Danville, Pa., Jul} 9, 1908. m ITEMS FROM 'ROUND THE STATE Allreil Baird of Newtou township, Chester couuty, was terribly gored by a viciou-s bull on Monday but was sav ed by a hired man from a horrible death. Haui and green peas gave ptomaine poisoning to Frank Pfeffer and his family of seveu children, iu Potts ville, on Monday, and all became ser iously ill. While a 5-year-old son of William Ford, of West Schuylkill, near Potts vilie. was e3ting peanuts on Monday a kernel lodged iu his windpipe and choked him to death. The Reading company's anthracite collieries will be iu operatioa three days this week with the exception of those iu western Schuylkill which will be operated five days. Michael Finnegan, of Scrauton.died on Mouday.from injuries sustained on the Fourth by the explosion of a small cannon his left arm having been torn off and both eyes blown out. School directors of the borongli in York county are demanding a higher scholastic standing of applicants for positions as principals of the schools j and in consequences there are yet a number of vacancies. A nine-months-old child of Stephen Beaziu, of Pittsburg, died on Monday morning, and physicians who attended the child say it died of nervous shock j caused by the repeated explosion of J fire crackers on the Fourth. While Henry White, was at the hot- ! torn of a deep excavation in Washing- j ton, repairing a leak in a waterpipe.ji i runaway horse fell into the ditch up- 1 on him, crushing him so severely that j he died of his injuries on Monday. Orville A. Yeahl, of Slatington, re- j ports that up to this time he has taken 135 pounds of honey from four hives i of bees this season. This is a remark- j ably good record and he expects to ! realize 400 pounds more during the ; summer. Bert Ulrner, who in May, 1907, was ! sentenced at Easton to ten years im- I prisonment in the Eastern penitentiary | for horse stealing and was lately trans- 1 ferred to the Norristowu asylum be- ! cause of insanity, has escaped from that Institution. On Monday an 8-year-old son of Mack Beatty of Daytou, Armstrong county, ran in front of his father's j mowing machine to open a gate for him, wheuithe child's foot was caught by the machine aud cut off, before the ! horses could be stopped. When Edward Weimer, of Quarry, ville, county, entered his home on Sunday night aud lighted a lamp he was confronted by a burglar who at once blew out the lamp. A desperate fight followed iii which Weimer was rendered unconscious and the burglar escaped through a window. A Hurry Job. When John Henry Barrows, organ 1 izer of the world congress of religions, held in Chicago in ISU3, was president I of Oberlin college, he was approached by nn insurance agent who wanted to j write a policy on his household goods. ' To this the man of education agreed after some talk. Next morning the ! policy was delivered and the agent's report forwarded to the company. Late in the afternoon Mrs. Barrows ! went to her room aud there saw smoke I oozing out around the closet door. She I pulled the door open and found fire i smoldering among the clothes which I draped the wall. Some valuable gar- j Uients were destroyed before the blaze was out. I)r. Barrows got the Insurance man on tile telephone and told him what j had happened. The agent went to tho house, prepared an adjustment report ! and forwarded it to the Insurance com pany not more than twenty-four hours J after the issuance of the policy. Two days later Dr. Barrows had a j telegram from the secretary of the i company, an old friend of his. our policy written morning of ednesday," it read. "Fire was at 3 o'clock Why this delay?"

It was, "Not lately!"- [Jpplncott's Magazine WATER 111 SPRINGS LEAK The water pipe belonging to the bor ough system has sprung a leak under the Mill street paving just south of the intersection of Lower Mnlberry street and up to last evening the break had not been located. Water pipes springing leak under the paving is becoming a rather serious matter and is occurring much more frequently than was figured on when the pavement was laid. To remove the grouted brick and then chisel through four or live inches of solid concrete is no easy t»9k. Worst of all is the dam age done to the paving. Before the leak is located it is generally neces sary to dig at several different spots. In relaying the brick it seems to be impossible to make a good job of it and the spots dug up remain visible for all time, disfiguring an otherwise well laid and attractive piece of pav ing. The break yesterday afternoon was no exception. By last eveuing two ex cavations had been sunk iu the paved street about thirty feet apart, almost directly iu front of Fallon's. This morning the paving will be opened at another point, probably 011 the south side of the D. L. & W. crossing. There is no sign of a leak ou the surface of the street, but the water can be heard ruuuirg into the sewer be low. One of the workmen descended into the sewer yesterday morning. He could see where the water entered,but this proved to be no criterion. It is probable that the water leaking out of the pipe, unable to work its way through the concrete, turueil its course downward flowing a great way through the bed of cinder forming the road bed before it founa an outlet in the sewer. Full of Reminiscence. At the different array stations In the west it is the practice for the officers on leaving their post for some distant station to sell off everything they uo not care to keep. In connection with tills custom in "Reminlscerces of a Sol dier's Wife" Mrs. Ellen Riddle tells art amusing story. There was a very estimable woman living at the garrison, a veritable Mrs. Malaprop. She told us of some jew elry she had lost, and among the things was a topaz chain with a beau tiful "pendulum." The lady held an auction before she left, after her husband's death, and when some silver plated knives were put up for sale she rose and in a sob bing voice said: "Oh, dear, no! I can not sell them! They have been in dear John's mouth too often!" Lasting, "Your suggestion," said a depositor to the bank receiver, "offers very cold comfort. It is a bachelor's comfort— that is to say, no comfort at all. " 'What,' said a bachelor to a Bene dict, 'only married a year and already so blue?' "'Ah, but,' groaned the Benedict, 'I never Imagined that a wife would prove so expensive.' "The bachelor putted the blue mar ried man on the back in a consolatory way. " 'Yes,' he said, 'a wife is an expen sive article, that is true. But then you must remember that she lasts a very long time.' " New Derelict Destroyer. The new derelict destroyer Seneca will fill an important function In the protection of shipping. It will be the duty of this vessel to patrol the coast to rid It of the floating dangers and to be in readiness at any moment to cruise wherever a derelict may Ijo reported, either by vessels entering port or by wireless messages. Each season there Is a list of ships missing for unknown causes, and as It Is probable that these dangerous hulks have much to do with fending sound ships to the bottom the activity of the Seneca may be expect ed to reduce this list. There will be other uses for the derelict destroyer, snch as supplying sails and provisions for vessels lu distress or taking off •rews from unseaworthy or sinking vessels, but its real value will be In ridding the sea of one of its greatest rlangera. Not Curious. A certain employer of labor had re ceived many complaints from his fore 'nan as to one of the hands, who, though an excellent workman and one whom it were undesirable to dismiss altogether, could never bo induced to arrive at the proper time in the morn ing. So the employer, determining to ex postulate with the offender personally, arrived early one morning and laid in wait for him. indue time the dilatory one strolled in and was accosted wrathfully: "Do you know what time we begin work here iu the morning?" "No, sir," was the calm reply. "I know they're always at it when I get here."—Loudon Telegraph.

A STORY CF NELSON. The Presence of Mind of the Great tnglish Admiral. Captain Mahan relates the following anecdote concerning Lord Nelson's let ter proposing a truce to the crown 1 prince of Denmark, dispatched in the midst of hostilities: The decks being cleared of all parti tions fore and aft and all ordinary con i veniences removed, Nelson wrote in full view of all on the deck where he ! was, at the casing of the rudder head, , standing, and as he wrote an officer standing by took a copy. The original, in his own hand, was put into an en velope and sealed, with his arms. The officer was about to use a wafer, but Nelsou said: "No; send for sealing wax and can dle." ! Some delay followed owing to the man's having had his head taken off by a ball. "Send another messenger for the wax." said the admiral when informed of this, and when the wafers were again "igcested he simply reiter ated the order. A large quantity of wax was used and extreme care taken that the im pression of the seal should be perfect. Colonel Stewart asked: "Why under so hot a fire and after so lamentable an accident have you at tached so much importance to a cir cumstance apparently trifling?" "Had I made use of a wafer," re plied Nelson, "the wafer would have been still wet when the letter was presented to the crown prince. He would have inferred that the letter was sent off iu a hurry and that we had some pressing reasons for being in a hurry. The wax told no tales." WHEN LINCOLN DANCED. Veteran Official's Reminiscence* of the President's Attempt In Ohio. "I shall never forget the only time Abraham I.lncoln danced in Ohio," said Colonel Isaac H. Marrow of To ledo, Chinese inspector In Ohio, the other day. Then he launched into remi niscences Of President Lincoln. "I was commander of Governor Den nlson's guards" (Marrow is eighty three now and has served the govern ment since the early forties). "We ar ranged a ball for Lincoln, then just elected and going to Washington. When he came in, he said to me: 'l've never danced. I don't know how. Rut I will lead the march if your wife will load with me.' She did. She came be low his shouhler. They circled fifteen times, and It was a sight that set the crowd laughing." Marrow was Lincoln's aid in the White House for seven months. Joke on a Presidential Possibility. Congressman J. Sloat Fassett of New York, who attended the Lincoln day banquet in Pittsburg, sprang a joke on the newspaper men the other after noon. In spite of the fact that it had whiskers, it made a hit. Fassett In discussing presidential possibilities clared that the people of New York want Charles Evans Hughes for pres ident. "Rut what if Hughes cannot get the nomination?" he was asked. "Well, that's another question," he answered. "It reminds me of Lord Dundreary's story, lie asked a wom an if her brother Charlie liked cheese, and she replied that she had 110 broth er Charlie. " 'Well,' said Lord Dundreary, 'if you : had a brother Charlie, do you think 110 \ would like cheese?' So that is the | best answer 1 can give to your ques- j tlon about Hughes." Doing Very 'Veil. "How's your son making out in busl- j ness?" asked the first capitalist. "Very well Indeed," replied the other; "he's got a quarter of a million." "Why, you started him with a mil lion, didn't you?" "Yes, and it's two months now since he started operations in Wall street."— New Use For Melons.

ISI HILL STREET CULVERT The canal culvert on Mill street, which lias snuk below the proper grade, is being raised at present. The spot will present a bnsy scene today, as work will proceed along several different lines, each being in separate hands. The sinking of the roadbed at that point followed as the natural and un avoidable sequence of filling up the culvert when the latter was construct ed, with soft earth,the only kind avail able at that time. Along with the driveway the concrete sidewalk on the west side of the street sank below grade and during the winter was very dangerous. The drop in the earth caus ed the pipes connected with the public fountain, which are planted in the I street, to bend or break, so that the fountain has been out of commission | since last fall. In addition, the broad I hollow in the street over the culvert | detracted much from appearances. Al i together the work just begun is a much I needed improvement. | Yesterday afternoon the D L. &W. railroad company put a force of men at work tearing up the concrete side walk preparatory to laying a new one, which will have the merit of being level. The street commissioner was al so on hand with his'gang of laborers and began to tear r.p the paving pre ! paratory to filling up the roadbed, j Today Borough Surveyor G. F. Keef er will come up from Sunbury to give the proper grade. The Danville and Blooinsburg Street Railway company will also be on hand with a force of men to raise the trolley track. While work is proceeding along the three above lines the plumbers will have the fountain in charge,repairing the same while the street is torn up and the pipes are exposed. A FRONTIER MARKSMAN. i Wild Bill Hickok's Skill In Use of th« Six Shooter. Wild Bill Iliekok was the first fron tiersman who recognized the impor tance of proficiency in the use of the sis shooter. This was the real secret of his supremacy. lie was an unerring marksman and shot as accurately un der fire as when firing at a mark, ap parently taking no aim. Probably no man bis ever equaled him In the lightning-like rapidity with which ho could draw a weapon in time of emergency and in the thorough se'f possession that made it possible for him to take advantage of every oppor tunity In savage conflict. lie had a standing order to his deputies that they should not rush in on him in any of his affrays and especially should not come quickly up in the rear. By forgetting this a man named Wil liams met his death at Abilene, Illckok taking him for an enemy and firing so rapidly that It left no opportunity for recognition. Tie readily killed a wild goose across the Smoky -f I 111 with his revolver. Hiding at his horse's highest speed, be tired shot after shot Into a tin can or a post a few rods distant. Standing at one telegraph pole, he would swing rapidly on his heel and fire a pistol Kill Into the next telegraph pole. These were some of the simpler feats he performed day after day on the street to settle little wagers. lie could shoot a hole through a silver dime at fifty paces and could drive the cork through the neck of a bottle at thirty paces ami knock out the bottom without breaking the neck. lie could do what the fuuey shots of the present day do, and possibly some of them equal him aa marksman with a re volver, but it must be remembered that he was the first to acquire the skill, and the so called crack shots of Ills \ day were poor imitations at best, al though most of them boasted of their fame. lie shot just as well with others shooting at him and at a man as stead ily as at any other target. There were certain traits of his character, however, that were almost womanly, lie was fond of children, and they liked him. He declined to quarrel with the peace ful settlers of the community, the busi ness men, on any provocation. There was no foolhardy bravado about him —Denver Field and Farm. A Great Lawysr's P/lethod. Writing of "Civilian Leaders of the Confederacy" in the Louisville Courier- Journal, John Goode says of Judah I*. Benjamin: "The first time 1 met him we dis cussed the practice ot' law, and In the course of the conversation he asked me what we considered a good fee in my part of the country, to which I replied that we considered SSOO a very respect able fee He smiled and said: "When I practiced law in New Orleans if a man employed me I charged him a re tainer. If he came about the oilice much I charged him a reminder, when I had done some work In the case I charged him a refresher, and when it was all over I charged him a finisher." Test For Hydrochloric Acid. A curious mishap gave us a very del icate test for hydrochloric acid in the atmosphere. In a north of England locality many houses have curtains of the cream color produced by metaull yellow, popularly known as "dolly" cream dye and to science as "the so dium salt of meta-amido-benzinc sul- j phonic acid-azo-dlphenyl-atnlne." Some of these cream colored curtains sud denly changed to heliotrope. Investi- 1 gallon showed that an accidental es cape of hydrochloric acid from a neigh boring alkali plant had discolored the curtains, and the dye became a most useful test.

Pa.. j u | y Discouraged because the sportsmen' of the State are doing nothing to en courage his efforts for the propagation of game birds here, Secretary Joseph Kalbfus, of the State Game Commis sion, tells in a letter to F. C. Mosier, of Pittston, just what he had to con tend with. Mosier sent him a clipping and a postal, urging the stocking of the woods with game birds. Iu reply, Secretary Kalbfus says : "Last year, through the help of the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's As sociation, I attempted to have passed a law taxing resident gunners, the purpose being to rise a fund through which we could raise and buy game of different varieties for distribution throughout the State. I was at once jumped on by many men iu the state, who ought to have seen the matter as I saw it, men who would have been benefited by such a procedure. I was called a grafter. The entire scheme to my J esire to steal. The scheme was pronounced not feasi ble, and the Legislature so influenced that the bill did not even get out of committee. I must say that lam heart ily discouraged in this direction. I feel that such a procedure should be secureil in some way in Pennsylvania. If the sportsmen are uot interested enough to pay a dollar tor the right to use a gun in this State, I am afraid it will never be accomplished. Iu ad dition to this resident license,|l asked the last Legislature for SIO,OOO for the purpose of propagating and buying game for distribution. "Mr. Sheatz, now state treasurer, and then chairman of the appropria tions committee of the House of Rep resentatives, was interested in the passage of the residentj'hunter'g li cense bill. He thought it a'good idea, and upon one occasion asked me what had become of this bill. I told him that it was in the committee,and that I was unable to have it brought out. 'Well, doctor, 1 he said, 'if the sports men of this State, the men who hunt, are too penurious and close-fisted to be willing to pay $1 each for the pur pose of restocking the State with game, do you think it would be right for me, as chairman of the appropria tions committee,tojpermit the passage of a bill taking 112 10,000 out of the gen eral fund of the State for that pur pose? If you do, you are[mistakeu. I wish to say to yoa that while I am in terested in the subject of game protec tion, I cannot conscientiously recom mend a bill of that kind under the/cir cumstances. ' ' "Here you have the entire matten'in a limited scope. I h>»ve done »i(u am still willing to do everything I can. Without the help of the men in the State.who are and who'ought to be in terested, I am absolutely helpless. "I feel that if of the state will take this matter up and agitate it,if the men who are Interest ed in increasing our game will discuss the matter with their members of the Legislature in every conntv.a measure of this kind can be passed by the Leg islature, and will niako game in this State as plentiful as it is in other states. With improved methods of kill ing game, something outside of the special increase must be adopted if wc hope to have game in any quantities. I thank you for the interest you have taken in this matter." STREET SERVICES BY ENDEAVORERS READING, July S.
