Writes From McKeesport.

DEAR EDIToR:-Here is a little
sketch of my trip which you may
publish if you think it worth the
space:
left Fulton county August 30,
our friend J. p. Kerlin landing us
at Three Springs in time to get
the Z o'clock train for Mount
Union. Having a couple of hours
on our hands at Mount Union we
visited the canister WORKS which
we found in full blast.
On account of a wreck at New
ton Hamilton, we were a half hour
late leaving Mount Union.
| have sometimes thought there
is lots of work in Fulton, but
when 1 saw what was going on
along the line of the Pennsylvania
railroad l concluded we did not
know what work meant. saw
as many as ten or twelve small
engines in a line, all at work, and
men moiing in every direction.
This is not only in one place; but
all along the line from Mount
Union to Altoona, they are max
ing room to put down fourth
track and Strengthening the old
ones; so if there are any Fulton
county boys who want job, they
can get all the work they wish
out that way, and fair wages, too.
On across the Alleghanies to
Wilmerding, l found the same
condition as to work. Here l left
the main line, and boarded troll
ley that gave me nice ride to
East McKeesport, where | got a
job of carpentering at S2.75 q
day of nine hours. Carpenters
here get from $685. to $500 a day.
You can see more people here
in one day than in Fulton in a
year. Rent is high here. You
can't get house of any kind fol
less than $4,000 a month. Coco
houses are being built here now
all are being covered with slate
no shingles being used.
My first work was on store
room and Odd Fellows hall 24x70
l was at Kenneywood park las
night. / took a ride through
what they call "hell and heaven,
but l VIII not attempt to tell wha
l saw. You must come out ano
see for yourselves.

The Tobacco Law.

Representative Beaver, of Ju-

erence to the late act prohibiting
the sale of tobacco in any form to
persons under sixteen years of
age, desiring to know If a mer-
chant could fill an order from a
parent to be carried home by a
minor child under sixteen. The
Attorney General replied;
Replying to your letter of re-
cent date, with regard to the act
prohibiting the sale and furnish
ing of tobacco to persons under
the age of l6 years, l would ad-
wise you, unofficially, that section
9 of the act of July 10, 1901, re-
ferred to, which reads that no
person or persons shall by pur-
chase, gift or other means fur
nish tobacco in any form to a per.
son under the age of 16 years, is
broad enough to cover the cases
which you suggest in your letter.
By the terms of this act the sale
and furnishing of tobacco under
any circumstance to persons
under 16 years is absolutely pro
hibited. "

Answer to the Riddle.

DEAR EDIToR:-In answer to
the riddle in last weeks paper, |
agree that the prophet in mind
was before the characters men,
toned in the outstart of your rid
die, for he ertainly was with Ad.
am in the Garden of Eden Gen
esis 1: 21.) l also find his name
recorded in Matthew 1854, Mark
1890, Luke 22:34, and John 1888.
OF course, the beard of a chicken,
for the prophet evidently is the
cock spoken of in the scripture,
would not be like that of man
the crown evidently is the toppy
which appears on some chickens
his coat is not of the material
mentioned but of feathers. The
sermon he preached was to Pc
ter just before the crucifixion
Matthew 26;74--75. He wears
spurs as some horsemen do, ant
he fortells the coming Of day.

everlasting disgrace on his name
by killing Alexander Hamilton in

The college grounds embrace
1876 acres. The buildings are

just take possession of the town,

on them for it's support. To the
residents of Princeton the college
