Personally Furnishes Pious, But
Pilfering Employees, and Passes
Up Prosecution.

Pittsburg, Feb. 14.-Alexander
Peacock, perhaps the most unique OF
Andrew Carnegie's thirty young
partners" has again astounded Pitts
burg by the unexpected. Finding
that two Of his employees, one of them
prominent as church member, had
squandered about $3.50, of his
money; part Of it being spent in en-
tertaining chorus girls, he locked
himself in a room with each OF the
erring employees, one at time, beat
them soundly with his fists and then
chased them from his office, declin-
ing to prosecute.
Before personally chastising them,
however, Mr.. Peacock, who is still
worth $l5, 600, 600, made the employees
sign over 10 him all the real estate,
ETC., that they owned.
There was an amusing finale to the
affair when the battered employees
consulted an attorney seeking to en-
ter suit against Peacock for assault
and battery. When the attorney hae
heard all the facts he, too, hit the re
cent Peacock employee in the face to-
taking up his time.

president Eliot and a hundred
lesser lights are doing their best to
blast away the Rock of Ages" de-
clared Judge Tillman with emphasis,
with their new religion and higher
criticism, they are invading the
strongholds of genuine religion with
a propaganda that is nothing short OF
heresy. Even in the University of
Chicago, an institution founded with
Baptist money, heresy and higher
criticism are rampant, and through
out the east there is little genuine re-
ligion to the square inch. In the
west, however, there is as yet little
detriment caused by these new doc.
trines, and in the south, thank God,
they have not not disturbed the great
fundamentals of true Christian relig
ion"

Franklin, Pa, Feb.-"Be farmer
and snap your fingers at the monopo-
lists" said o. C. Siggsworth, Ven
ango county farmer, "but if you must
live in the city, then buy your apples
when they are at rock-bottom prices
and make apple butter Lay in fifty
quarts of tomatoes when they are SO
cents peck and preserve them.
81 take issue with those who say
things cost more than they used to, "
he continued. 'Tn 1872 paid 81 for
four pounds of green coffee, II IL
cents a pound for sugar, Is cents
pound for prunes and Is cents a
pound for rice.
81 paid So for a hat | could buy
now for 81, SO for gloves that | could
duplicate now for $3.50, 40 cents a
yard for checking for shirts, $40 for
wedding boots and IS for an ordinary
pair of shoes. The wage-earner is
hampered by credit. He goes into
debt for two weeks and his money
has to be paid out the day he gets it.
II would be better for him to GO
hungry for two weeks than never to
have any money ahead.
my advice to those who don't like
life on farm is, Drop style, pay
your debts, buy for cash and look
ahead"
