day Yesterday morning mercury stood
at 56 degrees. The atmosphere was
most salubrious and braciug during the

became unpleasant in the extreme. \
raw west wind chilled pedestrians and

beneficial effects, although it did not

THE SECOND

within several days past
The schools, which were ordered
closed by the board of health for a
period of twenty-one days, will reopen
next Monday, at the expiration of the
quarantine period. While some of the
pupils, of course, have been negligent,
Others are making very good use of the

their standing in the end, it is believ-
ed, will not be affected by the loss of
time. The course of the directors in
permitting the pupils to remove the
text books to their homes after fumig-
alton, although it may render a second
disinfection necessary, seems every
where approved by the patrons of the
schools.
The question of whether or not the
teachers be paid for the time the
schools are closed at the last meeting
of the directors, it will be recalled.

that the teachers bring their schools

Some of the property owners have
paid their assessed share of the cost of

SLIPPED ON PAVING

a horse belonging to Barton James,
the Mooresburg merchant, fell on the
Mill street paving Saturday, causing a
great deal of excitement
There was plenty of help at hand
but it seemed impossible to get the
horse to his feet. At every effort to
rise his feet slipped and he fell to the
paving. Finally the animal gave up
altogether.
The occurrence took place near Miss
Johnson's drug store. In short time
about a hundred people had gathered
al the spot. Finally Il blanket was
spread under the horse, which prevent
ed slipping aud enabled him to regain
its feet.

MEETING WAS
WELL ATTENDED

The first regular meeting of the Par
ent-Teacher Association of Danville
was held in the high school room last
night. There was large attendance.
The meeting was called to order by
the president, Mrs. 1. H. jennings.
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read by the secretary, Mrs. West.
The minutes We're approved, after
which DR.. George T. Stock was in
troduced.
DR.. Stocks lecture on "Diphtheria
and Scarlet Fever was an interesting
feature. The subject proved timely
and was handed skilfully much useful
information being impaired
After paying tribute to DR.. Dixon,
who he declared is one of the greatest
scientists of his time, DR. Stock en-
larged upon the work being accom-
plished by the State department of
health Race homicide, the speaker
declared, is worse than race suicide.
Theodore Roosevelt was quoted in his
famous saying that the public health
is a nations greatest asset. "
The speaker dwelt upon the rules
and regulations laid down by the State
department of health for observance in
cases of diphtheria and scarlet fever.
As to scarlet fever, which he pro-
nounced one of the most contagious
diseases known, he said no germ has as
yet been discovered. Diphtheria and
scarlet fever have some points in com
mon and it is fact that an outbreak
of one does not occur unless the other
prevails to some extent in the same
locality.
DR.. Stock illustrated his subject by
colored plates He showed well defin-
ed casse of diphtheria and follicular
tonsilitis, one of which is sometimes
taken for the other To account for
the outbreak in Danville he advanced
the theory that "A child infected with
diphtheria but supposed to have tonsi-
litis, was permitted to attend school
and use the common drinking cup.
The colored plates were also used to
show the appearance of the throat in
scarlet fever; also to illustrate the
manufacture of antitoxin, which is in
strumental to such marked degree in
reducing the death rate i'll diphtheria.
Antitoxin in plain terms is simply
the serum of horse blood. The colored
plates also showed the stables that
figure in the manufacture of anitoxin,
illustrating the cleanliness maintained
and caution exercised both in the care
of the horse and the handling of the
antitoxin. No precaution is omitted
that would aid in making it impossible
for foreign matter of any kind to get
into the antitoxin, thereby producing
deleterious effects in the person ON
which it is usel.
At the co0.',,. ION "r his address DR..
Stock WAS rendered vote of thanks.
In order that the executive commit
tee might he enlarged. Mrs. West, who
had been elected secretary and treasur-
er, rendered her resignation as treasur-
er and in her stead j. Newton Pnrsel
was chosen to that Office As CORE
spending secretary Mrs. L. \. Green
leaf was elected.
The next meeting will be hell on
the third Tuesday in January.

CALHOUN'S BAND
IS ENGAGED

In the matter of music, if in no 9TH
er respect, the Mummers' parade on
New Years promises to surpass every
other demonstration of it's kind held
in Danville. Unless all plans go wrong
there will be no less than five bands
in line.
At the previous meeting negotiations
We're closed with the Catawissa band
and it was settled that we will have
that splendid organization with us on
New Years AT "A meeting of the Num-
mers association held at the Badly
house last evening communication
was read from w. II. Calhoun, man
ager Of the Northumberland band, in
which the receipt of letter from the
Mummers' association was acknowl-
edge, and assurance was given that the
band will accept the terms and will
come to Danville on New Years and
participate i'll the demonstration. Cal
houn's band is one of the leading
musical organizations i'll this section
of the State. Its splendid performances
in this city on the occasion of the Six
County Firemen $ convention last June
Will be recalled with pleasure by ev-
cry lover of music. In his communica-
tion Mr.. Calhoun assured the mum
mers' association that the band would

would labor with the single purpose
of making the Mummers' parade sue

larger than was subscribed last year
will be needed Mr.. Voris stated that,
Judging from the interest and real en-
thusiasm manifested among the peo-
pie. he did not antieinate trouble ia
obtaining all the funds needed
A DEPARTURE
w sss+t .4ass-
At the meeting last night it was de
cided to inaugurate departure this
year, doing away with small prizes in
the form of articles-neckties. hand
kerchiefs, pocket knives and the like
contributed by merchants, which pre-
viously amounted to very little as in
ducements and only served to compli-
cate matters and entail unnecessary
work. \ number of tickets. carried
over from last year and previously,
still remain in the hands of the As
sociation, as the persons drawing the
prizes when they learned what the
articles were did not deem it worth
while to call for them.
The plan this year is to restrict the
prizes to one fifty dollar prize in gold,
which will go to the leading feature,
and to first and second prize for each
of the other features of the parade, say
the best float, the best makeup for man
or woman, and so on. The first prize
will be cash, the second, coal, flour or
the like. In all instances the prize will
be something worth while.
The merchants, therefore this year
are asked to contribute instead of
articles in stock the equivalent in cash.
They may expect visit froIl the soli-
citors at any day.
