As a result of experiments made at the experimental station at Pittsburg the government has determined just wbat blasting powders are the safest under certain conditions. The powder used by the Florence miners 1* classified as among the safest of blasting explosives, but a recent experiment developed one that Is even more safe and under instructions from the District Mine Inspector this powder I was placed In stock at Florence to be . used by the miners. The explosive recommended by the inspectors Is a trifle higher In cost than that formerly In use and the walkout resulted. The matter appear to have been ] satisfactorily explained to tho miners and all again appears serene. TIME FN MEflCHAHTS 10 810 FOHTtlAOE ALOHG P.R.R.

Malta, Sept 27 Two Italian battleships and four torpedo boats passed here today headed for Trpoli. It is believed that Italy plans a demonstration of force. LONDON, Sept 27. Despite the optimist it views throughout the continent, where it is believed the Turco- Italan dispute will be settled on the basis of recognition of the Turkish sovereignty and Italy's economic rights, tin- anti-war policies which the Lloyds advanced sharply today an J is selling at the enormous hazard of forty per cent. This is due to the free admisson in Constantinople that Italy's note that any augmentation of the Turkish forces there would be considered as an act of hostility is considered an ultimatum the violation *»t' which would result in the declaration of war by Italy. (By United Press) Constantinople, Sept. 27 Italy delivered her ultimatum to Turkey demanding that the latter agree to the occupation of Tripoli. Italy declarer that unless Turkey replies befor tomorrow she will occupy the province without further discussion. The situation is serous in Tripoli. The native Turks have armed themselves and organized into independent companies which are drilling night and day. Every able-bodied rnau Is ready to fight against Italy. Johnstown, Altoona and other distant points are making a strong bid for the trade of that section and the towns mentioned are getting it. Soon a trolley line to connect wth lines out of Altoona and Johnstown will be running through that section and what little trade now cornea to I'uiixsutawney will be diverted. It is up to the Punxs'y merchants to get there first. If the merchants of the old town would get together and endeavor to make arrangements with the company so that the people along the P. R. R. could spend an entire day shopping in Punxsutawney everybody would be benefited and to what extent one can only guess. In six months time there will lie at least one thousand persons living In the new town. Within a radius of ten miles of that place there are, perhaps, five thousand other persons for whom Punxsutawney should be the natural shopping center. Points all along the Pennsylvania railroad, .thriving towns containing thrifty peopl(., who, if geographical location counts, ought to be spending their money here, but they aren't. And poor railroad facilities on the Pennsylvania railroad is to blame. The town to be built by the Eastern Bituminous Coal company, at the terminal of the five mile branch front Sidney, an extension of the Bear Hun branch promises to be one of the largest coal mining towns in this vicinity. One hundred and twenty houses are to be erected and as the company plans to open up the con! as fast as possible, the town promises to grow proportionately. illK to lie ii Itig One Nov Mining Town Near Sidney is Go I There is coining to the Jefferson theater on Saturday night a production that tlio.se who enjoy a good, hearty laugh, should see. .Many who attended the production of "Madame j Sherry" regarded themselves as having been "stung." This may be. At any rate the management of the Jefferson theater was not responsible for the stinging. "Madame Sherry," produced by Woods, Frazee and Ia'.I-erer, looked like an extra good proposition. The best of reports from towns whero the show had been staged reached here, while the price of seals was fixed by the show management. It was at first placed at two dollars per seat for the entire orchestra circle, but by dint of much persuason it was made $1.50 and $1.00. Which, we will agree, was more than it was worth.

Of the merits of the production Itself I'titixsutawney people know nothing, hut this they do or should know, Hal Johnson is with It, and it can't be otherwise than first class. Don't let the fact that "Madame Sherry" was not up to standard keep •you from the show Saturday night, for you will surely miss a treat. The institute, as is customary with functions of such order in independent districts, will endure for Ave or six days, but not consecutively. Friday and Saturday, Nov. :! and 4, of this year, will be the Hist days of the Institute and the remainder are booked for some time after the holidays.Arrangements are going on apace for the First Annual District institute of the Punxsutawney schools, and if no hitch appears in the present arrangements tho first Institute in this district will far outshine any similar event ever fathered by the schools of the county, which is a statement of some breadth. Among the instructors listed for Novenuer U and 4 are Deputy State Superintendent of Public Instruction II. B. Tetrlck, o[ llari lsburg, formerly superintendent of the Jefferson county schools. J. M. Coughlin, superintendent it the schools of Wilke It i re, a man of national reputation in edu ationnl crcles, has al«o been secttr' !.

The sessions will be held In the High school auditorium Friday afternoon and evening, Saturday morning and afternoon. Mr. Tetrck is In wide demand as an Institute Instructor and Punxsutawney teachers and citizens may congratulate themselves and Superintendent Jackson upon having seemed him. There is good assurance that the young couple will bo happily received when they return.—DuTlols Courier. Further developments revealed the fact that she left town with her lover, F. T. Wilson, said to live on Park Avenue. The parents had objected to the young people marrying and they took the matter into their own hands exclusively, and decamped between evening and morning. They went north on the 2:15 a. m. flyer and were married at Buffalo. They went on to Canada, for a trip, and from the other side telegraphed to the bride's parents as follows: "We are happily married and hope you will forgive us." Yesterday morning when John C. Frederick, of G04 Reams Street, called his family, a daughter, Miss Mary K. failed to respond. Her parents Investigated and found her room vacant. She had retired at her usual time Monday evening, during the night had quietly departed, with a portion of her wardrobe. •No favoritism was shown in th • wording of these blanks and this was made obvious to every person in attendance at council that night. Others who (lid not attend may still he laboring under a delusion and hence the above explanation. The intention of the bidding form was to secure uniformity in the bids submitted. On previous occasions the estimates submitted by contractors all varied in form and it took considerable figuring to arrive at totals. To do away with this Secretary Mitchell was instructed to prepare the uniform bidding blanks. in all State work standard sized brick is named and n the form submitted to the contractors here the figures of the standard size were named after the words "standard sized paving block." The intention was not that that sized brick alont could bo used by the contractor, but the figures were placed there lo keep the contractor from using extra large oil extra small paving blocks. Word came to Mr. Mitchell, however, that residents of Torrence street had misconstrued the technicality and he straightway called up the bidding contractors and inst i uuted them to scratch out the figures concerning the size ot the brick. This was done by two of the contractors. At the meeting of the council it developed that both the West and South Side companies manufacture the standard size of brick, named in the bidding forms, as do in fact practically every brick works in the country. The matter of the bid forms was fully and satisfactorily explained by Secretary of Council Mitchell, who drew up tile form upder instructions from council. The petition stated that the signers had been Informed and reason to believe that favoritism had been shown in the drawing up of the form for bids inasmuch as a certain sized brick was named, which size only the West End brick works manufactured. It was the writer's evident Intention to show that the petition was the result of misinformation received by the writer and signers of the petition, hut he may have failed to make one of two points clear. In a recent Issue of The Spirit there appeared an article signed "Torrence Street" and written by a resident of that thoroughfare, regarding a petition from the residents of that street sent to council concerning the letting of the Torrence street paving contract.

Although there are many and varied entertainments, clubs, societies, etc., which challenge the time and attention of residents of the modern metropolis, nevertheless, there must of necessity be time left,—if time is properly adjusted—for an occasional pilgrimage in thought and song to the Mecca of youth, In which the rugged life of the old state may be lived over again, and which can be made gems of experience which ought not to be lost.
