An alarm of fire about tdx o'clock
Ia.t Sunday evening brought out the
hose carts and alargo contingent of the
citizens in double quick time. The lo
cality of the would-be blaze was in the
dwelling occupied by James Buxton, on
Hiland street, and was from the usual
cause defective nuo. The firo had got
ten considerable start and only needed a
little vent or draft to have mado a big
blA7.o. A tlasli or two from the hose Bet
tied nil difficulty, but caused quite a little
damage and annoy anco to the household
effects of Mr. Buxton's family.
A. V. Albaugh is on his rounds de
livering that leading work on the lato
war known as the "United States in War
with Spain, and History of Cuba." It is
a volume of nearly 600 pages, profusely
and very handsomely illustrated, and is
pronounced by leading critics to bo ic
book on the lato war, covering as it does
the events leading up to the conflict, as
well as tho report of tho Paris peace com
mission. The fact that Mr. Albaugh has
taken orders for over sevon hundred cop
ies of the work in so remarkably short a
time speaks louder than words can for
the excolloncy of tho book.
With Its last issuo the Venango Spec
tator, so gracefully presided over by our

the fifty-first year of its existence. The
paper was founded 50 years ao by the
late A. P. Whitaker, who was almost
continuously.its editor from that time
until about two years ago when he passed
over to the great majority. The career of
tho Spectator, like erery newspaper of
t!;at ago, has been somewhat ciieckoiod,
though it has enjoyed uioro, perhaps of
the pleasures of tho journalistic career
than the average. The paper has fallen
nto eminmitly capablo hands, aud will
never deteriorate so long as Mr. Irwin
shapes its destinies. We bid God-spend
to him aud bis journal as they blurt
upon their second half century run.

Constable's Fees.
The decision of tho Supremo Court a
few days ago upon a tst caso from Lan
caster county, says the Philadelphia
Press, means thousands of dollars in
crease in the cost to counties of the Slate,
and at the same time greater revenues
for tho constabulary.
Constable Price, of Lancaster county,
claimed 50 cents in fees for each witness
subpoenaed and ten cents for every mile
he traveled. The Commissioners refused
to pay the bill, and in a suit to recover
Judge Livingston or the lower court de
cided that the constable was entitled to
but 50 cents, no matter how many names
were in the aubpooua, and in mileage
was entitled to each and every mile nec
essarily traveled in tho service of the
writ. The commissioners appealod to
tho Supreme Court, which reversed the
lower court as to the euhpootia, gave the
constable 50 cents for each aud every
witness on his subpoena, and held that
the cunstablo was only entitled to ten
cents per mile traveled one way. The
Commissioners next appealed to tbe Su
preme Court, which has just affirmed the
derision of the Superior Court.
Those familiar with Quarter Sessions
cases know that there are many witness
es in each trial, and thai the costs for
criminal caws will now be largely aug
mented. Prior to iho change iu the law
making 50 cent the logal fee for sub
poenaing witnesses the lee was 15 cents,
which was considered fair compensation.

Oil City Ability Recognized.
(From The Derrick.)
Di. August Morck, Jr., of (his city, has
boen made an honorary member of the
Acadeune Parisenne Des Inventeurs. of
Paris, for the advancement and progress
in tho science of theoretical and applied
optholmology. With the letter notifying
him of this distinction there camo a di
ploma showing his right to a seat with
that body, a gold medal and the ensign
&f the academy. All of these are in the
highest style of art. Tho diploma is a
beautiful steel engraving, tho medal is
nearly two inches in diameter and suit
ably inscribed. The ensign is a sunburst
n silver, the center of black enamol, and
bears in silver theinitialsof the academy.
It is suspended from a tri-colored ribbon.
1'he distinction came without solie!ta-
tlon and was entirely unexpected. Dr.
Morck is the inventor of the lenticular
and perfection bifocal lenses that are ao
ceptedasa wonderful advancement ir
appliances for correcting the sight of tho
human eye, and are covered bv patents
n every civilized country.
Some six months ago Dr. Morck, who
has written several treatises that are
acknowledged to be of great merit, con
triouted au article upon the scionce of
correcting the eyes, to the Optholmic
Journal, of New York City. The article
was widely commented upon and copied
n all ol the leading journals of this class,
not only in this country, but iu France,
Germany and in England. It was uu
doubtedly the merit of this article, to
gether with the distinction that bad been
gained by the invention or tho bifocles,
that led to tbe honor being eon forrod upou
Dr. Morck. The letter is given in full :
"PAms. December (1. 1898.
