French Holiday.

While both the ball games Sun
day afternoon were interesting
and entertaining from beginning
TO end and of a nature to awaken
the utmost enthusiasm on every
hand, it is sincerely to be regret
ted that in the last half of the
tenth inning the Morgan City ball
tossers took exception to the rul-
ing of umpire Earl Hine and by
order of their Captain Houtch-
croft walked off the field, thus
bringing to an abrupt end one of
the prettlest games played on
home grounds this season.
While Captain Houtchcroft and
his men undoubtedly considered
themselves in the right, they
should have submitted to the de-
cision Of the umpire, (Hine) who
was fair and impair tial in every
instance, and if anything gave The
benefit to the visitors on more
than one occasion during the
stubbornly fought contest. The
M. G. boys acted very nice and
gentlemanly while here, and had
they renamed and finished the
second game Sunday, they would
have certainly increased their
popularity and gained the good
will of almost, if not all, of local
fandom. But as it Is, their pop
ularity has not increased in the
least.
Umpire Hines decision was
about like this. Foster stole third
by Siding. The ball was thrown
to Ozenne (M. C's third .baseman)
who caught the ball in ample time
to put L. out, but according to
decision failed to Go so failing
to touch T. ere the latter slid and
touched the bag. Some people
contend that Foster was ont land
by the way, the writer was quite
near and saw the play about as
well as any one, and considers
that he was) but at the same
time, it must be remembered that
the umpire is the one to decide as
to whether he was or not and if
he consclentiously believed Cap
tain Foster safe land there is no
doubt whatsoever but that he did)
then he did the only proper thing
that was to be done in the pre-
misses The score at this point
was 3 to . in favor of Morgan
City, with New Iberia at bat in
their last inning. Had M. G. con
tinued the game and held the
Iberians down as in previous
innings the game was theirs. On
the other hand, New Iberia still
had splendid fighting chance to
tie the score by a safe single,
which would have neccessitated
one or more additional innings
In justice to all, it must be
said that both umpires, Leblanc
in the first and Hine in the second
game, did as well as any one could
desire; both teams played great
ball at every point of the battles
for supremacy; and at no time
was either of the games interrupt.

"The blood is the life" Science has snever
gone beyond that simple statement of scrip
ture. But it has illuminated that statement
and given it meaning ever boardening with
the increasing breadth of knowledge. When
the blood is "bac" or impure it is not alone
the body which suffers through disease. The
brain is also clouded, the mind and judgment
are affected. and many an evil deed or i'm.
pure thought may be directly traced to the
impuriiy Of the blood. No one can be well
balanced in mind and body whose blood is
impure. No one can have wholesome and
pure life unless the blood is pure. Foul
blood can be made pure by the use of DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. When
the blood is pure, body and brain are alike
healthy and life becomes daily happiness.

A Good Thing.

The placing of a policeman on
Market street on Sunday nights by
Mayor Townsend is an act that is
highly appreciated by all the resi-
dents i'll that section. For years
the corner OF Third and Market has
been the gathering point for crowd
of young nen who seemingly are
waiting for the girls to come out
of the Methodist church. During
the hour or so that they loaf there
they trample upon private lawns,
and use language so profane and
indecent that ladies have been
driven from the porches. All this
has been rehearsed in the papers
time and time again, but no atten-
ton was paid to it, and the nuis.
ance continued. Policeman Win
tersteen was in charge last Sunday
night, and it was as quiet and or
derby as any one could desire. He
kept the crowd moving, and the
loafers had to look for other quart
ers. If it cant be broken up in this
way arrests will be made.

for the depositors in the defunct

The bank failed in 1898, having

The object OF his hatred was Lewis
Swatski. The two it would ap-
pear have not gotten along very

has at various frequent intervals
manifested itself. Antheg's bad
behavior reached a climax on Mon,
day when, after loading up on poor
whiskey he went al Swatsky with q
razor. That he didn't accomplish
his purpose was due solely TO the
latter's aiertneSs, who barely missed
two vicious lunges, Antheg was
arrested and Siven a hearing before

made no effort TO refute the impu-

Antheg is from all accounts bad

of his pockets. People generally
were afraid of him and his being
locked up has occasioned a feeling
of relief over Centralia way.

CHRISTIAN LAUBA0H DEAD,

Christian Laubach, leading citizen
Of Danville, departed this lite Monday
afternoon. His death, which occurr-
ed at iI:4s O'Clock, was entirely un-
expected and caused great surprise
about town. But a few were aware
that he was i'll. Although of adj
vanced years he was known to be
man of vigor who generally enjoyed
remarkable health.
The cause of his death was an at
tack of pneumonia, superinduced by
q cold contracted during a visit to the
psw sewer on Thursday. He was
considered quite i'll on Sunday, but
fatal termination, at least so soon, was
no, anticipated by the family.
His end was peaceful, sleeping, he
passed from life to death. At his
bedside when the end occurred, were
his son, George and three daughters,
Mrs, Pierce, Mrs, Jameson and Mrs,
Woods
Christian Laubach was 81 years Of
age. He was born at Benton, Col.
umbia county, February ~, 1910.
During his boyhood he clerked in a
store at Orangeville. In 1857 when
aI years Of age, he came to Danville.
He entered the employment of Peter
Baldy, clerking III his large general
store, until IS4s, the year in which
the Iron Works were started, when
seeing the business opportunities that
presented themselves, he opened a
store of his own on Mill street on the
site now occupied by B. l.. Marks
In IS4o he built the block on Mill
street at ID. l.. and W. crossing, which
is associated with his long business
career. Here in 1850, he opened his
store continuing at one stand fifty
years. until 1900, when he retired.
His business career comprised fifty
FIVE consecutive years and is probably
unsurpassed ii equaled by any in Dan
vile.
Mr.. Laubach never sought public
Office; nevertheless he served in the
Borough Council and was elected to
the office of Chief Burgess filling the
latter position about 1850.
He was nearly life long member
of ST. Paurs NJ. +. church. At the
time of his death he was the oldest
man in the congregation and he had
been member the longest number OF
years. His charities and gifts TO the
church were very large. a man OF
excellent judgment and ripe business
experience, his views or matters OF
finance connected with the church as
we'll as on matters relating to the
general management, were eagerly
sought up to the day OF his death.
The deceased was a widower, his
wife dying thirteen years ago. He is
survived by five children.
Mrs. Emma Woods, Mrs. A. w
Pierce, Mrs. Charles Jameson and
George Laubach OF this city and Mrs
Ellen Rote of Philadelphia.
He was the last survivor and the
youngest OF family of twelve children
A brother, George Laubach and a
sister, Mrs Poll Ikeler, OF Three
Rivers. Michigan, both died at an ad-
vanced age, the former at 90 year:
and the latter at oo.--Nonhow 4dmer,
hraa.
The deceased was an uncle OF
Daniel S. Laubach OF East Third
street this town and there are many
other relatives residing in and abou,
Benton. A number of the up creek
relatives attended the funeral which
occurred on Thursday.
