The Late Mrs. Church,

The following additional particulars of
the late Mrs. Matilda Church, who died
at her home on Church Hill on the 18th
inst, have been handed us for publi-
cation:
For many years she had been afflicted
with bronchitis and about three week :
previous to her death she was seized
with la grippe. From the first of her
sickness, those that waited upon her felt
there was little hope ofrecovery: but she
left blessed testimony that she was not
afraid to die, and during the early NOR
ming hours her spirit took its flight TO
return to the God who gave it. At her
bedside were her son, S. f. Church of
Church Hill, and her step-son, John C.
Church of W. Va, Misses Kate and Mar
garet Dempsey of Franklin. Pa, neices
of the deceased, and Miss Laura Church
of Fertigs, Pa, neice of the late Ira
Church. She is survived by the follow
ing step-children: Mrs. J. II. Wentworth
OF Tionesta twp, Mrs. Jacob Shaffer,
Mrs. Shellas Range and James Church
OF Hickory twp, Mrs. Joshua Hall of w.
Va, and Hilton Church of New Mata-
moras, Ohio. Also brother and sister,
Albert Dempsey of Iowa, and Mrs. James
Reynolds of Sibley, Iowa. Matilda
Dempsey Church was born in Colum-
biana Co., Ohio. She was the second
daughter of Samuel Dempsey. On July
p 1865, she was married to the late Ira
Church, being his second wife. Funeral
services were held at her late home Tues
day morning last at 10 o'clock, conducted
by Rev. Stone Of YoungsviIle, Pc. Her
age was II years, . months and 20 DAYS.
Her remains were laid to rest beside her
late husband in the cemetery on Church
Hill"
The surviving relations desire to return
thanks to the neighbors and friends for
their = any acts of kindness during tie
illness and after the death of Mrs. Church.

The People Are With Mckinley.


The Presidents policies are right and
the people are with him. Fair-minded
Democrats know that he is right aud that
they cannot consistently oppose him.
For that reason they let go of Organism,
but perhaps try to keep up an appear
ance that will not cut them of from the
support OF Democratic districts.
There has usually been reaction after
the strain ofa presidential campaign so
that after two years the President was
confronted by a Congress from the op-
posing party. But the Congress elected
in the middle Of President McKinley's
term, and again at the end of his fist
term, contains growing Republican ma
jorities.
The spring elections everywhere this
year show that Mckinley policies have
lost none of their popularity with the
people. Strongly partisan Democrats
may continue to carp, but fair Democrats
are not trying to trip the President and
increase the difficulties of his position.
They know that he is right and do not
seek to prevent him from going ahead

Inaugural EpigramS.
BY President Mckinley:

BY President Mckinley:
The path of progress is seldom smooth.
There are some national questions in
the solution of which patriotism should
exclude partisanship.
We will not leave the destinies of the
loyal millions in the islands to the dis
loyal thousands.
The American people, intrenched in
freedom at home, take their love for it
with them wherever they 60.
The prophets of evil were not the
builders of the republic, nor in its crises
since have they saved or served it.
Sectionalism has disappeared. Divi-
sion on public questions can no longer be
traced by the war maps of 1861.
Surely, after lbs years OF achievment
for mankind, we will not surrender our
equality with other powers on matters
fundamental and essential to nationality.
BY Vice President Roosevelt:
Accordingly as we do well or in, so
shall mankind in the future be raised or
cast down.
We belong to a young nation, already
of giant strength, yet whose present
strength is but a forecast of the power
that is to come.
A great work lies ready to the hand of
this generation; it should count itself
happy, indeed, that it is given the privi-
lege Of doing such work.

The Greatest in Western Pennsylvania.

The Pittsburg Dispatch during this
year and century will continue to main
tain its high position among leading
newspapers of the country, aud will, as it
has been in the past, be the foremost
paper in the Western Pennsylvania. The
news of the world will be found in the
Dispatch every morning; special corres-
pondents and alliances with other papers
providing the means to cove. every news
source in the universe
The Sunday edition of the Dispatch is
conceded to be the leader of its class in
its line; With special articles by the
foremost writers, illustrations that are
appropriate and well executed, together
with the latest ideas in typography, it is
undoubtedly the journal for excellence.
The large and rapidly increasing circula-
ton is evidence that il is what it claims
to be.
The Home Study Circle. which has
been feature of the daily Dispatch for
several years, has been succeeded by the
Current Topic Club. 1t is worthy sue
cessor ofthe Home Study Circle and is
the best feature of its kind in journalism
of to-day. Leading men and women of
letters, art, science and business will
contribute to this department of The Dis
patch, which will be more popular than
was the Home Study Circle with its
wealth of information.
In all departments The Dispatch is
complete; nothing being left uncovered,
and so popular is it that in thousands of
homes to speak of ofnewspapers is to think
Of The Dispatch.

Letter to n. G. Cole.
Nebraska, Pa.

Dear sir: You know your painter; we
don't; we only know painters in general.
There are two sorts, as there are two
sorts of everybody else. One paints as
well as he cali; the other as poor as he
can and get business.
The one who paints as well as he can is
all the time learning: the other one
knows it all now.
Josh Billings says "it's better not TO
know too much than to know so many
things that amt So" There are lots o.
things in paint that "a'n't so." Lead and
oil is one of 'em.
Devoe lead and zinc lasts twice as long;
is better in every respect; is ready to din
the brush in; you can depend on the
colors; no mystery; no uncertainty ;
costs no more; costs less.
We hope you employ Mr.. Open-Mi
Painter, and not Mr.. Know-it-all.now.

LET us look back and consider what
we would have been-what would have
become of this country-if policies advo-
Gated by the Decorate party during the
last thirty years had bnen adopted! The
nation would have been dismembered.
lfthal had been escaped, by favoring
wild and chimerical financial policies we
would have been bankrupt. If we had
cast aside chances for territorial agran-
dizement which came to US, not by our
own seeking, but by force of circum-
stances we did not control, we should
have failed to attain the osition among
the nations of the world that now is pos
sessed. Look back and see where the
adoption of Democratic policy would
have led us. Look where we stand to-
day.-Aibany Journal

THE insane King Otto, of Bavaria, hav-
ing developed a wild, uncomfortable de-
sire to kill off a few people each day, his
attendants have adopted plan whereby
to humor him. The bloodthirsty King is
placed at window of the castle and given
gun loaded with blank cartridges.
Pea ants are hired to pass near the win
dow and are instructed to fall as if shot
when they hear the report of a gun. The
King fires. the peasant falls and Otto
goes wild with delight. In this way he
disposes of fifteen or twenty peasants
daily. The supposed victims are paid
weekly wages. This is realistic, but
still harmless way of humoring the
Kingly fancy, but if it should happen
that mistake be maae some time, ard a
gun loaded with a sure-enough cartridge
be given His Majesty, the joke, of course,
would be on the peasant.-Blizzard.

supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,

AN important decision has Just been
handed down by the Supreme Court OF
this State. We refer to the case of the
City of New Castle against F. W. Cutler.
The question involved was the liability OF
the defendant for fine under the city
ordinance for selling groceries without a
license. Mr.. Cutler claimed that he was
agent for an Ohio concern, denied the le-
gality of the ordinance and raised a
question of Interstate commerce law.
The court Of common pleas from which
the case was carried, decided against Mr..
Cutler, and the Superior Court reaf1irmed
the decision Of the lower court. An ap-
peal was taken to the Supreme Court and
the finding OF the lower courts has been
finally upheld. The effect of the decision
will be to protect home dealers against
itinerant agents from other States taking
orders in towns where local dealers are
protected by license ordinances Titus

A BILL which has passed one branch of

Sunday fishing. If this bill becomes a
law there ought to be no hindrance to
Sunday hunting, the opening of race
courses, base ball grounds, beer saloons,
etc., on the Sabbath day. Some people
who pretend to think it's awful to pass

legislation favorable to Sabbath lawless-
ness, the permitting of pool selling and
gambling at country fairs, &c. But that's
