Quiet Picnic rIuch Enjoy ed.

The deaf mutes of Montour, North
umberland and several adjoining
counties in this district held their an
nual meeting and picnic at Edgewood
Park, Shamokin, Saturday. Although
somewhat handicapped they played
their games and made merry with as
great, if not greater, enjoyment than
their more fortunate brethren. Their
base ball game was rs violently con-
tested as any in the old High Hat
League, and if the umpire was not so
loudly abused by void of mouth, EN-.
phatic and significant gestures by the
crowd showed the unfortunate official
just as strongly that he could expect
an immediate and violent death if his
decisions didn't straightway improve.
An interesting program was render
cd. Speeches were made in the mute
sign language on various subjects,
which were fully comprehended and
enjoyed by the large crowd. The most
important speech was made by the
Rev. Smileau, of Williamsport, spec
ial missionary of the Harrisburg dio-
cese of the Protestant Episcopal
church. He himself is deaf mute and
thus comes in more intimate and sym
pathetic contact with those similarly
afflicted than would be possible other
wise.
At the business meeting it was de-
cided to hold the outing at Edgewood
Park again next year.

GIVE THE BOYS
A CHANCE

A number of Danville school boys
are spending their vacation days in
factories or stores and it will do them
no harm. There is danger accom-
panying the work, however, RESPONSE
bility being both with parents and
boys, probably more so with the former
since they have control of tine situa-
tion. 1t is the danger of. the boys be-
ing allowed to remain out of school
when the fall term starts, the pleas
ure of wage earning overcoming their
desire to complete an education, or in
the case of poor people the benefits
derived being such as to tempt them
to keep the boys steadily at work.
The few paltry dollars to be earned
now must be steadfastly overlooked
in view of future utility of the boy
who succeeds in getting even High
school education. The question of col
lege is another consideration. All boys
should have the advantage of at least
the learning they can get in High
school and if the parents can not send
them to college the boys should be un-
impeded and will make their own way
if endowed with the right spirit.
Ere this even college men have been
found driving grocery wagons and it
is not hard to find the reason. Usual
ly the one who gets an education and
then makes no profitable use of it is
the drifter who possibly got through
college only because of financial back
ing.
If the boy has scintilla of evidence
of brains give him the best possible
education. He will be better work
man if he takes up even the most
simple form of labor. He will even in
such position find things in life that
his unlettered companion can not see
or enjoy.

Affairs at Exchange.

Hon. l.. w. Welliver of Exchange
drove down to this city yesterday and
spent several hours very pleasantly
chatting with friends at the county
seat.
Mr.. Welliver says that David Nc
Carty of McKee's Heights who cut his
foot so badly a couple of week S ago,
it is feared, will lose the use of that
member. 1t will be recalled that Mr..
McCarty was battling with hornet s
nest and stepped backward into the
cradle scythe. Before he could extri-
cate his foot, which was fast between
the scythe and the first finger of the
cradle, the muscle or tendon was sew
cred.
Mr. Welliver also reports that the
foundation for the new bank is now
ready for the wall and that stone and
brick are both on the ground.
The other new buildings at Ex-
change, in number, are very rapidly
approaching completion. Each of the
dwellings is very fine structure and
will be quite an ornament to the
place. The owners of the new build
ings are Thomas Sharon, John Ritter
and John Dennen.

BITTEN BY SNAKE
BADLY POISONED

While employed with n gang of
workmen Tuesday afternoon at 80
O'Clock just above the Pennsy bridge
at Mainville, William Davis, well
known track foreman of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, was attacked and bit
ten on the arm by a huge copper head
snake, and yesterday had a very bad
arm which has swollen to three times
its natural size.
Davis was cutting brush near the
bridge when the snake was encounter
ed among the grass, and before he
could get out of danger the snake
jumped and sank its fangs into his
arm just above the wrist. The arm
Immediately became sore and began
to swell. Davis was at once driven to
Catawissa but before physician
could give treatment the arm was in
very bad condition.
The snake was killed by the other
workman and was found to measure
Just 3 feet inches in length

SEWAGE IN WATER
SUPPLY OF CITY

That the existing epidemic of ty-
phoid fever in Harrisburg may possi-
bly, be due to bacilli contained in the
water furnished the city has been call
edlto the attention of the sanitary
committee of Councils through corre-
spondence between State Health Com
missioner Samuel G.. Dixon and
Chairman Edward II. Schell, of the
committee.
Naturally the city officials are very
much exercised over the suggestion
that sewage may be communicating the
drinking water of the city and very
thorough investigation has been set on
foot.
In the meantime the warning of DR..
Dixon that the water should be boiled
is urged upon the people by the local
officials.

Pared Corn, Death Followed.

Culting her corns with razor about
six weeks ago, and from which gan
CREME set in, resulted in the death yes
terday morning at the private hospital
of DIR. Thomas at Scranton, of-Mrs
Margaret Oliver, of Berwick.
AS was reported at the time gan
creme set in and amputation of her
foot had to be resorted to, she being
taken to the hospital to have the
operation performed. The foot was
taken off and later it was necessary to
also amputate her limb.
At first it was thought she would
recover but few days ago she began
to fail and death relieved her suffer-
ings yesterday morning.
Mrs. Oliver was aged about So years
and is survived by four sons.

keep THE
CUTTERS CLEAN

The down pour of rain, Monday,
along with the several heavy showers
that preceded it., served to reveal the
bad condition of many of the cutters
about town, which resulted in the
water pouring over the sidewalks and
draining into tho cellars Tuesday a
short stroll i'll any part of town show
ed where the water had done damage,
washing the sidewalk or depositing
mud upon it.
Some excuse is found in the fact
that the frequent and heavy rains
just now occurring are unprecedented
and that the cutters, so frequently
overfiowing, would prove adequate for
normal conditions. At the same time
the fact remains that many of the gut
ters are half filled with a deposit of
ground in addition to which there is
a growth of weeds, that helps to OBJ
struct the passage of water. The un-
sightliness of the thing would be bad
enough, even if it did not cause trouble
Ill tlmeS OF neaVy rain.
Upon whom the duty devolves of
keeping the cutters. open and clean is
a question concerning which there
seems to be difference of opinion. The
orough ordinance on cutters unfortu-
nately is not very specific The nearest
it comes to settling the question is in
section 3, when it states that it
shall be the duty of the owner or own
ers of all lots within the limits of the
borough of Danville in front of which
pavements, footwalks and cutters have
keep the same in good repair at any
and all times.
The construction placed upon the
ordinance by the borough has always
been to the effect that excepting the
cutters in good repair ''is to preserve
them in such form that they will prop
erly perform their function and that
this clearly implies keeping the gut
ters clean and preventing the growth
of weeds The matter, however, has
never been put to issue and so it hap
pens that many persons are looking to
the borough to clean the cutters and
the latter in turn is looking to the
property owners or occupants to at
tend to that duty.
What helps to create confusion is
the fact that the street commissioner
at intervals is observed to clean out
cutters, here and there about town,
hauling away the accumulation. The
borough authorities explain this ac-
tion by stating that the conditions re-
lating to those places are wholly
anomalous and that in those cases any
thing the property owner or occupant
could do unaided by the borough
would not bring about proper results.
Bad condition of the streets is often
responsible for clogged up and insight
ly cutters, while there are other in
stances when the borough considers it
it's duty to step in and take hold of
| the work as when damage is caused
by rains that cause a great deal of
washing.

CONTINUING THE FIGHT.

The commercial travellers and Others
who have been fighting for the two
cents-a-mile rate on the railroads in
this State will not lay down their
arms because the Pennsylvania rail
road has made concession and will,
after September /, sell tickets at the
rate of two and one-h half cents a mile.
Mr.. S. M. Williams, who is secretary
of the State Board of Trade and of
the Homeless Twenty-siX, believes
that both organizations would be fool
ish to drop the fight when the politi-
cal parties have embodied passenger
rate plank in their platforms. The
State Board of Trade is sending let
ters to candidates for the Legislature,
asking for a declaration on the subject
of a two cent fare and freight carry
ing by trolleys, and the majority of
replies are in favor of such legisla-
tion.

MEMBERSHIP CON-
TEST At Y. M. c. A.

General Secretary George II. Bern
hard has inaugurated membership con
test at the Y. NJ. @. A. which will no
doubt add large number of young
men to the fold and increase the funds
A meeting of the membership of the
association will be held in the audit
orium on September 3rd. An effort
will be made to bring out every men,
Der, as without full representation
full measure of success in the contest
will be impossible.
AT the meeting Walter Lovett and
Joseph Divel will be chosen captains
the former to represent the red"
and the latter the "blue'. The two
captains will choose sides, selecting
one at a time, alternately, from the
entire membership until none are left
in the hall. Walter Lovett with his
men will retire to the parlor, while
Joseph Divel with his workers will
remain in the hall Each of the lead
ers or captains then will proceed to in.
struct his men in the best method of
winning members according to his own
ideas. The contest will close on Sept
ember 10Th. In the interim the men,
bership resolving itself into body of
workers will be proceeding along we'll
defined lines in Jealous effort to
bring every young man in Danville in
to the folds of the Y M. @. A.
1t is not supposed that such keen
rivalry will exist in the work without
awakening deep interest throughout
town. In order that the public may be
kept enlightened as to progress attain
ed an arrangement is being made to
have different colored lights displayed
in front of the building, red light
indicating that Mr.. Lovett's side is
ahead and a blue light that Mr.. Divel
S in the ascendency.
On September 18th the result of the
contest will be made known and the
captain of the winning side will re-
ceive prize. This meeting within a
week will be followed by banquet
given by the ladies auxiliary, to which
the entire association, old and new
members, will be invited. On the oc-
casion there will be an address from n
noted speaker and music from first
class orchestra, both of which are vet
to be selected.
The coin cards sent out by the gen
eral secretary some weeks ago in an
effort to raise funds for the association
are not returning as fast as was ex-
pected. The board OF directors as we'll
as the general secretary are not at all
encouraged and do not know whether
to attribute the slow response to mere
neglect or to a general lack of interest
in the Y. Nj @. A. aud disposition
not to contribute to its support. Those
who desire to assist the association
will confer a favor by returning the
coin cards without delay.

MAI. GENERAL GOBLIN
TALKS ON ARMORY

Major General J. p. S. Goblin, while
in this CITY Tuesday in a conversation
with Captain J. B. Gearhart gave
some valuable pointers as to how the
town might proceed with advantage
if it desires to obtain an armory.
In the first place it may not be gen
orally known that the allowance due
next year will build some 25 or 30 ar
mories in the State. The fact was
made pretty clear by General Goblin
that if Danville fails to get one of
these handsome buildings it will be
largely through its own Indifference.
As first step it was recommended
that the town secure suitable site,
which free of cost can be presented to
the State. The site, which should
be at least sixty-six by a hundred
feet, need by no means be the most
cured the site the next step advisable
is to go before the armory commission
with substantial proof that a suitable
site has been secured-that the town
is willing to assist to that extent in
order to obtain an armory. 1t is true,
it was not the intent in framing the
law that the town or city should fur.
nish the site, but the fact remains
that in those cases where armories
have thus far been located the towns
or cities have given the ground. En-
terprise and civic pride should prompt
citizens to make the small sacrifice
needed to secure building of so much
Importance free, one that will repre-.
sent such an expenditure of money and
stand as an ornament to the town.
If our citizens will hustle little and
secure the ground General Goblin
stated he did not see why Danville
should not be one of the towns that
would secure an armory next year.
The armories may be built of brick
or stone, which ever is the most easily
and cheaply obtained in the locality.
Provision must be madef for quarter
masters apartment, with lockers for
officers and men, reading and loung-
ing room, library, lavatory and bath
room, which may contain shower bath
and swimming pool, also drill shed
occupying the rear. There is no fixed
style of architecture and the building
may be safely left in the hands of any
local architect of reputation
