PLUCKY WOMAN
CAUGHT THIEF
Suubury has at least one woman who
is plucky—Mrs. Sallie Gutelius, who
on Monday night, while alone iu her
home, captured a burglar aud held
liim until the police arrived.
Mrs. Gutelius had retired to her
room and shortly after'twelve she wa
awakened by hearing drawers opening
and shutting. She concluded togo
down and investigate. When she got
down stairs she turned ou the light
and saw a stranger at tiie pantry door.
Just at this time he turned to look at
her.
With remarkable presence of mind
she called for help from up stairs and
spoke as if there were a dozen men in
the house well provided with guus,
pistols and other deadly weapons.
This was a very shrewd movement on
the part of the lady, for it had its de
sired effect. The intruder, becoming
alarmed, protended to stagger to a
lounge iu the sitting room, where he
lay down,feigning drunkenness. Mrs.
Gutelius, speedily phoned for Officer
Morton, who took the intruder in
charge and gave him lodging in the
lockup. Tuesday morning he was tok
en before Squire Shipman before
whom Mrs Gutelius lodged complaint.
The culprit is well known aud for that
reason there was a disposition to deal
leniently with him. He gained ad
mission to the house by crawling
hron gh a back window.

TRAVERSE JURORS
WILL NOT APPEAR
President Judge O. O. Evans paid a
visit to this city Monday afternoon
for the purpose of couferring with
Prothonotary Yiuceut relative to the
amount of business ou hand for the
next term of oourt. His Honor made
au order directing the sheriff to notify
the traverse jurors not to appear.
Under the order it will be under
stood that court is not called off. The
grand jurors along with the constables
of the various districts of the county
will appear as usual. The traverse
jurors alone will be notified that their
services will not be needed and that
tliey will not be expected to attend.
Court will convene at 10 o'clook
next Monday morning. The soldiers'
monument proposition along with
some other matters will ocoupy the
grand jury duriug a day or so. In ad
dition to taking the returus of the
constables, accounts will be confirmed
and the regular routine business of
court will be transacted. As is impli
ed by not calling the traverse jurors
no cases will be tried. The entire ses
sion of court will probably occupy but
little over a day. Up to the present
there is but one Commonwealth case
on hand, which may be disposed of
without the aid of the jury.
The notification of the jurors that
have been drawn not to appear at court
entails a stupendous amount of work
upon the shoriff, who must see to it
that each juryman receives his notice.
In order that there may be no risk nor
uncertainty in tiie matter the sheriff
as a rule in such cases sees each juror
in person driving backward and for
ward over the county until the mile
age traversed foots up a pretty big to
tal.

anon Railroad company, which con
trols tiie Mt. Gretna site has talked
tiie matter over witli national guard
officials and ottier railroad authorities
audit is agreed that Gettysburg has
been practically selected.
Tiie delay of the State authorities in
providing for an extension of the
State rifle range property at Mt Gretna
is partly responsible tor the encamp

Death of Rdward P. Thomas.
Out readers will be pained to learn
I of the death of our townsman, Edward

ville for interment
The deceased left Danville for Cum
; berlaud Md., on December 30th last
and on January Ist entered upon a
| position as traveling salesman for the
Morrison Music company of that
I place. Up to abaut two weeks ago
j there was a frequent interchange of
' letters between the deceased aud his
; friends in this city. The letters were
lof the usual tone aud conveyed no
| hint of ill health.
Naturally, therefore, a telegram re
ceived Saturday afternoon telling of
i his death produced quite a shock. The
! deceased was found dead in bed Sat-
I urday morning. Beyond this the tele
i gram conveyed no details. Whether
I death was sudden or the man had been
ill for some days is not known. Up
on his person the deceased carried a

[of the Danville Lodgt of Elks. The

JEWEL FOR MRS. BAKER EDDY
Beautiful Evidence of Honor Conferred
by the French Government.
The Jeweled insignia of ua officer
d'Academie, the honor recently con
ferred upon Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy,
head of the Christian Science church,
by the French government, was pre
sented to Mrs. Eddy In recognition of
literary achievements at her new
homo in Newton, Mass., the other day
by Dr. John H. Worthen, president of
the First Church of Christ. Scientist,
Concord, X. 11.
The jewel is the gift of the members
of the Concord cluirch, who obtained it
in France, says u Boston dispatch to
the New York Times. The insignia
consists of an olive and a palm branch,
formed into a wreath, attached to a
crescent composed of live white dia
monds, suspended from a royal purple
ribbon. The leaves of tbe palm and
olive branches are set with sixty-five
diamonds, and tbe olive berries are
represented by rubles, of which there
are five stones.
Proper Treatment For Burns.
In case of burns death may IK? due,
first, to asphyxia; second, to shock
and, third, to septicaemia.
The medical man seldom gets to the
case in time to treat the first condi
tion, the second Is essentially a gen
eral condition, while the whole success
in preventing the third depends upon
the immediate local treatment. It is
therefore the last condition which most
be considered here. Among the public
it Is a generally accepted idea that the
thing to do in the case of a buru is to
dust flour over it or to cover it with
oil, and, indeed, even in some compar
atively late text books ou surgery a
mixture known as "Carron oil'' is ad
vocated.
The use of such applications cannot
be too strongly deprecated, and, indeed,
If the lay mind could be taught that
the best tiling to put on a buru before
the doctor is called Is a hot compress,
which should contain some boracic
acid if there is any in the house, it is
probable that the majority of deaths
doe to septicaemia after barns would
be prevented.
For the whole aim and object of the
local treatment Is to prevent sepsis.
Flour and olive oil may be soothing
and may allay the pain, but there is
no antiseptic property in them; rather
they are excellent culture media foi
bacteria.—London Hospital.
A Natural Fortress.
In the northern part of Madagascar
Is the most remarkable natural fortress
In the world. It is occupied by a wild
tribe who call themselves the People of
the Rocks. The fortress is a lofty and
precipitous rock of enormous size, 1,000
feet high and eight square miles in
area. Its sides are so steep that it
cannot be climbed without artificial
means. Within it is hollow, and the
only entrance Is by a subterranean
passage.—St. James' Gazette.
ADDRESS DY THE
REV. J. E. GDY
The Brotherhood of the Grove Pres
byterian church held it regular meet
ing Friday. The speaker oa the oc
, casion was the Rev. J. ij), Guy,pastor
of the Hhiloh Reformed church.
The Presbyterian Brotherhood at the
Grove churoh was organized one year
ago. At its next monthly meeting its
first will be observed. The
organization bag prospered and now
has a membership of some forty men,
comprising the younger and more ac
tive element of the congregation. The
object of the organisation is to pro
mite a spirit of Christian fellowship
and sociability among ttie men of the
congregation and at the same time to
keep them in touch with the real work
of the churoh.
The meetings, which are held on the
second Friday evening of eaoh month,
are exceedingly nice affairs and are
attended generally not only by the en
tire membership bnt also by a largo
number of others, not members, but
who belong to the church and hove re
ceived special invitations.
Two very attractive features belong
to these monthly meetings, one being
a spirited and appropriate address and
the other a fine supper. The address
may be delivered by the pastor, the
liav. Dr. McOorinack, or some other
popular clergyman, who lias been in
vited to speak at the meeting.
The address of the Rev. J. E. Guy
Friday was no exception to the rule
aud revealed that the speaker was
thoroughly in sympathy with the
movement and is himself by prbcept
and example, a potent factor in bring
ing about that spirit of true Christian
sociability, which the Brotherhood
aims to promote.
The supper generally follows the ad
dress Oil a few occasions the mem
bers availed themselves of the kindly
proffered servioes of a committee of
ladies, but Friday night, as well as at
several previous meetings, the men
themselves served the supper. After
the meal, while seated around the
table, subjects pertaining to the org
anisation are discussed by the mem
bers, who are called upon in succes
sion by the chairman, Mr. A. H.
Grone. The latter feature of the meet
ing is by no means the least interest
ing. Aside from the benefit derived
from the interchange of thought the
members in this way are brought to
gether ou a level and a thorough ac
quaintance with eacli other is culti
vated.
