we have failed to hear of that person
We haven't tried it, but are dispos
ed to think that this recipe for peeling
tomatoes is all right: Cover them with
boiling water half a minute, then lay
them in cold water till they are perfect
ly cold, when the akin can be slipped
off without difficulty leaving tbe to ma
toes unbroken and as firm as before
tbey were scalded.
Prof. Armstroog, Principal of tbe
borough schools, was called to bis for
mer home suddenly last Saturday by

disease was not wholly unexpected!
although it was not looked for so soon
The deceased was aged about 65 years,

ty.

By direction of Major General
Daniel Bulterfield, President Brigade
Association, tbe 3d Brigade, 1st Divi
sion, 6th Corps, will hold its annual
reunion at the national encampment,
Washington, in headquarters tent,
Grand Army Place, at 10 a. ra., Sept.
21, 1892. It is desired that all survi
vors of the Brigade in the city at that
time will make it a point to attend
this reunion.
The opening of the public schools
and the inevitable outlay on all bands
for scboolbooks, reminds one that free
text books for tbe public schools is
something to be desired. The money
that is wasted in the publio printing of
the State by various ways would go a
long way towards paying for free text
books. There should be no dilly-dallying
about the passage of a bill of this
kind by tbe next legislature of tbe
State.
The Titusville Herald says of a
former Tionesta lady: "Mrs. J. M.
Mintz met with a fall on East Dia
mond street, in front of Mr. James
Browo's restaurant last evening, which
it is feared has produced internal in
juries. She stumbled over a gas box
whioh has for a long time past stuck
up above the level of tbe sidewalk
about two inches. Mrs. Mintz is quite
an elderly lady and tbe shock from her
injuries severe."
Governor Pattison has issued a
proclamation recommending to all au
thorities charged by law with the pro
tection of the lives and health of their
respective communities, the utmost
promptness aud energy in placing
their towns in a state of sanitary defense,
and to tbe citizens of such towos that
they not only yield a cheerful obed
ence to the orders of such authorities,
but lend their active aid in enforcing
the same. The Governor is rL'lit and
every municipally should be set in or
der. There is danger of a spread of
cholera and Io lessen that danger by
a through cleaning up is tbe first duly
of all. See to it.
The Borough Council has acted
promptly in the matter of health rfg
ulations if the appointment of a com
petent board of health can be constru
ed to mean anything in that direction.
Dr. Nason and Messrs. T. F. Ritchey
and James R. Clark were selected by
the Council at its last meeting as a
health board, and it is believed these
gentlemen will do their duty without
fear or favor, and yet be actuated by
a spirit of reason and justice toward
all, having only the good of all as
their motive io whatever tbey find
necessary to do.
On Monday morning the M. E.
Conference at Warren, by a vote of 72
to 32, reconsiered its- previous action
n regard to where the next annual
meeting should be held. As a result
Dubois will have the pleasure of enter
taining the 58th meeting of tbe Erie
Conference. Just before the appoint
ments were read, on Monday morning,
Bishop Taylor offered prayer, and
among other things spoke of the min
isters just about to be assigned
to their respective fields of labor as
"going, some to their appointments,
and some to their disappointments."
As will be seen by notice in this
issue to tbe effect that a charter will
be applied for incorporating the Tio
nesta Water Supply Co., the matter
is assuming tangible shape, and it is
expected that before snow flies many
of our citizens will be enjoying the
luxury of water by the spigot, and the
town will be enjoying greater security
from fire, as well as all other conven
iences which a good system of water
works bring about. It is understood
that work will be begun at once, sur
veying the route digging ditches, &o.,
so mat oy tbe time tbe charter is
granted a good portion of tbe work
will be done.
What is said in the following item
from the Ridgway Democrat applies
very well to Tiouesta, and we hope due
heed will be given the matter : "To be
awake to danger is not cowardly. To
neglect proper precaution against dis
ease, especially tatal epidemics, is
imprudence. It is not neccessary. to
be frightened, but it is possible for the
cholera, to reach Ridgway. The most
advanced medical science is often
powerless against diseitse. In the
event of cholera gaining a foothold in
America no town, however remote from
the sea coast, is safe from the scourge.
If it does come it will come as an ag
gressive scourge, aud the general sani
tary condition here may be suited to a
favorable attack. There are places in
town that smell like a last year's rot
ten mackerel that had come io juxtapo
sition with decomposed liraberger
cheese, and a geueral cleaning up
should be instituted at once. It would
be foolhardy not to institute a defence
against it."
Killed by the Cars.
Vincent Proctor, a former resident of
Tionesta, son iu-law of James Burkett
was instautly killed on Sunday night
last a short distance below Thompson
station, by beiog struck by train 96
which passes here goiug north at 7:00
p. m. The traiu men did not see him
until nearly tbe entire train bad pass
ed over him, when be was found in
greatly mangled condition. Just how
he happened to be in the way of the
engine is not definitely known, but i
is supposed he was lying or sitting on
the track. His remains were taken to
Warren for burial.

Wedding; Dells.
On Wednesday, Sept. 7, 1892, at 11
clock a. rn , at tbe home of the bride,
nd in the presence of the relatiues of
both bride and gsoom, Mr. Fred. II.
Dickrager, one of German Hill's
bright and energetic young men, and
Miss Susie, the accomplished daughter
f Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Blum, of tbe
same place, were joined in marriage
by Rev. II. J. Reinraann of Oil City.
On Friday evening following, a recep
ion was tendered them. Congratula
tions and good wishes came with each
guest to the newly married couple,
and on this occasion all enjoyed them
selves to the uttermost. Amusements
of all kiuds was the order of the eve
ning, aud these were kept up till tbe
wee small hours of the night, when all
-parted for home, leaving behind
their host wishes to the new made man
and wife, and the assurance of having
bad au enjoyable time. The happy
couple were tbe recipients of very
many handsome and useful presents.
A Guest.
The Keeley Reunion.
The reunion of Keeley graduates in
lionesta on batninay was about as
complete and pleasureable a success
as could well be wished. Early in the
morning delegations from Titusville
aud other portions began to arrive iu
private conveyances, aud at o:uu a
special train of three coaches, all com
fortably filled steamed into tbe station,
conveying visitors from Franklin, Oi'
City,aod intermediate poiuts,nearlyJall
the men beiug accompanied by their
women folk. At the west end of tbe
bridge a banner bad been swuug over
one of the arches on which was inscrib
ed "welcome," under which the large
crowd passed, headed by tbe silver
cornet band, and no doubt felt that
they were being made doubly welcome
At tbe corner of Elm and Bridge
streets the members of the Bi-Cloride
of Gold Club and their guests formed
a line and were escorted through the
town by the band, tbe procession mak
ing a very formidable showing. A
pleasant grove at she upper end of
town had been selected and arranged
with platlorra and tables where the
speeches were made and tbe bonntiful
lunches were spread. Ou ai rival at
the grounds of the visitors an address
of welcome was delivered by Hon. S. II
Haslet, which was responded to by Mr
Buraon, after which there was a gen
eral baud shakiug and renewal of ac
quaiutauce8hip. At tbe hour of 12
o'clock the patients now being treated
formed the usual line, with coats off
and shirt-sleeves slit, and filed past
Dr. Siggins, who gaye each his "shot'
as he passed, and give all au ocular
demoustration of "bow the old thiug
works." In a short time aftbr dinner
was announced and the audience fell
to devouring tbe good things spread
before them, of which there was enough
and to spare. After dinner there was
more speech-making, a sort of experi
euce meeting, as it were, in which all
who wished had their say. Rain be
gan to sprinkle lightly at about two
o'clock, and the picnio was brought to
a close, the balance of the day being
spent in social converse generally, un
til 6:30, when tbe special train depart
ed with its load of well-pleased visit
ors. Thus ended a day of recreation
long to be remembered, no doubt, by
those who contributed toward its plea
Bures.
At a meeting of the Tionesta Bl-Chlo
ride of Oold Club, on Monday, Sept. 12,
1892, the following resolutions were pass

Insane jealousy causod Frank Garvin,
newspaper artist, to murder his wife at
thoir home in Allegheny, Pa. They were
married on the 6th inst. Murderer in jail.
A peach grower In Wanesboro, Franklin
county, Pa., named Nicodemus, has 2,
000 bushels of peaches to harvest, and gets
per bushel easily. An independent
fortune in sight.
James Brown, of company E. 10th Regt.,
is another of the victims of accidental
death among the Guards stationed at Du
quesne, being struck by a train. He was
from Cooperstown, Venango county, and
aged about 22 years.
Senator Quay lias purchased what is
known as the Matthew Stanley farm, four
niles north of Coatesvlllo, Pa. The Sena
tor passed his boyhood days upon this
farm, being a nephew of Matthew Stanley,
after whom he was named. The farm con
tains 130 acres and the price paid was f 10,-
000.
A peculiar disease has broken out in
some parts of the state which is baffling
the skill of tho doctors. It resembles ma
laria, but the patient losos his hearing
and lies in a soinl conscious state while
under its influence, says an excbaniio.
We have heard of no nlllictions ot the kind
iu the vicinity.
How he knows, or by what svstom of
calculating he arrived at the conclusion we
don't know, but the Franklin News man
has figured that an average waltz takes a
dancer over about three-quarters of a mile.
A square dance makes him cover half a
mile. A girl with a well filled program
travels thus in an evening: Twelve walzos,
nine miles; four other dances at half a
mile apiece, two miles; grand total, eleven
miles.
One of tho Cloafteld conforees at the Con
gressional conference last week said that
in ordor to elect a Republican to Congress
iu this district it was absolutely neecossn
ry to gain some Democratic votes. He
thought Elk county had presented a very
strong candidate a loyal Republican,
typical American workingman and a sol
dier whose war record his children's chll
dren may well be proud of -but, he added
with a twinkle of humor in his eyes, there
is one very serious drawback the man's
name is against him. Where in all the
district could you find a Democrat who
would vote for Cloarwatorf Ridgway Ad
vocote.
A chemist of note in analyzing the best
brands of cigarettes describes as follows;
"There are five ingredients in evory ci
garette, each one of which is calculated to

Dr. Talmago writos: "There is not one
man or woman in ton thousand who can
alford to do without seven or eight hours
sloop. All those stories written alxiut
groat men and women who slopt only
three or four hours a night, make very
interesting reading, but I toll you, my
readers, no man or woman ever kept heal
thy In body and mind for a number of
years with loss than seven hours' sleep,
Amoricans need more sloop than they aro
getting. This lack makes them so nor
vous aud the Insane asylum so populous,
If you can get to bed early, then riso early,
If you cannot get to bed till lute, then rise
late. It may be as Christian for one man
to rise at 8 as it Is for another to rise at 5,
I counsel my readers to get up when they
are rested."
When a child is born in the world the
physician is presont and gets about ten
dollars for officiating at the Important
event. The editor heralds the advent of
the stranger and gets a cursing for making
a mistake as to sex or date of arrival. After
awhile the same child becomes a man ; the
minister la called to perform the marriage
ceremony, and the parson walks off with
a ten dollar bill in bis pocket for his
trouble. The editor is again called upon
and chronicles this event and drawing on
Ills imagination to make the bride and
groom the best and most respectablo peo
ple In the county. His only pay Is to be
asked for a few free sample copies of his
paper to send to some absont friend. Iu
timo tho once baby, once happy groom
but now a woll advanced man, is brough
down by death. Again the physician is
called in and makes his bill ; the under
taker is present and officiates at the fu
noral, and iu time wants one hundred
dollars for the lust sad rites, where the
editor is expected to complete the drama
by holding up the deceased as a model
goutleuian, and who at the present is sing
ing tho song of the Redeemer around the
throne of God lu tho New Jerusalem. The
probabilities are at the same time that the
baby, the groom, and the dead man, bus
been so Infernally stingy that lie stinted
his wife and children, and had never con
trib u tod one cent to the support of his
local paper. What doos the editor get
