The Peoples Oil Mill.

The directors of the PeOpl es Oil
Mill and Fertilizer Works held their
annual meeting Tuesday afternoon,
and declared a dividend of five
per cent. payable September 1,
after disposal of all the products of
the seasons crush. This dividend
is in addition to several thousand
dollars that has been expended dur
ing this and last year which goes
to the account of permanent i'm
provements, and would otherwise
have been much larger
An expert and bonded account
ant had made a thorough examina-
ton OF the Company's books and
affairs, who verified the report of
Manager L. NJ. Porter, and stated
that this was one of few oil mills
that had passed through the panic
of last winter with a good margin
of profit. Many others had lost in
various amounts on the season s
business.
This institution will enter the APP
preaching season under the most
favorable auspices and fattering
prospects for renumerative business.
Connections for purchasing seed
have been widely extended and the
Improvements that required outlay
of cash this year are of a permanent
charter and of course will not again
curtail the revenues. A cash divi-
dend of ten per cent or more at this
time next year may be confidently
expected.

When the inventor vas a girl, fifty
five or sixty years ago, in Munich, she
went to one OF those schools where
German girls are taught to do, as her
daughter says, "everything NIT the
hands," It was having to make
wreaths out Of beads that suggested
to her the notion of making bead
Christmas trees. She set to work and
fashioned innumerable tiny loops Of
green beads, each at the end Of a long,
slender wire. She bound the loops to-
gether in threes, making trefoils, and
the trefoils into branches and the
branches into a tapering trunk, the
trunk being formed of nothing at all
but the individual wires massed to-
gether. Then she trimmed the tree
with candles and those tiny axe fig
ures which the Germans are adopts at
making and fixed it in a pot Of sand
and melted wax. Her parents were
quite proud of it. Her father, who
was director of the Hofgarten in Mu-
mich, showed it to his royal master,
and King Ludwig Immediately ordered
one for the Christmas festivities at
court.
After coming to this country she sent
one to President Roosevelt and was
gr1eved and surprised to find that he
could not accept it.
II expect he thinks he gets some dy-
namite," said the daughter.-New York

Oriain Of the Christmas Tree

There is a legend in Germany that
when Eve plucked the fatal apple i'm
mediately the leaves of the tree shriv-
eled into needle points and its bright
green turned dark. 1t changed its ma
ture and became the evergreen, in all
seasons preaching the story of mans
fall. Only on Christmas does it bloom
brightly with lights and become beau
tiful with love gifts. The curse is turn
ed into a blessing at the coming Of
the Christ Child, and we have our
Christmas tree.

Fortune For Toys For the Poor.

Fortune For Toys For the Poor.
The poor children of Pittsburg and
Allegheny are to benefit through the
expenditure of an estate valued at
$4,000, left by the late George B..
Mutt. The will provides that the es-
tate shall go to the wife during her
lifetime and then is to be divided
among his children equally. If the
children all die before their mother, at
her death the estate is to be spent for
the purchase Of gifts and playthings
for poor children, especially those in
institutions. 1t was the wish of the
decedent that the money be expended
in small sums, to distribute it over as
large an area as possible and benefit
as many children as possible.

THIRTY CENT HUSBAND
Gotten Rid of In Thirty Minutes BY
the Countess of Yarmouth.
Settlement Made.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald
London, Feb. 5.-After a thirty min
utes' hearing this afternoon the mar
riage of the Earl of Yarmouth and
the countess, formerly Miss Alice
Thaw of Pittsburg, Pa, was annulled.
Three witnesses were heard for the
countess. The earl made no defense
and was not present at the hearing.
1t is given out on good authority that
| the countess settled one-third of her
fortune on the earl as divorce agree
ment
Under the decree granting divorce
the countess will not be permitted to
retain the name of the count, but
must resume her maiden name Both
parties to the suit are at liberty to
remarry, if they so desire. 1t is re
ported that the countess in her claim
for divorce alleged that her husband
was not only physically unfit for mat
rimony, but that he was married at
the time he married her.
