nouncements through catalogues sent ouI
by mammoth supply houses from dis
tant cities, says an exchange. just step
into the store of your local merchant and
price the same article that has attracted
your attention in the catalogue. In most
cases you will find 1t cheaper in price
and often better in quality, and then you
save express or freight, to say nothing
of encouraging home enterprise.
Now that it is known that the Penn
sylvania railroad has secured possession
of the Western New York and Penhsyl-
vania system it is believed, says the
Pittsburg Post, that they will create a
new system to embrace the Allegheny
Valley, Western New York and Penn
sylvania and part of the Philadelphia &
Erie and that the present efficient force in
control of Allegheny affairs will be given
jurisdiction over the new system and
that it will be operated separately.
"A party of eight or nine persons
started from here Monday for the Pacific
coast region. The names OF those whom
we were able to get are as fellows: John
Dotterer and wife of Kellettyille, VIM.
Atwell and wife of East Hickory. Solo
mon Beck and wife of Tylersburg, Pierce
Lucart of Newmansville, Archie Cropp
of Crop Hill, and c.. r. Bell of Sandy
Lake, Pa. They expect to make tEeir
frat sfOn M OStranAar WocbinartOn
where MIR. Dotterer will enter the en-
ploy of e. S. Collins.
"A number of our young men who
have the B. b. fever have been putting
forth very earnest efforts toward organiz-
| ing team here this season and every
thing looks favorable at this time, and
quite a liberal fund has been raised.
There will be meeting of the "fans' in
the sitting room of Hotel Agnew to.mor-
row (Thnrsdsy) evening at o'clock and
all are cordially invited to come out and
encourage the boys, not only verbally,
but financially. Let's have good team
here this summer. "Put up the stuff"
Supervisors should remember the
law passed by the state legislature in
1899, requiring them all to make a con-
tract annually "with one or more tax
payers to remove and take away the
loose stone from the main travelled high
way in such township, at least once each
month during the months of April, May
June, July, August, September and Oc-
tober, each year." The sum to be paid
for this work shall be credited on the
road tax of the persons doing it. See the
law in full in pamphlet laws of 1899, page
l64.
If Editor Irwin of the Franklin Spec
tator has the situation properly in hand,
and eye no doubt he has, wen join him
in absenting ourself from the big Paris
Show this summer. He is of the opinion
that it is a risky thing for party to go
there, especially if it includes women.
Incompatible Paris has prepared herself
to simply take the hide from the outside
barbarians. 1t is all vast conspiracy,
organized in every detail. Next winter
we'll be chipping in for fund to relieve
the survivors of the Paris Imposition,
The trouble is not with the Exposition,
proper. That is all right, and costs but a
franc to admit. The trouble is with the
Exposition improper. No Midway will
be run within the grounds, but outside
the limits there will be any amount of
deviltry. There are shows with half a
hundred Geisha girls from Japan, lots of
Nautrh dancers, and whole bevies of Ori-
entail houris. All are expensive and must
be seen. Once seen, never forgotten.
The Exposition is great sideshow. A
tough and sinful exhibit is the real thing.
Put it down for me, Hinnissy, remarks
Mr.. Dooly, "that all exposltions is a
blind FIR the hootchy kootchy dance"
John Seldom, farmer living near
.Plumer, was brought to the city yester-
day forenoon and gave bail for his appear
ance at hearing to be held before Alder
man McSteen on Monday. The case is a
rather peculiar one, and is brought under
an act approved of in June, 1887, for the
DTOItCIlOu VI lOItSJ NOOu lhuu. L SISi
Berry is the prosecutor. He claims that
Seldom started fire in brush heap on
his own farm, but that the fire spread to
the property owned by the plaintiff,
damaging some timber and other prop
erty. The act, under which the COM
plant is made, prohibits the carrying of
a torch or other naked light through the
woods at night; prohibits the setting fire
to brush or woods on ones own property
without properly providing for the pro-
lection of neighboring property. Where
it can be proven that fire was, through
carelessness or malice, permitted to
spread to adjoining property, fine not to
exceed $50 is provided for in this act.
One-half of this fine goes to the complain
ant and the other TO the school fund
Derrick. AS a result of the trial of Sell
don, the Alderman fined him $50 and
costs. The defendant will likely appeal
the case to court.
