GIRLS PI,A!
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

Protest from Citizens.
Residents in the vicinity of the Y.

other parts of the borough are much
annoyed by the practice of playing
hall in the street indulged in by IIOVB
. and youug men.
! 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.
The authority for such arrests would
lie in section six of the borougli ordin
ance for the preservation of peace,

shall play at bat or hand ball on the

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,

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.

Wheat Presents Fine Appearance.
The prloe of wheat, which was up
to #1.35 per bnshel.has fallen to $1.20,
which is still the highest price com
manded for many years. Meanwhile
the farmers are further encouraged by
the favorable outlook for next season's
orop, the wheat fields sliowii g up
green aud hardy with the ground well
covered.
Those familar with trade condi
tions are at a loss to account for the
high price of wheat at this time.when
there is such a general stagnation
along all lines. Other cereals are cor
respondingly high.
Rye Saturday was quoted at To cents
per bushel ; corn at 65 cents, aud oats
at 55 cents.
A good deal of wheat in this vicin
ity was sold at fl.gs per bushel. Oth
ers, who held out for a higher figure,
are now selling at the price quoted
above. There is still a great deal of
wheat stored np in the graueries,
which will be sold between the pre

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.

how often he prescribes a tonic for them. He will prob

ITALIAN TO PIECES
The first outbreak of the Black Hand
in Northumberland county in two
years,resulting in a foul murder of as
innocent and unsuspecting Italian, oo
| ourred near Trevorton early Sunday
morning. The murder W»B a foal and
i premeditated one.
While Salvatore Relfore and tw»
other Italians were asleep in a Read
ing box oar on a siding at Trevorton.
persons as yet unidentified crawled
under the ear, prepared a charge of
dynamite, wrapped clay about it, ig
nited the fuse and fled The ensuing
explosion blew a big hole in the oar,
directly under the bunk ocoupied by
Relfore.who was instantly killed. Hit
two companions were hurled out of
their sleeping qnaitera but escaped
with a few lacerations and bruises.
Terrified,the two fortunate ones hur
ried towards town and were met by
an excited crowd hurrying along the
road leading to the North Franklin
colliery. All had beeu awakened by
the explosiou and thought the boiler*
had collapsed at the mines. An ex
nmination of the oar showed that it
had been badly wrecked The hodv of
Relfore was found iu one end of the
car, part ot his clothing iu which ha
liad slept had been burned away.
Ooroner Clarence Mnlone of Shamo
kin soon arrived and empanelled a

ployed by the Readiug company a*

good workmen nnd did not mix with
the rougher element of a large colony
of Italian wort men there.
The trio, after playing cards until
midnight, sought their respective
bunks iu good spirits, intending to
rise eailv Sunday to attend church.
Belfore, eo far as it is known, never
had trouble there with any person,and
