All ART CENTER
The eighth anuual Assembly of tin
Kag*» Mere Chautauqua will be in
session from July 16 to Septt mber 3,
1903. During the Assembly the sum
mer schools will be in progress, and
the high standard established by the
schools will be fully maintained
Special attention will be given to the
Art department, under Mr. J. Wt sley
Little, and to the School ot Photo
graphy, which is iu charge of Mr. J.
Horace McFarland. The haudsomt
building erected for the use of these
departments is fully equipped, and a
constant exhibition of water colors,
charcoal sketches and pictorial photo
graphs will be maintained during the
season. These departments have been
successful, and the periodical recep
tions, at which the work of students
was displayed in connection with the
permanent exhibition, were very large
ly attended.
Instruction is given iu water coloi
painting, as well as iu charcoal and
other black-and-white mediums. The
sketch class under Mr. Little's direc
tion, aud in connection with the un
equaled beauties of the place, always
produce very satisfactory results.
Eagles Mere Chatauqua has for years
been an art center of no mean repute.
The photographic school was opened
in 1901, under Mr. McFarland, and its
work was very satisfactory. The effort
Is to teach true pictorial photography,
and the fine equipment of the school
aids iu securing notably rapid progress
for thoughtful students. Ordinary
portraiture is neither practiced,taught
nor encoutaged; the purpose of the
•chool is to bring about the adequate
recording by the camera of outdoor
scenes aud the beauties of nature.
While those totally unacquainted with
the camera as a means of artistic ex
pression are taught a safe ground
work upon which to proceed, especial
attention is given to advance students,
who wish to make use of the camera
for illustrative and decorative work.
Dr. H. 3. Wiugert, who lias had
charge of the Physical Culture depart
ment for several years past, will re
turn, and will conduct his swimming
school, which has become- such a
popular feature.
In arranging for the evening enter
tainments in the auditorium, it has
been the aim of the mauagi mcnt to
secure only high class talent. The
lecturers and entertainers who appear
on the programme are well known
and highly recommended. Every oven
lug during the sev< u weeks of the As
sembly there will he something inter
esting iu the auditorium. Tim pro
gramme has been prepared with the
thought of combining instruction and
amusement, and there will he no dry,
nuiuteresting lectures. Instead, the
idea of wliolesoun entertainment hat
been kept closely in view.

BROADENING
CHARITY
Local Freemasons are much interest
id in a movement to establish "Masonic
Homes" on an entirely new basis,pro
viding not only lor the care of indi
gent brethren, but also their wives,
widows aud children. The measure
its been endorsed by the two local
Masonic lodges aud John VV. Farus
worth of this city, who as District
Deputy Grand Master, is one of a com
mittee appointed to confer with the
lodges of this district, states that ho
finds Freemasons practically unani
nious m supporting this departure,
which carries with it increased help
fulness and broadening charity.
It is under the inspiration of Edgar
A. Tennis, Grand Master, that the
Masonic lodges of Pennsylvania are
voting so enthusiastically on the new
measure, which provides that two
homes be instituted—one in Central,
and the other in Western Pennsyl
vania. Those will be homes in fact
and deed, where husband, wife and
children, victims of misfortune, may
together enjoy the liberality and help
fulness for which the institution
stands pre-eminent. Admission to
these homes will be absolutely free,
so that Pennsylvania Freemasonry is
placed on the same plane of eleemosy
nary work as other jurisdictions.
The present home at Philadelphia is
full and besides is confined to Masons
only. There has hitherto been no pro
vision for Masons' wives, or children
except in such private way as the in
clination and principles of the order
dictated when liberality was called
for by the exigencies of each particu
lar case.
A fund of $50,000 bequeathed for the
purpose of enlarging the active benefits
is a foundation for the new movement.
It will supplement any tax laid by the
grand lodge or rather be a nucleus for
such additional source of income for
the support- of such institutions as the
wisdom of the Grand Body may de
vise.
This will permit aged and indigent
Masons to pass their declining years
in comfort without being severed from
those they love aud are not longer
able to support. Their children will
also receive the care and education
needed to lit them for the struggle of
life.
It is a distinct departure iu this
state from the system of private
charities and taking in the wives and
children it will be of incalculable
benefit, illustrating how much good a
benevolent institution such as Free
masonry may accomplish.
Drunkards Gan be Committed.
Governor Peuuypacker Thursday
signed a bill to provide for the com
mitment of persons habitually addicted
to the use of alcoholic drink or in
toxicating drugs to a hospital or asy
lum on petition to the Court of two
relatives or friends of the alleged
drunkard.
Before such person is admitted into
the institution payment must have
been made or security giveu to the
authorities for his board, care and
treatment and to indemnify them
from all cost and expense. No person
shall be kept iu restraiut for more
than otio year, and all commitments
under the act are reviewable by habeas
eorpu- proceedings at any time.

Dog Bites Pedestrian.
Mrs. William DoWitt of South Dan
ville, was bitten by a dog while pass
ing along Water street this city, Sat
urday afternoon.
The dog, which was of the hound
tire d, it is alleged, without any pro
vocation, as the woman was passing
leaped out and seized her by the arm.
The bite inflicted was not a very se
rious one, although Mrs. DeWitt was
very badly shocked aud frightened.
The owner of the hound much re
grets the occurrence and will take
incisures to prevent its repetition.
There is no suspicion whatever that
the dog was mad.
Dr. P. C. Newbaker gave Mrs. De-
Witt the surgical attention that she
required.
Out for Conference Secretary.
liev A. L Miller, pastor of the
Carawissa Methodist church, and a
former pastor of St. Peter's church,
South Danville, has announced his
canlidacv for the secretaryship of the
Central Pennsylvania conference and
every indication points to his being
to that office. For nine years
lie has been the conference recorder
and has executed the work in a way
that has marked his minutes as the
uio«t cutnpli te of any Methodist con
ference. Having held the recorder
ship for so long he is naturally eager
to secure the higher position, which
carries with it no little work. The
election will beheld at conference
next year and there is every reason
to believe he will be successful.

NATURALIZATION
LAW IN EFFECT
The Clerk of the Courts has receiv
ed a copy of the new law recently
passed by Congress regulating the
naturalization of aliens. The law was
passed iu February ot this year and
on March 3, received the approval of
President Roosevelt.
The law was passed by Congress in
response to the appeals of the people
of the country, the assassination of
President McKinley being attributed
in a large measure to the presence in
the country of so many aliens of an
archistic tendencies.
Under the new law no alien belong
ing to an organization that advocates
assaulting or killing of any officer or
officers of the United States or any
other organized government can be
come a citizen of the United States.
An alien holding such belief is also
barred from entering into this country.
Judges having jurisdiction of na
turalization proceedings or duties to
perform in regard thereto shall, ou
the final application for naturalization,
make careful inquiry into such mat
ters and before issuing the final order
or certificate of naturalization cause
to be entered on record the affidavit
of the applicant aud of his witnesses
so far as applicable, reciting and
affirming the truth of every material
fact requisite for naturalization.
Any person who purposely procures
naturalization in violation of the pro
vision of this law shall be fined not
more than fa,ooo,or shall be imprison
ed not less than one nor more than ten
years, or both.
Any person who knowingly aids,
advises or encourages any such person
to apply for or secure naturalization,
or to file the preliminary papers de
claring an intent to become a citizen
of the United States, or who in any
naturalization proceeding knowingly
makes an affidavit false as to any mat
erial fact required to be proved in,
such proceeding, shall bo fined not
more than $5,000, or imprisoned not
less than one or more than ten years
or both.
Friends Tell of Elysburg Affair.
Friends of the W. C. T. U. of Elys
burg taKe exceptions to the statements
of the graduating class that they in
sulted them, and iu the followiug
communication give a true history ot
the whole matter:
On the basis of the fact that some of
the parents conscientiously objected
to their children going to the saloon
for the Senior class supper, the W. C.
T. U. iu order to have all the class to
gether made the followiug proposition
to the Senior class, which was the
only "letter" sent to E. K. Richards,
principal, or the Senior class by any
of the ladies: The ladies of the \\.
C. T. U. will give a banquet at the
Hoff House (A temperance house) a
the close of the graduating exercises
Apr. 11th for the classes ot 1903 and
1901, the alumni, the teachers of the
high school, and the school board at
35 cents a plate; the proceeds to be
given the Elysburg high school for the
organ Fund, by older of committee.
The above proposition disproves the
statements ot the class that "in the
attempt to prevent the banquet being
held at the hotel the class says the
-ooiety insulted them by quoting
Scripture to the principal which ac
cused him of things of which he was
not guilty." At the commencement
proper because the class historian re
ferring to the W. C. T. U. made some
unbecoming allusions to the temper
ance interests one of the best citizens
of the community arose at the clo-e of
the exercises and resented the unkind
thrusts at the temperance workers in
words showing the courage of honest
convictions.
Nervous Dyspepsia It Cause and Cure
Overwork any organ audit gives out
the stomach is no exception. Ask it
to dige-t anything, everything at any
time in half the time required, and
like an over driven horse, it balks.
Nature intended tiie stomach should
have regular hours. A time to work,
a time to rest —and when you break up
this habit, you upset the whole ar
rangement. The stomach nerves be
come exhausted, the glands refuse to
act, the food does not digest—lies
heavy, ferments and repeats. There
is pain, gas forms,bloating occurs, tlu
tieart becomes irregular and a nervous
irritable feeling sets in. This is ner
vous dyspepsia aud Dr. A. W. Chase's
Nerve Pills its cure.
Mrs. M. Fields of No. 128 Pine St.,
Danville, Pa., says:—"l had been
bothered a good deal for some time
with a nervous indigestion and wn
feeling generally run down. I did
not rest well and had frequent nerv
ous headaches. I got some of Dr. A.
W. Chase's Nerve Pills at Gosh's Drug
Store and used them and know that
they are an excellent medicine. I rest
well again—feel strong and well and
the headaches and indigestion are
gone. The medicine is an excellent
one and I am pleased to recommend
it." 60 cents a box at dealers or Dr

THE SPROUL
IAD BILL
The Sprou 1 Good Roads bill, wliicli

LOST AR!
DISCOVERED
James Brennan, of Centralia, has
made a discovery that may make him
famous and may lead to the revela
tion of an ancient but hitherto im
pregnable secret. Mr. Brennan has
discovered how to weld copper and
lias thus taken the first step toward
discovering how to temper it that it
may be given an edge. His discovery
has aroused wide spread interest,
especially among men who have de
clared that this feat was impossible of
aecom plishment.
Mr. Brennan is a blacksmith by
trade and for several years past has
been employed as chief inspector at
the car barn of the Shamokin-Mount
Carmel Electric railway. He is of an
inventive turn of mind and has de
vised a number of attachments in use
ou the road. Lately he has been ex
perimenting with copper, trying to
make a perfect weld,and success final
ly crowned his efforts. Iu his exper
iments he used copper bond-wire % of
an inch in diameter. When bo final
ly discovered the secret lie made a
chain of five links, each link welded
and each weld perfect. He theu
questioned many blacksmiths about
the possibilitv of welding copper and
in each case was told that the feat
could not be done. When he produced
the chain lie had made they still
| doubted and were only convinced by
cutting into the metal that it was
j copper. Saturday he made another
; chain of live links, producing five per
fect welds out of seven attempts. Sat
urday evening he displayed the chains
to a number of friends and on some
j of the links the weld was so perfect
j that the overlapping of the metal
1 could not be seen but on others it was
left rough so that the junction was
i plainly discernible.
To reassure himself that his pro
| cess of welding was genuine Mr.
; Brennan put one of the chains to a
test Saturday. He hooked it to ouo of
the compressed air hoists in the car
: barn and to the other end he attached
|an armature weighing 730 pounds.
This heavy weight was lifted iu the
presence of four witnesses and not a
link yielded. The delighted discover
er says that he now feels confident
: that the chain is capable of sustaining
2500 lbs.

More Money for Schools.
A law passed by the present Legisla
ture provides that the money due
townships from liquor licenses shall,
where taxpayers' associations exist,
be turned over to the use of the school
district. The bill does not become
operative until 11*04. It will benefit
the school district of townships to the
extent of several thousaud dollars. At
present the taxpayers association of
many townships uses the license money
for the repair of the roads. There has
been a question as to the expediency
of this on the part of the present and
past town-hip school boards.

LICENSE FOR
CANVASSERS
The grocers of Danville will in the
near future present a petition to
Council asking for such legislation as
will make it necessary for any person
or persons selling at retail upon the
streets any goods not of their own
manufacture, to secure a license. It
is claimed by the merchants that so
liciting is a great annoyance to many
housekeepers and that after the people
have become accustomed to making
their purchases at the stores, the new
plan will be of benefit all around.
The following grocers have already
signed the petition which is as fol
lows :
To the Honorable, the Chief Bur
gess and the Town Council of the
Borough of Danville, County of
Montour and State of Pennsyl
vania ;
The undersigned merchants and
citizens of the said borough respect
fully petition your honorable body to
enact, at an early date, such legisla
tion as will require any and all per
sons desiring to sell at retail, b
sample or otherwise, or who shall
solicit orders at retail, or who shall
solicit orders for, sell or deliver at
retail upon the streets, or by travel
ing from house to house within the
limits of the borough of Danville, any
books, printing, foreign or domestic
goods, wares, merchandise or fruits,
not of their own production or manu

violation of such ordinance.

PROVISIONS OF HE
ANTI-SPITTING BILL
The anti-spitting bill is still in the
hands of the Governor. Every man,
woman and child in Pennsylvania ia
interested in this bill, for it affects
them all.
Representative Stulh, of Philadel
phia, introduced the hill nearly three
months ago. In its straggling along as
one of the pet projects of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company it was so
patched as to apply to all passenger
railways, and to require "cuspidors
or other receptacles" to he suitably
located. It was provided that in cars
there should be one such receptacle
"lor every two passengers." The
cuspidor amendments were knocked
out, however, and finally in a shajH
unrecognizable to Mr. Stulb himself
the bill went to the Governor »s fol
lows :
"That it any person or person*
shall expectorate or spit upon the side
walk of a city, town or borough, or
on the doors and passageways of pub
lic buildings, or the doors of public
conveyances propelled by steam,
electricity or otherwise, or on the
floors of theatres, railroad stations
and other indoor places resorted to bv
the public, he, or she or they shall be
guilty of a public nuisance, and upon
conviction thereof before any magis
trate, justice of the peace, alderman,
mayor or burgess, shall be sentenced
to forfeit and pay a fine not exceeding
one dollar, and in default of payment
thereof, shall be committed to and
imprisoned in the county jail of the
proper county for a period not exceed
ing five' days "

I For liver troubles aud constipation
There's nothing better in creation
Than Little Early Risers, the famous
little pills
They always effect a cure and save
doctor bills
Little Early Risers are different from
all other pills. They do not weaken
the system, but act as a tonic to the
tissues by arousing the secretions and
restoring the liver to the full perfor
mance of its functions naturally.
Gosh & Co.. Paules & Co.
Contemporaneously with Spriug and
hothouse strawberries in the city of
Washington came an epidemic of sui
cides. Some soulful genius has con
ducted an investigation and claims
that the early strawberries are respon
sible for the snicides. His idea has
not yet been stated with the fullcou-se
of reasoning leading thereto, but the
inference is that people purchase the
berries for fifty cents per box and af
ter discovering what insipid, tasteless
things they are, the deluded purchas
ers go out into some lonely place and
make away with themselves.
Poorly?
" For two years I suffered ter
ribly from dyspepsia, with ®reat
depression, and was alwa\ s feeling
poorly. I then ;■ ied Aver's Sarsa
parilla, and 111 one week I was a
new man." John McDonald,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Don't forget that it's
"Ayer's" Sarsaparilla
that will make you strong
and hopeful. Don't waste
your time and money by
trying some other kind.
