EDWARD RUPP'S
TINY LOCOMOTIVE

There is OIL exhibition in the wind
ow of Moore's hardware store minla-
ture locomotive and tender built by
Edward Rupp, son of our townsman,
Harmon Rupp, East Front street, that
is a wonder of mechanical skill and
painstaking workmanship.
The locomotive was built by Mr..
Rupp when he was in the employ of
the Baldwin locomotive Works, of
Philadelphia, several years ago lie
was at the time highly cOmplImented
by his employers, and the mechanism
has since been the subject of much
favorable criticism from mechanical
experts Mr.. Rupp at present is in
the employ of the Vulcan Iron Works,
Wilke es Barre.
The locomotive is 20 inches long
and inches high. the tender is 10 in
ches long and inches high. Is is a
model of the Pennsylvania passenger
engine, number SSS. The patterns for
the different parts were all made by
Mr.. Rupp, who also made the castings
and assembled the parts.
The extreme wonder of the locomo-
tive is the attention that Mr. Rupp
has paid to small details-each and
every part that appeared on p. r. r.
locomotive number 8S8 is reproduced
in the miniature counterpart.

BIG CROWD
WITNESSED GAME

The game of base ball at Dewitt's
Park on Tuesday afternoon proved to
be one of the most important features
of the day. The Danville A. A. had
for their opponents the sturdy Spring
field team, of Shamokin, and battle
royal was expected.
The crowd began to gather two
hours before the game and long before
the first ball was pitched the grand
stand was filled TO its full capacity,
fully one half the seats being occu-
pied by ladies 1t was the largest crowd
that ever attended game at the park,
and the enthusiasm ran high, The
Wis itors had a great many friends on
the grounds who oheered each good
play vigorously OF course the local
fans were all on hand roofing for the
home team, and each side tried to
outdo the other in the matter of cheer
ing McOloud was in the box for
Danville and Skoskie for the visitors.
the ninth inning followed only two
hits. In the ninth however, after two
man were out the locals, by a misIlay
allowed man to get on first. This
was followed by hit, and with men
on first and second Bingham caught
one just at his liking and by a bean
tiful line drive placed it in the wheat
field above the park for home run
with two runners ahead of him. These
three runs were not enough to even
tie the score. The locals had. at va
rious times during the game placed
seven runs to their credit. which lead
proved enough to decide the game as
the next batter went out on high
fly to Edgar
The visitors appeared in beautiful
new uniforms of grey and blue and
as they passed through the park they
were very much admired. The
final score was Danville Z, Spring
field 5.
The home team will leave on Fri
! day morning for Burnham, where they
will play two games with the strong
team of that place. As the Blooms
burg challenge for a series of five
| games has been accepted by the local
management there will probably be
some warm games in the near future.

A VOMAN'S
TERRIBLE FALL

Mrs Zerfing, of Sunbury. who is
visiting her daughter, Mrs George A.
Rossman on Pine street, met with a
terrible fall yesterday afternoon, but
escaped with but slight injuries.
The Rossman home is being re-
modelled and the Iear part of til Q
house just now is i'll al unfinished
state There is a porch on level
with the second story. The railing
guarding the outer edge had been re-
moved and loose scantling had been
made to do duty in its stead.
Mrs. Zerfing was standing on the
porch and unaware of the insecure
nature of the support undertook TO lean
against the railing. In an instant
she went over back ward falling to
the ground below distance of some
fifteen feet
In falling she missed striking a rain
barrel by only a hairbreadth and
what was still more fortunate landed
in grape vine which broke her fall
and caused her to land on her feet.
Mrs. ZeIhng bruised her shoulder
pretty badly and was considerably
the worse for the shock. but no bones
were broken. It was thought last
evening that her injuries are very
slight and she was resting easily.

The Patriots of Peace.

Remember what Sherman said about
war? 1t also applies to Independence
day and the popping, roaring, crack
ing, whooping, exploding that drives
folk almost to insanity and means that
we are a nation OF patriots and are so
glad of it that every year we burn
tons of powder and MAIN, mutilate
and cripple between 1000 and 1000
human beings-mostly boys
And the popular idea of patriotism
is war. We are glad we fought or
that our ancestors fought. and the
hair bristles on the back of our necks,
and we feel. by hokey. that we can
fight again and that the foreigners
from London Town TO Vladivostok
had better keep off the toes of your
Uncle Sam. Huh
All right. The navy is growing
and We are spending millions for tar
get practice and more millions for
great guns. But let's hope hard that
there will never be another war, and
that widows and orphans will never
again be made in strife with other
nations or at home God grant it, is
the prayer of the millions.
A patriot isn't necessarily a soldier.
A man doesn't have to storm fort to
prove that he loves his country. That
kind of bravery is fine 1t gets into
the papers and there is thrill OF
pride even in the later days when
flowers are strewn on graves and wom
en- in black weep.
But don't you forget that there ale
more patriots today than ever before.
There are millions of them. They are
behind counters and in shops they
are running locomotives and tilling
farms. They are not thinking much
about war. They have no hatred in
their hearts.
And how is it that they are patriots
Because they are trying to do thei
duty as American citizens. That is
how.
They toll till their backs are stoop-
ed and their hands gnarled and knot
ted. They rear homes and honor good
women. They bring up children and
educate them. They do not hesitate
to deny themselves to the end that
those who come after them shall find
greater opportunity and till better
place in the affairs of the world than
did their parents.
They are the fathers and mothers OF
progress. They are the bone and
blood and sinew that make the nation
strong. They are the living opponents
of charity, decenoy, energy and hum
an love, and they are stronger than
the com bine6 armies and navies of the
world
And so. while the explosions in
memory of &c shake the earth, be
glad that you are a worthy member of
that great army-The Patriots OF
Peace.
God guide them all.
