COL. GRIFFITH
A DANV ILLE BOY
Colonel Griffith J. 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.
The line-up for the game of basket
ball to be played at the Armory to

A fielpleM Child.
A weak and puny child is badly hand
icapped in the battle of life. It is' isolat
ed fr -m the healthy enjoyments of its
little fellow—being It cannot partake
either of their play or their sturdy work
and progress in the world, its whole life
is embittered by incapacity and weak
ness
Any woman who expects to become
a mother ought to know what Dr.
Pierce s Favorite Prescription will do
both for her own health and safety dur
ing her time of trial and also to insure
her in bequeathing a fair measure of
health and strength to the prospective
little one.
The Woman's Benevolent society of
tbis city will meet at the residence of
Dr. S. Y Thompson Bl«on street, at 8
o clock this afterocwu.
AMUSEMENTS.
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."

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

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.
D .and when I got home with it the poor
baby could hardly breathe I gave the
medicine as directed every ten minutes
uutil he "threw up" and then I thought
sure he was going to chok - to death
We had to pnll the phlegm out of bis
month in great long strings. I am
positive that if I had not got tint bottle
of cough medicine, my boy would not
be no earth to-day.—Joel Dkmont,

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
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.

possession of 122 acres of coal land im
mediately adjoining the Lehigh Valley
railroad station at Mt. Carmel. The
defendant acquired title through a sale
by the sheriff in I*4o. which it is claim

Cooling Room Installed.
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

"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

WHEN TROUBLE COMMENCES.
The Starting Point of Most Ills is Express
ed Inability to get R fre'hing sleep.
Everything ch tng> sand aui >ngother•
is the marked increase in the numberof
people who fail to get restful sleep, tljey
awake with a start twitch or jump and
cannot get to sleep again. Usually
other symptoms follow along and in
creased in proportion until restless sleep
is allayed. Then brain, h<'art. stomach

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Value of DralnHKf*
More than one fanner \vbo ha.s put
tile or other underground drains in his i
fields, or a part of them, learned thi3
year the value of drainage in a
drought as well as in a wet season, '
Bays American Agriculturist. 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.

"May I ask, sir, how it is that yon

"Well," replied the customer, "I'll

"Oh, certainly, sir"'
"Well, It's because our hair has fallen

Mme. Pompadour had a wonderful

the naked eye. It Is now in existence,
broken and apart, but still showing
traces of its great beautv.
Hott to Fruhcn a Room.
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. This is a
pleasant deodorizer and disinfectant,
filling the room with a delicate per- ,
fume.

No matter how hard

Cherry Pectoral is the
best thing you can take.
It's too risky to wait
until you have consump

today, get a bottle of
Cherry Pectoral at once.

Japan's Coining Exposition.
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
