PMffIMS OF
FOEESTRy LAWS
The fire on Montonr Ridge, which
has prevailed during two days past,
has suggested some facts relative to
the Forestry Laws, which it would be
well enough for everyone to know.
This is especially true in view of the
fact, that.if any credence is to be giv
en to stories, the fire in question was
wantonly started by a crowd of boys.

ICE FOR HEATINC3.
Oar of Ihr OtlilitW-K «>f Oar Modem
Clvllixatlun.
The use of ice for heating purposes
ia one of the oddities of our modern
civilization. Often it happens that a
train carrying fruit from the south to
the northern market encounters a cold
spell while en route. If the tempera
ture goes below a certain |K)int the per
ishable merchandise will be ruined.
Bat such a misfortune may be prevent
ed by covering the fruit car with a
coat of Ice, a thing easily accomplished
by turning a hose upon it and allowing
the water to freeze until the whole ve
hicle is enveloped in a irlassy and glit
tering blanket.
It may, indeed, be appropriately call
ed a blanket. Inasmuch as it prevents
the radiation of heat from the interior
of the car. The ice being a good non
conductor the warmth is retained and
the fruit, or possibly it may be vegeta
bles. goes on its way unspoiled even
by zero weather.
Cars used for transporting oranges
and other fruit from California to the
east are often provided nowadays with
large cylindrical "ice stoves," as they
might be called, at each end, which,
while useful in summer time for re
frigeration. are tilled with ice during
a cold spell in winter. When the tem
perature outside is at zero or below,
the Ice, at 32 degrees I'., Is compara
tively warm, and thus the "stoves" de
»cril>ed act as heaters.

Dr. Baruardo, the great London child

theories of heredity and criminal phys

graphs of two well known men and
showed the faces only to the expert.
"One," he said, "is that of a once noto

a notably good man. Tell me which is
which." Without hesitation the expert
designated one of the photographs as
that of the notorious criminal. Dr.
Bernardo was triumphant. The expert

A tynlrk Delivery I,efter.
It Is a curious fact that a century
and a half ago a letter traveled much
faster than ever it has done since. It
was in 1753 that Lord March made a
heavy wager that he would cause a
letter to be conveyed 100 miles within
an hour. liis lordship engaged a score
of cricketers, all expert throwers and
catchers, had the missive inclosed In a
ball. ami. arranging his men at inter
vals in a circle, got them to throw the
ball as swiftly as possible from one
to another. At the end of the hour It
was found that the letter had traveled
almost exactly 120 miles —Era Maga

earning his living as a cab driver. He
has taken this step to spite his divorced
wife. Wherever he went she put a Hen

DANVILLE WINS
PRtW (LAME
In a fast and excitiug game, played
at the Armory Monday eve, the Mon
tour Basket Ball Association five de
feated the strong Monarchs.of Wilbes-
Barre, by the score of 57 to 22.
The game, notwithstanding the un
even score, was hotly contested from
start to iiQish, and was one of the
prettiest games that has been played
in Danville this season. The plaving
of both teams was remarkably clean of
fouls and unnecessary roughness.
The Wilkes-Harre boys, under the
management of D. J. Morgan, were at
some disadvantage, owing to the fact
that they had been used to playing un
der other rules than were used at last
night's game. Also the visiting team
was heavily handicapped by the ab
sence from the line up, on account of
sickness, of two of the Monarch's
strongest players.
The local five put up a remarkably
clean game,passing quickly and shoot
ing accurately. Russell added to his
already good reputation as a guard.
He was credited with (? goals. Peters
equalled this year's reoord with 12
goals.
The line-up:
Danville. Wilkes-Barre.

No Spitting in Trolley Cars.
The Danville and Bloomsburg Street
Railway Company will positively pro
hibit the practice of spitting on the
floor of the cars, which at times in
the past has proven a very great an
noyance.
During the mild season open cars
are run or windows are likely to be
open, if closed cars are employed, so
that the man with whom spitting is a
fixed habit can iiad no excuse for soil
ing the floor. The season is now at
hand when open windows are the ex
ception rather than the rule and the
company anticipates more or less trou
ble in dealing with the class of offend
ers above named. Cards are being
printed at present which will be dis
played in the cars in a few days.
These set forth simply in effect that
all persons are forbidden to spit opon
the floor by order of the Board of
Health. Two cards will be placed in
each car so that by uo chance can they
escape the eye of anyone traveling on
the toad.
The traveling public will applaud
the company's efforts to break up a
very disgusting practice. There is
nothing more trying to a person of
delicacy and refinement than to enter
a car and find the floor of what is
probably the only available seat soil
ed by an indulgence in spitting.
Aside from the mere motive of keep
ing the cars clean and presentable it
is believed that nothing contributes
so much to the spread of infectious
diseases as the practice of £pitting In
public places, especially in closed cars
whether by tobacco users or others
who have fallen into the habit of
spitting. No thoughtful person will
find fault with the trolley company
for the step it has taken but will as
sist it in its efforts to keep the cars
clean and sanitary by living up to
the very letter of the new order.

CONFIRMED PROOF.
Residents of Danville oanno£ Doub* What
Has Been Twice Proved.

aches and pains of bad backs —from
distressing kidney ills—thousauds have
publicly recommended Doan's Kidney

testified years ago,now say their cures
were permanent. This tesrimonv doub
ly proves the worth of Doan's Kiduey
Pills to Danville Sidney sufferers.

Showing at P. & R. Station.
The showing made by the Catawissa
Division of the P. & R. Railway Com
panv, especially as it relates to the
local station, is a record breaking one,
quite in keeping with the great wave
of prosperity, which is now at its
height. This is especially gratifying
to the friends of Station Agent P. H.
I Foust. as it shows that his untiring
labors iu behalf of his company and
his uniform courtesy toward the pub
lic have not gone without ample re
ward.
The detailed statement which Mr.
Foust has made to his company for the
last ten months has revealed that dur
ing each month of this period thore
has been an increase of business over
the corresponding month of last year
and previously. During the month of
October the amount of business at the
local station with otie exception was
the heaviest ever handled since Mr.
Foust has bjen connected with the P
& K. Railway, a periol of thirty-one
years. This one exception noted was
in 1900 when the Bessemer Steel Plant
was in operation. During October last
the local business comprised 1150 in
aud out loaded cars,coal, merchandise
and freight generally being the com
modities handled.
Two switch engiues are constantly
employed. The crews of each live in
Oatawissa and there the engiues are
kept, bot no time is lost ou that ac
count, as each switcher in the mom
ing coming down to Danville for tl.e
day's work brines a train along aud
returning at nigilt takes another train
along back to Catawissa. They are
kept very busy here daring the day
and are often detained until after
dark. Last Saturday night was a case
in point when one of the crews was
busy hero until nearly 8 o'clock.
The station force, especially the
clerks in the freight department, are
kept correspondingly busy and long
hours especially for Mr. Foust are the
rule at present.
Prosperous Year.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, in
his annual report submitted to the
President, says that it is in the high
est degree gratifying to present evid
ence of the unprecedented prosperity
i which has in recent years rewarded
the diligence of the farmer and the
efforts of his department.
■X year of unequalled prosperity lias
b-en added to the most remarkable
series of similar years that has come
to the farmers of this country. Farm
: crops have never before been harvested
at such a high geueral level of pruduc
i tion and value. Corn has reached its
| highest production, more than 2,700,-
j 000,000 bushels, of a total estimated
value of |1,21#,000,000. Uav comes
second with a value of {(505.000,000.
Ootton is expected to yield #575,000,-
000. The short wheat crop of last vear
is followed by one of <i84,000,000 bush
els, and its value $525,000,000, over
tops the highest value ever before
reached. While only one crop, corn,
reached its highest production this
year, four crops—corn, hay, wheat
and rice—reached their highest value.

FIRE SWEEPS OVER
10NTUUR RIDGE
One of the most extensive mountain,
tires that has been seen here in some
years occorred Sunday afternoon,
burning over the south side of Mon
tour Hidge and approaching within a
short distance of town.
The fire broke out about 3 o'clock in
the vioinity of the old mine drift,this
side of the "dug road" about midway
between the base and the summit of
the ridge. The fire with the smoke
arising at the very beginning was
clearly discernible from the river
bridge. The thick coat of leaves on
the ground and the prolonged dry
weather made conditions favorable for
a bad fire. It spread rapidly and by
seven o'cock it had burned its way up
to within a short distance of the Bor
ough line.
In the darkness tha fire presented a
beautiful sight. The burned area was
defined by au immense circle of flame,
which extended from the top to the
bottom of the mountain.
Ab-iut this timi tho wind began to
blow from the W st pretty strongly
and sotre solicitnde was felt for the
Holy Family Convent, which is sit
uated at the base of the mountain on
the north side.
About this time th«* Constable of
Mahoning township as ex officio Fire
Warden, with a force of men. came
down Bloom road and passed on down
the river to fight the fire. Their ef
forts were successful and 110 serious
results ensued.
Judging from where the fire was
first se;ni wonld seem to be no
doubt bat that the woods were set on
tire. Those guilty of tho act may not
know the position tliev ate iu. The
law provides that any person who
shall wantonly and wilfully kindle
fires on lands of another so as to set
on Bre any woodlands, may on con
viction be sentenced to a fine of |3OO
and an imprisonment of twelve months.
Any person refu-ing without rea
sonable cause to assist in extinguish
ing forest fires when called upon by a
fire warden may be fined S2O or im
prisoned thirty days or both.
Fire Wardens receive 25 cents per
hour as compensa. ion ; those assisting,
20 cents per hour. One-half of this
expense is borne by tho county, one
half by the State.

Four Engines in Wreck.
Failure to obey orders, it is said,
was the cause of a c ostly wreck on the
Lewistown division of the Pennsyl
vania railroad ou Sunday. The accid
ent happened at Pawling, a Hag st i
tion, near Selinsgrove.
An east bound fright with two en
gines left a siding, according to re
ports, ag*iust orders and crashed iu to
another double header going in the
opposite direction, causing one of the
worst smash-u 11s the division has seen
ill years. The four engines were derail
ed and badly damaged, while five cars
were piled up.
The trainmen jumped iu time to
save their lives and were not injured
to any extent. Brakemau Dilley was
the worst hurt, sustaining a badly
bruised and twisted leg.
Wreckage covered the track and de
layed traffic nearly all day. The Sun
oury wrecking crew cleared up the
debris aud opened the road just before
dark.
Freight traffic ou the Lewistown
division is the heaviest it has been for
years and as no passeuger trains are
run on Satiday the officials take ad
vantage of the opportunity to clear the
tracks. Sunday's wreck, besides be
ing costly,served to make the congest
ed condition worse.

MUSIGALE WAS
DECIDED SUCCESS
Tlie mnsicale given on Saturilay
evening in the Pine Street Lutheran
charoh under the auspices of Mrs.
Alien Brooks' Sunday ncliool class
proved to he one of the leading music
al events of tlie season. It brought to
gether much of the leading talent of |
the city, and as number after number
was rendered the largo crowd which
filled the church to overflowing ap
plauded heartily.
On account of the length of the pro
gram it was intended not to respond
to encores, hot this idea had to be ab
andoned and the Ladies' Mandolin
Club, Master Harry Latimere cornet
soloist, and Mr. John Brooks, pianist,
of Bloomsburg, were compelled to re
spond to encores, which they did in
pleasing style.
This occasion demonstrated to tho
audience that Danville possesses music
al talent equal to the larger cities.
All the participants are to be con
gratulated oil the manner in which
they acquitted themselves, especially
the little children, Misses Mary Paules
and Kathorine Hoffman, who render
ed solos which would have done credit
to experienced singers, and which de
lighted their hearers. The Ladies'
Mandolin Club is destined to become
a prominent feature in musical circles
of tfie city and their playing on Sat
urday evening was thoroughly enjoy
ed.
Mr. Brooks, of Bloomsburg, who so
kindly assisted on tli3 occasion, is a
pianist whose equal has not appeared
in Danville recently and his wonder
ful execution simply captivated the
audience. It is hoped that our music
loving people will soon have another
opportunity to hear this gifted pian
ist. The musicale prove! a decided
succe=s along all lines.

Woods Too Dry for Hunters.
The hunting season up to the pres
ent time has not been very successful,
and unless rain or snow falls within a
day or so the hunters will be obliged
to return empty handed. Of course
snow is preferred, but anything that
will dampen the leaves in the woods
will serve the purpose. Old hunters
enter the same complaint—that the
woods are so dry that every movement
made by a hunter can be readily de
tected by the game. The layer of
leaves crackle under the feet of the
hunter and can be heard some distance
retarding successful hunting.
The rabbit season has been fairly
good so far Mmy have b-en slain. A
large number of deer have been seen,
hut comparatively few have been kill
ed.
The absence of snow, and the very
short open season, tho hunters who
have returned sav. will doubtless re
sult iu the saving of a big majority of
the deer that are in the woods, this
meaning that with a continuation of
the present law giving but fifteen days
open season, this game is bound to in
crease very materially. The rapid re
habilitation of the mountains that were
deuuded of timber is affording the
deer natural protection, and five years
hence there will be thousands upon
thousands of acres iu Central Pennsyl
vania that will give tho game seclu
sion.

Hunter flakes Confession.
Haunted by remorse for about three
weeks Howard F. Adams, a farmer
boy, of Lewistown, Sunday confessed
to Deputy Coroner Dr. George Little
that he accidentally shot aud killed
William B. Shock, 21 years old, also
of Lewistown, while hunting in West
Penn township.
Shock went gunning with two broth
ers. At about noon lie became separat
ed from them and the first intimation
that harm had befallen him was
when young Adams informed them
that a man had been accidentally shot
and was lying dead in the woods a
short distance away.
Ailarn-t told them that he had been
hunting close by aud that lie had
heard the report of the gun and a cry
and hurrying to the spot found Shock
breathing his last. He said that it was
his belief that Shock's gun had caught
on the low limb of a tree near where
the body lay, had fallen to the ground
and been discharged.
In his coufessiou Ada'us says that
he fired at a rabbit, killing Shock.
The family of the dead man will not
prosecute Adams arid neither will the
District Attorney.

WILL REPAIR
STATE HIGHWAY
A. li. Freeman, of Corry,arrived in
this city Saturday evening to super
intend the completion of the State
Highway between the Borough and
the Valley township line on the Maus
dale road.
This road,already an excellent high
way, needs some additional touches to
bring it fully up to the plans and
specifications. The road was damaged
considerably while in proces3of build
ing by the constant traffic to which it
was exposed, heavily loaded wagons
ploughing through and cutting up the
macadam before the road was in con
dition to withstand such pressure
Springs developed at several points
where they were not looked for and
during the long hard winter following
the road was injured somewhat by
water. The work that remains to be
done will provide for better drainage
at a few points and raise the orown
of the road where it falls below the
height required.
Mr. Freeman is at the City Hotel.
He is no stranger in Danville, having
spent several weeks here in the sum
mer of 15)04, while overseeing work
on the State Highway.
During the summer he has been in
Lancaster county where the Maryland
Construction Company were building
a State Highway.

SETTLEMENT OF JEWS
IN TEE UNITED STATES
The B'uai Zion congregation Friday
night celebrated the 250 th anuiversarv
of the settlement of the Jews in Am
erica in a manner that did ample hon
or to the event. The cozy synagogue
was literally packed, the full member
ship of the congregation taking in
Jewish residents of Bloomsbuig. Ber
wick, as well as of Danville bring
present ou the occasiou along with a
large number of our townspeople who
are members of che Christian chur« hes
The regular Sabbath evening ser
vices were conducted by Rabbi Joseph
Zeisler, aided by the Temple choir a*
far as the adoration.
Rev. M. L. Shiudel, D. D., pastor
of the Pine Street Lutheran church,
offered a ferveut and a very appropriate
prayer, which was preceded and fol
lowed with singing by the Keystone
Double Male Quartette.
Rabbi Zeisler gave a historical out
line of the Jewish emigration to the
Uuited States and the present activity
of the Jews. It was a most excellent
address. The Rabbi is a ready and a
forceful speaker and presented an ar
ray of interesting facts new to many
people.
The Jew, he said, is no interloper
or late comer, as many suppose. At
least five persons who were Jews ac
companied Columbus on his voyage of
discovery.
It was a coincidence, he said, that
during the year in which Columbus
set sail for the new world the decree
was issued banishing the Jews from
the kingdom of Spain. The Jews,3oo,-
000, in number, were thus obliged to
turn their faces toward strange lauds.
Very eloquently the Rabbi followed
the foituues of those of his lace who
emigrated to the Americau colonies.
Those who emigrated to New Amster
dam in 1655 were made up principally
of Spanish and Portugese Jews. To
these tolerance and freedom was deni
ed even in the new world and the
speaker with great feeling recounted
their trials and persecutions.
Iu Rhode Island under Roger Wil
liams aud in Penusylvauia under the
Penns, they were accorded llit» full
degree of citiz9uship. In Rhode Is
land they brought over with them the
degrees of Freemasourv. They came
to Pennsylvania about 1(555. These
were Qermau Jews. They did not set
tle in Philadelphia, but in the smaller
towns throughout the State.
This brought the narrative up to the
first settlement of the Jews in D.»n
ville, which occurred in 1840.the fir?t
to arrive being Louis Long and Jacob
Loeb, prominent meu. These were
snortly followed by others, among
whom were:Simou Elleubogeu.Heury
L. Gross, Moses Beruheimer, Moses
Blcch, aud many others whose names
are familiar to the Jewish people.
Mrs. James Scarlet rendered a solo.
Then followed the address of the even
ing by James Scarlet, Esq.
Mr. Scarlet's address ranked with
the best and most eloquent efforts of
his life. The vast array of facts pre
sented, each fortified hy history,burst
upon many people with all the force
and effect of a revelation. Following
is a synopsis of the address:
I come to pay tribute to the living
and dead of the most marvelous peo
ple the world has known. Of all the
stories of the sous of men, there is
none so wild.uoue so wonderful, none
so replete with suffering and honor, so
abounding in special providences, so
overflowing with romance as the his
tory of the Jew.
Egyptian,and Assynau, Romai and
Scandinavian. Tuik aud Russian, Priest
aud King, Crasader and Inquisitor
have conquered, exiled,robbed,tortur
ed, massaored and burned for thou
sands of years to exterminate the race;
yet all has been in vain. From every
olime, the Jew turns his face toward
Jerusalem witli tit at sublime faith of
Judaism, that in His own good time
Jehovah,the God of Israel,will gather
his wandering children iiome to sing
again the songs of Ziou and worship
in the temple at Jerusalem.
What learning, what art, what sci
ence which now pours its floodtide of
blessings upon maukind has not been
augmented by the Jew? Who could
write the history of Philosophy with
out the Dames of Philio, Maimouides,
Spinoza and Moses Menndelsohn.
Wire could measure the stars iu their
courses, weigh the sun and map out
the heavens without the aid of the
discoveries of Gamaliel, Mar Samuel,
John of Savilla. Judas Ben Hakohen,
Ben Samuel; Bon Israel Ben Gibbon,
Sir William Herschel, Sir John Her
schel, Goldschmidt, Boer aud Lowey?
Emblazoned upon the scroll of fame
in ttie law, Germany points with pride
to the name of Gans, Lasker, Gold
scmidt, France to Cremieux and Luz
atti; in Sicily, Austria to
Englaud to Sir George Jeaßcl, her
great master of the Rolls,to Benjamin
Simon, Goldsmith, aud Lewis and the
United States in every state of the
Union he is found pre-eminent at the
bench and bar.
Can the triumphs of England iu
statesmanship be written without the
name of Beaconsfield, or of Germany
without the name of Lasker, Manheiui
er and Gabriel Hesser or of Franco
without the name of her great Minist
er of Justice Creminx aud Achilefonld
four times minister of finatice under
Louis Napoleon aud a Commander of
the Legion of Honor.
For four hundred years ttie Jews I
have been the factors which supplied
the world with money and the fiuan
cial system which rules if today is the
inveutiou aud perfection of the Roths
childs.
And what of the Arts? Neander.the
greatest historian of the Christian
Church was a Jew. The highest auth
ority on Greek and Roman literature
is a Jew. The universities of Europe
and America abound with theiu a-i
teachers iu every department of learn
ing.
With what appropriateues-i can it be
said of the literature of the Jew Blot
out the Psalms of David, the Pro
phecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah, the
Sermon on the Mount, the glorious
promises of Revelation. the hope of
lesurrection and what literature gives
hope to tlie dying, consolation to the
mourning and the assurance of ever
lasting and eternal peace. You would
striae oil from tlie tombstones the ac
cents "Klet-st'd nre the dead who die
in the Lord. " Take away from the

Behold Thou art with me, Thy rod and

sohn, Helevy, Mverbeer, Offenbach
and Strausv aud see how poor in pure
and pleasurible delight aud beauty
you have left the human race. But
i this is not ui 1 nor a tithe of all oar
indebtedness. The greatest blessing the
Jew has conferrred upon mankind has
been the Bible. Both the Old and New
Testaments were written by the Jews.
The twelve Apostles were Jews.
And what wo.ild the world have been
without them
Jews were among the first to move
for the separation from England. They
distinguished themselves on the battle
fields of the Revolution. Captain Lush
iugtou cou: nan Jed a company chiefly
of Jews who fought with heartiest
bravery, Haym Solomon of Phila
delphia gave his whole fortune of
K'iOO.OOO to the cause aud not a penny
has ever been repaid. Benjamin Levy,
of Philadelphia, and Benjamin Jacobs
of New York, Samuel Lyon of New
York sacrificed their whole fortunes,
Manuel M. Noah, of Siuth Carolina
not only served in the amiy of Wash
ington's staff, but gave SIO,OOO to aid
the cause.
Wherever the Jew has found a home
there has dwelt with him the spirit of
philanthropy. In New York alone for
their twelve leading chantable institu
tions the Jews coutribute |570,000 an
nually.
Hospitals endowed aud supported by
Jews throw open their doors to suffer
ers irrespective of creed, color or na
tionality.
It is proven conclusively that neith
er the almshouse or the prison is need
ed for the Jew in this couutry. In 1899
I theie w< re just 98,000 Jews in the
I Unit'd States. The charities that I
, have spoken of were maintained by
just that number of Jews. What a
