The school law is very stringent in its provisions. All principals or other persons in charge of scliools are re quired to refuse admission of any child to the schools under their charge or supervision except upon a certificate signed by a physician setting forth that the child lias been successfully vaccinated or that it has had the small pox. Last year a large number ot pupils, unvaccinated, presented themselves at school on the tirst day. In order that tliey might lose no time they were ad mitted on condition that they attend to vaccination within three weeks. The plan didn't work. Once in the schools the pupils in many instances consulted their own pleasure as to vaccination and the directors were wrestling with the problem all win ter. The board has therefore decided to live up to the letter of the law in the future. There is another feature of the law that will be more strictly observed than last year. It will be observed that the pupil must he "successfully" vaccinated. It is no secret that hereto fore many a certificate was held when the vaccination was anything else than "successful". In inoculation, doctors say,the virus fails to take about twenty five times in every hundred. Hereto fore pupils have been granted certifi cates on their first visit to the pliys cian, with the understanding that they were to return for revaccination should the inoculation not be success ful. Into many cases however, the certificate itself was what was most desired and the pupils were glad enough that the virus did not take and were therefore,the last ones to re port a failure. The school board this year will take measures to prevent the granting | of a certificate in any case where the vaccination is not known to have been successful. Several of our physicians say that hereafter the. will requite a second visit and will wit hold a certi ficate until the pupil can show an arm that leaves no doubt as to the success of i lie vaccination.

Not only has its pastor, Rev. Harry Curtin Harman, been appointed a ministerial delegate to the Worlds' Missionary Conference to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, October ]st to 2. r )th, but Hon. James Foster, a prominent member of the congrega tion. has been appointed and approved as a lay representative from the Dan ville District to the same conference.

Harry Curtiu Harmau returned to this city yesterday morning after u short sojourn at the Huntington Val ley Camp Meeting, where on Monday evening he preached a seruion. Mountain Grove, it seems, has had its day and Huntington Valley has become a popular resort tor those who desire to worship Goil in the Grove and who enjoy the society and the fel lowship of religious anil God-fearing people. Rev. Harmau speaks iu en thusiastic terms of the charms of the idaoe, of its suitable location, its management, appointments, etc. The modern campmeeting bears lit tle resemblance to the religious gath erings which flourished under that name thirty years ago. The primi tive tent-like structures as at Mount ain Grove, where one side remains open, find no favor at the present day. At Huntington Valley the campers are all domiciled in tasteful cottages, equipped with doors and windows and comfortably and cozily furnished. There is a large and well managed boarding house and here all the min isters invited are entertained. The worship is conducted in a laige audi torium just completed at a cost of SIOOO. The camp meeting closes to night. The attendance has b"en very large. There are sixty cottages and they are all tilled with worshippers. Many of the leading lights of the Methodist clergy have been present and addressed the meetings. On Sun day Rev. Frank H. Bristol, 1). 1)., of Washington, who was formerly pastor of President MeKiuley, delivered a discourse dedicating the new auditor ium. The camp meeting ground is situat ed on this side of the Susquehanna four miles from Shickshiuny. It is epsy of access, stage coaches plying backward and forward to meet every train. The future of old Mountain Grove is very uncertain. The camp meetings held there were for many years the most i>opular over a wide section. It is now out distanced in the march of progress and practically abandoned. It is for sale and will be probably pur chased by the proprietor of the hotel at that place who may use the ground for picuic purposes, or decide to de nude the place of its timber, which is very valuable. New Board of Directors. The annual election of directors tor the V. M. C. A. took place in As sociation parlor Tuesday. The new board chosen is as follows: W. L. McClure, Hon. James Foster, Jesse Shannon,F. P. Johnson,B. \V. Mussel man, Dr. J. K. Robbins, Samuel Werkheiser, 11. B. Shultz, Amos Vastine, A. 11. Grone, J. W. Swartz, S. A. McCoy,W. H. Ammermau,Will iam V. Oglesby and John D. Williams, Jr. The new members on the board are F. P. Johnson, Amos Vastine, W. H. Ammermau and John 1). Williams,Ji. 11. H. Purman, Thomas Curry. Sr., and R. J. Pegg were members of last year's board,who were not on the list to be voted for this year. The total membership of the Y. M. C. A. is two hundred and fifty. Of these, however,only those who belong to some evangelical church, known as " active members," one hundred and eighty in number, are entitled to vote for directors. Considerably more interest was manifested in the election Tuesday than has been noticeable during sev eral years past. The board elected is made up of representative Christian men, who may be relied upon to do their duty in all matters pertaining to the good of the Y. M. C. A. The election officers Tuesday were William Watkin and Jacob H. Geise. Ball Games iu the Near Future. At Bloomsburg tomorrow the "Old Timers" will cross bats with their old foes, the Cuban Giants. The latter, it will be recalled defeated the "Old Timers'",on two occasions at DeWitt's Park during the present season. Our team, however, has been much strengthened since its battle with the Giants and will no doubt be ready to give them a hard battle. Maley will be in the box for the home team, he being in better form now than any time during this season. On Saturday afternoon the strong Mt. Carmel team, which is recogniz ed as one of the best in the coal reg ions, will play the "Old Timers" at DeWitt's Park. Rentier will twirl the ball for Danville and a good game is guaranteed. On Monday, Labor Day, the home team will play at Williamsport with the team of that place. Manager Mc- Coy is making an effort to secure the Cuban Giants for this city next week. A Bold Challenge. We the undersigned hereby announce that the game of base ball between the "Fats" and the "Leans" was not play ed probably because the "Fats" knew they would be soundly beaten—at least that is the opinion of the "Leans" whose names appear below—and the only thing that can change that opinion is to receive a challenge to play a game on the 4th or sth of Sept. Proceeds to be applied to Monumental Fund. Anxiously awaiting a reply, we are yours truly, L. H. W. Kline, G. B. Wintersteen, E. F. Williams, 1). H. Byerly, H. IJ .Dreifuss, J. B Cleaver, John M. Geise, Herbert Wyle, James Henderson. A few weeks and farewell to the straw hats DANVILLE, PA., THURSDAY AUGUST 2*. I!M>2. PERSONAL PAIACBAI'IIS.

Ac companied by bis two sous lit* was hauling bay from Bloom road to Itis liciui' near I'urscll's slope. About halt past five o'clock when near the steps leading up to lfaliter's Hark the wheel struck a large stone in the road,which jolted the wagon so as to cause Mr. Roberts, who with his sons was on the load to lose his balance and tall head first lo the ground. The hoys who wore in charge of the horses stopped the team as quickly as possible and ran to their father's as sistance. The man lay in the road un conscious, in a pool of blood. In fall ing his head struck a large stone aud lie seemed to be very seriously injured. The news of the accident finally reached town aud in response Dr. Panics drove out to where the event occurred. Mr. Koberts by that time had been removed but the pool of blood lying in the road led the doctor to be lieve that something serious bad oc curred and lie decided to drive a little further. Shortly, boyoml the Forks he overtook the party. Jacob Marr of Kaseville, who had happened along shortly after the accident,took the in jured man into his buggy. Before reaching his home Mr. Huberts fully regained consciousness. His injury proved far less serious than was sup posed. A full examination revealed that the skull was not harmed and that the extent of the injury was noth ing more serious than a contused scalp wound. Au eat ly recovery is antici pated. Montour County Medical Society. The Montour County Medical Society held its annual meeting at the office of Dr. T. I'.. Winters!ceil yesterday after noon, the majority of the members being present. A very interesting paper was read by Dr. T. B. Wintersteeii, the retiring president, on the more important skin diseases,dwelling esjieeiaUy upon two diseases which demand careful con sideration from a diagnostic point of view, namely, scarlet fever and Scar- 1 latinoid Erythema. The latter disease is often accompanied by fever and ' other evidence of constitutional dis- ' turhanccs accompanied with a rash. ' The disc:i-.c is of short duration and in ' its maiiifcstat ions resembles very much ' 11at of scarlet fever. This is the stage ' of the disease when the physician is 1 often at a lov> to know what bis pat- 1 ient is suffering from. In scarlatinoid erythema these ap- 1 parent ly severe symptoms within the ' next ~ 112 hours i ntirely subside an<t the 1 patient is none the worse for his acute 1 illness and requires no further medic- ' al attention; while if it were scarlet ' fever these symptoms would not abate for at least ten days. The subject was a timely one and ' the discussion brought out by the physicians present evidenced the fact that while always on the alert to pro tt ct tin' health ot the public it was their manifest intention in the future to be even more careful in distinguish ing those diseases that are contagious from those that are non-contagious. Scarlatinoid erythema is a non-con tagious disease and children suffering from it would not necessarily be re quired to remain in doors or out of school after the subsidence of the acute symptoms. Officers were elected for the ensuing year as follows: President, Dr. G. A. Stock ;vice presidents, Dr. Smith and Dr. .1 E. Bobbins of the Hospital ; secretary, Dr. .T. It. Kimerer. ; treasur er, Dr. P. C. Newbakcr. Dr. S. Y. Thompson, Dr. T. B. Winterstceu and Dr. (J. A. Stock were chosen as de legates to the State Convention, which will meet at Allentown September Kith, 17th and 18th. Will be Married at Washington. Invitations have been received for the wedding of Miss Anna Catherine , Moyer, formerly of this city, which ( will take place Wednesday, Sept. 3, at Washington, 1). C. Miss Moyer will be married to Mr. Alfred M. Copeland and the wedding ceremony will take place at S o'clock in the evening in the Sixth Presbyterian church. Mr. and Mrs. Copeland will be at home after October liith at 701 1) street, S. E. Washington. Miss Moyer, the bride, was born iu Danville and up to some 13 years of ag" resided here. Her father, Jacob W. Moyer, was a marble cutter and was in business at the well known stand on Mill street just above West Mahoning. For several years past Miss Moyer has held a responsible position in the Pension bureau at Washington. ITrainping Down the Grass. The trustees of Mahoning Presbyter ian church are much annoyed by the manner in which one corner of the church lawn is defaced by pedestrians who are in the habit of taking a short cut diagonally over the High school grounds. The intersection of two cobbled gutters occurs on the north west corner of the school property, at the verv point where pedestrians would step on or off the pavement. To ' avoid this persons crossing the school ■ grounds step upon the church lawn killing the grass on a large space. There seems no way to prevent this ' and the public are ap|iealed to to try to ' spare the grass, which can lie done ' with verv little inconvenience. The early chrysanthemums are ] blooming. ! SHERIFF JACOBS Sheriff Albert Jacobs of Luzerne county, whose home is at lla/l»ton, came down to this city yesterday morning and returned last evening Sheriff Jacobs is a nephew of our townsman, John Jacobs and his vi-it to Danville was mainly one of pleasure While in this city lie wa* interviewed by a representative of this week. Iu the opinion ot Sheritf Jacobs tin situation in the coal region is very grave and rapidly approaching a cri-i- There is probably a growing disjunc tion among the miners of American birth to return to work. The foreign element, however, which comprises 7."> Iter cent of the mine workers is sullen and stubborn. This is especially true of the Italians who are heavily armed and may be seen standing around in groups whittling sticks with fug trench erous-lo.iking knives, a single thru-t of which would kill a man The tor eigners were the last to consent to strike and now being oat they are firm They say: "Me -trike; now me going to win." Sheriff Jacobs says the dash will come when enough men will be found to ojierate one of the collieries at Ha/.letou or Duryea and it will come soon. He has two hundred deputies stationed at different points m tin county. These are nearly all veterans of the Spanish-American war,many ot whom retain their uniforms, which seems to have a good effect oil the for eigners. Sheriff Jacobs has not yet found it necessary to call upon the militia, but lie says In will not hesitate to do so at the very moment when it becomes ap parent that the presence of the soldiers is necessary to prevent bloodiihed and the destruction of projierty. An Opportunity to Procure Cheap Coal. As the river falls toward low wat< r mark an increased activity is untie able among those who are trying to fill their cellars with coal from the river. Yesterday there were no b-- than eight floats at one time plying backward and forward between the shore and different point* in the channel. The quantity of coal brought iu, notwithstanding the lack of facilities, , is already quite considerable and the fact is apparent that the river at this place as well as at Sunbury contains coal in practically unlimited quanti ties. Iu the neighborhood of the island above town there are large de|Mwita and it is from jKiints in that locality that most of the coal taken from the , river during the last few days has been extracted. It is claimed for coal 4 iu the river here that it is of lietter quality than at Sunbury,as it is near- , er the mines and has not been exposed to the action of the water so long Let the latter he as it may it is sur | prising that no effort has been made ( here to extract coal from the river on ( a larger scale. It is a profitable in- ( dustry at Sunbury where as is well ( known it is carried on iu a wholesale t way. Surely, in view of the scarcity, j the inducement is not lacking, as coal with the approach of autumn ( will find sab- at almost any price. A gentleman iu this city with plen ty of push is talking up a project ( which would prove profitable and at the same time furnish fuel to our ( citizens at a figure that no one could comidaiu of He reasons that if a | man with a row boat can extract a ( couple of tons of coal from the river and realize four or .five dollars on his day's work several men with a Mat boat could work to a much better ad- j vantage anil that a quantity could be taken out daily that would pay hand somely on the investment, even if a "digger" such as used at Sunbury be not employed. It is not unlikely that something may be done iu furtherance of the scheme during the coming week McKinley Postal Cards on Sale. The new McKinley postal cards were put on sale at the local |Mist of fice last evening. By yesterday noon scarcely more than a dozen of the old stock remained aud these were sold during the afternoon. The public have been very anxious to get hold of the new cards and many persons in leaving the post office yesterday show ed an aggrieved look because they were obliged to accept the old style. Orders from the department .however, prevented any new ones beiug sold until all the old ones were dis|iosed ; of. I The McKinley cards arc of the same shape and size as those bearing the por trait ot Jefferson. In the upper right hand corner is the portrait of the mar tyred President with his name, and , the dates of his birth ami death The ( United States shield occupies the up- 112 jier corner on the left.
