There is more Catarrh In this section of th ountry than all other diseases put together and until the last fi-w years was supposed to be ncurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced It a local disease, and prescribed ocal remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by !•'. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken Internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.

Bishop McCibe called the confer ence to order this morning at It o'clock and assisted by twenty brethren, ad ministeied the Lord's Supper to all of the ministers. They were so seated as to require only one talde for the en tire conference. After the roll had been called by the retiring secretary, Rev. T. S. Wilcox, presiding elder of the Williamsport district, quite a con test arose over the eh ction of the new secretary.

PREVENTING FLOOD DANGERS Iu common with other towns aloug the North Branch the citizens of Dan ville are manifesting much interest iu the proposition to enlist the state in an effort to prevent the recurrence of dangerous floods along the river. The prevailing sentiment found ex pression iu a communication addressed to the Borough Council at its last meeting, which placed first on a list of municipal improvements needed a dyke along the river hank above town, which might be constructed in con junction with the State and railroad companies interested. People seem very much in earnest and it is not unlikely that there will be a good healthy agitation of the mat ter during the next few mouths. A good many plans are suggested. One is a proposition to ask the Legislature to require the purchase aud removal of the islands and other obstructions, which can be done only on sucli au thority. There are very many islands along the courso of the Susquehanna That they become under certain con ditions dangerous barriers is well il lustrated by the islands in the river above Danville which caused the for mation of one of the most formidable ice packs along tho whole river and still serves as an anchor to hold a large field of ice intact. At least many of these islands are of no practical use and could well be dispensed with. Tho towns up the river are interest ed in a proposition to purchase and destroy the dam at Nanticoke. It is also claimed that the channel of the river is at places filled up with calm, mine aud other refuse, which should be kept out of the stream. Not only at Danville but all along the river people have suffered severely from the Hoods aud speedy action is warranted to protect themselves against similar dangers in the future. Where the local authorities manifest a desire to do their part the State can well afford to be generous iu helping. Death of Henry Jacobs. Henty Jacobs, a brother of John Jacobs, Sr., and a former resident of Danville, departed this life at his home,Williamsport, on Tuesday night about 11:80 o'clock. The remains will be brought to this city for burial. The deceased moved to Danville from Pottsville about fifty years ago. He was a confectioner and after work ing as a journeyman for a short time, about 1857, went into business for him self, occupying the stand, Mill street, in which William C.

He first landed on the coast of Wicklon; finally at Durdrum Bay, County Down He sought oat his form r master hut failed to convert him. His wish was to visit Tara, the capital of Ireland. Ho sought first the conversion of the king, princes and Chieftains of the land. Paganism gave way. Druidism lost its spiel 1. Pastors were educated and ordained to the ministry and schools arose. Dr. McCormack paid a fine tribute to Sr. Patrick not only as to his religious zeal, hut also to his wisdom aud tact. In first seeking the conversion of the kings and princes he set an example which is imitated by missionaries at the present day. "St. Patrick found Ireland opulent in melody of music and song. Moore and Sir John Steveuson traveled over tho country aud gathered up the songs,resetting and revising them and thus we have the beautiful gems of " Garry Owen,""The Last Kose of Summer" aud "The Meeting of the Waters," etc. "As we read tho brief records of St. Patrick's life we think of him as a man of generous heart,keen in intense seusibilities, capable of toilsome and wearisome labor under the inspiration of a burning passion for saving souls. He moves tluongh Ireland, today at Kerry,tomorrow at Mayo and the next day at Armagh. St. Patrick was a Christian missionary. The people to be converted were fierce, sensual, idolatrous.'' Concluding Dr. McCormack said: " Sr. Patrick's day may seem to some a most ah.-urd anniversary. But can you not s-'e in it the homage of the heart to disinterested and self sacrific ing goodii' ss. Thero are those who may laugh at tho Irishman aud regard him as superstitions, hut they should not despis/ the soutiment which im pels him to venerate the great evangel ist to whom he owes his Christian faith. " Yonder the august yet unambitious form stands out against the back ground of the ages. Through tie mists of thirteen centuries reverend eyes still gaze upo'i the btave heroic mis sionary, teacher, saint; his hands up lifted in benediction upon the people of his loving care and paternal coun sel. God save Ireland!" Use Immature Calves Complaints have recently reached the Dairy and Food Depart .m-nt from certain counties of Pennsylvania that a number of <h alers are engaged in buying calves from three days to a week old frtuu tanners and that these are being shipped outside of the state for food purposes. Some of these dealers are making | daily shipments and the practice is be coming quite common, because dairy men find a more remunerative source of income from the sale of milk than they would realize from permitting the calves to reach a more mature age before placing them on the market. It is claimed that the bulk of this so-call"d "bob veal" and "monkey veal" is bi ing shipped to New Yoik and New Jersey, where it is consumed in hoarding houses and restaurants. In these places ir is alleged this meat is used for "chicken pot-pies" and other dishes of a like character. It has also been asserted that a con siderable portion of this illegal meat is being canned and placed on the market under fancy names, and is be ing soid in many instances lor chick en. Idleness Depleted Stocks. The idleness of 50,000 miners iu the Schuylkill region for three days dur ing the last week has depleted coal stocks to the lowest point since tho strike of I'JO2. <>t the million and a half tons generally stored in the coal region there is now only a little more than a quarter of a million tons on hand. Loses Thousands a Month. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company loses over SB,OOO a month at their sta tion at Nescopeck, on account of the destruction of the Berwick-Nescopeck bridge. This, together with what they lose at South Danville and other points,where bridges have been swept away, amounts to many thousands of dollars a month. Repairing Pavement. The pavement iu front of Harvey Longonberger's barber shop, Mill street, washed out by the flood, was repaired yesterday. Over a cart load of gravel was washed fiotu under the flag stones into the cellar, as a result of which tho pavement sunk about a foot. Paul Swentek is the owner of the building. Special Meeting.

All this talk about Leap Year being designed as a period during which women may propose to men is a mis take. It is a year during which bus iness men are given another day in which to advertise. There have been more than forty snows this Winter. Yet we feel sure that next year many people will in sistently repeat their assurauce that the number of snowfalls will be the same as the month number of the day upon which the first snowfell. Au evidence of the lateness of the spring is the fact that while the Ist of April is only a week off the maple buds have not began lo swell. This is unusual. Shenandoah has a novelty in shape of basket '.mil being played on roller skates. The effect is said to be very amusing and interest ing. General skating follows the ga:i:e. "Shiloh Tidings" is the name of a neat four pate parish paper, the third issue of which has made its appear ance. It. is published in the interest of Shiloh Reformed church, and its con tents concern chiefly members of that congregation. The government intends to iucrease the number of cadets at Annapolis and iu the course of time the number of uaval officers. It is an eminently sen sible proceeding. What is the use of building war vessels at a tremendous expense and theu not have qualified men to handle them? Contracting agents for the great Barnum & Bailey circns are already circulating in Eastern Pennsylvania with a view of completing arrange ments for the appearance of the show in all its principal towns and cities. The open season for catching brook trout will begin on April 15th. There will probably be little chance for il legal fishing this year owing to the late spring. York County Court will admit no more youngsters to the bar until they have passed a State Board's as well as a local board's examination.
