to attend to some chickens. Returning
she seated herself with the remark
that she felt tired. A few minutes laf

1 THREE BURGLARIES

A series of burglaries, throe in num

farmers living between this city and
Bloonisburg during Sunday night.
Tin 1 homes of Frank Mensch, .John
Mensch and Edward Roth wore enter
od, but at none of the places did the
burglars make very large hauls. The
victims were not .twain that their
houses had been entered until next
morning.
At Frank Mcnsch's home a pane of j
glass was removed and the window
thus raised. The burglars here secur
ed #4 in money and a fountain pen
from a bureau drawer.
At the home of John Mensch the
burglars raised a window near the
head of tho bed where Mr. and Mrs.
Mensch sleep, and it is thought that
tho aged couple wore "doped," as dur
ing tho next morning they experienc
ed the peculiar drowsy feeling that ac
companies the use of that kind of
drugs. Hero tho maramlers rifled 12
coats and succeeded in procuring but
one cigar.
At the home of Edward Roth a gold
watch and chain, a new hat and s."> in
money were missed.
At none of the places entered were
tho burglars molested at their work,
they left no clues behind and appar
eutly have made good their escape.
Invitation Not (iood for Seat
The idea prevails that the invita
tion, known as the general invitation,
of which 25,000 have been sent out by
the new capitol dedication commis
sion,and a number of which have boon
received by people in Danville, en
titles the receiver to a seat on the
grand stand. This is a mistake. There
are no courtesies extended with the
invitaton for the reason that it is it
self a conrtesy. A special invitation
has been issued to those who will oc
cupy seats on the grand stand on ded
ication day, and only tho nnmberthat
can occupy the grand stand are so fav
ored, including tho now capitol com
mission, dedicatory commission, the
governor and cabinet, United States
senators and congressmen, State sen
ators and members of the house. State
officials and distinguished citizens.
Numbered tickets will be provided for
these, and nobody will be admitted to
the grand stand unless holding such a
ticket.

AGED HOBO
DESCRIBES HARD LOT
An old man of patriarchal appear
ance, hut ragged and soiled and un
mistakably a tramp,attracted attention
in the upper part of town Saturday af
ternoon as lie wearily tottered along
the street as it at every moment ho
might fall by the wayside. It was not
a pleasant picture, hut although the
old man, with his dirty face, and his
grey hair and heard, tangled and un
kempt, was not an agreeable object to
look upon, yet there was much about
him to awaken a feeing akin to real
pity.
The venerable hobo permitted him
self to be interviewed Taking his seat
iilioii a tire plug and holding in his
blue-veined hand, which trembled
painfully, a small dirty bundle that
contained his personal effects, he bent
his lusterless eye intently upon the
questioner. It was some moments be
fore he answered :
"How old?! I'm 7? "
In reply to further question he ad
mitted that he had tramped all his life
and that he expected to tramp on un
til his foot steps stopped short and he
fell into his grave. He was asked why
at his age he did not abandon the life
of a wanderer He looked up indig
nantly and asked?
"Where would I go? Once a man
starts out on th<> road lie's like the
wandeiin' Jew. The curse is on him
and he can t stop. I can't walk, ex
cept with pain, but I must go; I even
dare not rest too long here. lam un
der orders to move on. You don't want
tramps in your town. They don't want
'em in the next, but I must go—go,
go, go. When too sick to walk 1 have
been hauled out of towns by the auth
orities for tear I'd become a charge on
them—hauled out of town and deposit
ed like a log of wood by the roadside,
near the next town. I have even been
furnished with money and sent short
distances on the cars, but no one has
ever given me a home or helped me to
find a place where 1 might rest for the
few days that remain So I am still
going on." As he uttered tha last
words his face was illumined with a
grim and barely perceptible smile.
"For years," lie went on,"1 have
been trying to get into the poorhouses,
but they tell me there they take care
of the of their own districts and
have no place for the man of the road.
The first questions they ask me are:
Where is your home where was your
last residence - ' My last residence was
in Germany I've had no home since.
They therefore don't know where to
send me, so they keep passing me on,
I driving me along when lean walk and
helping me a little when 1 can't."
flove for I iiion Delivery Service.
The Merchants Protective associa
tion of Berwick is considering tiie ad
option of a union delivery system
something which has been adopted ex
tensively thronghont the west, ami
which could easily be- applied to Dan
vilie and all other places of not to<
large a jtopulation.
The scheme is to establish a contra!
station to which each merchant would
send all his goods to be delivered about
town. From this station deliveries
would be made at stated times in tlie
day ; and each dealer would pay foi
the service in proportion to his busi
ness. In most instances wagons fron
the central station go around to the
stores and make the collections ol
goods, as does the express companies,
each driver having his own particulai
territory to cover.
According to thi- method, every
merchant gets perfectly satisfactory
service, and at a much less expense
than keeping a delivery outfit and
driver of his own. The scheme is alst
a big boon to small dealers whose
business would otherwise not warrant
the keeping of a delivery wagem. And
on tho other hand, this method on*
the people become accustomed to it, it
much preferred by them to the oh
method. Bach housekeeper knows at
just what hour each day to expect hot
purchases, and all annoyance of sever
al delivery wagons calling at all hours
of the day is done away with.

READY FOR COURT
IN SUNBURY
Jll comparison t«• the quiet and I>i i*• 1
sessions of court that arc the rule in
Montour the following article from the
Sunhury Daily rtsliitito the prepara
tions for tln> September term in North
umbcrland is interesting
Criminal court opens in this city
Monday, September 21, and th.it this
term will bo a decidedly strenuous one
is shown by the fact that over two
hundred cases will come up for trial
Some of them were continued from
last year, but the majority are new
The principal case on this year's
calendar is one in which Charles Fern
of Mt. Carmel, is accused of being the
primary cause of the death of ten year
old Annie Berryman, of that town,
who died from the elfeets ot i crimiii
al assault.
Burglary, highway robbery, assault
and battery,larceny and counties* oth
er petty cases will come up for trial,
and District Attorney Cunimiugs and
his assistant, Thomas N. Burke, are
now engaged in their preparation.
Most of these cases, of course, come
from Shamokiu and other enterprising
towns in the coal regions Shooting
affrays and disgraceful drunken rows
occur among the illiterate foreigners
with disgusting frequency. They cele
brate every birth, marriage or death
among thoir friends, and everv eele
brat ion terminates in a brawl, witli
the result that tlie principals almost
invariably find their way through the
court room to the jail.
It is surprising how long the people
in the western townships and boroughs
continue to tolerate the abuse of the
courts by the worthless foreign ele
nieut of the country.
Court means little to Sunburians
further than the infesting of our
streets with evil looking Poles, Huns
and Italians, who leave i trail of tilth
in their wake and who block the side
walks so that women arc forced to
walk on the other side in order to
avoid them.

MANY PARALLELS
The West Chester Village Record
contains a story which has many par
allels in various sections of the eoun
try. It tells of the admission ol a
well known citizen of Phocnixville to
the Chester county home. It says that
a few years ago lie was the head of
the leading firm of contractors and
builders in Phocnixville. He was a
fine mechanic, had a pretty home on
the finest avenue in the town and wa
in a prosperous condition. Some time
ago he began to drink and neglected
his business. His partner left him and
the public began to lose confidence in
him. He neglected his family, became
a nuisance, spent much of his time in
the bar rooms and frequently ended
his debauches in the lockup Now ho
has reached the bottom of the ladder
and is an inmate of the almshouse.
The Record says he is still in the
prime of life and might have a fufuri
if he could conquer his .qipetite for
drink. What a lesson there ought to
be in this story for other men w ho arc
tempted by drink '

I'., lias !ia<l a signal honor con for red
upon it. If has been designated as one
of two companies to represent tlie
Twelfth regiment at the dedication of
the cnpitol at Harrishurg on Thurs
day, October Ith. Captain J. Heaver
Gearhart was notified to the above ef-
Pct Friday ami requested to advise
the colonel at once whether he could
accept this detai 1.
Company F t«> till requirements for
the occasion will bo composed of three
otHcers and sixty men, wearing the
blue uniform witli blue belts. None
but reliable men will be chosen on the
above occasion and the penalty for
breach of discipline will he heavy.

panies must be full. Neither will any
enlisted men be entitled to participate
except those whose enlistment papers
ire now on file in tin adjutant gener
al's department.
Captain Gear hart Friday night stat
ed that he would unquestionably accept
the detail, as Company F easily comes
np to all the requirements. Since but
two companies are to be selected from
the regiment the boys of company F
had little hope of being selected for
participation in the grand demonstra
tion and tho good news consequently
comes as quite a surprise to them.
Each ollieer and enlisted man will be
allowed one dollar on account- of sub
sistence on October 4.

Pupils Must he Vaccinated.
Attorney Gene ral Carson Saturday
sent a letter to a Berks county man
who had queried him on the vaccina
tion law in which he emphatically
declared that the school is no place for
an unvaccinated pupil. Tho letter is
terse, but stronger than those which
the attorney general lias issued on tho
subject.
The letter was add rosed to Levy N.
Christiuan, Strausslown, Berks coun
ty, and says:
"Keplying to your letter I answer
that it is the imperative duty imposed
by statute, sustained by tho supreme
court, upon every teacher to exclude
an unvaccinated pupil from the
schools. I cannot too emphatically re
pea' what 1 have frequently said be
fore, that the schools are open to vac
cinated children only, and that any
teacher who tolerates the presence of
an unvaccinated child, or fails to re
quire the production from a reputable
doctor of a certificate of vaccination
or a previous case of small pox, is a
violator of the law. The queston as to
when the term of the teacher began is
wholly immaterial."

MILL ST. TO BE
PAVED NEXT SPUING
Definite information was gathered
Friday that tin- reconstruction of
North Mill street will not he under
taken by the State this fall. This,how
ever, is not very bad news to Danville
people in view of the fa< t that the
paving will be commenced during the
first favorable weather of next spring.
So long as the 1111 iniate consummation
of the much needed improvement is
assured, a tew months' delay is incon
sequential.
A. S. Clay,assistant engineer in the
State highway department was in Dan
ville Friday, and in company with
Harry Pattou, secretary of council,
and K. S. Miller, street commissioner,
he spent the afternoon in collecting
data about the surface drainage, in
cluding the kind, amount and quant
ity of pipe needed. This, is the last in
formation needed to complete the
plans and specifications, which Mr.
Clay will forward to Harrishurg to
day.
j Mr. Clay Friday stated that the
department would, in all probability,
let the contract for the paving about
November Ist., with the provision at
tached that the contractor ho piepared
to start tin* paving operations on Jo
day's notice during the first mild
weather of spring.

WOULD SOON BE WORTHLESS.
The Grecnsburg Review informs us
that, the Lincoln republicans of West
moreland county at their recent con
veution adopted a resolution demand
iug that the State bear the entire cost
of the public schools, "making them
free in fact as well as in name." It
adds that the farmers of the State arc
taking up the idea enthusiastically.
The Tribune hopes this proposal will
never command the approval of a maj
ority of the people of Pennsylvania.
Schools which cost the local eoinmun
itv nothing would soon sink into dis
repute, lose their efficiency and be
come mere travesties upon education
al institutions. That which costs noth

soon becomes worthless.

A telegram was received in this city
Sunday night announcing the sudden
death of Theodore G. Beaver, which

ver, of Danville, Mrs. John K. Kram
er, of Lewisburg; Mrs. John R. Rote,

Robbed Freight Car at Berwick.
It seems that the robberies of freight
cars and railroad stations along the
D. L. <<fc SV. goes merrily on despite
the occasional arrests for this can-e.
The latest is the pilfering of a freight
car on the siding at the Berwick sta
tion, and a large quantity of valuable
goods consigned to the Berwick Store
company was taken by the marauders
Though the robbery was committed
Saturday night or early Sunday morn
ing, it was kept quiet by the author
ities until now in the hope of captur
ing the guilty parties. The car was
broken into and eight dozen pairs of
scissors and a quantity of razors and
knives taken. A large amount of other
goods, mostly hardware, was left un
molested. No clues to the robbers were
left behind.
CONFUSING LEGISLATION.
Referring to the recent decision < 112
the attorney general of the Cotnmon
wealth that a parent who declines to
have his chibl vaccinated cannot be
fined for neglecting to send the child
to school, for the reason that the law
forbids its entrance, the Lebanon Re
port declares that "it is plain that the
truant oflicer is out of commission so
far as unvaccinated delinquents are
concerned." It adds that "the out
come of such contradictory and con
fusing legislation is neither good for
health nor education."

Need Not Make Change.
It. will probably be an item of news
to most of our readers that the post
master is not compelled to make the
change for you when you make a pur
chase at the post office. This is a queer
rule that one in a thousand know. It
a man wishes to buy lii'ty cents worth
of stamps and has a dollar, lie would
he compelled togo and gel his dollar
changed or do without Si is stamps if
Ihe postmaster refused to make the
change for him. And postmasters are
not compelled to take moie than twen
ty-five pennies at one time, if they do
not want them.
