Death of M. L. Boss.
Wednesday morning, May 25, 1881,
at 7:45 o'clock, Matthew Lowry Ross,
an old citizen of this place, passed
from the scenes of this life as peace
fully as a child to sleep. For several
months he lias been ailing, and finally
became so weak that he was unable to
earry the mail. He kept around, and
at times walked out. Week before
last he was in The Advocate office.
Monday evening we called on him as
he lay on the outside of the bed where
he was resting. He turned from the
wall, shook hands, and talked a few
minutes. It was evident however,
that dissolution was near ut hand.
Wednesday morning a few minutes
before he died he stood up supported
by Robt. Campbell, Doctor Fullurton
and H. H. Wensel. He sat down on
the side of the bed, fell forward on
Doctor Fullertou'a breast, when he
was laid back on the bed. Mrs. Ross
spoke to him, "Lowrle, Lowrie. can't
you speak to iue," to which he re
pie, "I want to see where we are," and
expired without a struggle while en
deavoring to speak farther, his words
being unintelligible. Born at Easton,
Pa., Feb. 1812, be had almost readied
the allotted span. He has been a resi
dent of Rldgway since about 1837.
Married in 1840 he brought his wife
herein 1843. He has filled many oflicial
positions, having been Justice of the
Peace, postmaster under Buchanan,
court crier for about thirty years, mail
carrier lor thirteen years. Of a quiet
disposition, at all times gentlemanly
aud unobtrusive, he had no enemies.
In his earlier years lie was consider
able of a local politician, and his fund
of political reminiscences was Interest
ing as he related them. A great
reader he kept fully posted on the
current events of the political world,
and was good authority on statistical
poiuU relating to politics and public
men. Joining the unnumbered hosts
of the great majority he has passed to
that silent country Peace, peaotf Us

nothing of the wheat brau used to
discourage the worms, and the salt to
make the heads harden.

WHY IT WILL NEVER DO TO CALL
THEM FOK A VERY BICK MAN.
Peck's Sun.
A St. Louis doctor factory recently
turned out a dozen female doctors. As
long as the female doctors were con
fined to one or twd in the whole coun
try,and those were only experimental,
we held our peace, and did not com
plain; but now that the colleges are
engaged in producing female doctors
as a business, we must protest, and in
so doing will give a few reasons Why
female doctors will not prove a pay
ing branch of Industry.
In the first place, if they doctor any
body it must be a woman, and three
fourths of the women would
rather have a male doctor. Suppose
those colleges turu out female doctors
until there are as many or them as
there are male doctors.what have they
got to practice on? A man, if there
was nothing the matter with him,
might call in a female doctor, but if
he was sick as a horse (if a man is
sick he is sick as a horse), the last
thing he would have around would be
a female doctor. And why? Because,
when a man has a female fumbling
around him he wants to feel well. He
don't want to be bilious or feverish,
with his mouth tasting like cheese1,
tuid his eyes bloodshot, when the fe
male is looking him over and taking
account of stock.
Of course, these female doctors are
all young and good-looking, and if
one of them came into a sick-room
where a man was in bed, and he had
chills, aud was as cold as a wedge,
aud she should set up close to the Bide
of the bed and take hold of his baud,
his pulse would run up to a hundred
and fifty, and she would prescribe for
a fever when he had chilblanes. Oh,
you cau't fool us on female doctors. A
man who has been sick aud had male
doctors, knows just how mu:h he
would like to have a female doctor
come tripping in and throw her fur
lined cloak over a chair take ofT her
hat and gloves and throw them on a
lounge, and come up to the bed with
a pair of marine blue eyes, with a
twinkle in the corner, and look him
in the wild, changeable eyes, and ask
him to run out his tongue. Suppose
he knew his tongue was coated so it
looked like a yellow Turkish towel,
do you suppose he would want to run
over five or six inches of the lower
part of it and let that female doctor
put her finger on it to see how fur it
was? Not. much. He would put that
tongue up into his cheek, aud
wouldn't let her see it for twenty-five
cents admissiou. We have all seen
doctors put their hands under the bed
clothes and feel of a man's feet to see
if they were cold. If a female doctor
should do that it would give a man
cramps in the legs. A male doctor
can put his hand on a man's stomach,
and liver and lungs, and ask him if he
feelsjany pain there, but if a female
doctor should do the same thing it
would make a man sick, aud he would
want to get up aud kick himself for
employing a female doctor. Oh, there
is uo use talking it would kill a man.
Now, suppose a man has heart dis
ease and a female doctor should want
to listen to the beating of his heart.
She would lay her left ear on his left
breast so her eyes aud rosebud mouth
would be looking right iu his face and
her wavy hair would be scattered all
around there getting tangled in the
buttons of his nightshirt. Don't you
suppose bis heart would get in about
twenty extra beats to the minute?
You bet! And she would smile we
will bet ten dollars she would smile
and show her pearly teeth, aud the
ripe lips would be working as though
she were counting the beats, aud he
would think she was tryiug to whis
per to him, aud . Well, what
would he be doing all this time? If
he was not dead yet, which would be
a wouder, his left hand would brush
the bair away from ber temple and
kind of stay there to keep the hair
away, and bis right hand would get
sort of nervous and move around to
the back of her head, and when she
had counted the beats a few minutes
and was raising ber head he would
draw her head up to him aud kiss her
once for luck, if be was as bilious as a
Jersey swamp angel, and have her
charge it iu the bill. And then a re
action would set in and he would be as
weak as a cat, and she would have to
fan him and rub his head till he got
over being nervous, and then make
out his prescription after he got to
sleep. No; all of a man's symptoms
change when a female physician is
practicing on him, aud she would kill
him dead.

Drunken Loafers.
There are a net of men who live in
Rldgway Borough, and other mem
bers of their kind may be found in
other towns throughout the State of
Pennsylvania. These things dressed
in the attire of man, filled with the
article known as whiskey, and swag
gering along the public thoroughfares
insult women, abuse men, and
terrorize children. Their mad antics
are not confined to the liight but in
daylight they prowl and brag, swag
ger and blaspheme to the disgust and
annoyance of all decent people. A
little plain lauguage may do this class
a "powerful sight" of good, there
fore we propose to be plain. Whoso
ever the shoe may fit We hbpe will
put It on and wear it. On several oc
casions that have come to our personal
knowledge these drunken loafers, and
dirty blackguards, have beeu guilty
of insulting women, at night-time
and in broad daylight. Not only by
their foul-mouthed and loathesome
speeches, but by actually laying their
hands on ladies passing along the
street. So many times has this been
done that now the evil has become a
crying one, and we propose at this
time to cry, halt! in the name of the
community. You dirty wretch stand
up and hear your sentence; "That
you be despised by all women and
hated by all men." To become more
pointed the drunken ruffian who
assaulted a lady between the Thayer
House and Chas. Kline's residence on
Tuesday night about half-past seven
o'clock, will hear of something to his
advantage if his indentity can be es
tablished. The meu of Ridgway
should hasten to mete out with
a liberal hand merited punishment
on these drunken, dirty loafers who
are guilty of these outrages. You
miserable sneaking cur- read this and
let your miserable soul sink to your
rotten feet, and perish in the filth as
you deserve to. Any case that comes
to our hands where the name of the
party is known will be written up
in colors that will ueed no shading.
Before buying your wearing ap
parel for the Spring and Summer give
us a call for we are sure that we can
save you from 5 to 15 per cent, on
every dollar's worth of goods you pur
chase from us.

Hair Vtgo?,
fOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is a not agreeable dressing, which
Is at once harmless and effectual, for pre
serving the hair. It restores,, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, m may be desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldness often
though not always cured. It checks falling
of the hair immediately, and causes a new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brushy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The Vioon cleanses the scalp, cures anf
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of tlio
humors aud diseases peculiar to tlio scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp aud
hair are impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair,
The Viaon Is incomparable. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambric. It imparts au
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed iu its excellence.
