The deceased was ill for about three
weeks. He was seized with an attack
of sciatica rheumatism, which later
became complicated with an abscess.

survived by four brothers—Arthur of
lowa and Prank, Alvin and Luther,

The statistics of gifts for the benefit
of humanity as compiled by the Chic
ago "Tribune" for 1909 shows the
greatest givings ever.
The year 1909 has been characteriz
ed by extraordinary beneficence, the
total donations and bequests amount
ing to $150,041,258. Of this sum $70,-
(136,487 represents gifts and $77,601,-
BU> bequests. The whole amount has
been distributed as follows: To char
ity, $(17,-140,421; to educational institu
tions, $10,123,241 ; to religious iusitu
tions, $22,443,885; to art museums,
galleries and public improvements,
$8,01(1,410; to libraries, $3,012,293.
In the distribution of this handsome
beueficience women have played no
unimportant part. Their contributions
by gift and bequest amount to $13,-
293,930.
The largest amount of gifts hereto
fore were made in 1907, with an
amount slightly in excess of $140,000,-
000.
In the life tragedies of the year
there shows a small decrease over
1908, the number being 10,230 as com
pared wit-h 10,852. The proportion of
suicides as between men and women
remains about the same as last year,
the record this year being 7,201 males
and 3,029 l'einals. Physicians head the
list among professional men, though
the number is smaller than for many
years past. Ten prominent attorneys,
nine clergymen, seven college profes
sors, six journalists and four artists
also committed suicide during the
year. The suicides arising from busi
ness loses have greatly decreased, be
ing but eighty-one, as compared with
over (100 last year. Of these 81.33 were
bankers or bank employes criminally
involved. The cause of these suicides
are as follows, the classification, as in
the case of homicides, being a general
one: Despondency, 4,760; unknown
cause, J,4K7; insanity. 559; domestic
infelicity, 834; ill health,93(l; business
losse, 81; liquor, 130; disappointment
in love, 243.
The significant feature of the above
figures is the large increase of those
who commit suicide because of ill
health.
The number of legal executions,
which for a few years past has been
decreasing, shows an increase, being
107 as compared with 92 in 190 K.
The number of lyncbingsin 1909 was
87, a falling off of 13 as compared with
1908. In 1892 the high watermark, 235
was reached; in 1905, the low mark of
60.
The number of deaths by all kinds
of personal violence in 1909, except
suicides and lynching, as reported by
telegraph and recorded in the various
States and Territories, was 8,10 !. a
decrease of 819 over 1908. It must be
born in mind that this record does not
include merely those cases which are
usually classed a- murder or suicide,
but every form of death by personal
violence, and that the subjoined
classification is a general one in some
respects,particularly as to deaths aris
ing from quarrels.
A significant feature of these figures
is the increase of murders by highway
men and thugs, being 185 more than
in 1908. During the year there have
been fifty double,eleven triple and one
quadruple murders, teu murders com
mitted by Highbinders and twenty
eight by the Black Hand.

30 were killed in 1909, and 74 serious
ly injured. On the foot ball field 31
were killed and 240 injured. These
include both amateur and professional
players.
By automobile accidents 562 pel sons
have been killed and 2,552 seriously
injured during the year.

DANVILLE AND
PITTSTON DRAW
The two games of basket ball be
tween the strong Pittston five and the
newly organized Danville team on
New Year's day proved to be "cork
ers." Pittston was on hand with its
usual strong line-up and played a fast,
clever game. With their experience of
five years in playing together they
were barely able to down the local
boys, who were playing as a team for
the first time, in the afternoon game
and were defeated by a larger score
themselves in the evening contest.
The afternoon game opened with
Pittston taking Danville by surprise
with their fine team work and the first
half ended with the visitors in the
lead by a score of 21 to 6. In the sec
ond half Danville came back with a
rush and outplayed the miners, but
time was too short to overcome the
lead of 15 points and the game ended
with the score at 30 to 39 in favor of
Pittston. Dailey and Price for Dan
ville and Haston anil Miller for Pitt
ton played star games.

BEAR SEASON
The season for shooting bear in
Pennsylvania closed with Friday and
according to Secretary Joseph Kalbfns
of the game commission, the killing
of bear this year was tho greatest
known in ten years or more. Dr. Kalb- |
fus' estimate is that at least 400 bear
were shot, principally in the northern
and Allegheny mountain counties.
The bears were more numerous, too,
than for a long time and a score, or
more of hunting parties reported that
they came close to camp. This was the
first bear season to close with the year
as heretofore the bear seasons has run
until spring. Tho season for bear as
made by the last legislature was from
October 1 to January 1. The shore
bird season also closed with Friday
and from all accounts it was a good
one from the time it started on Sept
ember 1. Other game seasons which
ended with the year are blackbirds,
and doves, which run the same as shore
birds, and salmon and pike, which be
gan June 15. Tho duck season goes
until April 10th.

i worst form and that the trouble would j
develop into Bright's disease if not |
checked. I had pains in my back, so !
severe at times that I was hardly able i
• to move and thorn was a soreness j
across my kidneys. A lameness across !
my loins added to my misery and there
i was a complete retention of the kid
ney secretions at times. At otliei
| times the secretions caused me great
i annoyance by their frequency in pass-
I :ige, forcing me to arise during the ;
night. The least cold I contracted
would settle on my kidneys and great
ly aggravate my suffering. I used
plasters and remedies hut failed to find j
relief until I procured Doan's Kidtiev
Pills at Hunt's drug store. I si ill take ;
this remedy oil and on and it serves toj
i keep my kidneys in a healthy condi
