Should Purify the Milk.
The Federal Department of Agricul
ture has made a report on the milk
supply of Washington that should be
of interest to'every city. The report
tells how the danger of dissemination
of disease through the consumption of
impure milk can be minimized or en
tirely removed. The committee that
made the report was composed of
scientists, physicians, veterinarians,
milk producers and dealers, attorneys
and business men of the oity of Wash
ington, who were appointed by the
Board of Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia to advise what steps
should be taken to improve the milk
supply of the District.
After examining exhaustively the
milk supply of Washington the com
mittee says that while it compares
favorably with that of any other city,
there is evidence to indicate that stale
and infected milk is everywhere re
sponsible for disease and death, and
that legislation should be enacted to
prevent the needless sacrifice of life.
That applies to every community in the
land —and to Danville as well as to
any other city. The committee went
farther, however, and suggested pre
cautions to be taken in the household.
They are so good, and so simple, that
they are here reprinted for the benefit
of all readers :
"First,do not patronize a milk deal
er at any price whose milk,after staud
ing for over two hours, reveals a visi
ble sediment at the bottom of the bot
tle. It is evidence of dirty habits,ex
tremely suggestive of danger, and en
tirely preventable by clean, decent
methods without greatly increasing
the cost.
"Second, subject all your milk to
home pasteurization by simply bring
ing it to the boiling point, and after
cooling keep the milk on ice. This
will destroy germ life and reduce the
chances of milk borne diseases to a
minimum ; and if we can reduce our
typhoid fever rate even 10 per cent,
only by this simple method, not to
mention infantile diarrhoeas [and oth
er infectious diseases, it is clearly our
duty to do so."
These simple precautions should
not be neglected by any family that
would preserve the health and life of
very one of its members, from the
youngest to the oldest.
Immigration Not Checked.
The new immigration laws, with
numerous restrictions upon the recep
tion of undesirable foreigners, which
went into effect the first of the month,
have had no appreciable effect upon
the stream of immigrants passing
through Ellis island into the country,
immigration uuicers generally saia
that they believed no great reduction
in the number of migrating Europ
eans will follow the new rules. These
acts, which congress passed last Feb
ruary, were designed chiefly to pre
vent the embarkation of undesirable
foreigners and so save them the ex
pense of the voyage to America. It
was not so much the intention to cut
down immigration as to regulate it.
The new law requires the steamship
companies tc examine the immigrant
before accepting him for passage, aud
makes the companies subject to a fine
of .SIOO for transporting any physically
or mentally defective person or any
afflicted with a loathsome or contag
ious disease. The government physi
cians put the newcomers through just
as rigid an inspection as ever, but
through the workings of the new law
* far smaller percentage was obtained
as likely to be deported. Immigra
tion Commissioner Watchorn believes
the number of persons sent back to
Europe will be nearly cut in half.
The new law increases the head tax
from $2 to? 4 for each person.
Professional Film Crook
The Jersey Shore Chief of Police
sends out warning against one Bob
Merrill, who claims to be a moving
picture operator, and will accept such
a position at any price in order to
steal the films. He is a professional
film crook and should be guarded by
all Nickleodians and Moving Picture
Shows. He is about 25 years of age ; 5
feet 9 inches tall; slender built; lean,
smooth face, weight about 135 lbs;
talks in undertone voice; dark brown
eyes; was wearing rather dark suit
*od brown soft hat,
Early Closing
As a general thing the stores this
week are closing at 6 p. m., which
adds two or three hours daily to the
leisure of employers and clerks. The
early closing is in line with custom iu
this city, the stores for several years
past having closed at 6 p. m. between
the Fourth of July and September.
New Express Trains.
Two new solid express trains have
been placed on the Pennsylvania rail
road between Williamsport and Har
risburg. Botli trains arrive in Sun
bury from opposite directions at 3:40
o'clock in the morning and that place
is their passing point. They will carry
express only and their purpose is to
relieve the Buffalo Flyers.
A few days ago a mare valued at
1200, owned by William Eoeckel, of
York, tramped on a cat,which bit the
mare in the foreleg. The wound would
not iieal and blood poisoning set in. A
highly prized mastiti licked the sore
and also got blood poisoning and mare
and dog are now both dead.
REV. J. I. STECK
DIES SUDDENLY
Rev. J. M. Steck, a member of the
Lutheran synod for over half a cen
tury. died at his home in Pottsgrove,
| yesterday morning of heart disease,
jHe had been in ill health lately but
1 his condition was not considered ser
ious and his death came as a great
: shock to his family and friends. He
was aged seventy-four years and is
survived by the following children:
Rev. William Steck, of Muncy; Mrs.
Gilbert,wife of Rev. Gilbert.of Pitts
burg : Mrs. Newton Achenbach, of
South Williamsport, and Mrs. John
McMahan. The latter is a bride of but
three weeks and was expected home
yesterday from her wedding trip.
Three sisters survive.
Tlie deceased was well known in
this section. He was pastor of Mes
siah's Lutheran church, Williamsport,
when that edifice was built and also
pastor of the Church of the Redeemer
in the east end of the city. He conies
from a fauiilv of ministers, among
which were his fattier, grandfather,
several brothers and several uncles.
He was bom at Hughesville, and in
terment will be made at that place.
Relating to Coal Supply.
The insistence of Eastern cities that
manufacturers and others shall con
tinue the use of anthracite coal in
stead of bituminous, in order to lessen
the smoke nuisance, is a losing game
according to government experts.
In spite of themselves, the large
municipalities that have heretofore
enjoyed the benefits derived from an
thracite coal will soon have to come to
the almost universal use of bitumin
ous, for the United States has already
readied the maximum of its yearly
hard coal output and from this time
on the amount of anthracite mined
will decrease from year to year and
the price naturally will soar until this
fuel becomes an absolute luxury
j "At our present rate of consumption
there will be no anthracite coal left in
seventy-five years," says Edward W.
Parker, the coal expert of tlie United
States Geological Survey. "Hard coal
1 will never be cheaper to consumers
than it is now. The production of an
thracite in 190G was 63,*>45,010 tons.
According to one coal expert, the au
: thracite available for mining in 1901
i was 4,7fi5.216,750."
! "From the above figures, evidently
there is not enough anthracite coal in
the country for power purposes in the
large cities of the East," said Dwight
T. Randall, engineer in charge' of
| smoke abatement, United States Geo
logical Snrvey.
"In the year 1305, New York City
burned nine million tons of anthracite
coal anil three and a half million tons
; - = ui, •«!.;.
J changed and will continue until bit
uminous coal is in the ascendency.
"It is estimated that New York and
Philadelphia are now using one-fifth
of the total yearly production of an
thracite. Thus it is seen that wa must
! conserve the hard coal, if we wisli it
to last any length of time.
"We have found it entirely feasible
i to abate smoke in power plants, great
I and small, but it is next to impossible
ito prevent smoke issuing from the
: chimneys of residences burning soft
| coal. Therefore, it would seem that
! the logical thins to do would be to
i utilize the rapidly waning supply of
hard coal for the homes and use the
j soft, coal in the factories aud power
| plants.
j "The real problem before the Ea>t
! is the abatement cf smoke from soft
coal. New York is now showing that
; this can be done in the experiments
that are being conducted by the New
; York Edison Company.
| "There are a number of ways to
j solve the smoke evil. The burning ot
i soft coal by improved methods in
j large,central heating stations iu place
of many small,poorly conducted plants
is one of the promised solutions of the
problem. In a number of cities these
| mammoth plants have been installed
i and are doing good work.
"Another method is to convert the
fuel into gas anil coke, at a big plant,
selling the gas aud coke both of which
are smokeless to the consumers.
"Still another method is the establ
ishment of great gas producers, gas
engines and electric generators at the
coal mines, the gas producers operat
ing the engines and the latter in turn
j the generation,sending the electricity
i into the cities for power, light and
heating purposes. Electricity can be
sent in this manuer, 250 miles. It is
also hoped that in the near future,the
railroads will use such power in oper
ating their trains. This would do
! away with a big part of the smoke
i nuisance'"
Birthday Party.
Mrs. L. G. Delsite of Valley town

JUMBO ILL BE
SHIPPED TOM
Jumbo, the big elk, Swill leave the
game preserve at Billmeyer's farm at
4 o'clock this afternoon for Philadel
phia, where he will be a center of at
traction during the Elks' reunion next
week. He will be shipped to Watson
town via the S. B. B. railroad, com
pleting his journey beyond that point
ou the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Work on the cage or crate in which
the big animal is to make his journey
was begun yesterday morning and will
be completed early today. It is a mas
sive affair—ten feet long.ten feet high
and six feet wide. It is made of heavy
timber securely fastened together with
iron rods and bolts procured at the
Structural Tubing Works, this city.
Whether it will be au easy matter
or not to get Jumbo into the cage is
not clear; but Mr. Billnieyor. who un
derstands the ways of elks, is of the
opinion that it can be accomplished.
Jumbo will be driven into his pen,
which will open into the cage. The
cage will be so arranged as to beguile
the animal into the beilef that it af
fords a way to liberty. The elk will
attempt to pass through it but at the
proper moment it will be dexterously
closed at each end and .Tumbo will be
a prisoner.

PHLIA DELPHI A, July 12.
Leigh Mitchell Hodges, special
writer for The North American, has
just returned from Concord, N 11..
aud has brought with liini an author
ized interview with Mrs Mary Baker
G. Eddy, head of the Christian
Science Church.
In view of the legal proceedings re
cently brought by Mrs. Eddy's family
to have her affairs administered by
trustees, and the more recent appoint

into her mental condition, the inter
view, obtained at first hand, will be
very interesting reading.

Ed Sainsbury Lucky Bidder.
At a regular meeting of the county
commissioners held on Saturday the
contract for painting the courthouse
roof, the railing on the river bridge
and the fence around the yard at the
jail was awarded to Edward Sains
bury as the lowest bidder.
Three bids were received as follows:
Benjamin Cook.painting court honse
roof and the railing on the bridge,
190.85.
I'.merson Uosh and R:i!p!i Uaskins,
painting courthouse roof, bridge
railing and fence at the jail, |IOO.
Edwaril Sainsbury, painting roof,
railing and fence as called for in ad
vertisement for bids, S9O.
The contract was awarded to Mr.
Sainsbury as the lowest bidder, who
will enter upon the work in a short
time.
The present roof on the courthouse
has done service ever since the build
ing was erected in lSt'S It leaks at
a few places, indicating t .ia' it, needs
other repairs as well as painting,
which will be made between the pres
ent and the time the painters get to
work. So far as any of the court
house officials could recall yesterday
the roof hn« not been painted in many
years. i;i :»ll probability not since the
building was erected , ue.nrh forty
years ago.
The heaviest part of ti,r contract
consists of p outing the ruling of the
river bridge, which is very tedious
aud troublesome work to say nothing
of the enormous stretch embraced by
botli sidewalks of the bridge.

The commencment exercises of the
training school for attendants at the
hospital for the insane will take place
tonight. The exercises will be held
in amusement hall at the institution,
beginning at 8 o'clock.
The class this year consists of eleven
members. The names along with the
program was jirinted in a recent issue.
Rev. Robert Bonner Jack, of Hazle
ton, will deliver the address to the
class. Dr. Reid jNebinger of the hos
pital staff will award the prizes. Fol
lowing the exorcises a reception will
be tendered the class and graduates.
The class which graduated last year
was composed of twelve members.
The class of lUOS, however, numbered
onlv six, which reveals that the class
of the present year is not below tlio
average. A feature of the exercises
tonight will be the awarding of the
prizes. These are medals for scholar
ship and naturally prove a great in
centive to diligent and painstaking
study during the year.
The hospital for the insane at Dan
ville has the honor of Weing the first
to establish a training school for at
tendants, just as it was the first to
establish a nurses' home. One by one
the other institutions fell in with the
idea, adopting a conrse of study for
attendants, until at present there is
not a hospital for the insane in the
State but has a training school similar
to the one at Danville. Including the
present year fifteen classes have been
graduated at the local hospital.
That those who have the benefit of
the practical course of study are bet
ter equipped for caring for the insane
goes without saying. To all attend
ants holding diplomas an additional
salary of three dollars per month is
given and other things being equal
positions of greatest trust and respon
sibility are assigned them.
No War Sentiment.
Yoshitsuga Hashimoto. Japanese
commercial commissioner to the Jam
estown exposition, who has arrived in
this country from Tokio, recently
stated in an interview that there did
not exist ill Japan any war sentiment.
A sure indication that no war was ex
pected or wanted, Mr. Hashimoto
| said, was the steadily increasing com
merce between the United States and
Japan and the desire of his country
men that it should continue to grow.
"The business relations between the
United States and Japan are satisfac
tory," he said. "This country is a
large purchaser of our silk, and we
use much American cotton and flour.
Japan desires to buy as much as pos
sible in this country and to improve
, H><> fominercial relations Japan ««>
manufacturers have sent an extensive
exhibition to the Jamestown exposi
tion. Nobody in Japan, either of the
higher classes or the lower, has a sin
gle thought of war with the United
States. This San Francisco school
■ luestion and that of the wrecked Jap
anese restaurants are regarded as loc
al questions which will be satisfact
orily settled by the proper representa
| tives of the two cations."
Vacation at Home.
Citizens of Danville have of late
years become more reconciled to re
maining at home to spend the hot
months of summer, because they have
discovered that they can have as much
fun, receive as much benefit and gath
or as large a stock of freckles and sun
burn right .it home as they could find
elsewhere. In fact, Danville is as fine
a summ'T resort as is to bo found in
this country, and only those who are
looking for excitement go away from
home in the summer.
Aside from the fact that our city is
a desirable and beautiful summer ro
sort town there are so many places in
the immediate vicinity in which the
seeker after recreation may encamp
with the assurance that he will have
an enjoyable time that it seems the
i height of folly for any one togo else
where for an outing. Camping parties
of citizens who revel in the beauties
of nature along the river below town,
1 the creeks and on the mountains are
numerous, and all of those who par
j ticipate in these camping vacations
! are greatly benefitted.
Why go away from home to find
the health which is lying around
home waiting to be armroDriated ?

Associate Judge Frank G. Blee,,
whose farm is located in the most fer-
of Montour county, was »n
this city on business yesterday. Mr.
Blee stated that the wheat is ripening
very slowly and lie feels confident
that no grain will be harvested until
some time next Week, probably not
until the latter part. Many of the
fields have taken on a rich golden hue, I
but upon close examination it is J
found that the stalks are still very :
green and heavy.
Wheat will be a good crop, but it I
must be given an opportunity to ripen
Just in proportion as it was delayed |
by the unseasonable weather of May j
and early June it will be late in ma- ■
turing this year.
Wherever a vantage point is gained
in driving over the country and the
eye takes in a wide scope of landscape
the wheat fields, nearly ripe for the
reaper, impart a wonderful charm.
Over the wide panorama, side by side
with fields of grass, oats.&c., at near
ly regular intervals the fields of wav- -
ing grain appear, the mellow tints of
gold harmonizing pleasantly with the
general hues of green that clothe the
fields and the mountain sides.
Our readers will be glad to learn
that notwithstanding the unfavorable
reports earlier in the season, the hay
croji will bo a fair ouo. Judge Blee
yesterday stated that where the grass
was not crowded out by plantains and
other weeds, which sprang up as a re
sult of the peculiar weathei condi
tions iu May, the yield will be un
usually heavy this season. Where
haymaking is in progress the crop is
found to be at least an average one.
With every day the grass takes on a
ranker growth and those fields reserv
td for haymaking after harvest will
no doubt yield enormously.
Will Invite Bids In Ten Days.
Although the delay has been greater
than anticipated things are gradually
assuming shape for beginning work
on the new buildings at the hospital
for the iusane. The plans are pract
ically all completed and on Friday
they will ;be submitted to Governor
Stuart.
The building committee of the hoard
of trustees, Hon. I?. S. Ammerman,
attorney for the board, and Dr. H. B.
Meredith, superint#nding physician of
the hospital,appeared before the hoard
of public charities at Philadelphia on
Friday. Arrangements were made for
presenting the plaus and specifications
to Governor Stuart, who according to
the terms of the bill appropriating the
?:389,000 will have to approve of both
before the money will become avail
able. The plans will be submitted to
the governor on Friday. That he will
approve of the plaus and specifications
iu the premises admits of no doubt.
A sub-committee of the board of pub
lic ciiarities will visit the hospital for
the insane here in a few days for the
purpose of general approval.
Within a week or ten days every
thing will be iu readiness for inviting
bids. A period of thirty days will in
tervene during which the advertise
ments aie running, but in a very short
time afterwards the actual work of
; building should be iu progress

OLD DAYS Oil
BJHBI
The following article from the pen
of John R. Pott relu'ing to old days
on the Catawissa railroad appeared in
the Williainsport Sun of recent issue. ,
Its pleasant allusion- to Danville will
be appreciated by our readers.
"November 1, 18*2, was a sorry day
for the "boys" on the old Catawissa
railroad. It was at that time taken
over by the "Dutch". From the early
sixties np to that time the Catawissa
"boys" had been a little family by
themselves, each helping one another
—engineers, conductors, firemen,
brakemen, shopmen, agents, operators
and trainmen. Superintendent George
Webb and Assistant Superintendent
J. W. Mussina and J. W. Alder, were
the idols of all, and nothing was too
hard to be done when needed. George
H. Prescott, master mechanic ; Andy
Prescott. assistant; S. V. Pierce and
W. H. Halo were roadmasters.
# * # # # * *
"The operators were W. Ed Eeles,
Edward F. Hunt, Tom Graham, "Bil
ly" Thompson, (now at Ninth and
Green, I believe); Emma Wilson. The
agents and operators were J. I. Paint
er (J. I. 6) at Muucy; Jake Starr, at
Watsontown ; Lyman Wilson, at Mil
ton ; Charley Forrester, at Danville,
(now traveling in Europe) ; H. P.
Chamberlain, at Rupert; J. B. Yet
ter, at Catawissa; Dan Teter. at Mc-
Auley, succeeded by Johnnie Pott,
who afterward succeeded Wash Brown
at Quakake Junction: Peter Baldy, at
Ringtown, succeeded by George C.
Coughlin, (now at Philadelphia with
Philadelphia and Reading and C &
I. as sales agent); W. E. Mohr, at
Brandouville, then Mahanoy Station,
! (now cashier National bank at Mon
ey) ; Davis Runyon at Beaver, now
retired; John P. Lance, at Summit,
now Lof»y; Lance, I Jbelieve is at
Reading in the lumber business; Pet
ler Small, at Quakake; then Peter
Baldv, then Wash Brown, then John
nie Pott, now at Pittsburg, with the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul;
Frank Carpenter at East Mahanoy
! Junction, now at Bloouisburg with
Philadelphia and Reading.
"The train runners were L. O.
Wit man, Aaron Stadler and J. B.
Yetter —that is they were assistants
to J. W. Mussina, assistant superin
tendent, who had charge of trains.
"J. W. M." resigned about 1870. He
was succeeded by .1. W, Alder as as
sistant superintendent and L. O. Wit
man had charge of train dispatching.
"The freight conductors were Mose
S. Bond (now the Chulasky truckman I
John M. Decker, Dave Hollingshead,
Phil Miller, William (Bill) Bevger,
George Barclay, Andy Irwin, John
Wheatly, Arthur Rarder, Billy Hald
ernian, now an engineer on Philadel
phia and Reading; John Reiclieldefer,
now on Philadelphia and Reading
between Tamaqua and Newberry."
Mr. Potts describes several amusing
characters employed on the Catawissa
railroad, the most of .whom were Penn
sylvania dutchmen. Among these Pet
er Rishel, who came to the road from
Lehigh county in 1864:
"He was put to braking on a pass
enger train. It is said that on com
ing into Milton one day he called out
"Danville, Danville,"closed the door;
then realizing the error he immed
iately reopened it and said: "Hellno,
Million, Mildon!"
"Louis Hilger was shop foreman at
Milton—"Dutch Louie," lie was call
ed. He had many funny ways. Once
he and the "old man" (Mr. Webb)
had some differences by wire in refer
