LESS STUDY FOR GIRLS.
Pres»dertt of Smith College Thinks
Marriage Is More Important.
In the interest of early marriages by
college gtris President L. Clark Seelye
of Smith college In his annual report
lsued the other day recommends sltn
pHScatl-.n of entrance examinations,
savs a Northampton (Mass.i special dis
patch to the New York Times. Ordi
narily the annual report receives scant
attention from Smith young wcinen,
bet there has been a wild scramble
by 1.400 for copies of this document.
"The present reijotrements protract
• unduly the period of pupilage." says
I>r. Seelye, "and they have made a
higher education more expensive and
thereby less accessible except to the
wealthier classes, who do not always
possess the greatest Intellectual ability.
As mo«st of the ablest men come from
the poorer classes. It would be both a
public and a private calamity if It
should become harder for poor girls
and boys of ability to gain the mental
culture they desire.
"It would be a still greater loss if
by postponing the time of graduation
family life should be lmpalre.l. A col
lege education should not contribute to
| the modern tendency to celibacy. Phy
sicians also complain that the amount
. of study required for admission seri
ously Interferes with normal physical
: development."

VERDICT OF
CORONER'S JURY
Continued from Ist Page,
ear? their professional opinions as to j
the cause of death before the jury at
its final sitting last night.
LIQUOK NOT THE CAUSE.
Pr. Paules was called first. He stal
led that under the scalp on the skul!
they found a contused wound (not a
fracture). U]»on opening the skull
they found that an internal hemor
rhage had lieeu sustained, fully a quart
of blood escaping when the incision
was made. This hemorrhage hid re
sulted from a ruptured blood vessel
caused, in the opinion of both of the
| physicians, by one or another of the
wounds on the head or face. Both of
the physicians were of the opinion
(hat the alcohol consumed ha not
caused the boy's death. They found
all the organs in the chest in a normal
and healthy condition.
GIBSON CALLED AGAIN.
Edwin Gibson was again called be
fore the jury a a the last witness heard
last night. He testified that he took
but two drinks of the whiskey during
the afternoon of Monday and that he
was sober all the time. He told his
story of the afternoon in the shanty
iu full, which has been previously
lated in these columns. He was clear
iu all of his statements, and under ex
amination stuck to his story that there
had been no suggestion of a quarrel.
After hearing all of the testimony
th-' jury soou arrvied at its verdict.

The river bridge is in good coudi

surface of the end or batter posts,
which are affected with rust, owing
to the fact that the paint is worn off
The grand jury recommends that the
hatter posts be repainted where it is
| needed.
We would recommend the erection
of a retaining wall and filling in
at the plot of ground belonging to the
county situated between the abutment
' the river bridge and the water
v>orks of the borough of Danville. *"""
In the court iiouse we find the in
terior badly in need of renovation. We
would recommend that the walls in-
J eluding those of the corridors be re
painted; also that the ceiling of the
audience room be decorated.
We wonld recommend that a ventil
ator of approved type be installed in
the ceiling of the audience room.

AWAITING ENGINE
AND DYI^AMO
The new engine and dynamo to be j
installed at the light plant have not
as yet been heard from, although ac- j
j cording to information from the
manufacturing plant at Olevelaud they
were shipped from that place n couple
of weeks ago. The whereabout of the
machinery seems quite a mystery. Un
less held back beyoud all reasonable |
delay the new unit should arrive at
Danville any day.
Several weeks will no doubt be oc- j
cupied in installing the engine and !
dynamo, so that according to the pres- I
ent outlook it is not likely that the
new unit will 1 ready for service be
fore April Ist, ■■ i <i li is conslderably

A patriot is a lover of the nation. As
patriotic sons mid daughters of Am
erica we are the product of the institu
tions, of the life of the spirit of
the nution It is our duty to appreci
ate the blessings which we eujoy as
citizens of this nation, to defend the
Institution*, of our laud, to perpetu
ate them and to hand theui down to
our posterity Liberty is the roul of
our history. Iu its civil aspect it
means whatever is right between man
anil man. In its religious aspect, it
meaus whatever is right between Uod
and man. The two are essentially one.
God is the author of both civil and
religious liberty. "If the Son there
fore shall make vou free, ye shall be
i free indeed." The true patriot is the
1 true Christian, and the true Christian
S is the true patriot
j There are few secret societies that
have grown more in numbers and in
! fluence than the ' Patriotic Order Sons
j of' America. " It is such a tine organ
ization, with such grand motives, that
every free-boru American naturally
drifts into its mystio chain. To the
credit of this order.be it said,that the
flag of freedom, with its stars and
stripes, finds a fitting place in every
public school room in the land.
A banner is the ensign of a uoble
thought, a grand purpose and a right
eous cause. The church and the nation
have their own expressive battle cries.
The cross is the sign of Christianity.
"One Lord, one faith, one baptism,"
is the common motto of the Holy
Catholic church. When the army has
confidence in its general, it unfurls
its standards with rei-olute defiance,
enters upon the contest with a brave
heart and is sure of victory. Our
worthy sires have set np their ban
ners, upon which are emblazoned the
four foundation stones of our national
Igreatuess; Namely: LIBERTY OF
I CONSCIENCE, FREE BALLOT,
| OPEN BIBLE aud PUBLIC SCHOOL.
. With these four pillars our national
j fabric must rise or fall. I ask you
then as loval patriots, to study these
mottoes on Our Banners in the light
of current events, remembering that
"Eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty. "
After speaking separately of the four
foundation sto « of our national
greatness, above referred to,the speak
er urged that all cherish a true love
for God and a pure patriotism for our
country,praying that the Flag of Free
dom unfurl its stars aud stripes o'er
all the earth.
HIGH SCMOOL PUPIL
CRITICALLY ILL
j Miss Elizabeth Quigg.a pupil of the
i local high sol 001, was operated on for
I appendicitis at the home of her father,
i William Quigg, Mahoning township,
j Monday morning. So far as can be de
termined the prospects for recovery
j are good.
' The patient, a seventeen-year-old
I girl, was tnken suddenly very serious
ly ill, her condition being such as to
make it impossible to remove her to
any of the hospitals for treatment.
As a last resort it was decided to
perforin an operation at the home of
the girl's parents. The operation took
place last Monday morning and was
performed by Dr. J. W Bruner of
Bloomsburg and Drs E. A Curry
and G. A. Stock of this city. At last
accounts the patient was doing very
well.
Died at Poor house.
Mrs. Ann Bloomer, who has beeu an
inmate of the Danville and Mahoning
poor house for the past six years, died
at that institution on Monday night.
Any friends or relatives who so desire
may have the remains. Otherwise the
funeral will take place Thursday aft
ernoon at a o'clock from the poor
house.
The latest effort to discredit the
Rockefeller family by writing down
John D. 's father, fails to suit the
popular notion of fair play.

DR. J.' 0. REED
APPOINTED
Veterinarian J. (). Heed lias been
instructed by the local board of health
to inspect the herd* of cattle that sup
ply the dairymen with milk, who dis
pone of their product in Danville.
The appointment of a veterinarian
for this purpose is made necessary by
tlie adoption of new rules by the Stato
hoard of health governing the sale of
milk nnd cream, which go Into effect
on March Ist. After that date in ev
ery milk wagon aud in every storo
from which milk aud cream are sold a
license must be displayed, issued by
the local board of"health,certifying to
a set of "facts, among which is that
each cow aud herd has beeu examined
by a competent veterinarian within
the prescribed number of months and
certified by him to be free from all in
juries or diseases.
The license required March Ist can
he issued only after the cattle have
been inspected that constitute not only
the herds of the dairymen themselves,
but also the herds belonging to the
dairies from which milk is purchased
by the dealers. ' Obviously but little
time remains in which to crowd such
important worb'as inspecting the large
I number of dairies that figure directly
; or indirectly in", supplying Dnnville
I with milk.
! The work of the Inspector embraces
, not only the health inspection but
j sanitary inspection as well. By the
latter is impliedjthat the stables will
have to come up to the standard of i
cleanlines and will have to be proper- I
ly lighted and ventilated, so as to in
sure the most healthful conditions for
the cattle.
| Michaol Ostropihot, of near New
! Philadelphia, Schuylkill conntv re
cently purchased a looking glass,
which was hung in such a manner in
I his home that when looking into it h
: saw two images one being
| a shadowy, misty reflection. This he
thought was his ghost audit sofright-
J ened him that, though in good health
i at the time, he said he would die soon.
I In a few davsl he became indisposed
| and on Saturday he died fiom the ef
j fects of his imagination.
j Dr. J. M.of Reading,
surrounded by his family on Sunday,
celebrated his ninety-first birthday
auniverßary and wrote a special poem
for the occasion.
