Philipsburg Pickings.
A Batch of Interesting News Collected and
Written By Our Own Special
Correspondent.
Mr. William Lehman, a former Philipsburg
merchant, was here on last Friday.
Quite a good number of our people left Sal-
urday and Monday for Gettysburg.
It strikes us that work upon the Odd Fellows
new block is progressing rather slowly.
The family of A.V. Carpenter left Monday
for Greensburg, where they will hereafter re-
side.
While in the act of dumping coal, last Fri-
day, Mr. Richard Ashcroft had one of his
hands badly mashed.
J. N. Schoover who recently left for the Far
West, returned to Philipsburg last week. He
will stay in Philipsburg.
Mr. Robert Manley is able to be about again.
Hethad been confined several weeks with a
rush of blood to the head,
Edward Cudworth, who has been a resident
of our town for about ten years, left Tuesday
for his former home in England.
Phil. Womelsdorf lias purchased the prop-
erty he has occupied for some time on South
Centre street, of Capt. ‘I'. C. Fryberger.
Hon. J. N. Casanova and wife and niece’
who have been spending several weeks at
Saratoga, have returned to Philipsburg.
J. J. Parker, formerly a clerk in the Hale
Hardware Co.i store, has accepted a position as
salesman in Weaver's grocery at Clearfield.
Chester Hill's public schools will open on
next Monday morning. Miss Zana Gearhar,
graduate at the last commencement at our
High school, will teach the primary school.
Mr Daniel Kellock of this,place has left with
his family for Nova Scotia. He has been a good
citizen and resident of our town for a number
of years, and was highly esteemed by all who
knew him.
R. Haworth, recently of the firm of R. Ha-
worth & Bro., who, a few weeks since, went
down into Virginia to go into business, not
liking the town he desired locating in has re-
turned to Philipsburg.
Lewis Hess, Esq., and his son-in-law, accom-
panied by the latter's family, left Tuesday for
Banion, where they will hereafter make their
homes. Both have accepted positions in a
large planing mill at that place.
Rev. N. H. Miller, of Osceola, and the Luth-
eran minister of this place, Rev. A. K. Felton,
exchanged pulpits on last Sanday morning.
A Rev. Mr. Foster occupied the pulpit of the
Presbyterian church in this place Sunday
evening. -
A sparring match, for 8100 a side,is advertised
to take place in the park on October 10th, but
the Town Council decided at their last meet-
ing that it shall not come off. They also in-
structed the Burgess not to issue any more
licenses to street fakirs.
It is rumored that Rev. S. A. Cornelius, pas
tor of the Presbyterian cnurch, this place, has
received a call from a church in Californias
but as he isnow on a visit to his parents’in
Ohio, we are unable to find out whether he
will accept the call or not, but it is our hope
he will not, as he is universally liked by our
pople.
Charles E. Kemp,Superinterident of Hoov er
Hughes & Co. planing mill at this place, h:s
purchased the Shonty property on corner of
Seventh and Presqueisle street. We under-
stand that he intends fixing the property up in
good style, and if that is his intention we may
expect to see improvements in the property
which was rapidly going to pieces.
At a meeting of Town Council the Light
committee presented a bill for $158.52 for the
arc lights, but in consequence of the failure
in giving the prescribed light, the company re-
duced the amount to $105.52, the Council how-
ever, considered 200 asa full equivalent for
light received, This is right, and the bor-
oughshould not pay fora thing they do not
get.
Mrs. John S. Runk, living with her son Jerry
on N. Second street, died of dropsy on last Sat-
urday evening, aged about sixty-one years.
She was a kind, christian old lady, and loved
and esteemed by everybody. Her husband
died about one year ago. Her remains were
interred in the new cemetery on last Monday
afternoon, and were followed by a great many
friends and relatives.
We learn that a large brick building will be
erected upon the ruins of the livery stable re-
cently burned on corner of Second and Pine
street, and that Rhule & Robinson have the
contract. One of the buildings which were
destroyed at the same time, and which joined
the livery stable which belonged to W. T.
Rothrock, will be replaced by a large bricic
dwelling and will be quite an improvement to
that section of town.
David J. Davis who is employed in the Spring
Hill colliery, met with a peinful accident on
last Friday. He was entering the mine, his
lamp not giving very good light, and in order
to pick his footsteps, held his head down,when
presently and unexpectedly he came in con-
tact with a mule, which dealt him a fearful
blow between the eyes with his heof, knock-
ing him senseless to the ground. His wounds
were dressed by Dr. Biglow.
The public schools opened on last Monday
morning, and the small boy and girl will have
to be tied down for. nine long month, under
the Superintendency of J. B. Richey, A. B. We
have no doubt that the coming term of school
will be a great snceess, The corps of teachers
are second to none, and are as follows: J. B.
Richey, A. B,, Superintendent, High School ;
R. M. Wilson, A. B,, Principal; Miss Jennie
Morrison, Assistant, Grammar school; 9th
grade, Miss Emma J. Herriott, Preceptress;
sth grade, Miss Cora James ; Tth grade, Miss
Mollie Ward; 6th grade, Miss Margaret Meade.
Intermediate schools: 5th grade, Miss Cora
Vaughn; 4th grade, Miss Alla M. Smith ; 4th
grade, Miss Ella Ward; 3rd grade, Miss Lydia
Holt; 2nd grade, Miss Agnes Shoemaker ; 2nd
grade, Mrs, Lucretia Colburn. Primary school:
1st grade, Miss Myrtle Gray; 1st grade Miss
Pheobe Hoover.
A great deal of dissatisfaction is expressed
by parents who are compelled to purchase a
whole new outfit of school books this term of
school. Don’t know but it strikes us that they
are justified in condemning the change of
school books, Tt is now only two years since
a new series of school books was introduced,
and for the Principal, Directors, or whosoever
is instrumental in cansing this change so goon
again, we don’t think it is exactly right. We
have plenty of families living in our midst
who are really not able to stand this additional
unnecessary expense, In our opinion this
thing of changing school hooks every two or
three years is a piece of “nonsensical non-
sense,” and the people should stop it. It is
money in the pockets of the publisher and the
agent, but the poor devil who is compelled to
purchase hooks fora family of from five to
seven children—well that is a secondary con-
sideration. :
Political Colonization.
There is said to be a big political
scheme on hand to colonize the new
States of Montana and Washington
with negroes, so as to hold them steady
in the Republican column. Itis a well
known fact that both these proposed
new States are Democratic and the only
way the Republicans can see to get
their electoral vote is to fill them with
negroes from the States of the late con-
federacy. National Chairman Quay
has the credit of being at the head of
this piece of political charlatanism, and
the African M. E. church has been se-
lected by him to do the dirty work, the
preachers of which have already be-
gun to call on the blacks to emigrate
to the Northwestern States and particu-
larly to the two above-mentioned.
Rev. T. M Henderson, of Quinn Chapel,
Chicago. has made an elabroate report
of the “State of the Country,” in which
headvises the darkies to goto the North-
west. Said he :
“I have lived for a great many vears
in the South and am quite conversant
with the subject treated. It was I who
organized and conducted under Gov. St.
John the great exodus of my people
from the State of Mississippi to Kansas
in 1879, At that time I was editor of
two newspapers in Kansas. We got
over 60,000 colored people to move to
that State, gave most of them a mule
and sold them forty acres of land each
on five and ten years’ time. The move
was a great success. Many of them
are now rich. All are well-to-do.”
Henderson says this movement has
been quietly worked for a long tithe and
will be continued until enough biacks
are scatterd through these States to car-
ry them for the Republican party. He
added that they have a better “under-
ground railroad’ now than they had in
the days of old John Brown.
Such is the scheme instituted by
Quay to steal the States of Montana
and Washington from the Democrats.
Butnow that it is known Democratic
management will be apt to checkmate
it to a large extent, so that it will not
be likely to be as successful as it other-
wise might have been. To be fore-
warned is to be forearmed, and those
Western Democrats will doubtless be
on the lookout toarrest this piece of
political jugglery.

Six Months of Harrison.
New York World.
The first six months of the Harrison
administro tion, an eighth of the full
term, have passed. If “abad begin-
ning makes a good ending,” the new
| administration ought to goout in a blaze
of glory, for none in forty years has
made a worse start.
President Harrison has violated the
most conspicuous of his own pledges,
and his administration hasalready made
a mockery of the roseate prophecies
that were a part of his canvass, In-
stead of “extending the civil service re-
form” he has inangurated a clean sweep.
Removals for political reasons have not
bean so rite and so relentless since the
inauguration of the spoils system.
Wages have been reduced, strikes have
increased and failures multiplied.
President Harrison signalized his ac-
cession to office by rewarding with high
appointments men who have given large
sums of money to promote his election.
In this sordid and corrupt use of the
appointing power he has surpassed the
boldest acts of President Grant in his
first term, as he has hkewise in the ne-
potism and a favoritism which have
characterized his appointments, and in
his open alhance with the worst bosses
of the party. in every State.
In the last two months of the first
half year there has been an increase of
over$7,000,000 in the public debt. The
deposits in “favored banks,” which
both Mr. Blaine and Mr. Harrison
made the occasion of a railing ac-
cusation againsta Democratic Secretary
of the Treasury, have increased under
the new administration.
The most conspicuous feature of the
Harrison regime at home has been the
open mouth and reckless hand of Cor-
poral Tanner in the Pension Office.
The niost notable scintillation of its
“brilliant foreign policy” has been the
farcical seizure of Canadian vessels in
Behring Sca and their running away
with the “prize crews” of one.
It is small wonder that sagacious Re-
publican leaders “view with alarm’ the
approaching fall elections.

Pensions and National Expenses.
— .
The following letter from a German-
town correspondent to the Philadelphia
Times explains itself and is emphatical-
ly answered by the editor of that paper:
To the Editor of the Times:
Are you not in error in the surprising
statement made in your editorial col-
ums this morning, that the cost of pen-
sions this year would be double the
amount of the entire expenses of the
national government before the war?
J. P
No; we were not mistaken. The to-
tal ordinary expenses of the national
government, including interest, for
the year ending June 80, 1860, were
$63,200,875, and for the year ending
June 30, 1861, they were $66,650,213.
The appropriaticns for pensions this
year are a little over $81,000,000, and
the present Pension Commissioner has
already drawn on the fund at a rate
that would exhaust the entire appropria-
tion in five months. He stated lately in
a public speech that he was undecided
whether his requisition for pensions
would be $115,000,600 or $125,000,000,
and unless his re-rating’’ policy wi h
large arrears shall be suddenly halted, it
is evident that $125,000,000 will be in-
adequate to pa his pension drafts.
The government has already paid over
$1,000,000,000 in pensionssince the close
of the civil war, and it will require
much more than $1,000,000,000 in addi-
tion to execute our present pension laws,
while the new disability and service
pension bills proposed by the Grand
Army National encampment would add
fully $1,000,000,000 more to the present
pension obligations of the government
These are startling ficures, but they
present the sober truth.
The Grand Old Man on the Stump.
I do not remember ever to have seen
what I consider a good or full descrip-
tion of Gladstone when speaking, and
as speaking is one of his commonest avo-
cations in daily life it is curious that no
one has ever endeavored to reproduce to
the mind’s eye of far distant readers a
pen picture of one of the most promin-
ent men in all Europe when engaged in
making a speech. Let me therefore
havea try. In the first place, it must
be borne in mind that Gladstone is a
small man, and that when standing up
to address an audience his low stature
is all the more noticeable. People who
are accustomed to judge the Grand Old
Man (those who never see him) by his
photographs are apt to think him a large
tall man. The immense broad head
and width of shoulders naturally give
the impression ot a body and frame to
match. You are quickly undeceived
when you see him. As he stands facing
yon, before beginning to speak, you are
struck both by the extreme pallor of his
countenance and the stealthy, cat-like
expression of his features. The deep-set
eyes, the eyebrows diverging at sn up-
ward angle of forty-five degrees from
each other across his forehead, the long,
Difference in the Public Debt State-
ment.
Pittsburg Post.
The public debt statement for August,
just out, shows some remarkable facts
that will interest the great American
taxpayers.
While the receipts of the treasury for
August, 1889, were about the same as
for August, 1888, under the Cleveland
administration, or in round numbers
about $34,000,000, the expenditures of
the past month exceed those for August,
1888, about 40 per cent, or $40,000,000
against $24,000,000 under’ Cleveland.
There is Tannerism for you. “Treat
the boys liberally” was the salutation
Benjamin gave the corporal when the
latter took office.
As a result of this “liberal” treatment,
the public debt was increased for Au-
gust, 1889, in the neat sum of $6,076,662.
The pension disbursements were nearly
doubled during the month. The surplus
is going, going, and will soon be gone.
On Tanner’s plan there will have to be
an increase of taxation to meet the raids
on the treasury, rather than a reduction.

dark, deep line on each side of the nose |
from eye corner to chin, the firm, clinch- |
ed lips, and the eyes which blink in sul-
len thought, all combine to suggest a
temporarily subdued, but anger-slumber-
ing, Bengal tiger.
Once he opens his lips, this expression
vanishes. His face lights up, and his
voice comes forth clear and musical, as
unlike the voice of an octogenarian as a
voice can be. [thas not its old ring, or
its old power, but it cannot be called a
weak voice. There is never a quaver or
querulous shrillness, never an approach
to the piping, childish treble, or tremu- |
lous bass of our grandfathers, and Glad-
stone might be the great-crandfather of
some of us. Though it cannot reach me,
save as I can catch an utterance or two
at intervals, it is the voice of middle-ag-
ed manhood still. On and on he talks,
never hesitating, never stumbling, nev-
er repeating, never stammering, never
at a loss for a word. His ease and flu-
ency make you think his speeches com-
monplace. At intervals of, say fifty
words, he has a curious facial trick of
spreading and tightening his lower lip |
across his teeth, about as a man does |
whose teeth are set on edge, and you
listen for the whistling inhalation which |
commonly accompanies clinched teeth.
This gives his face a hard, sinister, cruel
look, for an instant. Then it vanishes,
to come again and again until you get
so used to it that you missit if perchance
helets too long an interval go by.
Sometimes he scratches his temple with
his bent forefinger, sometimes the top of
his head with his thumb; again, he is
boating time with pointed finger or fin-
ishing a crushing sentence with a twirl
of it over his head. At other times he
is holding his double eye-glasses up to
his eyes to read some statistic, or ex-
tract, or quotation, and then taking them
down again. Altogether, as you stand
and watch him, you cannot realize that
you are being addressed by one of the
greatest orators of modern times. His
dress consisted Wednesday of a black
cloth frock coat and waistcoat, the coat
worn open, and the top buttons of the
waistcoat lett unbuttoned over an ex-
panse of white shirt bosom; a black
sitk handkerchief tied round a not by
any means so large a shirt collar as is
generally given him. Dark-brown
trousers completed his costume, which
was simplicity itself.---Cockaione's Lon-

Couldn’t Beat the Yankee,
While the United State ship Nipsic
and several men-of-war of different na-
tions were anchored near each other in
the harbor of Montevideo, the crew
of a Dutch man-of-war which was moor-
ed near Uncle Sam's ship entered into
liveliest competitive drill and did their
utmost. to beat the time made by the
American boys in shinning masts up and
down and crossing yards. After some
very determined racing, in which the
Americans had slightly laid the
Dutchmen over their persistent compet-
itor, one of the Dutchinen, whohad sue-
ceeded in crossing the mainroyal yard a
few seconds astern of the time made by
the Nipsic, gave a loud shout, which
drew the attention of every ship in the
harbor, and shinning up the long pole
to the truck, which is a circular piece of
wood about the siz: of a dinner plate
fixed at the very top of the mast and
used for the purpose of hoisting the flags
he drew himself up and stood on his
head on the truck, and twirled his legs
around as if to | challenge and deride the
possibility of any seaman daring to rival
himin that line of business, and after
maintaining his position for almost a
minute he repeated his yell of defiance
and slid down the royal backstay to the
deck, where he was received by ‘a cheer
that could be heard all over the city of
Montevideo.” The rousing cheer had
an instantaneous effect upon the temper
of Jack Peterson, the curly headed Capt.
of the Nipsic’s foretop who, after declur-
ing that no square headed Dutchman
under the sun could get ahead of him,
rushed up on the main truck, and in at-
tempting to stand on his head, which he
had never before attempted to do, he in-
stantly overbalanced and fell a distance
of 180 feet into the water, accidentally
going in feet first, after the manner of
an expert diver. The somerset and fall
were entirely accidental, and looked
from a distance like a feat of great skill.
Jack was at once pulled aboard the ship
and before he hud fully recovered his
breath he jumped on the rail. and shak-
ing his clenched fist in the direction of
the Hollander, he shouted at the top of
his voice: “There, you Dutch pea soup
guzzling son of a sen cook, let's see you
beat that.” —San Francisco Beaminer.

of Wilson Snook, a remarkably hand-
some and bright lad of 7 years. The
little boy was at the dinner table and

a piece of pie, ran hurriedly and climbed
upon the wagon. Just as the boy got
on, his brother went to the rear to lock
the wagon, as there is a steep incline in

was powerless to save him. It was

Signs of a Hard Winter.
“We are going to have an early fall
and a long, cold, bard winter,” remark-
ed a farmer on Saturday.
“How do you figure that out” he was
asked.
“In the first place,” ’the farmer replied,
“just try the skin of your fruit. You
will find your apples and peaches and
grapes, and all your fruit, for that mat-
ter, which is home-grown, with a thick-
er and tougher skin than you have seen
for several years. This is one of the in-
dications. That is the way nature takes
care of her products. Last winter apples
and other fruits were so thin-skinned
and tender that it was hard to gather
them without bruising them, if you will
remember, and we had a mild winter.
Corn isanother of nature’ssign boards.
The ears this year are protected by
thicker and stronger husks than I
have ever seen before for years, and talk-
ing with farmers from different parts of
the country I find it the same way.
Wheat and rye straw are tougher, hay is
wirier and seed pods are better protected
than usual. These are old farmer's
signs, and they are good ones, because
they don’t come from any moon-plant-
ira superstitions but from actual obser-
vation year after year by a class of men
whose interests lie in” keeping close
watch on all of nature’s moods. Then
another sign of a hard winter is the hea-
vy crop of corn or wheat. You can
just put it down that whenever there is
an unusually heavy grain crop, there is
going to be a hard winter.

Hor Warer ReLieves Pain.—THere
is scarcely an ache or pain in the whole
body which is not soothed or removed
by hot water if applied as follows. Dip
a piece of flannel or cloth, of five or
six folds or layers in boiling water and
lay it on the painful part, covering it
instantly with a dry flannel, of which
the edges should extend over the wet
an inch or more; as soon as the
wet flannel has dried a little, or in
about five minutes slip it out under
one edge of the dry cloth, and introduce
another flannel as hot as can be hand-
led. Do this in so adroit a manner as
to allow as little cold air as possible to
get to the skin tonched by the hot flan-
nel ; persevere until the pain is removed.
Physicians assert that by this hot-water
poultice the most violent, dry and dis-
tressing coughs have been relieved in a
few minutes, and some forms croup of

Just ExouGH To TAKE orf THE Er- |
FrCT.—A clergyman of this city likes
to tell a story of his experience in a sub- |
urban church some years since. He |
was to preach an exchange, and so was |
a little anxious to have things go
smoothly. The paster had left a written |!
order of service for him, but he noticed
that it contained no reference to an or- |
gan response after the “long prayer.”
So he called the aged sexton to the pul- |
pit and asked him what followed the |
|
|
prayer. The sexton couldn’t remember.
“Doesn't the organ have anything to
do?” asked the preacher. Oh,” said
the sexton, “I beheve the organ does |
give a few notes, just enough to take off
the effect of the prayer!” Another Bos-
ton clergyman was once surprised on
preaching an exchange to find “a strain
on the organ” upon the order following
t"e prayer. Whenhe heard the wheezy,
asthmatic tones of the instrument Le
concluded it was indeed a “strain.” —
