LMJIBTEK To the Americanlt was my purpose to seud you letters at regular intervals. tut since forwarding my last, owing to the fact that we have been having -o itiaoy changes, as wull as such strange experiences.it lias been almost impossible to find time to write. If I remember rightly my last communication was dated at Heyrout. where we went ashore to visit the city and its special jK)iutß of interest. There is an American College here, under auspices of the Presbyterian chorc'.i, and is a most excellent institution eou t uuing liuudreds of young men froiii every part of the Kast. We visited tlu college and lield a service thore, whicli WH> greatly enjoyed by all. The view f.on) Heyrout is most beautiiul as il I>- situated HO as to command a splen did view of tlie hay and the snow-cap ped Lebanon Mountains. The home! and stores in some quarters are very well built ami attractive. Like other Eastern cities, soldiers are in evidence evnrvwhere. To enter the city wo were compelled to show our passports. During our stay here Easter was be ing observed, and the city wore a de cided holiday appearance, many of the stores being closed, and the people were out in great numbers, attired in their brightest garments. A flourish ing Y. M. O. A. is maintained at the A met lean College and the writer had the pleasure of meeting a number of j its prominent members and talking I with them of the work in America. From Beyrout we steamed to Caifa, where we landed in small boats, tak ing onr baflagage with us, for it was at this point that we were to begin our overland trip on horseback, through Samaria and lialilee to Jerusalem, on horseback. Caifa is a small town, auil contains comparatively little of in terest. After a brief visit about the harbor, our horses were ready and wo started through the country on horse back. There was more or less excite ment in selecting horses, and before everything was in readiness,a number ot persons were thrown off and poshed about in the throng, but there was no serious damage to any one, and indue time we were on the road, a long line of riders, eager and anxious to see the many sights that can only be seen in a trip like this. We travelled through a beautiful country, over a well-kept road, until noon, when wo stopped, by the way side,under olive trees,for lunch,which was all ready for us when we came, it having been prepared by the cooks and servants who were always in advance of us. After lunch we continued on our journey to Nazareth, where our tents were pitched and at which place we stayed all night. The people were ex pecting us,and came out in great num bers to see our camp and look at the Americans. The entire population seemed to be dressed np for the occas ion, and as they passed to and t'ro in their bright garments the scene was most picturesque, as well as pleasing to our eyes. Whilst we were a strange sight to them, they were strange to us. Onr camping outfit consisted of tents very beautifully decorated on the in side with Oriental colors, and when . - , j -tni which to hang clothing,and every con venience for the traveler. Large Turk ish rugs were thrown on the ground, which made the tent comfortable and home-like. Cooks, servants, polica men, muleteers,dragomen and soldiers accompanied us from place to place, who served us in their respective cap acities and made living comparatively pleasant and safe during our outing of eight days. The entire camp equip ment was carried from place to place on the backs of camels ani donkeys. Our journey overland, which start |ed at Caifa, continued through Sam aria and Galilee, from day today, stopping for lunch at various points, also each night for rest. Sight seeing was indulged in by the way. After our departure from Nazareth we camo to the Sea of Galilee and Tiberias.pass ing through the beautiful Plain of Esdraelon on the way to Nazareth, al >o visiting the Annunciation,the Holy Grotto, Workshop of Joseph,the Mount of Precipitation, the Galileean Hills, and other reputed sacred sites so in timately associated with the early life of our Lord. Tiboras iH a walled city, and very old. Id reaching it wo passed Nit Tabor and through Oana of Galilee and across the great Crusader battle field of Hattin and the traditional Mount of Beatitudes. After exploring the Bazaar and the streets of the town of Tiberias,a delightful sail was made on the sea of Galilee, visiting on its shores the site of Capernaum. Betheaida and Magdala, and then hack to Tiber ias. At this city we had the pleasure of viewing an oriental wedding pro cession, which came into the town on camels and donkeys, with a long pro cession of men and women following, clapping their hands as they walked along the streets. From Tiberias we proceeded back to Nazareth, through pleasant valleys and over high moun tains, passing caravans of camels anil donkeys, enjoying very much the changing scenes and experiences. i may mention here that in Palestine there are no forests and very few tre s. I will continue my correspondence from here later, as I am able to find the time. WM. D. LAUMASTEH. Former Pastor Critically 111. The Rev. John M. Ansbpach, I).

The "Old Timers" will probaU v rnko in a good dial of new blood this year. They are convinced tim' there is a great deal ot excellent hr.-c hall material 111 Dan ville and that all t,hat is needed is practice and eu- I conrageim-nt to bring it out. The "Old Timers" have live or nix ('audi(lutes from the High School and other teams in town who have distinguished themselves with a good quality of work and these will be ad mitted to daily practice with the vet- eran team. Janitor S. M. Waite, who has takeu care of the base hall grounds ill this city for twenty-six years, has heeu en gaged for the present seasou and lie will begin work ou the grounds at De- Witt's park this wee*'. Dr. DeWltt, as proprietor of the park, will lend his aid in every way so that there is no question but that the grounds will be first class, both as relates to the convenience of the players and the comfort of the spectators. it is not believed that the loss of the bridge will stand as much of a detri ment in the matter of attendance, as the free ferry will prove adequate to haudle the crowd. Hacks will be run from the ferry landing at South Dan ville to DeWitt's parb. The "Old Timers" are already en gaged for two games at Vlt. Oaruael on Miners' Day, August 15th, which indicates that the old rivalry existing between Danville and the coal region will be renewed this seasou. The early date at which the engagement is clos ed aitests the popularity of the "Old Timers" and their value as a drawing card. The management is looking forward to a successful season. It feels con fident that its efforts to give Danville good amateur ball will be appreciated. The rates this summer will lie fifteen : cents notwithstanding that at all our j neighboring towns base hall will cost ■ twenty-five cents. The season is pros- ] perous and the "Old Timers" have it right to expect a generous support. The first game on the home diamond will be played. Saturday May 21, with the Bucknell Reserves.

To the residents of this city there is no more interesting and yet more per plexing problem than that of securing suitable servaut girls, as there is a scarcity of them, particularly in this section of the country, because the average young woman would rather work in the factory, store or mill. The reasons given are to the effect that a woman in any of the three lat ter places can display a great deal more of individuality, have actually more time to herself and the social re lations are pleasanter at home than in a stranger's house. However, as the days pass into years it is feared that a new class of foreign girls will have to be scoured for house servants. Fearing that these conditions aro inevitable and rather than endure a change, tho question lias been discus -1 sod by women, whoso names have re -1 coived national prominence. Mrs. Flor -1 ence Kelley who is president of the ' National Consumers' League says sho 1 has a plan which she believes will do away with the present evils of spe cialized labor, so ruinous to tho thou sands of dependent or struggling girls and which may be a probable solution to the servant girl problem. Instead of taking girls into industri al institutions and teaching them ab solutely nothing but working button holes, or something else as narrow, which, she says, can not but throw them eventually into a much over stocked trade, where wages are poor and good eyesight lasts but a few years, why not broaden their lives by making them skilled sorvaut girls that are eligible to well paying positions in refined families that will hi only too glad to get them. "Then," she continued, "we will turn out ev» ry year a class of workiug girls who will bo vastly more satisfied with their lot than blind paupers, and who w ill supply a desirable and great want in this country. There has to be a change,and a big broad one to bring about tho adjustment of a relation be tween the employe and employer, which d' lnands immediate attention. " Mrs. Kelloy, whose home is in New York, said that a movement was now on foot and there would bo some iu ttiresting developments shoitly as it is the intention to establish a school,and 1 it would tie second to none in thocoun- ' try. She said that the women of this ' age owed this much at least to the 1 coming generation. t One by one tho straw hats come out ( of the storage closet. t BAD DRIVING ACCIDENT A driving accident occurred near Limestoneville Sunday afternoon iu which the lives of four persons were imperilled, a boggy wrecked and one of the horses perhaps fatally injured. Charles Wolfinger and Miss Leota Moser of Millville with two spirited horses were driving from Milton to Washingtonvillo. When at a short dis tance this side of Limestoneville a don ran out from a residence and attacked the horses. The animals were very badly fright ened and at once began to run. Mr. j Wolfinger held on with all his strength | but he was unable to control the two frantic horses and for two miles they kept upthe fearful race.scarcely slack ening their pace in climbing the hills and dashing down the steep inclines in a way that threatened every mo ment to capsize the carriage. At length a buggy appeared iu the road before them. As they approach ed it the gentleman and lady called out vociferously warning the driver to turn aside. They were unheard, how ever. and iu au instant the runaway team crashed into the buggy and there was a dreadful mix-up. The buggy contained Dr. Hotta and Adam Wagner of Washingtonville. The vehicle was totally wrecked, although Dr. Hoffa and his companion escaped with slight bruises. Mr. Wolfinger aud his companion escaped injury,but om of their horses was badly hurt, it is feared, internally. The team is owned by H. F. John & Son, livery men, of Millville. Will Not Take Muster Rolls a3 Age Proof Before old soldiers here aud else where can receive the benofit of the receut order making ago a disability they w ill have to prove their ago. Commissioner of Pensions Ware will nut accept the muster rolls of the army and navy as proof of a man's age. The reason for this is very ap j parent, as young men who enlisted | during the Civil War were apt to over state their agos. Boys of 1(5 aud 18 ; often represented that they were 21. j Those muster rolls would bo erroneous land would give the veteran today the j benefit of four or live years. The commissioner will require that ! some other proof be submitted that the ! applicant for the various pensions uu ' der the age disability order is of tiio required age. This will probably have i to be obtained from family papets and ! records, church registers aud other I birth records. This requirement will prevent a very rapid inciease of the pension roll, aud it is thought presumable that the sl,- 500,000 which Congress passed in the general deficiency bill to help meet these new pensions for the present fiscal year will not be ni eded. Very few, if any,of these eases can be pass ed upon before the first of July, since tiie applicants have to furnish proof of their age. A Startling Test. To save a life, Dr. T. G. Merriatt, of No. Mehoopany, Pa., made a start ling test resulting in a wonderful cure. He writes, "a patient was attacked rnim nlnlont lianinrrhiicrpa fanned bv ouiKl ETectno Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver troubles so I prescribed them.

It has been many years since t le wild flowers appeared so plentiful or came so quickly after their blanket of snow. The growth of the flowers aud the swelliug of the leaf buds have been so retarded by unseasonable cold that tho , warmth of May has seemed finally to release them all at once. The arbutus ' was never more thrifty or the leaves so perfect as this Spring. The moist soil of the woodsjabounds in auemones, hepaticas, violets, dicentra, saxifraga and polygala of unusual luxuriance and beauty. The aments of the poplar, birch,alder and willow aud the samara Jof the maples, elm and ash garb the trees in an odd costume, and the dog wood blossom are ready to burst into sudden whiteness. The earth of tho woods seems to exhalo tho fragrance of a bourgeouning life. About such a scene there is nothing languid,nothing lazy. Nature trembles with the strength of a young giant's quick awakening from louk and refreshing sleep. The magic wand of Spring has touched tho aisles of the forest aud they are car peted with bloom. Ignorance is the Mother of Mistakes, blunders hihl bundles — tlio most ex ponsive thing in this foolish world. There are millions of poor person* who might have been rich but for their bluuders, and hundreds in their Kraves who might have been alive had they used l)r.

L<BB than two months intervene be tween tfio present date and the Fourth of Julv. Up to the present it was not known whether the day in Danville would be attended with any sort of a demonstration or not. Some plaus looking to a celebration have been under discussion in a few [of tho organizations, but it remained for Montour Castle, No. ISfi, Knights ot the Golden Eagle, to take tiio initia tive in the matter by deciding to cele brate the day and clinching tho decis ion by hiring Hunter's Park lor the event. The program has not yet boon ar ranged, but certain attractions have been decided upon that will make tint outing a vt«ry enjoyable one and j worthy of Indcpeudeuco Day. Cue or more bands will be in atteudauce; there will be dancing with other forms of amusement and everything will be Oil a soale sufficiently to take in ttin whole town. RETURNED FROM FISHING GREEK David It. Eckmau, M. G. Young nifiii, and F. • ,). Hartman have return ed home from several days trout fish ing iu the vicinity of Coles on Fish- iug Creek. e While not especially foitunate them- t selves the Danville fishermen report ( some very extraordinary catches in the I parts they visited. James Kline, form- t eriy landlord of tin* Susquehanna Ho- < tel, South Danville, now proprietor 1 oftheCentr.il Hotel, Bloomsburg, the I other day hooked a trout nineteen i inches long On the whole there seems i to be no scarcity of fish. Oue of the streams known as tho Sul- ; livau branch of Fishing Creek has sev eral times he'ii stocked by trout by our townsman M. G. Youugman, and it is there that some of the finest | catches are accomplished. The fishermen who have just return ed statt that a trip to the mountains just now is most delightful. The wat er is low and clear and conditions could not be better for g"od fishing. Mr. Eckuian and party while on the mountains had their headquarters at "Coles," the famous old resort so well known and so dear to many of our Danville people, who every Sum mer at intervals have been accustom ed to seek its seclusion and its cool re freshing shade. The establishment,sit uated at some distance above Jamison City, is a delightful old farm house with a porch all around it situated at tho base of the mountain. It was tho popular resort of the late B. R. Gear hart as well as the lamented S. A. Yorks, and both with some other townspeople had furnished rooms in j the house. Those visiting Coles this Summer find themselves well taken care of, al- j though tliev miss the cheerful pres ence and companionship of Mrs. Cole, who during the last few weeks has passed away from earth. It was her adaptability and kind attentions which in no small measuro assisted to make Coles popular as a Summer resort. Tho Hloonishurg Columbian in des canting on the attractions at Coles indulges 111 the following: The pleasures of this place were its location among tho towering hills 011 the bordors of tho forest, the smell of the woods, the coolness of the nights, the excellent country cookiug, tho sport of trout fishing in the stream that runs mar l>y, but. could be fol lowed for miles up into the dense forest, the toothsome trout dinners, the rambles; or to those who prefer red, the lounging on the porch, or .swinging in the hammocks while per using <uch literature as suited the in dividual taste. If was far away from the burly burly of business and the strife of eve ry day affairs, and the quii t was broken only by the purling of the brook and the singing of the birrls. To those who wanted perfect rest it was equal to a "lodge in some vast wilderness," though it has also been made a jolly place by many a ■ gay party of young people out for a ! summer holidav.

HEW BRIDGES TOO EIPENSIVE Attorney General (Jarsou, represent ing the Commonwealth lias Tiled in the Frothouotary's office at HarriH burg,exceptions to the reports of view ers recommending the reconstruo tion of three bridges which were destroyed by the flood during March. The exceptions to the reports are based upon the increase In the cost of the new structures as recom mended by viewers and iu change of location of the brdges without author ity. One of the bridges which origin ally cost but several thousand dollars will cost 112 175,000, according to the plans recommended by the viewers. The exceptions filed are as follows: !To the report recommending the re building of the Columbia county bridge across the Catawissa creek, known as the Fisher bridge, because the bridge is not necessary for the ac commodation of the traveling public, and therefore should not be built at tho expense of the Commonweal!). The viewers who recommended this bridge were: W. G. Yetter, Catawissa; B. S. Harper, Duncannon ; F. 0. Kleiss, Steelton ; Boyd Trescott., Millvillo, and Robert E. Williams, Harrisburg. To the recommendation for the bridge over the North Branch of the Susque hanna river, connecting Luzerne and Columbia comities. The exceptions to this report are that it calls for a bridge of greatly increased cost over that of ! the former structure and for a much larger bridge than the old one. An other contention of the Attorney Gen eral is that the State is not liable to construct such a bridge as recommend ' ed. as tho act of Assembly or of the j decisions of the Court do not piovide ! for it. The old bridge in question was a one track coverod wooden structure, 1,2(59 feet long and 28 feet wide. The re commendation for the now bridge calls for a steel structure, 1,000 feet long, with an additional viaduct 200 feet long, 22 feet wide and a fi-toot side walk. This stucture will cost $175,000. Still another exception is the fact that the site for the new bridge has been placed about 400 feet below that oc cupied by the old one, and the Attor ney General avers that the viewers had no authority to change the loca tion. The viewers who made a favor able report are: W. B. Allegor. Luz erne; L. E. Waller,Bloomsburg; Will iam M. Hargest, Hairisburg; Harry E. Kuupp, Harrisburg. and b'rank Roth, Harrisburg. The third report objected to was that on the bridge to be erected over the Conestoga creek in Safe Harbor, Lan caster county, on the grounds of in creased cost. The bridge which was washed away was a covered wooden structure of two spans and a double arch. It was 295 feet long aud cost $4,000. The new plans provide for a stone arch bridge 281 feet long, which will cost 170,000. The viewers for this bridge were: Harrv M. HOT, Lancas ter ;Johu M. Major, Hat risbnrg ; E. M. Haldeman, Harmbnrg; Richard J. Richard, North End, Si-r niton, and William S. Snyder, Harri burg. | A Oure For Files. 1 K Carter, of Atlanta, Cia., "aud con sulted a physician who advised me to try a box of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. I purchased a box and was en tirely cured.

The two hawks have proven a source j of much diversion to (he attaches ol j the Hospital. Each bird was provided > with a perch aud a coop in which to take shelter at night on the grounds in front of the building near the main entrance, where it proved quite an at traction to visitors. Each of the hawks lias a history. Oue of them, aud probably the fluent specimen of the two, was caught on Dr. Thompson's farm near Mooresburg where it became entangled in a wire fence while reconuoitering in the vie iuity of the farmer's chicken roost. The other oue was captured in a steel trap while making a depredatory in cursion on the Billmeyer farm near Washingtouville. They were both pres ented to the Hospit tl as line subject for taxidermy, but the birds were splendid specimens and the physicians of the staff saw in theui such an inter esting study that it was decided to preserve them alive instead of dead. Dr. Adams, who was in this city last evening,described several peculiar ities of the two hawks. They belong to the species which never drinks water aud during the two yeais that they wore in captivity it is a well authen ticated fact that neither of them took a drop of wator. Water was proffered to them frequently during the first year, but they always turned away from it as something with which they had no acquaintance. During the sec ond year no wa'er was offered them, but they t!i on aud developed along all lines.

Ti.e d.iily allowauce of each hawk was five spairows. These were shot about the grounds by the physi cians, who derived much sport aud recreation from the pursuit of the pestiferous little birds. Dr. Adams says that the sparrows have in a man ner disappeared from the vicinity of the Hospital, which is one reason why it was necessary to send the hawks away. The two hawks have become quite tame aud show a remarkable degree of intelligence. Oue of them, especial ly, Dr. Adams says, has been taught to do several stunts worthy of a bird more domestic in its habits and of tetter reputation as a pet. t Paules & 00.
