NEVER LEFT ~
THE GROUNDS
Castle Grove stately in its architec
ture and beautiful in all its surround
ings enjoys the distinction of being a
most charming country seat aud yet
one would hardly l'ancy that the place
was beautiful enough aud all the con
ditions there so nearly ideal as to hold
a person a willing captive within its
enclosure for a period of eleven years.
This is precisely what has occurred.
Eleven years ago Miss Sophia Scli
• eustein, a native of Sweden, arrived
in this city from New York to fill tlie
position of cook at Castle Grove. She
arrived on the 4:35 p. m. D. L. & W.
passenger train, and proceeded direct
to Castle Grove. From that day until
Thursday morning she never set her
foot off the grounds, although she was
at liberty at almost any time to visit
town. Her object in leaving the
gounds Thursday was to take the train
for New York,having severed her con
nection with Castle Grove. In con
versation witli a reporter she explain- 1
ed that during her long term of eleven
years she found life very pleasant at
Castle Grove and had no desire to
leave the grounds. The woman seem
ed to be about middle age and fairly
intelligent. Henceforth, she said, she
will reside with her niece in New
York. She was accompanied on her
trip by Mrs. Pauline Shillstrom, an
other attache of Castle Grove.
The sum of human knowledge will
shortly be vastly increased,temporari
ly, when sweet girl graduates and
sturdy young men students will re
ceive their diplomas; and then the
world will gradually sink back to its
wrongs and everything will have to
be done over again at the commence
ments next Spring. 'Tina sad thought,
but one through which a ray of hope
comes beaming. The wonder has ever
existed at commencement time that
such small heads "could carry all they
knew." The youngsters mean well
and who would deny them the glow
ing panorama that opens before their
vision.
av. traie nas passed when "Success
in Life" was the main theme worked
over in different forms. Now tariff
revision, the need of a larger navy,ex
pansion. and a score of political and
economic questions take the place of
the threadbare subjects of years ago.
This gradual development to more
sensible aud more practical subjects
might be carried still further. The
"sweet girls" might tell what they
know of the benefits to be derived
from scientific cookery, the influence
of the mother upon the nation, the
consideration of character building as
a practical science. Their many broth
ers might discuss the proper proportion
necessary of determination and ability
in overcoming inertia, or the art of a
man earning enough to put on the table
and on his back.
Not quite so high sounding, but just
as much an evidence of having acquir
ed an education would theses of this
kind be. The world needs young men,
but it does not have particular use for
commencement orations aside from
the pleasure derived in hearing a
young man or woman take a roseate
view of things.
It has not yet been officially an
nounced but it is generally understood
that the Gettysburg battlefield has
been selected as the camping ground
tor the N. G. P. this year. The partic
ular spot selected is understood to be
the scene of Picket charge.
Gettysburg will prove attractive to
the Guardsmen and will doubtless
stimulate enlistments. It has its draw
back-, however,not the least of which
is the poor railroad facilities and the
fact that the locality is usually one
of either very dusty or very muddy.
These will doubtless be overlooked
because of the opportunity it will
afford the men to visit that historic
battlefield and see where flood tide of
the rebellion was and rolled back.
When a boy turns his bulging pocket
inside out we marvel at the quantity
and variety of articles he has stowed
away. Odd lengths of strings, marbles,
a horse-chestnut, a top, brass nails,hick
ory-nuts, an apple, and many more art
icles are garned by this "snapjier up of
unconsidered trifles." We think the
collection must be hard on a boy's pock
et, and it is. lint do we ever think of
the variety and miscellany of the sulwt
aiice we put into the pocket of the stom
ach? There's the apple and the nuts,
and things besides quite as indigestible
as brass nails and with no more food
value than so many marbles. And yet
we wonder that the stomach ' 'gives out."
When the stomach breaks down under
the strain of careless eating and irregul
ar meals it can be perfectly and perma
nently restored to health and strength
by the use of Doctor Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. The action of this
medicine on the stomach and other or
gans of digestion and nutrition is so
marked, that relief from disease is at
once experienced, and the headaches,
liver "troubles" kidney disorders, skin
erruptions and other symptoms of a <
diseased stomach are quickly cured. (
Whenever the use of a laxative medicine
is indicated, use Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They act in harmony with the 1
"Discovery "and assist its action by purg- s
ing the bowels of fonl accumulation. v
AN UNQUESTIONABLE
PROCEDURE
The rather remarkable and strateget
ic procedure of some Mr. Carmel
people who were determined to force
a patient into the Hospital at t his
place now closed by quarantine call
ed forth a perfect storm of indigna
tion about town Thursday.
As might be inferred no patients will
be admitted to the Hospital as long as
the quarantine lasts. So that when Dr.
Meredith was called up by the Mt.
Carmel authorities on Wednesday
night ami informed that they had a
patient for the hospital he peremptori
ly told them that the man could not
be admitted, explaining the reason
why.
The patient for whom admission
was asked was John Suszezcwez (ren
dered into English as "Savage") a na
tive of Russian Poland, 4.") years of
age, who went violently insane on
Tuesday night last. Seizing two ol
his children he threw them out of the
second story window. 11 < fell into a
• perfect frenzy and it was necessary to
bind him with ropes. "Savage" is a
miner by occupation and a resident of
Mt. Carmel township.
I In view of his conversation with the
I Mt. Carmel authorities on Wednesday
night Dr. Meredith's surprise Thurs
day can easily be imagined when lie
saw a two seated carriage drive up
to the Hospital, containing the insane
1 man, "Savage," and four other men.
They affected to know nothing of tin
doctor's refusal the night before to
accept the patient. Neither did they
know, they said, that there was any
small-pox at the Hospital until they
reached Elysburg on their way to this
city.
The party, which contained two
members of the board "of poor over
seers, John A. Bricker and Columbus
Mcßride, were determined to leave
the patient at the Hospital. Dr. Mer
edith, however, stood firm in his posi
tion and refused to admit him. The
men finally finding further effort futile
without alighting from the vehicle,
turned and drove away taking the in
sane man with them.
Sometime afterward a strange man
was seen about the entrance to the
Hospital corridor who was recognized
as "Savage," the insane man. Not
one of his four attendants, however,
were to be seen. Suspecting a trick
of some sort Dr. Meredith telephoned
down town, asking the police to inter
cept the party and to come up for the
insane man. Not only did the fact of
the quarantine preclude the admission
of Savage to the Hospital but the fact
that lie hailed from Mt. Carmel, at
present a hot bed of small-pox, was in
itself a cause sufficient to exclude him.
Officer Voris at once started for the
Hospital. He had not proceeded far
up East Market street when he met
Savage coming down. The officer took
him into custody and conducted him
in the direction of the jail. The in
sane man produced the commitment
papers, which had been placed upon
his person and incoherently and in
broken English began to ask some
questions concerning them. As they
approached the prison the man began
to resist. At this juncture Constable
Young happened to come along, who
willingly lent a hand. It proved to
be all the. two ..~v.i.i <i<.
Ed by an attache of the jail, to land
Savage in a cell, who by that time
was in a frenzy.
The two members of the Mt. Carmel
Poor board and their assistants were
soon located. They took the view that
as one of the districts which helps to
support the Hospital Mt. Carmel
township is entitled to room for its
insane in the institution, small pox
or no small pox. They admitted that
they had turned the patient loose at
the Hospital after placing the com
mitment papers in his pockets, al
though they had no excuse to offer for
such a questionable procedure, which
placed the lives of innocent people in
peril. For Savage was dangerous, un
fit to be at large, and more than or
dinarily hard to handle.as was attested
by the fact that it required four men
to bring him to Danville.
Trustee H. M. Schocli tried to reason
with the men, reminding them that
they might have to pay pretty dearly
for their folly if they attempted to
escape from town, leaving their pa
tient behind. They were disposed to
spurn the warning; they halted be
tween two opinions for an hour or
more, but finally loaded up their in
sane; charge and started back to Mt.
Carmel.

THEY LEFT TOWN
DOUBLE QUICK
The two Russians with a bear, who
were driven out of Sunbury on Mon
day, found their way to this city, yes
terday, arriving here about 11 :30 a.
m.
Bruin and his bewbiskered masters
entered town by way of Northumber
land street. Opposite the Reading Iron
Works they were waited upon by a
delegation of working men, who gave
them to understand in pointed terms
that they were not wanted here and
t they had better leave just as fast as
they could trot out of town. The re
ception was frigid enough for even a
i Polar bear and was quite in line with
the ones received at Sunbury and
i Shamokiu. There was no mistaking
the mood of the men who waited up
on them and the Russians readily re
alized what they were "up against."
i Up Northumberland street, across
Mill and out Bloom street, the party
went on double quick time, Bruin for
l once escaping the task usually im
i posed on him at every corner of doing
i stunts in return for the few coppers
collected.
The police at once got wind of the
. intruders and started in pursuit fol
■ lowing up Bloom street, but by the
time they reached the borough limits
. tin; bear and the Russians were disap
i pearing in the distance east of town.

lodging accommodations being taken
up,apartments in the Root House have
been furnished with beds, wardrobes,
tables, chairs,etc.,for the accommoda

Charles Sutton, Mowrey street, is
at present tilling the position of nurse
in the family of Herbert Sheetz,Frank
lin township, Columbia county, which
is sadly stricken with small-pox, Mr.
Sheet/, and wife,a brother of the form
er and the two children of the family
are all down with the dreaded disease.
It i» thought that small-pox was con
tracted in Mt. Carmel where Mr.
Sheetz attended market. The disease
fortunately is in a mild form; never
theless the danger of contagion exists.
In order to prevent the spread of the
disease the school board of Franklin
township has resolved itself into a
board of health and is maintaining
a quarantine of the infected family.
In addition to Mr. Sutton, a woman
nurse is also employed.

THERE IS A Rid
DIFFERENCE
The Great Wallace Show, which is
advertised to appear in Danville on
Tuesday, May "JO,claims to he different ;
from other shows, and judging from
the great variety of features and at
tractions advertised, it will have 110
trouble to convince its patrons that it :
is very different from other tent shows. '
After due reflection the oft-repeated
sentiment, "When you have seen one
circus you have seen tlieni all," ap
pears very absurd. One might a* well
say, "When you have read one maga
zine you have read them all, "or" When
you have heard one lecturer you have
hoard theni all," or. "When you have
seen one play you have seen them all,"
or, "When you have heard one baud
you have heard them all," as to say,
"When you have seen one circus you
have seen them all." A visit to the
Wallace Show will convince the most
skeptical that such sentimental talk is
foolish, without foundation, and up
on investigation it resolves itself into
an exaggerated absurdity. The Great
Wallace Show lias horses and so have
orher shows, but the Wallace Show
has "the fine i horses on earth."
Other shows have bands, acrobatic
performers, rideis. etc., but they are
all very different from those with the
Wallace Show. Ihe Great Wallace
Show is in a higher class; it pays high
er salaries, and not only secures super
ior performers mentioned above,but it
has many novel, new and mysterious
acts that can not be imitated by other
people successfully.
The Great Wallace shows will ex
hibit for one day only in Danville on
Tuesday, May 20th.
