John Phillips Sousa. the celebrated
bandmaster, whose visits to Danville
are much enjoyed, ard who has been the
only musician to make money in travel
ing and rendering programs that please
the masses rather than the few cultivat
ed musicians, has written a most inter
esting article in the New York Daily
News, in which he tells how to succeed
in the management of men. Sonsa says
"You can not be merely a director of
a body of men if yon wish to manage
them. Your control over them must
be intellectual. Personal magnetism
and technical knowledge are the main
qualities. If 1 have personal magnet
ism. it consists, for one thing,iu making
every member of my band feel that he
and I alone are responsible for our con
cert. I often say to a nervous new
comer: 'Now remember, yon and I are
giving this concert. I won't fail if you
won't.' That simple device, with real
feeling back of it, helps the man and
the man helps me. But it is undoubted
ly often put down to personal magnet
ism in the ordinary sense of tin- word.
Also, 1 am never personal in any sat
irical remark I may make. Much de
pends upon that.
"Yon can not control men by making
fun of them individually Von can
control them by laughing at them all.
blaming them all, satirizing them all,
and they will all laugh together and
try to do better. But if yon single out
one man fur ridicule lie will nit,
and the rest will fear voti.
"You can not be merely a din tor of
any body of men if you wish to manage
them. Your control over them must be
more intellectual than mere direction.
You most appeal to tii it- intelligence,
and the way to do that is to suggest to
that intelligence. By this method you
will have under you not men obeying
orders, which is an example of a low
form of control indeed, nut you have
men in whom you have induced healthful
mental activity, which can only result
in intelligent and successful effort. And
they are the first to recognize this, and
your control over them in -reu - - with
this recognition. A third p:.s-ible meth
od of control is by fear. This is the
worst way in the world, but there are
certain natures from whom it seems to
witi the Hoot I Ktr-n t \«-r»
classes of men I can not control- the
excessively stupid and the exo -sively
vain."
Twelfth Regiment to be Disbauded.
Word from Harrisburg is to tfi< el
feet that the Twelfth regiment will be
disbanded in the very near future, and
its companies used in filling up tin
short regiment in thi> section of the
state. For a long time past it lias b< < n
known that several regiments of the
National Guard were to be di.-handed,
but just which regiments would be sel
ected as the ones togo, was a ques
tion that the spring inspection should
determine.
Colonel Clement of the Twelfth, is
not inclined to believe that his regi
ment is to go.
It is rumored that either the Filth
or Fourteenth regiment will also be
disbanded.
The reason given for the disbanding
of the Fourteenth is on account of the
lack of armory room. In the event
of this regiment being disbanded its
companies will be used to make the
regiments in the Second brigade twelve
companies regiments. This would
also be done with the companies of tie
Fifth regiment, if it were mastered
out. The Fifth regiment is in dis
favor owing to miseoudnct of the.
Clearfield company on inspection.

LOWER COORT
SUSTAINED
The verdict of the jury and judg
ment of this court in favor of the
Heading Iron Company, defendant, in
the case of Joseph Baran and wife was
sustained by the supreme court in an
opinion handed down yesterday. James
Scarlet, Esq., argued the case for the
company before the supreme court.
This case, which was tried in Nov
ember, ISKHI, is one of fourteen eases
brought against the Reading L'on com
pany to determine its liability for the
injuries caused by the explosion of a
steam boiler at its works at this place
on October 8, 189(5. One portion of the
boiler, it will be recalled, ploughed
through the dwelling of Joseph Baran
,on Northumberland street, causing
the death of a child. The case of
the Barans was a leading one and was
tried as a test in the court below.
Damages were claimed iu the. amount
of *>o,ooo. The jury rendered a verdict
in favor of the company. It was tak
en to the supreme court on alleged
error in the trial here.
The case, which was ably tried, was
one which attracted wide spread at
tention. The intense excitement at
tending the explosion to this day re
mains fresh iu the minds of the peo
ple, while the verdict of the jury and
the appeal of the plaintiffs to the sup
reim court were matters of absorbing
interest to the public. The judgment
of the supreme court, therefore, was
news very eagerly awaited.
The plaintiffs alleged that the cause
o tiie accident was the negligence of
the company and brought suit on that
ground. The company defended on
the ground that there was no negli
gence and that the cause ot the explo
sion was unknown. The plaintiffs
failed to convince the jury that there
was any negligence and the jury decid
ed against them. The judgment of the
supreme court sustains the verdict of
the jury.

THE COLUMBIA
GUARDS
The articles printed in tliese col
umns relating to the return of the
Columbia Guards lias brought out sev
earl other relics of that band of fam
ous fighters in the war with Mexico
in which our county justly takes such
a pride.
Our townsman, John G Brown, pos
sesses the drum which accompanied
the Columbia Guards to the laud of the
Moutezuinas and 011 which through
their stirring campaign >vas beat the
tattoo which at night sent them to their
quarters and 011 which at morn was
sounded the reveille whioh summoned
them to the toilsome march or the con
flict of battle. Except that it is some
what higher the drum differs but lit
tle from those in use at later times. It
bears the marks of hard service and is
a most venerable relic, which increases
in interest with each succeeding year
as the last of the few survivors who
rsponded to its call one by one pass to
the other world.
The old drum has a fine companion
relic in a handsomely printed program
of the military and civic procession
to receive and welcome the Columbia
Guards and Wyoming Artillerists,
which has been carefully preserved by
our townsman. Robert D. Magill.
The parade, which took place Thurs
day, July 27, 1848, seems to have been
quite an imposing affair. The military
of Columbia, Northumberland, Union,
Lycoming and Luzerne counties undei
command of Major General Greene,
Brigadier General Watson and other
geueral officers formed the first divi
sion. The arrival of the volunteers
and the movement of the column was
announced by a field piece furnished
by Captain Hugh McWilliams of Lib
erty township under the command of
Lieutenant John McWilliams of the
Liberty Artillerists.
The welcoming address was deliver
ed by J. Cooper, Esq.
PHILADELPHIA & READINGS NEW
DEPARTURE.
Hourly Trains Between Philadelphia and
New York.
To improve its passenger service this
Spring, the Philadelphia iV Reading
Railway is making many additions to
its schedule.
Beginning with the new time-table
effective about May 18th.the company
proposes to inaugurate hourly service
of fast express trains between Reading
Terminal.Philadelphia.and New York
and will run entirely independent of
the lioyal Blue Line service, and the
refore will obviate alt change of cars,
waiting for connections,etc.,at Wavne
Junction.
These trains will leave the Termin
al stations. both in Philadelphia and
New York, week-days, ar 7 :<><). s :00,
it:00, 10:00, 11:00 A. M., l »:00noon,
1:00, 2:00, a :00, 4:00, 5 :00, <1 :00 and
T :<X) P. M.
The equipments of these trains vvill
be thoroughly up to date, solid vesti
bule coaches and Pullman Parlor cars,
provided with buffet service when
needed, and while the running time
has not been definitely determined on,
they will undoubtedly keep up the
Philadelphia & Reading standard of
as fast speed a- i- compatible with
safctv and comfort.
It is expected that this new service
will be well patronized. Persons will
not need to consult time-tables, being
assured of catching a fast train each
hour of the business day.

Adjutaut ami Mrs. fleift.
Adjutant and Mrs. Heift of Oil City
will arrive in this city on Saturday,
for a few days stay among their many
friends in Danville.
The Adjutant was in charge of I lie
Danville barracks several years ago,
and it is largely owing to his efforts
that the Army hero secured its sub
stantial quarters. He left Danville
for Dußois where he remained a year
and after his promotion, from Ensign
to Adjutant, was transferred to oil
City. With Mrs. lleift hi' will con
duct the services on Saturday evening.
Sunday services and the special ser
vice on Monday evening. Adjutaut
and Mrs Heift are talented in a music
al way and always hold interesting
meetings.
Definite plans for the state conven
tion <>f flie Knights of the (i-olden Eagle
have been adopted at Shamokin by the
general committee. Chief Burgess
William Thomas will deliver the ad
dress of .welcome to the delegates, of
whom 700, representing 50,(MX) Eagles,
are expected to be present. The ses
sions will he held in the opera house
and will l>egin Tuesday, May 13, in
the afternoon of which day the com
mittee expects to have 7,000 men in
line. Headquarters of the Grand Castle

MAR ATA.
One day 1 walked about our camp in
Hie west with the Indians when my
eyes fell upon the face of a young girl
of their band. 1 happened to be near
one i>f the mess fires where the men
were cooking supper, and one of them
used some coarse ribaldry in his refer
ence to Marata, for such was her name.
Quick as a flash one of his companions,
Edward Robson, a young giant of a
plainsman, sprang at him with the
ferocity of a tiger, and thenceforward
the careless jester carried a gap in his
teeth as a memento of his rashness.
One day late In July the sun had
dropped so low that we were in the
grateful shadow of the hills to the
westward, and the small mess fires
were beginning to show their yellow
glare among the trees in preparation
for the evening meal. Robson was talk
ing earnestly with Marata.
"Am I never to see you where I can
talk to you as I want?" he asked In the
Navajo tongue. "You know I love you,
Marata, and that I shall make you my
Wife when I get i.:;* \ a» !
shall be happy then together. But it is
too long to wait. I must see you and
talk to you of the plans I have for our
lives."
He told her that ho was to be on
picket duty that night, and she con
sented to Join him and fly with him.
Their signal was to be the howl of a
coyote.
When they were gone, another figure,
crouched in a clump of bushes,
straightened itself from its cramped
position and raised its hand with a
savage gesture.
It was the Indian Wild Horse, who
had slipped into this concealment,
where he could hear the lovers' inter
course and Marata's promise.
When Robson went to his post on
I>lcket that night, it was with heart
beating high and eyes kindled with a
gleam of satisfaction.
With a step as light as a boy's he
paced back and forth, back and forth,
humming to himself beneath his
breath the melody of a fervid Spanish
love song.
"Only 9 o'clock," he said impatiently
at length. "That means a long wait
yet, for she said she would not come
until all was quiet, but I would wait
for years if 1 expected her to come at
last."
Hark! A dreary, dismal howl came
to him on the night air, making his
heart leap. Could it be the signal? Yes,
there it came again and again! Surely
It must be Marata, for the cry swelled
aud waned, long drawn and sad as the
cry of the lost. Robson hid his rifle in
a thicket, then drew it out again.
"I must have my rifle in case I
should be seen by one of the other
pickets," he said. He slung it across
his shoulder and stole with stealthy
stop out into the shadows.
"Marata!"
"Here!" a voice answered him from
tin- darkness.
Aud the impatient lover swung him
self down the cliff with the aid of the
overhanging bushes and stunted trees.
"Marata!" he called again eagerly.
And again the voice answered close
at hand, and he saw a dim figure out
lined in the obscure shadows of the
canyon, where the starlight only pene
trated fitfully. It was not Marata, for
the dim light showed him an uplifted
arm and the pale glitter of a steel
blade descending, and he felt the sharp
pain of the knife in his shoulder, stum
bled and fell, sliding helplessly down
the slope to the bottom of the canyon.
It.was the fall that saved him, for
otherwise his assailant would have
I leaped upon him, and another thrust
| of the cruel knife would have sent him
out Into the unknown. As it was, he
j hud time to reeover hltns«»l - , r ♦<->
ills feet and draw his own knife before
Wild Horse could su ing himself down
the wall of rock to renew the attack.
Robson's years of frontier service had
made him as skillful with the knife as
the Indian himself, and he was no less
lithe and strong in body and courage
ous in heart, but as they bent, swayed
and struggled, watchful and wary, the
wound in Robson's shoulder began to
i tell and the loss of blood to weaken
him.
A strange feeling of languor took pos
session of him, the glitter of the stars
seemed farther away, and then they
danced before his very eyes as he stum
bled and slipped over the rough stones.
Blindly he staggered. His nerveless
hand could hardly hold the knife. It
was growing darker, darker. Suddenly
there came a flash and roar from the
wall of the canyon. Wild Horse
screamed in agony, threw his arms
aloft and fell upon the stones. But
Robson did not heed nor see. The whole
earth reeled before him, and he sank
into unconsciousness. When he awoke,
a flre lit up the canyon, a group of cu
rious soldiers stood about him, and his
head was pillowed upon Marata's
breast.
"Wild Horse came first," she whis
pered when he could listen. "I saw him
slip away and steal down the canyon,
and I followed as fast as I could, for I
knew he meant harm, but I could not
keep up with him. I heard the struggle
and came down into the canyon. Upon
the wall my foot struck the rifle lying
among the stones, audit was with that
I shot him. The Great Spirit put it In
my way."
Robson did not answer in words. lln
was smiling peacefully, and his glad
eyes answered for him.
Tnryeiitlne For Corns.
The cheapest and surest remedy for
either hard or soft corns is turpentine.
If a little of this is rubbed on a corn
every evening for about two weeks, the
corn and roots will both come entirely
out and will not reappear in any form.
If the turpentine runs onto the adjoin
ing skin, it will cause a little soreness,
but otherwise the remedy is as painless
as It is efficient.
CONVINCING PROOF.
The Average Danville Oitizeu Must Accept
the Following Proof.
The great Sir Isaac Newton, one of
the most profound reasoners the world
ever produced, once cut a large hole in
a board fence to allow a favorite cat
access to two gardens,and cut a a small
er hole t<> allow her kitten to follow her.
The weakness manifested in Sir Isaac,s
action was due to want of thought. Any
reader who mentally debates the proof
offered here about Doan's Kidney Pills
and arrives at any other conclusion
than that stated in this citizen's state
ment, is as short reasoning as the philos
pher when he turned carpenter.
Mr. W. Richard, Grocer, living
Cor. Iron and Thirk streets . Blooms
burg, says i was taken suddenly with
stiches in my back which were so de
cruciating, that I almost fell to the
ground. 1 was confined to my bed
Doan's Kidney Pills came to my atten

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
A I.our Felt Want.
Who docs uot know the bother that
ijjay be caused by a demand for so
pimple u thing as a piece of toast? If i
cook Is trying to heat her oven, she j
must give up the attempt for awhile.
Einee toast must be made over the
oals, and this necessitates the removal
Of the stove lid aud the consequent
cooling of the fire. Much the same
condition exists for tlie heating of the
boiler or for the quickening of the tire
Itself. Therefore the latest invention
for help In this matter will soon be
hanging in every kitchen. It consists of
a circle of asbestus, Just about the size
of an ordinary stove lid. It is cover
ed with a tine wire netting and sup
plied with a handle of coiled wire.
This is fitted over the fire without dis
turbing its condition. It does not check
the draft In any way, and the bread
on it turns a beautiful golden brown
without danger of a scorch, while the
oven and the boiler are busy about
their own duties.
Latent in Luinbretjains.
The lambrequin has unquestionably
returned to the haunts of fashion, al
though it is now called a valance, a
term that formerly was applied to
gathered lower draperies and uot to
straight upper curtains. A charming
example seen in a recently furnished
studio lias a straight top valance of
sage green velours, with a center de
sign in gold applique. A long piece of
sage green and dull gold silk brocade
is used for the side drapery and is car
ried up under the valance at each side,
witli the middle portion drawn in a
festoon over the velours in such a way
that the appliqued part is fully shown.
The lower side edges of the velours
also are seen. This looped part of the
curtain and the lower edge of the val
ance are finished with gold tassel
fringe. The valance is fastened to the
brass pole by brass rings.

Rugs on the floors of a house not only
aid In the decoration of the rooms, but
are a necessity to protect the carpets
from wear, and yet when they begin to
curl up at the corners and people catch
their toes in them they become a veri
table nuisance, it is to prevent this
curling up of the corners that the rug
stralghtener shown here has been de
sigued, the rug being shown wrong
side up to expose the device to view
The invention, which lias been paten
ed by George T. Weeks of Ed on, O.
consists of n series of tlat strips of m£t
————— ■ *
THE DEVICE IS PLACE,
a! or wood, which are inserted in pock
ets arranged near the corners and sides
of the rug. The pockets are shaped to
receive the ends of the strips and may
be sewed to the rug or fastened by
means of wire staples. To insert the
strips they are bent slightly to bring
the ends nearer together, and the whole
device is thin enough to be hardly no
tiuoablw tvban the rug is oil the floor.
The idea may also be applied to the
large rugs covering a whole floor, a pair
of the strips being placed in each cor
ner at right angles to each other.

Wicker and rush chairs may be giv
en a new and stylish appearance by
staining. This cannot be done, howev
er, If the pieces have been painted.
Forest green, old gray, scarlet and dull
blue, as well as black, are the colors
most used and add quite a touch of in
dividuality to an ordinary piece of fur
niture. Easy chairs may have uphol
stered seats and cushion backs covered
with velours, corduroy or a bit of the
many beautiful designs in cretonne and
chintz. For a green chair a green
chintz with yellow roses makes a
charming combination, or spotted green
velours can be used. The dull gray
chairs may be upholstered with rich
| deep reds or gayly flowered cretonnes.
The red or black chairs acquire a more
subdued design, and the blue chairs are
pretty with cushions made of green
and blue cretonne.
llurned Wood Decoration.
Pyro, or burned wood, decoration is
applied to match receptacles iu these
days of general decoration. On one
fancifully designed match receptacle,
with panel attachment, seen recently
the following quotation from "Romeo
and Juliet" is etched on the panel:
"She doth make the torches to burn."
A. profile view of an Italian girl occu
pies the center of the panel.
A torch is shown burning on another
section, and the light from it flares in
sweeping lines over the wooden sur
face. The head and torch are touched
with red, which appears in the lips and
theeks of the girl and the flame of the
K»rch. The match receptacle is a small
f>pen box of wood fastened at the bot
tom of the panel.
For a Hailcy Voice.
To make a husky voice strong and
clear bathe the throat, chest ami back
morning and evening to the waist line
with cold water. Follow by a brisk
rubbiDg with a rough towel. Use t In
voice properly. Sounds should be ex
pelted by the abdominal muscles.
Tile Snvinn Scime of Humor.
Some of the world's greatest humor
ists unite with that sprightly gift a
deep tenderness and broad sympathy.
Their lips smile at a spectacle of the
absurd at the same instant that their
eyes overflow In recognizing the pathos
that is Its so frequent accompaniment.
It is this quick perception of a situa
tion as a whole, this power to see all
Its aspects at once, that gives us Just
Judgments tempered by mercy, severity
lined with leniency, that acts as a sav
ing grace to culprits.
The world would be better and hap
pier If every one In it who is invested
with authority over his fellows had
this peculiar sympathy with wit, which
makes it Impossible for one to be a
bigot and a tyrant. Humor and cruel
ty do not go together, although there
Is a kind of counterfeit humor, some
times mistaken for the real thing,
which Is essentially oppressive, be
cause it finds enjoyment in looking
upon that which Is at the same time
grotesque and horrible. But this is
far removed from the gentle humor
which mellows their Judgments and
humanizes actions. Florence Hull

Notes from the Pennsylvania Experiuieut
Station.
For years the adulteration of coffee
by addition or substition of other sub
stances has been a matter of common
knowledge; recently, however, the
table has been turned and coffee sup
plies the adulterant. A sample of
bran was submitted to the Experiment
Station, a short time since, for exami
i
nation, with the statement that horses
and cattle would not eat it. Chemi
cal analysis showed the presence of 8
per cent, of protein and nearly per
cent, of fiber or woody matter, where- (
as average bran contains 15.5 and U
per cent., respectively of these consti
tuents. Particles of yellow, tough,
parchment-like substance were present I
in large quantity; they proved, upon
microscopical examination, to be por- i
tions of the inner seed-coat of the
coffee-berry. This has recently been
put upon the market as a cattle-food
under the name "eornaline;" accord
ing to analysisJiy the New Jersey Ex
periment Station it contains ouly •i.'i I
to:s per cent, of portein, .5 to .7 per j
cent, of fat and about til) per cent, of
fiber; so that it has an extremely low
value for feeding purposes and will j
scarcely find sale upon its own merits, j
It may, however, like oat-hulls, j
ground corn-cobs and similarly poor
foods, lie employed as an adulterant.
Dr. Winton, of the Connecticut Exper
iment Station, to whom a portion of
the sample was sent for examination,
states that he had received, only a day
or two earlier, a sample of bran from
Massachusetts that proved to be adul
terated with the same material. Farm
ers should be on the look-out for this
admixture in tin- concentrated feeds
they buy; in its coarser condition its
toughness and parchment-like appear
ance will enable the buyer to discover
it in many cases by the unaided eye.
Its microscopic appearance is highly
characteristic; the inner seed-coat of
the coffee having, when magnified by
thirty or forty diameters, a peculiar
marking that much resembles that of
the skin on the ball of the lingers.
No other such adulterant possesses
this distinctive marking.
WM FREAR.
The annual reports and quarterly
bulletins of this station will be sent,
free of charge, on application, and in
quiries on agricultural subjects an
swered so far as possible.
