daily bread. What a strange
thing it really is! Aud yet we give
it such little thought We prefer
to think about the Wall street man

operations; we would like to inn
itate him aud TO share in his sue
cesses. We DO not realize that the
stock exchange is simply engaged
in converting the produce OF the
soil into cnsh, OF its equivalent.
We do not realize that il this pro-
cess of conversion is going beyond
legitimate limits, that is TO say, il
it disregards the real value Of an-
nual crops, the stock exchange is
manufacturing wealth, and not
creating it. And here is where the
danger comes in. AS soon as the
speculstor and manipulation Of
stocks tries to make something
out of nothing, things become top

a Fine Address.

The mems Sunday afternoon meeting
past has been woefully deficient in in.
terest and attendance, Sunday was OF
the energetic old fashioned sort, which
yielded an inspiration that, if we mis-
take not, will affect attendance i'll the
| future
The meeting was conducted by Bever-
ly Musselman. The speaker on the oc-
casion was Rev. R J. Allen, the talent
ed young pastor of st. Peters NJ. E.
church, of Riverside, while his gifted
wife favored the meeting with solo,
rendering Come Thou Fount of Every
Blessing" in a manner that added much
to the beauty and impressiveness of the
hymn.
Rev Allen founded his remarks upon
the scriptural passage: What ever
thou findest to do, do it with all thy
might, &c" 1t was sound discourse,
every utterance of which had practic-
al value of its own, showing the neces-
sity of earnest living and of earnest
persevering effort to develop Christian
character, to combat evil and uplift those
around us
The meeting next Sunday afternoon
will be for both ladies and gentlemen.

WILL MAKE
GAS RANGES
A Departure on Which Stove Works is
About to Embark.

In order to keep pace with the in
creasing popularity of gas as fuel the
Danville Stove & Manufacturing com
pany has followed the example of other
industries of its kind and taken up the
manufacture of gas ranges. The pat
terms for one size, manufactured by Nc
Loughlin q Co., of Philadelphia, are
now completed and are daily expected
to reach the works here. As soon as
they arrive work will be begun on the
iron patterns, which will be completed
in the course of a month, so that the
company will have no difficulty in get
ting out the size under way in time for
the spring trade. The entire line will
comprise three sizes the two remaining
ones being smaller The ranges will be
adapted for the burning of both natural
and manufactured gas and therefore
will find large sale in the East as well
as in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio
1t may not be until several months in
the future however that the entire line
will be completed and thrown on the
market
The gas range is in so many respects
superior to the hot plate" commonly
used with gas that it may in time sup
ersede the latter. At all events there is
growing demand for gas ranges and
from indications it is not unlikely that
in the future their manufacture will
comprise a large proportion of the bust
ness at our Stove Works.

Gulick to be Tried Next Week.

John Gulick who murdered his moth

year ago will be tried for his inhuman
crime at Sunbury next week. The only
witness who will be called by the Com
monwealth will be Samuel Gulick, the
father of the murderer, who was an eye
witness of the tragedy. There are grave
doubts, however, whether the stricken
sire viii be able to stand the ordeal The
murderer was to have been tried in
November last, but the old man, when
the time for the ordeal approached, fell
i'll of nervous, ,prostration and the trial
had to be postponed. He is seventy
eight years of age and many believe that
when brought face TO face with his son
in court he will not be physically able to
testify 1t is said the old man prays for
death. Gulick spends much of the time
reading the Bible preparing for the fate
which he believes awaits him on the

THE OFFICE
OF BURGESS
None to be Elected at the Coming Spring
Election.

Danville can not elect a burgess this
year This fact was made apparent dur
ing an argument at court Friday af-
ternoon. John O. Meyer was elected for
three years, his term of Office not ex-
piring until 1903. In the case Of a vac
ancy, such as has occurred through the
death of Burgess Meyer, under the pres
ent law, the office can be filled only by
the court who appoints for the unex-
pired term. When no appointment is
made the duties devolve upon the presi e
dent of council.
Those about town who are generally
taken as authority on such matters seem
to have lost sight of the law as it re-
lates to the Office at present and the i'm
preston became general that the bOr'
ough this year would have to elect a
burgess The Democrats of the Second
Ward acting upon that assumption on
Thursday evening made a nomination
for that Office.
A petition was presented to court Fri
day afternoon signed by Albert Kem-
mer president of council, asking that
burgess be appointed. The petition was
presented by r. S. zimmerman and
strenuously opposed by Edwards Gear
hart. The result was quite surprise.
The judge was disposed to grant the
petition and he concluded that the best
man to assume the honor was Mr.. KEN
mer himself, who as president of council
had been discharging the duties of the
Office and he accordingly appointed him
Burgess.
This placed Mr.. Kemmer in very
awkward position, for while he appreci-
ed the honor conferred, it disqualified
him for holding his position as council
man. 1t did not take him long to de-
eide that of the two he would rather be
councilman and he respectfully declin-
fused to accept the declination and court
adjourned leaving Mr.. Kemmer wearing
the official robe of burgess.
w. G. Pursel was Tuesday appoint
ed Burgess of Danville by the court to
fill the unexpired term of the late John
O. Meyer. The appointment was made
at a special session, which convened at
$50 a. m, Judge Little and Associate
Dr. S. Y. Thompson occupying the
bench
The session was one of the shortest on
record. Judge Little merely stated the
object of meeting explaining that as
Councilman Albert Kemmer had de-
clined to accept the Burgesship another
appointment was necessary He then
proceeded to name Mr.. Pursel for the
high Office, after which court adjourn
ed
During an interview Tuesday after
noon Mr.. Pursel stated that he would
accept the honor. The appointment
meets with general approval. Mr.. Pur-
sell is progressive young business man
closely in touch with the industrial as
well as other interests of the town, and
whose integrity and Judgment are be-
yond question For number of years
past he has held the position of chief
clerk under the firm of Howe & Polk,
proprietors of the Structural Tubing
works this city, where he has well
demonstrated his capability and all
those qualities which enter into the
character of faithful and conscien-
tious public officer.
