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.

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."

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.

If HARTIMH'S
JOWII
F. Q. 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.

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

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.
