TOWN PASTORS
FALL IN LINE

The local ministers are much intere-
sted in the movement to make next
Sunday, April 9th, Tuberculosis
Sunday" day ON which in all the
churches the subject of tuberculosis,
the extent Of its ravages and the means
available for combating it, in some
form are to be brought before the con
gregations.
The subject was discussed by the
ministerium Monday, but no definite
action was taken. Following the meet
ing, however, the attention of several
clergymen was called to the news item
appearing yesterday to the effect that
President Taft has approved of max
ing next Sunday tuberculosis Sun
day and each declared his willing
ness to fall in with the movement and
do what he could ON such short notice
to bring the important subject before
his congregation. None were quite
sure just what form his effort would
take. a fact they all deplored was
that they had not been acquainted
with the proposition at an earlier date
to the end that they might have learn
ed just what is expected of them, or
how they might shape their efforts to
accomplish the most in saving human
| life.
! The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
has the movement i'll hand. One or more
of our pastors seem to have received
some literature on the subject, but the
remainder know nothing of the move
ment beyond what they have seen in
the newspapers. So far, however, not
one of our Danville clergymen has
been interviewed but has promptly eX-
pressed himself as willing to observe
tuberculosis Sunday" and with such
means as are at his dispoasl to labor
to carry out the object of the day,

A Pleasant Old Leuend.
All, 81, 2S.

Many years ago. sailing from Con-
stantinople TO Marseilles, we passed
close under the lee of Stromboli, off
the north coast of Sicily. The irrecon-
cilable old volcano was not in active
eruption, but from the crater reddish
smoke was rising, while from the fis-
sures in its sides burst now and again
tongues of lurid fame. "Ah," observed
a sailor-the vessel was an English
one-''old Booty is at it again" So
far as can remember there is a
legend that one Captain Booty, a mas
ter mariner trading to the Mediter-
ranean in the seventeenth century, be-
came so notorious for drinking and
swearing that he was seized upon by
the tiend and carried off to the interior
of Stromboli from which he has con-
tinued ever since to utter profane Ian
guage by means Of tongues of fire and
puffs of smoke. This, however, did
not prevent the ghost of the profane
skipper from frightening his widow,
who resided in Lower Thames street,
half out of her senses by appearing
to her at supper time smelling strong

TWO BURGLAR|ES
MONDAY NIGHT

Burglars were abroad in this city
Monday night, two places being enter
ed They secured no booty, being
frightened away apparently at the
very moment when they might have
gained access to valuables.
One of the places entered was the
warehouse of the Welliver Hardware
company, which was visited by bur
glars last fall, when the safe was blown
open.
On Monday night the burglars did
not succeed in getting into the office.
They entered the warehouse through
the rear window, which they broke
open. They made their way to the
eastern end of the big wareroom where
the offices are located. 1t would have
been an easy matter to have broken
open one of the doors communicating
with the office, which fact suggests
that the robbers were frightened away.
The burglars made an unsuccessful
attempt to force the front door open,
the marks of the jimmy could be plain
ly seen yesterday morning.
The office of Schott's coal yard was
also broken into. Every drawer and
corner was ransacked, but the burglars
found nothing that they seemed to
covet.
1 People residing in the vicinity. about
one o'clock yesterday morning heard
a noise, which, it is believed, was
caused by the burglars, when they
broke into Mr.. Schotts office.
The officers are inclined to believe
that the burglaries were committed 10y
hoboes, who seem to have taken the
town by storm. There is hardly day
but several are run out of the borough
J by the police, but for every one that
/ leaves several others seem to appear.
1t is really a serious problem.
/ They keep out of sight of the police
as far as practicable. They are most
insolent and persistent beggars and it
is frequently all townsman can do
to get out of their clutches, when once
/ they lay siege to him.

UNDER AN UMBRELLA.
An Expensive Adventure of Famous

forced to seek refuge in a doorway of

The rain fell in torrents. There was
no carriage to be had. He had no UNI
brella. What was to be done? While
he was lamenting his bad luck a gen.
tleman with Il large umbrella passed
by. Romieu was seized with a sudden
inspiration. He rushed out and grasp
ed the stranger by the arm and grave.

ing umbrella.

express his surprise ROmieu ratified

he had led the unknown companion to
the door of the Cafe de Paris. Theu
he glanced at him with a face of weA
feigned astonishment.

II believe So" said the stranger.

"Be discreet. Don't repeat what l

and amid great laughter told the ad-
venture to his friends. Suddenly one
of them said:
"Your cravat is rumpled."

turned pale. His pin, n valuable sap
phire, was gone. On further examina-
ton his purse and watch were found
to be gone. The man with the UNI
