Last night bold and daring attempt at
bnrg aty and house breaking was made on
the liquor establishment OF Owen Gaffney,
coroer Of First aud Washington slreets.-
The attempt was made shortly after the arr
rival Of the special train from Oil City,
which passed here about half past one oI
clock q. %. 1t seems they tried to force an
entrance through side window and had
succeeded to that extent that the window
was partly raised aud tho man abont to en-
ter, when the noise attracted the attention
OF dog In Weidersch's shoe shop, the adj
Joining building, who sst up a loud bark
ing, which brought our efficient nigh,
watchman, Peter Kinney, to the rescue -
As soon as be came in view the burglars
made off across the railroad to parts uu-
known. Kinney fearing that there was
some one inside forced an entrance, bnt the
birds had flown. There was large supply
Of cigars and other valuable stock 10 the
store, and had the th ieves succeeded In
forcing an entrance rich haul would have
been made. Had Peter not made the mis-
take of thinking there was some one still
inside, he would no doubt have captured
one of the burglars.
We would advise our citizens to keep o
sharp look out for susp icous characters aI
ter this daring attempt attempt at burglary

This recent governmental fraud has
made its appearance in our city, a sample
having been received much to his disgust
by resident of this city. The card. in
stead of being bond paper, as required
by the Government proposals, is a cheap.
inferior order of tag paste board, which
blurs when written upon, and tears upon a
slight strain. The lithographing If iitho-
graphing it be- is wretchedly executed, and
may easily be counterfeited in any country
job office The anticipated objection of
publicity makes its appearance on the very
first card, the writer of the card shown US
having signed only initials and conveys in
his communication intelligence the recip-
ent did not wish known. As fraud upon
the public, a big job for the contractor,
and nuisance to the citizen, the postal
card is a success. Quincy Herald.

Light Cares. ,

What pity 'tis that young married
folk will not emulate the example OF
Japanese hotisekeepets They are
troubled very little by household cares.
A few mats, q chest of drawers for
clothing, two or three quilts for q bed
on the floor. some simple kitchan:uten-
sils, and their houses are furnished.
Yhey have never known the use OF q
bedstead, chair, or table, as we un-
derstand these articles and yet, these
people have all the virtues OF citiliza-
tion, and perhaps not quite all its vices.
They are polite, generous, hospitable,
perform their religious duties with ex-
emplary piety, and, if cleanliness is
next to godliness, they are much more
godly than we are, for they are the
cleanest people on the earth, according
to the general testimony of travellers.
We have certainly much to learn before
our houses can be as Immediately neat
as theirs are. The habit of dofing
street boots and assuming slippers be.
fore entering room does much to-
wards keeping houses cleaner than our
own. A poor Japanese housewife really
enjoys more ease, after her simple du-
ties are done, than many of our wealth
lest danes who are weighed down with
the cares of an extravagant establish
ment. And as for young people just
entering life-compare their lot with
that of the people under discussion,
and, if an ease-loving person, you will
soon render verdict in favor of Japan
ese housekeepers.

A Pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

A numerously-a ATTENDED meeting Of
prominent Catholics interested IN the
projected pilgrimage of American Catho-
lies to the Holy Land was held at the
house OF Archbishop McCloskey. Brief
addresses were made in advocacy of the
proposed pilgrimage, and offers Of ma
terial aid toward the realization OF the
project were freely made. A sugges-
tion that few pilgrims, pioneers OF
the movement, should take their de-
parture within the coming two weeks,
met with much favor. Archbishop Nc
Closkey, however, stated that it would
be better to defer the matter for some
time, and urged that there were various
reasons which rendered delay advisable,
prominent among them being. the fact
that were the pilgrims to depart within
the next two weeks, there would be no
possibility of apprizing the Holy
Father, so that they might start with
the advantages of the plenary indul-
gence.
After considerable discussion it was
finally determined not to take any ac-
tive measures looking toward the i'm
mediate carrying out of the idea for
the present. From what transpired,
however, it was evident that before long
q procession of Catholic pilgrims will
take their departure from our shores.

Wages Abroad.

Sixty cents a day is considered good
wages for workingman in any OF the
European countries, except Great
Britain, where the wages are somewhat
higher. In the Tyrol silk region and
in Italy they often do not get more than
ten cents. In the country in Germany
ten cents is the common pay. Women
there often get but five cents. In Swe-
den men often work from four o'clock
in the morning till nine in the evening,
and do not get more. During the late
war many poor women in Berlin were
hired to knit stockings for the soldiers
for five cents. The profit Of the poor
who keep petty shops, sell trinkets in
the streets, or act as suttlers do not av-
erage more than three or four per cent.
BARRIERS in Berlin, since the raising OF
their prices, get five cents for hair cut
ting and two and half cents for shaw
ing. Servants at hotels get from three
to eight dollars month. Servant girls
in private families often get but ten
dollars year. Sometimes these classes
cannot get work at any price.

Killing Mosquitoes.

A novel method of killing mosquitoes
has been discovered which deserves to
be patented. But we disclose it to our
readers, unconscious that we thereby
infringe anybody's rights. The ap-
paratus required is simple, consisting
OF broomstick, the cover OF a tin
blachng-box, and nail. The inside OF
the Gov er should be anointed thorough
ly with kerosene oil, and then nailed,
hollow side up, to the end OF broom
stick. The method of operation Is
equally simple: clap the machine over
the nearest mosquito on the wall OF
ceiling, and hold him prisoner for =
pIoment. Then his body will be found
adhering to the oil at the bottom OF the
cover, the fumes having put an end to
his existence. Sometimes q strong
headed individual will reel about
while before he keels over and dies.
By an industrious use Of this machine
room can be entirely cleared OF mos
quitoes.
