Supply of Soft Coal.

Should the miners strike, which
now seems imminent, become general
and take in the bituminous along with
the anthracite field the effect would no
doubt be to paralyze all industry. The
hope is still adhered to that strike
may be averted in the soft coal region.
In order to determine the outlook as
it relates to our local industries in
case the worst should come to pass a
visit was made to our leading indus
tries yesterday. AS will be seen Dan
vile is fortunately situated and has
little to fear unless a strike should oc-
cur that is especially prolonged and
bitter and lead to business complica-
tions now wholly unforeseen.
In the first place it was found that
our industries are stocked up to the
full limit and are carrying a supply of
soft coal that will meet all demands
for months. The Reading Iron Works
has no less that ten thousand tons of
soft coal in it's bunkers-eight thou
sand tons at the big mill and some
two thousand tons at the Danville
Rolling Mill. In addition, the Read
ing Iron Company possesses soft coal
mines of it's own, at Somerset, and
even if it should not be able to
keep the mines in operation it is in
position to control the output at
present, using it to stock up the Read
ing Iron company's own industries to
any limit desired.
To illustrate how rapidly big in
dustry like the Reading Iron Works
eats up soft coal it might be stated
that when the plant is in full opera
tion it requires some two hundred and
forty tons per day or some five thou
sand tons per month to feed its fur
naces. The mill is not running full
at present SO that of course the daily
and the monthly consumption is some-
what below the above figures.
The Structural Tubing Works has
also large supply of soft coal on
hand. On the whole the situation is
such that none of our manufacturers
see any cause for alarm and they all
speak hopefully.

TWENTY EIGHT WILD GEESE.

A large number of wild geese ewing
ed their flight" over this city yester-
day morning and their movements
puzzled weather observers very much,
as those persons generally regard the
appearance of wild geese at this season
the precursor of an early spring. In
the present instance, however, the wise
birds failed to take northerly direc-
tion as is expected of wild geese and
the like when spring approaches.
There were twenty-eight wild geese
in the flock, which sailed down over
the town from northerly direction
and on line with Pine street crossed
the river. On the opposite shore they
came to halt and after circling
around awhile as if taking their bear.
ing they turned down the river and as
far as they could be seen pursued that
course. The big flock presented a very
pretty sight, flying very low.

PLATE GLASS WINDOWS.

The large plate glass yesterday ar
rived for the new front in the Dreifuss
building, Mill street, which will be
occupied by Cohen Brothers. The glass
are among the largest that ever came
to town. Mr.. Dreifuss has the honor
of installing the first flexible plate
glass window in town. Danville has
larger number of tasteful modern
store fronts than many other towns
can boast of. Regularly each season
one OF more of the store rooms are re-
modelled.
The first plate glass windows in
stalled in Danville were in front of r.
d. Magill's drug store, Mill street,
away back in the early days. The
same glass remains today and has stood
some pretty hard knocks. In fact the
two windows have quite history and
Mr.. Magill, the proprietor, often re-
gales his friends with interesting

TONS OF GOLD TREASURE.
Vast Store of Wealth Emptied From
New World Into Old.

New World Into Old.
1t has never been told how vast was
the treasure that was emptied from the
| new world into the old in the glorious
days of the Spanish dominion We can
only judge of how great 1t was by col
lateral evidence. The booties of Cortes
and Pizarro are famous in annals Of
new world history In them we have
read how the soldiers of the former
carried away only small part Of the
treasures looted at Mexico, yet were so
loaded down with stolen gold that
when they fell from the causeway into
the lake in the memorable retreat from
Mexico they sank and drowned as
weighted with plummets of lead; also
we read how Pizarro eXacted as trib
ute for the liberation of the Inca Alta
hulpa gold that filled to the depth of
several feet room seventeen feet wide
by twenty-five feet long and that was
| valued ut 100000 pesos dor, the
equivalent of nearly $4,000 of our
| money.
When Drake sailed the. south sea In
the Golden Hind upon his piratlcal
voyage VI tiG'NillltN lSdtloh III tue
years 15I7-79 and when he captured the
Nuestra Sonora della Concepcion-sur-
named the Cacafue or Spitfire-of Cape
San Francisco, 1t took three days to
transfer the treasure from the cap
| turcd ship to his own. In that single
haul there was realized a purchase"
as it was called, of over twenty-six
tons of silver, besides eighty pounds Of
virgin gold thirteen chests of pieces Of
eight containing over S1,00O,000 in
money and an enormous amount Of
jewels and plate.
Upon the evidence of John Drake we
read that when the Golden Hind laid
her course for England, by way Of the
Cape of Good Hope, she was SO heavily
"ballasted' with pure silver that she
rode exceeding deep in the water."-

HAIR AND CEAROS.
They Have Played Important Parts
In the N.'ot,Id's Iiistory.

In the WORLDS History.
In centuric; ra.t the human hair
played an important part in all judicial
proceedings Those that were permit.
ted to wear beard and hair had rights
that could not be claimed by the shorn
and shaved. When men made oath
they touched their beard and hair, and
women placed the finger tips Of the
right hand on their tresses.
Servants were obliged to have their
hair cut and il a freedman went into
slavery he had to diyest himself Of his
hirsute adornments. An adult adopted
by foster parents was obliged to have
his beard shaved, and the shaving OF
beard and hair was punishment In
fiicted on criminals The Jurisprudence
of our ancestors dealt with punishment
"by skin and hair" for small offenses
and "by neck and hand" for greater
crimes.
There has always been more or less
superstition about hair Great strength
was implied by 1t, and wizards and
witches knew of concoctions of hair by
which they poisoned enemies. Cats
hair was especially named in the cate
gory Of poisonous hairs, and even at
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
tury Paulus Zacchias, famous physi.
clan, writes of the virulent poison OF
the hair of cats.
Among civilized people such superstt
tious beliefs have gone out Of existence.
and only MalayS give their enemies
tiger hairs In broth to kill them.

SELLING LIQUOR
TO MINORS

The police Saturday evening found
themselves up against new PROPOSE
tion, which for the time being almost
let them in doubt as to how to proceed.
AS the evening wore on they found
themselves face to face with the fact
that boys of almost any age from six
teen years upward were getting whis-
key and were giving evidence of their
indulgence by appearing in various
stages of intoxication. 1t was not one
boys caper, but probably of half a
dozen. The spectacle was disgrace
full one and excited much comment
among people on the street.
More or less drunkenness is expected
on Saturday nights following pay, !"
but such thing as the boys falling in
with their elders and helping to keep
the police busy was new feature of
the game. The officers naturally turn :
/ ed their first attention to the boys,
with whom they had no desire to be
severe. The silly fellows were kept
quiet as far as possible and every me-
thod was adopted to get them to go
home. What concerned the officers the
most Saturday night was to find where
whiskey was being sold to minors.
They did good deal of quiet work
and what information they gained is
known only to themselves. The person
or persons who have violated the law
in this matter not only commit great
wrong but they run big risk of be-
ing caught, as little reflection will
teach them that in every case where
liquor is sold to minors there is OF
necessity one or more persons besides
themselves who are aware of the
breach.
The boys themselves would do well
to let Saturday nights offense be the
last. Theirs is a case in which for.
bearance would cease to be virtue af
ter the first offense, or what through
| charity passes as such. Their next at.
tempt to whoop it up will be pretty
sure to land them in the lookup

THE CONSEQUENCES.

The fiat refusal of the mine opera
tors to consider the propositions of the
miners renders the situation in the
coal-mining districts most acute. 1t
may be, however, that the very sharp
ness of the differences between the con-
ficting interests will force some kind
of compromise. The troubles be-
tween the operators and miners have,
in the past, resulted in tremendous
losses to both sides of the controversy
and to still greater loss and distress to
the people at large. Any industrial
quarrel which throws thousands of
men out of employment, stops the
wheels of manufacture and blocks the
avenues of commerce. is deadly blow
to the well-being of civilized com
munities. 1t is high time that such
conditions were made impossible.

TIT FUR TAT
BEFORE JUSTICE

John Jruveski and Mrs. Joseph Kem-
iski, Polish residents of Bank street,
irdulged in the luxury of several
'hearings' that took up a good deal
of Justice Dalton's time during Mon
day evening and Tuesday morning.
During the course of the proceedings
each of the parties appeared once in
the role of prosecutor and once as de-
fendant
On Monday the bad feeling that has
existed for some time between Mrs.
Kemiski and Mr.. Jruveksi eliminated
in a fracas, during the course of which
the former struck the latter on the
head with the hard end of broom.
Mrs X. was promptly arrested on a
charge of assault and battery, the case
being heard before Squire Dalton
Monday night. Neither of the bel
ligerents speak United States, so it
was only with the aid of an interpre-
ter that it was finally decided that the
female defendant should pay the costs
if her accuser withdrew the charge.
The experience of separating herself
from the coin necessary to pay the
costs, was not an altogether delightful
experience for Mrs. Kemiski, so she
decided to get even with her persecut-
or by working his own scheme against
himself. Accordingly she swore out a
warrant for Jruveski charging him
with assault and battery, committed
on her child.
Once again the party gathered at
Squire Dalton's office, but this time
with the positions of the principals re-
| versed. By dint of much careful ques-
tioning it was determined that Mr..
Jruveski had taken forcible hold of
Mrs. Kemiski's child and thrown it to
the ground. Again it was agreed that
the defendant paying the costs, the
prosecution would withdraw the
| charge.
Both Mrs. Kemiski and Mr.. Jruveski
returned to Bank street apparently
| satisfied after their several trips to the
bar of Justice. Both were elated that
the other had been compelled to "loos-
en-, and both were somewhat depress-
ed that they had been obliged them

AGAINST THE MOSQUITO.

There is to be legislative hearing
in Trenton today on the question of
an appropriation for the extermina-
tion of the mosquito in New Jersey.
A dozen years ago such a proposition
would have awakened derision and in
credulity from one end of the country
to the other, but the discoveries of
modern science have furnished ample
proof that this pest, which has made
New Jersey at once famous and wretch
ed, can be exterminated from her
coasts.
The amount demanded for this years
work in mosquito destruction is $780,
600, but the economists, doubling
Thomases and disbelievers in scientific
progress are fighting the proposition
each from his own viewpoint.
If New Jersey could by the expend
iture of ten times the amount demand
ed eliminate the pest it would be mon
ey we'll spent. The increased value of
real estate within a decade would
more than compensate for the outlay.
There is pennywise and poundfool-
ish way of going about this work, and
it is to make small and dribbling ap-
preparations, which in reality might
as we'll not be made at all. The auth.
critics should go about it in wholesale
fashion and be done with it. New
Jersey is practically out of debt and
could spend four times the sum asked
for and never feel it,

WHAT MIGHT BE SAVED.

Has it ever occurred to any one at
the present rate for coal what an ex-
ceedingly small quantity represents
five cents in value. A, boy appeared
at one of the local yards for a nickel's s
worth of coal yesterday. The dealer
was as liberal as he could be under the
circumstances and the boy carried
home as his portion quantity that
would approximately fill coal scut-
tie. The whole served to illustrate how
rapidly an extravagant use of coal
runs into a needless waste of money.
Stoves and furnaces can easily be reg
ulated to effect the saving of scut-
tie of coal now and then and what the
saving means in money is we'll illus.
trated by the above.

AFTER THE SAN
JOSE SCALE

J. w. Bettleyon, representing the
State department of agriculture as San
Jose scale demonstrator, arrived in
Danville Monday and for the next
week will conduct an active crusade
in this vicinity against the scale and
other insect pests.
Mr.. Bettleyon is from Dalmatia,
Northumberland county, and is one of
class of 81, that has recently been
instructed in the work of demonstrat-
ing at Harrisburg. During his stay in
Danville he will have headquarters at
the Montour House.
Mr.. Bettleyon fears that his work in
this county will be greatly interfered
with by the almost impossible condi-
tion of the country roads. 1t is his in
tention, if possible, to give demon
stration in each township, thus giving
everybody an opportunity to observe
the best methods to get rid of the scale.
This is the best time of the year for
the farmers and others who raise fruit
to get ready for the spring spraying
for the San Jose scale and other insect
pests.
Mr.. Bettleyon outlined the methods
and formula used by him as follows:
Suitable apparatus should be pro-
vided; a good force pump, mounted on
barrel will do very we'll for most or
chards. The best spray is the lime,
sulphur-salt mixture. Put or gal
| Ions of water in an iron kettle and
bring to boiling point, then put in q
| pounds of stone lime (slacked lime
| will not do) AS soon as the lime com
mences to slack add II pounds of flow
ers of sulphur. Boil for one hour, keep
ing we'll stirred from the bottom. The
salt can be added at any time while
| boiling At the end of an hours boil
ing the mixture should be of bricE
red or catsup color. Strain through q
brass wire sieve: add water to make
| 80 gallons and the mixture is ready fol
use. This mixture need not be boil
ing hot when used but runs through
the nozzle better when warm. This
can be applied any time before the
buds burst, and the trees should bt
well pruned before spraying as the
work can be done in less time and more
thoroughly.
