Llfe Worth the Living.

Life seems better worth living
now to the town of Kittaning,
Pa. The circus has been and
gone; the courtand shops close-y
the gamblers took away with
them all the cash in town; but
Kittaning has had a taste OF
maddening metropolitan de-
lights. For a year to come she
will reteil the story of that orgy
around the stove and the do.
nestle hearth, and cackle and
carry herself with a ruffiing all
as one who has seen life and
drained the cup. This expert
ence was dirt cheap at the price
of all the money there was in
Kittaning on a giving day.

NOTHING SO extremely ludi-
crous ever occurred in the poll
tical history of Ohio, as the re-
cent performance of Mckinley
at Piqua. A great tin-plate
mill had been advertised as be-
ing in full tide of successful OPP
Grafton in that city, and it was
deemed important that the
flake" should be made to give
eclat to the late Mckinley meet
ing there, and be made a part Of
the report thereof. To this end
the managers of the gathering
borrowed 500 lbs. of lead from
the Superintendent of the wa
ter-works, made a molten bath
Of it, and got Mckinley TO dip a
plate of corrugated iron into it.
That's the sort of a tin. plate
mill they have in Piqua.

A vandersnt Sued by q Grocer.

Some rather curious and interesting
facts concerning branch of the Wander
bilt family have been brought to light
through the recent suit of Engelke & Co..
of White Plains, N. j., against Mrs.
Sophia Vanderbilt Morse for $4,000
grocery bill.
Mrs. Morse was the favorite grand
daughter Of the old Com modore. Charges
are made by the grocers that DIR. b. NJ.
Keeney. of No. FOG Edgecome avenue has
exerted peculiar influence over Mrs
Morse which may possibly account for
the mysterious disappearance of her
income Of $4,000 Both indignantly deny
such an impufatfon.
Mrs. Morse declares that the ertire
amount OF the bill is but s275. aud gives as
a reason for its non-payment that when
her husband died In 1885 he left a great
many debts which she has paid off to
the extent OF $780, 900. 1t has also cost her
much money TO maintain the litigation
yet pending over her mothers will.
The grocers aliege that she has con-
fessed an Indebtedness to DR.. Keenev of
$50, 900. Mrs. Morse admits she owed the
grocery firm IS, 200 at the time of her hus-
hands death, but says she had paid 1t all
of except $275.

evening throughout the year at Shrinerss
Hall, on Rose avenue.
The standard of music Is higher than
it ever was, and the skill exhibited by the

the simplest. and was found by the men,
