Death of Mrs. Hugh Pursel.

Mary A.. wife of Hugh Pursel, de-
parted this life at 4 o'clock Monday
afternoon after an illness of about four
years.
The deceased was 63 years, s months
and - days of age. During her entire
married life she resided in Danville
and was well known. She was a de-
voted wife and mother, a kind and
Sympathizing friend and neighbor. As
her children grew up around her and
learned to appreciate her love and
sacrifice she became an idol i'll their
hearts and now that the last sleep has
fallen upon her, along with the bereav-
ed husband and father they mourn as
only those can mourn who have lost a
loved aud loving member of a happy
household. A sympathiZing cOmmun-
ity shares their grief
The four years of illness abounded
i'll the keenest suffering. Several times
the deceased was nigh unto death, but
rallied only to grow worse again. Dur
ing the whole of two weeks preceding
death her condition was critical. Dur
ing the last couple of days the most of
the time she was only semi conscious.
For brief interval sometime before
her death she seemed perfectly ration
al and engaged i'll conversation with
those around her. She soon fell in
to state of coma, however, from
which she never emerged. Her end
was peaceful and painless. She simply
slept away.
The deceased was a member of st.
Paul's NJ. +. church Besides her
husband she is survived by three sons
and two daughters all of this city ::
William G. Pursel, Robert B. Pursel,
J. n Pursel, Mrs W. j. Williams

FOUGHT FIRE
WITH SAND
Building Saved by This Method
on FriCk Farm After Water
Supply Was Exhausted.

The handsome barn of William c.
Frick in Poplar Hills was destroyed
by fire last week Friday night. The
loss will reach -, 600 Mr. FIick be-
lieves the fire was the work of an in
cendiary, and has offered reward of
$500 for information that will lead to
the arrest and conviction of the guilty
party.
The burned structure was new
building and complete in every re-
spect This is the second barn Mr..
Frick has lost since he took possession
of the farm a little over year ago.
The other barn was not such an eX-
pensiye structure Its destruction was
also believed to be the work of an in
ceudiaTy.
Mr.. Frick and his brother returned
from the farm Friday after the fire.
When they reached home the watch
dog, which roams the farm at night,
was pacing back and forth in front of
the barn, barking furiously. All ef-
forts 20 quiet the animal failed. The
dog was finally chained but kept on
Larklug.
After putting the horse up Mr.. Frick
went into the house. He had not been
resting long before a man working on
the place rushed in crying that the
barn was on fire. \ bucket brigade
was formed and water was thrown on
the nearest building, which is the
brooding place After awhile the wat
er ran so low that the fire fighters were
compelled to abandon the use of water
and take sand. 1t was hard work, but
it saved the brooding building, in
which were thousands of little chicks
and oggs.-The Highlands, n j.. g.,

BaccaIaureate Sermon.

The baccalaureate sermon to the
graduating class of the high school
was preached by the Rev l.. ID. Vi
rich at Trinity Lutheran churchSunday
evening. Along with the class. the
faculty and the school board of Dan
vile were present, all occupying seats
that had been reserved in the front
part of the auditorium. There was "a
very large congregation present.
Clyde Davis, Miss Mae Dreifuss,
Fred Roberts and Miss Lydia Woods,
of the class of o. acted as UsheTs \
large pennant bearing the class cOlors,
pink and green, and on which was in
scribed the year of graduation, '06,
was spread upon the wall over the
pulpit The church was very tasteful
ly decorated about the altar, with
large palms, ferns and carnations.
As usual on such occasions much in
terest centered in the class, which was
composed of twenty seven persons,
thirteen boys and fourteen girls. The
young ladies, while not uniformly
dressed in white, were very tastefully
attired and presented very bright
and attractive appearance. The entire
class, boys and girls alike, wore the
class color in the form of pink rose.
The church was opened with the
regular service, after which special
music was rendered and the sermon
was preached. Rev l.. ID. Ulrich, the
pastor, took his text from Romans,
18th chapter, llth verse 4; Not slOth-
full in business; fervent in spirit, sery-
ing the Lord. -
The baccalaureate sermon was in
deed a sound and practical discourse
delivered in Mr. Ulrich's best vein
The discourse throughout was an APP
peal to the class, showing how relig-
ion and business should 90 hand in
hand-how, while "A person may be
concerned with the affairs of the
world, he may at the same time serve

CONFIRMATION
SERVICES

The rite of confirmation was admin
istered to a class Of nineteen by Rt.
Rev. James II. Darlington, d. ID. i,
Bishop of Harrisburg, at Christ Epis-
copal church Tuesday. \ large con
gregation was present.
There was evensOng at Z 80 after
which followed confirmation, which
in turn was followed with a sermon
by the Bishop.
Bishop Darlington is a forceful.
eloquent and logical speaker. He took
as his text Colossians, lis: THE
Church His Body.
He dwelt upon the uniform methods
employed by some of the churches to
bring the people to God which seem
to have adults particularly in view,
the revival services being shaped to
accommodate grown up persons The
old way of the church, he said, is to
take up the child-train it in the way
it should go, so that when it is old it
will not depart from it. He invoked
the blessing of God on all methods Of
evangelization, whether adults or chill
dren are sought, but he insisted that
the regular, the easiest and the best
right and keep it right People say
the Episcopal church is the easiest
church to join and the Bishop assert
ed that such is the case. He dwelt up
on the simple requirements needed and
said that the church presumes that the
child is Gods child.
Bishop Darlington does not believe
in death bed conversions and he ex-
pressed himself in positive terms. He
does not doubt that instantaneous con-
versions have occurred, but they did
not take place on the death bed, when
physical and mental powers are wan
ing-when the body is racked by pain
and the intellect is clOuded by drugs.
In the matter of service he does not
believe in the mere meeting house"
idea, where in seeking heaven only
such help can come as men and wo-
men receive from each other. He COM
mended the churchly idea. The church
is heaven seeking men-the one society
founded by God. The higher can reach
the lower, but the lower can not reach
the higher
He deplored the tendency Of the age
to sneer at the bible-to question its
divinity. 1t came down from heaven
as the church has done.
The church stands for a divine day
Under the pretense of making all days
holy men succeed in making undOly
things seem holy. The church has a
divine ministry-a ministry which
represents God, not the people.
The churchs idea is not the idea of
sacrifice but of sacrament. The idea
is not to give up everything that makes
life beautiful. God does not believe
i'll suffering, but in good news Sacrl-
flee will not avail; no man can save
himself. Christ must be our great
sacrifice

SPIRITUAlISM.
Its Manifestations ns Viewed by the
World of Science.

Spiritualism is the successor of the
medieval occultism and Of the older
magic. Today science, without accept
ing its manifestations, studies them,
and in these troubled waters almost
all the facts upon which the new meta
physics is founded have been fished
up. Like magnetism, it has drawn the
attention of physicians to the phenOm-
ena Of induced sleep and has given
many Of the data for the study Of hyp-
nOSiS ana suggestion. The mediums,
who believe, like the ancient python
esscs, that they are possessed by for
eign spirits. have served for the study
of the change of personality and telep-
athy. And it has shown that the prod
igies, diabolic and divine, recorded In
all early religions were not SO fabu-
lous as the critical fancied At all
events science admits that there is a
force-call it psychic as Crookes does,
neuric with Baretz, vital with Bara-
due or the odic force of Reichenbrach
"a force which can be measured and
described, which leaves its mark on
the Photographic plate, which emanates
from every living being, which acts at
distance, which saves or destroys.
Plato knew 1t. Great wizards like Car
dan made use of it. The charlatans
like Cagliostro blundered upon it. The
scientists have the last word-Every.

Shooting Within
THE BOROUGH
A Dangerous Diversion
That Has Gotten Boys
Into Trouble.

During the last two days two boys
have been obliged to pay fine of five
dollars and costs for shooting within
the borough.
This is a nuisance that goes on
pretty much all the time in some form
or other despite the watchfulness of
the police. The principal offenders are
half grown boys armed with air guns
or fiObeTt rifles, more frequently, the
latter or some other gun equally as
dangerous. These are mostly the worst
and most reckless set of boys, who
give their parents any amount OF trOu-
Bile and prove Il nuisance TO others.
There are good many buildings
situated in proximity to the stamping
grounds Of these irresponsible shoot
ers that bear evidence of their reck-
lesSuess in the form of window glass
perforated or broken by the rifle balls.
The meadow along Mohoning creek is
a favorite resort and the employees at
Keim : brick yard often hear the bull
let's whizzing by in dangerous proXim-
ity.
Things have reached "A crisis and the
two arrests noted above have fol-
lowed with the hope that the example

on West Nahoning street the other day
came near losing his life, the ball
piercing his hat, and causing a scalp
wound on the pof his head. Accord
ing to the stories told the police some
of the boys who carry guns show little

were shot full of holes as a diversion.
The boy who received the scalp wound,
it is alleged. was ordered by the eX-
pert marksman to throw his lat up in
TO the air as a target, which the hoy
refused TO do.
Section 3 OF the borough ordinance
on 'nuisances' is very clear on the
subject 1t states that it shall not be
lawful for any person or persons to
wautouly discharge fire arms of any
kind within the limits of the borough
of Dauville There Is penalty of five
dollars imposed for each and every of
