Tbe Somerset County HoKpital for the
Iusane, which wea recently completed
and inspected by John Graves, of Mey

ad 8. J. Balls, of Beriia, a committee
appointed by the Court for that purpose,
was dedicated with appropriate ceremo
nies oa Friday afternoon last.
Notwithstanding tbe extreme cold
weather several hundred people from
various sections of th county wer pres
ent and participated in tbe exorcises.
Former Director Jacob W. Pack, who
took an active part in erecting the Hos
pital, presided and made a brief address,
in which be clearly outlined the object
and purposes of the new building. De
votional exercises were conducted by the
Chaplain of the Home, Rev. C. F. Geb
hart, asfuated by Rev, F. P. Saylor.
Director Adam S. Miller rad a history
of the building fr&;n its inception to com
pletion. Director M. Shoemaker, presi
dent of the board, delivered the dedica
tory address. Snort addrease were de
livered by H. L. Baer, Valentino Hay,
John U. L'hl and others.
Just before the proeram was taken np

delivered tbe keys of the completed
structure so tb B rd of Directors.
Somerset waa tb fourth county in tbe
State to avail itself of the provisions of
the Act of Assembly providing for tbe
maintenance and care of the insane by
counties. Ta day eighteen counties have
followed the example set by our Poor
Directors and have Hospitals in course cf
erection.
The new County Hospital is a two
story brick sir jctur l'?x4- feet, finish
ed throughout with hard wood, and
equipped with hot water bmt, electric
light aud ustbrooms. It will comforta
bly accommodate 100 patients. U patients
are now entertained at tbe Hospital and
by March 13th next Somerset county
patients to the number of IX wbo are
now at the various Stale Hospitals, will
be brought here and wi.l thereafter be
provided for by the local authorities.
The county receives ILJuper week for
each patient maintained lit the Hospital
from the State, and it is est;mald that
the sum of 4"n will be received from
that source during the current year, and
ihiLt the total cost of erecting tbe Hos
pital t$Iiiaji will have been returned to
the county in the course of three years.

Hoping to beautify and improve tbe
appearance of the streets of Somerset, the
women of tbe town have obtained per
mission from the Council to pnt in con
venient places on the streets certain re
ceptacles for th collection of scattered
paper and other refuse matter tuat is at
present disfiguring them, as well as
threatening tbe safety of persons driving.
The V. L A. proposes to keep these cans
in a sanitary condition and have tbe con
tents burned.
Th litter now seen on our streets is cer
tainly very unbecoming to any well-regulated
town, and if seen by a visitor from
Cuba would justly eutitls us to unfavor
able criticism.
The towns of Pennsylvania as well as
others all over tbe United States are im
provic wonderfully along esthetic lines,
and Somerset can keep pace with the
best, adopting modern methods ia the
management of the streets as well as ia
tbe management of other affairs.
With ths comforts that sewers will
bring us, and more care in tbe disposal
of scraps and debris, oar town will not
only be "beautiful for sanation," but fa
mously healthy, neat and ivt
To assist in carryiug out the plan pro
posed an entertainment will be given by
our talented and patriotic young ladiea
and gentlemen in the Opera House early
in March. As every property bolder,
every resident, and all visicors will be
benefitted in tbe expenditure of the mon
ey raised, it is hoped there will be a lib
eral patronage. V. L A.

Ia tb recent case .if Rafferty vs. X or
ris, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania
decided an important and interesting
point of law. The case wan tried in Clear
field county, before Judge Gordon, and
tbe facta were as follows: Raflertye had
advertised a tract of timber land at pub
lic auction. X orris was the highest bid
der, and after th sal b refused to takt
tbe property on tbe ground that there was
not th amount of timber represented in
the advertisement, and because fraud bad
been, as he alleged, practiced by tbe Raf
ferty. Rafferty tbea went on and read
vertised and resold tbe timber, and. it
having aold for several handred dulla-s
leas than Norrw bid, tbey sued to recover
th difference, aud also their expenses
connected with tbe resale. On tbe trial,
np"a the cross-examination of plaintiffs,
Mr. X orris' counsel, Messrs. Swoope dc
Pat ton, drew out tbe fact that Rafferty
bad employed a party to bid op tbe tim
ber land for them to a certain price, and
defendant counsel contended that this
vitiated the sale and rendered it fraudu
lent, and that tbe plaintiff could no- re
cover. Judge Gordon so held, and plain
tiffs appealed the case to the Superior
Coutt. and, in the decision handed down,
the Superior Coart has affirmed the decis
ion of Judge Gordon, and sustains th
position of defendant' counsel that the
employment of a party to bid for the own
er at a public sale is a fraud on bidders,
and renders th sale void and non forci
ble. Partiea who are Belling property at
auction should note this decision, as it is
understood that in some localities it is a
common practice at sach sales to Uav
some one or more persons to bid for the
owners in order to prevent sacrifice of tbe
property, but under this decision this is
illegal.

Tn these days of fa-t presse and cheap
methods of printing, a great deal of
worthless reading matter and not a littls
that ia positively harmful ia thrust npou
the attention of tbe public This is true
of books and true of newspapers. But
there are standards for both, at by a dis
criminating public That standard is set
very high in Pennsylvania, where school-
houses abound and the reading habit is
strongly developed.
For almost 114 years the standard news
paper of W stern Pennsylvania has been
tbe Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette. Its
name is a household word, ami it is a
household favorite. It contains nothing
unclean and is thoroughly up to date and
reliable. It aims to present facts and not
sensations ; it mission is tbe diffusion of
information, and it never deviates from
that course. It haa gained new friends
every year of its long life and retained
old ones by presenting the news in whole
some, attractive shape. It gives every
day all the new of lb world that is
worth printing or reading. It ia tbe rec
ognized Pittsburgh authority in commer
cial and financial matters, but it is as
much the farmer's paper as tbe banker's
or the merchant's; as much the miner's
aud mecbaaic'a as the millionaire's, for it
watches for news of interest to all tbe peo
ple. It has won popular respect because
it is trustworthy.
In addition to all tbe news, gathered by
the greatest newsgatbering jgency in tbe
world, tbe Associated Press, it bas spe ial
reports from alert and trained corres
pondents in all important fields; it has
its story for tbe lovers of wholesome fic
tion, its fashion notes and household
hints for tbe ladies, its crisp comment rn
questions of the hoar, its fund of inform
ation for everybody. Republican in pol
itic and a supporter of tbe best princi
ples of that party, it is not :be organ or
mouthpiece of any faction, but is unfet
tered. Tbe world is making history at a
rspid rate in these days; the Commercial
Gazette faithfully mirrors that history.
It coats only $ a year for the Daily, or 11
for tbe Weekly.
