Saloons Forty Years Ago.

The excavation for the sewer now
dug as far as Northum berland street
shows that all that part of the town
rests upon made gronnd which forms
a deposit of to 10 feet deep. AS the
original surface is laid bare many
memories of the past are feawakened
in the minds of the older people, re-
lating to the days before that portion
of the town was filled up to it's pres
ent level
Former Councilman Jam3s f. Dough-
erty. whose father was landlord of
the Dougherty House. now Hotel Peif-
er, in 1857, has lived in that part of
town practically all his fife aud has
witnessed all the ohanges that have
occurred
Standing by the new Sc wer and al

Mr.. Dougherty pointed out the sites
of the various land marks as he knew
them when a boy. Each of the land
marks was a saloon and it is worthy
of note that there were just six of
them on Northumberland street be.
tween Mill street and W. il. Gouger's
Ware House. distance of some sixty
yards.
This was prior to 1863 and Mr..
Dougherty says that at that time there
were just 124 licensed places in Dan
vile. The six saloons as Mr.. Dough.
erty recalls them along with their
proprietors were as follows:
Mr. Dougherty's stand-James Ro.
land.
Site of Mr.. Gouger's warehouse
Andrew Foley.
AT rear end of the Dougherty lot,
opposite Gouger s." Poet" Oonnolley,
who had talent for poetry and COM
posed some verses which made a hit
during one of the strikes.
Frank CochelIe's stand-John Ham
ilton-a prize fighter, who f1ourished
under the name of John Halpon. He
gave up saloon keeping and with an
other Danville man went to Australia
where he expected TO win distinction
in the prize ring. He never became
known to fame. He was heard from
only once and that was to the effect
that he was numerically whipped.
Where Dr. Thompson's stable stands
a saloon was kept by James Oonnsg
han, who is Kindly remembered by the
old timers who worked at the Big
Mill
Where J. B. Ceaver's store stands
there was saloon in the basement
with the entrance on the Northumber-
land street side. Here drink was dis.
pensed by Andrew Belden, who kept
a dance hall up stairs.
The thirsty individual in those days
was not obliged to go very far in or
der to refresh himself In the case of
the six saloons on Northumberland
street they were mostly next door or
opposite each other, which was pretty
crowded quarters even for town OF
this size that had l24 licensed places.
The Dougherty House, Spruce and
Mill streets. was built by Charles
Dougherty in 1854 and was popular
and widely known hostelry. p. O.
Dougherty, father of James F., took
possession of the place in 1859 and re-
manned in charge till 1866. He was
succeeded by Barney Dougherty, who
became County Treasurer of Montour
and who in turn was followed by
James +. DouRherty.

San Francisco Climate.

In San Francisco they are telling a
story that is worth repetition, and
will be appreciated by those who
have encountered the climate of the
Golden Gate city. An Irishman
came to America to- visit. He was
a true son Of Erin, with an Irish
mans appreciation of all things beat
tiful.
He went to, San Francisco. for a
sightseeing trip, and while strolling
through the city with a: friend, ex-
claimed: What foine trees! So
green! What makes it?"
@Clinaate,' answered the friend,
briefly.
A little later he cried out:
"Arrah, the cqtnplexions of your
ladies'! So beautiful! What -.
Climate" interrupted the fciend.
The Irishman subsided for awhile.
Now, San Francisco isn't exactly
q prairie, and not many moments
passing until the two encountered
one of the small mountains they call
knolls out there.
"8egorra,H said the visitor, "and
how dye think Oo'm to get up that?"
Climb it" said the friend.
The Irishman stopped and looked
at his companion. The devil you
say? Seems to me everything is
climate out here"

A bad egg isn't all that it is

The derrick isn't handsome, but
it has an uplifting influence. ~'
It is sometimes the absence of
dough that makes a fellow crusty.
The beauty about failing is that
you don't have to respond to en-
