NEW CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
German Physician Declares That
EuoalyDtus Fumes Will De-
stROy the Disease Germs.

A remedy claimed by its inventor as
anentirely new trea atment for consump-
ton is attracting the attention OF lung
specialists at Berlin and the medical
profession generally. 1t consists OF
the inhalation OF vapor produced by
heating a mixture of eucalyptus OIL,
sulphur and charcoal, and it is stated
that it is more effective than any
serum remedy hitherto tried.
Robert Schneider, druggist, OF
Berlin, conceived the idea while trav-
cling in parts of Australia, where tne
lyptus tree grows luxurantly'
Consumption 10 almost unknown
among the inhabitants OF these dis
tricts and sufferers from the disease
who go there improve speedily. Herr
Schneider upon returning to Berlin
communicated his idea to DIR. Sommer-
field, a ply sician of high rePute, who
experimental in hospitals for Six
months. AS a result 60 Of 100 patients
treated by him were completely cured.
The inhalation of the vapor Kills the
bacilli. In some cases the patients
were kept in an atmosphere impreg-
mated with the fumes night and day
until they showed signs of relief Dr'
Sommerfeld will read a paper on the
subject before the Berlin Medical So
ciety at the end of April, claiming that
the new curative agent, which is called
SanOsin, constitutes an enormous ao-
vance in the treatment OF tuberculosls.

Chinese Fish Farming

Those ever-ingenious people. the Chi
nese, are great at fish farming. and one
of their little lodges for Matching young
fish is most ingenious. Taking fresh
egg. they suck the contents through a
tiny hole and refill the egg with tiny
eggs of the fish they want to hatch. The
hole is then sealed up and the egg placed
under a sitting hen. In a very few days
the fish ova are so far advanced that one
has only to break the shell into mod
erately warm water and the little fsh
spring to life at once.

David A. Montgomery, one of Dan
yille's most prominent citizens and a
member OF Council, died at 9 o'clock
Monday eve, after suffering with a
complication of diseases for about two
years and a half.
The deceased was born in what was
then New berry, bat now the 18th and
1lth Wards of the city Of Williams
port, # years ago He was married to
Miss Emma Pursel, daughter of Mr..
aud Mrs. J. f. Pursel. April /. 1895,

The Pure Food Farce.

1t is suggested that the Pennsylvania
pure food laws should be enforced only
against dealers who have been warned
that certain goods which they handle
are impure and who nevertheless per
sist in selling them.
Justice would approve such depart
ure from present methods of enforcing
the laws. As now enforced these laws
are farcical.
Tie retailers against whom the arms
of the Commonwealth are leveled are
in most cases innocent of wrOngdolng
or of completely in violations of the
law. They buy what they believer are
pure goods and sell them under that
belief. It is unjust to mulct them, up
on the represe ntation of chemists from
whose findings there is no appeal, for
the selling of alleged adulterated
goods.
1t should be clear to everybody that
the retailer is himself the victim OF
the adulteration. What can be said IN
defense of that law which Furnishes the
victim of a crime or misdemeanor
What would be said of the mental level
of people who would send to jail the
victim of an assault and take no action
against the assailant?

Xmas Shoppers Out in Force.

The near approach of the Christmas
season is being heralded in this city
in many ways, but one of the most
noticeable manifestations of the ad-
vent of the Yuletide is the steadily
increasing number of shoppers that
throng the Danville stores. Last even
ing many persons were on the streets,
aud nearly all were bent on gift pur-
chasing expeditions.
IN the toyland stores especially large
crowds are to be found, many bring
ing the little ones to see the wonder
ful collection OF toys. This season is
always a delight to the children.
The windows of the stores are also
beginning to reflect the brightness OF
the season. Many have taken on their
Holiday attire. and are beautiful in
their festive decorations. The merch'
ants of DanvilIe deserve great credit
for the attractiveness that is always a
feature of the stores at Christmas time

Quail to Be Distributed.

Yesterday the committee. appointed
by the Danville Rife and Gun Club
to collect funds for tile purchase Of
quail for distribution was busy solicit
ing aid among the sportsmen IN this
vicinity, and met with enrcouraglng
success.
Enough money was subscribed to
warrant the purchase of an additional
ten dozen of the birds. This, together
with the twelve dozen quail that the
Club decided to buy, will make twenty
two dozen to distribute. Not all OF
the sportsmen have been seen, how
ever, so in all probability the number
will exceed the twenty two dozen now
pledged.
Anyone desiring to order birds and
wishing to take advantage of the club
rates, can leave their order with Rob
ert Y. Gearhart, Treasurer of the Dan
willie Rifle and Gun Club. The quail
can be obtained for 800 dozen ano
can be taken "a soon as the conslgn'
ment reaches this city.

CENY BY BAILEE

Saturday afternoon p. Miller, farm
er residing in Liberty township, was
placed under 5000 bail by Squire Dal-
ton for his appear iuce at Court to an
swer the charge of larceny by bailee.
The prosecutor was Benjamin Mill
er, a junk dealer of thus city. He testi
fed to having VISITED the farm OF the
defen liant on November 2S, last and
negotiated for the purchase of lot Of
old iron, at 40 cents per hundred. He
paid 50 on account, and left for home
with the understanding that he was to
return in a few days and get the iron
On Monday, December D. he went back
and upon looking around, discovered
that the pile of iron that he alleges
was the one he had purchased, was
not as large as it had b3en at the time
of his first visit. In fact, he said. only
few pieces of it remained aud as they
were of an inferior quality, he refused
to take them. He asked p. Miller what
had become of the pile. aud the latter
replied that he had sold them to Jacob
Engle that morning at 30 cents per
hundred. Continuing the prosecutor
said that he came home, aud had
warrant issued for the arrest OF p.
Miller. The latter claimed that he
made no specific agreement with Ben
jamin Miller to sell him the iron. He
came there on November %. and said
he wanted load of iron. He did not
say whe ther he wanted scrap or cast
iron, nor did he mention how many
hundred weight he desired to secure.
Il had seven piles of iron about my
premises. He simply said he wanted
iron, and that he would be back in a
few days. He offered me 3 to bind
the bargain. At first | refused tn take
it, but when he insisted that | should,

came to my place on the morning of
Dece nb3r 5, and | sold him 1900
pounds of iron at 50 cents per hundred
Later in the day Benjamin Miller put
in an appearance again. He threw "A

istrste. Benjamin Miller WAS held in

Holding Church Fair on Sund.

Despite the fact that the church au-
thorities are violently opposed to the
scheme, the church fair in the base
meut OF a Shamokin house of worship
is open to the public Sunday evenings
and there is great Indignation over
the desecration of the holy day.
The fair is run full blast and one OF
the prominent features is the wheel OF
fortune giving each and every one
ohanc3 to win prize.
Although the profits resulting from
the fair are turned over for good
cause. there is great objection over the
practice of conducting the place OF
amusement openly on Sunday even

rIuSt Paw Annual Tax.

Representative Snyder of Schuylkill
county, is preparing bill to present
to the next Legislature asking that a
dollar tax be put upon every man who
carries a gun. In every sense OF the
word this law would be good one II
it were properly enforced aud the pro-
ceeds of the tax were applied in the
direction of increasing and protecting
the game supply in the State. which,
in this section at least, has reached a
low point
The tru5 sportsmen will doubtless
welcome a law of this character Ger
tainly those in those counties where
for many years few men interested
in hunting have dubbed together and
footed bills for importing birds from
the west-putting them out IN most
likely places in the county only to
have them slaughtered by the hordes
of gunners who take to the fields the
first few days of the season.

Five physical culture classes are
now in successful operation. The bust
ness mems evening class and the busi-
ness mems afternoon class both meet
twice a week. The latter is not as well
attended at present as 1t might be, but
will, doubtless, have larger number
present at the meetings after the holl-
DAYS. The class for young men and
the boys class each meets twice a week
in the evenings, and the young ladies
class twice a week in the afternoons.
The latter class is popular with the
young ladies, well attended and grow
ing in interest. 1t is confidently eX-
pected that after the first of the year
greater interest will be manifested IN
all the classes.
Parents who have an interest IN the

will be good for one year in any Y.M.

that the picture before him, is real and

TEAMS CROSSING
RIVER ON THE ICE

Teams and vehicles are now crossing
the river on the ice. The mail was
brought over in wagon Tuesday even
ing; teams crossed yesterday without
mishap. Pedestrians are still making
good use of the foot path the path
way is safe in every respect at the
present time, but in order that it may
continue in that condition, the News
suggests that wagons, sleds and other
heavy vehicles be given an entirely
different and distinct route to follow.
Wheels and horses boots will wear
the ice through more rapi lily than the
feet of men and women. Consequent
ly there should be two roads across
the river. Leave the present path for
pedestrians and locate another for
vehicles.
As a safe guard against possible
slipping and falling when descending
the South side bank, the snow and ice
should be covered with ashes. The
same precaution should be taken on
this side
