TROUT SEASON
OPENS APRIL 15
Seven days yet remain ere the trout
season opens in the State on April 15.
Danville*aud vicinity has may enthu
siastic sous of Sir Isaac. Walton and
scores of thorn will depart early next
week to be at their favorite hauuts
bright aud early when the season
opens.
Tho indications are that the comiug
seasou will be even more favorable
than last year,as the sign of high wat
er aud contiuued cold weather haudi
capad fishermen until late in May,but
this year the likelihood is we will
have an early warm spring, aud to
gether with the fact that the streams
were bauk full wheu freezing weather
Bet in last fall, insuring a seasonable
protection to the trout from its natur
al enemies—pot fisherman —skuuks,
muskrats.—weasels, and good catches
may be expected. Another fact that
will opsrate favorably to the sports
men is the excellent work of the State
Constabulary, who for the past two
years have been zealously watching
the trout streams in the north eastern
sectiou of the state. They have made
a number of important arrests for in
fringement of the game fish laws aurl
the successful prosecutions followed
in the payment of stiff fines.
In conclusion allow us to suggest to
every angler to strictly observe the
game fish laws. Don't be a hog, or

ENGLAND'S GREAT DUKE.
Stories of Devonshire, Who Yawned In
His Own Speech.
England lost one of her ablest states
meu when the Duke of Devonshire
died recently at Cannes, France. Many
stories are told of his nonchalance, al
most amounting to disrespect, for the
houses of parliament. He took little
interest in an academic discussion; but,
given a tangible object, he brought the
greatest energies into play and showed
an extraordinary power of concentra
tion and grasp of detail, tie doubtless
worked only from a sense of duty aud
rather obtruded on the public the fact
that he found little pleasure iu fulfill
ing some id' the inevitable obligations
of public life.
Perhiips the best example of this is
the famous incident of the tremendous
yawn given by him iu the middle of
his first official speech iu the house of
commons. Disraeli, looking on, is said
to have smiled and remarked in his
cynical way. "He'll do." A lady to
whom tile tli)".'.' of the yawn was told
as an Indication of the duke's general
air of borei'.i ;u ventured to ask how he
con!', f.osrlli!;.' have yav.ned in the
m1.;..t of lii.' o .n sp.-ech. to which the
duke ; pi. d: "All. you should have
heard the l-li l It was uncommon
ly dull."
A v.ell k.MWu SVotcb M. I". of hum
ble went lo Cliatsworth. one
of t!ie iluk ■"« palatial homes, on a po
litical visit. The Dt'.ke of Devonshire
asked him to lunch, anil the M. 1'
fully appreciated the privilege of touch
ing toes with the duke under his
grace's own table.
But at home that night iu the privacy
of his wife's boudoir tho honorable
member Interpolated gulps of smoky
Indignation with words against the pre
sumption of the nobility.
"Willi, Donald.tin' whatever be ailln'
ye?" she asked.
"Jessie, what would ye give a duke,
like Devonshire, to eat if he'd visit
us?"
"Why, geese aud turkeys!" she re
plied.
"Wull, the day's lunch at Chatsworth
was naething but minced lamb on
toast!"
Chickens to Ring Chime of Bells.
A chime of bells operated by 8,000
chickens Is the original plan of James
Prickett of Saginaw, Mich. On the
floor of the chicken house he will place
a metallic table, which will be con
nected with the chimes far above lu
the tower by an insulated wire. Tho
pecking of the 8,000 roosters and hens,
Prickett declares, will set up a vibra
tory motion In the table, which will
start a powerful electric motor in oper
ation. This motor in turn will release
the spring controlling the chimes, which
will then begin to ring. Thus all the
chickens on the farm will know that
dinner is on and while they are dining
will have music to whet their appe
tites just as the actresses do along the
Great White Way.
ARMY 10 SAVE LIVES,
Details of New Enterprise of the
Red Cross.
YOUNG MEN TO BE ENROLLED
Relief Columns Being Formed In New
York State to Prevent Such Disasters
as tho Collinwood School Fire—Major
Charles Lynch Personally Helping to
Organize.
To help prevent such disasters as
the recent Collinwood school fire is
the object of a trained army which is
now being organized throughout the
state of New York.
"To teach ordinary care aud fore
thought for the prevention of accident
and what to ilo in moments of danger
to prevent Injury or loss of life" Is
one of the main purposes of the Grand
Legion of the Bed Cross, in which rep
resentative young men in every com
munity are to he enrolled. With the
lesson of tho Collinwood school fire in
mtud, every effort is being made by
the organizers of tills movement in
New York to place its services before
the people of New York state as quick
ly as possible.
Four or more legions, each with four
relief columns, sixteen detachments
and sixty-four squads, will compose
the legion, which is to be counted upon
as an effective arm of the American
National Bed Cross. With 250 men
aud 104 officers iu each legion, drawn
from the most active and public spir
ited young men in the state of New
York, It is expected that the organiza
tion will soon become a great power
for saving life. By drilling iu first
aid tactics and spreading knowledge
of simple hygiene and prevention of
accident its members tire preparing to
enter the service of each of their com
munities. The first legion has already
been formed in New York city, and the
second Is'organizing.
Major Charles Lynch of the general
staff of the United States army, an au
thority on Bed Cross work, is person
ally assisting in t lie preliminaries.
After serving with the Japanese army
through the Russo-Japanese war as a
representative of the medical depart
ment of the army Major Lynch is
placing his experience at the disposal
of this new life saving army of New
York state. Secretary of War Taft,
who Is president of the American Na
tional Bed Cross, will soon address in
New York city a mass meeting of
those Interested iu this feature of the
organization's work.
"As an arm of the Bed Cross iu
time of war It is expected that tho
Grand Legion of this state (New York)
will prove of great value to the coun
try." said Charles W. Ilurd, field agent
of the movement, at its headquarters
in New York city the other day. "Its
members will uot bo obliged to serve
iu the army hospital corps, though
they will have an opportunity to do so.
In enlightened individual influence In
time of peace, however, the people of
the state are looking to tho new or
ganization for an ever ready help in
the face of «eudden emergency. The
ranks are open to all men of good
character anywhere who want to lie
especially useful to their community."
AN ESPERANTO STATE.
Proposal to Create One In an Old Eu
ropean Province.
Esperanto enthusiasts, those folks
who are endeavoring to establish a
universal language that appears to
the ordinary individual to lie quite as
abstruse and unwieldy as Sanskrit,
will gain some encouragement from
the novel suggestion made by Profess
or Boy, the French Esporautist, lie
urges the establishment of an inde
pendent Esperanto state iu Europe.
The site he has selected for his ex
periment is on a neutral strip of ter
ritory which lies on the frontier be
tween German}', Belgium and Hol
land, five miles from Aix-la-Chapelle.
This territory is known as Moresnet,
and It Is situated in a pleasaut valley
that has a population of IS,OOO Inhabit
ants. Esperanto is to be the official
language of the place. The expenses
of the state are to be borne by the
subscriptions of Esperantists all the
world over. Tho scheme includes an
Esperanto theater, a daily official Es
peranto Gazette stud a sort of Esper
nntlst parliament, which will meet pe
riodically to discuss the affairs of the

C. W. Anderson Tells How They Will
Be Useful In a Revolution.
"When the American people shall be

the very rich of the country, who now
have monarchical tendencies, and the
nether millstone of the very poor, who

they do not do so the nation will bo

African Methodist Episcopal church, in
New York, in the interest of Wilbcr
foree university, near Xenia, 0., the
oldest college in the United States for
the edueatiou of negroes.
"Far greater things than this have
happened," said Mr. Anderson, "for the
negro that was but a few years ago
liberated is now building schools aud
colleges of his own, which, like other
colleges, shall outlive government."
The Bight llev. William B. Demick,

the meeting to aid the university.

MOVABLE SCHOOLS
PLEASUMMiS
iIARRISBURG, Pa., April 8.
Accordi ok to Deputy Seorotary of
Agriculture Martin, tlie movable
schools for farmers are a success. Dur
ing the wiuter mouths five sucli schools
wore held, and the department will
endeavor to make them a regnlar feat
ure of it* work in the future. In
speaking of the work, Mr. Martin said :
"Undoubtedly an appropriation will
be asked of the uext legislature for
the continuation of the movable
sohools. They have brought the farm
ers into dijefct touch with experts in
various important branches of agri
culture, anil that fact is appreciated.
We aim, not only to continue these
schools, but to so extend them as to
meet the demands of the farmsrs of
Pennsylvania for instruction of this
B3rt.
"We held five schools this winter—
at Waveriy,Lackawanna,county; May
town, Lancaster couutv: North Or
well, Bradford county ; Doe Hun, Ches
ter county, and Ebeusbnrg, Damria
county. Four days were giveu to each
place, aud men who understand dairy
ing, horticulture aud poultry raising
were the speakers. Practical work aud
economy are the aims of the teaching.
"The farmers' institutes of the last
wititer were the most successful ever
held. Institutes were held 400 days in
all, and expenses were so reduced that
the entire cost was only $37 a (lav. The
attendance exceeded that of tho pre
vious year.
"So well received have been the
traveling schools, however, that we
have received a request from Colum
bia couutv to cut out the institutes
ami give them ten days of the school.
We cannot say now whether this can
be done."

NEW TEIM ARM!
Shelter Designed by Schuylkill
Arsenal's Head.
TEST TO BE MADE IN CUBA.
Improvements Make Canvas Carried
by Soldiers as Snug as Brick Walls.
Transporting Permanent Shelters In
Wake of Expeditions Not Necessary.
An American soldier's life iu tile
field will be made as snug us that of
the dweller within brick walls, and a
serious problem of all big military
movements- the transportation of tents
—will he solved by a new type of cau
vus shelter which is now being made
lit the Schuylkill arseual, Gray's Ferry
and Washington avenues, in Philadel
phia.
Captain J. R. It. Uanuay, who is iu
charge of the arsenal, or the Phila
delphia quartermaster's depot, as it Is
officially designated, is the mau who
designed the new tent. After working
out the problem he took the plans to
Washington, aud the result was that
the officials of the war department au
thorized him to manufacture tent
equipment for one regiment, according
to his ideas, says the Philadelphia
Press. If it Is found after this regi
ment has given the new tent a satis
factory trial that it upholds the expec
tations, then this canvas shelter will be
adopted for general use in the army.
Under Captain Hannay's direction
the lirst output of the tents is now
being made. These will he sent to
Cuba, and the commanding officer
there will select a regiment having
hard service in prospect to give them
the tr.v-out. However, this is simply
the formality which all mjlitary inno
vations have togo through, for the war
department never adopts anything un
less it is absolutely certain of its mer
it, aud those who have seen the new
tent are certain that It is bound to be
come the regulation American army
shelter and that the troops of other na
tions will soon adopt it.
Those who have seen encampments
of the state national guard are famil
iar with the type of tents which the
soldiers of Uncle Sam sleep lu when
they go far afield. These are com
posed of two pieces, which are carried
by two soldiers as parts of their equip
ment, together with wooden poles for
holding them up.
These when formed are closed In the
back, but remain open in the front.
Only two sections can be fitted togeth
er—that is, a tent cau be made of the
canvas, carried by two soldiers, aud no
more. Aud there is no way in which
the front can be closed against winds
and storms unless the soldiers them
selves devise some scheme.
Of course these tents are merely
makeshifts. After the soldiers who
carry these on their backs always
come other canvas shelters, which give
them more protection, lint out iu the
Philippines, for instance, where trans
portation facilities are bad, it takes
an exceedingly long time for these
other teuts to get to the scene of their
need, aud usually by the time they get
there the soldiers have "hiked" to some
other territory.
Altogether it was long ago set down
us a military fact that the regulation
tent w:" unsatisfactory and that the
traiu. . 'iun of better shelter was a
thing whit..: ought to be obviated.
The <uiv;:atage which the new tent
possesses was arrived at in a very
simple way. Iu the tents now used
there is a rectangular section which
forms the side wall and a triaugular
part which goes to make the inclosing
flap at the back. The problem was
solved by cutting these apart, separat
ing the triangle aud the rectangular
section. Around the edges of all the
parts, rectangular and triangular, are
buttons aud buttonholes, and with
these tho sections can be brought to
gether iuto almost any conceivable
style of canvas shelter desired.
While with tho canvas now iu use
only two soldiers can combine their
teutage, with the new type any num
ber can join forces, and the more the
better. Of course if only two privates
form a tent the style will be just the
same as at present, but when four
pool their Issues the result is a verita
ble little canvas house, closed both at
the back aud front.
Eight, of course, could make a tent of
similar outline on a larger scale—in
fact, there Is no limit to the number of
those who can thus co-operate to build
a house of canvas. Then, too. walled
tents can be constructed just as easily
as the "A" type.
Captain Hauuily also has made the
new tent much more waterproof than
is that now in use. This was done,
however, not by Increasing the weight
of the material, but by increasing the
tent's slope. To accomplish this a lit
tle more material is put into the new
tent, but the added weight is overcome
by providing a new style tent pole.
The poles now iu use are of wood
and are somewhat awkward for a sol
dier on tile march. The new ones are
of light steel tubing, which lack three
quarters of a pound the weight of the
wooden one aud are easier to carry, be
ing of the telescope variety.
All in all, therefore, the weight of
the canvas Is Increased to raise Its di
mensions, and this is offset by the de
traction of weight from the pole. Con
sequently the burden of the soldier is
not Increased one ounce, and when he
bears it the weight will be made light
er, no doubt, by the knowledge that It
is not a temporary shelter to be used
until the army mules can catch up
With him, but a permanent one.
And when the soldier carries a per
manent tent a considerable load will
be taken off the minds of army offi
cials who, provide for big expeditions.

of city editors, as news editor, you
cannot tell me that the student would
not learn as much as in a newspaper
office.
"You must have a paper such as men
of the caliber I have named could
produce," he continued, "and that sort
of training, supplemented us it would
be all along by the broad, liberal edu
cation of the regular college course,
would, to my mind, be far better than
that hard school of journalism of the
newspaper office as conducted by Gree
ley and by Dana. A student so train
ed would be a capable man in what
ever newspaper office he came to.
"It Is significant that in the last six
years only 3 per cent of Yale gradu
ates have gone into journalism, yet
journalism is the most important
means by which we teach and guide
our American people."
Every one in the audience had a
copy of the sample paper which Colonel
Harvey made up and printed for this
occasion in order to illustruto his
points. This paper in honor of the
founder of the lecture course ho enti
tled the Bromley Morning News. The
paper consists of only four pages,
and as the lecturer proceeded he ex
plained that the chief reason for this
apparent smallness is tluit his paper Is
not an employment agency and prints
no want ads. It is printed on heavy
paper such as few modern newspapers
could afford and is six columns in
width. The last page, and that only, is
given up wholly to advertising.
One of the features of the Bromley
Morning .News is a column headed
"Amusements," in which (ho play is
named at each theater, with street aud
address, and a word ot comment Is
added thus:
"Hudson, Forty-fourth street, near
Broadway, 8:20; 'The Honor of the
Family,' with Otis Skinner; dashing
Balzac comedy charmingly acted."
Ills paper, Colonel Harvey maintain
ed, would not be a socialist's paper,
not a banker's paper or a lawyer's pa
per, but the paper of the average man.
"Bankers," he said, "are the most ig
noraut people on earth outside their
own department,and newspapers should
not cater to them, but show them the
extent of their own ignorance."
This was said apropos of a brief edi
torial concerning E. C. Benedict, who
uttered the sentiment that Americans
are "the smartest race of darn fools
that ever existed" because "their cur
rency system has not yet been adapted
to changed conditions."
The audience loudly applauded the
speaker, and many came to the plat
form to shako hands and to ask ques
tions. Among those who came from
New York especially to hear the lec
ture were Joseph S. Auerbach, Uobert
r. Porter, correspondent of the London
Times, and a number of others.

MAHOREY'S SISTER
VISITS DANVILLE
MioJiael M»ho?iey, who wkn found
unconscious near the stove woika Fri
day morning and was uuable later to
givo an account of himself, was remov
ed to his home near Scranton Satur
day.
Mrs. John Lynch, sister of Malioney
of Minooka, with whom the latter
board*. j»ri ived at Danville on the 9:10
D L. & W. train Saturday morning,
and accompanied by her unlucky broth
er, returned home ou (lie 2:11 D. L.
& W. train
Mrs. Lynch was met at the station
here, by Chief-cf-Police Mincemoyer
awl taken to the jail, where Maiioney
was detained in the hospital cell. The
man readily recognized his sister, but
lie had no clear conception of how he
happened to got to tlijs city.
Mrs. Lynch stated that her brother
is subject to attacks similar to the oue
sustained in Danville. The last she
saw of him was on Thursday morn ing,
when fhe took his bieakfast to his
room. Shortly afterward he disappear
ed from the house and she heard noth
ing more of him until the news arriv
ed through the police department of
Scranton that he was dead.
The latter, of course, was an exag
gerated report.but Mrs. Ljnch's mind
was not disabused until she reached
Scrantou Saturday morning. The peo
ple of Minooka, therefore,on awaiting
her return Saturday evening expected
that she wonld be accompanied witli
the dead hody of hor brother.
When Michael Malioney arrived in
Danville Thursday afternoon lie was
evidently in a dazed condition. He got
off the 4:33 D L. &W. trail). As soon
as the train pulled out he hunted up
Station Agent Eggert and complained
that he had been put off the train. To
prove that he had a right to ride he
exhibited a ticket to Johnstown. When
j the train returned the station agent
j reported the matter to the conductor,
who douied that the man had been put
[ off the car but stated that lie left the
train of his own choioe.
Dr. Stock is quite r-oufident that if
the man had not been rescued from the
creek just when he was Friday morn
ing lie would surely have perished.
For several hours after he was rescued
! lie hovered between life and death.
