WILL SCAFFOLD THE CITY HALL | At a regular meeting of the borough j council last night the contract for | scaffolding city hall preparatory to | giving the building a coat of paint I was awarded to Price and McCloskey of this city for one hundred and forty dollars. Only one bid was received, that of the above named firm. The figure seeming reasonable the contract was awarded. The scaffold ing, it was ordered, must pass inspec ! tion of the committee on public safety. | It is to be used both by the painters | and the workmen engaged in pointing ! and repairing the wall. The contract- I ors will retain ownership of themater | ial used in scaffolding, i ' The following communication was | received from the Danville and Sun bury Transit Co., relating to the pav ing of East Market street: Borough Council, Danville, Pa. Gentlemen:—With regard to the agreement tendered us by you relative to street paving I am authorized to say:— "That the Danville and Sunbury Transit Co. will not accept said agree ment,as it in no way carries out the original proposition named us by your body, and had this been done there i would not have been the slightest tron- 1 ble. "We would like to block upthe rails now laid on East Maiket street to j grade, pave with the same material I used by the borough contractor, con- ' tract with him for our portion of the ; work and to this end ask your con- j sideration, and remain Very truly yours, A. H. WOOLLEY, Gen'l Mgr." In the light of the above communi cation it remained for council to de cide whether it should insist on hav ing the present rail replaced by the heavier one similar to that used on Mill street or permit the Danville and | Sunbury Transit Co. to proceed as it j proposed in the above comuuuucatiou. , On the recommendation of the bor- j ough solicitor,on motion of Mr. Heim a resolution was adopted ordering that | notice be served on the Danville and ! Sunbury Transit Co. requesting it to j replace the present rail in sixty days ! according to ordinance. On motion of Mr. Curiy it was ord- j ered that the secretary notify the Bell !

Ahead. At the hearing ou Saturday when fourteen men were arrainged before Justice Dalton for trespassing ou rail road property to view the gamo be tween Danville and Alden a man met a boy squeezing himself out through the crowd at the door. "Well," said the man, "is the base ball still on in there?" "Yes," returned the boy, "they've got one moro innings, and the D. L. & W. is ahead." Time Changed. The borough council will hold its next meeting on Thursday evening, June 2nd, instead of Friday evening, June 3rd, the regular time of meeting. The change is made on account of the presence of the circus in town on the regular date of meeting, which makes it somewhat doubtful whether a quorum will be present. DANVILLE, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 26,1910 REV. A. J. HITS ABLE DISCOURSE The baccalaureate sermon to the senior class of the Danville high school was preached by the Rev. A. J. Irey in the First Baptist clmrch Sunday. A large congregation was present, the school board attending in a body. The large class, for which space had been reserved in the front part of the church, was the center of attraction. The sermon was a masterpiece, bear ing the stamp of originality; eloquent and forceful throughout. A very inspiring feature of the ser vices was the music by the Orpheus Glee club, which rendered two selec tions,one being, "My Faith Looks up to Thee," and the other, "Praise the Lord, O My Soul." In the latter Mips Margaret Ammerman sang the soprano obligato. The sermon was founded on Luke 10:28: "This do and thou slialt live," the theme being "The Making of One's Life." Following is a synopsis: The fact of self-determination con fronts every one. Those in youth, middle life, the aged. And not only because this life is made by the one living it primarily, but it is ever in the process of making. Here none can retire,and the man or the woman who does, in the broad sense, simply con fesses that now they have begun to make their life over a bad pattern, that they have largely ceased to live, and have consented to merely exist. The physical of us, through a kind ly ordering of the Creator, does, in deed, reach the summit, the acme, of its vigor and usefulness; and then be gins to glide down that slope whose end for it is the tomb. But the spirit, the immortal self, of us, never. Here the process of making goes forward even while the earthly casket weak ens; oftimes finding this very decay the inspiration,the means for the more rapid development of the immortal life. The opportunities for the successful itutluutc ol cue's life wexe ppTf" 1 •<> numerous, so great as now. Think of the aids ever at hand. Think of the broadened and ever widening sphere of endeavor and conquest. Think of the spirit altruistic, the spirit which reaches servingly outward to human ity and upward to God's throne,as ob taining today ivs never before in the hearts of men. Eartli and the air and the seas have to a remarkable degree placed themselves under tribute to humanity. How may we make, model our lives after the best possible fashion? Swing your will, yonr life into line with the will and plan of God for it and keep it there,would you know greatest suc cess and pleasure in life-building. Rightness here is basal. Life build ing may go forward without this affiliation with the Deity, but though the superstructure may assume gig antic proportions and though its beauty and splendor may command the won der ami admiration of men yet there is present in its every part the element of a fatal weakness; its foundation is the sand and in the day of the final testing it shall topple and fall with a crash. The recognition of and surrender to all natural and propier relationships is another potent factor in life-making. Be yourself; live your own life, but do not pusli your individualism to the offensive, injurious extreme of either the recluse or the tyrant. As we can not live without others we must make ourselves most essenti al to others by dealing fairly, kindly, generously, helpfully. The front we present to life will de termine largely our influence over oth er lives. Confidence, cheeriness, are contagious; so also are doubt, fear, cowardice and complaining. What right lias any one to bo continually injecting in other lives the spirit of doubt and discouragement? Never by droop of form and drag : ging step and querulous tone take the ; position of one that is "down and 1 out." It is one's lofty estimate of the round of life's daily duty which pre i serves it from the dull, (lead level of I monotony and drudgery. If you would make your life wortli the while, avoid the tomper which seeks the easy job.tho place congenial. Wo are not in the world to koep it just about as good as it is but to mako it a much better world. We do not any longer live in relation only to self, family, community. We are in elbow, : heart touch with mankind. The great- I er part of the human family are on ; levels lower than our own. The low er levels have heard of us "and our more fortunate estate. They are look ing to us of the higher levels for help. Relate your life to the good of the whole world in a determined purpose to make it a sweeter,purer, more god ly world. Constitute your life a refreshing outpouring fountain rather than a parching devouring qiueksand. Be lieve in the reality and forcefnlness of your own personal influence. MAY REMOVE SCHOOL HOUSE | The school board held a regular | meeting Monday eve. President W. A. j Sechler occupied the chair.

The school board, accompanied by a com mittee of council, last week visited the school house on Welsh hill and familiarized themselves with condi tions there. During the discussion Mon day eve the members went on record as favoring a removal of the building to a new site nearby where better drain age can be secured. Final action on the matter will be taken at a joint meeting of the school board and coun cil. Borough Superintendent Dieffen bacher reported that notwithstanding the time lost while the schools were closed on account of the scarlet fever epidemic last fall the second ward teachers by zealous effort and by work ing overtime have succeeded in get ting their classes nicely over the al lotted work. ■•«»-. Mr. Pursel declared that the second ward directors are well pleased with the advancement made by the schools of that ward. He moved that an order be drawn for three weeks' salary with held from the teachers on account of the sohools being closed but now due them as they have brought their schools j up to the standard. On motion it was ordered that a j vote of thanks be extended to the Rev. , A. J.

Humanity is hungering for heart more than bread. Look and say and act your love, the love which is in every soul, but which in all too many breasts lies a bruised and maimed and bleeding tiling. Have a heart big and brave, tender and unselfish for friend and enemy—a heart filled with the spirit of the 1 Christ. PAINTING THE H BRIDGE The contract for painting the river bridge was awarded to R. A. Sim mons, of Pottsville, at an adjourned meeting of the board of county com missioners held Tuesday, the contract price being $2195. The bids were opened at a joint meeting of the Montour and Northum berland county boards held Saturday. The bids submitted were three in num ber, as follows: li. A. Simmons of Pottsville, $2195; C. W. Snyder of Catawissa, $994; Thomas W. Haines of Wilkes-Barre, $1999. The commissioners decided not to award the contract Saturday but to postpone action until Tuesday in order, to give the matter the consideration it merited. They were fully aware, they explained, that in such work it might prove cheap in the end to award the contract to a high bidder. The work for which the proposals were in vited, which included the scraping and cleaning of the ironwork, in their op inion, constituted an enormous prop osition. It was their business to weigh all matters and see to it that the contract fell into the hands of one that had not underestimated the work, who possess ed the equipment required and would be able to do a first-class job for the money involved. In forming the esti mate of the bidders they had to be governed solely by the references nam ed. Mr. Simmons had recommenda tions from the Pennsylvania Railroad company, the P. &R. Railway com pany and others. In addition he pos sesses an excellent equipment and has done a great deal of such kind of work —all these circumstances, the commis sioners state, weighed heavily in his favor. At the adjourned meeting Tuesday the contract was awarded to R. A. Simmons, who will enter upon the work as soon as possible. Mr. Sim mons will bring a few of his regular painters with him; other competent workmen of this city will be employ ed, should they apply. An enormous amount of scaffolding will be required. Mr. Simmons ex plained Tuesday that a fixed scaffold will have to be erected under the bridge and that a large flat boat will have to be employed in connection with the work. One span and a half will be scaffolded at a time. The scaffold of each section, will be permitted to re main until the work is inspected by the county commissioners. RAIN CAUSES UPSET The shower yesterday afternoon was responsible for a bad upset on East Front street, which nearly resulted in a runaway and in which the driver narrowly escaped injury. It happened between 4 and 5 o'clock. The wagon of the Danville Milling company, driven by George A. Fry, was passing near the corner of Pine and East Front streets, when an at tempt was made to turn aiound. It was raining and the street was muddy and very slippery. The horses were re stive auil swung around very short,the wagon at the same time slipping, the result the wagon, which was loaded, upset, rolling.over nearly upside-down. By an agile movement Mr. Fry jumped lauding on his feet. As the wagon went over the heavy tongue snapped off near the axletree, which released the horses. The team, however, was quickly grasped by Mr. Fry and thus a runaway was averted. A tongue was procured at the Ger mania brewery and thus the wagon was taken back to the mill. A lot of the flour and feed was stored tempor arily in a dwelling nearby. GRAND COMMANDER LANCASTER, Pa., May 25. John F.

AWNING REMOVED The wooden awning, which for many years did service in front of the store of John Jacobs' sons, Mill street, was taken down yesterday morning. Such awnings, which were much in vogue a few years ago, have become unpop ular of late. One can easily recall when the front of most of the business places on Mill street were protected by awningß, but one by one they have disappeared until now only a few re main. The stationary awnings undoubted ly served a good purpose,not only pro tecting the fronts of the stores from the brunt of sun and rain but also af fording a shelter for pedestrians when caught in storm. They had the effect, however, of darkening the stores and detracting from the appearance of the buildings. Their removal on the whole is probably an improvement. STRIKERS AWED WILKES-BARRE, May 25.
