MONTOUR AMEJRIUAN FRANK. C. ANGLE. Proprietor. Danville. Pa.. April 10. 1902 COMMUNICATIONS. AL. communications sent to the AMERI CAN for publication must be signed by the writer, and communications not so signed will be rejected. Announcement. 1 hereby announce myself as a candi date for County Commissioner, subject to the rules of the Republican party. Your support is earnestly solicited. ,T. C. MILLER. The following from an article on "Beautifying of Village and Town." ap pearing in the current number of the Century magazine, applies with partic ular force to Danville. First in order in activities of this kind comes cleanliness. Clean streets and public places, clean private premises with these secured, the first great trans formation in the community takes place. When nuisance breeding rubbish-heaps are cleared away, and vacant lots cover ed with all sorts ofjlitter are cleaned up. everybody notes the improvement and is interested in seeing it maintained. Orderliness, ofacotirse goes hand in hand with cleanliness. The latter can not be secured'withont good order. And with good order there is an aspect of neatness that commands popular re spect It pleases the public eye. Nearly everybody will desist from throwing rubbish into a well-kept place. Public sentiment is easily cultivated in favor of public cleanliness and order. A notable instance of its growth is to be found in the agitation against spitting in public places, since it was determined that the practice was a danger to public health. The posting of notices with regula tions against it, and the frequent discus sion of the subject in the press, have made a strong impression upon public sentiment, and in consequence the of fense is not practiced to anything like the same extent in communities where there has been such agitation. Farmer Dies of Asphyxiation. Nicholas Euglehart.a farmer residing near Catawissa, was suffocated by coal gas Saturday night,and his wife is yet very ill from the effects of the nauseat ing stuff. The Bloomsburg Morning Press says: "Forgetting to properly regulate their stove, Saturday night. Nicholas Englehart, a prominent resident of Locust township, near Newlin, lost bis life and his wife is in a critical condition. After placing coal on the fire, they retired to the next room, letting the door connecting the two rooms, open. Their son-in-law. Mr. Workheiser and wife, retired .to the room above. They were awakened in the morning by the fumes of gas, which became the more sickening as they reached the first floor. Blindly mak iug his way into the room of the old couple, Mr. Workheiser found them unconscious. Then throwing open the windows, he made every effort to re suscitate them, and failing in this, be summoned medical aid. All day long physicians over the couple. Mr. Euglhart's condition was such, however, that he could not survive the shock, and on Sunday afternoon be died. "Mrs. Englehart hovers between life and death, and grave fears of her re covery are entertained.'' A Blessing in Disguise. The backwardness of spring has given rise to much grumbling. Frosty morn inns and eool evenings have prevented the donning of lighter attire,and good, hot fires are necessary for comfort in the homes and places of business. The ninth day of April finds the buds in the trees and bushes just beginning to swell. The new and tender grass is practically the only evidence that this is the venial season of the year. Instead of grumbling because of the backwardness of spring there should be rejoicing, for it is a blessing in dis guise. Every day of cold weather now is a jioiut in favor of the fruit crops. The low temperature has retarded the development of the buds that later burst into bloom and fragrance and furnish humanity with cherries,plums, peaches, apples and pears and in a short time the danger of killing frosts will have been minimized. Reports from the fruit growing districts in dicate fine crops this year, and this cheering prospect is mainly due to the protection afforded by the continu ance of cool weather. The experience in the recent years when there was an abnormal early spring, followed by frosts that played havoc with the orch ards, should not be forgotten. Don't grumble but take the weather as it comes. How's This ? We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

E. churcti. had any doubt us to the weleome he might receive it was dispelled by the delightful recep lion tendered liiin Monday night by the congregation in the lecture room ol the church. The room wus made beautiful with flowers and bunting tastefully arrang ed, while above tin* altar on a back ground of delicate color iu large let ters was the word "Welcome." A program varied and full of interest was arranged for the occasion. The young people of the church, justly noted for their fine talents, in render ing the different numbers seemed to outvie each other in their efforts to please. The siuging, which was full of feel ing and well rendered, was quite an enjoyable feature. Miss Mary Jenkins rendered a piano solo ;t liere was a song by Miss Edna Hughes, and a selection on the piano by Miss Canuard. The recitations, by Miss Mamie Keim.Miss Hannah Evans, Miss Edna Hughes and Miss Jennie Lovett.have doubtless never been surpassed oil any similar occasion, Miss Lovett's recitation especially, was a most charming ef fort and was roundly applauded. An address was delivered by David Gibson. George Lunger spoke on be half of the Epworth League and Miss Letitia Lunger 011 behalf of tin- Junior Epworth League. Rev. Cleaver 111 his response made several happy hits. The congregation could congratulate themselves,he said, 011 the fact that they had a pastor who had not been tried at Conference, which was more than a few others could say. He paid a high compliment to the people of Trinity M. E. church, quoting a gentleman of this city, whose word carries with it a good deal of weight to the effect that the young people of the congregation are educat ed and diligent in doing good beyond what is common among the churches. He was glad to be returned, he said, and was deeply touched by the cordi ality of the welcome extended. He dwelt upon the church's advancement during the past year and said that much of what had been achieved was due to the hearty support and co-op eration received from the congrega tion. At the conclusion of the pastor's ad dress refreshments were served. The girl is the mother of the woman just as "the boy is the father of the man."

Sunday morning April titli at half past three the end came. All through his sickness, which was accompani ed with intense pain, be was patient and never lost that gentle disposition for which be was so well known. His extreme politeness and concern for the feelings of his friends never desert ed him, notwithstanding he was mak ing a heroic tight against the inevit able death that was fast approaching. His age was 15 years, 7 months and l> days. He was a student in Mr. S. O. Reed's grammar school and between school hours he faithfully served as messenger at the post office, which position he filled to the greatest satis faction of bis employers as well as to the public.
