BELL'S SHORT
HAND COLLEGE
Among the institutions of Danville
which are doing an important work
aud doing it in an unostentatious way 1
there is one which should not be lost j
sight of We refer to Russell's
short hand college, which for eight
years past has been a lixture in the
third floor of the Ojiera House block.
How many jieople know that duriug
its brief history Russell's short baud
college has sent out as graduates m
typewriting aud short hand one hun
dred aud fifty ot our young men and
women, all of whom found a demand
for their Services and have been enab
led to work their way upward on a J
career of usefulness.
Professor Russell receives some very
valuable testimonies but there is ;
none which he esteems more highly
than a tribute paid to his college by
Mr P. H Burns, Manager of the
Smith Premier Tyjiewriting Company,
during a recent visit to this city. Mr.
Burns assured Mr. Russell that the
most rapid and accurate stenographers
whom bis company places in positions
oome from Russell's short hand col
lege.
The reason for this undoubtedly lies
in the absence of all class work in
Mr. Russell's institution A visit to
the college yesterday found the pro
fessor engaged in purely personal and
private instruction seated by the side
of the students. Such he claims is
tbe ouly effective method of teaching
short hand and typewriting.
Last year out of a patronage ot thir
ty two pupils not one failed to secure
a position in the large cities at salar
ies rangiug trom four huudred to sev
en hundred dollars per annum. The
demand fot graduates in short hand
and typewriting at present is some
thing remarkable. Tbe applications
come through the type writing com
panies and there are several vacan
cies awaiting every graduate. Pro
fessor Russell yesterday produced a
collection of letters all of recent date
in which he was informed by agencies
where vacancies exist, the tiruis being
responsible, old established concerns.
The secret of the many vacancies lies
iu the fact that a position as stenog
rapher and typewriter is sure to bring
out iu an ambitious young man or
woman all their talents aud the qual
ities in general which tit them for a
career of business with the result that
iu a short time they are pretty sure to
be promoted to a higher and more re
sponsible position. Typewriting and
stenography therefore become a step
ping stone.
Graham's system of shorthand is
employed by Professor Russell, which
he states, is the only system recogniz
ed by the commercial world as accur
ate and rapid.
Everything is Scarce.
Tbe weatliei this summer has been
such that the supply of fruits and
vegetables that are usually so plentiful
in this section i* a very scant one.
Housewives, who iu winter depend
much on the rows and rows of canned
fruit laid away during the summer
aud fall months, are wondering what
they are going to do this winter for
the scarcity of all sorts of fruit ren
ders it not only expensive but almost
Impossible to lay in any large supply.
The scarcity of cherries this summer
presaged the scarcity of all other
fruits, and now with the days of the
peach and the pear we find the local
curbstone market with a very thin
sprinkling of them and the prices
make one wonder whether the fruit
comes fiom Florida or California
An Automatic Hose Couple.
Leopold Dieifuss has perfected an
tuveiitiou which promises to he a very
good thing. This is an automatic
hose coupling to be used alike for oou
uvctmgtwo sections of hose or for
makiug connection between the hose
aud the plug.
Mr Dreifuss worked about a yeai
on the invention aud has it well pro
tected by patent Currv K Vannau
have just completed a fine working
model of brass,for the inventor,which
was given a fair test at the works yes
terday with very satisfactory results.
The connection was made in the frac
tion of a second, the coupling proving
perfectly water tight
The coupling, which iu a general
way uiav be said to be a double sleeve,
one fitting into the other anil secured
by a spring is exceedingly simple in
construction and would seem not like
ly to get out of order. It can not help
but prove a great time saver in con
necting hose during a fire, an occas
ion when time proves very valuable.

DENOUNCED AS A
000 US BISHOP
The amazing recoid of a former
Russian scldier and priest, who styles
himself Bishop Seiaphin and who re
cently with Prof Haozinski held ser
vices at. Shamokiu, was revealed last
week by Russian Consul General Do
Lodygensky, at New York It. is
one of the most remarkable exposures
ever made in this country, says the
New York American. Its author, for
a year, has successfully represented
himself as Seraphin, bishop of holy
ordination anil Metropolitan of Amer
ica by special appointment of the Rus
sian Holy Synod.
His travels iu the United States and
Canada for twelve months have been
dotted with 86 illegal marriages per
formed, 314 profane baptisms and #l2, -
000 collected by himself and priests of
his consecration for building a monas
tery in New York to be the centre of
the Russian Orthodox Church in
America
Steps are being|[takeii by the||Rus
sian Embassy at Washington to have
the bogus Metropolitan arrested and
extradited to St. Petersburg to stand
trial before the Russian Holy Synod.
According to Consul DeLodygens
ky the spurious prelate has been loca
ted in Pennsylvania, near Shamokiu,
aud his arrest will be made as soon as
necessary legal steps can be taken be
tween the State Department and the
Russian Embassy.
When It is known that bogus Bishop
Seraphin—or Stephen Ustvolsky—has
himself performed tliiity six ceremo
nies. It is not kuown how many have
been solemnised by the thirty one
priests he ordaiued in this country and
Canada
Ouly by chanoe was the disoovery
made a few days ago ot the amazing
fraud perpetrated upon the Russian
Orthodox Church in this hemisphere.
Ustolsky arrived iu Youkers four
months ago, beariug papers alleged to
have been signed by members of the
Holy Synod iu St. Petersburg appoint
ing him Metropolitan of America.
This new styled bishop was in Sha
mokiu last week and later left tor
Miuersville where he met complete
failure in organizing a mission. The
last heard of the uiau was on Tuesday
when he was iu Reading.
Two weeks ago Michael Bacynski, a
former chorister in the Shamokiu Rus
sian church, was ordained into the
"ministry" iu New York City by the
bogus bishop. Seraphin about two
weeks ago uuited in marriage in New
York City, a Shamokiu couple, Mich
ael Byozyuski and Miss Tessie, the
sixteen years old daughter of Mrs.
Mary Luczkovac, who couducts a sa
loon *t No 717 East Independence
street.
According to the above statement of
the Russian Consul General all per
«ons ordained by "Soraphiii"are to he
considered as impostors and all wed
dings ami religious acts are void and
without legal power.

that the matter had been thoroughly
investigated by his company and
found to be Impracticable. He said
that the company secured au option
from the owner of the canal and dam
aud that their engineers had gone over
the matter very carefully and found
that the maximum power that could
he developed was one thousand horse
power, and that during the past year
there were forty days that it could
not have been used. One thousand
horse power he said would not justify
the outlay necessary to utilize the
water power, aud the uncertainty of
floods rendered it a very impracticable
proposition.

An event very enjoyable and unique
in its way took place at DeWitt's
Park Tuesday. It waH an entertain

an interesting and successful feature
of the tournament held two weeks
ago.
The entire day was spent in the
park, dinner and supper being served.
In addition to the members ot the
Rifle ami Gun Club nearly all the
merchants of town were present for
either dinner or supper. The menu
was first class and comprised all the
delicacies which enter into a meal of
that kind.
There were two hlue rock matches,
one of the shoots taking place in the
forenoon and the other in the after
noon. During the day William Speis

to the Club the medal, known as the
Red Men's trophy, which he won sev

Thanksgiving Day, Memorial Day,
Fourth of July and Labor Day. In
the interval between the winning and
the next shoot at which it is to be
contested for the medal will be held
by the champion as a trophy of his
victory.

TO INCREASE
liHUOWIENT
Pamphlets arc being sent to the
members of Episcopal churohes
throughout the Central Pennsylvania
diocese regaiding the contribution of
money to the Episcopal endowment
fund.
At the last Diocesan convention of
the Protestant Episcopal church Hish
op Talbot drew attention to the im
peratlve need of more episcopal super
vision iu the Central Pennsylvania
diocese, and he made a veiy earnest
address, supporting bis arguments.
A portion of the address was referred
to a special committee which reported
the following:
"Resolved, That this convention,
while regretting the existence of ne
cessity for episcopal relief iu either of 1
the forms provided by the general can
on. accepts the first alternative pro
posed by the bishop, namely the div
ision of the diocese, provided sutlic
ient endowment be raised by the next
convention.
"Resolved, That a committee of
five clergymen and ten laymen bo ap
pointed to solicit subscriptions to the
Episcopal endowment fund ot the dio
cese, such subscriptions to inure to the
credit of the parishes of the respective
donors upon a division of the diocese,
and said oommittee shall report to the
next convention.
"Resolved, That this convention
pledges itself to further and assist the
committee in the iucrease of the epis
copal endowment to secure with all
dignity and promptitude that enlarge
ment ot the endowment fund which
shall render division possible."
The report of that committee was
adopted and the committee appointed
to present the cause to the members of
the church in this diocese. The com
mittee appointed hopes to lay the
matter before all of the communi
cants of the diocese, so that not alone 1
may the wealthy give of their ahuud
auce, but the willing may also con
tribute of their little. Upon the plan
adopted by the convention whatever
is contributed will inure to the credit
of the parish of the donor upon a div- 1
isioii of the diocese. In this way two
things are accomplished. The < rea
tioii of a proper fund for the dignified
support of the episcopate and thus re
lieving each palish represented iu the
fuud from the burden of assessment.
The finance committee of the diocese
said in their last report that the assess
ments are as high as they can well he
made, and it therefoie is clear that
the much-needed episcopal relief can
not be secured in any form without
the addition of at least #(10,000 to the
endowment fund,and it is tor the gath
ering of this that the present canvass
is beiug made.

in spite »f-coutradict ions.tho-i who
claim to khov>', insist then* is more
talk in the scheme to harness tin Sus
quehauna rivo to secure power for
the wholesale manufacture of electric
ity.
The company's original plan was to
locate the dam at Williamsport or in
the vicinity of Jersey Shore. A care
ful survey was made of the dam there
and negotiations were cautiously en
tered into with the representatives of
the Nohle Milling Company. While
the negotiations were in progress, the
dam at Lock Haven «ie partially ear
lied away hy a flood and there ap
peared to he no disposition on the
part of the owners to make the nec
essary repairs. With this dam go cer
tain rights above and hclow, ami, if
repairs are not made within a certain
time, such right would he forfeited.
The company delayed, waiting to see
what would he done, as it was desir
able for certain reasons to locate the
dam near Jersey Shore if it possibly
could be done, and these rights ex
tended down the river nearly to the
desired point of location. Hut, some
how, the company's plans, though
carefully guarded, became known to
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, j
and it began to repair the Lock Hav '
en dam, for it did not propose to per
mit its tracks from Lock Haven to
Suuhury to lie parallelled bv electric j
lines.
The company then considered the j
Muncy daiu, carefully surveyed it,and
made extensive calculations regarding
the amount of water power to he ob
tained, the Williamsport dam having
in the meantime pa-s*d iuto other
hands. It was at one time pretty pos
itively stated that this darn would be
secured, impioved and made the base
of the operations cont. mplated. Just
! why the companv ahan loned this dam
i is not known unless it had met with
legal obstacles which it could not eas

pany next considered the practicabil

The County Commissioners Satur

obliges them to turm-.li full informa

Attorney General's opinion, which
makes them liable to proceedings in

It. was the sense of the Board that
there is but one practical way of ob
taining the information needed and
that is by calling upoll the township
supervisors who can easily determine
the number of miles of road under
their respective jurisdiction.
Such is the method employed in
other counties in complying with tie

therefore, may expect to be called up
on during the next week or so tore

Under the act the amount to be ap

in proportion to its road mileage. It
is plain therefore that no state aid

without benefit, one box of DeWitt's
