SHE VON WAGES
«r 12JILE m
Over the hills to Danville is every
step of twelve regulation miles, but
the trip by foot is only a jolly lark on
a moonlight night. At lea*t Miss Mary
Beaver, of Danville, a sister of Mrs.
Russell Kelly, of Sunbury, thinks so.
and she ought to know for she feasted
on "Huvlers" New Year s day lor
making the trip.
It was all the result of a dare. New
Year's eve a party of young folks gath
ered at Miss Bertha Cromwell's Dan
ville home to bid adieu to old 190.)
and welcome young Mr. 1906. Cards
and Raines not being available to hnrrv
off the old year 011 account of it being
Sunday, a moonlight -troll was sug
gested by one of the young gallants.
All agreed and pairing off in couples
the party sallied forth for a promen
ade. Conversation drifted from one
subject to another until finally it reach
ed romance and then "dares. The
latter proved to be Miss Beaver s loug
suit.
One of the young men about mid
night remarking that Miss Beaver did
not dare to walk to Sunbury,the young
lady quickly accepted the challenge.
Calling for a volunteer from the cot
erie of young men to accompany her
Miss Beaver was somewhat embarrass
ed in making her choice, as all were
"just dying" to serve her. Young Mr.
Paul Vauuau, however, was the chos
en one. With a merry hurrah from
the others as a send off, Miss Beaver
setting the pace, which was indeed
quite lively "the dare" couple crossed
the bridge to South Danville and
struck out over the hills tor Sunbury.
Ping pong ideas were cast to the winds
by Miss Beaver and pedestrian records
we re. smashed with ease. On more,
than one occasion her escort complain
ed of being tired and wanted to rest,
but she turned a deaf ear to all such
seemingly foolish ideas and kept cut
ting off mile after mile, while the man
in the moon with the smile that won t
rub off nodded his head in encourage
ment ami acted as referee. No foot
pads were met on the way and so lar
as is known the trip was without a
single sensational incident. But 7a.
m. New Year's Day when Mr. and
Mrs. Kelley came downstairs they
found the couple in their parlor and
were greeted tliusly, "Happy New
Year. Just came down tor a little
walk.''
Miss Beaver was as fresh as a lark
and coaxed her escort to tramp back,
but he was "all in"and they return
ed home on the train.
Miss Beaver was the "Lion of tlie
Hour" in Danville and feasted royally
011 Huylers and wears a brand new
pair of gloves at the expense of those
who reckoned unwisely about her
ability to accomplish big as well as
little things.—Sunbury Daily.
New Year's Entertainment.
The New Year's entertainment ami
social at the Y. M. <'. A. was some
thing of a de*i»arture this year, hut
notwithstanding proved a tine success.
A large number of people attended
tilling the hall comfortably. The so
cial was largely informal in its nat
ure,the people being at liberty to come
and go and to move about at pleasure,
the seats in the hall being arranged to
suit the occasion.
Some two hours were delightfully
whiled away. Delicious coffee and
ham sandwiches were served in the
adjoining room by the ladies' auxiliary
and nearly all present at some time
during the evening partook of refresh
ments.

JACOB WEIIER'S
JOYFUL NEWS
Unmistakably flit' happiest mini in
Danville yesterday was Jacob Wcinier,
the Hebrew shoemaker on Lower Mul
berry street, who hail good reason to
believe that liis wife and four children
had fallen victims to the cruel mobs
at Kishenev. The noon delivery of
mail brought him a letter from liis
wife, which conveyed the joyful tidings
that they were all alive and well—that
they had already got beyond the land
of the Czar with its bloodshed and
horror and were safe at Amsterdam
awaiting the departure of the ship that
is to bring them to tlte new world,
where lies safety, freedom and where
awaits them the love and protection of
a kind husband and father, who risk
ed so much for the little family's wel
fare, In two weeks' time, the letter
stated, they would all be in Danville.
The shoemaker laughed in his joy
and he fairly danced as lie told of re
ceiving the letter and tried to explain
its contents. His wife had written
that the children were on the tiptoe of
delight and expectation at the pros
pects of meetiug the father,from whom
they had been separated for nearly
three years. In the interim the baby,
six months old when the parting took
place, has grown to be quite a boy
as shown by a photograph received a
few months ago and is now wearing
trousers.
The shoemaker has only a short time
longer to wait until his family will
be with him. Not until then will he
know the full chapter of thrlling events
hat caused the delay in the mails and
prevented his family from sailing for
America as he had planned.
State (jives Pointers.
State Highway Commissioner Joseph
\V. Hunter has issued a bulletin sum
marizing the features of the new law
governing the election of road super
visors in townships.
The salient points, to which atten
tion is called, are : •
Beginning with the February elec
tion, every township of the sec
ond class in the State must elect three
supervisors. In any township which
now has three supervisors, or other
officers having charge of roads, elected
under existing laws, no new election
shall be required, except as the terms
of these officers expire.
The Board of Supervisors of each
township is required to organize on
the tirst Monday of March. < )ue of
their number is chosen chairman and
another secretary. The treasurer must
not be a member of the board.
The board is required to meet at least
once a mouth, two constituting a
quorum.
The sujtervisors receive no comi<en-a
tiou for their services, but actual ex
-1 tenses are to l>e paid. The treasurer
receives compensation not to exceed
p:-r centum of the money handled by
him. The secretary of the board may
receive payment for the work per

Upon a petition from af least twenty
live taxpayers, the Court of Quarter
sessions shall authorize a special elec
tion to be held at the time of the Feb
ruary election, when the question of
abolishing the work tax shall be decid
ed by a majority vote of the electors.
A township which thus abolishes the
work tax is entitled to receive from
the State a sum in cash equal to 15
jter centum of the actual amount of
cash tax collected by the township.
Each board is required to divide its
township into districts of not less
than five miles each,but there is noth
ing to prohibit the dividing of the
township into districts liaviug more
than five miles each, or one district of
the whole township. A roadmaster
must be employed for each district.
Road masters are required to work nit
on the roads themselves, to oversee
men employed and to carry into effect
the instructions of the Board of Sujier
visors. No member of the Board of
Sujiervisors cm lie employed a> road

able. make a contract with any citizen
of the township for keeping in repair
of not more than three miles of road.

DIED AFTER
BRIEF ILLNESS
Mrs. Mary Gallagher,mother of Miss
Rose Gallagher,the well known school
teacher of the Borough, departed tliis
life on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock,
after a very brief illness.
Mrs. Gallagher had been ailing only
for one week ; death was quite unex
pected and came as a great shock to
the family. She was able to be about
and along with her daughter was out
as late as Thursday evening. All ar
rangements were made for a happy
holiday week, but death came as a sad
ending.
The deceased, was the widow of
Michael Gallagher, who died about
eleven years ago. She was 73 years of
age and along with her husband emi
grated to this country from Ireland in
early life. It was before the days of
the railroad and the last stage of her
journey here was made by stage coach.
She was married in Danville and
resided here continuously until her
death. She was a woman of most esti
mable character, of generous impulses
and kind sympathetic nature. Her
demise has left a vacant place at the
fireside that never can l>e filled, while
throughout the neighborhood she will
be missed in many ways.
In addition to Miss Rose Gallagher,
the deceased is survived by three other
daughters: Catherine,the eldest,(Mrs.
P. 11. McCaffrey) Sailie (Mrs. Griffin)
and Mary, I Mrs. Charles Beyers. ) A
nephew, Michael Dougherty, was rear
ed by the deceased and has always
been as one of the family.
The funeral of Mrs. Mary Gallagher
took place from St. Joseph's Catholic
church Tuesday morning and was
largely attended.
The services, which included high
requiem mass,were conducted by Fatli
er Hilary (James Welsh,) of Scrauton,
nephew of the deceased. The pall
bearers were: Thomas Gill, James
Finnegan, Bernard Shoveliu, James
Dailey, John F. Tooley and C. P.
Murray. The funeral proceeded to
the cemetery in a Danville and
Bloonisburg trolley car.
The following out of town persons

Danville Defeats Ashland.
Another victory was added to Dan
ville's long list when the local team
defeated the Ashland aggregation at
the Armory New Year" \s afternoon by
a score of 51 to 20.
The Ashland team is composed of
good fast basket ball players, but the
members of the visiting team, how
ever. were not able to make much of a
showing. They played a hard, stren
uous game individually, but did not
seem able to play together. They set
a fast pace but the Danville tossers
were nearly always just a little faster.
Some of the finest basket throwing
ever seen at the Armory was done in
the game Monday afternoon by the
local team. The game was very ex
citing and almost sensational from
start to finish.

TWO BEGISTRA
tION DISTRICTS
The uew art to provide for the im
mediate registration of all births and
I deaths throughout the Commonwealth
went iuto effect on Monday. Tlie new
law if carried out will entail consider
able work upon physicians, undertak
ers, sextons and others aud these have
[all been apprised of their duties in the
premises by copies of the Act forward
ed to them by the Bureau of Vital
Statistics.
Montour county has been divided in
to two Registration Districts. Dr. C.
Shultz has been appointed Registrar
in one of these consisting of Danville
Borough, Mayberry, Cooper, Mahon
ing, Valley. Liberty and West Hem
lock townships. Of the other District
taking in the remainder of the county
William M. Robinson, of Washiugtou
ville has been appointed as Registrar.
Eacli local registrar is obliged to
have a deputy registrar whose duty it
lis to act in his stead iii case of ab
| sence, illness or disability. Miss Har
riet Mapstone lias been appointed
deputy in Dr. Shultz's district.
Section 5 provides that the body of
any person whose death occurs in the
State shall not be interred, uor deposit
ed in a vault or tomb nor removed
from nor iuto any registration district
until a permit for burial, removal or
other disposition shall be properly is
sued by the registrar of the registra
tion district in which death occurs.
The certificate of death is a volum
inous affair and contains items, the
statistical particulars covering every
conceivable circumstance of life and
death. It asks for not only place of
death, street and number, date and
place of birth, sex, color, single, mar
ried. widowed or divorced, but also
the name of father and madieu name
of mother, birth place of each, state
or foreign country.
The statement of facts relating to
the disposition of the Ixidy must be
signed by the undertaker or person
acting as such. The undertaker shall
he responsible for obtaining and filing
the certificate of death with the reg
istrar and securing a burial or remov
al permit.
The undertaker shall deliver the
burial permit to the sexton and no sex
tous shall inter or otherwise dispose
of a body unless it is accompanied by
a burial, removal or transit permit.
The medical certificate shall be made
and signed by the physician last in at
tendance 011 the deceased. Like the
certificate of death it is sweeping in
the extreme and involves no end of
work. The registration of births omits
no details and the attending physician
or midwife who has to file a certificate
will have plenty to do under the new
act.

A MATTER FOR COUNCIL.
Those of our eitizues whose avoca
' tions Saturday night or yesterday led
them over the canal culvert at Ferry
street beheld a good object lesson to
| show what may follow when the au
i thorities fail to exact of the masses a
; proper respect for the municipality or
tolerate practices that are out of all
accord with cleanliness, hygiene and
I civic pride.
That the ojd canal, an eyesore to lie
gin with, has been rendered double
unsightly by the dumping of ashes and
what not over the banks and along the
edge of the culvert under the pretitise
of aiding to till up the old water way
is one of those facts that are self evid
i cut.. This is bad enough, but as the
offenders are not interfered with it is
not strange that the practice has been
carried further. The acme was reach
ed on Saturday when one individual
dumped a big load of trash right on
the cult iit tli. middle ol" Pcrr>
street. The term "trash" is used ad
visedly. as among the contents with
ashes as a base were turkey feathers,
old excelsior, broken bottles and con
demned i Kit a toes. The load was not
even properly leveled over, but seemed
literally dumjied on the street, the
driver no doubt finding excuse in the
fact that there was a slight depression
iu the ground on that spot. By last
evening the deposit was pretty well
leveled over by the action of the wheels
passing, when the above named ar
ticles were some which had worked
their way to the surface.
Of course our Borough Council will
never tolerate anything like this. Be
sides the man who (lumped the trash
on the spot is liable to arrest for viol
ating the State law passed by the last
Legislature, which prohibits the cast
ing of trash of this or any other sort
upon the streets of any Borough. It is
certainly somebody's duty to get busy
at once and discover who dumped the
trash in the street.
The next thing that Council should
do is to stoji once and for all the dump
ing of ashes and all that is implied by
the name into the canal. If the old
waterway is to be tilled up go about it
in some well sustained systematic way
that will bring results and not encour
age niggardly and slovenly practices
that only add to the eyesore.
Again, if a street in the heart of the
Borough needs filling up let some ma
terial suitable for road building be
selected and not a lot of stuff that is
disgusting to the eye and that will be
scattered over the square by the first
wind that rises.
Civic pride should be cultivated
which can not be accomplished in a
better way than by enforcing the Bor
ough ordinance, which prohibits the
dumping of ashes anywhere within
the Borough. What a stranger's im
pression might have been who entered
town by way of Ferry street yesterday
it would be hard to imagine.
The soothing and comforting effects of
D. Witt's Witch Hazel Salve, when ap
plied to piles sores, cuts, boils, etc.,
subdues pa in almost instantly. This
salve draws out the inflammation, re
duces swelling and acts as a rubefac

THE SLOTH FT L TOD AS
! THEY ARE THE LAZIEST PEOPLE IN
THE WORLD.
A Hill Tribe of India Whose Men
Will .Neither limit Slor Work und
Wlio Are Proud of Their Ileputn- j
lion For Dimnriirhl Indolence.
In these days of push ami energy it >
sounds strange to talk of people as be- i
ing lazy, and still the Todas, a hill
tribe of India, are the laziest people in
the world.
The Todas are not ashamed of their
reputation and are free to confess that j
they know of nothing so foolish and
stupid as work. Their one and only
pursuit Is the raising of buffaloes. They
are far too indolent to follow the chase.
An ax is their only weapon, although
they know how to make others. The?
use this for waging war and for fel - j
leg trees. They will not till the lane, j
considering this unnecessary labor. To |
make housekeeping easier all their nat- j
ural products are held in common. The
idea of property is only restricted to
the hut, its contents and live stock.
The buffaloes, which they own in
large quantities, furnish them with
skins for clothing and the hut, and the
meat is used as food. But milk is
their principal diet. They do not even
relish the idea of milking their cattle.
The head milkers are the only ones
that are to be persuaded to do this la
bor. These men are chosen from the
class of "peiki," or "sous of God."
They are the priests and practice celib
acy. Although the priests tend to the
cattle, each householder owns his cat
tle.
Much as these men dislike the caring
for their cattle, they find farming a
less dignified calling. Some years ago
they went to war with their neighbors,
the Badaga and Kotas, as they might
be utile to levy a tax of one-eighth on
their grain products. When their grain
grows scarce they live on roots and
berries. They will sell their land or
give it away, but they will not culti
vate It at any price.
The building of bamboo huts does not
interest them any more than the culti
vating of the soil, and they make this
task easy by making the boys cut the
bamboo and their wives build the huts.
It is not unusual for three families to
share one abode. The men are often
«o lazy that they cannot afford one wife
alone, but even this does not worry
them. Two or three brothers manage
to support one wife. Indolent and
slothful, they sit listless for hours, un
concerned about all things. What they
know they know well. They are intel
ligent within certain narrow limits, but
they are too lazy to Increase their store
of knowledge. Whatever has to be
done must be cared for by the women
and children.
Strangely, their appearance does not
disclose tiiis most marked characteris
tic. They are tall and well proportion
ed. They look like Roman senators as
they walk wrapped in skins resembling
the ancient toga. Their appearance is
not only prepossessing, but bold and
self reliant.
Many an amusing story is told of this
small hill tribe, numbering about 400
men. An American missionary was
working among them when one day he
saw some women and boys building
a hut of baiulcw. lie inquired why the
men were not performing this labor,
* and one woman explained, "Husband
mine don't work; me and boys build
house."
The missionary made no further com
ment, but when the hut was built he
told the husband that he must build
another hut, as he could not live In a
home made by women and children.
But the surprised Toda answered: "No,
no. Me no work. Man lias boys and
wife to work."
The Toda meant what he said. Al
though the missionary argued and final
ly horsewhipped the native, he could
not get him to build a hut.
An equally amusing story is told by
an English officer. He was so taken
by the handsome appearance of one of
the natives he wanted to take him to
England and place him in his own regi
ment. The otlicer gave the native
skins and silks until the Toda prom
ised to become an English soldier. He
was delighted with the officer's bright,
gay uniform. He did not feel bad
about leaving his country, his wife and
children, but when lie was told that
soldiers work he said:
"Me no be an English soldier; me be
Toda. Me no work; me no like work."
When the English officer tried to per
suade him lie made answer: "lake
! wife and boys; they be English sol
! diers-like work. Me stay home and
rest; me lie Toda."—Chicago Tribune.

THE CHUKCHEES.
Tln»y Live In Siberia mill Have a
Mania For Suicide.
A Russian correspondent was talk
ing .ibout Siberia.
"In that strange land," he said, "the
(strangest tiling is the suicidal tend
ency of the ' 'hukchees. Among the
('hukchees, actually, suicide is one of
the most common forms of death.
"The < 'hukchees live in northeastern
Liberia. They are small and copper

th- ir <hief delicacies. In every Chuk

"A Chukchee doesn't kill himself by
his own hand, lie appoints his nearest
relative-- -his wife, son or daughter—to
do the <teed. And the delegate never
rebels, never declines this sad and hor
rible task.
"Innumerable are th° causes of sui

r Frrnch Canadian Canto mi.
A I-'n ;ich Canadian New Year's cus
tom now nearly obsolete was that
known as La Quete de I'Enfant Jesus
tile collection for the infant Jesus.
This collection was managed by the
parish priest, who was driven round
among hi- parishioners by the senior
the beadle. The gifts
that he thus gathered "for the love of
the infant Jesus" on the festival of
the circumcision were distributed
among the poor. Intimately connected
with this was another practice of col
lecting alms for the poor, known as La
Guignolee or La Lgnotee. The words
signify both a custom and a song. On
the eve of the new year bands of
youthful niasqueraders serenaded the
vari ni- residents of the locality after
nightfall with music and song, knock
ing at (1 >ors and windows and begging
for offerings for the poor, generally
eatables, with threats of revenge if
gifts were refused. A piece of pork
with the tail adhering, called La Chi
gnee. was the traditional offering ex
pected.
Ot*.l Time Football.
Football has never been a very gen
tle game, to judge from what Master
Stubbcs says about it in his "Anato
mic of Abuses," published in 1583:
"For, as concerning football playing, I
protest unto you it may rather be call
ed a friendly kinde of tight than a play
of recreation, a bloody and murther
ing practice than a sport or pastime,
for dooth not every one lye in waight
for his adversarie, seeking to over
throw him and to picke him ou his
nose, though it be on hard stones, so
that by this mealies sometimes their
ueeks are broken, sometimes their
j backs, sometimes their legs, some
j times their armes, sometimes one part
thrust out of joynt, sometimes anoth
er; sometimes the noses gush out with
blood; sometimes their eyes start out."
Wlij the Ocean Dofun't Freeze.
If the ocean did not have salt it
would freeze somewhat more readily
than it does now, but there would be
no very marked difference.
The ocean is prevented from freezing
not so much by its salt as by its size
and by its commotion. On account of
iis size, large portions of it extend into
warm climates at all seasons, and by
reason of its great depth it is a vast
