received. The Worlds Fair Grounds
cover over 1900 acres, being more than
twice as large as those of the Worlds

Only few days left in which to take
advantage of this great opportunity.

A Surprise Party.


On Saturday, October 20, Mr.. and
Mrs E. Newton Christy were very much
surprised when over one hundred rela-
tiyes with few other friends Assem- bled
at their home near Greece City. 1t was
Mrs. Christy's sixtieth birthday and
was also intended to celebrate their
fortieth wedding anniversary which oc-
cured few weeks earlier A fine din
ner was served on long tables set in
dining room and kitchen. after which
we were entertained by short, spicy,
and enjoyable talks by the following
persons: Rev. w. III. Sloan, Hon J. D.
Mel unkin, Walker Christy, Elliott
Robb, Christy Robb, Prof Howard
Painter, Harvey Cnristy and closed with
prayer by. Rev. Sloan.
The company ranged in age frora the
dear old lady of over eighty-six years
down to the little child Of only a few
months.
Every one present seemed to thorough
ly enjoy the day.
These lirtle pauses from our usual
daily employment surely make lire
brighter and better. ONE PRESENT.

Honorable Poverty.

There is testimony to a life of scrupu
lous honor in the news that the late
Robert E. Pattison, after Lifetime
spent in the discharge of public and pri
vate trusts, died poor man. lt IL an
nounced that the property he left Is In
numbered, and committee OF proml
nent Philadelphians has opened a sub
scription to discharge the indebtedness
and preserve the property for his faml
ly.
That Governor Pattison could in tn,
positions which he beld haye accrued
great wealth if he had been willing tt
subordinate his integrity TO the dictates
of acquisitiveness is beyond dispute
That he did not do so may be exception
al to the professional politics of Penn
sylvania; but that fact makes the excep
ton no less to his credit 1t is also tru
that in the positions which he held h
could have laid up fair competence
with strict integrity. 1t is stated tha
he had done SO but this credit was 1nvoiv
ed by others whom he trusted, and n
was endeavoring to discharge the bur
den put on him by the errors OF other
when death overlook him.
The proposed subscription is certalnl:
the most modest and tangible recognl
tion that Philadelphia can make OF 1T

DISPATCHES from Wyoming day OF
two ago. told how a flock Of $500 sheer
had been driven over precipice and
killed by band Of cowboys, and added
that this was merely an incident in the
constant struggle between the ''cattle
men" and the sheep men," and that
the general public would do nothing but
''stand back and let the two big inter
ests fight the matter out"
It seems to be true. as the people OF
the grazing country declare. that sheer
cannot be herded on the same ground
but, surely. there should be some better
way of adjusting their owners differen
ces than by letting them destroy each
others property at will. That simply
amounts to state of war. and the fact
that it is confined to a single common
wealth does not lessen the gravity oi
tie otfense, while it detrects materially
from the dignity Of the commonwealth
which permits ii to continue.

A New Steel-Frame Car.

The Standard Steel Car CO., at its
works here has about completed an all
steel postal car, built on strictly Master
Car Builders standards, and designed
to suit modern railroad conditions and
furthermore to give to the life of the
postal clerks and the mails in the cars
greater protection than has ever been
enioyed before. Tt is an axiom in rail
road operation that the postal cars are
the surest marks for serious damage in
case of a wreck, and the killing or
manning of clerks with the destruction
by fire or otherwise, of the mails, is re-
ported with great frequency. 1t is 10
overcome these conditions that the new
cars have been designed, and the rail
road postal representatives who have
been acquainted with the work at Bat
ler are greatly Impressed with the re-
Suits
The plans of the Standard company
do not stop with the building of POSTAL
cars alone. Baggage and express cars,
which are liable to the same rough us
age between engines and heavy Pull
mans, are as easily constructed, and II
is considered but matter of detail and
a little time until day coaches are built
all-steel quite as regularly as freight
cars are at present
From the steel freight car to the
high-speed steel passenger car is an evo-
luton in which the same men who are
pioneers in steel freight car building
have led As the steel freight car has
proved itself practically iDdestructible
by fire and wreck. so the steel passenger
train is expected to turn out.
The steel passenger equipment has tue
advantage of the freight car, having
preceded it and taught the railroad
shops the methods adapted TO the hand
ling of steel equipment in case of minor
damage. The need of cars of this kind
has been apparent to railroad manage
ments and the general public for long
time The construction of the cars now
building at Butler is such that there Is
really little experiment in them. Cars
are now being built here for several of
the leading trunk lines the Erie and
the New York, New Haven 81 Hartford
leading in the demand for them. The
first car to be sent out into actual
service will go to the Erie in less than
two weeks. complete in every particular
1t is 63 feet long, and in outside appear
ance bears very close resemblance to
the regular mail cars, but it is Of all
metal construction sand will stand far
more shock and strain than any wooden
body could.
