COMPANY F
BEGINS DRILLS

There has been but little doin'
among the Guardsmen since returning
from the National enoampment in July
but they are now getting ready for a
strenuous winters work. The first
drill Of the season will be held on
Thursday evening.
The coming winter is going to leave
the National Guardsmen little time
for play. In the first place the boys
have never yet attained perfection In
drills under the change in drill regula-
tions. The change was made late last
spring, and owing to the work that
was required to get ready for enoamp.
ment it was impossible to give much
attention to drills during the summer.
The inspection at camp was not of q
sort to reveal wherein the Guardsmen
fell short of what was required under
the new regulations. But the spring
inspection will be rigid enough to
bring out all imperfections and II the
members of Company F, of the 12th,
want to make a showing that is half
creditable they will have to attend
drills regularly.
In order that the new work may be
mastered Colonel Clement has deter
mined that drills must be attended
regularly by all the members of the
different Companies. In order to bring
about perfect attendance court. martial
may be resorted to as is now done with
excellent results in other regiments of
the Guard. 1t is at least safe to pre-
| dict that hereafter absentees without
cause will be severely dealt with.
The members of Company F have
abandoned hopes of securing State
Armory for Danville at any time in
the near future. 1t is thought that
Milton will be one of the first to come
in for an srmory under the new Act.
However, Danville's claims are not
neglected and Captain j. Beaver Gear
hart of Company f, at the present
time is in correspondence with the
recently appointed Armory Board rela-
tive to the matter.

STATE POLICE
Two Hundred and Twenty-Five
Men and Officers.

Governor Pennyacker is said to be
taking special interest in the organiza
tion OF the new state police force.
Under the law the force will consist
of 225 policemen and officers and Cap-
tain John O. Grcome, of Philadelphia,
who has been appointed at its head,
and who has just returned from Ire
land. where he has been inspecting the
royal oonstabulary, one of the most
efficient bodies of the kind in its ply
sioal prowess, has promised that the
Pennsylvania force shall be recruited
among the most reputable and CON-
petent men that can be obtained for
the service.
The duties of the state constabulary
will bear pretty much the same rela-
tion to the commonwealth that the
duties of policemen and detectives do
to a city. They will particularly en-
force the state laws that hitherto have
been difficult to execute, cooperate
with local officers when necessary,
protect country roads and put down
the kinds of disorder or tumult which
the militia has usually been summon.
ed to suppress when local authority
has been powerless.
1t is thought that with such sys.
tenn it will not be necessary hereafter
to employ private bodies of men like
the 'coal and iron police" for the pro-
lection of property against mobs, al.
though it is doubtful whether the new
constabulary will be large enough, as
now constituted. to deal with some of
the emergencies which arise in the
coal mining districts and other in
dustrial regions. But SO far as it may
tend to put an end to the practice
under which police Iower in tho
hands of armed men is exercised priv.
ately, it is thought by many to be a
step in the right direction.

OVER ROUTE
B. s. N. ROAD
Financiers Viewed Route of Ber-
wick s. Nanticeke Road.


In company with Charles W. Miller,
president Of the Berwick Il Nanticoke
Electric Railroad, we'll known Phila-
delphia trolley fnanciers went over
part of the route of the Berwick g.
Nantiooke Electric Railroad with an
idea of determining upon the construc-
tion of the road.
Particular attention was paid to that
part Of the road which will be built
in Berwick. West Berwick, Briar Greek
and Salem. the purpose being, stated
Mr.. Miller. to Rive that section the
best possible trolley accommodate ions,
working rs they will in conjunction
with the Columbia & Montour Com
pany. who will also extend their lines
In that section.
Mr.. Miller stated that the outlook is
now bright for the early financing Of
the road. but he stated that those who
had PLACED their money in the enter.
prise did not yet care to have it known
who would back the enterprise.
His attention was called yesterday
to a story emanating from Wilkes
Barre to the effect that the company
proposed building tho road with a
third rail system, with the plant of
the company at Berwick, and further
stating that Wilkes Barre capitalists
were largely interested therein. In re-
ply he stated that no third rail system
was considered. d.-Bloomsburg Press.

Commander James Tanner.

James Tanner, new commander in
chief of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, is one Of the most energetic veter-
ans of the civil war, despite the fact
that he lost both legs at the second
battle of Bull Run. Born OH a farm
in Schoharie county. N. Y, sixty one
years ago, Mr.. Tanner enlisted in the
Federal army at the age of seventeen
the first year of the civil war, and
participated in the battles of Williams
burg. Fair Oaks, Yorktown, the seven
days fight before Richmond, Bristow
Station and Manassas junction. In
August, 1862, he was so badly wounded
that both of his legs were amput tated
below the Snee. He was taken prison.
er in that condition, but was exchang.
ed in few days. After the war he
was admitted to the bar and held sew
eral state or government positions. the
principal one being that of pension
commissioner, which he administered
from March 1889, to October of the
same year. After leaving the pensio on
Office he devoted fifteen years to prao.
ticing law and working for more lib
eral pension for old soldiers. In April,
1904, he was appointed register of wills
of the District of Columbia by Presi.
dent Roosevelt.
Since 1867 Corporal Tanner has been
an active member of the G. A. r. In
thirty years he has not missed ma
tional encampment and as a member
of the orders national committee on
pensions he secured the passage of
laws raising the pensions of all federal
soldiers who had lost both arms or
legs or both eyes from $72 to 500 per
month. For years MIR. Tanner has
been poor sleeper, and he rarely goes
to bed before 1 o clock. for the reason
that he has incessant pain in his two
amputated legs. During his years of
work for men who wore the blue he
has done what he could for those who
wore the gray. He materially assisted
in raising funds for soldiers home
for ex. .Confederates in Richmond, Va. :,
and at one meeting in Brooklyn pro-
cured 81 900.

Coffee Consumption In U. S.

The monthly Summary OF Commerce
and Finance contains most exhaustive
history of the culture. production and
consumption of the coffee berry TIL
roughout the world This is followed
by like histories of tea and oaoao Ex-
perienoed writer's have contributed to
this work; and there seems to be moth
ing wanting in the historical review
or in the voluminous statistics that
accompany it. For its preparation
much credit is due to Mr.. o. p. Aus.
tin. the able statistician at the head of
the bureau.
But we have room here only for a
brief notice of the coffee trade and
consumption of the United States. In
1904. the latest date to which these
statistics are brought down, the total
consumption of coffee by the Ameri.
can people amounted to $50. 879, 600
pounds. or nearly two-fifths of the
worlds production for that year. To
this consumption Brazil alone oontri-
puooo I'll, 100 100 pouuus VI tho Ndtuo
of $4S, ,OS2.22 The Republics of Col.
ombia, Venezula aud Mexico together
supplied 159. 445, 1853 pounds, valued
at $l2. 25l, ,27l. This leaves not quite
40, 900. 600 pounds as the contribution of
Asia. Africa and other regions. Much
is said Tin grocers' advertisements) of
the great consumption of Mocha and
Java in the United States. But a re.
ference to the returns of trade shows
that in 1904 the total importation of
coffee from the Dutch East Indies
amounted to only ,730. 352 pounds. A
little more, amounting to 1867, 500
pounds, drifted in from Amsterdam.
This would hardly leave many berries
of the savory Java coffee to each in
habitant of the United States. Much
that goes for Java comes from other
countries than the Dutch East Indies.
AS for the Arabian berry, the Mocha.
the returns of trade do not give evil
dence of its importation. Not much Of
1T in fact, gets beyond Oonstantinople.
This exhibit shows that If the coffee
supply of Brazil should give out the
deprivation would be seriously felt by
the consumers in the United States.
While the per capita consumption of
the United Kingdom in 1904 was only
.67 of pound, that of this country was
1l.75 pounds. But the production of
the strong, dark "Rio" of Brazil ap.
pears to keep steady pace with the
worlds growing demand.

TRAINING Dogs
FOR HUNTING,

A. E. Seidel, of Derry township, has
adopted vocation, which while
probably not without a parallel, yet
borders on the unique. Mr.. Seidel's
business is that of training hunting
dogs and he is succeeding admirably.
AS might be implied, Mr.. Seidel trains
pointers and settlers to become useful
in the pursuit of game by developing
in them that instinct " hioh causes the
dog in the first instance to stop at the
scent of game and with it, nose to
point 1t out to the sportsman and in
the second instance to indicate the
whereabouts of the wild fowl by az.
suming fixed position, either by
standing. sitting or croucIing.
The business must be a most diff
cult one, requiring not only patience
but natural ability of very high
order coupled with profound know
ledge OF dogs in general. At the same
time 1t should be noted that the dogs
entrusted to Mr.. Seidel are the most
finely bred in the world, hailing from
all parts of Pennsylvania and even
from Ohio and other neighboring
States. Included in the lot being train
ed at present is dog belonging to A.
j. Oassatt. President of the Penusyl-
Nah'h Rdiirodu Oompauy, Wn1cn 16
valued at $4,000. During nearly the
entire summer Mr.. Seidel had some 25
dogs under his care.
The place where this training is In
progress is on the Washingtonville
road. adjoining the we'll known st.
Clair farm. The visitor to the premises
may be surprised to hear a perfect
chorus of barking in the direction of
the barn, indicating the presence of
dogs galore. An investigation will
show that there are no cattle, at least
to speak of, in the big barn. but that
the stalls are filed with dogs of sever.
al kinds.
In training his dogs Mr.. Seidel has
the privilege of using some four hun
dIed acres of land embracing his own
place and adjoining tracts. He has
been quite busy for four months past,
but now that the hunting season Is ap.
proaching he is getting ready to ship
the dogs back to their owners.
Mr.. Seidel has twelve years exper-
ience and is very widely known as q
dog fanoier and trainer and not only
are the most valuable dogs in the coun.
try entrusted to his care, but the fees
that he receives are in many instances
something to be proud of.

DANVILLE DEFEATED
BY BERWICK.

The game Of base ball at Berwick on
Saturday was feast of base hits in
which Berwick excelled. and oonseuu-
emily smothered our aggregation of
ball tossers to the tune of 10 to 4.
McOloud was on the slab for Dam
Vile and that he remained there for
nine innings was no fault of the A. o.
q +. boys for they waded right into
him from the start aud when the dust
had settled at the close of the first in
ming the score showed four runs and
four hits on the Berwick page of the
official score book, and one of the hits
was semi circler by Smith. The
fusillade was continuous throughout
the game as Berwick failed in only
one inning to hit safely. McOloud had
it about right after the game when he

Now as to Sweeney the tenth man,
known usually as the umpire. In Sat-

for him to display his ability as a

Illegal Fishing at Muncy Dam.

Fishermen from this place, says the
Watsontown Record and Star. who
have visited Munoy Dam, say that a
very large number of fish are being
caught under size. One man boasted
of catching sixty bass in one day and
tie great majority Of them were under
legal size-seven inches The legal
size for salmon and pike is nine
inches. The catching of under. sized
bass goes on every year at Munoy Dam
and it is time some of the game and
fish wardens or constables get busy.

Cider Mill
' IS CROWDED

The older making season is now at
its height and . visit to Hoover Bros
modern hydraulic press proves very in
teresting and shows that this firm Is
having fair share Of the business.
Tie season opened some three weeks
ago. Hoover Bros. have not been kept
~ busy % during some former seasons
owing to the partial failure of the ap-
pie crop. just at present the farmers
are picking their apple and the best
use that can be made of the oulls and
those blown from the trees by the
wind is to make cider of them. just
now, therefore. the time is we'll oc-
cupied at the cider press and yesterday
there was scarcely an hour when two
or three loaded wagons were not
q waiting their turn. The maximum
daily product of Hoover Bros press is
some 8, 800 gallons. Three thousand
gallons or even less is considered q
good days work.
The apples seen at the press yester-
day were large and luscious revealing
no signs of inferiority. A popularity
of the yield this year seems to be that
one orchard produces we'll, while the
one on the farm adjoining or those on
several farms near bear only partial
crop or have no apples at all. Never
theless in the aggregate large quaint
ity of apples will be thrown upon the
market. When the crop is large one
enormous quantities of apples go to
waste, Allowing for shortage this
year should apples be properly taken
care Of the crop will probably be large
enough to satisfy all demand.
