In the most fiercely contested gaiut
of the season, at the armory on Satur
day evening,the High School five sue
cesafully defended their champioushii
title by defeating St. Michaels' A. A.
by the score of 38—29.
The playing of St. Michael's was a
surprise all around aud to no one more
than (heir opponents. Taking the lead
at the start by several quick baskets
they kept a few points in advance ol
High School for the first eighteen
minutes of play, when after some nice
floor work High School tossed two
goals in qciok succession, leaving them
one point to the good at half time.
In the secoud half High Sahool en
couraged by the long delayed lead, got
together aud by a foul aud a number
of difficult baskets by Dailey and
Cooper placed their score six points in
the lead. St. Michael's seeing the
game slipping away from them, play
ed desperately. .1. McVey succeeded
in placing one and Hiokev tossed 'em
in froui any place. At the beginning
of the last five minutes of play, the
score stood 28—25 in favor of High
School. St. Michael's secured two
more baskets anil High Sahool three.
Score 32—39.
Tha passing of St. Michael's was the
teatcre of the game. No chance throws
were uiade, a man meeting the ball in
every ease. The coolness aud caging
ability of the team argues well for
their standing next season.
High School played its usual all
around good game, Dailey, Edmond
son, and Cooper doing the tossing.
Several oue arm shoots by Dailey were
much applauded.

Push Cart Hack on the Job.
J. W. Crosslpy, who. with his hand
cart. did such good execution in keep
ing Mill street presentable the year
before last, is back again on the job.
Is seems to be settled that the street
sweeper will not be putin commission
this year The expense of operating
the sweeper, it Is held, is quite equal
to the oost of employing two men,who
are considered equal to the task of
keeping the street perfectly cleau. In
addition the results did not suit a
majority of business men on Mill
street. Too much dust accompanied
the sweeper, even though the work
was done at night, while in the Inter
vals between sweeping days the street
became very unsightly and objection
able. The man, with the push cart
formerly employed. It was averred,
raised no dnst, and being on the job
continuously kept the street clean and
presentable at all times.
Mr. Crossley, who will be joined by
another man in a day or so, will keep
Mill street nlean from the river bridge
to the Danville Milling company's
plant on North Mill street
The special hose ordered for flush
ing is expected to arrive in a day or
so and will be regularly employed by
the two men in conjunction with the
shovel and broom in keeping the pav
ing olean.

Benvenuto Cellini (1300-1571) tells of
early Italian surgery. He had got a
bit of chipped steel In his eye, "so far
Into the pupil that it was Impossible
to get it out, so that 1 was in very
great danger of losing that eye. But
the surgeon came to the rescue with
the pigeons. The surgeon, making me
lie upon my back, with a little knife
opened a vein in each of their wings,
so that the blood ran into my eye. and
I was thereby greatly relieved. In the
space of two days the bit of steel is
sued from my eye. and 1 found that 1
bad received considerable ease and In
a great measure recovered my sight."

A Great Mystery.
There is one great mystery in God's
universe somewhere flows a fountain
of life, where is one of God's secrets
How far its waters flow we cannot
tell. No human feet have tracked Its
streams In their wanderings. The Fa
ther has decreed tbnt we must drink
of It to live, and yet he blinds our
eyes with sleep before he lets us
drink. When we awake the strength
of the stream Is In us, and BO we make
the journey of the day. And the
strange waters have strange powers.
Soul darkness and despair are melted
In them; fear aud trouble shrivel; hope
and strength are held In sweet solu
tlon in their wakes. Worn and wearr
with the care and fret, closing her
eyes ns the tired lids fall in the gloom
of night, the faint mother slips Into
the stream of sleep, and then in a little
while the morning comes, and a new
woman looks out upon the day with
the secret of a new creation In her
soul, new power and courage born of
the waters of life,—Sturgls (Ky.)

TROLLEY LINE
BEING PLANNED
A company composed of prominent
men iu (lie various towns along the
proposed line, together with several
capitalists from New York and Harris
burn, has been formed for the purpose
of building a trolley line along the
West branch of the Susquehanna con
necting Montoursville, Muncy, Mont
goniury, Wutsoutowu, affording a iou
tinuoas trolley road between Lewis,
burg and Williamsport, aud eventual
ly to reach Suubury and Shamokin,
and afford a link in a system to reach
the large eastern cities.
It is the intention of the stock hold
ers of the concern, in addition to pro
viding their own power to erect a
powerhouse sufficiently large to fur
nish light to the eouirauuitics iuto
which the line passes.
The road will probably counect with
the line which is to be built between
Sliaiuokin Dun and Lewisburg, the
plans for which also include the fur
nishing of light.
This will lie one of the lougest sys-
I teius iu the.State. Although New Eng.

of the couutrv are well supplied with

GOT THE WHOLE VOTE.
A Pledge That Was Freely Given and
That Was Easily Kept.
It Is related of n certain candidate
for office in :i certain Kansas campaign
that he billed himself for a speech iu a
southern Kansas town on a certain
; October day and wrote ahead to a i
number of friends there to give him
"tips."
One of them told hiui lo see a < er- |
; tain colored man upon his arrival in |
the town. "!f you ran get the vote of '
this negro," wrote the friend, "you can I
get the vote <>f the whole negro popu
lation In this town. Don't fall to see
him and get him to your way of think- j
ing"
About the first thing the candidate |
did after registering at the hotel was <
( to look up this negro. It was only a 1
little while after the Introduction that |
i he was calling the negro by his given !
| name, filling his |iockets with cigars, i
passing him compliments and general- j
i ly "giving him the taffy." The negro
took it all and enjoyed the occasion
j Immensely. The candidate spent sev
-1 era! hours In the negro's company aDd
after he thought the proper degree of :
warmth had been obtained broached
! the real object of his friendship:
"Say, John, I want the negro vote of
this town."
"All right," replied John. "I'll vote
| fo' you, sab. I'll vote fo' you. I'm
! fo* you, sah."
"That's all right." said the candi
date. "That's all right. I'm eure yo.i
I will. I'm sure you will. But I wan
to have the whole negro vote of this
town. I want to get all."
"Dat's all right," responded the nc ,
gro. "I done said I'd vote fo' you. I'ci i
yo' friend. I'll suttlnly cast my vote '
fo' you."
"But, say, John, I know that," salil ,
the candidate. "See here, I'll be frank
1 The fellows told me that you are a bfci
man among the colored folks down
here and that If I got your vote I'd I
get the whole negro vote In this place
I Do you catch on?"
"Sho," replied John. "Sho I do. ;

Clerk or Bricklayer?
"Youoften hearclerks say they would

laying every day in tlio week and '
twice on Sunday."
lie took another cheese sandwich In
his long, pale, ink stained fingers and.
perched on the lnnch counter's high
stool, declaimed wnrmly: I
"Clerks, however poor, are popular 1
with the ladies on account of thelr;fine (
clothes, but bricklayers, when they got
sparking, get the cold shoulder. e
"A bricklayer, no matter how much j
he makes, has trouble in getting into t
swell boarding houses, for his clothes
soil the fine furniture, but a clerk, with
his white hands, is welcome In any
house he enn afford.
"I know what I'm talking about, for i 1:
I brlcklaid two years before I took to j
clerking. And you'll find lots of young j
bricklayers forsaking the trowel for ! ,
the pen; but, though clerks often say
bitterly that they'd rather lay bricks ' "
than push a pen, they don't really
mean It—they never turn."—Cincinnati
