The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1893-11-15

This is an age in which suggestion
and criticism are almost universal
Things which are and things which
ought to be are discussed, and fault is
found with almost every work and every
worker. The demads of the age and its
emergencies upon every one who is
actively interested in public matters
are more than enough for his full atten-
tion and utmost energy. A great part
OF his labor must necessarily be that Of
arranging and methodizing his duties
Then, whatever he does will be criti-
ciscd, and what he does not do will be
the cause Of complaint. But these facts
make this an age of opportunity for
heroism. The opportunities for noble
and heroic efforts are many and sub
lime. And he who studies well his
opportunities, and labors according to
his best abilities, is engaged in the ac-
tivities of an important era. Out of the
present turmoil, honest thought, true
fidelity and earnest effort will bring
forth future of sublime accomplish
ments.

large, but it is considered among tbe
BEST IN existence, embracing as it does
hne specimens of Amati. Cremona,

Ill and others. The San Francisco Elk
amlner says: Remenyi carries more in
surance on his violins and expresses
more sollcitude about them than most
people do on and about their lives.
His collection consists of 81 instru-

HOT WEATHER HINTS.
Some Sense and Likewise Some Non
sense.

An exchange gives the following hot
weather hints, evidently prepared with
some care by gentleman of large ex-
perienee:
Never take a fve-cent drink when
your friend offers to treat at the soda
fountain.
Never allow to live the man who tells
you that ice-cold lager is very heating
Never eat cucumbers without season
ing them with salt, pepper and vinegar.
Never Tie on your back unless you
are tired of lying Oh your side.
Never expect something for nothing
except in the newspapers.
Never exert yourself to throw a
banana peel in the street.
Never buy a colored shirt to match
your complexion.
Never run to catch a car unless you
are in a hurry.
Never drink hot tea or coffee, unless
you want it.
Never drink anything but lots of ice
water.

JUSTICF IN GERMANY.
The Editors are Feeling the Mailed

Justice IN Germany has of late been
illustrated in divers ways. A Hamburg
editor is fined $50 for censuring the
conduct of an officer in garrison town
in Silessa, who had thought it funny
j to accentuate the difference between
the military and the non-military ele-
rnents by estentatiously naming his
dog 'sCiviIist'' (that is, civilan). A

BAD MEMORIES.
A Clergyman Who Forgot the Name
Of the President

A memory is a good thing to cultivate,
INST people haev passably good n2eaaa-
cries, many have extraordinary ones,
and some have none at all. One of
the causes OF the popularity of the late
James q. Blaine was his remarkable
said that Mr.. Blaine could recall the
face and name of persons he had met
only casually 10 years and more after
the first meeting, mot having eEcount-
cred them in the Interval, says Har-
per's Young People.
| In regard to bad memories an anus
ing incident happened at the White
house not many weeks ago, if the re-
ports are truthful. A clergyman was

reverend gentleman blushed slightly
! and, leaning forward, whispered to
| the president: "Ah-what name
please"'
1t was, doubtless, nervousness at
tendant upon personal contact with &
! man holding so high an official position
as Mr.. Cleyelands that drove the name
out of the unhappy clergyman's mind
At any rate, it was not so bad a lapse
as another case that is recorded. What
it was that caused the loss Of memory
| in the hero of the following anecdote
, it is hard to state. Certainly Fritz
must have had queer head if the
, German story-teller has not eXaggerat-

probably very dull young man named
Fritz had been ordered by his master
to take four horses and a lurry-which
is a sort of car much used by coal
miners and others who have need OF
vehicles for the conveyance of very
| heavy articles-and fetch a steam-boiler
from a neighboring town. Just as he
was about to start his masters wife
called him in and said: Fritz, here's
3 pence I want you to bring me a
packet Of pins, and please don't forget
| it,
NO, ma'am," said Fritz, and off he
started.
Some hours later Fritz came back,
drove up to the house. embarrassed
the horses, stepped into the house and
delivered the small parcel Of pins to
the lady.

was standing at the window, what

NEW YORK'S LOSSES.
A States Great Sacrifices to Patriot
ism.

Thomas A. Janvier In Harper's Mag
azine: New York suffered greater hard
ships during the fight for independence
than fell to the lot of any other Amerl-
can city. 1t lost more than half it's
populations; it lost the whole Of its com
merce; the great fire of 1716, followed
by the fire Of 1878, laid full fourth
of it in ashes; it was occupied by the
enemy uninterruptedly from almost
the beginning of hostilitieS until after
peace was declared.
Until the actual outbreak of hos
tilities, the prosperous expansion OF
trade and the growth of the city con-
tinued without interruption; and then,
as suddenly as the coming Of tropical
night-with the arrival of the British
army of occupation, September 10, 117f
"a blight settled over everything and
was not lifted for more than seven
years Only four days after Gen.
Howe's entry came the calamity Of
the great fire, which swept over the
region between Whitehall and Broad
streets as far north as Beaver; thence,
sparing the western side Of the Bowling
green, over both sides of Broadway to
and including Trinity church; and
thence, sparing the western side of
Broadway but burning down to the riv-
er. to and including the southern side
of Vesey street-leaving behind it a
broad furrow of desolatiOn three-quar-
ters of a mile long. Two years later,
another fire reduced to wreck almost
the whole of the block south OF Pearl
street between Coenties and Old slips.
! Through all the dreary time of the
English occupation these many blocks
of ruins remained as the fire had left
them. No reason existed for rebuild
ing; and, no matter how strong rea-
son there might have been, no money
for rebuilding was obtaiaable. The
visible material wreck fttingly repre-
sented the wreck which had oVertaken
the city's most vital interests. Trade
with the interior and coastwise prac-
tically was cut off; and, with the de-
struction of these it's natural feeders,
the foreign commerce of the port was
dead :.

to the vanishing point; the machinery

consoling glory Of having suffered in
honorable battle, the city was left
wreck by war.

BUENOs AYREs. Dec. 2S.-It is an
nounced here, on advices from Rio de
Janeiro, that yellow fever has broken
out at that capital and Ave deaths from
the disease are already reported.
Much sympathy Is expressed here for
the plague and war stricken Inhabitants.
The Brazilian Government Is taking
every precaution possible to prevent a
spread OF the plague. but the woe is
greatly hampered by the condition to
which the city has been reduced by the
war. Many OF the poorer parts of Rio de
Janeiro are said to be In a terrible
condition Of filth and neglect. and the
poor food which the inhabitants have
been compelled to partake OF, owing to
the scarcity OF provisions and the high
prices, resulting from the rebellion. has
provided the yellow fever with a terri
BILE opportunity to spread In such local
tiles.
IT Is added that the fever which has
broken out Is not of the mild form
which Is more or less familiar to the
| wilmer of the South American ports,
but Is the worst form OF el vomito, or
bla elk vomit.
