BASKET BALL Oue of the most interesting athletio events ever held in this section took place at Sunbury Friday evening, when two games of basket ball were played by teams composed of youug ladies, who represented physical culture class es in Danville and Sunbury. The fact that the superior playing of the Sun bury girls was responsible for defeats for the Danville players in both the contests did not detract a bit from the pleasure of the occasion. The young ladies who played on the two Danville teams are members of the class which has been working this winter under the supervision of Miss Lovett, and which made such a favor able impression in the Y. M O. A. gymuastic. exhibition recently. The personnel of the teams was as follows: Misses Lilliau Foster, Effie Woodß, Edna Hughes, Edna Gearhait, Elsie and Lorena Gnlick,Ethel Rockafeller, Ethel Shannon, E lith Jenkins, Lonisa Williams, Bertelie Wolvcrton, Mabel Shepperson. The members of the Sunbury teams were choseu from a olas*of the Young Women's Christian Association of that town, which during this wiuter lias been instructed by Miss Jessie Kirner »r, ut Danvtiia. Ti>e games were play ed in the Casino, Second street, Sun bury, and were witnessed by a large and enthnsiastc audience composed en tirely of women. Both the games were hotlv contested and enthusiasm ran high as the young lady players brought out all the fine points of the game, dribbling, passing,covering and shoot ing baskets, with the dash and accur acy of veterans. The scores were 32 to 8 and 8 to 0, both in Sunbury's favor. Physical Director J. C. Aiusworth, of the local Y. M. C A. .acted as referee. The picture made by tbe two teams was very pretty. The girls from the Danville class were dressed entirely in white, with sailor hlonse and bloom ers. The Sunbury players wore white sailor waists and blue bloomers. After tiie games a'.l the players were escorted to the rooms of the Sunbury Y. W. C. A where a sooial hour was spent and refreshments were served. A number of the young ladien from Danville remained in Sunbury until Saturday evening,-visiting among the members of their opponent teams. Among those frota 'this city who went to Sunbury to se'e the games were Mr. and Mrs. .!. C. Aiusworth, Miss Bertha Cloud.Miss Anna Shultz,James Kase, Edward Price and Will G. Brown, who made the trip in the Price car. Soou alter Kaster tbe Sunbury teams will ootne to Danville to play the Dan ville teams in their home town. The games will likely be played In the armory.

Tlie chief of police yesterday stated j that the officers are doing all they can to disoourage it, but that tlie practice !Is a difficult thing to prohibit. Play ing ball in the street is in violation of the borough ordinance and the proper remedy to apply, of course, would be to make arrests. This, the officer said, j had not yet been doue, but if all ad monition fails and it is demonstrated that the practice can not be broken up in any other wny then arrests will snrelv follow, drastic as the measure : may seem to be.

Western trade is relatively better than that of the east iu this line, but cool weather arrests expansion the country over. In industrial linos generally operations are quiet to dull, with tlie iron and steel trade, where prices are weaker, one of the apparently leant favorably situated lines.

Human at Least. An American player who fulfilled several London engagements under the late Sir Henry Irving tells a story of n young man employed as tbe tragedian's dresser when Irving was the lessee of tlie Lyceum theater. The young fellow had been recommended for tbe place by Clarkson, the celebrated wlgmak er. Irving was as exacting In matters of makeup as he was In everything else relating to stage equipment, and he succeeded In Impressing Clarkson with a deep sense of responsibility. Shortly after his entering upon his new duties Clarkson called upon his former employee. As Clarkson bail noticed that he did not get as many orders for wigs from Irving as he for merly did. he had begun to suspect that the dresser was accountable. "Are you making Sir Henry's wigs?" Clarkson demanded without prelim! nary. "Sometimes." "Do you cull that a wig?" sneered the caller, pointing to an article on the dressing table. "Do you mean to tell tne that you believe that thing looks at all like a wig?" "No. sir. 1 don't," hotly replied the dresser, now considerably irritated, "but I do mean to say as how It look.' like the 'air of the 'uman 'ead!"—St. Paul Pioneer Press. The Precise Scientist.

CHESTNUT FARM IN COLOMBIA COONTY By the purchase of 165 acres of tlm berlaud la what is kuown as "Piuo Swauip" In Cleveland township, Col umbia couuty, Coleman K Sober, of Lewisburg, known the world over as the "Gnestuut King," has secured a place which he considers ideal for the uevelopiug of one of his well kuown chestnut farms. The property was bought from Mtrtin Luther Saber,last week. It is his intention to take off wiiat timber is marketable and then to clear ttie plot of all underbrush, and rotten limbs, etc. After this is done, he will commeuoe the systematic planting of his "Paragon" chestnut trees, with which he has won fame and fortune. It is his intention to make the Colum bia couuty chestnut farm the equal of his Northumberland couuty property. Mr. Sober has 400 acres of laud on his Irish Valley farm, near Shamokin. Hare he hai planted thou-auds of native chestnut trees, upou which he has grafted the Italian or "Paragou" chestnuts. Ijast year he harvested 8,000 bushels, all of which were told in the State of Washington fur ttie average price ofs6 per bushel. This year he has 300.0COgrafts start ed, aud expects to graft 100 000 trees on Ills farm there. The balance he will sell to Gleu Bros., a nursery firm, in Rochester, N. V., which lias contract ed to take all the graft* he can raise. VSitli new trees comirg on this year, aud a good crop, there is no present reason, lie says, why the crop ought not to exceed 5,000 bushels ou the farm. The intention of Mr Sober is to eventually sell his chestnuts in all parts of the country. He has had his farm in Irish Valley about 10 years, and has made a great success of it.

DEFACING THE MONUMENT Chief-of-Police Minoumoyer visited Memorial park Friday afternoon for the purpose of investigating the re port that vaudala are defacing the sol diers' monument. The report is no doubt well found- ; ed. The offenders seem to be boys iftf j town, who commit their depredations! in broad daylight. Among the persons j who talked to the chief on the subject' was au eye witness. The boys were j seen to use the stataes as targets aud j to pelt them with stones, while others performed acrobatio feats on the top \ of the large highly polished granite \ balls. ludeed, uo part of the memorial seems sacred aud, unlets something is done, it will be only a question of time until the noble memorial will reveal the marks of abuse and desecra tion. The chief-of-poiice found small stones lying at the feet of the statues j showing that there was truth in the report that tho figures are being used as targets. Apparently very little nctual damage has as yet beeu wrought. Not a moment should be lost by the borough authorities iu taking action to prevent a repetitiou of such con temptible conduct on the part of boys. It is useless to attempt to hold the two policemen responsible for the con dition of affaire iu the park. The acts of vandalism are not committed when the oflicers are iu sight and with the whole town on their beat they natur ally tiave but little time each day to devote to the park. There should be some person whose special duty it is to look after the park and to be cu the ground at least a portion of the time. The park is be ing made a play ground for boys. The young trees are being mutilated and the sou ruined. There ought to be some way of dis covering who the chief offenders are. These should be arrested and an ex ample made of them that would have a deterrent effect on others. The park was established aud the memorial er ected at a heavy cost and sacrifice and no outlay should be considered too great that is necessary to protect both from harm. Mow's This.
