Baltimore has a new society fad. 1t
is called a Pig party. Everybody at
party is required to draw, with a
pencil on white paper, two pigs. The
drawing must be made without taking
the pencil of the paper. The second
drawing must be made with the eyes
oiindfolded, after which the paper
must be signed. The fun comes when
a comparison of the drawing takes
place, and the prize in competition is
given to the draughtsman of the best
pig. The person who makes the worst
drawing is called the pig.

A Long Separation.

After separation OF half century,
George b. Ryerson and his only child were
reunited at Chicago. During all these
years both believed the other dead. Mr..
Ryerson fifty years ago left his wife and
daughter in Paterson, n. j.. and went to
Florida, enlisting as soldier in the Semi.
mole war. He was wounded, and H.. many
months he was at the point OF death.
Without friends or money it was long
time before he reaci ed home. Then he
learned that his wife, believing him dead.
had moved away. No one could tell where
she had gone. After long. fruitless search
Mr. Ryerson went to Mexico, remaining
many years. He accumulated considerable
property, and then moved to California,
where he lived until his brother Martin
discovered him six years age and induced
him to come to Chicago. Recently Mr..
Ryersor succeeded in tracing his only child.
She is a Mrs. Shurtcr, and she lives in
iewb1rg. n. Y. Ia response to telegram
she came to Chicago. Her mother died
long ago, and until now she had not the
iaintest suspicion that her father was
alive. Mr.. Ryerson is eighty-three years
OF age.

OIL ana NnruraI Gas.

We are Inclined TO believe that In the
near future parties will open up a big oil
and gas tield in Cambria county. Only
few years ago it was generally believed that
no gas or oil would be found in Elk county.
1t being broken and highly elevated and also
a spur of the Allegheny mountain. About
two years ago, however, they found several
big gas wells. and Just lately have struck
several good oil wells, "oil' OF which cre>
ated big excitement in one locality where
they are building over forty oil rigs. Ex-
perts claim that tie indications are much
better for oil in Cambria than in Elk coun-
ty or any OF the oil fields in Pennsylvania.
The pebble sand rock or oil blossom, salt
spring and oil floating on the water In many
places are gas Indication. and no better can
be seen In the world. There are natural gas
springs In many parts Of Northern and Mid =
die Cambria where lis gas Is escaping. and
wells where you can set it on fire when it
will burn In nice flame. The biologists
have located three gas anticlinals that run
through the country. One Is Laurel Hill
and another the viaduct. The gas wells in
Canoe township. Indiana county, are loca-
ted on the Indiana anticlinal. The growth
OF the natural gas product OF Western Penn
sylvania is one OF the most remarkable of
the age. There are some thirty natural gas
| companies In Western Pennsylvania. with
a capital stock OF more than s25 900. 900. and
nearly two-thirds OF this amount Is Invested
10 Pittsburg companies. The Philadelphia
Charter company is supplying Is. 900 fami-
| ly houses and over 500 manufacturing es-
/ Establishments. We understand that parties
holding great bodies OF oil and gas lands in
| the adjoining counties have made fair
proposition to the capitalists OF our city,
and we hope they will accept the offer and
develop the territory and pipe the gas to
this place, as such enterprise would give
/ our town big boom.-Altoona Times
