HERD OF DEER.
Thirteen Fine Specimens Are Win
tering on the Mounttains
Near Trout Run.
A herd ot thirteen deer are winter
ing on the mountains near Trout Run,
and for the past two weeks many peo
ple have made trips to that place for
the purpose of seeing the fleet footed
animals in their wild state, says the
Wellsboro Gazette. These deer have
remained in the Bame vicinity for
about two weeks, and can be easily
seen from the public road that leads
off to the north of the road to Liberty,
about three and one-half miles from
Trout Run. They are generally be
found near Cotton Tail gap. They are
all large, and are exceptionally fine
specimens of the monarchs of the for
est. They are always found in a herd,
and it is not difficult to get within
one hundred to one hundred and fifty
yards of them. It is remarkable how
tame these deers have grown. They
almost seem to be fully aware of the
fact that people are not allowed to dis
turb them, and are frightened but
little at the sight ef a sleigh or vehi
cle. On account of the depth of the
snow, which is over two feet, the an
imals are difficult to see unless by one
who is experienced in finding them.
When standing in the snow they often
appear to be tree stumps, for when
they are aware of the approach of
some one they remain perfectly still
like statnes, and do not move until you
make a noise or frighten them.
Sunday School Tour Party.
The State Sabbath School Tour Party
held seevices in the First Presbyterian
Church, Monday evening and all day
Tuesday, giving delight and profit to
the large numbers in attendance.
Especially inspiring were the songs of
the male quartette, composed of
Messrs Cork, Van Dyke, Landes, and
Sawle. The central theme of the sev
eral addresses was evangelism as ap
plied to Sunday School Work and
highly valuable and convincing were
the points elucidated in the various ad
dresses. A spirit of happy fraternity
characterized all tbe sessions. The
pastors of the different churches par
ticipating by prayers, suggestions and
questions in the deliberations. The
consensus of sentiment as expressed
was that the early coming to Christ of
the child was of the utmost moment
and that efforts to this end should
be untiringly made.
A number of persons from out of
town were in attendance and the in
terest awakened will 110 doubt be of
enduring value.

Mrs. Roosevelt The Standard
Bearer.
It is significant to your readers for
some comment to be made on the mat
ter of the gown worn by the Presi
dent's wife at the inaugural celebra
tion, since this highly honorable and
honored lady has so distinguished her
self, both in loyal patriotism, good
taste and as standard bearer of Ameri
can fashion.
One of the leading New York papers,
on Sunday last, in speaking of this
great inaugural occasion, came out in
glowing terms of Mrs. Roosevelt's per
sonality as the first lady in our justly
prided Union. Her reception gown
was the product of the William Strange
silk mills, of Paterson, N. J., and a
pattern somewhat like it, was seen by
Mrs. Roosevelt at St. Louis Fair, which
gave her dreams of a gown to be worn
on this occasion, and when the fact
was established that she must be the
principle lady to the inauguration of
the President, she wrote to this com
pany and the pattern, so exquisite in
every detail, was made expressly for
her. It is of the most delicate fabric
and tints of azure blue—that clear tint
which holds its own beneath an artifi
cial light and looks as lovely as though
seen by light of day, a lustrous, clear
blue satin which takes on a sheer of
silver in certain lights and folds, and
this added to the wonderful effect of
great discs of softly glittering gold
which were strewn over the satin with
swallows almost innumerable dotting
the gown. Feathers of rare variety
were so affixed to harmonize with the
delicate tint and trimmings as tc
render a magnificent poetic as well as
artistic effect.
In this selection the President's wife
chose our National color, which proves
her patriotism, she chose American
goods and American modists to make
it up, which proves that she is wholly
American, making a standard for all
American women to follow. What is
good enough for our Presidents wife is
surely good enough for any lady in
the land. Mrs. Roosevelt is a woman
of good sound judgment, good taste
and is of true American blood and is
perfectly fitted for the position she so
admirably occupies.

Class Work.
At their regular review Tuesday
evening the ladies of Gladioli Hive, L.
O. T. M., initiated a largeclass of candi
dates, 24 having been secured as a re
sult of special work during February;
the beautiful ritualistic work was ad
mirably put on with full guard team
and was very impressive, this order is
rapidly coming to the front among the
fraternals: our local hive now having a
membership of 150. And expects to
add still more in the near future the
following ladies of Floral Hive, of Port
Aliegany, came over for the special
work and were royally entertained
while here: Mesdames Harriet, Eliza
beth, and Ada Moses, Caden, Healey,
Gallagher, Layman, Bosse, Maynard,
Barnaby, Backus, White, Dolway, St.
Clair, Wrights, Vansickles, Holmes,
Lamhafer, McGovern, Ballingsby and
Miss Gerwick, and Mrs. Leßare, of
Lock Haven.
The Editorial "We" Explained.
An exchange makes the following
explanation: Somebody who wants to
explain what the editorial "we" signi
fies, says its meaning varies to suit the
circumstances. For instance when
you read that "we expect our wife
home today" we refer to the editor
and chief, when it's "we are a little
late with our work" it includes the
whole otflce even the devil and towel,
if "we are having a boom," the town
is meant; "we received over 700,000
emigrants last year," it embraces the
hation, but "we have hog cholera in
our midst" only refers to the illness of
the man who takes the paper two or
three years then ordered it stopped
without paying for it.
The Best Yet.
•Our Opera managers have been for
tunate in securing for to-morrow eve
ning, the 10th, the great play of heart
interest "Dora Thome." Competent
critics who have seen it, pronounce it
the best dramatized novel of the past
few years. It will bo presented with
the original cast and scenery, and will
no doubt duplicate its success in other
cities here.

The Knox Entertainment.
| "The Story of the Scottish Reforma
j tion" given at the opera house last
| Thursday and Friday nights under the
i auspices of the First Presbyterian
J Church—was both instructive and en
| tertaining and well deserved the gen
i erous patronage it received. The
; entertainment was a happy blending
lof lecture recital, stereoptican views
| and acted drama and so skillfully were
these several features alternated as to
hold the attention of the audience for
two and one half hours and eventuate
in a climax that was grand an«l beauti
i ful. The various characters were in
capable hands. Each gave evidence
of an intelligent grasp of his part, im
parting to it a meaning that was full
of interest. Mr. McCaslin was very
impressive and convincing as the
Great Reformer while Miss Ritchie
brought to the character of the unfor
tunate Queen the grace and beauty,
the self possession and deep devotion
that her difficult part demanded. The
costumes were costly and beautiful,the
various groupings, bathed in the rich
radiance of the calcium lights, pre
senting pictures of loveliness not soon
forgotten. The stereopticon views,
chiefly of a historical character were
distinct and satisfying while the dis
criptions and explanations by Mrs.
Monroe were beautiful in diction and
eloquent and forcible in delivery. The
vocal solos by Misses Walker and
Ilogan and Mr. Walker were pleasing
ly sung, while the choruses were ex
ceedingly well rendered.
Miss Abbie Metzger presided the
piano with characteristic ability. In
the processional she had the artistic
assistance of Miss Walker on the
violin. So far from engendering sec
tarian bitterness, the effect of the en
tertainment has been to promote amity
and good will between the various de
nominations and lead to a better under
standing of the differenccss that
honestly divide them.
The Gas Stove.
The use of gas stoves, without chim
neys, is productive of unhealthy con
ditions within any room subjected to
their influences. The New York Tri
bune says that they deplete the oxy
gsn in all cases to an injurious degree.
Having no chiminey, for the most
part, they turn the product of com
bustion into the air of the room. At
best this is oarbon dioxide, a natural
gas, which taking the place or the oxy
gen, deprives the atmosphere of its
life giving power. Perhaps through
imperfect combustion carbon mono
xide is produced, which is a power
| fully active poison. The lack of a
chimney means the lack of any circul
ation in a close room. An open fire
place, or even a coal stove, causes a
circulation of air. Even with doors and
windows shut, a large amount of heat
ed air is drawn up the flue and fresh
air is pulled in through cracks. A
heater which requires combustion in
a room with no vent for the vitiated
air is an enemy to breath, should be
avoided whenever possible, and should
no more be left lighted at night in a
sleeping room than should tha char
cal brazer, which is a favorite French
instrument of suicide. The ordinary
gas heater menaces life by another
danger. It is commonly connected to
the gas pipe by a more or less leaky
tube, not infrequently, either by the
strain upon the connections or by actu
ally blowing flames, filling houses with
poisonous unburned gas Citizens
need to be greatly on their guard
against the dangers in the trail of the
j gas pipe.

Bowling Match.
A contest between Coxy's Army and
| The Invincibies, iast Monday night re-
I suited in a victory for the Invincibies.
I The contest was a short one, two games

| fearing the night air would be bad for
! the boys, so started them home early.
; Coxy's Army say it was because of
j their possibility of winning, but, no
doubt, the parties of war differ.

The Observer.
It was the privilege of the Observer
to attend a number of the sessions of
the Institute held under the direction
of the State Sunday School Associa
tion in the Presbyterian Church this
week. The Observer must confess
that he went with some misgivings be
cause it was understood that the
speakers would lay great stress upon
the subject of evangelistic work in the
Sunday schools. "Evangelistic" is in
itself an excellent word, one which
should always savor of glad tidings,
but unfortunately in the minds of many
it is associated with the emotional ex
cesses and lurid appeals which in times
past have attended revivals. The ex
pression, "evangelistic work in the
Sunday schools," seemed, moreover,
to imply that the children of the Sun
day school most of whom are baptized
members of the Church, are to be re
garded as children of the world and of
the devil until such time as they may
be brought to pass through a certaiD
crisis termed conversion. Great there
fore was the relief and satisfaction of
the Observer when he discovered that
the Institute had in mind the inaugu
ration of no such crusade as this upon
the children. The whole spirit of the
Institute was in keeping with the as
sumption that the children are the
lambs of Christ's flock to be carefully
fed and nurtured in a Christian atmos
phere. If this kind of work be "evan
gelistic," we cannot have too much of
it.
* *
One of the speakers made an appeal
to the parents to surround the child
ren with good literature in the homes-
He rightly contended that the only ef
fective way to prevent children from
reading bad literature is to cultivate
in them a taste for what is good. In this
connection, the Observer desires tout
ter an emphatic protest against the ad
mission to our homes of the comic sup.
plements of the Sunday editions of
many of our newspapers. These gro
tesque pictures of tramps, foxy grand
pas, and precocious, tricky youngsters,
not only deprave the aesthetic taste of
the young boys who gloat over them,
making them incapable of appreciat
ing i ictures of real artistic merit; but
they also instil in those who look at
them the spirit of disrespect and con
tempt. These pictures of the yellow
journals invariably represent some
body as playing a trick upon somebody
else, or as outwitting somebody else.
The type of humor to which they ap
peal is that which laughs at the igno
minious plight of another or that
which finds delight in the grotesque
and ugly.
One expects the New York World
and American and the Philadelphia
North American to publish such dis
gusting supplements, but it has al
ways been a mystery to the Observer
why such a clean and reliable and dig
nified paper as the Philadelphia Press
should nevertheless publish such an
offensive and harmful section of its j
Sunday edition.

Mrs. H. M. Norria died at the Kane
Summit Hospital Tuesday morning at
4:30 o'clock. Deceased had® been ill
since the first of the year, suffering
from tubercular troubles She oame
to Kane from Marlington, West Vir

climate would not prove beneficial.
Everything that medical skill could
devise was done, but without avail.
Nellie Sweeney was born at Olean,
N. Y , and came to Kane when quite
young, where she resided the greater
part of her life. She was a favorite
with all with whom she was acquaint
ed; of a geuial disposition, and was
ever ready to help her friends. She
was married to Mr. H. M. Norris in
September, 190'2. Mr. and Mrs. Norris
moved to Shinglehouse soon after they
were married, from which place they
went to Marlington, West Virginia
Mrs. Norris is survived by a husband,
an infant son, aged about eight
months, four brothers and two sisters

A Divorce to Ten Marriages.
During 1904, twenty-three libels in
divorce were issued in Clinton county.
During the same period there were 230
marriage licences issued. This shows
that for every ten marriages performed
there was one application for divorce.
This needs no further comment. If
divorces continue to increase as they
have for the last; few years, marriage
will soon be a farce. Right minded
people from ail parts of the country
are becoming aroused and are demand
ing some decisive legislation to stop
the terrible menace to the home.
