VOL. 21 MOUNT PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND CO., PA., TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 7, 1893.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
DKMOCRATS are beginning to realize
that being the party in power in thin
country means responsibility for every
thing that happens, good, bad or indif-ferent,
and especially bad. The depress
ed condition of trade, disappointment
over the distribution of patronage and
late pension rulings form a combination
which makes rough sledding for them at
today’s pools.
THE Mount Pleasant Ministerial Asso-ciation
has decided to give the collection
to be taken up at the Thanksgiving Day-services
to the free lunch room. Let us
then, remember the closing sentence in
President Cleveland’s proclamation
“Let generous gifts of charity for the
relief of the poor and needy prove the
sincerity of our thanksgiving.”
WHEN Judge Doty was a candidate for
the bench the Republican organ at
Greensburg threw speak easy mud, just
as it has been doing this campaign with
Mr. Arniburst, Democratic candidate lot
County Treasurer. If Mr. Saam is de
feated he ought to know where to plac<
his thanks. Personal abuse of any can
didate alway s increases his vote.
IP only half the reports of Mr. No-waek
are true, lie would he able to tied
very little exciting when his fellow po
litical orator was threatened with lynch
ing by indignant Polish countrymen in
Pittsburg just the other evening. That
well known Mount Pleasant man has
been there himself.
THE purchasing clause of the Sherman
silver law has been repealed, Congress
has taken a rest, the World’s Pair Is over
and if the tariff question was settled
there Is no reason under the sun why
business should not be resumed at the
old stand.
Mu. TRAOQEH may be in his dotage
and. therefore, unfit to do business; but,
if he is, he still retains, in a marked de-gree,
the desire to get something for
nothing. Then, too, there’s no fool like
an old fool.
THE Vanderbilts can’t get a through
line Into the coke region any too quick
to suit Mount Pleasant people who are
not yet bowed down under die weight
of special railroad favors.
SOME exchanges think it strange Pres
ident Cleveland didn’t mention Baby
Esther in his Thanksgiving proclama
tiou. lie doubtless hears enough of iliat
young lady at home.
THE Commissioners ot Paiette county
don’t deserve much credit for the arrest
of the alleged colored murderess; but, as
a class, ibey take on a saving spasm just
before election time.
IP Council had even half an eye to
helping the idle men about town Mr.
Shape would have been permitted to lay
his experimental sewer long, long ago.
WHEN credit tor the repeal of the silver
purchasing act is being passed around
Stephen Grover Cleveland ought to get a
good slice.
WANTED TO LYNCH ’EM-Ronglt
Reception of n Mount PlcaHRiit
Polish Orator by Ills Fellows
In Pittslmrg.
One of the liveliest political meetings
ever held in Pittsburg was called to or-der
in St. George’s Hall, Saturday night.
Joseph Resensky and Charles D. No-wack,
of this place, rented the ball and
Issued a call for a Polish Democratic
meeting. Mr. Resensky is publisher of
the Pittsburg Polish weekly paper, and
Nowaek is tbe man who, it is alleged,
made bimselt famous in Pittsburg six
years ago by attempting to shoot a Po
lish priest on tbe South Side.
The hall was packed to overflowing.
The meeting was called to order, and
Valentine Vlsviski was nominated for
secretary. He refused to accept tbe
office, as lie stated he was a Republican.
Mr. Nowaek was tbe first speaker, but
not permitted to say a dozen words. Mr.
Resensky called for order, and then tried
to address the meeting. The doctrine
that he advocated proved very unaccep-table,
for the noise grew so great that
not a word he said could be heard. A1
most every person in the hall started to
Bhout at him to sit down, as they were
Republicans, and wanted to hear nothing
more from him. Mr. Resensky was com-pelled
to subside. Pete Standkibish and
John A. Fraunk then got up and refuted
everything the former speakers had said.
They were listened to with the greatest
attention.
At the conclusion of their speeches the
audience was considerably worked up,
and on Mr. Rosensky again trying to take
the floor cries of “hang him” arose on
every side. Some persons in the gallery
procured a rope and it was lowered to
the platform and attempt made to carry
the threat into execution. A regular riot
was now in progress and chairs and fur
nlture were broken to pieces
TURN ABOUT FAIR PLAY.
REPUBLICANS GONEIDENT OF COMING OUT
VICTORIOUS IN TODAY'S ELECTION.
As For flic Keystone ami Huckeye State
Tickets It Is Simply a (Question of
Majorities, While There Will be
Many a Surprised Westmoreland
Democrat If the County Don’t Go
Against That Party.
More interest is being taken by Penn-sylvanians
in today’s election in Ohio
than in their own state. The reason is
simple. Hire the nomination of Col.
Jackson for State Treasurer and Judge
Fell for the Supreme Court was looked
upon as their election; but, in the Buck-eye
state. while the same can be said of
Governor McKinley's contest for re
election, the question of majority is all
important as an increase will be taken to
mean an improvement of that protection
champion’s chances of being struck by
presidential lightning In ’96. Whntseem
to be conservative estimates puts tbe
Major’s majority, in round numbers, at
1)0,000.
The fight in thecounty is all one-sided,
despile the fact that Westmoreland is,
politically, pretty evenly balanced. No
difference how lit tie last fall’s change ot
administration had to do with bringing
about Hie present depressed financial
londition of the country, it was uot
11 llleu11 mailer for Republicans to con-vince
the hundreds of idle men thatsuch
was the case, and this conviction will
piay no small part in making up today’s
result at the polls.
Another stumbling block for the un-terrlfied
candidate for office was the pen
sion ruling as made by Secretary Hoke
Smith. While the suspension of pen-sions'
in this county has been small in
number there were plenty to stir up the
ire of the old soldier so that, as a rule
ho will use the ballot as his only weapon
of defence.
Then, the distribution of patronage has
left many sore spots on the "Star of the
West" Democracy. Take for instance
Mount Pleasant, and what is true here
can be said of numerous other placeB
throughout the county. Captain Hubbs
and Dr. L W. Hunter, the Main street
dentist, were the leading applicants for
the postofllce, It was confidently expec
ted llie doctor, lmvipgthe local leaders of
his parly at the back, would win out with
bands down ; but, history shows that the
genial captain gathered in the plum after
a still bunt, thanks, it is said, to the in
flueuce of Secretary Uarrity and Silas
Cline, Esq., anil the late John Kuhns, of
Greensburg.
The defeated dentist and his friends
felt particularly hurt at getting knocked
out from the fact, that the victor never
took a leading part in local politics
rime has doubtless softened this feeling
In some unterrifled hearts; but, where
such is tbe case, indifference as lo today’s
outcome has replaced it. As evidence of
the presence of I lie latter feeling might
be cited tbe reception given County
Chairman Keenan on tbe occasion of his
ee’ent visit here. Prominent members
of the party, although they knew of his
presence, had to be invited to call around
at his headquarters in the old Cleveland
Club’s rooms; while, in several instan-ces,
the invitations so extended were
politely declined. Taking this dispass-ionate
view- of Hie situation, it would,
ndeed, seem that the whole Republican
icket, despite Captain Laird’s personal
popularity, will be elected by majorities
that may touch four fingers; at least, if
he Democrats w in, there w ill be many
a member of that parly surprised.
Over in ‘ Old Fiatt” all interest in to
dav’s election centers in the judgship
fight, which is generally conceded to lie
between Mesirezat and Inghram, with
the chances largely in the former’s favor
owing to the withdrawal of Reppert, the
Republican candidate in Fayette. The
resalt, however, is not so sure for Mes
trezat that Ins Fayette Democratic sup-porters
are above trading which gives
Favette Republicans a good fighting
chance to pull the balance of their coun-ty
ticket through.
MOitE SPEAK-EASY CASES.

On Friday last Constable Armstrong

ARRESTED AFTER ALL.
EMMA BUCHANEN, TOE COLORED MUR
DEDESS, NOW IN JAIL AT UNIONTOWN.
Tlie Close-Fisted Fayette County Com-missioners
Refuse to Advance Money
For Her Capture, but Wheeling Au-thorities
Pick Her Up and She Is
Brought Dark for Trial, Confessing;
Her Guilt.
County Detective Campbell, after lo-cating
F.mtna Buchanen, the colored
murderess of John Woods little child at
Detwiler’s mill, at Wheeling, W. Va.
visited the Fayette Commissioners three
times, and made emphatic demands for
the money, hut the Commissioners re
fused to furnish one cent to bring the
cruel murderess back for trial. They
gave as their reasons that the would be
picked up by someone at some future
lime, saving the county that much ex
pense. Furthermore they said shat the
officers had no case against her, a lien in
fact they have, in addition to all other
evidence, tier own confession to the
father of the murdered child.
The people, especially Woods’ neigh-bors,
were very much incensed over the
matter, and there was talk of a popular
contribution fund to defray the expense
of bringing the negreBS to justice, both
for the purpose of punishing crime and
rebuking the inexplicable showing of
economy on the part of the Commis-sioners.
Such a course was not necessary as the
Wheeling authorities captured the girl
and held her until Thursday when De-tective
Campbell went down and brought
her back to Uniontown where she is now
in jail awaiting trial.
The arrest was made at the house of
Mrs. Julia Mason, an aunt of Emma’s.
Emma said she did not know the Woods
child wasilead. While the babe’s mother
was away from home one afternoon the
girl says she give the little one a half
teaspoouful ot something. She did not
know what the stuff was or that it was
poison, blit had seen another girl give a
baity something Iliat looked like this
from a similar can. When she BHW the
baby was sick the girl told its father
what she had fed it. He discharged her
ami drove her in a buggy to a town, from
which she went, to Allegheny and irorn
there to Wheeling.
Officer Campbell arrived with his pris
oner at Uniontown, Saturday morning,
when tlie girl made a full confession
She said the baby cried, and rocking the
cradle only made it cry the more. A
girl in Connellsville told her that con
centrated lye would make a baby stop
crying, and she gave it a dose of lye for
that purpose. To the officers in Wheel
tug she said she hail given the child the
lye because Bhe ivas tired taking care of
it. The girl does uot seem to realize the
enormity of her crime or show any sor
row, her only thought being how long
she will be uonfiued.

Attendants' Down Considerable.
Tlie tree lunch reoni continues to run
smoothly along under tlie genoral man-agement
of J. B. Coldsmith. The aver
age attendance last week was 80, ten less
than during the week before. There
was, If anything, an increase In the
number of applicants for food, but tlie
people who gave out tlie tickets have
been investigating cases, particularly
those of foreigners, and the result is sup-port

AN INTERESTING SUIT.

Man Under the Exemption Law.
Auizi Struble, of Mount Plensant town-ship,
lias brought suit before Justice
Loor, of Greensburg, to recover $200
damages from Constable Gallagher. It
appears that 3:ruble refused to pay a
debt of twelve or fifteen dollars. The
man to whom the money was due went
before a’squire and obtained judgment
against Struble for the amount and then
instructed the justice to issue an execu-tion
on him.
This was done and the necessary pa
pers placed in the hands of Constable
Gallagher, who levied on I lie goods and,
notwithstanding he was notified, In con-formity
to the law, that Struble had ta-ken
advantage ot theexemption law,Gal-lagher
sold the goods. Struble then
brought suit against him as above stated.
Justice Loor haB reserved his decision.

By Going Down to nroadfbrd anil
There Connecting With the PemtcUy
the Vanderbilts Would Have a Di-rect
Line From tlie Connellsville
Coke Region to New York.—Many
Options Already Taken.
A Johnstown correspondent claims
that during tlie present winter the Beech
Creek Railroad will begin the construct-ion
of a line to extend from Carrolltown
to the Conneiisvllle coke region, and
which will eventually end in the Beech
Creek people getting a line to Johnstown.
The new line will run from the mines
to tho Strltmattor’s crossing at the tun-nel
south of Carrolltown, where the line
will cross the divide and follow the north
branch of the Black Lick to Ritter’s Fur-nace
In Indiana county. B'rotn there it
will cross to Westmorelaud county and
follow tbe Ligonier Valley to Ltgonier
and theneo by way of this place and
Scottdale to Broadford where it will strike
the Pemickey. The latter road is owned
by the Vanderbilts, who are interested
In the Beech Creek roail.
If this connection is secured this will
give a direct line from the coke regions
to New York. A branch line will then
lie built from tlie proposed extension at
Bethel, Black Lick towiiBhlp, which will
follow the Hinckston run through Black
Lick, Jackson and East and West Taylor
township to Johnstown. This arrange-ment-
wlll give a direct freight line from
that region to the eastern markets.
The information given is hacked by the
statement that surveys of the dlflerent
roads have already been completed and
that a combination of New York men,
who had options on 5,001) acres of land,
covering all tlie mineral rights of what-ever
nature In Buffingtown township,
Indiana county, and Black Lick township
in Cambria have just clinched their hold
on the lands in question by purchasing
the rights and paying for them.

A HUN HANKER ABSCONDS.
Mlclinel Kozak, of ComirllM lIlo, Disap-pears
Willi $15,000 Deposits.
Michael Kozak, a Slavish banker and
steamship agent, at Connellsville, lias
left town and taken about $15,000 of his
depositors’ money with him. Kozak left
home some two weeks ago, telling his
wife that he was coming to Mount Pleas-ant
on business. He did not return and
a few days later Mrs. Kozak received a
letter from him, postmarked Philadel-phia,
which stated that he would not re-turn
and that he did not wish to live
with her any longer. Ho inclosed a
check for $150, saying she could use tbe
money to pay her way to Hungary. He
also sent back her watch and gold ring.
Kozak represented himself as agent for
Peter V. Rovnianck & Co., of Pittsburg,
steamship agents and publishers of a
Slavonic newspaper. He received mon
ey from his countrymen on deposit and
to send to Hungary which he embezzled.
He was treasurer of a Slavonic society in

A COUNTERFEITERS’ DEN
Found by Hunters Inn Laurel 11111 Cave
Near Waterford.
While John arid J. K. Rutler and
George Shirley were out hunting, one
day last week, in the Laurel Hill, a few
miles from Waterford, they saw three
men coming out of an old coal cave, each
carrying a satchel. The hunters called
to them, but they refused to stop and
ran into the mountain in the direction
of New Florence. The hunters opened
fire on them, which the counterfeiters
returned, but none of the Bhots took
effect.
The hunters were astonished to find a
full kit of counterfeiters’ tools, such as
molds, etc., also about a hundred pounds
of wool, a keg of whisky, several crocks
of honey and bedclothes. For several
months past counterfeit money lias been
in circulation all through that section.

He Was Allowed to Win *5,000 at
Three Card Monte and When he
Complied With tlie Rule and Showed
Up a Like Sum tlie Sharpers Take
Everything Except a Nice Little
Empty Till Box Given the Victim.
George Trauger, a wealthy old farmer
and miller, aged 83 years, whose broad
acres, fine farm buildings and mill are
the admiration of everybody driving
from here to Pleasant Unity, played
three card monte with two strangers,
Wednesday last, and as a result his
Greensburg bank account was $5,0C0
shorter that evening.
The rules governing the old game—one
getting into the victim’s good graces by
appearing intimate with prominent peo-ple,
desiring to buy a farm, taking a
walk, meeting smooth man No. 2 who
first loses $100 to No. 1 and then $5,000
to the now greedy victim who rushes off
and produces a like sum In order to se-cure
possession of the big stake, only to
And the exchanged box empty when the
generous strangers haye gone—are just
the same old rules and age simply im-proves
them like it does wine.
The manipulators of the scheme came
here on the last Pennsylvania train,
Tuesday evening, and registered as C.
Simpson and W. Langdon, of Philadel-phia.
They are both heavy set men,
smooth faces and black hair, of probably
some forty years of age each. The one
wore a gray suit and brown hat and the
other’s clothes and hat wore both dark.
While they supped together their con-duct
toward each other was that of well-bred
strangers. The next morning, how-ever,
about 7 o’clock the one went to
Hont’s liverv stables in tbe rear of the
hotel and hired a horse and buggy and
both drove away together.
When Mr. Trauger’s place was reached
the vehicle contained bnt one who im-mediately
proceeded to worm himself
into the old owner’s good graces by stat-ing
that he was related to the Barclays,
the Greensburg bankers, and understood
that Andrew Giftln, a neighbor, was de-sirous
of selling his farm, while his busi-ness
was to become the purchaser. He
seemed well aeqauinted with Mr. Trau-ger
and spoke of being a friend ot his son
John who is tlie head of the Lutheran
book publishing house at Columbus, O.
When everything was ripe for the
second act the stranger pursuaded Mr.
Trauger to go along over to the Giffin
farm and on the way sharper No. 2 came
on the stage with his three card monte
specialty. No. 1 finally consented to try
his hand and picked U{5 the lucky card
for $100. Mr. Trauger was given a cor-dial
invitation to put his luck to the test,
but at first declined. However, when
No. 1 whispered to him to put his finger
on a certain card the old gentleman did
as requested and could scarcely believe
his own ears when informed that he had
won $5,000. That sum wasn’t handed
over to him at once as there was one
condition with which he must first com-ply
: produce a like amount, just as evi-dence
that he could have paid had he
lost.
Mr. Trauger explained that he hadn't
the money about him. but If lie were in
Greensburg with what ho had in bank
and with negotiable paper he had at
home, he could show up in good shape.
No. 1 suggested that he and Mr. Trauger
get the notes, drive to Greensburg, ob-tain
the cash and come back and haul in
the big stake. The kind ofler was
promptly accepted by Mr. Trauger who
explained to his suspicious wife, when
getting the notes, that his companion
was one of the Barclays and the whole
affair was a little matter of private busi-ness.
When Greensburg was reached
Mr. Trauger had no trouble in getting
the money when he explained to his
bankers that his son was in financial
trouble.
For a man who was waiting to lose
$5,000 sharper No. 2 gave evidence of
possessing wonderful nerve by staying
right on the ground until his partner and
Mr. Trauger returned, shortly before
noon, with the$5,000, forapartof which
is said Mr. Trauger gave his note at
ten days. The sight of the victim's pile
instantly removed all doubts from the
mind ot the monte man who gracefully
paid over his loss and the $10,000 was
placed in a nice little tin box which
wasn’t handed to Mr. Trauger but one
that looked just like it was. Then No. I
drove Mr. Trauger almost home, apolo-gizing
for not going all the way by say-ing
that he must hurry back here, but
that he would return the next morning
and close the deal for the farm.
The aged victim got out with his pre-cious
box and walked home, doubtless
feeling that the day’s work had paid him
a good deal better than raising flOcent
wheat. If such thoughts were his they
were rudely dispelled that evening by
his son Jacob. The latter had been
away from home, but on returning in the
evening and, catching an inkling of
what had happened, called on his father
who finally told of his supposed good
fortune. The son took no stock in the
story and knocked the box open. A let-ter,
telling the victim what a fool he
was, comprised the contents. Young Mr.
Trauger lost no time in going to Greens-burg
and thence to Pittsburg where be
placed the matter In the hands of private
detectives.
After leaving the Trauger place, the
buncoers drove rapidly to Greensburg
where they disappeared after hiring a
boy to bring the team back together with
a letter to Mr. Hout,containg the hire,$3.

HOUSEHOLD BREAKAGES.
A creaking joint In the domestic ma-chinery
is that of servants’ breakages.
II 'w often one hears the plaint, ‘‘I’m
through buying expensive china and
glass, it seems to be the slipperiest sort
for the maids to hold," or a sigh from the
collector of bric-a-brac, “I can insure
my curios against tire and burglary, but
not, alas! against the dangers of dusting
day.”
Some mistresses try to enforce the
principle that breakages must be paid
for out of the maid’s wages, but. as was
recently tested in a police court, this
process is not legal, and the servant can
claim and secure (nil wages. The moth
od is, besides, manifestly unjust, as in
the homes of wealthy persons it might
be possible for a careless servant to
break in an instant a piece of bric-a brae
that it would take years of unrequited
labor to pay for.
A suggestion which comes from
writer on the subject is to the effect that
housekeepers might find rebel in
“breakage fund.” That, for instonce, a
sum of $2 per month be put aside to be
divided among the servants where two
or three are kept, lesB if only one is em
ployed, from which sum 25 cents is dc
ducted for every article broken by any
one of them. This might be possible and
successful In some households, but in
many would not be feasible. It would
at least do away jwlth the exasperating
indifference with which an inquiry about
broken articles Is met, and would blunt
the edge of the painful mystery which
always surrounds such occurrences.

THE correspondent who telegraphed
from New York that Russell Sage had
given away a dollar in charity knows
news item when lie sees one.
tlon is now included in the cities of 8,000
or more. One or two features in conneo
lion with this change Indicate that, In
addition to the attractions of supposed
chances for fortune in tiie cities, the
deartli of social life there Is largely el-feetive
in sending country bov« to the
towns. Thirty years ago the education
of a farmer’s son in college was not. held
to exclude farm life from among the
pursuits open to him as an educated
man. The collegiate course of those days
may have been somewhat primary ; hut
the recognition was clearer then than
now that farming offered aH legitimate a
pursuit fer a man of intelligence as sell-ing
calico or measuring out sugar. An
other tact of great significance is that the
singing schools, spelling matches, husk-ing
and apple-paring bees that were so
prominent and pleasant as rural social
gatherings a quarter century ago have
now nearly died out.
Farmer’s work, pursued with the same
intelligence and judgment that must be
given to successful business in the city,
affords, aB the Pittsburg Dispatch rightly
puts it, a surer and safer return of a
modest competence, if not more than
that. It also gives better opportunities
for social and friendly gatherings than
are likely to be open to any young man
who comes to Bcek fortune in a great
city. But the need Is that farmers shall
see, first, the necessity of using the best
knowledge as well as industry to secure
the largest returns for their work ; and,
next, that they should understand that
country life must be made attractive In
order to prevent the farms from being
deserted by the youth and enterprise
whoso efforts there are most valuable.
THE WOMAN AND Till'. HAT.
IT would be interesting to know what
Senator Cameron thinks ot hlmsolf about
now.
A MAN'S VALUE.
That appearances are often deceptive
every one knows. That there may be
more in a man than appears on the sur
face any one wil) admit. That a man
may be penniless and yel bo worth thou-sands
of dollars is, however, a proposi-tion
which along with the two preceding
ones It has been reserved for the Uolted
States Government officials to demon-strate.
From the official reports ol the Census
Department it Is learned that the average
young man ofl54 pounds weight could
be put in marketable form so as to pro
ducc the sum of $18,300. This involves
only one slight Inconvenience to the
young man. He can’t have his money
and himself both. He must submit to
the somewhat inconvenient process of
being cut Into small pieces, which are to
be cooked and decomposed into their
original elements. When this is done
there will bo 90 pounds of water, 10
pounds ot glue, a cubic foot diamond of
pure carbon and 51 ounces of calcium
worth $300 per ounce. There is also
among other ingredients 3J4 pounds ol
brimstone, though judging from the
de’Illshness of some people the amount
must sometimes vary greatly from the
average. From these figures it. will be
seen that there are a good many people
who would be of more vulue to their
families resolved into their original ele-ments
than In propria persona.—Pitts-burg
Times.
IF William K. Vanderbilt really has
embarked in the eoal business, there can
be no doubt that the Vanderbilt family
motto has not been misrepresented.
SOCIAL LIFE ON THE FARM.
One of the speakers at the Congress of
Agriculture in Chicago struck an Impor-tant
trutli in asserting that “the attrac-tions
of farm life could be increased, par-ticularly
in the winter months, if far-mers
would realize that men and women
were created social beings, each given a
desire for social improvement and for
gain.” And he wont on to say that II
the farmer would assist his children “in
arranging some pleasant recreation, some
social entertainment where the hoys and
girls are brought together on mutual
grounds, where they could become ac-quainted
with one another and learn to
entertain each other in some mutual
work, establish libraries for study, sing
ing schools, debating societies, dancing
schools, to give the young people ease
and confidence,” the tendency of the
younger and more enterprising to leave
the country and flock to the city would
be materially lessened.
This no doubt touches closely one of
the great influences that for the past
thirty years have been draining the
country Into the cities until, as shown at
the last census, one-third of the popula-
BETTERMENT OF THE WORLD.
What the question really asks is test!
mony as to the movement at the present
time; whether the world ss a whole gov-erned
by better principles than It was 50
years ago; whether Christianity is be-coming
practically more regarded;
whether crime is more repressed, and
whether the agencies for good are more
active and more successful in their oper
ation. That this is the fart we cannot
doubt. We do not need to say that
Christianity—and we assume that to be
the best expression of goodness—is ex-tending
its conquests over the world.
Christianity counts as its own a much
larger territory than It did 50 years ago.
But dropping the formal profession of
Christianity and coming down to practi
cal goodness we cannot but make the
same answer.
If we are told that there is more crime
In the big New York of to-day than there
was in the little New York at the begin-ning
of the century we reply by compar-ing
the London of to day with the Lon-don
of that time. Laws are better obey-ed,
public morality is betier observed,
crimes against the purity of the home or
the sanctity of the person are less dis
graceful now than then. The public
conscience treats licentiousness or Slav
ery or intcmperence much more severely
than >t did then. It is a shame now to
get drunk; it was not then. It is illegal
now to hold slaves; It was not then. An
Aaron Burr now could not find an en-trance
into polite society. During these
50 years the public conscience has been
awakened to its duty to the public, and
good people of every religious name are
banded together to repress injustice and
wrong. Oar halls of legislation are
purer than they used to be. A smirch
on a man’s name such as would not be
considered at the beginning of the cen-tury,
now drives him into retirement.
If we have any power to read the open
book of history now current before us, a
sounder morality, a better instructed
conscience and a more consecrated
church than the world ever before saw
are heating back the powers of evil. The
forces ot right are hopeful; they are ju
bilant; and if they are still militant they
are adding conquest to conquest, and
their progress is triumphant.—Veto York
Independent.
A Story Which Hun a Moral If Yon ('on
See It.
A housewife whose cellar was infested
by rats baited a trap and finally managed
to catch one, whose rize and condition
proved how of; on lie had eaten her cake
and cheese. Greatly rejoiced over the
capture she. wa« about to place the trap
In a tub ot water and drown It, when the
rat calmly inquired:
“Your name is Jones, isn’t it?”
“Yes—Jones.”
“Wife of 8am Jove*, who hasn’t sweat
his collar for the last 15 years?”
"Yes.”
"And over there on the grocery steps
are 1’ote Clay, Jim Watson, Idle White
and a dozen other chaps equally as lazy
as fones?”
“Yes; the usual crowd has got togeth-er
over there to chaw tobacco und talk
horse,” replied Mrs. Jones.
“Well, now,” continued the rat, “turn
me loose into that lumber pile, and if you
don’t get more fun out of the antics of
that crowd tiian would load a hayrack
I’ll agree to return and be drowned.”
After due reflection Mrs. Jones deci-ded
to try the experiment. As the rat
ran for shelter he was observed by all,
and a minute later, headed by Jones, the
crowd was digging lor tiie rodent. For
two long hours, under a broiling sum-mer
sun, 14 men tossed that lumber
around in hopes to come upon that vat,
and when the search was finally aban-doned
Jones got up steam enough to
bring out three boils which had lain
dormant in Ids system for the last 10
years, while at least halt the others had
to go home and w ash their necks and get
into clean shirts.
MORAL.
“You see,” said the rat to Mrs. Jones,
as he met her down cellar next day,
“dead opportunities are simply a source
ol regret, while live issues, il properly
grasped, lead up to success.”

FRENCH DENTISTS.
How They Used to Iveep Patient* From
Yelling Ont.
It is within living memory that tiie
dentiRts best known to Parisians wen
what was called “arracheurs de dents,”
or tooth drawers, who had chairs on tiie
Champs Elysees, in which they extracted
teeth in the presence ot large crowds. It
was tb<* popular belief that, in order to
support their proclamation that the oper
atiou was painless, as soon as the dentist
got his pincers firmly fixed on the tooth
he whispered in the patient's ear, “Can-aille.
If yon make the faintest squeak
I’ll break your jaw.” The arrival of the
American dentists, 40 years ago, gradu-ally
banished these worthies from public
view, and gave dentistry the rank of a
profession, and made its processes more
humane and scientific. But dentistry is
still in Franco a great refuge for quacks
and impostors, as there is no proper legal
control of the art and no diploma requir
ed to practice it. A writer in the Temps,
speaking of this, says that he went re-cently
to a dentist in a small town to get
relief from a toothaciie. The operato
had been highly recommended to him as
very skillful. When ho saw him, how-ever,
he recognized him ns a retired gen-darme
whom he had long known.
“Where did you leavn denistry?” he in-quired.
Seizing his pincers, the ex-gendarme
replied, “With this,monseur,
there is no need of study, it is a beauti-ful
instrument. When it once takes hold
the tooth has to come or tiie jaw gives
away. Sit down and I’ll show you.’
The sufferer promptly fled.
ABUSE OF THE JURY SYSTEM.
There has been trouble with the jury
service in Berks county, and Judge End-llch
haR delivered himself of an opinion,
the spirit of which is applicable to other
countries in the state. He finds that va-rious
details of law have been violated by
those who put names in the Jury wheel,
and that consequently illegal juries have
been drawn. Judge Endltch is not the
president judge ot common pleas of
Berk6 county, and his opinion will not
affect the case in which it was given,
wherein the defendant in a civil suit
sought to have the array of jurors quash-ed,
for cause. The president judge dif-fers,
and sustained the array.
Slimmed up the opiniou is that the ju-ries
of Berks—and bv inference those of
other countries—are illegally drawn
wheu the president judge, who may take
part in the tilling of the jury wheel with
the jury commissioners, tails to take the
oath that they will make a dilllgent and
impartial “selection of competent per
sons for jurors during the ensuing year.”
The charge in Berks county is that the
president judge has, after neglecting to
take thiB oath, used his influence to place
certain names in tiie jury wheel, and that
the commissioners have had no opportu-nity
to do anything more than reject the
superfluous names without adding any
on their own account.
There are other specifications, but they
all, as the Pittsburg Press sees them, tend
one way—to show that justice cannot be
properly administered unless the jury
system is purified in its administration,
if not in Its principles.

MAKING A DOLLAR.
The Tramp Got Trvo Dimes for Valnuhle
Information,
The visitor at the business man’s desk
might have been a tramp, and he might
not. In any event, he was not there
asking a loan.
“Do you want to know how to make a
dollar?” he inquired politely.
‘Yes, I’d like to know how to make
several,” replied the puzzled business
man.
‘You can, sir, hut, of course, you must
know tiow to make one first.”
“That’s so. Tell me how.”
“My information i3 valuable, sir; it
will cost you 10 cents.”
“That’s two beers?”
"Yes, elr; including the lunch that
goes with it.”
Here’s two dimes. Now tell me.”
“Well, sir, when a friend strikes yon
for $5 lend him $4, Good morning, sir,”
and as tiie visitor passed out the business
man remarked that it wasn’t half as bad
as begging a dime, anyway.

A BIG DIAMOND SAFE.
It I. Leu. Liable to be Stolen Than Small-er
Gem*.
The magnificent diamond in (he Tlf
fany exhibit at Chicago, which flashes
like an electric light as It goes slowly
around on its revolving pedestal of crim-son
velvet, lias been bought by Mrs.
Charles T. Yerkes, tiie wife of the Chi-cago
millionaire owning the north and
south line of cable cars, for the sum of
$100,000. As to whether Mrs. Yerkes
will be safe in wearing such a jewel is a
matter much dismissed by her friends.
“She will be perfectly safe,” asserts
some; much safer than you or I would
be in displaying our more modest orna
ments. No man would be such a fool as
to attempt to steal that diamond. It has
been advertised all over the world. He
could neither wear it nor sell it as it is,
and lie could carry it to no lapidary to
be changed into other forms who would
not be thoroughly acquainted with its
history.”
“But might it not be seized upon by
some thief too ignorant to be aware of
these contingencies?”
“No; for such a fellow would be igno-rant
also of the value of the stone. Mrs.
Yerkes may wear her diamond with per-fect
impunity.

A Pointer For Our Farmeis.
Scottdalo Rural Free PreKS.
The charitably inclined people of
Mount Pleasant have considered the
poor In their midst and provided a free
lunch, where all who are in want,
whether they deserve it or not, may be
kept from starving. There has been a
committee appointed to look after toe
insiitution. They have hired a colored
cook and will rely chiefly upon contrlbu
tions by the people of that town and
country. The farmers ought to contri-bute
liberally If it would stop the pre-vailing
thieving in that section, so an-noying
of late.
The Whyfore of the Thing.
Greensburg Democrat.
Many people have wondered whv the
country editors have gone through the
panic with such equanimity and calm
composure, when nearly everybody else
was scare! almost to death. The expia
nation Is simple enough when you come
to think of it. The disturbance in the
monetary system of the country was
confined exclusively to gold and silver
and their relations, and this is beyond
the reach of the rural editor. You can
just bet your hat that if a proposition
had been made to demonetize nickels
and coppers, the country press would
have rushed to the rescue and swiped
Congress off the face of the earth.
Thanka, Bill.
Irwin Standard.
Laet week the benevolent citizens of
Mount Pleasant established a free lunch
room in town, where anv deserving per-son
will be given daily food sufficient to
preserve them from 6uflering from bun
ger. Just think how hard the times
have become when such institutions
have to be established in country towns
for the relief of the suffering. Mount
Pleasant deserves especial praise for this
pbilanlhropical act, which 6bows that
her citizens arc Imbued with pure Chris-tian
charity, and are willing to care for
the poor and needy. If all the other
towns would do likewise wtiat suffering
would be prevented,
The restrictions of the coke output,
the closing down of mills and glass
works, in fact the general stagnation of
business and scarcity of money, all these
things are beginning to tell on the large
class of working people throughout the
county, who have nothing but their la-bor
to depend on In order that they may
procure food for their wives and chil-dren,
and as the dark days of winter are
approaching the outlook for them Is most
gloomy. Thank Heaven there people of
means, who, like those of Mount Pleas
ant, have sympathy for the poor, and are
willing to back up their sympathy by
generous actions. Let other towns
where there may be suffering, do like-wise.

THE ARIZONA RICKER AAAN'S LIVELY EX-PERIENCE
AFTER A POKER PARTY.
lie Hum Up Against Col. Pentwaterln
lilt! Dark ami There la a Harmless
Shooting Match, but the Editor Does
the Handsome Thing hy Ills Boozy
Antagonist In Helping Him Home
ami to lied.
From the Arizona Kicker.1
Monday night last at about 11 o’clock
we left the Spread Eagle hotel for our
bedroom in the Kicker ofllee. We had
been playing draw poker with an editor
from Santa Ee and an alderimn from
Tombstone and had won over $200. We
have no apologies to make as a pokefist.
We found the game here when we aril
ved, and one of our earliest discoveries
| was Ihstthc Arizona editor who didn’t
i play poker didn’t run much of a paper.
I We hail reached C’ochlse avenue on our
' way home when something bumped
| against us In the darkness. When a
I citizen of tills town collides with any-thing
after 10 o’clock, he generally begins
shooting. It may be a mule, It may be a
man, hut it Is safest to find that out af-terward.
In this caeo it was our esteem-ed
fellow-citizen Major Peutwater, who
was drunk, as usual, and trying to find
tils way bomb.
We both began firing af the same in-stant,
but after pulling trigger four
rimes we recognized the peculiar grunt
which the major utters when excited and
•ailed out to him. He had fired five
shots to our four, and the wonder Is that
neither of ns were wounded. We were
lodging what we thought was a mule,
and the befuddled major took us for a
billboard blown over on 1dm by the gale
which was raging. Altci the shooting
we took oil our oca* and were going to
lick him within an Inch of his life, but
the major lay down and cried, and we
finally led him home and helped his wife
puP nla boots off. We do not look upon
this as a warm g for ns to eschew the
game of poker in the lulure, but rather
as a. cad,ion to BUCII of our citizens as get
trunk t either start lor home at a more
ieasonaoie hour or to take the middle ol
the road and thus keep clear ol sober pe-destrians.
APOLOGETICAL.—While we aim to run
the Kicker on metropolitan lines, and
while no human replileean blufi tiedown
when we know we are in the right, we
,io iiol claim to be infaliblc. In the rush
and bustle of getting out a great family
newspaper, mistakes are liable to occur,
and when we find ourselves in the wrong
we do not hesitate to admit the fact.
During the last few weeks we have tin
intentially wronged certain of our fello w-itizens,
and we now proceed to apolo-gize,
as follows’.
First—It was stated In a local hen
that Colonel White, proprietor ol the
Red Front saloon, lmd been tarred and
leathered by the citizens of Prescott for
beating his wile. The colonel has fur-nished
us positive proofs that he was
never in Prescott in all his life, and that
the whole story grew out of an attempt
to lyueh him at Tucson lor shooting an I
Indian.
Second—Some three weeks since we
nad a breezy item detailing the escape of
ex Judge Eneas from Sing Sing. The
judge has documents to prove that he
was never an inmate of that institution.
He was once In jail in Illinois, and was
allowed to escape by the sheriff because
he roof leaked and the wails threatened
ave In. We did mm an injustice and
hereby apologize.
Third—While we were out hunting
jackass rabbits a few weeks ago an item
nipped into the paper to the eff'Ct that
Mrs. Captain Drayton, whose high teas
were a great social feature last winter,
was formerly a concert hall singer in
Chicago. During a school vacation many
years ago, when she was a thought le-a
girl, she handed around beer in a sum-mer
garden in St. Louis for about a
month. The whole story grew out ot
that, and we trust that litis explanation
nay restore tier lo that high position In
society from which she has been tempo
rarilv displaced.
Fourth—About four weeks ago we had
H brief and crispy editorial paragraph
inquiring if our popular register of deeds
mended to remain drunk for the re-mainder
of the year. As near as we
could figure out he hadn’t seen but three
sober days in two months, ne has come
forward with proofs that he was perfectly
sober and able to do business tor 14 days
out of the 60, and we hereby tender him
a public apology.
Fifth—In a very readable article pub-lished
last month we referred to Prof
Johnson, the singing and dancing mas
ler, as an ex-end man of some nigger
minstrel show. We thought he looked
and acted it, but we were mistaken. H
never traveled with a iroupe. He wa
never an end man. He has never even
been attached to a panorama or a balloon
ascenlion. We not only take it all back,
but shall begin next week to take sing-ing
and dancing lessons of the genial and
upright gentleman who is fitting so many
ofour citizens to move in cultured so-ciety.

Just as the last rays of yesterday’s sttn
made golden the towers and domos ol
the White City, the boom of n cannon
fell upon the ears of tho thousands gath
ered in the groat Court of Honor and
hushed them to silence. One hy one the
reports came until the national salute
had been numbered, and then, as the
last echo died away, the flags on every
staff rose from half-mast to peak. A
moment they floated there in the chill
Ootober breeze and then all fluttered
slowly to the earth. The crowds silently
uncovered at the sight, the strains of the
national anthem arose from the hands
and the World’s Columbian Exposition
was ended. The total attendance footed
up 21,472,2(10.
The Senate last evening at 7:30 o’clock
passed the Voorlioes bill for the repeal of

Kinskey was a German and married two
years ago a widow with four children.
Since then he has made life miserable
for himself and wife, frequently beating
her. Sunday he started a quarrel with
her which ended by his seizing a revol

lung.
Proprietor Bailey, of the Barnum cir-cus,
says he was robbed this season of

The silver fight ended yesterday when
the House concurred in the Senate
amendment and the bill, stopping the
purchase of silver, became a law by
President Cleveland attaching bis signa-ture
to it.
With pomp and wealth of honors be-fitting
the obsequies of a king, the dead

The crank epidemic has resulted in
many changes in the rules at the White

The force of watchmen at the White
House has been increased, and now
when the President goes out he is atten-ded

citizen’s clothing. Every stranger who
visits the White House is closely scruti-nized,
and no one is admitted to the

Trade reports for the week say the re
peal of the silver purchase act does good
already. The business world in every

and the tone of the trade is more confi-dent.
Bankers are more liberal in ac-commodations

All IiitrrvNttiig Article From Dr. Myers'
Pen on That Disease.
Before the Mount Pleasant Board ol
Health removed typhoid fever from the
list of contagious dlsensesln Its ordinance
communications on the subject were ask
ed from local physicians.The following
is the reply sent by Dr. A. Harold Myers
favoring the action subsequently taken
by the hoard:
S'Prof. Jamee C. Wilson, of the Jefferson Medi-cal
College, Philadelphia, says his able and ex-haustive
treatise on the subject: 'The germ of
typhoid fever is not capable ofproducing the dis-ease
in another person in its first stage, hut must
undergo certain changes outside the body liefore
it acquires thin power’; also in connection with
this the same author adds : 'The germ of typhoid
fever retains its activity, in favorable situations,
fora long time.'
"If the first proposition be true, contact with
the patient is not a source of disease so long ns
the patient is kept clean and the excrements are
destroyed. Hospital as well os private practice
has fully demonstrated the truthfulness of this
assertion. In nine years there were tfeated in the
London Fever Hospital 3,555 cases of typhoid fe
ver in wards with 5,144 'patients not suffering
from any sjiecific fever. Not a single cose of ty.
plioid fever arose among the patients suffering
from different maladies.
"Liebermeister stated that up to 1865; in the
hospitals he had visited, namely Oreifswnld,
Tubingen, and Berlin, he had never seen a single
patient, nurse, or physician, attacked with ty-phoid
fever although such cases were placed in
the general wards.”
“Prof. Wilson says : 'In this country it is cus-tomary
to treo^ typhoid cases in the wards of
general hospitals side by side with other patients.
I have never known of the transmission of the
disease to other occupants of the wards, nor to
the nurses.'
What stronger proof should be required in
support of the first proposition. It is, therefore,
only necessary that a good sanitary condition is
maintained in order to obviate all danger and
this the Board of Health should rigidly enforce
when necessary. But to my mind the greatest
danger lies in the second proposition when the
sanitary condition is ucglected.
For, if the germs of typhoid fever are endow,
ed with great longevity, and the power of repro.
duction, it will be found lurking in dork and ne-glected
comers, and about the foul ways of
men’s dwellings, creeping along with oosing
filth, crawling into wells and springs, hiding it-self
in the ground, choosing now a victim and
then a group of them, but never giving rise to ep-idemics
as do the poisons of diththeria, cholera
typhus, relapsing, fever or smallpox.'”
