Slight Fire.

There was a slight fire at the parsOn
age of the Trinity Lutheran church
Saturday evening. What might have
proven very serious fire was prevent
ed by the presence of mind of the pas
cor, Rev. L. d. Ulrich.
Shortly after dark, Rev. Ulrich en-
tered his study and proceeded to light
the gas. In striking match, it seems,
a portion OF the head in an ignited
state dropped upon a couch. a moment
later as he turned around he found the
couch in blaze. He spent no time

water but did the wisest thing posi-

The only articles suitable for this pur-

burned rapidly, but Mr.. Ulrich was

Early Harvest.

A well-known farmer nf this county
who transacted business in Danville
Monday, advanced the opinion that
Cne of the results Of our phenomenal
spring will be an e3rly hay making
and harvest, which may come on by
the middle of June.
The wheat, he says, at some places
il nearly a foot in height, and breaks
into waves as the wind sweeps over
the surface The grass is advanced
to corresponding degree and unless
retarded in growth by want of ram
promises to yield good and early
crop.
The farmer in question is not certain
but that the quality of early wheat
may be impaired by the cold wave.
He is quite certain that the cold has
resulted in harm to budding fruit Of
all kinds, although the wind and the
dry condition of the atmosphere may
have kept the damage down to the
minimum.
A great deal, he says, depends upon
the kind of weather which follows i'm
mediately on the heels of the cold
wave. The ground was frozen and
should the cold continue the earth
will become thoroughly chilled and
that condition will work much harm.
The effect will be especially percepti-
BILE on strawberries, while the early
potatoes and other vegetables winch
have already been planted had a great
deal better be out of the ground, as
there is great danger that the seed
will rot.

Mrs. Rick in Monologue.

Mrs. Rick, of Williamsport, wife of
the late Rev. Rick, chaplain of the
18th Regiment, will give her mono
logne Hearts and Faces" in the \.
NJ. G. A. hall on May Sth. This most
attractive literary program will be
given under the auspices of the Ladies
Auxiliary of the Y. NJ. c. a. Mrs.
Rick will be assisted by a lady vio-
linist of Williamsport.
Hearts and Faces is monologue
on a new and daring plan. 1t calls
for seven tableaux or acts, and each
tableau means change of costume. 1t
is not q theatrical program by any
means, neither is it the usual elocu-
tion plan, but 1t is distinctly a new,
original and most unique method OF
portraying through the world of pan
tomime and dramatic art, "A beautiful
story from a clever pen. There is nc
single role ever played that calls fol
more versatility than does this very
difficult monologue play.

FOR THE TEMPLE
OF FAME.

Our townsman, W. B Rhodes, is
putting the finishing touches upon 4
portrait in his studio, West Market
street, which possesses an unusual
interest, owing to the prominence OF
the subject and the distinguished
place the portrait is to occupy.
The portrait is that of General w.
r. Miles, of Mississippi and is being
painted for the "Hall of Fame in
the new State Capitol at Jackson,
Miss, now approaching completion,
one of the most beautiful and impoS
ing structures of its kind in the
United States General William Ra-
phael Miles is "a man whom the South
delights to honor, At the outbreak
o: the Civil War he entered the ser
vice of the Confederacy and raised and
organized a legion composed of in
fantry, artillery and cavalry and
known as Miles Legion" At the
close of tho war he was one of the
Confederate Commission to arrange
the final paroles for the surrendered
armies. In organizing his Legion at
the beginning of the war he used his
own ample means as far as they went,
aud the return of peace found him, at
the age of IS, penniless with a debt
of 5000, 900 at ruinous rates of inter
est
He resumed the practice of law i'll
Yazoo City, Miss, and after cease
less struggle of twenty years discharg
ed his immense Indebtedness. At the
time of his death, in 1900, he had ac-
cumulated another fortune Before
the war he was the owner CT 250 slaves
and 10, 600 acres of land in the Yazoo
Valley.
The portrait shows General Miles
to be typical gentleman of the old
school, of extraordinary energy and
magnetism 1t is rare face depicted
on the canvas, face of indoscribable
CualII, thlIu, Ntt l'lpl' 'h', N'Hl'iN
and dignifed, with an immeasurab,e
quantity of intelligence defined.
The portrait is an oil painting, life
size and three-quarters length. The
subject is seated, the head resting
gracefully against the left hand, the
arm resting on the chair The draw
ing of the figure is most refined in
treatment and the ease and reposc eX-
pressed in the attitude of the sitter is
admirable. Altogether Mr.. Rhodes
ability has been put to severe test
in this important piece of work and
we are gratifed to say that he has
proven himself equal to the task.

THE BOARD
OF TRADE

The Directors Of the Board Of Trade
held a meeting in Council Chamber
Tuesday night. John Goeser occupied
the chair. Other members of the
Board were present as follows: NJ. G.

son, f. Q. Hartman, J. l. Evans,
James Foster, W. L Mcclure, David
Thomas, Harry Ellenbogon, George
Reitsnyder, W. G.. Williams and J
II. Cole.
The committee appointed TO amend
the constitution and bylaws present
ed its report. The report was accept
ed and copy of the by laws as amend
ed will he ready by next meeting.
A communication was read from
Arthur W Crossley of Washington, d.
c., who is interested in the new
carpet lining industry which is look
ing around for a location. Mr.. Cross
ley, whose letter was written in re-
ply to one from the Board of Trade,
has great confidence in the value of
his carpet lining and predicts a great
future for It, He begs our Board of
Trade as one of its first acts to take
up his proposition.
Mr.. Crossley incidentally stated
that he is MOutour county man, ,hav-
ing been born in West Hemlock town
ship
a communication was read from the
Retail Merchants Association of Penn
sylvania with reference to House bill
No. 49l, intended to regulate the trad
ing stamp evil. 1t urged that our
Board of Trade exert its influence
with our Representative TO induce
him to support the measure. The
trading stamp nuisance, it said, has
cost our merchants thousands of dol
lars and is being opposed by well-in-
formed merchants all over the United
States. There is much dissatisfaction
among people who present books for
redemption over the fictitious values
placed upon premiums.
On motion it was ordered that a re-
quest be made of Representative Am
norman that he support the House
bill in question, No 49l.
Secretary Mccoy reported that he
has up to date collected 1892 80 of the
money subscribed by members.
On motion il was ordered that the
Board OF Trade subscribe to the United
States Clipping Bureau, which had
forwarded samples Of its service, to the
end that it may keep informed as to
industries which wish to change their
location and new ones which are cast
ing about for a site.

for the borough that are under dis
cussion in council, dwelling especial
ly upon sewerage, which he said was
turned down by our Borough Fathers
at the last meeting, they even refusing
to consider bottom grade in cOnnec-
tion with the proposed survey. Sewer
age, he said, would have to come in
order to place the borough on a SAINT
ary footing and the Board of Trade if in
favor of advancing the town will have
to take a firm stand 1t would be use
less, he said, to try to get industries
here unless we reveal some public
spirit Mr. Foster and others spoke
in favor of sewerage and general re-
pairs on the streets.
The next meeting, which will be a
general one, will take place on the 4th
Monday of April.
