of the water. But notwithstanding the
low stage of the water in Cox's creek,
there has been little complaint from far

they would require very little attention.

Three Perioni Affected After Ealing Corned
Beef.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Rudolph Hoover and son Edward are
congratulating them upon their em-ape
from death on Sunday last, Mr. Hoover
is a well-know n coal baron and lives with
his family iu Somerset township. Sat
urday afternoon he visited A u man's ine-.it
market and purchased several pounds of
home-cured "corned beef." The follow
ing noon the Hoovers ate the beef for
lunch and immediately thereafter started
to attend religious services iu tbe Metzler
Church, near by. Before they reached the
church, father, mother and son were all
seized w ith violent cramps in the stomach
and were compelled to return home.
Dr. Kimmel was sent for and uon ex
amination found that his three patients
were suffering from what seemed to lie
poison. An emetic was promptly admin
istered and when the sufferers had reliev
ed their stomachs of the irritating food
they began to improve, although they re
quired the attention of the physician for
several hours. Mr. Hoover is contideut
that the sickness of himself aud family
was caused by the corned lieeC
George A u man, at whose meat market
the corned tieef was purchased, laughs at
the idea of its W'ing poisonous, and says
that if it had contained any poisonous or
un wholesome sutislance, a large number
if people, including several of the best
known families in town, would have
lieen affected, since they bought and ate
of the same lot of beef. He is willing to
stake his reputation on the purity of the
beef sold to Mr. Hoover, if a sample,
which he still retains in his refrigerator,
is not pronounced perfectly holjome,
after a chemical analysis.

. ('KlMINAl. MST.
The criminal calendar contains forty-
three cases, a large majority of which are
of a very trivial character. The first case
called for trial was one in which Jonas
Romesberger figured as defendant and
Catharine Wiltrout, a child of some fif
teen years of age, as prosecutrix. The
verdict of the jury was "nit guilty."
David Gerhard acknowledged himself
to tie the father of an illegitimate child,
of which Ella Hyatt is the mother. The
Court imposed the usual sentence.
In a case against Joseph Shultz, charg
ed by Joseph B. Miller with assault and
battery, and in the one against Emanuel
Bowser, charged by Tracy F. Hoffman
with F. A B., the District Attorney filed
papeis of settlement.
The case of the Commonwealth vs. E.
K. Hum A Co., of Pittsburg, dealers in
lightning rods, was next called for trial.
This case excited more than ordinary in
terest on account of the legal points in
volved. The prosecution was brought
under au act of assembly passed iu the
forties to prohibit hawking and peddling
iu Schuylkill couuty, and was afterwards
extended so as to cover Somerset and a
number of other counties in Pennsylva
nia. The defense set up was that the
lightning rod man does not come under
the category of a hawker, peddler or
traveling merchant, but that his business
is profierly that of a contractor, inas
much as he does not sell lightning rods
alone but places them upon buildings,
and they thus become part of tho real
estate, lawyers Reed, of Beaver, and
Pugh, of Somerset appeared for the de
fendants and the former made a very
clear and logical argument to the Court
on the law of the case, Iu his remarks
to the Court Mr. Reed contended that the
lightning rod business is one requiring
skill aud intelligence since It is every
where recognized that electricity is one
of the most powerful and useful elements,
but is also one that must be scien
tifically governed and applied if it is to
be made useful, and that it does not come
under the act of assembly which it was
sought to apply in the issue at
trial. He contended' that if tbe light
ning rod man is a hawker and peddler,
then all sorts of mechanics who travel
aWiut the country improving and repair
ing property are deprived of earning an
honest livelihood.
Mr. Holbert appeared with thedistnct
attorney and preseuted the case for the
Commonwealth. After With sides had
been fully heard Judge Longenecker de
cided that Hum A Co., had cMiimitted no
offense under the Act of Assembly under
which the bill of indictment was drawn
and that the only question for the jury to
decide was one of costs. Messrs. Reed
and Holbert made brief arguments before
the jury, wheu a verdict was returned
placing the costs upon the prosecutor
Elmer Zerfoss.
Win. F. Carpenter, the proprietor of a
hotel at Ben's Creek, close to the
Cambria county line, was indicted for

sult being a verdict of guilty. The trial
on the second charge is going on as we
go to press. Carpenter was granted a
tavern lb-enseat the February sessions ot
court, which will proliably be revoked as
a result of his conviction. There is a
third prosecution hanging over him, the
charge being keeping a disorderly bouse,

Cultirate Tour Child's Teacher.
The first thing to do is to visit the
school which your children attend. Make
a point of this, even if it means a, sacri
fice of something else, writes Edward W.
Bok in an article on "Our Schools and
Our teachers," in the Septemlier Laheif
Hume Junrnitl. Few things can be more
important than to see for yourself the
surroundings of your child during school
hours. Oliserve quietly yet keenly, but
remember that any oloervalions or com
ments you have to make, the teacher of
the class in which your child happens to
be is not the proer ieron to w boiu to
make them. The priclpal of the school
or the superintendent is the proper func
tionary for such purposes. Tbe teacher
is helpless; she must accept conditions as
she finds them. She is an employe, pure
and simple. But seek her out and win
her acquaintance and confidence. Show
her that you mean to co-operate with her.
She know that the best results can only
be obtained when teacher aud parent co
operate. Invite her to your home not in
a general way, but at a definite time.
Make her feel that you want her to be
something more than the teacher of your
child. Make a friend of her if you can;
at least give her the opportunity to show
that she has another side to her nature
than that which she thows in tbe class
room. The teacher's burden is a heavy
one rather than a light one.
State Agrienltnrists Object to Being Legis
lated Ont of Office.
The state Wiard of agriculture at its an
nual meeting in Harrisburg next Janu
ary will atlopt measures to prevent it
from being legislated out of existence.
The act enacted by the last legislature
creating the department of agriculture
seeks to aWilish the board by retiring
one-third of its membership annually.
The law was loosely drawn aud its pro
visions are so contradictory that mem
bers of the Wiard claim it is nugatory and
cannot be eutorced so far as it relate to
that body.
The general appropriation bill appro
priates S2.0II0 to the Wiard for the next
two years with the proviso that "no va
cancy in its memliership shall hereafter
be tilled." Attorney General McCor
inick has notified Secretary Edge that
members of the board cannot tie allowed
their expenses out of this appropriation
for attendance upon the annual meetings
if they fill vamncioa in the meuilwrship
as they exist. The Wiard will proliably
refuse to accept the appropriation and re
ceive new members at its annual meetings
in IV. Hi and 1V7 and then go before the
next legislature and endeavor to secure
the enatment of a law to keep it intact
and authorize it to receive the appro
priation. Hake Tonr Will.
Everyone who owns more than the
clothes on his back should make a will.
There is a notion sometimes, that you
will die soon if you make your will, but
that is mere nonsense and superstition.
Some men dislike to bring the thought of
death so closely and practically before
their minds, but that is weakness. What
is the use in blinking and closing one's
eyes to the great universal fact? Iieiith is
certain, and the most wise and most sen
sible thing is to provide against it as far
as we can. A will makes your mind
easy. It saves disputes, quarrels and
much expense after you are gone. Ik
your duty to your family, if you have
one, men remember the poor and the
church of God, aud those who have just
claiiMx uMin you. You can chango it at
any time if desirable, while the know 1-
edge that it is attended to will conduce to
a longer life. Make your will.
Hard for Tonng Physicians.
The state medical coo noil met at tho
department of internal affairs on Mon
day to arrange for the Fall examinations
of applicants for licenses to practice med
icine and surgery in Pennsylvania and
to consider the question of the prelimin

of the council provide that licenses shall
lie issued to all graduates of reputable
medical colleges who make an average of
seventy-live before the state examinii.g

the preliminary education.
The rules will lie changed so as to pro
vide that after the expiration of fouryears
all applb-ants must have lieen graduates

Bemarks Mad at the Funeral of Xrs. A.
J. Colborn By Her Pastor.
On Wednesday, the lsth, death came
with the morning and took from our
midst one of the most lovable spirits of
Somerset, that of Susan Hartzell Colborn,
wife of Hon. A. J. Colborn.
Mrs. Colborn had not been well for a
long time, but was seriously ill only a few
days. Seeing that the end was not far
away the members of the family were
called home and all were at her bedside
watching, when death came. .
All arrangements for tbe burial ser
vice, even to the minutest detail, had
been carefully arranged by her before
her death and were carried out. She
should be shrouded in w hite, tho casket
should lie gray, the song should lie "Je
sus Iverof My Soul," the scripture, tho
twenty-third Psalm, the prayer to lie of
fered by Rev. II. King, a short talk by
her pastor, then her six sons should
bear "their little mother" to the ceme
tery, lower her into the grave, while
Asleep In Jesus" was being sung, and
tho last aad services would lie done.
On Friday the 2nth, we met witha great
number of the friends of the decased and
family, to carry out these arrangements,
11 made more than ten years ago. Not
one detail did we think could Is? omitted.
So kind, so gentle, so true, so sensitive to
tbe wishes of others, that each wish of
hers seemed as the voice of conscieiu-e.
All felt a sadness ; for not only were all
touched with sympathy for tho children
hearing a casket with such a precious
jewel. Wit each had a sadness of his or
her own, for there is scarce a home iu
Somerset where she had not at some time
come as one of earth's fair angels.
The words of her pastor were as fol
lows :
We have come to-day, friends, to pay
our last tribute of respect to one w hom
we all knew but .to love. For seventy
years and more she has appeared to us iu
this Wsly which we t-day consign to
earth to mingle with its kindred dust.
In these seventy years she has sustained
relationships common to the lot of that
womanhood that shirks no duty.
Born April 22d, 1825, and married April
14th, 1845, to A. J. Colboru.she shared the
burdens and the joys that come to every
such union. She was tho mother of eight
children, all yet living, and who gladly
tell how well she performed the part of a
mother. For fifty-six ye?rs she has been
a memlier or tne i nurcn oi i nrisi, al
ways faithful and devout, doing her duty
here as few do.
As a friend she was constant and true.
Now we come to the parting of the ways.
This companion, mother and friend must
finish this journey alone. Wo go on a
few more leagues, then we too must follow
her alone. Alone, did 1 say? No, not
lone, unless our faith is vain.
In the parting there is always a sad
ness; to leei lliai we win never mm
again as we now meet; to see our friend
take the oars and move out without us
on tbe great unknown sea, whither so
nianv have zone, but hence none ever
returns this makes the strongest heart
quail. At the grave faith itself liow s its
head and weeps. I do not chide you for
this; I only say, sorrow unt as those that
have no hope.
There are things to mitigate the pain of
parting. Suppose our friend litlievea
with all her heart that God. w ho holds
all the w inds in his checks, will fill her
sails and bring her to a home more, much.
more, to her liking than this; S.ipposc
this has lieen her dream since childhood's
days; Suppose her only prayer has lwen
that God would snare her life, would so
temper tho winds to this frail earthly
WmIv that it verv pains would "work
out a far more exceeding weight of Glo
rv:" Suppose life here, to her. n only
a preparation to the fuller, larger life
here liegun; Suppose that her G.sl
only took her by the hand, led her
through these valleys where sin has
moved, that by contrast the new Jerusa
lem might Imj more glorious; that tho
Father haa given to the. prodigal what
was aked, and allowed it all to ba spent
in a far country, even the prodigal to sit
with swine, that we may thus value tho
ring. theshH!s, the roW, the feast, the
full pardon and the Father's home; Sup
pose in her delirious moments she thinks
she hears the Father's call and answ ers
"I am coming." and suits tbe action
to the word, and som3 kind friend must
lay a baud gently on tho shoulder and
say "not yet, mother, not yet." Suppose
these friends that gather aWiut her as she
starts on her lop,; journey, and m re es
pecially her own, share this faith; th.it
they too lielieve in tho future; that there
is no death, only transition; What then?
Why this pain of the partiu is reduced
to the minim nit "Then we ww;i fir a
season, but joy comes in the morning."
All of these suppositions are truo aud not
at all overdrawn. -
(iod has given our friend length of days
and "sho couiei to her grave like as a
shock of earn coineth in his season." But
what are the seasons of the corn?
The corn has Its spriui;-tliiie whi n
"Kvcry c!o 1 fs'Is a stir of luigh:.
An Instinct within It libit rcu-lvs ami towers.
An I groping blindly above for licht,
(Tnn! ta soul In Knis arid in flower.."
In its spring-time this life I fancy was
as happy and joyous as ever life could bo.
And that bright happy sunshine of
spring often struggled with and broke
through the clouds of winter, startling
and cheering us like the song of a W-laled
bird singing in the leafless branches of a
tree, unconscious that its lit itoi were
gone.
Her summer came, and she grew
through it all. From tho blade of spring
to the corn of summer and then to the
fall corn ofau-uinn. These summer
days were full days; she share 1 her life
with her friends; she did not know how
to tie selfish; she was n t only kind to
those of her own rank and station, as the
world reck ns, but, like her Master, she
had a larger sisterhood, not Wiun.l to
gether by blood or worldly station, but
by humanity's need. God s sior, the
little ones Isdieving in Him, were never
forgotten. By her hands they were
warmed, fed and clothed. She belonged
to that select but small company of wo
men who have done what they could. I
can say of her what was most eloquently
said of another: "If all to whom sho had
done a kindness were to come to-day and
drop a rose upon her grave, to-night she
will sleep beneath a profusion of flow
ers."
Then came the winter with its chill
and frost, its storm, its blasts blowing
the rustling corn. But the frost did uot
destroy, only ripened. Frosts as well as
summer showers have their work. Hard
misfortune as well as mother's tears bring
out character. The corn bends uuder the
rain, holds fast in the storm and waits for
the husbandman. So it has W-en with
our sister. With faith sinking its roots
deep in the soil, she Wiwod her head in
sorrow, bent like the willow in the storm,
but ripened under alb Like the pome
granate which gathers np in itself the
warm sunshine, the summer shower, the
former and latter rains, cold and com
fortless, the frosts of autumn, aud out of
all these evolves the sweetest fragrance,
filling the morning; so our sister, from
whatever came to her in life of joy or
sorrow evolved a sweetness of disposi
tion, a richness and amiability of charac
ter that delighted all aWiut her.
At the end of the season the husliand
inan calls his servant and sends him to
cut the corn and bring it to fie shock;
and when the corn ia iu, he celebrates the
harvest home. So God sent forth his
angel whom we call death, but whose
nume in heaven must hi life. He came,

A press disputrh from Atlanta says:
The developments of the opening day of
the Atlanta Exosition compel one to
dntw some conclusions concerning the
dilliculties the olliciiils still have to sur
mount to make it a financial success.
Thus far there have been exceedingly
few Northerners here. This is undoubt
edly due to the continuance of the high
railroad rates from the North. When
they aro reduced, as they have lieen from
Washington and parts South, there is
certain to lie a large number of tourists
who will come to the fair and to see the
South.
At present there d.ies not seem cjuite
enough police protection for the strangers
iu the city, but the aldermen have pass
ed an ordinance requiring each sul'x.n
keeper to pay ti.t a month for the privi
lege of remaining open until midnight
during the next three months and with
the money thus raised more than a hun
dred more patrolmen will 1m scored.
When this is done there seems to !e no
reason why the most venturesome stran
ger should not feel secure.
The ls-al lines of street railroads com
pel passengers to jay double rates to. go
to the fair grounds, while they only
charge 5 cents to go to any other part of
the city. The trolley cars start running
at their top speed at a quarter of a mile
from tbe fair grounds, and w ill not alt
low any one to get on or oil' within that
limit to-day.
Tho hotels and most of the restaurants
have practically doubled their prii-vs, lie
cause of the rush of visitors to the city.
The result is that it is exceedingly ex
pensive to live in Atlanta, though there
appear to lie indications that u hen the
novelty of the exrsisition has worn o!v
the prices will materially decrease.
The charge of "ill rents to enter the ex
position grounds will proliably keep a
great many of the jKsirer citizens out of
the fair. Atlanta's population is made up
1 1 a great extent of persons iu extremely
moderate circumstance, and w hen they
have to pay . cents admission, and ad
ditional entrance fees to the various gate
ways of the Midway, the drain will be
serious.
