SEMI-CENTENNIAL
AT GROVE CHDRCH
The oonoluding service of the Semi
centennial of the Grove Presbyterian
ohoroh was held Tueaday eve. Owing
to a breakdown at the Borough light
plaot the streets were so dark as to be
well nigh impassable, a ciroamstanoe
which kept dowu attendance some
what. Nevertheless, a good-sized con
gregation was present. The exercises
were intensely interesting.
After an organ prelude by Miss Roth
Qearhart and the siuging of a hymn.
Rev. S. V. Bediokiau, of Washington
tille, offered prayer. Miss Margaret
A miner man sang a solo, " My Redeem
er and My Lord," wiiioh was follow
ed with messages from former pastors.
Under the above head a letter was
read from Mrs. Collins, whose hus
band. O. J. Collins, D. D.,was pastor
from 1868 to 1865. An extract from
the autobiography of Rev. J G. Car
naohan, LL. D.. who was pastor from
1868 to 1869, alludiug very feelingly
to the people of the Giove rhorch. was
also read to the cougregatiou.
The choir then rendered an authem,
"Send Ont Thy Light," after whioh
an address was delivered by Rev. E.
G. Armstrong. Mr. Armstrong spoke
at length on the "Three-fold Funotiou
of the Christian Church," by way of
introduction dwelling upon his so
journ in Danville and in reviewing
the progress of events that marked his
pastorate of the Grove Church. He
rejoloed at the advanoemeot made by
the ohuroh but was saddened by the
vaoant pews—bv the faot that so many
faoea have vanished from earth.
Mr. Armstrong was followed by
Rev. R. H. Van Pelt, who was pastor
from 1869 to 1874. Mr. Van Pelt said
hia address would be brief—"a plain
heart to heart talk." He was in a
vein of remarkably good humor and
scored a number of happy points. He
dwelt upon his reoeptiou as a young
man when he came to the Grove ohoroh
and then became reminiscent. He
graphioally told of the last sermon in
the old brick ohnroh and described
the tearing dowu of its walls. While
the present ohoroh was in building a
part of the time the congregation wor
shipped on the third floor of the build
ing occupied by the Fiist National
Bank.oornor of Mill and Bloom streets
A solo was rendered by Irvin H.
Vannan. >
Next came the greetings, in whioli
Rev. Dr. Hemingway, of Bloomsburg,
Moderator, spoke tor the Northumber
land Presbytery, Rev. Dr. M L.
Shindel, as President,for the Djnvllle
Ministerial Association, and Rev.
James E. Hutohisou, pastor, for the
Mahoning Presbyterian cliuich, of

in the leoture rooti, during which re
frAliments were served.

THE HALLOWE'EN
CELEBRATION
The Hallow.e'en celebration Tuesday
night was like those of others years—
only it was worse. It began early and
coutinued until late. It was scaroely
six o'clock when the tin horns began
to toot aud as the hour of midnight
approached still an oooasioual horn
I could be heard. Bnt of all the thlugs
that happened betwoen the beginning
aud the euri it wonld take a big vol
ume to describe
The illusion was neaily complete,
indeed, and for a while it might hive
beeu taken for the time of the super
natural wheu the spirits of tiie visible
aud the invisible world were abroad
and were laboring with one end in
view aud that was to make noise. The
large stock of masks on Bale at tbe
local fctjres began to show a depleted
appearance as Hallowe'en approached.
Probably neve' before was such a large
stock of these disposed of in Uauville.
As a result all sorts of beings were
abroad on the streets at night—blaok
men, red men, Turks, eto., all soowl
ing or grinning in variant stages of
imbeoility or degeneraoy ; boys with
sheep's heads or the heads of other
auimals and rigged op in all sorts of
outlandish oostnmes. It was one end
less promenade—some times it was a
rush, wiieu people who did not belong
to the serenaders were sorely jostled
about on the Bidewalk. Above all were
the horns, each one of whiob seemed
to be worsj than the other.
The Chief-of-Police had isßued an
edict against throwing flour or like
substanoe about the street, which are
pretty sure to injure clothing. Wheth
er this order was violated to any ex
tent has not been learued.bat the boys
and girls made good use of coru aud
even gravel and ou every side the
game of tiok taok could be heard as
windows and doors were mdfciless
ly peppered while the serenaders
scampered aloug. The Chief-of-Polioe
had also notified the publio that the
marking of buildingß.etu. , with chalk
or any tiling of the kind wonld not be
tolerated aud that offenders would be
arrested. As it to defy the officer the
boys weut out on the uew bridge,
which they fancied was boyoud his
jurijd:et!on, and marked np tiie iron
work in a shameful manner. The most
of this wns done on Monday night.
What the outcome of this aot will be
is uneertaio. A reward should be of
fered for information leading to the
arrest of the offending parties when a
good exumple should be made of them.
How many door steps and how many
gates drifted away from their moor
ings last night is wholly problematic
al. It is hoped that there will be no
lawlessness to record as taking plaoe
last night. It is the one night when
the hoys aud girls own tfie town and
it is hoped that they had a good time
without interfering with the rights
aud property of older people. There
weie some Hallowe'en parties about
town iu which mauy clever schemes
were oarried out to suggest the wierd
and supernatural.
Salesman a Dowleite
Andrew Taylor, a member of tiie
Christian Catholio Apostolic church
in Zion, aud a resident of Zion City,
Illinois, was in Dauville this week.
He comes here as a traveling sales
man, representing the Zion City Lace
Industries and was registered at the
Montour House.
Mr. Taylor interviewed tlio buyers
iu Beveral of our best stores. His line
of lices includes platt vals and Nor
mandies, better kuown as Nottiug
hains. A ready market is found be
cause of the faot that the Zion City
industry Bells direct to the store.
There are six salesmen ou the road,
coveriug the country from New York
to San Francisco. Mr. Taylor's ter
ritory iB Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Our representative had an interview
with Mr. Taylor. Of Zion City little
need be said as the public iias read
much upon the subject. Founded by
John Alexander Dowie, apostle of the
faith, it is undoubtedly the best con
ducted city in the world, and its resi
dents point with pride to ita cleanli
ness. .
The Dowietes, as Mr. Taylor Baid,
stand for cleanliness and light, and
are opposed to alt. vice aud worldli
ness. If a person were found smoking
on the streets, it would cost $25 aud a
night in jail. No intoxicants are to
be found.
The present population of Zion City
is about 10,000. Pressed for room, John
Alexander is now in Mexiod, where
he is arranging the purchase of 750,-
000 acres of laud, in the state of Tarn
aulipas.
Zion City is a busy place, aud its
citizens are all employed. Among its
best industries is the lace factory,
which has a floor spaoe of eight acre
and employes 400 people. Itß product
is equal to the best made anywhere.
Last year the lace business increased
91 percent., aud the bad debts con
tracted did not exoeed H7 cents on the
hundred dollars, showing how care
fully the product was sold.

SCHOOL LAWS
PDZZLEJIRECTORS
The school direotors in man; of the
towns of the State aud espeoiallr In
the rural distriots are having quite a
good deal of trouble with the vaccina
tion question :
Superintended Dixon, of the State
Board of Health, has issued a procla
mation iu which he declares it to be
the purpose of the State Board to hold
each and every teaoher responsible for
the enforcement of the law. Its viola
tion will be punished by a heavy line.
The teachers are not at all to be blam
ed because they are anxlons to escape
the penalty. Many persons absolutely
refuse to have their oliiidren vaccinat
ed. Here is the diffloulty. The Health
Board declares that no ohild shall re
main iu school who has not been suc
cessfully vacoiuated and on the other
hand the compulsory attendance law
declares as emphatically that all chil
dren between certain ageß most be in
school.
These apparently conflicting laws
are what the school direotors are
wrestling with.
In Montour County in a few of the
rnral distriots there was considerable
difficulty in bringing abuut vaccina
tion as required by the school law,but
at last acoounts the difficulty every
where was pretty well adjusted. In
Dauville the law as to vaociuatiou
was eaßily complied with at the open
ing of the term. In oases where the
parentß were unable to stand the ex
pense, the ohildren were turned over
to the physioiana in charge of the
poor diatrict and they perfoimod the
vaccination free of charge. *

TAKING BATHS
FORJEDMATISM
Oar townsman B. F. Foulk, who in
taking the rheumatism core at Ut.
Clemens, Mioh., writes au exceeding
ly entertaining letter to Ilia frieud.M.
H. Soliram. Mr. Foulk, keenly ob
serving and well-informed, has seen
aud stored away in his mind for fu
ture reflection a multiplicity of facts
—more perhaps than the average man
would have taken In in half a dozen
tripa. He desoribes what he saw in
his usual witty and characteristic!
style. Through the oourteay of Mr.
Soliram the letter is here produced:
Friend Soliram I still lire. I came
here by way of Scranton, Buffalo, Ni
agara Falls aud Dstroit, leaving home
at 6.43 Oct. 19th, aud arriving at 3.30,
October 20th. It was an almost con
tinuous ride of «S0 miles. The Falls
was in gala attire, the river being a
raging flood from recent heavy rains.
It looked like au old friend, but not
very impressive as viewed from the
Michigan Central cars. There was
quite a "bunch" of water going over,
especially at the horse shoe bend. The
part of Oauada which the M. O. R.
R. traverses is low and wet. Stumps
iu the fields galore. Stump fences
abound and ouce in a while, no oc
cupied log cabin loums up aud disap
pears. We flashed two woodcock at
one boggy place, both of which woald
have been au "easy mark."
lam (akiug baths at tho Fountain
Bath House,which is conceded to have
the best remedial water for rhromat
ism aud kindred diseases. I havn a
good attendant, who was rejommend
ed to me by John Cruiksliauk. I made
him my personal frituil by the above
rcDOmmendatiou. After the first three
or four baths I got infinitely worse, in
fact when I wonld net oat of bed in
the uiorniug I expected to fall apart,
bat now after Beven bttiisl fed pretty
good, and am free fr. m pain The
laiueuess still oontiuuos to some ex
tent, hut Is improving. The hot room
which you enter before taking your
bath is heated to about 11(5 degiees,
aud after being in about two mlautes.
the thought outers your mind that if
you survive, you will tnrely lead a
better life, but after taking the baths,
things look different. Should yon get
any of the water in your motftli, Whioh
you will if you talk to your rubber,
yon will probably keep close watch on
your mouth thereafter.
The place has nine bath houses,
twenty line hotels aud I think about
767 boardiug houses. I did not count
them but we will leave it go at that.
It has a population of over 9000 all
supported by the people who come
here.-for the baths. The streets are.
well paved, the houses comparatively
new. aud situated at least 150 feet
from front to front, wide aitifloial
stone pavements, with numberless tiees
abonudtng in all the streets, which
must make it au ideal dwelling place
in summer. The laud is level, whioh
is true of all Southern Michigan I
spent three years in the State, further
west, long ago,aud liked it very much.
A beautiful park, visible from where
I write, helps to adorn the town. In
it is a monument built to oominemor
ate the founder of the place (Judge
Olemens). It was founded in 1818.
He moved out from Pennsylvania in a
time, wheu, if out gunning and game
run short, an ludiau or two could be
bagged, provided the aforesaid red
mau did not get the drop on the hunt
er.
Lake St. Clair, two miles away, is
the fishing resort of the place. Mar
velous are the stories of catches of
black bass,pickerel and perch. I want
ed togo, bnt my mbber called a halt
on all suali trips. No fishing,no drink
inn, no walking, dia yon ever hear of
the like?
2 Electric oars ran in all directions,
large, roomy and comfortable.some of
which carry mail and expross matter,
while others oarry baggage of all de
icriptiou. One line runs to Pitts
burgh. When I left home I intended
togo to Buffalo and take a boat to
Detroit, bnt when I saw the lake I
concluded that the land was good
enough for me. The waves were going
over tlie breakwater about forty feet.
Twenty-two boats have been reported
lost, and there are others which have
not yet pat in an appearance.

ONE YEAR SHORT
UFJ_ CENTDRY
" Aopt Peggy." Mrs. Margaret Sech-
I ler, yesterday Celebrated her uinety
uiufch birthday. It is probably the
most remarkable ease of longevity that
ever occurred iu this section. Mrs.
Seohler, Saturday, wan vieflod by a
representative of the Morning News,
who had a pleasant chat with the ven
erable woman, who lacks bat one year
of being a centenarian, for the tact
must be stated that "Aunt Peggy,"
although old in years is yoang in ev
ery other respeot and talks quite en
tertainingly. Her faculties are preserv
ed to a marvelous degree considering
her great age. Mentally she stems as
strong as the average person of eighty
years. Her sight is defective which
outs off the pleasure of reading, but
she hears quite well. Her memory as
it relates to recent years, it is true, is
somewhat at fault,so that in conversa
tion along much better when
the years of her middle life or girl
hood are dwelt upon.
Twenty years ago "Auut Peggy"
was old. Since then ohildreu have
beeu born and have grown,to manhood
aud to womanhood and still "Aunt
Peggy" lives on. For yearß past,while
the old woman was climbing np in the
nineties witli each reourring birthday
the question was askea: "Will Aunt
Peggy live to see another birthday
will she grow muah older?" Duriug
the last few years it has became a
question : " Will she live to round out
a hundred , years?" "Aunt Peggy"
herself has her own views ot the mat
ter. Overhearing a remark Saturday
that hor prospects were bright for liv
ing to be a hundred years old she said :
"Perhaps I may; it is only a littlo
longer_time to live." The aged wo
man incidentally remarked that the
years to her seeiu to fly vory fast.
"Aunt Peggy" loves to dwell upon
the changes that haveocourred during
lior long life. Her birthplace is only
aoross the Holds from the Koclier
homestead. Bloom road, whore she is
spending her declining years. As a
girl of fourteen through the woods
whioh then lined Bloom road, she car
ried oherries to town and sold them
for six cents per quart at the only
store iu Danville,whioh stood on West
Market street near the site afterward
occupied by the Aoaderuy. Later Peter
Balily opened a store in a log buildiug
near the river. Nothing so foroibly
illustrates the long span of her life as
the fact that the great Pennsylvania
canal was conoeived of as au enter
prise iu her early womanhood, was
constructed and for more than a gen
eration was a factor in transportation
until under the gradual cliauge ot con
ditions it passed out of existence,
while the aged woman, who was here
long before the oanal, still lives to re
late anecdotes that bear upon the old
waterway.
Thare were croakers in the days be
fore the oanal as well as after it and
"Aunt Peggy" leaned forward iu her
chair aud laughed heartily as she tuld
how the wiso people of that day tidi
ouled the idea that two mules should
be able to draw a load of sixty,eighty
or more tons, even though it were oil
a caual boat, "Aunt Peggy" seemed
to find much amusement ill the thought
that a oertain farmer was raising pcta
toes iu the bed of the old canal, a oir
oumstance which clearly shows that a
new epoch has oome to pass in which
the old waterway with all of us is
only a memory.
The trolley, the telephoue, &0., am
the latest practioal achievements of
"Aunt Peggy's" time aud she laugh
ed again as she wondered what the
impression of the old timers who had
misgivings as to the caual would be if
they could come back to earth at the
present day. "Aunt Peggy" herself
takes veiy kindly to the modern iu
ventions and was among the first to
ride to Bloomsburg in the trolley last
fall. She Saturday that she
would like to ride to Danville,but she
was uot quite Bute whether this wonld
come to pass.
Mrs. Seohler, whose maiden name
was Sanders,was one of fourteen chil
dren and the last survivor. There is
indeed, a great probability of her liv
ing to reaoh the century mark and
of surviving even beyoud that limit.

Miss Myrtle Dugan,one of the plain
tills iu tiie case aud the one who sus
tained the iujory, is uiueteen yeafs of
age. Hor father, the other plaintiff,
is the owner of an iron works iu
Muccy. On October 28, 1904, one year
ago on Saturday, Miss Dogau with a
companion started ont for a drive to
Montgomery, 8 miles distaut. After
dark in attempting to drive over a
oertain grade orossing where ilie Penn
sylvania and the P. & R. Railway
tracks run nearly parallel the carriage
was partially overturned and Miss
Dagan sustained injury. At lint time,
it is alleged, the Pennsylvania track
was being raised—at that particular
point it had been elevated some two
feet and been left in an unfinished
state with no red light to indicate
danger. The wagou road crosses the
tracks of the t"wo railroads diagoually
and it is allegod that Miss Dugau aud
her companion had driven over the P
& R. traqk iu safety aud were ill the
act ol crossing the Pennsylvania track
when they struck the abrupt rise. The
horse uionuted the elevated track and
was iu the act of dragging the buggy
after liiui ;oue of the front wheels had
climbed the aoolivity when owing to
the diagonal direotion the vehicle
leaued over at a sharp angle aud
threatened to upset. At this crisis, it
is alleged, a sharp whistle was sound
ed which was taken to indicate an ap
proaching train. In her alarm Miss
Dugsu lenped out of the oarriage aud
fell or was thrown against the rail of
the P. & R. Railway track sustaining
a fracture of her ribs aud injuries of
a permanent; character.
The case is returnable at the next
term of court.

animal convention of the American
federation of Labor,at Pittsburg.Pa.,
on November 18, President Oompers in
an editorial iu the Americau Federa
tionist for November says:
"At uo time iu the history of organ-*
ized effort nmoug the wago earners
lias it been more essential to approach
with care and intelligence the all-im
portant subjeots requiting lousidera
tion aud decisive action, which will
present themselves to the delegates to
the Pittsburg convention.
"Friends aud foes alike will watoh
wit'i keen interest both the delibera
tion and conclusions reached. Every
opponent, open and oovert will hope
that some ill-advised course will be
pursued, some mistako made, whioh
may be tnmed to their own account
to the disadvantage and disoomfiture
of labor, and they will not be Blow to
manufacture 'adverse opinion, distort
the work and its results."
In another editorial Mr. Gompers
vigorously urges upon anion labor
the necessity of stringent exclusion of
Ohinese ooolie laborer?.
"Tim bars mast not, * he ►ays, "aud
will not be let down to the Chinese."

The Situation in Russia.
The situation iu Russia is so grave
that,according to a correspondent, "it
cannot be exaggerated." The Cazr de
lays adopting a policy. The Ministry
wants to surrender to the people's de
mand for a constitution. The court
demands a dictatorship. While the
Czar dallies the Government remains
supine. Railroads, telegraphs, postal
service and every oMier utility is eith
er paralyzed or orippled and there is
prospect that Russia will be absolute
ly out off from the outside world.
Fiuland is restive. A rebellion is uot
improbable.
Most serious of all, the loyalty of
the army is in doubt. It is not knowu
whether the Imperial Guards can be
relied on. Foreigners, among them
officials of the Amerioau Embassy, are
preparing for flight in cace of need.
