1t does not follow from this
that one should be Indifferent to
the faults of Others or off guard
against the wiles and evil de-
signs of others, nor that they
should condone or approve them.
But on the contrary when it be-
comes a duty to rebuke them
either personally or in executing
the wise purposes of church or
state it should be done fearlessly,
thoroughly, candidly and justly.
Not in a meddlesome, critical,
patronizing and assuming man
per, but modestly and kindly.
We should all be more happy
and prosperous if we should re-
gard the success and happiness
of others as it is-available and

Overdose of Ether.

DIR. J. G. Coffin, OF Brockwayville,
was found dead In his bed Sunday even
ing. He had been heard to retire
Saturday night and as he did not appear
all day Sunday and there was no stir in
his apartments his room door was forced
open Sunday evening and the doctor
was found dead in bed. His head was
covered over with the bed clothes and
over his face was cloth saturated with
ether. A jury was empannelled and
held an inquest. The verdict was that
death was caused by an overdose Of
ether but not with suicidal intent.
The doctor was bachelor and occupied
rooms over his Office in double house.
He was a native Of Maine and was about
43 years old. 1t is supposed that he
used the ether to induce sleep and got
an overdose of it.

Don't Need "Bolstering Up."

The Reynoldsville correspondent took
up half column in the last issue OF the
Punxsutawney Spirit in continuing his
attack on the principal OF our schools,
making insinuations and misconstru-
ing statements made in THE STAR.
Prof. Lenkerds cause does not need
"bolstering up and THE STAR has had
no other motive in view for defending
the Professor, from an unjust and un-
called for abuse, than sense of right and
justice. 1t has always been the aim Of
The STAR to stand up for the right.
We may be in error some times, but In
this case we are not. We have no
desire to keep up a continued contro-
versy over this matter. The only thing
that the correspondent said last week
that was of any consequence was that
"Our school board is composed OF men
OF intelligence who will govern them
selves accordingly when the proper
time comes for selecting a principal" "
We heartily endorse that statement.

An Organization Effected.

A meeting was held in Centennial

Y. NJ. G.. A. was organized. G. Walter
Palen was elected president; Prof.
George w. Lonkord e-presdent;
Rev. w. +. Reber secretary and S. s.
Robinson treasurer. Secretary Will
helm, OF the Dubois Y. NJ. G.. A., was
present and gave the newly organized
association some good pointers on the
work to be done. The committee that
had been appointed the previous Sunday
to look for rooms reported that two
suitable rooms could be secured in the
Star building, one could be used for a
reading room and the other for gym
nasium. IL has not been decided yet
whether these rooms will be rented or
or not. II will depend, no doubt, on
whether the owner OF the building will
allow gas to be put in the rooms. A
meeting OF the Y. M. G. A. will be held
in Centennial hall Sunday afternoon to
which the public has cordial invitation
to attend, especially the young men.

diana and Jefferson, will be held In
Brookville on Thursday, June 10, 1897.

Postofi ce Inspector Here.

II was mentioned in THE STAR u few
weeks ago that the Postoiilce Depart

postmaster at Rcynoldsville for reasons
set forth in the papers filed. AS II re-

arrived in Reynoldsville Thursday

McGaw before his time expires, which
will be the 30th Of April, 1898 The +.
O. official called on large number Of
our business men Friday forenoon and
inquired into the conduct Of the post
master. The official did not call at
THE STAR office nor did we meet him,
yet we were informed by n disinterested
party, who did talk to him, that the in
spector said he only found two business
men among the number upon whom he
called, that did not have some word Of
praise for Postmaster McGaw. IL was
acknowledged that he was grabbed with
some people some times. but on the
other hand he gave the people good
service and kept the office clean and in
good order. The inspector was some
what guarded as ,o what he said, yet
he left the impression that the post
master at this place would have the

A Plea for Tidy Streets.

EDITOR STAR
II Is pleasure to note the disposition
shown by so many OF our citizens To
make things neat and tidy around their
premises, and rs chairman of the street
committee-upon whom has been laid
the care Of the streets for the coming
year, wish to express my qualification
OF such endeavor by those who manifest
II and to urge and encourage others TO
do likewise. We may make the streets
ever so attractive and neat but we can
not keep them so II persons permit them
TO become disordered in front Of their
own promises. Neither should tax pay
ers be called upon TO defray the OK
penses Of cleaning up after many or
even few people. Let each one attend
to Keeping the street free from any and
every improper thing in front Of his
own premises and the thing will be ac-
complishcd
Now that the burden of guarding
against marauding boasts is to bc lifted
from the public, people can remove the
fences from their front yards and haye
assurance that no ones cattle will be
pastured upon their domain, or that
the walks will be broken or deficd.
do most sincerely wish that every effort
consistent with reason shall ~ made by
every one to make our town neat and
attractive. We need not expect any to
come into our midst to take up their
abode with us while we are lax or neg,i-
gent. Not one Of my readers would
choose an ill-kept, filthy town TO reside
in in preference 10 clean one. II rests
with the people now here whether we
shall have II beautiful town. II may be
made very pleasant and attractive, but
IL must be done by ourselves. I would
be glad TO see rivalry among our peo-
pie in this respect. Women take just
pride in being esteemed neat and tidy
housekeepers, | look upon such as not
being much, il any, lower than the
angels, and do not see why man should
not wish to enjoy similar estimation
by his fellow mortals. I hold it every
ones duty to his neighbors 10 make his
homo surroundings pleasant.
Now | have written further on this
subject In the Toi,,aieer and wish every
reader Of this shall peruse that rs I
shall wish every reader Of that to peruse
this. Sincerely Yours,
$. u. ELLIOTT.
