WEIL KNOWN
YOUNG COUPLE
ARE SEPARATED
And a Bitter Family Fight is
the Consequence.
VINTON ANDREWS AND WIFE LEADERS
BUT THE FORMER'S FATHER AND LAT-TER’S
BROTHERS ARE INVOLVED.
The Messrs. Andrews are Fined $10
and Costs Each at Greensburg by
Humane Agent Cline for Alleged
Cruelty to the Son’s Children, but
Appeal to Court. Then Young Mrs.
Andrews and two of Her Brothers
Come After Household Goods and
there is More Trouble in Which
Mayor Crosby takes a Hand.
Trouble has broken out afresh in the
family of Vinton Andrews who until re-cently
lived with his wife and four lit-tle
children on the hill on West Miin
street. The young couple couldn't agree
and finally separated, she taking the two
younger children and going back to the
Iron Bridge home of her father, Eli
Crosby, leaving the two older boys with
their father and grandfather, J. B. An-drews,
against whom a week ago today
Humane Agent Cline, on information
received, made charges of cruelty to the
children before Justice Truxal at Greens-burg,
claiming the little ones had been
locked up in a room away from their
mother.
The hearing in this case was held at
the county seat Saturday evening, the
Messrs. Andrews taking a number of
witnesses along from here to show that
their treatment of the lads had always
been kind. Mrs. Andrews was also
present and the proceedings were full of
life. Justice Truxal fined the defendants
each $10 and costs, from which, how-ever,
they promptly appealed to court.
Mrs. Andrews, two of her brothers and
a brother-in-law, G. M. Deihl, came up
Monday and attempted to remove
some goods from the house. The hus-band
and his father intered and the
biggest kind of a rumpus followed, re-sulting
in the participants all being ar-rested
by the police and taken before
Mayor Crosby. The elder Mr. Andrews
was fined $10 and costs as it seems he
had a revolver. Three of the men got
off with $5 fine each, while Mrs. An-drews's
bill was but $2. The defendants
were all released upon payment of the
various sums charged against them.
The elder Mr. Andrews hustled oft to
Greensburg the next day and entered
suits for assault and battery against his
daughter-in-law and her two brothers
while Mr. Diehl brought a cross suit
against the two Andrew men the same
day before Justice Eicher at Scottdale.
Both these cases will likely be taken to
court.

Ex-Chief of Police Henry Witt Serves as a
Target at Bridgeport.
Ex-Chief of Police Henry Witt, of this
place, had a close call Saturday night
while serving as a special officer for the
Hotel Dalton at Bridgeport where he
served as a human target for James Sul-lenberger,
a young man there, who took
four cracks with a revolver at that well
known officer and then beat the victim
out in a foot race for freedom.
Three of the bullets made harmless
holes through Henry's coat, while the
fourth would likely have put the wear-er's
light out had it not struck his watch
and glanced, scoring the abdomeh but
doing no serious injury. William Lent,
who was standing nearby while the
shooting match was on, had two holes
put in his pantaloons by the flying bul-lets.
It is said that young Sullenberger had
it in for Witt because of his arrest here
at the latter's hands several years ago.

Miller in the most pleasant manner in

along in abundance. It is needless to
add that Mrs. Miller made a very will-ing
victim.

COKE AND COAL.
Items of Interest Gathered From Both
Mine and Yard.
Samuel Barnhart has sold the coal un-der
his Hempfield township farm, 175
acres, to the Jamison Coal & Coke Com-pany
for $1,000 an acre.
Contractor Charles Bossart, of this
place, has begun the erection of 30 coke
ovens for the Brush Run Coal Company.

C. Bossart.
Through the efforts of Representatives
Boyd, of Westmoreland, and Carroll, of
Fayette, the Howard bill, placing a tax
of one-half cent a ton on bituminous and
three cents a ton on anthracite coal, was
so amended as to eliminate the tax on
bituminous. When the measure came
up for second reading Mr. Boyd offered
an amendment wiping out entirely the
clause specifying the tax on bituminous
coal. It was adopted with a few dis-senting
votes.
The Westmoreland Coal Company has
established a new position, that of Su-pervisor
of Mines, and appointed John
McLain, superintendent at Export, to
fill it. John S. McLain, Jr., got the Export
vacancy as outside foreman.

at Scottdale last Wednesday eve-ning
decided to hold its first annual
outing, the time and place to be chosen
at a future meeting.

| townships, this county, have brought a
I suit in equity against the Lacolle Coal &
Coke Company to annul options they

is claimed payments were not made as
per agreement.
The commissioners have fixed the val-uation
of coal in Fayette county at $325
per acre in the old coke region with no
reduction for what is mined or $350 per
acre for actual amount of coal unmined.
The rates in the Klondyke district are
$275 and $300, respectively.
One of the proudest men in the H. C,
Frick Coke Company's employ is Geo.
A. Hahn, of this place, engineer in charge
of the Scottdale division. The stork
brought him and,his young wife a son
and heir Tuesday.
HAPPY TIME AT OLD BETHANY YESTERDAY
When Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Blystone Celebrated the Fiftieth
Anniversary of Their Marriage with Their Children to the
Third Generation and a Goodly Number of Friends.
BUT ONE GUEST OE FIRST CEREMONY SURVIVES.
There was a happy time at Old Beth-any
yesterday when Mr. and Mrs. Jacob
Blystone celebrated the fiftieth anniver
sary of their marriage with their chil-dren
to the third generation and a good-ly
number of neighbors and old friends
who bore the well-preserved and jolly
celebrants many good gifts and were in
turn dined and otherwise entertained in
a manner befitting the great township of
East Huntingdon.
It was close to the scene of yesterday’s
festivity that young Mr. Blystone, on
April 17, 1857, took for his bride Miss
Elizabeth Tarr, a fair neighbor girl and
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Collin Tarr.
Her parents being dead at the time, the
ceremony took place at the home of
Miss Tarr’s brother, Daniel B. Tarr, and
was performed by the late Justice ot the
Peace John M. Loucks in the presence
of some thirty relatives and friends of
the principals. The attendants were
John T. Tarr, now of this place, and
Miss Rosanna Yont, an intimate friend
of the bride. In the half century all the
guests on that occasion have passed to
the other side with the single exception
of the groomsman, Mr. Tarr, who was
out at yesterday’s celebration with his
wife and was one of "the biggest toads
in the puddle."
There were born Mr. and Mrs. Blystone
nine children, ot whom eight survive
and were at the old homestead yester-day
with their children and grandchil-dren.
They are: Mrs. James Baldwin,
of this place; Mrs. J. H. Abbott, of Pit-cairn;
Elmer Blystone, of Braddock;Mrs.
Jacob Miller, of this place; Jacob Bly-stone,
of Central; Irwin Blystone, of Do-nora;
Griffith Blystone, of Pitcairn, and
Walter Blystone, of Old Bethany. One
son, John, died when in his teens. There
are 26 grandchildren and 16 great grand-children.
DEATHS OF THE WEEK.
Colonel Barnett Resigns.
James E. Barnett on Monday last from
headquarters at Washington, Pa., for-warded
Adjutant General Stewart his
resignation as commander of the Tenth
Regiment, National Guard of Pennsyl-vania,
after 23 years of. continuous ser-vice.
He was first lieutenant of Com-pany
H when the regiment was called
out by a coke strike 19 years ago, was
lieutenant colonel when the same com-mand
went to the Philippines and suc-ceeded
Colonel Hawkins following the
latter's death on his return. Colonel
Barnett has had severe throat trouble
which is thought to have led to his re-tirement.
Major Dick Coulter, of Greens-burg,
will likely be his successor.
Faithful Worker Seeks Office.
R. D. Wolft, the well known newspa-per
man and lecturer of Greensburg, is a
candidate on the Republican ticket for
the nomination of Director of the
Poor. Mr. Wolff has been a hard worker
for his party for twenty years and never
before asked for an office. He will make
a splendid director if elected.
Popular Democratic Candidate.
The hosts of friends of William D.
Mullin, of this place, will be interested
to learn that he has come out as a candi-date
for Director of the Poor on the
Democratic ticket, an office no Mount
Pleasant member of that party ever held.
“Billy," as everybody calls him, has al-ways
been a faithful worker for the un-terrified,
but this is the first time he ever
asked anything for himself. THE JOUR-NAL
would like to see him elected as he
is not only competent but honest.
Summer Normal School.
Profs. L. C. Fausold and S. M. Ank-ney,

bably next fall.
Fine Local Theatrical Talent
The Young Men’s Branch of the St.
Joseph Literary Society gave the play,
“Falsely Accused,” at St. Joseph’s Hall
Friday evening before a delighted audi-ence.
The rector. Rev. Father O’Don-nell,
was so well pleased with the per-formance
that he will have the talented
young actors repeat it at some future
date.
Annoying Omission.
In copying the commencement pro-gram
for the schools of Mount Pleasant
township, to be given at the Kecksburg
Church of God Saturday next, the name
of Miss Ruth Lemmon, valedictorian at
the afternoon session, was omitted, re
quiring a new lot to be printed.
NEW ADDITON
TO BE MADE TO
MOUNT PLEASANT
By C. E. Mullin, the Well
Known Local Banker
WILL MAKE FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS
ON THE OLD JAMES NEEL FARM,,
ON THE NORTH SIDE.
Another Large Slice of That Pretty-
Place, That will be Known as Fair-view,
has Been Divided Into Fifty
Lots Which, Thrdugh Pittsburg
Real Estate Agents, will be Offered
to the Public Thursday, May 2nd.
Many JOURNAL readers will be inter-ested
to learn that C. E. Mullin, the lo-cal
banker, has decided to put on the
market in building lots another plot
from the James Neel farm. Brown &
Bannister, the well known real estate
developers, of Pittsburg, have been en-gaged
by him to develop the property
and conduct the sale. For ihe last week
expert engineers have been on the
property laying it off in 40 and 50 foot
lots, with wide streets and alleys.
The part of Mr. Mullin’s property to
be offered the public is that nearest
Main street, being but two blocks north.
Since Mr. Mullin and his associates sold
and so successfully developed their first
plan on Vine street, west of St. Clair
street, there has been a constant demand
for lots in other parts of the property.
So great has this demand become this
spring that the owner, through his
agents, will offer fifty of the most desir-able
lots at public auction, thus giving
everyone a chance to pick his home site
and that at his own price.
The date for the formal opening has
been set for Thursday, May 2nd. It might
also be said here that the hotels of
Mount Pleasant should take a tip in ad-vance
and be prepared for the big day.
The forecast for May 2nd is for the largest
crowd iu the town’s history of extension
movements. The unique methods of ad-vertising
employed by the managers of
the sale in exploiting the property and
the close proximity of the plan to the
center of the town assure a crowd and a
successful sale.
Mr. Mullin will call the new plan
Fairview, which is an ideal name for the
new addition and indeed means much to
those who have visited the property.
Mr. Mullin is too well known to local
people to need any introduction, while
the managers have an enviable reputa-tion
for fair dealing all over western
Pennsylvania, two features that forecast
for the sale such success as will speak
well both for the town and the manage-ment
of the sale.

This rhyme, popular with (lie chil-dren

by a remarkable accident ou the
Chota-Nagpur railway. In India, to u

Nagpur. The train left the first named
station at 8:20 p. m. There were three
or four passenger coaches and some
stone, lime, lac, hides, silk, eoeoous
and sabhol grass. There were also a
few pilgrims ou their way to l’url, the
city of Juggernaut.
All went well until Gollkera station
was passed, at 9:16. Four miles from
Gollkera the line passes through the
Saramla tunnel, and beyond this Is a
paradise of big game—elephant, tiger,
benr, bison, spotted deer and sumbhur.
From the tunnel the grade Is one In a

ou the opposite side of which is u high

Here Is the engineer's report of what
happened after the train left Gollkera:
“I was proceeding steadily down the
grade at thirty-seven miles an hour.
It was pitch dark as I ran through the
Baranda jungles.
‘•Immediately after I had crossed the
Karo bridge I felt a violent obstructive
shock. I tried to reverse and put on
my brakes. My engine kept the rails
at first, but a few seconds later she
was plowing her way through the loose
granite and providentially stopped
short on the very lip of a bank forty-five
feet high.
‘‘It was most fortunate that heavy
rains had been falling and the way
was very soft. So my engine bad no
sooner left the track than she was
plunged up to her axles in soft earth
and loose stones.
“I got down and groped my way
back to see what damage lmd been
done. Four cars, Including that of Mr.
FauIds, the deputy locomotive superin-tendent,
were also derailed, and our
brake van was badly smashed, as also
was one of the third class cars con-taining
pilgrims.
“Mr. Faulds joined me. and so did
our guard. We thought at first there
must be cattle on the line, but we
could see nothing. We procured lan-terns
and carefully examined the en-gine.
Suddenly I heard Mr. Faulds
cry:
“ ‘Why, what’s this?
‘‘He held In his hand a strip of ele-phant
skin. We plied our lanterns this
way and that and soon saw the huge
telltale pads everywhere. And we
found the spot where our enemy had
rolled over the bank after the tremen-dous

“These heavy jungles are full of
wild elephants, and the big tusker who
attacked us was evidently an outcast

houses and human life.

however, for he had done damage to

“I sent back word to Gollkera, six
miles away, and we soon had a gang
of recruits at work on the damaged
train. We chopped out the fallen mon-

Stick to the Handle
You get more fads about easy
running right at the crank of a sepa-tor
than by listening to tain. If a
separator turns easily, the crank
tells you so as soon as you touch it.
I am selling the lightest running
cream separator made—and it's the
best every way you look at it. It's
The Sharpless Tubular.
The Tubular is the cleanest skimming, most durable,
easiest to wash separator made. The waist low can saves
your back—the enclosed gears can’t pinch your fingers—
the self oiling device saves time, uses the oil over and over
and prevents dripping on machine or floor. The Tubular
skimmed 2$ to 9 times cleaner than any other In a National Clean
Skimming Contest.
The Tubular is a money-maker and a labor saver—it in-creases
the butter money 25 to 100 per cent, and lessens the
worn of handling milk about one half. Bring your wife in
to see it. She’ll say it is the easiest to wash. Let me give
you a catalogue with a lot of good things in it.

UNIQUE
AFFAIR
Will be the Sportsman’s Show to be
Held in Duquesne Garden, Pitts-burg,
April 24 to May 4th.
ATTRACTION WILL BEWITHOUT 1 PIRILLEL
Interest in the Pittsburg Sportsman’s Show to be held in Duquesne Gar-den,
Pittsburg, April 24th to May 4th, grows keener every day and with the
daily addition of new attractions, there will not be one nook or corner of the
immense garden which will not contain something to attract the eye of the
layman as well as the sportsman.
Days before the opening of the big show, Duquesne Garden will be
given over to a multitude of workmen who will convert it into one immense
forest, containing everything to be found in the woods of Maine, the Great
Lakes of the North, the limpid rivers of the South or the mountains of the
West. There will be on exhibition everything that haunts the wilds, species
of game from all parts of the North America-fish, birds; in fact outdoor life
will be pictured so true to nature that the thousands who will throng the “in-door
forest” on the opening night, April 24th, will imagine themselves trans-ported
to a land of animal haunts. There will be all kinds of aquatic sports
in addition to a rifle tournament under the auspices of the lronquois Hunting
Club, of Pittsburg.
PARTS STONE BEARD,
Wright Insists on
Whiskers Right on
Having His
Tombstone.
BARBER'S BILL IS $400.
W'rtlthiest Man In Putnam, Conn.,
Dreams He Cannot Enter Heaven
Unless His Graveyard Bust Looks
More Like Him.
Because lie dreamed that lie could
not outer heaven unless with his beard
parted on the bust on his $1,500 monu-ment
Phtneas Gardner Wright, said to
be the wealthiest man in Putnam,
Conn., has had a sculptor trim the
stone whiskers at an expense of $400.
Wright, who Is a bachelor, seventy-eight
years old, erected the monument
on his family plot In Grove cemetery
three years ago. It attracted much at-tention
because of the line he had In-scribed
upon the granite shaft just be-low
his bust, “Going, but know uot
where.” At the same time he had an
Immense grave dug and bricked up, he
said, so that the earth would not
crowd him and he would have enough
room In which to turn over and move
about, and with flat stones at the base
so that he could not Sink.
“Them's true words,” said Wright,
referring to the odd Inscription, “but
there ain’t many folk what’s got the
honesty or the courage to say the same
thing.” A short time ago Wright took
the notion of having a gas pipe placed
In the ground above his grave so that
there would be no difficulty in finding
the flat stone cover, but he concluded
that people would think he was try-ing
to get air after ho had been buried,
so he is having a five foot steel flag-staff.
with a banner bearing his name,
made to take its place, lie has placed
demijohns of gin and whisky in the
grave so that he will not be lonely.
Wright’s mother and sister are buried
in the plot, and their names, birth and
death dates, with those of his father,
who died at Stockton, Cal., in 1840
while gold hunting, are inscribed on
the monument. Wright .was born at
Fltzwllliam, N. II., April 3. 1820, and
two years later his parents came to
Connecticut. They were poor, and
PHINIAS O. WRIGHT AND HIS TOMBSTONE.
young Wright had to work hard. He
says he^broke his first earth for the
air line railroad.
Then he carried the hod for 75 cents
a day. After many years he got ahead
by buying lumber. He retired ten
years ago after he had Imassed a for-tune
of $125,000, Invested mostly In
real estate and mortgages. Wright
says he was disappointed In love forty
years ago, and he has written reams
5f poetry on the perfidy of woman.
He has provided that after his death
this additional Inscription shall be
placed upon his monument: "Never
beat by man, but by woman.”
Wright lives In a plain bouse with a
niece, Miss Etta Crane, twenty years
fold, daughter of William Crane, a
Hartford manufacturer.
She does the housework, shaves him,
cuts Ills hair and washes his face and
hands. She owns a $4,500 farm at El-lington,
nml Wright 1ms made a will
leaving all to her except $2,000 to the
Putnam Congregational church, be
cause ills mother attended it, and $2.
000 to the Putnam hospital. An old
monument, costing $(iuo. which the
present one displaced, he 1ms offoro 1
to the city for a soldiers’ monument
but it has not been accepted.
Wright’s occupation is given in the
Putnam city directory as “having no
business but to mind ids own.”
Threw Shoes at Congregation.
Daniel Bowers, son of Jacob Bowers,
said to be a wealthy farmer of Chester
county. Pa., created a panic during the
services in Grace Lutheran church.
Entering the pulpit, he removed his
overcoat and hat and tossed them at
the foot of tlie pulpit. Then he took
off his overshoes and flung them across
the church. Calmly facing the thunder-struck
congregation, he stood with his
arms folded. Services were suspend-ed,
and it required the efforts of a
policeman and several others to get
him to the lockup. Physicians declared
him demented.
Cremationists Dance to Buy Urns.
The Waterbury (Conn.) branch, No.
32, of the Cremation Association of
America gave H dance the other night
to provide for a sinking fund. At the
conclusion of the festivities It was an-nounced
enthusiastically by the presi-dent
that enough cash had been taken
In at the door to transform half a
dozen members Into ashes and buy
them fancy urns besides. The an-nouncement
was received with cheers.
The association will keep on dancing
until the future welfare of all the
members has been provided for.

Perfection in Gentlemen’s Clothes
Our clothing has this season been bettered at every point. Constant pro-gress
and advancement is the watchword here—this is necessary to maintain the
standard of superiority which we insist shall distinguish our garments. They
embody al1 the style and careful handwork of custom-tailored garments, yet they
are sold at popular prices.
Today we present one of the season’s most popular models—The new Schloss ’‘Royal’’
—a splendid design f ,r general wear. The style is one that is always “good form,’’ the
fabrics attractive and reliable and the tailoring unusually fine. You can get this style in
almost any weight, and, in the medium cloths, you will find it a very desirable Spring Suit.

THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, APRIL IR If*'7.
JOHN L. SHIELDS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER.
Subscription, $H.*50 « Year, Payable In rtdunnce
Mount Pleasant has within its borders a population of over
6,000; while more than double that number of people live immedi-ately
around about and for them it is the natural center, as shown by
a postoffice distribution of over 16,000 It has both Pennsylvania
and Baltimore & Ohio railroad branches and will soon be given the
main line of the Coke Region Trolley System. It is completely sur-rounded
by coke plants and has in the town Bryce Brothers Company’s
big tableware glass factory the Mount Pleasant Tool Company, Hus-band
Company’s planing mill. Galley Bros.’ carriage factory, foundry,
brewery, distillery, pop plant, two flouring mills, 13 Protestant and
8 Catholic churches. Mount Pleasant Institute, 2 large Public Schools
and 3 Parochial schools.
There is coal in abundance at the town’s gates and the same is
true of electricity and natural gas for heat, light and power. All of
which things, when taken In connection with the best water system
in Western Pennsylvania, make Mount Pleasant’s numerous manu-facturing
sites ideal.
THU R9DAY,
WELCOME SYMPATHY.
The Greensburg ‘‘Star,” in commenting
on onr miserable mail service and the
close fistedness of the government when
it comes to paying mail carriers, says:
“No wonder the people of Mount
Pleasant are kicking. That hustling
community is deserving of as much con-sideration
at the hands of the depart-ment
as any other and it is not getting
it. It is hardly fair that while other
towns are getting government buildings
to house the postoffices, Mount Pleasant
has to contribute to get the government
to deliver the mails.
“Routing the mails by trolley from
Greensburg would give Mount Pleasant
an excellent service and the town is cer-tainly
entitled to enough consideration
on the part of the postoffice department
to induce it to come to terms with the
trolley company. The West Penn Rail-ways
Company, in the interestsof Mount
Pleasant, should endeavor to meet the
postoffice authorities half way."
We can assure our esteemed contem
porary that its sympathy lor us is fully
appreciated, although it is but fair to the
trolley people to add that they went
more than half way in their efforts to
give us an improved mail service. They
are business people, however, and had
the right to expect fair pay for their
work. ^
STILL CAUSE FOR THANKS.
The new state capitol p obers visited
New York last week in order to examine
some of the sub-contractors, but those
Gothamites were very shy, failing to ap-pear
before the commission as it seems
that they have not even paid in full for
what they did and fear they might have
trouble collecting from Sanderson, the
main contractor, if they gave any trade
secrets away.
It is, however, interesting to note that
Mr. Sanderson, who had been staying
with his bride at SI erry's, a famous New
York hotel, left for parts unknown the
night before the commission arrived
there.
But so far from the taxpayers of Penn-sylvania
feeling badly about "Trimmer”
Sanderson and Architect Huston getting
more than half of the thirteen millions
the capitol trimmings cost, they should
feet thankful that they got oft so easily.
It is common report that had not the
Democrats elected Mr. Berry State Treas-urer,
the job was to cost $35,000,000!
MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL.
ConnelJsville school directors recently
paid the Manual Training Department
of the Scottdale public schools a visit
and were, it is said, very favorably im
April 18 1907
indebted for articles of food and that the
Department of Agriculture prepare sta-tistics
of the cost of producing food in
various parts of the state.
The need of more local producers is
strikingly emphasized by the discovery
that the prices of butter, cheese and
milk are regulated by a board of trade
in Elgin, 111., which is considered highly
detrimental to the interests of this state.
The practice of giving premiums and
trading stamps is found to have an effect
on prices because additional cost must
be added to pay for the premiums.
The suggestions of this committee, as
a whole, are so full of common sense as
to lead to the belief that remedial legis-lation
will follow indue course of time.
Odd Fellows Celebration.
Moss Rose Lodge, I. O. O. F., has ar-ranged
to observe the 88th anniversary
of the order in the Grand Opera House
on Friday evening, April 26. Invitations
are extended to lodges in Greensburg
Youngwood, Tarr and Scottdale. Presi-dent
Louis K. White, of the Grove City
Home for Aged Odd Fellows, will be
the principal speaker. A general invi-tation
to attend is extended to-the citi-zens
of Mount Pleasant.
Slavish Movement Denounced.
A thousand Hungarians from all parts
of Westean Pennsylvania held a meeting
at Connellsville Sunday afternoon in
retaliation for the one held at New Ha-ven
a week before by the Slovaks, when
the Slovaks complained of the persecu-tion
of their countrymen in Hungary by
the Austro Hungarian government. Fol-lowing
a parade and addresses by prom-inent
society leaders, resolutions were
adopted denouncing the movement be-gun
by the Slovaks.
New Rural Telephone Company.
The directors have called meetings cf
the Citizens Telephone Company to be
held at Mt. Joy school house on Mon-day
evening, April 22nd, at 7:30 o'clock
and at Carpenter’s school house on
Wednesday evening, April 24th, at the
same hour. All citizens who are in any
way interested in the construction and
maintenance of the telephone service in
or near these places are urged to attend.
Court House Rond Bale Closed.
Controller John D. Hitchman and
County Commissioners Shupe, Reamer
and Shaffer will likely leave Greensburg
today with the $1,000,000 worth of new
court house bonds and deliver the same
at Philadelphia to Newberger, Hender-son
Sc Loeb, the purchasers, who will
then turn over to the county something
like a sum of $1,020,000, the face of the
bonds, premium and accrued interest.
pressed with what they saw.
In this department are taught wood
working, mechanical drawing, painting
and sewing. This line of work was in-troduced
last fall at Scottdale and is
meeting with much success. Although
it has thus been in progress but a few
months, some very creditable results
have been obtained.
It might be well for the Mount Pleas-ant
Board of Education to look this
matter up, too; for, the proposed new
high school building would afford ideal
quarters for the institution of a manual
training department.
REASONS FOR HIGH FOOD PRICES.
The special committee of the Legisla-ture
that investigated the prices of food-stnfls
has reported through its chair-man,
Senator Charles H. Kline.
The remedial measures suggested for
high prices are that trolley companies
be permitted to carry freight so as to en-courage
the production of a larger food
supply for the home markets; that a
railroad commission be created with
power to enforce regulations to lessen
the charges for demurrage and storage in
cars; an anti-trading stamp law; regula-tion
of weights and measures; permission
to dealers to garnishee wages of persons
A Blue Law Pinches.
Fearing a repetition of the previous
week’s fines, the milkmen at Uniontown
strictly observed the Sunday law and

HIS BEST PLAYMATE.
I like to play with Cousin Frank and
Willie Watson, too,
And wouldn’t I be glad if I could do what
they can do!
My Cousin Frank can run as fast almost
as any man.
And very few can jump as higli as Wil-lie
Watson can,
But I can’t jump the way they do or
hardly run at all,
Because the nurse, when I was just a
baby, let me fall.
I can’t go out and hitch when sleighs are
goin* clown the street.
For boys can’t do t L so tilings unless
they’re lively on their feet.
But nearly every day or so v. iii.n snow Is
on the ground
My papa puts me on my si* d and takes
me all around
And prances like a horse and builds me
snow men out of snow,
And all th< time my papa he's the bestest
boy 1 know.
i Hi e to j ' y with other boys, they’re all
so kind to me,
And all t’ e to^-s they get they bring
around for me to see,
And one time when a boy who lives down
by th-- railroad track
Came past and called me names and said
I cl; ssen’t sass him bad:.
But when he saw I couldn’t walk it seem-ed
to make him sad,
And then he tried to give me all the mar-bles
that he had.
But when it’s Sunday mornin’ that’s the
best of all the days,
Because my papa always stays at home
with me and plays.
And nearly every game we have it hap-pens
that I beat,
And he p’tends he’s angry then and snvs
he thinks I cheat.
You couldn't hardly help but see he never
means it. though,
And papa he’s the bestest boy of all the
boys I know.
—Chicago Record-Herald.
What He Wanted Her to Do.
Six-year-old John was especially
Toud of gravy at the table. One day
John had been bad, and his mother
told him she did not care to have such
a bad boy; he might go out In the
wide, wide world, and she would get a
good boy. However, she said, she
would not send him entirely empty
handed, so she fixed him up a little
bundle, pretending to put in different
articles, such as clothing, food, etc.
John was told to kiss his sisters and
brothers goodby and go. He stood the
ordeal bravely, took his little bundle
and backed toward the door. With his
hand on the knob he turned to his
mother and asked:
“Mother, did you put gravy In my
bundle?”—Chicago Tribune.
The Specialist on Fits.
A physician who had been called to
see a patient, not being certain about
his diagnosis, looked very wise and
said to the family that he *would call
again the next day. But the next day
did not clear up matters any, so the
family became anxious for a cure.
The physician said that he could give
the patient something to give him fits.
“For,” he said, “I am the very deuce
fits.”—Judge’s Library.

THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, APHIL 18, 1^07
“During tin* night of July 21 when
midway between the Seilly isles and
the Fust net they ran into a dense fog.
IVithin five minutes, without the least
warning, the Esmeralda was struck
amidships by a big Nova Scotian bark. ,
The little vessel sank almost like a
stone. Nevertheless your father, hack-ed
by his skipper and a splendid crew,
lowered two boats, and nil hands wore
saved for the moment. It was Pyne’s
boast that his boats were always stored
with food and water against any kind
of emergency; but. of course, they
made every effort to reach the ship
which had sunk them rather than en-deavor
to sail back to this coast. As
the Esmeralda was under steam at the
time, her boilers exploded as she went
down, and this undoubtedly caused the
second catastrophe. The captain no-ticed
that the strange ship went off
close hn’uled to the wind, which blew
steadily from the west, so he, In the
leading boat, with your father and mo-ther.
you and my wife and child, fol-lowed
In that directibn. He shouted to
four men in the second boat to keep
close, as the fog was terrific. The
bark, the John S.. hearing the noise of
the bursting boilers, promptly swung
around, and in the effort to render as-sistance
caused the second and far
more serious catastrophe. The cap-tain’s
boat encountered her Just ns (he
two crafts were getting way on them.
Some one In (lie boat shouted, they
hoard an answering hail and instantly
crashed into the bark’s bows. The sail
became entangled in the martingale of
the bowsprit, the boat was driven un-der
and filled, and the second boat
crashed into her. All the occupants of
the captain's boat were thrown into the
sea. You were grasped'by a negro, a
powerful swimmer. He, with yourself
and two sailors, were rescued, and that
was all. Your father was a strong
man. and he could swim well. He
must have been stunned or injured in
some way. The two sailors jumped
from the second boat and clung to the
back’s bobstays. The whole thing was
over in a few seconds.”
Mr. Traill rose and paced slowly to
the window Pyne stared into the fire.
There was no need for either of them
to conjure up the heartrending scene
as the sharp prow of the sailing ship
cleft through the seas and spurned the
despairing hands clutching at her black
walls.
Too often had the older man pictured
that horrific vision. It had darkened
many hours, blurred many a forgetful
moment of pleasure with a quick rush
of pain.
Even now as he looked out into the
still street he fancied he could see
Enid’s motl»?r smiling at him from a
luminous must.
He passed a hand over his eyes and
gazed again at the moonlit roadway.
From tile black shadows opposite a
policeman crossed toward the hotel,
and he heard a bell ring. These triv-ial
tidings restored his wandering
thoughts. How the discovery of his
lost child had brought back a flood of
buried memories!
“It is easy to understand that I
should be fanciful tonight,” he said,
returning to the cheery glow of the
fire and the brightness of the room.
“The whole story of the disaster cen-tered
in the narratives of the sailors
and the negro. They all declared that
both boats went down. The crew of
the bark, who ran to starboard, as the
leading boat was swamped and sank
on that side. Imagined they heard cries
to port. But. though they lowered a
boat and cruised about the locality for
hours, they found nothing but wreck-age.
You, Charlie, when I went to St.
’John’s five weeks later, could only tell
me that you had felt very cold and
wet. That is all I ever knew of the
fate of the Esmeralda until. In God’s
good time, I met Stanhope on board
the Falcon.”
“Then the manner of Enid’s rescue is
conjectural?”
“Absolutely. But Stanhope, who is
a sailor, and two men named Spence
and Jones, who were Braud’s col-leagues
on the Gulf Rock at that time,
have helped me in building up a com-,
plete theory. It Is quite clear that the
second boat did not sink, as was re-ported
by the captain of the John S.
She was damaged and had her mast
broken by the collision. In the dark-ness
and confusion she would be read-ily
carrifd past the bark, which was
probably traveling four knots au hour.
The two sailors in springing from her
gunwale into the bobstays would cer-tainly
cant her considerable, and at
the same instant my poor wife either
threw her child into the boat with a
last frenzied effort or some one caught
the baby from her ns she sank. The
boat was seen by Brand floating In
with the tide on the morning of the
30th of July. She had been nine days
at sea. Some survivor must have giv-en
the little one nourishment in that
time, ns a twelve-months-old child
could not possibly have lived. In all
likelihood the bank of fog clung to the
surface of the sea and followed the
tides, as there was little or no wind
on the days following the loss of the
yacht.
"Again, there were provisions In the
boat, but no water. Why? Either the
water casks hud started their staves
when the smash took place or u care-less
steward had failed to fill them.
The next thing is the identity of the
boat. By the stupidity of a sailor one
of the Esmeralda’s lifeboats was burn-ed
to the water’s edge in Norway. He
upset u tin of petroleum while he was
opening It, and a lighted match did the
remainder. Indeed, he and another
man at the oars narrowly escaped
death. A boat wns purchased, but ac-cident
or mischance prevented the Es-meralda's
uame being painted on It.
There was a Norwegian port number
on the stern board, and this was
smashed away by the falling mast.
As the sail was trailing in the water
when the boat was found by Brand it
Is assumed that the survivor or sur-vivors.
who paid some heed to the
child, suffered from injuries which pre-vented
him or them from hauling it in.
One man's body was found on board,
and he had been dead many days.
Finally we have the evidence of the
child's clothing.”
"The girls told me something of the
story on the rock,” said Pyne. “Gee
whiz, I little dreamed that Enid—or
Edith, i mean—was my first cousin!”
“You know that her garments were
marked E. T. and that a little shawl
was pinned about her with n gold
brooch set with emeralds arranged as
a four loafed shamrock?”
“No. I fancy that they were hin-dered
in their yarn. Believe me, there
was always enough to do In that won-derful
place. Besides, I knew about
the brooch. Had they mentioned it, I
guess tlie gmy matter at the back of
my head would have become agitated
by thought.”
“Yes, of course. I am talking to you
ns if you were hearing this sad history
for the first time.”
“It is new enough. It has a fresh
point of view, which Is everything.
Now, about that brooch?”
“I bought it in Bergen. I remember
your poor father laughing about it. It
was odd to find an Irish emblem in
that out of the way little town. I have
not seen It yet, but It is ludicrous to
think that so many coincidences can
affect two different children cast adrift
about the same time in open boats at
the junction of the St. George’s channel
and the north Atlnntie.”
“It's the kind of thing that doesn’t
occur with monotonous regularity,”
agreed Pyne. “By the way, I have just
made an interesting discovery on my
own account.”
“What is It?”
“It might enslly have happened that
not Enid—sorry—1 mean Edith—but I
should have been the youngster cast
adrift In that boat.”
“Yes, that is so, of course.”
“And I would have grown up as Con-stance's
brother. Guess things have
panned out all right as it is.”
It was on the tip of his uncle’s tongue
to ask for some explanation of the
very gratified tone in which Master
Charles made this remark, but the head
waiter entered solemnly, with the air
of respectful and discreet decorum
which only an English family butler or
a head waiter can assume without bur-lesque.
“Beg pardon, gentlemen,” he said,
“but I thought you would like to know
about the lady in No. 11, Mrs. Vansit-tart.”
“Yes; what of her?” demanded
Traill, while Pyne found himself imag-ining
that which caused his heart to
beat more rapidly than even the fight
for life in the saloon of the Chinook.
“She went out, sir, about an hour
ago, and”—
“Has she not returned?”
“No, sir. A policemen has just called
to say that she was taken ill and is
now being cared for at Mr. Brand’s
house.”
Uncle and nephew glared at each
other as men do when they call the
gods to witness that no madder words
could be spoken. Before the waiter
they perforce restrained themselves.
But Pyne shouted:
“Where is the policeman?”
“He is down below, sir. Shall I
bring him up?”
Sergeant Jenkins, however, was too
loyal in his friendship to Brand to tell
them exactly how it came about that
Mrs. Vansittnrt wns sheltered in La-burnum
cottage. He admitted that he
directed the lady to the house in the
first instance and that Mr. Brand told
him subsequently to convey the stated
message to the hotel.
Nevertheless he was the richer for a
sovereign as he weht out.
Mr. Traill helped himself to a whisky
and soda.
“Here’s to the reconciliation of
Brand and his wife,” he said, with a
lighter tone and more cheerful manner
than he would have deemed possible
five minutes earlier.
Pyne followed his example.
“Say, uncle,” he cried, “here’s a
queer item! When I first met Con-
Btance I spoke of Mrs. Vansittart, and
I called her my prospective step-aunt”
“A very silly name too.”
“Constance seemed to think that, or
its feminine equivalent. She corrected
me, ‘You mean your fiancee’s aunt,’
she said.”
“Oh, did she?”
“Yes, and here’s to her being my
fiancee’s mother.”
*******
With the morning came doubt. A
maid who was given charge of the two
children told Pyne that Mrs. Vansit-

Trolley Companies in This State will

LEGISLATURE HAS SO AMENDED THE BILL
Trolley companies cannot exercise the right of eminent domain unless
they agree to be common carriers. This provision has been put into tne
Homsher eminent domain bill by ‘Farmer” Creasy.
The Creasy amendment provides that “all companies availing them-selves
of this act shall be common carriers.” Mr. Blakslee, of Carbon,
wanted to prevent trolley companies from occupying state highways without
the consent of the governor and the highway commissioner The House de-clined
to accept the amendment. Mr. Decker, of Lehigh was unsuccessful
in efforts to have an amendment inserted to take from the companies the
right of eminent domain in securing power house and car barn sites The pay
of the viewers was raised from #1.50 to 85 a day. With these changes the
bill parsed finally.

tart bad been greatly upset tbe pre-vious
evening. The girl was sure that
the lady had passed nearly an hour In
tears kneeling by the side of the bed.
Then, having regained control of her-self
to some extent, she rang for the
maid and asked at what time the first
train left for London next day. She
ordered her breakfast at an hour which
seemed to indicate her intention to de-part
by that train, said that she would
leave Instructions with Mr. Pyne con-cerning
the children, and gave the maid
two letters which she had written.
These were to be delivered at 9 o'clock.
What wns to be done with the letters?
As they were addressed to Pyne and
his uncle respectively, he soon settled
that point.
His letter read:
Dear Mr. Pyne—I am leaving for Lon-don
quite early, so I will not see you
again in Penzance. I have supplied the
little girls with all the garments they will
heed during the next few days. If, on In-quiry,
you ascertain that they have no
relatives anxious, not merely willing, to
take charge of them, I shall be most
pleased to assume that responsibility. In
that event, kindly write me. care of my
bankers. Yours very sincerely,
E. VANSITTART. ’
The communication to his uncle was
equally brief. Mr. Traill read it to
him. It ran:
Denr Mr. Traill—I cannot marry you.
Please forgive me. I did not venllze when
you honored me with your proposal that
nn Insuperable obstacle existed. That is all
—a lame explanation, but complete so far
us it goes. A woman who lias wreckod
her life finds it hard to £hoose her words.
Your sincere friend. E. VANSITTART.
They discussed these curt notes dur-ing
breakfast. •
“I do not like their tone,” said Mr.
Traill gravely. “They Impress me us
the hurried resolutions of a woman
driven to extremetles. Were it not for
her request about the children I should
think what you thought last night,
Charlie, when that policeman turned
up.”
“I must have telephoned my ideas to
you mighty quick,” was the retort.
“My dear boy, even at this moment
we don’t know what she intended to
do. Why did she go out? What is the
nature of her sudden illness? How
comes it that she is at Brand's house?”
“I may be mistaken, but 1 think we
will be given auswers to all your ques-tions
in due time. Nothing really seri-ous
can be amiss or we should have
heard of it from Brand himself. Now,
will you remain on guard here while I
go out with Elsie and Mamie? The
one thing that matters in their little
lives this morning is that I shall hurry
up and go doll hunting with them.”
“I will hold the fort until you return.
You will not be long?”
“Perhaps half an hour. While I am
out I will make some inquiries as to
the condition of our other friends of
the Chinook.”
“By the way, many of them must be
destitute. It is my desire, Charlie, to
[lay the expenses of any such to their
destination and equip them properly
for the journey.”
“You are a first rater, uncle, but it’ll
make your arm tired If you O. K. the
bill all the time. Now, here’s a fair
offer. Let me go halves.”
“Be off, you rascal! You are keeping
two ladies waiting.”
With seeming anxiety to atone for
tile excesses of the week, the weather
that morning justified the claim of
Cornwall to be the summer land of
England. The sun shone from a blue
sky flecked with white clouds. The
waters of Mount’s bay sparkled and
danced in miniature wavelets. The all
was so mild, the temperature so eqna
ble, that it was hard to credit sea and
wind with the havoc of the preceding
days.
The Gulf Rock disaster did not stand
alone In the records of the hurricane.
Even the day’s papers contained be-lated
accounts of casualties on the
coasts of Normandy, Holland and far-off
Denmark. But nowhere else had
there been such loss of life, while re-newed
interest was evoked by the final
relief of all the survivors.
Tyne's appearance outside the sit-ting
room wns hailed with a yell. Not-withstanding
her own perplexities
Mrs. Vansittart had taken good care
that the children were well provided
for. They were beautifully dressed,
and the smiling maid who freed them
from control when the door opened
said that they might go out without
jackets, the day was so fine.
He descended the stairs with a cigar
in his mouth and a delighted' young-ster
clinging to each hand.

is that parasites

trouble is caused in reality by one ol
these parasites. A man or woman
may be afflicted in this manner fot
years and not realize the true cause
of their suffering. When I first sold
Copper’s New Discovery I did not
know that the medicine would remove
this trouble. I have since found that
it invariably does so. Tho following
letter is a fair sample of the symptoms
as experienced by an individual thus
affected:
“I was always tired. My stomach
bloated and the slightest exertion
made me sick, weak and dizzy. My
appetite was variable and a good
nights sleep was unknown to me.
When I awoke in the mornings I had
a bad taste in my mouth and a coated
tongue. I heard of the wonderful
benefits that were being derived from
Cooper’s New Discovery, and decided
to try it.”
“The horrible tape worm, sixty feet
long that had been sapping my life
away, passed from my system alive
and squirming after I had taken three
doses. Now I have a splendid appe-tite,
every trace of stomach trouble
has disappeared and my digestion is
good. I sleep well and am gaining in

COLE BROTHERS’ CIRCUS
That Will Exhibit Here on Wednesday,
May First.
The first advance car of the great Cole
Brothers’ Show arrived here Tuesday
morning, and its 30 odd bill-posters,
litographers and bannermen got busy at
once, heralding the coming of the show,
which will be at Mount Pleasant Wed-nesday,
May 1.
This car bills in surrounding country
within a radius of 25 miles from the
place of exhibition, and the town in
which the show will exhibit. The paper
used by his show is elegant and in no
way partakes of the over-exaggerated
pictorial paper as often used by circus-es.
Every day this car uses 10 barrels
of flour for paste and over 5,000
sheets of pictorial posters to say nothing
of the smaller stuff, such as programs,
lithographs and heralds. There are 70
men in the advance of this show and
from now until the show has exhibited
here there will not be a day but that the
show will have a representative in the
town.
The Cole Brothers' Shows spend mil-lions
of dollars yearly in advertising and
believe that honest advertising is the
keystone to success. Their motto has
always been to advertise modestly what
they have and never to advertise any-thing
they do not have.
