HAWAII HAD Open
HOUSE At ST. PAUL

The week that has lust closed has
set new high water mark for Shrin.
ers' conclaves. Never before has
there been such conclave, never
have the pilgrims struck an oasis
where they were so Hospitality re-
ceived or where they were kept SC
busy having a good time, and never
before have so many gathered In one
oasis at one time.
When the st. Paul Shriners went to
Los Angeles a year ago and there Sc.
cured the next conclave for St. Paul.
they realized that they would have to
go some" to beat the entertainment
which Los Angeles gave. But they
came home and they event some" and

WAYS. Did you see the official pro.
gram which the local committee gave
out? Well there were dozen things
for every day, something to keep the
pilgrims busy from early Sunday

much doing that no one of them could
take II all in. Everything was free

The Electrical Display.
THE electrical Illumination here
far excelled anything we have ever
seen. In st, Paul II was not only one
street that was Illuminated, but wher.

lamp posts were a new and distinctive
feature and the overhead wiring sur.
passed former Examinations.
"The electrical parade was n new

the use of the telegraph was abandon

induce the company to adopt the tele-

lines.
The telegraph instruments and wires
will still be retained as an auxiliary.
They may be used occasionally in

joy rather long Christmas vacation.
A the last meeting of the board it was
ordered that the schools close on We'd

Monday, January 4th following.
Several reasons were adduced for
closing the schools on Wednesday in
stead OF on Thursday, the day i'm

most important being that it gives
teachers and pupils more time to pre-.
pare for the event. Some desire TO
spend their vacations IN other towns,
while Others expect to entertain visit.

which occurred only three weeks pre-

COMMITTED suicide
By HANGING

A sad aud shocking suicide occurred
in Anthony township Saturday after
noon, when Mrs. Pauline MUSCLE,
the wife of Barnhart Musche, in
fit of melancholy. took her own life
by strangling herself with piece OF
twine tied to door knob
The case is very sad one. Mrs
Musnhe has been subject to melan-
choiia. which, it was feared, would
uubalance her mind, and cause her to
do some rash act. Her husband had
been keeping d close watch on her for
some time. Saturday afternoon just
after dinner, Mr.. MusGhe Went out to
feed the stock, anu during his absence
the woman secured II piece OF twine
and committed her rash act hen the
husband returned the wife was dead
Mrs. Musche had evidently been con-
sdering putting an end to her exist
enc on earth, for when her husband
lsft tile house Saturday for short in
terval. she worked with speed and
precision that indicated the ACT nSd
bsen we'll planned. Ii was just ten
minutes before twelve wnen Mr..
Musche went out, and at five minutes
after twelve he returned. lie saw his
wife doubled up in kueeiing posture

OF which was attached to stair door
knob in the kitchen and the other in

when he found her The woman had
evidently knelt down, TO lower her
head below the knob, aud then plung
ed forward and succeeded in strangllng
herself in that manner.
Mrs Musche was Al years of age and
without children, and, like her hus
band. was a native of Germany, hav-
ing emigrated to this country about
twenty five years ago. Mr. Musche is
we'll to do and thrifty man and
model husband. Ii is thought that the
womau's melsncholia was partly in
duced by longing for the Fatherland
which she visited last about seven
years ago. Their home is on the late
NJ. II. Carey farm. about a mile and
half south of Exchange. one OF the
finest farms in Anthony township,
which is owned by Mr.. MUSCLE.
The funeral took place Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock from the home,
with Rev. Kohler in charge. Inter.
ment was made at Turbotville.

DANV|LLE'S
OPPORTUNITY

Danvllte and A lden are two new
towns that will probably join the Sus-
quehanna base ball league next season.
AT al events the way is open before
them, Danville especially.
In the Susquehanna league, at pres
ens, are the towns of Bloomsburg, Ben
ton, Berwick, Shlckshinny, Nanticoke
and Nescopeck. +. l.. Steiber or
bloomsbury. president OF the Susaue-
hanna league, in conversation a dav
or so ago, stated that it has been de-
cided TO enlarge the league, taking in
eight teams instead Of six and that.
while other towns could easily be Sc
cured, Danville has the preference.
President Steiber spoke with enthus-
iasm, showing that he appreciates.
not only what the Susquehanna league
could Go to promote the national game
IN DanviIle, but also, which is more
hattering, what Danville could do to
aid aud strengthen the league.
All OF which does not imply that
the league is weak; on the contrary as
is we'll known the Susquehanna league
last season did not suffer by compari-
son with any Of the other leagues of
the State, while each OF the compon-
ent teams have developed fine PLAYERS
and have prospered to degree un-
dreamed OF before. The league is now
a permanent institution and will take
care OF base ball in this part of the
State for many years to come
alden, town six miles from
Shickshinny, lies contiguous to the
other towns of the league. Thus, like
Danville, it becomes logically the
choice when new accession is con-
templated.
Both towns should feel flattered at
the invitation extended by the league.
Speaking for Danvllie, in view of Its
base ball record. there is no doubt but
that 1t would be able to make good,
aud that, shouli it decline to enter
the league, it would make a mistake.
the result of which would be felt in
Danville for long time to come.

AN Interesting
OLD Deed

Our townsman Benjamin Foulk has
in his possession an old deed bearing
the date of 1774, which transferred a
tract of land called "Yorkshire' from
Thomas and John Penn to an indivi-
dual named Lindsay Coates. The deed
is on parchment and is in an excellent
state Of preservation. Aside from its
extreme age the patent possesses an
additional interest in the fact that ac-
cording to the description The Drincelv
domain purchased for mere song lies
i'll this immediate vicinity, the trick
being merely to determine which of
the farms OF the present Gay compris-
ed the original tract.
The deed states that on November 6.
1918, there was surveyed for LINDSAY
Coates certain tract of land called
" Yorkshire, situated on the east
side of the north least branch Of the
Susquehanna river on the head waters
of the second run above James Log
ans cabin or house, about thirteen
miles from Fort Augusta.
The tract OF land contained 3lS acres
(which were sold with all mines,
minerals, quarries, meadows, marshes,
sagannahs, swamps, cripples, woods,
underwoods, timber and trees, ways,
waters, water courses, liberties, profits.
commodities advantages, &c, also
free leave, right aud liberty TO hawk,
hunt, fish or fowl" in or upon the
thereby granted land.
The fine tract with al the above
appurtenances and liberties was trans
ferred in consideration of the sum of
fifteen pounds and eighteen shillings
lawful money in addition to the year
ly quit rent" sum equal to lone
penny sterling for every aero of the
land - to be paid on the first day of
March each year at Sunbury, North

GUN SAVES
rlAN'S LIFE

Tarring Seidel. who laAt week saved
Master Augustus carp from drowning
in the canal, himself on Tuesday night
came within an ace of losing his life
by breaking through the ice.
He was hunting muskrats and with
gun in hand was crossing the ice on
one of the ponds in Keim's brick yard
near the river. The water in the pond
at several places where the clay has
been eXcavated is over ten feet in
depth.
Mr.. Seidel had just reached the deep
est point when without any warning
the ice gave way and he dropped into
the water. Only a small aperture
was produced and as he sank through
the ice lie kept hold of his gun. This
was all that saved his life,
The gun, held in horizontal posi-
tion, would not go through the APP
erture Though the man sank in over
bis head lie still held on to his gun
and thus was enabled to draw himself
out of the water.

ELKS WILL Assist
Deserving POOR

The local lodge of Elks is planning
to carry christmas cheer" in tangi
BILE and substantial form into scores of
Danville homes wherein dwell needy
and deserving poor.
1t Is purely all Elks charity, the
plan being to collect as much money
rs possible from the mem bers of the
| lodge and to expend it for the neces-
saries of life TO be distributed where
they will do the most good OH Christ
mas. The mem bers think they will
have no difficulty in raising $75 to
800.
The idea is not TO send out Injuries,
but the substantial, necessary things
of life, such rs potatoes, -four, meat,
&c, eXpending about one dollar On a
basket The utmost care will be taken
that the baskets fall into the hands OF
none but the really deserving ones In
order to insure this each pastor of
town will be asked to furnish the
names OF certain number of very
neCessitOus people in his congregation,
in addition to which each member of
the lodge will cast about to fud peo.
pie who are in need OF help.
All the names obtained from these
sources will be handed over TO a COM
mittee appointed last night, which
will further investigate the circum-
stance of each family GU the list.
This laudabie method of gladdeuing
the hearts Of the poor on Christmas is
nothing new in Elkdom and was prac-
ticed by "a mum ber of lodges last year
aud previously. 1t is, however, the
fret time that this precise method of
observing Christmas has been employ
ed by the local lodge, which by the
way, has never been negligent in its
duty toward the poor and friendless
