THE BEST BUTTER CoLoR.-The
great unanimity with which dairymen
of high reputation have adopted, in
preference to anything else, the In
proved Butter Color made by Wells,
Richardson q Co., of Burlington, Vt,
is remarkable. 1t shows that the
claims of initiative colors are baseless.
Wise dairymen will use no other.

district in Marshall township, But
Ter county, owns an acre of ground
on which is red school house
worth about s400. Until four
weeks ago the entire property was
valued at $500. Then oil was
struck on the Marshall farm near
by. This farm contains $50 acres,
and was valued by its owner at So,
900. The oil wells were big gushers
and opened up a new oil territory
The Marshall farm cannot be had
now for s350,000. The Bartly
farm adjoining, on which big wells
have also been struck, is held at
$4,000.
The acre of school ground is sur.
rounded by the big wells, and al
indications are that it is the centre
of the rich pool The school direct
ors have refused an offer of 100000
for the patch of ground. This j;
the largest price ever offered for al
acre Of ground in Pennsylvania
If the school directors had accepted
the offer the district would have
been the richest country school dis.
trict in the Union. They are hold
ing it for 100000. In the mean
time the surrounding wells are
draining the oil from it, and unless
the stubborn directors close witt

will be rated at its old value of S50(

The New Orleans Antics.

The pure femanine negro is seen
in and about New Orleans in all her
old-time glory. You see them in
the kitchens. on the streets, in the
horsecar, everywhere anywhere any
where anybody is seen, and there is
similarity that is wonderful. They
are almost universally fleshy, with
out visible necks, the head resting
on a comfortable cushion OF fat on
the shoulders, with enormous arms,
! partly bare, and no waist whatev-
er.
They are abundantiy heshy at 80
and still more so at so. What they
would be at 100 may meyer be
/ known.
Old and young, feshy or lean, the
love of color is over all of them, and
the color they wear must be pro-
nounced. Their blacks are the
blackest of anything on earth, their
yellows cannot be too yellow, and
the various shades of red must all
be as bright as possible. No one
color satisfies them. They mingle
all them, and the more that can be
crowded into pattern the better i.
pleases them.
1t is pleasant sight to see an
aged negress rolling along the street
bearing basket or bundle, hei
mouth halfway open so that the
laagh that is very close to the sur
face may find the outer air with the
least trouble, with good humored
twinkle in the eye and lurging in the
wrinkles about her mouth, her shor
petticoats displaying two ankles
Immense in size, and about her heao
the ineyitable gayly-colored hand
kerchiefs wound i'll the shape Of a
turban.
Without this turbau the dress o
no negress would be complete. l
takes the place of hat or bonnet
and is universal as the peiticoat o
shoes. for, though one may lacl
10 the matter of shoes, she alwayi
las the turban. 1t is bound CLOSELY
about the forehead, just below th'
hair, or rather wool, and tied a
the back of the head. Under thi
wealth of color the shiny blacl
face, the dazzling white teeth tina
always show, for the laughter eth
er begun, in progress, or Just ending
displays them. makes a not un
pleasant picture. So jolly ant
good-natured are they that one doe
not wonder that the white children
cared for and almost reared by thes
eolored women, came to love thei
! "mammies" in childhood, and con
tinued the liking as long as the,
lived.
The race is increasing with grea
rapidity, and there is no reason VIII,
they should not. The young re
quire very little care in that delic
t ious climate. They are turned Of
; to shift for themselves at ver,
early age, and a picaninny is a
little trouble to its mother as col
is to its DAM Chicago Tribune.

Their route was along the tracks of

they heard locomotive signaling
around bend. The curve was very
short and they stepped off tie down
track and on the other one. Unfor-
tunatelv the locomotive, which was
going down for water, was on the
wrong track and before they could
get out its way they were struck
and hurled nearly fifty feet. Miss

ERs DOUBTFUL ABOUT THE
FUTURE.

PITTsBuRG, December 3.-The
statement enumerating the reduc-
tions that are to take effect on the
Pennsylvania Company's lines was
finished to-day. The time decided
on for the general reduction to take
effect WAS yesterday. In those de-
partments where the number of re-
duced force was definitely decided
upon the men were then notified.
Ia the other departments the men
were notified to-day. The total re-
duction in the operating department
will be 1l05. The total monthly
saving will amount to $4,000 Id
round numbers.
This reduction is distributed over
the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chi
cago Railway, the Erie and Pittsburg
Railroad, the Cleveland and Pitts
burg Railroad and the indianapolis
and Yincennes Railroad. The Penn
sylvania Company officials were
averse to making any reduction on
their lines, until the continued de-
preston of business absolutely ne
cessitated it. After fully consider
ing the matter in all its phases, they
concluded it would be much wiser
to reduce the force than TO make the
wages lower.
A DOUBTFUL OUTLOOK.
prrTspT7pc Dec 2-There are in
dications that some of the exten-
sive industrial establishments in
this vicinity, instead of reducing
wages or running on halt time,
will meet the trade depression by
suspending operations entirely for
a long or short period, as occasion
may require. Carnegie Bros. & Co.,
who give employment to nearly
5000 men at their Braodock and
Homestead steel works, their Union
iron mills and their blast furnaces
and mines, are among the firms
credited with this intention. 1t
was said this afternoon that they
had already ordered work to stop
at their limestone quarries, and
that the order for general suspen-
sion might be expected in a few
days.
When the report was repeated to
Mr.. D. A. Stewart, a member of the
firm. he said: "All | can say at
present is that work was stopped at
the auarries some time ago, because
we had all the limestone we needed.
How long our mills and furnaces
will continue in operation is un-
certain. We may know more in a
few days. If we do decide upon a
| general suspension, ample notice
: will be given to all interested"
Mr.. Stewart could not be induced
to say anything in addition. His
manner indicated however. that the
prospects are in favor of general
suspension. If it is ordered 1t will
be the first to be ordered since the
formation of the present firm. The
wages paid are among the highest
! in the district, and the firm has new
er had any disputes with its en-
plovees on this score.
The Edgar Thomson Steel Works,
employing 5000 men, closes down
the latter part of next week, and

rush of orders. A 10 per cent. re
; duction at the American Iron
! Works and Lewis foundry was ac'
cepted by the employees, and work
