ELECT OFFICERS

as follows:
Chief, Edward Purpur of the Friend
ship Company first assistant, Willard

Chief Sherwood, Archie Hummer,
Thompson Jenkins and John Waite.
The department. at the beginning of
the present year, starts out under
bright and favorable auspices. 1t is
in good financial condition and we'll
equipped for fighting the fiery ele-
ment, both as to the stalwart, willing
men of which it is composed and the
apparatus at its command. OF the fire.
Lnen little need be said. They are TOO
we'll known to require an extended
eulogy. The record they have made
in the past is sufficient testimony of
their worth and ability. During the
year just closed they have responded
frequently to the call of duty and at
the risk of their own safety. saved
many thousands of dollars worth of
property from destruction. Not enough
can be said of such heroism. Men who
will, without thought of recompense,
save the pleasure it affords them to
know that they have faithfully per-
formed their duties, voluntarily en-
dangered their lives by facing devour-
ing flames and falling walls are COM
posed of the metal of which true and
unselfish heroes are composed. 1t is of
such men that the Danville Fire De-
partment is made. They are willing,
capable and experienced, and they new
er finch or hesitate when their ser
vices are needed.

DEATH CAME
SUDDENLY

The announcement of the sudden
death of Newton Fl. Reifsnyder, a
we'll known citizen of this place, early
Saturday morning was a shock to his
hosts of friends. The tidipgs were the
more startling because of the fact that
ne had been seen on the streets the
previous day, apparently in his usual
health. He was found dead in bed at
the home Of Harry Fields, his partner
in the restaurant business. and with
whom he boarded. at 1888 Mill street.
During the early portion of Friday
evening. he had been up town.. He
returned to the house, and retired at
about 80. without having complain.
ed of feeling unwell. Between and
o'clock the following morning, Mrs.
Fields called him to breakfast. Get.
ting no reply after repeatedly rappipg
on the door, she entered the room and
found life extinct. A physician was
summoned, who after examining the
remains. said that Mr.. Reifsnyder had
been dead tor several hours. Death
was due to heart trouble. with which
the deceased had been afflicted for q
number of years. Mr.. Reifsnyder was
a moulder by trade, but last summer
he became engaged with Mr.. Fields In
the restaurant business. which was
still occupying his attention when the

Vicious Assault in Berwick.

AS the result of vicious attack
made by two men near the Malleable
Iron Plant, Alfred Bower lies at his
home on West Front street, Berwick,
in a very serious condition. There is
little doubt but that the object of the
assault was robbery.
Mr.. Bower. who Is a driver en-
plcyed by A. ]. Lynch, was driving on
Frease Avenue and had just turned in
to Oak street when one Of the ruffians
threw o club at him. The other man
followed this with a huge rock, both
missiles striking Bower and partially
dazing him. To prevent himself from
falling from the wagon he grasped the
shaft and trace. IN which position he
was further maltreated.
Before he could be removed from
the vehicle the horse took fright and
ran out Oak street, carrying the in.
jured man out Of reach of his assail.
ants. 1t was not until the horse had
run considerable distance that Mr..
Bower recovered sufficiently to handle
the reins. He managed to drive to the
office Of DR.. e. L. Davis where he re ".
ceived medical attention. His ear is
badly torn and laoerated, and the
whole upper part of his body is shock
ingly bruised. After removing him to
his home his shoulders, arms and bo dy
became partly 2aralyzed: so that it is
thought hts injuries are of a more ser.
ious nature than was at first expected.
The assailants are known to be Am.
ericans who no doubt made the attack
in the vicinity of the Malleable Iron
Works SO that the blame for the crime
would fall on the Italian element
residing in this district.

National Guard at Inauguration

The question whether the National
Guard of Pennsylvania shall attend
the Inauguration of President Roose-
velt in March is already exciting the
men and is the principal topic of dis
cussion at the armories. 1t is the in
tention of tne committee in charge to
make it the occasion of big military
display and no big military display is
complete without the Pennsylvania
troops.
1t has already been demonstrated
that an inaugural procession without
them is tame affair and so they want
the Keystone division. The rank and
file ard many of the officers are anx-
ious to go but there are Others not SO
anxious. 1t has become the fashion at
recent inaugurations to make all sorts
of charges against the Pennsylvania
troops and, though 80 per cent. of
these charges are either lies out OF the
committed by others than Pennsy!-
vanians, Pennsylvania has had to
stand tie brunt before the general
public, solely because it is fashionable
to make such charges. One Penusyl-
vania regiment, with headquarters not
1000 miles away from Williamsport,
was.oharged tour years ago with raid
ing store when.it proved that at the
hour the raid was alleged to have hap
pened tho regiment was III line and
.wo miles away from the spot 1t Is
many years siuce the Pennsylvania
troops have had fair and just treat
meut in Washington. II the Pennsyl-
vania troops go this Time an example
should be made OF the first person who
makes defamat1rv charges.

sible in the domain of the well groom
ed woman. Eternal vigilance here is
the price of neat, smart appearance.
There are lots of little first aids to
the injured" and invaluable wardrobe
labor savers known to the initiated.
For instance, the neat and careful girl
during a leisure hour runs ribbon in
her lingerie. Her ribbon box contains
the color Of ribbon she affects in three
widths. A bodkin is always threaded
in each piece ready to run through the
beading at a moments notice. Gloves
are overlooked after each wearing,
fcarefully mended if necessary smooth
ed out and put in a glove case between
sachets perfumed with d favorite pow
der.
1t is astonishing how few women put
on and take off a glove properly, yet
this has everything to do with it's wear
and appearance. TO learn the right
way watch an experienced salesWoman
while she tries a pair on customer.
Invariably she will push the glove on
the four fingers before putting it on the
thumb. When the glove is removed the
operation should begin at the wrist and
the glove be carefully turned backward

rule of the carefully shod woman is to
rest her shoes for day or SO and al
ways wear different pair indoors
Low shoes are better for house wear,
as they permit of ventilation. Select a
strong calfskin for a walking boot,
keep 1t well oiled, and your pedestrian
trips will be made in perfect comfort.
Keep an old pair of shoes to wear IN

ton to details than a dirty. bedraggled
skirt whose braid has begun to wear
Rip off the old protection and after
thoroughly airing the skirt brush it
with good, large sponge, which re-
moves the accumulation of dust much
more effectually than a broom. When
skirt is in almost constant use it
should be turned wrong side out once a
week, hung on line in the yard and
every germ removed by an energetic
beating. OF course silk lining will
not stand this sort Of treatment, and q
gentler method is required. When
ready for the closet hang on a hanger,
never by the loops found at the sides.

frills, is another object of careful So
licitude. II tissue paper is packed into
sleeves and shoulders there is no dan
ger of a crease settling in even the
daintiest creation. A good idea when
the collar and cuffs are Of perishable
material is to wrap soft paper around
! them. Silk covered hangers suspended
from the center of the wardrobe afford
a much better way of disposing Of the
waist than the drawer Of chiffonier.
