ORPHEUS CLUB
IS REORGAN|zED

The Orpheus Glee Club, the disband-
ment of which was noted in these col
umns some weeks ago, has reorganized
on broad substantial basis that re-
lieves it of all handicaps and insures
for it a long career of usefulness.
The club as reorganized will be com
posed of persons interested in the gen
eral advancement of music. 1t includes
among its members the most gifted
vocalists in this section and the aim
is to make it musical organization
that will compel recognition.
The constitution and bylaws pro-
vide for nominal dues as well as a
penalty III all cases where members are
absent three meetings in succession
without a reasonable excuse.
The officers of the club are as fol-
lows: President, Irwin Vannan; vice
president, John Henning; secretary,
DR.. c. Raymond Harrington; trea-
surer, Frank A. Brown; conductor,
Dr. G. y. Stock

G.. A. Stock, DR.. c. Raymond Herring
ton, Harry Titley, J. b. Mccoy, Leon
ard Foulk, Frank A. Brown, Irwin
Vannan, John Henning, @. @. Ritter,
Carl Snavely.
The club meets in Y. M. @. A. Hall
each Tuesday evening for practice.
The members are showing the proper T
spirit and thus far there has been
good attendance at the meetings.
1t is realized that larger member
ship is needed than the club has at
present and an effort is being made to
interest large number of people. In
town such as Danville, where there
are so many music-loving people there
should be no difficulty in enlisting a
much larger number of people in the
movement to promote good music. The
News gladly voices the sentiments of
the reorganized club in full confidence
that the appeal for larger support will
meet with speedy and favorable re-
ponse

LIFE--PRESERVERS

Druggist o. NJ. Leniger Tuesday
received two first-class life.preservers,
for use ON his model house boat that
last summer was such prominent
figure among river craft and which
will be utilized the coming season to
still greater extent in seeking enjoy
ment on the river.
On his cruises up and down the riv-
er Mr.. Leniger is frequently accom-
panied by little parties; they often
reach deep water, where an accident
might imperil the lives of many, if
life preservers were not available.
Either of the two received Tuesday
would be sufficient to prevent several
persons from drowning.

HIS OLD HOME

Frank DeGreen, a native of Derry
township, this county, is revisiting his
old home after an absence of many
years.
MIR. DeGreen, who is a brother of
William A. DeGreen of Derry town
ship, left here in 1878, when still a
young man. For some ten years he
was resident of Butte, Montana.
About that time he visited the east and
after protracted stay with relatives,
in 1899, he returned to the west, settl-
ing at Globe, Ara. in the midst of the
great gold mining region.
Mr.. DeGreen is a great admirer of
the West, and during an interview at
the Heddens House Saturday. talked
most entertainingly on the mineral
wealth of that locality, the state of
society there, etc.
At Globe are located number of
the great mining propositions whose
names are familiar in the East. In
deed, Mr.. DeGreen states that during
the last two years and four months NO
less than $16, 600, 900 of Eastern capital
have been invested in the mines at
Globe. The Old Dominion mines, in
which S., 600, 900 are invested are locat-
ed there. There also are the Black
Warrior mines, in which So, 600, 900 are
invested as well as the Live Oaks and
many other valuable mines.
The Miami Copper company there is
putting up one of the largest reducing
concentrators in the world
Mr.. DeGreen says that at Globe the
days of wild cat'' mining are over.
Perfectly reliable information concern
ing every mining proposition can be
obtained by corresponding with the
board of trade, which has the good
reputation of its town at heart and
would hot stand for anything like
false representation. Globe has pop
ulation of about l3, 900.

10000 POST CARDS

Thirty thousand of the new MoKin-
ley post cards have been received at
the local post office. 1t is believed
that Danville is the first place outside
of the larger cities to receive the
cards. The order for 30, 900 cards was
sent to the department from Danville
a week ago, with the special request
that the new issue be sent.
The cards are of blueish tint with
print of deeper blue. The profile of
the martyred president appears in an
oval in the center of the card, with
the words "U. S. Postal Gard" above.
The card is very neat and attractive in
appearance.

will ue placed on sale until the stock
OF old cards is exhausted.

SHOW UP GOOD
FOR FIRST GAME

Of course Danville won-that but
wasn't the main point, although they
did come pretty near to puncturing
the gall sack in the eighth and ninth
innings. The real, vital interest that
took between seven and eight hundred
lady and gentlemen fans to the ball
park Saturday afternoon was not to
discover if Danville could win from
Wyoming seminary, but to see if the
bunch of players that has been round
ed up in the local corral will measuI o
up to the requirements of winning
Susquehanna league team for this sea-
son.
There is no lack of opinions on the
subject, and the practically unanimous
verdict is that, for a first game, the
recruits gave about as likely an ex-
hibition as the most exacting fan could
expect.
Now that does not mean that the
disposition is to entirely overlook the
rather raw work in several of the
playing over the field that resulted in
tho Seminary scoring in the eighth and
ninth. 1t was a first game, and that
is no time to look for playing with a
mid season finish.
Danville opened with three runs
Livergood reached first when Bartree
,nrHa6 bio ripbt fald 1riya Wa1uar
(whose first name shall henceforth be
called Hans) drove the first hit of the
season, slashing grounder through
short; Veith selected four balls, load
ing the cushions. With Nipple at bat
the signal was given to bunt and work
the squeeze; Livengood started home
with the pitch but the batter missed
and the runner was caught at the
plate. Nipple then hit to right field
scoring two runs. Hagy then drove
one over second and scored Nipple, and
himself was caught at second retiring
the side. Again in the second, fourth
and sixth Danville Tailed.
The Seminary's scoring was confin-
ed to the last two innings, but in that
short time they made things pretty in
teresting and had the nervous ones
holding their breath.
The eighth opened with a pass to
Mayock and Willoughby followed with
drive to the left field fence for two
bases, scoring Mayock. BARRIERS reach
ed first ON Livengood's wide throw III
fielding his bouncer to short; Will
loughby scored when Hagy muffed
Rowe's throw to first to catch BARRIERS.
The side was retired without further
damage.
Bartree opened the ninth with siz-
zling hit that graZed the third bag
Bell reached first station on Hagy's er-
ror; Diamond hit to right, scoring
Bartree; Mayock got a life on Liven-
goods error and Bell scored on the
play; Willoughby drove fly to Nit
chell in left field who returned it to
the plate and caught Diamond trying
to score on the fly; completing pretty
double. With Mayock still on base,
| BARRIERS reached first on Livengood' S
error, and things were looking rather
shaky around the edges when Conway
laid hot one down to the pitcher 5
box which Rowe neatly turned to first
and stopped the procession.

DEDICATION OF
- GRANGE HALL

The commodious hall being built by
Valley grange, No. 1884, at Fenster-
macher's corner, is rapidly approach
ing completion, and on June 1st will
be dedicated. Pomona Grange, No. 81,
embracing Montour and Northumber-
land counties, June 1st, on the occas-
ion of its quarterly session will meet
with Valley grange, thereby adding
much to the interest of the dedication.
|: Valley grange formerly met in a
small building, rented for the purpose,
not far from the site of the new hall,
which occupies lot of ground pur-
chased of Levi V. Boyer. The hall is
24x40 feet, two stories high, with metal
roof. J. A. Merrill is master of Valley
grange and has held that position ever
since the grange was established.

grange, or some one appointed in his
stead, will be in charge of the exercises
ON the occasion of the dedication.
Prominent speakers will be on hand
and an extended and appropriate pro-
gram will be rendered.
The grange has taken deep root in
Montour county, embracing among its
members many of our most intelligent
and prosperous farmers. The grange
was established in Montour county in
the early 70's. Washingtonville grange,
which now meets at Strawberry
Ridge, was the first established. Dan
Vile grange, No. 81, which now meets
at Grovania, was also one of the first
