FOB PHEASANTS
HARRISBUKO, Oct. 17.
I»r Kalhfii-, secretary of the State
gaun • niuiis-ioii, is receiving reports
from his wardens in different parts of
the State on the quantity of game thus
far ' i-erved. and all are of the most
encouraging character.
Pheasants will U< plentiful every
where, ' said Dr. Kalbfus this luoru
iug. " and «sjiecially iu the southern
tier of. untie- In Adams county our
reports ar that there are mote pheas
ants there than have been for many
years. "
How about wild turkejs," was
asked.
WILD 'l't RKKYS NOT PLENTIFUL
"I'm - irrv ro -av that wild turkeys
are not plentiful, but there are some
seen along the Allegheny range and in
t!t»- n irth What is most gratifying to
us is that there are so few violations
"t the game law- reported It shows
tl »t the people are taking an interest
hi nl -'-rviiig the laws, and are seeing
thi»t others do so. There is but one
complaint now where there used to be
ten."
Secretary Kalbfus has engaged from
private preserves in the northeastern
part of the State sixty does for pro
pagating purfNises.aml will place them
on the three forestry game reserva
tions mi apart on land owned by the
State. These reservations are located
iu <'b-articld, Clinton and Franklin
count ies.aud are each about four miles
square in size. They are surrounded
by a -ingle w ire fence, and intended
as a refuge for game.
RULES FOR RESERVATIONS.
The State game commission has
p. -ted signs about thirty feet apart,
whi.-b read as follows:
No person shall for any purpose
within the limits of this wire hunt
for or shoot, or in anv way iutentiou
ally molest or disturb game of any
kind or any wild bird protected by the
!aw- of Pennsylvania.
•'The land surrounded by this wire
and tin se notices is owned by the
CommotiM ealth and has beeu set apart
by the department of forestry for the
use of the game commission. * # *
The purpose is to give wild birds a
haven of refuge into which they can
retreat and Im* safe at all times, thus
giving that feeling of jieace aud se
curity that is ue -essarv to its most ex
tensive increase, in the hope that the
hi. i-a-e thus to-t- red will overflow
into adjoining territory where it may
be taken in the open season as fixed by
law."
The close season for all the of re
servations lias been fixed at six years
from July lis*"., and violatois will
b»* prosecuted.

DOVE FLOWERS Hi
BUNCH OF BiMNAS
Among other improvements at the
hospital for the insane the greenhouses
have been greatly altered and enlarg
ed, which not only make them more
nearly adequate to supply t lie demand
for flowers, but also improve their ap
pearance and make them really one of
the most striking groups of buildings
on the hospital grounds.
The building known as the palm
house has been entirely rebuilt 011 tin
old foundation, being raised during
the process to nearly double its form
er height It is now twenty feet to tin
eaves, with a high and very slanting
roof. The entire surface, end, and
roof, comprising about 4500 square
feet, is formed of glass anil the recon
structed palm house rises from the
centre of the group like a crystal tow
er.
In addition to the palm house a
wholly new annex, 48x18 feet,has been
constructed to be used as a carnation
building. The improvements have been
made wholly under the supervision of
A. C. Angle, head builder at the hos
pital.
Quite as interesting as the improve
ments about the buildings are some of
the floral and other products on the in
terior. James Benham, the florist in
charge, is one of the leading horticul
turists in this section and it is seldom,
indeed, that he has not something
beautiful aud rare to show the visitor,
.lust at present one form of attraction
is some beautifully formed dove ttow
| crs, which, although in bloom for
| some time, are still in a good state of
preservation. The dove flower is prob
-1 ably one of the greatest marvels in the
floral kingdom and is very rare. The
I flower, which is richly fragrant, is snow
1 white in color; it is not large, being
' about an inch and a half in diameter.
There are several rows of petals most
curiously arranged, the inner ones
forming, with the central stamen,
' nearly a perfect image of a dove
with drooping head aud wings half
extended.
The dove flower was discovered in
Central America by the Spaniards in
1714. Its cultivation has never become
general iu this country. At the pres
ent time, Mr. Benham says, there is
none grown nearer Danville than Pliil
' arlelphia and Washington. Mr. Ben
! ham has cultivated dove flowers for 13
I years and has been very successful.
! He has three large plants which have
! been in bloom for about two months
and are very beautiful specimens,
i Another product at the hospital
■ greenhouse, which is something of a
curiosity, is a banana plant. This has
j attained a height of some live feet and
is bearing a bunch of bananas. The
banana of commerce has become very
familiar, but few people have any cor
rect idea of just how it grows. Tin
plant at the hospital, therefore, is a
good object lesson to show what the
growing fruit is like.

The first step toward what is believ

of the fire companies in this district
from the State Firemen's Association
was consummated Friday night when
the Liberty Hose company.of Shamok
in, decided to send a delegate to the
six county Firemen's association
which meets at Mahanoy City next
June. Other companies will likely fall
in line and do likewise, though up to
the present no action has been taken,
although iu many towns the matter
has been discussed.
At the last meeting of the I-county
association at Bloomshurg the counties
of Northumberland and Montour were
included, making it a six county as

Northumberland, Columbia, Luzerne,

A great deal of dissatisfaction was
expressed over the recent Gettysburg

of the Liberty company will be an < li

in the breaking away of many of the

MIAN DWELLING
OVGB SHEARS OLD
The improvements on the Gerstncr
building, Mill strei t are nearly com
pleted and give the structure quite a
modern appearance. The new front
with its large plat< gla-s windows,
especially adds very much m the ap
pearance. in remodeling the building
the first floor wa - raisid to conform
with the < stablished grade.
Work yesterday was begun on the
raising of the Gillaspy building, the
contract for which is held by 11. B.
Sharplcss ot Bloomshurg. This leaves
but one house sitting down below tin
present grade—the Hartman building
adjoining the Gerstncr building, just
raised. Whether anv plans are i n loot
looking to the. raising and remodeling
of this building is not known. The
structure will be a difficult one to
modernize owing to the fact that it al
ready has been raised several times.
It is not generally known that the
Hartman building is one of the oldest
in Danville aud that it was built over
ninety years ago. It was one of the
stateliest structures thatjstood in Dan
ville in the olden time. The front is
built of English brick, as at the time
the house was built, no brick were
manufactured here. The English brick
belouged to a shipment which was
brought to this locality by the Priest
lys of Northumberland.
When tho house was erected Mill
street was on its original level. There
were then four steps leading to the
first floor, which has already been rais
ed as required by change of grade four
feet and six inches and is still about a
foot below the level of the pavement.
The first floor has been raised so often
that further change in the building
seems impossible without raising each
of the floors, which might make it
necessary to cut out one story. On the
whole the remodeling of the building
presents so many difficulties that it
has not beeu undertaken.

The most difficult part of the work
lies in the front of the building and

A LUMBER
HAULING FROLIC
A somewhat novel scene presented
itself on .Mill street Monday, when a
long procession of lumber waging,
some thirty in number, came across
the river bridge and later disappeared
out over the State highway.
An oxplanati n lay in the fact that
the teams were all from the country .
and belonged to farmers-who wet>) j
participating in a lumber hauling
"frolic'' to assist two citizens who
were so unfortunate as to lot'e their
barns by lightning and are lehuild
ing.
The new barns for which the lumber
is intended belong to Emanuel Sidler
of Valley township, and Clarence
Shalt/, of West IJeiulock township
Mr. Sidler's barn was raised several
weeks ago, since which time the work
has been held up for the want of lum
ber. Mr. Shultz lias scarcely more than
began the work of rebuilding.
Seldom before in the history of this
county has lumber been brought so
far for am- of its barns. The lumber
which is of the long leaf yellow pine
variety, was shipped from Moselle,
Miss , a point, only 150 miles from
New Orleans. It was just three weeks
on the way.
The lumber for the two barns arriv
ed at South Danville 011 last Friday.
Lightning played dreadful havoc
among the barns of this section dur
ing last summer and the farmers who
escaped, loss, to show their gratitude
as well as their sympathy for those
less fortunate, generously united in a
body and offered their services gratis
to haul the lumber. The result of it
all was that what would have requir
ed a few teams several days to accom
plish was done by the "frolic" in the
fraction of a day. The following farm
ers with their teams participated:
for Mr. Sidler's barn—J. F. Hcud
rickson, L. C. Shultz, Hiram Childs,
John Wintersteen, Hurley Benfield,
Charles Plocli, David Wintersteen,
Pierce Gearhart, Harry Yeager, Ed
ward Valkmau, William Wintersteen,
William E. Moore, Clyde Sidler, Nor
] man Kitchen and John Crossley.
For Shnltz's barn James Haas,
j Clarke Boone, Latt inter Whipple, Wil-
I liam 15. Shultz, John Shultz, Peter
Shultz, Augustus Shultz, and J. W.
Ande.
The entire number participating fed
their horses and took dinner in Dan
ville. Those hauling for Clarence
Shultz were entertained at Clarence
Peifcr's hotel, North Mill street. Tl.ose
1 haul ill'' for Mr. Sidler were entertain
led at tin 1 Gilluspy houso near the

ADVANCE TIPS
ON WINTER
With winter approaching the chiefs
of the United States weather Bureau
arc stirring themselves to ascertain if
possible, whether a severe and stormy
season may he expected. In conjunc
tion with the American meterologists,
t hose of France and England are mak
ing experiments. Up to the present
India is the only country in the world
in which seasonable or long disl <nce
predictions have been successfully
made.
The method there in vogue is local,
the weighing of the snow fall oil the
Himalya mountains for the prior w in
ter determining to a certain degree
the atmospheric tendencies for the
twelve month to follow.'ln this coun
try two main lines of investigation
have been outlined :
first—What extra percentage of heat
is the earth receiving from the cycl
onic disturbances in the vi, 000,000
square miles of the photosphere of the
sun that are commonly known as sun
spots?
Second—By mean of kites and ob
servations at various altitudes it is be
ing attempted to determine the varia
tions in barometric pressure and of
temperature in the various air planes.
SOME OF THE PREDICTIONS.
But while scientists are investigat
ing, farmers and mariners have other
guides that have been tested from tune
immemorial. The homely woodpecker
knows instinctively what is in store
for it. When he leaves for the south
cold weather is assured. When Tie
pecks low on trees tha farmer says we
will have a warm winter. But. when
the ivory-billed woodpecker begins to
peck low on the trees and pecks all the
way to the top, taking all the bark off,
look for a hard winter and deep snow,
say our agricultural friends.
Another prediction is contained in
the familiar rhyme:
If the November goosebone be thick,
So will the winter be.
If the November goosebone be thin,
So will the weather he.
If the breastbone of the goose is red
or has many red spots a cold and
stormy winter is sure, the weather
wise assert.
The first of October was damp and
chilly, but there is comfort in the
adage: '"lf we do not get our Indian
summer in October or November we
shall get it in the winter."
The stock exchange guide says: A
dry summer through the central part
of the United State signifies a defici
ency in thi> corn crop, which meant
that our ham and bacon will cost us
during the following winter. A wet
spring in the wheat belt means a higli
er price for flour. Unseasouable weath
.er in the south signifies that a few
months later we shall be obliged tc
pay more for coti >ll goods. A frost ii
Florida means a higher price foi
oranges.

liarly Closing Season Here.
Early closing for the season is at an
end and the stores this week are re
maining open until 8 o'clock or any
hour that suits the convenience of the
merchant. Mill street, therefore, pre
sents a business like and animated ap
pearance in keeping with a wideawake
progressive town and will continue t<
; show up thus favorably until at lea-i
; after the holidays.
It is seldom that early closing con
tinues until such a late date as Octo
ber 15. The tendency seems to be to
| ward early closing the year around and
each season the intervals during which
I the stores are open grow shorter and
j shorter. A few of the stores began
keeping open on October Ist. Put tin
majority remained closed until Mon
day night last. Even at that date one
or two were not ready to open,but lasf
night the street was illuminated from
' end to end.
j By common consent with many of
the merchants 8 o'clock now seems tc
be the hour set for closing. There is
still a lack of uniformity, which causes
a little dissatisfaction. One or more,
who are careful to close at 8 and have
everything prepared to lock-up prompt
ly at that hour, last evening were heard
to complain that others do not begin
; to take in their goods uutil the clock
! strikes and thus, whether iureution
| '
ally or not, keep their stores open and
invite trade until much later. It is
nine o'clock and even after before
some of the stores are locked up.
It is a question, however, with some
of the dealers,[now that early clos
ing for the season is at an end,win fil
er the merchants as a bod}' are bound
to close at any particular hour. It
would not be surprising, therefore, il
a few stores continue to keep open un
til any hour that it suits their con
venience to close.

to abolish the clerical tickets after

Alley Paved With Vitrified ftrick
The stri t commissioner has finish
ed laying the vitrified brick ]»nvement
in Swentek's alley, leading from Mill
street toward Mahoiiiug creek. This
is a m-i h-needed improvement and
one that was long deferred.
The case presented complications,
tlie alley be ; ng undoubtedly a private
one, although used by the public and
on', which under the peculiar condi
tions existing, was indispensable
There was a good deal of heavy
hauling through the alley and for
years Mr Sw< »tek protested,claiming
that t ie ii'," |) worn were damag
ing the foundation walls fit' the two
l,n> : dim - abutting on the narrow pass
age. H did not object to the use of
the alli v, but he insisted that the bor
ough protect his buildings by paving
the alleyway or repairing it in some
other manner that would resist wear
and tear Ti.e matter has claimed
attention for years and council after
council has ta'"en up the matter only
to defer action indefinitely.
The present council it seems was the
first to take tho broad and liberal view
of the ca-e that all the circumstances
seem to demand and to proceed to have
the alley paved The work was author
i/ed last month. It was completed with
little outlay of effort at a total cost of
less than a hundred dollars.

Church street was tapped and several

while the excavating, which is nearly

is pronounced by P. J. Iveefer, super

slowly although the trench required

Found De?d at Berwick.
Reports of another murder at Ber
wick eminated in a man beiug found
dead along the D. L. & W. tracks at
that place, in the roar of the Berwick
water works Tuesday morning.
The man was James Dolan of Hazle
ton, aged about 30 years, and soine
what known in this section. At first
some mystery surrounded the death,
but an examination by Deputy Coron
er Sutton and Dr. Hensvl cleared up
the matter, and death was found to
have been caused by asphvxiat iou-due
to the sulphur fumes from the warm
ashes from the pumping station on
which he had evidently laid down to
sleep.
Dolan came to Berwick from Hazle
ton on Friday to secure work, and be
ing unsuccessful, went to Wilkes-
Barre, returning to Berwick Monday.
With a friend,he had been about town
all day drinking, and the men parted
in the evening at the D. L. & W. sta
tion, Dolan going down the track to
ward the water works. The ashes from
the boilor are duyiped on a bank in
the rear of the building and as the
warm ashes offered an inviting spot to
rest,the man evidently laid down here
and fell asleep,the sulphur fumes from
the ashes then getting in their deadly
work.
When Kobert Edwards, the day en
gineer. came on dutfr Tuesday "morn
ing at t> o'clock, be came across what
he supposed was a sleeping hobo, but
efforts to arouse the man showed he
was dead. A big cjowd quickly gath
ered and the doctor pronounced him
dead several hours, j The whole side of
the holy was scorclied from the heat
of the ashes. A coroner's jury was im
paneled, and declared death was due
to asphyxiation The body was taken
to an undertaker; and Tuesdav af
ternoon relatives came from Hazletou
and took the body home for burial. A
mother, several brothers and sisters
live at that place.
When a horse is so overworked it lies
down and in other ways declares its
inability togo further,you would con
sider it criminal to use force. Mauy a
man of humane impulses, who would
not willingly harm a kitten, is guilty
ot cruelty where Ins own stomach is
concerned. Overdriven, overworked,
when what it needs is something that
will digest the food eaten and help the
stomach to recuperate. Something like

NEW FORM UK AMUSEMENT.
The Monessen Daily Independent in
forms us that "tne children of Mones
sen have buckled onto a new form of
amusement." It turns out that they
have taken to the sling shot.an inven
tion that was not even new in the days
when the young shepherd of Bethle
hem slew the giant champion of the
enemy of the people with a smooth
stone from the brook. From that day
to this the sling shot has been a
menace not only to Philistines but al
so to the most amiable men and wo
men. A "new form of amusement!"
Hardly too new.
