Marienville Express.
We've had wonderfully fine weather
during most of August, being cool and
comfortable, but for tni past four or five
days the weather man has given us a
taste of the real stull. It's that clammy,
sticky kind that sort o' boils you, and the
more you try to keep cool the stickier
you get. In more tliau one sense is it
difficult to "keep sweet."
The first attempt of the Salvation
Army to interest the people of this vi
cluity in their religious meetings Is now
Vicing made, a large tent having been
erected on the mantel factory lot, in
which meetings have been held nightly
since Saturday evening. The attendance
has been good and the interest inanilost-
ed has been quite marked;
Mushrooms, they say, are riponing in
the pasture fields, but It's early for the
best, variety, and you'd better wait till
later on, about cbestnutting time, when
they're plentier and better, and by all
means wait till you know the difference
between the real thing and the common
toadstool, or y might have a deuce
of a lime, with doctor bills to boot.
Here la a fine opportunity for the
pross agents of the "food" cofToes to point
a moral and adorn a tale at least they
should be able to find good "grounds" for
doing so, savs the Bradford Record. Ac
cording to news reports, the death of a
Chicago man, whose career was cut short
last week, was attributed to coffee. At
breakfast lie complained about the qual
ity of the article, and bis wife bit him on
the head with tho stove lid;
It is not generally known thnt the
Pennsylvania State law requires a per
son to slop, look and listen before driv-
ing'across a railroad track. Unless the
provisions are.heeded and- a person is
struck by the cars, there is no possibility
for securing a judgment for damages in
case suits are brought to recover. The
courts hold that there was contributory
negligence and generally, nonsuit the
plaintiff before the case is fully tried.
This is worthy of notice.
It may interest housewives to know
how flies may be effectually disposed of
without the use of poison. Take half a
teaspoonful of black pepper powder, one
tcaspoonful of brown sugar and one tea
spoonful of cream. Mix ingredients well
together In a saucer and place In a room
where flies are troublesome and they will
very soon disappear. This recipe is taken
from an exchange and we will not be re
sponsible if it "don't work," but its sim
plicity makes it easy to try.
-The schools of the borough open for
the year on Monday next. All parents
and guardians of children of school age,
have been or will be notified in regaid to
the law governing compulsory attend
ance ot pupils, and it is the desire of the
school board that the law shall be strictly
complied with. In fact it must be, but it
iirlioped parents and others having con
trol of pupils will co-operate heartily
with the board in the enforcement of the
law's provisions.
That the AVarren jail needs fixing
badly is evidenced by the fact that prison
ers are escaping with about as much reg
ularity as clork work and a' out as much
case as rolling otra log. Some time dur
ing last Wednesday night two men, in
carcerated and awaiting trial for theft,
made good their escape and have not yet
been recaptured. Their names are Ed
win Snyder and Thomas Riquor. The
County commissioners have offered a re
ward of 1 100 for their return. Tin jail
is booked for a complete overhauling and
remodeling, but the work has not yet
been commenced.
The humble aud once disposed eldoi-
berry is now riponing and rapidly find

The lime was, and not so many years
ago, either, when tho people were dis
cussing the best means of getting rid of
the elderbushes, and many columns were
written on the subject. Like the Canada
thistle and the daisy they were
counted an intolerable nuisance on the
farm, but to-day the farmer who has a
healthy hedge of elders on bis premises
iiibj count himself lucky, for, when
properly pui. up, few lieriies that grow
have the elderheiry down on fine flavor
and juciness.
The Sharon New tells of a girl who
found a package of love letters that had
been written to her mother by her father
before they married. The daughter saw
that she could have a little sport and
read them to her mother, substituting
her own name for that of her mother and
a fine young man for that of her father,
Ti e mother jumped up and down in her
chair, shifted her feet, seemed terribly
disgusted, and forbade her daughter hav
ing anything to do with a young man
who would write such sickening and
nonsensical stutf to a girl. When the
young lady handed the letters to her
mother to read, the house bf came so still
Hut one could hear tho gras growing In
the back yard.
The following is said to be a good
way to preserve rpirs. Have a kettle ot
boiling water on the stove, and into this
dip the e. gs. Let them remain as long
as it takes you to count ten fast. This
receipt has been in use in one family for
40 or 50 years. The eggs cannot be told
from perfee'ly fresh eggs, ss the hot wa
ter cooks that fine inner skiu, aud there
can be no evaporation. There is no taste
of lime about them put up in this way.
It is a fine thing for country w men who
want to hold for better prices, and also
for the city women who want to purchase
for future use while eggs are cheap.
--The ball game between the St. Louis
Stars, the "bloomer girls," and the Tio
nesta team last Friday, was oue of the
best attended games of the season, but
that didn't make it the most interesting
by any means. Six girls and three men !
pitcher and catcher and short-stop
compose the nine, the latter being good
players, and one or two of the girls play
ing quite well for their sex. The game
started all tight, and looked like it might
be a good one, but quickly developed Into
a rather listless affair, with the girls at
the entire mercy of the home tea n. The
score at the end of the game stood 18-4 in
favor of the borne boys.
The Maccabees at Erie are starting a
movement for the erection of a Maccabee
Home, similar to those maintained by the
Odd Fellows. -The officers of the State
hive are interested iu the proposed insti
tution and it is the intention ot the State
hive to einiit the co-operation of the 42,.
000 or more active members in Pennsyl
vania In contributing voluntarily to the
project. One dollar' will be a?ked from
each member to form tho fuud upon
which building operations can start. A
site of 300 acres will be purchased aud a
structure with 40 large rooms, erected at
the beginning. Additions will be erected
annually, as required. The home will be
sustained by contributions.
It is one of the invariable rules of the
P. R. R. Company, as with almost all
others, that "in blocking or shilling cars
over highways or street crossings where
no watchman Is stationed, a man must be
sent ahead to the crossing, to guard
aguinst accident to teams or persons."
Railroad men failing to observe the forego
ing should be promptly reportod. Block
ing crossings Is also a violation of the
oompany's rules, aiid;should be dealt with
accordingly. The company expects their
orders to be observed, and the inconven
ience to tho public in most part has been
caused by their employes. Anioyances
of this kind are quite trequont at the sta
tion heie, aud they are often of the kind
that could as well bo avoided if the em
ployes were disposod to be courteous to
public. There should be no more of it,
and a train crew which is guilty of such
conduct should be promptly reported to
headquarters.
Tno UtT Marienville.
We're taking 'em in bunches now,
and that, to", off the "champions." Yes
torday our friends from the summit came
down with blood In their eyes, and the
home team didn't do a thing to 'em on
the ball field. The first game was called
at 10:30, and aftor the tirst shiver was
over our boys settled down to playing
the game which was full ot snap and
ginger from start to finish. Bankhead
and Lawrence formed the battery for the
locals, aud Reyner and Graybil for the
visitors. Both batteries did flue work,
aud the game closed with a score of 12-8
iu favor of Tionesta. The score:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 0-n.
Tionesta 4 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 -12
Marienville 20 2 003010-8
The al'tprnoon game was the crackajack
of the pair, and every iuch of ground was
fought to a finish. Clayson.oneof Kane's
crack pitchers, was in the box for Mar
ienville, with Graybill behind the bat,
but the latter was obliged to change
places with Keating on acoount of the of
fsets of a hard fall received in tho fore
noon game. McMillen aud Lawrence
did the battery work for Tiouesta, which
was gilt edged. It lohked a little like
victory for the visitors when they piled
up three runs in the first talf of the first
inning, while the locals wore retired in
their first two innings with goosa eggs,
but in the third they made a great
spurt, piling up six runs. At no time
after that were the visitors in any danger
of winning the game, although thev put
up a ititf light for it to the end, with the
result that the game closed 9-7 for our
side. Tho score :
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9-n.
Tionesta 0 0 6 1 0 0 2 0 9
Marienville 300000202-7
It was a field day for Tionesta, sure,
and both games were won on their mer
its. Harry Can field umpired both, and
not a kick was registered during either,
which might perhaps bo called the fea
ture of the day.
"Buck" Clayson wont to Tionesta this
morning, where ho will assist the Mariu
ville team in their game with she Tiones
ta clubthlsafternoon. Kano Republican,
"Buck" played well and tried hard to
wiu the game, but even his strong sup
port was unavailing.
More Sport For Xionestn.
The Sa-qua-'.in-gct Cricket Club, of
Tionesta played their first game on Sat
urday afternoon last. The name of the
club is the ancient Indian name of Tio
nesta, and signifies "the place of council."
For temporary organization Capt.
Kelly was appointed of the 1st ten, and
J. A, Hart of tho 2d ten. All tho mem
bers of the club not being present eight
or ten substitutes, "pick-ups," were en
gaged in the game.
Judge Irwin acted as umpire. The
runs made by Capt. Kelly's side was as
follows: Kelly 10, Campbell 2, Malha 5,
Roberts 1, Zihniser 0, Wallers 7, Clyde
Shriver 2, Carsou 11, Silas Shriyer 7,
Wenk 0, Uonry 0. Total 45.
Capt. Hart's side Clark 0, Robertson 0.
L. Shriver 0, Bowman 0, Reck 0, C'hilds
0, LedoburO, 11. Kelly 0, Hagerly 7, II
lingworth 10. Total 17.
The superior batting of Illingworlh
saved the Hart side from a whitewash.
The introduction of the English nation
al game into our town is due to the ef
forts of Judge Irwin, who played Hie
game when a young man, when It was
quite popular in this country, being fin
ally displaced by America's great game
of base ball. One can see whore the game
might become quite exciting and afford
no end of fun for both players and spec
tators.

It Hever Fails.
Thompson's Barosma has never been known to fail to cure any
disease of the Kidneys, Liver and Uladder ; also Rheumatism, Sciatica,
Palpitation of the Heart, Nervous Debility, and Female Weakness.
Thompson's Ilarosma reduces all the inflammation, neutralizes the acid
and dissolves gravel, carrying off all matter that is poisonous to the
blood, stomach, heart, kidneys and liver. It is purely vegetable and
pleasant to take. No opiate iu any form is used iu its manufacture.
It can be taken by all ages and has cured many children of non-retention
or bedwetting.
