Swindlers and th« Mails.
Not long ago a company iu New
Jersey, which solicited subscriptions
from tlis publiu for what was describ
ed as u highly liioiiittbie aud legiti
mate snlieme, was investigated by the
post offioe department, as a result of
complaints by investors. The busi
ness of the compiuy, observes the
Philadelphia Mullet iu. in consequence
of this inquiry, was branded bonus,
and a "fraud order" was issued,deny
into it the use of the mails. Where
upou its backers promptly changed its
name and kept up their former opera
tions, with the added statement that
their concern had the official sanction
of th» jiostal authorities Tlius a
dou'ihi an 1 audacious species of hum
bug has just been exposed by the an
nouncement of the Federal department
in question that "the claims put for
wai 1 are all false", that the original
cou :eni was conducted "as an inten
tion il scheme to defraud," aud that
all mail-addressed to it shall be stump
ed "fraudulent," and returned to its
senders. This is a drastic procedure,
but it seems to be amply warranted
by tie tacts. Not a few swindlers
have been quick to take advantage cf
the temporary distrust of the banks
which was engendered among many
ill-informed people during the recent ;
financial depression; aud aluring cir
cuiars, with promises of profits galore. J
have been sent out in multitudes for
the purpose of gathering in the dol- '
lars of the ignorant and unwary.
Significant Fare Facts.
It is in New York and Pennsylvania
the two most populous States.that the |
2 cent fare proposition has suffered its :
worst defeat. This is something for
students of politics to inquire into. !
In Now York Gov. Hughes vetoed the j
bill because it had been passed with- j
out due investigation as to reasonable- j
ness of the rate. In Pennsylvania the
supreme court has decided against the |
law because its operation might con- j
flict with charter rights of the Penn- j
sylvania railroad Yet the undisputed
•fact remains that if 2 cents is a rea
sonable rate at all it must be so iu j
these two States, where population is j
congested aud the traveling public is i
more numerous than anywhere else in
the country. Meanwhile there are oth
er States which enjoy the low fare.
Si U S in whioh the railroads submit
ted to legislative regulations without
con < -st and in which, as far as known
there is no intention of making a light
against it.
It is well within belief that Gov.
Hughes' objections to the New York
act wei'c based upon grounds similar
to those which moved the majorit ol
the'sopreme court iu our own State to
decide in favi.r if the railroads. That
being so, the difficulties in the way of
enforcing a 2-cent. law in these two
states lie far back New York aud
Pennsylvania aro esentially railroad
states. The railroads are a very largo
and important part of the commun
ity's life. In the earlier days, con
stitutions and laws were framed to
conserve common carriers, with the
result that railroads got pretty much
what they wauted and some tilings that
they should not have had. The newer
states more remote from the seaboard,
profiting from the experience of re
gions first iu the field, reserved more
to the people, aud thus have been able
to got more from the railroads. Be
sides, most other states have a more
determined opinion iu favor of the
traveling public
This Candidate Went the Rounds.
I'i the fifth ward iu Suubury, the
Democrats have nominated J. Adam
Oake for school director. In politics
there is uo more remarkable career
than that of Judge .T. A. Cake.
In the early seventies the judge was
an officeholder in the Philadelphia
custom house under the Grant admin
istration. So he started in life as a
R publican. In 1872 lie j Mined the

THE LECTURES
AT THE Y. M. C. A.
Tliis week's numbers of the two lec
ture oourses at the Y. M. O. A. will
be of particular interest, two of Dan
ville's best known physicians being
the speakers—Dr. Ourry this even
ing and Dr. J. E. Robbius tomor
row evening.
Tlio lecture on Thursday evening
| will be the third talk by Dr. Curry in
the scries of ten lessons on "First Aid
to the Injured," and lie will deal with
the subject, "Respiration, Suffocation
and Artificial Respiration." At 8:80
the class will bo transferred to the
auditorium and all members of the Y.
M. O. A. except Juniors will be ad
mitted. A practical demonstration
will be given of the treatment of the
apparently drowned. All those of the
seniors and intermediates who enjoy
swimming should be present, as one
never knows how soon ouo will be
compelled to help save a life iu this
manner.
The subject of the lecture before the
1 "First Aid"' class last Thursday night
was the circulation of the blood, hem
orrhage, bleeding aud its treatment.
Dr. Curry came to the lecture suppli
ied with the heart of a calf which he
| dissected before the class,showing the
| auricles, ventricals,valves,eto. Practic
| al instruction in bandaging was given
i and the class room soon looked like
j the emergency ward in a hospital.
! One of the State secretaries of the
IY. M. C. A. happened to drop into
tho class room during the lecture, aud
after attending during the entire ses
j sion, expressed himself as being great
|)y pleased with the instruction and
| the iutorest shown by the men.
DISEASE GERMS.
The practical leoture on Friday
Jeveuing, beginning at 7:19, will be
! delivered by Dr. J E. Rohbins ou
{ "Disease Germs and How to Avoid
Them." Dr. Robbius will illustrate
j his lecture by the use of a microscope.
In view of the recent prevalence of
' typhoid fever this lecture will bo par
ticularly practical at this time The
! attendance at these lectures is not con- |
fined to the members of the Associa
! tion. Any man iu Danville or vicinity
; is welcome.
Cook, Eat and Wash Dishes.
It is not to he wondered that women
do not get enthusiastic ovor dish
washing, and that they get t' ed of
household drudgery. There are so
; many dishes, and they come three
times a day with such deadly regnlar
-1 ity Cook, eat and wash dishes. Isn't
it enough to make a wife discontent
ed. It's unjust, she r'flpcts. Why
I should tilings be like this? Why should
i one woman have $2,000,000 when an
other can't even hire a servant? Why
Jdo some people have everything, peo
: pie with not half, not a quarter of lier
i appreciation, and she have nothing?
j Why doesn't Somebody or Something
| up there beyond that blue sky see and
j know and make things fairer? Cook,
j eat. wash dishes. She is ready to cry
at the mere thought of more pots and
: pans What have I got to live for?
1 Here the world is full of places I'd
i like togo and things I'd like to do.
There are hundreds of thiugs I'd like
to think, if I dared. There's books,
and there's travel, and there's music,
j and there's making friends who could
ha friends. I can't have them. You
! can't eet the money to give them to
me and I have'nt the time for them
I even if you could. I haven't time for
! anything except washing dishes —and
I'm sick of washing dishes "
j Hnt the husband understood just
; how it was, that the good wife didn't
• knew exactly what she did want, only
••hat she was hungry for something
she did not have, and she vented her
feelings on the dishes. This wise man
I put his arms around her aud said,
| " Dear I'd like to give you every
thing. I'd give you wealth, pleasure,
travel, and ease if in my power. But
vnu have me and I have you, and it
I isn't such a bad old world at that.
! Some of us can ho the pretty, shiny
1 narts of the machine, some of us cau
| he out by the windows,and then some
j of the rest of us have to be the little
1 cogs end wheels on the inside, where
we're not as prettv and where we
don't see as much. But I guess we are
| the ones that make the machine move
I guess if it wasn't for you and me
i and all the rest like us the old uiach
i ine wouldn'tibe good for much. I'm
not sure that washing the dishes isu't
a beautiful thing, and maybe a little
; better for us than looking at St. Pet
er' I ' or hearing a string quartet, if
we've got to choose between them,
i Every dish you wash doesn't mean
anything but 'I love my husband,'
and every one you wipe and put away
doesn't mean anything hut. 'This is
home ' Come on! You wash and I'll
i wine!"
And tho woman—hut everybody
knows what she did.

Washlngt.mville Wants Trolley.
F>r some time the people of the
northern end of Mainour county, and
the residents of Wasliingtonvillo and
vici ity in particular, have beeu de
sirous of being connected to the county
seat by trolley, aud now that the talk
of a lije between Danville and Milton
is being agitated, a determined effort
will bo made to have the new road
built by way of Washingtonville.
To this end a number of the promi
nent citizens of that section of the
county have been out among tho farm
ers and others whose laud would lie
along tho right of way and it has been
found that the sentiment is unani
mously in favor of the proposition.
So eager are the people for a trolley
that those who are in a position to
know state that between Duuville aud
Washingtouviile there is not oue land
owner ou whose property the trolley
would abut, who would object to giv
ing free passage to the line.
A few days ago several of the more
enthusiastic spirits mot at Washiug
touville and discussed the project.
Present were ilarry Billmeyor.of Der
ry township; Georgo Oliver Wagner,
of Limestone township: C. W. Seidel
and Dau'Frazier, of Washingtonville.
Itw as the sense of these men that the
matter should be properly exploited
and then a mass meeting should be
called at which all interested, and es
pecially those residing along the line,
be present.
In tiiis way something definite could
he iloue, aud'the results of the meet
ing could bo placed in the hands of a
committee, whose business it would
ha to interest the proper parties in the
scheme.
So sauguiue are the people in that
section that the line would be a great
success that it is believed that many
of the bonds for the new road could bo
sold among the residents along the
line.

A Trio of Fires
OHIO A GO, Jau 29.
One of the most disastrous fires that
have afflicted the downtown district
of Chicago since 187-1 occurred last
night aud this morning iu the block
bouuded by Wabash and Mioliigiu
avenue ard Madison and Monroe
streets. The fire practically destroyed
the buildings occupied by Alfred Peats
& Co., Joiiu Colby & Sous aud Edson
Keith & Co.,besides doing large dam
age fo adjacent structures iu both ave
nues. The loss is estimated at $1,700,-
000 in great part covered by insurance.
While the heaviest losers are the firms
named aud the owners of the build
ings, a large number of smaller busi
ness firms sustained losses raugiug
from $5,000 to flu,ooo.
FIVE BUILDINGS ATTACKED.
Surface car lines on Wabash avenue
are unable to use their downtown loop
today while the police keep pedes
trians off the block between Monroe
aud Madisou streets, on Wabash ave
nue. Five buildings in all were at
tacked by the flauies, which started
about t> o'clock yesterday evening
The flames took a fresli start about
midnight, causing a recall of several
companies of firemen. The fire was
under control at 2 a. nj , and practir
ally extinguished at 7 o'i lock, but the
firemen have boeu playing strewns on
it ali morning. Guests of the Wind

warehouse covered an eutire city
block. Fed by hundreds of tons of
stored paper, the stock of the Crescent
Paper company, occupying five stories
of the northeast section of the build

put it utterly beyond the control of
the firemen. Every available piece of

The Way Prisoners In Montenegro Aro
Treated.
When I paid a visit to the Cetinje
juil I found that all the prisoners wero
out for a walk. For two hours every
morning aud again for two hours in
the afternoon they are allowed to wan
der about on the green before the pris
on. There Is nothing, indeed, hut their
own sense of honor to prevent their
going farther afield unless they be
murderers, in which case they wear
chains. The authorities provide them
with housing, of course, and with
clothes—not uniform also with a fire
at which to cook their food, and they
give them fourpeuce a day each to
buy it. The prisoners cater for them
selves. Two of them go to the market
every morning to buy provisions for
the day. They are not required to work
unless they choose, and they are classi
fied not according to the seriousness
of their offense, but according to their
standard of life and general behnvior.
If a man of education and refinement
is sent to prison, care Is taken to
him, so far as possible, hi a room
where the other occupant; belong to
his own rank in life. I found on one
bed a beautiful counterpane and a pil
low covered with delicate embroidery.
"Yes, poor fellow, that's his wife's
handiwork," the governor of the jail
remarked casually as we passed. Iu
one prison life was made so easy anil
pleasant that on leaving it I ventured
to remark that to be there was no puu
ishmeut, it seemed to me.
"No punishment!" the official who
was with me exclaimed in surprise.
"But think of the disgrace of being
here. Is not that in itself punishment
enough?"
I had and still have doubts on the
subject, for I had just seen a cheery
old fellow who, although the time for
which he was sentenced had expired,
stoutly refused to quit the prison.—

Marriage a;, a Failure.
There is more nonsense talked In
the abstract about marriage as a fail
ure than is talked # about any other
branch of the conduct of life. If a
census on the subject could be taken 1
am sure It would be found that the
majority of married people jog along
very comfortably and are much hap
pier iu their united state than they
possibly could have been had they re
mained unmarried. The number of di
vorces Is usually quoted to prove that
marriage Is a failure, but what, after
all. Is the number of divorces iu pro
portion to a population of many mil
lions of married people?— Mine. Sarah

DANVILLE AND
SOUTH SIDE
The general seutiri, it in favor of
anuex'ng South Dan ille aud adjacent
territory to the borough of Danville,
which has existed fir many years, iu
view of the net pa*si t by the last leg
islature, may before long ciystallize
into some well direct d move that w ill
yield tangible results.
Never before prubitiiy was the senti
ment in favor of consolidation strong'
er than at the present time. In dis
cussing the advantages aud, incident
ally, some of the disadvantages, that
Danville and South Danville possess a
leading resident, of the south side yes
terday took occasion to revert to the
subject of consolidation,holding it up
as the one thing needful aud without
which material growth aud prosperity
on both sides of the river would be re
tarded.
At this stage it is hardly necessary
to thrash over old straw and en
umerate all the advantages that would
accrue to the south siders through the
possession of the public utilities of
electric light,water, etc; of being in
corporated in the county seat and
made one with a municipality with
which they have so much in cotflmon.
By the annexation of the territory on
the south side a "greater Danville"
would bo built up in line with modern
method and development The advant
ages accruing would he so palpable,so
! varied and so numerous that opposi-
I tion to the consolidation from any
sane source would not have to be reck
oned with.
The only thing that remains to be
done is to examine the Act of March
21, 1907, to determine whether or not
it applies to Danville and the south
side. It will be found that the act
passed by the last legislature is sup
plementary to the act approved April
22, 1903, which enabled the burgess or
council of any incorporated town by
ordinance to annex to the borough or
incorporated town adjacent territory
upon petition of the majority of the
freehold owners thereof. The act as
amended in 1907 provides that the
"adjacent territory" to be annexed
may lie ' in the same or an adjoining
county." Section I in part reads as
follows:
"Be it enacted, &c., That the bur
gess or council of any borough or in
corporated town shall have power on
petition of the majority of freetiold
owners of any lot or outlots of any
section of land lying adjacent to said
borough or incorporated town in the
same or in an adjoining county,to de
clare by ordinance the admission of
snob lots or outlets, &c "
Under the law it would appear that
| there is no legal obstacles in the way
of annexing territory on the south side
to Danville whenever a majority of
freehold owners of lots on that section
shall petition council to declare by
ordinance the admissiou of such lots.
