MOUNT PLEASANT
GETS ELSIE Of
OED BLUE LAWS
When the State Police Make
Raid Here Sunday.
TROOPERS DIDN’T MAKE ANY PUSS
ALTHOUGH THEY GATHERED IN THIR-TEEN
PRISONERS IN ALL.
Pive Local Merchants, Charged With
Sunday Selling, Headed the List.
Then Came Three Alleged Colored
Gamblers, while Five Pleasant Hill
Residents all Supposed Scrappers,
Brought up the Rear, only to Ap-pear
Later as Justice Hunter
Wouldn’t Receive the Informations
on Sunday.
Sunday was a very quiet day here up
until after 5 p. m. and then a detail of
state police from Greensburg stirred
things up amazingly by giving the town
a little taste of the old blue laws enact-ed
by the Legislature of this state in
1794.
Five merchants—Andy Mulaski,Simon
Shemas, Alex Shemas, Michael Khouny
and S. M. Albright—were placed under
arrest in rapid succession charged with
Sunday selling. One of the troopers in
plain clothes got the evidence by buy-ing
something from each defendant who
was then placed under arrest by the
spotter’s uniformed companions. The
defendants were all taken before Justice
John W. Hunter who, however, refused
to accept the informations on the Sab-bath
day and as a result, the prisoners
were all released, the visiting consta-bles
agreeing to return the next evening
with the informations all made out.
The next move of the constables was
the arrest of the young colored men,
Ben Gans, “Kutch" Gilmore and Art.
Noble, who were, it ie said, caught play-ing
a quiet little game of draw poker in
a field near the Standard coke works.
They were also released on a forfeit for
their appearance the next evening, Jus-tice
Hunter declining to receive the in-formations.
The charge against the col-ored
boys was simply a breach of the
peace.
Just about this time a telephone mes-sage
was received by the constables
telling them of a riot in progress at
Pleasant Hiil, a hamlet on the Donegal
pike near the German Baptist church.
The officers, who are the detail station-ed
at Kecksburg, mounted their horses
and went out, soon returning with five
more prisoners who were in a like man-ner
released on putting up $10 and a
shotgun as security for their appearance
on Tuesday evening.
Father Penn's officers returned Mon-day
evening, made the required infor-mations
and all the local defendants
had to pay each in fine and costs $6,37
except the two Shemas brothers who,
being partners, got ofl with a total of
$11,49.
At the hearing given the Pleasant Hill
defendants Tuesday evening Patrick Mc-
Court, wife and son and Mr. and Mrs.
James Porter had each to pay $4 fine and
costs.

COKE AND COAL.
—Donahey in Cleveland Plain Dealer.
COLLEGE AVENUE TO BE OPENED OUT NOW
At Least the Ordinance That Aims at This Improvement on
the Benefit and Damage Assessment Plan
is Adopted by Council.
THE OTHER MATTERS ACTED ON BY THAT BODY.
College avenue is to be opened out to
Main street from Standpipe alley and
the benefits and damages of the long-delayed
improvement assessed to the
property owners along the former street
with something like a $2,500 share for
the borough to meet. At least Council
passed the necessary ordinance at its
regular meeting Monday evening with-out
a dissenting voice. The ordinance
is in Mayor Crosby’s hands.
The city fathers, being unable to get
contractors to bid, have decided to have
three of their own number look after
the erection of a badly needed new
lockup on the site of the present build-ing.
The new bastile will be of buft
brick, 30x30 feet, with steel cages, and
so constructed that a new city hall can
be added without marring the symetry
of the whole.
The West Penn Electric Company was
given an order for three more arc street
lights for the town—one at the corner of
South Church and College avenue, one
on North Diamond and one on More-wood
street.
The West Penn Railways Company
was requested to remove its unused
tracks on East Main and Shupe streets.
August was a quiet month in Mayor
Crosby's office as his check to the bor-ough
for that month’s receipts was for
but $78.75.
NEW HIGH SCHOOL SITE.
Local Board of Education Buys Lots on East
Washington Street.
The Mount Pleasant Board of Educa-tion,
at its regular monthly meeting Mon-day
evening, decided to change the site
for the new high school building from
the board’s Church street grounds to the
T. J. Smith property on the north side of
East Washington street, the second lot
from the corner of South Diamond
street. These grounds are 132 feet square
and the price limit is $1,850. The board
had many complaints against ruining
the Church street playgrounds and,
partly because of that and partly be-cause
the architect favored an open site
and each ward will havf a school build-ing,
the board determined to make the
change.
J. J. Spence got the coal contract for
the year. He will furnish the river ar-ticle,
getting 8}f cents per bushel for
screened coal and 8 cents for run of
mine and $8 for hauling away the ashes.
F. E. Painter's bid was the same except
that he wanted $10 for taking away the
ashes.
The new principal, Prof. U. L. Gordyi
made his first report, showing that the
schools had started off smoothly with
nearly 800 pupils the first day.

PORTAGE TRAGEDY RECALLED.
Patrick Campbell on Way to Italy to See
Alleged Murderer.
Patrick F. Campbell, of Portage, and a
friend, Charlas N. Crouse, of Wilmore,
are on their way to Italy to be present
at the trial of Francesco Imbessi, who is
confined in a prison there on a charge of
being the central figure in the now fa-mous
Portage holdup on July 30, 1904,
when Charles Hayes was killed and
Patrick Campbell terribly wounded be-fore
the bandits could get to the $3,000
pay money with which they made away.
Before leaving home Mr. Campbell said:
“Every time I think of the picture of
poor Hayes, literally shot to pieces as
he sat in my buggy, I feel more deter-mined
that his death must be avenged
under the law. I am positive that I can
identify the man who fired the shots
that cut up Hayes and myself. My prin-cipal
purpose in going to Italy is to get
a look at the man that is confined there.
I will certainly know him. For more
than three years I had a picture of him
constantly before my eyes. My trip may
not be fruitful, but I can’t resist the
temptation, as for three years I have
been determined to leave no stone un-turned.
When I return I hope to have
the full story of the crime.”

the striking features and crowning tri
umph of moving pictures are the “Great
Naval Battle," scenes in “Darkest Africa'
and “The Elks' Philadelphia Parade,"
which are alone worth going miles to

A MURDER CASE
THAI CAME EROM
WEST APOLLO
Opens Second Week of Crim-inal
Court in this CountyT
THAT OF HARVEY COCHRAN, COLORED,
CHARGED WITH THE KILLING OF KATIE
PETTIGREW, WHITE GIRL.
The Tragedy Occurred at the Home of
the Victim While the Defendant
was Handling a Revolver. Besse-mer
Man, while Still at Large, was
Tried and Convicted of Having-
Beaten His Sister. Other Notes of
Cases to Which Considerable Local
Interest was Attached.
The second week of criminal court
opened at Greensburg Monday with a
murder case tried before Judge McCon-nell.
It was that against Harry Coch-ran,
of West Apollo, who was charged
with having shot and killed Katie Petti-grew
a young white girl there, July 23
last. It seems that the victim had called
the defendant colored boy into the sit-ting
room of her house and the tragedy
occurred while he was handling her
revolver. There were no eye witnesses.
John Carfelt, of Bessemer, was fried in
his absence on a charge of aggravated
assault and battery and convicted. It
seems that Annie Carfelt, his sister,went
to the home of their parents to get her
clothes and that the defendant gave her
a severe beating.
Ed. DePriest and Norman Leighty,
two young men from Alverton, were
tried on the charge of breaking and en-tering
a Southwest freight car on the
Alverton siding and helping themselves *
to groceries to the value of $10. Richard
Jenkins, John Baer and Ed. Rumbangh,
of Alverton, entered pleas of nolle con-tendere
to the same ofiense. From the
evidence it appears that all of the de-fendants
were very much under the in-fluence
of liquor at the time the crime
was committed.
John Collins, of Scottdale, was found
guilty of assault and battery and sen-tenced
to pay a fine of $10 and costs.
Collins was charged with having beaten
and robbed the prosecutor, Elmer E.
Dillon, of $2.40.
The jury found Robert and Charles
Ellis, of Donohoe, guilty of having rob-bed
John Mellon of $50. The defendants
and Mellon had been drinking together.
William McKnight, a promiuent New
Kensington merchant, was convicted of
adultery with Mrs. Lydia Regis. Both
are members of a “Heart Purity" society.
HUNTING UP FAMILY HISTORY.
Mrs. Eldridge, of Chicago, Anxious to Learn
of her Great Grandparents.
Mrs. Laura Miller Eldridge, of Chi-cago,
spent several days last week here
with her aunt, Mrs. Agnes Neilson Mil-ler,
of West Main street, and took ad-vantage
of the visit to look up the his-tory
of her ancestry on the side of her
father, Judge William E. Miller, who
left here in 1852 and settled in Iowa
City, Iowa, where he was elected first x
common pleas judge and then to the su-preme
bench of that state and where his
father, Samuel Miller, followed him two
years later.
Mrs. Eldridge's t<reat-grand parents,
Henry and Barbara Miller, owned what
is now the John McAdams farm ou
North Sand Hill avenue. That Mrs.
Miller died some time between 1814 and
1820, while the death of her husband fol-lowed
along a few years later. Mrs.
Eldridge would like very much to know
where their graves are, but as yet has
been unable to learn anything in regard
to their last resting places.
GALLEY FAMILY REUNION
Held at the Old Dickerson Rnn Homestead
in Fayette County.
The second annual reunion of the de-scendants
of Peter Galley, who came to
this country from Germany, was held ou
last Wednesday at the Old Dickerson
Run, Fayette county, homestead, the at-tendance
being about 250 and from six
states. An interesting program was ren-dered.
Following invocation, President P. G.
Smith made a few remarks and after “All
Hail the Power of Jesus’Name" had been
sung Orrin Galley, of this place, made
the address of welcome, which was re-sponded
to by J. D. Newcomer, of Iqwa.
In addition to other addresses, Dr. J.
O. Arnold, of Philadelphia, spoke on the
“Book Galley," which he, in connection
with Mrs. Henrietta Galley, is getting
ready for the publishers. This history
was begun by the late Henry Galley, but
never finished.
THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1907.
MAD DOG
SCARE
Leads to a Number of Horses and
Cows in Unity Township Being
Killed by Their Owners.
SUPPOSED VICTIMS Of Mil WITH MIES
A number of farmers in the vicinity of Mutual and Bessemer, Unity
tov^iship, are killing; off their live stock as the result of a hydrophobia scare.
A cow belonging to Thomas Seanor went mad Monday and was killed, and a
valuable driving horse owned by Levi Silvis gave evidence of the disease and
was put to death. Two cows similarly afflicted were killed Friday. The state
veterinarian was notified.
Several months ago a mad dog was killed near Pleasant Unity. It is
believed that it is responsible for the epidemic. A war of extermination of
the dogs of the townships has been begun. Fifteen ownerless curs were shot
down on the public road the first day.
HUMAN SHIRK BUT,
How the Mughs of India Carry on
Their Perilous Industry.
TIE MAN TO FISH LINE,
Drop Him Overboard, and When a
Shark Snaps at Him It Catches
Hooks Attached to the “Bait's” Legs.
Sometimes It Gets the “Bait” Too.
William H. Michael, United States
consul general at Calcutta, in a letter
to the Washington Star tells some
queer things about the shark tin busi-ness
of India, lie says:
The industry is carried on by a class
of natives designated as Mughs, a very
low sort of natives, but who are indus-trious
and, in their way, adventure-some.
This is shown by their daring
to live on a low, marshy island off the
Sunderbans facing the bay of.Bengal.
These islands are really floating
patches of sea weed and moss, a kind
of turf and jungle. Even the violent
action of the waters of the bay causes
the surface of the island to vibrate.
Yet these ignorant and partly civilized
humans dare to live on such a land for-mation
with their women and chil-dren
and to engage In one of the most
dangerous of occupations—that of bat-tling
with the tigers of the sen. It not
infrequently happens that the courago-ons
Mugh falls the victim to the sav-age
man eating shark instead of the
shark to the persevering fisherman.
When other kinds of bait fail to at-tract.
the shark and business grows
slack the Mughs throw pebbles that are
marked in a certain way with the
blood of the shark, a kind of way of
casting lots, and this determines who
shall become bait for sharks for one
day. A strong rope made of the skin
of the porpoise is fastened about the
body of the “human bait” under the
arms. This line is made fast to a der-rick
erected on a catamaran thnt can
be lowered and raised quickly. The
legs of the "halt” are incased in leg
gings made of shark skin or a croco-dile
skin. To the “bait's” legs are
fastened a number of shark hooks and
lines, the hooks being baited with or-dinary
bait.
When the boat is near to t lie spot
where sharks abound the derrick is
swung out with the human bait dan-gling
at the end of the line, and by a
sudden jerk the “bait” is allowed to
full with a splash into the water. As
quick ns a flash one or more water
tigers are after the bait. The iUugb
is quickly drawn UD, when the sharks,
hungry and eager, grab at the “bait’s”
legs and in the mixup they manage
to swallow the baited hooks and nre
soon dispatched with spears. This
process is continued until the catch
is finished for the day.
Sometimes the sea tiger manages to
fasten his teeth in the leg of the “bait”
before he is out of reach, but the thick
skin legging protects the limb, and, as
a rule, the quick and certain spear of
a man in the boat gets the too am-bitious
shark. There is no halt that
will arouse the shark when he is tak-ing
a snooze, which sometimes lasts
for hoars, like the human body. The
shark seems to recognize the splash,
as no doubt he also detects the “smell"
of tiie human, especially the odor of
the Mugh.
There are thousands of those semi-civilized
Mughs living in the Suuder-bans
engaged in catching fisli of all
kinds, hut principally porpoises, croco-diles.
gars and sharks. They tire a
brave and harmless lot and make a
I lod livelihood for themselves and
. families.
Some hunters who ventured into the
Sunderbans in a launch last January
were told by Mughs thnt some of their
^ friends hud ventured out on a i>oiut
trying to spear u panther, and too
many of them crowded together on a
spongy patcli niid all sank out of
sight never to rise again. The hunt-ers
remained closely in their boats
rather than venture on to thnt kind
of teara Anna.
The hunters anchored their boat not
far from a Suuderbau island which
was covered with thick jungle, and
during the night a couple of large ti-gers,
n male and female, swam out to
tlie boat and made a desperate effort
THE SHA1SKS GRAB AT THE “BAIT’S" I.EOS.
to climb In. The hunters had a flash
light with them, which was turned on
the daring intruders, and succeeded in
killing and bagging both of them.
Hunting in the more elevated Sunder-jaus
used to be popular with the more
venturesome and well acclimated
sportsman, but of into years it is al-most
wholly abandoned by white men
on account of the dendly climate.
BIRD HIT HER IN THE EYE.
Brave Soldier’s Vanity.
Marshal Ney, who was as handsome
as he was brave, is said never to have
appeared on theUeld of battle until
he was dressed with scrupulous ele-gance
and his board carefully curled
and perfumed. When he was led out

Small Girl Will Lose Her Sight From
Sparrow’s Assault.
While playing In the street with sev-eral
other children ltose Watkins, six
years old, of Wilmerding, Fa., sudden
iy screamed and clutched her face. At
her feet lay a bunch of feathers. An
English sparrow, darting about the
street, had struck the little one in the
eye and had fallen stunned to the pave-ment.
The bird was picked up by some of
the children, while the other girls gath-ered
tlie screaming girl in their arms
and carried her home.
The child’s face was bruised by con-tact
with tlie bird, and from a deep cut
on the eyeball it was evident that the
sharp beak of the sparrow had struck
the eye. A doctor was called, who
made an examination of the wound,
but owing to the nature of the injury
could give little hope of saving the
sight. Such a case is said never to
have been reported before. ,...

Suit Against James R. Smith, who is
in the Penitentiary, for $50,000
Damages Leads Fayette
County’s Civil List.
WOUNDED SON-IN-LAW IS TOE PLAINTIFF,
The most important case in the present term of civil court in Fayette
county is the $50,000 damage suit instituted by William R. Wirsing against
his father-in-law, James R. Smith. Smith, it will be remembered, invited
Wirsing and his bride, whom Wirsing had married against the parental will,
to dine with him at his home near Smithfield and when the couple appeared
opened tire with a gun, mangling Wirsing’s arm. Smith was convicted of
felonious shooting with intent to kill and sentenced to tive years in the pen-itentiary.
Before he was taken to prison Smith was given an opportunity to settle
the damage suit, but he obtinately refused.
PILGRIMJOt TALKS,
Makes Things Clear For Those
Who Patronize Him.
IMPOSTORS GIVEN A WARNING
Are Told Not to Use His Name—His
Moving Pictures Do Move and Are a
Success—Speaks of Napoleon Cross-ing
the Alps.
[Copyright, 1907, by M. M. Cunningham.]
As my outfit is being confounded
with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show,
the theatrical trust aud the side show
exhibiting the wild girl from Borneo,
I wish to make things clear to the
public who patronize me.
I am the original and only Pilgrim
Joe.
Any one else taking my name is a
base impostor.
I invented the fifteen minute corn
cure.
You take one minute to rub it on and
fourteen more to wonder where the
corn went to.
I invented the Pilgrim Joe hail-grower.
It is not for the human head,
but for straw beds and mattresses.
Two applications makes a hair mat-tress
out of a straw bed. Three appli-
"YOTJ SEE NAPOLEON CROSSING THE ALPS.”
cations grow hair on an okl rug or
rag carpet and make Persian prayer
rags of them.
I invented Pilgrim Joe's admirable
alternative. Eat two dozen green ap-ples
and one dose will core any case
of colic you may have. The alterna-tive
is to die if you don’t keep it
handy in the house. One tablespoon-ful
of iny alternative dissolved in hot
water will make the family washing
look whiter than snow.
I invented Pilgrim Joe’s Pain Allevi-ator.
the greatest thing of the kind
known to the world. It has saved
ten million people from the grave dur-ing
the last fifteen years and thus pre-vented
a trust in cemetery lots.
Kings take it. Emperors cry for it.
Czars will have no other.
Instills Ambition.
I travel over the country sorrering
with the sorrowful and lifting up the
downtrodden and despairing. I instill
ambition aud renew hope. I peel off
tlie old bide and grow a new one.
, I take tintypes at 10 cents n take.
I carry a grasshopper in a bottle to
show the world that even the most fe-rocious
animal can be tamed by kind-ness.
I have a fighting dog under the wag-on,
and the old boss that draws my
wagon can make a mile in 2:40 on the
track.
My latest and perhaps most interest-ing
exhibition is a number of moving
pictures that do move. After the sale
of my medicines on the public square
I open my picture exhibition and give
a lecture explaining things.
There are no bucking bronchos.
There are no Indians nor buffaloes.
There is no stage robbery.
There is no theatrical performance.
It is simply my show and no one
else's, and the public should uot get
tbiugs mixed up. I was a leading the-atrical
uinn years ago, but tiudiug that
I was expected to marry and get a di-vorce
at least twice a year I gave it up.
In my moving pictures I show Gen-eral
Washington at Valley Forge. He
is suffering with hunger. He moves
over to the cupboard and gnaws a
bone. He moves back to the fireplace
and gnaws a sassafras root. He is
so oi sighing and slinking liis head.
1 lie audience can see that he despairs
if American liberty. One bowl ef oat-meal
and milk would win independence;
lint. alas, it is not there. As this pic-tare
finally moves along out of sight
there is not a dry eye in the hall. Men
have offered me $5 if I would feed the
general up and let him go ahead and
lick tlie British, but I have refused. I
stick rigidly to the historical in pre-senting
my pictures.
I show Louis XVI. on the scaffold.
He is walking back and forth and
wondering whether lie had better die or
not. He muses. He ponders. He
finally decides that as the revolution-ists
have gone to so much trouble to
get things ready he will not disap-point
them. He nods to the execution-er
to do liis duty and takes his place
on the plank and has his head cut off.
This picture is so realistic that hus-bands
and wives go home and dispute
an tlie quantity of blood shed.
You see Napoleon at Waterloo. For
a time ids countenance wears a be-nign
expression, and you can fairly
road his thoughts. He is going to lick
the English and then forgive them if
they won’t do so any more. Then be
seems to be puzzled, the same as a
man who finds four aces in bis band
and suspects the other feller has a
straight flush. Then there is a startled
look, followed by one that plainly
says he has bitten off more than he
can chaw and guesses he will go home
and play with his Teddy bear. You
seo him on the skate, and he isn't
stopping farmers to ask after the state
of the buckwheat crop.
You see Shakespeare at home. He
isn’t writing any of his tragedies, but
is out in the field anil on tlie move.
The artist caught him just as he was
looking for the eggs of the meadow
lark in the grass. He finds some;
also some bumblebees. Every audience
has the highest respect for Shake-speare,
but when he takes a skip over
the nearest fence and pluuges into the
blackberry bushes the laughter can
uot be restrained. Most people are
surprised to find that the bumblebee
was know n so long ago and that his
ways were the same as now.
The Battle of Gettysburg.
The battle of Gettysburg is shown in
all its ferocity. Generals Meade, Han
cock, Sheridan and others are shown
on their rearing steeds, and thousands
of old veterans can pick out the very
spot where they stood. I point out and
name tlie various generals, but there
is one figure that I do not have to
name. It is the central one. The fate
of the battle seems to depend upon
him, and his attitude shows that he
means to win or die. As soon ns the
audience sees this figure there is a
mighty shout of “Pilgrim Joe! Pil-grim
Joe!” and it is sometimes five
minutes liefore I can proceed with my
lecture.
The great Chicago fire is always a
great hit. There are acres and acres
of flames and thousands aud thou-sands
of people fleeing in terror. One
fleeing man has just thrown away one
dozen bottles of Pilgrim Joe's Pain Al-leviator,
and as the audience becomes
aware of the fact a groan of despair
resounds through the hall. The wall of
fire advances until those on the front
seats begin to move back, and then it
is gone. I may add that the dozen hot
ties were never recovered.
You see Caesar and Brutus meet.
Caesar know-s that Brutus has got il
In for him, but be acts as if they were
twin brothers and the best of friends.
The audience knows that Brutus is
planning assassination, but they hope
be has left his dagger behind. The
two men move here and there, appar-ently
talking about the jump in wheat
and at a proper moment Brutus pulls
the dagger and strikes borne. Caesai
looks astonished and stands uround
for a minute and then concludes to
die. A district messenger boy comes
in and hands Brutus u telegram from
bis mother-in-law, and after a long
look at the corpse at his feet he goes
out. Nothing could be more lifelike.
Napoleon Crossing the Alps.
You see Napoleon crossing tlie Alps.
It snows. It blows. There are moun
laius 2,000 feet high for his horse to
jump over, but lie Is a blue rihboi
jumper from the Madison Square Gar
deu horse show, and he takes every-thing
that comes along. You see the
groat Napoleon looking for tlie enemy
also for a hot Scotch. He moves on-ward
to new glories aud new victo-ries,
and you can just imagine that
macaroni will be cheap when he gets
over into Italy and lias a chance at tlie
army.
1 have uot mentioned more than hall
of my moving pictures, but from wlia!
1 have described you can seo what a
feast of reason awaits you.
Purchasers of my medicines are not
entitled to free admission to the show.
Each stands on its own merits, and
each is worth double tlie price asked.
Wait for me. Take no other. There
Is nothing "just as good" and tlie crit-ter
who tries to make you believe It Is
a boss thief and a liar. The original
and only Pilgrim Joe. Preceded by no
brass band, but by a wave of enthu-siasm.
Yaller handbills will notify
you of when I am to pass your farm
or reach your house, and don't con-found
me with any traveling circus
that simply seeks your cash.

The Tubular is the cleanest skimming, most durable,

the self oiling device saves time, uses the oil over and over

A FAIR ORDINANCE.
The ordinance, which Council passed
Monday evening by a unansmous vote
and which is now in the hands of Bur-gess
Crosby, has for its object the open-ing
out of College avenue from Stand-pipe
alley to Main street, leaving the
question of benefits and damages to be
assessed by disinterested viewers for
whose integrity the court of Westmore-land
county will stand good by its ap-pointment.
The opening of this avenue would
mean much to the town in the way of
improvement beyond the outlet itself.
Nor should it be forgotten that College
avenue people have paid their full share
of what the town did in the way of
street paving and that, too, without re-ceiving
any direct benefit. And even
now they do not ask any favors. They
simply want a long-needed convenience,
expecting to bear the larger share of the
expense themselves.
THE JOURNAL has nothing personal at
stake in this matter, but it likes to see
people treated fairly and is glad of the
chance to say a good word for this fair
measure.
PANAMA CANAL WORK.
The officials actively connected with
the excavations for the Panama canal are
highly pleased over the report of opera-tions
showing that the usual monthly
work was exceeded in July, when 1,126,-
748 cubic yards were removed.
The amount excavated up to August 1
of this year was 9,380,000 cubic yards.
This leaves more than 100,000,000 cubic
yards yet to be removed. At the same
rate this would mean that it will take
about 12 years, or until 1919, to com
plete the canal.
This delay, however, is not antici
pated. Four years earlier, or 1915, is the
date hoped for by the canal commission
when it will be possible to send the first
ship through the ditch.
France years ago undertook this same
great world’s work and failed miserably,
but there is every reason to believe that
Yankee ingenuity, backed by the cash
in your Uncle Samuel’s strong box, will
complete it.

the time to oppose the trusts. They can

The American people are beginning to
realize how they have permitted the
trust and graft evils to grow up until
they threaten national life itself, and
credit is due men like Senator La Fal-lette
who have the courage of their con-victions.

JUSTICE IN ENGLAND.
Daniel Michael Weigel, of Goswell
Road, London, head of the Weigel Mo-tors,
Ltd., was recently arrested by a po-liceman
who had timed his touring car
with an electrical apparatus over a
measured furlong. He was represented
by eminent counsel and had many wit-nesses
to testify that the policeman was
mistaken, but was found guilty.
In addition to the prison sentence of
30 days, which when pronounced caused
the millionaire motorist to gasp and
nearly faint, he was fined $50 for refus-ing
to stop when ordered to do so and
ordered to pay $50 costs. His license
was suspended for two years.
England has customs that are not pop-ular
in this country, but it must be ad-mitted
that justice in her courts is not
tempered with mercy simply because
the defendant happens to be rich and
well connected.
Bides the Same.
Scott dale Independent.
The state constables seem so popular
that almost every town is clamoring for
a detail of them. Scottdale has not yet
made an application for and does not
need any help to keep order. We are a
quiet, orderly set of people.
John D. Wants His Pay.
Pittsburg Gazette Times.
John D. Rockefeller has asked that he
be paid his due fee for testifying before
Judge Landis, and he is to receive $73.95.
It was worth that to hear his protesta-tions
of lack of knowledge, but really he
ought to let the credit stand as a setoff
against that $29,240,000.
Sunday School Teachers Organize.
Extensive plans are being developed
among the Sunday school teachers of
the Scottdale and East Huntingdon dis-trict
for the organization of a normal
teachers class to study the best methods
of presenting the Bible. The meeting to
arrange for the organization will be held
in the Trinity Reformed church, Scott-dale,
this evening.
County Sunday School Convention.
The fifteenth annual convention of
the Westmoreland County Sabbath School
Association will be held Thursday and
Friday next, September 12 and 13, in the
First Baptist church at Scottdale. Rev.
C. W. Haines, of this place, is down to
speak Thursday afternoon on “The
Practical Sabbath School” under the head
of “Its Organized Classes.”

TRUST8 ARE POPULAR SUBJECTS.
When making an address on trusts be-fore
the teachers of Allegheny county in
Carnegie Music Hall last Thursday,
United States Senator Robert M. La-
Follette, of Wisconsin, had the time
limit called on him by Superintendent
Samuel Hamilton, but he only went to
the steps of the hall where the big audi
ence followed and heard him conclude
his biting remarks on this popular sub-ject.
Senator La Follette’s address was a
severe arrai^hment of the trusts in gen-eral
and the beef and grain trusts in par-ticular.
He recited in detail how the
combinations were effected and how,
through years of labor, they have taken
the government out of the hands of the
Clark Golden Wedding.
Mr. and Mrs. John Clark, who resided
here some eight years ago, celebrated
their golden wedding last Tuesday at
their Oak Hill, Allegheny county, home.
They have nine children, 36 grand-children
and nine great-grandchildren.
NANCY M’CONNELL’S WILL.
Judge Holt Decides She was Capable of
Making the Instrument.
Judge Holt, of Beaver county, sitting
in the Westmoreland county orphan’s
court last Friday, handed down a decree
in which he refused to award an issue
to determine the sanity of Nancy Mc-
Connell, the eccentric spinster of Ros-traver
township, who was killed on the
Pittsburg & Lake Erie railroad a year
ago.
In Miss McConnell’s will she bequeath-ed
all her fortune of $60,000 to the
American Bible Society, of New York.
The near heirs contested the will, claim-ing
the spinster was of unsound mind.
Unless the appeal is taken to a higher
court the estate will go to the society.
A Good Example.
As I passed along the street the other
day a bright boy of some seven summers
said to me: “How do you do, Mr. Per-shing?”
with such a man-like appearance
that I thought what amount of sunshine
a boy can let into this world if he wants
to. He should never be dverlooked or
unnoticed. Honor to the boy.

WILL GET
SOME BALM
The $1,500 Verdict Awarded West-moreland
Girl for Breach of Promise
Stands in Fayette County Courts.
JUDGE BEPPEBT REFUSED l SEW TIL,
Miss Hannah Zundell, of Rostraver township, Westmoreland county,
will get what’s coming to her for a broken heart, if the common pleas court
of Fayette county has any say in the matter.
At a session last Wednesday Judge Reppert, in a long opinion, refused
the new trial asked by Bella W. Patton, defendant in the sensational breach
of promise suit, and has directed judgment be entered in favor of the plaintiff
for JS 1,500. This sase was tried at the March term. Patton made applica-tion
for a new trial. Miss /.undell formerly resided here.
A SONG OF CONTENTMENT.
THE HOSPITABLE CITIZEN.
In the guff that once was current In the
magazines of rot
We were told that any dnb could hit the
targot every shot.
We were told that If wo tolled from morn
to midnight wo could reach
Heights from which the world’s successes
liked to pose and smirk and preach.
We were taught that careful saving of
our pennies was the thing;
We should cut out all the frivols—youth
should never have its fling.
Grind and grub and grub and grinding—
these v/cta sure to win (ho race.
But today we learn that riches are a ter-rible
disgrace.
Once the man who made snme money was
considered to have done
Something worthy emulation by the other
fellow's son;
Once we learned that little Willie, who re-fused
to go and play,
But would rather stick to business, was
the hero of the day.
In the mottled books they loaned us from
the libraries of yore
All the manly virtues centered in the boy
who swept the store.

*Tis a pleasant change. I take it, for be-neath

Make a fortune—I’m delighted they've dis-covered
It's a crime.
Now, when I am broke and shiftless,
when I owo my every friend
Who, when I was prone to borrow, was
so careless as to lend,

Is the thought, "I know I’m honest, 'cause
I kept froth getting rich."

An orator and lawyer who lives at
•Galesburg, 111., wrote a book which his
publishers, lu order to give the author
an exact Idea of how It would look,
made up Into a dummy with Ihe regu-lar
cover, hut with blank pages. The
proud author went to Chicago and call-ed
on one of Ids friends.
“George,” said the author, putting
the hook open on the table, “so far as
my acquaintance with literature goes
this hook is best suited of any for
your mentality.”
The other turned over the blank
pages gravely. Finally he said;

“I will see to it, but 1 wanted pri-marily
to be certain of one of two
things—first, will you pay the £5,000
as promised; second, will you give me
a fresh purchase note for my diamonds
which will not indicate so deflultelj
that I am the boy concerning whom
there has been so much needless pub-licity
during the last few days?”
It was of no avail for Isaacsteln to
bandy words with Philip. A boy of
fifteen who casually introduced such
a word as “primarily” Into a sentence
and gave a shrewd thrust about “need-less
publicity" to tlie person responsi-ble
for it was not to be browbeaten
even in business affairs.
The man whipped out a check book.
“Am I to make out n check for £5,000
to ‘Philip?’” he asked.
"No; to Philip Anson, please.”
“Thank you. And now, shall I put
any nddress on the contract note which
I will hand you?”
“The Pall Mall hotel.”
Isaacsteln with difficulty choked back
a comment. The X’all Mall hotel was
the most expensive establishment in
London. lie tossed the check and an-other
document across the table.
“There you are,” he said. “Come
with me to my bank. You will excuse
the hurry. I have a lot to do before
I leave for Amsterdam tonight.”
Philip saw that the acknowledgment
of his diamonds appeared to be in
proper form.
“There is no need at this moment to
explain to the bank manager that I
am the hero of the police court affair?”
he said.
“None whatever. I am lending you
the money, and will be paying you a
good deal more very soon. That will
be sufficient. lie may draw his own
conclusions, of course.”
Philip was now looking at the check.
“Why do you put ‘accovt payee’ be-tween
those two strokes?” be said.
The man explained, and even found
time to show him how to cross and in-dorse
such important slips of paper.
Then they walked to the bank, a few
doors away. The elderly manager was
obviously surprised by the size of the
check and the youth of the “payee.”
"Oil, tills is nothing, a mere Ilea bite,”
said Isaacsteln. “In a few days he will
have ten times the amount to his
credit.”
“Dear me. Are you realizing proper-ty
on bis behalf?”
“Yes.”
“Well, Mr. Anson,” said the man-ager
pleasantly, “I hope you will take
care of your money.”
”1 want you to do that,” smiled Phil-ip,
who was slightly nonplused by the
prefix to his name, heard by him for
the first time.
“Oh. if you leave it with me it will
be quite safe.”
“I cannot leave all, but certainly I
will not spend £5,000 in a week. I
mean to buy some property, though,
and—can. I have a hundred now?”
“By all means.”
Philip wrote ills first check and re-ceived
twenty crisp five pound notes.
Isaacstein stood by, smiling grimly,
lie had not yet got over the farcical
side of this extraordinary occurrence,
and he was wondering what the bank
manager would have said could be but
see Philip as he, Isaacstein, saw him
no later than the previous day.
“By the way,” said Philip, whose
heart was beating a little now, “sup
pose I wish to give a reference to ally-body,
will you two gentlemen answer
for me?”
rears lest lie may be detected In file
commission of a terrible crime.
“Are you mad?” he whispered.
"No, not mad,” answered Philip
coolly as he pocketed the gem. “I only
wanted you to wabble.”
“You wanted me to wabble!”
“Yes. You look so like a big top at
times. When do we meet again, Mr.
Isaacstein?”
“You are not going away by yourself
with that stone In your pocket?”
“Why not! It attracted no special
notice from the people as I came here.
Nobody can smell it. It won’t explode
or burn a hole in my clothes. It is
quite safe, I assure you.”
“But let me take it to Amsterdam.
Boy! boy! It must weigh four hundred
carats!”
“Enough of business for today. I
have a lot of things to attend to.
Shall we say Tuesday?”
“No; AVednesday at 11. One word.
Let me put It in my safe.”
“Goodby.”
Philip hailed a hansom and drove
off to Ludgate Hill, smiling graciously
at Isaacstein as he whirled away.
The man swayed gently through the
crowd until he reached the office, when
he dropped limply into his chair.
Then lie shouted for his confidential
clerk.
“Samuel,” he murmured, “take
charge, please. I’m going home. I
want to rest before I start for Har-wich.
And, Samuel!”
“Yes, sir.”
"While I am away you might order
another scales. In future we will sell
diamonds by (lie pound, like potatoes.”
A CHAPTER XI. FTER picking up his belongings
at the outfitter’s, two smart
Gladstone bags with “P. A.”
k nicely painted on them, Philip
stopped his cab at Somerset House.
He experienced no difficulty in reach-ing
the proper department for stamp-ing
documents, and thus giving them
legal significance.
An official glanced at Isgacsteln’s
contract note and then looked at Phil-ip,
evidently regarding him as a rela-tive
or youthful secretary of the
“Philip Anson, Esq., Pall Mall hotel.”
whose name figured on the paper.
“I suppose you only want this to be
indicated?” ho said.
“Yes,” agreed Philip, who had not
the remotest idea what he meant.
“Sixpence,” was the curt rejoinder.
Philip thought he would be called on
to pay many pounds—some amount in
the nature of a percentage of the sum
named in the agreement. He produced
the coin demanded and made no com-ment.
AA’itli stamp or without, he
knew (lint Isaacstein would go straight
in this preliminary undertaking. A
single glimpse of the monster diamond
In bis pocket had made that quite cer-tain.
For the rest he was rapidly making
out a plan which should secure his in-terests
effectually. lie hoped before
the day was out to have set on foot
arrangements which would free him
from all anxiety.
From Somerset House he drove to the
Pall Mall hotel. A gigantic hall por-ter,
looking like a youthful major gen-eral
in undress uniform, received him
with much ceremony and ushered him
to the office, where an urbane clerk
instantly classed him as the avant
courier of an American family.
“I want a sitting room and bedroom
en suite,” said Philip.
“One bedroom?” was the surprised
“The bank will always say whether
or not your check will be honored to a
stated amount. In other respects Mr.
Isaacstein, who brought you here, will
serve your purpose admirably—none
better in the city of London,” replied
the banker.
Isaacsteln placed both feet together,
and his head sank between his shoul-ders.
He again reminded Philip of a
top. The boy fancied that in a second
or two he would begin to spin and
pur. The bank manager's statement
flattered the little man. It was the
sort of thing he understood. Philip
privately resolved to make this human
top wabble when alone with him in
the street again.
“One more question, aud I have end-ed,”
he said. “AA’here is the best place
to store some valuables?”
“It all depends on their nature. AA’hat
are they—plate, jewels, paper?”
The man's ears were alert now, and
the boy smiled faintly.
“Oh,” he explained, “I have a very
large quantity of rich ore which I wish
to lodge in some place where it will be
secure and yet easy of access.”
“I would recommend you to rent a
strong room in the safe deposit across
the street. There you have absolute
security and quick access during busi-ness
hours.”
Philip expressed his thanks and quit-ted
the bank with his agent.
In the middle of Holborn, in the
midst of the jostling, hurrying occu-pants
of one of the busiest thorough-fares
in London, he pulled the giant
diamond out of his pocket and sudden-ly
held it under Isaacstein’s nose.
“I told you I had them as big as
hen’s eggs,” he cried. “AYhat do you
think of this one?”
Isaacsteln glanced at it for one fas-cinated
second. Then he looked around
with the stealthy air of a man who
query.
“Yes.”
“How many of you are there, then?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Are you alone?”
“Y’es.”
The clerk fumbled with the register.
Frecocious juveniles were not un-known
to him, but a boy of Philip’s
type had not hitherto arisen over his
horizon.
"A sitting room and a bedroom en
suite?” he replied.
“Exactly.”
The clerk was disconcerted by Phil-ip's
steady gaze.
“On what floor?” he asked.
“Really,” said Philip, “I don’t know.
Suppose you tell mo what accommoda-tion
you have. Then I will decide at
once.”
The official, who was one of the
most skilled hotel clerks in London,
found it ridiculous to be put out of
countenance by a mere boy who could
not be a day older than seventeen and
might be a good deal less. He cast a
critical eye on Philip’s clothing and
saw that, while it was good, it had not
the gloss of Vere de Vere.
He would paralyze him at one fell
blow, little dreaming that the other
read his glance and knew the exact
mental process of his reasoning.
“There is a good suit vacant on the
first floor, but it contains a dressing
room and bathroom,” he said, smiling
the smile of a very knowing person.
“That sounds all right. I will take
it.”
“Ah, yes. It costs £5 a day!”
Each of the six words in that por-tentous
sentence contained a note of
admiration that swelled out into a
magnificent crescendo. It was a ver-bal
avalanche, beneath which this
queer youth should be crushed into the
very dual.
HE LIVED
LIKE PRINCE
John Beaird, Young Cashier for the
Adams Express Company at Union-town,
Jailed for Embezzlement.
HE SPLURGED ON $55 A
John H. D. Beaird, cashier for the Adams Express Company at Union-town,
is in jail there charged with embezzling $1,700 of the company’s
money. He is said to attribute his downfall to a desire to have a gay time.
With a salary of $55 a month he lived in luxurious apartments in the
Thompson bank building, entertained with automobile parties and made ex-pensive
gifts of jewelry and flowers.
In his room were a new $400 piano, an $80 couch, Brussels carpet, oil
paintings and other elaborate furnishings. Sixty neckties and 12 hats were
found in his wardrobe. Beaird, whose home is in the eastern part of thi^*
state, is only 19 years old.
“Five pounds a day!” observed
Philip calmly. “I suppose there would
be n reduction if taken for n month?”
“Well—er—during the season it is
not—er—usual to”—
“Oh, very well. I can easily arrange
for a permanency later if I think fit.
AA’liat number Is the suit, please, and
will you kindly have my luggage sent
there at once?”
The clerk was demoralized, but be
managed to say:
“Do you quite understand the terms
-thirty-five pounds a week!”
“Yes,” said Philip. “Shall I pay you
a week in advance? I can give you
notes, but It will oblige me If you take
a check, as I may want the ready
money in my possession.”
Receiving n faint indication that,
under the circumstances, a check would
be esteemed a favor, Philip whipped
out bis check book, filled In n check to
the hotel, and did not forget to cross
it “ac. payee.”
The clerk watched him with an
amazement too acute for words. He
produced the register and Philip signed
his name. He was given n receipt for
the payment on account, and then
asked to be shown to his rooms.
A boy smaller, but not younger, than
himself—a smart page, who listened to
the foregoing with deep interest-asked
timidly whether the guest would
go by the stairs or use the elevator.
“I will walk," said Philip, who liked
to ascertain his bearings.
The palatial nature of the apart-ments
took him by surprise when be
reached them. Although far from be-ing
the most expensive suit in the
hotel, the surroundings were of a na-ture
vastly removed from anything
hitherto known to him.
Even the charming house he inhabit-ed
as a child in Dieppe contained no
such luxury. His portmanteau fol-lowed
quickly, aud a valet entered.
Philip's quick ears caught the accent
of a Frenchman, and the boy spoke to
the man in the language of bis coun-try,
pure and undefiled by the barbar-isms
of John Bull.
They were chatting about the weath-er,
which, by tlie way, ever since the
10th of March had been extraordi-narily
fine, when there was a knock nt
the door, and tlie manager entered.
The clerk found the situation too
much for him. He lmd appealed to a
higher authority.
Even the suave and diplomatic M.
Foret could not conceal tlie astonish-ment
that leaped to his eyes when be
sW tlie occupant of suit F.
“I think you will find these rooms
very comfortable,” he said for lack of
aught bettor. A conimissionnaire was
already on bis way to the bank to ask
if the check was all right.
“Are you the manager?” asked Phil-ip,
who was washing bis hands.
“Yes.”
“I am glad you called. One of your
clerks seemed to be taken aback be-cause
a youngster like me engaged an
expensive suit. I suppose the proceed-ing
is unusual, but there is no reason
why it should create excitement. It
need not be commented on, for in-stance.”
“No, no; of course not.”
“Thank you very much. I have a
special reason for wishing to live at
(his hotel. Indeed, I have given this
address for certain important docu-ments.
Will you kindly arrange that
I may be treated like any ordinary
person.”
“I hope the clerk was not rude to
you?”
“Not in the least. I am only anx-ious
to prevent special notice being
taken of me. You see, if others get to
kuow I aip living here alone, I will be
pointed out ns a curiosity, and that
will not bo pleasant.”
The request was eminently reason-able.
The manager assured him that
strict orders would be given on the
point instantly, though he was quite
certain In his own mind that inquiry
would soon be made for this remark-able
youth, perhaps by the police.
“You can leave us,” said Philip to
the valet in French/
Now the chance use of that lan-guage,
no less than his perfect accent,
went a long way toward removing the
manager’s suspicions. A boy who was
so well educated must be quite out of
the common. Perhaps some eccentric
parent or guardian encouraged him to
act Independently thus early In life.
He might be the sou of a rich man
coming to London for a special course
of study, The name, Anson, was an
aristocratic one. But bis clothes—they
were odd. Good enough, but not the
ngnt tiling.
“Will you oblige me my recommend-ing
a good tailor?” said Philip. “I
need a complete outfit of wearing ap-parel,
aud it will save me a lot of
trouble if somebody will tell me exact-ly
what to buy and where to buy it.”
His uncanny trick of thought reading
disconcerted the manager greatly. Un-doubtedly
the boy was a puzzle. Nev-er
had this experienced man of the
world met any one more self pos-sessed,
more direct and yet, with it all,
exceedingly polite.
"I take it that you want the best?"
he inquired pleasantly.
“Ares.”
•'Are you lunching in the hotel?”
“I would like something sent here, if
you please, and there again your ad-vice
will be most gratefully accepted.”
The manager felt that a generation
was growing up of which be knew
nothing, but be simply answered:
“I will see to it. Do you—er—take
wine?”
Philip laughed, that pleasant whole
souled laugh of his which instantly se-cured
him friends.
“Not yet, monsieur”—
“Foret is my name.”
“Well, M. Foret, I am far too young
ns yet for either wine or tobacco. I
promised my mother I would touch
neither until I am twenty-one, and I
will keep my word. I think I would
like some cafe au lait.” ,
“I understand. Your dejeuner will
be sent up in ten minutes. By the
time you have finished I will have
people here from two or three estab-lishments
who will meet all your re-quirements
in the shape of clothes and
the rest.”
An hour’s talk and the payment of
cheeks on account worked wonders.
Before many days had passed Philip
was amply provided with raiment. His
presence in the hotel, too, attracted
no comment whatever. People who
saw him coming or going Instantly as
suwed that he was staying with his
people, while the manager took cju'o
that gossip among the employees was
promptly stopped.
As for the ragged youth witli the
diamonds, he was forgotten apparent-ly.
Tlie newspapers dropped him, be-lieving,
indeed, that Isaacstein hail
worked some ingenious advertising
dodge on his own account, and Messrs.
Sharpe & Smith never dreamed of
looking for the lost Philip Anson, the
derelict from Johnson’s Mews, In the
Pall Mall hotel, the most luxurious and
expensive establishment in London.
That afternoon Philip visited tin
Safe Deposit company. He had liUle
difficulty, of course, in securing a
small strong room. He encountered
the wonted surprise at his youth, but
(lie excellent argument of a Irauklu .
account aud the payment of a year'-
rent in advance soon cleared the n!r.
He transferred four of his portman-teaus
to this secure environment. Tlie
fifth was sent to his .hotel. When the
light failed he drove to the East End
and made a round of pawnbrokers'
shops. Although some of the tickets
were time expired, he recovered near
ly all his mother's belongings except-ing
her watch.
The odd coincidence recalled the in-spector’s
implied promise that he
should receive one as a recognition of
his gallantry.
IIow remote, how far removed from
each other, the main events in his life
seemed to he at this eventful epoch!
As he went westward in a hansom he
could lmrdly bring himself to believe
that barely twenty-four hours had
elapsed since ho traveled to the Mile
End road in company with Mrs. Wrig-ley.
And the curious thing was that he
felt in no sense awed by the possesslou
of thousand - > f pounds and the ten-ancy
of paintin', chambers In a great
hotel. His career had been too check-ered.
its recent developments too stu-pendous,
to'cause him any undue emo-tion.
Existence for the hour was a
species of well ordered dream, in which
imagination was untraumeled save by
the need to exercise his wits in order
to keep the phantasy within the bounds
not of his own brain, hut of other
mail's.

TAHK.
One day last week a very pleasant
surprise was given Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Barron, who live on D. L. RufFs farm, a
little south of this place. The aflair was
well gotteii up and financially backed
by their oldest son, William; while
every other needful thing was supplied
by their cleverdaughters, Misses Lillian
and Cora. Mrs. Barron was cooking
lima beans for dinner and still adding a
few more to them, as another and still
another of her lady friends dropped in.
But when the men folk came with
heavily laden baskets, she caught on
and now she has beans to peddle. Mr.
Barron also was entirely innocent, and
when he arrived from the field with a
load of hay and saw so many ladies he
pinched himself to see if he was dream-ing.
But Fred's smile broadened as it dawn-ed
on him that it was his birthday.
Then his face showed all the colors of
the rainbow and his eyes filled with
tears. Fred says tears would come on a
brass monkey under such circumstances.
They received quite a lot of valuable
presents. Miss Edna B. Fox, of this
place, rendered a few fine musical selec-tions
on the piano; while Daniel Neid-erhiser,
of Donegal, entertained all with
a very fine speech—until his wife told
him to come oft the perch and be good
like the balance of his fourscore fellow
guests.
Among the merrymakers were: Mrs.
Norman Leighty and sister, Miss Pearl
Beason, D. W. Fox, Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Hostetter, J. M. Leighty and Webster
Bashiom, of Tarr; Mrs. J. K. Prinkey
and son, Harry Barron, Miss Dora Hall,
Mrs. C. H. Harrold, Homer Eutsey, wife
and daughter, of Youngwood; Mr. and
Mrs. Abraham Barron, Jonathan Barron,
Mrs. Mary Eicher and son, Mrs. E. W.
Myers and daughters and Miss Carrie
Showman, of Mount Pleasant; Mrs. M. J.
Sweitzer and Miss Emma Wagoner, New
Stanton; Miss Catherine Neiderhiser, of
Donegal; Mrs. Simon Barron, Miss Daisy
Barron and Alvie Miller, of Everson,
and Mrs. Roy Crosby, of Alverton.

The H. C. Frick Coke Company, after
painting its houses here, wound up a
nice job by having the local church done
over by the artist’s brush. It is not nec-essary
to add that the company's kind-ness
is appreciated by every member of
the congregation.
The friends of George Hotter were
shocked to learn of his death in Greens-burg
last week. He left here apparently
in splendid health, on his way to the
reunion of his old fellow soldiers of
the Civil war at Oakford Park. The
sympathy of their many friends is with
the bereaved family,
T. H. Tudor, of Manor, was a caller
her Sunday.
Miss Kate Boyle, of Allegheny, spent
Monday here with her aunt, Mrs. Rich-ard
Bowen.
Miss Grace McCracken, of Pittsburg,
spent Sunday and Monday here with
Miss Elizabeth McPhail.
The schools opened here Monday with
a goodly number of pupils.
Miss Anna King, of Scottdale, called
on Hecla friends Sunday.
Miss Agnes Laird spent Sunday with
her cousins, the Misses Jeffrey, of New-comer.
Miss Margaret Bailey returned Sunday
after a visit paid Carnegie and Turtle
Creek friends.
Charles Bowen was a caller in Greens-burg
Monday.
Miss Lida Sparks returned Sunday af-ter
a few days spent at her home at In-dian
Head.
Mrs. Robert Green and Mrs. Hender-son,
of Trauger, were callers here Sun-day
afternoon.
HAMMONDVILLE
Sunday was a particularly happy day
for John W. Truxel, one of Fayette
county’s foremost citizens; for, he had
with him all his children and grand-children
to the number of thirty-one, the
only absent member being his daughter,
Miss Mary, a nurse in the Mount Pleas-ant
hospital, whose duties prevented
her from being present. His daughter,
Mrs. A. J. McIntosh, of Cleveland, Ohio,
was the clever head of the thoroughly
enjoyed affair that proved such a pleas-ant
surprise to the esteemed old father.
In addition to the quiet social inter-course
the big dinner was a marked
feature of the day. With Mrs. McIntosh
were her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Poorbaugh, of Youngwood; Mr. and Mrs.
Albert Truxel, of Iron Bridge; Mr. and
Mrs. Clark Overly, of Mount Pleasant;
Mrs. Ella Weible, of Scottdale: A. S.
Truxel, of Cleveland; A. H. Truxel, of
Pitcairn, and Misses LaVerna and Clar-issa
at home. The grandchildren pres-ent
numbered seventeen.
A great many self-made parents plan
to give their children a good education
and thereby equip them with the ad-vantages
they claim to have missed, but
it is to be regretted that these well in-tentioned
people haven't learned to keep
their boys and girls in regular attend-ance
at school in order that they may
acquire what they missed.
Our boys and girls will become more
practical men and women if the life of
the school be made to come in close
touch with the verities of life outside
the temples of knowledge. The cultu-ral
and the practical should be brought
into complete harmony. Not long since
a man was heard to say: “I came from
Old Virginia with my head full of
knowledge, though I never went to free
school or any college." Many a boy
comes home from school a Greek, Latin
and Hebrew fool. Though skilled in
Hick, Hack and Hock, he remains a
block. The management of children is
in many cases an outlet for the chang-ing
temper of parents, who to-day in
their good humor hug and kiss their
children and tomorrow pound their ill
humor out on them. Teachers should
remember the whole life of some chil-dren
is limited to the little world within
the family, where today they find only
good, tomorrow only evil. Without good
order there can be no education. There-fore,
all teachers should maintain a firm
discipline.

EXPERT REPAIRING
One day a little girl brought a ring to oar store with one set out
and the band entirely broken in two It was indeed in a dilapi-dated
shape and she sorrowfully nuked if it conld be fixed. We
told her it conld, and charged 2,7 cents for soldering and 15
cents for a new set—40 cents in all. She called for it the next
day and would haidly believe it was the same ring. The place
where it was soldered could not be found, and with a new set
and a thorough polishing it li nked exactly like new.
