There is a laugh in every line of "Where the Laugh Comes In" a musical comedy by Chas. W. Chase, the well known writer. It is said to lie one of the most comical and witty of any farce comedy written and those who like an evening of real good fun shonhl not miss this treat which will be presented by Manager Melville Daniels at the Opera Honse on Saturday evening. That autumn is close upon us is evid ent by the cool mornings and evenings of this week. Politicians are now at work on mark ing poll books and making estimates. One thing about these estimates is that they never hold out. Probably the rea son for this is that the voters mark the ballots, not the politicians.

The lied Jens House recently remod eled has become an important factor in the entertainment of the public. The dining room, which is one of the most commodious, seats a hundred at one time. The long row of tables tastefully spread for the accommodation of Ibis number presents an attractive appear ance. Notice to Parentf.

Parts of the city in which the churches are located are par ticularly referred to. Parents are ad vised to keep their boys away from the street corners as it will be necessary to make ai rests if this liahit is not broken up at once. J. C. MINI IMOI KK, Chief-of Police.

Court this month, which will convene on Monday, the 2;! rd inst, is remarkable as having on its list a greater volume of I criminal business than has been crowd ed into one term for very many years' past. There are already twenty-three j criminal cases to dispose of, among , them the one of involuntary inanslaiight j er, in which George Summers and Miles I Sassanian, whose horse ran away and j caused the death of Wellington Hart-I man, are the defendants. This case alone may occupy two or three days. Obviously there will be little, if any, time left foi the trial of civil cases, sever- ! al of which are pending. t nder the circumstances a number of those inter ' ested have decided to ask for an addi- | tional week of court in October to bede ! voted to civil cases.

K. G. I;, m.l XION A DIG SI ('( ESS Upwards of a Thousaud in Line William sport Takes First Honors. In spite of unfavorable weather con ditions which might have dampened the ardor of a less enthusiastic throng the program of the reunion of the Knights of IlieOoldeii Eagle with a single ex ception Monday was carried through as arranged. So llint together with the picnic of tlie Continental Hose Com pany and other attractions Labor Day was celebrated on a scale and with a brilliancy and success that surpassed any demonstration since the day was founded. When our town awakened Monday morning the monotonous and dispiriting drip of falling rain was the first sound that greeted the ear. This continued until nearly nine o'clock, when the clouds broke away. Meanwhile the loca l Castle, not at all daunted, was preparing for the recep tion of visitors. At 9:30 o'clock a speci al train arrived from Williamsport on the P. iV It. railway bearing -">2B people. Cars had been provided for 1000, but owing to the rain which was lulling heavily only the number above named weieal the station when the time ar rived for Ihe train to start. At 9:">o a special train arrived at South Danville bearing the Shamokiu contingent ami a number from Williamsport and inter mediate points, several hundred in all. A special, west bound, on the P. K. railway arrived at 1:10 p. in., having on board 300 from Bloomsburg and 200 from Catawissa. Another hundred per sons from the latter town came down on the regular Pennsylvania train al 12:1">. By noon the streets were filled with strange faces Sir Knielits in their trim and tasty uniforms and others in citiz en.-!'costume, many of them escorting ladies. The air was tilled with music discoursed by Ihe bands as they march ed to and from the stations. At 1 :!»0 o'clock the parade formed at - Bloom and Mill streets, moving at '2 o'clock. By this time ail ominous black cloud filled the whole northern sky, rapidly rising toward the zenith. Scaicely had the parade got started when it began to rain slowly. With only a few exceptions the paraders kept in the ranks, and although the march was anything but a pleasant one ilie en tire route was covered. Seldom has any parade in this city surpassed Monday's pageantry either in point of numl ers. drill or equipage. There were nearly a thousand men in line. Not the lea-t to be admired j were our three tire companies in their neat and haudsonie uniforms as well as Montour Castle No. istj, which in no re i sped suffered liv comparison with any of tlie visiting lodges. Following is the j line of march: FIRST HI VISION. Policemen. Council iu Carriage. ( hief Marshal, I). (' 11 lint. All IS. Milton, Lewishtirg. Stoes' Band. Friendship Fire Company.

Stabl, each of whom was booked for a speech, were upon the stand ready to carry out their part of the program. The Williamsport Commandery and Ihe Catawissa Castle each gave a drill upon the Square,after which the judges, ! consisting of Amos Vastine, A. I.

I'lie tirst day of -cliool, I'uesdav brought oiii a large attendance of pupils which slightly Mir passed 'hi shown , nf the tiist day last teitu. I here were in all lIM2 pupils enrolled *>l these lo:t arc in the High school. The total at tendance will rise coiisiderahh beyond this number, as there was scant lv a teacher Tuesday hut reported several pupils of tin school age as detained at home by one cause or another. Every school in (lie borough has l>et n thoroughly renovated and presents a fresh and attractive appearance. Many repairs have been made probablv the most marked improvement being in Ihe senior secondary ami the grammai school rooms ol the First Ward, where the old blackboards, which were much the worse for their long wear, have been replaced by slate ones; the walls and ceiling calcimined and the desks, which were much defaced, planed down and varnished. At the close of the session Tmsday afternoon in response to a call from Bor ough Superintendent U. I. (joi ly the corps of teachers assembled in tlie High school building for a discussion of mat ters relating to school work. The pres ent term limls more changes among the teachers than have occurred in 'lie bor ough for several years past. Among the new faces were Fred itecm, who suc ceeds Mr. Ilieffenbachei in the second Ward Grammar school; E. P> Barnett, the newly-elected principal of the Third Ward Grammar school, and Miss Mary Williams, teacher of the second : rade of the Second Ward schools. Mi - Bes sie Klase, Tuesday, was teaching as a substitute in place of Miss Alice Bird. At the meet ing a general outline of work was arranged for ihe present term. Psychology was the subject selected for pedagogical study and a cour-e ot sup plementary reading was decided upon Superintendent Gordy notified the teacheis that the system of education instituted by his predecessor. Superint endent '.looser, would he followed out during the couiinv year. The school rooms are generally tilled as far us consistent with comfort. I here is nowhere any crowding except ptop ably i n twu grade* nf ihe Si com I Ward. To facilitate matters there something of a departure has been made. The grammar and the senior secondary schools have been combined, the teach ers doing departmental work. Mr. Beam teaches in the four grades,-his tory, geography, arithmetic, algebra and civil government, while Mi«s Bennetts, the senior secondary teacher, has there niaining branches language and gram mar, reading, wtitmgan I physiology. An Old Newspaper. Through the courtesy ol Mrs Frank Sechler we have been permitted to peruse a very old copy of the "Danville Intelli geucer"' bearing the date of September 'J4, is:n. It is full of Jacksonian Democ racy with allusions to persons whose names now tire read only oil tomb stones. A paiagiapli relating lo the Pennsylvania canal is apropos at the present time. It reads: Oil Wednesday evening last a boat ar rived at this place from Nauticokt via. the North Branch Caiul, laden with shingles, bed-posts and cheese. This we believe is the first boat which ellected a passage through,from Nanticoke to Dan ville, audit would have proceeded fur ther, but the levels between this and Northumberland are not yet sufficiently supplied with water to float a loaded boat; consequently the owners sold their shingles for what they would bring here, stored their bed-post-, peddled oil tbei; cheese at a low price, and returned home. If the water i- not drawn otl,and no accident occurs, the North Branch Division will be navigable the whole distance, after this week Buried at Mt. Vernon.

Summer Outing Ends With Labor Day. The summer oiititi<; pretty generally comes to an end with Labor I>ay. The homeward ru-h *ets in about this time and then a general getting down to bus iness. It is said that at one half of I'anville's population enjoyed a vacation during the summer. Vacation truflic this -iimnier has exceeded that of any pre vioii- season. From all the resorts come reports of record br.iak'iig crowds and overtaxed accomodations at the hotels and cottages, with a proportionate in crease of expenditures by the vi-itors. In addition to being an evi lence of prosperity the increasi-d traffic is proof that the vacation habit is rspidly spread ing among American people. There was a time, and that but a few veur- aito. when vacations were practically confin ed to persons of leisuie and means, but there has been a gn- it change since then; the vacation spiiit has permeated all cla-ses. and it is an exceptional case when any person in moderate eircum stances does not indulge in a summer outing. Those who toil with either hand or brain have at list realized the l>eiie tits to be derived from a resting time aud a change of environments, and the hresk onee made, tliev become habitual vacationists «o far as summer outings are concerned. The benelits of a season of recreation are spen in the •]nickeniiiir of mental and physical vigor and the eaat rnes- with which the duties ..f e\erj day life are asrain entereil upon. The vacation habit i- a ir-sid one to encour age. Annual Meeting of Medtcal Society. The annual meeting of the Montour t'oiinty Medical s.
