A large crowd of people and a steady downpour of rain greeted him. It was the first rain he had encountered on his present trip but it neither dampened the ardor of the crowd at Carlisle, nor chilled his own spirits. He was dressing when the little town was reached, and at first did not intend togo out o i the plat form for there was no stop schedule there. But the country folk for miles around knew the train of the presi dent would stop there for water and sent an urgeut message to Secretary Loeb, asking that they be given au opportunity of hearing the executive. In some unaccountable manuer the telegram did not reach the secretary until atter the president had retired for the night, after a hard night in Alabama aud Mr. Loeb did not feel justified in waking him. As the train stopped at Carlisle the crowd let loose a chorus of cheers, a whistle some where iu the neighborhood set up au awful toreechiug aud the president had no lingering doubt that a large portion of his constituency was de manding his presence He sent for Secretary Loeb and asked him the name of the town and the cause of the unscheduled demonstration. "T!ißy are expecting to see you, Mr. President," replied Mr. Loeb, then explained the situatiou. "But I'm not dressed. I'm not fit to be seen. I can't appear in pajamas," exclaimed the president. "Why not put ou a rain coat?" ask ed the secretary. So the president did aud made the Carlisleites a little speech from the platform of the Signet. Just before the train left Birming ham last night Secretary Loeb and a local detective had au argument which resulted iu the sleuth's discomfiture. The detective rushed up to the presi dent's oarriage in the gloom aud the secretary warned him away. "I'm a secret service man," cried the stranger. "I don't care who you are," replied the secretary. "You must not get too near the president." The man advanced in spite of warn ing and received a staggering blow from the secretary's fist. He made ■'misdirected kick at the secretary's shins which struck nothing more solid than the atmosphere, then fell back luto the crowd uttering maledictions. The president's train reached Fort Root at 9 o'clock. HAS MRS. CUN LIFFE THE MONEY HARTFORD, Conn..Oct. 25. —When Superintendent Thornhill and Detec tive Praukiln Brown,of the Pinkerton agency, left here for Pittsburg last evenlng.they said they intended to get a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Cun liffe, wife of Edward C. Cuuliffe, the Pittsburg express robber who is at the home of her father in East Hartford. One of the detectives said last night that he believed Mrs. Cunlitfn knew where the missing SIO,OOO was that was taken from the express company. He expresed the opinion that the mon ey was brought from Pittsburg by Mrs. Cunliffe on the persons of her children. He said Mrs. Cunliffe'had made conflicting statements to them. Both Mr. Boardman.her father, and Mrs. Cunliffe deny that they know auythiug about the missing money and they both declare that they are perse cuted by the Pinkertons. TO REHODEL NIAGARA FALLS NIAGARA FALLS, Oct. 25 —Mosi gneur Laflaine, a distinguished Can adian geologist. Is making a survey and Inspection of the Horseshoe Falls, on behalf of the dominion government aud the Canadiau members of the in ternational Waterways commission, some of whom are here. The idea ap pears to be to determine howflpitt wat er of the opper river cm be diverted towards the Canadian channel with out causing friction with tie United States government. There is a question as to where the boundary line betweeu the two coun tries mounts the Horseshoe, the Can adians being inclined to think that in stead of being at the middle of the Horseshoe, it is at a point of rock not far out from Goat Island.

MINOR MATTERS OFJTEREST A real cariosity is ou exhibition at Garrison's store, Grovania, in the shape of two good-sized pumpkins, which are grown together much afti r the fasiiion of the Siamese twins. Uotli are perfectly formed and are separate and distiuot with the exception of a space some three inches square where the contact occurs. The twin pump kins were raised on the farm of George Mowrer. Another cariosity shown at Mr. Garrisou's store is a red beet which lias attained au abuormal size, weigh ing 14 pounds and 4 ounces. The lat ter was raised ou Mr. Garrison's lot by John Welliver. * * « Joseph Keely has had a Hag stone pavement put down in front of his property on West Mahoning street. T. L. Evans 1 Sons did the work. .Joseph Snyder is having a concrete pavement laid in front of his dwelling ou Graud street. O. B. Sweitzer has the con tract. All such improvements are to be commended, as it is a fact much to be deplored that on many of the leas important streets of town good pave ments are rather the exception than the rule and walking out after dark H a rather hazardous undertaking, ■t H « It is pretty evident that Danville is going to have its full share of foot ball tliis fall. By today or tomorrow bills will be posted annoncing a game at DeWitt's Park, Saturday between the Ex-High School Team and the East End Athletic Club of Mt. Car mel, a team of players recognized as the Champions of the Coal Region. It will probably be the most import ant foot ball event of the season. * * m The School Board lias not asy.it suc ceeded in securing a substitute for the Third Ward Priucipalship, nor a per manent teacher to fill the vacancy ex isting in the primary school of the Fourth Ward. All of which goes to show that in teaching as well as along other lines of activity during these prosperous times there are rather less applicants than there are positions to be filled. * # * Our local huntsmen still continue to try their luck, but it seems to be the same old thing—an empty game bag or one only partially filled. The gen eral scarcity of game is attributed to the depredations of foxes and hawks. On the game preserves during the coming winter, therefore, attention will be turned to getting rid of the foxes. Will Not Ring Be tween 7 P. H. and 7 A. H. Persons who have occasion to use the Center and Spruce street crossings of the P. & R. Railway should be very careful to read the new hoards explaining the operation of the bells ; they will then find that the signals are uot in service and that the bells will not ring between the hours of 7 p. m.and 7 a. m. In these columns yesterday it was inadvertently stated that the bells are off "between 7p. ru. aud 2 a. m." The error made will work no ill if persons in crossing do as is required of them, aud read the boards closely, when they will find that they "must not cross while the bell is ringing be tween 7 a. m. aud 7 p. m. CAN USE BOTH HANDS TUNKHANNOCK, Oct. 25.—There have been so many arrests in Wyom ing county for violation of the fish and game laws this year that Judge Terry has just handed down an opinion in terpreting the second section of the act of 1901 as prescribing what are the legal modes and devices by which fish may legally be caught. He holds in the case in hand—that of the commonwealth vs. W. R. Ber chaw—that it is not illegal to fish with a rod, line aud hook aud a baud line and two hooks at one and the same time.

Attention of supervising principals of public schools all over the State is being called to the provisions ol au act of the reient Legislature requiring "that a system of humane education, which shall include kind treatment of birds and animals, shall be included in the branches of study now required by law to be taught in the common schools; such instructions to be given to all the pupils up to and including the fourth grade of the public schools of the Commonwealth. The act requires that the principal or teacher of each school shall certify in each of his or her monthly reports to the school board that such instruc tion has been given in the school un der his or her control. According to the interpretation of State Superintendent of Public In structiou Schaeffer, the law will be observed, if, as opportunity offers.the teaching of kind treatment of birds, animals, etc., be co-related with the teaching of other subjects. This work will unite quite naturally with work in literature, reading, nature study and language. FLECTION PROCLAMATION The Election Notice is Herewith Published in the Form prescrbed By Law.

I MELISSA'S LETTER By Martha McCulloch-Williamj ('opyrtnlit, 11105, by Martha McCulloch-Williams 0 o It was rainy witliin and without. Melissa looked through dim ryes at the streamy window panes, the long slant lines outside. Her aunt Judith viewed them instead with satisfaction —they would serve so well to excuse Melissa's nonappearance at the ceme tery. Nobody, indeed, would k<> there but the men of the post, the fifers and drummers, and maybe a few fool poli-- ticians, intent on catching the Grand Army vote. Thus thought Aunt Judith to herself. As Miss Hill and later Mrs. Bent, Aunt Judith had not spent fifty odd years in Carinel town without finding herself able to forecast rather accu rately what the townfolk would or would not do. Until this season she had been stren uous In observing Memorial day. Even yet, notwithstanding her quarrel with the Farings and ail their tribe, she did not mean openly to slight the occasion. Fho did not mean either that Melissa should go along, the pet of thinning, gray bearded ranks, her arms full of flowers for the quiet green graves. Melissa wasn't a child any more—go ing on nineteen and with her head full of love and marriage. Neither Melissa nor Aunt Judith had kith or kin in ttie cemetery; there had been no man of their blood togo off to the fighting. All the same, Melissa had always saved her choicest blossoms for one especial mound, Private John Faring's grave. John Faring 3d, the private's great-nephew, had seen her do it, with openly worshiping eyes. "He's your Uncle John, too," Johnny had said, over and over, "because as soon as we grow up your name will be Melissa Faring." When a very young man proposes, his elders often dispose—otherwise. John and Melissa had found that out when Miss Adrlenne Day came on tiie scene. That was six months back. Miss Day had a temper and a big nose, but she also had a fortune in hand. Judge Faring and the madam were mightily taken with her, as she in re turn was taken with their son. So they had set to work to break off that childish affair between John and Me lissa. They were not mercenary, only thriftily ambitious for their one child. Therefore it seemed to them hard and cruel the way Mrs. Bent took fire at their well meant suggestions. Sell them her house and go away indeed! She would have them know if there was any moving done they might do it themselves. She would have them re member also a Hill had founded Car inel; also that the Tarings of that time hadn't amounted to much. But they were not to think that she was for hanging onto Johnny Faring. Good ness knew, Melissa could have better chances simply for turning over her hand. She (.Mrs. Bent) had felt all along that \\ itli her looks and her blood Melissa ought to look higher. But as to telling the child what to do— well, that remained with herself. Still, if Melissa had any Hill blood In her, it was mighty unlikely she would go into a family that didn't make her wel come. The Inevitable outcome was a break and a pair of sore hearts. Then fato took up the running and in cruel kind ness gave Melissa a fortune—a fortune twice as big as Miss Adrienne Day could show. Johnny Faring did not give up hope until he heard of it. Then he turned very white, and after a sleepless night shook the dust of Car mel from his feet. He could never go to Melissa and make her hear reason now that such going would seem shameless fortune hunting. As yet the fortune had made little outward change, except that there were no more customers coming to the Bent house, the old Hill homestead. ; Aunt Judith bustled about helping the j maid of all work, the while keeping a covert wateli upon her niece. • After a little she said, speaking half medi tatively: "Come on up In the garret, Melissa. A rainy day like this always makes me want to rummage. Besides, I've got j to get out the Hags. We'll put one j right on the peak of the porch ami the j other over the front door. Of course nobody'll see 'em. Even tills town j won't turn out in face of such a storm, but I Just can't let the day pass same as any other Even if the Hags do get spoiled we can afford to buy new ones." "Yes," Melissa said absently, "but— -1 don't feel like rummaging. Aunt Ju. I think I'll go write some letters in stead, if you don't mind." "H-in! Who to?" Mrs. Bent asked sharply. Melissa smiled wistfully. "I—hard ly know," she said. "Maybe I shan't write any—only sit and sew. It's about all 1 can do. I think there will be no getting out today." "There won't be. Take care of your- J self. Don't mope," Mrs. Bent said, hustling away. Melissa went softly to her own room, opened her desk and swiftly wrote three lines. Then she huddled into her waterproof and stole out very softly with what she had written tucked safely in tier breast. She crept through the garden, longing, yet not daring, to take the best of its bloom, darted through the gate and almost ran to the cemetery. On the way she stopped here or there to pluck roadside blossoms — white clover, folded dandelions, big, blue, scentless violets. All these she bound Into a knot with a blade of grass. It was not a big knot. It would hardly show in the long grass over a sunny grave. As she bent at last to lay it on the grave she thrust into it the note. Then, without a backward look, she hurried away. In a little while she was home again, with her absence undiscovered. She sat down by the window, but her eyes were no longer dim. Instead they looked out at the rainy world, bright and full of expectant hope. John Farina •>d had come home for A 5 Vegetable,liver pills. That \ \TII lIC what they are.

N. IL Memorial day and in spite of the storm went out to the cemetery. The post had come and gone—all the old fellows in carriages heaped with flow ers but somehow the graves did not look as he Temembered them. The flowers were humped and lumped and straggly. Private John Faring had not been forgotten, but his resting place especially was unlike itself. John 3d knelt down by it, heedless of oozy turf, and tried with mannish awk wardness to better its arrangement. Thus his eyes rested upon the knot of wild flowers and caught the dull gleam of sodden paper in the midst of them. Reverently he unfolded the note and read with blurred vision: T»« ar I'nelo John—l hriripr you all X can —tills year. Aunt Ju owns the flowers ami sh< hates your name. Isut I love it. John Faring Is the best name In tha world. 1 wish my name might be Faring. There was no signature. John 3d needed none. He bent and kissed tho knot of flowers, still fresh under tho pouring rain, then, with an unuttered prayer, turned about and went with long strides toward the Bent house. Melissa had called to him. He would goto her in spite of pride, in spite of unmanly fear. What if the world did scoff? He could endure It a hundred times over just to look once again into her ( yes and see happiness. He had been a jMward, no kin at all to the soldier . ieeping there in peace, to have let the quarrel of the elders sep arate him from his sweetheart—his sweetheart doubly dear In that she had shown herself thus brave. Melissa met him on the porch. The wet flag bravely strove to flutter in the rainy wind over tiieir heads. For a minute they stood apart, looking one at the oilier. Then John held open his arms, saying: "Darling. I found the letter, and I am never a»hig to leave you unless you say I must." "I say you must stay," Melissa said im ! i her breath and hiding her face in I. = lava-it. \nefionn In Krnnrf, The French mode of conducting auc tion ; is rather curious. In sales of iin p.ii i iv, such as of land, houses, etc., the affair is placed in the hands of a no; a; y, who for tho time being becomes an auctioneer. The property, what ever be its nature, is 'first examined b\ c impotent judges, who fix upon it a ! : ice, considerably less than its value, but always sufficient to pre vent any ruinous loss by a preconcert ed plan or combination of bidders. Tho property is then offered with the fixed valuation stated. Tho auctioneer is provided with a number of small wax taper-, each capable of burning about five minutes. As soou as a hi* is made one of these tapers is placed iu full view of all interested ivu'ties and lighted. If before it expires another bid is offered, jt it» immediately extin guished and a fresh taper placed in its stead, and so on until one flickers and dies out of itself, when the last bid becomes irrevocable. This stmplo plan prevents all contention among rival bidders and affords a reasonable time l'»r reflection before making a higher offer than the one preceding. By this means, too, the auctioneer Is prevented from exercising undue ln fluencc upon the bidders or hastily ac cepting: the bid of a favorite. V Qnt-eii'ii IHiiiiilrr. For some time after her marriage with Nap.ile >n the Empress Marie I.oulso was extremely ignoraut of the French language. On one occasion, seeing her husband look vexed over a letter he had received from the court of Austria, she inquired of him what was the matter. "Oh, nothing," replied Napoleon; "your father is an old ganache, that is all." Marie I<oulse did not know that this was French for fool and took the first opportunity of asking a courtier what it meant, say ing that the emperor had applied the expression to her father. "It means some one very learned and wise," stammered the unfortunate courtier. The empress was perfectly satisfied with this explanation and pleased to learn a new word. A day or two after she received the Archehaneellor Cam j baceres in a crowded salon. Some | question was being warmly discussed in the circle, and her opinion was asked. Wishing to be very gracious, Marie Louise turned to Cambaceres and said. "We will refer that point to the archbishop, for we all know he l Is the greatest ganache In I'arls."

All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. fThe kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized.
