Montour American. "3AMK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Nov. 29, 1906. OOFLiNS OF IRK IN CONGRESS WASHINGTON. Nov. 28.. With evervthiug prepared for smooth mailing Speaker Cannon in the liou.-a, ami Vice President Fairbanks, in tha senate, will only have to bring down their gavels with a resounding thump at uoon next Monday to start the leg islativeship on its short three months' cruise. This second session of the fifty - niuth congress will adjourn March 4. On account of the many government supply bills to be passed it is extieme ly doubtful whether there will be a chance for much general legislation. There is a stroug probability, how ever, that a river and harbor billl, carrying about sixtv million dollar?, will go through. The only obstacle will be the possible opposition of tha senate should the advocates of tha ship subsidy measure in that bolv de mand that it stand or fall with liia river and harbor bill. SCRAPPING ANTICIPATD. Over these two measures and tha Philippine tariff bill the politicians of the two houses will probably do some scrapping. The administration earnestly desiers the enactment of th# house bill reducing the tariffs on Phil ippine susrar, tobacco and rice to per cent, of the Diugley rates,and ad mitting free all other Philippine pro ducts. The senate held the measure up in the last session. If the subsidy ad vocates in tlie senate have their way they will support the Philippine tarif bill and the river and harbor measure, which is to contain a provision in augurating the proposed deep watar way from the lakes to the gulf. BILLS TO COME UP. Senator LaFolette's bill limiting tha hours of contiuusous labor for rail road employes will have tiie boards iu the senate next week, as the unfinish ed business. The eight hour and anti- Injunction measures, the demand for which by organized labor prompted the American Federation of Labor'a recent excursion into the pDlitical field will come up for discussion during tha session. The eight hour bill has been favorably reported by the house com mittee on labor. Speaker Cannon's op position lias prevented it from being placed before he house. The anti-in junction measure, which President Roosevelt has promised the labor peo ple the will personally consider, is awaiting action at the hands of tha judiciary committee of the house. The chances for the passage of either are ■aid to be very slim. PRESIDENT TO WRITE MESSAGE. The measure making more stringent the rules governing the admission »I aliens into this couutry will uudoubc edly become a law. The measure pass ed both houses and senate last session audit Is now awaiting completion at the hands of conferees. Pure food and railroad rates will be discussed. Early in the «essiou President Roosevlet will send a special message to congress re lating to the Panama canal. The mem bers will have something on campaign frauds and the desirability of publicity regarding campaign contributions. Life insurance and fire insurance re forms will be discussed, but there is little chance of legislation concerning these two matters in the present ses sion.

SUNBURYS FIRE ALARfI SYSTEM Enterprising Suubury recently in stalled a system of automatic fire alarms that was intended to greatly facilitate the efforts of the department of that towu. Nothing but trouble has come from the new system, however. Yesterday the climax came when the whole fire department and a large concourse of other peonle assembled in one part of town in answer to a call, while a fire burned itself out in an other part of the burg, the reason be ing that some one who sent in the alarm didn't understand the working of the new alarm boxes. The alarm boxes are constructed, with a glass frout which is broken when an alarm is to bo seut in. This has proven a boon to the boys of Sun bury who find great delight in break ing the glass to see how the thing works XMAS OR CHRISTMAS. Xmas signs and cards are displayed in the stores, aud this calls up the old discussion for and against the usage of the word Xmas instead of Christ mas,yet few people seem to know that It Is an abbreviation. X represents the Greek symool Chi, which is,as nearly as the sound of one language can be interpreted in another,the same as our two letters C aud H. It is therefore the initial or abbreviation of the name Christmas. An impression seems to have got about that the X was the cross symbol, and therefore incongru ous in combination with so joyful a season as that of Christ's birth, aud this idea has been advanced as an argument against its use. The only real objection to Xmas is that in some persons' eyes an abbreviation of any ■acred name seems lacking in rever ence. One month and the gay Christmas iMion will ba bne. MORE SWAG IS DISCOVERED The identitv of both of the fair shoplifters arrested in this city and committed to jail Tuesday night was pretty conclusively established yesterday morning. Notwithstanding her reticence there seems to no doubt that one is Mrs Krebs of North umberland. The identity of the other woman has been established as Mrs. Laura Hirr of Milwaukee. Her par ents live at Cowan, Union county, this State. Yesterday morning the police made a round of the stores to see if any ad ditional goods could be found in the form of packages left thereby the two shoplifters to be called for later. The set of furs and the sls skirt missed by Abrain Roseustein were recovered, iu addition to which the police recover ed a fine umbrella at Emerick's ten cent store, which was identified by Fred llowo as his property. The t«o women arrested had purchased a plate at Emerick's for ten cen'i.s using tliis as a pretext for visiting the store in order to leave the umbrella there. The plate, along with the umbrolla. of course, was left at the store. As is customary when packages are left to be called for later the saleslady placed the name of the purchaser ou the pack age. In this iustauce she didn't know the purchaser, and was obliged to ask her name. In reply the woman who had bought the plate, later distinguish ed as "Lizzie Doe. tall stout, and wearing eye glasses", gave the name, "MrsKrebs." When the plate with the umbrella was brought to the office of Justice Oglesby yesterday morning one of the first things noted was the uame written on the package which confirmed rumors as to the womau's identity current the evening before. She is said to be the wife of a well known railroad man, who owns a nice home in Northumb rlaud and to have been conspicuously before the public on a previous occasion. During the forenoon a representa tive cf the News called at the jail. The two women behind the bars learn ing of his presence expressed a desire to boo him. An interview followed. The fair prisoueis evidently had had a hard night of it Thoy seemed hag gard and weary ; t!ie\ hai> neglected to "fix up" and altogether their ap pearance was quite different from what they presented the afternoon be fore when thev were "doing" the stores. They begged of the newspaper man to be easy on them They were exceedingly anxious that their real names be kept out of the paper,should these be discovered; they suggested that if it were necessary to allude to riiem in print that the paper continue to speak of them as "Lizzie Doe" and "Sallie Roe" and were lavish in their promises of reward, if their request be complied with. They were asked how they happen ed to become implicated in what was so evidently a bold aud wholesale piece ot thievery. "God oulv knows," replied "Lizzie Doe," as she heaved a deep sigh, which was almost a groan. She then told a story, which is quite remark able—if true. Oa Tuesday morning accompanied by her friend, she said, she left home for the purpose of visitTng a relative at the hospital for the insane at this place. She is troubled with a bad heart aud on her way to this city was taken sick on the cars. The fellow passengers were sympathetic aud help ful aud a gentlemen offered her a drink of brandy. Hoping for relief in her distress she thankfully accepted the brandy. What strange quality tlie liquor possessed she does not know, but the effect was such as she had never experienced before. The next that she remembered the two were drinkiug at a hotel in this city and then all was a blank to her until she found herself in the office of Justice Oglesby. "Sallie Roe" was also anxious to keep out of the public print. In reply to a question whether she did not live in Williamsport, she demanded to know "who ever said anything iike that," denying that she was from that place. She declared that she was from the west aud was only east on a visit. She strenuously refused to divulge either her name or residence. "Lizzie Doe" said she had hopes that her husband would appear and act as boudsman to secure her release. Of this, however, siie did not appear overconfident "Sallie Koo", how ever, was buoyed up by no such hopes In reply to a question she shook her head mournfully and remarked There is no one anywhere about the East whom I could expect togo my bail." Yesterday afternoou b' C. Krebs, of Northumberland, called at the News office, explaining that tie was the hus band of Mrs. Krebs. The object of his visit to town, he said, was to procure bill fir his wife and, if possible, for b tii women. He was in communica tion witli friends in Berwick, whom he expected to meet hi at in Danville. Last eveniug it was stated that bail might ba secured today. It was Mr. Krebs who explained the identity of the Harr woman. Hoff's Thii We offer one Hundred Doilat s ■ Ke» »r< to *ny case of Catarrh tlmtcun oil heru.-i-u by Hall's Catarrh t'u re.

Bnild'iiK '* Vol Sfrfmary to Good Health, ami Severe Training tVwiUon* the Heart anil Nerve* arid l.owor« Vitality. Once beyond the bounds of modera tion, physical exercise and physical training not only weaken the heart for n lifetime, predispose to pneumonia, cause pulmonary tuberculosis and make extra possible a dozen other Ills, but they unlit a man from being the Ideal husband and father. Dr. Robert E. Coughlin of Brooklyn, says the New York Times, has been collecting statistics upon and follow ing the careers of athletes for years, lie examined the contestants in ama teur boxing matches, and the abnormal development of the best of them struck him. Magnificently developed as to their muscles, they were far from be ing men of normal health and strength. Beyond a certain point the muscula* training was at the expense of their vitality. It took away from the heart and lungs. There was scarcely an or gan of the system not affected and made less efficient. It seemed worth while to explore further into the cause. "In regard to the benefit to be de rived from athletics." says the doctor, "one has only to remember the physiol ogy of exorcise to become couvinced of the fact that exercise, per se, may be very beneficial. The point to bear In mind is to advise the person to stop before fatigue becomes evident. We can do this readily when the athlete Is interested in games for the mere exer cise, but such advice cannot be offered when his aim is to excel in an athletic contest. Here is where athletics do great harm, and it would be a safe rule to advise against all forms of athletics in the nature of a contest. "Athletics may be said to be bene ficial until the heart begins to be mark edly liypertrophled. This is the dan ger signal." Hypertrophied is the medical man's way of saying enlarged—that is, the walls or muscles of the heart Increase in size. Though this is the "danger signal," there is no real danger here, only a warning. The danger comes when, in consequence of additional ex ertion, the heart dilates, its Interior grows larger, displacing the delicate machinery, oausing the valves to leak. Then come "murmurs," and though a man may live for years with weakened valves he may die any day and any moment. Does physical exercise, then, build up the general health and make a better man out of a man? There seems to be a <(iiestion, with somo scientific men saying today very em phatically. "Not unless that physical exercise is very moderate indeed." Health. of the big English au thorities (Sir Michael Foster* puts it, does not e\ist. It is like happiness. Each has a : >al or limit which, while seemingly attainable, eludes perfect possession. The body consists of a number of mechanisms which have the closest and most exact relations, and as they approximate to harmony there Is health, but when disordered there la 111 health. Not necessarily does a man by phys ical training and much exercise be come a better man. nor does he even get better health. Here Is the striking evidence of It in scientific statements of the day. To obtain good health, muscle build ing Is not a necessity. One cannot Judge of a person's health by the size and hardness of the muscles. We have seen that the converse may be true. To obtain health one must not be In a perfectly trained condition ow ing to the effects of severe training on the nervous system. There is no evi dence to prove that athletics and mus cle building improve the constitution. One should always keep in mind the fact that built up or hypertrophied muscle has a tendency to degenerate. The heart, being a muscular organ, shares in this tendency. But the athlete Is a man who goes through the severest physical strain and training. If he boxes, runs, Is a gymnast, a football player, a wrestler, an expert at baseball or tennis, any sport requiring violent exercise and tha constant keeping in trim for it. all the rest of his body Is sacrificed for the overdevelopment of these special muscles, and the rest of it must some how suffer. Ail the body should develop together, as it were. Body and mind should be built up evenly. If overathletics does nothing else it produces a wearing ant' tearing nervous strain. When it comes to the actual athlete the man who specializes on some form of physical force and muscle power these conditions arc greatly aggravat ed. Severe athletic training and mus cle building, it is now an acknowledged fact of science, are at the expense of the nervous and glandular systems. "An experienced athlete," says one authority, "gave as his opinion that a inan sacrifices a certain part of his life every time he enters a contest of any i.ind. lie aso said that a man when •tit.' ns expressed by athletes, is in tin abnormally nervous condition. In oth er words, ho cau never remain at ease for a minute at a time and, like the caged lion, is forever on the move din ing his waking moments. It has been noticed by observers that athletes arc often sickly and particularly suscepti ble to constipation and appendicitis." Historic Piiamalla.

In the course of our exploration in Constantinople we visited a building I in an obscure and poor quarter of Bta.niboul inhabited solely by Moham ; nietlans. It is called the Mosque Kahrie, but it is or was a church dedicated to the Hlessed \ irgin. The beauty of the . luosque ce ling and walls not even cen turies of neglect have been able to ob ; literate. When we returned to the great < 'hureti of St. Sophia, now a mosque, ; and saw again the print of the bloody iiand of Mohammed, which is pointed out high up on the wall of that once I < 'hristian t httrch, we understand Its significance better than we had at first ' fight. Mohammed 11. after advancing his ; outposts gradually and stealthily had finally, as If in a night, crossed the Bosporus from Asia and ruised his j torts on tbe European side of the 1 stream, .lust the day before, on a ! trip up the Bosporus, we bad seen the ! ruins of those fortifications. The rulers of the city had protested in vain against this encroachment. When the Moslems finally attacked tho city tlie Christians fled in terror to St. Sophia. An ancient legend, firmly believed, promised that this sanctuary was absolutely safe. Mohammed proved the fallacy of their trust by breaking down the doors, murdering those who had sought safe !;. there, men. women aud children— s > many of them that finally, forcing his horse over the great pile of dead j bodies, away up on the side of a pillar ! he planted his bloody hand on the i clear wall in token of his victory over I the Christians. That gory hand still | overshadows the fairest portion of j southeastern Europe.—Rosary Maga zine. TASTES IN CIGARS. S'inif Men I.lke Their Tobacco Molit unil Somo Like It Dry. I The public taste for cigars varies In | different localities and countries, aud j In all tbe large factories cigars an | conditioned to suit the demands of tbe | country to which they are to be sent, in Europe, more especially In the Brit ish isles, the consumer of cigars re | quires that they should be dry—ln fact, i almoft brittle, it is a common inci i dent In that country to see n smoker i take his cigar and place It to bis ear to r,eo 1f It will give forth a crackling sound, and If it does not crackle tha cigar Is considered too moist. Plpo j smoking tobaccos, however, are re j quired very moist. In the f'uited States the proper con rtltlon for cigars and pipe smoking to baccos is just the reverse. The Ameri can smoker requires his cigars In such a condition that the wrapper, binding and filler will yield to the pressure of the fingers without cracking or break ing the wrapper, while, on the other hand, the smoking tobaccos, especially the granulated tobaccos, must be mod erately dry Various methods are employed for keeping clg ir* and tobaccos In the proper condition, hut up to the present time no method lias been devised that wi'l act automatically. B.,th manufac tured tobacco and cigars are suscepti ble ti> climatic conditions, and It re quires the constant attention of the manufacturer and dealer to regulate? the moisture in bis stock clipboard or showcase. In retail stores great trou ble Is experienced In keeping the air In the showcases In the proper condi tion, especially when these are con stantly being opened. In warm wet weather more r. olstnre is admitted than is needed, while during the cold winter months the cigars are apt to be come too dry. especially in the upper part of the showcases.—-Science. BULLIOT'S BET. A Hunker'* »«ner on St. Snllhln'l On> Kaln I.cvend, There were few frenzied financiers in England at the beginning of the eight eenth century If the banker Bulllot, of whom the following story is told, can tie taken as an example: The feast of St. Swithiu. July 15, 171:5, was a par ticularly wet and stormy day. Trusting implicitly in the old super stition, which says that if It rains on St. Swithin's day it will raiu for forty days thereafter. Hulliot opened a pool for every one who was willing to bet against him. The affair attained so much notoriety ihat the wager was re duced to writing. "If dating from St. Swithin's day," reads the memorandum, "it rains mora or little during forty days successively Bulllot will be considered to have gained, but If It cease to rain for only one day during that time Bulllot hn» lost." For two weeks it contained to show er every day. and so confident did the banker become tbnt he accepted as stakes not only money, but gold head ed canes, jewels: snuffboxes and even clothes. When his cash gave out toe offered notes and bills of exchange. Another week passed, and Bulllot't star was still in the ascendant. But when the twenty-second day sink into the west bright and cloud less the unfortunate banker was ruined What Do They Cure? The above question is often asked con cerning l)r.

ACTER THE ECCENTRICITIES OF THE ITALIAN MARQUiy DEL GRILLO. Crim Joke b> Which He Attempted to ItevoluOnulr.e the Ailminintra (ion of .>UMi« In Home—Gflvlnwr to ( ur*inr \Vhal ItcloisKed to C'aonar. The Marquis del Criilo, husband of tli'> famous actress, Adelaide Kistor!, was one of (lie best known characters of his day. Rich, bearing a title that made him one of the most conspicuous figures in Roman life, and absolutely indifferent to what others thought of him, lie indulged in ail sorts of pranks. Society called them eccentricities and pronounced him slightly unbalanced, hut in reality he was possessed of unu sually bright faculties. He had a keen sense of humor, loved excitement and was thoroughly awake to the shortcom ings of his generation. His eccentrici ties were so many object lessons, which it pleased him to administer in his own quaint way. and they seldom went wide of (he mark. Ills first attempt at a practical Joke, if such It may be termed, bade fair to revolutionize the administration of Jus tice in Rome. Punctually at Ift one bright spring morning every church bell in town be gan to ring "a morto," a long, peculiar toll used to announce a death. Pius IX. was then reigning pontiff and, bearing the general toiling, asked who the great personage was that all Ilome was mourning. None of his "suit" knew, but inquiries at St. Peter's elicit ed the fact that the Marquis del Griilo had sent the order without specifying who was dead. The pontiff was even more mystified, and when word had come from other churches to the same effect he sent for the marquis, who promptiy answered the summons. "I hear," said Pius IX. to the mar quis, that it is at your bidding that every bell in Home is tolling. Who. then, is dead'/" "Justice, your holiness," was theenlg matlc reply. "Justice?" "Yes. your holiness—justice. The goddess is no more In the pontifical states." And thereupon he related to tbe as tohislu-.l pontiff how. becoming aware of the eorrnpTion existing in Judiciary circles, be had made an experiment. Claiming th-'t the farm of a poor neigh bor of !:ib belonged to him, he brought tin? poor man to court and by liberal bribing obtained possession of the whole estate, to which he had no right whatsoever. The pope, after listening attentively, censured the marquis severely for the method used, but hl-tory tells us that the lesson bore fruit and that many changes took place In important civlo positions. At another time the marquis, who al ways dressed \ e.y modestly, made his way on foot t > the palace of Prince Massimo, where a big reception was being held. .\ - he approached the en trance a pompous lackey looked him over from head to foot and then barred the way. "No admittance tonight," he said ln colently. "A reception Is going on." The noMeinan stood amazed, for even over prince 1 o often took precedence, but then lie -aw the humor ol' the situa tion and. -tailing to himself, walked away. Half an hour later a magnificent coach drew up before the palace, and out stepped t! e marquis, resplendent In a gorgeous court uniform and scintillat ing with decorations. In a minute the whole house wax astir, and the hostess herself met him and led him in. The night was warm, and soon she invited him to have an Ice. an offer which he promptly accepted. Imagine her feel ings when, instead of eating It, hw coolly and deliberately proceeded to spread spoonful after spoonful over the front of li!s uniform and on his nu merous decor: ti^n-^. "Why, marquis." -die exclaimed In alarm, "what are joti doing?" "Giving Caesar what belongs to Cae sar," was the quiet reply. "Your serv ants refused to let me in In the garb of a plain gentleman, but promptly ad mitted my costuuic and decorations when 1 carried theui In. Is It not they that should be rewarded?" A peculiarity of the marquis was his refusing to havens personal valets any but the most quick witted of young fellows, who could help him in his lit tle "scapades without having to be coached too much. Many amusing tales are told of bis experiences In en gaging them. In one instance he was Bitting at the piano trying some church music when a new applicant was ush ered In. He didn't stop playing or even glance around, but began to ask ques tions. the answers to which evidently did not appeal to him, for he suddenly struck a loud chord and, following the tune of the music, chanted in a loud voice, "You will never do for me." Then he rose and without a look at the man started to walk out of the room. Quick ns a Hash the applicant stepped to the piano and. striking the keys with both lists, chanted back solemnly on the same air. "I'm very glad of it, be cause I don't like you a bit." Any one els ■ would have had the man thrown out 112 >r hi- impudence, but the marquis |. •u- ■ ! at the door and smiled with appreciation.

Harvell lay in the bottom of his ca noe. The canoe was tied a few feet out from the shore, and the river, deep, powerful and mysterious, tugged at the frail little craft. But Harvell did not heed tlie call. The darkness was deep, yet luminous, with the promise of an early moon, and the night wind that swept from shoreward was sweet and heavy with the fragrance of blooming rushes. Harvell stared upward to the stars, every sense as keenly alive to the beauty of the scene as if mind and heart had not been given over for days to the problem which be had thrown himself into the canoe to solve. Final ly he stirred restlessly and said half aloud: "No. It's no use. I can't do It. She Is too fine and thoroughbred for a great, common born chap like me to marry. "MABUAKET!" HE CKIED. And—no, even if she should be will ing, wbich is an insane thought on my part. I've no right to let her sacrifice herself. I'll stay until tomorrow and then plead business and disappear." There was a little stir near the pier, as of the underbrush, then a woman's voice, wonderfully clear and sweet: "Let's sit here and wait for tbe moon to rise. The bungalow Is so close and hot tonight." Harvell caught his breath. It was she. The voice that replied he recog nized as that of his married sister, who was chaperoning the bungalow party. "You haven't been yourself at all, Mar garet, during the entire week." "I know it, Agnes." The voice, with its tired note, was very touching, and Harvell stirred restlessly •I'm use less to myself and every one else — every one else.' - she repeated, : s if to herself. "Oh. nonsense! Peggy, you :.re too tine and wholesome to talk so. I wish"— Agnes stopped as if not daring togo 011. Margaret's voice continued: 'I want you to help me to steal o:T tonight, Agnes.

His canoe was fl >at Ing rapidly down stream, while his paddle was safely locked in the boat house. "I must be almost on the rapids," he thought With the thought the br>nt turned the bend that had shut oIT the sound of the falls and the canoe was in the whirlpool.

Blinded by sprays, the planks half turning so that he could only pause, struggling with rigid mus eles for balance, Ilarvell crawled along the foot wide planks. And with each pause came new discouragement. Mar garet would surely he gone. In a panic of haste he slipped and fought his way, now half in the boiling water half on the slimy rocks, now again on (he plankway, gaining toward his goal foot by foot. At last one final spring, and he f<-lt again the solid earth be neath him. Without thought of hi 9 dripping clothing he started on his half mile run through the woods to the bungalow. "If the moon would only come up!" he thought as he tore his way through the heavy underbrush. "If—if only I am not too late! I am going to tell her anyhow, just to prove to her that 1 am a fool. I suppose— Oh, here Is the stage road!" On tip the sandy road, his clothes half dry with his rapid pace, then with the great edge of the summer moon peering over the top of the pines, be perceived a dim figure standing by the roadside. The figure shrank back a lit tle at the sight of the man storming up the ro"d. Ilarvell passed. "Margaret"' he cried. "Yes," answered quietly the sweet, clear voice that never failed to thrill him. "Margaret, why do you go?" Margaret, too surprised by his sudden appearance to be startled by his knowl edge of her movements, made no reply. "Because," Ilarvell plunged on."1 annoy you with attention, because 1 hang on your every word and glance, because I am an ordinary chap with no ancestors, and you are the personifica tion of culture and delicacy- is that it, Margaret?" "You have no right to speak that way, Paul," said Margaret, in her quiet voice. "No, but isn't that true?" persisted Ilarvell. The moon was well above the treetops now. By its light he could see the look of pride with which Mar garet drew herself up. "So you think me a snob? You know me well indeed!" "Know you," rep'.ici Ilarvell miser-- ably—"no, I know nothing, except that I love you and that I can never hope to marry you." There was a long pause. The sum mer night was very fair around them. The girl before him '■:•< '<ied to Ilarvell a part of the wonder >i' the night. "You think, then." said Margaret, "that I am too brainless to admire your flue mind, your splendid physique? Being, you soy, well born. I must be a Rnob." Harvell drew a long breath. ".Mar garet," he said, "will y >u marry me? Will you say yes, MarguvtV" "Not until I have told you," answer* 1 the low voice, "that T v,.i bora aud bred in poverty in the mountains of Tennessee, that 1 am finely born only as every American is finely born, and I am proud" of it." The sound of stagecoach wheels came up the road, but already the two figures were far up the path that led to the bungalow. Men Are Ri«KPr Sow.
