who shall after this act impose upon,

COURTSHIP AND MARRIAGE.

Belva Lockwood says the great
trouble is that we have been educating
the girls to get married. They have
been taught that their sole aim in life
should be to catch husband. AS
consequence, young girls marry COM
mercially; in fact, almost any kind of a
marriage is made, the purpose seeming
to be to get some one to support them.
Such system is mere prostitution and
decidedly immoral. There should be
no excuse for marriage, except strong
and pure love.

While strolling out one lovely eve,

To promise me her hand and heart

Pointed to the evening star
That shines SO brightly from afar.

That shines so brightly overhead!
Till that star shall cease to shine
All my love, yes all is thine"
Five long years have passed away
Since, to me, that happy day;
But keep her word, l know she will,
And the star is shining still.

And I'll claim my little one
Whom five years ago | won.

JUSTICE AND MERCY BLEND,

At the Suggestion of w. j. Florence and
Some Lawyers, in Behalf of Children.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Magee sent for
Superintendent Dean, of the Anti-Cruelty So
ciety and asked him if he could take charge of
three small children, then in court Mrs
Christina Hoff, widow living in Elizabeth
township, had been brought into court on a
process tc answer a charge of selling liquor in
q prohibitory district. Mrs. Hoff has four
children, the youngest babe in arms, and she
had all Of them with her. Judge Magee did
not think il best that the three elder children
should be sent to jail, if he should be obliged
TO send their mother there for safe keeping
Superintendent Dean informed the Court that
he would take the children and find them CON-
Portable homes while their mother was i'm
prisOned. if that should occur.
Mrs Hof and her children were placed in
charge of a Deputy Sheriff and sent to the
Sheriffs Office to wait until the case was called
up. The little ones complained of hunger, and
Superintendent Dean gave the officer money to
get them dinner.
As the officer, with the family in charge, was
leaving the Office, Major E. A, Montooth and
W. J. Florence, the actor, came in. Major
Montooth asked what the convoy meant, and
Superintendent Dean explained.
4 am at your service, +" said Major Montooth,
ence went down in his pocket, and pulled out
handful of silver, which he gave to Mrs Hoff.
When they had had their dinners they were
taken into court. and Major Montooth had the
case called up. Colonel W. d. Moore hap
pened to come in learned of the circumstances
and at once volunteered as additional counsel.
William Reardon, Esq. had his attention at
tracted, and Joined forces with Montooth and
Moore. He picked up the smallest child, and
held it up that the Court might see how young
1t was, Slipping qutater into the youngsters
hand as he set it down. 1t vas the best de-
Tended case that has been seen in the court for
months The three lawyers did their best, and
Nr. Florence who stayed until the END, whis-
pered something in Judge Magee's ear, the Judge
smiling and Dodding an answer. Mrs. Hoff told
her story, and Judge Magee released her on
her own recognizance until tomorrow.
Mr.. Florence shook hands with Judge Magee
as he left the bench, and congratulated him on
blending mercy and wisdom so happily. The
case was out of the ordinary routine at the
Court House, and attracted considerable at
tention.

JUDGE MAGEE yesterday handed down an
opinion appointing John W. Hare as Super
visor of Sterrett township. At the election in
February Hare and his opponent, McMinn, re-
ceived a tie vote. Judge Magee said in his opin-
ion that he was influenced in making the ap-
pointment by the numerical strength of the
petitions of the respective candidates and so
appointed Hare. He could not go behind the
returns.
In the Criminal Court yesterday Perry Bailey,
who has been on trial since Monday morning
on charges preferred by Miss Jennie Davis, was

THE case of Elizabeth Kerr against George
Elbourne, the Allegheny saloon keeper, for
damages for the death of her husband, was
concluded yesterday. The testimony was to
the effect that Kerr was intoxicated when he
entered Elbourne's saloon and was refused
drink there. Wickline, the man with whom
Kerr quarreled, testified that he did not think
that Kerr got any liquor at Eloburne's. Judge
Ewing instructed the Jury to render verdict
for the defendant, and they did SO.
THE County Commissioners yesterday heard
appeals from the assessments in the Twenty
sixth ward. This was one of the districts in
which the assessors return showed a decrease
in valuation from that of the last triennial
assessment, although the property has in
creased in value, and many Improvements have
been made. The commissioners, acting as the
Board of Revision, made a general increase
over the assessors figures of from 10 to 20 per
cent But few appeals were received.

A Boon for Suffering Woman.

If there are times In life that try mems
souls, there are also times that try women's
souls. As woman's organization in general
is more delicate than mans, so she has spe-
cial functions OF a far more delicate charac-
ter, which render her much more liable to
arrangement and disease, and which require
much more skillful and careful treatment.
No class of diseases tests physicians skin
or a medicines efficacy more severely than
female diseases. No medicine has ever
proved itself more successful in the cure of
such diseases than Pe-ru-na. In that most
trying of periods, which every middle-aged
woman must pass through, Pe-ru-na has
proved a true boon to the sex. 81 had been
a great sufferer for three years, writes Mrs.
S. Smith, of Hillsville, Pa. 81 had given
up all hope, when 1 commenced taking Pc
ru-na and Man-a-lin. Now am as we'll as
ever in my life" Regulate the bowels with
Man-a-lin. For sale by all druggists.
