It is singular how varied is the su
perstition regarding the color green in
different countries. It is the national
color of the Irish and the imperial
green of France is the perpetuation of
the royal color of the old Merovin
giant Kings. How different is the
sentiment toward the color in Scot
land. There it is held in the utmost
aversion, if not fear. With some of
the clans particularly the Caithness
men, it is considered fatal.
With this clan the superstition is
altogether born of the results of
flodden field, where the Caithness
men wore the color. It is also con
sidered unlucky by the Ogelvieand
Graham clans, the latter telling the
story of an old man who was thrown
from his horse and killed in a fox
chase because he had a green lash in
his riding wh'p.
Tne Corbctt-Fitzsimmons fight at
Carson City last March, reproduced
by the verescope, attracted a fair sized
audience of men to the Opera House
Monday night. The pictures were
considerably blurred at times, but
never the less were quite interesting,
and gives one an opportunity to judge
for themselves as to the superiority of
the two gladiators.
The Normal School foot ball eleven
was defeated at Lewisburg, by the
Bucknell University team of that place
Saturday afternoon by the close score
of 6 to o. It is claimed to have been
one of the best games ever played at
Lewisburg. The Normal boys had
no idea that they would be able to
hold their heavy opponents down to
the remarkably small score of 6, but
had made up their minds to play the
game of their lives, and the result is
proof that they carried out their inten
tions. At one time they were but
three yards from Bucknell's goal.
DESTRUCTIVE Fl&E AT PITTSBURG-
The Union Trust Company build
ing, at Nos. 33s, 337, and 339,
Fourth Avenue, caught fire early Fri
day morning last and in less than an
hour the structure was in ruins.
One fireman is reported killed and
several others had narrow escapes.
1 he building was occupied by the
Union Trust company, Pittsburg
stocK Exchange, tidehty and Casual
ty company, East Side Land company,
executive committee for the triennial
encampment of the Knights Templar,
Durr's cafe and a large number ot
stock brokers.
The fire spread so rapidly that the
occupants were unable to save any
thing but their books, and the loss
will be total. For a time it was lear-
ed that the flames would reach the
adjoining buildings, but after a hard
battle the firemen succeeded in con
fining them to the original limits.
The loss is estimated at from $150,
000 to $200,000 on which there is an
insurance of about one-half.
The building was erected by Cap
tain J. J. Vandergnft for the Pitts
burg Oil Exchange, but was sold to
the Union Trust company a few years
ago for $150,000, the Oil Exchange
removing to other quarters.

BOGUS CtfEOK WOEKERS.
Two middle aged men are making
a tour of the neighboring towns, se
curing money on bogus checks. They
were in Ashland Friday, and this is
theVay they secure money: They
went to Burke Brothers furniture
store and purchased a large table
worth $35, offering in payment a
$42.50 check requesting the difference
in cash. Burke requested that he en-
dorse the check and he would get the
money at the bank. The fellow said,
"Oh, never mind, I will go to the
hotel and get it Cashed, saying I will
be back in a few minutes." Of course.
ne aia not return. He then went to
Mr. William Landefeld's turniture
store and purchased a bed room set,
offering the same check. Mr. Lande
feld told him to endorse it and that he
would get it cashed at the bank. The
stranger then got ofl the same story
that he did with Mr. Burke and said
he would return as soon as he would
get the check cashed. He then went
up town to the stove and tin store ot
John Lauer and made several pur
chases, offering in payment a $40
check. Mr. Lauer cashed the check,
paying the stranger the difference
which was $8, and the stranger then
gave some excuse about calling for
the stove and then left the store,
"never to return again. Local.

I. W. HARTMAN & SON.
Somewhere in the South there is
said to be an ancient porcelain mug
upon which is engraved ; "George
Washington, esq., General in Chief of
the United States Army and Marshal
of France." The mug recalls the fact
so little known, that Washington real
ly was an officer in the armies of the
King of France. How the illustrious
champion of Yorktown received that
title arose in the following j When old
Count Rochambeau came to this
country, it was speedily made known
that he could not serve under Wash
ington, as the old lieutenant general
could only be commanded by the
King in person, or, a Marshal of
France. A way out of the difficulty
was found by Colonel Laurens, who
suggested that King Louis make
Washington "a Marechal de trance.
