Cbatles Battagiia, the well known
Italian Laboi Ageut, accompanied by
8. Alimena, of Hazl> ton, was in this
city vestetday. Mr. Alimena, who is
■ representative of V. Casazza& Bro ,
Importers of Italian and Kreu ih Pro
dace. New York, will in the future
serve in tlie capacity of commissary
for Mr. Battagiia, who is already be
ginning to marshal his sea'tered forces
of Ittlians and is preparing for an ac
tive campaign in the greit 8' Id of in
dustry kite coming seasou. Mr. Bat
tagl a iias over one hundred Italians
with him in Berwick. In a ronple of
days' notice, lie says, In coul t 1 »y his
hands on two hundred more, whil•> by
an extraordinary effort, if inductnal
conditions warranted it, he could
muster up five hundred men- Mr. Bat
tagiia has his eye ou several prospec
tive operations during »he coming sum
mer, which will employ Italians by
li e handrel. One of these is the Dan
ville and Sunbury El ctric railway and
th* other a proposition to buil i a trol
ley line from Sliamokin to Snnbury.
It is not generally known that there
■re some 45,000 Ittlians in this part of
the Stat , within a radius of fifty or
sixty miles of Scrauton Some of these

W. A. Hell T, of the Danville and
Sonburv Trolley Company is showing
the peoj le of this loo»li y something
entirely new in fauc> and up-to-date
vehicles. This is a "station wagon,"
which arrived in L>auv;ll3 Tuesday
night and will appear on the streets in
due time. "Station Wagon*' is a very
oomuiouplace term and to the unin
itiated conveys no adequate idea of
what a wagon of this kind is like.
The vehicle is intended for fam
ily use and is ornate and luxurious in
the extreme. Its exact style was never
before steu in Danville. A large sur
face of plate glass appearing at each
aide, back and front. The carriage
contains one seat in the enclosed
portion and another for two persons iu
the fro t wh'<re the driver will sit. It
is so arranged that the partition can
be removed and the vehicle thrown in
to one of two seats. Both painting and
upholstering are finished in maroon.
It is equipped wi'.h speaking tube,per
fume case, mirror and clock It is
made with half-Collins axle and every
clip is hand forged. No attempt will
be made to describe the carnage fully,
as it will appear ou the street frequent
ly and people will be permitted to
judge for themselves. J. W. Gerhard
of Allentowu manufactured the carri
age. It was purchased through Harry
Dieter.

|False Step Causes Death.
Johu Derr, a prominent resident of
McE weusville, accidentally shot him
self in the abdomen Tuesday,and died
about an hoar after the accident.
He was leaving t' e houfe to shoot
sparrow*,when lie slipped on the steps
and fell. The gun was discharged, io
flirting a moital wound.
A colony of sparrows had taken up
their residence near ttie Derr home re
cently and had become v.-ry annoying.
Tuesday morning, shorily before ten
o'clock, Mr. Derr concluded to scare
them away if possible. He >-ecuied a
breach-loading shot gun and started
for the yard. As he was going down
the step his foot caught and he fell,
the gun striking iu surli a position
that the cartridge was exploded and
the couteuts entered Mr. Derr's abdo
men.
His wife and Mr. Stahl were at
trae'e I by the noise, and were both at
bis side in a minute He was con
scious when tl ey reached him, and he
spoke a few words, bnt a moment lat
er became unconscious
Dr. Derr wa- at once summoned,but
he immediately realized the serious
ness of the wound. Everything possi
ble was done to save the nntortuuate
man's life but he died at 11 o'clock.
He forty-five years of age and
is survived by his wife.
Death Occurred lu^Bloomsbury.

much in lamest and so that no time
might be lost Architect Johnson, of
Philadelphia, was brought along, who
is to prepare plans and superintend the
construction of the temporary build
ings,be having been already employed
for this work under a special resolu
tion recently adopted bv the Commit
tee.
Sergeant at Arms Smith to whose
courtesy the AMERICAN represent
ative is indebted for much valuable
information relative to th>i subject in
hand, stated that it is a fact quite
noteworthy that the present Legisla
ture is impressed as no previous Leg
islature has bnon with the deplorable
state of affairs due to overcrowding in
the several hospitals as well a« the
necessity ou the part of the State of
adopting a liberal policy in dealing
with these institutions. The senti
ment, he said, is so marked iu its ua
ture that he feels sur« that relief is in
sight at least for the Hospital at Dan
ville, where conditions seem to be the
worst.
JAt the Hospital Friday none of
the Legislative party were disposed to
couceal their seutimeuts. They ex
ptessed surprise both at the i tiadequate
accommodations and the general lack
of facilities. They asked a greit num
ber of searching questions and seemed
amazed at the true state of affairs.
The incouveuience of gettiug coal to
the institution impressed them most
and they will uo doubt favor to the
man the appropriation for an electric
power and light plant where coal w
be easy of access. They also critcizeid
the use of the boilers installed some
twenty years ago and which taking the
reooguized life of a boiler into con
sideiaiioti they now considered as hav
ng passed the limit of 6afety. In the
matter of fire-escapes, too, they con
ider the Hospital woefuliy deficient.
Their long tour throughout the in
stitution, taking In the male and fe
male sides as well as the infirmary
was accompanied by the usual scenes
and incideuts.amosing and pathetic by
turns as tho e from the outside world
come in contact with the insane, which
were new aud a source of much in
terest to many in the delegation.
It was nearly one o'clock when a
tour of the buildings was completed
At that hour dinner was served to the
Legislative party and Trustees The
dinner aud what was served at the
Hospital wero the only refreshments,
with all that is impliel by that term,
that was furnished at the public ex
pense. As one cf the members aver
red the "two Pullmaus were barren of

the limit." Continuing tho gentleman
said: "Junketers will not get any
more refreshments from the State.
Sammy Pennypacker won't stand for
it."

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NOBLEST
OF ALL WILD ANIMALS.

tn M or Killiirt—The Alunkitn flail
Muour lluvr (he (Irralril Antlers.
The Cow HIIU Her I ngaiulr I alt.
Now and then In wanderings through
j the mountain and forest one comes up
; on a gigantic blackish brown deer
j which by reason of the great length of
j Its yellowish gruy legs stands higher
j than a tall horse. It. is clothed in
eonrse, bristly hair, longest on the neck
i and shoulders, and It has a rather ugly
! overhanging nose which distinguishes
j It at once from all other kinds of deer.
I From the throat of the male hangs a
| long hair covered appendage known as
tlie "bell," and In the fall and winter
! he has also a pair of wldespreadlng
j antlers, very heavy and much flattened
or "plauiated." He stalks tho forest
through undergrowth and over fallen
trunks like a king of giants, or, If
: alarmed, he speeds away at an arnaz
lugly swift swinging trot and with a
crashing which resembles the sound of
falling trees. Such Is the moose, the
; largest of all deer, living or extinct.
I The moose Is chiefly an animal of the
northern woods, the southern limit of
' its range being the head of Green riv
! er, Wyoming. It is also found in
i uortbern Maine, New Brunswick,
' southern Canada. Idaho, British Colum
bia, Alberta, Athabasca, Yukou and
Alaska. It Is strictly a dweller of the
; forest, seldom venturing to treeless
plains. It lives for the most part by
browsing 011 the leaves, twigs and bark
of trees, particularly young trees. In
order to reach the tops of tall saplings
I the moose rears up against them, strad
1 dllng tliem with bis long legs and lit
erally riding them down. He Is fond
est of birch, hemlock, alder, aspen, wil
low and maple He also eats mosses
! and lichens.
In May the "cow," as the female
moose Is called, gives birth to a long
legged, ungainly, tawuy colored calf.
! to protect which the mother will tight
i any woodland creature to the death.
; She has 110 antlers, but she can use
her great sharp hoofs with the skill of
a prize fighter and has been known to
pound to death a large black hear and
i fairly trample his body into the
ground. The calf stays with its moth
er for two or three years, or until he
! wanders off to seek a mate for him
self. One day last summer I came sud
j denly upon a cow moose standing knee
! deep In a shallow pond, while from
1 beneath her neck her grotesque looking
calf peered out at me with eyes wide
open, us if with astonishment. I hur
ried home and returned with a camera,
but when I reached the spot thev wero
gone.
Like all American deer, tho "bull"
moose sheds and renews his antlers
every year. They become full grown,
hard aud sharp about the Ist of Octo
ber, the beginning of the breeding sea
son. At this time of year the bulls are
very savage and not only fight furious
ly among themselves, hut are apt to
attack anything or anybody who comes
iu their way.
The call of the bull is a long drawn
bawl with several loud grunts at the
end. If there is 11 cow within bearing
she will answer with 11 low cry, and
the bull will couie forward to nip«»t
her. Hunters often take advantage of
this fact and attract the bull by an
Imitation of the call of the cow, exe
cuted on a cone shaped liorn made of
birch bark. Lying concealed ou the
bank of u lake or stream, they give
out the call, and when the bull comes
within range they shoot him. But as
this trick is usually played at night
and as the bull sometimes in", er gives
any warning of his coming until he Is
almost on the spot the sport Is apt to
be dangerous. The bull at such a time
is iu no mood to be trifled with, and
unless the hunter Is cool headed and a
good shot the moose is not only willing
but very able to kill him and a dozen
Jlke him if they happen to be on the
spot.
Probably the largest moose of which
there is reliable record was shot by
Carl Runglus, the animal painter. In
New Brunswick in 1001. This great
beast stood seven feet high at the
shoulders, and the length of its head
and body together was nine feet seven
Inches. Tlie Alaskan moose have the
largest antlers, and one pair from an
animal shot ou the Kenai peninsula
has a spread of seventy-eight and a
half Inches and has thirty-four points.
With the dry skull to which they are
attached these antlers weigh ninety
three and a quarter pounds, a weight
which nothing but an animal of gigan
tic strength could carry at top speed
over the roughest ground and through
thickly wooded country.
In the winter, when the snow is deep,
the moose, sometimes several families
together, will gather in a certain sec
tion of woodland and be breaking out
paths for themselves over a space of
perhaps several acres from what Is
known as a "yard," where, if not dis
turbed, they may stay for weeks to
gether. But tlie moose is able to travel
well at all seasons, and even In deep
snow his long legs enable him to move
at a pace which astonishes any hunter
who tries to run him down on snow
shoes.
A wild, free life is tho only one on
which a moose can live and thrive. In
captivity it Is much less nervous than
most deer and is dispose to be gentle
and affectionate. But, as a rule, it will
live but a short time, even though it
gets tfie same food which it had in Its
native woods. If may appear to relish
Its food, tint it will grow to no great
size and in a short time will probably
die of inflammation of the stomach.

tnals in the world, and it should be glv

THE BERTH OF A THEATER TICKET
SELLER IS NOT A SINECURE.

To tlit* average theater goer the man
who sits behind the wicket in the box
office and sells tickets seems to have
one of the sinecures of earth. True, he
Lhs to answer many f<»o! questions and
(leu I with many fool persons who are
often ugly because others with more
foresight have picked up early all the
go>Hi seats. He has to handle diplo
matically the woman who wants dollar
Seats for 7< r > cents and with the other
fellow who wants "first row, center,"
after the play has begun and that has
been sold for a week ahead. But all
these things seem but his share of the
minor ills of earth. Outside of them
apparently his Job Is what Is generally
known as a "snap."
But the man In the box office has
otl things to do besides sell tickets.
True, that is where he comes in con
tact with the general public, anil that
Is all that Is usually thought about his
duties. But at the same time he Is
serving the public he Is working for
two masters behind the scenes, the
proprietor of the house and the mana
ger of the attraction, and he must
serve them equally, while their inter
ests sometimes conflict sharply- Fur
thermore. he must serve them as
against the public If need there be. and
It keeps him hustling to hold his Job
to do It too.
The mau behind the wicket is a good
man If he can make you buy a seat
that costs you more than you Intended
to Invest to see that particular "show"
—all attractions in a playhouse are
"shows" In the parlance, be they opera,
comedy or vaudeville. Now. most men
thiuk they know what they are going
to get when they visit s theater, and
they especially have the price tlxed in
fclielr minds. Perhaps, psychologically
speaking, they are stronger minded
than the house treasurer. Then they
do get what they want, and he never
questions It But the average man is
not. The treasurer Is trained In ticket
selling it is his dally routine, while
It Is on occasional act on the man's
part. Hence he Is fortified for the pub
lie, and the latter Is not for him, and
so when the people step up, especially
If it Is rather late and there is some
thing of a rush, a clever ticket man
can easily get tlie extra price out of
them for a hixber selling seat.
How does he do It? Largely by the
power of suggestion. lie implies that
you want It, for Instance, when you go
up. In other words, he puts the ques
tion as to what priced seat by asking
you about the higher ones before he
mentions the lower ones, and when he
does refer to the latter, at your sugges
tion, he does it rather apologetically.
He has the higher rate tickets In his
band, and If you do not take them he
reaches to the rack for the others, and
all the time the line Is waiting, those
back of you are scowling, If not mak
ing remarks, and every one within ear
shot of the window knows that you
have refused the higher seats for the
lower priced ones. This Is embarrass
ing. Especially Is It so if a girl is with
you, waltiug Just outside the rati that
separates the mob from the line, and
the chances are 10 to 1 that you will
take the cue. Involuntarily, and pay a
quarter more, when you had no inten
tlon of doing so when you approached
the clover man in the box
That Is one way. It doesn't require
any falsehood It does require a good
knowledge of human nature. Some men
wouldn't "stand for" that. They would j
!>e offended, and it might hurt the
house. That Is for the treasurer to
beware. 110 must "size up" his cus
tomers and act accordingly.
There Is a great irnln In time In sell
ing without n chart. A man will then
step up and ask for a "good seat"
about s certain place. Running
through his lists, the seller finds him
something very near there, and he Is
satisfied That one mau is finished In
a few seconds. It would take minutes
If the sheets w ere there. Time Is Im
portant when the orchestra Is playing
and the curtain about togo up.
Still further, the absence of a chart
enables the seller to "dress" his house,
provided the sale Is light, and to keep
out "singles" If It Is heavy. "Singles"
are seats left alone when the adjoining
pairs have been selected from a chart.
"Singles" are hard to sell because very
few persons attend a theater alone. Al
most all seats are sold In pairs. A
treasurer with a bnnch of "singles" on
his hands, even with a house threaten
lng to sell out. Is "up against It,"for
often he will lose Bales that would
have meant capacity but for the fact
that he canuot place a couple In ad
Joining seats, though he may have sev
eral odd ones left
"Dressing" a house is the avoidance
of this condition In one sense, but it
applies to light houses generally. When
a show Is not doing well it is up to the
box office to make the house look full
even though li be only partly solid.
He does this by scattering the crowd.
Instead of selling a section solid and
leaving adjoin ig sections vacant he
sells a few her-', a few there, und thus j
the empty spaces are not concentrated, j
Men usually dress a house from the ,
center out. They will sell a good part j
of the center section, scattering, and
then will work out on the left and
light. This is because seats on the ex
treme edge of the house are not so
good, and people expect them to be va
cant except In a heavy house anyhow j
and do not notice thei# so soon He
knows his house like a book, and be |
knows early In the day whether or not ,
he will have a crowd. Hence he acts
accordingly.—Kansas <'lty Journal
