shall be no more rain tonight, but
the boys say they were mistaken fol-
1t did rain Saturday night.

The doctors WAC attended Presi.
dent Mckinley, after he was shot
at Buffalo, are to get$45 900 for their
services. The shooting occurred on
the 9th of September and the Presi'
dent died on September ID. The
doctors were therefore In attend
ance eight days-that Is to say,
so me of them were, and some OF
them were not more than half that
time. This would be paying them
at the rate of S5.625 day. Presi-
dent Garfield was snot on July 2,
1881, and died September 10, 1881,
after surviving 81 days. For their
services In his case the physicians
were paid $27,5oo, or at the rate of
$343 IS a day To state 1t more
plainly, the Mckinley doctors will
receive for eight days services just
ten times as much as the
Garfield physicians were paid for
so days, or ten times as long.
Possibly the eminent medical
gentlemen may entertain ex-
apserated ideas as to the difference
III the cost of living, then and now,
but their charges prove conclusive
~ that there has been decided
upward movement In the cost OF
dying. Of course the occurrences
are rare In which the doctors are
afforded an opportunity for adver.
Using themselves by attending an
assassinated President, but the In.
frequence of these events would
hardly seem to justify the display
of such a peculiar brand of patriot
ism as is demonstrated In the action
of the medical men In soaking"
the Government so numerically
for attending the distinguished
patients.

The latest pension enactment,
passed by Congress just before ad-
journment provides for the removal
of the restrictions against persons
who had fought against their will
on the Confederate side, but de-
serted and joined the Union army.
This may not appeal strongly to
patriotism, but 1t opens bran new
field for the pension agents.

The Philadelphia L -dger say

The Philadelphia Ledger says:
"Thomas Martinsdale, a promi-
nent business man of this city, and
an extensive dealer In groceries
and provisions, stated In a public
address, made by him last week,
that during the last ten years the
cost of the necessaries of life has
Increased 40 per cent. while the In
crease In wages during the same
period has been only one per cent"
Mr.. Martindale, who was formerly
q resident of OIL City,is close STU
dent of events, and he would not
have made such an assertion unless
he had thoroughly investigated it..
