B. J. Yost had the tables suddenly turned
upon him the other day while trying to
crack joke at the expense of Councilman
Fiuney, who recently purchased the Shapiro
drug store in the post office building. Yost
entered the store and pretending to be dis
tressed by cough he asked, Where is
Finney-Dr. Finney ?" The doctor" was
behind the prescription counter with visit.
ing physician and recognizing Yost's voice
told the visitor to go into the store and carry
out the joke. The physician took hold of
Yost, sounded his chest, asked score or
more questions, went into the prescription
department, and in few minutes returned
to Yost with a bottle of cough mixture and a
polite request for 20 cents.
Yost thought the affair was becoming too
serious and in furried manner exclaimed,
81 dons want that, want to see Finney."
"The doctor is not in at present." said
the physician, "but assure you have done
all that he could do for you and this will
knock that cough into a cooked hat"
Yost tempted to explain but it was all TO
no purpose. He paid the seventy cents, but
said he would call again for the medicine.
Finney then appeared and gave him a
laughing bon jour. ODE.

1t is time the authorities took some steps to
teach the gypsies who are encamped near the
cemeteries that when in this town they must
behave themselves as the citizens are re-
quired. To-day one of the women of the
camp made a disgraceful scene staggering
through the streets with an intoxicated man
on each side of her. 1t is also stated that the
gypsies are establishing horse marts on Main
street and they leave their horses at hitching
posts for hours without any attention, The
gypsies mart belongs properly to their camp,
and not in the town.

The funeral of Frank Brown took place at
Delano to-day. The deceased was 81 years
of age and had been an engineer ON the
Lehigh Valley railroad for several years. He
ran the "nyer' between Pottsville and
Easton for some time and was member OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
One day last summer Brown was seized with
an epileptic fit Just as his train reached the
depot in town. He recovered, but shortly after
resuming his position as engineer he was
seized with like fit at the Hazleton depot.
Again he recovered, but his health steadily
declined. About two weeks ago he took his
bed and fell into coma. He remained
almost continually in that condition until
Wednesday night, when he died.

The unequalled success of Allcock's Porous
Plasters as an external remedy has induced
unscrupulous parties to offer limitations
which they endeavor to sell on the reputa.
tion of Allcock's. 1t is an absurdity to speak
of them in the same category as the genuine
porous plaster. Their pretentions are un.
founded, their vaunted merit unsupported by
facts, their alleged superiority to or equality
with Allcock's false pretense. The ablest
medical practitioners and chemists and
thousands of grateful patients unite in de-
claring Allcock's Porous Plas ers the best
external remedy ever produced. Beware OF
limitations, and do not be deceived by mis-
representation. Ask for Allcock's, and let no
solicitation or explanation induce you to ac-
cept a substitute.

Tony Farrell is natural actor, possessing
an attractive face and pleasing voice. He
makes of an Irish peasant a human being,
instead of gross oaricature, which is the
way most comedians essay similar roles.
He is without doubt one of the best Irish
dialecticians on the stage to-day, and "My
Colleen" is very strong Irish comedy

The following little storylet is told in the
interest of home industry. The other day a
lady of town purchased some millinery at
Pottsville. Upon returning and exhibiting
her purchases she was told by friends that
the same or better goods could have been
purchased here at less cost. The lady made
another trip to Pottsville and returned the
millinery, but instead of receiving her
money got due bill for anything else she
nigh wish to purchase at the place. This
only goes to show the embarrassment some
people bring upon themselves by entertaining
peculiar ideas about home merchants, when
you add car fare and other expenses Shen-
andoah is the cheapest place after ALL said a
lady yesterday.

OBRs OBSERVATIONS


what He Sees and Hears During Hi
Travels,
The Farr compulsory educational bill has
passed the Senate and now awaits the sigma
ture of the Governor. The bill met with
defeat at the last session of the Legislature
but with a few amendments and alterations
which disposed of the previous objections it
was brought up again in shape that satisfied
good majority of the law makers The
measure is one of the most important the
present Legislature has passed upon. 1t
means that the people of Pennsylvania shall
be an educated people, and certainly there
can be no objection to this. One of the
strongest objections to the bill among the
people was that it would be hardship to
compel the poorer classes to send their chill
dren to school when the parents were obliged
to purchase school books, but this objection
was efectually disposed of when the Legis-
lature passed the free text book bill by an
almost unanimous vote These laws,o course,
will not meet with universal popular senti-
ment at the start. Some people have peculiar
ideas and it is impossible to meet all ideas in
one or two measures, but after the
have time to show their fruits the whole
people will rejoice in them.

The other day 1 spoke of the deputy tax
collector of town finding a large sum of
money in the pockets of Hungarian who
protested he had no money with which to pay
his taxes. The case led physician to tell of
an experience. He treated a Hungarian and
presented bill for SIS. The man offered ten
dollars in payment and said that was all he
would or could give. The amount was
refused and the Hungarian borrowed dollar
from a neighbor and added it to the offer.
The physician held out for the full amount
and finally the debtor opened bureau draw
and took from wad of several hundred
dollars a sum sufficient to pay the bill in full.

Miss Mary Hall.

The earthly record of the life of this
bright and amiable Young woman, was
closed very suddenly on Friday night
last, Nov. l0-in China. Her home for
several years had been with her brother
in-law, w. Thompson, Principal of the
Academy. On the night named above,
there was to be an entertainment at the
school, and Miss Hall went to share in
the enjoyment of the hour. AS she was
passing up stairs to the hall, she faint
ed. She rallied for moment, asked if
she had tainted, then relapsed into I'M
consciousness and the end came soon
after her removal to her home. She was
the youngest daughter Of A. S. c. and
Susan s. Hall, and was beloved by a
wide circle of friends. Attractive in her
personal appearance. winning in man.
ner, of Joyous spirit and helpful life, she
will be sorely missed 10y those who knew
her. The funeral took place at The
home of her father in East Madison.
This had been her home in other years,
and many that remembered her pleasant
life were present rs sincere mourners.
Rev. &. V. Hanson conducted the SER
vice. The choir of the Union church
sang with deep fe ling words of COM
fort and hope. All her family we've
present, and also Mr.. Burton Gildings,

The burial took place in Athens. The
friends so greatly bereaved have the
sympathy of all who knew their loved
one.

Rev. Edwin b. Stiles, for five years Il
missionary in India for the Free BaptistS
met good sized audience of Pittsiirld
people and students from the Institute,
at the Free Baptist church, Monday
evening. Mr.. Stiles is vivid speaker in
describing this land so strange to those
of this hemisphere, and knows how to
select what is most telling. He dressed
in Indian costume ard enlightened his
hearers rs to the habits Of those people
and their sad religious state. His few in
disputablc facts showed that Brahman-
ism was not honestly represented at the
Parliament of Religions at Chicago.
Their religion leaves them detected,
hopeless. They need Christ the living
hope.
\ very pleasant and telling union tenn
prrance meeting was held at the 'nivcr-
salist church Sunday evening, the child
rem of the Laual Temperance League
furnishing the entertainment, under the
guidance of members of the W. {. 4. L.
They sang and spoke pieces that dealt
the liquor and tobacco habit tremendous
blows. Children tell the plain truth,
they say. They did that evening and n
drinkcr or smoker, if present, much have
felt very mean. A generation of brave
temperance workers is growing up.
