dren. It is sadly appropriate that
the Heir Apparent should devote his
first public utterance to the consider
alton Of what is the blacklist blot on
current British history. His words
were commonplace and formal, but
they indicated a sympathetic spirit,
and his debut as public speaker was
not discreditable. He did not draw
aside the veil from the spectacle in the
society recent record which, had he
described it, would have made Eng
land and the world turn horror strick-'
en- from the sight. He did not tell
of the long series of cases this winter
of the murder of children by starva-
ton IN order to obtain insurance
money. He did not know, probably,
of the little one now at the society's
home whose mother tried to kill it
by thirst. The story is "a horrible
one. Drink was kept from the child
for almost six weeks, and every morn
ing as soon as the fire was lit it was
placed before the CRATE till it was lit
orally dried up. Life was almost
gone when the society rescued it.
Nothing was said, either, about the
farmer who was deliberately killing
young son with patent medicine.
The Child was q skeleton when res
cued, with only great pathetic eyes
to show that life still fingered.
If he had visited the society's home
the young Duke might have told also
of the little girl who was employed
by her father from daydawn till into
night IN chopping wood. She worked
and he drank away her earnings.
Ths child was too weak or too cold
recently to chop as fast as the brute
considered it her duty to do. He
flung log Of wood at her head. The
little one staggered and fell, but said
nothing, took up the chopper, and
worked away. But one day it was
discovered that all that heap of wood
where she worked was spattered over
with blood, the blood of the child,
who still was at her task with great
cash in her head. The father is IN
prison, and the little one builds card
castles in the CHEEKY room Of the So
ciety's shelter. No other such COM
pany of children can be found any
where Mr.. Gerrv's waits in New
York have most Of them had happy
lives in comparison. Every one is a
desperate case, for the society is un
able to deal with nilder cruelties. Il
is a grave company. There is no
laughter and childish prattle. They
are children only in years. Their
smiles are sadder than an ordinary
child's tears.
Of all these things the Duke Of
York said nothing, He was pleased
TO express royal approval Of the In
stitution under whose auspices the
company was assembled, and that
was all that was expected of him. Il
he had gone on to denounce the muir
der and torture of helpless innocents
as the greatest shame upon the Eng
lish race, and to condemn the Eng
fish magistrates whose inadequate
punishments permit the infany to go
almost unchecked, the country would
have been stupefed with amazement.
A great reform would have been &C
complished, but society would scarce
ly have been able to bear the shook
of an expression OF independent opin-
ion from a member OF the royal
family.

From Macedonia,

X. J. Pachejeiif, Bulgarian from
Macedonia, Turkey, who is now "A stu
dent at the Allegheny College in Mead
vile, lectured in the NJ. +. Church last
Friday evening TO a small crowd. He
cannot handle the English language
very tluently. He talked for one hour
and half about the customs of Bull
garia. The lecturer commenced by say
ing his hearers should thank the Lord
that they live in the best country in the
world. The farmers of that country use
the implements of thousand years
ago. Among the crops raised there is
tobacco, but they call it american
weed" because they got it from Amer
lea. He told some thrilling incidents
which he witnessed when Bulgarians
were ruled over as slaves by the Turks.
Pachejeiff will hardly become famous as
lecturer, but he tells an interesting
story of the hardships the people of his
country had TO contend with. They
are not slaves to the Turks now, but are
free from their murderous assaults and
open handed robbery, and freedom was
granted them indirectly through the
missionaries who visited their land.
Pachejeiff is preparing himself to re-
turn to Macedonia to preach the gospel.
He remained here over Sunday and
talked in the Baptist church on missions
in the the morning and in the evening
occupied the Presbyterian pulpit.

What Will II Be /?

The article in the STAR two weeks
ago about the electric railway, and the
article last week in regard to board of
trade at Reynoldsville, has had a ten
dency to make the business men of this
place carefully consider the prospect of
the towns future prosperity. Quite II
number are in favor of board of trade.
while Others think ii will pay to organ
ize company here with IA capital stock
of $4,000 and start several industries.
Now the important question arises, will
either one be done, or will it all end i'm
talk? There is one thing certain, talk
will not accomplish the end. Both pa
pers may "blow" until they get tired,
but that will not bring about the de-
lightful hum of industry which we hope
to hear in Reynoldsville before many
years. Some years ago four or five bus
mess men of this place thought this
would be a good location for tannery
They went down in their pockets and
pulled out "V" apiece and inserted an
advertisement in Shoe and Leather Re
porter of Boston, Mass, and in a few
weeks men were here to look over the
advantages for tannery plant at this
place. Most all the citizens of Reyn-
oldsville know that the men were not
long in deciding to come here, and now
the tannery has about one hundred en-
ployees. This does not only show that
activity is great lever in moving along
the best interests of town, but it also
shows what a great blessing printers
ink is to the business interests of our
country, and yet some people say it does
not pay to advertise. What shall it be
first, board of trade or a stock COM
pany?

An Upset.

Last Saturday the Hotel Belnap bus
team lelt the A. V. Ry station, after
the arrival of the one o'clock train, on
their usual brisk trot, but they stopped
suddenly near the Italians shoe shop in
West Reynoldsville. If any person
disputes the suddenness of the stop, we
are willing to be qualified to it, and can
get John S. Warwick, Sam1 Whitaker
and August Anderson as witnesses to
the same. We were all sin it" when the
bus stopped. The buckle of the line on
the off-side horse got fastened in the
ring of the harness and the driver
Norman Doughit, did not discover IL
until the team started and then it was
too late. The horses did not run off but
trotted so close to the ditch that the
bus slid into it and upset just as
the front wheel struck little bridge,
and that was the whyfore of the sudden
ness of the stop. The driver remained
at his post until thrown from his seat
and then he clung to the lines, but the
horses did not attempt to runaway and
II they had they would have gone it
alone, because the harness was broken
to pieces. The occupants of the bus
bounded around like gum ball for a
second and ye editors head struck the
roof of the bus with such force that we

Of our life unless John Wanamaker,
ex-Postmaster General. sends us the
recipe Christopher Columbus used to
make his whiskers grow with Jonah's
gourd-like rapidity, as shown by COM
pairing the one and two cent Columbia

all were frightened except the editor of

and IL is almost miracle that some
one was not seriously injured.

Tramps Perfumery.

Three different mornings last week,
at about nine o'clock, the STAR Office
was visited by three different tourists
who dine at back doors and lodge at
Hotel de Tanneries or Hotel dc Coke
Ovens and wash their faces when caught
in rain storm. They call at printing
offices and beg old exchanges to while
away the time between meals. The
perfumery which they use, and they all
have their clothing well saturated with
it, is made from peculiar dandy-li-on
familiarly known in this country as a
conglomeration of smoke and various
kinds of filth. This article has never
been named yet and we think "The
Tramps' obnoxious odor" would be an ap-
propriate name for it. The smell is not
pleasing to all nostrils, in fact you must
join the tramp brigade before you can
appreciate the superfne quality which
they use.

Out of Their Line,

We suggested last week that the
Town Council appoint a Board of Health
at their session this week. We have
since learned that the council did ap-
point board of Health some time ago,
but it is inactive for the simple reason
that our Borough Dads" have not the
power to appoint such board, and at
present Boards of Health have no legal
existence outside of large cities. A bill
is now before the House, the object Of
which is to enable Borough Councils to
establish Boards of Health, and it has
been favorably reported by the Commit
tee on Public Health and Sanitation" I"
This is a measure OF vast Importance
and should be passed by all means, and
especially is it inestimable in view OF
the probable advent of Asiatic Cholera
when spring opens. Reynoldsville will
have an active Board of Health as soon
as Council has power to appoint one.

well as his boarding house. His mind
