SERIONIO CUSS OF 1 The baccalaureate sermon was de livered to the graduating class of the high school by the Rev. W. C. McCor mack, D. D., at the Grove Presbyter ian church Sunday evening. Along with the class of 'OB, the ; school board of Danville attended the | services iu a body. | Following in part is the baecalaura ete sermou, which proved to be one of Dr. McCormack's most able efforts. The theme of the discourse was,' The ! Race of Life." The text was taken from Corinthians. 24th to 27th verses: "Know ye not ttiat they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the | prize? So run that ye may obtain, etc." After graphically portraying the famous Isthmian games to which the above passages of scripture refer, Dr. MoCormack asked : "Now what was it | that Paul saw admirable iu such a spectacle? The racial instincts of the Jew were entirely hostile to ahletic ism: but Paul was more than a Jew lie was a wise and traveled citizen of j the world. He knew that the great Pagau nations set the highest value ou athleticism, because the culture of the body was with them almost a religion. And in a sense it was a religion, for while sensualism and luxury worked physical depravation among the plea sure-loving people, the athletic stood for the sobriety,the self-control, which makes for the noblest manhood. It was not an easy life those men lived. By the very nature of their avocation they were vowed to a bard and constaut discipline of the senses and the passions. "Look then at the life of the auci eut athlete and you will see that it is marked by three elements, the first of which is "discipline." The earliest lessou that the would-be athlete learus is the application of science to physi cal development, aud science is a hard master. Food, sleep, exercise,all come under the strictest regulation. An iron yoke of obedience is laid upon the body. " Another element is the "persist ence" of his energy. The athlete shared in the admiration of human energy. The life he chose was a life of deliberate effort. "Aud naturally the third element in such a life was "ambition." The athlete knew well that all who ran in the race could not attain, but he was determined that the one who failed should not be he. The thirst for dis tinction moved him like a passion. He saw himself at the goal amid the thuudeis of the amphitheatre. He was not born to sink in the common drift of incompetence. "Iu such a life as this the chief thing to notice is that its motives are really "moral motives." It is of no consequence to say that all the hard ships and discipline of such a life were endured for a corrputible crown. Nor does It at all lessen the dignity of the spectacle to say that all this discipline was undertaken for a little passing fame. It may have beeu a passing fame, but it was a real fame. Dwelling upon Pau''B interpreta tion the speaker deduced many useful lessons from the text. "Paul puts the case upon far higher grounds. You are to bring the body into subjection, not for the body's sake alone, but for the spirit's sake. You are to be mast ers of the body and not the slave. The athlete did this for the body's sake, will yon not do it for the soul's sake? So rna that you may obtain. The words mean that yon are not to be content with second-rate virtues— that yon are to be filled with a divine dis content in measuring yourself—that you are to covet the highest prize. And, if at anv time, pride rules your will; if you suppose the battle won and farther strife unnecessary, if you arc tempted to relax your hold over yourself: to coquet with indulgences, to make tilings easier for yourself, then in such an hour may the voice of Paul reach you. may his confession strike like a warning bell across your heart: 'I Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, keep my body in sub jection, lest when I have preached to others I myself should be a cast- J away.'

DANVILLE, PA., THURSDAY. JUNE 4, 1908 lIOSI DAY JOB ! The program for Memorial day was very successfully carried out. The slight raiu which fell about 10 a. m. j interfered somewhat with the cere monies on the south side. A very fine ; address, however, was delivered there by the Rev. John Sherman and the day on the whole was most fittingly observed. During the afternoon the sky re mained cloudy, but there was an ab sence of raiu and the weather ou the whole proved agreeable. Under the auspices of Goodrich post, No. 22, G. A. R, the graves were decorated dur ing the early morning, there being an abundance of flowers for this purpose. At 2 o'clock the parade moved to the cemetery. The P O. S. of A.,with its drum crops, led the procession. Next came the firing squad composed of John Patton, Charles Gardner, Wil liam Wertman, Edward Aten, Jesse Weaver and George Mottern. These iu turn were followed by the Sons of Veterans. The veterans of the civil war brought up the rear, marching as far as the corner of Mill and Lower Mulberry streets, where they took the trolley cars. At the cemetery the patriotic ad dress of the Rev. John Conley Grimes proved an inspiring feature. At the conclusion the tiring squad fired three volleys, which were followed by taps, the singal for retiring, which were souuded by Bradley McLain. Return ing to town the ceremony of strewing flowers on the river iu memory of the soldiers and marines took place in the presence of a large concourse of peo ple. The memorial address by the Rev. John Conley Grimes, abounded in beautiful gems of thought, reflecting the speaker's patriotism and his re verence for the memory of those who died that the uniou might live. Fol lowing are some excerpts : Time in his rapid flight has borne us on till we are nearly 43 years from the close of the great civil war. The asperities aud alienations engendered by the great struggle between freedom aud slavery have largely passed away and those who participated as soldiers on both sides who are still living frat ernize with each other as soldiers and fellow citizens. Soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic, what shall a irrateful people render you in return for your price less services. I have very little, if any, patience with a pension hater. Palsied, palsied be the tongue that would ever in referring to the pension roll call it"the pauper's list." I have heard such treason such disreputable aud anarchistic utterances All honor the heroic dead ! Let flowers the most beautiful and fragrant be wreathed iu to garlands of beauty and showered ou their graves. "Boys iu Blue," you builded better than you knew. To save the Uniou you battled. What yon did was to make possible for yonr country a de stiny with which none of the empires of the past can be compared. And not the least among the results brought about by the war in which you fought has been the decoration of American citizenship with a new and sublime meaning CLEANING ROADWAY OF RIVER BRIDGE The county commissioners are hav ing the roadway of the river bridge cleaned off. Charles Mottern has been employed with horse and cart for a couple of days past scraping and sweep ing the paving and hauling away the accumulation. This is a very important work,which had been postpone.l quite too long, as the bridge 'joder the deep coat of dust was beginning to present a forbidding and neglected appearance. The clean ing up makrs a decided improvement on the roadway, which no one will fail to observe. Girls as Pallbearers. The fnneral of Isabelle Cromis, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. \V. Cromis, was held yesterday after noon at 3 o'clock from the Lutheran church, Rev. Roth, of Turbotville,con ducting the services and preaching the sermon.

Tiie following young ladies acted as pallbearers : Misses Ada Seidel,Helen Robinson, Irma Dieffen bacher and Blanche Watts. The First Picnic. The stove mounters' picnic, which opened the season at DeWitt's park on Saturday, was very well attended and proved to be an all-around success. The hacks were kept quite busy dur ing the afternoon and evening carry ing people backward and forward. Injured Knee Cap. Rev. L. Dow Ott, pastor of the Tri nity M. E. church, who last week in jured his knee cap in a fall, is im proving and is able to be about again. A Till! SPECTACLE A bad accident took plaoe on Mill street Saturday afternoon. A large hack driven by Neal Moyer and a young man named James Shultz collid ed with a large brewery wagon in front of D. B. Heddens' restaurant. The horses were boyond control aud as the hack struck the heavy wagon the former seemed to fly up in the air and then to fall over on its side. At tho moment, of the collision Mr. Shultz was hurled out in front upon the horses. He was agile enough, however, to regain his feet. At the same rnomeut he pluckily made a dash for the near horse's head. The run away animals by this time in a frenzy, dragged the overturned hack up the street. As a thriller the spectacle was never surpassed. Slightly restrained by Mr. Shultz, who was frequently borne off his feet, the horses swung round and round in a circle, dragging the over turned hack, in which Neal Moyer was imprisoned, after them. At Schoch's store the team was stopped. Mr. Moyer crawled out of the mass of wreckage only slightly in jured. The hack was uot greatly damaged considering the nature of the accident. Before it had reached Heddens' res taurant the hack collided with a buggy belonging to Hiram Beyer aud tore off one of the wheels. DEATH OF HRS. MARY E. MENRY Mrs. Mary E.

Sebastian Guyla and Mrs. Anna Lares, a married woman whose hus band had deserted her, entered into a death pact yesterday. They made preparations for the tragedy, being dressed in holiday at tire,and wearing buttonhole bouquets. Both left letters saying they loved each other, but owing to the that the husband of the woman was still alive they realized they could not get mar ried, and they concluded to give up life. The man shot the woman first and then turned the revolver on him self. One never realizes the actual value of friendship until it is needed. ESTABLISHED IN 1855 DISPOSAL OF HOSPITAL SEWAGE While the subject of river pollution is being vigorously agitated by the State department of health the ques tion that occurs to many people is how long it will be before the hospital for the insane—a State institution— will be obliged to permanently divert its sewage frotn the river. It is recalled that the last legislat ure made an appropriation of 318000 for the purpose of providing additional means for the dipsosal of sewage, the system and plan to be approved by the State board of health. Much over a year lias expired and nothing has as yet been done to provide the "addi tional means," wliich.it is understood is to "dispose" of thejsewage on the hospital grounds in some effective way that will obviate river pollution. An effort was made yesterday to learn something concerning the exact status of the sewage proposition at the hospital. It was learned that the plans ana specifications are still in the hands of the sanitary engineer—that they are not yet perfected but that there are prospects that they will be deliv ered to the hospital trustees in a short time. When Dr. Dixon took up the matter with the hospital trustees about a year ago it was arranged that the latter should employ a sanitary engineer of high standing, who in the solution of the problem should work in conjunc tion with the State department of health. The engineer appointed re sides in Philadelphia. His plans are very eagerly awaited, as they are ex pected to embody some high ly approved method of disposing of sewage. Whatever the plans may be like, under the circumstances, they will be sure to have the approval of Dr. Dixon. How they may be regard ed by the trustees is not known, but they most likely will be approved without delay, after which work will begin on the new system. .Tust how the plans and specifications may affect the old canal is not clear, but a few persons have not abandoned hope that it may in some way be utilized, which would of course ituply that trie canal would cease to bo the nuisance that it is at present. THE STATE CROP REPORT HARRISBURG, June 3.

Hail was reported from all parts of the State, and in a few instances it was heavy enough to do considerable damage. The soil contains ample moisture in all sections About the normal amount of sunshine was exper ienced. MUST ERECT ROAD SIGNS NORRISTOWN. June 3. Because so many persons touring Montgomery county have been lost in the maze of roadways Judge Aarou S. Swartz assembled the constables of the county yesterday and informed them that it was their duty to see that the road supervisors erect fingerboards at the intersections of public roads. Tho court said : This law, although seventy-two years old this month, is really more needed today than when it was pass ed. In those days travel was slow and almost everybody knew the roads. Methods of travel have now become speedier aud the people want more un erring way of receiving information than depending upon the variable views of persons encountered upon the highways. The law prescribes a fine of -•*10 for every case of neglect on tiie part of the supervisors. On Sunday afternoon Rev. W. P. Sachs, pastor of St. Andrew's Luther an church, Pittsburg, got a number of small street gamins into the Sunday school room of his church to speak to them. Ho mingled among them aud after they left he missed his watch. He reported his loss to the police and on Monday George Martin was arrest ed aud he confessed that he had stol en it. The watch was recovered and the lad was left go as the minister did not want to prosecute him. Born, a Daughter. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shepperson, Riverside, Mon day night.
