RAIN SPOILS
THE GAME

The game of base ball between the
"Old Timers of this place and the
Friendship A. A. of Bloomsbury at
DeWitt's Park Monday was played
under good deal of difficulty. The
rainy conditions during the afternoon
made it doubtful whether the game
could proceed at all. At O'Clock the
sky seemed to brighten a little and 1t
was decided to go on with the game.
A slight dash of rain soon caused an
interruption after which the game re-
sumed only to be brought summarily
to stop at the close of the fifth in
ming by heavier shower, which pre-
oluded all hope of any further playing
during the day.
The contest, however, was interest

evenly matched, the score at the end
OF the fifth inning being l to l. The

The classes Of the Y. M. O. A. gym

WHERE THE FERRY
FALLS SHORT

If the object of the County Com
missioners in establishing a free ferry
was to fill the place of the river
bridge, then the fact might as well be
known that i'll one important respect
it is not fulfilling it's mission.
1t is in accommodating the working
men, of South Dsnville, puddlers and
others Obliged to work at night, that
the ferry especially falls short. Pud-
dlers and other wOrkmen frequently
get through shortly after midnight.
As things now stand instead of being
able to go home to enjoy we'll earn
ed rest they are Obliged to lie around
the mill until the hour Of 2 a. IN. be-
fore they can cross the river.
This is not all With ferry hours as
they are. the working men are not al
ways sure of being taken home when
2 O'Clock arrives. This was demon
strated yesterday morning by an un-
fortunate occurrence, which is being
made the subject of a great deal of
comment.
AS is we'll known the weather yes
terday morning was rainy. Among
those who assembled at the ferry land
ing at this side OF the river at 2 o O'CloCk
or little before were seven working
men from the rolling mills, who want
ed to get across.
The party waited but two O'Clock
and half past 2 O'Clock arrived and the
ferry was still lying at the other land
ing. Three O'Clock arrived and there
was still no sign Of the ferry man.
The men were IN clothing saturated
with perspiration; the night air was
raw and in the falling rain they sutf-
cred much from the cold. To keep
warm they moved hriskly up and down
the shore. AS the time passed, how
ever, and half hours grew into hours
they became justly indignant. Half
past arrived and there was still no
ferry. Shortly after, however, the
boa was seen to start but it was not
until ten minutes of four that it reach.
ed the opposite side.
No one regretted the delay more
than the ferryman himself and it is
only just that his full explanation
should be given. He had oversight
himself. The present hours, he ex-
planned, are such as to make it very
hard work to get out on time. Ii
would be much better. according to his
view, if the ferry could be kept run
mug day and night. The twenty -four
hours then could be divided into two
turns of twelve hours each, one be-
ginning at a. m. and ending at
p. m.
The ferryman' s views are entitled
to good deal OF consideration. He
is conscientious man and has distin-
guished himself by the most faithful
service as ferryman. Two O'Clock Ii
undoubtedly an inconvenient hour for
beginning days work and the rem
edy that he proposes is good one
and corresponds with the plan adopt
ed at Berwick where an all night ser.
vice is maintained.
Considering that the service here at
present is so nearly IN all night one il
would not be going much further and
would not entail much greater ex
pense if the Whole "A hours were tax
en in. At Berwick the ferrymen are
paid $50 per month in an all-night ser
vice.

THE RECITAL
A SUCCESS

The recital, which took place in the
High school Monday forenoon, the
first of its kind ever given in DanVille,
has gone on record as an unbounded
success. 1t admirably served its pur
pose, which was to acquaint the pa
irons of the schools with the methods
employed In teaching music and to
give them an opportunity of judging
as to the results achieved In this
branch.
The patrons of the schools were on
hand, all the seats in the High school
room being filled. The recital lasted
lust one hour, one hundred and fifty
children taking part. The classes were
fifteen in number, the exercises con
ssting of chart work, songs and Choir
uses. The pupils participating rang
ed from the merest tots in the first
schools, who had the chart work, to
the larger boys and girls OF the gram
mar schools, who sang songs and
choruses The exercises were in charge
of Miss Weiss, the teacher of music in
the public schools.
The recital throughout revealed a
most remarkable proficiency and this
in view of the fact that of the four
years course in music but two years
have elapsed since that branch was in
troduced in our schools. The chart ex
ercises revealed the thoroughness of
the drill and how we'll even the very
small pupils are instructed in the ele-
ments or first principles of music.
They sang the scale with an ease and
accuracy that was astonishing, while
the songs and choruses were rendered
with good effect. The smallest pupils
have advanced far enough to read
music and their accomplishments on
the whole show that the most crafty
ing results may be expected by the
time they complete the whole six years
course in music.
The patrons present expressed them
selves in the most gratified terms Con-
cerning the quality of the work. The
School Directors present were equally
we'll pleased and heartily approved the
day when music was introduced into
the schools.

Memorial Day.

The custom in this country OF dec
0rating the last resting places of the
soldier dead was borrowed from Ger
many. The idea was suggested by a
former resident of Germany, who had
served in the Union army. General
Logan in 1868 was commander of the
G.. A. r. and issued an order to each
post to go as body to decorate the
graves of their departed comrades.
From this beginning the custom has
so grown that the day is legal holi-
day in many of the States.
Although at first it was dIstinc-
tive soldier day. it has increased now
until nearly all departed friends are
remembered. 1.-THE only national debt
that this country can never pay is the
debt owing the Union soldiers " This
has been the emblem painted on the
banner of every patriotic citizen of
our country. This is the reason for
the general observance of Memorial
Day. The gallant boys of '6l are rapid

brave men accomplished are more rap.

with all its beautiful teachings, is be-
ing observed more generally each pass

Everywhere in this land of ours the
brave soldiers graves were decorated
yesterday. The memories that are
awakened. Fathers, brothers, sons,
friends and sweethearts, dead for their
country's sake. Flowers were placed
on all their graves, the rich and the
poor alike. They are equally loved
and respected.

GRMMAR SCHOOL
COMMENCEMENT

Grammar school commencement in
DanvilIe has ceased to be departure
and has become a permanent feature
of commencement week. Teachers and
pupils alike from the first have show
ed a commendable interest in the ex.
ercises and there has never been any
disposition on the part of either to
shirk. Indeed, there seems to be some
thing about the general Importance of
the event, the preparation required,
the fOrmality, etc that seems to in
vest the grammar school with new
dignity, as we'll as new interest. No
one who was present at the commence
ment in any of the three wards yester-
day could help but feel impressed with
this fact The event, although on a
counterpart of High School Commence
ment Not only were the white dresses
of the fair girl graduates" in evil
dence, but also most elaborate decora-
tions i'll which the class colors pre-
dominated.
In each of the Wards the program as
printed in these columns a few days
ago was carried out to the letter. The
papers read were clever productions,
while every number of the program
was rendered with care and an at.
tention to detail which showed that
the class fully appreciated the import.
ance and dignity of the occasion.
The public generally showed its in
terest by attending the grammar school
commencement. In each of the wards
standing room was at premium. Not
only were the regular seats filled with
patrons and the friends of the gradu-
ates, but every chair which could be
crowded into the room was occupied.
The decorations were something fine.
The large well-lighted grammar school
room of the First Ward was marvel
The class colors were pink and white.
The front part of the room was decor,
ated with a rich profusion of red car
nations, while the big blackboard was
hidden behind feStoons of pink and
white bunting. The doorway was drap,
ed with large American flag, while
flags smaller in size along with flowers
and pink and white bunting were ar
tistically arranged in every part of the
ROOM
In the Second Ward the class colors
were white and green. Mock orange.
the class flower, was yOry prominent
among the decorations. There were
also wild flowers in profusion, along
with ferns, etc. White and green bunt-
ing was literally employed in the dec
orations.
In the Third Ward the claas colors
were carnation and white. Old Glory
cut a prominent figure in the decora-
tions. The ceiling even was half con-
cealed beneath rich festoons of bunt-
ing which extended overhead diagOn-
ally from corner to corner. Beautiful
flags were arranged about the four
walls in the most artistic manner. A
row of large ferns extended across the
front of the room, separating the class
from the audience. Snow balls and
other flowers were arranged about the
room in profusiun.
The diplomas were presented by
Borough Superintendent Gordy. Yes
terday's exercises practically wound
up the school term for the Grammar
school pupils. They will be obliged
to reconvene Tuesday morning to re-
turn their books, but recitations on
that day will not cut much of figure.
