No Score in Foot Ball.
The game of foot ball Saturday after
noon, at DeWitt's Park, between the
Danville Defenders and Snnbnry Buf
faloes was interesting and honors were
even as neither team scored. There
was :i good crowd present and the lo
cal foot ballists feel greatly encouraged
by the showing o" flit Defenders. The
team was only organized last week
and this wa> the first game. The
Sunburians are heavier and have been
playing all season, but despite these
points in their favor the Danville
eleven kept the visitor- from making
a touchdown.
The playing was nearly all in Dan
ville's territory and the Buffaloes put
up a snappy, aggressive game. The
Defenders were really on the defense
till the time, yet they did their work
well. Twice Sunbury expected to
make a touchdown and twice did the
plucky Defenders stem the rush and
prevent the scoring. Sunhury tried
hard to br< ale the o—o.failing in every
attempt. There was no special indi
vidual work, ma-- playing by both
teams being the feature.
The Defender- lined up in tlii- or
der: Pegg, left end ;Gro»s. left tack
le; McCormick, left guard; Fisher,
center; Miller, right guard; Dougher
ty, right tackle; Snyder right end;
Rosenthal, quarter Iwk ; Lewis, left
halfback; MeOlure (captain) right
half back: Kdmondson, full back.
The Wannest November.
Not for vears has the month of Nov
ember been as warm a- has the tirst
fifteen days of this month. For tho
first half of the month the tempeiature
has been three degrees warmer than
upou the warmest November in recent
years, that of IHIKS w hen the average
was 48 degrees. The average so far
has been 51 degrees and the only cool
weather experienced was during the
early and late hours of the day.
Overcoats have n<>t been jiecesasry
during the month and an unusual
thing in connection with this unp>ve
edentecl weather is tho blooming of
various flowers iu many of the gardens
in the city. In 1894 the mercury in
this city dropped to an average of 10
degrees during tho month and since
then it has been much lower during
some of the Nnv-luhers of tie- past few
vears.
A PLEASANT
RECREATION
The fact is not generally known that
Danville has several pigeon fanciers,
who have entered upon the work of
breeding and training these intelli
gent birds and that next season the fly
ing of pigeons will be a new pastime
added to the various sports in which
our town is interested.
The most enthusiastic pigeon fan
cier in Danville is George Stickle,
Center street,who has a loft of twenty
pair, all pedigree birds. One pair has
a record of 504 miles in one day. A.
J. Leniger among others has become
interested in the breeding and t raining
of homing pigeons. He is almost daily
receiving birds and bj- the end of the
present week will have quite a lott.
Pigeon culture has many attractions.
The bird itself, with its intelligence,
and its strange "homing" faculty,
which distinguishes it from most oth
ers of the feathered tribe, forms an
interesting and fascinating study.
What the strange power is that en
ables pigeons released 500 miles from
their loft to immediately discover the
direction of their home remains an un
solved phenomenon. The power is no
longer attributed to instinct, alone, al
though that may play an important
part. The pigeon has a marvelous
sight and a prodigious memory and it
is held by some that it is by a com
bination of sight, memory and intel
ligence, aided by instinct that the
pigeon regains its loft.
Many of the records of homing
pigeons are remarkable. A bird re
leased five hundred miles from home
at o'clock in the morning may ho
found in its loft 13 hours later. The
value of the homing pigeon, therefore
a message-bearer is quite obvious.
Trained pigeons with a pedigree rep
resent considerable money, selling
for prices that may range from s•"> to
sls per pair.
NiDety-eight Per Cent.
There is a fascination about big profits
to a business man. But the conserva
tive and cautious trader perfers to have
lesser per cent, of interest and the larger
per cent, of safety in his investments.
There is no business man who would
not consider it a sound proposition to
invest in an enterprise in which absolute
10-is was impossible and which offered
ninety-eight chances in a hundred for a
rich profit. The statistics of cures ef
fected by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery show that ninety-eight per
cent, of eases of "weak lungs",can be
absolutely cured. Almost if not all
forms of physical weakness may be
traced to starvation. Starvation saps
the strength. The body is just as much
starved when the stomach cannot extract
nutrition from the food it receives as
when there is no food. "Weak lungs,"
bronchial affections, obstinate coughs,
call for nourishment. "Golden Med
ical Discovery" supplies that nourish
ment in its most condensed and assimil
able form. It makes "weak lungs"
strong, by strengthingthe stomach and
organs of digestion which digest and
distribute the food, ami by increasing
the supply of pure blood.
Appointments Are Made.
The majority County Commission
ers-elect, of Northumberland county,
Messrs. Beck and Raudenbush, met
Tuesday at Sun bury and decided on
these appointments, to take effect on
the first Monday of January when they
go into office: Solicitor, L. S. Wal
ters, of Mt. Carmel; Chief Clerk,
John B. Bucher, of Sunbury; Prison
Warden, James Bramhall, of Shamok
in Matron, Mrs. Bramhall; Foreman of
Carpet Weaving, Adam Snyder, of
Sunbury; Prison Physician, Dr. Will
L. Shindel, of Sunbury. These are all
new anointments as there is a change
in the political complexion of the
board from Democratic to Republican.
Bramhall was defeated at the recent
election for Assemblyman.
Burglars Got in a Window.
A visit by burglars that was exceed
ingly bold was paid to the residence
of Mrs. Henrietta Angle, Mill street,
early Tuesday morning. The burg
lars were very cool in their method
and selected an hour when but few
persons were likely to bo on the
street. They entered by raising one of
the front windows of the first floor.
In getting in the lace curtains were
stripped from the pole and torn to
shreds at the top. A noise was heard
about three o'clock and this is sup
posed to be the time the entrance was
made. The burglars went through
the lower part of the house, but noth
ing was disturbed or stolen. They
went out the front doors, leaving thoso
of the vestibule open and the front
one unlocked.
Get Ready for the Winter.
With t!»«• advent of winter close at
hand it shonlcl be the duty of every
citizen to see that there is a general
cleaning uji of streets, alleys and lots
so ;i> to pet Danville in as good a san
itary condition as possible. All refuse
matter should be gathered up and the
liberal use of lime i< recommended.
These precautions will add to the
health of the city and when spring
conies the usual sicknesses arising
from unsanitary conditions would be
obviated.
If this winter should prove warm it
is highly important that there is no
garbage and dirt about in which dis
ease breeds so quickly. And it cold
Weather comes ii should linil every
thing cleaned up before winter sets its
icy grip over the town. Contagious
and infectious diseases are kept down
only by the utmost vigilance and one
of the best preventatives is a clean,
healthy town.
Asleep Amid Flames.
Breaking into a blazing home, some
firemen lately dragged the sleeping in

MRS. IRWIN
GIVES A TALK
A special meeting of the Woman's
Homo and Foreign Missionary society
of the Mahoning Presbyterian church
Was hold at the home of Mrs. William
lvaso West, Bloom street, Tuesday
afternoon. The meeting was decided
upon in honor of the presence in this
city of Mrs. C. If. Irvin, who, with
her husband, Dr. Irvin, is engaged in
missionary work at Fusan, Corea.
About fifty were present at the meet
ing. Dr. Ida Ashenhurst presided.
Mrs. Irvin gave a very instructive
and entertaining talk. Missionary
effort in Corea dates back to ISS2, pre
vious to which no foreigners were ad
mitted to the country. In the year
mentioned Dr. Allen forced his way
into the kingdom and gained the favor
of the king through an accident.
A royal feast was in progress when
an accident occurred in which the
crown prince sustained injuries which
rendered the amputation of one of his
limbs necessary. Among the physic
ians who volunteered were Dr. Allen
and thirteen native doctor*. Dr. Al
len's skillful manipulation, which was
thus brought into sharp contrast with
the bungling work and primitive me
thods of the natives so impressed the
king that he gradually overcome his
time-honored prejudices against fore
igners.
In 18H4 Dr. Uuderwood entered the
country as medical missionary and in
JBSC> the first mission was established.
Mrs. Irvin spoke at length upon her
night school for girls, the only insti
tution of the kind in Corea, which
proves a very effective agency for up
lifting the young of the female sex.
The girls are mostly kept busy looking
after the younger members of the fam
ily and all day are occupied, being
rarely seen without a babe strapped
upon their back. It is only at night
that Mrs. Irvin is able to reach the
girls and through them she reaches
other members of the family, in many
instances the mothers being convert
ed.
The speaker drew some very vivid
pictures of life in the strange and far
off laud of Corea. Leprosy is a great
scourge and Mrs. Irvin dwelt with a
great deal of pathos upon the sad lot
of these afflicted people. They exist
in thousands, many of them being lit
tle children. Driven out from home,
dreaded and shunned by their fellow
creatures, they wonder around the
streets in trronps soliciting food or
money.
The converted natives make devoted
church members and it is very seldom
that church service begins so long as
there is oue member of the congrega
tion absent. Should any one be un
avoidably detained from church he i<
sure to send his contribution.
Congestion of Freight Traffic.
Another evidence of the great traffic
congestion on the Pennsylvania rail
road between Philadelphia and Pitts
burg is the refusal of the company to
ship anthracite coal to Philadelphia
for the piesent. The great hulk of the
coal mined by the anthracite com
panies controlled by the Pennsylvania
and destined for that city, is shipped
via Harrisburg, where it passes thr >ugh
tilt) classification yard before being
sent to its final destination.
On account of the great congestion
at this yard and at all similar yards
ou the main lino, it was exceedingly
difficult, once the cars got into the
yard, to get them out again, and coal
in transit to Philadelphia, which ord
inarily takes but two days, has been a
week or more in reaching its destina
tion. Owing to the great scarcity of
anthracite coal at all points supplied
by the Pennsylvania, it was determin
ed, in order to avoid the almost cer
tain tie-up in the Harrisburg yards,to
ship all anthracite intended for Phila
delphia, for the present, to Baltimore
and Washington. Coal for those points
does not get into the Harrisburg class
tication yards, but is sent across to
Marysville to the Northern Central
t racks.

Pavements Being Repaired.
The action of Council at its last
meeting, which revealed its determ
ination of enforcing the order of a
previous session looking to the repair
ing of pavements seems to have had a
very salutary effect. Work on pave
incuts has been pretty generally in
progress during the past week, al
though there are still several notor
iously bad sidewalks which dare not
be overlooked by their owners
There are a good many property
owners who would rather postpone
sidewalk repairs until next Spring and
who regard the present as altogether
the wrong time of year to embark in
the work. Many of these have employ
ed makeshift methods, patching up
their pavements with ashes or cinder
where bricks are missing or holes oc
cur in tar walks. Such repairs nec
essarily give the sidcwalksa variegat
eil apiiearanec, even if it does render
them smooth and passable to the feet.
Whether or not Council will approve
of all the repairs as made remains to
be seen.

PEPPERED
WITH SHOT
There is general complaint among
farmers over tho depredations of a
certain class of hunters who act as
though property owners had no rights
and who pay little or no hied to tho
law. The latest complaint conies from
Cooper township where on Monday
Farmer Jacob Sliultz received a part
of a load of shot in his body that was
intended for a rabbit.
It happened shortly after noon. Mr.
Shult/.,who occupies i farm belonging
to his father, James Shult/, of this
city, was husking corn in his field,
when three gunners went stalking over
the farm. Mr. Sliultz, it appears, has
not "posted" his lands,as he is one of
those who has no wish to prohibit all
hunting on his lands, provided gun
ners keep within proper hounds. Hunt
ers, however, have taken advantage of
the absence of trespass notices and Mr
Sliultz's farm is daily overrun. His
fences are torn down, gate** are left
open and many other annoyances are
committed by the gunners.
The three men on Monday were as
objectionable as any and Mr. Sliultz
took occasion to remonstrate with
them. They became insolent and the
farmer ordered tlieni olf the place. The
men seemed hut little inclined to obey
and while thev stood there parleying
a rabbit spiang up near Mr. Sliultz's
side. Regardless of the orders given
them to leave one of the men deliber
ately leveled his gun and blazed awav.
The fate of the rabbit has not been
learned but Mr. Sliultz received a
portion of the discharge in his legs.
None of the shot it seems became em
bedded very deep in the flesh with the
exception of a grain or so which penet
rated his thigh. •
By 110 one is such conduct more de
precated than by the better class 1 112
sportsmen, themselves, of which there
ate many in Danville, who in their
pursuit of sport would disdai 11 to
trample upon the rights of those who
own the land they hunt upon.
It is said that iti many localities
even the posted notices have little
ctTecf any longer. The farmers have
shown themselves slow to prosecute
and this fact is prosuui' d upon by
many gunners Several farmers near
Danville have reported the loss of tur
keys, worried to death by the hunter's
dogs, while others openly accuse the
would-be sportsmen of shooting and
nagging their poultry when found at
a safe distance from the farm build
ings.

Decision Affecting' Teamsters.
\ Pennsylvania court holds that a
driver of a wagon with all curtains
down to keep out the rain was guilty
of contributory negligence because lie
only glanced out once in approaching
a cross street to see whether a car was
coming. The court declares it is a
driver's duty to lie on the lookout for
an approaching car, and, when on flic
street, to continue to look until the
track is reached.
