Deaths Outnumber Births.

The book of the local registrar
show that twenty-one births took
place i'll this registration district of
Montour county during the month of
March The number of deaths during
March as given when the regular
monthly report was printed in the 3r d
inst, it VIII be recalled, was twenty
five, which reveals that during March
our population suffered a slight de-
cline. During the month of February,
however, the number of births were in
the ascendency, being twenty-three as
against twenty deaths reported. Dur
ing January there were twenty births,
while only fourteen death certificates
were issued,a very gratifying showing
indeed. How the record stood previous
ly, before the act TO provide for the
immediate registration of births and
deaths went into effect, cannot he so
easily determined.
March report shows that the tables
occasionally turn and that births do
not uniformly exceed the deaths The
next report III this respect will be
watched with a9good deal of interest.

Artistic Piece of Work.

David c. Hunt, the we'll known car
riage and wagon maker of this city,
has just completed a most artistic
piece of work, which will be sure to
attract attention abroad and may be
the forerunner of great deal of work
of precisely the same kind that will be
turned out Of his factory. The work
alluded to is the painting of three wag-
ons for the MOxie Nerve Food COM
pany, of New England, two of the
vehicles being in the form familiar to
most persons, a big bottle on wheels.
and the other, a top wagon with the
roof supported by four big bottles, one
at each corner.
Mr. Hunt is one of the finest carri
age painters in this section and the
unique and ornamental form of the
Moxie wagons lend themselves very
nicely to his extraordinary ability and
the result is something little short of
dazzling. Only one wagon is wholly
completed The main body that is
the big bottle-is painted a French
carmine. the lettering being of gold
shaded tastefully in a variety of col
ors. The running gear is painted
white, striped and ornamented in blue
and red In addition there is an abund
ance of scroll work.
These wagons Will be completed and
put out on the road in time for the
summers trade. Mr. Hunt is consider
ing "A proposition from the MoXie peo-
pie to enter upon the work of repaint-
ing for them on a large scale next fall
and winter after the MoXie season is
over. In case he takes the contract the
wagons will arrive by the car load
from all over the country and Mr.
Hunts painting department will have
all that it can accomplish between fall
and spring.
Arthur NJ. Heddens, agent for MOXie
in this section, has been very anxious
to bring this branch of the work to
Danville and he called attention OF the
Moxie company to Mr. Hunts fine
facilities and his skill as a carriage
painter. Mr.. Hunts own ability as
demonstrated in his work did the rest.

Baby nystery.

Sunbury has a baby mystery. On
Saturday morning two we'll dressed
women, heavily veiled, went to the
home of Mrs. Chris Martin, in Sun
bury, and asked her if she world ia ke
care of baby three weeks old for a
time. Mrs. Martin did not give them
any satisfaction. The next evening
between eight and nine O'Clock they
again appeared at the Martin home
with a baby and bundle containing
a fine outfit OF intant's clothing. The
one was tall and wore a light coat, her
face was hidden from view by a thick
brown VEIL her companion was clad
in a black dress and wore black veil.
The first described woman carried a
bundle in her arms which she unwrap-
ped, disclosing a tiny infant. Placing
the child in the arms of Mrs. Martin
she remarked ~ have seen your moth
er and she told me you would care for
this baby. Her name is Margaret
Clark. Please take care of her until
Friday and then Will call for her "

half in cash to buy milk aud bundle
Of clean clothes for the child the wo-
men then quickly hurried away, stat
ing that they. just had time to catch
the train.
The clothes consisted of IA white silk
coat and underclothes of excellent
material. During their stay both times
neither of the women lifted their wells
or gave any clues that will aid in
learning the identity of the child
1t has since developed that we'll
known woman from the vicinity of
Milton, and tall, handsome, stylishly
dressed young woman with an infant,
who was introduced as Mrs Shaffer,

WILL RETURN TO
PHILIPPINES

Mrs. Elizabeth NJ Brinton, a train
{ ed nurse of wide reputation, who lab
ored i'll the government service, and
has filled many important positions in
private families of wealth and inhu-
ence, who is now spending few days
i'll this city among the friends of ear
ller days is preparing to carry her
chosen life labor into altogether new
sphere of activity-that of the mis-
sionary field.
On May 2nd Mrs. Brinton Will sail
from San Francisco for the Philippine
islands, where she Will take charge of
the new Presbyterian mission hospital
at Iloilo on the island of Panay. The
mission hospital. which was founded
through the efforts of Rev. DR.. Hall.
a noted missionary on the islands, will
/ fill lOngfelt want at Iloilo, as aside
! from the natives, to whom the hospit-
al will prove a great blessing, there
are on the island large number of
! foreign residents including those con-
nected with the consular service, trades
people and others who have emigrated
from the States all of whom previous
ly, if they needed hospital treatment,
were obliged to journey $50 miles north
ward to Manila. 1t was largely through
the help received from the foreign
residents that Dr. Hall was able to es-
tablish the institution. The mission
hospital, therefore, while primarily
built for the natives, will contain
| rooms for the foreign residents, who
will pay for their treatment.
Mrs. Brinton was nurse in the
Philippines for three years under the
United States government during the
| uprising of the natives In that time
she not only became accustomed to the
climate and the conditions of life and
society there but she also demonstrat-
| ed her rare ability and tact as nurse
1t was at the request of DR.. Hall, the
missionaryron the islands, that the
NOllittn L ICSDN ltlldll IDOdlb VI lllC
Northwest appointed Mrs. Brinton as
! the chief nurse of the mission hOspit-
al, a position which gives her sole
charge. Nurses for the institution will
have to be supplied by the islands and
to Mrs. Brinton will belong the honor
| of starting the first training school of
native girls.
| Mrs. Brinton enters upon this de-
partment of missionary work for life,
unless it should occur that health does
not hold out. She stated yesterday that
she will leave Danville on next Tues
day, stopping at Niagara Falls, after
which she will proceed to Chicago,
where on the 18th and Goth she will
meet the Presbyterian woman's board
of the northwest Her next stopping
| place will be at Denver where she will
remain until the 24th, when she will
proceed to San Francisco, where three
weeks from yesterday she will sail OH
the steamship China.
At the expiration of six years Mrs
Brinton will be entitled to vacation
of one year, which she will no doubt
spend in the United States.
