lady came along, and started in
the gate.
The widow addressed the lady,
who replied by saying, Good ev-
ening."
The voice of the lady sounded
very familiar to the widow, who
proceeded at once to make a grab
for the lady's hat, which she re-
moved, tore off the veil and found
attired in female clothes her dear
doctor, trigged up in the latest
style on his way to visit the other
lady, as had been reported to the
widow by her friends.
After making the discovery the
widow remarked she knew some
body had been lying to her, and
now she knew who the liar was,
and walked home and reported
her discovery.
We understand the doctor is
now seeking a new location.
We submit that nothing of this
kind ever happened in Sisters
vile. If Judge Willis wants us
to be good here we think he ought
to begin in our neighbor town
first and reform If before bepin-
ming here, where our people are
angels compared with the above
mentioned doctors actions.
The above story is said to be
true, and we only suppress tho
names of the parties as the doc
tors parents are highly respected
people.

ney brought out orchestral parts
with fine effect.
The delicacy of tone in her rem
dition of the Alabieff-Liszt
"Nightingale' was delightful.
In the B Minor Prelude by
Chopin, and the Chopin Nocturne
in c. Minor much talent was dem
onStrated.
Then the wonderful Appassion-
alta of Beethoven; Miss Gaffney's S
fine phrasing and broadness OF
tone was tested to the uttermost
in this, as well as her wonderful
power of concentration.
The Prelude Opus 10, by Mac
Dowell, vast most exqulsltely
given, and the last number,
Grieg's Ballade Opus "a, was one
of the most magnificent pictures
of the program. In this number
especially did Miss Gaffney show
her versatility of mood from the
most tender and delicate singing
tone to the broadest bravoura.
Miss Gaffney is a fair example
of what can be accomplished by
the correct technical methods.

He seemed so confident of this
that he asked the girl where she
would go if he was killed. She
stated that she had a sister in
Marietta, and would go there.
They entered the tent, and had
been there but a short time when
the bolt of lightning struck the
tent pole and the life of Mr.. Tul-
Illus was ended and the girl was
picked up in a rather serious con-
dition.
1t seems that supernatural
warning was given the young
man, but in such form that other
than feeling that some accident
would befall him while in the city,
he knew nothing as to what il
would be.

Talk about sin, vice and i'm
morality in Sistersville, we have
to take a back seat in this line
when we come to compare notes
with our neighbor town, as the
following story will show:
At Eour highly moral neighbor
town there is certain dentist we
believe by profession, who is a
grass widower or a divorced hus-
band. He has been divorced
some three or four years, and for
some time has been paying his at
tention to a widow who moved
to New Martinsville from a GER
tain town in Pennsylvania. The
widow was told by some of her
kind but meddling neighbors
that her dear doctor was in the
habit of visiting another lady who
had the reputation of being of
easy virtue. The widow had her
lady friends to stand guard and
report the visits of her devoted
doctor: they would report his
visit and the doctor would deny
the stories so well the widow did
not know who to believe, but
Saturday night she went on picket
duty herself. In order to reach
the fair damsel's S mansion the doe
tor had 90 through a gate and
up a broad and beautiful lawn to
reach her home. Saturday night
the widow stationed herself by
the gate and presently another

Republican Party All Right.
fPittsburg Gazette.l


There is such a vast difference
between the Philadelphia views of
the political squabble in that city
and the cross-eyed view of our
Democratic contemporaries in
Pittsburgh that we cannot help not
ing the discrepancy. According to
the Pittsburgh view the eruption
in Philadelphia has condemned the
Republican party there and
throughout the state. The Phila-
delphia Record, leading Demo-
cratic newspaper in the state, rabid
supporter of Mayor Weaver and
antagonist of Republican policies,
discusses the Philadelphia situation
in these words: The civil revolu-
ton has replaced the machine not
by non-partisan government, but
by government of Republicans,
which is an essentially different
thing. Mayor Weaver and the
heads of departments and their as
sistants are all Republicans and
Protectionists of the strictest
school. But they are honest and
public spirited men courageously
enforcing the laws for the welfare
of the whole community, and that
is the sole consideration.
This is so different from the die
tum of the Pittsburgh organs that
one might think it referred to a
different case were it not for the
particular mention of names and
Incidents. The Record is highly
partisan in the Philadelphia mix
up and cannot be accused of excess
friendship to anything under the
name republican. Nevertheless its
conscience does not permit it to
claim for the Democracy the credit
for what it terms the "civic revolu-
ton" What has been accom-
plished, it says, has been done 'by
a government of Republicans" "
What has been done in Phila-
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1905-09-14

delphia may be more accurately
measured in the final results. 1t
will appear in the conclusion, when
all the evidence is in, whether the
eruption has been wholly for the
public good, and, if not, what pro-
portion has been engineered for
selfish factional advantage. Until
that time it is chiefly matter for
Philadelphians to consider and to
quarrel over if nothing less can
content them. To the state at
large it is of general interest only,
and the state at large can afford to
suspend judgment until the evil
dence has been sifted.
In any event the Philadelphia
broil has no bearing on the state
campaign. There is no connection
between the two. The Republican
party of Pennsylvania has nomi-
mated ticket for the suffrage of
the people on a platform of sound
principles. That ticket will be
supported by every voter who de-
sires to indorse Republican policies
and elect Republican candidates.
The ticket is good one, contain
ing the names of men worthy of
public confidence and party sup
port, from first to last. No Demo-
cratic support is asked for any part
of that ticket and no Democratic
support will be accepted as tender
for Republican support of any
Democratic candidate.
