The manner in which all the pupils acquitted them selves in their parts was a delight to the friends and patrons, who were present in a large number. The smoothness of execution, the expres sion and time with which the selec tions were given reflect much credit on both teachers and pupils. The music hall was tastefully deco rated with palms and flowers, and presented a very pretty appearance. The class will have a vacation of sev eral weeks before the beginning of the new term. The program of the music ale was as follows: Duet, "Merry Skater," Zitterbart, Mary Finegan, Mary Rogers; "Papa's Waltz,"Streabbog,Edna Moyer; "Star of the Sea," Kennedy, Margaret Cole; "Ripples of the Alabama," Katharine Mu 1 len ' Grandma's Congratulations" Clara Fischer, song, "What Would You Take for Me, Pa," Westbrook, Gertrude Cairns; "Bicycle Waltz," Geible, Carrie Hoffman; "Orvetta Waltz," Spencer, Mary Curry ; "The Whispering Zephyr," Heins, Harry Fish; "Robin's Return," Fisher, Alice Peyton ;duet," Villager's Waltz" Kohler, Edward Shevlin and Marion Leister; song, "Hello Central," Clauder, Dorothy Tooley; instrument al selection, Edward Warga; "Chapel in the Mountain," Wilson, Katherine Mullen ; song, "Holy City," Adams, Mary Hooley and Mary Curry; Fifth Nocturne, Ley bach, Mary Rogers; mandolin trio, Carpenter, Gertrude Cairns, Margaret Hooley and Edward Shevlin; instrumental selection, Mabel Ammerman.

May Locate iu Danville Samuel Mettler, the old man who drove all the way from Western Ohio to this city, a distance of nearly 700 miles,an account of whose experiences was printed in these columns July Ist, was seen in this city again it few days ago. It will he recalled that he came East to visit his relatives and that upon his arriyal here there were none among the several families that bear his name who seemed to be of his kin ; he was much disheartened and thought that he would have to return home with out accomplishing the object of his long and toilsome journey. He stated, Thursday, that he found several per sons who are relatives, among them Mrs. Enoch Cook of this city, a first cousin. The time since his arrival has been spent mostly in Kusli town ship, Sunhnry and Catawissa. Altogether, he says, the trip, which at lirst promised so badly, has turned out well enough. He is delighted with Danville, which he regards as one of the liest towns of this section. While his horse drank at the public fountain he made some further inquir ies about the town and stated that it would not require much coaxing to in duce him to remain here. He has not as yet laid any plans for his return home. A Demand for Skilled Workmen. In contrast to the depression of busi ness in the anthracite coal regions, due to the stike, is the activity of the manufacturing towns. Danville not only shares in this progress and pros perity, but is considered one of the best towns in the state. There is no idleness hero and no reason why a man cannot get work. This city has never been more prosperous nor never more progressive. The name of Dan ville is synonymous with industrial advancement. There is a demand for skilled workmen that exceeds the local supply. This is evidenced by the fact that the firm of James Mallen & Com pany, operating the Danville rolling mill, is advertising in other towns for puddlers and helpers. Every industry has plenty of work ahead to insure a continuance of these giatifyiug conditions for many months This all means more than is apparent from the mere statement of busy mills and humming factories. It means an increase in building operations, a de velopment of the town and additions to the population by bringing in more people. It also means a growth of busi ness all of which tends to make better and stronger this thriving city of the North Branch. This is the time for vacations but Danville people often return from their outiugs firm in their conviction that after all there is not a better place than Danville for living, work ing and recreation. BALANCE LEFT FROM CELEBRATION Secretary W. A. Sechler, of the citi zens' committee,has submitted a report on the receipts and expenditures of tin- Fourth of July celebration. The total amount received was #715.01, of which $577.ti1) was subscribed by citizens and $1:57.11 was the balance from the de monstration of 18t)!i. As there is a balance of $lO3 ill the bands of Treasurer M. H. Schram it will he seen that the committee did its work well and that there is but a slight difference in this balance and the one of three years ago. This is an excellent _record for the committee, and also shows that the citizens of Danville responded liberally to assure the success of the celebration.

The law-abiding character of our population and the limited amount of work for the police court, which may in a measure pass unnoticed by our own citizens is one of the first things which impresses strangers sojourning in our city. This is all the more noticed because our town is prosper ous, all classes being employed and well paid. There are few who can not afford to indulge in luxury of some sort. If our people were inclined toward intemperance with all that is implied by that excess in the way ol crime and disorder conditions at pres ent are certainly favorable for bring ing out the fact. Nevertheless arrests for any thing more than one of the minor offenses are few and far between. The unlucky offender who happens to get into jail is fortunate if he finds a single com panion there to aid in beguiling the weary hours. Saturday nights, a time when noise and riot are apt to be uppermost, in our town are nearly as quiet and com mon place as any other night in the week. Saturday night last was a case in point. Few men in the least degree intoxicated were in evidence any where; there was no semblance of dis order and long before midnight our streets were practically deserted. Very nearly the same might be said of flu- Saturday night previous, which was pay day. In passing, a word of praize is due to those who conduct licensed houses. It is said of them that they are careful to observe the law and thus contribute to the general good order of the town. It would be difficult to find any one who would charge a single bar with remaining open after the hour of 12 o'clock on Saturday night. Boy Drowned at Rupert. Morris Gross of Blooinsburg, aged twelve years, was drowned in the riv er at Rupert Monday atteruoon. In company with several other boys he went from Blooinsburg for the pur pose of going in bathing. The place they chose was at the month of Fish ing Creek. As both the creek and riv er are high there was considerable curieiit which took the hoys out furth er than was safe. Gross became exhausted and the boys nearest him went to bis aid. He pull ed one boy down three times, and then the little fellow managed to re lease himself and had to swim away to save his own life. Charles Coira, also twelve years old, was in mid stream when lie, too, became exhaust ed. By hard struggling he got to the sliorc, but was so worn out that he fell down and it took some time to re vive him. The body of Gross had not been recovered last night. DOUBT CANNOT EXIST, Investigation will only Strengthen the Proof we give in Danville. There must be something stronger than imagination behind expressions of snch represented citizens of Blooinsburg as Mr. Geo. Mifflin, a gentleman well known not only in Blooinsburg but. in the surrounding country. Any one is at lilwrty to question him alxnit the subject he discusses, when minute particulars can be obtained. He says Mr. Geo Mifflin, Dentist, of Main street, Blooinsburg, says I procured Doan's Kidney Pills from Moyer Bros.

For thirty - live years it stood iu front of Woods' shoe store,on Mill street,ami was con sidered a fixture. li was staunchly bolted to a stout square post and in its early days was an innovation that attracted much comment. But it has gone thr way of all things old, yet there is a bit ot pathos in its removal. The old residents who come back for a sight of their native bills and a re newal of old friendships will look for it in vain. Thirty-five years is a long time. Many thousands have passed under the old boot. The mill man hurrying to bis work, the shopper and the market throng, the business man, the hopeful youth with hurrying steps, the aged, the happy and the sad, all have walk ed beneath the awning of the boot. The Woods shoe store is one of the oldest in the state and has stood for sixty-two years on the same site,being established in 1810 by Thomas Woods, who was succeeded at his death by his son, Charles, the present proprietor. The improvement of the property necessitated the taking down of the boot and its square-post, the latter be ing replaced by a modern post, of steel. The awning will be raised and the en tire building will be re-painted. New window frames are being putin with hoods attached. When all the work is completed the building will look quite fine. Music and Drawing in the Schools. The school board has not abandoned the idea of introducing music and drawing into the public schools dur ing tlie coming term, although 110 in structors were chosen for these branches when the teachers were elect ed. The board is fully impressed with the value of both subjects and desires to keep abreast with the times by ad ding them to our curriculum as soon as possible. The matter was brought up at the last meeting of the school board, but nothing was done. It was decided to postpone action a little while longer until it can be definitely determined just what state the districts finances will be iu for the ensuing year. The secretary stated that he lias several applications for the position of music teacher iu the public schools. When the matter was introduced some months ago, drawing was advocated as pro- bably the most essential oi tin' two brunches in developing u child's in tellect and ilie plea was then made that it' one of the branches be selected to the exclusion of the other it be drawing. It lias been discovered, however, that the public would he greatly averse to leaving out music. As the matter stands now music is probably us much iu favor with the board as drawing. If would not be at all surprising if both branches were introduced into the bor ough schools during the coining term. To pnt the break on the wagon g"ing down a hill is a help to the horses.when the wagon is heavily loaded. Ihit what driver would think of applying the break to a loaded wagon going up hill? If he did, the sensible horses won Id probably balk. Many a man is iu the condition of pulling a load up hill with the break set, against him. When his stomach is ont of order, and the allied organs of digestion and nutrition unpair ed in their functions, a friction is set up which has to be overcame in addi tion to the performance of daily duties. A foul stomach makes a foggy brain, and the man with a disordered stomach has often to grope his way through the ■day's business like a man iu a fog. He forgets appointments. Problems seem present to his mind "wrong end to." This condition is entirely remedied by the use of I)r. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

The game ol" base ball Monday afternoon at DeWitt's Park between the St. Elmo and V. M. O. A. teams was a good one and the score was very close. The St. Elmo dull won by a run, the figures being to ft. The finish was interesting because the V. M. (J. A. boys made two runs in the eight, bringing their total to five and giving a slight hope of ticing or even winning in the final inning. Poth sides had two pitchers, and the teams batted in this order: St. Elmo—M. Kiley, pitcher, third base; Shephard, catcher, left field ; McCloud, third base, pitcher; F.

SII INNINGS AT WATSONTOWN The "Ohl Timers" have had the misfortune to lose several games hy just one run and this same fate befell them on Saturday afternoon at Watson town. Only six innings were played and the score stood 5 tot in favor of Watsontown. From what is saiil hv the Danville people, not only those who participated in the game, hut al so hy those who witnessed it, there is no doubt that the umpire gave Watson town the host of the decisions and that the "Old Timers" lost several runs hy his partiality. There was hut one hall sent in the outfield, being hit hy Ammerinan to Donovan, who failed to get it. The game hegan at 2.30 o'clock, hut Bell had liis right leg injured hy a collision with Sheep at the home plate, where hoth were after the hall to imt •* man out. This accident delayed tin; game a half hour and it was called at the end of the sixth inning so that the Danville contingent could catch a train for home.

With such facilities as are found here the coal can be tak en from the river only at the lowest stage of the water. The river has been too high for the work during nearly the whole of July. No one is more anxious about the matter than Frank Hoss, who has built a large boat at considerable expense, which will hold a ton of coal. The river, which was up to the ten foot mark last week, began falling Satur day. Yesterday it began to rise again and altogether the prospects are not fair for low water very soon. It would he too had if the water should remain high until winter,mak ing it impossible to take coal from the river at a time when it is so much needed to supply the general defici ency. Surprised on Birthday. James McCracken, who resides in Valley township, was surprised at his home Friday, on his birthday. lie was the recipient ot many presents, and the guests spent a merry day.

These tickets will be sold at one fare for the round trip, plus £I.<M). They will be good for continuous passage only, com mencing on day of sale, and must be used for return leaving New York not later than August Isd. Game Won by Monarchy The Monarchs and puddlers of Howe & Samuels' mill played a game at De- Witt's I'ark Saturday afternoon, the Monarchs winning by a score of 10 to K. The features were the playing of Evans, shortstop and Morgan, third baseman of the Monarchs; Beck, left fielder, and Delaney, pitcher, for the puddlers. The whole game was well played by both sides. Goal Dredging is Growing. The (hedging of coal in the river is growing,owing to the length of the anthracite strike. A Sunhnry man is having an additional dredger built. This will give him a capacity of seventy tons of coal daily from the riv er. The most of his product is shipped to Catawissa and Berwick. A num ber of persons in this city and South Danville are doing river dredging on a small scale and are laying in a winter supply of coal. Don't Fail to Try This.

Committees appointed to solicit subscriptions are working in the borough as follows: First Ward—Dr. I'. C. Newbaker.K. W. Eggert and Sain. A. McCoy. Second Ward—Samuel Mills and Ross Harner. Third and Fourth Wards—James Foster, IS. R. Gearhart, .1. C. Miller and W. L McClnre. But very little soliciting has as yet been done in the First and Second Wards. These two wards constitute a field from which big results are ex pected anil by the time they are cover ed the subscriptions will no doubt ag gregate a handsome figure insuring the success of the undertaking. Considerable help is anticipated from the rural communities which are in no degree deficient in public spirit and patriotism, as was attested by j the large number of young men who enlisted from the farms during the Civil War. Just what method will lie employed to reach the country peo ple has not yet been decided upon. In each community there are not a few with the soldiers' monument very near at heart who will probably come for ward with some plan to assist the pro ject. The work is one that devolves upon no single community but upon •the whole county and nothing would encourage those more who are engaged in the initial effort in town than to receive some early assurance of assist ance from the country. Some Surprises for the Farmer. The) severe drought of last spring and the deluge of rain which followed has treated the farmer to a few sur prises and nearly revolutionized the ordi r of farm work. The hay crop in June was pronounc ed a failure. Clover there was none and timothy,even after the rain set in, it was thought might be half a crop. As a matter of fact little or no hay was made. Thus far during July the farmer has had his hands full in try ing to get his wheat away,in cultivat ing his corn, etc. The time for hay making is past, but the grass is still growing vigorously; clover even is springing up among the timothy and altogether the prospects are fair for a good hay crop. Farmers generally have never known what it is to have haymaking and oats harvest on their hands at the same time, hut that will be the order of things this year. All that is needed, however, is a let up in the rains and the year's proceeds on the farm will average up all right after all. A Practical Missionary. Ella Frances Masten of Binghamton, N. Y., granddaughter of Mrs. Fanny Ileddens of Washingtonville, has won distinction as a practical missionary. From a very early age she has devoted her efforts in a humble way to reliev ing those in want. When only six years old, she recited in the Opera House of Binghamton at a charity benefit.. It was when she was nine years old that her efforts, perhaps, were the most remarkable. A family had been left destitute by tin death ol the husband and father, who bad been ill for a long time. The little girl expressed a wish to aid in clothing the fatherless children and asked her parents to piocure for her something which she could sell for their benefit. The little missionary was supplied with a stock of dainty little articles, which for two weeks she peddled from house to house until enough funds were secured to buy shoes, rubbers, stockings and under wear for the children of the needy family. Every hour after school and the whole of two Saturdays were given to this benevolent work. She did not ask a cent of contributions, but mod estly offered her wares and told her little story of the suffering family. 1 jittle Miss Masten was made the sub ject of several newspaper sketches. Eist Danville Surprise Party. A surprise party was given Mrs. Hannah Koto at her home in East Danville Saturday evening.

FeeiltnK llrnn. I have always fed bran with satisfac tory results, says a correspondent of Rural New Yorker. With me stock al ways thrives when it Is fed in conjunc tion with grain. I had a young mnro that got out of condition during sum mer, and I tried to fatten her on corn. I gave ten ears three times a day. She did not do well at all. I cut the corn down to six ears, with a quart of bran, three times a day, and I saw improve ment nt once. I drove her to buggy right along, and in three months she was fat and in splendid condition. I am careful never to use stale feed. That Is what does the mischief. Y'oung stock do better on a mixed feeding in which bran plays a one-third part. I have known a great many extravagant feeders who are careless about water ing stock. To Head Off I'liiil anil Moutli Dlifin?. At the session of the Prussian diet held March 7 it was officially announc ed that a sure means had been discov ered whereby cattle and sheep may be rendered immune from foot and mouth disease. It was further stated that preparations were being made so that German stockmen would soon be offer ed the opportunity to take advantage j of the discovery, which means that the virus ax'ill shortly be on hand in suffi cient quantity for general distribution. Professor Loefller lias conducted the experiments to the successful end re ported. Higher Prices Fop Cattle. It is predicted by some that top cattle ' will bring $S per hundred before the Ist of July. If so, it will be gratifying to the producer and feeder, but possi bly not so encouraging to the consumer, who will be compelled to pay Ills butch er a little more for his steaks. HIjyBANPRY ffibj It is claimed that the popularity of the Shropshire and Hampshire sheep in England is endangered by the rapid advance recently made by the Suffolk breed, the distinguishing merit of which is quality. That the Suffolk breed is making prodigious advances toward the front is borne testimony to not only by the Smithlield Champion Plate for the best short wooled sheep having been won two years in succession by one of this breed, together with the Centenary Challenge Cup of 1891), whereby all other breeds were beaten, but by the very extensive demand which has sprung up In Scotland and the north of England for Suffolk ram lambs to cross ewes of other breeds with for grazing purposes. At the re cent auctions a Suffolk ram lamb real ized 145 guineas. Suffolk ewes sold as high as 14 guineas per head, and an av erage of il 4s. 7d. was obtained for a breeder's outcome of no fewer than 120 ewes sold at auction.—Wool Markets and Sheep. Itiitimi Fur Lnmbn. The Massachusetts state station hae proved that linseed meal, cottonseed meal and Chicago gluten meal can be substituted one for the other in feeding lambs without very materially chang ing the cost of the ration or its feeding value, says B. Smith of the depart ment of agriculture. Buffalo gluten feed and Chicago maize feed were also interchangeable. The dry matter con tained in four pounds of corn silage can be reckoned for feeding purposes as about equivalent to that contained In one pound of rowen. Lambs fed a ration having a nutrient ratio of 1 to 4.7 produced a greater gain in live weight and a much better quality of manure than when the nutrient ratio was 1 to 7. In I>'avi>r of Sheep. it is sometimes asserted that cattle and sheep require the same amount of feed per 1,000 pounds of live weight. This statement seems not to be well founded, says Professor 0. F. Curtiss. In some experiments at the lowa sta tion the cattle consumed 10.0 pounds of dry matter per 1,000 pounds of live weight against an average of 20.7 by the sheep. Both cattle and sheep were on full feed. The sheep made a daily gain of 3.73 pounds per l.OOt) pounds of live weight and the cattle 2.14. In summing up this comparison Ave find that while the sheep ate 48 per cent more than the cattle they gained nearly 75 per cent more. .Not S':l» of His Trulls.

Any Wom an Cun follow. It has been said tliat the good coffee brewer is born, not made. While this is true to a great extent, any one mny learn to make a delicious cup of coffee after reading the foil .wing directions: In the first place, purchase a small cof fee grinder and grind your coffee. In this way you will be sure of getting ! the true aroma. Next make your coffee in a pot of granite ware instead of tin and be sure to place the empty pot on the back of the stove in order I J that it may I / ffi have a thorough v '-'iff heating before \ ''Jv< th e eofl' c<• \ / Pfk'bf grounds are , v 1> lace din it. if / f\ Next pour the \ boiling wat e r x ' W into the pot p** *&y over the coffee, t' 1 j . This water must >%, / be hissing hot. H u| 112 Next close the j) Vf t coffeepot very - tightly in order that the aroma MAKING iutir COFFEF. may not escape and allow it to stand ten or twenty minutes. It may be as hot as possible, but do not let it boil if you wish to pre- ( serve its delicacy of taste. Drip coffee is made in the same way, except that the coffeepot is two stories | high, and in the upper section the wa- 1 ter is poured over the grounds, allow j ing them to filter through a sieve. A simple way of making drip coffee consists In allowing the hot water ket tle to come to a boil, then putting the coffee into a bowl and pouring over it the boiling water. The bowl is next placed in the opening of the boiling kettle and covered with a saucer. The coffee is ready in about ten minutes. No true epicure will allow his coffee to be poured into a china coffeepot. This changing of pots wastes too much of the precious aroma. BEATRICE MILI.F.K. THE CODLING MOTH. The Great I'ent of the Apple Grower*. Controlled hy SpruyiiiK. The codling moth is our most seri ous apple pest. It is likely to be a serious pest wher ever the apple can be successfully grown. Apple growing regions now free from it are not likely to long re main so. The average percentage of fruit in jured by the codling moth is not great erin Oregon than in other apple grow ing regions. There are but two annual broods, j not three or four, as has been stated. Owing to irregularity of development these broods overlap so that larva* j may be found in fruit from the time j the first wormy apples occur in spring j until after the fruit is gathered. In the Willamette valley there ap j 112 pears to be no relation between the | blossoming of the apple trees and the j time at which the moths appear. The eggs are deposited principally I on the surface of the fruit and not in j the calyx. At Corvallis egg laying ! does not begin until toward the end of June. It probably does not occur when the evening temperature falls much below GO degrees and is probably most active when such temperature is above 75 degrees to 80 degrees. Probably a considerable number of larvie pupate under clods and rubbish | on the ground. Birds are the most effective natural nids In controlling the codling moth. No benefit is to be expected from the introduction of foreign birds or from artificial use of fungous and bacterial diseases. Farm and (ini'don Xoten. Squashes require rich, well manured soil Plant melons and other cucurbits to ward the last of May. It is useless to do so before settled weather. Mulching conserves moisture, hinders weeds and keeps strawberries clean. The main crop of tomatoes should not be set until after the 20th of May or when danger of frost is past. Sow lettuce and peas for a succes sion. Every home garden should have a border of sweet herbs. The ground into which young seed j lings, such as tomato and cabbage plants, are transplanted should lie line and well firmed about the roots of the | plants. < innuM-Mi i nnnxtm.
