There are 159 cities in the United States with a population of over 25,000. Of this number 19 have 200,000 or more inhabitants, 19 have between 100,000 and 200,000 population, 40 have between 50,000 and ICO,OOO inhabitants and 81 have between 25,000 and 50,000 inhabi tants. As compared with the 38 cities having over 100,000 inhabitants at pres ent, there were only 28 in 1890 and 20 in 1880. W. N. Y. &P. History. A high official of the Pennsylvania said that it was not often his company bought back a road that it had once sold. This remark was caused by the recent acquisition of the Western New York & Pennsylvania. It appears that shortly after the war of the rebellion, and about the time of the coal oil craze, with the assistance of Pennsyl vania, a road was constructed from Irvineton, on the Philadelphia & Erie, to Oil City, known as the Warren & Franklin road. A line was then se cured from Oil City to Petroleum Cen tre, Oil Creek was then bridged and the Boyd Farm and Oil Creek Rail road, from Boyd's Farm to Corry, on Philadelphia & Erie, was also acquired. These roads gave to Philadelphia & Erie a circuit of the oil region of 105 miles in length. All these roads were worked inde pendently for some time, but later on they were merged into what was then known as the Oil Creek & Allegheny River road. Western New York & Pennsylvania then ran only as far as Franklin. All the merged lines after ward became the property of the Buf falo, New Nork & Philadelphia, and later on were included into Western New York & Pennsylvania. While Philadelphia & Erie did not build these lines, its officials were great factors in having them constructed, and they virtually belonged to Pennsylvania. Letter to J. W. Kriner. Emporium, Pa. Dear Sir : When you build a house you want a good paint next the wood —it goes a long way in taking care of the wood. The paint that has the best chance to be useful is this first coat; first two coats; first three coats. The first takes care of the wood; the second takes care of the first; the third takes care of the two. All three become one ; and that one is to last forever. " Forever" means as long as the house lasts. The way to make the first paint ing last, as long as the house, is to fol low it up with repainting often enough. How often ? Depends on the paint. Repaint while the paint is still water proof. All the wear is outside; there is no wear on the under paint. This is how the first painting lasts forever; by keeping it covered ; beeping it sound. And this is the cheapest way to take care of a houße. But how often to paint depends on your paint. If you paint lead and oil, paint again in three years or less; if Devoe lead and zinc, paint again in three years or more. That "less" and "more" are about as one to two. Devoe lead and zinc takes care of a house at half cost, because it lasts twice as long as lead and oil. Yours truly, 11 F. W. DEVOE & Co. Advertise in the PRESS. Terrible.

As the country is safe four years more the Liars' Club has reorganized and are now ready for business. Pap Blodget has not told the truth since failing to get second place on the National ticket at Philadelphia convention, and is a little envions of Teddy now. Beldin's skin is cracking, like a piece of old oil-cloth,from holding back for our first meeting. Pap Herfield sold his house to the railroad company, so we are undecided as to where our headquarters will be located—per haps in Logue's corn crib. Isaac IJowen told some whoppers on election day which will go hard with him unless he brings Wesley Barr for proof. Wesley is in the best of standing and his testimony goes; he was looking up a place the day before election for meeting and reports a favorable place—a barn—which will be brought up for consideration at our first meeting. Should we reinstate all the old mem bers we will be prepared to meet John Hogan, Mike Murphy, Mike Dolan, or Ed. McNerney, barring out Dalrymple. Wc expect to initiate Ed. Morse at our first meeting, then Dalrymple's debarment will be annulled and the world can com pete. IJanscom will be elected Great Annias at our first meeting, to serve one year. The Club has a drum corps to liven the sessions. The music is very elaborate; the shading and frazing by Past G. A., Blodget, on the bass drum, and N. H. McCloskey who handles the fife, and the trills on the six "snore" drums and two B I horns, by members of the club, is something for the authorities (on music) to look into. FIDE. P. S.

Early in the year 1896 Mrs. Smith, then Miss McHenry, of Hughesville, placed a small metal snap off a sus pender between her lips, and having occasion to laugh the piece of metal slipped down her throat and lodged in her windpipe, as she believed. Sev eral physicians were consulted, but none were willing to believe as the young lady did, they claiming that the metal had passed down her throat and would do her no harm. The young woman adhered to her theory, and, as a substantiation of her assertion, a soreness in a short time developed in her right lung and the symptoms of tuberculosis made their appearance. Matters continued practically the same until a few days ago when, during a severe spell of coughing, the lady spat out v/hat is supposed to be the piece of metal swallowed years ago. It had become oxydized, resembling a piece of charcoal.—Clinton Democrat. peSSHS2baHiHsHSaSHSasßSHSai3"e«'bidSabi ! di3- E ;SH£raS2SHSHa"HSaaisS| I STORE NEWS. • jjj Ladies' Jackets and Capes. j Childrenßeefer*. ft [}j | We carry a greater stock and Ln J Don't be possessed of the expen- j larger assortment of Children's r uj Bive delusion that because a garment !
