To Road Supervisors.

To all overseers of roads in the south
ern road district from the Princeton
road around to the Russellville road
am still your road supervisor for
said district, and nv oath and bond
are still in force, and | expect to fill
my contract with the county the pres
ent year though the heavens fall.
[ looked over some work that was
done last year and | made some al
lowance likely that / ought not to
have made with some of the overseers,
as the plan of work was new and we
got at it late and it was very dry all
the year The fiscal court during it's
last session passed an order compell-
ing each and every overseer in Chris
tian county to have his section of road
we'll worked by the first of June and
if not the order then made il compul-
sorry upon your supervisor to report
you to the June grand jury and as
sist in your prosecution. TO all
overseers in my district / would say
get out your hands and give your
section good dressing up. Simply
going over the road in the old
way will not satisfy the law, neither
will it satisfy your supervisor. Drain
your road bed well, many a good
road bed has been let go to ruin by
not being properly drained.
Throw all dirt when moved to the
center of the road bed and spread
we'll and evenly. Don't leave any in
hills or piles, as some overseers did
last year. If you do you may expect
10 do your work over again. When
you order teams and plows on the
road always use the words "good
plows dsteams, pand should / find
any iotherskind on the road they will
be ordered off and the parties will
not get any pay for them All teams
and implements to be used on the
roads must be first class, The'fcourt
has ordered that but one pillow and
scraper be used ON any one section Of
road in the county, unless otherwise
ordered by the road supervisor
Should more be necessary on any one
section OF the road ! then apply. to
your road supervisor for same. All
overseers will see that no encroach-
ments are made upon road beds, and
will permit no obstruction to accumu-
late or be put on road bed, if SO will

jury. / am on the road and will be
along in the near future to see after
your work. Be sure and have your
road in good shape by the first day
of June, for after this date no excuse
will be taken. No chance to dodge
this time. The roads must be put in
good condition by the first day Of
June 1895. / appeal to you to attend

The FIRST suez CANAL.
1t Was Begun Centuries Before tho Chris
tian Era.


tian Era.
According to Herodotus, Pharaoh
Necho, four hundred and fifty years be-
fore the Christian era, commenced the
construction of canal branching out
from the Nile and traversing the desert
to the head of the gulf of Suez When
about half completed, and after the ex-
penditure of an incredible amount of
labor, says Longman's Magazine, the
work wasabandoned, owing to an oracle
which the king had consulted warning
him that If the enterprise was COM
pleted, it would be for the benefit of
his enemies, the barbarians, and prob
ably entangle the nation in foreign COM
plications. IN 4E
The work was subsequently, COM
pleted by Ptolemy III. and afterward
restored by Trajan. The grand canal
was stated as being far superior to any
other canal in the known world. Its
breadth was such that two galleys
abreast could be navigated on it, and by
1t the riches and merchandise of the
east were conveyed from the Red sea to
the Nile, and thenceYto the Mediterra-
mean. Strong opposition was raised
during the construction, on the ground
that the land through which 1t passed
being below the level Of the Red sea,
the canal would be the means of food
ing 1t. To overcome this difficulty a
dam, or sluice, was placed across it,
with doors which opened to give
passage to the vessels, and then were
closed again. After the lapse of several
centuries this canal was allowed to go
TO ruin, but traces of it still remain.

but there were those who said woman
at that time swayed him and took him
to Paris. This story was at one time SO
well believed in England that neither
the queen nor any of the royal family
would patronize him after he became
famous, Soon after his arrival in Paris
he became connected with the firm of
Gagelin g. Co. When the Franco-Ger-
man war broke out Worth had hard
work to keep his head above water.
The firm with which he was failed, but
the same protectress who had looked
after him before helped him now, and
he weathered the storm. The same
war which nearly ruined him was the
cause, too, of his ultimate success. The
French people followed the depriva-
tions of the siege of Paris by
the widest extravagances, and Worth,
who had founded the firm of Worth
& Boberg, shared in the general
boom. The fame of the "man-milliner"
spread, and it was not long before he
was the autocrat of society. During
the rest of his life Worths position was
never attacked. Royalty, society and
the stage were at his feet and he plum
dered them royalty. He considered
$4,000 quite small price for gown,
even at the beginning of his career,
and the people who patronized him paid
it gladly. Worth's peculiarities rem
dered him singularly distasteful to most
men with whom he was thrown in con-
tact, but he was great favorite with
his customers. For those who were his
special favorities he would spend days
over dress. Sitting, gorgeously attired,
with his head on his hand, he would
have the customer pose for him and, like
| a musician conducting his own opera,
would rise and with great gestures ex-
plain his conceptions He never de-
signed dresses. He dreamed" them.
Perfumes he abominated. He would
permit none of his employees to use
them and would almost go into hyster-
les if one of his customers had perfume
about her. The queen of England
would never tolerate him and would
not permit his name to be mentioned in
her presence. The prohibition extended
to his work and if Worth costume got
into her majesty's drawing-room it was
not paraded as such.

WARRINGTON RESIDENCE OF L. 2. LETTER.
surrounded by evergreens and shrub
berry and is attractive from its unique
architecture of the old colonial style.
The structure is built of white brick,
with white stone trimmings and an in
ferior finish In hard wood, the whole
being from plans drawn by T. P. Chand-
Ter, of Philadelphia. On the main floor
of the residence is the library, recep-
tion-room, MUSHROOM, spacious dim
ing-room and a tea-room. The erection
of the residence commenced in 1891; it
was finished in 1898, and Immediately
occupied by the Letter family. Joseph
Letter was seen by Chicago Herald re-
porter, but would not state the cost of
the structure. However, it is con-
sidered one Of the most costly in Wash
ington. Itsis conceded TO be one of the
most deliberately furnished of any of
the many fine homes IN that city.

Red Paint Their Armor.

Red paint saved the white settlers in
German New Guinea during sharp
contest that occurred recently in that
part of the Bismarck archipelago, says
the San Francisco Examiner
Arno Senfft, who for three years has
been in German New Guinea, tells the
story Of the war. He arrived here
Thursday and is spending few days
in San Francisco. iG
Mr.. Senfft has held all kinds OF Offices
| and several at the same time in that
primitive land, and diversified the civil
occupations by leading soldiers against
the hostile cannibals. He says the way
began in contest between rival tribes.
but was diverted to resistance of the
natives against the government.
The war was very bitter and very
bloody for time said Mr.. Senfft,
"but it was succession of guerrilla
fights without an open battle. The ma
tives fought with guns, spears and
sings. They had but few guns, but an
abundance of other weapons I took
part in eight scrimmages, in which 1O4
natives and one white man was killed.
Il was in command of the native pos
lice, who were constantly in the con-
test. doubt If the instruction would
have been quelled but for the German
war vessel that happened to visit the
island and the red paint that was sold
by willy native.
This fellow lived In the interior and
made a red dye from products of tire
islands. This he offered to the native
warriors as a sure Immunity from in

no bullet could pierce the paint il

FAMOUS IN HIS Way.


For Years Worth Had Been Che Autocrat
of Feniinine Fashions.
Charles Frederick Worth, the famous
man-milliner Of Paris, who died March
IL, was born in England at the little
town Of Bourne, Lancashire. His par
ents wanted to make printer of him,
but he early evinced a distaste to what
his parents regarded as work and went
to London. There he obtained posi-
ton with q dry goods firm, and within
a year was in the employ of Swan s.
Edgar, the Regent street diapers. Here
he attracted the attention of some Of
the firms buyers by his peculiar taste in
dress. According to the generally ac-
cepted story it was their commenda-
tions which caused hum to go to Paris,

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. THE Allie
gheny and Monongahela rivers are
rising rapidly. The indications are
that much damage to property will be
occasioned by the water and heavy Ice.
The principal damage SO far is in
the upper pools of the Monongahela
river to unprotected coal boats and
loaded coal fleets. Both rivers are full
of huge cakes of ice and running like
torrents. A great quantity Of wreckage
Is noticed among the ice, indicating
destruction of fences and small build
ings. Rivermen say today that they
expect thirty feet of water by tomor
row morning, with good prospects of
much more.
Along both river fronts in Pittsburg,
merchants and others whose property
is exposed are preparing to vacate. In
some places water has already ap
peared in the sub-cellars and machin-
cry pits. Railroads, both east and
west, are experiencing much trouble
today from high water. On the Balti-
more and Ohio railway huge landslide
occurred this morning near Connells-
vile and through traffic is temporarily
suspended.
Clearfield, Pa, Jan. 7.-There is
big flood in the Susquehanna river at
this point. The ice which was foot
thick broke up at noon today and went
out without gorging. and the river is
rising foot an hour. Great damage
is feared.
Rain has fallen steadily since early
Sunday morning.

SHE POISONED HIS TEA.
Michael Kossman Objects to the Season.
ing His Wife Placed in the Evening Bcv.
eragc and Has Her Placed in Jail.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Forest City, Pa, Jan. Some time
about three months ago Michael J.
Magdalene Miller, the 15-year-old
daughter of John Miller. of this
borough. Both parties are Polanders.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kossman settled on a
farm a short distance above Saltwater,
where they dwelt in harmony and peace
for five or six weeks.
About this time their relationship be-
came strained by report which Mrs.
Kossman heard in regard to her better
half. She resolved that she could no
longer live with the man who had
proved not worthy of her love. 1t was
on Nov. II when she thought the time
had come for her to act, so she pro-
cured some paris green and used con-
siderable of it for the flavoring Of the
tea, and also used it in other articles
of food.
Her husband upon drinking the tea
thought that aromatic herb had pecu-
liar taste. He also notified his father,
mother and hired man that We're eat
ing at the time that something was
wrong. He took the substance found in
the tea to DR.. Taylor, who pronounced
it paris green.
The husband tried to reason with his
wife for this rash act, but it was use
less, and the quarrels became very in
tense until the husband could endure 1t
no longer. He came to town Friday
and had a warrant issued for Mrs.
Kossman's arrest. Officer Jones exc
cuted the warrant and the faithless
woman was brought before Squire
Braman. AS the affair could not be
settled, Mrs. Kossman was taken to the
county Jail by Officer Jones Saturday
to await the action of the grand jury.
The friends of the husband declare
that Mrs. Kossman accuses her hus-
band wrongly and that the principal
motive was to get possession of some
ten houses and lots which Mr.. Kossman
and his parents own in Jermyn.
