Montour American. FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Nov. 21, IW7. From the President. President Roosevelt's letter explain ing why the inscription "In God We Trust" is cot borne on the gold piece now being ooiued leave little to be said in favor ot Clio custom which has prevailed hitherto.Naturally when the innovation first came to public notice there were those who saw in it a sign ificant departure from established us age. Some, it appears, feared that the change implied a deliberate purpose to read the Supremo Power out of all consideration in connection with ev eryday business These are they who would disregard tiie president's gener al character as a Christian believer and iguore the record of his life as churchman and communicant,and, be cause of one act the meaning of which they did not understand, would sus pect him of impiety or worse. It is with some pains and with great oaro, therefore, that the president has gone into the subject. He makes it plain that the familiar words are to be omitted —unless restored by act of congress—for the expross purpose of averting their flippant and improper use in the mouths and the writings of men. Of the dignity and legitimate function of the inscriptions in connec tion with certain phases of govern ment he has a full appreciation. Thus he would have the motto on national monuments, court houses, legislative halls and at the naval and military academies, in all places where its use would inspire a proper conception of its meaning, rather than on coins, currency or stamps, where too often its presence is recognized in a spirit of levity. instances of this are com mon, and they are not confined merely to campaigns in which the money quest ion is an issue, but may be noted in greater or less degree at almost any time. The president has acted solely to remove the excuse for this levity touching what was originally intend ed to exalt God and install reverence, and the occasion has enabled him to preach a sensible and well-considered sermon on the subject—one that will appeal forcibly to the thoughtful and sensible among his fellow country men. New State Admitted. On Saturday the historic Indian ter ritory ceased to exist. It became a pait of the new Stato of Oklahoma, which enters the union, thus adding the forty-sixth star to the constella tion on the American flag. The new star will not become a part of the flag, officially, however, until the Fourth of .Lily. But as the people will begin to enjoy the privileges of statehood at onca they will not mind waiting for representation on the flag. Oklahoma is the most prosperous territory ever admitted to the union. -Sim comes in with a population en titling her to five members of con gress and with every evidence that she is destined to continued and increas ing prosperity. Her soil is rich nud very productive, her natural resources are varied and of inestimable value, her people wideawake and progres sive, her institutions modeled upon the most progressive ideas of these very modern times. Her constitution is the most remarkable document of that sott on earth. Politically the new State is Demo cratic. T1I q constitutional convention contained but a handful of Republi cans. The election of State officers resulted in a Democratic triumph. The new legislature is largely Democratic and it follows that both United States senators will be Democrats.They have already been chosen by popular vote, but the legislature will have to ratify the popular verdict by a formal elec tion. Fonr out of the five representa tives are Democrats. The whole country extends a gener ous and cordial weclome to the new and well born State of Oklahoma. There is every reason to believe that it is a typical American Commonwealth aud that it will add honor and renown to this splendid union of imperial States. Housecleanitig Season Here. Housecleaning time is here. The housewife goes about the domicile seeking germs to destroy aud making war on the demon dirt. The man of the house -.vends his weary way home ward with the certainty of being greeted with a cold dinner and the ap pearance of a female figure which wields a broom in one hand and adust pau in the other. The children are relegated to the garret, where they find plenty of mischief to do. The dove of peace takes its flight to the cellar, where it sits with drooping wing aud ruminates on the peculiar ways of the average housewife. The housecleaning season is a sea % son full of woe aud dust. Things in the house are turned topsy-turvy and the swish-swash of water resounds in every room. Disorder regins in the attempt to restore the semblance of order. The grim smile of determina tion on the face of the housewife is not reflected on the visage of the head of the house,v ho sneaks from room to room in a vain effort to find comfort. All is chaos, and nobody is happy,but the woman who chooses the coldest, dreariest days of the year in which to make her onslaught 011 imaginary dirt And yet no legislature is brave enough to pass a lavt making fall houseoleaning a penitentiary offense. Eloquence gains force in proportion to its sincerity. SUSPENSION HITS jOOTH SIDE Pursuant to its policy of general re trenchment the Pennsylvania railroad company has taken otf not only the work train, but also the "floating crew" from South Danville, throwing out of employment some forty men. T he work train, which employs some twenty men,has always been regarded as belonging to South Danville, al though it is apt to be employed at al most any point ou the division. It is ill charge of W. J. Nuss of South Dan ville and ttie men are all residents of the south side or of this city. There seems to be no probability that the train will be put on again this win ter. The removal of the work train would not have excited the least comment if it had not been for the order that ac companied it to the effect that the "floating gang" employing also some twenty men had been discharged. The floating gang, in charge of C. F. Hummer aud made up of South Bide residents, is an extra repair gang, which during the past season has worked mostly at Wolverton aud Klingesgrove. The laying off of this force would indioate that the Penusy has decided to suspend practioally all work on track improvement, doing only what is absolutely necessary to keep trains running. Five section hands have been laid off on the regular gang in charge of David Nuss. In all it is estimated that about forty men have been dropped from the Pennsy's pay roll at South Danville, whose chances are by no means good of being reinstated this winter. Are Americans Extravagant? An exchange points out that a con tributory element which has produc ed distress aud poverty in this conn try is the extravagance of the people. That newspaper says the people have been living high, aud as a consequ ence they have been spending mouey which they ought to have saved for a rainy day. This may be true in some respects, but as a rule the people have not been buying luxuries such as theater tickets, railroad tickets, pict ures. books and magazines. Most of us have been staying at home in sum mer. reading in the newspapers of the tiavels of the rich and attending cheap shows only. A great many Americans want the best that is to be had. They want as many luxuries as they are able or think they are able to pay for. If we were all to indulge in cheese paring what would become of the manufact urers of goods of all kinds? The de mand tor goods would decrease to such an extent that many mills and factories would be forced into bank ruptcy and the prosperity of the coun try would be a thing of the past. It is all well enough to tell the people to be thrifty, but what would become of the country if everybody were to store his money in a stocking? Money was made to spend, and the poor have as much right to enjoy themselves as the rich. Parents' Responsibility. The remarks of Judge Hart, of Ly coming county, in placing several lads who had transgressed the law in the custody of tlieii parents, with the ad monition to watch over their conduct or he would send the boys to the house of refuge,should open the eyes of these and other parents to their responsibil ities There are many parents in this city who have been allowing their young children to do as they please, and the result is that these children have become habitual street walkers aud corner loafers. The parent who does not care wheth er or not his sons and daughters shall be sent to the house of refnge will not make an effort to control his children but will allow them to be upon the street at all hours of the night, as sociating with older boys aud girls who are always ready to eugage in vicious practices. The demand for a curfew law was the result of the neg lect of parents to watch over the con duct of their children, and if some of the boys and girls shall be sent to the house of refuge their parents can blame themselves for their children's downfall. Home discipline is much to be pre ferred to imprisonment in the train ing of children. MISS CELIA LEWIS BECOMES A BRIDE Miss Oelia A. Lewis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William R. Lewis, of Mahoning township, and Mr. Arthur Swank, of Little Roaring Creek, were united in the holy bonds of wedlock on Tuesday evening, November 19th, at 7 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents. The ceremony was performed by Rev. L. Dow Ott. Mrs. Gustave Leh mann attended the bride aud Mr. Leh mann acted as best man. The bride was dressed iu blue aud carried a bou quet of chrysauthemums Mrs. Leli mann was aIBO dressed in blue and carried a bouquet of chrysanthemums. After the weddiug a fine supper was served. The bride was a recipient of a numb<#of beautiful and useful gifts. Those from out of town wero Mrs. Fritz Purpur, of Boyd's Station, Mrs. Kennedy, Mr. aud Mrs. Joseph Par ton aud two children, Paul and Emma, of Little Roaring Creek. Those from town were Mr. and Mrs. George Swank, Mr. aud Mrs. John Warner, Miss Camp, Miss Laura Gethlng, Mr. Jones, Albert and Horace Swank, Mr. and Mrs. William R. Lewis, Frank and Harold Lewis. FRANKLIN BOYER IS NO MORE Franklin Boyer,the well-known coal dealer,departed this life at 7 :45 o'clock Monday morning after a long and painful illness. The cause of death was Bright's dis ease complicated with heart trouble. The deceased had been in poor health for nearly two years. For a month prior to death he was very ill,his con dition during the last two weeks be ing such as to preclude all possibility of recovery. Mr. Boyer was one of onr best known citizens. He was born in Sny der county, but spent over fifty years of his life in Danville. For at. least twenty-five years he was engaged in the coal bnsiness. He was a consistent member of the Trinity Lutheran church. He was a good citizen and a conscientious business man He was a man of courteous manners and of gen erous and obliging disposition. The deceased was aged 75 years, 11 months, and 13 days. Ho was a wid ower, his wife preceding him to the grave about six years ago. He is sur vived by four sons, Jacob H., George H., Frank J., aud William R. aud one daughter, Miss Alice, of Harris burg; also two brothers, Reuben Boy er of Danville; S. H. Boyer,of Selius grove aud one sister, Mrs. Kate Rowe, of Salem, Snyder county. Mental Diseases Increase. It is agreed upon all bauds that while modern medical science has suc ceeded in arresting the progress of such diseases as small-pox and other contagious aud epidemic disorders, aud while it has arrived at a perfect knowledge of the way to successfully antagonize typhoid fever, there is a steady increase in diseases of the nerves. While a portion of the appar ent heavy increase in the number of insane persons in the country is un doubtedly due to the greater accuracy of modern returns, it is still true that the nnmerous annual additions to those who have lost their mental grip be comes disheartening and alarming. . It is held by some authorities that much of the nervous trouble from which the country Is now suffering is the legitimate result of overwork. It is said that the American business man, up early aud to bed late, sleep ing but little,his sleep invaded by the spectres of business cares, concentrat ing I is energies upon plans aud poli cies, rnauy of which are destined to crumble' into dust and ashes, imposes too great a strain upon his mental powers. The result is sometimes sud den aud permanent in sanity; some times nervous prostration which leaves its victim a physical aud mental wreck ; sometimes ■ a sudden stroke which is followed by a living death. The Nows believes there is nincli dinger in too arduous labor at one's business, if that labor bo accompanied by keen mental appreh eusion aud distress over tlwnumerous possibilities of failure which beset the pathway of the business adventur er. We have all known of instances in which men of perfectly correct habits, as the world understands cor rect habits have suddenly gone wrong. Presently friends discover that the wits of tile shrewd business man have gone wool gathering. It becomes neces sary to interfere to protect hi 111 against the result of schemes concocted by his wild and disordered imagination. It is a sad and a melancholy end. Nevertheless, it is the belief of the News that hard work, carried 011 un der proper sanitary conditions and amid congenial surroundings,does not ordinarily kill. It is our belief that the man who likes his work and who makes a speciality of regular habits may work hard for many hours a day without suffering any particular dis advantage. The mind is a peculiar instrument. It becomes brighter aud more efficient by use. Legitimate em ployment only sharpens it. Most of those who go down prematurely in the race of life are [the victims of their habits, not of their work. Some men never think of retiring at a reason able hour after a day's work. They subject their'unfortunate stomach to such unwise treatment that in the end the stomach persuades the brain togo on a sympathy strike. Not the hard work which needs to be done, but the unnecessary dissipation with which too many busiuess and professional men wind up their day shortens life or destroys mental power before the ime. This is a truth the wise young man will do well to write own in his note book. PNEUMONIA RESULTS IN DEATH Mrs. Margaret A. Curtis, until re cently of Trenton,N. J., departed this life at 1:30 o'clock yesterday morning at the home of her son-in-law L. A. Greenleaf.No. 217 West Market street.

DEDICATION OF CHAPEL The presbytery of Northumberland, ; has for several years been conducting j in West Berwick a very successful mission for the Italians. A lot was purchased and the house on it was 1 fitted up for chapel purposes, but so rapidly did the work advance under the able aud alert pastor, Rav. Joseph Anastasi, that the accommodations , were soon found to be entirely in | adequate. The presbytery then authorized the committee to build a suitable chapel. This has been done during the last summer,aud on last Sabbath the build ing was formally dedicated, with marked enthusiasm on the part of the Italians themselves. There were about two hundred present. Meetings were also planned for certain evenings of this week. On Monday eveu'ug a pop ular meeting was held at which the committee of presbytery consisting of Rev. Jas. W. Gillaud, D. D., chair man; Rev. E. A. Loux and Rev. W. T. L. Kieffer. D. D., was expected to ; be present, hut the chairman was pre vented by illness in his family. Ad dresses were made by the other two members of the committee and as the majority of the audience could notful ,ly understand English, the pastor re | produced in Italian the substance of ; the remarks. It was an uuique and in | teresting occasion, made so largely by J the manifest earnestness and pleasure of the foreigners themselves. ! The chapel is a very neat and attrac j tive building with seating capacity of | 150 to 200. It has a bell on it, the ring j ing of which reminds the whole neigh I borhood that there is a churgji there j to which they are all welcome. Not the least encouraging feature of the work is that the Italians contribute liberally to support of it. The property will represent an outlay of over (2,- 500 and is held by the "Presbytery in its corporate capacity. TEN DAYSJN COUNTY JAIL George Snyder, commonly known|as "Scorgo," was committed to jail yes terday to serve a fentence of ten days under the act of June 25, 1895. The defendant was arrested on a warrant sworn out by his wife charg ing him with drunkenness and disord erly'comluct. Tuesday night he was taken into custody bv Officer Voris and placed iu the lockup, where he remained until 10 o'clock yesterday morning, when he was arraigned be fore Justice of the P^ace.Dalton. At the hearing Mrs. Snyder, the 1 complainant, exhibited a badly dis colored eye, which she said was caus ed by her husband. The usual fine was imposed. The defendant had no money for either fine or oosts and in default of pay ment he was committed to the county ! prison for ten days. FIGHTING THE SAN JOSE SCALE A. Woodward Stephens, the State orchard inspector for Mont-our, North umberland and Columbia counties, has arranged to complete the work of the season by a series of demonstrations, which will show how the scale may be controlled. In many sections of Montour county this little insect has been especially destructive making perfect fruit im possible. Even in Dauville the scale is very prevalent.

Lyon and Miss Carrie Reber and a few little girls gave a most delightful entertain ment Tuesday evening in the amuse ment hall at the State hospital to an audience of 650. The entertainment was a repetition of the one given in the lecture room of the Mahoning Presbyterian church, a few weeks ago, with a few addition al features. The drills and poses were rendered with exceptional skill,which inspired most hearty applause from the audience during the whole per formance. Chas. Lyon, a great favorite of the people connected with the institution, did himself justice with a few solos. Mary Morrison, of York, aged 3 years, was brought to death's door on Monday by drinking a bottle of sooth ing syrup, but the heroic use of an tidotes saved her. While Frank Staniski, of Wilkes- Barre, aged 14 years, was examining a revolver that he thought wasn't load ed it was discharged, killing him in stantly. ESCAPED FINE EOT PAID COSTS : Had the articles u~t appealed m this paper from tiuu- to time relative to the penalty for 811-I iting in the bor ough linen properly londed two hoys might have been spaied the humilia tion of arrest Tuesday and the result a;it expenditure of liiuuey in tiie form j Of OOHtH. The shooting with flobert rifles, air. guns and the like is a ntftsanue, which ; it seems, is restricted to uo part of the I borough. Few people, however, suffer j quite so much as Benjamin Simmons, 1 whose pioperty is situated along the river at the foot of Iron street. There ! is lots of shooting in that locality and ! the amateur marksmen all seem to point their guns toward Mr. Sim mon's house. Withiu a few days past one of the bullets lodged in tlie window frame of Mr. Simmons' residence, while an other oue struck au outbuilding, pass ing through the boards and lodging iu a wash tab Under the circumstances Mr. Simmons thought it was about time to adopt drastic measures and lie proceeded to make arrests. He lodged information before Justice Oglesby, ou the strength of which warrants were sworn out charging Frank Asliton and Sherman Bell with shooting iu the borough. Both boys pleaded guilty, after which Mr. Sim mons geueronsly withdrew the charge, deeming that the boys would be suffi ciently punished—for the first offense— if obliged to pay the costs. The prosecution was brought under the act of April 15, 1903, which itn- j poses a penalty of fivo dollars for dis charging flobert rifles, air guns, etc., i within the limits of a borough. Whether the arrest of the two hoys will serve as a warning to others who are iu the habit of discharging flobert iifles and the like in the borough re mains to be seen. Unless the practice discontinues other arrests will surely follow aud, it would be presuming al together too rnnch to suppose that those arrested later ou will be let off quite as easily as the two boys haled before the justice of the peace Tues day. * HE QUOTED ST. PAUL A Bishop's Blunder and the Clever Way It Was Corrected. A certain bishop of one of the middle states is described as a man who pos sessed groat learning, but hail not the saving sense of humor. In "Reminis cences of Bishops and Archbishops" Bishop Potter gives an instance of the absence of tills quality. It happened on one occasion that an episcopal election had come up for re view in the house of bishops, and ques tions as to the bishop elect were being asked and answered with considerable freedom. A bishop who knew the bish op elect in a very Intimate way was on his feet and was being catechised, when a bishop called out, "What kind of wife has our brother elect?" "Ills present wife"— began the bish op thus challenged, wbeu the middle state delegate sprang to his feet. "One moment!" he cried. "Do I un derstand my brother aright? Did he say 'llls present wife,' and am I to un derstand that by that phrase he means to imply that the brother elect has had a previous wife? Because, if so, I can not vote for his confirmation. St. Paul says, 'A bishop must lie the husband of one wife.' " For a moment the house, in which were a number of bishops who, having been bereaved of their earthly part ners, had supplied their places, sat still in stunned silence, until a prelate, whoso sense of humor was as keen as the last speaker's was feeble, rose is his place and said, "Do I understand that the bishop regards the language of the apostle which he has just quoted as mandatory?" "Certainly!" exclaimed the man who had objected. "Very well, then, Mr. ''hairn an," said the interrogating bishop blandly, "if the bishop regards the language of St. Paul, when lie says that a bishop must be the husband of one wife, as mandatory. I should like to ask him what he proposes to do with the bishop f»f"— naming a bachelor bishop—"who j hasn't any?" ! There was a shout of laughter, amid , which the bishop who had objected ! took his seat, flushed and angry. The i humor of his blunder was wholly un pereeived by liim. Ha Wasn't a Gormand.

FOREIGNER GOES TO JAIL A hearing involving the charge of assault and battery, in which both complainant aud defendant were den izes of the foreign quarter.took place before Justice of the Peace Daltou Monday morning. It was a typical case. During the entire hearing tliore was a war of words between the complainant and defendaut in which the witnesses took part.leaviug the justice only now and then an opportunity to get a word in. Of coarse to the jostice it was all an unintelligible jargon aud an inter preter had to be called iu. The defendant was a Russian,known under the thoroughly American ap pellation of "John Evans " He was accused of committing assault and bat tery on Rosie Kominski, a woman of the foreign quarter. He was arrested by Chief of-Police Mincemoyei be tween 2 aud 3 o'clock Sunday morn ing. An excited foreigner came runniug up Mill street calling for the police, explaining that a woman had beeii killed. The chief hurried down to the foreigu quarter. He found the woman very much alive but nevertheless he was obliged to take the man into cus tody. The latter was placed iu the lock-up, where he remained for over a day and a night. Isaac Stein, the Russian shoemaker, was called in as interpreter. Isaac is a linguist of uo mean ability and boasts of a knowledge of Russian, Polish aud English, with a fair smattering of Ger man, Turkish and the language of Slavs. The interpreter got along very nice ly with the babel of tongues at the hearing, but he could not bring the defendant and prosecutor together. The former wanted to settle badly but the woman who had caused the arrest wouldn't hear to such a thing. "Court, Court." she repeated. These seemed the only words iu English that she knew aud she reiterated them ov er and over to express her determina tion not to settle. The justice fixed the bail at SBOO. The defendant was unable to procure a bondsman and in default of bail was committed to jail to await trial.
