NEWSY NOTES.
z, Teacher.

Prof. Louis Pasteur, the eminent
scientist and physician of France, died
on Saturday last.
On Tuesday of last week the famous
engine No. 900, on the N. Y. Central road,
made run of l4S miles in 1872 minutes
between Albany and Syracuse, pulling
three coaches.
In dealing with the five hoboes con-
victed at Erie of murderous assault and
robbery, few days ago, Judge Criswell
gave four of them s years each in the
pen., and the fifth got seven years. He
explained that he made this distinction
because the odd one had no revolver on
his person when arrested.
The law in regard to keeping telephone
messages secret went into effect Sept. l.
Telephone and telegraph operators are
subject to a fine of 81, 900 or six months
in Jail for divulging the business of their
lines and persons who wrongfully OBJ
tain possession of private matters from
this source are subjected to a similar
penalty.
Missouri stands highest in corn condi-
ton, the Agricultural Departments
figures for that state being Ill. Illinois
are 81, Iowa's SO, Kansas SO, and Me-
braska's So. The average for the whole
country is 96.4, as compared with 63.4 a
year ago. The yield now is estimated at
about 2,3O0, 900 bushels, which is
about 100, ,OO0, 900 above the largest pre-
vious crop.
A penurious, grasping business mans
name is seldom seen in his home news
papers, says an exchange. He never ad-
vertises, jogs along in the old ruts, waits
| till tho season is over before buying
goods, and then asks two prices for what
he sells. People admire live business
men, they freely patronize them because
they are always up-to-date, liberal ad'
vertisers; they are open-hearted, sell
cheaper and have big place in the hearts
of all. Isn't it true?
DIR. Forbes Winslow, the distinguished
English physician, denounces the riding
of bicycles by women and says the prac-
tice is immoral and injurious in its effect
1t is not a matter to be wondered at tha
this dogmatic assertion has stirred up in
dignation among the fair devotees of tho
wheel. A host of good womer
ride bicycles. The cool assumption tina
they are engaged in an injurious and i'm
moral exercise is ground for indignan
protest and sentment.-Franklin News
The charter which has been granted tc
the Oil City Station Railroad Company
John B. Smithman, president,) contem
plates the building of an electric line be
tween Oil City and Franklin via DeeI
Hollow route. The present understand
ing is that this enterprise will be me
about half way on the route by a lin
from this city, constructed by Franklin
parties interested in electric railroad mat
tiers. A we'll equipped line between tn
two cities would be a popular and wei
patronized improvement. - Franklin

A Newark lawyer has hit upon move
and effective method of dealing with
hlackmailer. 4 fine-looking and some
what notorious woman called at his OF
fee and demanded $500 On his positiv
refusal to give her a cent the woma
