if CHAPEL
IN EAST El!
The East End mission, wliioh, under
the zealous leadership of Hon. M.
Hincklov, lias grown and prospered
daring several years past, is abont to
enter upon a new era, marked by still
greater growth and enlarged influence.
Among the new order of things
will bring about another epoch in the
mission's history is a new modern
•church structure designed with spec
il reference to the growing needs of
the mission, and the foundation of
which will be laid not later than next
spring.
Ever since the East End mission has
been in existence the meetings have
been held in tho third floor of the Am
merman building. East Market street.
The quarters there are somewhat
cramped but the two narrow flights of
stairs that have to lie climbed by those
attending constitute the worst objec
tion.
For some timo past those interest
ed in the work of the East End mis
sion have been casting about for a Dew
site of ground oonvenienly located,up
on which to build a chapel. Sucli*<a
sire is now procured. It was purchas
ed last week of W. A. Sheppersou and
adjoins the Amtnerinan building on
the west. It was formerly occupied by
Mr. Sheppersou s coal yard and has a
frontage of forty-seven feet on East
Market street and is one hundred and
fifty feet deep. The deed has been de
livered
Hou. H. M. Hinckley stated yester
day that a capacious chapel would be
•rected on the site, that would have
au auditorium of large size on tho first
floor. The exact dimensions have not
been decided upon ; nor of what ma
terial it will be constructed. Work
may begin in a very short time. By
the first of April at the furthest ground
will be broken.
Death After Long Illness.
Samuel Boyer, of Plymouth,a form
er resident of Danville, died at his
homo in the former place Saturday
morning.
For many years the deceased was
employed as a clerk in the company
store at tins .place aud thus became
rwry widely knoTm. His wife before
marriage was Miss Kishel,of this city,
a sister of Miss Mary A Kisliel, Pine
street When he lived in Dauville the
deceased owned and occupied a resi
dence oil Bloom road just beyond the
borough line.
Iu 1887 Mr. Boyer moved to Ply
mouth, Luzerne county, and sometime
later he became associated with W. B.
Chamber! in in a mercantile business
For some years lie was manager of the
store but later became a member of the
firm Ho was accounted a first class
business man.
The deceased was iu ill health for
two years. During this time he decid
ed to retire from business and remove
to his old home, Dnnville. With this
object iu view lie purchased the A. 11.
Woolley residence 011 West Market
►treet. Declining health, however, do
terred him from changing his resi
dence, although he still retained pos
session of the West Market stroet
dwelling.
The deceased was 58 yeais of age
and is survived by his wife, a sou and
a daughter: Gatliercole and Miss Lois
Boyer.
Six /"lore Weeks of Cold Weather.
He walked right out, and turned
arouud, aud walked right iu again—
this reversal of the prevalent expres
sion would describe the stunt of the
groundhog on Saturday- His Hogship
did his little act.aud according to the
old tradition, the winter is not yet at
an end and we are to have cold and
stormy weather for the next six weeks.
The suu was shining brightly the
greater part of the day, and not with
standing that his eyes may have been
somewhat bliukev on emerging from
his long sleep iuto the bright glare of
day light, our friend had no difficulty
in discerning his shadow distinctly
outlined on the snow. After taking a
sniff around, aud without waiting tc
say goodbye—not eveu inquiring about
politics or the legislature—he turned
his back on the glittering world and
withdrew again iuto his retreat, slam
ming the door shut to keep out report
ers and others of the cnrlous. He will
resume his sleep aud will nut again
come out until the six weeks are elaps
ed and winter is over.
SACRIFICE TO
SAVE CHILD
Iu order to nave the life of liis three
year old daughter, Charles Kremer, o!
Lewisburg, had thirty square inches
of his skin grafted on her at the Wil
liamsport hospital Tuesday. Early last
December his daughter Geraldiue,wai
badly burned about the bod? and arms,
and has been in the hospital siucc
December 23. Over three weeks ago at
much skin was taken from Mrs. Krein
er for a like purpose. The physiciau
at the hospital thought that in ordei
to save the little girl's life more skin
would be needed,so Mr. Krenier with
out any hestitaion, offered himself tc
save his daughter from death. Gerald
ine is now getting aloug nicely and il
is thought that she will recover.

THE DANVILLE
STOVE WORKS
At the annual meeting of the Dan

pany, held last week, the following
officers were ro-electecl: President, W.
B. Chaniherliu; secretary, Alexander
Foster; treasurer, W. L. McClure; W.
A. Secliler WHS re-olected general man
ager of the worgs.
The plant of the Danville Stove &
Manufacturing company, beside being
one of the most prosperous industries
in this section with a bright future
ahead of it,has a record behind it that
well entitles it to the distinctionjof be
ing n standby in Danville. For more
than twenty years it has been forging
along in the even tenor of its way. a
source of steady and remunerative em
ployment to it hands every working
day of the year when they chose to ap
ply themselves to their tasks. There
might be protracted shut-downs else
where, but the stove works was al
ways runuimz or in a condition to run
For twenty years or more the busi
ness lias been gaining ground and it is
Still growing. Last week the company
shipped a car load of Beaver stoves to
Sau Francisco, which is an entirely
new field. A circumstance that reflects
well on Beaver stoves is the fact that
the order came wholly unsolicited,
from a party who had heard of the
Danville stoves nnd came here to
negotiate. Danville stoves arc oxport
od to many foreign couutrles aud are
found in South Africa, China a.-, well
as in Mexico and Cuba.
To keep pace witli the demand of
the times the Danville Stove As Manu
facturing company is constantly add
ing to its product. The new Queen
Bearer, the patterns of which were
begun last summer, will be ready for
the spring trade. This range,which is
in two sizes aud twelve different
styles,is made with lift-off nickel aud
is plain in finish, just the kind of stove
to please the fancy of the present day,
which is constantly demanding some
thing new.
Work is well under wuy ou the pat
terns of two other stoves that will be
brought out this season. One of these
is a new size of Beaver A, plain cab
inet rauge and the other a new square
parlor heater, which will be made in
two sizes.

DISEASES OE
MID-WINTER
The loc»r registrar's report to the
bureau of vital statistics for .Tannary
shows the usual amount of illness in
cidental to midwinter, although the
general health is better rliau during
the mouth of December.
Eleven cases of typhoid fever were
reported during January as against
seven cases in December. -In propor
tion to the population there is nothing
abnormal in eleven cases of typhoid
fever. Besides, thir majority of the
cases were reported during the early
part of the month and are now con
valescent. There is scarcely any doubt
but that Danville's practical immun
ity from typhoid fever, which is pre
vailing in so many of our neighboring
towns, is due iu great measure to the,
precaution of boiling water used for
drinking and culinary purposes as well
as to the efficacy of our filter plant,
which oleanses and purifies the river
water.
As rotates to diphtheria, the most
dieaded disease of childhood, the sit
uation is much improved, thore being
but one case iu January as against five
cases of that disease.one of which was
fatal, in the mouth of December.
This is the season when pneumonia
begins to gather in its victims. Dur
ing January there were three cases, of
this dreaded disease, one boiug fatal,
as against one case in December, which
was fatal.
Scarlet fever made its appearance
during January, three cases being re
ported. There were no deaths from
this disease.
The general improvement as relates
to the public health is noticeable iu
the falling off of grippe. A couple of
weeks ago there was scarcely a family
but had one or. more victims of this
disease. Some of the cases were attend
ed with a good deal of suffering, while
there were few who were not too bad
ly indisposed to pursue their daily
vocations. The falling off of grippe is
attributed by the doctors to the more
seasonable weather which has prevail
ed during the couple of weeks past.
Duriug January there were twenty
five deatli in the district, six of these
occurring at the hospital for the in
sane.
The births for December whioh were
not previously printed, s. ere twenty
three as against twenty-one deaths for
that month
GIFTS TO A WIFE,
The Sentiment Thnt In Uei&r to the
Heart of a Womnn.
In a recent divorce case the husband,
when asked if lie ever made his wife
any Christmas or birthday presents,
replied:
"No; 1 am sorry to say L never did.
I gave Mrs. power to draw on my
bank account and to buy anything she
wanted, i was mistaken. That was
not all I should have done. That did
not take the place of my buying things
and taking them homo to her."
It is astonishing how little even the
majority of husbands know about the
feminine nature. I recently heard a
young wife say that she would rather
have her husband bring her a bunch of
violets than give her ten times the
money they cost. But she said she
could never make him appreciate the
fact that money was not all that she
needed.
I know men who never think of tak
ing homo a bunch of (lowers to their
wives. They either think it unneces
sary extravagance or that if their
wives want flowers they can get them
themselves. They do not realize that
women prize the little courtesies, the
little attentions and evidences of
thoughtl'ulness more than money. It
Is the Invitation to the little outing or
vacation, the little trip to another city,
the bringing home of tickets to the
theater or opera or to the concert or
lecture—lt Is the hundred and one lit
tle things that make the average wo
man happy and not merely the fact
that her Imperative wants are supplied
In a lump snm.
Most men overlook the fact that It
does not take so much, after all, to
satisfy the average woman. It Is
largely a question of the right spirit,
of doing the things which Indicate
thought fulness. Just giving a wife a
check once In awhile, no matter how
large it may be, or telling her to draw
as much as she needs from your bank
account will not satisfy a womanly
woman. It Is yourself she wants with
the money.-Success Magazine.

COURT FACES
UNIQUE DILEMMA
Complications in the Fisher case
during the past few clays put the
Northumberland oouutv court in one
of the strangest dilemmas in which any
judge has ever been placod
Fisher is accused of murder and his
oase was to have come up yesterday.
Under the law it could not again be
poatponod except by request of the de
fendant as it had already been twice
put off, and as Fisher still has no
counsel he can hardly bo put on trial
for his life. Nevertheless he insisted
on being tried. "Have it over" he
said. "I don't caro whether you hang
me or not." If his case would go by
default he could no longer be held in
prison.
The honorable court looked over the
attorneys present, attempting to dis
cover some prospective lawyer for the
defense. He again appealed to Welsh
and Welsh, whom he had originally
appointed. They firmly declined. "We
will goto prison for contempt, your
honor," they said, "rather then take
up the case again." The last time
they called on their cliout a desperate
flat fight had ensued and they have no
deßire to consult him again. ProH*ure
was brought to bear on Fisher, and
after several days hard work he was
persuaded to ask for a continuance,
which was granted with great alacrity
by the court on Tuesday evening.

LOCAL OPTION.
There is a very decided sentiment
'throughout this Commonwealth in
favor of the enactment of a reasonable
local option law. To advocate local
option is not necessarily to favor local
prohibition. It is simply to take the
ground that the people of each coun
ty, or samller district, have a right to
determine whether or not they want
the licensed liquor business to exist in
their community.

WEIGHT FLUCTUATIONS.
A Sinn Mny Gain and Lone Five
i Poundfi In the Day.
"A dinner Ilk.* this Increases one's
! weight two and a half pounds," said
, ft physiologist as he finished his more
than generous meal. "An average din
ner increasiN. the weight two pounds
two ounces. Did you ever consider
' how the weight fluctuates night and
I day ?
* "We lose In bed at nlglit two pounds
six ounces. Between breakfast and
r lunch we lose fourteen ounces. Be
tween lunch and dinner we lose ten
ounces more. Total loss, four pounds
fourteen ounces. That goes on every
day of our lives.
"At breakfast we gain one pound
twelve ounces; at lunch, one pound; at
dinner, as I said before, two pounds
two ounces. Total gain, four pounds
fourteen ounces.
"Thus, day by day, gaining nearly
five pounds, our weight remains uni
form. If we ate but a half or a third
what we do, it Is logical to suppose
that our organs, digestive and so on,
b would have but half as much work to
i do and that our brains In consequence
, would be able to do twice as much,
j That is the logical supposition, and no
, doubt It is the correct one, but man la

Saved by the Apoatlea' Creed.
The value of a religious education
was once experienced by the skeptic
Hume. He fell ofT a temporary bridge
connecting old and new Edinburgh
and sank Inn bog. After many cries
for assistance an old woman drew
1 near and began to make preparations
for saving him. But as soon as she
I saw who It was she would save she de
l sisted and bade him stay where h< 1 was.
L"I am uo atheist," protested Hume. "I
assure you. good woman, you are mis
taken." "Well, then, If you are not an
atheist," she cried, "you can say your
belief, and if you cannot do that I will
be no aid to save an infidel." Ilume
accordingly, embogged in the swamp—
de prof undls—recited the Apostles'
Creed and, having made no mistake In
the recital, was duly saved by this se
vere Samaritan. If he had failed

J What are known as "exhibits" in law
I cases raug«> from sheets of paper to
I boilers and other large articles. At va
rious times an omnibus, a motor car
and a cab have been on view In the
private roadway by the side of the
5 London law courts, and as they could
| not be brought into the witness box
. the Jut'g«± aud Jury have had togo out
I and in pect them lu the open. One of
the mart ponderous "exhibits" of this
J kind was a large ship's boiler furnace,
j which was conveyed from Swansea for
inspection.—London Standard.
Karly Beda.
Tht; beds of the ancients were piles
of skins. The first beds resembling
those used in modern times were made
of rushes and later of straw. The use
of feathers lu making beds has been
attributed to the Romans, and Elaga
balus (Ileliogabalus) is said to have
used an air cushion for a pillow in 218.
1 Air beds were frequently used during
the sixteenth century. Feather beds
were largely u>ud duriug the reign of
Henry VIII. of Rngland.
