Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1881-05-18

The Sleeping Beauty of the day
is a long, slender German youth, who is
slumbering at Trexlertown, Penn and
has been for more than sixty days.
Various efforts have been made to
wake him; revolver has been dis
charged close to bis ear; he has been
subjected to the operation of galvanic
battery pins and needles have been
pushed into his flesh, and a red hot
iron has been passed up and down his
spinal column. The mildest of these
applications would have induced DR..
Watts's sluggard to admit that he had
not been called too soon, and that he
did not wish to slumber again. This
somnolent paragon takes his victuals
regularly in soft or liquid form, in
the shape of boiled eggs and beef tea.
He is stranger. and when he walked
fast asleep into the hotel sixty days
ago they thought him to be an impostor,
especially after he had occupied bed
for several days and nights without
paying for it. So they pulled his arm,
twisted his ears and twitched his hair,
but all to no purpose. He was accor-
dinghy carried still sleeping to the
almshouse, where he at present repos-
es and snores. He has been visited
by q great number of doctors, who
have given a great number of opinions,
the most satisfactory one being that
there is something wrong in the back
part of the slumberer's brain. Whcth-
er he dreams is what no doctor can
find out. This curious case of life in
death we allude to with some missgiv-
ing, for fear that in this lazy world it
may prove epidemic
Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1881-05-18

The Massachusetts Legislature
seems never to tire of worrying men
who drink anything stronger than wa
ter Special enactments on the liquor
question are as numerous up there as
proposed railroads are here, and each
one is more tormenting than its prede-
cessor The latest law suggested is
simply a fiendis! conception 1t forbids
retailers of liquor to use shutters,
screens, shades or anything else that
can hide the business of their establish
ments from officers who may want to
look in. This law, if enforced, would
make it impossible for man to explain
to his wife or sweetheart that when she
saw him go into bar-room he was
merely going to play billiards or buy a
cigar. 1t would put an end to Sunday
drinking, even by those who approach
the bar by the innocent-looking family
entrance it would also put an end to
the Profitable trickery by which detect
ives obtain proof of illegal selling
Against all this nothing can be urged
in favor of the bill except that it dis
courages the use of liquor by men who
have any sensibilities left. Are thous-
ands of dearly beloved lounging places
to be thrown open to the public gaze
merely for the purpose of saving few
fellows who have not drowned their
better feelings in rum i? Just let some
reformer offer such a bill in the Penn
sylvania Legislature, and see what will
become of it.

The census statistics of the manu-
facture of glass for tie census year have
been published. They include only
those works which make glass from
crude material, and not those in which
manufactured glass is a raw material,
such as manufactures of painted or
stained glass, mirrors, and chemists
wares. The totals are interesting In
1914 establishments the capital invested
was $19,4l5.579; number of ofemployes,
1882; total wages paid, $9.ll2, ,3Ol !;
total value of materials, 81 99l, ,3O3 !;
and total value of product, 2l,0l3, 464.
The value of the similar product in
1870 was SIS, 0,207, the number of
employees 15,367, and the capital in
vested, $l5,367, 900 Plate-glass is
chiefly made in Indiana and Missouri.
Windcw-g glass is made in ten States,
