INTELLECTUAL AND
SPIRITUAL TREAT

A great intellectual and spiritual
treat awaits the good people of Dan
Vile. Bishop John Ii. Vincent of the
Methodist Episcopal church, the faith
er OK the Chautauqua idea. and tie
honored head of the Chautauqua Lit
erary and Scientific circle since its in
auguration thirty years ago, will con-
duct "Seven Days Study in Church
Life" in st. Paul's Methodist church,
beginning Wednesday, February 10th.
The Bishop will lecture every after
noon at 4 100 o. clock, and every even
ing at 500 O'Clock
On Sunday morning he will preach
aud in all probability speak in the Y.
NJ. O. A. to men on Sunday afternoon.
"It will be the aim of this series OF
meetings to promote spiritual results:
the increase of personal faith, the
deepening of the sense of personal res
possibility. a steady aud habitual sur
render of the life to God and to the
service of man, and the acceptance Of
God S grace according to the exceed
ing great and precious promises of his
word - The Bishops mission, it is
therefore plain to see, will in effect be
to Christians Of every name. and to
people Of all classes. He is undoubt-
edly the most widely known of all
Methodist bishops, while his broad
sVmDathieS and oenDina catbOlicitV of
spirit and deep spirituality endear
him to all who come in contact with
him. His presence among us for a
week, and his labor of love in his
| chosen field. ought to be regarded as a
notable event in the religious life of
! the community, and ought to attract
to his meetings Christians Of all de.
nominations.
From all places where Bishop Vim
cent has held meetings come enthusi.
astic testimonies TO the great spiritual
uplift that attends his work, and it is
| hpoed that his mission in Danville
will result in quickening of the
spiritual life and activities of hun
dreds of our people. Bishop Vincent
has always been interested in young
people, and never more so than now,
in his mellow and beautiful old age.
The young people of DanvilIe ought
to throng to his meetings. They will
be better for seeing and hearing him.

STATE MUST FEAR
ONE-hALF EXPENSE

At the meeting of officers of third
class cities, held at Harrisburg last
week, interest largely centered in the
sewage disposal bill, which as finally
approved by the committee provides
that the state shall pay one-haf the
expense of constructing plants and
one.h half of all necessary additions
thereto, and renewals thereof The
BILL as originally drafted carried
with it an appropriation of $4,000, 000
but after consideration it was realized
that to ask for an appropriation Of
such a large amount at this time
might result in the measure being
killed and the figures were put at
$3.50 600. This amount, it is believed
will be sufficient to meet all demands
for the next two years, as little work
will be done in that time on the act
ual construction Of plants, the prin-
0ipal expense now being in the prep
aration of plans. which must lie borne
by the municipalities Affected.
WORK TO BE DONE JOINTLY.
Section two of the proposed act pro.
vides that the work of constructinr
sewage disposal plants shall be done
by contract in the joint names of the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
the respective municipalities affected.
Bids are to be forwarded to the com
missioner of the state department of
health, with the finding and recon-
mendation of the city or borough coun-
ellis as to whom the bid should be
awarded as the lowest responsible bid
der. Both the state department Of
health and the city shall have tine
right to reject any or all bids il they
consider the same unreasonable or II
the prices named are materially higher
than the estimated cost OF the work
provided.
HOW PAYMENT IS TO BE MADE.
The states one half part of the ex-
pense of constructing sewage disposal
plants is to be paid by the state treas
urer upon warrant of the commission
er of the state department of health
attested by the chief engineer of the
department. and the city's share as
provided by law Partial payment is
to be made as the work progresses
from time to time, on estimates OF the
completed work, as approved by the
commissioner of the state department
of health, but not more than two
thirds of any such estimate shall be
paid in advance of the final complet-
ion.
In cases where city or borough
has already built or now has in course
plant the bill provides that the state
shall reimburse such city or borough
to the extent of one half of the actual
present value of such plant.
WILL BEGIN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN.
1t was decided by the committee of
solicitors to at once begin an active
campaign with the object of securing
support for the bill by members of the
house and senate. Printed copies will
be sent to the officials of every city
and borough in the state and they
will be asked TO use their influence
with the legislators to secure its pas
sage.

FULTON'S BLUNDER.

That Fulton is now out of the race
for the new federal judgesh'p is ad-
m!tted by his supporters Seemingly
one will be named for that position
who has a reputation as lawyer
rather than as politician.
In seeking this appointment ex-
senator Fulton made a mistake and
so did his friends who backed him
for the place. His record is not such
as to make him a good candidate for
a federal judgeship. He should have
foreseen that his candidacy would
reuse a storm of protest that wouli
make his appointment impossible.
But Fulton has never been a fac
seeing politician, He has never been
able to see beyond the narrow circle
in which he moves. Accordingly he
has been out of sympathy with the
majority of people Of the state. Then
his attitude upon certain vital sub
jects, such as the selection of sem
ator by a pledged legislature, has been
such as to make people distrust him.
The principal cause of Fulton's
downfall was that he learned the po-
litical game under the old rules ana
refused to change his methods after
the old system Of wirepulling and ma
nipulation had been done away with.
To the end of his official career he
travelled with politicians rather than
with the people and as a result he is
down and out.
