MONTOUR AMERICAN FRANK C. ANGLE. Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Feb. 2, IWS. NEARLY READY TO ORGANIZE Matters incidental to the formation of the iiedical Protective Association by the Montour County Medical So ciety, are progressing. Nearly every thing i' in shape for organization, the committee having it* work about com pleted and its plans formulated With the view of organizing the physicau* will meet in a short time. The move to oiganize a Medical Pro tective As-ociation in this countv has stirred up the physicians in other ooun ties in the state, and they have decid ed to art too and protect themselves against dead beats by forming similar associations With that object in view they have written frequent letteis to the local physicians, requesting in structions and advice in the matter. Iu the face of all this comes the In formation of a more gigantic move by physicians. The American Medioal Association has a bill introduced in Congress asking for a charter,in order that it may become a chartered organ ization and be under the protection of the laws of the United States.

POLES LOOK FORWARD TO FREEDOM S TIME WARSAW. Russia. Feb. I.—The correspondent of the Press today had an interview with a member of the Central committee of Polish commit tee of Revolutionary societies in the course of which the Polish revolution ists committeemen asserted that the ' new phase of the trouble is a new re sistance to Russian domination. He said: "The uprising in Warsaw and the rest of Poland marks a new phase of our resistance to Russian domination. Hitherto the Nationalist and Socialist parties in Poland have been combat ting each other more than they have fought the St. Petersburg bureaucracy. We have formulated a truce and es tablished a new party called the Pro gressive National party, whicli will conduct a joint propaganda. We are not ready yet to make a strong resist ance. We have simply seized the op portunity caused by the strike at St. Petersburg to foment discord here,and indicate to ourselves where our mach inery does not run smoothly. ''l anticipate an almost immediate collapse of the strike,for we have bad ly frightened the authorities and have compelled them to augment the ordin ary Warsaw garrison of 50,u00 men by 60,000 more. "We cannot gain anything by pro longing the conflict. Orders will short ly be issued for its cessation. "Most of the casualties of the past few days have not been among our fol lowers but among roughs who were seeking plunder. "We have temporarily abandoned the struggle for full national independ ence, formolated on Friday. The fol lowing however, are a new series of demands which have been sent to the authorities: "First. The introduotion of the Polish language lu the government courts and schools. "Second. The abolition of the priv ileges of those who are not Poles. "Third. The abolition of restric tions to Poles throughout Russia. "Fourth. Liberty of askooiation, speech aud worship. "Fifth. The involibility of domici les. "Sixth. Amnesty to political pris oners. "Seventh. An automonous govern ment for villages and cities. "Eighth. Compulsory free educa tion. "We hope some of these demands will shortly be accepted. "We are formiug a big organisation in America and have appointed M. Debstir, of 61 St. Mark's Place, New York, our chief agent in the United States." FATHER OOPON MAKES A THREAT ST. PETERSBURG, Fab.

"What lias happened? The workmen have been deoeived. Although they resumed work they are arrested by the wholesale in workshops and at home. "The government has broken its word.

A lady who saw forks oaed for the first tliue at a dinner of Henry 111. of France records her "lmpresßlona" of the occasion Ilenry had In 1874 been tendered a reception la Venice. At this entertainment forks were used. The royal guest observed them with much Interest and immedi ately Introduced them to the French court. It seems from the account of the la dy. who had never used them before, that some others were in the same pre dicament. She writes: "They never touched the meat with their fingers, but with forks, which they carried to their mouths, bending thslr necks and bodies over their plates. "There were several salads. These they ate with forks, for It 1s not con- : ■ldered proper to touch the food with the fingers. However difficult It may be to manage it, It is thought better to put the little forked instrument in the mouth than the fingers. "The artichokes, asparagus, peas and beans were brought. It was a pleasure to watch them try to eat these with their forks, for some, who were less adroit than the others, dropped as many on their plates and on the way to the mouth as they were able to get to their mouths. "Afterward a great silver basin and pitcher of water were brought, and the guests washed their hands, though It seems as if there would not be much scent of meat and grease on them, for they had touched their food only with those forked Instruments."

At times the river moves so smoothly and peacefully that you are almost lulled to sleep by the gentle purring of the wa ter, that constant eddying and washing sound that Is distinctive of the Missis sippi Then, again, the water will swirl angrily around a hidden snag or rush ing with impetuosity against the yield lng bluffs It will eat into the earth, and tons of dirt will nimble down only to be absorbed and swept away.

Origin of Texts. The custom of taking a text as the basis of a sermon originated with Ezra, who. accompanied by several Levites In a public congregation of men and women, ascended a pulpit, opened the boon of the law and, after a prayer, "read In the book In the law of God distinctly and gave the sense and caus ed them to understand the reading." Previous to the time of Ezra the patriarchs delivered In public assem j blie* either prophecies or moral instruc- I tions, and it was not until the return ; of the Jews from the Babylonish cap tivity, during which they had almost ; lost the language iu which the Penta teuch was written, that it became nec essary to explain as well its to read the Scriptures to them.

The distinguishing feature has been the unparalleled interest of men in spiritual things Men everywhere! seem to be hungry for the gospel. The Young Men's Christian Association stands in a unique position to lead in this great work. I prophesy that we are on the eve of the greatest religions awakening the world has yet known." Hou. John H. Converse, Di. James i I Vance, Dr. Howard Agnew Johns- i ton. Dr. Alexander Patterson, Dr. Frank Crane, Don O. Shelton and oth ers follow in like vein.

Great audiences of men from 800 to 3.000 are brought together in the tlieatres Sundav afternoons to listen to a direct evangelistic address, where it is the rale rather than the exception to see from a score to 100 men announce their decision to live the Christian life.
