I The following from Monday's Har risbnrg Telegraph will be of interest at thi9 time: "The Legislature just ended made no change In the law relating to Ash ing for trout," said Fish Commission er Meehau today, "and those who go out to oatch the speckled beauti*s —I believe that is what yoa call 'em need have no apprehension that there have been changes. A man can catch but fifty trout in oue day, and if he catches any more on that day he pays ten dollars for each one over the fifty. These stories of big trout catches will stop hereafter, and.you will no longer hear of how a man whipped a stream and in a few hours caught a couple of hundred trout. That is the kiud of a story this department Investigates,and if fouud true the offender is hauled up for violating (he law. "Last year we hunted down a story from Altooua to the effect that two men had caught several hundred trout in oue day, Hnd discovered that the big oatch originated in the nimble fancy of an Altoona reporter aud we took that gentleman before a justice of peace and made him take a oath that he would uever again tell a lie like that and put the department to trouble. ' No trout less than six inches long can caagTiT and a fisherm an must throw back into the stream any trout that he catches smaller than that. An to fishing for trout ou Sun day, that is a matter that has not yet been thrashed out ill the Superior court, where it now is. A law passed in 1870 forbade Sunday fishing, hut it is a question win ther the new law of 1901 did not repeal it, and the court now has it under consideration. "It will b3 lawful to catch trout only with rod, iiook aud liue. Any other way is illegal. No nets can be used in taking trout. The question has been raised a* to whether more thau one hook may be used on a line, aud we are inclined to think that the use of three hooks is legal, aud we have so instructed our wardens,so that there will be no arrests made for using more than one hook."

GENERAL COXE7 JBANKROPT An exchange prints the following: "General" JacobS. Coxey, former ly of Danville, he of "army" fame, is now in the midst of bankruptcy pro ceedings, bot calls it merely an ac oideut. His debts are 1385,000, but they are not much higher than in his first tailuio, and he emerged from that triumphant tie can do it again, he -ays.

Hon. James Foster, Chairman of the Soldiers' Monument Committee,yester day stilted that the solicitors are re* porting very satisfactory progress. At least oue more additional large sob soription is in sight, while the masses are responding in a way that reflects well upon their liberality aud patriot ism. The solicitors, it seems, have been the most active in the Third Ward where canvassing is nearly completed. It is this ward which seems to form a criterion, nearly every person ap proaohed subscribing some thing. All that is required is for the people of the other wards to do as well and the Soldiers' Monument will be assured. In the Second and Fourth Wards the solicitors have not carried the work so far, but the results have beau most gratifying. lu the First Ward the solicitors have doue the least work, but Mr. Foster states that from now ou the committee will push canvassing and the residents of this part of town may expect to be called upon during the present week or next. | Annual Literary Contest.

It proved nearly an all-day job for the linemen. The plan adopted was the nsnal one of digging another hole alongside the pole nearer to the buildings and when a sufflcieut depth had been attained to foroe the pole, heavily loaded with wires, over into the new hole where it wonld be oot of the way of the onrb. Iu attempting to sink a hole yester day a onrioos discovery was made. A depth of several feet had been attain ed less than a yard away from the pole when an opening appeared under the digging implements and one of the men remarked they were in good luck, as they had just uncovered an old post hole, wiiioh could be reopened with little difficulty A "post hole" it proved to be indeed, one that conld have nearly swallowed the big pole and several others like it. The open ing was au old well, whioh having served its day and generation in the early days of the town was covered over some time in the past and the spot from time to time filled upas required by the improvements on the street. The well was found to be securely walled up and so far as conld be de termined by the linemen was very dpep. The opening was re-covered and auuther spot alongside the well select ed for the pole. Men of advanced years who have lived in Danville all their lives sdein to have no reoollectlon of the well, whioh undoubtedly was maintained in connection with the Union Hall hotel in the earlier part of its history. It would not be strange If the old well passed out of use fifty years or more ago. A Fatal Encounter. An episode which occurred in the Kentnoky Mountains and one that is causing muoli newspaper comment, is a raid on a band of moonshiners that terminated in a thrilling and fatal en counter.

This oombat between brave and fear less men takes place nightly with sncli realism as to appear to be life itself at the Lyman H. Howe Moving Piotures. Howe's Moving Pictures will appear in this city on Saturday, April 29th.

SECURING JURY TO TRY ACTRESS NEW YORK, April 19.—Three jurors were in the box this morning when the trial of Nan Patterson, the chores girl,charged with murder, was resum ed before Recorder Goff and counsel expressed the opiuion that the surpris ing expedition with which the ex amination was proceeded with yester day gave ground for the hope that the jury box will be filled by tomorrow night. Counsel on both sides have restrict ed their questions to tlie narrowest point and no time is being lost in use less quibbling. Nan Patterson pays the same keen, eager attention to the selection of the jurors that she did on the two pre vious trials. She listens to each ques tion and answer carefully and indioate the counsel whether the juror will be acceptable. Yesterday she turned down a tales man, who was acceptable to both counsel. The talesman in question was apparently desirable to both sides and was about to be accepted when Nan turned to Mr. Levy and said: "I do not want him. He does not suit me." Levy seemed surprised and said af ter he challenged the talesman : "You must not think that every man who is acceptable will suit you. The talesman was very satisfactory." There was the usual jam when the court room was opened this morning and the court officers had their trou bles sitting the sheep from the goats. Only one talesman was permitted to enter. Recorder Goff has decided that womt n shall be barred from the court room aud many were turned away from the doors this morning. Profitable Office in Northumber land County.

The audi ence was the largest of the Feason aud taxed the hall to accommodate the crowd. The program was in charge of Mrs. T. J. Rogers and Mrs. Jesse Shannon, who deserve credit for the way in whioh they conducted the exercises. Mrs Emma McHeury was the accom* pai)ist for the Bible Class, and Mrs Wesley Morrall accompanied those who took part in the euteitalnment. The prigram was opened with sing ing b> the Boys' Bible followed by reading of the Scriptures by Mrs. .Tesse Shannon and prayer bv General Secretary William D. Laumaster.

This was a very fine feature aud was enjoyed by all present. W. J. Rogers gave a recitation iu German dialect, which struck a re sponsive chord in his hearers. Two delightful vocal solos were rendered by Miss Corabel Hendrickson. A piano duett was a pleading number,executed by Anna Edmoudson, Phoebe Curry, and Mary Rogers, after which follow ed a vocal solo by Miss Bertha Rudy.

MINOR MATTERS OF INTEREST The extent to which a little child may be iudulged by austere men who apparently have no time for anything but businoss is well illustrated by the following pleasing incident: Recent* ly Mrs. W. W. Gulick, of South Dan ville, took a trip to Philadelphia. She was accompanied by her little five-year old sou, George. When she purchased a ticket at South Danville the little fellow begged for a To satisfy the boy, Statiou Ageut Clark drew one of his cards from his pocket and stamping it. hauded it to the youthful passenger. Nothing more was thought of the matter by the Station Ageut until the little hoy with his mother returned home from Philadelphia. Mr. Olark was then shown the card, which had taken the trip to Philadelphia and back. It was a marvel to look at and contained no less than sixty conductor puuch marks. Every time the con ductor came through the car the little boy, who has pleasing winuing ways, presented his card and was never turn ed down. Each of the six conductors met with on the trip as shown by the punch marks paid his respects to the little bov and how often they punohed the " ticket" is revealed by the face of the caid, which is nearly "all holes." * Of ttf A tine ti<tg stone pavement is being laid in front of J. H. Cole's hardware store on Mill street. The stones are of the largest size and the pavement as far as completed is a beauty and shows off the sidewalk, which is un usually wide,to a splendid advautage. Mr. Cole's example in putting down the new pavement is worthy of imita tion, as there are a large number of the sidewalks in town that need relay ing.

MARKET STREET Following the arrival of a oar load of tools for the Danville and Sunbury Street Railway, several contracts ror material and maohinery were let by that company on Saturday; other con tracts will be awarded today. In order that the trolley oompany might be in a position to begin work, on Friday evening a conference was held by the trolley people and the Streets and Bridges Committee of Council composed of Amos Vastine,Q. K. Reifsnyder. Arthur Dietrich, J. H. Boyer and J. R. Hughes, at which some very important details as to the right of way and looation of the traok were settled. The question of a right of way was practically disposed of at the last meeting of the Borongh Council when a communication was received from the Danville and Sunbury Btreet Rail way Oompany Btating that the Dan ville and Bloomsburg Electrio Rail way Company by its indenture, dated February 23, 1905, had conveyed all its rights, title and interest in its route and franchise to the Danville and Sunbury Company. The route as designated lies from a point opposite the State Hospital down Market street to Mill, thence South on Mill to and aoross the river b-idge, through Gear hart township and Riverside. The communication stated that the Dan ville and Sunbury Street Railway Oompany received said deed subject to all conditions, stipulations and re strictions as the ordinance to the Dan- | ville and Bloomsburg Oompany res- I ignated. The communication was aooepted by j Council aud placed on file. In the purchase of the portion of the route ■ dcsigjatert the Danville and Sunbury i Street Railway Oompany seoures the I right of way through that part or our 1 Borough. The only matter left for Counoil to adjust was the looatinq of the track on East Market street,where the thoroughfare becomes too narrow to follow the custom and lay the track in the middle of the street. The matter was fully disoussed, Fri day evening,and the outcome was that oil East Market street the track of the Danville and Snnbary line should be laid in the middle of the street nntil a point a short ditsanoe above the Washington Hose House is reached ; there where the thoroughfare narrows down to twenty-four feet, the track is to take the north side of the street, which it will follow to the upper end. That the npper part of Bast Mareet street ia too narrow to permit laving the track in the middle was a fact quite apparent from the first and it was a mooted question with the resi dents which side should be oocupied. The Committee on Streets and Bridges in placing the track on the north side was largely.if not solely influenced by the fact that the water pipe lies on the south side of the street. It is ob vious, therefore, why Jthe Committee preferred to leave that side of the thoroughfare open. The Danville and Sunbnry Street Railway has undergone some change in offloera. Oharles P. Hanoook suc ceeds O. O. Yetter, Esq., as President of the Company. Isaiah Hagenbuch still remains Seoretary and W. A. Hel ler, Treasurer and Oeneral Manager.

RADIUn WILL CURE BAD CANCER CASES NEW TORS, April 19.—Experl ments under way at Flower Hospital indicate that by a oertain application of radium oanoer oan be onred. The effective method of applying radinm has been discovered by Hugo Lieber, a noted ohemist of this city. Mr. Lieber has suoceeded in dissolv ing radium and the solution exerts all the activity of pure radium. In order to test the enrative power of the solu tion it was decided to give a thorough test at the Klo« er Hospital. There was an old woman among the patients of j the hospital who was slowly dying of ' oanoer that had attacked the instep of ] her left foot. She was Sarah Oliver ! of Mew Canan, Conn. Realizing the almost hopeless character of her mal- I ady she eagerly consented to undergo : experimental treatment. Two weeks ago she received her first treatment with the solution, or coat ing, as it is technically known. Six days later, the great tumor that menac ed her life,literally dropped off,show ing the healthy flesn underneath. Dr. Harvey King, head of the Flow er hospital olinio could scarcely be lieve his eyes. Dr. William H. Dieffen bach who personally conducted the treatment, was equally amazed. Rut there was no disputing the facts. The bulk of tin cancer had been removed, leaving a mere rim of disease tissue that presents absolutely no obstacle to treatment. Several patients now at Flower hos pital have undergone the treatment and are showing marked improve ment. Tomorrow another test will be begnn. This case is one ot Dancer of the right heel,the man having lost his left leg by ampntatioo to save his be ing threatened b.v an exaotly similar canoer on the left heel. Mr. Lieber is preparing the radinm. Experiments will begiu at once to test the radium solution in the treat ment of consumption. In this experi ment an attempt will be made to blow the emanatious of radium into the lungs by means of an apparatus which inveutor Lieber has devised. New Style Button. The P. & R. company has adopted a new form of button for its employes' uniforms. Instead of the rounded face a flat bntton will be used on the snm mer suits. It bears the initials of the road aud is more attraotive than the oue now in use. A Salty Sentence. Darnel Holmes and Michael Murphy convioted at Scranton of having at tempted to wreck a Delaware.

KEEP YOUR BLOOD CLEAN Cerebro-Spinal flenin^ltis. The mysterious disease of meningitis that has been puzzling the people, and some of the physicians, the past few | months, is now on the decline. The New York World in commenting npon I the ravages of the disease says: I "Cerebrospinal meningitis is an im perfectly understood inflammation of I the membranes enveloping the brain I and the spinal marrow. It is most to | be feared iu poor and closely crowded ! quarters of areat cities, yet in rnra) Silesia it has beeu so severe that the peasants have fled from its ravage*,and in New York a railroad president has died of it in a fashionable hotel. It is very sadden in its attack and causes ex cessive suffering. New York will not soon forget the description of the agonies suffered by a poor girl who | had contracted meningitis and was j wrongfully put iu a cell for alcohol ism. The disease is doubtless in some manner communicable. I "Half a century ago cerebrospinal meningitis was as little known by name as appendicitis,though as "spot ted fever" it had done some execution. It appears to be at its worst at the end of a cold winter, when the general average of vitality is at a low ebb. At present Boston and New York are troubled by the disease,but our south ern cities, with their milder climate, have little complaint to make of it. "The medical profession is thorough ly aroused to the danger of meningitis and diligently seeking remedies. A cure as successful as the fresli air treatmeut has proved in consumption or the antoxln in diphtheria would be ißTAluble." G. SHOOP HUNT.
