zines and papers that would now be valu-
able. Some | cut out, but they are lost
Charming stories, wise remarks, proverbs,
directions for doing a great manv useful
and curious things are also lost. So much
do feel sure that have lost that would
give $50 apiece for the scrap-books of each
and every year that / might have made
from the time | was 10 years old till | be-
gan to preserve things only few years
back.
If YOU have no scrap book, get one and
put in it whatever pleases you. Hyou have
one and have not completed it, take it up
again. assure you that you will be very
glad afterwards. You can buy one very
cheap. Some require paste, but the one
invented by Mark Twain and sold in all
book stores, is arranged like postage
stamps. All you have TO do is to wet it
and lay on what you wish to save.
II you have the money, get one Of this
kind. 1t is cleaner and less troublesome
The others, however, will do well enough.
A bottle Of mucilege is all You need. Only
You must be careful not to drop any of the
sticky stuff or the pages, or they viii stick
together: when you open them, the sur
face of the paper will pull off and deface
the reading.
If you have not money to buy scrap
book or do not live where they are sold,
one may be made by taking any old, use
less book and cutting two leaves out of
every three down the back, but not close
enough to cause the book to come to
pieces. Then one of the remaining leaves
you can paste, using both sides. This will
make three thicknesses, and the book will
close as before.
1t is good idea to keep the scrap-book
handy. When you cut out anything lay
il in until a convenient time to paste them
all in. But the best way is to paste the
cutting when it is found.

no particular reason for this vacation, and it
is usually more or less broken in upon by
special meetings
In order to repress the enthusiasm of the
spectators, so often aroused by Council
manic flights of oratory, the Mayor is
ordered to detail poltce officers to act as
sergeants at arms at these sessions. The
ordinance covering this point is libellously
particular to specify that the detail made by
the Mayor snail be "from among the more
intelligent and efficient of his police force. I"
The duty of these officers, In addition to sup
pressing the applause aroused by the speech
of the member from the Thirty-seventh ward,
is 60 after Councilmen who leave their seats
and stay awav for more than Is minutes,
that length of time being considered ample
Tor the purchase of red lemonade or peanuts.
When the recreant Councilman is appre-
hended and taken before the President he
may be fined S5. unless he can excuse him
self to the satisfaction of Councils.
A member who rises to speak on an ordin-
ance for change of grade, or any other
subject of vital Importance, is expected to
address himself to the President. He is not
allowed to cast personal reflections, chairs
or inkstands at fellow member. If he does
he may be called to order, and if the case is
very fagrant he may be fined S., be censured
or expelled. Each member is confined to
ten minutes discourse on any one subject.
but this is one of the rules seldom needed.
There are a number of other things which
Councilman may or may not do, but the
easiest way to learn the rules is to serve
term in Councils

NO UNLIMITED RIGHTS

For Such Corporations ms Are Chartered
Under State Laws.
Rev. William J. Robertson, pastor of the
First o. P. Church of Allegheny. delivered
very interesting lecture on Chartered
Rights, Limited. Especially Those of Rail
road Corporations, at the Building Trades
Council Hall, last night, to a large and at
tentive audience, composed of mechanics
and workmen OF all kinds. The reverend
gentleman referred at the opening of
his address to the strike on the New York
Central Railroad, and deplored the fact that
the country at large had to suffer on account
OF these strikes, although in nowise respon-
sible for them, and argued that this being
the result of differences between railroad
magnates and their employees, it devolves
upon the people thus affectedto interfere
and bring the troubles to an amicable
settlement. The speaker held that as
all corporate rights were invested in
corporations by the State, to the State
then belonged the power to withdraw any
or all chartered rights thus accorded, when
the corporation endangered the public
welfare. He added:
"It may have been perfectly just for the
State, when railroad building was in its
infancy, to allow them unlimited power in
establishing rates of passage, for at that
period the railroad had not become an
indispensable institution. But in these
days it would be impolitic for the State to
vest railroad corporations with so much
extortive power, when the railroad
has made itself essential to the well
fare and prosperity of the whole nation.
To grant them such privileges now it can
be readily seen that the nation would be
completely at the mercy of such corpora
tions. Since the people have become de-
pendent upon railroad service, the wider
should the States control and restriction
become. The opinion prevails that the
time is not far distant when the State will
have to absorb the railroad lines and operate
them in the best interests of the people. As
rights are granted to highways whereon
but one railroad could be built, it would
be an imposition if such roads were
not operated for the people, and this
being the case, no Legislature can consist
emily grant corporate rights which are not
for the public welfare, and when they devil
ate from this rule it is the right OF the peo.
pie to abolish such institutions. Railroad
employees have a right to organize tor their
own protection under State laws, but it
seems the policy of railroad companies to
break up these organizations, and when any
differences arise hold that the Government
should settle the disputes and avert the
,toppage of traffic"

He said they had rather have tenant with

would make a contract for house that did
not have natural gas in it. Then, after
time, they would demand that it
be put in or they would leave.
To do so might not suit the owner, but he
most usually does it, whether provided for in
the contract or not, or tell the tenant to 90,
and thus run the risk of having an empty
house the remainder OF the year, and it is
generally good policy to allow the house to
go vacant. Another will make a kick be-

Will leave the house. no matter what are the
equities of the case. Another will raise a
rumpus about something else, and the only
remedy is to steer clear of such people, and
character is consequently worth more, in
the eye of an agency, than financial re-
sponsibility.

AT A DEADLOCK.
The Twenty.N Ninth Ward School Cannot
Decide on Teachers.

The Twenty-Ninth Ward School Cannot
Decide on Teachers.
The contest in the Twenty-ninth ward
school board, over the election of Miss Alma
Schafer to position as teacher, has resulted
in a deadlock, and unless the lady
withdraws, it is said that the
vacancies will not be filled before school
opens. 1t was thought that the matter was
settled some time ago by Miss Schafer being
appointed substitute teacher, but such was
not the case. Since that time two vacancies
have occurred and Miss Schafer's adherents
say she is entitled to one OF the positions.
A meeting OF the board was held last
night There were eight candidates, all of
whom received votes, the other 3 going to
Miss Schafer. Those who voted for the
young lady are DR.. /. W. Donnan, Edward
Evans, Esq, and A. j. Locke. The oppo-
sition consists OF Messrs. Theo. A. Weber,
G. q. Kauffield and John Benz. It is said
that if the vacancies are not filled by Sep
tember the citizens of the ward will ask
for a mandamus to compel an election, and,
that failing, new board will be appointed
BY the court.

TALKS OF OLD TIMES
INDUCED AT NFAMILy REuNIoN NEAR
WOODLAND

Representatives Sfthe Mckee Family Spend
a Pleasant Day Over "Reminiscences
Feastins. speeches and Song Make the
Occasion n Happy One.
A reunion of the Logstown Run McKees
was held yesterday at the Spaulding home
stead, near Woodlawn station, on the Penn
sylvania and Lake Erie Railroad. The
place chosen for the reunion was close to
the spot where the pioneer James Mckee
built his cabin in the year 1913. The de-
scendants of james and Betty Mckee are
represented to-day by over 20 families, and
a total of more than 100 individuals, who
are scattered over the country. but a ma
jority of whom are still at home in Beaver
county. Among the descendants are George
Y. Mckee, County Commissioner; Prof.
james Y. Mckee, Of the Pennsylvania
University, Bellefonte. The late John R.
McCune, President of the Union Bank,
was a grandson of the first settler on Logs
same place three years ago he was appointed
as member of the committee TO prepare
for the meeting yesterday.
There were present at yesterdays reunion
about 70 persons. The committee of ar
rangements were George M. Spaulding, of
Beaver Falls; George Y. and James Y.
Mckee, Cyrus p. Mckee, of Beaver Falls,
and David Reid, of Independence. After
a dinner such as leaves pleasant memories,
an organization was effected by electing Prof.
james Y. Mckee, president, and John II.
Young, secretary.
Rev. DR.. Collins, of fAlIegheny, addressed
the company in q few wellchosen words
concerning the pioneer, and led in singing
the 133d psalm, "Behold how good and how
pleasant thing it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity" He was followed by
addresses from Prof. Mckee and J. H.
Young, who spoke of the debt of gratitude
all owed to the stalwart pioneers who felled
the forests, developed the virgin soil and
laid the foundations of our institutions.
The rainy weather forced the company
within doors, but all were thus more closely
drawn together. and many heart was
deeply moved, and some eyes were dimmed
with tears by the memories of departed ones
and the good work they did for God and
country in their day.
A committee of four ladies and gentlemen
was appointed to arrange for another re-
union in August, 1892, consisting of James
L. Mckee, of Richland Center, Wis; Cyrus
Mckee and George Spaulding, of Beaver
Falls; David Reid, of Independence; Miss
Maria McCune, Mrs. Emma Mccormick,
Mrs. Cyrus Mckee and Miss Mary Shannon.
Prof. Mckee was appointed historian of the
Mckee clan, with instructions to gather all
facts of interest attainable concerning the
pioneers and their descendants, to be read
at the next reunion. The memory of the
1890 reunion will be a pleasant one to all
who were privileged to be present.

HOME FROM NOVA SCOTIA.

Mr.. r. w. Carroll Has an Interesting
Hotel Experience In ST. john.
R. W. Carroll, General Manager of the
American Iron and Tube Company, is home
from q trip to st. John, New Brunswick,
and other Provincial cities. While in st.
John Mr.. Carroll had an experience at a
hotel, which is in strong contrast with the
American idea of entertaining guests at
hotel. While he was down at breakfast one
morning, all his effects were removed from
his room without any inquiry being made
as to how long he would remain. He left
that day.
Since shipbuilding has been largely
abandoned, and the lumber business greatly
declined, Nova Scotia has paid considera-
BILE attention to her roads. Mr.. Carroll says
that they are mostly all macadamized and
in the very best possible condition.

Jail was Jennie Keenan,, aged about7 years,
who was committed last night by Alderman
Kerr. The child was fined S. and costs by

and the father said he could not do it. To
show he meant business, commitment was
made out and the child sent to Warden
Berlin. She was in Jail several hours when
the Alderman ordered her released.

DEATH RATE DECREASING.
The Report for Last Week Shows q Great

For the first time in many months the
weekly death list was less than for the cor
responding time last year. For the week
ending August 16 the number of deaths as
given BY the mortuary report was 81, against
Sc for the same week in 1889. The relief
from the torrid air is said to be the cause of
the change, and there is also proportionate
decrease in the number of deaths from dis
eases of the digestive system.
From diarrhea there were IL deaths, and
of these 10 were choleraic. Other causes
were: Consumption, 9; typhoid fever, s;
diphtheria, 6. Of the entire number 40
were under 5 years of age, and 26 of that
number were less than 1 year. Three were
between 20 and so years; one between so and
80, and one, from the Southside, over 100
years. The East End had 40; old city, %;

A PITTsBURG MAN IN IT.

The Wheeling Girl Who stole the Diamo nds
Being Kept Prisoner.
Ever since the arrest in this city Of Cora
Hamlin, alias T. E. Valkmler, charged with
the theft of diamonds valued at 81 400 from
Miss Chisnell, of Wheeling, she has been
kept close prisoner in the private Office of
Chief of Police Delbrugge, of that place.
1t is whispered that the reason she is kept
a prisoner might be learned if the name OF a
prominent business man of this city were
divulged. The restraining of the girl in the
Office of the Wheeling Chief of Police, or
rather the reason, is something of great
sensation in that city.
