CHRISTMAS SHoPPINa-The sigma Of
Christmas are in the streets and stores
and almost Oh every hard. The shop
windows wear their most attractive as
pect, and it is difficult even for the
most hurried person to Jas them by
without stopping for at least brief in
spection. Beautiful things are display
ed, to look upon which is to make one
wish for the purse Of Fortunatus. One
caonot buy everything, aud the en-
barrassment of riches makes choice
most difficult. A material aid in Crap
ping with the difficulty is furnished by
the Christmas advertisements, where
the story is told of the most desirable
things to be had, and choice may be
made at leisure.

Battle With Thieves.

KrrrASSISG, Feb. 26.--The loss Of some
meat from spring house of a farmer re-
suited i'm battle last night i'm Kittanning
township between number of farmers
and the thieves.
on wednesday night the spring house
of Daniel Schrecengost, who lives five
miles from here, was broken into and the
winters supply of meat was taken sway
Bnt owing to the weight of the meat, the
robbers did not carry it far, but placed IL
under rail pile nearby. intending to re-
new the attack last night and carry the
meat away. But their plans were rudely
spoiled.
The farmers saw the meat and imagined
that the thieves would return. So they
procured revolvers, shotguns, and musk
cts and secreted themselves near the rail
pile.
Last night the thieves came again and
were met by broadside. One of the
men WAS shot, but managed To escape
The other was fortunate enough net to get
within range of the shotgun battery.
Shots were returned by the robbers, but
ON account of the darkness and not wait
ing to see the whites of their enemies
eyes, the farmer brigade escaped injury
In the midst of the general fusillade the
horse and buggy brought by the thieves
10 carry away the booty came laundering
down the road. The farmers all took aft
er the horse and caught him, minus the
driver. Neither the horse nor buggy was
identified, but it is believed that the rob-
bers are well-known local sneak thieves.

The State Treasury.

From the Harrisburg Telegraph.
From the tone of discussion in many
Of the newspapers one might imagine
that the State of Pennsylvania has been
losing great sums through the misman-
agement of the State Treasury, and that
an investigation wonld disclose the fact
that the present system was honeycomb-
ed with corruption. To those who be-
lieve that such is the fact We commend
the statement of State Treasurer Hay
wood, printed in the Telegraph Of Thurs
day evening. He says that but little
more than 5000 have been lost in the
last half century of Treasury manage
ment, and this notwithstanding during
that time. there was collected S59S, ,OO1, 900.
This certainly does not justify the criti-
cisn which is 50 resklessly made of the
Treasury management. while it is true
that large balances in the banks ought to
net the State some increase in the way of
interest, yet the prudence and care eKef-
cised by our financial officers. as Illus
trated in these figures, is such as we have
reason to be proud Of There had been
during recent years appropriations large
ly in excess Of the revenues, as demon
strated by the figures produced in Gov
ernOr Hastings very able message. But
this is the fault of the Legislature, and
the Legislature may possibly be excused
because of the persistent importantly OF
the people who are running the chari-
ties of the State. They are the most i'm
Fortunate, and have the least regard for
the financial condition of the State, of
any class Of people who take money out
of the Treasury. And again the increase
in the ordinary expenditures is natural.
This increase may be larger than ii ought
to be. But that the increased business OF
the State would necessarily bring with it
an increase in expenditures is only nat
ural. However. with all investigating
committees on hand that now seem 20 he
anxiously probing. there ought to he suf-
ficient to justify the charges or To con-
denim them as the work OF spiiefui, dis
appointed or malicious people.
