The thor oughfare, which is some 20 feet iu width, lies midway between East Mar ket aud East Mahoniug streets aud connects Mill with Ferry street. Uu the south it is flanked by the row of rickety uupaiuted stables extending from the Reynolds buildiug to the Thomas Beaver Free Library. Ou the north side the alley is bordered with the Baldy House and the premises of Dr. F. E. Harpel. The location of the alley is such as to invite a great deal of travel , not only by vehicles, but also by pedest rians. To accommodate the latter Laudlord W. C. Williams has laid a pavement ou his side as far as the rear of his property. Dr. Harpel has also laid a sidewalk. The greater part of the alley, however, contains uo accommodation for pedestriaus aud much of the time walking is very bad. The alley occupies a part of the towu where laud has a maximum of value; it is wide enough for a street and were it thrown open so as to offer uo restriction to travel it would fill a long-felt want. Property owners whose laud abuts ou the alley have beeu thinking over these things for sometime. They advise that the old stables which Hue the soutli side of the alley be torn dowu and tenement houses or small manufacturing concerns be erect ed ou their sites. Anticipating some improvement similar to the above for some time past Dr. Harpel has had in contemplation the erection of two commodious dwellings on the rear of his large lot to front ou the alley. F. C. Derr has taken the initiative and lias begun a two-story frame 28x24 feet, which when completed will be occupied by O. S. Deibert,the upholst erer. The proposition is to lay side walks along each side of the thorough fare aud to give it a suitable name. Of these several have beeu suggested but the one which seems to find the most favor is the uame "Library Place." June Weather is Very 0001. This month of Juue has been most peculiar iu the way of weather. There were several very hot days, but the most of the month has beeu so cool as to astonish the weather observers of many years. Monday morniug the Moutour House thermometers register ed as low as 48 degrees at 5 o'clock, aud there was a slight frost in the low ground. Ou Sunday morning at 6 :30 o'clock tin; same thermometers register ed 56 degrees. Several heavy showers fell Mouday afteruoou aud oue was accompanied by hail. This cool weather has caused most plans for summer outings to be held in abeyance uutil the advent of real warm days. Many Miners on Freight Trains. There is a rush of miners from the anthracite regions to the bituminous fields aud every north bound freight traiu is filled with Hungarians, Poles, Italians and a few Americans who are seeking work. Their destination via the Reading is Newberry where they catch the Beech Creek route of the New York Central. The most of the travel is done by freight, but a few spend money for car fare aud ride on passeuger trains. Very few freights go through here that do not carry large numbers of men, from fifteeu to thirty being the usual quota to a train, although some have considerably more. The Pennsyl vania trains also carry many miners who are looking for jobs. Saved From an Awful Fate. "Everybody said I had consumption,' writes Mrs. A M. Shields, of Chambers burg, Pa.,"l was so low after six months of severe sickness, caused by Hay Fever and Asthma, that few thought I could get well, but I learned the merit of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, used it, aud was completely cured." For desperate Throat and Lung Diseases it is the safest cure in the world and is infallible for Cough, Colds and Bron chial Affections. Guaranteed bottles 50c and SI.OO.

The Harrisburg Evening Telegraph of Saturday issued a special edition, of forty pages, illustrative of the Greater Harrisburg. The edition is finely printed aud is filled with half tone cuts of the homes, industries and business places of the city. The Pennsylvania Steel Works,at Steelton, is shown iu all its departments. The edition will surely result iu further advancement of Harrisburg and in crease in the influence and circulation of the Telegraph. Death of John Girtner. John Girtner, Sr., of Schuyler, a well-known resident, died ou Sunday last. Ho is the father of John Girtner, undertaker at Turbotville. FIVE HOUSES BROKEN INTO Four houses on East Front street and oue on Railroad street were broken into by robbers early Friday morn ing. Nothing but eatables were taken and at several places the intruders were scared away. All tin; places were entered through the kitchen win dows by the removal of panes of glass. At the residence of Harry Pritchard, _ No. 506 East Front street, the screen to the summer kitchen was removed and laid under a tree. There is a table ou the porch against the window and all the dishes were removed from it being placed on the boardwalk. This gave the burglars access to the - window. Iu trying to open it the up per part of the sash was broken. A large shepherd dog heard the men at work and his barking caused them to - leave hastily. They got into the sum mer kitchen and the ouly thing miss ed by Mrs. Pritchard was a loaf of bread. She heard the dog barking aud says it was shortly after mid night. " It is evident that the burglars went next door, at the home of Miss Helen Colket, No. 508, where they got into the out-kitchen, but secured no booty. I A good haul was mi»de at No. 510, the residence of Mrs. Louisa Williams, where the cupboard was looted of all its contents, potatoes, butter, milk aud other victuals. The burglars got in at this place by breaking the glass aud slidiug back the kitchen window. Farther east ou Front street, at No. 522, the burglars coolly appropriated the breakfast, which had been gotten ready for the men who were togo to work early. The usual method of taking out a window pane was prac ticed aud the window was fastened up with two butcher knives. Everything i ou the table was taken. An effort was also made to get through another window into the inuer part of the house, but this was abandoned. It is thought that the burglars were fright ened away from here. Martin Swank lives in this house. From Swank's it. is but a short dis tance to the home of Robert Faugh, at No. 218 Railroad street. The kitch i en window was forced open and the window held up with a screw driver. This is what was used at the other places, but the burglars had no fur ther need for it as the Paugh home was the last on their list. Mr. Swank's bucket had been packed aud this was confiscated by the hungry visitors. The general opinion is that the bur glaries were committed by men from the mining legions. Quite a number have beeu in this city and some of them seemed to be in very reduced cir cumstances. It would be well for all house keepers to keep a close guard over their premises. Sunbury has had a number of burglaries recently and other towns make similar complaints of numerous robberies. Flower Gardens Despoiled. There is nothing more beautiful among the works of nature than flow ers. Naturally, therefore, the lover of flowers is a lover of the beautiful. How a person, therefore, of such re finement and devotion to what is beauti ful iu nature can enjoy a stolen article is beyond comprehension. Yet such persons exist—at least the flowers are stolen and as there is no evidence that they are sold by the thieves the inference must be that they are pur loined purely for the sake of the plea sure derived from their possession. Probably never were flower thieves so active as at present. There are few gardens iu the vicinity of Water aud Front streets that have entirely escap ed. One flower garden ou Water street famous for its profusion of beautiful roses was entered on three different occasions aud the bushes literally strip ped. No less thau half a dozen gard ens have been pillaged in that vicinity i during the last few nights. Not con tent with the roses at several places the marauders have ruthlessly broken down the bushes, indicating that they were actuated as much by a spirit of maliciousness as by a desire to possess the flower. Woodcock Will Not be Plentiful. This is a season when the regular meetings of the Danville Gun and Rifle Club are slimly attended. Never theless the members are practicing as much as possible to keep their hands iu. On July Ist the woodcock season opens, after which shooting will not be a matter of practice but a pursuit of the real thing. With each succeed ing year as a result of the semi-month ly shoots, the members of the Gun and Rifle Club gain in proficiency as marksmen, which invests their hunt ing expeditious with additional inter est. The severe winter was hard on game aud itjs said that woodcock this summer are not very plentiful. A Dangerous Practioe. There has beeu a number of narrow escapes at the Mill street crossing of the D. L. & W. railroad recently ow ing to the recklessness of drivers go ing under the gates when they are be ing lowered. If this dangerous practice is not stopped fatalities are likely to result. BEYOND A DOUBT. Good Hard Facts. Told in a IYw Words as Possible. Thomas Kear of No. 682 Mill street, Danville, Pa., says 'Dr. A. W Chase's Nerve Pills are certainly what they art represented to be.

GOOD STOCK OF COAL Before the mining strike a Peiinsvj vaniau would have considered absurd a statement that there would be a time i when the sight of car loads of coal would cause comments of surprise, ; yet this strange state of affairs exists. To the people of Dauville the long trains of coal became so familiar that it did not seem within the bounds of i possibility there could be a cessation in the shipment of this commodity, i so powerful in the industrial and com mercial world. Ou Saturday a Philadelphia & Read ing freight train, north-hound,carried eight cars filled with anthracite from the Berenice mines,in Sullivan county, and all who saw them wondered where they came from. The railroads have considerable coal on hand, but are very sparing with it. The Reading has ill its different stor age yards about 200,000 tons. A small quantity at Buffalo is being shipped to hike ports. Last year the Reading company us ed about 1,000,000 tons of coal, of which nearly 50S»,000 were bituminous. The coal averaged Hie company about $1.50 a ton. In nearly all cases anthra cite coal was used as fuel on the pas senger engines, hut many freight locomotives used bituminous Since the strike fewer freight trains have been run and the coal freight service has almost been suspended, although many crews are now engaged iu the hauling of soft coal. The Pennsylvania railroad uses very little anthracite in comparison with the amount of bituminous coal con sumed as fuel. This company consumes nearly 17,000 tons of eoul a day, most of which is bituminous. On some of the fast express trains and trains to local points anthracite is generally used while on the freight trains bitum inous is the fuel. This company has not suffered by the strike in the an thracite region, as its increased traffic in soft coal greatly offsets the loss of anthracite. The movement of bitum inous coal has beeu very heavy,and as there is no need of the cars in the reg ion the soft coal operators have been securing all they want. Watchman Uses His Gun. Dr. DeWitt and those in charge of his park at night are considerably an noyed by persons prowling around the resort evidently with no good inteu tious. On Friday night William Rausch, who acts as engineer for the merry-go-round aud also watchman,in order to expel au intruder was obliged to bring his shot gun into requisition. The fellow was very defiant; he had no idea that the watchma.i would shoot, but tin* latter affirms that he "blazed away'' and thinks that a few of the shot took effect. On the next night the watchman had more trouble, but on this occasion the intruder drew the gun. The latter was accompanied by a woman. They refused to leave the park and some hot words ensued when the man pulled out a pistol and leveled it at the watchman. The woman quickly grasp ed the gun, however, aud thus it may be that a tragedy was averted. One of the features of the manage ment at Riverside Park is the good order that is uniformly maintain ed. Upon opening his resort some years ago Dr. DeWitt adopted a set of rules, which lie put before the public in such a way as to indicate his deter mination to see that they are enforced and as a result no matter how great a throng of pleasure seekers are on the ground at one time things have never been otherwise than <|uiet and orderly during the day. Watchman Rausch, together with J. B. Woodling.the pro prietor of the merry-go round, who sleeps at the park,declare their inten tion of controlling the situation and of keeping things orderly about the park at night. Much Malaria. Local physicians report a great deal of malaria this spring, which threat ens before the summer is over to in augurate a return of the old fever and ague days. It is not only in town where the disease prevails, hut also amid the farming communities up and down the river. A leading physician Friday gave it as his opinion that the prevalence of malaria, which at present exceeds anything in recent years, is caused by the unusually high floods of last wint er, which submerged wide tracts of land. Decaying vegetable matter and noxious substances in different forms, it is explained, were then deposited in the streets and fields. After the water receded and the long drought ensued under the action of the sun the tracts affected gave off poisonous exhala tions, which produce in humanity the morbid condition known as malaria. Entertained Young People. Mr. and Mrs. George Snvder enter tained a number of young people at their home,on Upper Mulberry street, Saturday iu honor of their son Har mon's birthday. Those present were: Mabel Perry, Helen Goodall, Bessie Shepard, Agnes Kcsslcr, Blanche Dielil, Mabel Ford, Ethel Udclhofen, Araminta Snyder, Gertrude Snyder, Relia Snyder, James Edgeworth, Carl Scott, William Edgeworth, William Reedy,Grier Udclhofen. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Diehl, and Aaron Williams. Refreshments were served and an en joyable afternoon was spent.

EVERY TIME THE CLOCK STRIKf S "Talk of the difference in business trips," remarked a well-known busi ness man last week. "Why, you youngsters have it line now when you goto New York. When I commenced business I looked forward to the journey for some time, hating to stav away over night, which was a necessity in those days, and probably staid up half the night, so as to lie sure and catch the train, leaving home way ahead of time for fear of having the wrong time table. "Nowadays, I make up my mind to goto New York, and, looking at my watch to see how much time I have to reach the Reading Terminal, know ing that the Philadelphia & Reading's fast trains leave there every tune the clock strikes, from 7 in the morning until 7 at night,start off at once,reach New York in a couple of hours attend ing to business, strike the Jersey Cen tral Station, Liberty Sr., on the hour, anil starting home again, reach Phila delphia, having used up six hours time or in reality only five, a> instead of spending an hour at lunch, 1 got mine in the Buffet Parlor Car while making fast time between the two citict*. "1 tell you what, the Philadelphia & Reading Railway seeing determined to secure all the business travel be tween the two places. They reduced the time,put Buffet Parlor Cars on all trains running at hours when they were needed, hesitate at hardly any thing that tends to insure the safety, comfort and pleasure of their passeng ers, and now comes their new depar ture,a train from each Terminal every time the clock strikes in business hours, scheduled on quick time, and the best part of all, keeping up to schedule." The English "Society for the Preven tion of Consumption" presided over by the Prince of Wales, was recently ad dressed by Sir William Broad bent, who stated that it was definitely known that every case of consmnption began with a germ communicated from some other case. There i- no such thing as inherit ed consumption. There may be local weakness which tends to consumption, but the germ has absolutely to be plant ed iu that weak spot before consump tion can ensue. This ought to comfort thousands of people who have "weak chests" or "weak lungs " They are not foreordained victims oft his dread dis ease. AH that is needed to bid absolute defiance to this deadly scourge, is to be able to strengthen the weak lungs, and build up a strong body. The answer to this need is found in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It so purifies the blood and increases the blood supply, that disease is thrown off. and the weak organs are nourished into perfect health, which defies germs of every kind. People, given tip by doctors, emaciated, bleeding at the lungs, with obstinate, lingering coughs, are being cured every day by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery." It is a strictly temperance medicine containing no alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant. Meeting of the Alliance. The meeting of the Prohibition Alliance held in St. Peter's M. E. church at Riverside Monday night was well attended. Addresses were made by Rev. H. O. llarman, Rev. E. B. Dunn, Rev. L. B. Twichell, Rev. Kline and F, P. Johnson. The speakers were all members of the Prohibition Alliance of this city, which meets every Thursday night in the Y. M. C. A. building. The object of the meeting was to organize ail Al liance in Riverside, which in view of the encouragement attending last night's meeting, it is believed will be an accomplished fact in the near future. Virulent Cancer Cure. Startling proof of a wonderful ad vance in medicine is given by druggist G. W. Roberts of Elizabeth, W. Va.

(Cu/ fairs''' FASHIONABLE WOODS. How Ilird*eje Maple, Curly Walnut and quartered Oak Are Cut. It is not commonly known that cer tain terms applied by furniture men and workers in fine wood refer almost entirely to the graining shown by rueth ods of cutting oak, maple, walnut, etc., and the question frequently arises, What Is curly walnut or blrdseye ma ple? For clearer explanation the fol lowing Is presented by Median's Month ly: The birdseye figure In maple is pro duced by cutting around the log and BIRDSEYE MAPLE AND yl AIiTEREO OAK. continuing until the log is used up. A huge knife, and not a saw, is used for the purpose, the wood being peeled off like it great shaving; hence birdseye veneers yards In length are made. Few species produce this ligure. That ob tained from the sugar maple is the fin est in our country. Curly walnut Is the root and that portion of the trunk just above the ground. The log Is sawed ill the or dinary way. Curly walnut is obtained from all the species. Quartered oak Is produced by sawing the log into quarters; hence the name. These quarters are then sawed Into boards from the circumference toward the center, and thus the "Hake," that beautiful figure In quartered oak, Is brought out. HOW TO GROW BEANS. Win uiul String;!***** Pod Yari —Umax. IIUMII MII« 1 Pole. Tin* wax ami stringless green pod varieties fur best results should l»e drilled or dropped four to six inches in the row. iliey art very tender and should not be planted until all reason able danger from frost is passed, but after that they may lie planted at in tervals of two weeks or a little more for succession, advises a Rural New Yorker writer. As soon as the plants are well out of the ground apply the nitrate of soda, same as for early cab bages. It should be applied every few days, especially if there are any traces of rust. The same treatment as to nitrate of soda (or saltpeter, if more convenient) should be followed with the lima beans. These, both bush and pole varieties, es pecially in the north, should be start ed in pans or boxes of soil either in the hotbed or sunny windows. They may be started two or three weeks earlier than they could with safety be planted In the open ground. Plant one Inch deep, making sure that the eye is down, one in a place, and far enough apart that they may readily be taken up without disturbing the roots. In taking up be sure that the soil is sufficiently moist to adhere well to them. It is best to take plenty of soil with the plants and set in holes previ ously dug. With care in handling the plants may be reset with entire safety and the season of maturity very much hastened. The bush llmas should be set two feet apart in the rows, as with good soil and culture they will spread a good deal. If the pole varieties are to be trained to a single pole, they should be set pre vious to transplanting the beans. Set three or four plants around each pole on a slightly raised mound of earth. Poles seven feet above the ground are sufficiently high, and when the vines teach the top they should be tied there and pinched back. The trellis is very desirable, but I have very little faith in corn or sun flowers planted into take the place of poles or trellis. When poles are used, the vines must be trained and tied oc casionally to the poles, and the most convenient way is to wind the string or cord used for tying around the left wrist. This allows free use of both hands for the work and saves much trouble by avoiding tangling the cord. The World'* Corn Crop. According to the government report, the corn crop of the world in 1900, the latest year for which final quantitative estimates are available, amounted to 2,822,900,000 bushels against 2,718,200,- 000 bushels in the year preceding and 2,<552,087,000 bushels in 1808. These figures, of course, w ill not bear a too literal construction, but cover the (world's crop for which statistics at nil trustworthy are extant. SO SOOTHING.

S, Remember the name-Doan 's- and take no substitute MACARONI WHEATS. Principal \nriell<H mill Kcuinnn to Which They \re Ada pled. All macaroni wheats are extremely sensitive to changes of soil and cli ; mate. This will account for certain peculiarities in the quality of the grain that have already been noticed by growers occasionally in this country. Grains partially soft and white are from crops grown either under damp , er, cooler conditions or in places where 1 there is comparatively little nitrogen I in the soil. The requisite conditions for a perfect grain are a black prairie soil ; and short, hot, dry summers. On the whole changes of climate appear to j : have a greater effect than changes of ! soil, but if the soil becomes almost be l reft of humus the grain shows the ef- j feet plainly by becoming more opaque 1 j and white because of the preponder- j a nee of starch. If in this case the cli- j mate is at the same time arid, the j grain remains rather hard, but simply ! because of its dryness. If the soil is • black and rich and the climate too ! moist, there is considerable discolora- . tion, and black ends may show them selves. Two or three good rains are sufficient to mature a crop. Otherwise the drier and hotter the better, while a humid atmosphere can not be tolerated. From fifty to seventy-five so called ; ! varieties of durum or macaroni wheats , have been described by different writ j ers. There are probably a hundred or more varieties already known to be in I use under distinct names. Though the larger number of varieties are in prac- I tical use of minor importance, there I are a few having well marked charac teristics and which have attained a high reputation. The variety which Is the basis of a ; very large part of the macaroni wheat J export from the Azov sea region Is the j Gharnovka. The wheat itself lias a | medium long, square, dense, yellowish | white head, while the beards are dark j and very long. The grain is quite large, light yellow in color and rather trans lucent and vitreous. There are several different strains even of the Gharnov ka recognized in the Don territory. Probably the best of these Is the Yel low Gharnovka, which has a grain of a deeper yellow than the others. Both I the Gharnovka and Yellow Gharnovka ! have recently been obtained and distrib uted by the department of agriculture, according to Cerealist M. A. Carleton, from whose report on macaroni wheats i these facts are learned. This wheat Is ! admirably adapted to such districts as j Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and east ern Colorado. It will probably prove to be one of the best durum wheats for the middle and southern great plains OHARNOVKA WHEAT AT NEW MEXICO STA TION. as well as for New Mexico and Arizo- ; na. Gharnovka is being grown this j season by the New Mexico agricultural i experiment station and so far gives j j promise of excellent results. Arnoutka wheat Is apparently not 1 grown to so great an extent as Ghar- ! : novka, but It is nevertheless one of the j j best varieties of south Russia. So far ! 1 as the writer mentioned can determine I what is properly called Arnautku is a I wheat having heads of a light red col or, with a bluish bloom and very long i reddish beards. The grains are very I large and long and when grown under j favorable conditions are a clear yellow, j extremely hard and vitreous. This and | Gharnovka are the two varieties which i have given Russia its reputation for i macaroni wheats, although one or two I Russian sorts are probably even better j than these for marketing that product. Mr. Carleton lias so far seen nothing but the grain of the variety now grown considerably by the farmers of North and South Dakota under the name Ar uautka and cannot say whether it is the same as that described above or not. This variety is well adapted for cultivation in Kansas, Colorado, Okla bom a and Texas. Maple Sutrnr and Sirup. Geauga county produces more mapla sirup per square mile than any county in Ohio. Vermont also has a large out put. Vermont suffers from vast quan tities of bogus sirup manufactured In cities and flavored with cheap maple sugar and sold all over the west and labeled "Pure Vermont Maple Sirup." So called "Pure Ohio Maple" is on sale over the west and east and indeed In cities In Ohio.—Ohio Farmer. Agricultural \ntc«, Hlackeye and Whippoorwill cowpeas were tested at the Cornell station. There seems little to choose between them. Hlackeye appears not quite as vigorous a grower as Whippoorwill. Rolling clover seeded ground may prove an excellent aid to prompt ger mination. Persian officials say they need agri cultural implements of the American kind. Exports of apples from the United States during 1001 amounted to 500,000 barrels, valued at $1,701,394, against 740,575 barrels in the preceding year, valued a $1,821,502.

"It does not follow," said the buyer for one of the sections of one of Wash ington's big department stores, "that goods which are known to the public and to the trade, and especially to lady shoppers, as 'seconds' are damaged goods. "Goods of all classes are known to the trade under three great subdivi sions the absolutely perfect, the seconds and the short ends—and their Importance and value are regulated ac cordingly. "The manufacturers of goods of all descriptions, from a locomotive to a spool of thread, do not try to dispose of their products as perfect unless they really are such, however light the con sciences of some retail dealers may lie on this point. Woolens aml cottons at the mills and all goods sold by the yard and down to bicycle tires are carefully inspected for Haws and de fects of the minutest description. Such as are not up to the standard of merit placed thereon by the house turning them out are laid aside by the experts and classed as seconds. These are dis posed of to the trade under this name and at a greatly reduced price as com pared with the perfectly made article. "For instance, let us take the case of men's collars, and especially the high turnover collat. After being laundered they are examined for defects, the most prominent of which is a slight break in the linen on top in front where they button. It may be scarcely per ceptible, hut it is enough to cause it to be thrown aside, and the name of the maker is not stamped thereon, as would • be the case if It were perfect. Very ! often one of the buttonholes is slightly ! torn or there is a little scratch in the linen on the outer side. Some firms sell thousands of dozens of these collars a year at a very low price, while some of the defects are not perceptible tot lie I eye of the purchaser, who buys the goods at retail at less than half the cost of the perfect article. The same is true with bicycle tires, the makers cutting their names off the rubber. Dealers are careful not to have their names goon seconds, as the public would judge their perfect articles by the imperfect, relying upon the name of the manufacturer to buy a perfect article. "In weaving yarn goods a broken thread or a loose pin or n few drops of oil from the loom will make half a dozen or more yards imperfect, yet salable as short ends. These are cut off from the bolt and sold cheap to dealers who make a specialty of han dling such goods. Some mills will have at the end of the season thousands of these short ends. The retail buyers and Jobbers secure them at low prices, the public very often supposing that they are getting 'bargains' in the per fect goods at less than known market rates. Usually they receive full value for their money. "The loss to the manufacturers and the mills from seconds and short ends makes a big hole in the profits at the end of the season, and this loss is taken into consideration in the whole pale price asked for the perfect goods. In some mills they have a system of making the operatives pay for any dif ference in the damaged goods where the loss may be traced to their per sonal fault and not that of the ma chine. This system makes the opera tives very careful, as it materially af fects their wages. If a manufacturer attempted to put on the market sec onds for perfect goods, the retail deal ers would not buy from him, and the public would likewise withdraw its patronage."—Washington Star. Detected by n MlnMpelt Word. In a case of political importance, the whole case of which hinged upon the question of the genuineness of certain letters, the most important witness was, while under examination, suddenly taken by surprise by being called upon to write down a particular word which occurred in the letters. The slip of paper was handed back with the word misspelt in an identically similar fash ion to that in which it appeared in the correspondence, and the clever forger was soon after detected in the witness himself.
