ESPERANTO CLUB
JNJMVILLE
The plan to have a universal langu
age for all the nations has found a
footing in Danville bylthe recent org
anization of a club. The club is made
up of young Danville men who have
banded themselves together nuder the
name of the Danville Esperanto olub,
with the motto "Knowledge is Pow
er." The objeot of the olub is to study
the new language, which is called
Esperanto. There are at present eight
members as follows : President, Ourtis
Lore; secretary, Ralph Still; treasur
er, Lewis Robinson; Frank Lovett,
Frank Cooper, Lundy Russell, Thomas
Bowers and Harold MoOlure The
organization will hold weekly meet
ings.
A universal language has been con
sidered as among the most urgent
needs of humanity for many centuries.
Esperanto is believed to possess all the
attributes that will make it desirable
to all peoples. It is the very essence
of simplicity. Its grammar comprises
but sixteen simple rules. It has arb
itrary verb, noun, adjective and ad
vorb endings and a system erf prefixes
and suffixes that makes it possible to
treble the vocabulary.
Iu European countries the language
has been taken up seriously,especially
iu France, whore to a large extent it
is taught in the public schools. The
members of the Danville Esperanto
club are now in communication with j
Esperantists in Russia, Switzerland, j
Germany, France, England and even j
in New Zealand.
In America the new language has '
taken but slow hold, -and to the most
people it is unknown. However, a
national organization has been formed
in the United States.
There is more Catarrh in this section j
of the country thau all other diseases
put together, and until the last few j
years was supposed to be incurable, !
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease and pre- j
s<yibed local remedies, and by const- ;
antly failing to cure with local treat- j
ment,pronounced it incurable. Science ]
has proven catarrh to be a coustitu- j
tioual disease and therefore requires j
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catar
rh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Che
ney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one hundred i
dollars for any case it fails to cure, j
Send for oirculars and testimonials.

DISTINGUISHED
LODGE EVENT
The fortieth anniversary of Beaver
lodge, No 132, Knights of Pythias, was
held in the rooms of the lodge, this
oity, on Saturday evening. The ad
dresses aud the musioal numbers of
the program were of the highest order
and the anniversary as a whole was a
complete success. There was a very
large attendance made up of members
of Beaver lodgo No. 132 and visiting
knights.
Among the visitors was a double
male quartette of Plymouth, all mem
bers of the order, whose excellent sing
ing during the evening added very
mnoh to the pleasure of the oocaslon.
The double quartette iB composed of
the following gentlemen,each of whom
Is an acoomplished vocalist with a
wide reputation: Thomas Jenkins,
Johu Powell, Harry Davis, Thomas
Close, Lewis Davis, John Rowe, Al
bert Jones, David Gower aud Robert
R. Roberts, piauist. Among other vis
iting Knights were: A. E. Williams,
William G. Roberts, and Gladstone
! Roberts,of Plymouth; Thomas S. Rob
. erts.of Wilkesßarre and B. E. Young
! man, city engineer of Hazletou.
Our townsman, George W. Miles, a
charter member of Beaver lodge, No.
132, aud a member of the Grand Tri
bunal, who for years was a central
figure at the anniversaries, was unable j
to attend owing to ill health. A very
felicitous letter was read from Mr.
Mites, expressing regret that he could
not attend, but stating that he was
present in spirit. Mr. Miles' absence
was a matter of much regret to the
members.
During the forty years of its history
Beaver lodge has continued to grow
aud prosper. It now has 143 members
with a fund of to draw upon, if j
j needed. An effoA is now being made j
to raise the lodge membership to two j
hundred. These circumstances figured
more or less prominently among the
topics discussed by the several speak
ers during the evening.
The address of welcome was to have
been delivered bv George W. Miles,
whose name was on the program Osv- i
ing to his absence the above address j
was delivered by David Reese. Other
speakers were: Hou. R. Scott Ammer- j
man, W. L Sidler, Esq., aud Hou. J
James Wwfrkins, grand vice chancellor j
l of the graud lodge of K. of P., of 1
! Pennsylvania.
The coincidence that (he 40th an
niversary of Beaver lodge No. 132 and
Washington's birthday £i!l ou the same
date suggested to each of the speakers
that there is a parallel between the
exalted character of the Father of His
| Country aud that of a true Knight of
Pythias, who refieots in his daily life
and actions the principles of his ord
er.
Instrumental music was furnished
by Fetterman's orchestra. The over
ture, which was rendered in adecided-j
ly pleasing and artistic manner, was
followed with two other numbers by
the orchestra. The double male quar
tette rendered two selections, iu addi
tion to which there were a tenor solo
by John Powell, a piano solo by Rob
ert R. Roberts, a tenor solo by Harry
Davis aud a baritone solo by David
Gower. Every number of the program
! was most enthusiastically received but
j none more so than the several solos, j
each of which was given an encore
After the exercises a fine banquet'
was served, turkey beiug a feature of !
j the menu. The committee was oom

AN INTERESTING
Snake stories, like flsli stories, pos
seas a strange fascination (or the aver
age human being. It might reason
ably be supposed however, that we
should hear but little of snakes during
winter's ioy reign when, if the teaoh
mg of natural history counts for any
thing, every normal specimen of the
reptile kingdom should he hibernating
where it is out of sight, if not out of
knowledge, of man. Yet, as will be
observed from the daily prints, snake
stories are beginning to claim all sea
sons of the year as their own.
The latest Bnake story and one which
possesses a peculiar interest is related
by our townsman, Mr. Orant Ridg
way. The gentleman lately transact
ed business along Spruce creek, Col
umbia oounty, where he became ac
quainted with a farmer, of an inquir
ing turn of mind, who is conducting
a most unusual experiment.
The Spruce creek man had heard a
great deal of snakes hibernating and
he was anxious to know juat how far
the reptiles (are influenced by in
stinct. Last fall he accordingly cap
tured a hlacksnake some four feet in
length and placed it in a cave built
against the hill side, which had been
formerly used as a potato cellar. The
temperature in the cave is always
above the freezing point. Near the
top of the wall on one side is a small
window through which the sun on
clear days for a couple of hours j
streams through, lighting up the in
terior and raising tho temperature
perceptibly.
During the experiment the snake at
no time, even during zero weather,
became torpid in the sense that it lost I
the power of exertion and feeling J
During the coldest weather it was !
sluggish or inactive but it was still j
verv much alive.
When Mr. Ridgway visited the farm I
the other day ho was permitted to see j
his snakeship as he was resting in |
winter quarters. The sun then was [
streaming in through the small win- |
dow and under its influence the big j
reptile was unusually frisky. As our
townsman entered the dingy cave the j
hlacksnake did not impress him as a
desirable companion, even though it j
was mid winter.
HENRIETTA CROSMAN
ON SATURDAY
A comedy of sentiment is the novel ;
description of"The New Mrs. Lor- j
ing,'' the play bv Jessie Trimble in
which Miss Henrietta Crosmau will .
appear at the Danville opera house i
Saturday afternoon and evening.
The play has lor its motive the love
of a mother for her child and the
sacrifices she is often called upon to 1
make for those under her sheltered ;
care. It is said to have been treated j
in a somewhat startling, yet direct
and simple manner by the playwright
and to have won compelling charm in
its interpretation by Miss Orosman.
The motive is certainly one of appeal
ing force to ineu and women of all
classes.
Miss Crosuian, in the role of "Mar
ion," the devoted mother, is given
opportunity for the display ot those ;
admirable artistic gifts with which
she is generously endowed. She car- i
ries her audience with laughter and j
tears through comedy and pathos
avoiding even one dull moment in the
three acts of her entertainment.
The play is in three acts with locales
in New York and England. The story
is modern and in its inter pretation '
Miss Orosman is ablv assisted by a
company of carefully selected players

the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis

MRS. MONROE MAY
NOT BR PROSECUTED
Although three weeks have elapsed
since the verdict of the coroner's jury
that held Deputy Factory Itispecfnr
Bechtel and Mrs. H. E. Mourot i. -
sponsible for the Boyertown open
house disaster, District Attorn",
Schaeffer has as yet tuken no action on
the matter.
It is believed that the move for pro
secutions will fall through, inasmuch
as the jury did uot hold Dr. T J. B.
Rhoads,owner of the opera honto, and
H. E. Manger of Pottstwou, the lessee,
responsible with Bechtel aud Mrs.
Mouroe, in having allowed oil tanks
to act as foot lights.
The apparent attempt to make scape
goats of outsiders is uot approved by
the district attorney. The question
whether Mrs, Monroe, the producer of
the play given at the opera house ou
the night of the fire, can be legally
held is also seriously doubted.
DISAGREEABLE
WEATHER CONDITIONS
The weather yesterday was of the
disagreeable sort that is more charact
eristic of March than February.
A steady rain fell during Tuesday
night, which during yesterday fore
noon gave way to rain aud-the latter
in turn turned to snow, which melted
as fast as it fell. As a result, the
streets were tilled with slush and the
gutters were overtaxed to carry off all
the water. Although the weather clear
ed toward evening the walking was
had. The sidewalks were soon cover
| ed with a thin coat of ice.
The streams did not rise to any con
siderable height. The river, however,
rose over two feet during yesterday
aud at a late hour last night was still
rising. The prospects are that there
will be quite a freshet.
