MONTOUR AMERICAN FRANK C. ANGLE. Proprietor. Danville, Pa.. Nov 12 1903. MRS KREBS 15 STILL LIVING Condition Unchanged May Mean Hopes for Recovery. The condition of Mr*. Krebs, at the hospital,remains unchanged and she is making a game struggle in her battle for life. Her condition remaining un changed may mean some hope for her recovery unless serious complications should develop when the end would be but a matter of hours or perhaps min utes. Hito is still in his cell at the North umberland county prison and claims that he is in no condition to be taken to Northumberalnd, to have Ins hear ing before Justice of the Peace Fertig. If the attending physicians say that Hite is too sick to be takeu to North umberland Justice Fertig will either continue the hearing 01 may decide to Kummou the witnesses in the case anil have the hearing at the jail. While the physicians stated Wednesday after noon that Hito was a sick man they would not say that they thought him too ill to be taken to Northumberland. Before the time arrives togo it will theu be decided whether lie it* able to go through the ordeal at the justice's office. Hite had a number of callers at the jail Wednesday, and to some he seem ed free to talk about everything ex cept his crime while to others he was somewhat iudltferent. A man claiming to be from Harrisburg called at the jail and when Hito was told who wanted to see him he said they should tell his caller that he did not want to see him. His wife is constant in her devotion to him in his hour ot distress and is untiring in her efforts to help him in his hour of trouble. Several of those who visited Hite Wednesday expresed their opinion that although they believed Hite is sick they think that lie has entirely lost his nerve and that he is playing for time desiring to delay his hearing as long as possible- There is a different story curront in Bloonisburg,where Hite regularly vis ited, from that usually accepted in re gard to Hite's alleged infatuation for Mrs. Krebs. This as told Tuesday by a man who has been closely associated with Hite in his business transactions in thisfcounty during last year or more is to the effect that he had spurn ed Mrs. Krebs and uot she him. This man as the story goes is in a position to know if auy one is, and he stated positively that Hite had tired of pay ing attention to Mrs. Krebs and was seeking to break off tho attachment that had sprung up. Hite told him that he had told the woman that he never wanted to see her face again. He told him positively that he desired to see no more of her. From all the circumstances now learned of the case Hite was evidently telling his supposed confiding friend a falsehood. The same gentleman remarked that he has noticed that Hite was uot him self for the last mouth and tho train of events that have occurred in Blooms bura well substantiate the storv that during the last tew weeks his career has been a fast one. An illustration of the manner of his living is afforded by his action in busi ness affairs. The day after the clos ing of the Bloonisburg fair he held a sale at the fair grounds and as the sale was closing, before he bad receiv ed or arranged for the payment of sev eral thousand dollars due him, he had a horse and carriage ixi waiting to drive liim to the D. L. & VV. train, having but a few minutes to catch the four o'clock train. An employe then chided him (or not looking after hi* business affairs more cart-fully and he remarked the latter could effect the settlement with the buyers, and with out having auy account of the receipts of the sale hastened away to meet some persou. This is but one illustra tion of a number of acts of business carelessness of which he has been guilty. An employe of his who lias been in Bloomsburg since tlie fair,and who was sent for to come to Sun bury Monday, telephoned to Bloomsburg Tuesday that Hite had told him that he had not shot the woman and that he had made no confession of having dorm so. It is the belief of many that the cor rect story of the shooting and the cir cumstances and occurrences leading up to it have not been made known many of the details having been suppressed of which the public are not aware.— Hunhury Item.

LANCASTER, Pa., Nov. II .lames Wilsou, colored, escaped from an iron clad cell in the county jail last night. Ho removed the iron frame of hi,- < ell window, and one of a row ot spikes 011 the outer side and an irou ventilat or. This gave him an opening ot not over six by eighteen inches. He scap ed himself thoroughly, and after get ting through reached the roof by the aid of a lightning rod, and the top of the wall by climbing up the rain spout. He then used an improvised rope to lower himself to the ground. He is a desperate burglar and was recently captured in a cave near duke's Hock, where he had a large amount of plunder. He was awaiting tiialat the next term of court. • Y. M. 0. A. Noteß. The remarkable adaptability of the Young Men's Christian Association educational work is illustrated bv the readiness with which new courses are furnished in special subjects as these are demanded by the public; foi inst auce, in Boston a fully equipped school in the running; construction anil design of automobiles has just been opened. In the West Side As sociation, New York City, a very sm - cessful course in the subject of interior decoration has been started \sith a large enrollment. At North Adams, Mass., a center of weaving, courses of construction are now given in textile engineering, together with a series of practical talks by men competent in these lines. The railroad Associations generally are furnishing their men with special instruction along the line of their business. Classes in air brakes, steam and electrical lighting for tail road cars and similar subjects, arc he iug taught. Another way in which the Associa tion is attempting to adapt itself to certain large groups of men who could not well be brought within the classes, is by giving series of lectures and practical talks on topics which are more or less educational in their nature; for instance, at Chicago there such a course is now in progress, in eluding such subjects as "Simplicity the Genius ol' Invention," "Anat omy," and " Physiology and tie Blood." At Klmira, N. V., a Prac tical Talk Club has hi ., on " American Ideals," was de-ply in teresting. Other subjects planned ar> "The Atmosphere," "Life lii-ui ance" and "Oceanic Cable-," ev. In Hartford, an illustrated talk was n cently given 011 the coming World - Fair at St. Louis. This will probably result in the formation of a World's Fair Club. In these lectures, talks, elubs, and special classes, the Association i reaching many men who would not think of taking courses in the o'dinarv subjects taught in our evening lm-i ness colleges or high schools, and thu is doing a large educational work peculiar to itself. The classes at Dayton, Ohio, recent ly opened under the most auspicious oircumstances, the building being packed from top to bottom with vounu men eager to pay their fee- and be en rolled in the classes and fearful that these would be filled up before th ir applications would be made. Men sat on benches, on tallies, or on window sills, or stood by the hour, while the Instructors were trying to give tin ir firnt lessons and to plan tin* work to the best advantage. The mechanic »1 drawing class opened up with nearly twice as many men as there was ac commodation for, and will probably reach an enrollment of 17-~>. Th machine-shop practice classes are fill ed, and the waiting 1 i>t is almost as large as the enrollment.

Half ashamed, the doctor got up and looked from the window. Mrs. Uyers had gone. On the back steps, with her elbows on her knees, Jauo rested her delicate face on her palms. Although the whole sweep of his life was away from women, the doctor felt Borry for Jane—poor Jane—white, shrinking, Infolded as n lily bud. When her head went down and she began to s«b he slipped away. In his early days there had been a little girl. When she died that door of his life was softly closed. In the quiet of his workroom he tried to absorb himself in the latest scientific discovery, but in vain. Jane's pathetic face peered out of every page. At last he frowned heavily Into the hall. Jane, coming on flying feet, stopped short at sight of the frown. Then she summoned her courage and with it an April shower of words: "Would you, since you're so ol—since you are going away tomorrow—oh, I don't know how I dare! I'll never take advantage. She's putting nothing against thirty, and It's awfully uncom fortable.

Wonderful things telephones! The doctor hung up the re ceiver of his well satisfied. lie was going to show Jane Ityers that he hadn't stepped out of a page of Plu tarch, as she seemed to think. At 4 o'clock Mrs. Ityers went to a missionary meeting; at 5 o'clock the doctor, with his arms filled with llow ers and candy boxes, pushed by the very excited "help" and into the Ityers hall. He sent Jane a note that ran: "An unoriginal and engaged man— you see this by the flowers -I ask you In the name of humanity to come quickly and relieve the strain on the Weavertown eyes." Shyly conscious and wearing his roses, Jane came. The doctor handed her to the high seat of the cart, climbed up beside her, tho groom stepped back from the horses' heads, and they swept down the long white road. Jane tilted her chin and looked at him shy eyed. Lily buds unfold when wooed by the sun. They drove straight toward the great hills, and the wind, sweet with the gathered sweets of the day's Journey, blew In their faces. The doctor smoked, catching a light from the flame of a match held In the hollow of his hand. The smoke blew In Jane's face, and she sniffed it with solemn Joy. As they climbed the hill to Weaver town an enormous blood red moon wa vered on Craggy's violet crest and stared at them. The doctor stared back. He was growing sentimental, and he knew It. "Jane," he said Jane started. "Jane." "Don't," said the girl unsteadily. "It's--it's a dear moon, I know. It makes old gentlemen and young lassies a bit mad." "I er"— floundered the doctor. His tongue hadn't fashioned sweet speeches in so long. The horses stopped. From some where the groom sprang to their heads. "I—er"— said the doctor. "Good night," said Jane, breathless, "goodby." She whirled up the walk. Winter passed, and spring lay 011 the wide, wonderful mountains In a glory of light and color. From somewhere in its sweet wet hush the lirst notes of a hidden thrush floated. The doctor slipped into his old quar ters quietly. Half unconsciously ii«, awaited Jane. Presently he saw her under a blooming cherry tree. A broad shouldered youth, not the kind a girl Jumps away from, was with her. In the days that followed the doctor thought of Jane, but not as mi infolded lily. J a IK' bad become the fashion Her very speeches rippled from end to end of the village.

Jane heard. Hut they drifted to him, young I Hood's angry astonishment and Jane's penitence. "I didn't mean to hurt you"—the wo man'-- old cry "I never meant It to come to this." Jane seemed such a mournful little white heap all alone under the cherry tree that the doctor went over. "Jane," he said, "I want something." "The little girl who died?" asked Jane, with a show of sympathy she didn't feel. "The little girl who lives," said the doctor mournfully. Jane stared at him wild eyed. Sud denly she laughed Joyously. "You're an Incomprehensible young person!" sighed the doctor. Again Jane laughed. Then she drew him down and took his face between lier slim, pink palms. Not lla*tnp*n.

While in I'.ristnl he learned, one day in that one of his converts, Thomas Maxfield, had been preaching before the Foundery society, lie hur ried up to London to stop it. TUit his mother, who since the death of her husband had been living in a room of tho Foundery building, mot him with a protest, "John, take care what you do with reference to that younn man, for he is as surely called to preach as you are." Admonished by this coun sel from one whose caution on all churchly matters he knew to be quite equal to his own, Wesley reluctantly consented to hear Maxfield preach. After listening, he exclaimed: "It Is the Lord's doing. Let him
