Senator R. L. Taylor
Is Coming Saturday
The Distinguished Southerner
Will be Introduced by Hon.
R. H. Loilgwell.

Senator Robert L. Taylor, OF Tennes-
see, failed to keep his engagement to
lecture in Reynoldsville last night, but
will appear Saturday evening, March
10Th. Reserved seats for the lecture
will be put on sale Thursday morning,
March 18th, at the Stoke & Feicht
Drug Co. store.
Hon. Robert a. Longwell, of Brock
wayville, representative in the General
General Assembly from Jefferson coun-
ty, will introduce Senator Taylor to
the audience Saturday night.
While the date selected Is not con-
venient for many patrons, 1t is unavoid-
able. The management of the local
course is at the mercy OF the bureau
controlling Taylor's dates and it was
found impossible to secure the dis
tingushed statesman at any other time.
AS the best number of the seasons
course, Senator Taylor will doubtless
be greeted by packed hall. Punxsu-
tawney, Brookville and Brockwayville
will probably be represented in the
audience, as we'll as the nearer towns.
AS a statesman, musician, humorist
and man of letters Senator Taylor is
equally distinguished and he has been
listened to with pleasure by thousands
in every section of the United States.
Reynoldsville is fortunate In having
the opportunity to hear him, even on
q Saturday night.

THE BLAW COLLAPSIBLE STEEL CEN
TERING COMPANY.
The first obj CT of the trip was to in
spect the operations at the 'steel plant"
and by the visit attest the good will
which the people of Reynoldsville bear
to its new owners, the Blaw Coilspsible
Steel Centering Company. The dele
CATION was met at the office by Super
intendent p S. Hursh and @. d. Mac
Arthur. chief engineer, and conducted
by the former through the various de.
partments of the plant. Mr. Hursh
explained every operation necessary to
prepare and assemble the manv parts
used In the manufacture OF the big steel
centers and had every machine in the
plant in operation, giving practical
demonstration tf their use From the
ware house to the dynamo room the
visitors saw ceaseless activity Though
this company acquired the plant but
little over FIVE weeks ago, they have
completely transformed il and have
fulfilled their promises in every essen
tial way.
New machinery has been installed
but owing to the necessity for haste in
rushing out one of their contracts, the
superintendent has not taken the time
to connect 1t up. Other new equipment
will shortly arrive and the operations
OF the company, now divided between
Rankin and Reynoldsville, will in six
months time be centered at Reynolds
vile, and the number of employees will
gradually mount to the three hundred
mark.
Since commencing operations the
company has expressed itself as satis-
fed in every respect with the conditions
found here.
The visitors appreciated the courteous
welcome given by Messrs. Hursh and
Mac Arthur in behalf of the company
and they left with a truer idea OF the
real importance of the new industry
and of the bearing it will have on the
future prosperity of Reyuodsville.

On the last page this week will b
found an important new ordinance,
passed finally at an adjourned meeting
OF council Monday evening, regulating
the manner In which the public streets
may be torn up to lay pipes, make re-

While complete report has not vet
been made, it is known that over one
hundred new paid members we're en-
Folled and the work has not been COM
pleted. Everybody seemed willing to
contribute one dollar a year to help
hlong work for industrial improvement
and the list includes many who are not
business men in the strict sense Of the
term. In fact the name OF the Asso-
piation is a misnomer. AS was once
Bugg ested, it is really a big "citizen's
blub," and II plans now being discussed
hre carried out, it will soon have larger
quarters, fitted up for the use of all
members as a club room, and be kept
bpen day and night. Such rooms are
maintained by the business men of
many other towns and afford place
for making engagements of business
nature for which there is a distinct
heed in Reynoldsuille.
The demand for establishing a social
department in the Association, distinct
from the industrial work, was accent
hated Thursday when the orchestra

musicians, joined the Association in

A Puzzled Author.

The San Francisco Argonaut tells ar
amusing story about Alphonse Daudet
When be brought out "Sappho," an Amer
loan publishing house that issues religioul
books, not knowing its character, offered
NJ. Daudet a large SUI for advance sheets
Of the work. He accepted the offer, and
the advance sheets were sent. When the
publishers received them, they decided tina,
they could not issue the book, and they
cabled to the author, "'Sappho' will not
do This dispatch puzzled Daudet. HI
consulted with numbers Of friends, and
this was the conclusion at which they
eventually arrived: "sappho" in French
ia spelled with one "p"-"Sapho," after
the Greek fashion. In English 1t Is spelled
with two. An unusually acute friend
pointed this out to Daudet, which much
relieved the novelist, and he cabled bach
to the publishers, "Spell 1t with two p's.'
It is needless to state that the publishers
we're moro astonished at Daudet's reply
than be had been at their cable dispatch.

"My first assignment" said an old ~

assignment. In this there was something
to write about.

sheet of ship news and containing, IN two
lines of writing, information that two In
borers had been washed overheard from
the barge So-and-so, laden with ore, com

of the story. The names Of the oonsignoes

was aboard, and so were the surviving
members of the little party Of laborerS
who had started up the bay in her, n so
the whole story was right there. I sat on
the strjngpiece Of tho wharf and talked
with the captain Of the boat. He told the
story with entire willingness. Of course
there was no reason why he shouldn't, and
then T went back to the office and wrote
