WEATHER ON ST.
PAqRICK's DAY

st. Patrick's day, Saturday, which
according to tradition should have
been accompanied with stormy wealth
er, brought us clear skies and sunshine
although the snow was nearly foot
deep and mercury was down below
freezing. During the night it became
very nearly as cold as at any time dur
ing the winter, the Thermometer reg
istering degrees above zero. This is
little remarkable in view of the fact
that the advent of spring is only two
days distant and that on st. Patrick S
day year ago mercury stood at 60 de-
grees during the afternoon, the wealth
er being so warm as to make the shady
side of the streets desirable, especially
to those who wore heavy overcoats.
While in the cities and in the larger
towns the memory of st. Patrick was
honored with song and toast and ad-
dresses from men in all walks of life, in
Danville the day was observed only in
the very quietest manner. Every loyal
Celt in honor of the patron Saint of
Erin wore upon his person emerald
green, either boutonniere or bow of
green ribbon on the lapel of his coat.
The very best of order during the day
and in the evening prevailed upon the
streets
For several years past st. Patrick S
day has been observed in Danville in
the same quiet unostentatious manner
that marked the observance Saturday.
There has been an absence of elaborate
functions, of addresses and the like,
but the bit of emerald green was al
ways in evidence, wherever there were
true Irishmen indicating that deep in
the heart was a patriotic feeling, a
fond memory of the Emerald Isle,
which during all the years of their So
journ here was still fervent and un-
dimmed

PLANT TREES.

Every property owner in the city
who has yard or piece of ground, if
not already planted with tree or
trees, to afford shade, shelter and beauty
on the street as we'll as to inmates of
the house, should bear in mind that
the season is at hand for the planting,
and if an order has not been sent to
nurseryman or tree agent, it should be
attended to at once. The sooner tree
or hardy shrub is transplanted, when
the ground is in order, the better.
Nothing adds more to the value of a
home and property than well-grown
trees, and the cost and care are trifl-
ing. While the main object of Arbor
Day is to educate and encourage the
planting and care of trees, to impress
the necessity from many standpoints
of tree culture, there have not been the
results yet attained that are desired,
though considerable progress has been
made within couple Of years in for
est reservations by the State and ma
tional governments. 1t is not the tree
planting so much that is needed in
some sections, as the preservation of
the young as we'll as the old growth.

FARMER finds
A FORTUNE

The Shamokin Leader" is RESPONSE
BILE for the following story of the find
ing of small fortune by an Elysburg
farmer:
Less than month ago Mrs. William
Shuman died at her home on a small
farm about four miles from Elysburg,
along the Little Mountain. Her hus-
band being her only survivor decided
to offer all the household goods for
sale and seek home elsewhere.
Recently Mr.. Shuman was engaged
in taking up the carpets and gather
ing together all the old pots and fur
niture about the premises. While en-
gagged in removing the carpet in what
had been their bedroom he was sur
prised to find large roll of bills of
various denominations. He continued
his search throughout the house and
in all hooks and corners, old pots and
old kettles, in fact in every out of the
way place, he found sums of money,
amounting in all, it is stated on good
authority, to about So, 900.
1t was known for some years that
the deceased had been very close in
financial matters but it was never i'm
agined that she stored away that
amount of capital. In fact, it was sup
posed that they were very poor as they
resided on farm of but fifteen acres,
rented from neighbor, they having
rented their own farm The husband
was regular attendant at the Sha-
mokin market, carrying eggs and pro-
duce in large baskets. Naturally he
was very jubilant over the finding OF
the money. The sale at the house will
take place and it is natural that
there will be large number of eager
bidders for the furniture and other
household articles, with hope of buy
ing something with a bonanza in it.

AMERICAN RECKLEssNEss

The Americans are regarded as the
most extravagant people in the world
and some of their wasteful capers
would appear to justify that imputa-
tion. Think of any German, French
or English railroad company taking
thousands of their wooden cars and
making confagration of them as the
PenDsy is doing with that kind of it's
rolling stock in vast bonfire near
Harrisburg. They are too economical
for such extravaganza, and even if they
no longer needed the cars they would
arrange some plan to put them to use
as firewood. For that purpose the
wooden cars which the Pennsy is con-
fiagrating would be worth thousands of
dollars. 1t is probably because the
Americans are supplied with such a
superabundance of everything that
they are SO reckless in their wasteful-
ness

THOMAS SANDERS
Heard PRuM

Former Post Commander William
NJ. Heddens has received letter from
Thomas Sanders, the oldest member OF
Goodrich Post No. %, G. A. R., who
at present is an inmate of the Nation
al Military Home at Montgomery
county, Ohio.
Thomas Sanders, who is in his eighty
seventh year, went to Dayton less than
year ago. He is pretty we'll pleased
with. the great military home, but has
been sick nearly all the time since his
arrival there. At the time of his writ
ing he was confined in the hospital.
He says he has written number of
letters east since being in the home,
but Comrade Heddens was the only one
who had sent a reply. He was delight
ed to hear from Danville.
There are provisions for about seven
thousand soldiers at the home. About
1900. Mr.. Sanders, says, are in camp
at the present time about l, 400 are
absent on furlough. There are 300 in
the hospital and the deaths daily num-
Der 6 or Z.
Mr.. Sanders is looking forward to a
visit to his old home in May, but at
present he is barely able to walk ow-
ing to swollen feet. He finds every
thing very pleasant and cleanly. The
bedding, he says, is as white as snow.
Even the floors, are so scrupulously
clean that one could rub white hand
kerchief over them without soiling it,.
The food, too, is all that could be de-
sired
Mr.. Sanders says he has just receiv-
ed his "new clothes and adds: They
fit like button. l now look like an
old soldier once more. 1t makes me
feel proud-if 1 only felt well enough
to enjoy them.
In conclusion he repeats the request
that his friends in Danville write him
oftener, and adds with ring of pathos
Don't forget that l may not be here
long

A genuine surprise party was ten
dered Mrs. John Poeth, Friday night,

invaded the pleasant home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Poeth, ON Cooper street and took
possession almost before the hostess
realized what was transpiring. Mr..
and Mrs. Poeth who have resided in
this city for seven years, will take up
their residence in Lewisburg about
April first, and their many friends and
neighbors in Danville regret very much
their departure.
The evening was spent in social
way, and one very enjoyable feature
was the sumptuous spread prepared by
the ladies, which was enjoyed by ev-
erybody present. The success of the
affair was due to the efforts of Mrs
John Hartzell who arranged every de-
tail without the least suspicion on the
part of the hostess, and perfect sur
prise was the result. Tokens OF re-
membrance were presented to Mrs.
Poeth by the guests.
Those present were: Mr.. and Mrs.

Roosevelt VIII Attend.

President Roosevelt will personally
participate in the dedication of the
new Pennsylvania State Capitol, at
Harrisburg, Thursday, October 4th.
The President himself selected the
date, the courtesy of so doing having
been left to him by the dedication COM
mission in order that nothing should
stand in the way of his coming.
Although the dedication commission
has not been formally notified, an AS
sociated Press dispatch from Washing
ton tells of the official announcement
there of the Presidents acceptance of
the invitation to come to Harrisburg,
and that Octboer has been named as
the day.
The formal invitation to President
Roosevelt was extended several weeks
ago.
The members of the dedication com.
mittee are Governor Pennypacker, Sen.
ator William G. Sproul, of Chester
Senator John E. Fox, of Harrisburg
and Speaker Henry F. Walton, of Phil
adelphia.
| Details of the dedication are not ar.
ranged. The Legislature has appropri
ated $50, 900 to defray expenses. This
insures an elaborate ceremony. One OF
the features will be big parade OF
the National Guard of Pennsylvania,
reviewed by the President and Cover
nor Pennypacker. There will probably
also be public reception to the Presi
| dent.

A Change of Agents.

The Adams express office, which for
30 many years has been maintained in
connection with Grone's book store,
will be removed from that establish
ment into entirely separate quarters in
the building No. l22 Mill street, re-
Gently vacated by Johnson's millinery
and owned by w. G. Williams.
This change of course implies that
the express business as well as the
office passes out of the hands of Mr..
Grone, who will continue to push his
book and stationery business at the
present stand The removal of the
Office is in line with policy recently
adopted by the Adams Express com
pany, which calls for general remov-
al of offices from stores and other bust
ness establishments into separate quart
ers.
Who the agent will be that will have
charge of the Adams Express business
after the removal could not be learned
yesterday. Mr.. Grope does not see fit
to abandon his. store and yesterday
morning he declined the agency. 1t is
intimated by the.company that after
the change two wagons will be put in.
to commission, one of which will be
driven by the agent and that clerk,
probably lady, will be employed il
the office Such at least is the plar
adopted in those towns where the offices
are already removed to separate quart
ers.
The Adams Express Company is evid
emily after more business but whether
the departure inaugurated will brinl
about larger returns remains to b.
seen

Less rloney for Judge Each Day,

The job of President Judge for this
judicial district for the remaining
months of this year becomes less and
less lucrative as the days pass. The
position, day in and day out, is worth
about $13.7 10 day, the salary for the
year being So, 900. Should the appoint
ment be made today the salary would
be about $3sS less than if the appoint
ment had been made on the second of
the month when rumors were first rife
that the appointment was likely to be
made at any time.

INDUSTRIAL PEACE.

While the outlook at this moment is
ominous of serious trouble between
the miners and their employers in both
the bituminous and the anthracite re-
gion, there is still hope for peaceful
settlement. John Mitchell, the leader
of the miners, understands the grave
consequences of strike and is doing
all he can to promote peaceful coun-
sells. He is not ready to surrender en-
tirely to the operators, but he is will
ing to meet them at least half way in
any effort to arrange the matters still
in controversy.
Francis L. Robbins, who is the
spokesman for the bituminous operat-
ors, is also disposed toward an agree
ment. There is reason to believe that
if the matter were left to the unbias-
ed Judgment of Mr.. Robbins and Mr.
Mitchell there would be speedy end
to the uncertainty existing and the
clouds now hanging about the in
dustrial horizon would quickly disap-
pear and popular confidence would be
restored. Is it too much to hope that
the sound business sense of these two
gentlemen will be permitted to domin-
ate the reassembled joint conference?

strongly for the substitution of asphalt
