cheerf0lness. His ardent sympathy with
nature and humanity, and his lively
sense of humor, gave him thousands of
admirers among his political adversaries,
but he well proved his ability as legis-

did not receive adequate recognition was
due largely to his own modesty, and

Her Husbands Death.
The coroner's jury in the billiard mur-
der case reconyened in Easton on Monday
evening and at a late hour that night rem
dered the following verdict
We find that on the morning of Sep
tember o, about l:i0 o'clock. the said Aaron
Washington billiard came to his death on
his premises, suddenly, from hcmorrhages
produced by gunshot wound of the chest
and abdomen. From the evidence adj
duced before the coroner we, the Jury, be-
lcvc that said shot was fred from n gun
In the hands of William. bartholomew, of
Allen township. We also believe that
Margaret A. billiard, wife of Aaron Wash
ington billiard, is an accessory 10 the crime
and We recommend her arrest"
AZ O'Clock Monday evening the remains
were lowered in grave in the Pctorsville
cemetery and LEFT there uncovered until
next morning to give all who desired to do
SO an opportunity 10 gaze down at the face
from the edge of the tomb. Services were
held Tuesday morning at the home of the
murdered man by Rev. j. +. Smith, of
Bath. Detective johnson remained at
BeorsNllie all night, and after tho funeral
placed Mrs. billiard under arrest.

A Crippled College.

The New York papers have called atten-
tion to the desperate condition OF Johns
Hopkins university, by the depreciation
Of Baltimore 4 Ohio stock held by that
institution. The Baltimore people hasten
todeay that their pet institution of learn
Eng is In desperate straits at all, though
It did appear to be in danger some
months ago. Friends of the university
raised enough money to keep il in full
operation for three years, and II is hoped
that by that time the B. 4 .. will be ON
it, feet again and paying dividends. The
late John w. Mccoy opportunely left it
ahundred thousand dollars outright, and
- will get as much more as residuary
lcgatee. 1t would have been too bad If
the effect Of Baltimore's great celebration
should be spoiled by any news of the
gloomy sort, and IL is pleasing to find
this splendid memorial Of that well
meaning but not very wise old Quaker
Hopkins, standing up 80 bravoly against
the first financial troubles in its history
The effective application Of its great
wealth made IL one of the best known
workshops of scholars and scientists in
the world, and great deal of credit
should be given to the men who planned
and directed its development on lines so
substantial and firm that II now has little
to fear from few years of poverty, and
may even get along If its huge endow-
ments should prove n total loss. Our
local college is an illustration of the fact
that money is not the only thing that
makes worthy home of learning, and
: manya wealthy college is Of far less real
value. Wealthy men bent on college
endowment should remember this, and
instead Of founding new colleges, should
help along the poor but vigorous insti.
tutions all over the land.

WE have received. with the compliments
of Thos. J. Stewart, secretary of internal
affairs, part three of the annual report for
Isss dealing with the industrial statistics OF
the state. II IL neatly bound and printed
volume composed I'm two-thirds OF tables
of statistics and the remainder OF profusely
illustrated descriptions OF industries. The
appalling array of pages on pages OF figures
concerning wages may contain informa-
ton of great value TO n student of social
science or n statistical sharp, and the sta
tistics of building associations may delight
the soul of a finapcier, but 1t lis shrcwdly sus-
pectcd that the whole volume brought more
profit and pleasure TO the printer thereof
than il will ever furnish TO any other
mortal. The collection and dissemination
of information on these points IL 70
doubt duty of the state, but 1t Is
pity that IL is not moro thoroughly
digested and condensed for publication
1t would be better to spend more In work
ing down these statistics and 10 spend less
In the publication Of reports, doomed To
rest unopened and dusty for many year
until they reach the paper mill along with
other government literature Of the same
transient value. The last part of this
volume is embellished with score Of
phototype illustrations bearing on in
dustrial art, and the manufacture of
wooden warn. both Of which are well
treated. The Pennsylvania Museum and

described.

THE Red Cross society built an expert
IN entail apartment house at Johnstown,
which proved so acceptable that several
others are being erected. The people who
live in them of course only do so as n
make-shift until until they can have seIa-
rate homes, though the cheapness and con
vience may perpetuate this way of living,
These houses are built somewhat after
the fashion of n passenger steamer, with
the apartments arranged around a central
hall-the hall being used as dining room.
These apartments are rented in suites To
families al a minimum cost, and board can
be had at very low figure. Twenty
families can thus be cared for in each of
these buildings, at n much less cost than
having separate roof for each family. -
The society provides furniture and bed
ding and employs janitor, and the idea Is
warmly praised.

The September Limited Sale
was caught in the rain yester-

reason why you may buy to-day

cent less than cost.
Perhaps you have forgotten
why we call this the Limited
Sale. Let us repeat three
reasons
Frst-The special lots being
sold at prices having no
relation to values are of
course Llmited IN qna,a-
hy.
.Secona-The great crowding
interests OF our Autumn
business demand atten-
ton. We cannot afford to
put them off. Therefore
this sale is limited BY
Tine.
1hird---Our store, big as it
is, is too small to care for
all that we have to show
you this Autumn. Space
therefore as a limitation.
For these good reasons the
Limited Sale will soon be over.

There is No Scramble.

The Des Moines Leader, the Du-
buque Telegraph and one or two 9TH
er Democratic papers deprecate what
they are pleased to call scramble
for the places at the disposal of Mr..
Boies. What they fear has no exist
ence.
The PLAIN DEALER has named a
gentleman for Adjutant- General ev-
eryway worthy Of the office. for that
reason and because the Republican
press Of the State has assumed that
the Democrats have none suitable
for the places. Any Of the persons
named for the place, SO far as We
know. we can cordially endorse.
And SO for the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. DIR. Hutchins has simply
been a paid political lecturer for the
Republican party at the cost Of the
people. We are in favor Of retiring
him and giving the Office to j. X.
Sovereign. Walt. H. Butler or some
other good and true man who will
represent the cause of labor first and
fill political appointments for our
side at the cost Of the people.
There is no scramble, gentlemen,
SO don't get alarmed. All that is de-
manded is change.
