CLUB HAS A
REAL OLD CELEBRATION.
Switchboard Match a Feature
of Evening.

Members of the Xavier Catholic Club
celebrated st. Patrick's Day in an in
formal manne at its clubhouse, High
and William streets, last night. While
the affair might be termed Informal it
was rather formal as far as the Celts
who hold a membership in the associa-
tin went, for they managed to win
he much-talked-of Switchboard match
against their German brethren. Each
team played five men and fifteen ends
were shuffled. The total was: Irish
team, SO; German team, SO. The match
was close and exciting throughout. 1t
was due to Curley and Feeney that the
Celts Won for they both managed to
triumph over their Teuton opponents
by safe margins.
Mutually green was the prevailing
color, even the losers wore it. Pat
Feeney, the captain of the winners,
told how proud he felt at being Irish
and Paul Gobel. the German leader,
responded and said nice things about
the winning team and a good word or
two about his teammates. The return
match will be played on Pfngst Mon
day n the Germans claim they'll win
by more than four points.

EASTER B0NNETS
GLADLY RESIGNED
TO WIN STRIKE

Only a woman knows, and only q
ment at having no new bonnet and no
new clothes at Easter, and the woman
who a best tell what 1t means are
the striking members of the United
Hat &Trimmers' Union. who will make
this sacrifice; as they have already
made many others, for the success OF
their fight for a principle they believe
to be right. There is domestic tragedy,
written in italics and capitalized, in
this latest announcement of the loyal
women, but the sacrifice is voluntary
and made gladly on the altar of the
common good.
We don't mind going shabby at
Easter, if we tan win," said one of
the leaders today. IT'S no disgrace
to wear old clothes, but it is disgrace
to give up a fight when we know
that VIC are right and that right should
and endure
In many homes of the strikers the
family eScheGuer is low, and such sac
rifces are necessary to make both ends
meet. In other homes there is no i'm
need, but the women Who have
Jared better than the rank and file,
will share their common misfortune and
give to the cause what they would
otherwise spend on dress.
just now the women are making ar
rangements for a card party, which viii
be held March 20. Plans have not yet
been perfected. The proceeds of the
entertainment will be given to the
cause.

PlCKPOCKETS
WERE BUSY

Some half dozen person were rob
bed while circulating in the crowd in
this city Tuesday. Yesterday our pol
icemen were busy running out clues.
At last accounts there we're no pros
poets of finding the pickpockets.
The heaviest loser was Homer John
son, proprietor of the skating rink at
Bloomsbury, who had his pocket pick
ed OF 800. Three residents OF Danville
were relieved Of their pocket books,
one losing S42 one s2l and one Sl2.
A young man of this city was ar.
rested yesterday morning on a de
scrIption given by woman in Blooms
burg whose pocket book containing
two dollars was stolen while she stood
OH Mill street near James Martin 5
restaurant. The woman had a good
view of the fellow and declared that
she would be able to identify him.
After the arrest yesterday she came
down to Danville. At the first glimpse
OF the man in custody she declared
that he was not the thief. The unfor-
tunate suspect, VINO had been detained
in Jail, was of course released.

SEASON
With VICTORY

The Danville Susquehanpa league
team opened its season on the fine new
ball park that has been built this
spring by the Danville Athletic as.
sociation Tuesday afternoon. The
game was with the Sunbury ex Allan
tic league team, and proved an easy
victory for the locals to the tune of 10
to 2.
A large crowd was present for the
opener and the grounds had all the ap-
pearance OF gala occasion. The Cata.
wiEsa band was in attendance and
opened the festivities with tine Ma
tional anthem. during which every
body (ought to have) stood.
Danville cinched the day first time
at bat by pounding out five runs. Sun
bury never caught up. Two more in
the second, a single one in the fourth
and two in the eighth completed Dan
ville's tally. Sunbury was blanked
until the fourth when Moorehead's
two-bagger started romp that netted
the visitors one point. In the eighth
Aimes put one over the fence, the first
on the new grounds. totaling two for
Sudbury.
McCloud pitched a fine game. His
total of nine stTike.ou and two pass
es, while allowing the visitors but
three singles gives an idea of his steady
work in the box. A number Of good
plays were made, probably the best be-
ing zimmerman 8 single hand catch in
centre. For Sunbury Aimes, the star
left fielder. was easily the best thing
on the team. He scored Sunbury's
two runs and made several pretty
catches in the field.

COUNTERFEITS
WERE FOUND

1t WAS discovered yesterday that a
large quantity of spurious coin in the
form of nickeled pennies were unload
cd in this city on Tuesday.
Pennies are only trifie larger than
silver dimes and when nickeled, on
such an occasion as Tuesday when
there is a rush and money passes free
ly. they may readily be taken for sill

known now. although it may h3 dis
covered later The spurious cciu was
discovered among the money collected
by the taggers and the considerable
number OF rick5led pennies that found
their way into the boxes indicates that
there was large number Of them in
circulation here on Tuesday.
The nickeling was 20 we'll done that
it baffled NJ g. Youngmau, cashier cf
the Dauvilie National bank, where the
money WAS deposited, to tell whether
she coins were composed of nickel or
were merely nickel washed. An ap-
plication OF the proper chemical, how
ever, soon ate away the nickel and re-
vealed the copper.

ODD FELLOWS
attend Church

Folio " ing custom the Odd Fellows
of this city, comprising Montour and
Myrtle lodges, Sunday attended
divine services III body. Some 1S0
mem bers of the order were present,
marching in a body from city hall
where the lodge rooms are located to
the Shiloh Reformed church on Bloom
street, where the services were held.
To comply with the order from the
sovereign grand lodge the subordinate
lodges each year must attend divine
service in a body on the Sunday near
est April Gosh, the anniversary of the
order.
The large body of Odd Fellows Sun
day presented an interesting sight
as they marched double file along the
street. At Shiloh Reformed church
seats were reserved for l60 members of
the order. When the space reserved
was filed there were still Odd Fellows
bers OF the order were finally provid-
ed To-" but many of the regular church
attendants were crowded to the aisles,
where chairs were supplied.
The sermon preached by the pastor,
the Rev. Joseph E. Guy was most
excellent and appropriate one, having
for its theme the motto of the order:
Faith, Hope and Charity" Mr. Guy
also touched with much effect on
Friendship, Love and Truth" the
other motto Of the order.
Mr.. Guy. although not member of
the order, revealed as he proceeded not
only comprehensive knowledge of
Odd Fellowship but also a keen in
terest in its advancement, an appre-
citation Of It's principles as we'll as

the address.

THE PROCEEDS
Of TAG DAY

Tie proceeds of 'tag day" held In
conjunction with the Odd Fellows an
niversary on Tuesday, amounted to
some two hundred and fifty dollars.
Tag day is a new institution in Dan
Vile and if the sum realized is not SO
large as some had in mind the partial
failure is to be attributed TO lack of
experience in this particular method
of obtaining contributions from the
public. There was no end of difficult
and exacting work connected with tag
day and those who were in any way
connected with the proposition are
credited with dischaTgiDg their duty
to theabest of their ability.
The central committee consisting Of
Mrs. 7. ]. Price, Mrs ". L. Slider,
Mrs. o. NJ. Leniger aud Mrs Ed
ward PuTpur were on hand at the head
quarters in the Brown building early
in the day and remained On duty until
night. In all there were 116 taggers
employed. Many of.these were very
young and naturally did not possess
the tact that enabled them 60 approach
all classes of persons with equal sue
cess. The most inexperienced and
timid, however, lsbored diligently and
conscientiously and are entitled to
much credit for the part they played
on the occasion of tag day"
The largest sums were collected By
the Misses Isabella aud Marion Schoch,
$22.79 and sl7.26. respectively. The
next highest was $l1.0S. collected by
Miss Minnie Cohen; the next in order
was s6. 81, collected.by Miss Margaret
Vincent. Others who obtained 26 and
a fraction were Bobby Erwin and the
Misses Pauline and Alice Waite.
a few things relating to tag day
have been learned by experience and
II this method Of raising money should
ever be employed in Danville in the
future it is likely that few changes
will be inaugurated.
Very few persons at all approach
able escaped being tagged on Tuesday.
Among the contents of the boxes, how
ever, were found thousands of pennies
and as nearly as many nickeIs, which
suggests that large number Of per
sons did not.psy very literally for the
privilege of wearing a tag.
