What would lv considered a modest
"nes. egg"' f r a fortune by a msj rity of
tbe citizenn of this county was given by
Edward J. Berwind and wife in exchange
for ?1.5s0 worth of revenue stamps, hich
were placed on a deed conveying tracts
of about 10,000 acres of coal lands in Paint
and Shade townships to the Wilmore
Coal Company, and which is now being
recorded by Register and Recorder Co
ver. The deed covers thirty-eight cbe
ly written pages. The consideration for
the transfer is given as one dollar.
Another deed from the same parlies con
tains 2o0 worth of revenueRtamps. Mot
of the stamps are of f 10o and fx) denomi
nations. Mr, John Fox, the senior partner of tbe
well-known firm of Fox Broa., lumber
men and charcoal manufacturers, is one
of the most ingenious and patient gentle
men among tbe Heralo's acquaintances
at least we have been forced to this con
clusion after inspecting a piece of bis
handiwork. Daring tbe cold weather last
week Mr. Fox devoted a few hours to
wood-earring with the result that he pro
duced a wooden cbain, twelve feet long,
patterned after tbe old log cbain, with
book and ring at either end. The chain
was carved out of a plank twelve feet long
and six inches wide, the links being two
by six inches, and is so symmetrical
throughout as to elicit expressions of ad
miration from all who see it. Mr. Fox
had only a handsaw and a penknife for
tools.
After communicating with tbe mem
bers of tbe local bar Judge Loogenecker
decided that in view of tbe reported epi
demic of small pox at Bedford it w:u!d
be imprudent for h:m to preside at this
woik's term of criminal court, and be
therefore requested Judge L. D. Doty, of
Westmoreland county, tooccupy his place
on the bench. Judge Ioty arrived here
on tbe 10trt2 train Monday morning and
went immediately to tbe court house ard
c rnveued court. Judge Lccgeneckersays
that tbe newspaper reports concerning
the epidemic of small-p x at Bedford are
grossly exaggerated ; tbat there are enly
two or three cases of a mild form in tbe
l-wt, and as many mere outside of tie
borough ; but ou account of the alirm
created throughout tbe State by the news
paper rejM.rt arid tbe general fear on tbe
part of the public tbat the diwse might
lc me wide spread, he would rrpect the
doire of tbe Somerset attorney and re

CITIZIES DI3T mi 6TATEXI5T
Bedford is jKtatly siirred up b7 the
KaVmniLs that have been given out tbat
tbe w hole town was afflicted with small
pox and tbat tbe residents were quaran
tined and barrb-adod. Tbe 200 cases re
ported bave dwindled down to seven, two
in the boron gh Hnd five outside within a j
radius of ten miles. These seven c-iom are
conceded to be small-pox in a very mild
form, though no alarm has been felt by
the citizens, Ibe patients being entirely
under control and not permitted to min
gle w ith other members of the family.
At a town meeting Friday afternoon a
committee was appointed composed of
tbe town connrii, board ft health and
three prominent citizens, with John M.
Reynolds as chairman, and the following
resolution was adopted :
'The people of this town have Iwen
greatly startled by unfounded reports
concerning tbe prevalence heie of small
pox. No greater wrong to any commun
ity can be i:nsgin9d than that purpetrat-
ed in this instaii'.-e, and deep indignation
prevails among the people, who collected
iu an informal inching this afternoon and
severely denounced the statements per
porling to come from Dr. Alkiusou.
There are two cases in this town aud sev
en O' tside, five families in all being af
flicted, and these being entirely under
cure and control. Dr. Atkinson did n.t
see more than the five families stuted.
and to say tbat 11)0 patibuts were under
bis eyes is entirely false.
n.ere is not tbe least alarm or ap
prehension felt among the people, and
they are simply dazed at tbe publicity
given to these falsehoods, lnat soaie
cases of a poculiar skin aSTectii.n have
existed in difl'ertnl pails of the county
may be admitted, but they are not small
pox, and tbe town has no; boen guarded
or quarantined as was published."
Dr. Alkiuson, when seen Friday even
ing at his borne in Philadelphia, discuss
ed freely the epidemic of small-pox at
Bedford. "There arc," he said, "over IX)
ca.ses of small pox in all stages in this
pretty litlle town. I was sent to visit this
region at the request of Dr. Lee, of the
Board of Health, and to submit to him a
report as to existing conditions. During
my practice I bave had a great deal to do
with small-pox, both in au'official and a
professional capacity, so this is not the
first time I bave been sent to report on an
epidemic. Ail day Wednesday, that
night and the greater part of to-day I
have been in that towu not only visiting
caes, but in consultation with local phy
sicians and members uf the Board of
Health. To say tbe least, a most remark
able stale of stfairs exist. Patients in all
stages of the disease are there, and being
in constant communication with those
who are iu sound beallh. There has been
no attempt to quarantine the sick, aud, as
a result, the di.seu.-o is spreading rapidly
throughout the country.
"For iastatico, I saw a boy with well
defined marks on his arm, who said that
he was going to work regularly and ex
pected to go out of the house as usual ti
morrow. Then again, a mau in a da' ser
ous condition lett the town for bis home
in Virginia, where he will doubtless
spread tbe disease,
"Before a meeting of the local Board of
Health I recommended in the strongest
way that tbe proper precautions be taken
at once to prevent a general spread of the
disease. Another remarkable feature of
the case is that there are so few people
whobaveever Iveen vaccinated. The doe
tors there pronounced this evident small
pox 'chicken pox' and contagious skin
disease, aud did not make any attempt to
vaccinate. Even among those not vaccinate-!
tbe disease bas manifested itself
only in a mild f rm. However, I believe
that tbe doctors will now take bold of tbe
disease, aud they will be backed up by
tbe Board of Health, which passed at my
instance an ordinance instituting the moet
rigid quarantine."
Philadelphia. Dec. li Dr. Benja
min Lee, secret i ry of the slate board of
health, who returned tonight from a visit
to tbe town of Bedford, where be went to
investigate tbe reports of smallpox, dis
covered Jbat there are a number of cases
of the disease ia tbe town and vicinity,
but tbat it is of a light fvm, and tbat
with strict care aud the observan of
proper precautions, may be controlled,
and further spreading prevented. Soon
after his return be sent the following
telegram to Surgein General Walter
Wyman of the United States Marine
hospital at Washington :
"Smallpox status in Bedford and sub
urbs, within one and one half miles, Dec.
11, 20 cases, of which 12 are within the
borough limits and eight outside. Houses
infected. 10, of which seven are within
the borough limits and three outside. Of
tbe above cases eight variola, of which
two are within the borough limits, and
six outside, aud 12 varioloid, of w bicb 10
are withing the limits, and two outside.
Also in Bedford county, within eight
miles of the borough, five cases of variola
in two biases. Authorities active. All
precautions taken."

evidence given by Stanton and bis wit

battle against a regiment of Spaniards
thaa in that morning's struggle with a
furious woman and her family of chil
dren, aided and al eited by a snarling
dog. According to tbe prosecutor, ho
charged the deluudaut with resisting an
officer, Mrs. Peterman assailed him
w ith a poker and a.lor be had succeeded
in placii g handcuff around her wrists
she called upon her son to shoot the
officer. The son picked up one of three
guns in the IVteruian kitc'ieu aud was
about to comply with bis mother's re
quest when he was brought to terms by
Deitz who pushed a pistol in bis face.
Two or three of the Peterman girls it ap
peared from the evidence were quite
bandy w ith tbe poker aud sticks of wood,
with which they assaulted the officers of
tbe la ; while tbe dog, in response to re
pealed urging from his mistress, snapped
and snarled et the officers' heels. Mrs.
Peterman declared when cahed to the

says tbe Sunday New Y'o.-k World. For
three days Mrs. McKinley, wifo of the
President, was their giiest, and for three
days their ingenuity was taxed in pro
viding something new for each meal, par
ticularly for tbe three luncheons, to
which Mrs. McKinley invited her friends.
Would you like to know wbo were
asked to sit at the tal.le w ith the first lady
in the land last Thursday, aud what they
had to eat? Here you are:
The guets were Miss Catharine End-
sley, sister of Mrs. Abner McKinley;
Mrs. Abner McKirley and her daughter.
Miss Mabel; Mrs. Steven Hand, wife of
Pay master Rand, U. S. N.; Mrs. M. A.
Stafford and Mrs. William I Strong,
wife of former Mayor Strong.
"You must have something new," said
Mr. Leland, and Chef La-e promised be
would, lie succeeiled so well tbat Mrs.
McKinley asked the Chfs name and
sent him a monr y present. W by not?
Didn't the chef invent two new dishes
for the occasion clatn broth with whipp
ed cream, and caruntiou ice cream? Here
is the menu :
Clam hroth with whipped cream.
Terrapin a u M;ir Lmd.
UrolleJ chicken on tonst. Bermuda potatoes.
Lemon herberl.
Philadtl squab on tonst. Hothousetomatoei.
Celery mayonnaise.
Carnation Ire cream.
Dw. Waf.-r. Kruit. Cake. Cocoa. Tea.
The menu was printed on Robiu's-egg
blue cream-laid paper with a gold mono
gram at the top. At each plate, also, was
a Lig bouquet of wild violets almost
priceless at this season of tbe year.
Tbe clam broth was tbe first surprise.
It was served ic egg shell cups of fragile
porcelain delicately bordered with red
and gold. On top of each cup of the de
licious broth fl taled an inch and a half of
whipped cream. It was so good Mrs.
McKinley wasn't ashamed to call for
another cup.
The luncheon progressed charmingly
till the desert. Then tbre was the other
surprise the carnation ice cream. This
eclipsed tbe clam broth. Delicately flav
ored ice cream, tinted shell pink and
crimped on the edges fike a carnation, it
seemed to bave been moulded in Hie form
of the perfect flower.
These luscious blossoms were fixed
with the catix of tbe real flower surround
ing the stem and set off with real carna
tiou leaves. The? looked for all tbe
world like delicate pinks and seemed to
be, till tbe women tried their spoons.
Mrs. McKinley never once went shop
ping, though be expended several thous
and dollars. Some of it went for three
dinner dresHes for herself; the remainder
went for Christmas presents for tbe Pres
ident and her frieuds. What bis present
is she wouldn't tell a souL For ber
friends abe bought beautiful cut glass
pitchers, solid silver candelabra, silver
vases, a dozen small pieces of silver,
three cut glass bowls, a score of buckles,
hat pins, match boxes, two jeweled pina

She ordered, besides, several dozen

Christmas ea 8aaday.
This year we will bave a Sunday Christ
mas Christina-1 and Suuday rolled into
one, as it were, and which will not occur
again nntil 1U04. It may be interesting
for those who are fond of abstruse calcu
lations w herein tbe dominical letter bears
a prominent part to be reminded that tbe
occurrence of Christmas on Sunday takes
place four times in every twenty-eight
years, after the expiration of every five,
six, eleven, and twenty-two years res
pectively. Take, for instance, the year
I.i9 as a starling point. In that year
Christmas came upon Sunday. In tbe
succeeding twenty -eight years duriug
which Christmas came upon Sunday we
had them In 1-s-a. 1HT0, 1M and 1Ks7. In
1IC we bad another after a five years'
wait, and now another comes after a lapse
of six years, and from this yearn, owing
lo !! not being an actual leap-year.
though divisible by the figure 4, to I'.UO,
Christmas (and, of course, New Y' ear al
so,) will fall on Sunday regularly every
six years that is, in VJOl and egain in
1910. We recommend the calculation as
an interesting centre table amusement.
Tbe musings into it bich a computation
of this kind entraps one are at once slight
ly poetic and eminently practical. Im
agination pratces airily about, and pro
pounds that cnanswerable conundrum,
"Where shall we be at tbe conclusion of
the n xt skip?"
Holidays sometimes give a great deal of
trouble to people wbo have notes to pay.
For instance, this year the lanks will
take their holiday on 21 Christmas, and a
note falling due on the 2'i:h will have to
be paid two days beforehand, and the
same anticipation of payment must be
made -8 to notes due January 2. And
this inconvenience will be repeated next
winter, when Christmas and New Y'ear's
Hay fall upou Monday.

Is there anything more disfiguring to a

J. H. Gardner, of Sioyestown, Pa ,
makes this suggestion to the Pittsburg

"I have read with much interest there
ports in your valuable paper of young
Boota" McDermott having been at Ma

nia boy with tbe "snap," courage and pa
triotism shown in this young bero be
recognized, that the good people of Pitts
burg and of tbe western part of the State
contribute enough money to give him aa
education in one of the best colleges in
the State or United States. I think that
would be tbe proper way in which to
show our appreciation of his service in
the late war. and one for which be in after
life would bless tbe day be started f jr tbe

Sheriffs Eight to Bar Hoots.
Thirty months after tbe famous Wood

Friday assessed the damages, the Elingrr
boiiae, which the Sheriff burned as a last
resort to capture the outlaw, at fsVi.
Tbe owner, Emma C. Goodman, sought
to recover over f2,0).
Although the jury assessed tbe dam
ages, the Court ruled that the liability
for the same was entirely a question cf
law, on which an opinion will be given
in the future. The developments in tha
cise seem to indicate that the owner
imy bave to stand the loss herself, as
the county was declared not to be liable.
