OPENING GUTTERS ON MILL STREET The thaw Monday afforded ail op portunity to remove a good deal of the ice from the sidewalks and gutters, where it has lain in a thick mass for some weeks. The street commissioner for the first thing Monday morning put the bor ough employes at work opening up the gutters on Mill street in order to drain off the water, which was beginning to overflow the sidewalks. At many places the ice covering the paving was a foot in thickness and rose higher than the sidewalks. It was frozen so hard that gutters could be cut open only by means of axes oijother sharp tools. The ice melted very rapidly yesterday aud together with what was done to drain off the water conditions were much improved. On the other streets of town the gutters as a rule are blocked with snow and the sidewalks are in a bad condition as the result. With a largo proportion of people it seems to be a mooted question upon whom the re moval of the snow from the gutters devolves—the borough or the owner of or tenant occupying the property. That the borough does open the gut ters in some instances was evidenced by the work done on Mill street Mon day. It would seem, however, that work done by the borough in this line can not be taken as a precedent. The matter was threshed over at the last meeting of council. The borough ordinance is not difficult to interpret. The language plainly sets forth that it is the duty of owners or occupants of property to keep the "pavements, foot walks aud gutters" of their respec tive properties free from snow. The street commissioner Monday explained that as the business thor oughfare, where public comfort has to be taken into consideration, Mill street is regarded by the borough as forming an exception, and that the work be ing done there by the borough em ployes does not imply that the prop erty owners generally are not regard ed as responsible where the gutters are blocked. He admitted, however, that conditions this winter are ex ceptional and that at many places it maybe found impracticable to keep the gutters open. THE SOOTHING SPRAY of Ely's Liquid Cream Balm, used in an auto mizer, is an unspeakable relief to suff erers from Catarrh. Some of them de scribe it as a Godsend,and no wonder.

HORSE BADLY HURT A horse belonging to William Kea buck was badly injured on the Penn sylvania railroad crossing on the south side Monday morning. As ho was being driven over the track along with another horse one of his hind feet be came wedged fast between the rail and the plank on the crossing. Before he could be released the horse was badly injured, the hoof being split from the top to the bottom. The anim al suffered great pain and there are some doubts whether ho will ever fully recover. One of Spencer Vastine's horses caught his hoof in the same crossing Monday. Luckily the shoo came off and the animal got his foot out with out sustaining injury. Many Quail Lo»t. Heavy loss of game birds because of the severity of the winter is feared by State game authorities, who say that hundreds of quail and other birds must have perished because of the deep snow and the inability to get food. In many sections quail were saved by sportsmen who trapped and fed them, while numerous farmers have systematically cared for the birds. In many other cases the birds in well known hunting localities have been unearod for. New Flat Boat. Peter G.

A follow who gave his name as Peter Daley was taken into custody in Nan ticoke, Friday, for trying to work a similar game on B. Levy & Bro. of that place. In his possession was found an overcoat believed to belong to R. L. Marks of this city. Daley or Dalaney a-* ho was known in Danville, bargained for a suit of clothes of B. Levy and Bro. on Friday afternoon, presenting a chock for fif teen dollars, which at once aroused the merchant's suspicion. Daley was arrested aud taken before Justice of the Peace Burnett of Nanticoke charg ed with forgery. In default of five hundred dollars bail he was committed to jail at Wilkes-Barre. Daley also attempted to pass a bogus check on C. H. Lecher of Nanticoke, in each of the instances cited the checks showed the payee to bo the American Tank ! company. Chief of Police Mincemoyer Satur- j day morning was in communication i over the 'phone with B. Levy and Bro., of Nanticoke, the firm that ac complished Daley's arrest. There is j no doubt in the officer's mind that | Daley is tho same fellow who fleeced ! j Danville merchants last Wednesday. ! j No action looking to Daley's prosecu -1 tien will be taken in this county at present, as Chief Mincemoyer was as- j sured by B. Levy aud Bro. that they have a first class case against the swindler and will seo to it that he is prosecuted to the full extremity of the law. An overcoat identified as tho one! taken from R. L. Marks in this city was iu Daley's possession when he was arrested and will probably bo return ed to the owner. B. Levy, who caught! Daley at his fraudulent game, about fourteen years ago conducted the cloth ing business iu Danville. He was located on Mill street iu the room uow occupied by Lowenstoin Bros. Daley, the man arrested, is said to live in Luzerne borough.

Elliott C. Armstrong, pastor of the Central Pres byterian church of Williamsport. The sermon relatod to prayer and the rela tion of prayer to the great truths of psychology, a scieuoe which is just now looming up so prominently and is engaging the best thought of the world Whatever view may have been held before, the sermon clearly dem onstrated that psychology has quite as much in it for the Christiau as for the scientist merely. To many, even those who had givon the subject somo study, the sermon opened up a new field of thought. Mr. Armstrong took as his text: Hebrews, 4th Chapter, 16th verse: "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that wo may ob j tain mercy and find grace to help in I time of need." j Passing on from the text,which was J addressed to a people that had lately | become Christians and with whom there was always an inducement to re turn to the old faith, the speaker pro ceeded to a discussion of the soul's at I titude in prayer, which easily led up i to the subject of psychology, i It is one thing, the speaker said, to use the words of prayer and another thing to enter into the spirit of pray ! er. He took up psychology in rela | tiou to the healing power, of the soul, but went no further than to ask wheth er it is a reality. As illustrating the trend of the times he said it is signific ant that so much study should be giv en to the soul of man. It is strange, too, that so much attention should be given to the subject of sleep, a state ]in which one-third, of man's life is passed. Many sermons of the present day ate being preached on the relig j ious value ot' sleep. Much attention throughout the relig ious world is also beiug given to the psychology of prayer. This study is j active not only among religious people but also among others to whom it has j become more and more apparent that the power of prayer is a real force — just as is electricity or steaui—that certain lives are driven by it. It can and has accomplished certain great things. In act of prayer the suppliant becomes ; conscious of another and a higher self, which rises to a loftier and loftier level. In prayer a fixed idea comes to dominate the soul and thus is develop ed a tremendous power for good. Dwelling on one thought in prayer a person comes to believe it true. In this way under the dominion of a fixed idea poeple have broken the chains of vice that enslaved them and great transformations of character have been wrought. We all are conscious of having with in us an underlying realm of soul, which we do not understand. In the exercise of prayer this reservoir of un derlying power breaks through and wells up. The phenomenon is often remarkable. Whenever there is a real j and earnest prayer one becomes eon scions of a power that comes tip out of ! the depths of the soul. The speaker described certain types of old people, which are objectionable lo us. It is a matter of great moment jhe said, what wo will be like when |we grow old. Prayer may help us. It ;is plain that when a man begins to | pray '•« begins to exercise control over i his future—that lie becomes more and more the master of the future. Prayer may bo made scientific. Let a boy draw a picture of what ho would i like to he in the future and under the | dominion of that fixed idea during the years of prayer he will grow into j that very thing he aspires to be. > Mr. Armstrong left Danville sixteen I years ago after a successful pastorate ] at the Grove church.
