Wrong Again.

The political editor of the Indepen.
dent has not been sleeping since he
dreamed that the poor tax-papers are
liable for the costs connected with the
election contest in this county. We
thought every school boy knew better,
yet the wonderful wise and never-go-
wrong chap of the Independent would
like to fool his poor followers with such
stuff. Anything to fool the people ap-
pears to be the plan of the combine.
Should we be liable for the costs could

At Olivedale, Mexican county, on
December 23d, Mrs. Edward Burdick,
| aged 20, in order to defend her honor,
shot and instantly killed John Ryan.
1t appears that Ryan who was in a
| semi-intoxicated condition attempted to
commit an outrageous assault on the
woman, when she fired the fatal shot
Coroner Hall, of Bradford, visited the
scene of the tragedy and empaneled a
jury, who on hearing the testimony of
several persons, brought in a verdict to
the effect that Mrs. Burdick was iustifi-
ed in killing the man. Ryan was 30
years of age and had been employed
in that vicinity.

Supports the Curfew Law.

FROM the Christian World and Evan.
gelist:
1t will probably surprise many of our
readers to know that fully three thous-
and cities, towns and villages in the
various states of the American Union
now have curfew law. Many ofthem
where it is enjoyed report a decrease
in the arrests and commitment of
youth to the station houses, iails and
reform schools of 90 to so per cent
President Hoagland, of the National
Curfew Association, who gives these
facts in the Church Economist, states
that in some localities the curfew law,
which obliges the young to be off the
streets at 0 O'Clock in the evening, has
increased the attendance in the Sabbath
schools and most notably that of the
boys. We are also told that some
months after the adoption of the ordi.
nance at Lincoln Neb., the city council
there endorsed a resolution commend.
ng the ordinance to the officials through
out the country generally and statingat
the same time that there had been under
the curfew decrease in the commit.
ments of youths to station houses, jails
and reform schools of eighty per cent
In this view of the matter the curfew
law seems to be salutary and benef
cient, although its enforcement in large
cities would probably not be practi.

HAMILTON,

The death of Mrs. ELANoRE HAMIL-
TON, Saturday, January 3rd, at her late
Lome on East Fourth ST., from acute
pneumonia, came as sad surprise to
many of our citizens. Her sickness was
of only a few days duration and though
every effort was made to stay the pro-
gress of the subtle malady, her extreme
age, 7S years, rendered them unavail-
ing. Mrs. Hamilton was born in Rex
vile, Stuben County, N. Y. Thirty five
years ago she removed to Emporium,
where she has since resided. She is
survived by four children all of whom
came: Mrs. S. a. Harris, Buffalo; Mrs
r. w. Lewis, Patton, Pa; Mrs. G. II.
Horner, Glade Run, Pa; and Mrs
George Seaver, of town. Mrs. Hamil-
ton was person of unbending integ-
rity. She was possessed of high sense
Of honor and honesty as between
neighbor and neighbor and ever sought
to observe the spirit and practice ofthe
golden rule in her relation to those
about her. She was thoroughly un-
selfish, seeking to promote, not SO
much the ends of her own comfort
and ease as that of others.
She was true and devoted mother,
ever desirous that her children should
do right and to that end faithfully en-
ploying all her energies.
Accepting and trusting in Christ as
her Savior, she died in the comfort
hope and peace of the gospel.
Funeral services were held at her
late home last Tuesday afternoon, her
pastor the Rev. o. S. Metzler ofIiciat-
ing. There was a large attendance.
Interment was made in Newton Gene
terry.

Both branches OF our national legisla-

refused TO recall the stevens inheritance

measures, which imports tax of per

10000. The minority desired to have the
DILL recalled simply that its members
might have the opportunity to have their
votes recorded on tho measure. whereas
It had been passed without objection; and
the majority did not see 1T TO allow this
