ARTILLERYMAN'S HONORABLE DISCHARGE A pleasing incident in couuectiou witii the recent visit of the soldiers to our city was the honorable discharge of one of their number, James E. Sinetlzer, which occurred on Monday evening. The young man is about 26 years of age and eulisted in Battery D, 3rd Battalion, Field Artillery, on July 20th, l;H .j. Although lie was assigned to Fort Meyer, Virginia, he has really been there but one and oue half years of his enlistment, the remaining time being spent as follows: Chickamauga Park, Georgia, 8 mouths; Jamestown Exposition, SI months ; Pine Camp, N. Y., one month. From the latter place the battery came to Danville, where he was discharged. Monday night, Mr. Smeltzer was tendered what might be called a "fare well party" at the camp ground, his comrades in the jolly, big-hearted manner of the American soldier, join ing in giving him godspeed and wish ing him success in his resumption of the pursuits of civil life. Mr. Smeltzer spoke very highly of the ways of the service, claiming that while it is seemingly a rough life, its bright side more than counterbalances the shadows. The fact that the soldier in Uncle Sam's Army is something more than an ordinary citizen, that he is sworn as a protector of the great est country on earth and surrounded at all times by the symbols cf patriot ism is in itself a sufficient reward for the somewhat arduous duties of the soldier. Mr. Smeltzer left on the il o'clock Pennsylvania train for Washington, D. C., where he will receive his final discharge. He will then proceed to his home in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he will resume his former trade, that of a glazier. TOO OF THE MINGS. It Is a Risky Place For a Traveler to Visit Alone. Every traveler in China goes to the tomb of the Mings if he stays more than a few days in Shanghai. The Chinese consider the Mings the great est rulers of the ancient kingdom, and they rank second only to Confucius. The tomb Is composed of two colossal figures facing each other and elabo rately carved In the style affected by Chinese artists centuries ago. Seen in Central park or Versailles they would look grotesque enough, but standing as they do among bleak and lonely hills, outlined against the clear blue oriental sky. they have a rude grandeur and Imposing simplicity which make them seem fit guardiaue of Imperial dust. It Is not an easy Journey the tourist must take If he wishes to pay his re spects to the stone giants, nor Is It a trip advisable for a woman to under take, as It lies through a region where hatred of the "white devils" is consid ered as much a part of the Chinaman's religion as the worship of his ances-1 tors. A donkey and a guide are neces sary, and It is also wise to get a party of sightseers together for the excur sion if possible and togo well armed, • for once a foolhardy traveler started forth alone from the hotel on the Bub bling Well road, Shanghai, to visit the tomb of the Mings, and he was never heard of again. There are many places in the purlieus of Shanghai even where It is Imprudent for a white man to ven ture alone in broad daylight. An ex tra donkey is also needed to carry pro- J visions as well as the cameras, for most tourists want a picture of the towering images which have so sue- t cessfully withstood the wear of the centuries.—New York Press. : lIIMIIII I I PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD Atlantic City CAPE MAY Anglesea Wildwood Holly Beach Ocean City Sea Isle City Avalon New Jersey THURSDAYS, July 30, August 13 and 27 TICKETS GOOD FOR TEN" DAYS SUNDAYS, August 2, 16 and 30 TICKETS GOOD F< >R FIVE DAYS $4.75 Round Trip. $4.50 Round Trip I Yi» De'aware River Bridge Via Market Street Wharf FROM SOUTH DANVILLE.

BOYD Passenger Traffic Manager General Passenger Agent MACADAMIZED STREET INSPECTED Borough Surveyor G. F. Keefer Tuesday afternoon inspected the new macadam on Cherry street and pro nounced it a satisfactory piece of work. The street has .been wholly recon structed from Bloom street to Center street. The work, which was done by the boiougti under the supervision of Srreet Commissioner E. S Miller, was begun about a month ago and was com pleted yesterday afternoon. The improvement is quite apparent to the eye, the street in appearance ' uow being second to none in town. The present are the tirst repairs of any importance that have been put on Cherry street during the history of the town. The road bed, before recon struction, was composed of clay,which during the winter and spring was apt to become soft and miry and almost impassable. To produce practically a new roadbed the street commissioner caused the street to be excavated down to rattier more than the usual depth, after which a course of cinder in large chunks was tilled in followed by an other course of finer cinder, which was followed in turn by two courses of crushed limestone, such as are used in macadamized roads. At many places the macadam is twenty-two inches in thickness. The borough surveyor pronounces the macadam a fine piece of work, al though still better results might have been attained had the street commis sioner been furnished a steam roller, which is generally considered indis pensable in such work. The action of the roller, together with the sprink ling that goes with it, would have i given the roadbed a degree of com pactness and solidity which in the present case does not exist. However, as the traffic is not heavy op Cherry street the road bed as reconstructed will no doubt resist all the wear auu tear to which it is exposed during tin next generation. TENT FOR A HONEYMOON. Couple, Meeting Under Canvas, to Make Novel Tour After Wedding. A special "honeymoon tent," which when rolled up and packed weighs Just five pounds, was exhibited at the annual "campfiro" of the Cycle Camp ers' association In London. Within a short time two prominent members of the association will start from London to spend their wedding tour beneath the canvas roof of the honeymoon tent Their kit all told will weigh about thirty pounds. The couple met at a big cycle camp. Their mutual keenness for camp life was the first bond between them. Aft- ! erward love came to complete this campers' idyll, and, as they met first j under canvas, they have decided to start their wedded life in a cycle campers' tent. "I made this tent especially for the honeymoon," said the bridegroom elect. "It Is larger than the ordinary gypsy tent. In May next we shall be mar ried. The tent and kit will be packed behind our cycles, and directly after the ceremony we shall start off a-wheel. Xo railway Journey with reserved com partment and a smiling guard for us! "We have chosen the New forest for , our honeymoon land. I kuow many de- ! lightful glades where we can pitch our 'honeymoon hotel' for the night. We j shall, of course, do all our own cook- | ing. My fiaucee Is just as delighted i with the idea as I am, and we are en- | thusiastic over this new plan for a ! wedding trip." HE 10 OB OF DOGS ' Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

THE HAT HABIT. ; A Custom That U Neither Becoming Nor Health Giving. I Why do both men and women persist I In wearing hats? asks Pearson's Maga- I rine. There nre three reasons why we I ;l!ould wear clothes. We may wear then for the sake of decency, for the sake of warmth and for the sake of dis play. None of these reasons applies to the wearing of hats. Of course there are bead coverings that are warm, such as the Icelander's sealskin hood and the fisherman's toque; but, as a rule, there Is no real warmth In the bat of either sex. When a woman pins a slight structure of straw and artificial flowers on the top of her hair she nev er for an instant imagines that the thing will keep her from taking cold. The masculine top hat Is certainly warm on a hot day, but it is very far from warm In cold weather. Neither are hats worn for the pur pose of display. Doubtless there are times when women make the hat the occasion of displaying their fondness for dead birds, muslin flowers and otb er lieautiful objects, hut this is only when fashion has decreed that big hats shall be worn. At other times the fe male hat Is so microscopically small that it could not be successfully used for displaying anything. As for men's hats, they never display anything ex cept the atrocious taste which makes them fashionable. Why, then, in the name of all that is sensible, do men nnd women wear hats? As a rule, every man and every wo man looks better without a hat than | with one. This is why we all take off j our hats at the opera or at an evening party, and yet we cling to a custom that has not a word to be said in its lie half. We persist in wearing the ugly, useless and injurious hat. Why do we do It? I should like to find a good Irish echo that would answer the question at length and in a satisfactory way. The Opals. The opal used in jewelry is distin guished from other varieties of less value by calling it precious or noble opal. Opals differ very greatly in their color effects, and these are known as the pattern of the gem. The shape and size of the Hashes of color vary from very small, when the stone is called pin's point opal, to larger, squar ish spangles, when it is a harlequin opal.—New York Sun. .

Hartman contemplates making some fine improvements in the vicin ity of his silk millß on Water street. The most striking will be a handsome concrete pavement, seven hundred feet long, covering the frontage of all the properties owned by the silk Mill com pauy and F. Q. Hartman. The city engineer furnished the curb line on Monday and work on the pavement will begin in a very short time. As a companion improvement to the concrete sidewalk Mr. Hartman is tilling up the river bank, riprapping J the same, giving it an even and level I appearance. This is a work that Mr. Hartman has had on foot ever since he began the operation of his mills. Of the seven hundred feet of river: bank owned by him fully two thirds lias been filled up and riprapped. Tiie j material used consists not only of the cinder that accumulates at Mr. Hart-. man's own plant but of the cinder purchased at other industrial plants, as well as of earth obtained through the excavation for cellars and by other I means. In the course of a year lie will have carried the grading and riprap ping very nearly as tar as his land ex tends. When Mr. Hartman finishes the im-1 provement on his own lanrl he intends ! to make a proposition to the borough, ! which will reveal alike his civic ; pride and his extreme liberality. j With a view of making the entire; bank uniform and symmetrical and ; imparting to the river fronts clean j and park-like appearance lie will ask council to permit him to extend the improvement down along Water street i as far as practicable. He will fill up the river bank, i iprap it and expend the same amount of time and money upon it that he did ou his own prop- j erty and all without any expense to j the borough. Thus not only may an unsightly spot be made clean and pre sentable and the bank be protected from the inroads of the river but the borough has an opportunity to seenre | these benefits without the expenditure of a cent of public money or by jeop ardizing its title to the land. It is a great uudertaKing, it is trne, but judging by what Mr. Hartman has already accomplished there is nothing in the magnitude of the task that need appall any one. It is learned from an authentic source that Mr. Hartman has already used 26,000 loads of material in his systematic improvement of the river bank. Incidentally, tne bulk of this has been purciiased at so much per load, so that some idea of the cost en- j tailed may be obtained. Unless Council withholds permis sionn in a few years Mr. Hartman will have the river front improved all the way from his property 'to the j bridge and that part of town which , now has few attractions will be the most popular and inviting. The wide area between the street and the river bank affords abundant space for' flower beds and other decorations, while tiie wide river and the land- j scape beyond are ever present charms ! that will assist in attracting people to the spot. The Scarcity of Statues to Ministers. Considering how great a part the! ministers of all our denominations have played iu the uationai life for at least ten centuries it is simply astounding to j find how few are the statues that have been raised to them in public places j during the past SUO years or so. While j famous men in other ranks of life have! had statues galore erected to their memories iu nearly every town in the kingdom, there are today scarcely a score statues all told of ministers, and in nearly each case such statues have been put up within the last twenty years.—London Strand. PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD BULLETIN TOUR TO YELLOWSTONE PARK AND THE CANADIAN ROCKIES. In northwestern Wyoming in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, lies one of nature's richest treasures—the Yellow stone National Park. Set apart by Act of Congress for the enjoyment of mankind, it is America's greatest show ground. To visit this Park is to see nature in a variety of majestic moods. Mammoth hot springs, with multicolored terraces, cliffs of glass, beautiful lakes, mighty falls, glorious canyons, and geysers of all descriptions, are found in this wonderful region. On August 21 a personally-conducted tour through the Yellowstone Park to Portland and Seattle, returning through the magnificient Canadian Rocky Mountains, will leave the East by special train over the Pennsylvania Railroad. Five and one-half days will be spent in the Park, one day in Port land, one day in Vancouver, one day at Field, 13. C., one day at Laggan, Alba., one day at Banff, and stops will be made at many other points of interest. The tour will cover a period of twenty-two days. As an educational trip for either teacher or scholar, this tour is especially attractive, as it covers a section of America rich in scenery and replete with the marvelous manifestations of nature. The rates, which will cover all necessary expenses, will be S—4«> from New York, *?240.20 from Philadelphia,s24l.2o from Washington and Baltimore, $2;i0.80 from Pittsburgh, and pro portionate from other points.

ENGINE « OVERTINED Crashing into a landslide brought down from the steep hill bordering the North Bronch'of the Susquehanna riv er by the heavy rain on Tuesday night a freight train"was wrecked on the Suubnry division of the Pennsylvania railroad near Wolverton and the eng- { ineer aud firemanjiadfa thrilling and miraculous escape and J | possibly death. I The train known as second 97, with I [engine 1611, had|left Sooth Danville, ' | and was running towards Sunbnry at j about 15 miles per hour at i) 50 o'clock a mile this side of Wolverton. The night was dark as pitch, and the rain falling in a furious downpour made it impossible to see a dozen feet ahead. J Suddenly the engine struck a huge mass of fifteen tons of rock and dirt. It ploughed throngh, carrying the | tender and four cars with it, the mo ! men torn of the train pushing the dirt j aside. Toppling over the engine fell on its right side. Fortunately the j couplings held and the'ears were thus : prevented from piling on top of the i engine. In the engine was the engine er, Lincoln Campbell, of Sunbury. On the tank was fireman C. O. Levan. As | lie felt the crash lie jumped into the | cab and held fast as the engine upset, j The accident happened too suddenly |to give them time to jump and they j had to take chances by remaining in side. When the train came to a stop j they crawled out absolutely unhurt, i They had passed through a thrilling ordeal without a scratch. The wreck crew was called and work ed all night raising the engine and 1 clearing away the debris. The track was cleared for traffic by yesterday morning. | Passenger train 67 on the Sunbury | division.due at South Danville at 7 :51 j passed Wolverton two hours before. The slide came down between that time aud the arrival of the freight | train, possibly very shortly after the passenger had passed. Had it struck j the obstruction a terrible fatality I would have been inevitable. I This is the second accident of a ser- I ious nature that engine 1611 has been | throngh in the past few months. The ' first was a similar one and occurred on the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad in the early spring. On that unfortun ate occasion it fell into the creek bordering the tracks and Engineer Harry E. Graeft.of Sunbury, was pin ned beneath the debris. The waters rose and covered him and be was drowned. Concrete Belt Armor. The use of re-enforced concrete ar mor on warships has recently been suggested. An Italian engineer, Lo i renzo d'Adda. has been led by tire suc cess of concrete land fortifications, as ! revealed in the Russo-Japanese war, to construct armor plates of re-enforced concrete covered with thin plates of steel as a protection against the im mediate effects of the impact of shells, says the Scientific American. Con j crete armor plates, even when re-en ! forced by stout and closely Inlaid Iron bars, must obviously be much thicket than hardened steel armor, but as the specific gravity of tho material is only | one-third that of steel the weight of j the armor need not be increased, while | Its cost may be very greatly diminish ed. The substitution of re-enforced concrete for steel armor on a first class battleship would effect a considerable saving. The practicability of tho sub stitution will be decided by the re sult of experiments soon to be made on the effect of shots on the re-enforced concrete nlates. Fund to Honor Zola. The French chamber has voted a credit of $7,000 for the expenses of transporting Zola's body to the Pan theon in Juno. THE OPEN SEASON JOR OUTINGS Tlie season of outings is here,and if he'has not done so, the head of the fatni ly should plan little trips for the mem bers of his household. Wo have a beautiful conutry inviting communion with nature, aud uiauy nearby places suggest trips of a day, an afternoon, or a picnic with supper in the late aft ernoon. It is wise to cut off some unnecessary part of the day's routine and go forth to seek new forces by contact with the ground in the open season. The body has been housed too closely for months. It should be given exercise in the open. If you can take a week, or month off, or have a cottage or board in the country,or other change in sur roundings, so much the better,but get out all you can anyhow, and give the members of your family the same op portunities aud chance of recreation and pleasure, which makes for health and longer life. The man who walks with his eyes open will learn much that is strange to him, perhaps reviving latent mem ories of boyhood and filling life afresh with the delicious elements that made the younger days so rarely vitalizing. The brain, cramppd by application to figures and facts of business, to the taxing responsibilities of the workaday affairs,must have refreshment by thus receiving the simple impressions of the calmness of the life beyond the city. The family man owes a duty tooth ers than himself to seek with them new fields occasionally. Such outings will furnish materials for pleasant talk for days afterwards. And it should never be forgotten that this world of business and duty>nd*work aud mon ey-getting ueeds[occasional jolts out of the trodden round of ideas. A din ner table chat about;, the birds and flowers that were seen on the last tramp or picnic, orjthe quaint char acters encountered will be more whole j some than discussions upon political topics, or the latest criminal gensea tion, or even the;base|ball situation. Get out of bounds. The cost is slight. Don't forget how to walk, for walk ing is one of the most healthful of ex ercises, and remember your eyes were made to see. More thanjhalf of the people, if not three fourths (are blind to the beautiful and interesting in na ture, unless it is something extraordi nary and as large as a house or a mountain.
