SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. 1s.-Archbishop
]. ]. Harty of Manila, formerly pastor
of st. Louis Catholic Church, Twenty
third and Mullanphy streets, will prob
ably never return to the Philippines,
according to a letter received by a ST.
Louis priest today
The letter came from Rome and stat
ed that Archbishop Harty had been
practically selected to succeed the late
Coadjutor Archbishop George Mont
gomery of San Francisco. Archbishop
Patrick W. Riordan of San Francisco
is far advanced in years and it is
planned, it is stated, for Archbishop
Harty to eventually become the head
of the diocese.
Archbishop Harty is now In Rome to
report to the Pope the conditions in the
Philippines, as we'll as the result of his
recent visit to Madrid, where he is said
to have conferred with King Alfonso
and the young monarch's advisers re-
garding Spanish Catholics in the East
ern archipelago.
From Rome Archbishop Harty will
come direct to Washington, where he
will meet President Roosevelt.
According to the information re-
ceived by the st. Louis priest, Arch
bishop Harty will go to San Francisco
as soon as he completes his mission.
1t is known by the friends of Arch
bishop Harty in st. Louis, where he
was born and raised, that his health
has suffered from his stay in the Far
East He had misgivings as to his
ability to stand the climate when he
was sent to Manila.
The rise of the Archbishop in the
Catholic church is considered to
be without precedent, at least
in this country. He was the
parish priest of st. Louis when
he was summoned to Rome about three
years ago, to return clothed in the
mantle of an Archbishop.
The selection of a successor to the
late Archbishop Montgomery has been
matter of discussion among the
priests of the diocese of San Francisco,
and while many names have been sug-
gested as possibilities, no definite idea
has been formed as to who the coad-
jutor will be. The impression prevails
that the appointee will not come from
California
1t is said that an effort will be made
to secure the appointment of d. J.
O'Connell, president of the Catholic
University of America at Washington,
D. c., who Is an intimate friend of
Archbishop Riordan. He was former
head of the American College in Rome.

il viii be one Of the strongest labor
organizations in the world, it viii
include in its membership over a half
million workers. The principal value
OF the organization would lie in the
fact that the agreements of the various
unions can be made to terminate at
the same time. II the employers were
inclined TO deal unfairly with one
branch OF the trade, then the other
unions would be able TO quit work to
aid them without violating any agree-
ment.
The unions which would compose the
proposed federation include the mold
ers, machinistss pattern makers, boiler
makers, stationary engineers, metal
polishers, buffers and platers, black
smiths, blacksmiths' helpers and cleo
trical workers. According to the plans
outlined in Pittsburg the international

MRS GEORGE RUDY'S
EXCITING EXPERIENCE

Mrs. George Rudy, of East Dan
VILE, is suffering from the effects of a
bad fall sustained in stepping from a
trolley car while it was in motion on
Tuesday.
Mrs. Rudy left Danville on the 10
O'Clock car, whichiwas in charge of
Conductor Frank Mench, who has re-
turned to the Danyille and Bloomsbury
line after an absence of some months
The conductor formerly on duty, it ap-
pears, was well acquainted with Mrs.
Rudy and generally stopped the car at
her home, which is near the school
house.
Mrs. Rudy did not think it neces-
sary to tell the new conductor to let
her off and he ran by her home Mrs.
Rudy who is not in good health, be-
came very much excited when the car
did not stop and rising called to the
conductor. The latter instantly pro-
ceeded to stop the car, but before he
could bring it to a standstill the wo-
man in a highly nervous and excited
state dashed by him and jumped off
the car, which was still running at
fast clip.
The woman struck the ground and
rebounding was thrown some distance
from the track, the force of the i'm
pact rendering her unconscious. She
was carried to her home. where she
finally revived somewhat, but later
suffered relapse. DIR. Curry was call
ed who found that no bones were brokz
en- and that there were no symptoms
of internal injury. She was still in
disposed yesterday as the result of the
shock.

JOHNSTON FAMILY
VAULT COMPLETED

The fine vault erected in the Odd
Fellows cemetery by the O. L. John
ston family of this county is now COM
pleted and on Monday the remains of
Charles L. Johnston and Mary A.
Johnston, husband and wife, were re-
moved from the lot adjoining and
placed in the vault
The vault is situated near the mau-
soleum erected by Mrs. Geisinger and
like that structure presents an impos-
ing appearance. AS it's name implies,
it is partially below the surface of the
ground, only about three-fourth of it
being exposed to view. The vault is
fifteen feet six inches long and thir-
teen feet, two inches wide. The height
of the structure in front is ten feet;
in the rear only about four feet is
above the surface.
The vault is built of Mt. Airy gran
ite. On the inside it is lined with
Tennessee marble and bronze. The
massive door also is of bronze. The
work was begun on April 1st.
The vault contains twelve cata-
combs. The remains of Charles L.
Johnston and his wife which were re-
moved on Monday are the only bodies
that the vault contains. The deceased
couple were residenst of West Hem
lock township, Montour county.
Charles L. Johnston departed this life
twenty -one years ago; his wife died
two and half years since. Both were
buried in the large plot owned by the
family just below the vault. The rep
resentatives of the Charles L. Johnston
family, by whom the vault was erect
ed, are John J. Johnston of Valley
township and Augustus j. Maus of
West Hemlock township. this county.

JUMBO THRASHED
By YOUNG RIVAL

1t is sad to relate that Jumbo, the
proud old elk belonging to Hon. Alex
ander Billmeyer, which so lately re.
turned from his triumphal tour to
Elks' convention at Philadelphia, has
been subjected to the crushing hum
iliation of being attacked and soundly
thrashed by his young rival, Job, which
on Monday suddenly conceived the
rash idea of asserting supremacy.
The qualifying word Trash" is ad-
visedly used, for Job, the younger elk,
a few hours after his victory paid the
penalty of his indiscretion in attack
ing the king by being divested of his
antlers.
Job has attained the same size as
Jumbo, both weighing about 1900
pounds. If there was any difference
between the two it lay in the fact that
Jumbo's horns were trife larger
than Jobs. Up to the present week
the antlers of both elks we're "in the
velvet" when the noble animals are
docile and kindly disposed. Both elks
were " shedding" the velvet, however,
and which would finish up the process
first was question to which much
Importance attached, as it is always
understood that the moment the anti
ers are free from "velvet, the elk s
savage nature asserts itself and his
horns having became as hard and rigid
as bone the animal is in condition
to do fearful execution should he get
on rampage.
Job, it appears, cleaned off" his
horns first, while yet the velvet" in
long strings adhered to Jumbo's mas
sive antlers. Job decided to celebrate
his state of exaltation by vanquishing
his sire. Jumbo being unprepared for
war the battle was brief and the vic.
tory was wholly on Jobs side.
Then came the humiliation. Job was
driven into the narrow pen used in de-
horning the elks. A rope was thrown
over his antlers. the other end of
which was wound around windlass
BY means of the latter the elk was
pulled up in one corner where he could
not help himself; his haughtly head
was drawn down and in a few min
utes, while the expert dehorner piled
the saw, the regal autlers. which for
thirteen weeks had cost the elk so
much care and solicitude. were remov-
ed from his head. They are splendid
specimens, each antler weighing some
twenty pounds.
When Job realized that he had been
shorn of his power he was crestfallen
indeed. There was no longer any fight
in him and he was permitted to join
the rest of the herd. Later he was seen
eating peacefully out of the same
trough with Jumbo, which seemed to
look on his degraded and humiliated
rival with deep compassion.
Previously it was old Jumbo which
went on the rampage and which paid
the penalty by having his antlers saw
ed off. Jumbo will become savage a
little later, but Mr.. Billmeyer this
year contemplates penning the old elk
mp and thus obviating the necessity of
dehorning him, as his antlers are ex-
ceedingly fine specimens and there is
general desire to see'them preserved.
