JUDGES SEALING UP FAMILY JARS.

Dances and Ficnic&
GRANDPARENTS MOST KEEP A CHILD
The dene crowd of curious people who
resort every Saturday to the Quarter Ses
sions sitting in order to witness the laving
of family linen, chafed yesterday for an
hour and a half while convicts were being
disponed of. Finally what some thought
might hae been done in the first place was
ordered the court was divided, Judge Mc
Glung and Assistant District Attorney
Goehring retiring to room Ifo. 2.
The first case called was that of Sarah
Baker vs E. "W. Baker. This was a case of
overbaked family bread. The wife has
been trying to support herself by keeping
boarders at Demmler. The husband's de
fence as that Mrs. Baker had gone to a
picnic against his will and stayed out
until after 9 o'clock and he locked
her out of the house. The
hearing seemed to be in some way connected
with the political campaign in Ohio, as a
witness testified that there was a tin plate
factory at Demmler and that the defendant
worked at it It appeared that Baker had
been floored on the occasion of his wife's
return from the picnic, one side
holding that it was a knock-down
and the other a fall-down. It
teemed, however, that the boarders sided
with Mrs. Baker, and the result was that he
, went out of the house that night a badly
used up man.
Mr. Baker testified that Mrs. Baker was
incorrigible; ran to picnics and neglected to
care for her child; ran to picnics and re
fused to allow him to accompany her, say
ing the would be ashamed to take him
along. He said he was willing to support
Sarah, but she wanted him made to support
herseparately. Mr.Bakermnst pay costs and
keep the latch string out hereafter for Mrs.
Baker, or both of the parties must try their
luck in the divorce court.
ALMOST KILLED THE POET.
Frank Skiles was arraigned charged by
Charles Vandervort with surety of the peace.
He said the defendant, Skiles, amused him
self by follow ing the prosecutor from a
Baptist church in Franklin township and
using obscene language in the presence of
ladies and this finallr led to a breach of
the ceace. The defendant, according to his
story, was m a poetical or rather rhyming
frame of mind on the evening of the 27th of
September, when the trouble occurred.
Skiles said that as he passed Vandervort and
his female companions, he, Skiles, said to
another "Good night, Ike, sleep tight, "and
Vanden ort took offense and knocked him
down. Skiles' hat was offered in evidence
to show that prosecutor had kicked it al
ntost to smithereens, and the result was
a case of law at first sight It was tolera
bly evident that someone had been guyed
in presence of his best girl, and that offense
cannot be tolerated in the rural regions. A
witness was finally put up bv the prosecu
tion who testified that he had heard Skiles
insult a ladv, and m church, too, which D.
K McGunnegle, an eminent criminal ,
authority, says raises the grade to first de
gree, ihe verdict was a division ot the
costs and a recommendation to both parties
to cultnate the olive hereafter.
The Commonwealth vs William Harris
was a case which will open the eyes of
parents. They cannot only be forced to
look after their children, but an act of the
Legislature makes them responsible for the
care of their grandchildren. Harris' son
married a girl some two years ago
who is still two years under 'age,
and she has a three-months-old baby.
The Anti-Cruelty Society brought
suit to compel the grandfather
to support the child. Harris is a middler.
and is at work, but is nearing the boundary
where age will compel him to forego such
heavy work. He admitted that he had ac
cumulated some 55,000 or 56,000 worth of
real estate, but objected to paying his
daughter-in-law for keeping the infant,
choosing rather to adopt it himself, but
he will have to pay $1 BO per week
to his daughter-in-law nntil her baby is
able to live on solid food, when she will be
obliged cither to care for it, make its father
do so, or allow the god-father to adopt it
In the case of a woe-begone looking
yonng man, who appeared to have
made a misfit marriage, he was al
lowed to go on agreement to give
his wife a liberal part of his 57-a-week
earnings even though she refuses to live'
with him. It was his own offer and he
looked as though he was willing to make
almost any sacrifice for peace. The case
has been before the court before.
MR. BLAKTE'S LETTER.
Served to Kecall That He, Not Harri
son, Originated Reciprocity.
A POINT YEEY CLEARLY MADE.
SHE AND HEB TRUNK PITCHED OUT.
Maggie Smith testified that her husband,
George Smith, had put her out of the house
a few weeks ago. He had followed her to a
surprise party at Turner Hall, Allegheny,
and when she cams home she found her
trunk set outside the door, and then was
fired herself as she alleged. This is not
their first rupture, and B C. Christy elicited
the information that Smith made up with
his wife some time ago on express condition
that she abstain from attending miscellane
ous picnics. A woman witness testified that
Mrs. Smith's female companion at the
Turner Hall surprise party "had a good
many beers in her, and talked very
vulgarly. The couple are young and have
not been married two yea'rs. The Court
once relieved Mr. Smith of his obligation to
support Mrs. Smith, but he again put his head
in the noose and Mr. Goehring insisted that
smith s remedy Jay in the dlvource court
The Judge was severe in his strictures on
Mrs. Smith, but nevertheless directed her
husband to pay her 2.50 per week.
By this time the accumulation of babies
was so great that A.V.D."Watterson, coming
in suddenly, mistook the courtroom for a
baptistry. When one mtant set up a
squall another and another would follow
suit, until the officers grew weary of their
lives, and at 1:40 p. ai. the court threw up
the sponge for a eek.

tTBOM A STAFF CORBKSPOXBEVT.l
"Washington, Oct 17. Gentlemen in
official life here, who, while recognizing
Secretary Blaine as a great statesman, also
know that he is an exceedingly smart poli
tician in the narrower sense of the word,pro
fess to 6ee a double purpose in the letter of
Mr. Blaine to an Ohio inquirer in regard to
his position on the McKinley bill "While
Mr. Blaine was doubtless glad of the oppor
tunity to state his exact feeling touching
the tariff bill, he certainly took equal pains
to recall to a forcetful people that it was he
who forced upon the McKinley bill as it
came from the House the reciprocity meas
ure which was affixed in the Senate.
This neat letter of the great statesman
politician is appreciated here, possibly
more than outside of the capital, where it is
known better than has been described how
indnstriously President Harrison has at
tempted to transfer to himself the credit for
the reciprocity movement which rightfully
belongs to Mr. Blaine. Correspondents of
Harrison newspapers have been coached to
iterate and reiterate that all the time when
Blaine was talking reciprocity at Congress
and the country Harrison was modestly be
hind him furnishing him with all the ideas.
NO TVOBD OF PEAISE FOE BLAINE.
In Mr. Harrison's speeches during his
long Southern and "Western tour he con
stantly vaunted his devotion to reciprocity
without once uttering a word of praise for
the enthusiasm and labor of Mr. Blaine for
the reciprocity scheme. Especially during
the Secretary's absence a persistent and
methodical purpose has been evident, and
during that absence it must be admitted
that the President industriously has at
tempted to carry out wherever possible the
plans carefully mapped out years ago by
Mr. Blaine. The letter of the Secretary to
his Ohio friend, who kindly made exactly
the inquiry that was wanted, therefore
causes a good deal of amusement here.
The letter has also aroused anew discus
sion in regard to the return of Secretary
Blaine, and the opinion is again seriously
advanced that he will return only to resign,
and that his resignation is only postponed
till the elections are past, that no diverting
subject may be introduced into the campaign.
SIGNIFICANCE OF BLAINE'S SILENCE.
It is known that there has been little com
munication, and that only of the coldest
and most formal character, between the Pre
sident and Mr. Blaine since the latter began
to be so conspicuously boomed as a candi
date for the Presidency. Ifo utterance from
the "White House has encouraged the return
of Mr. Blaine. His purpose to return the
1st of October was suddenly abandoned,after
it was positively announced that he would
come.
Mr. Blaine could, with the word, have
stopped all the rumors of a break with the
President by simply announcing an approxi
mate date for his return, but he steadily re
mained silent
Of course, the assumption of a rupture
which would lead to the Secretary's resig
nation mav be violent, but there is some
thing very peculiar in the complexion of
things. At any rate, this expression of the
serious belief of some very prominent peo
ple will heighten curiosity.

THE SOUTHSIDE
LOOKS PROMISING.
AFTER A THOUGHT
YOUIiIi AGEEE IT IS SO.
The natural advantages which the
Southside merchants have over
their downtown competitors make
"A LARGE BUSINESS POSSIBLE."
Pure air and perfect drainage, being
important factors in the selecting
of a home, make the "Highlands"
preferable, as only there can these
necessary adjuncts to health and
happiness be found. These are the
facts that do and will continue to
increase the population south of the
Monongahela to a wonderful de
gree. The running expense of a
business, such as rents, etc., being
a deal less on the Southside than
down town, gives us a mighty ad
vantage over down-town merchants.
In plain words, we can "undersell
them." As a result of .this under
mining in prices, we are drawing
trade from the city proper since
the electric cars bring people to
jur door in ten minutes.
The DRAyiNG cards for this
week are as follows:
2,000 yards of fine Maple City
Dress Flannels (good for school
wear) at 31c, worth 40c.
1,800 pieces of full length Cur
tains, pattern to match, 39c a

5,000 yards extra wide Colored
German Calicoes (in blues) at
5j4c worth 10c.
2,500 yards of wool half dol
lar dress stuffs at 360.
The latest styles in Ladies',
Misses' and Children's Coats an
immense assortment. Lots of
money saved in this department.
200 Ladies' ready trimmed Fur
Felt Hats at $1 65, worth $1
MORE.
2 cases of Men's Heavy Sky Blue

A good many who never did look well In a
narrow brim hat, hail with delight the ad
vent of a wide-brim Dorby. Ours, whloh we
have named the "Metropole." differs from
the others now before the public in having
the brims cut somewhat narrower, and
therefore neater. This change rescues It
from the clumsiness which characterizes
full brims in general. We show them in
four different helghtB and width of brims,
which enables us to suit any and every kind
of a face. Our new shade of brown, la
whloh they also come, has been voted "PER
