THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE This is the day appointed by tlie President of tlie United States tor Thanksgiving and Praise to God for the mercies of the past year. Upon reflection our citizens will find that they have a lew things to bo thankful for which have not fallen to the lot of humanity in general. Storm and pestilence have passed by us. We need not go far just now to find com munities where great casualties,where lawlessness and even murder have oc curred. But nothing of the kind has darkened our town. The Union IHianksgi ving service held at Pine Street Lutheran Church at 10:80 o'clock this forenoon w»ll te j an event worthy of the day. The ser vices, including a Thanksgiving offer- j ing.will he of an elaborate nature and afford all who participate an oppor- 1 tunity to pour out their soul's grat itude to the Giver of All Good. Next in order comes the Thanksgiv ing dinner, thai time honored institu tion, which will be tlie center of many a happy family reunion. yes terday and previously many men of our town who occupy positions in dis tant places, might have been seen re turning home to spend the annual Thanksgiving under the parental roof. The visit itself will be a cause for thanksgiving in the hearts of loving parents glad for the opportunity to meet their loved ones. During tlie afternoon and evening ttiere will be various opportunities for enjoyment. Not the least of these will be afforded by the gaiue of football at DeWltt's Park between the high school team and Oatawissa. The regular Thursday dance will be held in the Armory this afternoon and those fond of torpsichorean pleasures will be on hand and join the dance. Lyman H Howe's great exhibition of moving pictures will be the Thanks giving attraction in the opera house tonight. This is a refined and chaste entertainment, instructive in its na ture and not at all out of harmony with approved Thanksgiving enjoy ments Season of Holdups and Robberies. The brutal murder of William Oleu dennin, near Jersey Shore, tlie daring iioid-up and robbery at Allenwood and at Oirardville remind OIIH that the season is hero when judging by the past such outrages are likely to occur. Why these outbreaks should occur each fall it is very hard to explain. Hut it was just about a year ago when the hold-up happened in which our townsman U. Y. James had such a narrow escape. Going back for sever al years 'it is found that each fall brings several burglaries, if nothing more daring in the line of hold-ups and robberies. The large number of hoboes moving about does not add to one's sense ot Micurity, as few of these follows are above suspicion. Danville is fortunate in having two policemen, who are able to cover the entire borough daily and to keep a close watch on suspicious characters. At the same time it de volves upon citizens to keep their doors and windows secure and not to eourt danger by carrying upon their person too many valuables if out aloue late at night. 0. E. Social.

Robert Russell, while walking be- I low the Mouth Monday after j noon picked up an immense Indian ! battleaxe, which casts into the shade | every other Indian relic found iu this locality. The curiosity was laid bare iby the recent flood. If weighs just ■ seven pounds and aside from its weight which makes it a weapon fit for a giant, it is interesting because of its finish and its graceful and well de fined shape, which leaves not the shadow of a doubt as to the nature of the implement and the purposes to which it was put. Mr. Kussell lias a collection of In dian relics, several hundred in num ber, comprising tomahawks, spear heads, arrow beads,bird arrows,drills, chisels, and skinning implements. And the remarkable pait of it all is that he has picked up the big collec tion since last June on one spot with iu a radius of lens than twenty yards. His first find consisted of several relics just unearthed lying closely together. Not a tew of the implements found bear the appearance of having passed through fire. All the circumstances are such as to lead Mr. Russell to be lieve that he has found the site of "Indiantowu," which according to tradition was situated near the Creeks mouth. The exact spot so prolific in Indian relics is about midway be tween tlie ('reeks mouth and "Lover's Leap." It was thought that the arrow heads and like implements upon which the Re l Man had expended his crude art with few exceptions had long ago be. -n picked up from that locality and the rich find alluded to is therefore all ttie more surprising. The relics, it seems, lie deep and are ieleased as the river cuts iuto the bank. It was bv following up the action of the water thut Mr. Kussell was enabled to pick up so many reminders of Indian days Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The Young Men's Christian Associu lion of Brooklyn, N. Y.,has just cele brated its fiftieth anniversary with a series of meetings, culminating in a great gathering at the Academy of Music, on Sunday evening, addressed by the veteran Dr. Cuyler, R Fulton Cutting, Esq., formerly a president of the Association, President Stryker of Hamilton College, Bishop E. G. Andrews, of New York, with Mayor Low in the chair. This meeting was much iu the form of a jubilee over the raising a jubilee fund of $425,000 for the erection of three new buildings,to co-t from $75,000 to $.'50,000 each, the paying off of the mortgages from two of the branches, and provision for the extension of the Association's many enterprises. While ft 25,000 has been raised, $200,000 more are needed. To wards the former sum John D Rocke feller gave SIOO,OOO, after his legal representative had male a thorough investigation into the management of the Association. Work is conducted at twelve centres in the city, including the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the Long Island Railroad yards, and the Brook lyn Rapid Transit Company car bams. The Association possesses six build ings valued at $1,000,000, including $150,000 endowment. The organization has 5,W00 members,over 1,000 of whom are in its evening classes. Of the 72.i men connected with the evening class es at the Central Branch on Fulton Street during the last season, all but ten were wage-earners. Nearly 5100 men are in Bible classes, and about as many mom attend the Sunday after noon service*. Over 700 attend the gymnasiums on week days. The branch for which S7S,IKK) is asked for a build ing. is at Greenpoint, and will be made a workingmen's Christian As sociation for the large number of men employed iu the manufacturing centres there < >ne of the large donors to the fund was George Foster Peabodv.who when a boy. and working on a few dollars a week iu New York City, se cured much of his education in the evening classes of the Association lie has given large sums for Association buildings at Columbus,Ga .

E. church Sunday in memory of the late Rev. Joseph R. Shaver, D. D., wan attended by a very largo con gregation. Rev. Hairy Curtin Har nmii, the pastor,pleached a very eftec tive sermon founding liin remarks up on Ephesiana, fi: '2l : "lie was a broth er beloved and a faithful minister of Jesus Christ." Hev Haiiuan began by saying that there i- no passage of scripture be tWfcn the lids of the Hihlo which more accurately ex presses his estimate of Dr. Shaver's character than the one just announced He was both a broth er beloved to all men and a faithful minister of Jesus Christ. Dr. Shaver was :t.'i years an effective minister in the Methodist Episcopal church. Dur ing those years he served 14 different chinches as pastor, the average term lof each pastorate being 2'., years. ! When he hegau his ministry the time ; limit was two years. Gradually the j limit increased to 3 yeais and then to J 5 yoais.the last general conference re -1 moving the time limit eutirely. The significant tact about Dr. Shaver's j ministry is that he remained with ; each church he served the full limit. Ins pastorate of Pine Street church, 1 Williamsport, coming under the un limited term. He ri uiained in that church for six years and could have 1 ienriiued longer had lie himself so de sired. His ministerial character was the mutual product of self acquired knowl edge, wide reading,a profound knowl edge ot men, great walth of experi ' enco and of divine grace. God only nukes preachers, calls them into the ministry and always honors their con seienfious and unselfish devotion to duty. Dr. Shaver was preeminently an . evangelistic preacher. The rceords ot t Sr Haul's church show that more peo ple were converted and joined the . church under Dr. Shaver's pastorate ! of 3 years than under any other pastor , with the exception of one. As a pasto.' he was the embodiment of the com . pletest ideal. To him the delicate and sometimes difficult work of pastoral visitation was easily and inspiringly t performed. He was always a welcome visitor in the homes of his p ople an 1 left those homes better for his having been there To him man's emotional nature was as sacredlv divine as his thought life. He was sympathetic, gentle, always. In him ge ntleness was 0 a source of superb strength. Ho knew that a gentle man is always a strong t man. He was a veteran soldier of the Civil 1 War, responding early m the incep tion of that war to his country's call Among his comrades in the army lie 1 was held in growing esteem He bad no sympathy for and but little patient e with any sentiment which lacked ap ii preeiation foi the boys in blue. Pat riotism was a constituent element strongly developed in his Christian t character. He belonged to the 17th r Pennsylvania Volunteers and with his 112 company endured the privations and H hardships involved in the national s struggle for liberty. s He was an indent Ma .oil and among v the craft of that honorable institution in this city he was greatly esteemed * I and exceedingly popular. He was 1 one of the men who mingled treelv 1 with his brethren in the work ot the lodge and in the social functions in - eldent thereto, who always maintain (| ed in the confidence of his brethren the dignity of his Christian and uiin e istwria! character. j Hii< death was as peaceful and triumphant as Ins life had been useful and helpful.

State Superin tendent N. <'. Scliatl'i r calls atteut ion in the Pennsylvania Si hool Journal for November, to two matters of im portance to school directois. Olio is a change in the law concerning the uis tribution of the State, fund for public schools and the other is the necessity of care in making the biennial and triennial returns, both of which are being prepared this year. He hays: "As this is the year HI which the triennial assessment is made from which the county commisHioneis cer tify to the department of public in struction the number ol resident tax able*, also the year in which the com missioners make the biennial return ! of the number of children between the ages of six and sixtc n lor appropria tion purposes, we desire to call atten tion to the matter and urge directors to veto it in time that their assessors ' and county commissioners make cor rect returns. This can be easily at tended to now, but it will he difficult to make corrections later on, anil neg lect may result in the loss of a portion of the appropriation. "The list of taxahles now certified to the department will be used in the distribution of the State appropriation to schools for the next three years,and the list of children between six and sixteen will lie used tor the next two years, bene- the importance of having the correct number certilied. The attention i.f schoi I di-octors is drawn to an important ' hange in the affidavit which the presi lent of each school hoard must file in the depart ment in order that his district may re ceive its share of the State appropria tion. It is a clause affirming that the provisions of the compulsory educa tion law have been complied with. This has been made necessary by the negligence and laxity of some school boards in the enforcement of a statute which wisely aims to banish illiter acy. The superintendent of public in struction is required to withhold one fourth of the appropriation from s hool districts which fail to enforce the law. The superintendents of the various counties, cities, boroughs,and townships :i |iil the seereiaris of the several s luicl districts are requested to diaw the attention of all directors to this important addition to the form of affidavit which will be sent out each year for use at the proper time. Ignor ance of law cannot be accei ted as an excuse to comply with its provisions." Not a Sick Day Since.

Neighbors of mine have been cured of Rheumatism, Neuralgia Liver and Kidney troubles and Gener al Debility." Tins is what H. F. Hass, of Fremont, N. C. writes Only 50c at Paules & Co., druggists. Wintry Weather. There are some people who merely say: "It is wintry weather," and think that is all there is to it. As ail indisputable tact in the daily record of events that is barely an atom of an i all-embracing whole. "It is wintry I weather" is not even so much as a ! hoop on the outside of a barrel of ; spoiled cider. Winter is the season of the pessimist, when all the evils of man and nature are let loose upon a hapless public; win n the gas man and the plumber and the coal man hold us up; when influenza and pneumonia and rheuma tism lay us up; when slushy streets and icy pavements break us up; when refractory furnaces and freezing pipes and the worstcoalyouoversaw Keep us up; when bad atmosphere and worse chimneys choke us up; when rain and snow and sleet and blow and freeze and thaw and frost and fog and sun and cloud do us up. It is the time when meat is high and vegetables are out of sight, and only mendicants can say truthfully that the air is bracing. It is the period when writers stretch their imagination and till with sesqui pedalian vocables intricate ly involved sentences tor the laborious elucida tion of what is plain. It is the time when nearly everybody carries catarrh inhalers or cough cures and more clothes than he feels like paying tor. And yet, as we have mentioned, there are people who think all is said when they remark that: "It is wintry weather." Why, goodness gracious, there is the fellow ,vho leaves the door open and with an air of triumphant originality asks whether it is cold enough for vou A Good Name.

Robert J. Purcell, Vice Presideut of the American Kiln and Combustion Company, who last summer was negotiating tor the prop erty and who paid down a handsome sum ot money lias failed to exercise his option, which expired on the IMth inst. The company represented, which was formerly known as the Price Tunnel Company has again undergone a change and is now known as the Perfect Com bustion Company of New York Rob ert F. Purcell is no longer a member ot the company. He lives at Atlantic City and at present he is ill, confined to his tied with an attack of nervous prostration, it was this serious lllucf-s which defeated his plans and caused him to forfeit what was paid down. It has now been many mouths since the value of the deposit of shale north ot town owned by William G. Shoop was demonstrated by a series ot prac tical experiments with the shale made in the kilns out of town where vitrifi ed brick are burned. In the interim there lias not been it time when nego tiations have not been on foot bet ween the owner and parties in Philadelphia and New York for the purchase of the deposit. The expiration of Mr. Pur cell's option and bis failure to close the bargain has opened the way to otiier prospective put chasers and it was stated Saturday that a new brick man would be ot< the ground today to look over the property and size up the opportunities. The shale is ot first class quality and the deposit of almost unlimited extent. Add to this the tact that street paving in the smaller towns hereabout is com ing more and more into vogue; that Danville itself during the next year or so will require many hundred thou sand of brick to say nothing of what will be needed in our neighboring towns and it will be seen that the manufacture of paving brick here, whore the item of freight for large quantites will be reduced to a mini mum ought to be atteuded with con siderable profit. Our local capitalists are not blind to the opportunity and are already talking up the project of organizing a company to purchase the shale and enter upon the manufacture of vitrifi ed brick A Remarkable Case.

News says—" Honey's Hoys" captured the hearts of Richmond. Such con tinued and spontaneous applause is rarely heard in the concert hall, lie cause the company far exceeded ex pectations. "Honey's Boys" exquisite singing and playing probably excelled inartistic finish and intelligent inter pretation any performances ever heard by the little people in these parts. Their elegant costumes and trim mil ir iry uniforms, their artless, unconsc ious and high-bred manners, coupled with winning smiles, all completed a stage picture that did the heart good. It was small wonder that people near ly smothered them with attentions at an impromptu reception at the close of the concert; and ladies stole kiss after kiss from their rosv cheeks. It is impossible to convey in type an ad equate idea of the accomplishments of these northern boys. United Charities at World's Pair. Edwin K Hart, representing the Pennsyvlania State Commission of the World's Fair to fie field at St. Louis next year is going through this state collecting photos of charitable homes and poor houses, getting views of the pretentious as well as the shabby structures where the poor and indi gent of Pennsylvania are provided for. The object of the State World's Fair Commission in securing these pictures is to show the extent of the operations of the charitable organizations of the commonwealth, which,the commission confidently believes,will compare fav orably with the wnib of anv other state in the union. At the close of the exposition the photographs will be preserved at Har risburg, where they can be inspected at any time by members of the legisla ture and anyone interested in charit able enterprises.
