MOUNT PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, PA., FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1901. NO. 16.
LOOKS UK! l FIGHT
Among Westmoreland Republi-cans
Over the Controllership.
THAT OFFICE DOESN’T EXIST,
ACCORDING TO THE RULING OF
CHAIRMAN RANKIN.
Robert May, However, Change Hie Mind
for the Sake of John B. Steele. Esq.,
Who would Like to Sit on the Orphans’
Court Bench. Otherwise, He is Prom-ised
Rough Sledding with Edward B.
McCormick, Esq., as His Opponent.
Some time ago, when a bill was intro-duced
in the Legislature providing a
separate Orphan's Court for this county,
it was thought that John B. Steele,
Esq., was away up on Easy street near
where that political private road had di
rect connection with the bench. But,
things are different now that the meas-ure
has become a law by Governor
Stone’s signature a week ago. Repub-lican
County Chairman Rankin’s ruling
on the Controllership question is respon-sible
for the sodden change in party
sentiment.
Some ten days ago John D. Hitehman,
of this place, who is a candidate for the
Republican nomination for Controller,
sent his check to Mr. Rankin and asked
that his name be announced officially.
His check, however, was returned by
the chairman who held that the office
had no existence in law and he could,
therefore, make no announcement of
candidates seeking the same.
While the fact that Hon. James
Smooth Beacom is putting a bill through
the Legislature to cover any slip in the
law allowing any county having over
150,000 population to have a Controller
gives tone to Mr. Rankin’s position,
Mr. Hitchman’s friends claim to he able
to see the horny hand of Farmer John
Hideandseek Brown back of Chairman
Robert. The alleged scheme of the
Grapeville statesman, who also has his
eye on the Controllership, is to have no
announcements made for the office;
that is, have them held back until the
SO day limit, fixed by party rule, would
shut them out. In the meantime he
would look carefully after the election
of county committeemen who would
then have the naming of a candidate.
As a little side issue to strengthen his
position Mr. Brown proposes, it is fur
ther averred, to bring out Benjamin
Steele, of Irwin, for Sheriff in opposi
tion to Brother John Handsome Tresch
er, of the Jeannette Dispatch, who is
the only candidate so far to announce
for that office. But, if this is really Mr.
Brown’s game, it will be a hard one for
him to play to a successful finish. For,
many of his old Quay bedfellows will
leave him, join hands with the insur-gents,
taking up Mr. Hitehman for Con-troller.
Mr. Trescher for Sheriff and
Ed B. McCormick, Esq., for Orphans’
Conrt Judge. With this combination
against him, it’s not hard to see that
Mr. Brown will have the run of his life
for his money.

“The Drummer Boy of Shiloh,” as
noted in these columns last week, will
be given in the Grand Opera House
Friday and Saturday evenings of next
week, April 26 and 27, for the benefit of

management of its owner, Fred B.
Wigle, who guarantees it to be strictly
first-class in every particular.
This play has the hearty indorsement
of pulpit and press alike as its national
popularity is attested to by the fact that
it has been produced over 8,000 times in
this country. The receipts at Connells
ville for two nights were $836.90 and at
Scottdale for two performances $551.75
on its fourth appearance there.

with the play for the past 27 years, will
appear as “Uncle Joe,” which is con
sidered to be the strongest black face
part before the American people. There
will be 60 people on the stage here, in-cluding
tbe best local talent, with seven
grand tableaux, making the play fully
up to the standard when the late Colo-nel
Hawkins saw and pronounced it the
best military drama on the American
stage. Don’t forget the dates, Friday
and Saturday evenings April 26 and 27.
Made Against Ralph Curry, a
Local Constable.
TWO BY HIS OWN DAUGHTER
AND THE OTHER IS A BENCH WAR-RANT
FOR COURT COSTS.
Mrs. Nelson Wiltrout, the Wife of a Peni-tentiary
Prisoner, Figures in the Case
as Living With the Defendant Who is
Also Accused of Having Choked and
Threatened to Kill the Prosecutrix.
Two serious charges were made before
Justice Rhoades last week against Ralph
Curry, the well known Third ward con-stable,
by his daughter, Mrs. Alice
Craig, while more trouble befell the de-fendant
in the form of a bench warrant
for court charges.
Mrs. Craig’s story was that she had
been living at Fairchance, but had been
pnrsuaded to come here by her father
and make her home with him. The
presence of Mrs. Nelson Wiltront, the
wife of the well known robber, who is
now doing time in the Western Peni-tentiary
for robberies committed here,
was a disturbing element and things
went from bad to worse, as her father
took the part of Mrs. Wiltrout who, be
claimed, had secured a divorce and was
in law, as she has been in fact, his wife.
He even threatened to do his children
bodily harm is they did not respect her
as such.
The climax in the Curry household
came soon after a child was born to Mrs.
Wiltrout who said that Nelson was its
father. Mrs. Craig took exception to
this statement and was, she says, choked
by her father. She then came before
Justice Rhoades and made two charges
against him. One was for having as-saulted
her and the other, if proven,
would make him guilty of haviug had
illicit relations with another man’s wife.
Mrs. Wiltront is also charged with
adultery.
The bench warrant is for court costs
put on Curry several terms back. He
was the defendant in an assault and
battery suit brought by Harry Mc-
Nanghton, of this place, and which was
compromised by the constable who,
among other things, agreed to pay the
court charges, although he failed to
do so.
While Mrs. Wiltront conld secure a
divorce, her husband being a convict, it
was learned she had not done so she and
the constable were arrested Wednesday.
They waived a hearing and were releas
ed on John Polonofsky going their hail
for court. The woman may have to go
to jail as Mr. Polonofsky was yesterday
released so far as she is concerned.
Curry must also pay off the court costs,
some $26, or he will be committed for
that.
GATES MINE DISASSER.
The Verdict as Found by the Coroner’s
Jury.
The verdict of Coroner Taylor’s jury,
investigating the late fatal gas explosion
at the Gates mine, was made public
Friday. It reads thus:
We find that Gibron Gilmore, George
Petesco, James Murphy, and James
Wilson came to their deaths from an ex-plosion
of gas in the Gates mine of the
American Coal and Coke Company,
German township, Fayette county, Pa.,
on March 25, 1901, cansed by a shot fired
by Michael Gobel in said mine when
gas was present in dangerous quantities.
We also find that said Michael Gobel
fired the shot that caused the explosion
without authority and contrary to the
state mining laws. We further find
that standing gas was present in said
mine in dangerous quantities in the var-ious
working places, in violation of the
mining laws; and that the reason such
gas was present was owing to improper
and deficient ventilation of the mine
and the failure of the acting mine fore
man and fire boss to keep the mine clear
of standing gas; and that they failed to
keep the men from entering the mine
when gas was present in dangerous
quantities.”
Cropper-Stephens Nuptials.
On Monday afternoon last Mr. Frank
W. Cropper and Miss Lizzie Stephens
were united in marriage at the Metho-dist
Episcopal parsonage oh Walnut
street by the Rev. C. L. Smith. Miss
Stephens had for some time been a resi-dent
of this town. Mr. Cropper had
just arrived from his former home in
England. The newly wedded couple
remained with friends in this place till
the following morning when they left
for Pittsburg, departing that same eve-ning
for Hamilton, Ontario, Domini n
of Canada, where they have taken up
their residence. Mr. Harry Stephens,
of Connellsville, car inspector on the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, a brother of
the bride, witnessed the ceremony.
LABOR UNION ENJOINED
By the Supreme Court from Interference
With Apprentices.
Some time ago Charles L. Flaccus,
proprietor of a glass works at Tarentum,
went into the Allegheny county courts
and secured an injunction against W. J.
Smith, John Kengler, Thomas Rowe
and other officials of the American Flint
Glass Workers’ Union to prevent them
from interfering with his apprentices.
The union appealed to the Supreme
Court whose opinion, as handed down
at Philadelphia Monday by Judge
Brown continuing the injunction and
dismissing the case at the cost of the
appellants, is this:
‘‘The appellee had an unquestioned
right, in the conduct of his business, to
employ workmen who were independent
of any labor union, and he had the fur.
ther right to adopt a system of appren-ticeship
which excluded his apprentices
from membership in such a union. He
was responsible to no one for his reasons
in adopting such a system, and no one
had a right to interfere with it to his
prejudice of injury. Such an interfer-ence
with it was an interference with
his business and, if unlawful, cannot be
permitted. The court found that the
interference was injurious to him and
if allowed to continue would utterly
ruin his business. The damages result-ing
from such an injury are incapable
of ascertainment at law, and justice de-mands
that specific relief be furnished
in a court of equity. ”
Pole Ordinance Disregarded.
Last December Greensbnrg’s Council
passed an ordinance requiring the var-ious
companies to pay $1 for each pole
in the berongh. There are 1,158 poleB,
and the tax was to be paid by January
1. The companies failed to respond,
but instend now declare that for each
pole on which the borough lire alarm is
strung, and there are hundreds of them,
the borongh must pay $2. The first
steps in a suit against the companies
will be taken next Monday night.

wages. This Insures a de-mand
for all farm products, for the
American laborer is always a good
liver when lie is earning good wages.
Three men, neighbors, owned adjoin-ing
farms through which passed a
small creek. Each kept many hogs.
It came to pass that the man farthest
sp the creek lost all his hogs by
oholera. as did tiie man farthest down,
the man in the middle losing none.
When the latter told us of this singular
freak, we advised him to go and cut off
an Inch from the tail of every one of
his pigs In the full of the moon and
thus start a new hog cholera remedy.
While an advocate of early seeding
for all our small grains, early sown
grain maturing before the excessive
heat of the midsummer, we still never
slid believe in “mudding” the grain in,
but would always rather wait until the
Boil became in a fit condition to work.
The disking, dragging and tramping of
all clay or gumbo lands as the frost is
going out in the spring is to put such
lands in the worst possible shape for
tbe proper development of the crop
sought to be raised upon them.
Climatic conditions are far too often
charged up witli tbe loss of fruit trees.
There are other things aside from
climate which ruin the orchards of
the country. One is pasturing the or-chard
with stock, another is the work
•f the borer, another is permitting the
trees to overbear, and another is
drought and the failure to properly
conserve the moisture in the soil. Blue
grass sod, pasturing, borers, overbear-ing
and general neglect hove killed
more fruit trees ten times over than
were ever destroyed liy climatic condi-tions.
All the rich prairie loam soils of the
west and northwest should be stirred
with the plow once in every six or
■even years to a depth of not less than
eight or nine inches. So treated, such
soils will produce good crops if plowed
■not over four inches deep In the inter-vening
years. Tills periodical deep
plowing will further be invaluable as
a moisture conserver for tbe crops in a
dry season. Four horses on a 10 inch
plow will do this special plowing in
good shape, and it should be done
just as early in tbe fall as possible.
July and August being the best mouths,
»nd it should never be done In the
iprlng.
It is of interest to note the relation
which our wild animals bear to the
settlement and development of the
country. In the west the coyote was
contemporaneous with the buffalo and
disappeared with it. It was succeeded
by the prairie wolf, which always In-creases
with settlement, tbe enlarged
forest covered incident to a stoppage
of the prairie fires making shelter and
the poultry and young stock of the set-tler
insuring him a good bill of fare.
Wlnm this pest is finally routed out by
li \s, he is succeeded by tbe red
fo . .aid the skunk, both entirely un-known
in tbe early days, tbe skunk
being now one of the worst pests in all
settled agricultural communities of the
west.
Poor stands of grass seed are very
often attributable to the failure to sow
seed enough. Most grass seeds are
very small, and the soil must of neces-sity
be in a very finely pulverized state
to insure the germination of the seed,
and such seed must not lie burled too
deeply. Inasmuch as most gralnflelds
thus seeded are rarely worked suffi-ciently
to make a model bed for grass
seeds, it follows that more seed will be
needed to Insure a stand, if every seed
germinated, two quarts of clover seed
would be ample for an acre of land,
out as the land is usually prepared it is
hotter to sow six quarts if one would
be sure of getting a stand.
The abrogation of the natural law
which provokes contests between the
males of the animal world to the end
that only the strongest individuals
shall lie the progenitors of the race,
which Is done when man domesticates
any type of wild life, explains many of
the mysteries, so called, which are as-sociated
with the diseases which carry
off tiie progeny of such domesticated
animals. A very large proportion of
tiie sires used under domestication
would be either destroyed or absolute-ly
prevented from propagating their
kind were the natural law to get in its
work. This fact should be heeded far
more than it is. Man Ignores it and
trbitrarily breeds to secure color, form,
fineness or any other special quality
lesired, and then wonders why young
pigs, calves, colts, sheep, chickens and,
in fact, all young life, are subjected to
epidemic disease, when tiie real fault
is all his own.
“LOOK Ol;T FOR TIIE CARS.”
There are altogether too many farm-ers
killed each year In the effort to
beat an express train at a railway
crossing. Five farmers are dead and
buried, five widows are mourning tbe
loss of good husbands, and five attor-neys
are trying to collect damages in
the territory near where the writer
lives, each man killed by reason of the
fact that lie thought that bis team was
faster than a mogul locomotive. While
a widow may get a matter of $2,500 or
$3,000 damages and thus be able to pay
off the mortgage on the farm, there is
also the liability that she will get an-other
husband. It is pretty good sense
to look both ways for Sunday wbeu
approaching a railway crossing and
concede the train the right of way.
CHEAPLY MADE PORK.
We can commend tiie following as a
Dew and very practical way In which
to care for a lot of sliotes from the mid-dle
of August to tiie middle of October,
a method whereby the health of the
pigs will be promoted and a gain in
growtli secured more cheaply than by
any other method. If you have 50
young pigs, plant three acres of ever-green
sweet corn in May on a good
piece of land. At the time of the last
plowing sow one and a half pounds of
Dwarf Essex rape per acre among tiie
corn. As soon as tiie corn begins to
harden up. which will be from the 1st
to the 15th of August, fence off half an
acre and turn the hogs In, giving them
a fresh strip from time to time as they
need it. See that the pigs have enough
water and then let them alone. They
will do the rest and make you the
cheapest pork ever produced on your
farm. They will further splendidly fer-tilize
the land for a succeeding crop.
This plan Is well worth trying by every
man who raises hogs, of course reduc-ing
or Increasing the acreage to corre-spond
with the number of hogs in his
herd.
READING AND THINKING.
There is absolutely no excuse for a
farmer being an Ignoramus today.
There is every incentive and every op-portunity
for him to become well In-formed
as to his profession. The best
of literature touching all phases of his
business, short courses at our splendid
agricultural schools, the farmers’ insti-tutes,
cheap books on agricultural top-ics
and the bulletins of the experiment
stations are each and all easily availa-ble
and entirely within tbe reach of
any enterprising farmer. The use of
modern farm machinery gives the man
who operates it plenty of time and op-portunity
to at least work his gray
matter and think, and some sorts of
his work—the operation of the sulky
plow, the corn plow after the corn is
well up and the mower on smooth
meadows—will permit him to pull a
book or paper out of his pocket and
read a bit as he works. It may be put
down for a fact that tbe farmer who
will take 15 minutes each day to read
practical matter along the lines of his
work will not only make more money,
but take a pride and feel an ambition
in his work before unknown.
INCUBATORS,
We are asked to say something about
incubators and the batching of chick-ens
by machinery. The majority of
the people whom we know to have
tried this method have been unsuccess-ful—
their own fault, no doubt. The
few—the patient and very careful ones
—have been successful. It seems that
the trouble Is not by any means over
when the chicks are safely batched,
special care being necessary to carry
them safely through tbe first four
weeks of cblckenbood. One lady friend
raised last year 350 nice white Brahmas
with a minimum of loss with her In
cubator, this being tbe best work we
have noted. Another from 400 eggs
hatched out 150 chicks and lost them
all save one before they were ten days
old. The discussions on the use of the
incubator at several farmers’ institutes
which the writer has attended this
winter have been unfavorable to the
use of the incubator for tbe average
farmer, their use requiring more skill,
care and attention than tbe average
farmer or his wife would or could give
to them. When the goodwtfe has her
way and buys an Incubator against her
goodmau’s wishes, she has done some-thing
which is almost sure to give him
a chance to say, “I told you so.”
The new woman’s wav to save work in
washing, and also save the clothes, is to
use Walker's .Soap, as follows:
» Dip the clothes in lukewarm water, then soap •••••>•»
each piece thoroughly, roll in a tight roll, place
in a tub and cover with lukewarm water, allowing them
to remain half an hour. During this time the soap will do
its work. Then wring out, rinse out and hang out to dry.
WALKER’S
SOAP
is a good soap. Contains no alkali
That is why clothes washed witli it last longest.

As Judged From thePastWeek's
Trade Reports
WHEN CAREFULLY COMPILED
FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF READ-ERS
OF THE JOURNAL.
A Marked Feature Was the Activity in
the Distribution of Merchandise as Re-flected
in the Oalns of Almost Fifty per
Cent, in the New York Bank Clearing-s
as Compared With the Same Week a
Year Ag:o.
The tone of general busenesa was bet-ter
the past week. Marked activity in
the distribution of merchandise is re
fleeted in the gains of 45.9 per cent, in
bank clearings at New York compared
with 1900 and 20.8 per cent, over 1899,
with gains of 18.5 and 10.8 for the same
periods at leading cities outside New
York. Even the textile markets show
pronounced gain. Activity in the metals
division has taken pig iron production
to near record figures, and some dealers
don’t see how production of partly fin
ished forms this year is to be made to
meet the demand. The government re
port of the condition of wheat on April
1 is the surest possible basis upon which
expectation of continued commercial
prosperity could be founded. String
ency of money is largely local in New
York, and does not alter reports from
most of the larger cities of favorable
conditions in collections. Railroad
earnings in March were 7.4 per cent
larger than last year, and 82.4 per cent
over 1899, according to practically com-plete
returns.
Pig iron production on April 1, accord-to
the Iron Age, was at the rate of 29(1,
076 tons weekly. This quantity has
been exceeded twice in the history of
the industry. On December 1, 1899,
when 296,569 tons were produced, and
on February 1, 1900, when the output
was 298,014 tons. The remarkable
feature of the situation is the decrease
of 69,568 tons in furnace stocks during
March in the face of this enormous pro
dnetion, while in six months the loss in
supply amounted to 208,656 tons. Quo-tations
are generally steady in all forms,
except plates, on which $2 a ton more
is demanded without restricting pur-chases.
Contracts for the delivery of
pig iron don’t as a rule extend beyond
the end of this month, and furnace
stocks cannot be expected to continue
decreasing unless new business comes
forward, for many furnaces have gone
into blast since the month opened, and
production on May 1 will probably be
at a new high record.
Speculation has been unusually heavy
in foodstuffs, the market averaging over
two million bushels of wheat daily.
Prices receded sharply from the top
point of two weeks ago, wheat losing
about 4 cents for spot.
Large producers of footwear in New
England are still doing a good business
with sufficient orders to insure full time
at the shops for a month or more. Ex-pected
concessions in prices by smaller
makers have commenced, moderately
large contracts for split kip and grain
boots being secured at 2J cents reduc-tions.
Shipments from Boston continue
to show a good gain over last year’s
figures.
In the face of recent reductions in
prices of rubber goods, the raw material
has advanced to 86 cents. Textile fabrics
are in better position, although irn
proyement is slight and confined to a
few special lines. At eastern wool mar-kets
manufacturers have taken sufficient
new material of late to indicate better
orders for goods, and news from the
west suggests that ranch owners are go
ing to hold for better prices than now
prevail. In the cotton goods division
there has been more buying for China,
while spring drygoods opening make
encouraging exhibits. The raw mate
rial lost most of last week's gain, specu-lators
making no resistance to the
weakening influence of larger receipts
and lighter exports than a year ago.
In silk goods more activity is reported,
and another trifling advance occurred
in raw material.
Failures for the week were 203 in the
United States against 193 last year, and
24 in Canada against 41 last year.

APPETITES
Created and Maintained
by Vinol.
THAT THE FOOD IS DIGEST-ED
IS ASL0 EQUALLY
NECESSARY.
We Recommend Vinol as an
Appetite Creator.
WE GUARANTEE THAT VINOL
WILL AID DIGESTION.
Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion
that we have ever known.
It is because Vinol acts so beneficially
upon the stomach that it accomplishes
so much good.
Vinol contains the active curative
principles that are found in cod-liver
oil. without nny oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act so
favorably upon the stomach, that this
organ obtains for itself the elements
necessary forcreatingnew flesh, muscle
tissue and for making rich red blood.
When the stomach acts easily and
naturally, a desire is created for good
simple food and a good appetite is the
sure result.
With eod-liver oil as formerly taken
the medicinal elements which it, con-tained
were too often unable to
counteract the barm that was done by
the obnoxious grease that enveloped
them.
Now that in Vinol we have those
same elements separated from the vile-tasting
fat, we have a tonic and re-builder
that is simply marvelous in its
action.
The following is a letter that will ex-plain
itself:
“ This is to certify that I have used
six bottles of Vinol, and have found it
of great value as an appetizer and
tonic in general debility. I have re-ceived
so much benefit from its use
that I gladly furnish this testimonial
in order that others may be induced to
give it a trial and prove to themselves
its recuperative powers.”—MRS. ELIZ-ABETH
FEENEY, Waterbury, Conn.
We want every one in this place to
know more about our Vinol, how it
cures and what It cures. Certainly
the greatest tonic and rebullder we
have ever sold.
We, therefore, cordially invite any
one Interested to call upon us; and
we want all to bear in mind that we
will gladly refund to any one who is
not satisfied with the action of Vinol
every cent they pay for It.

HELP THE FIREMEN.
The Mount Pleasant Fire Department
will hold its annnal benefit show in the
Grand Opera House Friday and Satnr
day evenings of next week, April 26th
and 27th. That most famous war
drama, "The Drummer Boy of Shiloh,"
is the play that will be produced under
the personal management of Mr. Fred
B. Wigle, its owner, who will also take
one of the principal parts. With this
clever actor and some three score of the
best local theatrical talent, the atten-dance
should be limited only by the
capacity of the house.
There is nothing small or mean about
these generous laddies of ours. A year
ago they got up a similar performance,
but, through poor management, for
which they were in no way responsible,
they made little or nothing. That,
however, made no difference to them as
they took their bumps good naturedly
and have since always stood ready, day
or night, to do theis best to save your
property from fire, and that, too, with-out
even hope of reward. They now
seek needed aid for better equipment.
Every property owner in the borough is
indebted to them for this protection.
Help the Firemen.
RECORDERSHIP AFTERMATH.
Governor Stone's appointment of Ma-jor
A. M. Brown as Pittsburg's Recorder
under that city's new charter, whose
constitutionality is yet to be passed on
by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
still forms an interesting subject for
those who take pleasure in figuring out
political problems.
The solution arrived at by those whose
position gives them many advantages
for learning the whys aud wherefores is
that the Governor and his Attorney
General and would-be successor, Mr.
Elkin, left the Quay nest long enough
to do a little flying on their own acconnt.
Mr. Quay's choice and the logical man
for the place, Mr. Thomas Bigelow, was
turned down in favor of the Major, who,
however, was no party to the deal
whereby Messrs. Stone aud Elkin ex-pect
to get the Bolid Allegheny county
delegation. Mr. Elkin, it will be re-membered,
wants to succeed Governor
Stone whose feet itch for Mr. Quay’s
senatorial shoes.
It would seem from this that the "Old
Man" was simply dealt out of the re-cordership
game and, if this prove true,
the dealers will ere long find that they
have made a very bad play, one, in fact,
that bids fair to shelve both of them.
MRS. NATION'S MISTAKE.
Mrs. Carrie Nation, the champion
hatchet wielder of Kansas, was fined
$500 by Police Judge McMuley, at Kan-sas
City, Missouri, Monday morning
and given the alternative of leaving
town before (! p. m. She was arraigned
on a charge of blockading the street.
Addressing Mrs. Nation the judge said;
“Missouri is no place for you. Mis-souri
is not a good state for short-haired
women, long-haired men or whistling
girls.”
Mrs. Nation agreed to leave town, and
15 minutes later boarded a street car for
Kansas City, Kansas, doubtless regret-ting
the mistake she made in attempt-ing
her nonsense outside the limits of
her native state.
THE BURGLARS' DESERTS.
A week ago today Pittsburg was
shocked by a series of tragedies that are
without a parallel in that city’s erim-inal
records. Early that morning
Thomas D. Kahney, a Mt. Washington
grocer, who formerly lived at Salts-bnrg,
was shot dead as he rushed to the
assistance of his wife whom one of three
burglars was trying to chloroform as
she lay sleeping with a little son in an
adjoining room.
Twelve hours later the detective force
arrested two of the suspected gang
without trouble, the prisoners giving
their names as Robert Wilson and John
Wilson, alias John Wright. Thelatter’s
brother, Edward Biddle, alias Edward
Wright, showed fight and did kill De-tective
P. E. Fitzgerald before he sur-rendered
after having been himself se-verely
wounded.
With the cases cited as the climax to
a series of bold Allegheny county rob-beries,
Representative T. J. Ford has
been given a bill to introduce in
this session of the Legislature making
burglary, where direct proof is obtained
and in eases where a burglar is arrested
in or near premises with weapons in
his pockets, a capital crime, punished
with death by hanging. And there are
certainly good reasons why it should be-come
a law.
The man who enters a honse where
innocent people are peacefully slumber-ing,
with the intention of killing If de
tected or an attempt made to catch him,
is a far more dangerous criminal than
the man who, in anger or from revenge,
shoots to kill. The other one is not a
born criminal thirsting for some other
person's cash even if he has to take life
to get it and escape; but, the man who,
with revolver in hand, invades the sanc-tity
of a private house, especially, is
guilty of the vilest intentions, and this
should constitute a capital crime.
THE owners or lessees of enclosed land
in this state, under the recent act of the
Legislature, are permitted to kill hare
or rabbits at any time for their own
protection, but not for sale. This is a
sensible measure even if it is a trifle
hard on the cotton tails.
THE Fayette court doesn't mince mat
ters when it comes to telling hotel keep-ers
over that way what they must do
for the traveling public in the way of
good tables and rooms. Too much at
tention is paid to bars over there just as
is done in this county.
THE JOURNAL trusts there will be an
early and amicable settlement of the
labor trouble at the Erst End glnss fac-tory
which is too good an institution
for Mount Pleasant to have it make any-thing
but full time.
SOOTTDALE streets are in darkness as
Council is deadlocked over the renewal
of the electric light contract. It’s hard
to imagine a case of this kind where
both sides mean to be fair.
THE Morgon combine's coke interests
could not have been put in more capable
hands than those of Mr. Lynch who
knows all about the business.
WITH the return of natural gas here
consumers cannot exercise too great
care in the examination of all connec-tions.
Leaky pipes are full of danger.
THE absence of a divorce from her
convict husband gives a very serious
turn to the charges against Mrs. Wil-trout
as well as Constable Curry.
THE HONORABLE MR. BROWN is a
smooth article in politics, but, he will
likely find his match in the Honorable
Mr. Beacom.
His second conference with Colonel
Guffey certainly seems to indicate Mr.
Quay’s ballot reform honesty.
LEGISLATION against the company
store will be successful only when there
is no right of private contract.

ALMOST FATAL MISTAKE.
A Woman Uses Arsenic For Flour to Fry
Fish.
A number of gnests at a party given
the other evening at the home of Henry
White, near Latrobe. were taken vio-lently
ill, requiring the attention of
several doctors. The affair was shroud-ed
in mystery until Mrs. White was
able to get around and investigate
matters.
The old lady found in the pantry a
dish containing almost a pound of ar-senic,
which had been bought for the
purpose of killing rats. The dish was
an heirloom of peculiar disign and the
arsenic was placed in it to guard against
its being mistaken for anything else.
One of the women who prepared dinner
thonght it was flour and rolled fish in it,
preparatory to cooking, and those who
were bidden to the feast ate a sufficient
quantity of arsenic to have killed 50
people.

THE PROPER WAY TO CUT WAISTS
AND SKIRTS.
1'fritnlla Npi'ramury For Snppfaafnl
II itm r DrrNNiitftklllK — The l.tntilK*
Should lie New—The {Material Re-quired.
[ItopyrlRht, 1901, by American 1’resa AMOciatlon.]
The home riressmnker must have the
Fame utensils ns the regular dress-maker
If she would have the same
success. No one can cut right with-out
good scissors nor measure without
n tapellnc, nor can she make the seams
look right without a heavy pressing
Iron. A low table to bring up In front
of her and even over her knees In bast-ing
and laying of trimmings is neces-sary;
also one of those funny little
things more like half a barrel stave
than anything intended for pressing
sleeves and collars. The most of our
Rome dressmakers have dress forms,
made of tin covered with black cloth,
and these are a great help, as they can
be adjusted to each tigure much ns
shoemakers make a last. This does
away with much wearisome fitting, as
the form takes the [dace of the woman
for whom the dress Is being made, and
It can be stood on a low table and
draped and finished without tiring the
dressmaker.
To have a waist or skirt look just
right all the linings must lie new. It
Is a false economy to try to save by
using an old lining, even if it does look
strong. It is like putting new wine
In old bottles.
For waists there is a pretty lining.
White or light gray on one side ami fig-ured
on the other. Also tills conies
with tlie outside black. Mercerized
pateen Is used now almost exclusively
for skirts and sleeves, except where
Bilk is preferred, lint a cloth or other
heavy woolen material wears so much
longer than the taffetas that it is far
better to use one of the cotton linings.
Then one can have a silk petticoat
which can be worn with nil dresses.
The mercerized linings have been
brought to great perfection.
It requires one yard and three-fourths
to make a tight waist of any goods 44
inches wide. Many of the wools nre
now produced in til) Inch widths. This
Is to allow of cutting skirts in three
pieces.
In these days of excellent patterns, to
be found In every village and city, It Is
not necessary to tell how to draft a
waist lining, and so only reference will
be made to the diagram in tills column.
It consists of four pieces—viz, front-side
body, back and underarm piece.
The line across the bottom shows
where it may be shortened if neces-sary.
All the seams can be made to fit
by “taking them in,” ns the case may
demand. All the fine silk separate
’ waists have a tight lining, and all the
Beams are staid with featherbone
casings. These are ready to sew to the
seams and are covered with silk ribbon
or cotton tape, according to the desire
of the purchaser, but both have the
same strength, only the silk is dearer.
To apply this for a silk waist the seams
should be fitted to the body, and all
except the underarm seams sewed with
the featherbone, which can be done by
WAIST MODEL.
the sewing machine, right through the
center. This saves an incredible
amount of difficult work, and the stays
are thus as firm as the lining is flex-ible
and never rip loose, like whale-bone.
When these are ail done, the
outside is to be put on. This may be
tucked, shirred or simply gathered,
leaving the finishing touches to be add-ed
after the rest is doue, and this is in
such cases accomplished with lace of
Borne kind. The prettiest back for a
Bilk waist is to have a very few gathers
right in flie center of the back at the
waist line. The underarm piece Is cov-ered
with the dress material or the
stuff, whatever it may be, for the
waist, and the four back pieces are
sewed and boned, after which the silk
is basted closely all around, save under
the arms. The material is then cut
and is made three inches wider than
the lining at the bottom and one inch
at the shoulders. This is then gathered
at the center of the bottom of the back
and basted down to the lining firmly.
The fronts are treated in the same
way, only three Inches should be al-lowed
on each side. A fold one and a
half Inches deep Is to be laid along the
floats at each side. The whole is to be
basted together and gathers run in at
the bottom of the waist and this basted
firmly. If the waist Is to be bloused,
the bottom of the two froDts should be
sloped down from nothing to three
Inches at the front. This Is then
brought up and basted to the lining.
This has to be done on the lady or on
tier molded form.
The waist is now ready to sew up,
and all the side seams are solidly done
and boned. Some dressmakers put a
line of the special featherbone around
the bottom, as It holds It firmly and
smoother than any amount of stitching
could do. OLIVE HAKPEB.

"A gentleman, sir."
“Is he still in the room?”
"No. sir. lie Immleil it to me ns lie
was going but.”
“Do you know him nt nil?”
“No, sir; not tlint I know of."
“Do you remember wlmt he was
like?”
For n moment or I wo the man wnrlly
jcratehed n dark chin.
"Can't sny that I do, sir, though I
rather fancy he was a foreign gent.”
"Thanks.”
The description was quite sufficient.
“Foreign gent" was near enough to
(tie mark. The waiter would hardly
distinguish his nationality nt a glance.
“Strange,” snhl my uncle ns the man
departed with a load of empty dishes,
"that we, the superior animals, should
he so utterly lacking In Instinct. We
have evidently been within touch of
»ur esteemed Wentworth and yet had
no suspicion of It. An animal would
have smelt danger; a man blunders
Into it. Yet the one has only Instinct,
the other reason. A pretty question,
Davie: Has our Intellect blunted our
instinct ?”
I believed It had, but I was in no
mood to continue this plillosof 11.' vein.
When he took that calm, rational view
of abstruse problems, he was getting
dangerous.
“The time has come for us to make
a move,” lie said. “The police regard
us more or less suspiciously. The mur-der
of Mr. Illlbury Is a thing of the
past. The verdict has gone forth—
murder against some person or persons
unknown. It Is but one more mystery
added to the many. Some even have no
doubt that It was a case of suicide,
their efforts to trace the perpetrator
having signally failed. Hut we know,
and we must act. accordingly. I admit
I was not without hope that the socie-ty,
having left us so long in peace, had
at last grown weary of revenge; but
this night's business has entirely dissi-pated
that hope. Whether they mean
to strike or merely to torture I cannot
say, but one thing I know—1 uin weary
to death of this awful liiuuuer of liv-ing."
“What do you propose by way of
remedy?”
lie paused, the attitude of the waiter
arresting his attention. He called to
him and sent him for fresh liqueurs. I
opened my eyes, ,11m smiled.
“I don’t know, of course, hut one
can't he too careful. The fellow has an
ugly jaw anyway, and he seemed to lis-ten
rather attentively.”
I sighed. It was awful, this fear of
every shadow.
“Yes,” be continued, “It's rather un-pleasant,
Isn't It? In fact, It's become
unbearable.”
“It has long been so to me."
“And to me, and wluit Is more, it all
appears so hopeless. I have no wish to
frighten you, Dnvle, but bow Is it go-ing
to end?”
1 feared it could only end one way,
and I said so.
“In the triumph of our enemies? 1
believe so too. 1 have long believed It.
Police have failed, we have failed, but
the soriety never falls. It can be baf-fled,
kept at bay, but it has iniinite pa-tience
and a long purse. I tell you can-didly,
Davie, I am beginning to fear it;
fear it, that is, in a manner that never
appealed to me before. There Is evi-dently
no security for us in England.
We must go abroad.” This he said with
a look which was half an interroga-tion.
“Willingly," I said, “but will our go-ing
abroad aid us? And where shall
we go?”
I put this Inst question not without a
certain Inward suspicion, for I had not
forgotten bis wish, which I knew was
not dead, though It had lain dormant
so long, of bearding the lion in his den.
“You know,” he replied, “I huve al-ways
rather fancied that your father
was guilty of a piece of good sense
when be suggested that we should
seek Ivung in his native land, and you
know that wisdom Is a thing I have
never accused him of before. To my
thinking the very daring of the object
is almost an inspiration, dangerous as
It undoubtedly will he. If we can on-ly
give Wooching the slip”—
“Easier said than done.”
“Precisely, hut that is no reason
why we should not try. Hitherto our
open manner of living has taxed his
cleverness in no way. He lins known
where to And us without the trouble
of looking. Though you are Inclined
not to think so, I can assure you that
human Ingenuity is not infallible.”
Truth to tell, the Idea appealed to
me strongly. Though to him I had not
broached the subject for some time, I
had thought none the less of this going
to China. The awful restlessness and ■
Irritation caused by the yellow man’s ■
esDlonacc had bred In me a feeling I

much akin to despair, and II was this
despair which stiffened my hack and
added a certain recklessness to my
spirit. And. as my uncle had said,

would bring us face to face. But in

lie looked at me to see how I took
his words and, perceiving an encour-aging
sign, continued:
“Believe me, Davie, the time hns
come for us to strike out.”
We talked, I should think, for nearly
an hour, during which we assiduously
plodded through our second cigar. Up-on
one point we were resolved, we
must leave London, and secretly. Rut
how? There we stopped In spite of a
score of Ingenious plans. In fact, we
stopped at the very beginning of them,
for It was there we experienced the In-superable
difficulty. How were we to
elude the vigilance of the society?
CHAPTER XVII.
ITOW WF, LEFT LONDON.
We left the restaurant, and, having
nothing else to do, like so many more
unfortunate fellows about town, we
wended our way eastward to Leices-ter
square and entered the gaudy tem-ple
of pleasure where I had first met
Mr. Wentworth. Here, shortly after
our arrival, we encountered a rather
highly placed official, the same gcnllc-man
with whom my uncle had former-ly
discussed the probabilities of a cer-tain
theatrical venture. That the inci-dent
had not been forgotten I very
quickly learned, for the Individual in
question at once Invited us to his pri-vate
sanctum, mentioning by the way
that the affair hud taken sundry new
developments.
Of that conversation and those devel-opments
I have nothing to sny, ns they
don’t concern us, but that chance meet-ing
with the manager and our Intro-duction
to his sanctum gave us the
very Idea for which we had so racked
our brains.
On a table facing us lay several prop-erties
in the shape of wigs for men aud
women and sundry other accessories
of the stage. The manager, whose
generosity wns never in doubt, nftpr
maintaining a brisk conversation with
my uncle for some five minutes or so,
wns suddenly called awny, and Jim
and I were left with nothing more to
do than Inspect the portraits of the
pretty women which were scattered so
profusely about the room. I frankly
admit that I found the gallery of ce-lebrities
somewhat Interesting, hut not
so my uncle. He had gone over to the
table the better to Inspect the wigs,
and presently an ejaculation of ills
wheeled me round.
He was standing, looking my way, a
curious smile playing about Ids mouth
and brightening his eyes. In his hand
he dangled that which 1 nt lirst took
to he a wig, hut which upon a closer
scrutiny proved to be a false heard
and mustache.
“Davie, what do you think of this?”
He put the question almost gloating-ly,
a humor I failed to comprehend.
What did I think of It? Why, what
could anybody think of It but what It
was obviously intended for?
“Can you guesH Its use?”
“I think so."
It seemed to me that this required no
prodigious strain on the intellect.
“Then what do you think of the
idea?”
I confess his mysterious language
puzzled me, and no doubt my face.re-flected
somewhat the state of my mind,
for, ns if reading my thoughts, he Im-mediately
tlxed the heard on his face,
nnd, lo! a perfect stranger stood before
“Wonderful!” I said. “Wlmt a trans-formation!”
“Yes,” he replied. “I believe it will
puzzle even our friends.”
His meaning was no longer obscure.
1 grasped the idea with avidity.
“Excellent. I should never know
you. Lend it to me.”
1 took the beard from him and, ad-justing
It to my face, which at that
period wns entirely clean shaved, look-ed
at myself in a mirror. The change
was startling In the extreme. A man
of about 40 stared at me from the
glass. Even the eyes were those of a
stranger.
“Admirable!” cried my uncle. “I
should pass you by in the street. We
must try the effect of this upon our
friend Wooching.”
But as I laid the disguise aside I still
saw many dangers abroad. It was one
thing to adorn ourselves here in the
privacy of the manager’s room, but it
was quite another to set out secretly
from Dover street. This I was not
slow to mention, and for the moment It
staggered Jim, and something like a
desperate look of hopelessness racked
his face. But presently his brows con-1
tractcd, nnd lie threw"bnck Ills head, a
hnblt of his when acting upon a sud-den
resolve.
“We must go hack to Dover street.”
lb1 saw my look of amazement and
continued:
“To go back, I take It, would be a su-premo
act of folly. Then* would then
be mil the slightest hope of escaping
the watchers. The present affords the
very opportunity we require. My dear
Davie, after all we are not without
some luck.”
"Explain.”
"We will borrow these disguises
from our esteemed friend the manager,
who at the present moment for certain
reasons of his own Is Inclined to be ex-ceedingly
friendly, make our way out
through the slugo door nnd take the

"A pretty Idea. But what nbout
preparations for the trip?”
"This Is no time for preparations. I
have enough money on me to take us
over. Once there 1 shall communicate
with my bankers. Whut do you think
of the plan?”
I thought It excellent, though 1 had
some doubt as to its efficacy. Howev-er,
that was in the bunds of* chance,
and 1 wns fast reaching I bill state of
helplessness which reposes Increased
coiilldcnce In the powers of Provi-dence.
Soon after Ibis the manager returned
full of lln* most profuse apologies for
the length of his absence, an absence,
by the way, which had not been quite
so dreary to us ns lie seemed to Im-agine.
Then, after some skillful fenc-ing
on the part of my uncle, which,
considering the Issue at stake, consid-erably
Impressed me with his power of
restraint, lie branched the subject of
In his hand he dnnqlcd a false heard and

the disguises, and, as he had foreseen,
the manager was only too willing to
prove his good will.
“But there is something more,” quoth
Jim, looking mighty knowing, I
thought. “We want to disguise our-selves
here and go out through your
Stage door.”
“Why, certainly,” was the reply.
Then, with a smile, “You haven’t been
doing anything, eh?”
“Nothing very had, believe me. But
we are going somewhere, and we want
to surprise somebody. You shall have
the properties back in a day or two
without fail.”
“Covent Garden, my dear old hoy?”
he added familiarly, with a chuckle.
“Don’t liurry yourself in the least. I
hope we shan’t want them for the next
three months.”
Thanks to his aid, the bonrds were
satisfactorily adjusted, and he, experi-enced
hand as he was, expressed him-self
delighted with the transformation.
He then led *«s on to the stage, past
many highly interesting females in
gaudy costumes who were huddled In
groups at the wings, and presently we
emerged into the comparative gloom of
a side street. This we traversed swift-ly
and a little further on hailed a pass-ing
cab, into which we sprang, direct-ing
the driver toward a well known
house in the Strand.
“So far so good,” snkl my uncle,
throwing himself back with a sigh of
relief as the hansom dashed off. “I
think we have managed It all right this
time.”
I thought so, too, for though I had
carefully scrutinized the street into
which the stage door led I had seen
absolutely nothing of a suspicious na-ture.
That he had not his words pro-claimed.
In the hack parlor of a bar off the
Strand we made our arrangements.
First a time table was called for, and
after discovering the hour of departure
Jim added a £5 note to my little store
with which I was to purchase my own
ticket, for even yet we were not sure
that our enemies would not be on the
wntcl). Then we went out separately,
enjoining each other not to leave the
crowded thoroughfare upon any pre-tense
whatever.
I lit a cigar and strolled up one side
of the Strand and then down the other,
my thoughts full of onr projected flight.
A strange adventure was this, and we
were setting out upon it most strange-ly,
clad as we were in evening dress
and top liats. Fortunately the evening
being a hit chilly we had worn our
heavier overcoats. Without these I
don’t know how it would have been
possible to undertake the trip at all.
