A Change of Agents.

The Adams express office, which for
80 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. c. Williams.
This change of course implies that
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 a 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.. Grone 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
20 commission. one of which will be
driven by the agent and that a clerk,
probably a lady, will be employed in
the office Such at least is the plan
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 bring
about larger returns remains 70 be

when a host of neighbors and friends
invaded the pleasant home Of Mr. and
Mrs. Poeth, on Cooper street and took
possession almost before the hostess
realized what was transporting 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 a 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 a perfect sur
prise was the result. Tokens of re

Roosevelt Will Attend

President Roosevelt Will personally
participate i'll the dedication of the
new Pennsylvania State Capitol, at
Harrisburg, Thursday, October 4th.
The President himself selected the

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 OcUboer / 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 c. Sproul, of Chester
Senator John f. 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, 600 to defray expenses. This
insures an elaborate ceremony. One Of
the features will be a big parade Of
the National Guard of Pennsylvania,
reviewed by the President and Cover
nor Pennypacker There will probably
also be a public reception to the Presi-

State Health Commissioner Samuel
G.. Dixon would make short work of
the "quack' doctor, by having his
state medical license revoked, the mo-
ment it was proved that the man was
carrying on a business or acting in his
professional capacity in such a man
ner as to bring disgrace upon the
medical profession and harm to the
victims of his charlatanism.
DR.. Dixon brought out this point
very forcibly Monday night, in open
ing the discussion at the College of
Physicians, following a paper on
"Quackery: What are we going to do
about it," read by Champe S. And
rews, Esq, of New York, before the
Medical Jurisprudence Society of Phil
adelphia.
If a lawyer in this State" said
Health Commissioner Dixon, trifled
with the affairs of his client or carri-
ed on the montebank operations like
some of the so-called physicians who
are openly trifling with the lives Of
their patients by knavish practice of
medicine, they would be at once de-
barred from practicing law. Yet the
present laws of this State permit the
medical quack 10 go on acting as a
family physician, practicing under the
official license that bears the seal Of
this great Commonwealth. He may
have been convicted of mai practice
yet go about Haunting a State license.
1t is time, continued Health
Commissioner Dixon, that we band
together and prepare bill to be pre-
sented to the next legislature empow-
ering the State medical examining
board to revoke medical licenses when
it is proven that they have fallen into
the hands Of charlatans and quacks.

OLD SOLDIERS
STILL, ACTIVE

The season of the year is now ap-
preaching when the veterans of the
G. A. r. begin to bestow some
thought on Memorial day, which is
only "a couple of months distant In
| conversation with some members of
Goodrich Post yesterday it was learn
ed that Memorial day here this year
will be celebrated with the usual
march to the cemetery and with all
the features that have assisted to make
the occasion SO impressive in the past
This is quite gratifying in view of
the fact that in some other places, not
ably in city like Williamsport, the G.
A. r. camp this year will hold its
last parade. Everywhere the rank of
the defenders of the Union are thin
ming out and those who survive begin
to feel the burden of advancing years
As body they hardly feel equal to
the task of marching to the cemetery
in military style much longer. Ar
rangements therefore are being made
to observe Memorial day this year all
the more elaborately to mark the pass
ing of the time-honored parade of the
civil war veterans to the graves of
their departed comrades.
The members of Goodrich Post yes
terday stated that not only would the
veterans OF the civil war in DanvilIe
march to the cemetery in true military
style this year, but they would con
| tinue TO do so for years to come. Six
teen old soldiers died in Danville dur
ing the past year, of this number
! twelve being members of Goodrich
Post. The post has still a hundred
members. A large proportion of these
are still relatively young and are still
able to do some pretty active hustling
while engaged in their daily pursuits.
Danville is fortunate in having a
camp of Sons of Veterans, one Of the
objects of which is to perpetuate the
observance Of memorial day, taking VI
the work of decorating the graves and
looking after all the other details as
fast as advancing years disqualify the
surviving veterans for the performance
of that tender duty. Colonel Eckman
Camp No %, Sons of Veterans is very
enthusiastic as to its duty in this line
and already last year rendered the
veterans much assistance.
The local camp of Sons Of Veteran.
has now been fully equipped with gun,
and this year they will step in to per
form the duty of firing squad at the
cemetery,a part of the program which
heretofore was always performed by
the National guardsmen.
