MacFarlane, Librarian ol the Philadelphia Commercial Mu seam last- night addressed the teachers of the county and some others in the High School auditorium on the sub ject of Japan, dwelling princirallv on the products of that country. The ob ject of the address was to interest the educators of the county in the Phila delphia Commercial Museum and its proposition to furnish free to the schools of the Common weal th a col lection of the wide range of exhibits that make op the museum Dr. W. P. Wilson of Philadelphia is a director of the Commercial Museum mud a leading spirit of the enterprise, whioh has as its object (he advance ment of popular education along the line of commerce. The museum was first fostered by the City of Philadel phia,but during the last session of the Legislature an appropriation of |25,- 000 was made by the State to enlarge the museum's scope of usefulness and to make its exhibits available to all the schools of the State. In this way will be met the need for education in regard to commercial products, the better fitting children of today for the duties that will come to them later in life as the future merchants and man ufacturers of this country. The Commercial Museani has already some seven hundrjd collections out in the State, each collection comprising about four hundred exhibits, three hundred being actual products and one hundred photographs. Pretty near ly the whole world is represented m the collection with the exoeption of the European countries,which furnish but few specimens. Three hundred collections are pacK ed up at the museum and may be had by the schools for the asking, all that is required being that the looal mem ber of the Legislature endorse the ap plication and the school district re ceiving the collection agree at its own expense to provide suitable cases for the exhibits. The ca*es, it is true, form an item of cost which iu some instances may deter the school authorities from avail ing themselves of the collection. Mr. MacFarlaue, yesterday stated that to display the collection to the best ad vantage it would require six shelves, each thirty feet long. At some places less spaoe is oocupied by paoking the photographs in a drawer and placing on shelves only the actuil products. Where the cost is not a factor the waot of available pace for the collec tion sometimes stands in the way. The (olleotion will add immensely to the interest in the study of geography and it is likely that iu view of ail the cir cumstances neither of the above ob jections will be permitted to weigh too heavily. Mr. MaciTarlaue'd address last night proved very interesting. As above stated he restricted himself wholly to Japan, which sufficed as a specimen of the whole Among the immense num ber of exhibits from the land of the Mikado were the following of especi al interest: Silk fggs, cocoon, moth, mulberry leaf, raw silk, wild silk, of which pongee is made; also tea, me thod of firing and other processes necessary for preparing tea for mar ket; rice plant, rice unhulled. also hulled—polished ant? cleaned for mar ket. There were photographs Illustrat ing Japanese customs, showiDg the various kinds of Japanese shoes, Jap anese carpenters plauiug backwards, Jlnrikisha or carrying ohair aud man and donkey goiiig to market in which the harness and the shoes of both man aud donkey are made of rice straw.

When the merchant robs the trea | sure house of its wonderful jungle an imals,its marvelous mechanical toys, its , miniature toys, its miniature men and | women that walk and talk, and places them on display behind big plate glass windows, he has opened the portals of Wonderland to the little men aud wo ( men whose nightly visions are filled with galloping reindeers drawiug a ' sled containing a portly old gentleman I with a toy filled sack 011 his back. He has taken Young America by the hand t and led him into the vestibule of the p house of mysteries, whtre all the toys | that delight the childish heart are kept in heaping piles. There are countless boys aud girls in this town whose little hearts will yearn to possess just one of these toys, whose only yuletide happiness will be togo with father or mother on Satur day night or Sunday afteruoou for a | walk through the shoppiug district, ' with its bifj buildings that make timid I little souls afraid. And these smudgy 1 youngsters will flatten their noses 1 I agaiust the window panes and with r hungry eyes devour the bewildering array of toys arranged in symmetrical profusion before them. All the long ) ing of their ardent natures will surge through their little bodies, but the joys of being able to behold these i wonderful things will linger in their ' memories aud make brighter the t gloomy days that travel in unhrokiu succession for them. ' Every merchant should endeavor to make the best possible window display > of his wares, not merely from the ' sordid standpoint of commercialism, I but with the laudable desire to please the fancy of the beholder and give to the little ones at least a glimpse of the ' many wonderful things that the gen ius of the artificer has wrought for ; the amusement aud delight of the lit > tie men and women of today. 1 No merchaut should cover his dis ; play wiudows on Sanday with cur tains. Many poor children will have ! no opportunity to view the toys on display. It isn't much of a boon to confer, hot such as it is should he given williogiy,freely, in the thought and belief that it may bring a momen tary happiness to some poor little soul that is starviug for the pleasures of childhood, for the joys and toys of youth—that looks, longs, and hopes, but always and ever holds out an empty hand.

Shultz, Secretaiy of the local Board of Health, is preparing to send a sample of our river water to the 1 hiladelphia Laboratory for analysis. The low stage of the river during a month or so past together with the pollution of the Stream by Asylum sewage and the prevalence of typhoid fever at Berwick and other points above us has had the offoct of making many people solicitous as to the pur ity of our water supply. The Board of Health has confidence in the gener ally efficacy of our filter plant and re gardless of the condition of the river have doubts whether bacteria or im purity in any form will be found in our hydrant water. To quiet all fears, however, they have decided to test the matter and will procure an analysis as above related. There was a nine foot flood on the river yesterday and the water was still rising. Naturally, the immense vol ume of swiftly flowing water is rela tively free from sewage or any trace of pollution from infected towns and the river at present one would think 1 would be the last place to look for bacteria whatever its condition may be in other respects. Dr. Shultz yesterday stated that he would take the water to be aualyzed from the reservoir at the filter p'ant, where iu his opinion conditions are about the same as existed before the rise in the river It will be some days before a report as to the purity of the water will he received. Meanwhile 1 with the river at its present stage the public will rest with a feeling of com parative security,although where boil -1 ing the water has been practiced it would not be inadvisable to continue the precaution IT IS SERIOUS. Some Danville People I'ail to Realize the Seriousness. The constant aching of a bad back, The weariness, the tired feeling, The pains and aches of kidney ills 1 Are serious—if neglected. Dangerous urinary troubles follow. A Dauville citizen shows you how to avoid them. John B. Hollister, puddler. of till Mill street, says: "Some years ago 1 1 suffered from distressing kidn>'y and bladder weakness which had clung to me for some time. I also was annoyed with severe pains right across my loins so severe at times as to almost prostrate me. The kidney secretions were very annoying and painful aud too frequent, particularly at night. I used a number of remedies but with no apparent effect. Doau's Kidney Pills were recommeuded to me aud I used them. The result was a perfect cure. I can recommend Doau's Kidney Pills as beiug all that is claimed for them." For sale by all dealers. Prioe 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doau's— aud take no other State College Strike Settled. The students' strike at State Col lege, which has caused so much ex citement and conjecture as to the out come, was settled yesterday and the men will all start ou their regular col lege work this morning. It was entirely through the interven tion of the Trustees of the college that a settlement was made possible. The Faculty has all through the trouble shown but little disposition to treat with the students ou tin subject of their grievances. Yesterday morning the Trustees of the institution met the students at a mass meeting and the whole matter was thoroughly aired, both members of the Board of Trustees 1 and of the student body making spaeches on the subjpet. The meeting ended by the appointment of a com mittee of three studeuts who were to meet with a committee from the Trus tees aud Faculty, the student commit tee to have full power to sittle the strike if they saw tit to do so. The three cornered meeting took place yesterday afternoon aud lasted until evening. The students gained a number of coucessious among them be ing that no student would be suspend ed for participating iu the strike: that cuts taken ou holidays should not count as excess cuts; that on Thanks giving vacations iu the future the vacation will either last over uutil Monday or be but oue day long; and that no cuts be given for absences dur ing the strike. NOT FOR BOYS. In view of the fact that we are soon to have a bowling alley in operation here it may be of interest to boys to know that they will not be permitted to loiter about the alley, 110 matter IIDW tempting the place may prove to be. There is a law, which is being enforced all over the State, making it a misdemeanor for persons conducting bowliug alleys or billiard or pool rooms to employ or harbor boys uuder eighteen years of age. Judge Staples at a previous term of court in this county called attention to the recent law aud insisted that it bo enforced. The proprietors of the new bowliug alley are known to be very careful to see that the law is not violated and that boys under eighteen years are kept away from the alleys. Girls Not Anxious to Marry. That Stroudsburg girls are having too good a time to think of marrying is given out as- a reason why the thirty odd youug men, members of the Ush ers' association of Methodist church there are still siugle Monday even ing was the time set by the Rev. Dr. Bennett,pastor of the church, to marry ! fie young men free of charge, but no application was made. Dr. Bennett's church is full of mai riageable men, and he wants to see them mated, believing that it will in crease their interest in the church. The men appear willing, hut, a< oue put it,"the girls appear to be in no | hnrry to become hitahed to serious , church members.''

I „ IBIIBEG APPROACH I ON SOUTH SUB 1 The case against the Commissioners ' of Northumberland county for main taining a nuisance in connection with tho approach to the bridge on the South Side has been settled and peace once more reigns b'tweeu the Super visors of Gearhart township and the Board of County Commissioners. The temporary approach is to do service until January Ist,when the new board assumes control. The approach at the South Side has beeu the source ot much contention ever since the completion of the bridge. The approach was declared a county improvement by Judge Savage, but the Commissioners refused to enter upon the work and the roadway at that end of the bridge lay in an unfinished state all summer and autumn On September 27th the County Com missioners—Messrs. John Beck.George W. Kaudeubush and Allen W. Cooner who refused to cirry out the Judge's order, were returned to Court by Con stable Bruce McOrackan, who request ed that they be indicted aud tried on r the charge of maintaining a nuisance at South Danville, of negligence and of failure to do their duty. On the 1 strength of this return Judge Auten I directed the District Attorney to pre sent a bill to the Grand Jury. On September 28th the County Com missioners appealed the order of Judge Savidga making the bridge approach a o unty improvement and took the mat ter to the Supreme Court. On Septem ber 29th a true bill was returned by the Grand Jury. The September term of court, however, adjourned ou that day and the case was carried over to December couit, wli-n it was under stood it would come up for trial, un less in the interim the County Com missioners proceeded to build the ap proach. A couple of weeks ago the Commis siouars fixed op the approach tempor arily,expending probably one huudred dollars oil tin work. Ketaiuiug walls were not built and no one could claim that the improvement was anything like what WHS implied by the Court's r ord' r. Accordingly when December court I couveued iu Notthnnibeiland coouty, I Monday, Messrs. Baylor and Richarts, 1 Supervisors of Gearhart township, ac -3 companied by eight witnesses went l down to Soubory prepared to push the r prosecutiou As above stated, how t ever, the case did not come to trial, g The County Commissioners made a i proposition look ing to settlement and I had a long tall; with the Couit. The i peudiug appeal of Judge Savidge's or -7 der probably helped to influence mat- I teis a little ;at all tv> nts a settlement t was agreed upon. The Supervisors r were determined to obtain the best r terms possible for the township and would agree to nothing less than that the County Commissioners should pay j for the work done on the approach and - all the costs of lhi case. The'-e terms weie reluctant 1? acceded to, which makrs Gearhart township victor at the present stage of the game. Judge Savidge stated that when tha County Commissioners enter npou office iu Jauuary, he will accompany j them to South Danville to look care fully ov«r the ground aud that he will eudeavorto have a suitable approach bnilt, one that will meet the demands r of traffic and conform iu appearance , with the geueral structure.

The fact is well known that Mr. (ioeser is one of cur busiest as wfll as most enterprising citizens. His excu e was regarded as a good one aud his lesignation was ac cepted. At the same meeting Mr. W L. Me- Glure, Cashier of the First National Hank, was elected Treasurer of the Soldiers' Monument fund and yester day the formal transfer of money was made. There is no intention to permit the work of soliciting to lag but every effort will be put forth to raise the money needed for a monument before spring. The next phase of the work will be the collecting of money already sub scribed and for this purpose the solic itors will during the next few days make another trip over the territory canvassed.

Under its working tlie office of Dr. G. Sliultz, Secretary of the local Board of Health,becomes the 3 repository of a vast array of classified facts respecting the health of the com ' muDity. The Secretary's report for the last period shows two cases of erysi pelas. four cases of diphtheria, nine ' cases of typhoid fever, one case of chicken pox, one case of pueamonia. s The law provides that as soon as a 1 case regarded as communicable breaks • ont the attending physician must at 7 ouce report to the Secretary of the local Board of Health, setting forth 1 along with the nature of the disease ' the name of the patient, occupation, ' country nativity, age, sex, color, ad dress, county, date of onset, name of " householder, occupation of household -5 er, number of school children and r school. To facilitate the transmission 3 of this informatisn blank postal cards furnished by the municipality are pro l vided, so that all the busy physician 1 has to do is to fill in the data requir -5 ed and mail the card. At the expira ' tion of every seven days the Secretary - of the Board of Health in turn makes 1 his report to the State Department of Health, also using specially prepared blanks, which greatly facilitate the work. ' The list of diseases considered com ' ; municable to be reported is a very ' large oue. The more familiar diseases on the list are cerebro-spinat menin gitis,chicken pox.cholera, diphtheria, 1 dyseutery, erysipelas, German meas les, glanders, hydrophobia, malarial ' fever, measles, mumps, pneumonia, ! scarlet fever, small pox, tetanus, tub erculosis, typhoid fever, typhus fever and whooping cough. Oue of the objects accomplished by the new law as the result of the very full information sent in, will be to en able the State Department of Health ' not only to locate every epidemic but 1 to trace the disease to its origin and 1 to note its spread and development. ' The regular reports sent into the 5 State Department, too, when printed in the newspapers as they ought to be, will serve to keep the people posted ■ on the state of the public health and quiet many exaggerated and alarming ■ rumors as to the prevalence of dis t ease.

The eveu tenor of life at Wash ingtonville was ruffled Monday by two fires, one of which was quite ser . ions aud caused a great flurry of ex citement iu the little borough. The fire occurred in the frame dwel ling house on Church street owned by Mrs. Sarah Gromley and occupied by, Watson Diehl aud family. Mr. Diehl discovered the fire abont 8 O'CIOCK iu the morning. It was located between the kitchen ceiling and the floor of the room above, having beeu caused by the flue of the kitchen stove. The fire had already gained a considerable headway an I was burning liercely when discovered. Mr Diehl immediately gave the alarm and a bucket brigade was quick ly formed. It was impossible to get at the fire until a considerable portion ot' the ceiling and floor above had been torn away. This accomplished the fire was soon extinguished. The loss is estimated at SSO. The second fire, which was discov ered before it had gained much head way, occurred about 2 o'clock in the home of William R. Robinson, Market street, and was peculiar in that it was located in tho same place and was ! started by the same cause as the other. McGlellan Diehl, passing the house, saw the smoke issuing from the roof aud notified the Robinsons of their danger. The fire was easily extin guis lied.

I RUNAWAY ON SOOTH SIDE The horse belonging to the Balti more Fruit Company, whose store is jon Mill street,ran away at South Dan ' ville Saturday morning and made a j wreck of tlife wagou. The vehicle was a covered one of I the usual sort used for delivery pur poses. It was being driven by a boy connected with the concern, who was returning from the Pennsylvania sta tion. .Tust as the wagon turned the corner at Peter Rurgei's the trolley ! car came down oft the bridge. The horse at once became unmanageable. The motorman as soon as possible brought the car to a stop and did what be could to avert an accident. The boy, however, was uuable to hold the i horse and the latter made a dash for | the bridge. At the foot of the ap ! proacli the wagon upset and the lat i ter with the boy inside rolled top first down against the fence. It was a most perilous position for the driver, but fortunately as soon as the upset occurred the horse stopped short. As it was, however, the boy's foot became entangled in the mix-up iu such a way as to tear the shoe from his foot, severing the leather from toe to heel just above the sole. The top of the wagon was a total wreck. The owner estimates his loss at fifteen dollars.

There has been such delay in Wint er's coming that the big dry goods and clothing stores do not care to have Christmas shopping pushed too strong ly by the pap j rs until the winter wares are disposed of, for after the holidays many householders think Winter is almost half gone, and they can do without heavy goods, etc., for a short period. Nevertheless most,if not all, our stores are ready for the Christmas shopper, aud the fact re mains that less than three weeks of shopping remain until Christmas Eve. There are a great many people who do not get their pay envelope,or have the means before, to make their holiday i purchases uutil the last week, co»ple days, or day before Christmas; but there are just as many people who have ready money aud who intend to make purchases, who can boy, as far as their purse is concerned, just as well now as two weeks later, and it is such folks who are advised to do Christmas shopping now. Those who are wise will seize the day. The shops are full of Christmas specialties. There is no time for choice like the present. Aud in the flurry of the pressing moments at the end there is no place for deliberation and full satisfaction. Every year the women folks wear themselves out and suffer discomfort and eveu misery in the crush aud hustle ■ of the closing hours of the aute-Christ mas period. Every year the salespeo ple and clerks in the shop* are dis tracted and overworked to meet the de mands of the people who come at the , last minute to fill out their lists, in considerately and perfunctorily. What is the result? The purchasers make many mistakes, there are misfits in the presents which they secure, aud there is discomfort all along the line. Advance your Christmas shopping by a few weeks aud you will get bet ter satisfaction iu the result aud the usual holiday congestion will be re lieved.

The husband uid father probably so sadly bereave I is Jacob Weimer, the Hebrew shoemaker on Lower Mul berry street, near the rear of Divel's meat market, who plies his vocation with a heavy heart as the dreary days slowly pa«- —doping and praying for some tidings trorn his loved ones in the distant laud of the Czar. Days grow into weeks aud the dreadful and portentous silence remains unbroken. Littie wonder is it that at times the shoemaker Icj-hs heart and that what was at first (inly a sus|>icion in hia mind becoun s almost a settled con viction that his wife and children have fallen in the massacre. Jacob Weimer is a native of Kish enev and lias been in this country two years and eight months. He is an in telligent.frank open-hearted little fel low and has marie excellent progress since in America, acquiring something more than a smattering of our langu age and saving sufficient money to 1 send for his wife and children at 1 Kisiieuev. It is, however, just at this stage when all his plans,for the furth erance of which lie labored so devoted ly. were ab)uc to be consummated 1 that suspense and uncertainty steps io 1 and he is left iu doubt whether he i will ever see his loved ones again. He has good reason to entertain fears. On S»tuiday it was five weeks aud two dajs since he had purchased ' tickets for his family at Vienna and by Post Offiue Money Order sent a snug sum to his wife sufficient to pro vide for the comfort of herself and ohildren during the long journey to America. It has been doring this in terim that the most terrible massacres have occurred at Kishenev. The ex ! treme limit of time required to bring a reply from Kishenev expired last i week, but t lere was no reply from the shoemaker's wife nor a line to indi cate that the funds sent by money or ' der had beeu delivered. It was with the hope of hearing some such news as the above that the man endured such suspense last week. These are troublous times in Russia and the man can onlv hop? that the delay may have ! beeu caused by the general disorder and not by murder aud death. This I encourages him at moments when he ) is incline 1 to abandon all hope. It is still possible that this week may bring tidings that will quiet all fears. Jacob Weimer may well dread the results of tlie uprising against the s Jews. He was a resident of Kisbenev aud lived through, the dreadful mas sacre there a few years ago. His de i scriptiou of the 1 howling mob, the cruel knives and other weapons with which they were armed, the dead and t the dying and the streets red with - blood, as is very natural was realistic I in the extreme and quite sufficient to * chill one's blood. Our shoemaker was ! marked for the massacre on that oc ? cation; his house was invaded and I gutted, but lie secreted himself and ' family iu a little loft or compartment ■ under the roof aud thus escaped the i frenzied and excited mob. i The shoemaker keeps close by his side iu the little shop a card contain ing the photographs of liis wife and four children—three boys and one girl —sent recently from home, and which > he shows to his friends with marked pride. One is struck with the bright j and intelligent faces and the tasteful manner iu wliicg each one is dressed, . there being nothing about the group I to suggest the ordinary Russian em -3 igrant as he turns up in the coal re giou and some other sections. j The Oldest Wines in the United r States. ; Family wines that rival the world ! in 'excellence are from Speer's old Vineyards, Passaic, N.
