The principal part of the Hermann
entertainments has always consisted OF
rare and startling phenomena, the work
seemingly setting at naught all the laws
Of nature. 1t is replete with mysticisms
and those ocult deeds ordinarily ascribed
to the redoubtable prince OF darkness.
Yet everything is simply done and the
Great Hermann has frankly disclaimed
any supernatural agencies.

A TRANSPARENT Trick,

The plan of the Democrats of the
Twenty seventh congressional district to
place in nomination the name of Hon.
Lewis Emery, Jr., in opposition to that
of Hon. Joseph G. Slbley, the regular
Republican nominee, Is being widely dis
cussed, and there is some speculation as
to its wisdom. Mr.. Emery being a Re
publican, the question naturally arises-if
the Democrats want to elect Republican
why not vote for Mr.. Sibley? TaA..
consideration the fact of the latter's long
experience as a representative from his
district in the cong 'ess of the United States,
and his great influence and power with the
administration, it is hard to conceive of a
better man for the place. All these
qualifications only make him better fitted
to represent the district again. The at
tempt to bring out Mr.. Emery is too trans
parent not to be seen through by the voters
of the Twenty district. 1t is
gIaringly apparent that not ten per
cent of those who signed the call for him
would have done so were he not supposed
to possess a barrel and would unhead it.
1t was not a question Of finding someone
who would more ably perform the duties
Of congressman than would Mr.. Siblcy,
or one who would have power to do the
greatest good for the district; but they
wanted someone with "the power of gold.
and possessed Of plenty of the "power. -
1t would be hard to find another man
possessing the influence, ability and power
to do good for his district, for his state
or for the nation, equal to that of Hon
Joseph c. Sibley.-Titusville World.

Cut Prices on Job Printing.

We want to talk little to our merch-
ants and others who consume printing.
We have a few plain facts we want to
present to them.
It's not case of ''beefn or scold. but
simply comparison.
The cheap printing man has been in
town in person and by sample. s2gl' -. -.
His prices are low(?)
They are considerably lower than
any of the local offices ask.
Can't we do it at the same price?
But that's another story, and will be
considered again.
You know it's easy to say to the
printer: ooh you are too high; we can
get this work for so and So"
Observe this now:
The furniture man in the city adver-
tises goods away down, and we go to
the local dealer, and ask him about it.
And he truly says: "Inferior article"
The city dentist says ne will make
teeth at half the price charged here.
The local dentist truly says: "Infer-
ior work and material"
The city tailor says he will make a
suit for whole lot less than the local
man.
The local tailor truly says: "Not
well made"
The city druggist advertises medi-
cines at cut rates.
The local druggist says: inferior
and worthless drugs"
The city grocer, dry goods man, and
others quote prices the local man don't
touch, but the local truly remarks:
''Not the same goods"
With daily paper before us just now
we see things advertised, so we know
that printing is not the only commod-
ity offered away down. Oh no, not by
good bit.
And now the moral:
No story is worth anything without
moral.
The moral is: 'The local printer is
not the only pebble on the beach, who
-"ote with the cutrthroat
fakir."
Mr.. Business Man, you don't compete
successfully either; why do you expect
your neighbor in the printery to do so?
Try thinking about it.
Try thinking about the "cheap man"
in your own line.
It's double action story.-Latrobe
Advertiser.

The Ladies of Emmanuel Church have
tackled a Knotty Problem, but the spec
tators who will be so fortunate as to be
present at the Spinsters' Convention on
Tuesday evening, June 18th, will see
these ladies win out handsomely in their
startling project. What Hawthorne's
somber fancy dreamed of will be realized
in merry earnest before the eyes of a sur
prised and delighted audience Dr. Hei-
deggers experiment will pale before the
unparalleled achievements of Professor
Pinkerson's Electric Remodclscope The
Doctors Water of Youth possessed merely
a virtue more transient than wine; but
Professor Pinkerson's apparatus is war
ranted to transform the victims of age and
wrinkles into maidens whose blooming
youth and beauty will be proof against all
ordinary tests OF time.
OF course all this is plan OF campaign
against the uncaptured hosts Of single
men. As wise campaigners, these design
ing spinsters have prepared complete and
authoritative lists of all eligible single men,
old and young We understand that
these lists will be submitted in Conven-
ton. There will be many other amusing
features.

Coal and Iron Gen ter.

Birmingham, Ala. is built on foun- dation of limestone. Its southern lim= its touch a range of hills which are filled with iron ore. On the north lies another ridge containing immense deposits of coal. Nowhere else, it is claimed. are the three essentials for the manufacture of iron and steel found so close together. As a eonse- quenee, Birmingham is one of the greatest producers of iron and steel in the world A new steel mill, to cost $1, ,500, ,000, and a rod, wire and nail mill, to cost $2,0o0,o00, are now in process of erection. Birmingham makes pig iron at q cost of $6 a ton and basic steel at an additional cost of from s to $5 a ton. Because of the low cost of production, it's mills send more pig iron to foreign countries than all the rest of the United States put together. During the first six months of 1898 Birmingham shipments to foreign ports amounted to 98,000 tons of pig iron, in addition to 5000 tons of cast iron pipe. Foreign trade for 1899 will show an increase of more than B per cent over last year.
