A Physician Finds Something Far More
HeaIth-Giving Than Medicine.
DR.. Joseph Dickson, an enthusiastic hunts
man and sportsman, who has Just returned
from two weeks camp at the forks of the
Cheat river, is very emphatic regarding the
benefits to be derived from an outing of
that kind, though he admits that if every
one availed himself of that manner of gain
ing health he would be forced to try some
other profession for livelihood. "Our
party said the genial physician, ''con-
sisted of ten people, and each one had some
special work to perform, which was done
with great regularity. For instance, young
Bennett Graf was elected chief cook, and
right here l may say that he will always be
held in grateful remembrance by the boys
for he did give some sumptuous layouts.
Others were delegated to the dishwashing,
the. carrying of water and wood, cleaning
the fish, etc.
"We were sc miles from a postofice or
telegraph station, and IL miles from any
human habitation, with practically three
rivers to fish in-the Cheat proper and its
two branches The number of trout we
caught was something wonderful. Why,
one day we landed" The number is not
given, though, out of respect to the hitherto
unblemished reputation DIR. Dickson has
borne f9S yeracity.

CANNING THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
Prospects That Everything in Sight Will Be
Preserved This Year.

Prospects That Everything in Sight Will Be
Preserved This Year.
''The country people are taking ad-
vantage of the reduction in sugar to an
alarming extent" yesterday said the pro-
prietor of a modest, unassuming little gro
Gerry store in the lower portion of town,
where is kept ''on tap" as it were, the
breakfasts, dinners and suppers of the many
busy people who live in that district. 'I
think from the amount of sugar they are
buying that the whole State of Pennsyl-
vania will be preserved before autumn. 1t,
used to be that we sold sugar entirely by
the dollar to out-of-town trade, but now the
housewife from the country" elevates her
nose at the mere suggestion of quantity
less than barrel. You would hardly think
it, but we shipped IA barrels last week from
our store to one county-that of Mercer
which, to be truthful, I must own is my
home and where I have the largest outside
trade. Other counties we have 'sugared
up proportionately, and the prospects are
next season will be the sweetest one the
country has ever known.
"City people, too, are doing their share
of canning and preserving, judging from the
amount of sugar they are buying, but OF
coursed they depend more largely upon the
stores for their sweets during the winter
than do their country cousins. 1t is re-
markable, though, how the people in town
give the canned stuff the go-by at this sea-
son of the year. My canned goods shelves
have always disconsolote, woe-begone,
forsaken look during the summer months,
that disappears entirely as winter ap-
proaches, when they rebound into public
favor Nothing but green stuff goes now
adays, even if it costs more than it does in
cans"

AN APPROPRIATE TEXT.
The Basis of Sermon Laid on a Rather
Ridiculous Little Incident.

The Basis of a Sermon Laid on a Rather
Ridiculous Little Incident.
As the campmeeting season is now on, an
amusing incident of last year at Valley
Camp is recalled, in which very high
priced gentleman, dealer in mems FUR
nishing goods, figured prominently, as he
does in all things Methodistic. Several cot
tages are in close proximity to an open-alr
auditorium, and on the pretty piazza of one
of them sat the immaculate hero, arrayed In
an outing suit especially becoming to his
peculiar style of beauty, topped off with
jaunty tennis cap that covered his slightly
bald head. He was the cynosure of hall
dozen pairs of maidenly eyes, In
spite Of the fact that lovely wife and two
interesting children formed a picturesque
trio on the opposite end of the piazza The
well-knitted, athletic frame of this perfect
specimen of manhood was seated in gen.
erous-sized rocking-chair that, like many OF
its kind, was considerable of a traveller, and
in the course of 10 minutes steady rocking
had reached a point very close to the
iumping-off place of the porch.
Rev. Mr. Leake, then pastor of the North
Avenue N. E. Church, was to address the
assemblage that morning, and had already
taken his place in the pulpit. The morning
HYMN had been finished and death-like
stiffness was reigning during the words of
prayer when, 10! crash and a scream-not
woman 's-broke the quiet of the place. A
hasty glance revealed rocking chair and
man struggling for supremacy on the grass,
some three feet below the level OF the
piazza. With face from which merriment
could not be obliterated, DR.. Leake an
nouced the words of his text, 'tHelp Thou
Up the Fallen Brother"

ROBERT WHITE ONCE MORE AT HIS
POST AND A HAPPY MAN.
A Few Facts Concerning Him Whicn
Would Awaken the Sympathy OF the
Most Hardanad IndiuiduaI.

A Few Facts Concerning Him Which
Would Awaken the Sympathy OF the
Most Hardened Individual
Many inquiries having been made concern
ing the present condition and future pros.
poets OF some of the supposed ''incurables
who have sought treatment at the Electrical
and Medical Institute at 442 Penn avenue,
the following statement of facts was elected
from one of their number, Mr. Robert White,
Of Negley avenue, E. E., well-known
gripman of the Citizens Traction Com
pany. He states that being of sound con-
st1tution, he took the position OF grip
man over two years ago, and through
exposure contracted a deep cold, which
settled in his feet in the form of infiamma-
tory rheumatism. Suffering agonlzing
pains in his infamed and swollen feet, he
was disabled from work and compelled to
apply to a physician. After months OF
treatment, without benefit, he applied to
another with the same result. Still hoping
for relief from his suffering, he sought other
faith cures, and every other means within
reach, but all was in vain. Hope also had
nearly departed, when he was at last in
formed by his physician that his case was
1ncurable, and that "the man who should
cure him would become famous" His con-
dition was now so critical that he was un-
able to walk upon his bare feet, and after
removing his shoes was compelled to crawl.
In despair at the thought of remaining
cripple for the remainder of life, and
exhausted with severe pain, he would
s'roll upon the floor and cry like a child"
His faithful wife at length noticing an ad-
vertisement of the above named institute,
urged him to 60 and make one more effort
to regain his health. This he accordingly
did, and with most fattering results. After
a few weeks of treatment, benefits were
realized and he was able to resume his voca-'
tion without interruption, excepting dur
ing rainy weather, as advised by the med
ical director. Galvanic and faradic cleo
tricity has been the curative agent, together
with specific medical treatment which has
been followed throughout. While other
cases Of minor Importance are being daily
cured, this one is especially remarkable and
is commented upon by his friends, who
congratulate him upon his happy improve
ment.

LADIES AS LETTER WRITERS.
A Railroad Man Explains How They Gather
Their Information.

Their Information.
District Passenger Agent E. D. Smith, of
the Baltimore and Ohio, hasn't the highest
opinion in the world regarding the capa-
bilities of woman as letter writer. Conf
dentially he says: ga woman can out
distance any man ever knew in writing
more and saying less in the greatest number
of letters. My knowledge of the feminine
world in that particular is gained from my
excursion business, where woman will
write half dozen letters and then at the
end. of the correspondence suddenly dis
cover that she has omitted to ask the most
important, to ber, of all questions, and will
send quick-delivery letter to gain,
possibly, the only real piece of
information in the whole transac-
tion. As rule / am patience on a
monument in dealing wit the fair ones, but
sometimes get both ratified and wrathy,
and dictate, as I did to-day, letter to
maiden in Steubenville, that further infor-
nation would be cheerfully furnished at
our office in this city.
"But in spite of that serious drawback
we are doing a great business with the
ladies; more this summer than ever before.
Feminine parties are as thick as hops on
the excursions A very large one COM
posed of city school teachers will go to At
lantic next Thursday and they are prepar-
ing for a glorious old time, too. The old
idea that women should not travel without
male protection is rapidly passing into de-
cline" -.-

man to smart little woman who appeared

prise.

"Pshawl' cried the oil man, "that's an
old story. I've been here before, and drunk
beer in the house many time"

woman, "that I haven't any beer, but, I"
an sweetly demure expression crept over
her face, 'I have some very fine California
wine, if you care for it. -
And when the oil men got home that
night they vowed they would never again
drink old Monongahela under the guise of
cider out of beer mugs.

A CHANGED VILLAGE.
The Oil Boom Has Made an An-Night Town
Out of Mcdonald.

Out of Mcdonald.
Mcdonald is a,changed village since the
oil boom struck the town, /" remarked A. II.
Logan last evening formerly the lights
were put out early and the good people
sought rest in peaceful slumber. All this
is changed. Mcdonald is an all-night place
now. Speak-easies are in full blast, and it
has become a typical oil town. The back
wards are full Of derricks, and it is one of
the promising oil fields
sT think can claim the honor of being
the pioneer in that section. When came
to Pittsburg seveal years ago, I hadn't been
engaged in active field operations. After
7going over the surrounding country set
tied on Mcdonald as the most desirable To-
cation. 1 saw men daily pass the place,
sinking dry holes and dropping money
freely in Ohio and West Virginia. l couldn't
get them to look at the Mcdonald
territory. At first I had great trouble
in getting leases. The farmers wouldn't
lease until they had sold their
coal. Finally secured time lease from
Senator Mcdonald, whose subsequent death
upset nv plans. But here am, and Nc
Donald has turned out better than ex-
pected The time was when plenty of
money could have been made there, but the
chances are all taken. I am satisfied with
what I have. The people seem to think
they are in the swim if they have a well
going down on their lot, but an oil well
does not insure fortune In addition Nc
Donald is the easiest field to reach from
Pittsburg, being not more than Is miles out

consequence, our stack is smokeless

there as ever, but it is no longer any fault of
ours. About 200 trains a day pass the sta

trace of him was ever found. Mr.. Lunney
received verdict for 81 200 damages.
Judge Ewing, in his opinion, said that
to him the weight of the testimo ny
seemed to largely preponderate in favor
of the theory that the boy fell into the
break in the 9ue and was consumed, and
the ashes scattered by the fierce flame and
strong current in the fiue before his loss
was discovered or even suspected: The case
had been well and carefully tried on the
part of the defendants and 1t was not
likely that on another trial the verdict
would be for the defendants. The motion
for new trial was refused.
