Will be in Use Saturday.

Pursuant to the action of Council
City Clerk Patton yesterday placed an
order for one dozen garbage cans with
a Philadelphia firm. The cans are eX-
pacted to arrive in few days and
will no doubt be installed by Saturday
night.
1t is very essential that the public
should understand fully to what uses
the garbage cans are to be put. 1t Is
not the intention that they are to be-
come receptacles for any OF the waste
and offall left over from the curb
stone market, which is gathered up
and hauled away by men especially
employed for that task. They are 10
be used for other articles OF diverse
sorts such as circulars, newspapers,
wrappers, peanut shells, banana peels,
&c which scattered about. help to
make the streets look very untidy. 1t
has been observed that even when the
paved street has been thoroughly clean
ed on Saturday evening by Sunday
morning it presents a very dirty ap-
prarence due TO the thong ughtlessness of
people in throwing everything they
want to get rid of out upon the street.
1t is necessary that people educate
themselves up to the use of the garbage
can, as they will be given no choice
III the matter and will be compelled to
make use of them as directed. i he
law recently enacted by the Legi islat-
ure imposes a penalty for throwing
articles of the sort enumerated above
upon the street. Even nails, screw
and the like, which often injure horses
feet, come in under the act and must
be kept off the street.
While enforcing the act the Borougi
| is not Obliged to procure garbage cans
| the measure has been merely adopted
/ by Council in order to bring about
/ habits of tidincss among tie people
and assist in the observance OF the
/ law

School Athletics.

The subject of school athletics is at
tracting much attention of late, both
in Pennsylvania aud New York, since
it has been found that the health of
the public school children in cities is
defective far beyond anything the in
spectors had anticipated. Much of this
weakness is traced to lack of fresh air
and facilities for active exercise, and
so pressing is the need for improving
the physical development of the pupils
that in New York a Public School
nent business men to interest the boys
in athletics.
So successful was this league that
Just the other day the Board OF Esti-
mates authorized $500, 600 for the pur
chase of athletic fields for school boys.
More than 30. 600 boys have entered
this year in the preliminary rounds of
the Spring contests, and as no pupil Is
allowed to compete unless he Is up to
the standard in conduct and studies,
the moral aud intellectual good effect
o. school athletics is quite as marked
as the physical.
Recently at the Friends yearly meet
ing in Philadelphia, this question was
widely discussed. President Swain,
OF Swarthmore College, was most en-
phatic in MS favor of sports, declaring
Every boy and girl must have the
playground. Experience of twenty five
years with the young convinces me
that the athletic field is a necessity y
Another speaker stated that fifty per
cent. of all bank clerks die of oOnsump-
tion before middle age because the
majority Of them have failed to build
up their bodies by athletic exercise n
youth.
Few, nowadays, decry the expense
of providing means to insure this
huIlding up of the body. Frequently,
opportunities for exercise are furnish
ed by public p'ayprouuds, which are
increasing both in n4uber and favor,
bat IT Is especially essential that each

PAVEMENT AT
THE COURT HOUSE

The matter of sidewalk repairs at
the Court House was taken up at the
meeting of the County Commissioners
on Saturday. Repairs will have to be
made to conform with the relocation
OF the curb as has been required all
along Mill street and the work will
have to be done promptly, too, il any
effort l. to be- made to comply with
the order sent out by the Borough
Council that pavements be repaired
before the Fourth of July.
No definite action was taken by the
County Commissioners. Many persons
think thare should he a concrete pave
ment in front of the Court House, along
with massive concrete steps leading to
the entrance. Since general tearing
up is necessary there seems to be no
reason why the work should not be
done rightly and improvements install
cd that will add to the appearance of
| the building. The Court House arChi-
tecturally is really fine building and
! claim is made that it is worthy of a
| better pavement than the wholly out
of-date patchwork of flagstones which
covers tha sidewalk at present.
The expense of concrete work would
| be materially reduced by the proceeds
realized from the sale of the flag
stones and the stones used in the con
struction Of tie steps at present, the
last named especially being valuable.

PHU.A u READING R. R.
ELECTRICAL DISPLAY
FOR JULY FOURTH

There is a sentiment abroad, IN
which one or more of the Uouncllmen
share, that the Borough should take
some part in the preparations for the
demonstration on Fourth of July.
This, it is held, is eminently proper,
as the generally accepted idea Is that
the demonstration Is gotten up as much
to signalize the completion of municl-
pal improvements As to celebrate the
Fourth of July.
No lavish expenditure of publi c
money is required The Borough in
owning its own electric light plant is
very fortunately situated and could
contribute a very novel and striking
feature to the days decorations with
comparatively small cost 1t Is sug
gested that the Borough make an cleo
trical display. An arch or structure
of some other sort erected at the canal
culvert, Mill street, and decorated with
the stars and stripes and vari-colored
electric light bulbs seems to meet the
popular idea. This would be especial
ly fitting, as the electric light employ
ed would come from the Borough s
own plant, one of the municipal i'm
provements being celebrated in the
day demonstration.
OF the various structures that might
suggest themselves the arch would
probably be the most appropriate for
the spot. 1t is recalled that the ma
terial used in the arch erected by the
Friendship Fire Company in one OF
Danville's big days of the past was
carefully stored away by the owners
with a view of finding use for it agai Il
in the future The Friendship Fire
Company is always progressive and
full of public spirit aud there Is no
doubt but that an arrangement could
be effected whereby the Borough would
be permitted to use the arch, which
cOu Id be very easily reconstructed.
1t is hoped that our Borough Faith
ers will take kindly TO the suggestion
and see their way clear to thus assist
in the decorations. Whatever is done,
however, will have to be done quick
ly, as barely two weeks intervene be.

IRON MOULDERS
ANNUAL PICNIC

The picnic season was opened Sat
urday by the annual outing Of the Iron
Moulders' Union of Danville and fate
had decreed that the first picnic of
the season in point of attendance,

of harmless enjoyment should be a
well rounded and unqualified success.

The day was quite warm. which made
the cool breezes which at all times
play through the Park all the more en-
joyable. The entire day, although there
were fully eight hundred persons on
! the grounds, was marked with the
utter absence of accident or occur
renee of any sort to mar the pleasure.
The local lodge of moulders, some
seventy strong, headed by the Wash
ingtOn drum corps, about 10 80 O'Clock
marched to the park in a body. a
! general invitation had been rendered to
! the public and the crowd soon follow
! ed. About noon the Park presented a
pretty scene. Each family with speci-
al friends invited, or two or more
! families grouped together occupied the
! innumerable tables scattered about the
grove. Ii was evident from the
scores of we'll filled baskets taken tC
the Park and by the time spent around
the tables that dinner was by no means
the least important feature of the day.
In the afternoon dancing began,
which continued until late Saturday
evening, the Iron Moulders and thaiI
friends being the first to enjoy the
large dancing pavilion. In addition tC
the dancing the swings and Other
similar devices for entertaining the
younger element were kept moving
| Next to dancing, however, the merry
go-round was the attraction and 1T
capacity, big as it is, was sorely take
to accommodate the waiting crowd.
