A Rapid Growth
One of the notable examples of the
progress of business education In this
country la furnished by the rapid growth
of the Meailvllle Commercial College, of
Meadvillo, Pa.
This school was organized in 1887 Miss
S. Ii. Hoyd, the present principal and
proprietor, and the success of the school
has lioon phenomenal. Starting with one
small room and three students of short
hand the school has grown until it now
occupies eluvon rooms, has a faculty of
ten toachers and numbers students by
the hundred. One of the Important rea
sons for this rapid growth has been tho
policy pursued by the school. The best
teachers, have been employed, the boat
courses of study Installed, and good posi
tions furnlshod for students after they
have completed their work. The name
"The school that gets results" Is well
merited, and prospective pupils should
sond for catalogue and Utorature.

One of the best known and successful
physicians and surgeons oi Philadelphia
said recently that the biting of finger nails
is the chief cause of the majority of cases
of appendicitis that are operated on daily
at the various hospitals. Nothing Is
more likely to cause the appendix to
become inflamed and subsequently per
forated than the hard piecesol nails bllten
off the ends of fingers and swallowed. In
one hospital in Philadelphia last week
there were nine persons operated upon
for appendicitis, and seven were caused
by bitiug of the finger nails.-Ex. One
often sees a person biting bis or her
finger nails, but who ever heard of the
nasty habit of swallowing the bits.

A blacksnake fully eight feet long,
and some conservative snake estimators
figure it as being at least 10 feet, was
killed at Baum's station by Engineer Al.
Sittig on Thursday afternoon. The
slaughter was entirely Impromptu on bis
part. He was In charge of the engine
drawing the local freight when be saw
the snake on the rails in front of blm and
thought it waa the limb of a tree. The
rear aud front ends of the snake were
concealed in the underbrush at each side
of the right-of-way aud the main portion
of the reptile's body was between the two
rails. Before it could escape the engine
ran it down and owing to the mangling
recelyed it was impossible to secure a
correct measurement. Engineer Sittig
was not called upon to put in a "C. T.
75" report to headquarters when he
brought in bis engine. Derrick, 14th.
Fire at West Hickory.
Monday at midnight fire broke out in
the grocery store of Isaac Siggins at West
Hickory and it wasdestroyed completely,
together with about all of the merchan
dise. A butcher shop adjoining, and a
dwelling hou?e owned by Wm. Elder, of
Warren, but occupied by James Bing
inan and family, were also burned to the
ground. The fire seems to bave caught
In the rear of the store building from
some unkuown cause, and before tho
people were aroused the wbole inside
was a blazing mass. The town is
equipped with a force pump which takes
water from the river, but In this case
there was not sufficient hose to reach the
fire. Mr. Wheeler, at Endeavor, sent a
train over with a string of hose, which
aided materially in saving adjoining
buildings.
Mr. Siggins bad an insurance of JI,!KH)
on his buildings and goods, whicb will
not cover bis loss by several hundred
dollars, Mr. Bingman's loss was not
large as about all of bis household goods
were saved. Mr. Elder bad a small in
surance on the dwelling, but bardly suf
ficient to cover bis loss.
It is suspected that the fire was started
by burglars, as people liviug near declare
they beard footsteps In the store shortly
before It was discovered.

RECENT DEATHS.
8. J. HKTLEY.
Sylvester James Setley was born near
Cooperstown, Pa., February 25th, 1844,
and died at his borne in Tionesta, July
14tb, 1!H. In 1852 his father, George
Setley, came with his family to Forest
county and purchased a farm on Hunter
Run, near Tionesta. Here at seventeen
years or age he responded to the call of
President Lincoln and was enrolled Octo
ber l!Ub, lWil, as a private in Co. F, 58lh
Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, He
participated in several expeditions; took
part in three raids, was In several skir
mishes, and Dear Newborn, North Caro
lina, April 17th, 1873, be was wounded by
a minie ball through the ankle joint, re
sulting in the amputation of the leg below
the kuee. As a soldier he wss brave and
faithful, as many ol bis comrades can
testify.
On May 2d, 1875, be was united in mar
riage with Miss Helena Thompson. Two
children blessed this union, Irene, who
died in infancy, and 'Ma, who died ten
years ago, so that bis widow, who ior
several years has been in frail health, is
left alone in this hour of sorrow. Mr.
Setley was a member of Forest Lodge,
No. 184, A. O. IT, W., also of Capt. Geo.
Stow Post. G. A. R. For five years he
held tbe office of County Treasurer, bad
been a Justice of tbe Peace for twenty
one years and deputy Prothonotary for
sixteen years.
During the pastorate of the Rev. Alva
Wilder he united with the M. E. church
and was a member of the official board at
the time of his death. ' Uis illness lasted
for more than a year. The past five
weeks he was confined to bis bed and
suffered continuously. The nature of tbe
disease, which at tbe first was somewhat
obscure, devoloped into tuberculosis of
the bowels, and in spiteof the physicians'
skill steadily progressed until death gave
blm blessed relief from pain. In bis
doBtb we bave another soldier grave to
deck with flowers, another mound to re
mind us that the brave aud noble men
who rallied around the flag and preserved
to us tbe Union, are rapidly responding
to the final roll call. May their last days
be full of peace and prosperity.
Beside Ida widow, Mr, Setley Is sur
vived by one brother, Wlnlield S. Setley,
of Newtown Mills, tbis county, and two

Clarion State Normal counts herself
fortunate Indeed In the honor bestowed
upon her by a philanthropic citizen of
Forest county who made twelve scholar
ships available withiu her halls. Even
more fortunate are the boys and girls of
the public schools of Forest county. To
them this offer brings opportunities such
as rarely come to elomentary Bchools in
town or country. The bestowal of these
honors ought to serve as a great incen
tive to regular attendance aud a closer
application on tho part of pupils to the
daily work' of the school. It will surely
stimulate a healthy Interest in the school
activities of that couuty.
We regret that the benefactor is unwill
ing to permit bis name to be made pub
lic. This very fact, however, emphasizes
the unselfishness of the giver and Miows
the spirit whicb underlies true giving.
All honor to him who makes opportuni
ties for the youth of our country to se
cure the advantages of an education.
His patriotic spirit should be emulated
by all those who are In a position to aid
in the work of training for American cit
izenship. Clarion Republican.

Tho Marloiivllle rooters swallowed a
bitter duso today when the Rodulyll'o ball
tossers wont over and walked all around
the team there, the score standing 13 to 7
at the end of the seventh inning. Iu the
first half of the eighth Redclyffe scored
four more runs. In Marionville's half,
Keller, the scoror, doctored the batting
list and opened up with the heavy bitters,
Redclyffe protested, while the umpire,
Reyner, refused to investigate and called
thogame, liaight, for Redclyffe, was very
effective and kept the hitsscattered, strik
ing out thirteen. Mi-Maulers and Keat
ing for Mariunville were bit hard and
freely by our boys, as the score shows.
Features of tbe gumo were running catch
es by Bradon and llooo, and Hillard's
back-hauded sacrilice.
