DANCE
A NOTABLE EVENT

A most notable and unique affair
was Japanese dance. given at De-
Wits park by Miss Florence and Ed
ward Price last evening. 1.-THE arrange
ments for the event we're on most
elaborate scale, and the guests includ-
ed large number of the young people
of this city and some from a distance.
For the occasion the pavilion at De-
Wits had been transformed into a
bower of beauty with profuse deoora-
tions distinctively Japanese. The
north side of the pavilion was parti-
toned off and there during intermis-
sion elaborate refreshments were serv-
ed by Caterer John B. Mccoy. Music
for the dancing was furnished by
Miles orchestra.
A charming feature was the appear
snce of all the young ladies in jap
anese costumes, which completed the
air of picturesque beauty of the affair.

DROUGHT NEARLY
UNPRECEDENTED

The drought prevailing at present is
more severe than at any time tins
summer. 1t is true that season has
been reached when no direct harm can
result to the crops. but the effect of
the drought is none the less detriment-
al in various ways.
The river has now attained the low.
est point in many years aud the
drought as it affects our water supply
is really serious matter. One of the
wells that supply the filter plant is
practically out of the water. The 9TH
er wells have only minimum supply
to draw upon. There is only u thin
sheet of water any where in the river,
with a sluggish current which at
places seems scarcely to move. On the
whole conditions are such as to awak-
en- grave apprehension in view of the
steady influx of hospital sewage only
short distance above town.
The farmers are very anxiously
awaiting rain. Many of the fields are
too dry to plough. At other places,
where ploughing is finished, the farm
ers do not like to SOW the wheat ow-
ing to the dry condition of the ground
which is unfavorable for the sprout-
ing OF the grain. The seeding season,
however, is here and q good many
farmers, rather than delay their work
have sowed their fields hoping for rain
before long.
A good rain would benefit all part
les. Not only would it moisten the
earth, admitting Of proper tillage, and
raise the streams, flushing the polluted
river channels, but it would also wipe
out the dust, which just now whether
in town or in country, on the rail
roads or on highways is really nuis-
ance that detraots not little from the
pleasure of living.

DEATH OF AMOS WEAVER.
THROWN OUT
OVER DASHBOARD

Persons in the vicinity of the public
park Tuesday forenoon were thrilled
by dangerous runaway, in which two
women's lives were in extreme peril.
1t was about 10 30 o'clock. Mrs.
Lobach, who resides near Blees school
house, accompanied by Mrs. Roy
Thomas, was driving down Bloom
street in spring wagon. The horse
took fright and began to run. Despite

SET
THE EXAMPLE

Now that Danville has about COM
pleted the W ork of Transforming an alb
andoned cemetery into an ideal public
park it may well be gratifying for our
citizens to learn that their example in
this direction is likely to be followed
throughout the, State wherever dis
used municipal cemetery exists.
In addressing council on the subject
at it's last meeting. Borough Solicitor
E. S. Gearhsrt explained that from
colonial times the people of this Com
monwealth including it's great Chief
Justice Agnew, bad been taught to be-
lieve in the legal fiction that once a
cemetery was always cemetery and
that its ground could not be devoted
to any other purpose. but the people
are now beginning to learn that they
have been chasing legal moonbeam.
Crystallized public sentiment, which is
far more effective than the law itself
has sternly decreed that the municipal
cemetery everywhere must go down
before the encroaching footsteps Of
Twentieth century civilization.
In the towns of Northum berland,
Sunbury, Milton. Carlisle, and Will
Transport where there are old GENE,
teries that retard the wheels of mum
icipal progress Danville's pioneer
movement is a subject of much dis
cussion and in each of these towns a
sentiment is crystallizing in favor of
initiating our example and taking steps
to secure the legal abandonme MT of the
cemetery. In one or more of the towns
the petition relating to the transfer is
already being prepared by the citizens.
In the old cemetery at, Northumber-
land. which public sentiment de.
mands be legally abandoned, still re-
pose the remains of the great Joseph
Priestly, the father of modern chemis-
try and the discoverer of oxygen.
Whether or not any complications due
to his grave may arise in the proposed
legal abandonment remains to be seen.
