A Railroad Graveyard

What is called railroad graveyard
has been established at Rochester.
Hundreds of cars, put out of service
by wreck or condemnation, are torn
apart and destroyed. The work re-
quires not only physical strength, but
mechanical training. The man must
submit to the strain of hammering,
pulling rivets and untwisting which
is imposed upon him without COM
plaint. 1t requires patience, skill,
strength and activity to be a railroad
car undertaken.

PlTH AND POINT.

If you accept fiattery, you are con-
ceited.
There is such a thing as being a vic
tim of hope.
The "story" that sounds funny to
you may not be funny to other people.
Don't repeat it too often.
When a man and woman walk into
Il store to buy something for the man,
the clerk never sells him anything. He
sells to the woman.
Every minute a man spends in his
parlor his wife is nervously appre-
hending that he will discover a new
scratch the boy has made in the furni-
ture.
Somehow after one returns from a
funeral at the cemetery the furniture
and carpets at home look newer and
brighteE and more attractive than they
did. d.-Atchlson Globe.

According to Vienna newspaper, a
theatrical agent of that city recently
inserted an advertisement in a number
of Austrian and German papers stat
ing that he wanted a penniless count
or baron to appear on the stage Of
continental music halls. No less than
fourteen counts and barons, all Of
whom could prove beyond doubt the
possession of their titles and ancient
lineage, applied for employment of this
kind.

Saluvia, at few minutes past
twelve o'clock, Monday night, oc-
Cured the death of the subject
of this notice, at the age of II
years, l month and 30 days.
Mrs. Sipes, or "Aunt Maggie"

ship, maintaining most hospita-
BILE and delightful home until the
death of her husband, June 90,
1898, since which time her home
has been with her daughter
Maude-Mrs. Austin-as before
mentioned.
Being the daughter of very
pious parents, she seemed natur
ally religious, and at a very early
age became a member of the NJ.
E. church, and the unwavering
faith she had in her Savior, made
her life one continuous benedic-
tion to those who were within the
circle of her influence. Her re-
mains were laid to rest at Sloan
beside those of her husband,
Wednesday afternoon, followed
thither by large number of sin
cere mourners. Revs. Ash and

death of Sister Ranck the commu-
nifty has lost a good citizen, the

husband and affectionate wife,
the children a loving mother. In
her last hours she expressed her

Birthday Social.

While the grown people of this

forgotten. Birthday parties are
held by the little ones, but among
the most enjoyable for some time
was that given on last Monday

daughter Maria Dickson's ninth
anniversary. Early in the even
ing twenty two little girls rush
ed in upon Maria Dickson, and
for about three hours, made the
house ring with their mirth, songs
and plays. The climax to the
occasion was reached, when those
twenty-three young misses, with
countenances beaming with in
nocent enjoyment, were seated
around the dining table. 1t was
picture most pleasing to the
older folks. A few grown ladies
assisted in furnishing amuse-

on the occasion were beautiful,

Hannah Kuhn.

The quiet little village of Big
Cove Tannery was startled last
Sunday morning by the report
that Haonah Kuhn had died sud
denly. Her age was about II
years. While she had not been
well for a few days preceding, a
number of friends who spent
Saturday evening with her, bade
her good night without the slight
est apprehension that the shadow
of Death was then gathering over
her home. She slept alone, and
when Miss Ollie Yonker, an in
mate of the home, went to call
her in the morning she found her
lifeless.
The deceased was a daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Kuhn, and
was born in the Little Cove, but
about 1850, the family moved to
this county, and with the except
ion of her brother Noah, at Mer-
cersburg, she is the last of the
family. She is survived by two
daughters, Lou (Mrs. George
Kerper), and Miss Jennie, both
of Cincinnati. Interment took
place in Union cemetery Wednes-
day afternoon.

COMMUNICATED.

Mr. PECK, DEAR SIR:-Your
statement in Fulton County News
of February 81, brings to mind
several features of direct inter
stto the taxpayersof this county.
There was evidently a willful
waste of the public funds. Then
what about the board of review
who favorably passed upon the
accounts?
The Commissioners acting in
the double capacity of State and
County officers by increasing the
assessment in order to meet these
exorbitant bills, also increase the
State tax, and so impoverish our
county by sweeping our money
into the already overhowing treas
ury of the State.
Equal taxation is a blessing by
its cohesive power of protection;
but, when levied regardless of
individual rights, it becomes an
oppression and through that bur-
den, has driven many of the best
of our citizens to seek homes in
more favored districts.
If we empower, by unwise Sc
lection, irresponsible men to fill
responsible positions-whose feel
ings are circumscribed by the
narrow limits of prejudice and
partisanship-then we suffer, as
long as tolerance exists.
Is is not time that people awak-
en- to the fact that our institutions
cannot be preserved or the great
end of their establishment secur-
ed, if those elected to sustain
them are destitute of the spirit
which forms their strength? Ev-
cry unprincipled man is a traitor
to his country and her institu-
tiOnS.
The man who can rise in the es.
timation of his fellowman, must
have deep sense or moral obi
CATION. Such a man has decis,
ion of character; he thinks and
acts for himself; he is not tool
to serve the purpose of party, but
a responsible constituted memb ber
of the universal brotherhood OF
man.
"It is not the high lowered battlement,
Thick wall, or moated gate;
But men-true, noble, fearless men
That constitute our State"
