The increase of our merchant marine is a subject deserving the prompt at tention both of Congress and of the people.

Here in the latest story of the 1111111 J j who is too stingy to take his home ! paper: "A man who is too economical i to take this paper sent his little boy to I borrow the copy taken by his neighbor, j In his haste the boy ran over as 4 stand i of bees, and in ten minutes looked like 1 a warty summer squash. His cries j reached his father, who ran to hjs | | assistance, and failing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into that, breaking it down, cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy, and ruining a $4 pair of pants. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence, and got into the field and killed herself j eating green corn. Hearing the noise, | the wife ran and upset a four gallon j churnful of rich cream into a basket of I kittens, drowning the whole flock. In j the hurry she dropped a $7 set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled milk and into the parlor, ruining a brand new §2O carpet. During the excitement the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man, | the dog broke up eleven setting hens, j and the calves got out and chewed the j tails off four fine shirts." Moral: ! Subscribe for the PRESS and save wear and tear. A Very Clean Show. Although the weather was very threatening yesterday evening Guy | Brothers' Minstrels drew out a large | house. Guy Brothers have pursued a | right managerial policy and are an j nually improving their show, and this year they present a much stronger performance than ever before. Arthur Guy, with his natural calli ope in his windpipe, caught the crowd; Flood Bros., with a very original acrobatic act made a big hit; Arthur Guy and Billy Crawford, the dancing comedians, were entitled to a blue ribbon, and George and William Guy, the oldest minstrel team 011 the road, showed that they are just as young as they used to be. The entrance used in the first part is very unique and caught the crowd immensely. When the curtain goes up, unlike other minstrel shows, no body is discovered 011 the stage, but all come in"from the woods" in a novel manner. One word before closing. Guy Bros, have as clean a performance as any on the road. There is nothing "sugges tive" about the show and ladies can attend with the surety that their presence will bo eminently respected. It is a great point in their reputation and one which brings them hosts of friends.—Ann Arbor (Mich.) Daily. At the Emporium opera house, March 27, 1900. General admission, 35 cents; reserved seats, 50 cents; chil j dren, 25 cents. Reserved seats on sale at 11. S. Lloyd's book store. Strange Family Mix-Up. George 11. Creed, a member of the Queens county, N. Y., board of super visors from the town of Jamaica, has become brother-in-law to his own son by marrying his son's wile's sitsor, a Miss Stoothoff of Jamaica. While Creed is brother-in-law to his ! own son and father-in-law to his sister | in-law, his wife becomes mother-in-law ' j to her own sister and also sister-in-law J to her step-son. Should both couples have children, the children of the elder Creed would be both aunts and uncles to their cous ins, the children of the younger Creed. Then, the elder Creed and his wife would serve in the dual relationship of grandfather and grandmother and uncle and aunt to young Creed's chil dren, while young Creed and his wife would be both uncle and aunt to their own step-brothers and sisters. A Family of Tramps. Mrs. Mary Basin, her daughter, Mrs. Edith Gray, and the latter's two small , ! children, who during the past two years have traveled on foot over 2,000 miles, were lodgers at the Allegheny police station last night. The quartet are the most unique and singularly equipped tramps that per haps ever applied for shelter at 112 the station. They arrived in Pittsburg • j from Monassa, Va., Saturday night and walked almost the entire distance. A large sled, pulled by Mrs. Gray, held all the effects of the party. Among the supplies were a heavy canvas tent, a number of cooking utensils, smoked meat, a hatchet for camp use, and ' numerous other articles. ' The members of the party notwith | standing their privations during tho . past two years arc all in splendid • health and are perfectly happy. They crossed the Allegheny mountains and I camped out several days when the I weather was below zero. Mrs. Gray, . although she was born in Virginia, is a ' typical Western woman and spent ' most of her life on the frontier. She was married twice and in each case her husband deserted her. She finally concluded to take her mother and two _ children and travel about the country. . The party has visited most of the western states and while on the plains ■ j had a number of adventures. Tho ■ j party will leave this morning for ■ | Mercer county, where Mrs. Gray said . j they will stay with her relatives, until . j the cold weather is over. They will ■ j then resume their travels.—Pittsburg I Times. SinnemahonlnK. The public library was rc-opencd on Saturday after a suspension of several week*.? caused by the diphtheria scare.

Piper is attending the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the M. I'i. Church, at Hazleton and in conse quence there was no preaching here on Sunday. The Empire Kindling-wood Co , have reduced their output from eight to six car loads per week, on account of a scarcity ol raw material. This conditi tion is not expected to continue after the sawmills get started. A few logs are already noticed float ing down the river. This is the first harbinger of spring and now we arc pa tiently waiting for the organ grinder and a performing bear, then we can begin to make garden. Rev. McCaslin of the Presbyterian church, Emporium officiated at the fun eral of the late J. 31. Shafer and his dis course was certainly an able and eloquent effort, replete with beautiful thoughts that must have been a comfort and con solation to the friends of deceased. Confidence in Advertising. John Wanamaker, who is probably the largest daily newspaper advertiser in the world, at one time early in his career thought seriously of making an assign ment, having put all his ready cash into advertising. The returns from his ad vertising did not come iu as promptly as he had expected them to, creditors be came uneasy and anxious, and, after pay ing his advertising bills, he found himself practically penniless. It was at this period of his business career, when des pair and desperation had almost crushed him, that Mr. Wanamaker went to the famous New York merchant, A. T. Stewart for help and advice. He an nounced frankly that lie wanted to make an assignment then and there. Mr. Stewart listened to the story of his heavy expenditures in advertising and answered him with simply one word. "Wait." After some further encouragement, Mr. Wanamaker returned home and within a short period the money spent in adver tising began to produce profitable results. After this incident he went iuto adver tising heavier than ever and his financial downfall wns averted. The story of his continuous heavy advertising since that time is known throughout tlu business world.—Pittsburg Times. Does this Hit You. A well-known pen pusher rises to re mark: The place to take the true measure of a man is not on the street, nor in the amen corner, nor at the loruni,or in the field, but at his own fire side. There he lays aside hi: mask, and you learn whether he is an imp or an angel, humbug or hero. We do not care what the world says of him, whether it crowns him with jewels or pelts him with eggs. We care not a copper what his reputation may be. If his children dread his home coming and his better half swallows her heart every time she asks for a few cents, he's a fraud of the first water, even though he prays night and morning till he is black in the lace, and howls hallelujah till he shakes the eter nal hills. Advice to (Jirls. Girls, don't hang around the depot unless you are going away or meeting friends, says an exchange. Don't goto church and take a back seat with your escort and then whisper and giggle dur ing the services. Don't be loud, boister ous or slangy. Stand on your dignity; don't carry your heart on your sleeve and don't throw yourselves in the arms of every well dressed stranger that comes to town. Be womanly, be modest, be serious at times; don't unsex yourself and thus lose woman s greatest charm. Don't regard your long-legged awkward brother as a nuisance; don't turn up your nose at father and his poor grammar, and, above all, don't play "A Hot Time" on the piano when yout' mother is having "a hot time" over the wash-tub.—Ex. It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Albany (N. Y.) dairyman called at a drugstore there for a doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr.Otto Scholz, says the family has since recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand for it from that part of the country.
