IN FAVOR OF
THE NEGATIVE
The annual contest between the
Garfield anil Lincoln Literary Societies
of the High School took place Fri
day afternoon. With the single ex
cept ion of Commencement there is no
event connected with our Schools in
which the public shows a greater in
terest than in these annual affairs,
which so strikingly reveal the progress
and mental development of the pupils
and reflect so creditably upon the gen
eral efficiency of our schools. The
large audience, Friday, which lit
erally packed the High School room,
was 110 exception to the rule which
has obtained in the past.
The contest was presided over by
Mr. Randall Jacobs of the Garfield
Society and Miss Kathryn Rogers of
the Lincoln Society.
The program as announced in these
columns was fully carried out with
the exception of two numbers,a recita
tion and a vocal solo by Miss Olive
Rank, who was detained at her home
by illness. For Miss Rank's recitation
one by Miss Catharine Vastine was
substituted,'entitled: "Rich Man, Poor
Man, Beggar Man, Thief."
Without exception the speakers
showed themselves thoroughly at home
before an audience, speaking without
the least embarrassment, revealing a
good knowledge of elocution and the
benefit of abundant drill. The music
was really something to enjoy, no
number on the whole program probab
ly winning more appreciative applause
than the violin solo by Frank Kemmer
and the instrumental trio by Misses
Cousart, Divel and Books.
It was in the debate, however, that
the greatest interest centered. The
subjectßesolved, That man is more
powerful intellectually than woman,"
was one that admitted of a great deal
of argument and to the credit of both
affirmative and negative it must be
acknowledged that the ground was
very thoroughly covered.
The debate was opened by Charles
Hartt for the affirmative, who advanc
ed several novel propositions. In as
suming man's superiority over woman,
he did not deny that she is splendidly
endowed intellectually ; he admitted
that she is strong mentally,but insist
ed that man is stronger. Woman, he
held, surpasses man in capacity of
emotion and susceptibility of impres
sion. Man, however,in his judgment,
reasoning power and general mentality
surpasses the female sex. Woman
knows certain things by intuition ;man
reaches his conclusion by the exercise
of reason. His mental grasp is broad
er and his judgment is more to be re
lied upon. The human brain in man,
he said, weighs more than that of wo
man, the difference being some 5? a
ounces. Logically, this deficiency of
brains matter, he held, must manifest
itself in diminished brain power.
Again, man eats more than woman,
the difference according to Mr. Hartt's
figuring being '2O per cent. As all
human energy results from amount of
food taken, it seemed clear to him
bittat niCUJt !•»*• 3 -
man in this respect which must show
in greater intellectuality. The brain of
the male, he said, when examined
after death shows a greater number of
convolutions than the same organ in
woman, which is taken to indicate
greater mental activity.
Howard Lunger opened lor the nega
tive, disputing with a good deal of
effect the propositions advanced by the
affirmative.
It remained for Miss Harman as a
woman to sustain the view that her
sex is mentally inferior toman. It
has been so demonstrated in the past,
she said, and remains so today. Wo
man is great through her heart, but
man has always directed the impulses
of the world. Man is the image and
glory of God and woman the image
and glory of man.
Carlton McHeury was the second
speaker for the negative and he very
ably sustained his side. He was fol
lowed by George Maier, Jr., for flic
affirmative who in turn was succeed
ed by Raymond Herrington for the
negative.
Dr. E. A. Curry, Rev. N. E. Cleaver
aud Hon H. M. Hiuekley were select
eci as judges. They retired at the close
of the debate, but soon returned with
their decision, which was announced
by Mr. Hinckley.
For declamation the honor was
awarded to F. Pursel Angle of the
Lincoln Society; for recitation, to
Miss Catherine Vastine of the Garfield
Society,. In the debate the decision
was rendered in favor of the nega
tive.
Class Return Thanks.
The graduating class of the Danville
high school for extends thanks to
the following: Mr. George M. West,
who on behalf of the Standard Electric
company gave the class the use
of the vari-colorcd lights ;Mr. O'Hara,

BATHING lit RIM
COAL H TONS
The prediction made by this paper
that ovving to the miners' strike our
citizens this year would no doubt
bestir tiiemsevles to gather all the.
coal possible from the river is already
proving true. Although the stream
has not yet reached low water mark,
a surprising quantity of eoal has al
ready been gathered from the channel.
Frank Koss and Henry Klase have
each brought into shore enough to last
them for a year or more.
The prevailing size corresponds to
egg coal, although much of it is larg
er; in Mr. Ross's pi le,especially,there
are chunks as large as a man's head.
The coal is uniformly of a good
quality, the proportion of slate being
little if any greater than in that pur
chased from the coal yards.
A number of other persons have al
ready taken coal from the river both
in this city and Riverside. The in
dustry will increase rapidly from now
on as the water falls and new deposits
become exposed and easily accessible,
so that it is not improbable that before
the season closes several hundred tons
will find their way from the river
into the various cellars of town.
Few persons have any idea of the
enormous quantity of coal that is
borne down the river. Much of this
finds its way from the mines to the
Susquehanna via the Black and Nes
copcck creeks,each of which as the re
sult of successive floods is lined with
thick deposits of the waste of Anthra
cite mines and the waters are much of
tin- time of an inky hue. At many
places up the river the huge culm banks
lie close to the shore and at times of
exceptionally high water, as occurred
last spring, the hanks are washed
away in large sections.
The culm banks and the waste from
mines are by no means made up ex
clusively of slate, coal dust, &c.
Under the methods employed to keep
the coal clean at the collieries, it
seems, that a great deal that is good
i> rejected, a fact attested by the
quantities of pure coal found in the
river here.
Teachers Examination.
The examination of teachers for the
borough schools took place in the
High School room Tuesday, con
ducted by Borough Superintendent
Gordy. There were only three appli
cants in the class. Of these only one
is a member of our corps of teachers as
employed last year, two of those ex
amined being applicants for any vac
ancy that may occur.
Several facts are brought out by the
examination, which show our corps of
teachers as wide awake and booked up
to a point a little 111 advance of what
is required of them.
There is but one teacher in the
whole corps who lacks cither a
normal school diploma or a permanent
Certificate and is obliged to stand
an examination. This, significant
enough in itself, is rendered more so
i.y ti>a »i.u» J.. *»•" excep
tion the young lady lias taught only
one year and is therefore not eligible
lor a permanent certificate, and that
otherwise she would be as well equip
ped as any, as she lacks nothing either
in point of ability or ambition to suc
ceed. The examination yesterday em
braced the two new studies—algebra
and civics—added to the common
school branches by the act of 1901.
Nothing could reflect more to the
'credit of the teachers than the fact
that there is not one of them hut hail
mastered the new subjects and had
them added to her certificate long be
fore she was required to teach them.
Time was not many years ago when
a large proportion of the borough
teachers held only provisional certifi
cates and were examined each year.
The changed condition illustrates
that in the march of progress the pub
lit; schools are keeping abreast of oth
er institutions.

What does it profit a woman if she
gain the whole world of knowledge and
lose her own health? Young women
students, and school teachers, eager,
ambitious, and full of energy,very often
neglect their health in the struggle to
gain education. They eat insufficient
food, and at irregular hours, they allow
irregularity of the womanly functions
to be established, and the result is that
they become chronic invalids with all
their adnction practically worthless.
There is a plain road back to health
for such as these, marked l>v the feet of
thousands. It is the use of Dr. Pierce's
(iolded Medical Discovery for diseases of
the stomach and digestive and nutritive
organs, and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pres
cription for diseases of the delicate org
ans of womanhood. A cure so certainly
follows the use of these remedies that
out of hundreds of thousands who have
tried the treatment.ninety-eight in every
hundred have been perfectly and perman
ently cured. Constipation, with its
calamitous consequences, which is a
common ailment of students, can be en
tirely cured l»y the use of Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets.

MEETS WITH
TRAGIC END
Liberty township m the vicinity
of Mooresburg Monday morning was
the scene of a shocking accident, in
which Daniel Bogart, a well-known
resident, met with a horrible death.
The accident occurred at the farm
of Clark Dyer, the well-known dairy
man, which is situated just west of
the Vincent farm, about a mile and a
half from Mooresburg. Daniel Bogart
and Mr. Dyer are brothers-in-law.
Yesterday morning the deceased,
who resides on the old Courson place
nearby went over to Mr. Dyer's to as
sist one of the hired men to cut feed
while the dairyman was serving his
customers in this city. The motive
power employed to operate the cutter
was an ordinary horse power of the
lever pattern, the same as used in
threshing.
Mr. Bogart was driving, standing
as is customary on the horse power
over the huge cog-wheel in the center,
where with whip in hand he could
easily reach the horses. The assistant
was inside the barn feeding the cut
ter.
About half past 8 o'clock all of a
sudden the machinery stopped The
man inside the barn on looking out to
discover the cause, was horrified a
the spectacle which presented itsol*'.
Apparently pinned fast in the machin
ery and lying over as if dead or insen
sible was the form of the driver. He
rushed to the siile of the injured man
and found that his right leg was sev
ered from his body at the hip. He
was already dead.
By some misstep Mr. Bogart's leg had
slipped down into the large horizontal
wheel, where it was caught in the
cogs. This much is evident, but be
yond it nothing can be determined.
The man died from the effects of the
terrible shock.
The deceased was -IT years of age.
He is survived by a wife but leaves
no children.
Easy for the Giauts.

Eight Honrs Unconscious.
The six-year-old son of Malcolm
West, Chambers street, sustained a bad
fall down stairs Saturday night from
the effects of which lie lay unconscious
for eight hours.
The little fellow was up stairs alone.
The members of the family who were
in another portion of the dwelling
were alarmed by the noise of the fall
and rushing to the spot found the boy
lying insensible at the foot of flu;
stairs. The only marks lie bore were
a couple of contusions, one on tin
forehead and the other on the nose. It
was thought that he was only tem
porarily stunned and would in a short
time come around all right. All was
done for him that circumstances per
mitted, but ail hour passed and he
showed no signs of improvement.
Dr. P. C. Newbaker responded to a
call about 10:30 o'clock and fouud that
the hoy was concussion
of the braiu. It proved to be a most
stubborn case. The little fellow lay
in a comatose state from 9 o'clock Sat
urday night until 5 o'clock yesterday
morning when lie began to rally. It
was a night of keen anxiety for the
parents.
The stairway was a winding one
and the 1103- received a good many
bumps in falling,landing on hi- head.
The patient was doing well yesterday
afternoon and the attending physician
said he would recover.

CELERY CULTURE.

Celery seed, like that of parsley,
carrot and parsnip, parts with its vi
tality very quickly and is practically
worthless when kept over until the
second year. For sowing seed during
the enrlv part of the season the plan
In st suited to the requirements «pf the
farmer or amateur grower of celery is
to secure a wooden flat or tray (see
the first cut i about sixteen or twenty
four inches deep, with plenty of small
holes in the bottom for drainage. Aft
er tilling with sifted soil stroke off
even with the top and either shake
down the soil or press it down by
means of a board before the seeds are
sown. Either sow in drills two inches
apart or scatter broadcast and cover
by sifting on n mere sprinkling of leaf
mold or sand by means of a fine sieve.
This tray can be placed in the win
dow of a moderately warm room in
the dwelling, and the soil should be
watered by sprinkling very lightly as

often as necessary to keep the surface
from showing dryness, but the soil
should not become waterlogged. The
seedlings will appear In from two to
three weeks, after which the tray
should bo turned round once each day
to prevent the plants "drawing" to
ward the light. If early plants are
needed on a somewhat larger scale,
sow the seeds in like manner in a hot
bed or on a greenhouse bench.
For later plants, from which the main
crop is to be planted, sow the seeds in
a cold frame or in the open ground.
Several methods are in vogue for start
ing celery plants in the open ground,
and the one selected should depend en
tirely upon the scale on which the
crop Is to be grown. One plan is to
sow the seed broadcast in a bed about
three feet wide and of any desired
length, from which the plants may be
transplanted to another similar bed,
and again to the open field, or they
may bo thinned and allowed to re
main in the seed bed until the time f«»r
setting in the open ground, where they
are to mature. Another method is to
sow in drills ten or twelve inches
apart.
The method now in use by most
large growers is to pi . pare a traet of
laud by pulverizing with rose tools and
then raking by hand, after which the
seed is sown broadcast by means of a
wheelbarrow grass seed drill. The soil
is sometimes pressed down with a
plank after the seeds are scattered, but
some growers maintain that there is a
decided advantage In leaving the soil
slightly uneven, as the seeds fall into
the shaded places and are protected
from the direct rays of the sun. The
seed will become sufficiently covered by
rains or watering. Should more than
20 per cent of the seed usually sown
geiminntr it will be necessary to thin
out to prevent overcrowding, with its
attendant injury. To prevent the sur
face of the soil becoming too dry it
may be necessary to partially shade
the young plants during the warm days
of early summer, but the shading
should never be so dense as to cause
them to become drawn.
Some species of grasshoppers often
prove destructive pests during the ear
ly part of the season where the celery
