GID RESIDENT
PASSES AWAY

William G. Davis, an old citizen
and ono of our most active business
men, departed this life Sunday after
noon after an illness Of two years. The
| deceased, who conducted a bakery and
confectionery, was in business at the
same stand on Mill street, near NAH
oning for a period of nearly thirty
seven years. No other dealer between
the bridge and the canal can claim
the distinction of conducting his bust
ness so long at one stand.
The deceased was widely known. n
man of strict integrity, of general and
obliging disposition he had friends
wherever his dealings extended. He
was born in Pottsville but came to
Danvillo when young man.
Although he suffered great deal
during the latter months Of his illness
yet he was much of the time up and
about. During the last two weeks he
was very low. On Saturday death
seemed near and Sunday afternoon
shortly before 2 o'clock he passed
away.
The deceased was fifty.nine years of
age. His wife survives along with two
sons and daughter: DR.. Edward l..
Davis of Berwick, Samuel Davis of
Pueblo, Col, aud Miss Anna Of this
| city.
The deceased was veteran of the
Civil War, aud the momhers of Good
rich Post, No. p, c. A. r., will at
tend the funeral in a body.
The funeral of William G. Davis,
which took place from the late resid-
ence, Mill street, yesterday afternoon,
was very largely attended. The ser
vices were conducted by Rev. Harry
Curtin Harman, pastor of st. Paul's
NJ. Z. church The pail bearers were ::
| Robert Adams, Samuel Mills, Michael
Shires, w. l.. Antrim, W. II. Ammer-
man and William Blecher.
The deceased was veteran of the
Civil War, member of Company NJ,
l12th Pennsylvania 2nd Heavy Artil-
lery. The veterans of Goodrich Post,
No. %, G.. A. R., of which he was a
member, thiFty-fve strong, turned out
in body marching with the remains
to Mt Vernon cemetery, Riverside
Heights, where interment was made.
The p. O. S. of A., to which the de-
ceased belonged, was also represented
at the funeral, and thirteen strong
marched along to the cemetery.
The floral offerings were quite
beautiful, one of them being from the
p. 0. S. Of A. There were tributes
from many individual friends.
The following persons from out of
town attended the funeral: Miss Har-
riet Alexander, Philadelphia; Mr.
and Mrs William Davis, LarksvIlle;

NEW IRISH LAND BILL.
Measure Does Not Provide for Com.
pulsery Purchase.

London, March Co.. o,,o.
retary eet and, George Tyndham,
9s' Introduced the Irish hnd bill in
the house Of commons.
Mr.. Wyndham said the object of the
bill was to amend the land purchase
law. The government could not ig-
more the problem, owing to the acute
crisis in agriculture, which was now
at a standstill.
The main provision of the bill au.
thorizes the land committee to take
over the whole or part of an estate
whose owner is willing to SELL. The
committee will then resell it to the
tenants, but the assent of taree-quar-
tiers of the number of tenants is neces.
sary before the committee Will under
take to transfer any part OF an
estate. The landlord may re,
purchase part of his estate, not
exceeding one-fifth Of the total
area from the commission, thus be
coming a tenant purchaser, in case he
desires to continue to reside on the
estate. TIE bill does not provide for
compulsory purchase. All the trans.
| fer arrangements are in the hands OF
the commission and are simplified as
much as possible.
The bill provides that cash not ex
ceeding G3,000,000 to, be outstanding
at any one time, may be advanced to
the commission by the exchequer
thus enabling purchases to be made II

PEACE DISTANT
PESSIMISTIc VIEW OF SIR GEORGE
GOLplE, JUST BACK FROM
SOUTH AFRICA.
Beers ARE STILL HOPEFUL

Failed to Meet Any Rurshers Who
Recognize That They Have Been
Finally Beaten, Although Admitting
They Have Been Temporarily Over
weighed by Observation-Disclosures
Does Not Represent Fighting Beers.
London, March 26.-Sir George
Goldie, vice president of the Royal
Geographical society and founder of
Nigeria, who has just returned from
a thorough investigation of South
Africa, where he conferred with Lord
Miner, Lord Kitchener, Cecil Rhodes,
Sir Walter aly-HutchinsOn, the gov
ernor of the Cape of Good Hope, and
numbers of other influential men,
brings home rather pessimistic ideas
of the general situation from a Brit
ish point of view.
Things in Cape Colony he regards as
especially dangerous and he considers
that the most serious difficulties will
be encountered there in the near fu-
ture. In the course of an interview
with representative of the Associat-
ed Press Sir George Goldie, while rec
ognizing the possible Importance of
Acting President Schalkburger's step,
said he was convinced that the ques-
ton of peace or war rests in the hands
of President Steyn and that Mr.. kru-
ger and the other Beers in Europe no
longer represent Boer opinion. The
real difficulty in the path of peace, he
believes, is the question of granting
amnesty to the Cape and Natal rebels
and Sir George says the vague prom
Uses of the British government have
not the slightest weight while the
fighting burghers are in their present
state of mind. Sir George Goldie adj
vocates granting amnesty to the reb-
els, but he insists that everyone must
be disfranchised for life. This, he de-
clares, would go far towards allaying
the bitterness of the loyalists. Sir
George deprecates any attempt to per-
says English alone must be the official
language and adds that the fact that
practically the whole of the rising gen.
erations of the two republics are now
in the concentration camps and are
rapidly learning English will be of
great aid in this direction. He esti-
mates that 100000 armed men will be
needed in South Africa for many years
after the conclusion of peace.
Sir George Goldie says he failed to
meet any Beers who yet recognized
that they had been finally beaten,
though some of them admitted that
they had been temporarily over
weighed by numbers.

CARLYLE would Talk.

Professor Blackie said Of Carlyle: 81
admired his genius. But how he would
talk, talk, talk, and give nobody a
chance to put in a word! One night I
actually shook him. His wife had been
trying all the evening to say some
thing, but there was not the smallest
chance. I took hold Of him and shook
him, saying, Let your wife speak, you
monsterv But it was of no use."

S6apsuds Are Valuable.

Few persons knew how very useful
soapsuds prove when employed as ma
nure. Applied to the roots of vines,
fruit trees, roses, etc., they impart a
vigor and a rapidity of growth which
are perfectly surprising. No one who is
so lucky as to have a garden should
waste this valuable form Of manure.
It is an excellent plan to have large
tub and put the soapsuds and dirty
water into 1t till required upon the
garden.

DETAILS ARRANGED FOR TURN
ING GOVERNMENT OF CUBA
+ OVER TO ITS PEOPLE.
MAY 20 THE DATE FIXED
American Control Will Cease on That
Day and President-Elect Palma Will
Be lnaugurated - Entire United
States Force Will Be Immediately
Withdrawn Unless the Cuban Au.
thorities Desire 1t Otherwise.

Withdrawn unless the Cupan Au'
thorities Desire 1t Otherwise.
Washington, March 26.-May 20.
1902, is the date fixed for turning over
the Island of Cuba to it's people. The
change of date was made, if not at the
suggestion, then with the full approval
of President-elect Palma and his ad.
visors, Seniors Tamaya and Queseda,
who were with him at the war depart
ment during the day. This date should
be a memorable one in Cuban history
for it will not only mark the acquisi.
ton of full independence but will be
the Cuban Inauguration day, it having
been determined that President Palma
shall be inaugurated on the same day
that American control of the island
ceases.
All but the smallest details of the
change in Cuba have been planned
and those remaining details were I'M
der adjustment at meeting held at
the war department during the day.
Beside Secretary Root, President
Palma and Seniors Tamaya and Quese-
da, General Wood attended. The
meeting occurred in the secretaryS
Office. In addition to the final selec-
tion of May 20 as Cuban independence
day two other importance conclusions
were reached. The first was that Gen.
eral Wood should Immediately upon
his return to Cuba issue call conVen-
ing the first Cuban congress in session
on May 10 in order that the body
might employ the 10 days following
that date in supplying any legislation
necessary to the assumption of full
powers in the island. The other con-
clusion was that there should be no
halfway evacuation of the island; the
present disposition is to move the en-
tire United States contingent, civil
and military, away from the island, not
even leaving corporals guard of
United States soldiers in any of the
camps. This, however, does not ap-
ply to the coast defences at several
points in the island. These will be gar
risoned by United States troops under
command of Colonel William l.. Has
kins. If this programme is not exc
cuted it will be for the sole reason
that the Cubans themselves, through
their authorized officials, request that
the departure of the United States
troops be delayed for time.
