PABADE WAS A RECORD BREAKER The P. & R. speoial train to Will iamsport yesterday took on about one hundred and fifty people at Danville inoludiug Stoes' band. At least fifty— Sir Knights and their ladies—journey ed to Williamsport via the P. & R. Railway on Monday, making at least 200 Danville people which that rail way oarried to Williamsport on the occasion of the Knights Templar Con clave. If other lailreads leading from oar town did as well the number of Danville people in Williamsport yes terdav ran well into the liondreda. The fall glory of the Knights Tem plar conolave broke on Williamsport yes terday morning. A magnificent parade, with masses of visitors and citizens filling the streets, and everybody on dress parade, made a flcene that will long be a pleasant memory. The mag nificent weather delighted everyone. The crowds gathered early. By 8 o'olock many were up and on the move. By 9 o'olock the streets were full of people,and along every main thorough fare leading to the central part of the city solid streams of people were mak ing their way toward the oentres of attraction. By the time the parade was ready to start the mass of human ity was easily the greatest that has been in Williamsport since the centen nal exhibition in 1896. On every hand could be heard the warmest congratu lations of Williamsport on its welcome to the visitors as displayed in the dec orations and arrangements. The un animous opiniou of the visiting knights seemed to be that Williamsport had eclipsed all previous efforts. Calvary Commandery.No. 87. K. T., of Danville, with Eminent Command er E. Sir William G. Williams, and Stoes' band, had fifty-one men in line. It marched in the second division be tween Mary No. 3fl, of Philadelphia and Prince of Peaoe No. 39, of Ash land. Calvary Commandery made a very fine appearance, comparing very favorably both in point of numbers and in geueral appearance with the Oommanderies of Philadelphia and Pittsburg. Stoes' band, also, made a very fine impression and on the whole Danville people present were muoli gratified by their town's showing. The massed bands,oolors and Knights feature of the parade as it marched up Third street from Market square to Elmira street, at the conclusion of the big parade, was undoubtedly the grand est spectacle ever witnessed by the majority of the people. Ttie massed bauds were led by George Llewllyn Fisk, director of the Imper ial Teteque Masonic band of Baldwin II commandery. He stood on an elevat ed platform on an electric automobile, and waved his baton and kept the seven hundred and fifty-five musicians in almost perfect time, at least as per fect as was possible for suoti a large number. The beautiful religious march, "Religioso" was played with marked time, the many instruments pealing forth in unison and producing a volume of sound that was grand in the extreme. The men marched eighteen abreast, the solo cornets first aud followed in order by the second cornets,trombones, baritones, basses, tenors, altos,drums, clarinets, flutes aud saxophones. A mounted escort of Sir Knights pre ceded the baud followed by the ban ners and flags. There were over fifty of these magnificent emblems, tho bearers marching as close as possible. The sight was as magnificent as it was unusual. Then came the white plumed Knights marching eighteen abreast. There were over 1,680 in all. The lines were close together and the march was almost perfect. The uniforms showed off iu all their brilliancy. Nothing was ever seen that equalled this grand array of musicians, banners and Knights Templar. The massed parade was by far the grandest ever held at any similar state conolave. When the mass reached the review stand FO enthusiastic were the ladies that they all joined in and sang the piece, it being a familiar one to everybody. They waved their hand kerchiefs enthusiastically. The sight was indeed inspiring. Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clook fol lowing a ride from the Park hotel to the cathedral, the business session of the conclave was held in the oathedral, presided over by Right Eminent Grand Commander Fleming. At this meet ing, which was closed to the publio, Sir Knight and Mayor Seth T. Fores man made an address of welcome. The mayor's welcome was responded to bv Grand Sonior Warden W'lliam J. Milligan, of Mary commandery, Philadelphia, who, in acknowledging the weloome accorded the visiting Templars by their fraters and the peo ple,paid Williamsport a splendid com pliment for her hospitality and pio gressiveness. To Shorten School Hours. A serions effort to shorten sohool hours for the relief of small children will be made by the leading educators throughout the state. It is proposed to reduce the lionrs of children in the first two years of primary instruction from five to three and a half hours. It is urged that such reform is no lefsin the interest of the teacher than of the pupils aud that the effectiveness of tlie schoolß would not be lessened. The plea that it is better for the children to be in the schools than in the streets is of more than questionable sound ness. Too close confinement and too muoli study are stunting and hurtful to im mature little bodies that need sym metrical physical development quite as muoli as mental improvement. At a time when so much attention is giv en to tho necessity of shorter honrs of labor for adults and to curtailment of the employment of ohildren in factor ies it is woll to begin in the begio nlag and consider the woes of the lit tle ones, whose school tasks are often made proportionately heavier than any they will be oompelled to fear in after years says an exchange. Still a little of that April weather ■■ stioking around in between the clouds. Time that woather man wakes op and gives us some of the genuine Joe malting article.

HOW THE BRIDGE WILL BE LIGHTED Charles uhalfant, Esq., attorney for Gearhart township, yesterday stated that the Connty Commissioners and the township Supervisors having come to an understanding relative to the approich on the Sontli side it was his opinion that the river bridge would be thiown open to the public yet during the prosent week. The County Commissioners of Mon tour are of the same opinion aud are very anxiouß to push along the im provements at the Danville approach as speedily as possible. The laying of brick on the new pave ment by last evening was completed between Market and Front streets with the exception of the space between the rails of the trolley track. About all that iemains to complete the pave ment can be accomplished in two days, which will leave ono half of the week for winding up work at the bridge ap proach. Our Oounty Commissioners are very anxious to have everything ready when the bridge is thrown open. Not only will the approach be pot in shape If possible,but the Danville andSunbury Street Railway Company will be ask ed to light op the bridge just as soon as it IB handed over. The expense of lighting has been as§umed by the trol ley company in addition to beariug one-third of the cost both of filling ap the abutments and of keeping the bridge in repair. The lights will be a great attraction on the bridge. At each abutment and each pier there is a lamp post on each side of the bridge, making sixteen in all. Each post is designed for two lights, which will be sixteen canole power. Boys' Reception. OUR of the most delightful entertain ments of tlie season was given in Y. U. O. A.

PATRICK M. KERNS. Mercantile Appraiser Danville, Pa., May 4th, IDOS. Carrying Dynamite. Out of the recent Hartisburg catas trophe,by which ajiumbur of lives wore lost and mauy persons injured, due to the explosion of a car of dynamite while an express train was passing by, there may ooaie results wliiuh will prevent aooidents of a si nilar nature. No doubt congress will be asked at its next session to belter regulate the oarrying of explosives ou tliu rail roads. • Senator Elkius, when traveling in Germany a year or two ago, observe! the extreme oare with which explo sives were handled oi the railroads there,and iu his jou r myß i'.i this ooun try lie has several times bean iu daug gerous propinquity to car loads of dy namite. Stadyiug over the matter, ho introduced a bill iu oougress last Win ter regulating the transportation of ex plosives, but the powder manufactur ers and some of the railroads objected, and the bill slumbered iu committee. There must oome some adequato reg ulation, which shall minimize the danger of oarryiug explosives. Sime of the suggestions I hit have been made are that all dynamite and other explosives should be specially packed under prescribed rules ; that the cars in which they are carried should be prominently labeled; that these cars •honld have floors set with steel rails to prevent ornshing; thai the cars should be oarried only at the rear of short trains, or better still, as special trains of single cars, and that the greatest care should be taken to have the oars detacl ed on sidings when oth er trains are passiug. Out of these sug gestions and others, a good law ooold be made,and even if tho oost of trans porting explosives would be iooreased thereby, that fact would be no legiti mate argument against the legislation. Berwick Loses Big Improvement. The Bloomsburg Pre;s says that the oontempalted improvements in the American Oar & Foundry Company's plant at Berwick will not be made. The oompany wanted a forty-acre plot of land adjoiniug the present the owners have plaoed tho price at 91,300 per acre. The additions oou templated would have made the Ber wiok plant the most elaborate oar •hopß in the world. It was intended to double the oapaoity of the wooden part of the plant, so as to turn 'out forty oars a day. More than a thou sand extra hands would have been needed. It would pay Berwick to buy a site and donate it to the oar com pany. Junior Athletics Won. The Junior Athletics won from the Second Ward team Saturday morning by the score of IT to 10.

GUI'S ADDRESS Mr. Editor —Dr. Qrier lias yielded to tli argent request and s licit ition of njimy of oar friends and lan con sented to reproduce in sob tame ttie addiess delivered at Hie funeral of my HOD Clarence. I herewith transmit to you the manuscript, the pnblic.it—n ol which in the oolamns of tiie this papel will'greatly oblige. Tours truly, F. O. DEIIB Auaxagoras, the Grecian philosopher, was informed of the death of his only son. He bowed his head and calmly replied, "I knew that I had begotten a mortal!" That was the best prodoot of anoient paganism ; a stoic resigna tion to death as a thing common to as all; and since it is inevitable what matters it whether it oome today 01 tomorrow., Oicero, after the death of his belov ed daughter Tallin, lamented: "If] had known whither togo for consola tion bat to philosophy, I should nol hive gine to philosophy." Alas, for as, if we could be saro ol nothing beyond what is revealed to 01 by onr bodily senses or by oold,relent less logic; by rationalistic processor of inference or deduction. We glorj in what has beeu accomplished by the tinman lntelleot. Indeed is it marvel lous! Bnt the conquests of the heart are still more glorious. As bttweeu the mind and the heart the better pari of as is the heart. Thus are we bouud by family ties and sooial relation ships. In a sense we are all agnostic. We know relatively little,so little thai we may as well oall it nothing at all. It is not to the mind,the seat of iotel ligenc.that Jesus Olirlst appeals; bnt to the heart, the veryoore and essence of our being, the source of charactei and action, of sensibility,emotion, en thnsiasm. The things which concert us most intimately we know by the heart. Thus are we bidden to apprti bend the doctrines of oar Lord Jesus Christ. W(< are oalled npon to live bj faith, which is intellectual blindness, and not by tight. Oh, my frieuds, tliii fundamental troth of Christianity how profound and inexhaustible it is, and how varied and vast are the ap plications of it! Jesus Christ ha' brought Immortality to light. Bui for that we shonld still grope in the dark and should be most gloomy and wretched. Bnt for that I should stand here today speochless. What said Jesu' to us,—and for the moment I am not thinking of Jesas as divine. For the inomi nt I care not whether lie was divine or merely human ; whether lie w»i the Son of God or the sou of ar obscure Ualilean peasant. It is conoed ed the world over, not by the village pedant perhaps nor the blatant infidel, bat by ail men of moral earnestness by experts in scholarship of everj shade of opinion, by the most learned and most thoughtful of unbeliuvers in evangelical Christianity that Jesus oi Naztroth was by far the mo>t gifted and noblest of all historical chaiacti rs the pores',the wisest, the piofouudest, the most nearly omniscieut of all mankind. Would you not stake yoai life upon the solemn assurance of sue! a man as that? " Let not jour heart be troubled. In my Father's House are mmy mansions. If it were not so I would have told vou !" That »eems a simple thing to say, "If it were uol so I would have told you." Simple things are often profound. To my thinking it is perhaps the most dra matic uud vivid pastage in the whole gospel. For example a father is serioa'-ly ad dros-ing his sou win seems incredu. lous. He turns upon the oliild ; " What do you uot believe me!" ; and then as a very last recourse of argument which cannot be gainsaid, "If it wet* not true I would not have told yoa so!" That means to say that even if Jisn< believed in nothiug else he did at le ist believe firmly in immortality. That if Bnongh. It many of the most intel lectual men in the worlj believed in final annihilation, that would weigh nothiug in my mi-id agaiust the pio found eonvlctiou of immortality an 1 Binphatio assurance of it giveu t > us by the lordly, mighty Nazarene. A man's oreed and church relationship are of little moment. The great thing is to be sure of immortality and con form one's life accordingly. Clarence Deir'a vision of the lift boyond, according to those who were closest to him, was more vivid the nearer he came to it. In oar hnman, Suite judgment—finite indeed, for at a poiut like this It snaps like a toe distended thread—in our fallible judg ment, not understanding the divine purpose, Clarence was needed here at liome, and needed iu this commauity, as are sadly needed everywhere jusl such clean,mauly,well-equipped,prom ising young men. He was needed liere. Yes, but he was needed there above! And when God calls it be hooves ns to yiold, at whatever earth ly saorifioe. A vast wave of desolation has swept }ver the hearts of these dear,bereaved parents, and over all of us who had )ome to love this splendid fellow ; and we should lie prostrate and inconsol kble but for the assurance that this iliuding affliction is iu accordance Kith out Heavenly Father's will. If iva only knew it; oh, if we only kuew t, there are things far belter for us hun any of our own planning. Lord, liy will be done! In the still air the music lies unheard ; !u the rough marble beauty hides un seen ; I'o make the musio and the beauty needs Che master's touoli, the soulptor's chisel keen. Jreat Master, touch us with thy skill ful baud ; jreat Sculptor, hew and polish OB; nor let, lidden and lest thy form within os lie! Jpare nut the stroke! do with ns ai thou wilt I jet there be naught unfinished, bioken, marred; )ninpletH thy purpose that we may becnnie rtiv perfect image, Thou oar God and Lo. d ! Close Game.
