"SIR, YOU GAVE ME
$45,000 TO MUCH."
Boy Discovers Cashier's Error and
Promptly Returns the Money.
Louisville,—Yell have given me
$45,000 too much money," said Harry
11. Cassln, as he returned to the
Southern National Hank a package of
bills which had been given to him
as $5,000 and which really contained
$50,000.
Caaaln is only sixteen years old and
ia employed as a runner by the First
National Hank. He surrendered the
fortune which had come into his
hands through a mistake as calmly as
if he had been correcting a mistake
in change nt a lunch counter.
He is a son of Henry F. Cassin
United Stales Commissioner, and has
been at work only a short time. He
was sent to the Southern National
Hank with a check for $32,900, and
presented it for payment to 11. I).
Ormsby, the cashier. Mr. Ornisby
made the payment iu batches of bills
oach containing SSOO. He counted out
sixty-live of tho packages and paid
the remaining SIOO In loose bills.
While checking olt the count of Mr.
Ormsby, C'tissin noticed that one of
the packages was different in appear
ance from the rest and took it up to
examine it more closely. To his sur
prise, he found that it was marked
'•$50,000."
"It was a very natural mistake,"
said the boy, ' and any person ia
likely to make the same kind of a
blunder in handling bills which have
been assorted and placed in packages.
It did not occur to me that there was
anything remarkable iu tho experi
ence, and I immediately returned the
billa to their proper owner."
Well Done.
Last Friday Danville experienced
quite an interesting treat —it it may
be termed a treat to witness a multi
tude of souls exerting themselves to
their utmost to accomplished that
which must be done in a certain
length of time, that, under ordinary
circumstances would require just
again as long.
Mr. Pascoe, the contractor for con
structing the trolley line between this
city and Bloonisburg, in order to
overcome difficulties that were sure to
arise in an attempt to extend his line
from Market street to the river bridge,
prearranged for his band of Italians
to start with Friday's early morn and
complete the job before they quit, al
lowing them two days' wages for the
one day's work.
The brawny men from Italy's
sunny land started with a vim to ac
complish the work, and never did a
more determined crowd of persona
exert themselves, at manual labor,
than did this. The work was finish
ed by evening —anil well done—but
not before the expected trouble ap
peared.
About half past one the Danville-
Suubury company served an injunc
tion, restraining them from trespass
ing on what they claimed to lxi their
right of way, but our wide-a-wake
pride of the bar, Jas. Scarlet, soon
iiad the matter properly adjusted and
work went onto the end. Fifteen
minutes work was suspended but in
that time Mr. .Scarlet convinced the
Court, a special session of which was
called for this case, that it required a
Judge's signature or the signatures of
both associates to make an injunction
legal—these could not be gotten. Of
course there was no use to wait, so
the job was finished.
The Italians, in this hard day's
work, expressed their appreciation to
their employer in the most befitting
manner possibly by overcoming an
obstacle that might have cost a great
delay and exjiensc to him. They
proved to the general public that
they liked their boss and were glad to
make a sacrifice for him. At the
close of the day's work they cheered
anil demonstrated as if they had won
a great victory, ami they had, too.
The general public's sympathies
were with the Danvillc-Bloomsburg
people all through and will be to the
end, for the work they are doing is
enough evidence to show that they
mean business and are determined to
Tomorrow (Saturday) a session of
special court will be held to act upon
the existing trouble al Bloom street
crossing between the trolly company
and the Heading Railroad Com
pany.
Labor Day, Rest Day.
Next Monday, September 5, is
Labor Day, the day that has be
come popular for all classes to observe.
Danville will not forget to observe
the event and extensive prope rations
are now on foot to make this a great
gala day.
All industries will suspend, busi
ness houses will be closed and the
sons of toil will high away with their
wives, sweethearts and families to
breathe a day of relief, satisfaction
and jollification among the zephyrs
that thrill the heart of nature.
At Hunter's Park a monster picnic
will be held. This pleasure place so
snugly located on a gently sloping in
cline, on whose breast the invigorat
ing pines bend low their bows and
branches, is becoming more and more
popular. Scarcely a day passes but
that some social gathering congregates
there. The cottages there erected are
all taken until cold weather appears,
and many tents besjieck the green
verdure with their whiteness. This
popular place has great ail vantages in
its favor iu the shape of having an
up-to-date livery attached, which is
conducted by Mr. Hunter and his
sou, Charles, a pleasing and agreeable
young man, and it is only a question
of a short time until the trolley peo
ple extend their line to it anil to
Mansdale.
Labor day is rest day.

A CASE OF 006 EAT DOG.
Perry County Farmer Found a Garter
Snake and a Frog Which Were Try
ing to Swallow Each Other.
Among the data which have been
sent to State Zoologist Surface for
the proposed reptile book arc some
from a Perry county farmer whose
veracity, the professor says, cannot
be questioned.
The farmer found on hix premises a
garter snake which was trying to
swallow a frog. At the same time
the frog was trying to swallow the
garter snake.
The snake had already succeeded in
getting an entire hind leg of the frog
down his throat and the frog had suc
ceeded in putting out of sight several
inches of the tail of the snake.
Hoth the reptile and the amphibian

LIGHTNING SPEED.
When Col. Prentiss Ingraham, of
Chicago, died in Iteauvoir, Miss.,
Tuesday night the most prolific pro
ducer of fiction in Ihe world passed
away.
This is the record of his output:
Six hundred novels, averaging 70,-
000 words each. 42,000,000 words.
Four hundred novelettes, averag
ing 10,000 words each. 4,000,000
words.
Annual output, 1,853,944.
Daily output, 3,708.
Hourly output, 154.07.
Capacity per minute, every hour of
the day lor twenty four hours, 2.24.
The foregoing does not include
verses, magazine articles, newspaper
sketches and miscellaneous matter
that might easily have brought up
Col. Ingrnbam'a daily average to
4,000 words.
For years he wrote a novel every
two or three weeks. There were
whole libraries of them, and many
only appeared as serials. He aver
aged 10,000 a year, and much of the
money was lost in speculation. Not
nil his works were "potboilers" The
"Land of Legendary Love," •'Monte

among intelligent persons.
Bobbed in Philadelphia.
Samuel Hoffman, of llughcsville,
was way laid, chloroformed and robbed
of a Rood sizoil sum of mouoy in Phil
adcplhia last wook. iio weut to the
oity early in the wook to purchase a
horse for himself aud ouo for Wilson
Fry. the liveryman at that place. Hit
had bought Fry's horse and was oil his
way to his hotel at six o'colok, when,
in passing a small streot, a man dart
ed out, pinioned his arms aud stack a
chloroform handkerchief to his nose,
Mr. Hoffman recovered consciousness
3 hours later. He found himsolf at his
hotel,having been recognized aud taken
thore by partios who had soon liiui in
tht>t vicinity. All of his money was
gone. Another man was robbed in the
same way, in the same neighborhood,
earlier in the evening.
It is supposod that the robbers hud
spotted Mr. Hoffman when he paid for
Fry's horse, and laid in wait for hinj
as he caine along on Ilia way to his
hotel.
Mr. Hoffman arrived home on Sat
urday, and is naturally badly cat up
over the loss of his money.
The Octton drop,
Some fears haviugboen exprossed iu
the South that there would not be
labor enough to piok the oottou crop
if it Bhould be BO great as it promises.
The Amorican Cotton Manufacturer,
of (Jharlotte, N. C., says that cotton
will not bo worth loss than seven
iiunts, aud that at that prioe planters
are not going to let the crop goto
waste. They cau get all the pizkers
they need if they will pay enough.
At seveu cents a ponnd a bale of SCO
pounds of lint cotton would bo worth
$35, besides |7 for the seed. Tlmt in
volves picking 1500 pounds of seod cot
tou, for which the ordinary price is
thirty to forty cents a hundred. But
if the farmer paid a dollar a hundred
it woold only cost him sls to get his
bale picked. Bagging and ginning cost
$1.50, making SKi.SO for a bain worth,
with the seed, $42. It is predicted that
the fanners would pay more than a
dollar rather than lose the cotton. At
a dollar n hundred laborers eould make
SI.OO to $3 a day.

ROBBED ON RAILROAD
TRAINS IN BROAD DAY
Two Travelers Held Up as They Board
Cars and Their Money Stolen.
As Lazarus Moyer, a wholesale
liquor dealer of tSO Herman street,
Germautown, Philadelphia, boarded a
Philadelphia and Heading passenger
train at noon Monday his passage
was blocked by two men who stood iu
the doorway.
"Why do you olwtruot the way ?"
indignantly ijueried Moyer.
"Wait! wait!" exclaimed one ot
the men, and, after a hasty glance
around, he quickly reached into the
astounded Moyer's inner vest pocket
and pulled out a wallet containing
$. r )0 in cash and checks and notes
amounting to SB7.
The men knocked Moyer aside,
ran through the car ahead and es
caped.
At the Pennsylvania station at
Sunbury, the same morning, William
Ulsh, of Liverpool, was robbed of
SSO iu exactly the same manner, and
in the presence of a large crowd of
travelers and others.
MODERN WAYS IN JAPAN.
"Ladies in Japan do not wear jew
elled rings." I wish to correct that
into *'Ladles of old Japan," &c. If
you but try to look at a tiny hand of
any girl in a well to-do family of
present day Japan—a hand coming
out of a scarlet-lined sleeve —you will
easily find a jewelled ring or rings on
her fingers. Jewels we had none be
fore, but we prize them just the
same. As to the wearing of rings,
even gentlemen are often seen with a
thick gold ring made out of an old
Japanese coin called •'koban." The
study of the introduction of a new
custom is interesting. In the case of
j "snow-white pillows, n they were
first used in hospitals, where we
adopted everything from the West as
it was. We did not have sheets for
our beds along with that, but clean
ness recommended itself to the Jap
anese, and the custom was readily
followed by those who took a fancy to
It. As to kissing, it is rather deli
cate to touch on, but it caunot be
dismissed with a general statement
that "in affection and love the Japan
ese are outwardly undemonstrative."
All depends upon circumstances.
Generally speaking, we shun the eyes
of the public to be demonstrative, or
to seek the occasion when all can
join with us. Kissing as practiced
in the West is still strange to us, but
no one who kuows about it would
wonder if a young couplo of modern
Japan should take to it to express
their love.
Why Our Athletes Won.
(Prom the London Truth.)
The Yale and Harvard University
athlete uo longer wears long hair
parted down the middle. Relieved of
this artistic burden he easily heats the
men of Cambridge and Oxford. I
heartily congratulate the men of Vale
and Harvard on their victory iu the
sports at the Queen's (Hub. There
was no element of luck nlxmt it.
They thoroughly deserved their win
just as much as the Oxford and Cam
bridge men deserved defeat. I make
absolutely no excuse for their defeat.
In any comments that 1 make on the
performances it must not be consider
ed that I wish in any sense to dero
gate from the merits of the Ameri
cans' success. The Americans were
beautifully trained and capable of
getting the last ounce out of themsel
ves in each event, evcu in those iu
wnich they were outclassed. The
Englishmen, on the other hand, just
lacked that finish, and, as I anticipat
ed, suffered from want of sufficient
racing experience. Indeed in the
long-distance running our men were
distinctly disappointing. Apparent
ly they had tried to do iu a month
what ought to have taken a couple of
months. They had only trained for a
month.

Must Have Public Sympathy.
In Collier's Weekly for August 20,
1904, John Mitchell, the President of
the United Mine Workers of America,
savs:
"My experience has been that the
commission of crime on the part of
strikers or their friends reduces the
chances of success. A strike of any
considerable magnitude can not well
succeed unloss it have the sympathy
and support of the general public,
and when a strike resolves itself into
an armed conflict the public very
properly withdraws its sympathy.
That employers of labor understand
full well the injury to strikers which
follows violence is shown by the fact
that not infrequently during labor
disturbances thugs are employed to
provoke strikers into the commission
of some unlawful art."

How They Say Good-Bye.
'•When I left Manila," said a
sailor, "a Filipino lady saw me off.
Do yon know how she said good-bye ?
Why, she rubbed my face with her
hand.
"Rubbed my face with her hand,
by Crinns ! I looked around the
wharf ami that is how all the natives
were saying good-bye to one another.
T and the rest of the voyagers by
the time we got off had our faces all
rubbed raw.
"In Fiji they say good-bye by
crossing two red feathers under your
nose.
"The Burmese crouch down and
shout 'Hib nib!'
"The South Sea Islanders wear
farewell necklaces when good-byes
are to be said. These necklaces are
made of whales' teeth. To say good
bye each islander rattles with his
fingers the teeth of the other's neck
lace.
"The Sioux Indian digs his spear
in the ground as a sigu of farewell.
"In Otaheite they twist the end of
your garment and then shake their
own hands three times."—Philadel

The Cost of Firing Cannon.
!Krom U'slh-N Weekly.)
Somo idea of the cost of modern
warfare can lie arrived at by taking a
Japanese warship like the Kaluga or
Nyssbin and calculating the number
of shots she would discharge. The
tirst-namcd'ship carries four cannon
which cost $30,000 each. One of
these guns can (ire two shots per
minute, and every shot COSIB $400;
thus in live minutes these four can
discharge forty bombs at a cost of
$16,000. The smaller cannon cost
each SIB,OOO, and every shot they fire
means an expenditure of S7O. They
are very rapid, audit is estimated
that In five minutes the twelve can
non could discharge shot to the value
of nearly $35,000.

And Now a "Pow-Wow" Arlis
Claims Credit for it AH Says
i He Used the Occult.
Willianuport, l'a., Aug. IK.—A
1 quantity of sllverwnre stolen sovcral
weeks ago from thu home of S. Paul
hamus, near Cogan •Station, this
county, l>y burglars who chloroform
ed the family, was returned last
night, being left on the porch of the
house with a letter, in which the
writer apologized fur the robbery and
said he would never steal again.
A demonstrator of the "pow-wow"
and other occult sciences, who was
employed by Paulhamus, claims to
have been the means of restoring the
stolen articles. He says the robbers
hail gone as far na \\ est Virginia,
when he brought them back with the
goods.
The ''pow-wow" man says he may
try to compel Ihe surrender of Sher
man Jamison, the fugil ve accused of
the murder of Constable Deeghan,

GATES LOSES HEAVILY IAT FARO
tic and Ills Companion I cove $27,000
at a Saratoga Clu » Mouse.
Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 21—John W.
Gates and John A. Drale created ex
citement at, tho Chicngo Club last
night by playing faro fur l>igh stakes
and losing $27,000.
They were told when tney entered
the clubhouse that the limit was
SIOO.
"That is too small," said Gates.
"Make it $250 to eases and SSOO to
doubles, and wo will go you."
Ralph Croker, the backer of the
club, protested that the limit was too
high, but two bookmakers, Ullman
and Blumenthal, offered to take half
the risk in order to ••give Gates all
the action he wanted," and th«; game
proceeded.
Gates and Drake had hard luek
from the start, and when they hud
lost some thousands Gates wanted
the limit taken oil' altogether. This
was refused, but, as a compromise,
the limit was made SSOO to eases and
SIOOO to doubles.
At one time Gates and Drake were
fl.'j,ooo out, but they won back $lB,-
000, and at the end of live hours play
ing they left $27,000 poorer than
when they started.
MR. BAKER HAS A VISION.
It Is Roosevelt and Booker T. Wash
ington for 1908.
From the Washington Post.
Editor Post: As a colored man I
wish to call attention to the dillei
ence between the Republican and the
Democratic Natioual Conventions,
At the Republican convention the
colored man was treated as a compan
ion, friend, and brother. There he
was made to feel as if he were not
only a political, but a social equal.
The delegates followed the advice and
example of our beloved President
Theodore Roosevelt, who teaches that
the colored man deserves to be tieat
ed as a social equal. To emphasize
this fact, he had the courage to have
at his table Prof. Booker T. Washing
ton. If Roosevelt is elected it will so
encourage the colored men that we
will demand that Prof, looker Wash
ington shall be the Republican candl
! date for Vice President in 1908.
Let not my colored brethren forget
that scene in the Republican conven
tion when a beautiful white girl was
placed upon the stage, and by her
side a negro bov. They then placet!
Jlags in their hands and allowed them
to lead tho cheering, thus making
the first and grandest ex unplc of the
equality of the races that history re-
COl'lls.
In the Democratic con\ cntion there
was not a single colored man. It was
in word and in deed a white man's
party. All hail to Roosevelt, who
has given the poor negro so much to
encourage him to persist in his poli
tical and social rights.
