With ud ceremonies other than the j cheering thousands of people throng ing the water front marking the de parture the Atlautic battleship fleet under Rear Admiral Sperry promptly at 8 o'clock this morning started on its homeward journey aud sailed for Colombo, Ceylon, the first port at which the fleet will stop on the secoud half of the world encircliug voyage. Shortly before. 8 o'clock the sixteen big white and buff floating fortresses began to weigh auclior aud ou tl.e stroke of the hour the flagship Con- | necticut, moved out from the anchor age in Oavlte harbor aud headed down the bay aud a little later the fleet in double column formation, steamed down the main roadstead toward Oor rigeder Island. Floating across the water from the shore came cheer after cheer which was answered by the bluejackets oil each ship and the water front was aflutter with thousands of handker chiefs waving farewell aud godspeed to the fleet now homeward bound, un til it disappeared down the bay in a mist of rain which soon scattered the crowds that began assembling at 7 o'clock to get their last glimpse of the big ships whioh came from the other side of the globe.

The chapel exercises were couduct ed by the Rev. James Wollaston Kirk, pastor of the Mahoning Presbyterian churoh. Professor Charles A. Albert ocoupiod two periods, his topic in the forenoon being, "Learning to Read" aud in the afternoon "The First Year in Arithmetic.',' Professor Albert has lost none of his popularity with the teachers of Montour county and throughout his discourses Tuesday he was given the closest attention. Dr. Van Ormer gave two excellent talks. The first, delivered in the fore noon, was on "Heuristic Teaching,'' a method which in a general way might be said to leave pupils to dis cover or llnd out for themselves. The subject of the afternoon's address was "Pianohette." His talk in the main related to the law of suggestion aud was very scientific aud instructive. Dr Yau Ormer is a man of fine at tainments aud at least as far as relates to psychology and kindred subjects he has but few equals as an institute in structor. The music, with Borough Superiu teudeut Dieffenbacher in charge, is oue of the most successful features of the institute. Included in the special music was a piano duet by Miss Hughes anil Miss Sheppersou; also singing by the Keystone Double Male O.uartette, which rendered sev eral selections. Miss Rachel Mettler rendered a rec itation with good effect. The demonstration of practical work done in the commercial department | Tuesday eve was witnessed by a large number of our townspeople in addi tion to the teachers regularly attend ing the institute. Some sixty pupils took part in the practical work. The freshman class gave a drill in rapid calculation and penmanship. The work of the sopho more class consisted of a drill in touch typewriting by beginners, an exercise in journalizing, and also one in black board shorthand. The junior class gave a drill in transcription. While all did exceedingly well the senior class as w»s to be expected showed the greatest proficiency, the entire class writing shorthand and reading from notes. The exercises al so included touch typewriting, from copy, aud blindfold typewriting, from dictation. Au exercise in advanced bookkeeping was also given. Mrs. Mcßaney's Experience. Mrs. Mcßaney, Prentiss, Miss., writes: "I was confined to my bed for three months with kidney and bladder trouble, aud was treated by two phy sicians but failed to get relief. No human tongue cau tell how I suffered, aud I had given up hope of ever get j ting well until I began taking Foley's Kidney Remedy, After taking two bottles I felt like a new person, aud feel It my duty to tell suffering wo meu what Foley's Kidney Remedy did forme.''

Tlie new home for Odd Fellows' or phans near Suubury is now about com pleted and the children expect to cele brate Christmas in the new home. The building is arranged to accommodate 154 children and is expected to answer all demands of the Central Pennsyl vania district for years to come. The old home could only accommodate 93 children aud there are eight ou the waiting list at present so that the new home will start in with au even hun dred children. The building at present occupied will be repaired and rearranged aud turned into a home for the aged Odd Fellows and their wives aud will be under the same management as the orphans' home. This home is support ed by an association of Odd Fellows lodges throughout Penusylvauia who upon joining the association pay a per capita tax of SIOO. per member, and twenty-five cents per year thereafter. When the home for the aged Odd Fellows is established it will be sup ported by a small additional per capita assessment. A Personal Appeal.

D. 0., has adjourned. Toward the end of the meeting it adopted a resolution de manding the introduction of the par cels past on rural routes and also of its universal extension. Another re solution was adopted asking for the establishment of postal savings banks for the benefit of farmers. These are measures that iiave been recommended by Postmaster General Von Meyer aud by his predecessors for twenty years. The parcels post has long since bneu in usa in European and even in Asiatic countries. If the United States were a monarchy or an oppressed despotism wo would long since have had tho parcels post here, but being a free aud iudepeudent government of senatorial, concession al aud otlie bosses in the pay of the interests, aud having a senator from New York representing the express companies.of which he is president,on the floor of the senate, aud having a powerful express companies' lobby with its pockets bulging with ill-got ten gains ever present at the capitoi, we must be content with our vaunted superiority in name over the effete monarchies aud despotisms. The recent postoftice deficit is seven teen millions. The postoftice establish ment, spanding nearlv two hundred millions, brings the country iu debt seventeen millions a year. The establ ishment, well managed in a business like way aud doiug the profitable work that the express company filches from it, would bring the government uearly enough money to build a half dozeu dreadnoughts and would at the same time furnish ail the people of the United States with a vnstly sup erior service. With thirty thousand rural routes, nearly all of them sup plied witli a horsa aud wagon, ttie small amount of fifty-five pounds a trip would wipe out the deficit. The national grange has passed a resolu tion to oppose senators who oppose the parcels post delivery. Kennedy's Laxative Congh oyrup stops the cough aud drives the cold from the svstem.

John Hendricks, a resident of the south side, shot a deer, but none of the rest were so successful. Without exceptiou, however, they report hav ing iiad a pleasant trip and having de rived much benefit from the long out ing. Conditions in the White Deer moun tains are not favorable for much suc cess iu huntiug deer. In the first place, only male deer with horus may be shot.

"THE PROBLEH OF THE TWO N'S" Tonight holds a rare treat in store for the citizens of Danville. Dr. Van Ormer,the brilliant institute instruct or of Philadelphia, lias consented to deliver a lecture in the high school auditorium. Dr. Van Ormer after his three days' effective work at the teachers' instit ute, hardly needs an introdnotion to the citizens of Danville. Few men have ever appeared before an audienoe hero that brought a message of suoh peculiar interest—who appeals as ho does to the understanding aud the heart alike. He is truly a man of splendid attainments,of eloquence and strong personal magnetism. The genius hit displays entitles hiou to a large audience.
