Great Slaughter of Copper Heads.
Snakes almost innumerable are giv
ing the men employed on the construc
tion of the West Branch Valley railroad
eansiderable trouble. According to
the Clearfield Journal, copperheads are
most numerous and almost as plenty
as negroes or Italians. Bert Gressemyer
who boards at the Mansion house, visits
the camps at Shawsville and Deer
Creek, and in two visits in one week
lie killed fifty-one of these snakes. In
a distance of a half mile from the main
road to W. B. Hughes's camp he killed
seven, and "Billy" Hughes, being
skeptical, went along the route and
counted them and confirmed Gresse
niyer's statement. The blasting has
started them 011 the move and the man
or woman who travels along the route
and does not see a dozen or more is a
back number. The gangs of laborers
have each one of their number they
call tha "snake foreman" whose duty
it is to keep a look out for these veno
mous reptiles and protect the men at
work. The snake foreman, it is said, of
a Deer Creek gang, killed and piled 102
in two days, and who has witnesses
who saw and counted them. These, in
some cases have been thrown in the
river and people living along the stream
are protesting as some cattle drinking
frbm the river have been poisoned and
died. The state board of health should
bo notified at once before human life is
endangerod by the pollution mention
ed.
Should Have Lower Rates.
The question of railroad excursion
rates to the Pan-American grows more
pressing as the season advances. It is
impossible to make people accept the
railroad managers' contention that
rates are now reasonably low, when
they are much higher than the excur
sion rates to Buffalo and Niagara Falls
which have prevailed in former seasons.
People argue that by refusing to visit
the fair at the higher rates they will
eventually force a reduction. Conse
quently, many are staying away.
This is as injurious to the railroads as
it is to the Fair. They have their roads
and their equipment. The Fair gives
them an opportunity to use both to the
fullest capacity all summer. It would
cost them no more to run their trains
when filled with passengers than to
run them half filled. The profit would
be much greater. And the Exposition,
in which the railroads are all directly
interested, wouid thrive on their liber
ality. Why cannot the railroads meet
the popular expectation in this matter?

Great Musical Treat.
Buffalo is to have a grand-opera sea

An Important Decision.
Ashland Telegram: A case stated
was presented to his honor in which it
was shown that the county treasurer
withheld from Schuykill Haven the
sum of $54 40 as commission on the
amount of liquor license due that
borough and paid the same into the
treasury for the use of] the county
Judge Shay, in a brief opinion, holds
that the money was unlawfully retain
ed, and entered judgement in favor of
the borough for the amount with in
terest. This is an important decision
and means that every borough and
township in the county must be reim
bursed by the county for the amounts
withheld by the county treasurer during
the past six years, amounting in all to
about $12,500.
Letter to Judge Brennan.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: Congressman Belden, of
Syracuse, painted his Thousand-Islands
cottage in "92 with Devoe; and painted
it again in '99, with the same, of
course. Takes 80 gallons.
"What! does it last only seven
years?" Depends 011 what you paint
for. No one can tell how long a job of
paint is going to last in any particular
case. The paint may last ten years
and the color five.
A summer cottage is painted for
color, of course; it is also painted to
keep out water, to keep it from rotting.
Seven years is a good long time for
paint to look fresh —depends 011 the
color though; some colors last longer
than others. Three is too long for some
of the prettiest colors. Nothing pays
j better, in building a house, than a
I good job of paint; and nothing pays
; better, in keeping it up, than repaint
| ing as soon as the paint shows signs of
I impairment. But this is to keep it
sound. For the looks, you may paint
lit whenever the freshness is oil". It's a
j matter of color; not of paint.
Yours truly,
42 F. W. DEVOE & Co.
Charles Johnson, aged 42, was found
dead to-day in a clump ofbushes along
the public highway not over six
hundred feet from the First National
bank, at Kane yesterday. The dis
covery was made by a boy, who im
mediately notified the authorities, and
the coroner is now investigating.
A Definition of Worship.
The late Robert G. Ingersoll gave the
following definition of the word '•wor
ship," which is worth committing to
memory:
To do justice, to defend the right, to
be strength for the weak, a shield for
the dflenceless, to raise the fallen, to
keep peace between neighbors and na
tions. This is worship.
Work is worship. Labor is the best
prayer. To fell the forest, to subdue
the earth; to delve in mines for the love
of woman. This is worship.
To build a home, to keep a lire on the
hearth, to fill with joy the heart of her
who rocks the cradle of jtour child.
This is worship.
The poor boy ships before the mast —
comes home and puts within his moth
er's hand a purse snatched from the
peril of the sea. This is worship.
The poor widow working night and
day keeping the fatherless together,
bearing every burden for the love of
babes. This is worship.
The sad and weeping wife stays with
and bears the insults of a brutal hus
band for the sake of little ones. This
is worship.
The husband, when his wife is pre
maturely old with grief and pain, sits
by her bed and holds her thin, wan
hands as rapturously and kisses them
as passionately as when they were
dimpled. This is worship,
The wife clings to the husband fallen,
lifts him from the gutter of degrada
tion, holds him to her heart until her
love makes him once more a man. This
is worship.
The industrious father, the toiling,
patient mother, practice every self-de
nial to educate their children—to lift
them with loving pride above them
selves. This is worship.
And when such children are ashamed
of such parents because they are home
ly and wrinkled and ignorant—this is
blasphemy.
The boy with his mother's kiss warm
on his lips fights for his native land
fights to free his fellowmen—dies by
his guns. This is worship.
He who loves worships.
Why Some Towns Die.
More towns die for want of confi
dence on the part of the business men,
and lack of public spirit, than from the
rivalry of neighboring towns or adverse
surroundings. When a man in search
of a home or business location goes to a
town and finds everything brimful of
hope and enthusiasm over the pros
pects of the hope and everybody at
work to build up the town, he soon be
comes imbued with the same spirit,
and as a result he drives down his stake
and goes to work with the same interest,
says an exchange. When, however, he
goes to a town and every one expresses
doubt and apprehension, in the future
prosperity of the place, moping about
and indulging in complaints about the
imaginary evils which are likely to be
fall the town, he naturally feels it is no
place for him, and at once shakes the
dust from his feet, while he pulls with
all possible speed for some other town.
Consequently, try and make a live, en
terprising progressive town out of the
one in which you live. When you are
working for or saying a good thing for
your own town, you are accomplishing
all the more for yourself.
What the Bicycle has Done.
A Southern legislator, in advocating
the passage of a bill favoring cyclists,
delivered himself of the following in
teresting passage:
"If the history of the good the bicycle
has done should be written in its fullest
form, with all the details of each in
dividual recited as they are in law
books, it would fill more volumes than
are found in a law library. It has cured
tens of thousands and helped hundreds
of thousands of others of a variety of
ailments that range over nearly the
entire list known to medical practice.
It has coaxed the sedentary into the
open as nothing else could. It has
taken the narrow minded abroad and
taught them to love nature. It has
been a mode of free transit from the
tenements to the woodland for those
who were ignorant of pastoral loveli
ness. It has educated the farmer and
statesman up to the economy of good
roads and resulted in the improvement
of thousands of miles of highways. It
has taken our boys from the saloons
and our girls from the gossip circle. It
has given them joy and healthful exer
cise and improved their preceptives in
a way that will result in a healthier and
nobler posterity."
An exchange says that if the farmers
would follow these instructions they
need never goto any expense to dehorn
their cattle. Buy a five cent stick of
potash, and when the little horns make
the first sign of starting on the calves,
wet them over with this caustic stick,
and the calf will never know that
nature intended that it should have
horns.
