MAKING A NEW TOWN.
What IA Great Industry Has Done In
Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania.
The town of South Sharon is a crea-
ton of the Sharon Steel company. The
originators of the company about two
years ago purchased over 1000 acres
south of Sharon, and after selecting
sites for the furnaces and mills laid out
the remainder of the land in lot plans.
The lots have been disposed of with
phenomenal rapidity.
The steel company has under course
of erection $50 dwellings, to be either
sold or rented, as tenants may prefer
There are also over $50 other houses
going up in the town. When all the
mills are running, many more homes
will be erected to accommodate work
men, to say nothing of other inhab-
itants of the place.
The main streets have been paved
and severed, and tracks for an electric
car line between the town and Sharon
have been completed. 1t is likely that
the town will be incorporated as bor-
ough and called Bull City, in honor Of
the first president of the steel com
pany.
The new town is now in the midst Of
a building boom. The finest building
thus far erected is the four story brick
office structure of the company on a
terrace 20 feet above Broadway, the
main street. The next building Of
prominence is the Broadway hotel. In
the business section stores are being
built, another hotel is soon to go up,
and in the residence districts many
handsome homes are being erected.

A Winter Sunset,

Leafess are the trees; their purple branches
Spread themselves abroad, like reefs of coral
Rising silent
In the red sea Of the winter sunset.
From the hundred chimneys of the village,
Like the Alfreet in the Arabian story,
Smoky columns
Tower aloft into the air of amber.
At the window winks the Pickering freight,
Here and there the lamps Of evening glimmeT,
Social watchfires
Answering one another through the darkness.
On the hearth lighted logs are glowing,
And like Ariel in the cloven pine tree,
For its freedom
Groans and signs the air imprisoned in them.
BY the Preside the old man seated,
Seeing ruined ties in ashes,
Asking sadly
OF the past what it can meier restore them.
By the freside there are youthful drcamers
Building castles tair, with stately stairways
Asking blindly
OF the future what it cannot give them.
BY the Preside tragedies are acted,
In whose scenes appear two actors only
Wife and husband,
And above them God, the spectator
By the Preside there is peace and comfort;
Wives and chill zen, with fair, thoughtful faces
Waiting, watching
For well known tootstep in the passage.
Each mans chimney is his Golden Milestone,
Is the central point from which he measures
Every distance
Through the gateways Of the world around him,
In his farthest wanderings still he sees it,
Hears the talking fame, the answering nigh
wind,
As he heard them
When he sat with those who were, but are not.
Happy he whom neither wealth nor fashion
Nor the march Of the encroaching city
Drives an exile
From the earth OF his ancestral homestead
We may build more splendid habitations,
Fill our rooms with paintings and with sculpture
But we cannot
Buy with gold the old assoCations
--Longfelow.

Men who VIII Not Finch.

l know that to live uprightly and
purely in this age is no play. A man
who resolves TO do it must put himself
on his guard. He needs an eye like
swallows and wrist plant and well
nerved to parry the thrusts or ward
off the passes Of his foe. There are
times when he must say mo" and
bring it out like the snap Of a frosty

must say Eyes" and make 1t ring like

The Love of Country,

Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own. my native land;
Whose heart hath ne'er within him turned
As home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on a foreign strand9
II such there breathe, go, mark him well;
For him no minstrel raptures SWELL
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;
Despite those titles, power and pelf,
The wretch concentrated'al in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown.
And, douby dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored and unsung.

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.
What WOman's Society Has Ac-
cOmpIished In a New York Town.

What Woman's Society Has Ac-
cOmpIished In a New York Town.
In a town in central New York the
Ladies' Village Improvement society
has purchased opera chairs for the vii
Iage theater and a street sprinkler.
Five of the women have been desig
mated the "fremen's relief" and they
make coffee and provide refreshments
for the fremen at fires. The society
has exercised its influence against the
prevalent habit of the male population
of eXpectorating tobacco juice on the
sidewalks and has had a gratifying
measure of success. 1t also brought
about the enactment Of a village or
dinance which provides for the arrest
of tramps if found within the limits of
the village, and notices to this effect
are posted along the highways near the
town and on the trees in town.
The society fosters town pride and
public spirit, and through its untiring
efforts the village stands out as a
model to be followed. Since its Or
ganizatiOn the society has completely
changed the aspect of the town, and
where neglect and carelessness were
formerly the rule neatness and tidiness
now prevail. Fences and sidewalks are
kept in repair, lawns laid out, the
streets cleared of rubbish, and flowers
and shrubbery have taken the place Of
weeds. The womens influence has ex-
tended to the neighboring farmers,
who, patterning after what they have
seen in the village, shave their lawns
and make their cottages and fences
neater. The society, it should be add
ed, religiously abstains from politics.

Philadelphia, Oct. 23.-An outrage
was perpetrated upon Mrs. s. b. Hill
man. wife Of the proprietor Of the
Beechwood Inn, at Jenkintown, near
here, when a fiend attacked her in a
dark part of the road, and after
smearing plaster over her mouth
stole her purse, and then. while she
lay In the road, poured coal oil over
her clothing and set fire to It,
Although posse of angry citizens
searched the neighborhood and the
surrounding country for hours, the
fiend escaped, and was still at large
yesterday.
Mrs. Hillman started from her home
to go to the station. 1t was her inten
tion to call on William B. Conard, who
lives at Wayne Junction. The train
left at 7.3s, and Mrs. Hillman hur-
ried along the road She passed a
spot where grows clump of trees,
and as she did so a man jumped out
from the shadow and seized her.
Before she could scream he slapped
her to the ground He then seized her
poeketbook. and, still holding her.
without word, poured bottle of
coal oil over her clothes. He then set
fire to her skirt and ran away.
Mrs. Hillman, almost frantic with
terror, struggled TO her feet. The
flames were already beginning to
creep up her skirt. She tried to shrek
for help, but the plaster stopped ut
terance. Then, with rare presence OF
mind, she unloosened her skirt at the
waist and let the blazing garment
drop to the ground.
Mrs. Hillman's underwaist almost
caught fire, but she beat out the
flames, and. mad with fear, ran to-
wards her home. She tried to tear
the plaster from her mouth, but could
not. She reached her own door, only
to fall in deep faint.

brought in and carried upstairs to her

and put her to bed. The clothes were
