which Interests Pennsylvanians.
BEAVER, Pa, Nov. 20 The suit Of Mrs
Lydia A. Hibbard, vivacious and deter
mined widow Of -, against Henry c. Fry,
Sr, Of Rochester, Pa. to recover S100, 900 for
breach Of promise Of marriage, was called
for trial here Mr.. Fry is largely interested
in manufacturing enterprises in the Beaver
valley, and is said to be worth 81 600, 600
He is the father of five grown up children,
while the plaintiff has two. Both families
are prominent in the First Baptist church
and in society. There are half a dozen law
yers in the case, and it is to be fought to
finish.
Mrs Hibbard told the story Of her unfortu-
nate love affair before a very large audi
ence She said Fry began paying attention
to her two years ago at a picnic, when he
sat on a log beside her The first time he
called, she said, he sat down close to her and
gazed at her with ga very, very eager look. y
After discussing with her the general subject
Of marriage he told her she was the ''loveliest
woman he ever saw.
Part Of the evening" Mrs Hubbard said,
che had his hand on my knee, but not all the
tine.n The second time he called she declared
he addressed her as my DEAR and vowed he
could not be happy without her He com
planned Of being lonely and wretched, and
said though he loved his first wife he wanted
Mrs. Hubbard, too. That evening he began
70 call her LYDIA and consulted with her
about the refurnishing of his house.
Mrs. Hubbard traced the courtship up to
Nov. last when she and Mr. Fry took the
train for Pittsburg to get married They
registered at the Hotel Anderson as man and
wife, and the widow was shown to room So.
Mr., Fry went out TO transact some business
and when he came back he had changed his
mind about the marriage and there was no
ceremony. The plaintiff then related how
she had endeavored to induce him to keep his
promise, and concluded with a dramatic re-
cital Of her last conference with him, when
no denounced her as "liarn and an "adven-
turessn

Woes Of the Wealthy.

Bad health afilicts the millionaire as
it does the pauper. Many modern
Midas has the dyspepsia and he cannot
eat the dainty things which his French
cook brings him. A writer says in the
Ohio State Journal:
Amos Lawrence of Boston, did not
dare to tempt his stomach by eating
with his family, and had to confne him
self to oatmeal cruel. Jay Gould lately
telegraphed to London doctor for Q
cure for neuralgia, and the pills which
he received in response did not help him
bit. All the millions in the world
will not stop the jumping toothache.
Mrs. A. T. Stewart paid $32 900 yea
to three physicians during her latter
days and died at last. She was not
happy under the process, and all of
Mayor Hewitt's wealth will not drive
away insomnia Insomnia is the ghost
of many rich man, and l doubt that
Hewitt would give many thousand
dollars to know that it would never visit
him again He had in Washington dur
ing his congressional career a half dozen
different houses and could not buy sleep
at the highest rental rates. During part
OF the time he lived at Wormley's hotel
and had the whole top floor reserved for
him. He would travel from one bed
room to another night after night seek
ing soporifc pillow, but his efforts
were often in vain, and the growing of
the cocks, the yelling of the cats and
the barking of the dogs drove sleep
from his eyelids A baker who was
probably happy when he made S. day,
lived near Hewitt's Washington house
This bakers name was Kaiser, and this
Kaiser had dog. The dog disturbed
Hewitt night after night, and Hewitt
made such fuss about it that his
trouble was published ia the papers
throughout the country. Kaiser, how
ever, would not sell the dog, and the
rich man was forced to listen to it.

Rare American Coins.

The only nickel three-ccnt piece
worth premium is that of 1877, which
brings fifteen cents, but the little old
three-cent silver pieces from 1868 to
1878, inclusive, all have premiums on
them ranging from fifteen to fifty cents.
The only nickel five-cent piece that is
worth a premium is the one of 1877,
which is worth fifteen cents.
The quarter of 1853, similar in APP
pearance to the present issue, which has
on its reverse side no lines back OF the
eagle, is worth So so. Some of the
older twenty five cent pieces BRING
much more, that of 1928 bring
ing SIS and that of 1927
bringing $50. Among the half
dollars there are several with premiums.
That of 1776 is worth $50; that of 1897
$18, and there are smaller premiums for
those of 1894, 1895, 1901, 1902, 1915,
1885 and 1852.
The silver dollars come next in order,
among the most valuable being those of
1894 (bust of Liberty with flowing
hair, worth $25; 1886 worth $t5; 80
worth $40; '51a and '52 worth $50 each;
and SO worth $40. Other dates with
premiums among the later issues are
1854, So, '56, 81, 81, G3, GA, 'G5 and CT.
The last five must be sharp impressions
to be worth more than their face value.
The coin highest in denomination worth
a premium is the $50, or double eagle Of

Those fsociety balls" were conducted
with great propriety and reserve. The
claim of every person of both sexes to
be admitted having been previously de-
termined by the responsible and trusty
committee, there was sort of tempo
rary and conventional equality on the
terpsichorean floor; and therefore every
gentleman had the privilege to invite
lady, without the formality of an intro
duction, to figure in the dance as his
partner. After it was over, he escorted
her back respectfully to her seat, with
out presuming, if unknown and not
duly presented, to remain standing be-
fore her, or to sit by her side, to con-
tinue the conversation, or to prolong
the accidental acquaintance. During
the intervals of dancing, the gentlemen
walked up and down between the rows
of ladies that densely lined the
hall, some merely bowling as they
passed to those whom they knew, and
others stopping to converse. No woman,
married or single, joined in this prone
nading with male companion as is the
custom in these present days and the eye
of lynx could not have detected the
slightest Irritation. The word itself is
not known, for the thing it means is for
Louisiana modern invention, which
had not then been patented and brought
out for public use. In fact, this pecul
lar pastime would have been impossible
to attempt; it would have produced

The Partisan Shops.

Business people in Paris have long
since formed color speech by which
certain trades are easily recognized.
First of all, the color shops are distin-
guished by being painted outside in
squares and stripes Of the brilliant colors.
Viennese leather, bronze and trinket
shops have begua to use the Austrian
colors; yellow and black; then tho
Spanish wine shops use yellow and redi
the Italian green, white and red. The
business places where furniture carts for
removal are kept are painted yellow, as
well as the wagons why, not even the
proprietors know. Pastry shops are
light trown outside, and within white
and gold, so that one is reminded Of the
pastry itself.
Milk shops are white and blue, both
inside and out. The washerwomen now
begin to paint the outside Of their iron
ing shops bright blue, while the carts
that take the linen to the wash-houses in
the country are bright green. Wine
houses are all painted brown, or a dull
red, which is exactly the color Of the
vim ordinarie mixed with cranberry
juice and logwood. Still darker is the
color of the charcoal shops, which the
dust soon renders completely black.
Bakers are fond Of light brown and
white, with much gliding and large
mirrors. - Court journal.

Regulating MaIadies By Dict.

BY fasting from sugar, or from meats,
or other specific articles Of food, itlooks
as though the distinguished patient, tho
crown prince of Germany, might at least
benefit the suffering world by the value
found in the experiments he is said to
be undergoing The control of some
maladies by food is what every enlght-
cned physician now aims at. Teething
babies are fed to suit their symptoms
rather than treated with drugs. AS the
Ledger pointed out some years ago, the
time will come when human beings
will have some share at least of the good
supervision that blooded animal stock
has had for years in their food and
treatment in order to improve their
condition, health, muscle, endurance,
speed, symmetry of form, etc. The
stock grower has given the healing CT
ence many points in these respects. One
great use in special hospitals, such as
the cancer ward established here in the
Home for Incurables, is that they give
good chances to observe, simultaneous
ly, the results of various foods. Side by
side are the patients who are deprived
of sugar and those who are not allowed
meats, those who have some electric
treatment, those who take hot water
plentIfulIy or who live on cranberries.
Observations of these may add to soien-
tifc knowledge in return for the tender
care that shelters and provides for them.

A Good Word for RattIesnakes.

As to the cussedness Of the rattlesnake,
says J. w. Scott in the Philadelphia
Press, would like to correct very
common error These otherwise danger
Gus reptiles always give warning, and
never bite unless roughly trod upon or
incautiously caught with the hand On
a cold, rainy or damp day, when partly
torpid, they give no alarm, aud wall not
bite under any circumstances. A man
may take them up and fold them around
his neck without harm. The same may
be done at other times, but the per-
former must be extremely cautious. He
may touch any part Of the snakes body
except the tail or rattles. The RATHER
has wel-knowa but unwritten law:
Thou shalt not suffer an lyman to touch
thy tail or thy rattles, on pain Of death
to the offender" Observing this law,
an expert may handle one Of these
reptile monsters almost any time with
absolute impunity 1t is needless to
say, however, that do not recommend
such performance as an everyday exer-
else. Even an unloaded gun will some
times 60 off unexpectedly.

The Hearts Call.

He rides away in early light,
Amid the tingling frost,
And in the mist that sweeps her sight,
His form is quickly lost.
He crosses now the silent stream,
Now skirts the forest drear,
Whose thickets cast a silver CLEAN
From LEAKAGE thin and sere.
Long falls the shadow at his back
Che morning springs before;
His thoughts fly down the Swallowed track,
And haunt his cottage door.
Miles gone, upon hilltop bare
He draws a sudden rein:
His name, her voice, rings on the air,
Then ali is still againl
She sits at home, she speaks no word,
But deeply calls her heart;
And this it is that he has heard,
Though they are miles apart.
