Should Isolate Contagion.

THE money saving alone makes it
common sense for the householder to
Immediately have a case of commune
able disease properly isolated" said
State Health Commissioner Samuel G.
Dixon Saturday in discussing ways in
which people can protect themselves
against disease.
IF case of scarlet fever, for in
stance, is Immediately isolated in a
room as remote as possible from other
occupied rooms in the house." con-
tinued DR.. Dixon, "the chances of the
other members of the household es-
Gaping the infection are manifoldly
of the parents duty to safeguard the
lives of their other children and their
neighbors children, think of the actu-
al economy there is in the taking of a
little simple precautiOn at the outset.
I'm addition to isolating the case,
there should be hung over the door of
the sick room, and it requires little
trouble and expense to do it, a sheet
kept moist with a disinfecting solu-
tion. This solution may be prepared
by dissolving eight bichloride of mer-
curry tablets in one gallon Of hot wat
er. 1t should be noted that this is
poisonous.
'It will be readily appreciated that
by cOnfining the infection to one room
the expense of disinfection and GestIuc-
tion of infected articles that under
other circumstances it might seem best
to sacrifice, would be materially de-
creased. The room chosen for the con-
fnement of the scarlet fever patient
will. of course, have been stripped of
curtains and upholstery and all other
furniture not necessary for the COM
fort of the occupants.
AS a money saving proposition,
therefore, don lose a moment in ad-
equately isolating a case Of scarlet
fever, diphtheria or other communic-
able disease and keep it isolated.

Wall street or that portion of it
leading from the d. L. q W. railroad
TO the four cemeteries on the hill is in
a notoriously bad condition and those
who travel it with funerals find cause
for a great deal of complaint.
That portion of Wall street was
never in a worse condition than yes
terday. The mud, it is true, is not
deep, but the street is badly washed
and large stones protrude from the
ground, causing vehicles to jolt badly
and making it difficult for the horses
to drag heavy load up the hill.
The street lying as it does on a hill
side should receive especial care IN
order to keep it in good condition.
The principal neglect seems to lie in
the cutters along side the street, which
are not properly constructed, even if
they are kept open, and whenever it
rains the water runs down the middle
of the street carrying away the mat
erial of which the street is con
structed and leaving the big stones ex-
posed.
Surely none will dispute that Wall
street, which is the only way of reach
ing the four cemeteries from town, is
important enough to be kept in the
very best of repair. It's present condi-
tion is a grave reflection on the bor-
ough Of Danville, within whose CON
fines the road is located. Obviously.
whatever methods have been employ
ed to carry off the water have failed
and council should give the matter
special attention and after fixing up
the street to make travel easy should
devise some method of drainage that
would be effectual in carrying of the
water. Whatever is done should be
done Immediately, as it would be too
bad if the street should be permitted
to lie in its present condition all win

Holiday Shoppers Out En- rlasse.

People of Danville this year decided
to act upon good ad 7ice and they ac-
cordingly started out early to make
their purchases for Christmas. Any
one who observed our streets Saturday
must have been keenly alive to that
fact
Throughout the afternoon the stores
were we'll filled, but it was during the
evening that the holiday shoppers were
out en- masse and the clerks scarcely
found breathing spell. BY O'Clock
here and there along Mill street the
windows revealed large gaps where at
tractive articles had been sold and re-
moved The windows generally were
1eplenished in short meter by the en-
terprisin3 proprietor and fresh attrac
tions brought new customers. Thread
ing their way homewaTd through the
throug could be seen the satisfied pur-
chasers, loaded down with packages
galore, among which very often were
seen a diminutive Wheelbarrow for
the boy and doll coach, if not the doll
itself, for the girl.
Holiday shopping will be distribut-
ed through the entire week, culminat-
ing in a rush ON Saturday night, which
in turn Will be followed with final
wind-up on next Monday night.
Danville merchants deserve credit
for the enterprise they have shown. 1t
can be said for them that the windows
here show up better than in any of our
neighboring towns, while the prices
are more popular. Obviously any one
who leaves Danville to purchase
Christmas presents elsewhere will be
the loser.

PeddIer Didn't Need License.

The supreme court of the United
States Monday reversed the decision
of the superior court of Pennsylvania
in the case of n. /. Rearick against
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
involving an ordinance of the town Of
Sunbury, requiring cauvassers for the
sale of merchandise to take out IL
ceuse.
Rearick was representative OF an
Ohio broom manufacturer, and was ar
rested and fined $25 for the violation
of the State regulations. The higher
State courts upheld the proceeding,
but Mondays action over ruled it on
the ground that ReaIick was engaged
in interstate commerce which was not
within the jurisdiction IF State auth
critics
"The brooms, said Justice Holmes,
who delivered the opinion "were
specifically appropriated to specific
contracts, in a practical if not in
technical sense. Under such circumst-
ances it is plain that wherever might
have been their title the transport Of
the brooms for the filling the con.
tracts was protected commerce. y

SCENE OF DISORDER
AT STREET. CORNER

The third ward in the vicinity of
the armory was the scene of good bit
of disorder Saturday, in which the dis
turbing element were some forty boys,
who succeeded in making it miserable
for Bloch and Benzbach aud managed
to elude the police, whenever the lat
ter appeared, so that the ball went on
merrily pretty nearly all day.
Bloch & Benzbach. who are engag-
ed in taking an inventory found it al
most impossible TO proceed with work.
There was a perfect bedlam outside
and at times it seemed that a surging
warfare was in progress, the shout and
yells. indicating challenge and def
ance, being varied with the sound of
broken glass as stones were hurled
through the windows of the upper
stories.
Such conduct is a disgrace to any
town that makes pretense of keeping
things decent and orderly. Probably
the police will find some way of get
ting hold of the ring leaders, which
will have a good effect on the rest.
The corner at Bloch & Benzbach's has
been popular loafing place for long
time, but it is only within a recent
period that things have become quite
so bad
Corner loafing is a nuisance any
where and when tolerated only for a
little while it is pretty certain to de-
velop into disorder. Men who would
be above any unseemly conduct on the
street often fall into the habit of tarry-
ing little too long on the street cor
ners and thus unConsCiOusly become
factors in bringing about the cOndi-
tions complained of. The only way to
keep down disorder on the streets is
to keep the corners perfectly clear. 1t
is very hard probably to draw the line
between the inoffending sensitive
young man and another class in whose
favor nothing can be said, but the cor
ners can be kept clear. The sensitive
well-meaning man when told to "move
on, " on second thought Will smother
his pride and make the best of it,
while the other class are entitled to no

The allied efforts of the Sabbath OBJ

DECISION THAT
AFFECTS DANVILLE

a decision has been handed down by
the supreme court of the United States
that in its principle. affects a case now
pending in this county, between the
borough of Danville and the ID. l.. &
W. railway, as we'll every municip-
ality in the country where railroad
operates.
The railroad commissioners of the
State of Mississippi undertook to COM
pei the Illinois Central to stop certain
through trains at the town of Magno-
liza, which has about 1900 inhabitants.
The court held that the railroad COM
mission had not the power to disrupt
the schedules of the railroad and thus
prevent the railroad from complying
with the contract for the expeditions
movement of the United States mails
The principle involved Is of import
ance because it discloses one of the
means that the d. l.. & W. may use to
Justify the ignoring of the Danville
borough ordnance.
A State court has also taken a sim
liar view in a recent decision, which
was handed down before the United
States supreme court passed upon the
subject Iu Westmoreland county,
Pennsylvania. the court of common
pleas, has held that the borough of
Suteryille had no right to enforce an
ordinance restricting the speed of a
through train to ten miles an tour
within the borough. Interference with
carrying the United States mails be-
ing one of the grounds on which the
opinion is based.

First Pay Since Shut Down.

The employees of the Reading Iron
works on Saturday received their first
pay since the shutdown, last June.
The pay represented nine turns and
while less than the usual full two
weeks pay, along with what was paid
out at the other plants, it brought
about something like return Of the
very good times of the past, when all
our industries were booming.
The next pay at the Reading Iron
works will not be until the Saturday
before New Years, which will be for
two weeks and will therefore be larg-
er than the last pay. The employees of
the other plants that have been run
ming steadily will be better suited as
relates to Christmas money. But very
little time was lost during those
weeks, the pay for which comes due
just before Christmas, and at most of
the plants that pay next Saturday the
amount of money paid out will reach
the maximum.

JURYMEN ARE
Being NOTIFIED

Sheriff George Maiers i sending cut
notices to the citizens of the county
who have been drawn as jurors to
serve at the next term of court, which
will convene ON January l4th.
The hour Of meeting, 10 a. m, is
definitely stated but the sheriff is won
dering whether a few Of the Jurors
will not be tempted to presume upon
the courts clemency and in order to
suit their convenience delay their ar
rival into town until later hour. All
such, the sheriff thinks, should take
warning from Judge Evans action in
Columbia county, where at last court
all jurors not present when the roll
was called were fined one days pay.
1t is not clear to some people why
we have court both in January and in
February This is accounted for by the
fact that the coming court up to the
present year was always held in Dec
ember. 1t generally conhicted with
the holiday festivities and for this
reason the court last year, in response
TO a petition, made an order changing
il as above described.
Several important cases will come
up for trial at the next term. which,
it is believed, will clean up things
pretty well and probably leave no
business for the February term.
A very important and interesting
case that will come up for trial will
be that of Clarence Carr the boy who
is accused of pushing little George
Fausnaught into the old soaking pit
at the Bessemer steel plant and of
thereby causing his death. Clarence
has been in Jail since the 10Th of July
last and is general favorite not only
with the prisoners but also with the
sheriff's family. He is a beautiful
singer and his sweet and childish tones
beguile many an hour about the
gloomy prison. which otherwise would
hang very heavily on the hands of
those incarcerated

Bill to Pension Old Teachers.

Details of the bill to pension public
schools teachers III Pennsylvania who
have served 80 years, twenty in this
State, were made public last week by
Frederick E. Downee, superintendent
of the Harrisburg schools, member
of the committee appointed by the
State teachers association TO take
charge of the movement.
This bill will be presented in the
next legislature, aud special effort
will be made by the committee to OBJ
tain its passage early in the session.
The measure provides that teachers,
principals, supervisors and superin-
tendents of public schools who have
served not less than thirty years, TWEEN
ty in Pennsylvania, may be retired
with an annuity equal to one half the
average salary received in the five
years in Pennsylvania preceding re-
tirement. The annuity shall not be
less than $500 nor more than 5000.
The board by which the applicant is
employed shall certify the length of
service to the superintendent of pub.
lie instruction. If a penisoner be re-
the annuity shall cease, to
be restored when the unemployment
ceases.
The bill provides further that all
annuities be paid out by the State
treasury warrant drawn by the super
intendent of public instruction, who
is directed to set apart out of the gen.
eral school appropriation sum suffici
ent to carry ont the provisions of the
act. \ census is now being made of
the teachers who will be affected by
the proposed act
