CONCERNING PERFUMES.

The Egyptian perfumes, according to
ancient authorities, were mostly made
in Egypt from materials imported from
Arabia, Persia, and Central Africa.
Grasse, in France, contains over 100
factories whichsdistill perfumes from
the flowers of the orange, jasmine,
rose, violet, cassia, tuberose and other
plants.
In Exodus xxx is given one of the
most ancient (1490 B. c. receipts
for making perfumery which we
have. In this case, however, it was re-
served for use in connection with the
religious rites as an incense.

Naval Academy in way satisfactory
to all concerned.

and somewhat arduous duties involv-
ed, is a feature to which he has been
looking forward with pleasant anticipa

BIG MONEY PAID
FOR BIG HATS

If you are a man and if you want
to be ultra fashionble this summer
why you must have Panama hat.
Some of these hats never saw Pana-
ma, but the most of them are genuine
and they cost lot of money. The real
article comes at from $40 to S25 and
there is really no limit if the purchas-
er cares to 90 higher. There are imi-
tatiOn Panamas, and some of them are
as good as the real ones that sell at -
and up to the SO which seems to be
the Panama minimum. These big hats
cost big money, but the up to date
man is known by his head gear The
Panamas are supposed to last life
time and are not affected by water nor
any thing else But by next year
there may be another vogue and then
it will cost more money to be follow
er of fashion
This Panama prevalence was es-
pecially noticeable at the recent Re
publican State Convention. All the
big fellows wore them and the big
ger the leader the larger was his Pan
anna. Hatters say that this summer
has been unprecedented in the big
prices paid for mems straw hats.

Beyond the questions of right and
might envolved in the controversy be-
tween the anthracite coal operators
and the striking miners is the supreme
duty resting upon all parties concern
ed to obey the laws of the land. The
evils complained of by the miners for
the remedying of which they have in
augurated the greatest strike of recent
years will not excuse violations of law
on the part of the strikers, no matter
how we'll grounded they may be. On
the other hand, the attempted coercion
on the part of the operators so bitter
ly condemned by the miners will fur
nish no excuse for setting aside the
law In order to establish their power
and force the workmen back to the
mines. The duty of obeying the law
Is not any more incumbent upon the
miner than upon the operator. Be
cause the miner is exposed to the temp
tation of resisting force with force,
and is therefore more apt to be led in
to overt acts of violence does not mean
that he is the only lawbreaker upon
whom close surveillance should be
kept. The law that is intended to
restrain him is also intended to operate
against the exercise of unfair or sinist-
er forces against him.
The country at large looks to the
chief leaders on both sides of the un-
fortunate contention for the preserva-
tiOn of the law. Both the strike lead
ers and the operators are regarded i'm
partially by majority of the Ameri-
can public, and the law that it expects
shall be enforced against disorders
among the miners is the same law that
it hopes to see put in the way of un-
just advantage on the part of the op-
orators. There are not two kinds of
law in this country, one for the poor
and one for the rich, and this truth
should be rigidly impressed in the
coal regions just now.

Fell Down Mine Shaft.

Richard Pooley, of Buckhorn, fell
down a mine shaft at the Almedia col
liery yesterday afternoon and was so
badly injured that he died last even
ing. In company with young man
named Walter Jones he entered large
hoisting bucket to go down the old
shaft, when the bucket suddenly shot
downward at a rapid rate. Jones
caught hold of a ladder and pulled
himself out Pooley was toppled out
of the bucket, falling eighty feet to

He was gotten to the surface as
quickly as possible. Both thighs were
broken and he was hurt internally.

ence at Williamsport must serve to

COAL METROPOLIS
WILL BE HERE

Manager Mccoy has arranged a date
Saturday afternoon. The coal metro
polls team is a strong one, composed
of noted players, and think that their
standard is better than that of the
"Old Timers. By the same token
the Danville daisies are of the opinion
that Shamokin can be beaten, although
they realize that the game will be a
close one. All this means that the
patrons will see a struggle of gladiat-
ors worth going miles to see. Sha-
mokin is coming to win but the "Old
Timers" will have something to do
that may make the visitors conclude
that there are others who know when
a ball is round.
Those Louisville bats, says Captain
" Rusty Ross, are wonders and when
they hit a Shamokin ball the coal re-
gion gang will think the strike is
busted Maley will pitch for Danville
and will do his best. He will also
be in the box on the afternoon of July
Fourth. "That Maley," says Captain
Rusty" Ross, will put them over the
plate so fast that the miners will think
specials are after 'em.
Next Wednesday afternoon the "Old
Timers" will play at Williamsport.
"When we hit Williamsport, says
Captain Rusty" Ross, ''those Bill
Towners will think the North Branch
has backed up from Sunbury, so swift
will we rush 'em. And don't you
think we won't, because we will.

citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is con-

He knows that this paper aims to adver-
tise only the best in its columns, and
when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm
advertised therein for lame back, he did
not hesitate in buying bottle of it for
his wife, who for eight weeks had suf-
fered with the most terrible pains in her
back and could get no relief. He says:
After using the Pain Balm for a few
days my wife said to me, i feel as

entire contents of the bottle the unbear-
able pains had entirely vanished and
she could again take mp her household
duties. He is very thankful and hopes
that all suffering likewise will hear of

The State Convention met Wednesday
of last week at Harrisburg as called and
after very interesting and exciting
session, nominated Judge Samuel W.
Pennypacker for Governor by major
ity of delegates, over Hon. John P.
Elkin, at present Attorney General
under Governor Stone.
The end brought about was not an
arbitrary one, but in consonance with
the opinion and belief of the largest
portion of the party. Elkin made
good fight and stayed in to the end.
He made vigorous and personal cam
paign, but he has announced like a
good Republican his loyal support of
the ticket made and the animus arous-
ed in him and his friends all of whom
were prominent regulars, will soon
disappear in the general good of the
party and desire for it's most complete
success
Of Judge Pennypacker we have al
ready spoken in the highest terms. 1t
is the best nomination possible and
the remainder of the ticket, Lieuten-
ant Governor and Secretary of Inter
nal Affairs, is excellent.
1t will demand all shades of Repub-
lican support and be elected by 25O, 600
majority.
All that now remains is for every
Republican to see to it, from this on
to November, that earnest, intelligent
and enthusiastic effort is given to call
out every voter in support of the tick
ct now made and endorsed by united
and harmonious party
The platform is the best made in
many years. Succinct, cogent and in
telligent, it upholds and sets forth all
the grand principles and work of the
Republican party, commends President
Roosevelt in the highest terms, and
names him as our standard bearer for
1904.

HURLED MANY FEET
BY FREIGHT TRAIN

Joseph Baird has just returned to
Danville after passing through an eX-
perience so thrilling that he was at
one time reported dead and his rela-
tives at Altoona wired instructions to
have his body held until their arrival
at the place of his supposed demise
He was run down by a Pennsylvania
fast freight, on the Trenton cutoff,
and for days laid unconscious in a
hospital at Norristown.
Baird left this city in April to go
to Philadelphia. He got off train at
White Marsh Junction, north of Nor
ristown, on the evening of April l6.
While walking down the tracks he was
hit by the freight train, which was
bound from New York to Harrisburg
and was running at a high rate of
speed. He was thrown thirty feet in
the air, falling hundred feet down
an embankment. His left arm was
broken III two places, the left side
paralyzed and the leg and foot injur
ed He also was seriously hurt about
the spinal column and kidneys. 1t
was not until three o'clock the next
morning, seven hours after the accid-
ent occurred that he was found. Then
he was hurried to the hospital.
After an examination the surgeons
litfln hnrNn for. hi, H'nr
seventy-tw hours he was unconscious
and his life seemed ebbing away.
Word was telegraphed to this city and
Altoona that he was dying. The Al
toona relatives misunderstood their
message and wired to Norristown to
hold the body until member of the
family arrived. Information later
reached here that he had succumbed
to his injuries.
After recovering consciousness Baird
was kept four days i'll the dark room.
Despite the rumors of his death and
the predictions of the doctors he slow
ly grew better and was discharged
from the hospital on May %. From
Norristown he went to Fort Washing
ton, where he remained until his re-
turn to Danville. He resided here
for thirteen years and has many
friends who are glad to know of his
safe return, after passing through such
peril. He has secured position at
the Reading Iron Works. He has al
most entirely recovered from the eff
ects of his terrible injuries, although
his back and kidneys still cause him
some trouble.
