One Thing is Yet Lacking.
There is only one thing that Ford City is
rot yet possessed of. That is cemetery.
Thus far there has been no need OF one. The
people are remarkably healthy. Among the
residents there is absolutely no contagious dis
ease, and the two physicians have very little
to do. As great many of the workmen who
live here are foreigners, with large families
and continental ways of living, this fact i'm
pressed the writer as wonderful. Inquiry

in the whole history of the town. One
woman had a theory that the phenomenal
health o: the community was due in part to
the large amount of copperas used in the
manufacture and finish of plate glass. This
may or may not be the case, but certainly
the public health is also benefited by the
warm, roomy and substantial houses pro-
vided for the people, and also by the plenty
fulness of food as a result of cheap prices.
At any rate, the company has not as yet had
occasion to add graveyard to their unique
city on the shore of the Allegheny.

The Canal Commission Holding Quiet
Meetings in Capt. John A Woods Office
Preliminary Report Made to the Gov
ernor-Preparing the Final Report.
On the dead quiet, the Ship Canal Com
missioners are holding sessions these days at
Capt John A. Woods Office, Wood and
Water streets. The preliminary report has
been made to the Governor, and the Com
mission is now at work on the final one to
be made to the Legislature. The length of
the session is at present indefinite, though
an adjournment will likely be taken tor
Christmas. The Commission has been at
work over 13 months, and has held more
than that many regular meetings, beside
some special ones.
All proposed routes have been carefully
considered and the one recommended will
be that of the Beaver and Sbenango Valley.
Mr. Goodwin states that reasons therefor are
convincing 1t is the intention of the COM
missioner to have its report published in
pamphlet form and a copy laid on the desk
of each legislator when the Legislature COLI

will receive more attention than If simply

he said.
For moment the negress hesitated, and
then sat down, after incoherehtly murmur-

The episode created sensation among
the passengers, all Of whom were men.
As the unknown gentleman was leaving
the car a friend was overheard to ask him:
"George, you are getting nearsighted?"
"No; why do YOU ask such question:"
"Why? Because you gave up your seat

COURT HOUSE THIEF.
District Attorney Johnston Robbed of
0yerc0at and Hat.
A TRIP IN BORROWED GARMENTS.
Glass Men Indicted for Employing Chill
dren in Their Works.
SCRAPS OF NEWS FROM THE COURTS

While District Attorney Johnston was in
Criminal Court yesterday morning sending
old acquaintances to the workhouse someone
entered his office and helped himself to the
best to be had.
Mr.. Johnston is known to be good
dresser, and for the past week he has been
wearing an overcoat and seal cap that made
him the envy of many people. This over
coat and cap Mr.. Johnston placed in his
office while he was at work trying cases in
the Criminal Court Shortly before noon
yesterday some miscreant entered the Dis
trict Attorneys Office and purlolned the
aforesaid coat and cap. When Mr.. john
ston decided that mis- appetite craved
dinner he discovered the robbery,
and a vigilant search was made, but
neither the thief nor the garments could
be found. The tipstaves of Criminal Court,
under the marshalship of Tom Pender,
started out on the trail, but returned at 4:3O
empty handed. The result of this was that
Mr.. Johnston missed his dinner and had to
go home in an overcoat and hat borrowed
from Charley Pagan.
1t is safe to say that if the thief is ever ap-
pretended Attorney Johnston will not be
found on the defendants side of the table.

Matron Can Read a Woman's Character
in Her Hearth.
Dorothy in the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.]
A certain wise old lady said to the writer
recently: ST always judge a woman by the
hearth she keeps. Show me the fire she sits
by, and I'll tell you her character" She
was right, as you will know if you think a
minute. From time immemorial the CHEEKY
hearth has been a symbol of home and its
comforts, but when it is disorderly, unswept
or choked with ashes, it ceases to be a joy or
a luxury.
The room may be poor, and the fire tiny
one, but if the dog-irons are bright and
erect, the poker, tongs and shovel marshaled
side by side in military order, the hearth
swept clean, the bricks as red as scrubbing
brush can make them, and the fire blazing
cheerily, the scantiness of the furniture will
not matter and home will seem the dearest
thing on earth. By the way, will anything
ever take the place of the old open fire.
place? Beside it the furnace in the cellar
is an abomination, and the CRATE is a new
tangled make-believe.

Diphtheria and Tetanus.

= A course of experiments in the Hygienic
Institute at Berlin has demonstrated that
animals suffering from either diphtheria or
tetanus can be cured by the incubation of
the serum from the blood of animals already
infected. 1t is claimed, first, that the blood
of rabbits protected from tetanus possesses
the property of destroying the tetanus
poison; second, that this property it pos
sesses by the non-cellular serum obtained
from the blood; third. that this property is
of so constant nature that it also remains
active in the organism of other animals, so
that notable therapeutic effects are produced
by the TRANSMISSION of blood or serum, and
fourth, that the property of destroying the
tetanus virus is absent in the blood of those
animals which are not protected against
tetanus

HIS CROP OF SNAKES.
Genuine Reptile Farm in the Southwest,
Well Cultivated.

A Genuine Reptile Farm in the Southwest,
Well Cultivated.
Day before yesterday met a man who IS
probably the only bona-fde snake charmer
in America, says writer in the New York
Star. He has been in town seeing about
placing his fall snake crop. 1t seems very
odd to hear him talk of "my crop of snakes,
but he means every word of it, for he has a
genuine snake farm in the Southwest.
The farm proper consists of pen some
% feet in diameter. In the center OF TINS
pen is raised platform, accessible in safety
from the outside, on which visitors can
promenade out of reach Of the deadly fangs.
In the woods and wild swamps surrounding
the place legions of moccasins, cotton
mouths, rattlesnakes and copperheads are
found. These wilds are the seed bins from
which at times Mr.. Childs draws to replen-
ish his farm. At one side of the inclosure
is rabbit warren in which live some 80 or
60 bunnies. Their number, however, is
constantly changing. They never die OF old
age. They are the food of the snakes.
Between 500 and 600 reptiles are in the
farm at present, and most of them are in
tended for this falls slaughter. Only the
larger ones are used, as they yield a greater
amount of oil, skin and rattles than the
small ones. Mr.. Childs expects to harvest
800 ounces of oil this season, and has made
his price 81 per ounce. Aside from the oil.
he will have handsome crop of rattles and
tanned skins.
When an ounce or so of fresh oil is de-
sired, Mr.. Childs enters the pen and either
whistles with his lips or uses flute. The
snakes at once glide out of their holes and
gather round him, making peculiar purr-
ing sound with their rattles to denote their
pleasure. Selecting the largest and fattest,
Childs picks it up and cuts its head off with
his pocket-knife.

Christmas catches the meeting of the

very neatly, and just crowds it one day late
this week. According to custom, the meet

but it was changed this time to Friday
evening. It will, as usual, be held IN the
Academy of Science and Art building, on
Fifth street.
