BY THE WAY.
A MOUNTAIN VIEW.

Their dull eyes dropped The teamster,
whistliug low,
| Feels the cool breeze that sings In minor key,
And stirs the pines that darlSy, gravoly rise,
And moss Hecked silvern birches-bares his
| head,
And in his brief rest turns his searching eyes
Where, far below, the grassy pastures spread.
And whoatfields-ii distant checks Of green
| And yellow, where creek CLEANS here and
there,
And homesteads dot the valley everywhere,
With dusty roads wound crookedly between,
And oircling peaks stand high and hazy blue,
AS though the throbbing life Of man were
not.
The brawny toamster scans the bomdless
And smiles and rests his eyes on one mock
spot.
A far, faint glimpse, but his warm love makes
plain
The little weather beaten house, the shed,
The row Of beehives, faded blue and red,
| The garden, thriving from the mornings rain (;
| The pinks that edge the tanbark walk, and
pour
Their sweetness out; the white phlox freshly
blown;
Tho little child that toddles round the door
| This do his fond eyes see, and this alone.

Miss Blanche Brenneman, the rising
young elooutionist in whom Cantonians
all feel great interest, in her steady
strides toward advancement, has returned
from winning econ iums almost sufficient
to set her pretty little head spinning
She was the bright particular star in
the g. A. X. entertainment at Waynes-
borough Pa. The vast a dience was de-
| lighted with her superb rendition and on
the day following the local paper We'd in
q good natured and laudable rivalry to
outdo each other in praise Jf the charm
| Ing little lady. One of them says of her {:
q In the delineation of character, in the
conception and Interpretation of a sub.
ject, In grace of gesture and movement,
in the control or the emotions, those hid
den fOunts Of an audience, this little lady
of the West, who was the central figure Of
| the entertainment Monday night, is the
peer IL not the superior Of any, male or
female, who ever trod the boards of the
Academy of Music"
This is all merited. So perfectly has
Miss Brenneman Joined art and udy to
great natural qualifications, and ability,
that the art in concealed and nature only
appears. This is the perfection of art
Wit, humor, pathos, and tragedy fall
from her lips, flash from her eye and
steal from her graceful movements until
unconsciously, the audience weeps or
smiles, as she Wills.

The response in O financial way to
Hospital Day in the churches last Sun
day, was gratifying to the projectors, al
though the sum total of contributions is
but drop in the bucket of expenditures.
The people can hardly be criticised for
not responding as literally as the mana
gers desired. 1t is an old story, the cry
| for funds although necessary one.
That is one of the many reasons why the
removal Of the guardianship over Mrs.
Kate B. Aultman will prove public
benefit. Mrs. Aultman is determined to
endow Aultman hospital, leaving fit
local monument to the philanthropic i'm
pulse and deeds of her late lamented hus-
band.

The streets, several days the past week,
were dry and dusty, and the wind which
at times prevailed made life miserable
for pedestrians. The dust was taken up
in great clouds and sent flying through
the streets with q force and in such
abundance that small particles cut with
a singing sensation, to say nothing OF
the other persc nal discomforts. A street
sweeper or sprinkling cart W. uldn't go
wrong even If it is winter time Dust is
dust, and Is just as unhealthy and un-
Cleanly in dry winter as in dry summer.

Alliances new daily paper, the "Post, "
has for It's editor, Mr.. Phelps, formerly
of the Review" 1t is fair to presume
that the Post is in opposition to the Re.
view For many years Mr.. Phelps worked
hard and faithfully for the Review, and
gave it good substantial standing. Now
that he is at the head of an opposition
paper, he does not know exactly what to
say Of the Review, so he has decided tc
call 1t his "dear contemporary The
Post does not get up as neatly as II
m ght. The headlines are too clumsy
and black.
To a man up tree it looks as II ALI
ance had more than enough papers, con
sidering its population. The support of 6
newspaper comes from the merchants
and II they have to support thres Papers
instead of two, they will find their ad
vertising bills increased without reaching
any more people. Mr. Phelps is a clever
gentleman and good newspaper man
would have been more profitable to him
A newspaper is queer institution; the
, people do not take 1t because this man OF
that man owns 1t OF edits it; the people
care very little who write for the paper
or how the news Is obtained. All they
are interested in is the finished produc
and they look upon this for what 1t II
worth. Mr.. Phelps cannot hope to rur
the Review into the ground. An OLE
established paper that half maintains III
news columns can never be harmed b,
new comers, no matter what their wortl
or the money back of them. This ha
been tried time and again, and the result
is the same-the old paper holds the fort
