9odality Reception.

\ SOdality reception was held at
St. Hubert's Catholic church, Sunday
night, which had many pleasant fea-
lures and was on the whole one of the
most interesting events that has taken
place at that house for worship for
some time.
Twelve new members We're received
into the Sodality. The services were
conducted by Rev. Father Foin, assist
ed by Rev. Father Feeser of the Holy
Family Convent Father Foin preach
Blessed Virgin. -
During the services the new SOdal-
ity banner was blessed by the priests.
The banner is an especially rich and
beautiful one imported from France
by the Sodality. 1t is of silk mOire,
four feet by six feet, the body being
pure white trimmed with gold. On
one side is the medallion of the Nir-
gin Mary and on the other side one OF
st. Aloysius, the patron Saint of the
Sodality.
The decorations ON the interior of
st. Hubert church will not be wholly
completed for several days. Gas light,
which has done service for so many
years is being replaced by electric
light. The effect of the new light on
the brilliant decorations is very fine.

POLICEMEN AS
POLE INSPECTORS

The two policemen ofi.the Borough
are engaged in making their semi-an-
nual inspection Of the electric light,
telephone and other poles in the Bor-
ough to determine how many may be
yielding to decay and unfit to remain
i'll service during the winter.
Poles have become "A very important
factor i'll the Borough Asked to guess
the total number that line our streets
and alleys very few persons would 90
as high as Il thousand, yet this is said
to be the probable number of poles all
told. There are no less than nine cor
porations maintaining poles in Dan
vile.
Decay is constantly in progress and
the total danger to which citizens
would be exposed from falling poles
would be considerable were not pre-
caution employed.
The Borough Ordinance provides
that it shall be the duty of the Chief
of.Police once in every six months to
make thorough inspection Of all tele-
graph, telephone and other poles with
i'll the limits of the Borough If any
are found defective or unsafe the own
ers are to be Informed of the fact and
they must replace them with safe and
suitable poles within forty-ei ght
hours. For neglect penalty of five
dollars is attached.
The two officers have been seen me-
andering up and down the avenues of
the Borough for several days past
armed with a stout cudgel in the form
of a heavy sledge hammer handle in
the further end Of which is inserted a
long pointed spike. 1t is this odd look
ing implement that enables them to
do satisfactory work i'll inspecting the
poles.
The officers state that a good deal of
experience is necessary TO make a good
inspection. The weak point Of pole
is apt to be found under ground at
spot Immediately below the surface.
1t is here that the handle and the long
pointed spike come into play. With
nothing else could they so well pene- /
trate the ground and determine wheth-
er.the pole under the fsurface is solid
or fast yielding to decay, The work Of
course is tedious and slow but the
officerslhave.co gthe greater part
of the Borough.
In nearly every thoroughfare poles
are found that are unsafe. The system
of marking and numbering insisted
upon by the Borough enables the Off
GERS at a glance to tell to which cor
poration the condemned pole belongs
and record is made accordingly.

district continues his activity as a

DanvilIe Has y Hotels.

Next Wednesday, December 27th, is
the last day on which application can
be made for license. License court will
be held on January 10Th.
The matter of liquor licenses is al
ways one to which considerable in
terest attaches. Up to the present moth
ing has occurred to show that there
will be any new applications this
year In this connection it may be put
down as morally certain that all those
at present holding licenses will apply
for renewals. So far as known there
i'll be no remonstrances.
Danville, with its population OF some
9, 900. has twenty seven hotels. Ac-
cOrding to this it should be rare oc
casion indeed when our town has
more people within its gates than it
can take care of. Twenty seven is the
numbar Of licensed drinking places in
Danville and they are all down as ho-
tells, as coming fully up to the require
ments as such.
Washingtonville has two hotels. In
the county there are thirty-six licens-
ed houses. In addition there is one dis
tillery, two breweries and two whole
sale liquor dealers.
1t is not known as yet whether His
Honor Judge Little or Judge Staples
of Monroe county, who sat during last
term, will preside at the license court.
