R LITTLE CHILD US CLOSE CALL Three-year-old Henry Foulk while playing alone fell headfirst into a rain barrel full of water at Washingtonville Tuesday and that he was not drown ed was due to nothing short of a mira cle. It occurred about noon. The child is a son of Mr. and Mrs. George Foulk of Washingtonville. Mrs. Foulk ac companied by little Henry had just stepped over to the home of Mr. Key ser, a neighbor. She entered the dwell ing aud was soon interested in a con versation with Mrs. Keyser, while tin child tarried just outside the door to play with the cat. In this position be was iu full view from the Eagle Hotel nearly opposite. While playing it happened that the little fellow caught the eye of the Landlord, Amaudus L. Hoddens. The child was then on the top ot a flight of steps which led into the house, by the side of which was a rain barrel fall of water as the result of the pre vious night's raiu. Somthing attracted Mr. Hoddens' at tention in the opposite direction. The next moment, however, by the merest accident he happened to cast his eyes toward the Keyser house. The child then had vanished. The sudden dis appearance struck Mr. lleddcns as odd and induced him to look closely. It was this that saved the child's life, for the landlord detected two lit tie feet protruding above the top of the rain barrel. Instinctively he dash ed across the street and scarcely dar ing to hope that the child was still alive seized him by the heels and pall ed him oot of the water. The child was still alive and consc ious, although nearly strangled with water and iu a short time was brought around all right. Rescue had come in the very nick of time. Mrs. Foulk was overcome when call ed to the spot and informed how near her child had been to death. Annual Picnic. The Susquehanna District. Associa tion O. U. A. M.,held its annual out ing at Huuter's |Park Tuesday. Sev eral hundred people were present rep resenting the neighboring towns of Suubury.Shamokin,Bloonisburg, Cata wiHsa and Central. The attendance would have been larger had it not been for the heavy raiu of Monday evening, which created the impression that the grove would be damp and uncomfort able. The contrary was the fact, how ever, as the ground in the park is of peculiar formation, which causes it to dry off in a few hours after a rain. Those present bad a most delightful time aud enjoyed themselves in a var iety of ways. The members of the various councils present were accom panied by their ladies. There was good music on hand and those A>IIO wore foud of dancing found ample oppor tunity to gratify their love for that sport. The 7 :. r »3 P. &R. train north had several extra cars attached which were well filled. To accommodate the picnickers ttie train both on the up and the return trip stopped at a point opposite Hunter's Park. Both the Penusy and the D L. & W. Railroads brought picnickers on their regular trains. Some half a dozen councils were rep resented in the outing and they were a unit in expressing their admiration for Hunter's Park and declared their intention of returning here next sum mer. Unwholesome Fruit. The Philadelphia Department of Public Health has sent out a warning of the daiiger of eating unripe and overripe fruit. It says that careless ness in the consumption of fruitcauses moch illness. The Department is right. Ever since man learned the difference between fruit he might eat and that which lie might not eat, he has been devouring it ripe, unripe and overripe. And he lias been paying the penalty by in creasing the tribes of doctor- and un dertakers. The adult stomach seems to he weak er than the juvenile. Let a grown person eat a quart of unripe apples or peaches and a quantity of off-colored aud sour blackberries and he will quickly be tied up in the hardc st kind of knots. But a small hoy can g"t away with the whole lot, without any great inconvenience, especially if the fruit has been stolen. Was any boy ever made sick by eating stolen fruit' The Department has overlooked one important point The eating of one unripe apple has been known to can e frightful illness when whiskey and ginger were within reach Then should be an additoual warning against keeping unripe fruit, and whiskey in the house at the same time And lastly, don't eat friut until it is properly and naturally ripened.

Nickorson, President of the Suuhury Trust and Safe Deposit Company, and one of that city 's lore most citizens, died suddenly at his home, Arch street, shortly after mid night Tuesday morning. Death is at tributed to Bright's disease. The deceased for many years was a resident of Danville, holding a posi tion as train despatcher for the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western rail road company. On the loth ot Decem ber, 1 Still, he wedded Miss Elizabeth Woods of this city, who with three daughters. Misses Mary, Gertrude and Ruth, survive him. For a week or more Mr. Nickerson complained slightly ot not feeling | well, hut be attached no importance to the fact, and the members of his family, as well as his friends, were I not aware of his true coudition. Cm Monday he seemed to ho in good ! health, and was at his post- of duty at the buik during the entire dav After supper he returned to the bank and was busy in his private office until til most nine o'clock. Upon his return home he complained of feeling tired and worn out. He lay down on the couch .and soon fell asleep. His heavy breathing attracted the attention of his daughters, who were in the ad joining room They attempted to arouse him hut were anable to do so, finding him in a semi-conscious state Mrs. Nickerson, who had been out spending the evening, arrived home at about this time,and immediately sum moned medical assistance. Drs. Ston er.Swenk and Cressinger responded to the call,and did all known to the skill of their profession to relieve him, but with no success, the patient sinking slowly t»ut surely, until the Angel of Death came shortly after the hour of midnight. Charles W. Nickerson was aged <i<> years and 25 days. He was horn at Steubousville, Ohio, July 28, 1 s:iS. — His parents, who were of English de cent died when he was but eleven years of age. By this unavoidable state of circumstances he was thrown upon his own resources to battle with the stern realities of the world. After spending several years in his native town, Mr. Nickerson made his way to Philadelphia, where lie secur ed a position in the office of the City- Register. He remained there for some time, aud then went to Elmira, N.Y., where he engaged with much success, in various pursuits. Mr. Nickerson next located in Dan ville. Some years later he went to Northumberland where betook up the coal business, being the special agent of the Scott Coal Company of Erie,for this district. He remained there only a short tim\ removing to Sunbury to continue iu the same business until 1890. Realizing that Suubuiy was large enough to afford a econ.l hanking in stitution, lie set ahoul to accomplish the organization of another bank and with a nurnh 'T of others applied all ot his energies in tliar direction and the formation of The Sunbury Trust and Safe Deposit Company was the result of their labors. Mr. Nickerson was elected president and served in that capacity continuously until the date ol his dealh His c ue l r in the bank ing world litis been crowned with most signal success and the eminence to which he so ambitiously aspired, has leen happily reached. During the civil war Mr. Nickerson enlisted in a company that went, to the front from Wililamsport aud took part in several engagements, the mo t notable of which was the battle of Frederickshrng. He was a member of the Masonic and Knights' Templar fraternities. Those who knew Mr. Niekeisrm hut superficially might lie inclined to re gard him as stem; but he was stern only in holding fast to that which he believed to be right; in very truth, he was a man ol kindly heart. His nob lest traits were shown only to his nearest friends, because in till his movements he was unostentatious. In business he was a forceful factor, en terprising and progressive; and in all his relations iu life,he realized a high type of manliness a-; husband, father, friend and citizen.

Brinton returned to 13 invi 11»* Saturday lifter an absence nf some fiuir \ • :ir~ Since leav my here Mrs. Brinton l>us served us a trained nursi under the government; she lias laliored in tin Phili|i|iine Islands in the very heart and home (if iusurroc tion and has seen more of the world than has fallen to the lot of most wo men. It wain tie year l'.lOO that Mrs. 'Brinton, then already a trained nurse, was appointed to a position under the government. She served for nine months in the United States General Hospital known as the Presidio,at San Francisco. In 11>(> 1 she was transferred til the Philippim - md alter the usual on « month's trip landed at Manila, where she went on temporary duty. In September, 11*01, Mrs. Briutou was assigued to Calauiha, Luzon, a town ahout forty miles from Manila, where the natives were very treacherous,and life even for nurses was full of excite ment and adventure. While at Cal amba a well laid plan was unearthed which had for its object the massacre of all the officers of the post. Mrs. Brinton sees considerable to ad mire in the natives of the Philippines. On some of the islands they are found to he very faithful and trustworthy. In Calamha even where treachery | made conspiracy possible it was a na tive who betrayed the secret and sav ed the lives of so many people. Describing the conspiracy Mrs. • Brinton explained that the officers, i surgeons and nurses ot the military station at Calamha were quartered in a large establishment which formerly had been a triar's house. One of the amusements indulged in here when off duty was dancing, the music being furnished by native orchestras, which are always ready to offer their services tor a mere pittance. The post had no intimation of the dark scenes impending until one of the members of th > orchestra yielding to the sentiment of humanity told an officer all ahout the conspiracy. The musicians in their frequent visits to the station were to keep their eyes open and at such time as when it was found that the most of the troops were away the blow was to be struck. Ev ! ery otlicer was to be killed but what fate was kept in stors for the nurses and others was not revealed. It was not infrequent that conditions prevail ed precisely a- desired hv the plotters, and clearly nothing prevent! d a shock ing scene of bloodshed hut the timely warning given by the native musician. The above gives a fair idea of the variity that, enters into the life ot a nurse in the Philippines showing that : her every day existence is by no means dull. Mrs. Brinton states that life in the 1 Pliilij pities has a peculiar fasciuatiou ahout it, du to the luxurious vegeta tion and the influence of the tropical climate. The unfavorable reports re ceived here are largely from the soldi ; ers who arc tied down hv military dis cipline, who have no intercourse with society and see only the harsh and ugly phase ol life. The nights are al ! ways delightfully cool and while the j days are warm, mercury climbing very high,the heat is always tempered with a breeze. Mrs. Brinton spent Christmas, P.>o2, at Calauiba. She was ne xt assigned to Iloilo on the Island of Pamay. While in the Philippines she visited many of the different island and found the con ditions ol life much the same. Mrs. Brinton was first appoint d tor one year; later, however,her term was extended so that in all she spent two years and t n months in the govern ment s-i vi. e. Some six months of this time were putin as nurse at the Tub ercular Hospital at Fort Bayard, New Mexico, aft r she returned from the Philippine Islands. In July, PJO3, Mrs. Brinton's term aspired. Since then she lias been fol lowing her chosen vocation in Denver, Colorado, where she has charge of a private patient. Mrs. Brinton was the guest of Cap tain ard Mrs J. 11. Johnson at Hunt er's Park yesterday. She is looking exceedingly well after her busy and varied i xperience and is very highly enjoying her visit. TESTED AND PROVEN.

FISH KILLED BY DYNAMITE Hundreds and hundreds of pounds of trout, white chubs and other binds of fish, was the haul by seven miners who wore camping along the Balliard Run, several miles back of Shickshinny last week. The guilty parties then had the audacity to try to sell their game to various farmers residing in the vicin ity. But these attempts was their Jonah. The farmers at once notified detective Holland of Beach Haven, who immediately went to the scene and succeeded in landing three of tho men, who wore taken to tho county jail at Wilkesbarre. If appears that tho nun went with the express purpose of cleaning tho stream of all kinds of fish and every other living thing in it. And well did they succeed, for in the eight miles of the water that was dynamited, not even a minnow can be found. Farm ers who were near when the nefarious work was being done say that the water was thrown at least thirty feet in the air, and that fish weighing sev eral pounds were thrown out upon the hank. Tho farmers say that as many as forty poles were used by the men, and that the dynamiting was not done until the las: day. Mr. Holland went to tho placo as soon as ho was notified and succeeded in locating and capturing one of them. About one o'clock in the morning an other was captured and the third was taken from his house and placed un der arrest about thirty iuinates later. Tho other four succeeded in getting away. Mi Holland says the meu are de generates and do not live like civilized people, although they are Americans. They live in huts and sleep on the floor; dress in rags, and very few of these aro to be seen. As an excuse for tho crime the men said that they could neither read nor write, and that they thought t.hey had a right to do what they had done. Endeavors will ho made to capture tho other four as soon as possible, and all seven of them will bo punished to the full extent of the law. The names ot the captured men are Arthur Oplinger, Alexander Springer and Harry Featheriuan. Entertained Milton Friends.

There is no remedy in the world equal to Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for curing indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach disorders.

The monument thus made can be of any size and yet of one piece. Recently in Hungary on tho river Tlieiss an obelisk 74 feet 'J inches high above tho base was made of reinforced concroto with protect success,the total height, including foundations, being 81 feet 3 inches. The work is made hollow, it appears to save material, the walls being six inches thick. The panels were finished with a coating of lino material and polishoi. The entire cost of the monument was $1,522. An other monument or reinforced concrete like this,is one erected in Rome,ltaly, on Gaudagnola Hill. This structure is 30 feet (> inches high. In view of tho sin ill cost of concret s monuments, as compared with those of marble and granite, enthusiasts will be likely to unearth a number of forgotten heroes for our admiration. Reduced to Oue Brakeman. From Pennsylvania Railroad divis ion headquarters Monday were issued orders reducing tho hrakemen on fast freight, trains to one man. The crews ordinarily have three hrakemen,but this number was reduc ed by one some time ago. When the new order went into effect yesterday morning crews were composed of hut conductor, flagman and brakeman, ex cluding engineer and fireman. It is said that officials did not want the order to leak out until yesterday as they fear they will make trouble. Now that the order is known Brother hood meetings will likely be called for j today. When the hrakemen were reduced to j two the Brotherhood met and formed j protests for presentation to General ! Manager Atterhury. The reduction to one brakeman will arouse a storm of protest, as the work is far too numer ous for one man, mid as if will force some trainmen on the suspended list. The order is in line with tho gener al retrenchment policy.

We have just received the catalogue ot the literary Institute and State Normal School at Bloomsburg, Pa , and have been greatly interested in its contents. We note that emphasis is first laid on the preparation of young people for the profession of teaching (See pages 8 and 0. Also pages 18 to 24 inclusive) A practice school is maintained in which those preparing to teach, have daily experience under the supervision of critic teachers in all branches of the public school cur riculum. At the san e time, instruc tion in Academic Studies is given by College and University trained speci alists, so that thorough scholarship as well as rare skill in teaching is acquir ed. Commercial Courses (pages 15 and 28), Music Courses (pages 11, 20, 30) and courses preparing tor the various Colleges, including the Medical Col leges are also maintained, (pages 10, 24, to 27). All this with the pupil iimler the best school and moral in fluences, makes the Bloomsburg school the be't fitting school to be found any where.

When he awoke tho flames were lick ing his bed room window and that his home was saved he considers due to the persistent and heroic efforts of the volunteer firemen. In conversation with a representa tive of the AMERICAN Sunday he made a request that lie he quoted as expressing his deep gratitude to the firemen for their solicitude for his per sonal welfare and his high estimate of their services, which saved his home from the wreck. Similar sentiments were expressed by Will G. Brown and wife as well as others whose property was menaced by the fire. Tho firemen in turn desire to express their gratitude to Mrs. Will G.

ADVOCATE A MARKET HOUSE Pursuant to the action of Council Friday night the curb stone market Saturday morning lined up on Lower Mulberry street. Church street was named in connection with Lower Mul berry stroet, the intention of Council being that when the latter thorough fare was filled tho line of wagons should extend southwardly along Church stroet. It developed Saturday morning that the usual turn out of farmers at this season of the year can be accommodated on Lower Mulberry street The row of wagons nicely fill ed tho space between Mill and Church streets, but did not extend beyond it. The farmers took the matter very good naturedly, although they made \ no socret of it that they were not in love with the new quarters. Ti.ey con sider their position en Lower Mulberry street too much exposed, both to the sun and rain. They have be conn ac customed to the awnings of Mill street and are looking very hopefully for ward to tho day when they may be permitted to return to the latter street. Quite a number of farmers along with some town people were heard ad vocating tho erection of a market houso and it is not unlikely in these days of municipal improvements that a sentiment in favor of this enterprise will grow perceptibly during the next few months. Several available sites have been suggested and some figuring has been doue to show what a return such an investment might yield. Robbed in Philadelphia. Samuel Hoffman, of Htigbesville, was waylaid, chloroformed and robbed of a good sized sum of money in Phil adeplhia last week. He went to the city early in the week to purchase a , horse for himself and one for Wilson ] Fry. the liveryman at that place. Ho j had bought Fry's horse and was on his j way to his hotel at six o'colok, when, j in passing a small stroet, a man dart ed out, pinioned his arms and stuck a J chloroform handkerchief to his nose, i Mr. Hoffman recovered consciousness 3 hours later. He found himself at his hotel,having been recognized and taken i there by parties who had seen him in that vicinity. All of his money was j gone Another man was robbed in the : same way, in the same neighborhood, j earlier in the evening It is supposed that the robbers had spotted Mr. Hoffman when he paid for Fry's horse, and laid in wait for liiin |as he came along on his way to his hotel.

At seven cents a pound a bale of 500 pounds of lint cotton wou'd he worth $35, besides $7 for the seed.

But if tho farmer paid a dollar hundred it would only cost him §ls to got his bale picked. Bagging and ginning co%t $1.50, making 410.50 for a bale won It, with the seed, $42. It is predicted that the farmers would pay more than a dollar rather than lose the cotton. At a dollar a hundred laborers could make sl. 50 to $2 a day. A Summer Gold.

GRANTED AND DISSOLVED j Our citizens are immensely inter- | ested in the improvements which are I on foot. Tito action of Council and tin' virions activities relating to tho Borough which crow out of it are clci~.lv watched Our people Fri day. however, were treated to a de velopme it which did not seem to he on tho program. Up town residents who meandered down to Mill street about 7 o'clock in tho morning were surprised to sen a force of trolley employes, some sixty in number,under \V. F. Vascoe busily at work on the lower end of Mil! street near the entrance to the bridge In i» very short time an ex cavation for the track a.s required by the grade was completed nea.ly halt a square and a gang followed placing the ties in position and spiking down the rails. Thus tho work progressed and by noon the trolley road was com pleted as far as the Hcddeus House. It was generally expected that tlie Danville mid Bloomsburg Electric Railroad Company would begin yes terday to lay its tracks on Mill street; but almost every one had the portion of the street in mind where paving was in progress. The movements of the largo crew so busily at work held the interest of the populace and quite :is many lookers-on lined each side walk as wore at work on tho street Mill street from the Montour House nearly down to the bridge was black with people. At one o'clock the trolley builders resumed their work and the big crowd of spectators lined up in their accustomed places on the sidewalk. Along about 2 o'clock an injuiclii n was served on the Danville and Bloomsburg Electric Railway Com pany by tin I) i-ivilM and Snnbnry Electric I> il t Company praying that the 112 > *s. c mpany he restrained from la* i is r is upon ground to which lii Ire limed it alone bad the lega u> tie rights. The in j in ;i is was in force ju-t fifteen mill its «• hen it was dissolved by Associate Judge Thompson, who had granted it. A moment later the immense crew, by this time nearly a hundred in number, leaped luck into the trench and the mingled sounds of picks, shovels and sledges driving home the spikes, made merry music until six o'clock and even after that hour until darkness settled over the town. By that time tho rails were firmly spiked down to a point slightly north of Market street. President Judge K. li. Little being absent in Boston the duty of granting the injunction devolved upon Asso ciate Judge Dr. S. V. Thompson who was the only Associate in town. Sher iff Maiers was al>o absent and Horace Blue, Commissioners' clerk, was ap pointed by Judge Thompson to serve the injunction. During an inte view Fjilay af ternoon Judge Thompson explained to a representative of the AMERICAN his reasons for dissolving the injunc tion so quickly after granting it. When lie discovered that the injunction cov ered the trolley work throughout the I Borough, ho said, lie did not consider I the bail—one thousand dollars—suffic ient. He also discovered that due and legal notice had not been given to the defendants During an interview with W. F. I'ascoe it was learned that the Dan ville and Bloomsburg Eloctric Rail way Company feels perfectly secure in the posession ot legal corporate rights. As Mr. Pascoe explained it his company has a charter for an elec tric railroad over tho thoroughfarfs on which las tra 'k is laid. In addi tion to this the Borough of Danville has enacted an ordinance granting his company a right of way over the same streets and he declared that he would proceed to complete the road until stopped by some procedure that was strictly legal in its character.

To knock because a newspajKir fails to give every scrap of news, so long as ! you take no pains to give the news ill in information, is exceedingly more than nnreasonable. Some readers are awfully put out at times because 110 note has been made of tho arrival or departure of frienls visiting them, or of social affairs, or of he ivon-senf babies that visit their homes over night. Tho average reporter is no medium nor yet a mind reader, and gets the most of his news by pumping. ■■M - i-TiriT»ir II 1 1 iiiai I— i /\ hd J ":- 11 1 Why is it that Aycr's Hair I I Vigor docs so many remark able things?
