"The American Girl. I"

Can you picture to yourself rushing,
mounting wave? Its crest Is white with
foam. Every moment 1t gathers force.
It's coloring is more vivid, more strik-

rises to the utmost height. There Is a
sudden crash, binding mass Of falling
water, a deafening roar. The wave
has fallen. The echoes thunder out its
requiem. Can you picture this? Yes ?
Then you have an idea of the force of
''The American Girl" 1t is the
strongest comedy drama that has been

one as comes, binding like flash Of
lightning by its intensity, answering
back with the thunder In the shape OF
tumultuous applause. Ne,cs.

Fatal Accident.

George Dixon, a sixteen-year.old boy
of Prescottville, was so badly injured in
the Sprague mine last Wednesday that
he died Sunday afternoon. George was
employed in the mine as trapper. He
was riding out on the front end of a trip
OF cars and through the fault of some
one an empty car was standing out over
n switch far enough for the loaded car
the boy was on to crash into it, and he
was caught across the stomach between
the cars as they collided. The deceased
was son of John Dixon, who was in
Colorado, near Denver, when the acci-
dent happened to his son. He was tele-
graphed for and arrived here at noon
yesterday. Funeral will be held in the
Catholic church at nine o'clock this

Pythian Anniversary.

Nineteen years ago last Wednesday
Valiant Lodge No 46l, Knights OF
Pythias, was organized in Reynoldsville
with membership Of thirty, and its
membership now numbers ninety. Out
of the thirty charter members only
three are now in this lodge. Supreme
Vice Chancellor Thomas G. Sample, OF
Pittsburg, was present when Valiant
Lodge WAS organized, and he was also
present last Wednesday evening. The
anniversary exercises were held in Bells
hall. Past Chancellor Philip Koehler
presided. DR.. Ernest, of Punxsutawney,
made the opening address. The M. f.
quartette. Messrs. John Trudgen and
John Reddeclif and Misses Lizzie
Koehler and Carrie Albright, sang II
selection. Rev. Thomas Booth then
made short address. Rev. Booth had
the honor Of riding the same Pythian
goat" that President Mckinley rode,
or in other words, was initiated in the
same lodge that the President was
initiated in. After this address it was an
| nounced that the artists of the culinary
department had their part of the pro-
gram ready, and an hour was spent in
replenishing the inner man. The quar-
tette then sang another selection and
then Supreme Vice Chancellor Sample
was introduced and in forty minute
address said many complimentary and
praiseworthy things of the Knights OF
| Pythias. He said in 1878 the X. OF p. had
a membership Of 10000, and now 1t has
500, 900, and that the time will come when
its membership will be over 100000. A

Mr.. Sample closed his speech at II .4O
and then William Coping announced
that there would be turkey walk.
Sheriff Burns and wife were first in line
for the turkey but Sam'l Saxton and Mrs
Coping were the winners. The turkey
proved to be small roasted spring

Put on More Postal Clerks.

The postal clerks on the A. V. R'y
want an order issued compelling the
citizens OF this borough and West
Reynoldsville to drop their mail In the
postoffice instead of mailing on the
trains. On Monday morning the mail
carrier at this place handed the postal
clerk over one hundred letters, and
these would all have to be sorted and
stamped before the train arrived at
Hopkins, one and q half miles west OF
here, besides the work Of opening the
pouch and sorting out what other mail
there was for Hopkins. We understand
that the work is very heavy on this road
for the mail agents, and especially or
trains Nos. and 2. 1t is very con-
venient for the public to mail letters on
the trains and II one mail agent cannot
do the work, two can, and we don't be
lieve the people should be debarred
from mailing letters on the train
This would not only apply to Reynolds
vile, but all along the A. V. R'y, fol
Uncle Sam would not be just to deny
our people privilege that would be
granted to others.
Some people think that Postmaster
McGsw's salary is based on the number
Of stamps cancelled at the ReynOldsvills
Office and that he has something to d.
with the attempt to put a stop to thu
mailing Of letters on the trains. Th'
postmaster's salary here is based on thu
amount Of stamps sold and other business
OF the Office, and the canceling o
stamps has nothing to do with tho sal
ary. Fourth class postmasters hav'
their salaries based on the number Q
stamps cancelled, but Reynoldsville !

An Opinion About Football.

Football was once a very healthful,
harmless and innocent amusement, and
just the gymnastic thing for idle bones
or tired brain, but 1t has become so
woefully scientific OF late, and so much
modelled after prize flght-the ending
often times no less tragic-that as now
played, the right Of the game to an ex-
istence is becoming'seriously question
able. Then, too, the game Is now
handled and rated and advertised, and ,
practically at least, given the same i'm
pOrtance as the useful professions,
that one would think it rs necessary as
farming, and that II it were discon-
tinued thousands Of people would lose
their work and suffer impoverishment.
What's the good, anyhow, Of making
so much of a mere child's play, ask,
and believe with every show Of reason!
Is anyone the wiser, or the better, or
the richer after the game has come or?
In the writer's mind, it Is rather the
reverse, and he knows OF nothing in
vogue more calculated to lower the
standard OF manhood than the present
day football.
This nation will go down In history
as the one that made foot ball its chiei
and most important institution. l. A. s.
