Griffith, the multi millionaire. of Los Angeles. Cal., who liegau life in Danville, was signally honored on the 4th of the present month by a grand banquet at Los Angeles, which was attended by many of the leading men of California, including Ex-Governor J. L. Beveridge, who act ed as toast master. The banquet was gotten up in honor of Col. Griffith's fif tieth birthday The "Los Angeles Times'' of the fifth inst.. in giving an account of the ban quet says: For thirty years Col. Grif fith has been identified with the devel opment of this city and its beautiful snbnrlis and he is widely known as a keen public spirited philanthropic citi zen. He has been connected with all the great movements of the past that have had for their object the advance ment of this section. Several years ago he deeded to the city the famous Grif fith Park of 3000 acres—the greatest pleasure park owned bv any municipal ity in the world. On the festal board were pineapples, bananas, strawberries, oranges and other tropical fruits, all grown within the froetless confines of the beautiful Cahuenga Valley and freshly picked for the occasion. Col. Griffith, who was born in Wales, along with some other emigrants drift ed to Danville about IX6I, when he was 9 years of age. He was an orphan and without a single relative so faras known The friendless condition of the boy ap pealed to Benjamin Mowrey. who con ducted a blacksmith shop on North Mill street, and be gave the young emigrant a home. The boy worked in the blacksmith shop, receiving in return his board, clothing and schooling part of the year. He attended the Third ward school and is well remembered by several of our citizens who were school fellows, among tbem W. C. Williams, of the Baldy House and Undertaker John Doster, Jr. At the age of 16 he went to Califor nia. He received employment on the "San Francisco Call." in time becoming reporter of the Stock Market. It was while in this position that he gained an insight into the methods of speculators and learned the drift of values, which enabled him when the opportune mo ment arrived to make investments which yielded immense wealth. Col. Griffith has paid Danville two visits during his sojourn in California He was present here at the funeral of Benjamin Mowrey and before returning to the Pacific coast he erected to the memory of his benefactor a handsome granite monument in the Lutheran cemetery. Jacob and Theodore Doster, of this city, on their recent visits to California called upon Col. Griffith and were roy ally received. CONCERNING Y. M. C. A. FREE COURSE There seems to be prevalent consider able apprehension that the free enter tainments being given in the Y. M. C. A. Hall are proving a financial drain upon the treasury of the local associa tion. This is a misconception, pure and simple. Since the inauguration of the course two years ago. it has been self supjiorting, and therefore has not cost the Y. M. C. A. one cent. At the pres ent time, the Free Course management has a small amount of money in its treasury. We do not hesitate to make this known to the public for fear, that the entertainments to follow will receive less financial support, bat on the con trary, we feel confident that the people of Danville appreciate the exceptional worth and character of this free course, and will continue to support it, even more liberally than in the past. Such talent, as we have had, and as we shall have, costs money, and we therefore so licit generous patronage. The manage ment s sole purpose is to continue to make the Course self-supporting. We are assured the people of Danville rec ognize their responsibility and will gen erously perform it. The next entertainment will be given by the facnltv of the Bloomsburg Nor mal School, Tuesday evening, Janunrv 28, 1902. It will consist of vocal and in strumental solos, as well as readings, recitatious, etc., all by competent ar tints Let all come, and remember the silver < ffering. Basket Ball Tomorrow Night.

Aiden Benedict's "Fabio Koinani which will be the attraction at the Opera House on Saturday evening is a drama tization by Clias. W. Chase of Marie Correlli's most popular novel "The \ en detta" and is one of the most popular plays now before the public. It is now in the 13th., season of uninterrupted success which of itself is proof of the merit of the production. The members of the company presenting this popular play have been selected specially for the characters assigned them and the organ ization carries all the scenery. Miss Ollie Cooke, will appear in her famous dances. The Minstrel Baud. Did you hear the John W. Yogel's minstrel band as it filled the town with its merry, hurried music <>n Christmas •lav 1 ? Did you notice the men in the pro cession, wearing high hats, long light colored coats, buttoned with precision around figures which seemed animated with music, and wires, or something of the sort 'I Did you see the banners and the zouaves carrying them? How the horns sounded, and how the tunes echo ed through the streets. Many a grizzled man saw the parade pass and turned from the window with a wish that for just one Christmas day he could be like the boy who followed the minstrel band, admiring in his ex cited mind the wonderful heroes in tin long light coats, which are only fantas tic departures from the minstrel show of the past. Eugene Field got back to the boy again when he wrote: "Bring the comb and play upon it. Marching here we come— Willie cocks his Highland bonnet, Johnny beats the drum." c > EJIO^MINSTRELS. 1 la ii, uuci .hi, onij me ooy »v no loves the minstrel band? Whoever reasons thus but tries to hide beneath that cy nicism which deceives no one, not even the cynic himself, his own heart. Who ever passes on without noticing the high hats, the flaming banners, the dandy coats and other incongruous features of the minstrel parade, is only trying, with an effort which twitches his heart, to close the gates of memory's playground. Hurrah for the minstrel band! News- Press, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., December 26th, 1901. A Rag Time Reception. A Rag Time Reception will soon ap pear at the Opera House. It is a bright, happy, musical melange, complete with funny sayings, and amusing situations. Incidental to the play many new, origi nal and unique specialties are introduc ed by all the principal members of the company, which occur in a natural manner. The managers, Messrs. Bick nell and Rowe, have shaken off the dust of the ordinary combination of farceurs, and have weeded out all the old conven tional moss-covered ideas, presenting an up-to-date comedy, introducing a com pany of artists of ability, beautiful cos tumes and a handsome and appropriate ly-staged production. Not to see this funny show is to miss one of the the atrical treats of the season. Robert B. Mantell, who has not acted ed in this city for several years, prob ably will make his reappearance here in the Autumn, opening the season at a Broadway theatre. Manager M. W. Hanley is conducting negotiations to this end, and there is strong probability that they will be successful. —New York City items in"The Dramatic Mirror. "- Rob ert Mantell will appear in Danville early in February. William M. Robison formerly of Dan ville, is Pittsburg's correspondent for "The New York Dramatic Mirror." An excellent double column half-tone cut of Mildred Holland appears in this week's "Dramatic Mirror. A Little Boy's Life Saved. I have a few words to say regarding Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It saved my little boy 's life and I feel that I can not praise it enough. I bought a bottle of it from A. E Steere of Goodwin. S.

All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. fThe kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the biood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty cent and one-dollar siz es. You may have a " sample bottle by mail iiom® of swamp-Root, free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

Carmel. The defendant acquired title through a sale by the sheriff in I*4o. which it is claim ed was fraudulent and therefore null and void. The land in dispute is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The present suit is only a test case. If suc cessful. suits will be brought against other coal companies in Schuylkill.

A patent cooling room manufactured by the MoCray Refrigerator company of Kendallville. lud., has been installed at the Hospital for the Insane at this place. It is quite a large affair. 22 feet long. 13i wide and 8 feet high. The cooling room is divided into three com partments one for milk and butter,an other for meat while the third is design ed as a general refrigerator. Seven tons of ice are required to fill the ice cham ber, which will have to be replenished once a week. The refrigerator is finish ed in oak and has glass in the top to ad mit light. S. G. Williamson, of Al toona, the agent under whose supervis ion the cooling room was installed, left for home on Saturday. "Some time ago my daughter caught a severe cold. She complained of pains in her chest and had a bad cough. I gave her Chamberlain's Cough Remedy according to directions and in two days she was well and able togo to school. I have used this remedy in my family for the past seven years and have never known it to fail," says James Prender gast, merchant, Annato Bay, Jamaica, West India Islands. The pains in the chest indicated an approaching attack of pneumonia, which in this instance was undoubtedly warded of by Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. It counteracts any tendency of a cold toward pneumo nia. Sold by Paules & Co. Firemen's Relief Association.

The Starting Point of Most Ills is Express ed Inability to get R fre'hing sleep.

"I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach & Liver Tablets almost invariably to those who have once used them," says Mr. J. H. Weber, a prominent druggist of Cascade, lowa. What better recommendation could any medicine have than for people to call for it when again in need of such a remedy? Try them when you feel dull after eating, when you have a bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious, have no ap petite or when troubled with constipa tion. and von are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief which they af ford.

It gives , the circulation of r.ir through th# soil | that keeps it light and friable, so that ; the roots penetrate through the soil to find the moisture they need. The soil does not pack after a rain, partly ow ing to the coming up of air from the ' tiles through the very channels that the water followed when It passed down to theiu. Some noticed that the lows, particularly of corn, which were ! almost directly over the line of thu drain kept green longer and produced k better crop than those which were between the drains? and the poorest rows or parts of the field were those farthest from the drain. Some say the yield doubled in the close vicinity of the drains, In which case we should think the drains were too far apart for a very dry or a wet season. But this j Is not all the value of drainage. Land that is properly drained can be work ed much earlier in the spring and is much less affected by the frosts in spring or fall because It Is drier. Wheat and clover are not so often lift ed and the roots broken during the freezing and thawing of the winter and are thus less liable to winter kill. i The Canne of It. "May I ask, sir, how it is that yon and your brother are so bald?" inquir ed the Inquisitive barber. "Well," replied the customer, "I'll tell you if you'll promise not to say anything more about it."

A room that has become stuffy from too much use or from tobacco smoke may be rendered sweet and habitable , by placing half an ouuce of spirits of lavender and a lump of salt of nnuno-1 nia in a wide mouthed fancy jar or hot- j tie and leaving it uncovered.

The modernization of Japan, In which American influence has borne a large and an honorable part, has been one of the marvels of recent years. Some idea of the progress the Japanese have made will be shown at the great in dustrial exposition to be held at Osaka in 1&03, the first ever held in Asiatic lands, to which they invite exhibitors from all nations. Osaka, the early capital of Japan, is now only second in Importance to the present capital, Tokyo, and its harbor is the finest in the inland sea. The concurrence of two such events as the Osaka exhibi tion and the St. Louis exposition, each of them commemorative of the burst ing of national limitations of different kinds, will make 1903 a remarkable year. European manufacturers will no doubt improve the opportunity, as the Birmingham I'ost Intimates that Brit ish manufacturers will do, to strength en their hold on the trade of the far east. It is not to be supposed that our own countrymen, especially on the Pa cific coast, will be laggards in compe tition. Mr. N. Kanzaki, who has been appointed special commissioner of for eign exhibits at Osaka, is now on a tour whose purpose is to encourage the rivalry of English, German and Amer ican exhibitors, particularly of ma chinery. What this and other coun tries are doing in the application of electrical power, the structural use of steel, sanitation and works of public utility is said to be an object of spe cial Interest to the progressive Japa nese. According to a statement of the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, the United States gov ernment finds that $2,000,000 will cov ' er the losses to Americans In China on account of the Boxer outrages, so far ' as they are fairly entitled to Indemnity, and that the military and naval ex penses due to the necessity of Interven ing with the other powers do not ex i ceed $5,000,000. It does not follow that the government will Insist upon the payment of only $7,000,000 and decline , to receive the balance of $18,000,000 allotted to the United States, as the 1 correspondent Infers. Possibly some | thing in the way of punitive damages or a deterrent penalty and a bond for future behavior may be exacted. How ever, if the figures quoted are correct, they justify the position originally tak en by representatives of the United States in favor of putting the Indemnity at a much lower figure than that final ly agreed upon and bring into still more glaring contrast the attitude of the European powers, which seemed i determined to cripple and bind China by piling upon her all the financial bur den she could carry for the next forty years. Proposed Appalachian farK. The friends of forest preservation will approve the action of the presi dent In sending to congress a letter accompanying a report from the secre tary of on the creation of a forest in the southern Appa lachian region. Mr. Koosevelt says in effect that the i facts given by the secretary show an I economic need of prime Importance | not only to the south, but to the whole nation, in this proposed reserve, since I the Influence of the mountain region ' "flows far beyoud its borders with the waters of the rivers to which it gives rise." As a reserve for hardwoods, the president points out, this region Is un surpassed. The Appalachian, or Alleghany, mountain range extends from Canada through New England aud the mid die Atlantic states to the northern i*art of Alabama. The Adir>nda< ks ara "outliers" and the Catskills a link of it. The name Alleghany, like Appa lachian, is of Indian origin. The for mer was adopted by the English and the latter by the Spaniards. Alle ghany means "endless," and it would seem that some operators have re garded the forests as endless by the way they have been cutting then* away. It is to check this wuste, whit b increases with the years, that the na tlonal reserve is recommended That Will Br Rnt "Potatoes are frightfully high." «a 3 Mr. Dukane.
