REVIEW OF
SEASON'S WEEK
The gymnasium classes at the \
M. C. A. have been discontinued for
the summer months. The results
gained by the season's work cannot be
estimated ; but these are some ot the
good things enjoyed by the members
of the various classes, since taking
systematic exercise : Better health,
better nerves, bettor all-rpound livsi
lungs, and greater chest development
which is of most inestimable value.
The best evidence of all -round work
Is the tact, that quite a number of our
prominent business men have availed
themselves of the opportunities afford
ed them for physical development and
have been very much benefitted by
the instruction they have received i u
the Gymnasium the past season The
members of all the classes are very
snthnsiastic and anxious for the ro
tnnTseason, which will, from all in
dications, prove the greatest season
for Gymnasium work and phvsical
development Danville has ever seen.
The business men's class has formed
a base .ball team, and derives much
benefit aud pleasure by playing the
popular national game. A Junior V
M.O A. base ball team is a possibil
ity tor next summer, as the hoys have
been practicing faithfully and do well
in the various positions ou the team.
It is under contemplation at present
to increase the bathing facilities.
This means more pleasure, comfort
and satisfaction for the nominal sum
of money invested in a membership
ticket, which gives the citizens of
Danville all these privileges for #5 a
year
if the public IU general would prop
erly appreciate the work of the Asso
ciation, the demand would far ■ xceed
the supply, or, in other words, the
building wonld be inadequate for the
comfort of the numbers who would
take advantage ot these excellent op
portunities for their comfort and im
provement. The privileges of mem
bership consists of reading room, par
lor, social receptions, practical talks,
amusements, bath (shower and tub),
hot aud cold, gymnasium with in
structor who is always ready to give
advice aud instruction to those who
take the physical course and are in
terested in their own physical welfare
The Y. M. C. A. with all its privileges
shoold appeal to every man in Dan
ville. *#*
Rented a Pump.
The centrifugal pump at the water
works, not in use at present, has been
rented to the B B S. Railroad com
pany of Columbia County, who will
use it to pnmp water out of the found
ation of a bridge they are building
over the Fishing creek between Mord
aonville aud Light Street. It will be
removed from the water works toilav.
Will Remove From Danville.
The Polish-Lithuanian Brewing Co.
of Danville has been acquired by
Wilkesbarre, Scranton and Nanticoke
stockholders, and Philip H. Coyne of
Scranton, Joseph Ryscavage aud John
Gonski of Nanticoke are making the
preliminary arraugemnnts tor the loca
tion of the new brewery in Hanover
township just outside of Wilkesbarre,
and it will be one of the biggest in
this section. There will b<j a large mod
ern brewery structure, ice plant, malt
house aud stables. The plant will
have a capacity of 200, into barrels of
beer,porter and ale a year. The brew
ery is at present located in Danville,
but as much of the trade is iu this sec
tion it was decided to remove as
above. Mr Coyne has disposed of his
hotel business in Scrauton, the Coyne

tion to this new enterprise. Hazleton

Nervous Headaches
Breeds Insanity.
Many a person's whole pleasure in
life is ruined by the fear of nervous
; headaches. Any little excitement, no
matter what, business or social, briugs
them on. The fe£t aud hands grow
cold, the head is hot, the eyes are stiff,
the temples throb, and only in the quiet
of a darkened room is relief obtained.
This condition ninst be checked or it
means complete mental ruin To those
people Dr. A W. Chase's Nerve I'ills
comes as a blessing. They do not stop,
they cure the headache. They do not
blanket, they build up. They put the
nervous system in a strong, vigorous
sturdy condition—a condition that gives
one resistive power and enables them
to again enjoy life's pleasure.s
Mr. Jacob Mills of Cor. Front &
Church streets., Danville, Pa . says:
"Last fall I was feeling very badly run
down and nervoiisnes. I had frequent
| spells of nervous headaches and good
deal of trouble with my stomach. See
j ing Dr. A. W. (.'base's Nerve Pills re
i commended 1 itot alu xat (josh's Drug
I Store and used them with the best re
i suits. 1 rested well again and feel
! strong and bright digestion is good
; and the headaches a thing of the dast.
j They certainly did me good and I can
' highly recommend them.

More Dough, Less Berry.
"Red, ripe strawbeiries cents a
box!" There will Iu: less of this
hucksters' delightful musical yelling
this season than ever before. according
to rumors that come from patches
around this section of Pennsylvania
nowadays. Those who have complain
ed of tho noise made by the vender of
the red berry may miss Ins sr.ng to
their sorrow this year, and the tooth
some morsel,the strawberry shortcake,
which ever delights the taste of the
epicure, will have to be served on the
stingy plan of more dough and less
fruit.
Out of the many acres of berries that
are planted in Montour county there
will be about one-fifth ot a crop and
then the size of these compared with
the crops of former years, when rain
was plenty, will be as walnuts are to
potatoes.
From Snyder county, another large
strawberry growing district, comes
the same discouraging reports. A
statement from a prominent farmer
in the heart of the district is to the
effect that out of ten acres lie has
planted will not yield more than the
same crop he secured from a two acre
plot last year. The same condition
exists all over the strawberry districts.
The farmers do not expect to ship at
the most more than one-fourth of the
crops that they have in former years
and the quality of the berry will be
much lower.
The thrifty housewives of Danville
will eye this statement with dismay,
as the strawberry is tho acme of per
fection as a jellv maker and is eagerly
sought for iu preparing the next win
ter's supply of good things to eat. But
still there is a fighting chance and a
more hopeful view mav be taken of
the strawberry situation.
Mr- Joseph Poininville, of Stillwater,
Minn , after having spent over $2,000
with the best doctors for stomach trauble
without relief, was advised by his
druggist, Mr. Alex. Richard, to try
a box of Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets He did so, and is a well
man today, If troubled with indigestion,
bad taste in the mouth, lack of appetite
or constipation, give these Tablets a
trial, and you are certain to be more
than pleased with the results. For sale

Recent experiments, by practical tests
and examination with the aid of the

FIRST GAME
BRINGS VICTORY
The b;»s<j bal 1 season lias opened iu '
Danville tho first game brought
victory to tho local team Nothing
could have been more auspicious. ;
There was a good crowd present, the
weather conditions wore ideal and the i
victory was won on such a wide marg- !
iu as to demonstrate that the l)an- j
ville players have lost none of their
old tinin prowess and that the clubs
which come up against them during
the season must reckon on a hard pro
pi isition.
The opposing team was Sunbury i
Danville went to the hat first uud the
game opened by a clear hit. hy Grim
inger. Among the striking features
was Epler's catch of Ross' long drive
to deep left (ield. Epler was a sur
prise . Nobody thought he would be
ahle to get under the hall but he ac
complished it by a hard run The ap
plause lasted live minutes Another
feature was the third haw playing of
Grubb and the catching of Teufel.
The latter's slick work was much ad-
mired.
The boys of the home team all play- |
ed good ball, which can only be ex- :
pressed in the superlative degree, a
fact proven by the error column, which
presents a lino ot blanks.
Sunbury's overwelming defeat is at
tributable to its loose fielding and tho
fine stick work of Danville. Griuiiug
er's work at short as well as his batting
was a feature. He stood in with the
crowd from the start and his playing
was admired by eveiyone. The visit
ing team accepted defeat gracefully
and its gentlemanly conduct was much
commented upon.
fc'oulk's umpiring w is perfectly sat
isfactory to both teams. The audience,
among which was a Urge proportion
ot ladies, was full of enthusiasm,
which found expression in frequent
and prolonged applause. The order was
peifect, Interest now centers on the
next game which will take place be
tween Danville and Plymouth on
Memorial Day. The score:

HEADLONG
FROM A HOOF
Prank Reefer, a tinsmith employed
by John tlixson, took it headlong
plunge Irom a root Sat unlay altei'iioon
and toll a distance of about twenty
feet without sustaining serious injury.
Ho was assisting to place a tin roof
on ono of the dwellings on Upper Mul
berry street, lb- was in the act of
measuring the length of the root,stand
ing in the trough with his face lean
ing out over the eaves. He had just
measured otl the length of the foot
rule and with his bark to the roof took
anothei step along the trough. This
brought him hack to back with anoth
er workman. Unconsciousot the prox
imity he was in the act of stooping
down to apply the rule when his body
struck the other man. The result of
the contact was such as to throw hiui
otl' his balance, causing him to fall
headlong over the eaves
Acting upon instinct as he went
over lie grasped at the trough hut
could not get a tirm hold,only succeed
| ing in swinging his body round so that
) lie fell feet downward.
When still several feet from the
■ ground his foot struck the floor,which
threw him into such a position that
! lie was aide to clutch the rung of a
ladder standing against the house. He
thus succeeded [in breaking his fall
j and probably saved Ins life.
Miraculously enough Mr. Reefer
; escaped with slight injuries in the
j form of bruises and abrasions confined
to his aims below the elbow. He was
I able to continue working.

A passenger on the car took his hat
and pushed the wire from her face,
and himself received a shock.

Protecting the Birds,
By an agreement between tln' Milli
nerv Merchants' Protective association
of New York and the Audiboii society
of that state certain species or' biids
are to he withdrawn from tln> milli
nery trade. They comprise the gulls,
torus, grehes, humming I• i i *I ~ and *oiig
birds which the society ami the or
nithologists' union have been striving
to save from destruction for years.
Monthly publication is to be made in
the magazine of the trade as to what
birds cannot he legally bought. The
millinery association further agiees
that after January, I'.UU, the plumage
of the egret, heron and American peli
can shall be added to the prohibited
i list. The Auilohon society on it-- part
agrees to endeavor to prevent any in
terference on the part of game \\ ual
eiis with the millinery trade, and to
refrain from securing the passage of
any legislation restricting the im
portationot fancy feathers obtained
from domesticated fowls, or of the
plumage of foreign birds cither than
those already specified.
One of the chief difficulties eiicount
ered by the society in its effort.-' to
protect the birds from the slaughter
instigated by the decrees of fashion
has been the attitude of opposition t
sumed by the dealers in millinery, who
have claimed that their trade was be
ing injured by the cru-adc against
bird ornamentation of bat* In con
! verting the trade IO a humane view of
the question the society has made a
I distinct gain, much more direct HI it*
i immediate effects than the more grad
nal process of educating and refining
feminine taste to the point w licit (lie
eyes of fair women could take more
real delight in seeing a gorgeously
plumed bird on (lie wing or perched
on the swaying branch of a tree than
on the nodding crown of her Fall hat
If women must bedeck tln-niselves HI
borrowed plumes there can be no pos
silde objection to the employment of
the feathers of domestic fowl- for such
purposes.
i Now that the millinery trade and
; the Audubon society are at one on
the subject of bird protection, there
should be au appreciable decrease in
the slaughter of the birds. I.et the
educational campaign in tie rutal dis
triets be continued with unabated
vigor, to the end that the farmer may
restrain the destrnctiveiios of In
young hopeful with a gun -ei the
farmers he informed that the decrease
of the birds means the increase of
orchard |ls. It may In possible to
restore to the woods ami field* their
feathered population, so badly dt
pleted in recent years.
