WHIRLED TO DEATH
IN FLY WHEEL
Yesterday morning at the paper mill
of the Stillwater Manufacturing Com
pany, at Stillwater.Columbia county,
isaao Girton, sixty-five years old, an
employe of the concern,stopped against
the big fly wheel and was almost in
stantly hurled into eternity.
The unfortunate victim, who was
employed as a beater at the place, was,
owiug to the work in his peculiar line
being slack, doing some other duty,
and thus had occasion togo to the
engine room, and there being no per
son in the power room.it is not known
definitely what caused him to come in
contact with the big wheel that caus
ed his sudden and sad taking off.
He was found lying on the floor of
the engine room by Harry Berlin and
Charles Wesley, about twenty minutes
after he had left the other department
of the mill, but life was then already
extinct, death having evidently been
instaut.
The general opinion seems to be
that the dead man carelessly or thought
lessly stepped against the tly wheel,
which is a ponderous affair, and was
hurled through the opening in the
floor with terrific force, around and
out the other side,and onto the engine
floor again
When picked up the body presented
a sickening sight, bleeding and crush
ed in almost unrecognizable shape,
with the clothing in shreds and with
life already blotted out.
The remains were carefully carried
to his home in Paperdale, close to the
scene of the accident.

"The Orange and Purple.
The "Orange and Purple," the neat
magazine published in the interests ot
the Danville High School, has now
completed its first yeai of eight num
bers. The last issue, "Commencement
Number," which is just out, contains
the orations delivered and the papers
read at the graduating exercises of the
class of 'O3 and hence possesses a pe
culiar interest which will insure the
preservation of many copies as highly
prized mementos of school days.
Financially the publication during
the first year ot its existence has held
its own. It has demonstrated the fact
that among the pupils of the high
school Danville has a number of very
clever young people, who not only
kuow how to conduct a business en
terprise but also can write, and write
charmingly,a fact attested by the fav
orable verdict of those who read
"Orange and Purple" in Danville and
by the flattering criticism made by
various publications ou the exchange
list.
A Remarkable Baboon.
A most wonderful act is the one ex
ploited by "Devilo" a largo South
American baboon, who is one of the
stellar features with Welsh Brothers'
circus. " DeviloV' performance is a
novel one and will be especially at
tractive to ladies and children. The
Uoo-the-loop is oin> of the few sensa
tional performances that has failed to
find an abundance of courageous ath
letes anxious to earn a good big salary
by taking a turn through the tortuous
circle. "Diavolo" the man with the
Forepaugh-Sells circus,is the only per
son yet found who is willing to risk
his neck in making the lightning like
run. "Devilo" the South American
monkey, is the only rival of the star
looper, and will present this thrilling
feat afternoon and evening during the
visit of the Welsh Brothers' Groat
Shows here ou Monday , July (sth A
mammoth free street parade will take
place at 10 a in., rain or shine.
This mouth we have five phases of
the moon, one more than is ordinarily
the case They began yesterday with
the phase of the first quarter at I :0 - J
o'clock In the afternoon,and end ou the
last day of the month by repeating this
performance. On the iith is the glo
rious full moon, followed on the 17th
by a last quartering, while July's own
new moon does not come to us until the
34th. Mars begins the series of con
junctions in which the moon and
planets are interested by being occult
fed by our satellite on the Ist, the two
appearing as though they touched each
other Ou the 30th, these two heaven
ly bodies will be again in conjunction
but this time with far greater space be
tween them than ou the first mention

quadrature, or half way between op
position and conjunction with the

FELL DOWN
A CHUTE
Alexander Krowskie, a miner em
ployed at the Peusylvauia colliery at
Shamokin, fell down a chute a (lis
tance of over two hundred feet Tues
day evening, sustaining frightful in
juries, yet still lives.
Krowskie, with several other men,
was working in abreast near the main
gangway and while drilling in the
rock preparatory to blasting, made a
misstep backward, falling down the
chute. The distance be fell was over
two hundred feet and his head struck
a large sharp pointed rock, splitting
the front part of his skull as clean as
if it had been done with an axe or
some other broad-bladed instrument
The scalp was torn from the skull from
the forehead to the ears and lie sus
tamed other injuries that are of such
a serious nature to alone produce
death.
When the woikmeu reached the in
jured man he was still alive and con
scious. lie spoke to the men and re
quested that be be removed to his
home and not to the hospital. At noon
yesterday he was still resting fairly
well The doctors say that he may re
cover, but if he does it will be a
miracle.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady

It used to be considered that only urinary

COLONKL CLEMENT.
M. 11. TAGGAKT, Adjutant,
The ten thousand State Militiamen
of Pennsylvania have such a constitu
ency of friends in the various com
munities from which they come, that
their Annual Encampments are always
patronized by a large number of visit
ors from all sections of tin* State.
When a stranger first visits the Camp,
his interest is immediately attracted
by a large tent which overshadows
everything else on the field. lie soon
learns that this tent is the Camp
Young Men's Christian Association
provided by the State Committee of
the Association. A visit to the tent
reveals almost a model Association.
There are the daily papers from the
home towns of the Guardsmen, the
tables provided with stationery, pens
and ink, post office accommodations, a
variety of games such as are found in
the home Association—chess,checkers,
crokinole, etc., together with a few
out door games- base ball.quoits,organ
or piano and song books, ice water,
etc. Each evening a gospel service is
held in the tent, conducted by one of
the Secretaries in charge and always
participated in by the guardsmen.This
entire outfit is provided by the Young
Men's Christian Association free of
charge to the Soldiery. That the men
appreciate the privileges provided is
evidenced fiom the fact that last sum
mer at the Gettysburg Division En
campment more than 17,000 visits were
made to the tents, 111,000 letters were
writteu, and!?, 000 attended the gospel
services. About fifty men expressed
their purpose to live the Christian
life. Those tents stand in the camp as
constant reminders of the Christian
faith, and its readiness to minister to
and develop what is best in men ir
respective of race, creed or condition;
as a rallying place for the Christian
men, and a foil from temptation to
many who would sutely bo led into
more injurious pastimes. Officers and
men, from the Commander in-chief to
the private, have united in the heart
iest commendation of the work done.
The cost of the work which is ap
proximately $1500.00 is provided entire
ly by gratuitous contributions. Read
ITS NF this paper who appreciate the
work being done lor the Guardsmen
and who would like to assist in its
conduct, can do so by sending con

'J'MOS O VINCENT, Scribe.
Frote nnd Poctff,
Despite th« noble work done by mew
no various as Buskin and Stevenson,
Pater and Newman, one feels that the
full glory of prose, as a medium for
beauty, was not realized by them is
not yet realized save by a few. Prose
Is nut yet written as frankly for its
own sake us poetry. It ought to be.
Of course I do not mean that it ought
not to be continued as a vehicle for
every kind of didactic purpose. But It
ought also to be used by those who
could well use it so for the expression
of merely lyrical feeling. *
In modern English prose there are, it
Is true, many lyrical passages, but they
are always sandwiched apologetically
J In the midst of exjiosltory writing. The
only separate prose lyrics that I can re-
I call written In English are translations
from another language, such as Mr. An
drew Lang's translation from Theocri
tus. I recommend that dear little book
as an Incentive to young writers of
prose. It will embolden tlieni to be
merely lyrical, thus hastening the day
when writers of prose shall be as spe
cltlc and distinct a class as poets are
now.—London Academy.
Courteftiea of War.
The singular and perhaps unique
spectacle of an army maintaining itself
in the held upon provisions acquired
from the opposing force, richer In sup
plies, was witnessed during the chival
rous and long protracted struggles
(14N1 ;»2) which led to the destruction
of the Moslem kingdom of Granadu in
Spain and the llnul expulsion of the
Moors from that country.
From the second year of this war
30,000 foragers were reserved by the
Spanish sovereigns, Ferdinand and Isa
bella, for the special service of devas
tation. These men destroyed the Moor
ish farms in Granada, with all crops,
granaries, mills, vines ami olive gar
dens, for a space of more than two
leagues on either side of the line of
i march, while in the Mediterranean a
I Spanish fleet was maintained to cut off
j all supplies destined for the Moors
from the Barbary coast.
So extreme was the scarcity occa
sioned by these operations that the
famished Moors were glad to exchange
1 their Christian captives, of whom thou
j sands fell to their troops in the war,
for supplies of provisions from their
' foes. It was not until it threatened to
be a hindrance to ultimate success that
this strange system of exchange wus
stopped by the Christians. —Loudon An

Tb<* Old Astronomy.
One of the Hesiodic poems, "The
Works aiul Days," composed, perhaps, j
H century and a halt' later than the
Homeric, gives precept upon precept to
farmer and mariner and teaches them ;
how to observe the seasons at a period
when almanacs were as yet unknown:
"When the Pleiades, daughters of At
las, rise, begin your harvest; when i
they set, your plowing. When after
the winter solstice Zeus has fultllled \
sixty days of winter (then It is that
A returns, having left the sacred stream !
of Ocean, rises in the twilight brightly
beaming), prune your vines. When
Kirius parches head and knees and the j
body is dried up b3 T reason of heat, j
then sit in the shade and drink. When :
Orion and Kirius have reached mid
heaven and rosy lingered dawn be
holds Arcturns, then gather and carry
home your grape clusters. When, Hy
ing tho impetuous might of Orion, the
Pleiades sink into the misty deep, then
range blasts of wind, haul ashore your
ship and cover her around with stones." 1
The mention of the solstice here and
elsewhere in the poem implies careful j
astronomical observation. Arcturus,
"the bear keeper," is a bright star in j
the constellation Hootes.

Lord Pahnerstoii died at his |m>j»l two
days before he was eighty one, his lac

strength little affected by bis advanced

his death he saw the old statesman

that he was alone, then climb our the

The DfiMt %'nlNfiu«*«» In K IIKIUIHI
Omit hopes arc being raised, says
the London World, liy some recent ex
pcriim-nts concerning the curt* <>f the
• lust nuisance. Alrca«l.\ iu America
and in the neighborhood of I'aris pro
longed trials have been made of crude
petroleum Instead of water for sprin
kling country roads the effect, after
sutlieieiit and careful application, be
ing to consolidate and hind the surface.
In tiiis country sonic tests of a similar
nature are about to lie undertaken,
and an even more promising scheme
has been proposed by the surveyor of
the county of Nottingham. He lias
found that by saturating furnace slay
Willi gas tar before it is rolled Into the
road the surface so formed is water
proof and dust proof and much more
durable. It ther* fore seems most like
ly that a cheaper as well as a better
road will be made from slag thus
treated than from the crude material.
Some cure must !»• found for the In
creasintr evil, as the cloud of dust
which arises behind even a moderately
driven motor car is defiling to every
user of the road and a menace to
health and safety.
A Good Man.
A number of years ago suit *«i
brought against the cashier of tha
State Bank of lowa Falls to recover
an alleged deposit, which deposit the
bank denied, according to 11 story in
tbe <Jreen Hag. During the trial ut
Eidora the defendant's attorney made
a very convincing argument for his
client and took pains to tell the Jury
of his client's high social and religious
standing and of the confidence of tbe
people which he enjoyed and en
deavored to impress upon the minds of
the Jury that the defendant was not
the kind of a man to make a mistake
in the bundling of other people's mon
ey. T. II Miiner, a witty as well as a
very shrewd lawyer, represented the
other side and in addressing the Jury
said:
"< lentlemen, I heartily concur in
what my brother has said of the de
fendant 1 agree with him in each
and every statement that he has made
pertaining to Mr. 's good self, but
1 would have you consider deeply this
one fact —Canada Is full of just such
men."

ceptibility of the editorial heart are
somewhat exaggerated. She has l»ecu
deeply impressed of late by the erratic
movements of a mature friend who
prepares manuscript for new si>a[>ers
and so has come to Im* something of a
writer herself. Over page after page
she scrawls undecipherable sentences
in her unsteady, primary department
hand, and when the stories are tin
ished she submits theui In i«ejr->i»n to
an imaginary editor whom sjie has
dubbed "Mr. Hunting."
One day last week she told her friend
that she had written a new story.
"What is It altout?" asked the friend
"Oh," was the reply, "I can't tell. It
Is too sad to talk about."
The friend asked no further ques
tions. and presently Vera volunteered
additional information. "I took it
downtown and showed it to Mr Hunt
ing today," she -aid.
"Yes?" said her friend. "What did
he say about it V"
"He didn't say anything." was tin;
reply, "but he just cried as if his heart
