FALLS OVERBOARD
Adams' Express Agent, A H. Groue
while crossing the river on the ferry
yesterday morning to meet the 9:15
train had the misfortune to fall over
board.
Tiie ferry was working very badly
owing to the low water and while
ferryman Yeager was poling at tho
front end Mr. Grone picked np a pole
at the rear end and stepped out upon
the fall board to assist tho boat along.
While thus engaged the pole slipped
opou the bottom which caused Mr.
Grone to tako a headlong plunge into
the river where the curreut was over
waist deep. He rank out of sight for a
moment while his hat drifted away
down stream. He soon regained his
feet.however.aud started in pursuit of
his hat, which he recovered, after
which he was assisted upon ttie ferry
boat.
Mr. Grone did not consider his ap
pearance very presentable and instead
of meeting the train, opou reaching
the South side took a launch and re
turned home.

THE TWO GAMES
OF BASE BALL
The two games of base ball at De-
Witt's 'Park Monday between the Old
Timer Reserves and tho Bloomsburg
Y. M. O. A. proved each a drawing
card. People who knew something of
these two clnbs looked forward to a
good game and they were not disap
pointed. The two games afforded a
victory apiece for the rival clubs,
Bloomsbjrg winning in the morning
game and the Old Timer Reserves in
the afternoon The score of the morn

Hospital Sewer Fully Repaired.
The large sixteen-inch iron pipe car
rying the sewage from the Hospital
for the Insane into the river, which
thoroughly intact carries the sewage
across the river near to the opposite
shore.
Each joint of pipe damaged was re
placed with new. The work was per
formed under great difficulties, the
water being over waist deep in the
middle of the rivor where a great deal
of the work had to be done. Each of
the joints is 12 feet long and weighs
1600 to 1700 pounds and oould only be
handled with oliains and blocks sup
ported by a tripod.
The difficult work was performed
under the supervision of Chief En-
T Chambers The employes
who along with the Chief Engineer
deserve credit for the good results
achieved are: F L. Neff, O. Rudy,
W. Mauser, J. Oashner and C. Ben

LABOR DAY AT
WITTS PARK
The Labor Day celebration held in
DeWitt's Park Monday was a fine
success, there neing nearly a thousand
people on tho ground.
The low stage of the river renders the
ferry service exceedingly poor, which
had the effect of keeping hundreds
of people on the Danville side who
would otherwise have spent the day at
Dr. DeWitt's Park. A considerable
number attended from Danville, how
ever, and were transported ovei the
river by the naphtha launches and row
boats, both of which were kept bnsy.
Outside of tho two base ball games
interest centered in the races, which
were run by students of the Susque
hanna University.
The 100-yard dash, which was run
by Fleck and Myers, was won by
Fleck, whose time was 11 seconds.
Myers' time was II 1 ,. seconds.
The 220-yard dash was run by Fleck
and Fox. This race was given to Fleck,
who came out one foot ahead of Fox.
Time, 28 seconds.
The 440-yard dash,run by Myers and
Fox, was won by the latter,who came
out a fot ahead.
The half-mile race, run by Fleck
and Fox, was a tie.
The winners of these races received
the gate money as a prize, which is
to be used in defraying college ex
penses.
The Danville Rifle and Gun Club
held a shoot on its grounds about 2
o'clock, which affordrd amusement for
a good many. A large number outside
the club participated. Some of the
scores, therefore, were very good,
while others lit longed to shooters who
laid no claim to much skill with the
rifle.
About 3 o'clock dancing began and
continued during the evening, manic
being furnished by Wyle's orchestra.
Many tables were spread in the park
and whole families took dinner and
supper on the grounds.
A very nice display of fireworks was
sent up last evening.
THE TRUE TEST.
Tried in Dauville, It Has Stood the Test.
The hardest test is tho test of time,
and Doan's Kidney Tills have stood it
well in Danville. Kidney sufferers
can hardly ask for stronger proof than
tho following :
Levi Alleger, hiker, of 102 North
Spruce St., says:"l found more re
lief from tie' use of Doan's Kidney
Pills than from anything I ever used
for kidney trouble. About eight years
ago I had considerable lameness in my
back, over the hips and a continual
aching right over the kidneys. These
pains clung to me and increased in
severity it I stooped or liltei. Oc
casionally sharp pains would pass
through me and shoot up between my
shoulders, along my spine. All this
caused nie considerable suffering and
unfitted me for my work. I could not
sleep well at night and in th»morning
would arise tired and unrefreshed. I
read about Doan's Kidney Pills cur
ing others and got a box. After tak
ing them as directed I felt better and
continued tin treatment until I felt
all right. 1 made a statement in IHIMi,
in which I saiil that Doan's Kidney
Pills had cured nie. I can only reiter
ate that statement at this time. I al
ways keep Doan's Kidney Pills in the
house,and whenever a cold or a strain
brings on a tired or weak back they
never fail to remove the trouble."

Only Male Singers.
The desire of Pope Pius X to have
the church return to the customs of
the early days and have only male
singers is being respected by many of
the Catholic churches of this land, as
is also his liking for the old Gregorian
music instead of the more modern and
as he thinks less devotional forms to
which we have grown accustomed.
Sunday three large Philadelphia
churches introduced their new men's
choir. There is nothing more imyres
sive than a well-trained, carefully
selected choir of male voices,as it can
be heard to perfection in the Papal
choir and in the great European ca
thedral, but, unfortunately, the Am
erican climate and the American boys
disinclination to submit to the rigor
ous training necessary have as yet giv
en ns no really great male choirs. Too
Often they are so execrable musically
as to be a positive torture to hear.
The Pope's wish, however, should
have a marked improving effect.

, Poor Fishing This Season.
The North Branch in this vicinity
several years ago was one of the best
fishing grounds in this section. Of
late years,however, it has yielded very
poor sport,e .eh succeeding year seem
ing to bring fewer fisl■.
A well known fisherman of our town
stated yfstvrdav that a few years ago
it was no unusual thing for him to
hook as mauv a- four hundred bass in
a season, while during the present
year he has thus fir caught but four
teen.
During the list 112.• w yoirs when the
falling oil in fish was first noted, black
bass were -till plentiful in the West
Branch, which gave rise to the theory
that the fisli in the North Branch were
beginning to suffer from the inroads
of coal dirt It now develops that
black bass have become as scarce in
the West Branch as anywhere else, so
that fishermen are beginning to look
for some cans for the general scarcity
other than coal dirt
The fisherman above quoted takes
the view that the ice gorges and the
big flood of last spring swept a large
number of fisli down the stream and
that they are prevent 'd by the dams
from finding their way up the river.

BUR COMMIT
TED SUICIDE
The little town of Middleburg was
thrown into a groat state of excite
ment Wednesday morning, when it was
learned that Charles Bilger, of Slia
mokin, who robbed Charles Derk of
$275 on the day the Forepaugh and
Sells circus exhibited at that place,
had oommitted suicide by shooting
himself.
Recently Bilger's father reimbursed
Derk for the money stolen and ever
since Bilger made his escape from the
hotel at Weigh Socles, he has boen
making his home with his father at
Middleburg, working on the farm.
Late Tuesday afternoon Bilger wont

short distanoe from Middleburg, and
when he appeared there It was seen
that he was intoxicated. Becoming
augry and abusive he threatened to
murder the entire family who tecame
thoroughly frightened at his threats
and left the house fearing to return
for the night. Early Wednesday morn
ing a shot was heard coming from the

A Hospital at Bloomaburg.
A well defined movement is already
on foot in Bloomsburg to establish a
hospital heie, the movement having
crystalized through the deatli of Will
iam Koumdey, whose life could proba
bly tiavo been saved had there been a
hospital here.
The questiou lias already received
the consideration of the physiciaus of
town and it is likely that a meeting
will be called in the near future by
the physiciaus to further consider the
matter. There have been two methods
suggested whereby tho object could be
attained; one, by having Council ap
point a committee to start tho move
ineut, and the other, by having the
Board of Trade take up the matter. A
stock company would bo formed and
the proposition placed upon a sub
stantial basis, after which state aid
would be secured.
Regarding the latter, a prominent
, physician speaking last evening, stat
, ed that they appreheuded no trouble
whatever in securing aid from the
state after the hospital wan ouoe plac
ed upon a substantial basis. Uo was
very optimistic regarding the pioject
and felt there was a big field with
Hloomsburg and the surrounding towns
and country to draw from, for a suc
cessful hospital.—Bloomsburg Pre<H.

Eleven Men Erecting Poles,
A force of men under Superintendent
Watts began the construction of poles
for the municipal light plant on Fast
Market street yesterday morning.
Eleven men were employed and very
good progress was made.
It is feared that the shade trees on
Market street may prove an obstacle
in the way of erecting the system; at
least that many of the trees will have
to be extensively trimmed in order to
admit of the wiros.
FOUNTAIN HILL
BE REMOVED
During the next few days the public
fountain will be removed from its pres
ent position at the weigh scales to
the western side of the new culvert on
Mill street.
This will bo pursuant to action
taken at tho last meeting of Council.
The fountain although it has very
nobly fulfilled its mission in minister
ing to both human beings and dumb
animals has not. been wholly a success
in its present position. In the first
place the ice attachment, while it con
sumed ice by the hondred weight,was
never efficient in cooling the water of
the fountain and after a trial was not
used. The next trouble w:is caused by
the waste water,which proved a great
nuisance to people residing near the
fountain. During last winter the waste
pipe bursted. In view of the im
provements contemplated on Mill street
Council did not see its way clear to
spend any money on repairs and the
fountain lias not been in commission
this summer.
It has now been decided to remove
the fountain to an entirely new loca
tion where the facilities will be tat
ter for conducting off the waste water.
The west side of tho Mill street oul
vert affords such a spot, where the
waste pipe of the fountain can be made
to connect with the water course dir
ectly below. The fountain will be off
the street entirely, occupying a place
on the sidewalk.
The intention is to have the wide
area at the junction of Mill, Bloom
and Northumberland streets clear of
obstacles ot every sort. In addition to
the scale the large polo of the Ameri
can Telegraph and Telephoue Com
pany, which stands near the center,
will also be removed. The removal of
all these will bo a fine improvement,
which will be all the more appreciated
when the street is paved at that point.

Oalvery Regiment National Guard.
The plan broached some time ago of
forming a two-battalion regiment of
cavalry for tho National Guard of
Pennsylvania, is again being discuss
ed. According to the program as at
present talked about,a four troop regi
ment should be formed iu Philadel
phia, uiving that city a full battalion
of inountod troops. Two more would
be formed and located, one in Pitts
burg and one in one ot the larger
towns of the interior. Not being a
full regiment, it would not ba entit
led to a colonel aud would be com
manded by a lieutenant colonel. Cap
tain Charles S. W. Jones, of Sheridan
Troop, Tyrone, it is said, will bo made
the commander of the regiment.
Captain Groouie, of the First City
Troop, is spoken of as the probable
major of the Philadelphia battaliou.
Many of the older officers of the Na
tioiial Guard favor the formation of
such a regiment, as they think tht
guard of this state is deficient in cav
alry. It is generally conceded that
mounted troops are the most effective
The cavalry can move from point to
poiui, with such rapidity that it can
cover a larger territory than iufartry,
which has to wait for transportation
by rail.

CUUIUS FROM
PHILIPPINES
One of the finest collections of cur
ios ever brought to this city will be
placed on exhibition on Mill street in
a few days. The curios represent a
collection brought from the Philippine
Islands by Mrs. Elizabeth M. Brimou,
who served as a trained nurse on the
Islands for some time.
There have been other collections
brought to Danville from the Islands
by returning soldiers, which consisted
largely of war implements and plain
wearing apparel.
Mrs. Hrinton's collection excels in
containing not only the above class of
articles,but also an immense assortment
of fiuo fabrics, dress goods, draperies,
embroidered and drawn work, besides
rare and beautiful dishes and niauy
other articles never before seen here in
such variety. The dress goods alone
show that the natives of the Islands
are not only the deftest of weavers
and that they are skilled in art of dye
ing, but also that there are in the
Philippines a refined taste and a
love of the beautiful.
Mrs. Brinton's collection fills a
whole apartment and what it does not
contain it would be difficult to tell.
Of great interest to ladies is a dress of
a wealthy Philippine lady, made with
a train after a style peculiar to the
Islands. The dress goods are superb
not only in point of fine texture but
also in the beautful shade of coloring.
A very popular goods resembles silk
somewhat, but is made of the fibre of
the Josie plant and is called "Josie"
(pronounced "Hosie)."
Another beautiful cloth, finer than
any,is made of the fibre of the pineap
ple. This is not only used for dress
goods but for table cloth,doilies,hand
kerchiefs and for cuffs and collars.
These beautiful fabrios are all woven
011 the most primitive of looms. When
dyed the colors are "fast." When not
dyed th«y are whito or cream colored.
The embroidery and the drawn work
all of which was executed by the pati
ent Philippine women,are a marvel in
this country even to the most dexter
ous hands at such work. There are
score of specimens of each in Mrs.
Brinton's large collection, no two of
which are alike and all wonderful in
showing how faultless and mechanical
work can be that is turned out by
the human hand.
The collection contains an immense
variety of goods made of straw. The
matting is most beautiful iu design,
the colors brilliant and "fast." Mrs.
Brintou has nearly enough matting to
cover one floor, which, she says, in
the Philippines is used also for cover
ing the walls. Owing to the preval
ence of earthquakes neither plaster nor
paper can be employed in the houses
on any of the Islands. Neither can
window glass be used for the same rea
son and in lieu of glass beautiful semi
transparent shells are artistically in
serted in the windows, several speci
mens of the latter being included
among the curios. Mrs. Briutou pass
ed through a number of earthquakes
and to hear her describe how she was
tumbled about as the earth rocked be
neath her feet one can easily under
stand that plaster and wall paper, to
say nothing of glass, would not prove
very serviceable on houses.
iwo fiillippine cigars a foot loug
and over six inches in circumference
seemed to require some explanation.
These Mrs. Brinton said were made by
factory girls, who by oustom were al
lowed one cigar per day to be made
by the girl herself. The native girl,
however, is a resourceful creature and
the cigar designed for herself befoie
loug began to grow. It was soon the
size of three cigars and kept on grow
ing until it attained the enormous di
mensions described above. Such cigars
are used by the entire family at home,
eaoli member in turn taking a pull at
the big roll of tobacco
Mrs. Brinton lias brought an endless
variety of straw headgear along home.
The most of these are from the Island
of Luzon, where the natives are ex
ceedingly picturesque. Mrs. Brinton's
own hat which she woie when she
went abroad in the sun, is about as
big as an umbrella. The men's hats
are wonderful creations, bearing more
of a resemblance to a basket than to
headgear. Pew of the native lists are
less than five or six feet iu circumfer
ence.
In the collection are hundreds of
rare and beautiful shells, gathered by
Mrs. Brintou herself while ou the Is
lands.
There are nearly a hundred other
curios, whinh merit n description, but
space will not permit—saoh a* the
Philippine stove (made of earthen
ware) ornameuts made of ivory and of
the beautiful hard woods which urow
on the islands; rare draperies, combs
and shoes of wood.artioles of all sorts
made of bamboo; a full tea set of Jap
anese dishes and bolos, which have
seen bloody service, presented to the
nurses by natives who received treat
ment in the hospital.
The curios will be placed on exhibi
tion in a vacant room on Mill street
iu a few days. An admission fee will
be charged, the proceeds to be donat
ed to the Pino Street Lutheran church.
After Goal Companies.
From present indications the West
Kiifi Oo»l Company at Mocanaqua, will
be called upon to answer for their
share of polluting the Susquehanna
river. State Fish Warden Holland has
made an investigation anil reported
I the same to the authorities at Harris
! hurg. The charge is that the company
lias been polluting the river with sul
phur water and culm.
The state game commissioner has in
structed Holland to examine the liv
er at every point where there is a col
liery and all the companies engaged
in polluting the stream will he pro
secuted by the state. Under the laws
framed for the protection of the fish
the authorities say they can compel
the companies to cease dumping culm
and other undesirable matter into the
r i ver.

THEY LIVE ON
10 CENTS A DA!
Employed along Heading Railway
system and especially on the Shamok
iu division, there are about three
thousand Italians who maiutaiu them
selves on ten cents a day and eveu
less. Among them there is little sick
ness and each of them is hale and
hearty.
All of the men are fresh from Italy,
being procared by the agents of the
company as soon as they land at Oastle
Garden. They live in the various
towns along the Heading's lines, the
company arranging for their susten
ance and shelter. Each gaug of from
six to twenty inen is in charge of a
man who occupies practically the same
position as the oldtime padrone. He
arranges for the food for the men and
sees to it that they report regularly
for work and do not dissipate. Each
day he receives a shipment ot food
from firms that have been awarded
contracts by the company. One of
these firms, Romo brothers, supplies
several thousand loaves of stale bread
each day. The bread has attained a
solidity that would make a loaf a
dangerous weapon in the hands of a
man, but the Tuscans soak it in ooffee
and relish it. In fact they prefer it to
fresh bread and exist almost entirely
upon it. They eat but little meat and
consume large quantities of potatoes
and onions.
The padrones figure out that it oosts
abont teu cents a day to keep a man.
They also say that the men wilt not
spend on the average of twenty-five
oenta a year for medical attention. In
fact they say they seldom if ever get
sick and that the only money expend
ed for medical aid aud mediciue is for
dressing of the injuries which the
men sustain as the result of acoi'lont
while at work
Nearly all of the alieus have bank
accounts in lb- towns contiguous to
their shacl s ui>l tii < manner in which
they accumu' » » money is, in consid
eration of tin' f' «'!t that they are paid
only from fl.iK) to #1.50 a day.asouroe
of increasing wonder to bank officials
Each pay day they make a deposit af
ter paying their board, which may
amount to five or six dollars, and al
lowing themselves possibly a half dol
lar or a dollar for tobacco aud inci
dentals during the ensuing month. It
is estimated that a thrifty Italian who
earns thirty dollars a mouth wili save
twenty of it. When he accumulates
five or six hundred dollars he does not
consider himself wealthy, as is gener
ally supposed,but shrewdly uses every
artifice possible to keep his fellow
workers from learning what he is
worth. Nor does he change his mode
of liviug. The ten cents a day diet
seems to agree with him aud to satisfy
him. Oft-times it occurs that when
he has saved a few hundred dollars he
will pack up his belongings and go
back to sunny Italy where he says his
money will go even further than here.
