In prayer, when he said: Almighty
and kind father who doth from thy
throne look down on the government
OF men, and delinquent subscribers,
most humbly we beseech thee to
draw near unto them and whisper "a
few things into their ears that the
statutes forbid us to utter. Thou
knowest our wants, but the subscri-
bers knoweth them not and seldom
stop to inquire. Let it be known
unto them that there are large
patches on the homestead of our
pants, and that we hunger and
thirst and he asketh US not to SUP

that our paper and ink cost money,
but the subscriber knoweth it not,
and careth darn sight less. Thou
knoweth we are cold and the sub
scriber bringeth not the wood he
promised. and we are shivoring and
shaketh while he roasteth his shins
before the red hot stove of his moth.

Lord, and if he then faileth and

perity howlers, and thine shall be
the glory and praise throughout our
newspaper career. Amen.

Tuesday, August 3lst.
Extensive improvements through.
out the buildings and on the already
beautiful campus are being made,
and large amount OF new appara.

The faculty will remain nearly the
same as last year, except that spe-
cialist in biology and kindred sci

for the increased number of gradu.
ates returning to take the advanced
course.
Certain changes in the program
will facilitate the work for students
deficient in particular branches, en-.
abling them to strengthen their
scholarship in these without retard.

Careful provision has been made for
students needing special drill in En-
glish.
The number of students enrolled
for the Fall term was never before

SuppressinQ Real News.

which the local newspaper publisher
daily hears. To oblige often costs
considerable, through the persons
making the request think the grant

YOU" A newspaper is q peculiar
article in the public's eye. The news
gatherer is stormed because he gets
hold OF one item, and is abused
because he does not get another.
Young men, and often young women
as we'll as older, perform acts which
are legitimate items for publication,
and then rush to the newspaper
Offices to beg the editors not to
notice the escapades. The next day
they condemn the same paper for
not having published another party
for doing the same they were guilty
of, forgetting, apparently, their late
visit to the printing Office.
The people who buy paper
expect the news and ought to have
to have it when it is legitimate
and is news. Scandals are
suppressed by the best paper until
some official action it taken regard
ing them, and tfen they are used.
Items interesting practically nobody
can be "killed," too, without affect
ing the worth ola newspaper. But
the real news" must and ought to
be printed, and to ask editors to
suppress it is like going to dry
goods store and telling the proprie-
tor to stop selling certain lines of
silk or satin.-Ec.

Notice to DeI'nquents.

The following, taken from recent
issue of the Punxsutawney Spirit,
Is so applicable to the Posr and some
ofits subscribers that we copy it and
ask those whom it its to read it care
fully:
10 those of our subscribers who
have taken this paper for four or
hve years without paying u cent, we
wish to say a word in confidence.
We fully appreciate the great com
pliment paid us in lifting the paper
every week for so long time with
out a murmur, but as we are not in
business wholly for our health, we
would modestly suggest that unless
something is done very soou we will
drop all those who are in arrears
Tor four years and over, and leave
the accounts for collection. No man
would permit his grocer's bill to run
along four or fivo years without pay.
ing anything and still continue to
deal at the same place. The grocer
would not enjoy it either. Any man
's likely to get year or two in ar
rsars on newspaper without think
ing much about it, but when it runs
along quietly for half decade, he
ought to think about it, and pay it
up. The printing business is bad
enough when everybody pays
promptly, but when large nunber
exhibit so little concern about their
Indebtedness ss to let it accumulate
Tor five years it is not a matter of
levity.

The Republican State Convention,
which meets in Harrisburg Thursday
will be the largest in point of dele.
gates the party has ever held in this
State. The increased representation
is due to the tremendous vote polled
in Pennsylvania last fall for Mckinley
and Hobart. The convention will be
held on Thursday in order that tho
delegates from Erie and other dist
ant points may get there to attend
the preliminaries without having to
leave home on Sunday. There will
be 363 delegates in the Convention.
The Pennsylvania Legislature

paying for the transportation OF the
surviving soldiers. who took part in

A BLACK CATS VISIT.
Fate OF n Woman Who Believed II
Brought Good Luck.


Brought Good Luck.
The black cat superstition certainly
has strong hold. A strange black cat
came to the residence Of Troy fam
lily during the present year, and it was
occasionally fed by the lind-hearted
woman of the house. The cat kept
coming, says the Troy Press, and in
sisted upon demonstrating itself, and
the woman laughingly remarked to her
friends that it was a sign of good luck.
But she had no children, and did not
want to be troubled with a cat. She
told her husband that he must get
rid of it. They disliked to kill the cat,
and finally decided to take it into the
country and drop it.
Late one afternoon they put the
cat in u bag and drove about five miles,
when they, united the bag ard freed
the cat, after which they returned rap
idly. The woman. died inside of half
an hour after reaching home, an ac-,
cident Detailing her.
If it be good luck for black cat
to come to ones house, it surely must
signify poor luck to take or drive !;
away. The woman was familiar Vii.
the omen, as she had repeated - *
ferred to it, but probably never stopped
to consider that such sign Nc:i.a,
imply evil consequences if the harbin-
ger of good was turned away. At all
events, she took the black cat cway..
and was killed almost Immediately
thereafter. While we take no stoc! I.
whatever in this popular superst itiop.
we know the facts to he as stated.
A few days after the funeral the cat
came back. @
