EDITORIAL HENTION.
llow are the mighty fallen!
Grover Cleveland's autograph
brings only four shillings in the
London market.
Emperor William evidently
thinks that he can stir up troubles
enough of his own without assum
ing any of Oom Paul's.
The census of "domestic ani
mals not on farms'' in the United
States, is plainly inaccurate. It
puts several cities down as having
only one or two asses.
Well, Lord Roberts having set
tled the Boer war, Lord Kitchener
will now proceed to settle it again.
Thus there will he glory enough
for all.
Both Chicago and New York are
having spasms of reform, and the
dive keepers have put up their
shutters and retired to live on their
savings lor a week or two.
This thing of breaking wills is
getting serious. Pretty soon all
estates will go according to the law
of interstate descent if this thing
continues much longer.
It seems strange that Minister
Choate isn't able to patch up a
truce between the Prince of Wales
and Tod Sloane. What does he
think he drawi his salary for?
Talk about German trade restric
tions and of coal to New
castle and of anything else of the
sort that may occur to you. Here
is the United States shipping cab
bage to Germany to make sauer
kraut!
Pity the sorrows of the poor.
The poor brewers who increased
their output only three million bar
rels in 1900 and the poor bank de
positors who have to blow in all
their wealth on revenue stamps are
both on the point of bankruptcy.
As we expected, Col. Mills' re
port demonstrates to any fair mind
ed man that Cadet Booz was not
killed by hazing, and that the
chances are he was not hazed at all.
Still, since an official investigation
would be more conclusive, let us
have one by all means.
As Senator Frye declared in the
Senate recently, the pending ship
ping bill scarcely even resembles
the original Hanna-Payne bill.
Discussion has resulted in so many
amendments that the former can
hardly be recognized in the latter.
Only the principle remains.
Now a Boston man has decided
that he will compete for the honor
of defending the America's Cup
against Sir Thomas Lipton. The
more the merrier. The cup is a
national matter and should be de
fended without regard to the origin
of the defender.
The latest plan of the Democratic
members of the Ways and Means
Committee seems to be a somewhat
novel one. They want to reduce
taxation beyond the safe limit so
as to compel the Government to
issue bonds to pay the expenses of
the Philippine troubles. The idea
is that this would force retirement
from the islands.
Mr. Bryan refused to be an actor,
but he is now filling the role of
hired man to the magazines.
Solomon Up-To-Date.
No man can espouse a good cause on
an empty stomach; therefore, satisfy
his hunger before you fill him with
religion.
The life of a man is in the power of
his tongue, yet a dumb man generally
lives as long as an orator.
He that ftndeth a good wife flndeth a
good thing, but every man that gets
married does not always hold a win
ning ticket in the matrimonial lottery.
A man that has friends must be
friendly; yet a purchased friend is sel
dom a true one.
He that is noted for giving gifts hath
lots of friends, especially at Christmas
tide.
He that witneßseth a lie shall not go
unpunished; yet there are plenty of
perjurers who are living in affluence
through their testimony.
He that keepeth the commandment#
keepeth his soul; but the men who
keep their soul are few and far be
tween.

On the Scent of Bribery.
A Primrose Dame, canvassing a Lon
don constituency, called upon a Mrs.
Smith and asked for her husband's vote.
Mrs. Smith expressed regret, but was
afraid her husband would vote for the
Liberals. "The fact is," she said, "he
has been promised a new suit of clothes if
he votes for the other side." The Prim
rose Dame was in an ecstasy of curiosity.
"Who had made the promise?" Mrs.
Smith mustn't tell. Half a sovereign was
offered for the information; but Mrs.
Smith was of the opinion that she could
n't tell for that. "Well, look here, I'll
give you a sovereign if you tell me," said
the lady at last. Then Mrs. Smith suc
cumbed to the tempter. Having received
the money she revealed the secret. "If
you will know ma'am it's me &s told him
that if he'd vote for the Radicals I'd give
him a new suit of clothes—and thank
you for helping to pay for it.'"—London
Chronicle.
A Woman's Awful Peril.
"There is only one chance to save your
fe and that is through an operation"
were the startling words heard by Mrs.
L. B. Hunt of Lime Itidge, Wis , from
her doctor after he had vainly tried to
cure her of a frightful case of stomach
trouble and yellow jaundice. Gall stone.s
had formed and she constantly grew worse.
Then she began to use Electric Bitters
which wholly cured her. It's a wonder
ful stomach, liver and kidney remedy.
Cures dyspepsia, loss of appetite. Try it.

New York has a Malay Colony.
We have a small number of Malays
and Lascars in the sailors' boarding-house
district, which is situated near the East
and North rivers, down town. The Ma
lays are chiefly Manila men, although
many come from Batavia, Samarang and
Singapore. The Lascars are from India.
They are all so dark as to be taken for
negroes, but their features are Caucasian
and their hair is straight, stiff and wiry.
They are peaceable and orderly up to a
certain point, and then they lose all self
control and generally resort to the knife.
The number varies from fifty to four and
five hundred. They are inveterate smok
ers, and many of them use opium as well
as tobacco.—New York Post.
Sow Death Near.
"It often made my heart ache," writes
L. C. Oversreet, of Elgin, Tcnn., "to
hear my wife cough until it seemed her
weak and sore lungs would collapse.
Good doctors said she was so far gone
with consumption that no medicine or
earthly help could save her, but a friend
recommended Dr. King's New Discovery
and persistent use of this excellent medi
cine saved her life." It's absolutely
guaranteed for Coughs, Colds Bronchitis,
Asthma and all throat and lung diseases.

Letter to W. H. Cramer.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: It is your business to know
what materials to put into a house as
well as to plan it. Of course, you know
the effect of zinc on lead in paint
toughens it. Do you also know the
greater effect of zinc ground in?
For a painter can't grind; he can
only mix. Devoe lead and zinc is
thoroughly ground in oil. The result
is an intimate mixture.
Your painter can only mix; he can't
grind; there's no need of grinding by
hand. He should buy lead and zinc
ground together in oil.
Devoe lead and zinc is that; the pro
portions are right besides. It outlasts
lead and oil two to one, and costs no
more—even less; for hand-work can't
compete with machine- work.
Yours truly,
16 F. W. DEVOE & Co.

Editor Prett:—
The Buffalo & Susquehanna railroad is
now connected with the P. & E., at this
place, and after some ballasting and lining
up is done, will be ready for business. I
have been reliably informed that, the first
regular train, a mixed one, will be placed
in service about Jan. Ist. This road will
be of more benefit and importance to this
place than may at first appear. Not only
will it open up a more convenient avenue
of trade and communication between
Cameron and Potter counties but will also
be of much importance from a commercial
standpoint. Our mills will no longer be
compelled to depend on rain and snow for
a supply of logs, but they can be brought
here by rail—a convenience to the parties
interested. Besides this the lumber
market of western New York will be
more accessible to the Sinnamahoning
valley, the benefits of which is at present
somewhat speculative and must be solved
by future developments, but in all events
our people have just cause for being elated
over the adveut of this new railroad.
Barclay Bros', new bridge, crossing the
First Fork, which was partly built and
damaged by the recent flood is being rap
idly completed and will, when finished,
withstand any ordinary flood without
injury.
Parties desiring to secure first-class
music for the holidays will do well to
consult Pap Blodget and his Zobo band.
Their"selections"have a very s(h)oothing
effect on human nature. There can ex
ist no care or sorrow, rats, cats, dogs or
crying babies when this combination be
gins to toot. Neither would the blowing
of steam whistles and the ringing of
church bells annoy you when this band is
getting in its work on schedule time.
Terms cheerfully furnished on applica
tion.

New Publication.
The revision of a work which has been
before the public for over forty years, and
which has an annual circulation of over
ten million copies in five different lang
uages, is somewhat remarkable. Its veu
erable author here gives the result of half
a century of professional experience iu
perfecting his system of medicine. As a
guide to those who use his Specifics and
valuable hints as to diet and care of the
sick this Manual of 144 pages is admir
ably systemized for the needs of the sick.
We especially notice the unmistakable
professional tone which pervades every
page of the book. This pocket edition
contains a portrait of the author, and the
cover is a beautiful half-tone from an or
iginal model, and will be sent free, postage
prepaid, on recjuest to the Humphreys'
Medicine Company, corner William and
John Streets, New York.

people's patronage, we were met with the cold and most bit- |||)|
ter enmity of the high-priced profit-grasping monopoly, who J|>
fought us, "tooth and nail," both in the open and in the §||j
dark. But we drove, rough shod, over these 100% autocrats
and right from the start victory perched on our low|priced ifl
banner. M
iThis month we shall celebrate our signal mercantile Ip
victory and First Birthday by giving the public, who stood !H
by us so nobly and aided us by their most liberal patronage |lf
