Heddens lias received a letter from Thomas Sanders, the oldest member of Goodrich Post No. 22. G. A. R., who at present is an inmate of the Nation al Military Home at Montgomery county, Ohio. Thomas Sanders,who is iu his eighty seventh year, went to Dayton less tliau a year ago. He is pretty well pleased with 4 the great military home, hut has been sick nearly all the time since his arrival there. At the time of his writ ing lie was confined in the hospital. He says lie has written a number of letters east since being iu the home, but Comrade Heddeus was the only one who had sent a reply. Ho was delight ed to hear from Danville. There are provisions for about seven thousand soldiers at the home. About 4800, Mr. Sanders, says, are in camp at the present time ; about 1,400 are absent on furlough. There are 300 in the hospital and the deaths daily uum ber 6 or 7. Mr. Sanders is looking forward to a visit to his old home in May, but at present he is barely able to walk ow ing to swollen feet. He finds every thing very pleasant and cleanly. The bedding, he says, is as white as snow. Even the floors, are so scrupulously clean that one could rub a white hand kerchief over them without soiling it. The food, too, is all that could be de sired. Mr. Sanders says he has just receiv ed his "new clothes" and adds . "Tliey (It like a button. I now look like an old soldier once more. It makes me feel proud—if I only felt well enough to enjoy them." In conclusion he repeats the request that his friends in Danville write him oftener.and adds with a ring of pathos: "Don't forget that I may not be here long." A Change "of Agents. The Adams express office, which for BO many years has been maintained iu connection with Grone's took store, will be removed from that establish ment into entirely separate quarters in the building No. 122 Mill street, re cently vacated by Johnson's millinery and owned by \V. C. Williams. This change of course implies that the express business as well as the office passes out of the hands of Mr. Grone, who will continue to push his book and stationery business at the present stand. The removal of the office is in line witli a policy recently adopted bv the Adams Express com pany, which calls for a general remov al of offices from stores and other busi ness establishments into separate quart ers. Who the agent will be that will have charge of the Adams Express business after the removal could not be learned yesterday. Mr. Grone does not see fit to abandon his store and yesterday morning he declined tlio agency. It is intimated by thejcompany that after the change two wagons will be put in to commission, one of which will be driven by the agent and that a clerk, probably a lady, will be employed iu the office Sucli at least is the plan adopted in those towns where the offices are already removed to separate quart ers. The Adams Express Company is evid ently after more business but whether the departure inaugurated will bring about larger returns remains to be seen. This Is Your Chance.

It is rumored that a gigantic law suit will be the outcome of this obstruc tion to tlie stream. Attorney General Carson is already engaged in looking uj) authorities on tlie matter. In his forthcoming annual report Commis sioner Median will say: "If the dam at McCall's Ferry is constructed it would mean, if not the complete wiping out of the shad in dustry, its reduction to narrow limits, for the natural migration of the fish up the stream beyond McCall's Ferry would only be possible by means of flshways. It is a well known fact that of all the fishes the shad is the most timid and it hesitates about going through any kind of a fish way the has yet been designed. The more courage ous. it is true, pass through, as lias been evidenced by the fishwav placed in Clark's Ferry dam by the State,but the number which go through in com parsion to thost which refuse is com paratively few. ' I feel the shad industry ought to be developed, not destroyed, or even interfered with, even for the purpose for which the McCall Power company proposes to build the dam. It is not merely a question of dollars and cents which has to be considered, but the right of the people to have within their reach a very valuable and im portant food commodity at little cost. "It is not merely the shad industry that would he destroyed, but the eel industry also, and what is true of the eel and shad industry is also true of a number of other fishes, the herring for example, which ascends for some dis tance above McCall's Ferry under pre seut condtions. In dollars and cents the total loss to the people along the Susquehanna river would he compara tively speaking in the neighborhood of half a million of dollars a year, but more important than the dollars and cents would be the loss of food." Severe on Quacks. State Health Commissioner Samuel G. Dixon would make short work of the "quack" doctor, by having his state medical license revoked, the mo ment it was proved that the man was carrying on a business or acting in his professional capacity in such a man ner as to bring disgrace upon the medical profession and harm to the victims of his charlatanism. Dr. Dixon brought out this point very forcibly Monday night, in open ing the discussion at the College of Physicians, following a paper on "Quackery: What are we going to do about itV'' read by Charnpe S. And rews, Esq., of New York, before the Medical Jurisprudence Society of Phil adelphia. "If a law}"er in this State" said Health Commissioner Dixon, "trifled with the affairs of his client or carri ed on the montebank operations like some of the so-called physicians who are openly trifling with the lives of their patients by a knavish practice of medicine, they would be at once de barred from practicing law. Yet the present laws of this State permit the medical quack togo on acting as a family-physician,practicing under the official license that bears the seal of this great Commonwealth. He may have been convicted of mal -practice, yet go about flaunting a State license. "It is time," continued Health Commissioner Dixon, "that we band together and prepare a bill to be pre sented to the next legislature empow ering the State medical examining board to revoke medical licenses when it is proven that they have fallen into the hands of charlatans and quacks." New Silk Hill at Berwick. Iu addition to the present silk mill of F. Q. Hartman, at Berwick, anoth er mill, probably in West Berwick, will be in all probability erected by Mr. Hartman in the near future. Mr. Hartman lias been considering the purchase of a plot of ground in West Berwick for that purpose aud lias already looked over the laud that would make a satisfactory site for his mill. Should the plant he erected iu West Berwick it will be with a view of considering the help question, thus giving him oue plant in each end of that town and making it more convenient for the employes. Should the new plant, which is be ing given the greatest consideration be built, it will require a building about 53 x 200 feet, one or two stories and would be used as a floss, fringe and machine twist mill, giving em ployment to about 130 bauds, the pres ent mill employing about the same number of hands. A number of other improvements have recently been made to the mill now in operation at Ber wick. PLANT TREES. Every property owner in the city who has a yard or piece of ground, if not already planted with a tree or trees, to afford shade,shelter and beauty ou the street as well as to inmates of the house, should bear in mind that the season is at hand for the planting, and if an order lias not been sent to nurseryman or tree agent, it should be attended to at once. The sooner a tree or hardy shrub is transplanted, when the ground is in order, the better. Nothing adds more to the value of a home and a property than well-grown I trees, and the cost and care are trifl ! ing. While the main object of Arbor Day is to educate and encourage the planting and car* of trees, to impress the necessity from many standpoints of tree culture,there have not been the results yet attained that are desired, though considerable progress lias been made within a couple of years in for est reservations by the Sfate aud na tional governments.

A. R. begin to bestow some thought on Memorial day, which is only a couple of months distant. In conversation with some members of Goodrich Post yesterday it was learn ed that Memorial day here this year will he celebrated with the usual march to the cemetery and with all the features that have assisted to make the occasion so impressive in the past. This is quite gratifying in view of the fact that in some other places,not ably in a city like YVilliamsport,the G. A. R. camp this year will hold its last parade. Everywhere the rank of the defenders of the Union are thin ning out and those who survive begin to feel the burden of advancing years. As a body they hardly feel equal to the task of marching to the cemetery in military stvle much longer. Ar rangements therefore are being made to observe Memorial day this year all the more elaborately to mark the pass ing of the time-honored parade of the civil war veterans to the graves of their departed comrades. The members of Goodrich Post yes terday stated that not only would the veterans of the civil war in Danville march to the cemetery in true military style this year, but they would con tinue to do so for years to come. Six teen old soldiers (lied in Danville dur ing the past year, of this number twelve being members of Goodrich Post. The post lias still a hundred members. A large proportion of these are still relatively young and are still able to do some pretty active hustling while engaged in their daily pursuits. Dauville is fortunate in having a camp of Sons of Veterans, one of the objects of which is to perpetuate the observance of memorial day, taking up the work of decorating the graves and looking after all the other details as fast as advancing years disqualify the surviving veterans for the performance of that tender duty. Colonel Eckman Camp No. *23, Sous of Veterans is very enthusiastic as to its duty in this line and already last year rendered the veterans much assistance. The local camp of Sous of Veterans has now been fully equipped with guns and this year they will step into per form the duty of tiring squad at the cemetery,a part of the program which heretofore was always performed by the National guardsmen. Roosevelt Will Attend. President Roosevelt will personally participate in the dedication of the new Pennsylvania State Capitol, at Harrishurg, Thursday, October 4th. The President himself selected the date, the courtesy of so doing having been left to him by the dedication com mission in order that nothing should stand in the way of his coming. Although the dedication commission has not been formally notified, an As sociated Press dispatch from Washing ton tells of the official announcement there of the President's acceptance of tne invitation to come to Harrisburg, and that Octboer 4 has been named as the day. The formal invitation to President Roosevelt was extended several weeks ago. The members of tlie dedication com mittee are Governor Peunypacker,Sen ator William C. Sproul, of Chester; Senator John E. Fox, of Harrisburg and Speaker Henry F. Walton,of Phil adelphia. Details of the dedication are not ar ranged. The Legislature lias appropri ated $50,000 to defray exposes. This insures an elaborate ceremony. One of the features will he a big parade of the National Guard of Pennsylvania, reviewed by the President and Gover nor Peunypacker. There will probably also be a public reception to the Presi dent. If you are troubled with Pile.- and can't find a cure, try Witch Hazel Salve, but he sure you get that made by E. C.

INDUSTRIAL PEACE While the outlook at this moment is ominous of serious trouble between the miners and their employers in both the bituminous and thy anthracite re gion, there is still hope for a peaceful settlement. John Mitchell, the leader of the miners, understands the grave consequences of a strike and is doing all he can to promote peaceful coun sels. He is not ready to surrender en tirely to the operators, but lie is will ing to meet them at least half way in any effort to arrange the matters still in controversy. Francis I>. Kobbins, who is the spokesman for the bituminous operat ors, is also disposed toward an agree ment. There is reason to believe that if the matter were left to the unbias ed judgment of Mr. liobbins and Mr. Mitchell there would be a speedy end to the uncertainty existing and the clouds now hanging about the in dustrial horizon would quickly disap pear and popular confidence would In restored. is it too much to hope that tie- sound business sense of these two gfutlamen will be permitted to domin ate the reassembled joint conference? AMEBI<'AN' BI;< 'KLESSNESS. The Americans are regarded as the most extravagant people in the world and gome of their wasteful cajiers would appear to justify that imputa tion. Think of any German, French or English railroad company taking thousands of their wooden ears and making a conflagration of them as the Penusy is doing with that kind of its rolling stork u. a vast bonfire near Harrisburg. They artv too economical for such extravagance,and ev«.tj if they no longer needed the cars they would arrange some plan to put them to use as firewood. For that purpose the wooden cars which the Pennsy is con flagrating would be worth thousands of dollars. It is probably because the Americans are supplied with such a superabundance of everything that they are so reckless in their wasteful n ess WEATHER ON SI. PATRICK'S DAY .St. Patrick's day, Saturday, which according to tradition should have been accompanied with stormy weath er,brought us clear skies and sunshine although the snow was nearly a foot deep and mercury was down below freezing. During the night it became very nearly as cold as at any time dur ing the winter, the thermometer reg istering 4 degrees above zero. This is a little remarkable in view of the fact that the advent of spring is only two days distant and that on St. Patrick's day a year ago mercury stood at HO de grees during the afternoon, the weath er being so warm as to make the shady side of the streets desirable, especially to those who wore heavy overcoats. While in the cities aud in the larger towns the memory of St. Patrick was honored with song and toast and ad dresses from men in all walks of life, in Danville the day was observed only in the very quietest manner. Every loyal Celt in honor of the patron Saint of Erin wore upon his person emerald green,either a boutonniere or a bow of green ribbon on the lapel of his coat. The very best of order during the day and in the evening prevailed upon the streets. For several 3*ears past St. Patrick's day has been observed in Danville in the same quiet unostentatious manner that marked the observance Saturday. There has been an absence of elaborate functions, of addresses and the like, but the bit of emerald green was al ways in evidence,wherever there were true Irishmen indicating that deep in the heart was a patriotic feeling, a fond memory of the Emerald Isle, which during all the years of their so journ hep' was >till fervent and uu di mined.

County Commissioner CJeorge R. decider has come to the front with some interesting information relating to the old boat yards of Danville, a ! full recollection of which lingers in the minds of only a few persons. P. G. Baylor of South Danville, also re calls the boat yard on East Market street, Daniel Lynn, one of the pro prietors being his uncle. Mr. Sechler says that Daniel Lynn was in partner ship with Henry Ammerman and that j their boat yard along about J847 was i situated along the canal at the rear of j Esterbrook's store. Our county com ! missiouer says as a boy of ten years he I used to sit and watch the workmen as j they drew the boats out of the canal J by the clumsy methods then in vogue. Another boat yard was near the Jack son Ammerman building on the site of what was in later years Shepperson's coal yard. Here several boats were built that had a long and useful career on the canal,among them being "Pris cilla E. Thompson," "S. B. Thomp son" and"The Ladies' Friend." At an earlier clay packet boats were built iu Danville, at a yard 011 the site now occupied by the Struc tural Tubing Works. Early iu the 40's two very handsome packet boats were built here, oue the"Eagle" and tlie other the "New York," to ply between Northumberland and Wilkes-Barre. Mr. Sechler was present at the launch ing of these boats, which was a great event. Among the old-time mechanics who worked at boat-building in Dan ville besides Daniel Lynn and Henry Ainmcrman were John Kulp, Oscar Ephlin and Charles Leighow, the lat ter still surviving.

How many of our citizens can re member when there was a boat yard in Danville? A group of citizens, none of whom were much over sixty years, Saturday evening, was discussing the matter. Only one was able to recall the boat yard and to describe it mi nutely. All of the others,although life long residents of Danville seemed to have forgotten that such a concern as a boat yard ever existed in Danville. Charles Mot tern, an old-time boat men, recalled the boatyard, which he said, was situated along the canal in the vicinity of Jacob Dietz's property, East Market street. Here the boats, which needed overhauling, by means of long skids and an ingenious sys tem of trucks and tackle were drawn up out of the canal. It was a busy spot, as boats were constantly being repaired here, even if some were not wholly built. The canal went out of commission some five years ago. We still have the old boatmen with us and the conversa tion Saturday night revealed how fond ly they dwell in memory on the boat ing days aud how much iuterest they take in everything that pertains to the old ditch. The well-known boatmen of Danville who still survive are the six Motteru brothers—Charles, Peter, Joseph.Sam uel, Daniel and Jeremiah, the latter residing at Watsoutown. As a success ful and experienced boatman no one on the whole canal system was known better than our county commissioner, George R. Sechler. Two other well known boatmen of Danville were Ellis Rank and William Miller. There are a number of others here who followed the canal as bowsmen and drivers, but the above is thought to comprise nearly all those living in our town who rose to the rank of captain. These men probably with few ex ceptions spent the greater parr of their lives on the canal beginning when boys as drivers. They became accustom ed to the business but acquired little experience that would help them along in any other pursuit. When the canal was abandoned, therefore, it was a hard blow to these men, the most of whom had passed the meridian of life and it is doubtful whether they have quite succeeded in adjusting them selves to altered conditions. One of these ex-boatmen was asked whether he did not miss the canal very much when it was abandoned. "Yes, we missed it."and he added significant ly, "we still miss it." The most of the old boatmen have gone into haul ing, a< about the only thing that re mained for them. They probably find 1 enough to do, but the employment bears no comparison to the iudepen -1 dent, the free and easy life on the can al which they followed for so many I years and came to love with all their ; hearts.

Evan Be van of Buruham arrived Sat urday evening to spend Sunday in our pleasant town on the North Branch, which was for so many years his home. As mill wright and master mechanic Mr. Bevan was employed at the big mill for the period of thirty-nine years. Last August he went to Burn ham to accept the position of master mechanic under the Logan Iron aud Steel Company. He is quite well pleas ed with his new position and vester day gave a fine description of Buru liam, which is the seat not only of the Logan Iron and Steel Company, but al so of Standard Steel works belonging to the Baldwins, which employs near ly five thousand hands. The place is growing rapidly and under the condi tions which exist it does not seem like ly that there will be any halt in the development until Buruham grows in to a great city. It is next to impossi ble to secure houses to dwell iu there and large numbers of employes are compelled to reside out of town, some of them covering the distance of seven miles night aud morning. Mr. Bev an says that a wonderful sight presents itself when the several thousand em- ployes emerge from the great steel plant at quitting time. The street, lie says, from one end of the other is a living stream of humanity. Burnham is about three miles from Lewistown aud is easy of access from Danville. Mr. Bevau says he is not lonesome at Buruham, as lie has plenty of Dan ville people to associate with. David Thomas is Superintendent of the Logan Iron aud Steel Company's plant.

Dixon, health com missioner, makes the marvelous an nouncement from records compiled in his office, that during the four months of November and December, 19 A 5, and January and February 190f>, there has not been a siugle death from diphthe ria where the free antitoxin provided by the State has been used within 24 hours after the onset of the disease and in doses recommended in the cir cular sent out bv the commissioner. Gratifying results had been previous ly reported, but nothing then indicat ed the possible eradication of the death rate in a disease so long and so uni formly considered deadly. The pre vious report, after the most limited test of the free antitoxin among pati ents considered too poor to pay for the serum, showed a decrease of nearly "J per cent, in the death rate. Even this was a splendid result and showed the great benefits of the State paying for antitoxin for those who might other wise not be able to procure it and prob ably die. But the report for the latest four months is indeed wonderful —an achievement .scarcelj- dreamed of by the most advanced and optimistic scieu tist a short time ago. Dr. Dixon attaches great importance to this, and hopes that the same re sults will be secured in a far larger number of cases by physicians through out the using free autitoxiu more , promptly. This prompt use of anti- ! toxiu lias been urged by iiealtli com- 1 missiouer Dixon from the start of tl»e 1 free distribution. He has urged it in his correspondence with fellow-medi- I ral men and the local boards of health throughout the State, and especially in the circular which is contained in every package of the State's free anti toxin. "The early use of antitoxin is es- ; sential," says Health Commissioner Dixon in his circular, and he endeav ors to impress it upon the people by i heavilv underscoring the words of ad- j vice. In this circular also Dr. Dixon lias given general directions for the ad ministration of antitoxin in both cura- 1 tive and immunizing doses that have been found exceedingly helpful to phy sicians in Pennsylvania. Never less than 3000 units,says Dr. Dixon,should be used for a curative dose; in advanc ed cases he says to increase the in it i- ; al curative dose from:» 000 to *>ooo units. If improvement is not manifested within six hours following the initial j dose give 6000 units, and if no benefit j is to be observed within the following eight to twelve hours, repeat the same until a change for the better can be noticed. All cases showing croupy symptoms should receive large and often-repeat ed doses. * • A QUA KAN TEE I) CURE TOR PILES Itching, Blind, Bleeding, Protrud i 'iig Piles.

WILL START A STOCK FARM The Mails farm, one of the oldest and best known estates in Montour county,owned by Mrs. Kate Jones, ae cording to present plans this spring will enter upon a new epoch as a stock farm. Horatio I'. Jones, son of Mrs. Jones, the owner, purchased the fine lot of Chester White liogs at William Vastine's sale Wednesday,and these yesterday were taken to the Maus farm. Other blooded stock will be added in a short time, as it is Mr. Jones' intention to devote himself to the raising and improvement of farm animals. The Maus farm was originally pur chased of the Penns by Mrs. Jones' grandfather, Lewis Maus,in 17tiW. The farm descended to David D. Maus, who died in 18S>8, when it passed into the hands of his daughter, Mrs. Jones, present owner. The farm, which lies near town and possesses an abundance of water and broad fertile fields is fav orably situated for stock raising. Mr. Jones in addition to being a live stock fancier is a gentleman of education and there is no reason why his new venture with the stock farm should not meet with abundant success.

L. Gouj/er, 11. M. Schoch. of Dan ville: I >r. B. 11. Detwiler.of Williams port : Howard Lvou, of Hughesville: \\ I'. Shay, (if Watsuiitowii and Dr. Shoemaker,of Wilkes Barre. The plana and significations of the lieat, light and power plant were approved ; bids will he invited immediately and pros pects are that before the close of next month work on the plant will be well under way. Philip H. Johnson, of Philadelphia, the architect, was present at the meet ing. He submitted two sets of plans and specifications for the heat, light and power plant—one on the site first selected at the co il dump just west of the hospital buildings and the other at the rear of the hospital taking in the present steam power plaut where the air compressor maintained in connec tion with the filter system is installed. The two sets of plans and specifica tions were gotten up at the request of the board of trustees. Avlioof late have found some objection TO the site at the coal dump at the terminus of the switch, which was thfc site originally considered in connection with the heat, light and power plant. The principal circumstance which weighed in favor oft] >■ site at the coal damp was that coal obuld be unloaded from thenars at the door and that the hauling now necessafv could be ob viated. Later, however, the trustees began to take other things into consid eration and arrived! at conclusions, which make it more than probable that another site may be selected and that I the plans conceived of a year ago as to heat, light and power may be much modified. As things stand at present the trus tees are much in favor of enlarging or practically rebuilding the present "boiler house"and installing there the heat, light and power plant. In the first place they declare that they dis like to depart from the original plan or arrangement of the hospital build ings, whiclffor all the years of their history have stood as a model and af ter which a large number of other in stitutions are patterned. Tiiey see a large number of advantages in the pres ent location of the boiler house— enough to more than counterbalance what would be gained by eliminating the hauling. In the first place by remodeling the present boiler house into the heat, light and [power plant, connection can be made with the system of buildings by means of the present lines of pipe, whereas if the site at the coal dump be selected au underground conduit of brick at least seven feet deep will have to be constructed for a distance of one thousand feet to carry the steam pipe and the electric current. The con struction of this conduit will be a big item in itself, to which must be added the fact that in covering this long dis tance there will be a considerable loss of power both in steam and electricity which will goon as long as the in stitution stands. It was the iuteution at first to dis place steam in the laundry as a motive power and in its place to install an electric motor. Should there be a change in site the fine corliss en gine will be retained in the laundry and steam continued in use. The pres ent pumping station, with its separate boiler and engine will also be retain* ed. The plans and specifications for the heat, light and power plant at each of the two sites were approved. Adver tiseiug for bids on both plans will begin today. The bids will be open ed at a regular meeting of the trus tees at the Hospital for the Insane on April 10. The contract will be awarded immediately afterward. The amount of the appropriation for the heat, light and power plant is $91,000.
