STATE HOSPITAL
FOR THE INSANE
The official report of the Danville
Insane asylum for the year has just
been issued. It is an illustrated vol
ume of eighty-four pages. It goes ex
tensively into the history of tho in
stitution and shows that at the end of
last year there were 536 males and 4ssi»
females under treatment, a toral of
1.025.
Iu the report of the Board of Trus
tees to the Committee on Lunacy of
the Board of Public Charities of the
state, wo note the following
The operation of our Hospital dur
ing the year just ended has been along
aline similar to that of previous
years, with the addition of such ex
igencies naturally arising in its
course. There were present during
the season just ended 536 men and 489
women, total 1025; there were admitt
ed during the period 208 men and ISO
women, total 388; there were discharg
ed 151 men and 134 women, total 258,
au increase for the bionnial period of
57 men and 46 women, total 103.
Of those discharged, 97 were restor
ed, 53 improved, 28 unimproved, 103
died, and one not insane.
The total expenditures for the year
ending September 30, 1901, were
775.00, aud the daily average number
of patients was 963.34. This shows the
oost of each patient per year to be
$193.88, or a weekly cost of $3.71.
The expenditure for maintenance dur
ing the year ending September 30,
1902, shows a total of $209,875.43;
given a daily average of 1018.s;j pati
ents, makes the yearly per capita cost
$205.99, or a rate of $3.96 per week.
The latter year's expenditures include
$8095.22 collected from delinquent
"Poor Districts," which represents
bills of several years standing and
should have been included in their ap
propriate years had tho money been
received. Deducting this amount as
not properly applying to the mainten
ance of the biennial period, reduces
the total expenditure to $201,875.13, a
yearly rate of $198.05, or a cost of
$3.80 per week. The maintenance
covers wages, all supplies, fuel,cloth
ing, ordinary repairs, insurance, tele
phone rental, etc.
Your attention is called to the in
creased cost per patient, particularly
for the past year. Tiiis is due to tin
advance in price of all commodities,
and especially that of meat, butter,
eggs and coal. These few items enter
very largely into the year's supplies
and a small increase in the price
makes a notable excess in cost of main
tenance.
Riyer Goal Still in Use.
A large Invoice of coal consisting
of t?n car loads has just been stored
away at the Water Works.
The immense pile contains some two
hundred and fifty tons and fills near
ly all the available space in the large
middle division where the boilers were
formerly located.
During the miners' strike last year
the Water Commissioners learned that
river coal could be used advantage
ously. Although prices now have be
come normal it is found that money
•an still be saved by the use of the
river article. Therefore of the ten car
loads laid in at the Water Works seven
are of river coal, the remaining three
being P. & R. rice coal.
The two hundred and fifty tons or
so on hand at this season will not la-t
so long as the same quantity in winter
and will probably be used up by the
laat of July. During the summer a
great deal more water is required than
in winter to supply the demands made
by street sprinkling, watering lawns,
gardens, etc.,and the pumps are push
ed much harder with the result that
nearly one-fourth more coal is burned.
Stricken With Diphtheria.
jThe household of Frank Ryan, who
lives on the farm of J. R. Sharpies-,
Rush township, is grievously afflict
ed. Three children—twin sisters, aged
seven, and a little boy of fonr years
are down with diphtheria in a most
malignant form.
Dr. N. M. Smith of South Danville
and Dr. P. C. Newbaker of this city
are the attending physicians. On Fri
day last there were slight hopes that
any of the children would recover
On that day and on the next anti-toxin
was administered. The powerful
remedy in each case seems to have
been potent in counteracting the
poisonous effects of the diphtheria
germs. By Monday a gradual improve
ment was discernible, which was -till
more marked by yesterday. At last
•ccouuts there were good grounds for
believing that each of the children
would recover.
Oeal Proßpects Good for Next Year.
Coal operators and coal men gener
ally are very jubilant over the pros
pwet of the coal trade for the next
year or two. According to the reports
tbe companies had all they could do
♦o supply the demands during April
with the mines working full tilt The
later orders are coming in so briskly
as to give reason to believe that it
will require full time at the mint s to
meet the demand until fall, and even
Uieu that complaints will be beard of «
a soaroity of coal in a good many see- I
lions.

AN OLD-FASHIONED
FOURTH OF JULY
Every community in this broad land
| ought to celebrate the Fourth of July
with old-fashioned fervor. We stit?
getting away from tho grand i«I• •:11 .-~
which influenced tho father* ot the
Republic to the Declaration of In
( dependence. \VV are forgetting that
j "all men are created equal, that tln-y
| are endowed I>y their creator with
I pertain unalienahle rights," and that
"among these are life, liberty and the
I pursuit of happiness." We are over
! looking the fact that governments
derive all "their just powers from the
consent of the governed," and wo ap
pear to have lo>t siylit of the sublime
truth on July -I, ITTti, that "whenever
any form of government becomes «I«• -
structiveof these ends, it is the right
of the people to alter or abolish it."
An old-fashioned celebration of the
Fourth of July in all portions of the
country might have the effect of call
ing to the minds of the citizens of to-,
day the facts that on that day in the
eventful year 177«">. the courage >us and
high-minded men of the American
colonies declared themselves absolved
of allegiance to the King of Great
Britain, their rightful sovereign, he
cause "of repeated injuries and usurpa
tions, all having in direct object the
establishment of an absolute tyranny
over these States." For the reason,
moreover, that "he has made Judges
dependent on his will alone; lie has
erected a multitude of new offices; he
has kept amongst us in times of peace,
standing armies; he has affected to
render the military independent, of and
superior to the civil power and he has
•combined with others to subject lis to
a jurisdiction foreign to our constitu
tion."
Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock and
their patriotic associates on that
memorable day gave other reasons for
declaring the colonies of America fre
aud independent of the sovereignity
of the British King. "Hi- gave hi
asseut to laws," they declared, "fot
quartering large bodies of armed
troops among us; for protecting them
by a mock trial, from punishment for
any murders they should commit on
the inhabitants of these states; for
cutting off our trade with all parts of
the world ; for imposing taxes on lis
without our consent; for depriving us
in many cases ot the benefits of trial
by jury and for taking away our
charters, abolishing our most valuable
laws, and altering fundamentally the
forms of our government." Finally
they indicted him "for suspending
our own Legislature and declaring
themselves invested with power to
legislate for us in all cases whatso
ever."
Our illustrious forefathers gave still
other reasons tor casting off allegi
ance to and taking up arms against
their sovereign under the law. "He
has abdicated our government here,"
they added, "by declaring us out
of his protection and waging war
against us; lie lias plundered our seas,
ravaged our coasts, burnt our town
ami destroyed the lives of our people ;
he has excited domestic insurrection
amongst us, and has endeavored to
bring on the inhabitants of our front
iers, the merciless Indian savages,
whose known rule of warfare is an
undistinguished destruction of all ages,
sexes and conditions " In conclusion
those men of magnificent courage and
lofty principles declared that "a
j prince whose diameter is thus mark
ed by every act which may define
i tyrant is unfit to he thu ruler u! a
free people."
Every one of these acts of tyranny
have been and are still being perpetr.a
ted in the Philppines in the name of
• the American governent and under
the shadow of the American flag,
112 Isn't it time, therefore, that some
' thing should be done t• > bring about a
' more intelligent understanding of the
fundamental principles of our govern
ment? The reading of the Declara
tion of Independence has been forbid
den in the Philippines for the reason,
as has been stated, that its language
■ incites insurrection and encourages re
bellion. Then it should be more gen
erally read, and studied, and followed
here to the end that its precepts may
be again made the guide of our gov
ernment. For that reason everybody
should join in the movement for an
old-fashioned Fourth.
The X-Rays.
Keceut experiments, by praetical test
and examination with the aid of the
X-Rays, establish it as a fact that
Catarrh of the Stomach is not a disease
of itself, but that it results from re
peated attacks of indigestion. "How

STOCKHOLDERS' :
Tim Philadelphia newspapers yester
day contained an account of the meet
iof the stockholders ot tin Danville

Camden, Tuesday. As our citi/ens arc
j much interested in the proceedings ot'

The following is from the "Phil- !

The annual meeting ot the Dauvillc 1
Kes-emer Company was held in ('am- |

without any report being submitted, j
It seems that there is a trust which '
seeks to control the making of hovels, j
and it is said that the ttust has given .
the Danville Bessemer Company the i
option of selling out to it or being
forced out of business. This is the I
very gentle way that combinations of j
j capital, which frown upon combina
tions of labor,have of gaining a point.
The adjournment was made so as not
to force the Danville Bessemer Com
pany to show its hand through figures '
in an annual report while the "negoti
ations" are pending. The meeting
will reconvene at the call of tin presi
dent, John .1. .Mac Donald.

FIGHTING FIRE
The section hands on the Pennsyl
vania railroad during the last two <
weeks have been kept much husii r i
fighting fire than in repairing tracks. j ,
The crew under David Nuss, South j |
Danville, up to yesterday morning ]
along with section hands ot the lower
part of the division Were busy tight
ing mountain tire at Wolverton
During several days last week the
South Danville crew was pressed into
• -ervice at Scotch Valley where both
j McCanly Mountain on the east and
j Nescopi ek Mountain on the West of
I the valley were on lire at the same
i time.
The Pennsylvania company is very
! quick to extinguish fires along its line
| whether it endangers any railroad
i property or not. The company does
; not stop to inquire whether or not the
fire originated from any of its engines
hnt immediately summons its section
hands, often bringing them from a
considerable distance as at Wolverton
and Scotch Valley, masses them to
gether like so many soldiers and sends
them out against the fire. Mr. Nuss
said there were sixty the other day
engaged on one spot.
The battle is often an unequal and
long drawn one, and the lire for days
may have the b.'st of the men. The
latter however, like soldiers in action
are not permitted to relax hut are
kept on the mountains night and day
face to face with the fire. Not that
the workmen become victims to any
especial hardship, however, for the
railroad company looks very cdosely
after their comfort, regularly sending
installments of food to the mountains
along with whatever else the men may
require, li is a question whether the
men, the most of whom were raised
among the mountains and are ac
customed to fighting fire,do not rather
enjoy the experience than otherwise
and welcome what proves to be a
change from the monotony of their
regular daily employment.

HOOFING TOE
MIDOE
There is a tie among the County
Commissioners ot Montour and North
umberland counties concerning some
of the details of re-rooting tie iivei
bridge, which threatens to hold up
matters tor awhile, even if it does not
become necessary to relet the work
The contract as awarded is HI tin
hands of Trumhow'er & Werkhei-i i
Since the letting some tacts relative ■
to the work over-looked hefori hav
been discovered, which mak' it
necessary to modify the terms some- ,
what. There was an error in the i
measurement of the roof while tie
sheeting is found in much worse con
dition than was supposed The sheet
ing itself is furnished by the two'
counties, hut the contractors ar> oh
liged to put it on. It was with refer
dice to the sheeting that the bitch j
occurred.
At the last joint meeting win n hut
two of the Northumberland county 1
| commissioners were present they seem j
ed to acquiesce with the Montour
county hoard in the modification ot
terms and the matter was thought to •
lie settled.
At a joint meeting held MI the
Court House yesterday all three ot the
Northumberland county board Beck,
Coouer and Baudenbnsh—were pr»-s
--ent. Tliev declined to sign the con
tract and have views altogethei differ
cut trorn the Montour County board.
The votes taken resulted in a tie and
there the matter rests.
The situation i- especially trying
to the contractors, Trumbower iV
Werkheiser, w ho have already ordered
the shingles for the bridge.
Traffic Conditions on the Pentisy.
A Pennsylvania official in -peaking
of the traffic condition* says: "There
seems to he no end to the amount of
business thrust upon the railroad com
panies. Notwithstanding the tremend
ous amount of freight handled by all
the roads during the past year there is
still an increase and every day the
tonnage becomes greater. It l- a source
of comfort, however, to say at this
time the Pennsylvania systi mi- at
least handling more freight than the
same period of la-t year with absolute
ly no trouble. The siege of blockade
that wan encountered during the wint
er has lii entirely overcome and to
day we are moving a surprisingly
heavy tonnage with most appaient ;
ease. From all indications the lake |
movement of coal this year will be
the greatest ill local history, while ;
the ore shipments are also on the in- |
crease. The reason for the present
favorable conditions is principally by
reason of the fact that our car and
engine supply has been materially in
creased in the past few month- and j
will continue to he enlarged by the .
deliveiy of much equipment ordered a
year or more ago. There is littl"
doubt but that this year will prove ;
the gteatesf of all in the matter of
freight tonnage.''
Too Great a Risk.
Iu almost every neighborhood some- j
one has died from an attack of colic or .
cholera morbus, often before medicine
could be procured or a physician sum
limned. A reliable remedy for these
diseases should be kept at hand The ,
risk is to great for anyone to take. 1
Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Dia
rrhoea Remedy has undonbtely saved
the lives of more people and relieved'
more pain and suffering than any other
medicine in use It can always be de
pended upon. For sale by Paules «V Co.
