AN AWFUL TRAGEDY. - Thousands of
lives have been sacrificed, thousands Of
homes made desolate by the fatal mistake
of the "old-school" physicians, still per-
sisted in by some, Notwithstanding the light
thrown upon the subject by modern re-
search, that consumption is incurable. 1t
is not Consumption is scrofulous disease
of the lungs, and any remedy which strikes
right at the seat of the complaint must and
lCW cure it. Such remedy is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. IL is a certain
specific for all scrofulous complaints. 1t
was never known to fail if given fair trial,
and that is why the manufacturers sell it
under poSitire guarantee that if it does not
benefit or cure, the money paid for it will
be refunded. The only lung remedy pos
sessed of such remarkable curative proper
ties as to warrant its makers in selling it
on trial.

A convention Of Pittsburg miners was
held In the Knight OF Labor Hall yes
terday TO consider mining legislation.
The bill drafted by the Commission ap-
pointed by Governor Pattison was care
fully read and compared with the meas
ure drafted by the Mining Institute of
Pennsylvania, which differs materially
in some essential points affecting the
miners interests. The bill drafted by
the Commission makes the operators
responsible for the negligence of their
superintendents and mine bosses. This
clause is entirely omitted in the meas
ure drafted by the Mining Institute.
The Commission unanimously adopted
the bill which was before the Legisla-
ture and will have a committee in Har-
risburg to oppose changes such as pro-
posed by the Mining Institute.-Times.

Finally Settled,
tBrookvllle Democrat.l

We learn that the supreme court has
affirmed the action of our county court
in the case of the Borough of Brookville
against the estate of II. Arthurs, de-
ceased, growing out OF an injury re-
ceived by Mrs. H. H. Brocius while
walking over the sidewalk on the Pick
ering street front OF the Central Hotel
property, owned by Mr.. Arthurs. Mr..
and Mrs. Brocius brought an action
against the borough for damages for
the injury received, and were awarded
FIVE thousand dollars. The borough
then instituted suit against Arthurs,
and now the supreme court decides he
was liable because OF not having the
pavement in front of his property in
proper conditions; and directs payment
to be made to reimburse the borough
The amount of the Judgment against
Mr.. Arthur's estate is about $7,100.
This is an important decision to our
citizens, and shows the necessity of
every property holder maintaining a
suitable and safe pavement in front of
his property.

He Found One Man.

Captain John Miller tells good story
about himself in connection with his trip
to the Chicago convention. While en-
route he thought he would feel the pub
lie pulse along the road, so at the vari-
GUS stopping places he got out on the
rear platform and made short speeches
in favor Of Senator Hill. The name of
Hill did not arouse the slightest enthu.
siasm, greatly to the surprise of Captain
Miller, who before leaving Washington
had an idea that the Democrats of the
country were hungry for Hills nomina-
ton. Not hand was clapped in re-
sponse to Captain Miller's eloquence un-
til the train reached little town out in
Ohio. There one man in the crowd ap-
plauded the name Of Hill quite vigor-
ously. Captain Miller paused in his
speech, jumped off the train and rushed
up to the man, saying:
my dear friend, am glad to know
that there is one man out in this God
forsaken country who appreciates the
name of Hill"
81 don't belong here, replied the man.
II came out on the train with you, Cap
tain Jack"
That put an end to Ca"tain Miller's
electioneering for Senator Hill.-Wash-
ington Post.

A Serpent of the Sea.

Chancellor Rand, Of McMaster univer-
sity, received by express box which,
when opened, was found to contain q
snake some nine feet long, of slender
build and Of dull mud color. An ac-
companying letter explained the arrival
Last May, while on the way from the
Philippine islands, the Theodore H.
Rand, ship named after the chancellor,
was caught in heavy gale off the Afri-
can coast Everything was battened
down, and yet, after some hours, during
which the seas ran bodily over the YES
sci, the helmsman felt something like a
rope around his leg, and looking down
was Mortified to find this snake.
The ship at the time was more than q
hundred miles off the shore, was closely
battened and had not been in port for
some weeks. Many theories have been
raised to account for the reptiles pres
ence, some thinking 1t had been washed
aboard during the storm; others that 1t
had lain dormant since the ship left port
and others suggesting that . genuine
~ serpent had ct l&st been found. The

1.-THE point Of greatest influence in
any sphere OF life is the center OF that
sphere. Whatever Of influence is at
work in the area of circle, emanates
from its center. The center of small
circle is as large as the center of a
large circle, and, as the circumference
enlarges the center remains the same.
Let him who aspires to have influence
in a widely extended circle remember
this truth, and bear in mind that he is
now at the center Of the sphere, and
that his greatest work must ever be
done there. His influence may, indeed,
be less now than II is to be in the future;
but 1t will never emanate from any
other point than his present center Of
life and being. All portions OF the
lesser or the vaster sweep of any circles
circumference are equidistant from the
one center; and he who lives and labors
80 as to be felt at the center, is doing
most for the extension OF his influence
to the uttermost possible circumfer-
ence."

Electric Roads aud snowfniIs.

When many Of our electric railway
managers were boys 1t was just about
this time of year that they got down
from the attic or up from the cellar OF
out from the woodshed their old double
runners" and polished and oiled them
mp in anticipation of many coasts down
the icy hillside roads They are doing
pretty much the same thing now, except
that the "double runners" have developed
into electric railway snow plows, whose
function is to spoil coasting rather than
to facilitate 1t. These machines are OF
very recent origin, and are still in many
ways experimental devices.
Plows and sweepers have both been
used to displace the snow from electric
railroad tracks. II has been thought by
some companies that the sweeper does
It's work too thoroughly, as It cleans of
all the snow. leaving only the bare
ground for the use of other vehicles on
runners. This causes delays to the elec.
tric cars and interferes with their prompt
operation. Crosby and Bell state in their
book on the electric railway that ''iti Is
best to leave an inch or two Of snow on
the track when cleared by plows. Un.
less the snow is very much compacted,
or has become sort of frozen slush, Il is
then possible to obtain fair contact be.
tween wheel and rail. thus keeping up
the car service"
The proper function of the snow plow
is its constant use in keeping the snow
on the tracks from packing and freezing.
Its principal use is in the city streets.
Where the road runs out into the coun-
try, or where the SHOWS are light, the
sweeper service will probably prove
equally desirable. On many roads a
combined plow and sweeper service will
be found best of all.-Electrical Review.

time he was ready to go Mr.. Jury had
left the stable, but he had left word
with the driver of the Curwensville

lect quarter of dollar of the man
when he came for the horse. The old
man asked for the money when the
party put in appearance and payment
was refused. The stable man told the
transient that he could not have his
horse until the money was paid, and a
quarrel ensued, the stranger picked up
a hatchet and brandishing it said he
would have his horse without paying
anything. The keeper drew q revolver
out Of his pocket and said the horse
would not leave the stable until the
money was paid. And the money was
paid.
