Authorities differ and no one can say positively. The beginning of the day is hid in the misf and dust of antiquity. Tho generally, although by no means unanimously, accepted theory, says the Baltimore Sun,is that which assigns the origin of the custom to France. March 25 used to be New Years day. France took the lead in commencing the new year on January 1 instead of March 25. Before the change was made,the festivities of the •eason culminated on the octave of the feast. April 1, when visits were paid and gifts bestowed. With the adop tion of the reformed calendar in 15(54 New Year's day was carried back to Jauuary 1, and only pretended gifts and mock ceremonial visits were made on April 1, with the intention of making fools of those who had for gotten the change of dato. The cus tom once started was kept up after its origin had beeu forgotten. Some say that the English borrowed their April fooling from the French, but. where—as the English youngster and the American small boy exuUiug ly cry out, "April fool!" when they have perpetrated tho joke, tho French call the person imposed ou an April fish or uu Poisson d' Avril—that is.au April fish by implication an April fool. The term April fool was, prob ably nothing more than an easy sub stitution of the opprobrious epithet for fish. In Germany they have the phrase, "Eineu zani April slacken." "April Gouks" is what they call those who were fooled on the Ist of April in the north of England. A gouk or gowk is properly a cuckoo and the word above means fool. For instance the joker sends his victim with a let ter to a friend a mile away requesting the loan of some article but in reality containing the words: This is the first of April. Hunt the gowk another mile. In England the practice of sending those imposed on sleeveless errands had been a very popular feature. A victim is sent to a book store for a History of Eve's Grandmother or a girl sent to a young clerk for essence of tulips or small boys goto the cob bler's for strap oil. How's This.

One of the saddest and most dis tressing accidents that has happened in this vicinity for years, occurred at the Fourth street crossing of the Sha mokiu railroad in Sunbury at noon ou Monday, when Cloyd, the fourteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Sensenbaoh, had both legs horribly crushed by being thrown under a freight train. The boy was a pupil in the high school and was ou his way home for dinner, having just left the school room. When he reached tho Fourth street crossiug he found the track blocked bv an extra freight train east bound. The train was not in motion and as it was raining hard at the time and fie was anxious to get home he at tempted to crawl over between the cars. While he was standing on the end sill of one of the cars tho train started with a violent jerk. Not expecting the sudden jerk he was unable to save himself and was thrown between the cars directly under the wheels, which passed over both legs. Chief of Police Waltz,who happened to he near at the time, carried him to a nearby house, where everything was done to relieve his suffering until the ambulance ar rived to remove him to the hospital. The most notable instance of the benefits of batik advertising of which we have anv record, says an exchange, is furnished by Hie experience of the Pittsburg Bank for Savings. The amount of the deposits in this hank have increased about fourfold in the past four years, and during the past year 14,000 new deposit accounts were opened, which is regarded as almost wholly the result of advertising. The depositors now number 35,000, witli about 112,000,000 of deposits This bank, has an advertising manager on its staff and advertises regularly in over one hundred and fifty newspapers. AMUSEMENTS. One ot the best anil liveliest come dies of the season will be presented at the Opera House next Saturday even ing. It is Dave Lewis' company of fun makers,supporting the famous lit tle versatile favorite. Miss Kate Wat son, in the latest laugh producer, en titled. "The Hoosier Girl." There are so many pleasing features in this gigantic production of side splitting complications that it would really be tedious to mention them. This we do guarantee, that if you are one of the audience and are not forced to laugh i with joy because of mirth and laught er your past life has been one continuous bunch of dark clouds,trials and tribulations, and you are indeed in a serious condition. Goto see "The Hoosier Gill" and brighten up your existence, you can't keep from laughiug. George Whitman and Eloise Davis are the comedy features of"Man to Man" tho thrilling comedy drama coming soon. Their medley of songs [ is the talk of every city they play and whistled by all the small boys for months after their visit. Marriage gives happiness only when there is a common aim ; the man and the woman have met by tho way and said: "Let us walk together." So be it. And they take each others hands. The marriage will not give happiness when both thus drawn toward each other have turued away from their proper course. All this to combat the false idea shared by many men that life is a vale of tears, and also that other fallacy equally shared by a large majority, that youth, health and riches prove to us that life is a pleasure ground. Life is a place of service, where one must often suffer much, but where oftener one may be very happy. This is one of the lessons taught in Tolstoi's "Resurrection," the wonderful, complete and lifelike story of tho human emotions that has takeu the literary world bv storm, the original American production of which will soon be presented at the Opera House. The dramatization by Mr. Chas. W. Chase, is from tlie orig inal Russian manuscript and is a re markably strong literary production. The scenic environment, costumes and properties carried for the production are historically correct, and the dram atic cast is a most efficient one. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY.

Just now the average woman's thoughts turn toward the Easter hat or bonnet. How is it to be trimmed,is a question which should be consider ed, if Professor I). L. Sharp is a <■ ri t - eriou or judge as to the future bliss or woo of woman in the life beyond. Re cently Professor Sharp, of the Boston university, in an address said no wo man could enter heaven who wore the feathers or body of a song bird or sea gull on her bonnet or hat. Holy writ has not so expressed itself, as in the days of old the present .'tyle of head gear was not in vogue. As Professor i Sharp designates only the feathers of ; "song birds and sea gulls," on a bon net, as depriving the wearer from en | trance toheaven.it leavesawide range for tho decorative fancy of the millin ; er. There is tho red-headed wood j pecker, English sparrow, the rooster and demure hen and other birds. But why slaughter any of the featli errd tribe to adorn woman's headgear when the world is full (if flowers and fruits and vegetables,asks the Chicago Record-Herald. Why should a woman yearn for the plumago of the s<'a gull when she can cover her Easter hat with flowers,with bunches of luscious looking grapes, or with yellow carrots and red-ripe tomatoes? Have the cher ries ceased to shake on mother's bon net? What could be more tempting tin*ti a pyramid of pink-yellow peaches and blue plums peeping from a bower of dahlias and hollyhocks? Let the slaughter of the feathered innocents cease. In the absence of any Biblical in junction against it the women appear inclined togo right along breaking into "heaven" with a new hat as often as the family exchequer or credit will permit. Indeed, some of them exhibit a reckless disposition to take their chances on heaven hereafter if they can linger in the paradise that comes from a feathered headgear that outdoes everything in the block. It would please everybody now if April would got down to genuine spring business. Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Don't Know it. now To Find Ont.

Thursday, from the family residence, Cooper street. Interment will take place in Fairview cemetery. The deceased was a veteran of the Civil war, serving in the 187 th regi ment. He came from a family of brave soldiers, one of his brothers be ing Adam Wray. a member of the Co lumbia Guards, and a hero of the war with Mexico, who planted the Ameri can flag on Chepultcpec. The death of Lewis, has recalled many incidents connected with the ca reer of his famous brother and inci deutally with other members of the Columbia Guards who saw service in Mexico, all ot whom after that war received a great deal of homage from i the citizens of Danville. It was in 184<"> that the Columbia Guards then under the command of Captain Wilson, responded to the call made upon the citizen soldiery of the country. Rank and tile ninety-four ■ strong they were mustered into tho service of the United States on the 28th day of December, 184(5, and pro ceeded at once to Mexico. The first engagement of the Guards] was at the storming of Vera Cruz and j there at the opening of tli'ir brilliant I campaign, Captain Wilson died on the 40th of April 1847. From Vera Cruz j the company under command ot Dr. | C. 11. Friek proceeded in the victor- ' ions march of General Seott towards j the city of Mexico. In the battle of J Cerro Gordo they took a prominent i part and 10.-f one of their number, ! John Smith, who was killed by a musket ball in storming the heights. At the bloody battle of Chepultepec they lost two more of tie ir comrades—] William Die!rick and John Snyder. On tho 13th day of September, I st?, the Columbia Guards were among the first in General Scott's triumphant march into the city of the Aztecs and the balls of the .Montezuma-. After j an absence of nearly two years, when j Mexico was conquered, the Guards returned to Danville on the 28th of July, 1840. They met with a royal reception. It was a gala day in Dan ville the whole community turning out to wi Iconic and honor their ariiv al. A little time develop i! the fact that the most of those who returned had contracted diseases peculiar to the tropical climate of Mexico and one by one they began to drop into prema ture graves. Among the first togo were Jesse (J, (Mark, Ad'im Wray and their noble-hearted commander, Dr. Clarence H. Friek. Adam Wray, who planted tbe colors ou Chepultcpec, survived until about the time of the Civil war, when be was found dead in the street at Will iamsport. There was no one to iden tify him and lie was buried as un known. The fact of his death was finally discovered and some public-spirited citizens here, among them James L. Riehl of the Montour House, set on foot a project to disinter his body and bring it to Danville for the purpose of giving it a burial more in keeping with the brilliant service lie rendered bis country. The grave was finallv located and the remains of Adam Wray were brought back to Danville. Thus it transpires that today in the south east corner of the Episcopal cemetery under a plain marble shaft several feet in height rest the bones of the man who raised the American flag over the heights of Chepoltepee. April in American History. The month of April has played an important part in American history, having settled a number of great pro blems with which this Republic has bad to deal. The Warof the Revolu tion began April 11), 1775, and ended April 11, 1783. Coming on down we find the Sabine disturbance, involving the Southwestern frontier, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, and which began in April, 183»i, running through to June of the next year. Tho Mexican war began April. is:!('.,runniug through to June of the next year. The Mexican war began April 24,1811'.. The Yuma expedition into California ended in April, 1852, having begun in Decem ber tin* year previous. The Gila ex pedition into New Mexico was launch ed April 1(1, 1*57. The Colorado river expedition in California ended April 28, 18511. The Pecos expedition into Texas was launched April K5, 1 Sr»il. There was the war of the rebellion, which started April ID, 1M(51. Hos tilities actually began when Fort Sumter was fired upon, April 12, 18G1. Lee surrendered April H, IK<55 ; Lincoln died on April 15, 18(55. The IJte ex pedition in Colorado began April :t, IBTB. It is a rather curious coincid ence that the late war with Spain be gan April 21, in the same month and but two days later,with n -pi et to the day of the month, than the war of the rebellion, which began April 11'. Die Spanish-American war began April 21, IS'.IS, and elided April 11, 189i>.

Instead, it was a period of real labor. The de mand for better pay and shorter work ing hours lias beeu met by concessions from employers, and many threatened strikes and lockouts have been avoided. Three hundred thousand miners in the bituminous coal fields of Pennsyl vania, Ohio, Indiana aud Illinois are rejoicing in a ten per cent, wage ad vance, which went into effect today. The New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad will deliver its an- 1 swer to tho demands of the trainmen, j An eleven hour day and a ten per \ cent, wage advance was given. In Chicago a disastrous general j strike in the building trades has been averted by the announcement of an, ! all-around increase in wages. The Inter-Borough Kapid Transit company celebrates its assumption of < control of the Manhattan "L" by a general advance in wages. E. P. ■ Bryan, the new general manager, au j nounces advaucos ranging from five to j fifty cents a day. A speedy termination of the build ■ ing tie-up in this city, caused by the | sympathy strike of the structural iron i workers against the American Bridge company, is in sight because of the I refusal of the United Board of Bnild j ing Trades to support President Bu | chauan in his attempt to make the 1 lockout general. The only strike of consequence in augurated today is that of the building trades journeymen along the sound shore from tho Bronx river to New I Haven,between 15,00') aud 20,000 car penters, plumbers,masons aud painters will be idle, and building operations I aggregating #10,000,000 will be tied u;>. The big textile strike in the Lowell, Mass., mills continues, but the move ment has not spread so far to the other mill cities of New England. BUFFALO PLUMBERS STRIKE. | Buffalo, N. Y., April I.—Nearly 000 plumbers in this city went out on ' strike this forenoon, their employers having refused to graut their demands for f!5.50 a day, a three-year contract, and the employment of only one ap i prentice in each shop.

Despite the roars of the McGovern people and yells of "robbery," tight f;iii< went to bed thoroughly convinced i thai " Young Corbett" won last niuht's featherweight championship battle 011 his merits. None save a few disap pointed bettors and the McGovern party objected to the decision. McGovern is heartbroken and fol j lowing his outburst of rage over the decision iie wept like a child. I Corbett took the decision as a mat | ter of fact and did not allow his vic tory to disturb his usual calm demean or. The light as it went, was one of the greatest ever seen in a California ring. Throughout the battle and up J to the very moment that Terry went down in llie eleventh round the boys fought as haul as it was possible for men of their weight and condition to fight. Biains won the battle for Cor bett. In strength he was McGovern's equal, but the once "Terrible Terry" was handicapped in not having the great head, the wonderful generalship of his opponent. It developed this morning that Cor bett and McGovern had a row in the dressing room after the fight. The police were called onto prevent trou ble. McGovern approached Corbett. and told him heatedly that he had won on a fluke. Corbett denied it, and then replied coolly: "I don't like you and have no sympathy for you."J McGovern, white with rage.hia fists clenched, said: "I'll fight you any time, winner take all." Corbett, with a tantalizing smile on his face, declared that he would accept. Friends and the police then interfer ed, the fighters dressed and left the pavilion,each going in a different di rection.
