Flowers for the Holidays.

The fine green houses at Castle Grove
are now radiant with roses, carna-
tions and other treasured blooms in
season about the holidays. Heavy ship
ments are made daily to New York
and Philadelphia.
The green houses are source of
great delight to our townspeople, some
of whom may be seen at Castle Grove
every day. All are courteously re-
ceived by Mr.. Cotter, whose expert
ence and rare skill as fioriculturist
are so eloquently attested by the vari-
ed and abundant product of the green
houses.
eThe season of the chrysanthemum is
now over and the large house filled
with these blooming beauties a month
go is now bare and deserted spot.
Instead of the chrysanthemum, reign
carnations and roses along with the
delicate and fragrant mignonette.
There are variety of carnations and
they all are charming, but the beau
tiful Prosperity carnation, the
choice of the late John R. Bennett, is
easily queen of the whole collection.
The rosesIare blooming in all their
varieties-American Beauty, Brides
Roses, bridesmaids, Liberty, Killar-
ney and WELLESLEY. From the Office on
throughout the several large green
houses the air is redolent with the
odor of roses.

Use All rloney at Once.

Deputy Attorney General Fleitz has
advised Highway Commissioner Hunt
er that, in building roads with State
money, he need not confine himself to
using any one county's appropriation
for the year only The money appro-
priated by the Legislature was for a
period of four years, and Deputy
Fleitz says that to facilitate matters,
Commissioner Hunter may use a
county's entire appropriation at once,
in his discretion, but that he must al
low no county more than its pro rata
share of all of the money.
1t will be recalled that Dauphin
county lost its share because of OBJ
Jections to proposed improvements in
Swatara, Washington and Lower Pax
ton townships

National Guard and its Doings.

Two officers of the Twelfth Regi.
ment, Battalion Adjutant Duffield
and Lieutenant Baker, of Company
d, have been appointed privates on
the new State police force. Lieuten,
ant Baker will not accept but Lieu
tenant Duffield has gone to his troop
headquarters to report. This will
mean vacancy in the Office of bat
TALON adjutant since the two forces
are liable to be on duty at the same
time and for the additional reason
that it takes the officer not only out
of the bounds of his command but out
of his brigade.
In the election held in Company G
last week that company followed the
lead it made some time ago and went
outside of its own ranks to get the
man it wanted Lieutenant White has
taken hold as though he meant bust
ness.
-Four weeks from tonight the spring
inspections will begin with Company
d on the floor. No orders have as yet
been issued from Harrisburg nor has
it been announced what officer of the
army will make the inspection for the
War Department.
The Third Regiment, beginning
with January l, will pay it's members
fifty cents for each drill they attend
and impose fine of 81 for each drill
missed Settlement will be made
quarterly. The experiment will be
watched with interest.
An effort will be made to have Con
gress pass law regulating whof may
wear the army uniform or modifica-
tions of it. At present everv time a
change is made in the army uniform
corresponding change is made in vari-
Gus organizations and also in the ho-
tel bell boys and similar employees.
The next meeting of the National
Guard Association will be held in
Franklin.
Considerable satisfaction has been
expressed over the report that the
State will call in the present canvass
which never had anything
to recommend it except its cheapness,
and will issue the army kahki. The
army olive drab is far preferable but
until it can be drawn from the United
States government Pennsylvania will
not have it for the enlisted men.

Fountain Turned Off.

The water was turned off at the pub
lie fountain yesterday and from now
until spring it will be out of commits
sion.
The fountain has been a fine success
at its present location, accomplishing
in the fullest the noble mission that
the members of the w. G. 7. U. had
in view when they presented it to the
Borough. 1t was a favorite watering
place for horses and yesterday after
noon after the water was turned off
several teams were observed to turn in
toward the empty basin and horses
and driver alike seemed disappointed
to find the fountain dry.
The mild weather made it possible
to keep the water running much long
er than usual.this season. The excel
lent. drainage at the culvert did not
permit much water to accumulate Oh
the pavement, nevertheless during such
weather as yesterday the little that
fell was sure to CONCEAL and ice began
to accumulate rapidly about the foun'
lain.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS
OF NORTH'D COUNTY

The school directors of Northumber-
land county met in annual session in
court room number two, Sunbury.
Wednesday morning.
The meeting was called to order at
l0:30 O'Clock by H. P. Raup, of Tur-
botville, vice president of the associa-
tion. After the reading of the minutes
by Secretary HI. w. Armstrong, of Nc
Evansville, the election of officers was
called for, but it was decided this
should be done at the annual meeting
in January.
.. O. Fuller, of Lewis, the presi-
dent of the association, being absent
his address was necessarily omitted.
General business being in order the
time for the annual meeting was fixed
for the last Thursday in January, 1906.
j. b. McCloughan, of Rush, was
next called for on the subject "What
Effect Will Recent School Legislation
Have Upon the Directors. Mr.. Nc
Cloughan being unavoidably absent
the subject was discussed in general
by members present High school tut
tion and vaccination receiving the
most attention.
Prof. Preston w. Serach then de-
livered masterly address, beginning
by asserting his special interest in
Northumberland county as his father
was born in that county. He dwelt
especially on the country school, stat
ed there was nothing in the city school
could compare with the country school
II the latter was properly organized
the city gained much of its strength
from country acquisition self reliance
in the country school as compared with
the dependence pervading city school
pupils; if conditions of buildi ngs, sur
roundings and often teachers were the
same, country schools would be in
finitely- better than city schools teach
ers should be selected ON merit only
and not because of family influence or
similar circumstances directors should
perform the duties required without
fear or favor; good school houses
should be maintained and the director
should be the leader of public senti-
ment favorable to good buildings, good
teachers, salaries sufficient to induce
good men to enter the teachers profess
sion. Prof. Search delivered one of
the most practical, terse and pointed
addresses that has been heard in recent
years on a..similar occasion.
After some more remarks by the
members on the vaccination question
the roll was called and between so and
go were found present.

HARRY QUINN
found dead

Harry Quinn, an employe of Foust
Bros. was found dead at the Germania
Brewery Monday morning. :
The deceased had been employed at
the Brewery on and off for some years
and was well known about town. For
the use of the employees the proprietors
keep sleeping room furnished on one
of the upper floors of the Brewery.
This room for some time past has been
occupied by Quinn.
Monday morning when J. W..
Shut, another employe, appeared at
the Brewery about clock the deceas-
ed had not arisen. Mr. Shut went up
stairs to see what was OBTAINING the
man and found him still in bed. He
took hold of Quinn, shook him and
told him it was time to get up. The
man seemed so sound asleep that Shut
remarked:
"All right then; You can sleep
awhile longer" after which he went
down stairs.
A short time afterward another en-
ploye went up stairs and tried to
arouse Quinn. The discovery was
then made that the man was dead, al
though the body was still warm. DR..
Barber responded to a call, but of
course there was nothing that physi-
clan could do Death was undoubted-
ly due to heart failure.
Justice of the Peace w. V. Oglesby
took the matter up, but after visiting
the brewery and making an investiga.
tion he felt convinced that death was
due to natural causes and that an in.
quest was not necessary. The body
was removed to the undertaking es
tablishment of George w. Roat, wher,
it was held pending arrangements fol
burial.
The deceased was thirty-six years o.
age. His parents are dead, but he i:
survived by one brother James Quinn
whose whereabouts are not known, ant
two sisters, Miss Kate Quinn, and Dora
MRS. Weaver both of whom resid
in this.city.

rluSt Vote In February.

Deputy Attorney General Fleitz de.
cides, in an official opinion delivered
to State Commissioner Hunter that all
townships in Pennsylvania desiring to
receive Is per cent. of the amount of
their road tax from the State next
year must vote affirmatively on this
proposition at the coming February
election.
Mr.. Fleitz decides also that under
the general supervisors act, passed by
the last legislature, the supervisors
must serve without compensation, but
may be reimbursed for travelling ex-
penses that no supervisor can act as
road master, and that the act is gener-
al in its terms, applies to all second
class townships in the State, and all
local or special laws relating to the
election of supervisors or the manage
ment and control of township roads in
conflict with this act are repealed by
it.

BOROUGH COUNCIL
PAYS AWARDS

The Borough Council held special
meeting Saturday night for the pur-
pose of winding up proceedings rela-
tive to the claims presented by Marga-
ret Schuster and three other property
owners on Mill street for damages sus-
tanned by the change of grade when
the new pavement was laid on that
thoroughfare. President Gibson was
in the chair. Other members present
were: Reifsnyder, Vastine, Boyer,
Goeser Law, Dietz, tSweisfort, Ma
gill, Jacobs and Hughes.
The assessment of damages was made
last February, the following persons
being the viewers: George w. West,
J. H. Brugler, Samuel Werkhe iser,
Jno. W. Sweisfort, r. J. Pegg, and
o. B. Sweitzer.
Damages were assessed as follows
Margaret Schuster, $3.50; Frances
Hartman, $500; Joseph Sperring ct
al, $554; Mrs. Cousart estate, $l75.
Council excepted to the report OF
the viewers and proceeded to appeal.
1t looked for awhile as if the whole
matter would have to be settled in
Court Council finally agreed to pay
the amount of damages assessed, de-
Quoting what might be due for the
Borough for sidewalk and street paw
ing.
On this basis, it seems, settlement
was effected and the special meeting
of Council Saturday night was held
for the purpose of paying the awards.
In addition to paying the property
owners after making the proper de-
ductions, costs amounting to $3.50,
covering the fees of viewers, Sheriff,
&C., was ordered paid to Prothonotary

CKiCHesTER'S eNGLlSH
PENkYROYAL PILLS
New Siding Is Completed.

The new d. L. & w. siding at the
Salvation Army barrack was complet-
ed yesterday. The work was pushed
along very rapidly, considering the
fact that the switch was begun as late
I as last Wednesday, For the first few
days only the two crews of trackmen
were employed, whose sections meet
at this city, but later other crews were
gathered up along the line and brought
to the scene of operations, the number
of men at work yesterday being about
forty.
Coincident with the laying of the
track an immense amount of filling up
was done about the spot, the construct
ion train being employed, which
brought cinder here from other points.
The switch is not only ballasted upon
level with the main track, but all
the space between is filled up and
graded over. The switch will be avail
able for general use at almost any
time. The remodeling of the barracks
to make them suitable for stable and a
place for storing Pocono ice as con-
templated, is work that can be leis-
urely accomplished during the winter.

IN KEEPING WITH CHRISTMAS.

With prize turkey guarding ell
trance to the door and the interior
gaily decorated with holly and trail
ing pine the bowling alley in com
mon with other establishments about
town presents an aspect quite in keep
ing with the spirit of Christmas. A
wreath of holly is hanging at each
window in full view from the outside
while all about the chandeliers and
along the walls are graceful festoons
of trailing pine, which sets the inter
ioraoff in fine style.
