A MACHINIST'S GREAT RECORD To find vigorous old people still thoroughly in touch with the affairs j of life is perhaps no unusual thing; to 1 find a man, however, who has passed , the four score limit filling a position requiring peculiar skill and dexterity j along with uo little physical endur ance is by no means a common ex- i perience. Such an instance as the lat- j ter is afforded by our townsman Peter ! J. Adams, who at eighty years is j still employed as a machinist at the j Reading Irou Works where he entered ; upon employment sixty years ago. Mr. Adams was born in Milton. In j 1846 he entered the machine shop here, j where he is at present employed, when | it was owned by Haywood & Snyder. He came to Danville about a year af ter the first T rail was rolled and has witnessed all the changes that have taken place at that famous plant since. It was not until about 1850 that the foundry and machine shop were con solidated with the rolling mill. For many years they constituted a most important adjunct to the works. Mr. Adams recalls when considerably over a hundred men were employed in the two departments. Steam engines, pumps and rolling mill machinery were amoug the products. Incidental ly, Mr. Adams remarked in conversa tion last evening, that all the machin ery excepting the engines for the big rolling mill at Phoenixville was manu factured here in the now practically abandoned foundry and machine shop. Within comparatively recent years the foundry has been closed aud only a few men retained in the machine shop. At present there are some half a dozen machinists employed, enough to keep the machinery in order and to look after the punches and dies used in the manufacture of fish plate. Mr. Adams' especial work is to keep the punches and dies in order. Through out his long term of service he has de veloped remarkable skill in his tedious and difficult job, his work being char acterized by a degree of accuracy that could not be attained by a younger and less experienced man. His ser vices at his advanced age are very ac ceptable to the Reading Iron Company aud they would not like to dispense with him. Meanwhile the burden of years are accumulating on the should ers of the aged mechanic and how long health and strength may hold out is uncertain. At present he is still a fine specimen of manhood ; he is cheerful aud contented and his memory is ex cellent. He takes especial delight in dwelling upon the past relating to the big plant at which he is employed, recounting the various changes that have taken place. During his time the works were in the possession of the Montour Irou Company, Murdick and Company, Grove Brothers, Waterman and Beav er, Waterman aud Company and the Readiug Irou Company. Murdick and Company leased the mill to a set of men, who were known j*s the "Huckleberry Party." While they were operating the works a big fly wheel exploded which cut the mill in two. The loss was more than they oonld stand and the company went to pieces. The "Huckleberry Party" was succeeded bv Grove Brothers. State School Statistics. The annual report of Dr. Nathan C. Schaeffer, superintendent of public in struction, now in the hands of the state printer, shows that there are 2,- 561 school districts in the state, out side of Philadelphia,and 31,319 schools. The number of township high schools is 197. There are 8,028 men teachers and 24,324 women teachers. The aver age monthly salaries of the men is $51.81 ;of the women $39.14. The num ber of pupils outside of Philadelphia is 1,209,908. The total amount paid in teachers' wages was $!4,142.470.84 ; for text books, $703,777.38. Appropriation for free tuition of pupils in State Normal Schools was $237,500. Total cost of schools last year, as met by state, county aud city, was $28,565,- 457.15. The scale of wages for women teachers shows an average increase of $3.46 per month; for men $2.79 per month. The state maintains a school in Warren county for Cornplanter In dians, thirty-one of whom attended it at a total cost to the state of $488.06. Figures for Philadelphia are not in cluded in the foregoing statement. One would think the Laxative idea in a cough syrup should have been ad vanced long before it was. It seems the only rational rernedv for Coughs and Colds would be to move the bow els and cleau the mucous membranes of the throat and lungs at the same time. Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar does this. It is the Original Laxa tive Cough Syrup, the best known remedy for Coughs, Colds, Croup, Whooping Cough, etc. Tastes good and harmless. Sold by Paules er retaining wall, which is by large odds the smaller proposition of the two, the Northumberland coun ty commissioners do not object to building; they were not slow, how ever, to indicate that they were oppos ed to making the approach as a whole a county improvement. As things now stand it would seem that it is up to Gearhart township to see that the low er retaining wall is built. The lower wall will be au immense piece of masonry about a hundred feet in length and very high; to be safe it should be surmounted by a stout guard rail. That the citizens of the South Side who have been so forbearing in the matter aud had looked forward to the present meeting with so much ex pectaucy are heartily disgusted with the turn that events have taken, it is hardly necessary to add. Last sum mer the approach was declared a coun ty improvement, and it was confident ly expected that the new board of county commissioners would handle the proposition, to conform with this order. The township is much averse to making itself responsible for the construction of the lower retaining wall and it is altogether likely that there will be much contention on the subject and that there will be more or less delay before the work is begun The two boards of county commis sioners retired to the courthouse in this city where they held a joint meet ing to discuss some affairs connected with the bridge approach on the south side along with other matters pertain ing to the two counties. All three members of the Montour county board —Messrs. Leighow, Cook and Sechler —along with Solicitor E. S. Gearhart, were present with the Northumberland county commissioners. The session was a short one and there was nothing in the proceedings to foreshadow what the final outcome may be relating to the bridge approach on the south side. A Double Funeral. There was a double funeral at the home of Bartholomew James at Moores burg Tuesday morning, when the two children of the family, victims of diphtheria, were consigned to the grave Little Stella, who died Sunday, was to have been buried Monday after noon, but the death of the thirteen year old son, William, which occurred Menday led to a change of plans and it was decided to bury the two children together. A telpehone message was sent to Danville apprising the under taker of the change of plans, but he had already started for Mooresburg and thus the impression got abroad that the first victim was buried Mon day. The undertaker made -a second trip to Mooresburg yesterday and buried the two children. The funeral was private and took place in the forenoon. While the little girl had diphtheria she had practically recovered from that disease, death ensuing from heart failure superinduced by the attack of diphtheria. In that case, therefore, there was no violation of the health law in keeping the body slightly I*>- yond the limits prescribed. There are several other children in the James family, but up to last even ing none of them had developed sym ptoms of the dread disease. Several other cases, however, have broken out in that section, one of them occurring near Pottsgrove. There i> still a great deal of auxiety among the people. Health Officer B. I'.. Brown, of this city, in response to request wont out to Mooresburg yesterday and thorough ly fumigated the dwelling of the James family. Accordingly the post office in the James house, which was under the ban for a couple of days, is not regard ed with so much dread and is being visited about as usual. Up in Milwaukee a woman has be gun suit for $750,000 because her hus band was persuaded to leave her. There are lots of women ready to give expert evidence that there never was a husband worth that much mouev. Hum OF RURAL "PRONE HUES When competition began, in 1894. says Success, there was literally not a ' farm house in the country that was connected with a telephone exchange ; and, perhaps, it is no exaggeration to say that there was not a farm house j that had a telephone. The Bell com pany declined absolutely to construct | or establish farmers' exchanges or to j build farmers' lines. The best that a farmer who desired connection with the nearest town could do was to rent two instruments at SIOO a year and build aud maintain his own line. When a farmer wanted the telephone people to build a line out to his place, he was compelled to guarantee tolls amounting to at least SSOO a year. Na turally under such conditions, the farmer was cutoff from telephone com munication, aud that meant from the world, as he understands it today. Now a farmer can buy a telephone out right for from five dollars to sixteen dollars, according to quality, and lie aud his neighbor can build their own line as low as seventy-five dollars a mile. The report of the Indiana Indepen dent Telephone Association shows that on May 9, 1905, there were, in that state alone, 30,000 farmers connected with the exchanges. In lowa there are probably twice as many. In Michigan, Wicsonsin, Illinois aud others of the Western states, the numbers are in proportion. Approximately there are now one million farmers in this coun try who have telephones installed. a number of these are on Bell lines, for, under the stimulus of com petition, the Bell people have been compelled to secure farmers' connec tions in order to hold any business at all in some of the smaller towns and cities. Very few of these farmers pay more than twelve dollars a year for their service ; the maximum is about twenty-four dollars a year. It has been stated that the farmers and ranchmen are profiting to the extent of at least $50,000,000 a year, through the advan tages the telephone give- in keeping them in close touch with the markets and iu saving useless labor and wear aud tear on their ordinary equipment. But the economic side of the tele phone question, important as it is.does not, by any means, represent every thing to the farmer. It has wrought for him a social, a> well as an econ omic, revolution. WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK BODIES. Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Common Aches and Ills of Danville People. As one link weakens a chain,so weak | kidneys weaken the whole body and ; hasten the final breaking down. Overwork, strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys, and when their activity is lessened the whole body suffers from the excess of uric acid poison circulated in the blood. Aches and paius and langour and urinary ills come,and there is an ever increasing tendency towards diabetes aud fatal Bright's disease. There is no real help for the sufferers except kid ney help. Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on the kidneys and cure every kidney ill. Danville cures are the proof. Levi Allegar, baker, of 102 North Spruce street, says:"l found more relief from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills than from anything I ever used for kidney trouble. About eight year ago I had considerable lameness iu my back, over the hips and a continual aching right over the kidneys. These pains clung to me and increased in severity if I stooped or lifted. Occas ionally sharp pains would pass through me and shoot up between my should ers, along my spine. All this caused me considerable suffering aud unfitted me for my work. I could not sleep well at night and in the morning would arise tired and uurefreshed. 1 read about Doan s Kiduev Pills curing oth ers and got a box. After taking them as directed 1 lelt better and continued the treatment until I felt all right. I made a statement in 1896, in which I said that Doan's Kidneys Pills had cured me. I can only reiterate that statement at this time. I always keep Doan's Kidney Pills in the house, aud whenever a cold or a strain brings on a tired or weak back they never fail to remove the trouble." For sale by all dealers. Price 5C cents.

John Keim, our brick manufacturer, has just disposed of nearly his entire stock of 700,000 brick, which he kept on hand during the winter. Never has he known of such a demand at this season aud he feels confident that he could as readily have sold one milhou if they had been on hand. On Friday Mr. Keim sold 600,000 brick. The greater number of these were purchased by the State Normal School at Bloamsburg the balance go ing to George Koefer at Suubury. Mr. Keim retains a small stock of 100,000 brick to meet the local demand. Mr. Keim is looking forward to one of the busiest seasons in tlie history of brick making iu Danville. He will continue to operate the four local brick yards. All winter he has had ten men and three carts at work digging and hauling clay. In this way no time will be lost in the clay pits next sum mer but at each of the yards there will be an abundant supply piled up near at hand and where most convenient. The summer's work will be much facilitated and Mr. Keim at his four yards expects to turn out at least three million brick next season. Fie fore sees a ready sale for the entire stock.

CAffl WANTED H. H. Stetlei carrier on r. 112. d. route No. 2, \v to hits held that posi tion ever since the routes were estab lished in Mout« ur county, some three years ago. Ins t ndered his resignation to take effect a; soon as a successor is appointed. Mr. Stetler is a carpenter by occupa tion. lie followed that trade for many years prior to It is appointment as a r. 112. d. carrier and when released will again take up carpenter work, Mr. Stetler has no \ articular fault to find with the position as r. 112. d. carrier. The duties, never over arduous,at cer tain seasons of the year are pleasant. The remuneration, Mr. Stetler says, while at first sight adequate, is proven by experiment to be a little below what it should be in order to the cost of horse and wagon and the ex pense of horse feed and repair. That there is a living in if is not denied. TNIr. Stetler, however, lias a good trade and he believes that he can do better by dropping out of the service and tak ing up his occupation. There are not a few aspirants for Mr. Stetler's route,but how many will come up to requirements and be ad mitted to the examination is another matter. All those who think of apply ing will be interested in the informa tion below relating to the matter. A communication has been addressed to Post Master Harder stating that it is the purpose of the civil service com mission to hold a rural carrier exam intion in Montour county on Saturday March 24, 1906. It is explained that in order that a register of eligibles may be established for the local office it is necessary that not less than three persons forward on the prescribed form proper applications so that they will reach the civil service commission (rural carrier division) Washington, D. C.. on or before Wednesday, March 14th, liMX*.. The civil service commission desires to encourage suitable persons to file j applications and advises that the ex aminations will !><• entirely practical and very simple, that persons desiring to compete should promptly file ap plications, otherwise they may miss the lir>t opportunity to be examined. No acknowledgement will be made of the receipt of the application other than by mailing of an admission card after the appli atiou has been approv ed and a date -et for the examination. Petitions and i tfer~ of endorsements cannot in any nay affect the chances of the applicant. Persons desiring to be examined who meet the requirements will be furnish ed with a copy of the rural carrier ap plication blank, Ac. .by the Post Mast er at Danville and will be given all other information necessary in order to proceed properly. A DEPARTURE. From present indications there will be the usual amount of "flittiugs," the coming spring and it is pretty evident that there are not going to be many vacant houses of the least desir able sort after nil families are suppli ed. The change in conditions relating to trade is reflected in the fact that several vacant store rooms exist in Danville. This is not because of any falling oft in population as is shown by the avidity with which houses that happen to be vacant in any season are rented and occupied. The fact re mains, however, that there are a few more business buildings in Danville than are needed for supplying the trade without dividing up business to an extent that would eliminate reason able profit. There is no reason, how ever, why these blocks should stand idle in a town like Danville. The owner of one of these build ings, which seems destined to be vac ant daring t e coming season, yester day stated that lie contemplates re modeling it into a dwelling. It is a well-known fact that Danville is de ficient in residences that contain mod ern conveniences. At the same time it is a fact demonstrated over and over again that a residence with the proper appointments in Danville, need not tro begging for a tenant. Surprise is often expressed why the owners of the big buildings on Mill street, in greater part vacant from year to year, do not try to make something out of them by cutting them up into flats. If properly equipped to suit modern ideas owing to their central location they would have preference over almost any other building for rent. It would surely seem worth the trial and the gentleman quoted above if be takes the initiative as proposed will bo making an experiment that will be watched with much interest. Rev. ninsker for Danville. The Central Pennsylvania Confer ence of the Uni ed Evangelical Church, which lias been in session at Milton during the past week, adjourned last evening. The appointments,which were made public at the close of last night's ses sion,show that Rev. E. B.

In fact the ceiling of the court room has been very much damaged already by the rain. If is hoped that in the gen eral overhauling promised for the courthouse that the roof will not be overlooked. It would not be out of the way even for some future grand jury to recommend that the decorations on the ceiling be touched up or wholly replaced with new. The county commissioners intimate that among the improvements booked for next summer is not only a paint ing of the courthouse on the outside but also a regrading and sodding of the courthouse lawn and building of a retaining wall at the plot of ground I just west of the bridge, owned by the I county, to correspond with the fine | wall built by the borough and with j which it is to connect. This spot in the past has always been objectionable in one way or another and the county commissioners have de cided that from now on instead of be ing au eye sore it shall blossom like a rose and present au appearance in keep ing with the bridge and the borough's | improvement. By this it is under- j stood that when the wall is built the spot will be filled up and sodded to say nothing of further embellishments likely to be suggested. F»ill Text of Bridge Law. Among the bills signed by Governor | Penuypacker Monday is the Campsey ] bridge bill in relation to the building j of county bridges, regulating tlie let ting of contracts therefor, and author- j izing the borrowing of money to pay I for the same. The full text of the bill is as follows: Section 1. Be it enacted by the sen ate and house of representatives of the i commonwealth of Pennsylvania in gen eral assembly met,and it is hereby en acted by the authority of the same: That from and after the passage of this act all contracts to build county bridges shall be let by the county commission ers of the several counties of thiscom i mouwealth after public advertisement j and to the lowest responsible bidder, ! and no responsible individual, firm or j corporation desiring so to do shall be i denied the privilege of bidding. Such advertisements shall be published not less than four weeks in at least two newspapers of the proper county, if so many be published therein. During such advertising and until the time specified therein for the reception of bids the plans and specifications for such bridge, or a copy thereof, shall be kept in the office of the county com missioners, open to the inspection of all intending bidders. In the case of a bridge to be erected over a river or stream upon the line between two ad joining counties the advertising above provided for shall be done in each of said counties, and a copy of the plan and specifications shall be kept as above provided in the commissioner's office of each county. Section '2. When, in the opinion of the county commissioners of any coun ty,the cost of building a county bridge or bridges to be erected therein,or the said county's proportionate share of the cost of a bridge to be erected over a river or stream upon the line be tween it and an adjoining county, is so large in amount that to provide the funds necessary to pay tlie same by a single tax levy would be burdensome to the taxpayers, said commissioners, having first secured tlio approval of the court of quarter sessions of their county so to do, may issue and sell to the highest bidder at not less than their face value interest bearing bonds of the county for tlie purpose of rais ing funds to defray the costs aforesaid provided such bonds be issued with out violating any constitutional limit ation placed upon the increase of municipal indebtedness. Section;}. This act shall not take away or diminish any powers, func tions or duties relative to the letting of contracts which may be vested by law in county commissioners. Club Enjoys Mack Ride.

Thus ii great deal of bitter feeling has been obviated and the borough employes rendered familiar with their duties by practice are enabled to begin just where they left off and to work to the very best advantage AN ADDRESS ON TRUSTS Rev. Thomas Houston, the blind evangelist who preached at the East End Mission last week, addressed a meeting of men iu association hall Sunday. Those who had not heard him on an}' of the previous occasions awoke to the realization that Danville has within it at present a man of remark able power. The. hall Sunday was well filled with men, in the number being a few boys. The speaker was introduced by Hon. H. M. Hinckley, who told with what good results the Lord had used the blind evangelist at the East End Mission. Rev. Houston read the scriptures us ing a Bible for the blind. He is a most accomplished reader. As he went over the characters with his fingers, with charming emphasis and without the least hesitancy, ho uttered the words aloud. There was nothing to indicate that the reader was a blind man. Before proceeding with his address Mr. Houston sang "The Holy City. " Had the evangelist stopped right there there was not one present, but would have felt himself well repaid for hav ing attended the meeting. As a gospel singer it is doubtful whether the blind evangelist has ever been equalled by any one visiting Danville. He has a deep, powerful voice and the solo was rendered in a faultless manner, accom panied with an effect that was nothing short of inspiring. The evangelist took his subject, "Trusts and how they are abused." It was in this address that he demonstrat ed his penetration of thought,his sense of justice,his contempt for selfishness, j self-indulgence and license and on the whole demonstrated his wonderful i power. As he looked out over the lives J of men and raked up the vices and the sins prevailing,in effect he said to ev ery person in the audience: "Thou art the man"and it is doubtful wheth er there was any one present so good as to wholly escape a pang akin to remorse and self-condemnation. Dwelling upon Ahab —the trust com ; mitted to him, which he abused and for | which he suffered, the speaker stated I that it is with him a matter of doubt, ■ great as is the future punishment for sin, whether the penalty in the next world will be any greater than is suf fered in this world for sins committ j ed. He cited the case of McCurdy and i Hyde and other insurance leaders to i illustrate the punishment,the real mis ery and suffering following the abuse of an important trust committed to a man's care. He was present, however, I he said, to address the men of Danville ;on their own sins and he took up in 1 succession the various trusts of "In fluence," "Time," "Passion," "Fam ily." and "Wife"—trusts which have been committed toman by God, but which are abused every day of our 1 i ves. Time is frittered away in the lodge room, the club room, or in politics, yet every minute spent in this world is going to increase our happiness in heaven or our misery in hell. He did not take the position that a politician can not be a Christian. He cited the cases of McKinley, Roosevelt and John Wanamaker to show that even active politicians can bo good Christians,but he inveighed against the unprincipled politician who is in politics merely for the sake of "getting there." The lodge room, too, may have a place,but i is secondary to the church. The lodge aud the club room, he said, carry with them a slight to the fair sex, as the man who is wedded to either of these is bound to neglect the weaker sex. Then came the trust of "Influence," i in dwelling upon which the speaker I made a most telling appeal to fathers, who for the sake of the boys and those who follow after should guard well their actions and bo "men" in all that the term implies. His remarks on the trust of "Pas sion," which had to do with social purity, made an especially deep im pression, as did also what he had to say on the trust of "Souls." With re gard to the latter it is for us to decido whether we will be true or faithless to the trust reposed in us—whether our souls be saved or lost. His remarks on the trnst of "Fam ily" and trust of "Wife" had especi ally to do with tho home and were very touching. He urged the fathers to be true to the trust in the gift of children and for the sake of the boys to be Christians and to set the pace for the religions life.

It is ! highly essential that no time be lost I and it is desired that all formality be complied with at once to the eud that : the work may begin. The plan most generally favored, if State aid can be ! secured, is to pave Mill street from Center street t>> Chambers street and from that point to the borough line to construct a macadam road.

LEGISLATDBE KILL NOT Bj RECALLED The Governor will not reconvene the extra session of the Legislature to pass legislation enabling trolley railways to carry freight and fixing the rate of passenger travel ;it two cents a mile. Resolutions to this effect were passed by fhe Legislature and sent to the Gov ernor on the day before adjournment, and the Governor yesterday in deign ing to p;iss upon them simply says that "both requests are declined." The Governor also vetoed the con current resolution seut him by the Leg islature instruct iug the Attorney Gen eral to make inquiry au<) if lie shall find any railroad company violating that section of the constitution which forbids it to mine or sell coal to pro ceed against it;and the concurrent res olution creating a committee to ex amine into the biofcs and records of j certain companies and make report to the Legislature. The Governor thinks that these are not germane to any of the subjects designated in the pro clamation calling tlie extra session. The Governor also vetoes the act to provide for the assessment of poll taxes in cities of the first and second classes for the reason that tfie entire purpose of the bill is not expressed in the title. All of the bills have now been dis posed of except tlie Philadelphia "rip per" repealer, and it will become a law without action on the Governor's part.

The whole thing is of exquisite beauty and although more than twice the size of an ordinary pipe, owing to the purity of the meer schaum it is almost without weight. The fine, white claylike substance forming the pipe after taking on the delicate tints that comes with use. will be a rarity and a marvel of beauty. The ban ' ne meerschaum came direct ly from ermauy and a gentleman at the Montour House yesterday who is an authority on pipes stated that at the lowest estimate Mr. Haag's gift cost £75, probably .^IOO.
