Three small girls Worked a money- gettlng-schome on a number of families on Grant and Hill streets Sunday after noon that must have been concocted by older heads, as the meanness would hardly be conceived by such youngBters.

The first number of the publle achoo lecture course for 1902-03 was given in Assembly hall last Wednesday evening by Gen. Z. T.

His subject was The Goldon Age," and it was full of umor, wit, pathos and eloquence Mr. Sweeney has the happy faculty of com bining the instructive with the enter taining, and for one hour and a half he eld the audience with magnetic force. Mr. Sweeney Is the sort of a man to see the very things that will most Interest an audience, and being a scholar and thinker, he is able to Invest these with unusual lntorest. Mr. Sweeney is a forcible and entertaining speaker, and his audience would certainly be the bet ter for having heard him lecture. Thanksgiving Services, Tho Union Thanksgiving services held In the Presbyterian church last Thursday forenoon had about the usual sized congregation, but it was entirely too small for the large number of church going people there are In Reynoldsville. For some reason the people do not take Interest in Thanksgiving services. True the hour does not suit many of the ladles who are expected to get up a big dinner for Thanksgiving, but what ex cise have the male members of the churches to offer for non-attendance? In some places Thanksgiving services are held In the evening, and, no doubt, a larger congregation would attend in this place If the services were held in the evening instead of morning. It would be a good Idea to try it next year. Allen-Earle Stock Co.

When tho street car line begins the work of laying track on Main street, which will hardly be before next spring, then town council will be com pelled to repave Main street, at least that portion where street car line will run over, as the plonk paving Is almost gone In somo places now, and to cut seven or eight feet out of centre for street car line simply means to destroy the plank paving, and something more substantial will have to be laid, and tho matter might as well bo taken up immediately so that whon spring opens there will be no delay in getting things ready for paving. This is a matter that will force Itself on the borough not later than spring. Why not begin now? The St. Marys Ouzcttc say : "No pos sible expenditure of public moneys will ylold one-tenth of tho benefit to a town that will result from the luylng of good macadam or simlllar pavement. Every live town is asking itself if it can afford the necessary outlay. There can bo no doubt in this respect. The experience of hundreds of towns in the laud proves that the Increase In taxes from the enhanced value of property Is greater than the expense Incurred." Handkerchief Bazaar.

" It Is a generally accopted fact that the htef purpose of the stage Is to amuse. It Is the consensus of opinion that the thoutre should furnish the necessary relaxation to the average man and woman of business, who seek to escape for a few hours oach week from the grinding commercialism that charact erizes the present age. It was the recognition of this social truth that im pelled tho production this sesson of that funniest of all plays "A Runaway Match" that makes its Initial appear ance In this city at tbe opera house Thursday evening, Dec. 4. The author of this merry comedy wrote that suc cessful play "Brown's In Town" that has mado thousands laugh, both in this country and across the water, for the last three years. The piece is so dex terously constructed that It Is a verit able tangle of ludlorous mistakes, whoro a group of eccentric characters are perpetually playing at cross-pur poses, with tho result that at the end of the second act everything Is topsy-turvy, and the most side-splitting situa tions, and amusing complications ensue. "A Runaway Match" contains some of the most clever peoplo In .the theat rical profession. Among them Is Bertha Wlllsoa, America's greatest comedi enne who has been a leading member of some of tho best organizations, Miss Alice Williams as a soubrette has few equals. Her dainty and artistic work makes her popular with audiences everywhere. She will positively ap pear with "A Runaway Match," at opera house Thursday night. Horses for Sale.

COMMITTED SUICIDE ON MAIN STREET. An Unknown Man Sent a Bullet Through His Drain. IIS IDENTITY HAS NOT YET BEEN PROVED. It Is Said He Claimed to be from Lock Haven Body has been Embalmed. Hundreds View the Corpse. About 8.25 p. m. on Friday of last week a man, whose Identity is unknown, committed suicide on Main street, al most opposite The Star office, by hooting himself In the head. Wo were sitting In The Star office talking to Louis O. Mulllngor when tho awful doed was done and were startled by the loud report of a pistol shot, and remarked to Mr. Mulllngor that some one was shooting, and got up and looked out the window, but did not see anybody around and sut down uguln and talked - to Mr. Melllngur 15 or 20 minutes and then be left the office, but was only gone a couple of minutes when he ran back and suld a man nuu snot hlmsoli. About the time Mr. Meilliiger left THE STAR office Duulul Mattiius was going home on opposite side of street and found tbe man lying Dear sidewalk and thought be was drunk, lie shook the man, but he showed no signs of lifo and Matblus culled Melllngur across the street, and tbe two men rolled tbe man over and saw the revolver which the man bud been lying on. Melllnger ran to The Star office and then for a doc tor. We ran across tbe street and light ed a match to get a good look at man and saw that be uud shot himself In the head, as near the center of head as it was possible to get it. The man was deud and probably had died instantly wbun bullet entered tils brain, lie Ula not select a lonely spot to commit sui- ide, but did the act within Itrty loot or an arc light. He must have been stand ing near edge of sidewalk, with back to Main street, when he placed tho revol ver to bis heud and pulled tbe trigger, as he full face first on the little ombunk- ment on uppor side of sidewalk. He used a new revolvor, 32-callbre, flve- sliootur. Only one chamber of the re volver was empty when found. Tho body was taken to the undortak- lng rooms of J. II. Hughes and a large number of people looked at tbe dead man, but no one claimed to recognize him until Saturday noon when James McFaddun, of West Reynoldsville, said that tbe man s name was Alotter ana that he came from the neighborhood of Uuuthvilte, but inquiry was made by telephone and no one there knew the mau. Thoro wero no papors in the man's pockets to give any clue regard ing his name or residence, but the laun dry mark on bis shirt was I. O. Mottor. Coroner Dr. K. V. Kyle, or Richards- vllle, was notified of tbe man's death and he came to Reynoldsville Saturday noon and held an Inquest. Tbe Jury, empanelled was, Perry B. Love, fore man, Saumol T. Reynolds, Nlntan Coop er, C. A. Stophonson, L. F. Hotrick and Jacob Doiblu. Four witnesses, Louis Mulllngor, L. J. McEntlre, T. E. Evans and Mr. Smith, appeared before the jury, but from the evidence submitted there was only ono verdict to render, und that was, "suicldo, death from his own bands." An effort bus boon mado to find where tho man camo from but the effort has proven fruitless so far. He came from direction of Brookvlllo Friday. Got bis dlnnor at liatton's store in Emerlck- ville Friday. Got a Philadelphia In quirer at Hotel Imperial Friday even ing and sot In the hotol otuco reading about an hour, from 7.00 to 8.00, and then left the hotel ana stopped at M. Plylor's moat shop and asked if there was a pollcoman or somo other officer around. Said ho was hungry, bad no money and no place to Bleep. Mr. i ly lur gave blm 15 cents to get a lunch. A light snow fell Friday evening and Sat urday morning it was discovered by tracks, wblcn wero measured by 'Squire E. Noll, and wero found to be the tracks of the suicide, that he had walked up almost to the Sunday school room door of BaptUt church, then turned around ana walked back to Iront oi church ana then walked across corner of lawn and up to placo whore be killed himself. It Is probablo that the man had walked be side the churoh to kill himself and then decided to seek another place to do the shooting. a ho man was comfortably dressed. His body was clean, bad on new and cloan underwear, good shoes and wore a good bat. Had on a pair of brown overalls. There was an ugly scar on right side of neck which was not al together healed, which led a number of peoplo to think that it was tho mark of an unsuccessful attempt to commit sui cide once bofore. When the overalls were removed It was discovered that his pants wore covered with old dried blood, no doubt blood from wound in neck. It is possible that the man had gotten out of a hospital or jail only a few days before he committed suicide. Sunday tbe body was placed on a chair in a sitting posture, with bat on his head and a picture was taken of him. The man looked as if he had fallen asleep sitting in the chair. Mr. Hughes embalmed tbe body and will try to keep it until next week in hon.'S that ho will be able to find the man's relatives, if be bad any. Tbe body is in good condition this morning The man told Mr. Ha turn atEmerick villo Friday that be came from Centre county, and be told Philip Guthrie at this place Friday evening that his home was at Lock Haven.
