HOIS Or A SIT7XEXHT COLO.
Whsa BUek Coat Tiraei lay Ksary kaf
tsr Diteevsrsa that as has Bsea
Victimised ty a Thief.
Two weeks ago the Herald announced
that a bay horse bad been stolen on tbe
preceding Sunday night from the barn of
William Friedline, near Sipesvllle.
Since then the animal has bten restored
to tbe owner, br.t no clew of tbe thief bsa
been found.
The return of the stolen horse brought
to light a queer hard luck story, one that
many of our readers may perhaps have
heard before as having been played by
slick horse thieves on unsuspecting vic
tims, but it is believjd that tbe trick was
never before played on a person who
could so illy afford to be victimized as in
this case.
On the day following tbe theft of the
horse Henry Shaffer, who, notwithstand
ing his right side is crippled from tbe ef
fects of a paralytic stroke, strives to earn
a living for himself and family at the
blacksmith trade Lo this plaoe, was trav
eling a few miles north of town w hen he
was overtaken by a stranger mounted on
a fine black charger. The stranger en
gfeged Mr. Shaffer in conversation, telling
him that bis name was Sellers and that
be resided in the neighborhood of Shanks
vilie. Finally he asked Shaffer if he did
not wish to buy his horse, placing a price
on him that was clearly below the value
of tbe animal. Shaffer looked tbe animal
over carefully, remarking upon his
glossy blc "olor, and at last said that
be did not have tbe price asked, $75.
Sellers urged him to borrow the money
from some one living in the neighbor
hood, and when Shaffer expressed his
on willingness to do so, Sellers agreed to
take all the money Shaffer bad with
hi ia, and a two-year-old colt, which he
agreed to call for in a few days at Shaff
er's stable, in exchange for the horse he
was riding. Shaffer mounted the horse
and rode to Somerset, congratulating
himself ail the way home on tbe bargain
he had made. Next morning he hitched
tbe black steed np in a buggy and started
for Indiana, Pa. After driving for a few
miles and getting the horse into a sweat
he noticed that tbe steed was beginning
to lose bis glossy black coat. A little
later he discovered that the sweat from
the beast was quite dark in color, and
when he dismounted and rubbed bis
haud over the horse's coat be found that
a black substance similar to stove polish
adhered to his band. Further investiga
tion convinced him that he was driving a
Usy aud not a black animal, and upon re
flection he became satisfied that be was
driving tbe horse stolen from Mr. Fried
line. By this time be was too far on tbe
road towards Indiana to turn back, and
in addition to being troubled by tbe
knowledge that he was driving a stolen
horse, he became apprehensive that be
would be arrested as a horse thief upon
arriving at his destination. He transact
ed his business at Indiana and started on
tbe return trip via Johnstown, where he
felt quite sure he would be placed under
arrest if he made his appearance in day
light, as many persons from the vicinity
of Sipesville visit Jehnstown during the
week to dispose of their marketing, and
as a matter of course the police there
would be on the lookout for Friedline's
stolen horse. Shaffer so limed his move
ments that he passed through the Cam
bria county metropolis after dark and
pushed steadily ahead until he reached
Somerset. Next morning he drove out
to Mr. Friedline's where he restored tbe
stolen horse to his owner, since when be
has been keeping both eyes open for
Sellers, who has not yet appeared to
claim the two-year-old colt. Shaffer
thinks he was mighty lucky to have es
caped with the loss of 35, and declares
that in the future he will be able to tell a
black horse when he sees one.
'Walked Trom California
Mr. Roger Davis the well-known artist.
arrived in Johnstown day before yester
day, after an absence of a year and a half.
After his studio between Paint Creek and
Scalp Level was destroyed by fire be
went from here to California, where he
boarded a steamer for Japan, remaining
there three or four months. Upon his re
turn he went to Salem, Ore., to visit his
sister Mrs. Lucy A. Muir formerly of
the south South Side, this city. Last
March he sailed from Oregon to Califor
nia, where he walked along the Pacific
Coast to Mexico. From there he walked
through Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado,
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois,
Kentucky, Indiana. Ohio, and West Vir
ginia, striking the Pennsylvania line in
Fayette county.
He left California in April and says he
had interesting experiences in almost ev
ery State. He traveled over two thous
and seven hundred miles and wore out
four pairs of heavy shoes and four pairs
of trousers. The ooat he wore over the
entire trip he purchased a short time be
fore he left Johnstown from John Thom
as A Sons. He says that on several occa
sions engineers would see him walking
along tbe railroad tracks and would stop
tbe train and offer to take him on, but he
kindly thanked them and replied that he
was in the walking business.
Tbe trip was taken on foot for tbe pur
pose of making sketches and be did not
want to be bothered with a companion.
Mr. Davis hss traveled almost every hill
and mountain in Pennsylvania, but says
he found a few on his recent trip that are
harder to climb than those in the Key
stone State.
Mr. Djvis has hundreds of sketches
and notes he made on tbe trip and be has
rented room No. 39 in the Waters build
ing, where be expects to spend some time
in developing them. He hss recently
made a discovery in color photography
that will likely net him a large sum of
money in the near future. Johnstown

Xrs. X. A. Tarmaa't Elgkty-Tklrs Birth
day Anaivtrsary Happily Celebrated
by Est Dssosadaatt.
Mrs. Eliza A. Tayman, proprietress of
the Somerset House, celebrated the
eighty-third anniversary of her birth on
Friday last. It is probable that the event
would have escaped the venerable lady's
attention and would bave passed unmsrk
ed had it not been for the thoughtfulness
of two of her granddaughters,. Mrs. W,
B. Parker and Miss Bertha Grove, who
planned in surprise her on that evening.
At eight o'clock Mr. and Mrs. David
Tayman and Mr. and Mrs. William Tay
man, together with their children, of La
vansville, Mrs. Curtis Grove and chil
dren, Mr. George U. Tayman, of Somer
set, Captain William U. Jordan, of Mt.
Pleasant, Mr. and Mrs. Edward S. Kant
ner, and Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Parker,
made up a family party of twenty who
gathered in the Somerset House parlor,
when a bell boy was sent to apprise Mrs.
Tayman that callers were awaiting her.
Tbe old lady's surprise was genuine
when she beheld so many of her de
seen dan la gathered around her and some
little time passed before she regained her
composure. Captain Jordan, her son in
law, who celebrated the forty-fifth an
niversary of his birth, the last one be is
willing to publicly acknowledge, thirty
years ago, presented Mrs. Tayman with
a handsome rocking chair on behalf of
tbe assembled guests, and then escorted
her to the dining room where a sumptuous
banquet was discussed by the three gen
erations present.
Mrs. Tayman has been actively identifi
ed with the hotel business of Somerset
county for many years. Her father,
David La van, was a prominent hotel
man at Lavausville eighty years ago,
when much of Che commerce between
tbe east and west passed over the pike
running through this place. Ia 1870
Mrs. Tayman purchased the large brick
residence of Judge Baer, which occupied
tbe present site of the Somerset House,
and which she converted into a hotel.
The hotel was destroyed by fire in May,
1872, and immediately thereafter the
present splendid hotel .property was
erected. With tbe exception of an inter
val of a few years, during which time the
Somerset House was onder the control
of Edgar Kyle, the hotel has had the
benefit of Mrs. Tay man's care and super
vision, and much of its popularity has
been due to ber efforts. T.ie fact that she
has always personally superintended
biking tbe bread for the hotel, best illus
trates tbe care she has and still takes for
tbe comfort of the guests of the house.
Mrs. Tayman's family has a remarkable
record for longevity. Her father passed
awsy at tbe age of 73, and ber mother,
who died only three or four years ago,
had attained the age of 96 years. Mrs.
Tayman has been blessed with excellent
health and her host of friends will unite
in wishing ber many happy returns of
the auspicious event so hsppily celebrat
ed Friday night.
VILLAGE IXPB0VEKEST SOCIETY.
Somerset Ladies Organist for the Purpose
sf Improving Local Sanitary Con
ditions and Beautifying Streets
and Pnblie Grounds.
Pursuant to a call published in the
local newspapers, about 125 ladies met
in tbe court room Monday evening. Tbe
object of the meeting tbe formation of a
Village Improvement Society was brief
ly stated by Mrs. M. O. Kooser, who later
read a short history of the valuable work
accomplished by a similar society in one
of the New England States, where the
movement originated in this country.
Mrs. Minnie Gould, Mrs. Katharine
Cromwell, Mrs. Peter Vogel and Mrs.
Laura Baush, all of whom are familiar
with the work undertaken elsewhere by
village improvement societies, read in
teresting paragraphs from various publi
cations treating upon tbe aims aud re
sults achieved by societies organized for
the purpose of improving the sanitary
conditions and beautifying the general
appearance of rural communities. After
a general discussion of tbe benefits that
must accrue from a movement of this
kind in Somerset, a permanent organiza
tion was effected. Mrs. J. M.Cook was
chosen President. Other officers elected
were. Vice Presidents Mrs. Harry Si pe.
Miss Mary Baer, Mrs. M. J. Black, Mrs.
John Nicbol, Mrs. Daniel Kellar, Mrs.
William Gustin and Miss Ella Ferner,
Secretary, Mrs. Laura Baush; Corre
sponding Secretary, Miss Emily Parker;
Treasurer, Mrs. A. C. Davis.
Committees on Ssnitatlou, Education,
Hortioulturs and Floriculture were ap
pointed.
Every lady in Somerset ia eligible to
membership npon the psyment of an in
itiation fee of ten cents. Gentlemen can
not become active members of tbe So
ciety, but are eligible to honorary mem
bership.
Among the improvements which will
first be undertaken by tbe local society
will be that of placing receptacles at the
varions street corners for the collection
of waste paper, rags, orange and banana
peelings, and other objectionable matter
that at present litters the streets; the re
moval of unsightly and obje.i-nable
advertisements from electric light, tele
graph and telephone poles and other con
spicuous public places; tbe proper care of
public and private alleys; tbe cultivation
of shade and ornamental trees along tbe
sidewalks; tbe planting of fljwr plots In
public places; properly caring for and
beautifying tbe local cemeteries, and last,
but not least, causing an abatement of
the foal and offensive practice of apitlirg
on the sidewalks and on tbe floors of
public and church buildings Indulged in
by so msny men and boys.
The Village Improvement Society baa
cut out a big lot of work for itself, but if
it succeeds in accomplishing only tbe
first and last objects specified above it
will earn the lasting gratitude not only
of the entire population of Somerset, but
of thousands of strangers who have occa
sion to visit our town.
Tbe large attendance at the first meet
ing and tbe general interest manifested
by all present augur well for the future
of tbe society. It should bave tbe en
couragement and liberal assistance of
every resident of Somerset. The results
it bsa set about to accomplish will be of
immediate and lasting benefit to all alike.

Oar Rational Thanksgiving Day.
Every American knows what Thanks
giving Day signifies, but very few re
member the precise history of its origin.
and the steps by which it has grown to be
our national institution. Thanksgiving
days date from tbe earliest times. His
tory shows tbst the Jews bad the custom
of making Thank-offering in the Hebrew
Feast of Tabernacles. The Greeka and
Romans had high feast days, and in the
Harvest Home of the old Saxons, and tbe
Feast of Wine and Vine of tbe Spanish
Cid, we find the forerunner of our Na
tional Thanksgiving. In 1575 the city of
Leyden, in Holland, held a Thanksgiving
service on October 3, tbe anniversary of
raising the siege of the city, and a few
weeks later the Pilgrims sought refuge in
Holland and sailed tbeuoe for this conti
nent. The earliest record of an Ameri
can Thanksgiving is found in the annals
of New England in 1G2L In tbe autumn
of that year Governor Bradford ordered
the first Thanksgiving Day in the Amer
ican colonies. In 1622 a special dsy of
Thanksgiving was set apart after an abun
dant harvest, and Massasoit, the Indian
chief and his Council of braves were in
vited to participate in the festivities and
general merry-making. They did it so
well that three whole day were spent in
feasting by tbe Indian friends of the col
onists. Tbe Dumb in tbe New Nether
lands had Thanksgiving Days in 1644, and
many years afterward.
These Thanksgiving days were not,
however, of an official character. The
first public Thanksgiving was in 163L
The colonists were in great distress; fam
ine was near at band ; a vessel laden with
provisions and other stores, and long at
sea, had not arrived. But just before tbe
day set apart for fasting and prayer the
good ship sailed into port, and the au
thorities made it a day of thanksgiving
and rejoicing. Their day of sorrow was
turned Into a day of cheer. This was the
first real Thanksgiving Day of the Amer
ican people.
Tbe first national Thanksgiving Day
was by proclamation of President Wash
ington, set for Thursday, November 26,
17S9.. A Day of Thanksgiving and Pray
er, to be observed by the people of the
United States, other Presidents after
Washington issued proclamations for
from time to time.
In the New England States the dsy hss
been sacredly kept for over a century.
The meeting-houses were always opened
on that day, and no preaching during tbe
year was more impressive than the
Thanksgiving sermon. Everybody went
to meeting on that historic holiday. . The
festival was intended originally to be
kept as a strictly religious celebration,
but the New Englsnd Thanksgiving din
ners, and the frolic and amusement tbst
followed, took away much of its serious
aspect. The spirit of this festival can
never be to tbe children of other States
and climes just what it is to those of New
England ancestry, with its fragrant mem
ories, its beautiful traditions, and the old
Thanksgiving Day joy and cheer.
Thanksgiving Day bad its natural ori
gin in the sense of reverence and grati
tude that marked the Pilgrim Fathers aa
a God fearing, religious people. To-day
it marks a blessed time of rejoicing and
praise, and tbe advent of that sublime
season of the year, the nar-by Holy
Christmas tide. In tbe early days of the
colonies tbe joyous feast of Christmas
ras not celebrated as it is to-day. In tbe
New England States Thsnksgiving took
its place to a great extent, while in Vir
ginia and tbe Southern States Christmas
was tbe high holiday of the round year.
To-day we are one happy people. North
and South, united in strength and pros
perity, and the Thanksgiving Proclama
tion reaches from shore to shore. Tbe
mingled notes of prayer and praise as
cend like sweet Incense to tbe throne of
the great Ruler of alL
Oar ni there' God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing ;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy ltht ;
Protect us by Thy might.
Ureal God, our King.
