Thk triumphant election of General Hasting is atiiuittetl Iiy the bitterest opponents of our jwrty, but that is no reason w hy al)y 1 Republican sliouM fail to add his vote to the majority. Like the fellow who jK-rsisted in boating the dead lo:, we "want to give them a tate if the future." Skxatok Hiix has awvptetl the IV'iiioeratic nomination fortiovernor of New York, w hich lie so adroitly eausod to lie "forood" uion him. What now will the t'levelatidites and the cuckoos lo who a few weeks since were wearying tlie autumn air with do iiiineiations of liim us a ''traitor" and howling "kick him out of the party?'' The Democratic organs that are vreeping sorely over the bounty paid to the producers of sugar under the Mc- Kinley taritr law, conveniently forget that Congressman Wilson, their great loader and the father of the present tar ill' law, said in his speech in Congress that if it lieeaiue a law it " would put 4o,(K (0,000 in the jiockcts of the sugar trust the first vear." Sknsiki.E workingmen are not gullet! by the flap trap declaration that they are benelitted by the now tariff iiecause they fan buy flothing cheaior than under tiie former law. They know that they pay the old prices when they go to buy. They know also that wages have decreased ami employment is harder to get, and that when a follow lias no money even e heap goods are out of his reach. Jl'lMiFMiAYNoit, who was nominated for Judge of the Court of Appeals, on the ticket with Senator Hill of Now York, has rcfusud to accept the nonil nation. This eliminates every vestige of n-siioetabilitv and honest v from the State ticket, and leaves Hill to "go alone." As Hill's tool Mavnard who stole the State Senate, was lieateu more than one hundred thousand hist year, the desjierate straits of his master in the fanvass may lie conjectured. Xoth ing but the most fearful frauds in the fities fan save New York to the De mocracy this vear. IlASTiNis' tour throughout the State lias become so much like a triumpha march that our brethren of the Demo cratic jK-rsuasion have got a lal scare on them, and fearing total annihilation have laid out a brief campaign for Uro'r Singorly, covering the two la: weeks of the fanvass. We are glad to note this evidence of life in the mori bund Iteiuocrsifv of Pennsylvania. We don't like the idea of hitting a fcl low when he is down and howliu "enough." Mr. Singorly has the cour age of his convictions. He is, and has lieen for years, a consistent and persist ent free trailer, and his jK-rsonal proc lamation of that truth from the stump iv iM help swell the overwhelming nut jority of Jclieral Hastings. t:"i: iK-mocratic eontoiiiporarios are very much stirred up over the canvass leing made by Ceneral Hastings and the enthusiasm in his In-half displayed by the jH-ople throughout the State. Their chief complaint is that the Gen eral will H-rsit in discussing the tariff issue. And why not? The miserable almrtion styled a revenue tariff, jiasstsl by the late Congress, was denounced by Cleveland, who refused l.i sign the bill, and is utterly incapable of defense. Hut it is a Democratic measure in every Mouse, and the stalwart blows dealt it by our candidate for Governor hurts the sensibilities of the cravens who dare not openly eonie to iu defense. Like our Southern brethren during the war, they "want to lie let alone." At the election in Georgia last week. with no Ilcpuhlicaii ticket iu the field. and with only the Populists to put up a fight against the Democracy, there was a terrible slump iu the Democratic ma jority, it being reduced one-lialf or to less than :S),OviO. The Democratic jour nals are oreaiuuuv alarmed and are elaimiugtliat "this don't eouuL" "Just wait until you hear from the Congress ional election: next month." While there is no hojte of gaining Kepuhlicau liK-mU-rs from that State, the election of last week shows that the solid Dem ocratic South is breaking up and that the I'ojMilisU will probably elect sever al members. In fact the Populists claim that they carried the State last week and were cheated out of it bv false counting. l"r to date there has been no liolitic- al work done in this eountv looking to t he election, now less than four weeks i r tm us. i Hero is, However, no mis taking the hot drift of jxilitical senti ment. The people, the farmers, the miners, the sugar produevrs, are not only awake, but are aroused to the fighting pitch. They know and feel that their interests have been sacrificed by the party iu jtower. The price of their roducts are lower than they have ecu for many "year. "Cleveland and dollar wheat" proved to 1 a bald lie ; the duty ou coal has been reduced from 75 to 40 cents per ton ; the Ixtuutr on fugar has lioen abolished and ayiueiit on the -rop of last year is refused, and manufacturing all over the country hits boon crippled and the home market measurably destroyed. Knowing and feeling those things the jioople and not the politician have eharge of thi campaign. Tile liepuhlioati county ti-'ket is eminently satisfactory. It is eoinjvwed of tltc lx-st m it rial and not a murmur is hoard tigainst it. The Congressional and Senatorial caudi- d-tt are as acceptable as arc the conn- J ty candidates and there is not a ripple to disturb the local political stream that is running to assured victory. All that we ask, all that is necessary, is for our friends to get a "gool ready" on them for the day of art ion. Let no voter lag at home liecause of the certainty of success. Let u poll every vote and thus emphasize our detestation of Dem ocratic free trade rule. Xo 1 niter evidence of the scare that has seized ujion the iX-mocratie party can be adducul than the announce ment made by the Democratic press that President Cleveland and Vice Pres ident Stevenson are prewiring to take part in the canvas for the re-election of Professor Wilson, the putative father of the present obnoxious free trade tariff law. Mr. Wilson is just home from England, where he went to assure his Kritish free trade friends that pro tection was dead in this country, and immediately on his arrival his canvass was oiK-ned. That he is to lie sus tained by all the powers and promises of the Administration was well under stood, but the flagrant seuinlal of the President and Vit President logrolling and trying to influence voters at a Con gressional election is most disreputable. During Mr. Cleveland's first term offi cial interference in elections was stren uously denounced and political activity by office-holders was branded as "jier nicious" and made the cause of remov al. Who in Western Pennsylvania doe? not remember that Col. Stone, of Pittsburg, (then U. S. Attorney) was railed upon to resign because he made a political speech? But now this same President promises to take an active part in behalf of the re-election of Mr. Wilson in West Virginia, while his Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith hxs just returned from stumping Georgia. Those farts clearly show the desperation of the Democratic leaders and should incite the lb-publicans of West Virginia to renewed activity. Truly, "times change, and men change with thein." HcKialey in Kansas. In invading the home of Populism Gov. McKinley left Tojieka by sjx-cial train with eleven stopping places scheduled en route. At Lawrence a largo audience awaited the train, and in his speech Gov. McKinley, with apparent reference to Populism, said : "We might as well understand now that one or the other of the Republican or Democratic parties is going to conduct the policy of this gov ernment, and it i for you to determine which one of these partus will conduct the policy of the government in such manner as to liest serve the interest of the people of the United States." At Newton, the last stop, the governor said : "I see liefore me many old soldiers, mem bers of the Grand Army of the Republic. I am glad to welcome them here to-day. We are not only iu favor of prosperity, but the Republican party is in favor of patriotism. What we want here is a lit tle more patriotism and a little loss an archy. We want to reinoinlier that the freedom to make law does not give the freedom to break them. Williams, one of the signers of the Declaration of In dependence, has said: Our blood can better lie spared than our principles ;' and a great New York mercliaiit said: ur goods are for sale, but not our princi ples. What we want is a revival of patrotisni in the I'nited States, and pro tection i a sort of patriotism, for pro tection stands for our country and our Hag." Gaynor i Oat. Judge Gaynor has addressed a letter to Chairman Hinckley declining the nomi nation for judge of the Court ofAiM-als of New York on the Dcinocrai-tio ticket. In the course of hi letter Jude Gaynor say: "Owing nothing to politicians or Hilitical organizations, and rememlieriiig that whatever little I have done to lift govc rniucut up was done as a private citizen. I do not value any oflice as high as to wisll to achieve it against the opjio sition of t!ise whom would lie my friends." Her Letter and Lock of Hair Returned, ('..luinl.us, tia.) F.iiUinT-Snn. In SopteiiilKT, lNt", on the liatilof'iold of South Mountain, near Middleinwn, Md., John Tyler, of Company II. forty-fifth regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, took from the iMH-kct of a dead Confederate soldier a love letter, dated July 3, lstti. written by his athanced. M ho then liver in Richmond county, X. ( '.. and who signed herself "Kate." It inclosed a lock of her hair. Mr. Tyler, who now lives at Columbia, Pa., carefully preserved the letter, mid has long been trying to find the writer. A copy of it was recently sent to the liovenior of North Carolina, who caused it to lie published iu the lo cal papers. This found the writer, "Kate," who is now a widow, and lives at Riverton.

Eastell Convell on Advertising. Pretty much everyUsIy in this country know of Rev. Russell II. Convvell, of the Raptist Temple, at Rroad and Ilerks streets, Philadelphia. Iist night he lec tured lK-fore an immense audi. -nee on the subject of "Five Million Dollars for the Face of the Moon." The titleof the story was very mysterious. Itut it turned out t lie a rover for a dissertation on adver tising, not only the advertising of busi ness, Imt the advertising of everything g-d. It was another form of the injunc tion to let your light shine. Mr. Conwell couldn't find words too strong to express his belief in the usefulness, not to say duty, of advertising, and his lecture showed tht he had some very wise and uaeful idea i on the practical bide of the aubject, both as to busine aud philan thropy. The title of the Ifrture aro'e from the remark once made by a patent medicine proprietor of a pious and cliari table disKisitIin, who, having made a vast fortune by advertising, exclaimed that he would give ftVMV'iiiu for the privi lege of having this inscription placed on the face of the iiimin, "F. O. and A. L," which li-ing explained meant: "Find good and advertise St." Iu the course of hi address Mr. Conwell aaid that adver tising should alwaya be associated with some gotsl thing that the people like. Then he told this story, which he declared is unquestionably true: "Oneof theabloat niemliers of Cougres when he fiegan hi political cartH-r went to the malinger of a newspaper and aid him no much a week to print hi name every day in connection with the report in the paer of wuuegool thing. He kept that up for fbiiryear. and at the end of tliat time he was ho well and favorably known in hi town that he got the Congressional nomination unani mously, was ele-ted, and he may remain iu Congress a long a he live if he xode- siros. Mr. Conwell saiil that he would not give the name of the Congressman, Imt repeated tliat he had heard the story from such a source that !ie pronounced it absolutely true. ll'irrixlmrg Trbysttph.

Judges Are not to Kefns Liqnor licenses Witaont a Cans On Monday, Justice McColluin, of the Supreme Court, in session In Pittslmrg, handed down an opinion in the Hpeal of Hartley Kebniniski from the refusal of the c;nirt of Xorthiiuilierland county to grant him a retail liquor license. Kel iiiiiiiski application was in due form and it was supported by the petition of eighty-live representative citizen of hi district certifying to the necessity of the pbu-e and fitness of the applicant. There was no opiHisit ion to the granting of the license, and the proof was altogether iu favor of it. The Northtimlierland judge thought his discretion in relation to the granting of a wholesale line waa nit the same a in an application for a retail license. In other words, he was of the opinion that the latter might tie arbitrar ily refused. Justice McColluin decided tliat there is no warrant in the law for such a distim-tion as this ud upon the fact the license should have been grant eL The order refusing a license was ac cordingly reversed. LEFT TO THE LEOISLATfRE. Justice Dean reversed the decree of the quarter session court of IUierne county iu the mntter of the petition of the Le high Valley coal company to make roads in Plain township. The coal company presented a petition to the court for the right to make and repair roads under the art of June 12, 1S!1, enabling the tax-payer of townshiiis and road district to contract for making at their own espene the roads, and paying salaries of township and road distrirt otlioers, and thereby preventing the levying and collecting of real tax thereon. The supervisors filed a demurrer to the petition on the goound that tho act waa unconstitutional. It was argued that thia law would lie productive of local result, and therefore is a local law. That is, that some township would take advantage of it provision, while other would work under the old system. It is urged also that the law is unwise and cannot result in the improvement of public roads. Even if this is so the court holds that the legislature and not the Huprcmo court must repeal it. The constitutionality of this act does not seem to lie even douljted. A fa Mot" CASE. The case of Mrs. Annie Endor against Win. J. and Annie Klizalieth Knders, ex ecutor of the l:Ue Win. Knders, ha lioen the talk of the lawyer since the decision of the Supreme Court in favor of the plaintiff. Counsel for the defendant have divided to ask the Supreme Court for re-argument of the case and if this mo tion is denied an apjieal will lie taken. About 1K Annie Knders, the plaintiff, was married to Kiiiauuel Knders, a son of Wm. Knders, and two year after their marriage a son. Win. J. Knders, one of the defendants, was Ixirn to them. At that time they lived at Cornwall, Dauph in county. Two years after tho birth of the son tho wife left her husluind on acv count of alleged ill treatment and failure to support her and with her child took up her home with her father in Dork coun ty. Some month later the father of her husliand railed to see her. Her lsiy was hi only grandson ami he was desirou that he should have a liotter education than his mother could afford him. The auhjert of the lioy's future was discussed between her and both grandfathers and other iiiemlier of the wife's family at this visit. Grandfather Kudent proposed to her if she would permit him to take her son and educate him, the boy to make his home with him until he was of age, but she to lie permitted to visit the chihL to giv e the mother -JM,ikM and the loy Slii.iiui when he came of age. The moth er consented and thereafter the home thelNiy wa with the grandfather, the mother and xon visiting -a-h other fre quently. In l.W, soon after the l"y came of age, the grandfather died, Imt he had not paid, nor had he made any prov isioii by will or otherwise for payment of the W,(S) to the mother. Therefore she brought suit against his executor. She lost in the Dauphin county court. Judge Simontoii deciding that the contract wa against public policy and therefore void. The Supreme Court admit a a general rule that contracts for the surrender of the otistiHly of children by parents are against public policy, but does not find tliat such a coiitrart as this one ha ever I icon declared void or against public Hli cy. In the language of the opinion : "At the time the contract was made the child wa alml two year old ; the moth er wa living with it at her father', apart from her hiislKind; she and the child were dcienleiit on the lioiinty of her father, who was in moderate circumstances. Ol viously, whether this situation wo brought about by marital discord or the father's viciousnes, the future welfare of the helnlos child wa in peril. A de serted or deserting wife without means cannot give much of an advantage in the wav of education and comfort to the child. The grandfather, conscious of this, and being of ample fortune, with a view to his grandson's future and the gratifica tion of his own family pride aud affec tion, proiosed to take the boy, give him a home and educate him. While no sev erance of the maternal relation was con templated, a personal separation waa in volved. Ity the arrangement the grand father cu rod the constant companion ship of the lioy and the mother re! in quished it. No parental duty orobligatioii on part of the mother wa cast off, nor was there any such intention, nor was the arrangement prompUti by self-seeking on the part of the mother ; the proposi tion was made by the grandfather, and she out of regard for the advantage accru ing to the child, reluotantly consented. The grandfather did all he agreed to, the grandson received all the advantages ex peotcd bv the mother. She suffered the deprivation of his constant society for nineteen years; the grandfather enjoyed the pre-ieuce of hi grandson without alienation in affection, tho uuther relin quished the liencfit of hi personal ser vice and comfort derived from a son' jicrsonal attention. I-or this she was to receive tJi,t) when the son came of age. She ha a right to recover it uule the contract wa against public policy." Further along, discussing the sale of a child for money, the Supreme Court says: "Itut this was a family rompsi-t. The pride of the grandfather renU red on the child a hi only living male dcstvndant in whose future there was promise; he wa called by hi name, and without question, lth in blood and affection, he stood near to him. Nor wa hi relation to the child wholly without legal rcspon- siliilitv. Hut we are clearly of the opinion that the tendency of such contracts lietwecn grandparent of good character aud ample estate, and parent in roduoed circumstances, w here parental solicitude and affection arc not to lie ex tinguished and where tho w elfare of the child is Intended to I promoted, as nei ther tj t!iu injury of the public nor to gissl morals." The opinion nn-I;ides as follow: "Tho payment to be made the mothur wa by the e.tntract fix'-l at the m ijority of the hi Id. but th ,'ie never wa a time during its existence that the law would have do- larcd it void as against public policy, be muse it contemplated no severance of the parental relation, no extinguishment of parental solicitude and wa wliolly for the welfare of the child. Such custody, as was necessary to gratify the pride ami affection of the grandfather, and further the ly' edm-ation, was relinquished ; a i-usUtdy, not unlike that w hich she would have surrendered had she placed him in a lioarding school for several years."

Peacefully Away. Bei.lefoxtk, pa,, Oct. 7. Hon. Andrew Orcgg Oirtin, the old war governor 'if Pennsylvania, died thU morning at 5 o'clock. His death wa not only public- but calm, the last vital spark going out after a slo-p of 1 hours, a peaceful ending to the long, useful a;.,' even turbulent public life of thi great and distinguished man. During a part of yesterday the governor would at time liei-oine delirious, iiiu'g iuing there was something he liad promis ed to do and had not yet done and Ixggcd to be allowed to grt up and do it, a he had never yet broken a promise made. To quiet his nervous system it was neces sary to administer an opiate, and under its intluence he sank into a quiet sleep about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, losing all consciousness, and from which he never awoke. The direct cause of the ex-goveruor's death was a general breaking down of his nervous system. It can Is; truly said that there wa more genuine sorrow in Belle foiite to-day over the death of Governor Curt in than was ever liefore known. The funeral has Is-cn set for Wednesday after noon at 2 u'cl-k, interment to be made in Union cemetery in this plai-e. Telegrams of condolence have lieon re ceived from Governor Pattison and Cob A. K. McClurc, editor ofthe Philadelphia 7'iWw, liolh of whom have signified their intention of attending the funeral. Andrew Gregg Curt in was born m Bollofonte, Centre county, April !, 1S15. Hi father, Roland Curt in, emigrated from Ireland in l?.it,and in 1SU7 establish ed near Bollofonte one of the first man u failures of iron in tliat region. Andrew studied law iu the Dickinson College Law school, wa admitted to the liar in IS-CI and soon became prominent. He early entered MiIitios as a Whig. In 1SI Governor Pollock appointed him secretary of the commonw ealth am ex-oflicio superintendent of common schools. In his annual report of 1HV he recommended to the legislature the establishment of normal schools, and hi suggestion was adopted. In IJiD Mr. Cur tin was the Republican candidate for governor, and w as electcs by a large majority. He advocated the forcible suppression of secession, and wa one of the war governor who were most earnest iu the support of the national government. Governor Curtin w as untiring in his ellbrts for the comfort of tho soldiers am beeamo known in the ranks as the "soldier's friend." His health Isgan to fail iu lSil't, and he signified his intention of accepting a for eign mission that had lieen olfcred him a soonis hi term should expire, but in tho meantime he was renominated and re elected. Iu November, Mr. Curtin went to Cutra for his health, and in that year de clined another olfor of a foregn mission. In lsJii) General Grant appoint lid him minister to Russia. He returned homo iu august, 17:2, supporting Horace Greely for the presidency and suliscquently joined the Democratic party, by w hich he wa elected to congress for three suc cessive terms, serving from ISd till ls7, In recent year he had been living a re tired life in Bellefoutc, where he was a conspicuous figure and where his homo was pointed out as one of tiie most in torosling features of that locality. Arrangements for the funeral of ex- Governor Curtin are so far perfected that. at the urgent solicitation of Governor Pat tison, the family have consented to i funeral with nulitarv honors. Governor Beaver will have full charge and there will lie an escort of a regiment of Infantry a troop of cavalry ami 4 battery of artillery with the G. A. R. under command of tho brigade commander. Governor Pattison will attend with hi staff. THE GOVERNOR S EULOGY. In Fitting Words He Reviews the Illus trious Life and Works of Pennsylvania's Dead Statesman. H.vituisiiriio, Oct. 7. Gov.

He was one of the most distinguished in that long line of illustrious men. Dying at the ageof four score years, until lately his eye was not dim nor his natural force abated, and few, if .any, of tho citizens of our SLatc ever maintained so lasting a h il l upon the affection of it people. Native of Pennsylvania he sprang from ara-oof hardy men who left their im press upon its citizenship, and w h; had lieen alike conspicuous in public a (fairs and in the development of the material interest of the Commonwealtli. For more than half a century he wa a member of the learned profession of the law, and though at time hi towering prominence i i politics overshadowed hi fame in an advocate, his legal training during his entire public career was of inestimable advantage to himself and Is-netit to the State. Conspicuous a the possihlo can- didato of his party for Governor as early a s.",t, ho wa appointed Secretary of State to G.iv. Pol lk, and with theexeroisu ofthe ordinary duties of that otlieo he combined the direction ami management of the public school system ofthe State, then in a somewhat formative condition, and which gained great impulse toward its future usefulness from hi wise coun sel. He was a most potent factor in deter mining the political cinditions of the c-.Hiutry during the period of the begin niugaud prosecution of the war for the I'nion, and for six year he discharge-! the diitic of the ollice of Governor to which he had lieou elected and re-elected in a manner that won for him, above all hi onteiiiimrarie, the title of "The War Governor." He wa conspicuously help ful to the Federal government and Presi dent Lincoln, nnd, while always jealous ofthe honor ami regardful of the dignity of his own Commonw ealtli ho aided large ly 1 1 make the part of Pennsylvania in the great struggle second to that of no other State in the I'nion. He waa active in raising and equipping troops, and the splendid organization of the Pennsylva nia reserves was owing to his exertions. He was indefatigable in hi ministrations for the comfort of Pennsylvania soldiers in the field, on the march, iu the camp or iu the hospital. No personal service in this In-half wns too exacting for him to render, and again and again his presence inspired our soldiery aud his sympathy cheered the wive and children ofthe ab sent, and the widows and orphans of those w ho never returned. To him, alioveall others, the State i indebted for the estab lishment ofthe soldiers orphans' schools. and the country owe to him the splendid example of Pennsylvania's care for tie children of her toldicr-dcad. He and his native State were honored b his apMiint incut as Minister l'lenli p itentiary to one of the great powers of K iroK-, and he was eminently successful iu establishing and maintaining the most cordial relations of Russia's great empire with our republic. He sat an honored uiciulicr in the constitutional convention which framed our present fundamental law. He represented with distinction one ofthe principal congressional districts of our State in the House of Representa tives ofthe United States, and w hen ho retired to private life he was followed with the alfectioiiate regard of people of all parties and of every section ofthe Commonwealth of which he has I icon a faithful public representative. His pres ence in every popular assembly, and es pecially on the occasion of military re union, was always the ocMsiou for ven eration of his iniosing and geni il per sonality. His funeral will take place at Belle- fonte. Center county, Pennsylvania,: on Wednesday, October 1, at 2 p. in ' In honor of hi memory and iu roe ignition . of his eminent public service I invoke for hi bereaved family tho sympathy of the people of Pennsylvania, and I recom mend and order that on tho day or his funeral the tings upon the public build ini'siM) displayed half nia-it and that the severn! !"p:.itmciiee ofthe St-ite gov ernment within executive control li dosed upon that day. Marrying Wor'udess Ken. I ask not that a girl iu love wi:h a young 'fellow shall weigh every, siint, writes Kdvvanl W. B ik in the October IjiidoV ilomo Jo.iinol. V. ..u-.'ii ere not crr.'.tod that wr.y, nd love 1 not con ducive to that sort of atl-arj-jn-'l, oMn eyed nro and prudence. But one thing I iloask of her: If she marri-d a woriules follow who ha no business ability with her eyes open, sho must not complain afterward if she find th.u ul! thu other graces of manhood are an naught, in the long run, liefore that one great incom petency in a man. An iiKiniipeteiit busi ness man Is only a shade liotter than a morally deficient man, Imt only a shade. I care not what a young man earns w hen ho asks a girl to marry him if it is only five dollars a week so long a he has a sincere love for hi work and an honora ble determination to succeed in it. The live dollars cr week w ill mum grow into fifty dollars. Point ia School Law. A decision of Judge Livingston, in common plea court in Ijtiu-nster county' will liear very hard on school teachers if accepted as a precedent. In the case of M. P. Miller, a school teacher who brought suit against the school dlstrii-t of I-a:i-Lster tow nship to recover S-VWdam-gos by reason of lieing unlawfully tli missed as teacher tif the Ablieyville school, an elfort was made to prove that he had lieen legally engaged as a teaeher. The court refused to allow him to show that ho had Iwen duly tlei-ted a teacher except by tho minutes of the school Ixmrd. The minutes of the Isiar J were read, Imt, as no record had been made of Mr. Miller's election the court ruled that he had not lieen properly elected, as the law nnpiire an entry to Im made in the minutes of a btmrd to lie legal, ami he. therefore, had no standing in the case. His counsel then showed by the cmnty superintendent that a certificate of elec tion had lieen sent to the county aupenu teiident. as required by law. This, how ever did not change the ruling of the court, and a verdict was given for tho de fendant by thejiirj't Mr. Isaac June, of this place, lias ac cepted the agency ofthe Klmira Roofing Co., New York. This is one of the largi-st and best roofing oomimiiies In existence. Mr. Jones w ill lie at all times prepared to repair or paint metal roofing, or to furnish new rooting of the famous "Climax" brand, the oldest and liest roofing in the market. Hews Items. A jury iu Brooklyn ha given Mrs. AnnaK. Krickson a verdict of fi't,i against the Brooklyn 1 lights Railroad Company for having her foot cut off by one of its cars. Gov. McKinley arrived at St. Paul on Saturday, having made 20 speeches at stopping points 011 the way there from Dos Moines. He spoke to an audience of S,IM1 fieople at Dos Moines.

At Alloona Mrs, Winifred Smith, aged fifty years, died A edmwday from eating load stool in mistake for mushrooms. Thesuppjiseil mushrooms were collected by Mrs. Smith's sou. His mother pre pared them for supper but none of them were eaten by any of the family, although Mrs. Smith drank some of the broth from the stew. The toad stool were eaten by two dogs who died in a little time. Shortly afterward Mrs. Smith was taken ill and grew worse until she died. George Riekart, a farmer living near Frugality, Cambria County, i said to have secured a big lot of honey on Wednesday afternoon. He made a raid on a lcc tree near hi home, a friend from Altoona assisting. Five combs were secured, each seven feet long and ten inches wide at the widest part. In the tree there wa a total of one hundred pounds of honey and it was of a very fine qualitv. Mr. Riekart secured some of the lieos that had made the deposit and he has added them to his domestic stock. One evening last week the wife of Victor Ambuscio, an Italian quarryman. w ho lives in Beaver muuty, presented him with a hoy baby. This was the first Ik iy, 12 girls having had precedence, and naturally Ambuscio wa happy. He grasped an old shotgun, rushed out of doors, tired the piece and ls-ganan Indian snake dance. While prancing about he got too near the edge ofthe precipice and follover. Ho fell feet and alighted on a pile of jagged risks. When picked up, it was found that his head was terribly cut, an arm was broken, his liack wa hurt and one leg wa broken in two places. Although a total wreck, he wa conscious and still singing.
