Aside Irom making detecticn a permanent feat ure of the story there is a theme of love and intrigue cleverly woven with comedy and thrilling situa tions, thus ma :ing an entertain ment that is sate to assert will in t :rest and amuse the most blaze theatre patron. The cast presenting "Too Proud to Beg" is a capable one and in cludes actois of ability, much above the general average. Opera House Friday, January 4th. -. Governor Pennypacker will go out of office without issuing the death warrant of Mrs. Kate Ed wards of Reading. Mrs. Rdwards was convicted nearly five years aero of assisting a negro to murder her husband, in order that her intimacy with the negro might go undiscov ered by the husband. Her negro child was born in jail. The negro was hanged. The life of the wo man has been spared by the merci ful governor. Ex. Was it an act of mercy, or was it the shirking of a responsibility that the law placed upou him? If the new Governor does not sign her death warrant, what is to be done with the woman ? The reported estimate bv Henrv H. Rogers that Tohn D. Rockefell er's income from Standard Oil alone will be $60,000,000 this year has resulted in the usual computations as to Mr. Rockefeller's income per minute, etc. One of these shows that every time the clock ticks off a second $1.90 goes into Rockefell er's coffers. By the time a whole minute has elapsed he is $114 rich er, and in an hour he has added $6,840 to his fortune. A day brings it up to $164,160, enough to pay the salary of President for three years, with a little left over. The rate goes on every day in the week, Sundays and holidays. Even if the clock stops ticking the $1.90 keeps ou coming in every second. Vinegar. One of the provisions of the new pure food law is that every barrel oi vinegar which is put out must be labeled plainly with the name of the one who barreled it, together with a statement as to whether the barrel contains pure cider changed to viuefcar by a natural process, a composition, or if acid is used in bringing about fermentation. A violation of this involves severe penalties. Another thing, it would be just as well if no "new" maple sugar is on the market before Feb ruary 1st. Maple sugar offered for sale must be accompanied by a statement as to what year it was manufacutured, and if there has been any glucose, or any other kind ol sugar used in the manufacture, or anything except the boiling dowu of the natural sap of the maple tree, it must be clearly stated, or the per son offering it for sale is liable to get into trouble. Butter artificially colored is also forbidden by the pure food laws. Wife Beaters. Commenting upon the dogmatic declaration of that Butler murderer that he "had the right to kill his wife if he wished to," the Bradford hra declares that he "is certainly a person of brilliant originality." It adds: "Many husbands believe that they have the right to blacken their wives' eyes, compel them to struggle in domestic slavery and to make their lives a small edi tion of sheol, but it remained for tbe Butler individual to discover that a husband's ownership of a wife includes the death as well as the life of the woman." The fact is, a country which admits to its shores thousands of men who honestly believe their wives are their property, just as though they were beasts, is going to reap the whirlwind presently. Of Course It Paid. Judge tells a story of a boy who wrote on the blackboard at school: "John Jones can hug the girls bet ter than any fellow in the class." A stern inquisition conducted by the lady teacher fastened the author ship of this declaration upon John Jones himself, and the culprit was commanded to remain after school was dismissed. His sympathetic classmates lingered in the vicinity to learn his fate. "Well, did she lick you?" they inquired, when he finally appeared. . "Nope, " said John. "What did she keep you in for, then?" they asked. "I ain't a-goin' to tell." he answered; "but it pays to advertise." The engagement of Rev. R. S. Nichols to a New York lady is an nounced. The date of the wedding has not yet been made public. STATE NEWS. f The State Treasury general fund had $7,310,859 at the close of the December business.

Big Bear Chases a Man. The Lock Haven Express says that an interesting story comes from Leiby township, Clinton county, the truthfulness of which is vouched for by Detective J. H. Keller of Lock Haven who was in the vicinity on official business. The particulars are as fallows: Albert Calhoun, a young man living in Leuly township, was en gaged in working on what is known as the second bridge, situated in a most remote part of the township, being at least three miles from any habitation. As was his custom, he alw.iys took his trusty Winchester with him and to this and his true marksmanship he owes his life. Friday afternoon Mr. Calhoun noticed fresh bear tracks in the snow and from the imprints made they indicated that it was a big one and worth going af'er. So he fol lowed the tracks some distance and arrived just iu time to see bruin crawling into his den. Mr. Cal houn went towards it when the big brute made for him and chased him quite a distntice, the young man yelling at the top of his voice for help. Detective Keller was just passing near there, and, hearing the cries, asked what was wrong, when suddenly there was a crack from a riflle. This worried the .Detective more than ever and he went to the assist ance of the man and found him standing over the carcass of a dead bear that weighed at least 400 pounds. Mr Calhoun stated that his nerve at first failed him, but he knew perfectly well that the bear was rapidly gaining on. bim and he turned and fired, the bullet enter ing the eye and going through the brain, killing it instantly. The car cas was dragged to the road and taken to that gentleman's home on a sled. PUBLIC SALE. Charles B.

Every man, woman and child thinks he is a born detective. A proof of this is the eagerness with which one accepts the privilege of wearing a shinirg badge with the words "special officer," which giv es no power nor authorizes one to make an arrest but makes the own er unmeasurably happy just the same. The detective instinct will be given a new impetus when Lin coln J. Carter's latest play, "Too Proud to Beg" is presented at the Grand Opera House, Friday night, January 4th.
