PENNSY'B REPLY IN
$lO REBATE CASE
The Peunslyvauia Railroad company
lias filed its separate answer to the
suit instituted by the State at the in
stance of the Homeless and other
organizations of traveling men to com
pel it to show cause why it retains £lO
on a thousand mile rebate book for
which the purchaser pays •■?:»), getting
back the $lO when he return-- the cov
i er of the book.
The answer admits that the company
i is a common carrier and accepted the
constitution of 1871, and that it sells
such 1,000 mile books, but denies that
it limits the sale of such tickets to any
cla? sof persons. It avers that when
| such ticket was not endorsed by the
[ purchaser it was discovered that, not
withstanding the laws against ticket
scalping, these mileage tickets were
purchased and sold in large numbers
by ticket scalpers, and in many inst
ances were rented by their owners at
so much per trip to ordinary travelers.
The railroad company reached the con
clusion cliat proper considerat ion for
its interests and that of the traveling
public required it to abolish the use of
mileage tickets of that character.
In compliance with the requests of
business and traveling men the pre
sent ticket was issued, at the ordinary
rate of three cent per mile, with the
£lO refund provision, which would
uiake the rate two cents a mile. The
requirement for the signature of the
contract of the identification slips was
not a discrimination, but merely a pro
tection in return for concessions grant
ed. A general denial is made that the
terms on which the ticket is sold is
unreasonable, unfair, unjust or il
legal. The purchase of these tickets
is not made cumpulsory on the travel
ing public,and a purchaser is not forc
ed to give bail for his conduct as is
alleged by the complainant. The fact
that it can be used by only one person
is not an unreasonable and annoying
restriction,but is to protect 11.e travel
ing ]iu hi ic.
In brief the answer is a general
denial that the company is unfair in
its restrictions ami an averment that
what it has done in the matter of issu
ing mileage books was for the protec
tion of itself and the general traveling
public.

TROUBLED WITH PROFANITY
The following mention is takcu from
he columns of the Altooua "Tri
bune". "Danville is likewise troubl
ed with the profanity habit among
men and boys who make little or no
effort to restrain themselves on tin
streets or in the presence of ladies or
children. One of tho outraged citi
zens, talking to a News reporter, said
the action of the authorities in hunt
ing down those who have been m the
habit of discharging firearms on the
public streets is all right, but he
thinks those who pollute the air with
blasphemous and licentious talk should
be gathered up. It is not often that a
borough or a city has as strenuous and
resolute a head as the burgess of
Stroudsburg, who confines blasphemers
in the borough prison on bread and
water and threatens to quadruple the
dose it the offense is repeated.

BRIGADIER GENERAL
JOHN W. BUBB
Danville, it seems, is soou to have a
distinguished visitor in the person of
Brigadier General John W. Bubb. of
the United States army and while
here, it is safe to say, that he will
visit the Heading Iron works, where
with George W. Tillson aud others he
used to "drag out" iron in the days
of his boyhood or early manhood, be
fore the civil war.
Brigadier General Bubb spent bis
early life in Danville enlisting here in
l.stii. It will be recalled that at the
time of his promotion last winter this
paper contained several articles relat
ing to General Bubb's early life, his
long military record and well-earned
promotion. These articles all reflected
a keen interest and a pride felt by
citizens in the career and the success
of one who is still looked upon here as
a Danville boy.
Our townsman, George S. Tillson,
has received a letter from General
Bubb, which reveals that lie has uot
forgotten Danville and the old friends
of iiis boyhood. General Bubb's let
ter states in part:
"I had been away from Danville for
so many years that I almost thought
that I was forgotten. I have been busy
all these years attending to my duties,
determined to win and to get as high
las my poor efforts might carry me. il
| have tried ever since the day 1 enlist
[ ed in Danville to give my best service
| aud to be deserving of any promotion
that might come to me.
j "I have somewhere among my pap
| ers a complete list of all my Danville
| comrades and of those who were my
schoolmates and associates. I have not
been in Danville since President Lin
j coin was assassinated. My family left
there during the war. I still have some
relatives about Danville whom I shall
look up. I contemplate a visit to Dau
i vi lie at an early date to renew my
acquaintance with yon and all my old
friends and comrades.
"I presume I would hardly know
Danville now, but all the same I am
going to look up some of my old trails
at the first opportunity. I wonder if
the small boys would try to frighten
an old warrior as we used to do in the
mill when visitors and sightseers were
doing the great iron works."
Brigadier General Bubb is very
pleasantly located at the headquart
ers of the department of Dakota, St.
Haul, Minn. He has quite a family—
four sous and three daugiiters. His
youngest sou graduated from the mil
itary academy last year and is now a
lieutenant in the army at Manilla.

Hived a Swarm of liees.
Charles Soiderwalt, the Western
Cuiou lineman, Saturday afternoon
showed the employes at the Reading
iron works how to hive a swarm of
bees. In the process he showed quite
as much nerve as when scaling a fifty
loot telegraph pole and escaped with
out a single sting.
Toward evening a very large swarm
of bees settled on one of the trees
along the creek just east of the mill.
The bees clustering together formed
an immense pear-shaped mass, which
hung suspended from one of the lower
limbs.
Everyone gave the bees a wide berth
until Mr. Seiderwalt heard of the
swarm and went down to the mill to
look them over. He said lie could cap
true them and he immediately set
about carrying his plans into execu
tion. Procuring an ordinary store box
he placed it under the bees aud coolly
shook the whole mass of honey-makers
down into the receptacle, after which
he covered up the box and carried it
away with him.
It was a great object lesson for the
mill men and they have not yet ceased
to wonder what secret art the man em
ployed that enabled liiiu to capture the
bees without any resistance.

FLAG DA V—JUNE 14TH.
Several of the towns of Pennsylvania
j will observe Flag day, June 14th., with
I more or less elaborate services, ap-
I propriate to the occasion. An appeal
j has been sent out by those interested
!in the observance of the day. One
difficulty heretofore has been that
| Memorial day and Flag day are so
! close together that it is difficult to pay
the latter as much attention as it de
serves. A suggestion has been made
that the two days be combined and it
is not unworthy of consideration.

DROUGHT IS BROKEN.
The spring drought, which threat
ened to affect the yield of several of
the crops has been effectually broken.
The copious rainfall, Saturday night,
has been followed with showers during
Sunday and Monday, and these have
kept vegetation refreshed aud soaked
the parched earth to a considerable
depth. The large turnout of farmers
t court Monday greeted the cor ♦ inn
ed rain with smiles of satisfaction aud
pleasure. The corn, oats, early pota
toes and garden truck, which w.-re at
a standstill, will be hurried over the;
first stage of their growth, while it is j
generally conceded that the rain is not 1 ,
too late to heln the crop of clover as
well as timothy. The dust, which in
some of the roads was several inches '
deep before the rain, is no longer aI ,
factor. The good results are so many
aud so marked that people do not hesi
tate to forgive the weather man for
the drop in temperature with the
damp and chilly atmosphere which has 1
accompanied the rain.

FUNERAL OF
WILLIAM ATEN
The funeral of William Aten, who
died on Thursday, took place from the
United Evangelical church Sunday
afternoon, and was very largely at
tended. The services were conducted
by Rev. Harry Minsker, pastor, at 2
o'clock.
The funeral was held under the au
spices of Mahoning tribe, No. 77, Im
proved Order of Red Men, of which
. the deceased was an old and disting
uished member. Some forty members
of the tribe attended the funeral in a
body. The pall bearers, chosen from
among the members of the tribe, were
as follows: Cornelius Herr, Robert
Williams, Robert Farley, Warren
Smith, Harry Hess and Cyrus Rudy.
The deceased was a charter and an
honorary member of the Washington
fire company, which was represented
at the funeral by some twenty-five
members in uniform.
The flowers were very numerous and
beautiful, comprising the emblem of
the Red Men, a harp with a broken
string. There were many other offer
ings from the children and the grand
children.
At the grave the burial rites of the
Order of Red Men were performed, a
beautiful feature of which was the re
leasing of a dove over the grave. It is
not often in the course of events here
that a funeral occurs iu which the
burial rites of the Red Men are per
formed ; hence it was that an unusual
degree of interest attached to the cere
mony at the grave Sunday.
The following persons from out of
town attended the funeral: Mr. and
Mrs. H. J. Aten, Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam H. Aten, George F. Aten, Joseph
E. Aten, and Mr. aud Mrs. John N.
Aten,of Baltimore; Mrs. Cecil, Stuart,

Trolley Conductor's Odd Injury.
J. S. Raver, conductor ou the Dan
ville Bloomshurg street railway,met
with a most uuusual accident Satur
day afternoon. Ho had charge of the
car, that leaves Danville at 1 :2<> and
was collecting fare when lie happened
to slip on the step outside the car and
struck his left leg agaiust the iron
edge iu such a way as to sever au
artery.
The injury was painful, but Mr.
Raver did not think it was serious un
til he became aware that he was bleed
ing most profusely. Fortunately Gen
eral Manager W. R. Miller was on
board the car, and he having a knowl
edge of quick relief methods, made a

Letter From Honolulu.
Miss Clara Smith has received a
very interesting letter from her sister,
Mrs. Bruce Ilartnian, at Honolulu.
One of the items of news which will
interest the Danville public is that
Mrs. Elizabeth Briuton.enroute to the
Philippine islands, on the steamship
China, on Friday, May lltli., arrived

High P. & R. Bridge on Fire.
The high P. it R. bridge at Main
ville was on tiro Saturday morning for
several hours. The bridge is 1500 feet
long and 129 feet higl. md spans a
deep chasm in the mountains. The
entire neighborhood was aroused and
fought the tl imcs, which, neverthe
less, burned fierceh for several hours,
consuming the ties for about one quart
er the length of the bridge. The fire
caught from the live coals from a
freight pusher.
Passenger Takes the Risk.
Judge Svvartz, of Norristowu, has
ruled as follows: "A passenger who
stands upon the platform of an electric
car when there are vacant seats inside
the car, assumes not only the ordinary
risk of the road,but all the risk incid
ent to that position. The proper and
assigned place for a passenger is inside
the car, unless he shows some valid
reason to excuse him."

ville at 'J :10 a. m. accompanied by the i
Meehaniesville band, and return at I
10:30 in the evening.
GRADUATES RECEIVE
'DIPLOMAS
Diplomas Friday eve were present
ed to the twenty-seven graduates of
the high school composing the class of
I'.NW Commencement this year was
unique. Instead of holding the ex
ercises in the opera house,as hail been
done for many years, the courthouse
was used. Class day, which resulted
in cutting the long program in half
that formerly occupied several hours
in the evening, was also something
new. It is gratifying that each de
parture was a success and that com
mencement passed off without a hitch
of any sort or the occurrence of a
single circumstance to mar the plea
sure of the event.
The court room was rendered attrac
tive by appropriate decorations. The
bar was draped with heavy folds of
pink and green, the class colors, while
the class pennant was spread upon the
wall above the main entrance. A pro
fusion of palms,ferns and roses group
ed about tlie bar added much to the
appearance.
The address to the graduates by
Hon. Fred Ikeler was a masterpiece.
No greater display of eloquence has
been heard in Danville for some time.
The address revealed remarkable pen
etration, keen moral perceptiou and
sound logic, while the conclusions
reached could not but appeal to every
person present.
In his address Mr. Ikeler dwelt on
the principles that govern and mould
tiie life of young people. The time
was, lie said, when only the poor
and the ignorant worked. Today great
burdens rest on all men ; today from
the poor mechanic to the head of great
corporations, to the millionaire him
self, it is work, work, work.
The question with the graduate is
not, shall I work, but what shall I
work at. We are best fitted for that
calling which we most love. If we
love our work for the work's sake we
have chosen wisely. Wo must be sure,
though, that we are uot in love with
the reward of any line of work but
with the duties of that calling.
The second thought is : How shall
we work? Work conscientiously and
thoroughly,adopting as a fundamental
principle always to do more and al
ways a little better than is required
of us. We should never be satisfied
uutil we have given the world the
very best that God has given us.
Never work with the mere hope of
receiving reward, but with the
thought: How much cau I putin the
work? Take care of that end of the
proposition and the world will take
care of the other end. Do your work
well and the reward will come.
Mr. Ikeler with all the force and the
eloquence at his command illustrated
every point, citing example after ex
ample to prove that only those succeed
in life who have wisely chosen their
calling, who are conscientious and
thorough aud whose soul is in their
work.
SALT METHODS.

One ■ tli>' s:,h,s '■ Ihe Great Salt
l.le of I't.dh- d -.clop '<l by the prog
ress of scientific industry, is the sys
tem hi immense :111 making ponds on
the shore of the lake. At Saltair the
lake water is pumped into a great set
tine; basin, where the impurities fall
to the bottom and, containing much
Iron, form a reddish deposit. From
this basin the water is drawn off into
"harvesting ponds" averaging 1)0,000
square yards in area and six Inches In
depth. The pouds are kept supplied
with water, as the evaporation goes on
from May to September, when the salt
harvest begins. The water havfhg dis
appeared, a dazzling layer of salt two
or three inches thick is found covering
the bottom of the ponds, which is bro
ken up with plows before being con
veyed to the mills, where the final
crushing and winnowing are done.
In general the salt marshes of the
Kongo region represent a kind of pock
et or rift in the soil. They are to be
found In considerable uumbers In the
district of Sauibalt, and there are also
many of these marshes on the left
bank of the river Lufubu. The walls
of the rift show tirst a layer of black
-1: h clay mixed with sand and contaln-
I lug numerous quartz and sllex peb
bles or more exceptionally black and
white shells, fragments of oyster and
mussel. Then comes a layer of strati
fied and gray blue schist. The soil of
the depression also contains schist as
the greater constituent aud Is covered
by a layer of sandy clay. In order to
collect the salt the natives dig a fun
nel shaped hole from six to ten feet
deep. The cavity soon tills up with a
warm and clear water, which is
strongly charged with salt. It comes
up with considerable | -sure, and the
liquid seems to boil. The salt Is partly
precipitated at the bottom of the cav
ity and mixes with the soil to form a
blackish mud. The latter is washed
out with hot water to extract the salt,
which i- then crystallized from the so
lution The product which is thus ob
tained is of a salty gray color, and its
taste is more alkaline than that of Eu
ropean salt.
liriclii of City I'lnn*.
Aii cities, with few exceptions, trace
the origin of their plan to the inclosed
camp, and many still show marked
features of primitive fortifications. In
all early scheme for defense the in
closed square was considered the best.
From the time when wagons were
merely parked on the plain to th<« time
when buildings were constructed with
blank walls to the enemy, and their
facades to the open square, this plan
lias been universally adopted, and
many of the great squares or market
places of great cities still show unde
niable evidences of these precautions
for defense. In the old city of Brus
sels the square upon which faces its
wonderful city hall is approached bv
streets so narrow that they must sure
ly have been constructed with the idea
of defense in mind.—Architects and

lVllhain nervously paced the plat
form. In twenty minutes the train
; would come and take him away from
Kotan and his brief dream of paradise.
It would take liiiu back to town, and
lie would try to forget that he had ever
been engaged to Alice Carver.
It was funny, lie thought, that they
never should have had disputes until
they had become engaged, but since
• Christmas eve, when lie had slipped the
ring upon her finger and had assured
her that it bound her to him for life,
there had been nothing but misunder
standings, culminating in the dispute
of last night, when she had given back
the ring and had left him with head
erect—to break down when she reach
ed her own room.
; The Carver house party had lasted
| well into the new year, and there
i were still half a dozen guests at the
big house. lie wondered kitterly if Al
! ; ice would be engaged to Jordan before
; the party broke up. Jordan had kissed
i ; her tinder the mistletoe Christmas eve,
j and Jordan had been the bone of con
■ j tent ion ever since. He was so occupied
over Jordan's shortcomings that he
never noticed Fay Gressit's approach
until she tapped him lightly upon the
arm.
"I'm in the most awful fix," she
laughed. "1 came to the station and
never realized that I was a pauper.
Can you let me have §2O? There is no
time to send back to Carver castle."
l'ellham performed a lightning calcu
lation. His ticket had cost him SK.4O.
That from S2O left sll.t}o. It would
never do to confess that he did not
have it. Fay would gloat over the fact
that she had caught Hob Pellham pen
niless. He raised bis hat.
"Certainly," he said. "Wait here and
' 1 will purchase your ticket and look
' after your trunk."
He stepped into the waiting room

chase a ticket, i.e remembered it had
taken liim about three minutes, and at
the end of a similar period he stepped
on the platform again with the paste
board and change in his hand, as If he
had ju.-t come from the window.
"It will be i-'al nice to have your
company to town." sue said. Bob col
ored.
"I've changed my mind," he explain
ed. "I'm not going to town this morn
ing. May wait until the last traiu."
"I will have father send a check to
your club," she smiled as the train
came in and he saw her settled in the
chair car. "I suppose I shall see you
at Collins' Monday V"
"Surely," he smiled as lie raised his
hat and made for tin? platform, but as
the train grew smaller in the distance
he became less confident. It was Sat
urday afternoon. He could not wire to
his office for money. They closed at
noon, and it was 11 now. lie might
try the boys, but most of them went
out of town over Sunday. In any
event, he should hate to explain that
he had left the Carvers in such a hurry
that lie had not even had time to send
for funds. He made his way to the lit
tle hotel, where tlie landlord's curious
glances made him realize that tlie
transfer to the hotel would excite cu
riosity.
He began to feel that he had acted
very foolishly. If he had confessed to
Fay that he only had $10 —that would
have taken her to town—or told her to
send up to Carver's and have taken the
next train! Now it looked as if lie
should have to stay in the town over
i Sunday.
The landlord could not cash him a
j check, so he took a room and made his
I way to it. After the comfort of Carver

: hot angi r he had not liked to ask his
host to cash a cheek and had gone
away without a thought of eniergen
; cics.
i There is no time to consider the com
i monplace things of life when one has
! just lost the girl lie loves, and all would
: have been well enough had he not
feared Fay Gressit's ridicule.
He made a pretense of reading a
book lie found in his hand bag. but he
(Miiiii nt interest himself in the story
and long before the dusk began to close

He welcomed a knock at the door. It
could only be the porter with coal or
the chambermaid with towels, but
somehow he felt as if he had been
stranded on a desert Island, and he
welcomed the advent of any one. He
sprang to his feet as he cried "Come
in!" and confronted Frank Jordan.
"YI>II will pardon my breaking in up
on your solitude." began Jordan, "but
Mis- Carver sent me for you."
"How did you know I was here?" he
demanded suspiciously.
"Miss Gressit sent a telegram warn-
Ijm us that you were still in town and
nave you tlie telegram?" asked Bob.
■lonian shook his head.
"Mi* -«' irviT has that. She just asked
me lo look you up I say, old chap, I
feel awfully cut up over last night.
There n l!y \ ix nothing to it. Of
eon • I know how you feel. When a
fellow is first engaged lie is jealous of
the res; of* mankind, flood Lord, when
1 w - tlrst engaged to Kay I used to be
' jealous even of her riding master."
"You en; , je I to Fay Gressit?" shout
ed Hob "I thou lit you were—well, in
forested in Alice."
"Sure I'm inter-sted," agreed Jordan.
"Shi 's I u a sort of fairy godmother

sit (if'."- not approve of me; thinks I'm
not I mateli for Fay, and if it
weren't for Alice 1 don't know what
we would h ive done."
•I suppo- • everybody is laughing at
my st a y in - ;' behind." said Pellham
weakly.
"Don't know anything about it," de
clared Jordan. "1 can let you have
what you nerd and you can go right on
to town or you can come back with me
and simply explain that you changed
your mind. If 1 were you I'd go back.
Alice - iys you have a ring that belongs
to her."

these tiling; together."
Some hours later liob and Alice sat
in tlie musi ■ room while Jordan was
doing his Ii -1 to hold the rest of the
crowd in t' ■ i l ' ary with parlor magic.
"I'm awfully glad you came back,"
whispered Alice as she slipped her hand
the one with the ring on it—into his.

"Hut what made her think I was go

I was going down on the next train."
"She .-aw you buy your ticket and
that there was only the one bill la your
purse. She knew that if you stayed
over there would be a chance for an
explanation, so she borrowed every
cent you had and telegraphed us from
J the next stop jii<t what she had done."
[ "I think," aid I'ellhaiu slowly, "that
i I owe Fay a great deal more than she

Foreign Ilodiivs In tlie Flenh.
It is not an uncommon thing for peo
ple to carry needles, pins, bullets and
bits of steel around with them for half
a lifetime, but no one can be found
who would be willing voluntarily to
undertake such a burden. And yet
there are instances where articles
which might seem to be of a most dan
gerous character have been carried in
the body for years. A man, in repair
ing a building, fell through a window,
breaking the gl iss and severely cutting
one of his arms. The wound was care
fully and antiseptically dressed, and
the man went about his business.
Three years later he called upon the
; doctor who had attended him and coui
' plained of a boil on his wrist. The
physician casually mentioned the iu
i jury which he had sustained and asked
| him if he suffered any inconvenience
' from it. lie answered, "No, not much,"
j but said that at times there was a pe
culiar sensation between the elbow
and shoulder. Upon examination the
doctor found a long splinter of glass
just ready to prick through tlie skin at
a point several inches above the place
where it had originally entered. The
glass was drawn out, the wound prop
erly dressed, and the man recovered,
thereafter being entirely free from the
annoying sharp pains to which he had
for years been subject.
Well lialmieed Cat*.
"Did you know that if you cut a cat's
tail off she can't catch mice uuy
more?" asked a young woman of an
other.
"I don't see why," replied the other,
"and, further, I can't imagine what
occasion you have bad for cutting off
cats' tails to see."
"I haven't cut oiT any cats' tails, but
an accident deprived our cat of its
caudal appendage. The feline became
as helpless as a ship without a rudder.
When it tried to spring upon an ob
ject it would alight far to one side.
The look of p lined surprise on tlie
cat's features was pathetic. After
awhile it learned to jump straight
again, but it was a long and painful,
experience for the poor cat. The bal->
a nee of power and the power to bal
ance seem to lie in the tail of the eat."

A CURIOUS PROBLEM.
The Trembling I'illur at Iteluin »
Puzzle to Arch Meet*.
The famous trembling pillar at Reims
presents a curious problem to archi
tects. The Church of St. Nieaise is sur
rounded with pillars constructed to
prevent the walls from straining. At
the entrance of the church is a bell
tower. On one of the bells In this tow
er the phenomenon of the trembling
pillar depends. When this bell is rung
or even touched the top of this pillar
sways.
It goes and returns about seven
inches on each side, although the base
of the pillar is immovable, and the
stones are s» tirmly cemented that it
seems like a solid piece of stoue.
Au authority who states that no
satisfactory solution of this peculiarity
lias been gives writes: "What is very
singular is that, although the four bells
are about the same distance from the
trembling pillar, only one of them has
any effect on it. The others may be
rum; singly or all together without
moving it."
In 1770 a little window was made in
the ro if of the church opposite the pil
lar. A board was placed on top of the
pillar, and on it were put two glasses
of water. Then the bell was rung. Im
mediately the pillar began to sway, and
at the lil'ih stroke of tlie bell tlie two
g!as.-<>s were thrown off.
The ringing of this bell lias no effect
< , the pillars let ween the phenomenal
one and tl: • t. wer nor on any of the
other- lnt ; ■ -inerly it was the tirst pil
lar which .v t.ved, then it became im
movable, and >nie years ago the one
next to it becru'. the eccentric one.
