visit her son, Charles Rhinehart On her
way she sat in seat with a richly dressed

suddenly sick and sent for DR.. Walker,
who found she was suffering from a very
light attack of varioloid. He treated Mrs.
Rhinehart, and she recovered. Last Sunday
her son Charles became i'll. The physician
has been treating him ever since, and the
disease has developed into smallpox. and to
make certain the doctor called in several
other physicians. 1t is supposed that the
patient contracted the disease from his
mother, who thinks she contracted it from
the woman on the train.
The house has been isolated and no one is
allowed to enter The Board of Health
will hold meeting and take every precau-
tion against the spreading of the disease.
The Council will meet to take action in
assisting the board in their work.

WARREN, PA, Sept. Special THE
ninth annual meeting of the Warren County
Fair opened to-day with an attendance that
was greatly diminished on account of the
wet weather. A drizzling rain kept falling
nearly all afternoon, which compelled the
postponement of the races. The number of
entries in all departments of the fair is un-
usually large and the exhibits surpass ip
number and quality those OF all previous
years.
A dispatch from Meadville says: The
fortieth annual fair of the Crawford County
Agricultural Society opened up at Con-
neautville to-day. The entries of horses,
cattle, sheep, swine, vegetables. art work,
ETC., are larger than on any previous year
in the history of the society.
A message from Uniontown says: This
was the opening day of the Fayette County
Agricultural Associations thirteenth an
nual fair. The attendance to-day was small
owing to the poor weather. The displays
in nearly all departments arc far above
those of former years.

Mrs. Miller Causes the Arrest of Two Men
the Street,
Last night about o'clock Officer Ketter
arrested two young men at Fifth avenue
and Smithfeld street, for chucking young
woman under the chin. One of the men
said the woman was his wife, but the woman
denied it. He took the three to Inspector
McKelvey's Office. The woman said her
name was Mrs Miller and her home in
Allegheny, where the two men, Jesse
Fleming and William Speis, were boarders.
She alleged that Fleming had written
note to her, asking her to meet him on
Fifth avenue, and that she intended to meet
him and have him arrested. She told several
very damaging stories of the young man,
who is but 10 years old and claims to be a
book agent. Fleming maintained that Mrs
Miller was Mrs Fleming. The men were
locked up.

474<&4<;a there no enternity for manSS 81
<3ain, otherwise, all these aspffa-
5f00s. How futile these hopes. Why is
born within us the desire for life? Why
do we love and why do we mourn? Must
man live the short space OF three-score-
aud-ten only to find a coffin and a grave?
To what end the eternity OF ocean? To
what purpose is the eternity OF the river?
Why, do we, when looking upon the un-
fathomable mysteries of nature have that
uusatisfied longing for their solution!
Why do We, when gazing upon the red of
Mars, the changing glitter of Vega, the
brilliant flash OF Orion's mighty retinue of
sparkling orbs, on Venus when she blazes
in her %grandest splendor, upon Jupiter
resplendent in his belts, or Saturn with
his mysterious rings, why do we when
gazing upon these, or wondering at the
extent of Arcturus' radii have that intense
longing to know more, to visit these gilt
tering worlds, bask in the warmth OF the
one, or repose under the shadow OF trees
and woodlands OF the other?
There is an eternity for the river, there
is an eternity for the ocean,. There IL
an eternity for every glittering star that
gems the sky. The majestic oak the tiniest
flower each has its enternity. So has
man-else is all creation void, and hope
aspiration, ambition, wish and prayer
bitter mockery.
Under this stone lies the mortal remainl
OF my boy, but where the immortal? Lool
there, there where the heavens are bright
est with the blaze OF stellar light, Their
where Gods great white throne is Lighted
by the glittering constellation OF star ant
sun and satellite; there where the pure II
heart are promised the .sight ofGod-ther
he stands. and Faith and Hope the promis'
give that there shall stand ail who ear
the blest reward.
