ing next summer more improvements
will bc set ON foot, if not completed,
than has occurred in Danville fo1
many wears.
In addition to East Market street
paving, which is assured, Water street,
he says, will be macadam' 2ed and the
river bank will be cleaned up and
beautified. Civic pride, he AYERS, is
not lacking among the citizens of the
southern part of the borough and they
are only waiting until the way is open
and they are shown proper encourage
ment when they will make haste TO
act.
The d L. d W. Railroad company,
it is said, has been heard from in rela-
tion to the old canal, In "A recent let
ter the division engineer has given as
sur&uce that the latter has not been
lost sight of and that during the win
ter all preliminaries will be attended
to so that early in the spring the work
of filling up the abandoned waterway
may begin.
The councilman seemed quite con-
fldent that while paving and macada-
mization of streets are under way next
summer work on the old canal Will al
so be in progress.

SCARLET FEVER
AND D|PHTHERIA

AprOpos of the outbreak Of disease
diphthcria and scarlet fever-which is
interfering with the attendance at
school i'm the second ward DR.. Shultz,
secretary Of the board of health. makes
a statement to the effect that some
half dozen cases were released from
quarantine during the past week. while
only one new case has been reported
Both diphthcria and scarlet fever
have existed i'm the second ward for a
month or more past. At present there
are more cases of scarlet fever than
diphtheria. The total number under
treatment can not be learned at this
time. What ever may be said of con
ditions at present the situation up to
a few days ago was such Us to cause a
great deal of anxiety among parents.
The reassuring statement of the sec
rotary of the board of health, above
quoted therefore, to those people will
prove welcome news.
The school authorities have done
what they deem sufficient to prevent
the spread of the two diseases, dis
missing schools and fumigating rooms
every time new case developed among
the pupils.
The customary precautions employed
by the schools, however, it is charged,
are more than counterbalmccd by the
indifference and neglect of infected
families, whose children although not
permitted to attend school, mingle not
only with other children on the streets,
but also play with the pupils ON the
school grounds at recess and at uther
times.
The violation of all established, COM
omu-sen~e rules has become SO nmor-
Gus and hagraut that citizens rontem-
plate petitioning the board of health

BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE

The person who failed to walk abroad
Sunday missed an opportunity to be-
hold nature in one OF its most unique
and charming aspects. The atmosphere
clarified by the rain of Saturday, seem
ed to possess a peculiar property which
brought out objects situated at a dist
auce clear and distinct
The autumnal foliage, just now at
the height of its beauty, was never
sotn to better advantage. No matter
in which direction one gazed the eve
was arrested by long vistas of rich
warm colors, in which the dark green
of the pine and spruce appeared in
pleasing contrast with russell, gold and
varies shades of red
The especial charm yesterday lay III
the distinctness with which the colors
and the various shades of colorS ap-
peared to the eye. The beauty was all
the more to be admired because it is
so short-lived. Only a day or so re-
mains before the spleDdor will begin
to fade. The gold and crimson, will
give place to the dull hues of the
withered leaf and the next storm that
sweeps down upon us will leave the
branches bare.
