Mr.. LAUMASTBR'S
SECOND ADDRESS

At the mems meeting in the Young
Mems Christian Association Hall yes.
terday Mr.. Laumaster gave his second
address on the Worlds Sunday School
Convention and Visit to the Holy
Land" A good sized audience was
present. and all were very we'll pleas
ed with the interesting facts present.
ed.
In his address Mr.. Lsumaster finish
ed up his account of the Convention
at Jerusalem which was begun in the
first address last month. He gave ac-
counts Of the leading addresses of the
convention. reading extracts from
many of them. His discussions of the
speeches Of the press censor and Gov
ernor of Jerusalem and of Ministers
from. Turkey, Japan, Corea, Persia
and the Philippines were especially
interesting.
He talked about the missionary re-
ports made at the convention by rep
resentatives from every part of the
world and read extracts from many of
these interesting reports. In this con.
neotion he also spoke about the mis-
sionary collection that was taken up
at the convention. and which amount.
ed to nearly $4,000.
He gave in full the resolutions ad-
opted by the convention which are of
especial Importance to Sunday School
interests throughout the world.
Mr.. Laumaster's talk included many
very interesting bits of description, lis
word pictures of the large tent in
which the convention was held being
particularly absorbing. The big canvas
was in the form of q rectangular A
tent open at the sides and ends. and
sufficiently large to seat many more
than the 1900 regular delegates. Yet
the tent was always crowded. many
natives standing outside. The tent was
pitched outside the walls of Jerusalem
near the Mount of Olives Golgotha
and Gethsemane, all places of extreme
interest in sacred history. By the gov
ernor's order special police and soldiers
of the Sultan of Turkey were detailed
to guard the tent at all times so that
the best of order prevailed.
The entire audience was extremely
we'll pleased with Mr.. Laumaster's iu-
struotive account of the convention in
this address. The next address will
have to do with the first landing at
Funshal in the Madeira Islands.

Trolley Advantages.

With a pardonable air of pride Mon
days Morning News announced that
"Danville was filled with visitors on
Saturday most Of them coming into
the city by way of the trolley line.
Berwick. Bloomsbury. Catawissa and
other towns in Columbia county were
represented.
This 10 the legitimate fruit Of the
trolley communication which Dan
ville's enterprise helped to bring into
operation. Where there are easy means
Of intercourse there will be travel and
business.
We very much need something of
that kind in this locality. Probably
in no other town of equal size in the
State are there so many arrivals of
people from distance as there are in
Sunbury, but they come by railroad
and do not have the same intent to do
business with our local tradespeople
as would those who come by trolley.
There are greater possibilities of bust.
ness with the latter kind of visitors, a
fact that should be recognized by all
towns that are looking after trade, and
should make an impression upon the
business men of our city.
We need trolley communication with
other localities. We especially need
it with Snyder county which would
be prolific source Of business for our
merchants and general traders. A troll
ley line extending from this place
through that section with its numer-
ous agricultural population and its
many small towns, would greatly en-
large the general trading business of
this city. Oan't this be be made OBJ
vious to our business people Sun

A GREAT
ATTRACTION

A large and cultured audience made
mp of Danville. Bloomsbury and Data.
wissa people enjoyed one of the most
notable attractions of the season at the
local theatre last night. the play being
"The Triumph Of An Empress" with
Mildred Holland in the role of "Cath.
crime the Great of Russia"
The telling Of mere outline of the
story can give no adequate idea of the
plays strength, nor can it show the
intense heart interest that runs through
the entire piece. The entire company
was exceedingly we'll balanced, made
up of clever and talented people. Miss
Hollands gowns and jewels were es-
pecially pleasing to the feminine por.
tion of the audience, who read their
description in the Morning News and
saw her display of the latter at Smiths
Jewelry store.
Though Miss Holland has always
been greeted with enthusiastic audi
ences in Danville her new play met
with popular favor last night. Its
chief value, however, is in giving Miss
Holland another of the roles in which
she excels. The refreshing quality of
her work is apparent when she is call
ed upon to display either comedy or
emotional quality. AS "Catharine the
Empress" she has role that fits her
admirably, and she plays it we'll. She
was accorded several curtain calls.
Henry c. Mortimer's portrayal of
the Emperor was sincere and intellig.
ent. Lillian Norris as plotting count
ess gave an impressive rendition of the
difficult role. Effective support was
also given by John A. Missen, George
Warrington, Helen Young and Rita
O'Neal. The remodeled stage of the
Dnnville theatre accommodated the
scenic effects to the smallest detail.

COOPERATIVE
TELEPHONE line

Charles V. Anerman, Esq. who has
been agitating the construction OF
rural telephone lines stated last even
ing that the plan is meeting with great
favor among the farmers of Montour
county and that the building Of CO.
operative system embracing many
small lines with the farmers them
selves as share holders will probably
be a project Of the near future.
The plan that meets with most favor
is telephone system running lines
from the different towns and villages
at different points of the compass,
each line to accommodate from 26 to
40 phones and to be connected, not
only with other lines of the system,
but with lines of other companies as
well.
That this can be accomplished is
shown by the following letter:

RLLKESBARRB St
DhNVILLB 81

The Ninth Regiment basket ball
team of Wilkesbarre administered q
very decided defeat to the Danville
team at the ArInory last evening by
the score Of 67-31. The game. how
ever, was not an uninteresting one
sided contest, the soldiers only throw
ing their baskets after the hardest kind
of work.
The visitors outweighed the home
team, which was possibly their great
est advantage. Danville scored the
first basket of the game and for few
minutes prospects looked bright for a
Danville victory, but Wilkesbarre soon
started the fine playing that held the
locals down. The first half ended with
the score 85-7 in favor of Wilkesbarre.
Part of the second half was much the
same as the first, and it was not until
Kane, Wilkesbarre' star center, was
compelled to leave the game on account
Of injuries, that Danville did any con
sistent playing. With only five min
utes to play Danville made six pretty
goals before time was called. The game
ended with the score 67-Sl In favor Of
Wilkesbarre.

RUSSIANS NOW WANTS
ANOTHER BIG FIGHT

ST. PETERSBURG,N Nov 23, Z a. m.
A naval correspondent of the Novoe
Vremya urges the formation of third
squadron for service in the Far east
and points out that the ship, modern
battleship is available at Cronstadt, to
which, he says could shortly be added
two battleships and two cruisers of a
somewhat older type and fifteen tor.
pedo boats. making in itself formid-
able fleet.
The writer suggests incidentally that
there is still possibility of getting
out the Black Sea fleet, which, added
to the above squadron should heavily
overmatch the remnant of Jspsn's sea
power.
