Thoughts for the New Year.

u
Rumor often tells false tales.
The cincere are always es>
teemed.
Neglect no opportunity for do.
ing good.
We should be cheerful with
cut levity.
Weak minds are ruffled by
trihing things.
Excessive meriment is the
parent Of grief.
We should study to live peace>
ab,y with all men.
If we injure others, we must
expect retaliation.
Apollte address is sometimes
the cloak Of malice.
It is laudable to enquire be-
fere we determine.
The inquisitive and curious
are generally laxative.
Science strengthens and en-
larges the minds Of men,
Integrity and hope are the
sure palliatives of sorrow.
Let every man be fully per-
suaded in his own mind.
Peace anu honor are the
sheaves Of virtues harvest.
The experience of want en-.
hances the value Of plenty.
Many Things are plausible in
theory, which fail in practice.
The gayety of youth should be
tempered by the precepts of
age.
The guilty mind cannot avoid
many melancholy apprehen>
sions.
The most acceptable sacrafce,
is that of a contrite and humble
heart.
The wicked are often insrared
in the trap which they lay for
others.
There are more cultivators OF
the eartt, than Of their own
hearts.
If we are sincere, we may be
assured o. an advocate TO inter.
ceLe for us.
We should not encourage
persons to d, what they believe
to be wrong.
To mlntain opinions stihy, is
no evidence of their truth, or of
our moderation.
The mist which envelops many
stu lies, is dissipated when we
approach them.
A steady mind my receive
counsel; but there is no hold on
cbangeable huinor.
Our impsrfsction, are DISCERN.
able by others, when we think
they are concealed.
The smiles that encourage the
Severity OF ju lgemen1, hide NAL
ice and insincirity.
We are dependent on each
others assistance: who is 1t tha
can subsist by himself?
y Disrppointments sink the
heart of man. but the renewal Of
hope gives consolation.
There are many occasions in
life, in which silence and sim
plicity are true wisdom.
It cannot be said that we ar,
charitable donors. when GU
gifts proceed from selfish mo-
tives.
We owcit to our visitors q
we'll as ourselves, to entertain
them with useful and sensibl,

We should recollect, that how

CAMDEN, N. j., May 4.-Judge Garrison,
at the opening of the May term of the CAM
den County Courts, after referring to the
duties of the grand jurors said:
Matters will be presented to you which
are claimed to be open violations of the law.
refer to the places of public gambling and
the selling of liquor on Sunday, all of which
are a direct violation of the laws of the
State. 1t matters not whether the gambling
is done in the open air or in rooms You,
gentlemen can have no difficulty to discover
whether these places exist or not. The
question has arisen whether an individual
in this county has the right to persistently
violate the law and go unpunfshed and shall
Iawlessness 20 unpunshed? If that is the
case, then self-government is failure.
The Judge then instructed the jury not to
make final presentment until they had
secured from the prosecutor all of the nee
essary facts. The Judge, continuing, said
that those found guilty of gambling and
Sunday liquor selling would be made to
suffer penalty which would make them an
example. The charge is supposed to be di-
rected against the South Jersey Jockey
Club, of which w. j. Thompson is the
President. The grand jury went into ses-
sion at once and will hear the complaints
against Mr.. Thompson, who is charged with
maintaining a nuisance and disorderly
house.

PIG IRON RATES REDUCED.
The Coal Handlers Strike at Cleveland
Embarrassing the Railroads,

The Coal Handlers Strike at Cleveland
Embarrassing the Railroads.
At meeting OF the Pittsburg committee
of freight agents yesterday, the eastbound
rates on pig iron, billets, blooms, scrap iron
and wire rods were reduced. The New
York rate from Pittsburg was cut from
81 10 per gross ton, 2,240 pounds, to 81 40,
and the Philadelphia rate was fixed at 81
per ton. The reduction was made on a
basis of 20 cents per 100 pounds between
New York and Chicago, instead of Is cents.
The old rate to New York from this terri
tory was Is cents per 100 pounds; hereafter
it will be about u cents. All the articles
named belong to the sixth class and take
the same rate.
The local roads are beginning to feel the
effects of the coal handlers strike at Cleve-
land, which commenced on Monday. There
has been considerable delay in having cars
unloaded, and unless the trouble is soon
settled it will cut into the lake coal ship
ments. Cars are already becoming scarce,
and the coal men are afraid their output
sold won't be any larger this season than
last year.
They are particularly anxious to make a
good showing, since the freight rate was re-
duced 8 cents per ton. They have always
claimed that the differential in favor of the
Hooking Valley region injured the Pitts
burg coal business

OHIO POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Mckinley Win Not Permit His Name to
Be Used,

Mckinley Win Not Permit His Name to
Be Used.
"Governor Mckinley will not permit his
name to be used for nomination at the Ma
tional Convention, and Harrison's nomina-
tion will be received with the heartiest ex-
pressions of approval throughout the entire
State of Ohio"
So said the Hon. W. H. Upson, Justice
of the Circuit Court of Ohio, who passed
through on the limited last night, en- route
from his home in Akron to Washington,
where he will spend his fortnight's vacation
with his son-in-law, Captain G. j. Fiebeger,
of the United States Engineering Corps, and
daughter. Continuing, Judge Upson said
the people of Ohio were enthusiastic
for Harrison, and there was little
doubt among the people of the State but
that he would receive the nomination and
naturally the election. 'The people OF
Ohio were somewhat disappointed at Gov
ernor McKinley's expressing himself as en-
tirely out of the Presidential race, as he was
one.of the greatest political tavorltes the
State had ever known"
Judge Upson was member of Congress
from the Cleveland district and was in the
House while James G. Blaine was Speaker.
He was intimately acquainted with Mr.:
Blaine and since that time has continued
the acquaintance. In speaking of the pub
lie declination of Secretary Blaine, Judge
Upson said the Secretary's health was un-
doubtedly greatly impaired and that the
wear of a political campaign would greatly
injure him physically.

child last January while employed as a
domestic by Mrs Emma Vance, of Margar-
eta street, East End. A second count in

animation of the child, and said it had been

paper in the throat would, either one, have
caused death.
few other minor witnesses were ex-
amined, when the defense was made. Miss

AN APPLE JACK STILL
Causes the Arrest and Trial of John
II. Miller on a Charge of
MOONSHINING UP IN SOMERSET.
Pretty Country Girl Accused Of Murder
ing Child.
THE NEWS OF THE COUNTY COURTS

The now celebrated ''moonshine" case of
John H. Miller, the farmer-merchant of
Indian Hill, Fayette county, was begun IN
the United States District Court before
Judge Burlington yesterday. There are
three counts against Miller; one charging
him with being a distiller; one charging
him with having in his possession still,
and third charging him with neglecting to
notify the proper officials of his intention to
operate his plant. District Attorney Lyon
conducted the prosecution and closed his
side of the case, after which Mr. S. U.
Trent opened for the defense and court ed
iourned at 5:15, the latest it has been IN
session this week.
There seems to be a considerable amount
of fpersonal feeling drawn into the Miller
case 1t was noticed that the only witnesses
examined for tie Government outside OF
Acting Collector Henry J. Miller, were j.
H. Sparks, who is rival merchant in Mil
ler's locality, and has had numerous quar-
rels with him: John Sparks, brother, ana
Charles and William Sparks, two nephews.
All of them admitted they did not have
much use for Miller.
The bulk of the testimony was intended
to show that during the apple season las1
fall Miller had erected crude still and
made apple lack" which was sold at his
house for 80 cents a quart. The Sparks boys
assembled there at various times and
claimed to buy liquor by waiting on them
selves and depositing the price on mantel
piece.
Mr. Miller's defense, as set forth by Mr..
Trent in his opening, is that he had man
named David Plutcher in his employ on the
farm and in lieu OF some extra work done
he allowed Plutcher to make apple butter
and cider for his own family use,
and that while doing so Plutcher
erected a temporary still and expert
mented on some apple jack" and that
as soon as he learned what was going on,
he stopped the production. He disciatmed
any ownership in the apparatus and denied
that he had ever sold any or permitted any
to be sold in his house. He claims it is a
clear case of persecution growing out OF an
old grudge against Miller on the part of the
entire Sparks iamily.
The case will be continued this morning.

THE FAIR BEATRICE
Modjeska and Her Splendid Company in
Shakespeare's Charming Comedy.

Modjeska and Her Splendid Company in
Shakespeare's Charming Comedy.
''Much Ado About Nothing" is not very
often produced in Pittsburg for the reason,
perhaps, that it requires the best of actors
and actresses to bring out properly the ex-
quisite passages of comedy with which the
immortal bard has endowed it. 1t is we'll
known that Madame Modjeska is at her
best in the part of Beatrice, and
supported by her present strong company
leaves hardly anything to be desired in the
way of perfect theatrical production.
Mr.. Thalberg's Beaedick offers another op-
portunity for this clever actor to repeat his
former good work. John A. Lane made a
handsome and manly Don Pedro as did also
Beaumont Smith as Don Jot,L Benjamin
G. Rogers as Dogbcrry, Robert Peyton Car
ter as Leondto and Howard Kyle as Claudio,
all did very clever work, as did the balance
of the company. Camille" will be the
bill for tonight.
