A Life Well Spent.
On Saturday morning, May 18th. 19U1.
in the beautiful village of Riverside, all
that was mortal of the venerable Father
Day was consigned to the tomb. The
morning was rainy, the roads were
muddy, and the time set for the funeral
was early for people living at a dis
tance. When the time came for the
| services at the home there were but a
j few present. An adopted daughter, a
; grand son, his wife and child, a half
; dozen neighbors, and six ministers stood
with bowed heads while Rev. W. R
Whitney offered prayer. Just as the
i funeral procession started to the church,
i the east bound train from Sunbnry
j whistled down brakes and stopped in
front of the Day residence. The pro
j cession was doubled by the accessions
j from the train among whom were eleven
j ministers. At the church, qnite a con
gregation had assembled, and, but for
| the haste necessary in order that the
! ministers might get back to their duties
| on the Sabbath, the services would have
been worthy of the man in whose hon
j< >r they were held. As it was.the
beautiful music prepared by the choir
could not be rendered and the addresses
were much abbreviated. Rev. ,T. B.
Stein read the hymn beginning "Ser
vant of God well done.'' Rev. W. M.
Frysinger offered prayer. Rev. W. A.
Houck read the 90th Psalm. Rev. G.
D. Pennepacker read I. Cor. 15th chap
ter.
Rev. W. W. Evans then spoke for
twelve minutes, giving reasons for fix
ing the funeral services at the time ap
pointed, and stating the necessity for a
brief service. He spoke of his last visit
with Brother Day, when the aged sick
one seemed almost in a comatose condi
tion. He knelt by the bedside, offered
prayer, and as he arose Father Day,
evidently having listened to the prayer,
raised his feeble hand heavenward and
said "Its all right." Father Day was
IM>rn the Kith of May, IHIO. It had been
iiis desire for some weeks that he might
live to complete his 85th year. And on
May Kith, 1901, his desire having been
granted by the Master whom he so loy
ally served, he passed from the church
militant to the church triumphant. He
was converted and joined the church in
his fifteenth year. ILyntered the min
istry and joined the Baltimore Confer
ence in 1840. Sixty one years he belong
ed to the conference, forty three of
which he was in the effective work. But
this is only a brief sketch of his history.
Attempt to describe the sun —you fail,
you must look upon its brilliance. At
tempt to set forth the character of Fath
er Day ' It. is impossible, you must have
walked by his side to appreciate the
loveliness of his character and the zeal of
his life. It is easy to overdraw a pic
ture of the qualities of most lives, it is
hard to measure up to the real in this
case.
Dr. S. C. Swallow talked eight min
utes, saying that it is not necessary to
indulge in eulogy of a man so well
known. There is one time in life when
our judgment of a man is unbiased, it is
when he is in his coffin. Then the in-
Hnence of business asperity no longer
warps judgment. Today all unite to say
a great man has gone out from among
us. Dr. Swallow said further that forty
years ago Father Day voiced the call of
God and of the church and said to him
"you should preach the Gospel,' and
through Brother Day's instrumentality
he was inducted into the ministry.
Father Day was not a graduate of col
lege, nor even of a seminary, but he was
a student who burned the midnight oil,
he became learned, he was an educated
man. I lis method of sermon prepara
tion was not the modern method of gen
eral and broad preparation by a liberal
culture along all lines of modern learn
ing: but was that of writing—writing
for the specific work in hand. Now he
has gone but his work remains. He has
gone from us, and yet he lingers in our
work for he lives in the churches we
serve which he planted all up and down
this country, and he will always live in
our hearts.
Dr. E. ,T. Gray spoke ten minutes say
ing. this is not an occasion for tears.
Brother Day has recovered his hearing,
he has recovered his sight. If we were
to present our highest petition, we could
not get more for him than he has. He
could not want more. It would not be
incompatible with my faith to say that
he might be here now, God could per
mit it. But whether here or not he is
somewhere.and that place is where God
wants him to be. I have never heard
him say anything that he could not
have said direct to his God. No one has
ever said to me that they heard him say
anything unclean or nnbrotherly. That
is a great record. "Servant of God well
done. " What has he done V He did not
accumulate wealth. It is not essential
in order to achieve success to accumu
late wealth. A man has succeeded who
has erected a character which will qual
ify him for his largest and highest
ministry; if he fails in this he fails in
everything. Father Day achieved a
wonderful character. Think of til years
in the work of the itinerant ministry
without one blot. The one character
istic of his life above every other was
fidelity to duty.
Rev. D. S. Monroe spoke three min
utes, saying this is an unusual experi
ence to stand by the casket of a brother
in the ministry who has lived four score
and a quarter years among men. I have
known Brother Day longer than any
other person in this conference has. He
visited my father's house when I was a
youth in Baltimore. No words would
more fittingly express my estimate of
Father Day and my appreciation of him
than the words of St. Paul in Col. 4.7,
A beloved brother, and a faithful min
ister. and fellow servant in the Lord."

A GREAT RECORD.
Hard to Duplicate it in Danville.
Scores of representative citizens of
Danville are testifying on the following
subject. Such a record of local endorse
ment is unequalled in modern times. The
public statement made by a citizen is
but the many that have preceded it and
the hundreds that will. Read it.
Mrs. Nelson llollister of fill Mill st.,
says: — "My son John was always]
troubled with his kidneys, and I was
told by one doctor when we lived in
Lewisburg that he would always have
bother with them. He had pains in his
back, could not sleep and the kidney
secretions were annoying and embarrass
ing. There were pains in his head and
lie was depressed and dead tired the
whole time. Doan's Kidney Pills re
lieved him of the whole trouble. My
husband also used some for lameness in
his back and gave him immediate re
lief."

step should be towards the treatment of

trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis

"There Is a fellow In our office who la
a chronic borrower," said a young man
employed in a large Market street es
tablishment recently. "He got Into
nearly everybody In the place before
we all made up our minds to stop lend
ing. He lias owed me $2 for nearly a
year, but I'm nearly square, although
he has never paid me a penny of it.
That sounds queer, but it is the truth.
I'll tell you how I've worked It.
"Every once In awhile one of the fel
lows will say, 'l'm going to make So
and-so give me what he owes me next
pay day or know the reason why.'
That's my chance, and I casually re
mark, 'l'll bet you a quarter you don't
get It.' Usually the fellow takes me
up, and when pay day comes he loses
his bet, for So-and-so never pays. In
small bets of quarters and dimes,
luncheons and cigars 1 have nearly got
back the amount I originally loaned to
the chronic borrower." Philadelphia

Union Meeting.
A anion session of the Junior and Sen
ior Ep worth League at St. Peter's M. E.
church, Riverside, Sunday night,brought
out oue of the largest congregations that
has filled that church for some time.
The exercises were in charge of Miss
Agnes McCloughan, Superintendent of
the Junior League. The program abound
ed in interest and was calculated to
awaken a good deal of serious thought.
There is an abundance of natural talent
among the young people of St. Peter's
M. E. church and there was nothing es
sayed during the evening that was not
carried through with the best possible
eflect.
The exercises opened with a selection
by the choir. Incidentally it might be
mentioned that there are few better
choirs to be found than that of St. Pet
er's. The best of voices and skillful
training combine to make its singing a
highly enjoyable feature of the service.
Miss McCloughan read a selection of
scripture, after which the Juniors sang
"Jesus Loves the Waifs of the Street."
Miss McCloughan than told the scriptur
al story of Naainan, the leper, and the
part played by the little Jewish maideu
in bringing about hi* miraculous cure.
Papers were read by Miss Mary Mc-
Cloughan and Miss Kate Lewis, each
pointing out the lessons to be learned
by the story of Naaman's life and the
nameless Jewish maid. Recitations were
rendered bv Miss Manie Keim ami Miss
Ethel Shannon, the latter a very little
girl who told the story of"The Little
Syrian Maid," in a manner quite pleas
ing. Miss Keim, who recited the "Last
Hymn" has a great deal of talent along
the line of elocution. Her effort Sunday
night was most charming in its effect.
An especially pleasing feature of the
evening was a solo by Mrs. K. J. Allen,
wife of the pastor, who sang "Fear not
ye, 0 Israel." Mrs. Allen is gifted with
a charming voice, which is well cultivat
ed. The pastor followed with a short
address, dwelling very cllectually on the
subject of influence and the dependence
of great things on little things.
A Singular Accident.
Henry Shutt.No. 17 First street,whose
blacksmith shop is on Mill street, just
beyond the P. & K. crossing, met with a
very singular accident Friday. He
was returning from his dinner, walking
along the P. & It. track. When near
the North Mill street crossing he was
overtaken by a switch engine, which
passed him at a point where a large
signal cap had been placed upon the
rail.
After the explosion of the cap, which
was an unusually loud one, Mr. Shutt
began to experience a pain in the re
gion of the abdomen. He made his
way to his shop, where he discovered
that he was bleeding profusely and that
an ugly wound had been inflicted by a
portion of the exploded cap. I)r. P. C.
Newbaker was called, who found that
the injury, while serious enough, did
not penetrate any vital part. Mr.
Shutt was reported as resting very easily
last evening and unless blood poisoning
sets in he will get along all right.
Revisiting His Home.
Father Hilary, known to the world as
James Welsh, a member of the Order of
Passionists, officiated at St. Joseph's
Catholic church Ascension Day.
Thursday night he lectured on pen
ance, his discourse being very much ap
preciated.
Father Hilary is a native of this city
a son of James Welsh, Ash street, and
a brother of District Attorney Thomas
C. Welsh. He attended the public
schools of this city, graduating in the
class of 'BB.
About this time he went to Pittsburg
where he connected himself with the
order of p assionists. He remained at
Pittsburg twelve years, when he located
at Kansas City. He is now engaged in
missionary work. Father Hilary was
very popular during his boyhood in this
city and he is warmly welcomed here by
his former associates.
Beauty is bora in the blood. Beauty
Is more than "skin deep,"it is blood
deep. When the blood is tainted by
disease the flesh will feel it and the skin
will show it. Sallow or muddy com
plexions, pimples, blotches, and erup
tions are only the surface signs of im
pure blood. Face washes, lotions, com
plexion powder, may palliate the evils
but they cannot cure the disease. The
only cure is to cleanse the blood of the
poisionous matter which is the cause of
the out break in the flesh and skin. Im
pure blood can be absolutely purified by
the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Its effect on flesh and skin
is marked. Sores heal and disappear.
The skin becomes smooth, and regains
its natural color. The eyes brighten
and sparkle, the whole body is radiant,
with the brightness and beauty of
health. "Golden Medical Discovery"
contains no alcohol, whiskey or other
intoxicant, and is absolutely free from
opium, cocaine and other narcotics. The
use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, as
sists the action of the "Discovery," by
cleansing the system of clogging matter.
Seventy Seventh Birthday.
The seventy-seventh birthday of
Thomas Cole, East Danville, was cele
brated Monday. The guests were limit
ed to the children and grand children.
For the Shovel Factory.
Curry & Vannan are manufacturing
some of the machinery to be installed
in the shovel and scoop factory of the
Danville Bessemer Company which will
start up in the near future. The ma
chines are ponderous in size and com
plicated in design.
A Poorly Played Game.
Blootnsburg High school defeated the
Danville High school in a poorly played
game of base ball Saturday afternoon at
DeWitt's Park. Except in the lifth in
ning when the Danville battery revers
ed itself (or a sad and costly experiment
the game was fairly close. Both teams
showed great need of practice, Danville
especially giving no evidence of the snap
and team work so essential to good base
ball. Following is the score:

NEW SHORT STORIES.
Roheft t. Lee and II Ih favorite
II orue-General Wheeler's Mia
tuke—Ariuour Didn't Forget.
If 1 were an artist like you, I would
draw a tru<' picture of Traveler, repre
senting Lis line proportions, muscular
figure, deep chest and short back,
strong haunches, flat legs, small head,
broad forehead, delicate ears, <julck
eye, small feet and black mane and
tail Such a picture would inspire a
poet, whose genius could then depict
his worth and describe his endurance
of toil, hunger, thirst, heat, cold and
the dangers and sufferings through
which he passed. He could dilate upon
his sagacity and affect ion and lils inva
riable response to every wish of his
rider. He might even imagine iiis
thoughts through the long night march
es and days of battle through which he
has passed.
But I am no artist and can only say
he is a Confederate gray. I purchased
him in the mountains of Virginia in tlie
autumn of 1801, and he has been my
patient follower ever since to Georgia,
the Carolina* and back to Virginia. He
carried me through the Seven Days'
battle around Richmond, the second
Manassas, at Sliarpsburg, Fredericks
burg, the last day at Cliancellorsville,
to Pennsylvania, at Gettysburg and
back to the Rappahannock. From tlie
commencement of the campaign in
IM4 at Orange till its close around Pe
tersburg the saddle was scarcely off
his back, as he passed through the fire
| of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold
I Harbor and across the James river. He
was In almost daily requisition In the
winter of 18G4-5 on the long line of de
fenses from the Chickahominy, north
of Richmond, to Hatcher's Run, south
of the Appomattox. In the campaign
of 1805 lie bore me from Petersburg to
I the final days at Appomattox Court
House. You must know the comfort
he is to me in my present retirement.
He is well supplied with equipments.
Two sets have been sent to him from
England, one from the ladies of Balti
more, and one was made for him in
Richmond. But I think his favorite is
the American saddle from St. Louis.
Of all his companions in toil—Rich
mond, Brown Roan, AJax and quiet
Lucy Long he is the only one that re
tained his vigor. The first two ex
! pired under their onerous burdens, and
the last two failed.—Robert E. Lee, Jr.,
; in Frank Leslie's Monthly.
General Wheeler's Mixtake.
At Washington one day not long
ago It was raining hard, and the street
J cars were crowded with passengers
more or less bedraggled. Among them
was General Joe Wheeler. Next to
HE MADE A HURRIED EXPLANATION.
him was a woman wearing a mackin
tosh who rose to get out at Fourteenth
and F streets. General Wheeler no
ticed an umbrella leaning against the
car seat. He grabbed the umbrella
and ran after the woman, caught her
ut the door and said, "Pardon me,
madam, but you left your umbrella."
The woman looked puzzled, but took
the umbrella. General Wheeler resum
ed his seat. Then a woman on the
other side of him gave a little scream
and said, "Why, you nasty old man,
you gave that woman my umbrella!"
Then she appealed to the conductor.
General Wheeler apologized, but the
woman said, "Now, you Just get right
off the car and get it for me, or I'll
notify tlie police!" Meekly the veteran
tumbled off into the rain and ran aft
er the woman with the mackintosh.
He made a hurried explanation, got
the umbrella and rushed back to the
waiting car. As he handed it back to
its owner he said: "I trust you will
pardon me, madam. I assure you it
was all a mistake." The woman glar
ed at him. "I don't know about that,"
she sniffed. "I don't believe you aro
any better than you ought to be."—St.
Paul Dispatch.
Mr. Armour Didn't Forftot.
A venerable looking man strolled in
to the late P. D. Armour's office a few
years ago and asked for the head of
the firm. He introduced himself as the
teacher of the school in northern New
York which young Phil had in 1815 at
tended. The venerable old gentleman
was inclined to be obsequious.
Armour did not warm up. Instead
of that lie asked the old man whether
he remembered that he had expelled a
boy once for taking an Innocent ride
with a good looking girl schoolmate,
humiliating the boy so much that lie
had run away to California when the
trip overland had to be made in a
wagon.
The old pedagogue tried to explain.
Armour said he did not want any ex
planation, but he was enough of an In
dian not to profess friendship for a
man who had*treated him as meanly as
that when a boy.
•'So On."
Lady Dorothy Nevill is one of the
wittiest women in London society.
Some time ago tlieie was a rich and
ambitious man in society who went in
for entertaining largely and especially
for making his parties interesting and
representative. A marked falling otT
began to take place after awhile in
the quality of his guests. Lady Dor
othy, commenting on this deterioration,
said, "Once we used to meet Brown
ing and Whistler ami Henry James and
•o on there; but now we only meet —
«o on."—Chambers' Journal.
Ifo*r They Treated \\ ttv blnk to n.
As an example of the progress of
medicine during the last century The
Medical Record cites the ease of Wash
ington's last illness. He died of laryn
geal diphtheria, and the treatment was.
It would seem, for an old man sick
with a disease, very exhausting to the
vitality. It consisted in the abstrac
tion of between two and three quarts
of blood, the administration of about
20 grains of calomel and 6 grains of
tartar emetic and an injection, with ex
ternal application of blister. And yet
bo strong was Washington's constitu
tion that he survived this treatment for
24 hours.
QUAINT COLONIAL NAMES,
How Ihc Offspring of (lor First Colo
nials Were Christened.
It is an interesting study to trace the
underlying reason for many of tlie cu
rious names which are given to the off
spring of the iirst colonists. Parents
searched for names of deep siguifi
cance—for names appropriate to con
ditions, for those of profound influ
ence presumably on the child's life.
The Rev. liichard Buck, one of the
early parsons iu Virginia, in days of
deep depression, named his first child
Mara. This text indicates the reason
for his choice: "Call me Mara, for the
Almighty has dealt very bitterly with
me. I went out full, and the Lord has
brought me home empty." Ilis second
child was christened Gershom for
Moses' wife "bare him a soil and called
his name Gershom, for he said I have
been in a strange land."
Many names have a pathos and sad
ness which can be felt down through
the centuries. Dame Dinely, widow of
a doctor, or barber surgeon, who had
died in the snow while striving to visit
a distant patient, named her poor babe
Fathergone.
Tffe children of Roger Clapp were
named Experience, Waitstill, Preserv
ed, Ilopestill, Wait, Thanks, Decide,
Unite and Supply. Madam Austin, an
early settler of old Xarragausett, had
15 children. Their names were I'arvis,
I'lcus, Piersus, Prisemus, I'olybius,
Lois, Lett ice. Avis, Anstice,
Mary, John, Elizabeth, Ruth, Freelove
All lived to be threescore and ten, one
to be 102 years old. Edward Kendall's
children were named Tru* grace, Re
form, Hoped For, More Mercy and Re
store. Richard Gridley's offspring
were Return, Believe and Tremble.—

The Old Itonir Paper.
Noting the fact that many country
bred men in the large cities take the
local paper in their old home, the Phil
adelphia Record says:"The head of a
large Market street wholesale business
bouse, a man now advanced in years,
has been a regular subscriber to one
of the Bucks county papers for 50
years. 'He wouldn't give it up for
anything,' said this man's son. 'He
gets more real enjoyment from it than
from anything he reads. A daily edi
tion has been started within the last
ten years, but he doesn't want that,
lie only gets the weekly edition, which
prints gossip of a personal nature from
the various towns throughout the coun
ty. lie will pore over this by the hour,
and his comments on the various items
of news are often amusing. Scarcely a
name is mentioned that lie doesn't say,
"Why, I used togo to school with his
father," or "I once licked his Uncle
Jim for tying my clothes up when we
used togo swimming iu the N'eshami
ny."'"
Elephant Who Earn* Hi* Board.
James Cahill of Roney's Point is the
enly person in West Virginia and prob
ably in the United States who has in
regular use upon his farm an elephant
which is used for farm work. With
the swaying beast hitched up to a plow
he can turn more ground than any
of his neighbors with a team of horses,
and when it comes to hauling logs the
elephant will walk away with ease
with logs which the best teams of his
neighbors cannot move.
The elephant eats little more than a
horse and does many times the work
of one, is gentle and docile and causes
little trouble, and Mr. Cahill is more
than pleased with his experiment. Mr.
Cahill bought the elephant from a
stranded circus proprietor.—Baltimore
