TiiKlariner ought to have the same
right to go out and get a rabbit for his
dinner, if he can catch It, that he baa to
butcher a pig or kill a ralf. The rabbit
belongs to the farmer. Tilusvllle Herald.
The beef trust baa sent the price of
pork "a glimmering" having made an
advance of from two to six coots per
bound. The trust is evidently going to
squeeze the people for enough money to
pay the costs of prosecution which baa
been instituted against it in several states,
as well as the federal government.
Orhkbs are being sent out from the
postolllcs department instructing the
clerks in the postoffices throughout the
country to put the stamp through the
window with the sticky side up. This is
to prevent that part of the stamp that is
"licked" from coming in contact with the
window ledge and possible contamina
tion. CONORR-SMAN NELSON P. WHEELER,
of Endeavor, who was in the city yester
day meeting his many friends, is making
a lively and good natured canvass for re
nomination. Mr. Wheeler is not a quitter
and is popular with a large number of
persons in the district. He stands oo the
record he has made during the two terms
be has been in Congress and concedes It
is the rik-bl of the electorate to choose.
Oil City Derrick, Feb. 2i.
"A hex ia a bird," is the official de
claration of the United States treasury de
partment. Its customs experts made
this ruling in response to the inquiries of
one of the departments correspondents,
who called attention to tun fact that the
Payne tariff law lev;..!' 3 duty of 5 cents
dozen on hens eggs, while at tbe same
time bird's eggs are admitted duty free.
Tbe paragraph imposing the duty ol 5
cents a dozen on hen'a eggs is specific, so
that although a hen is officially declared
to be a bird its products will have to pay
the tariff rate.
Wrong Views of the Census.
Washington, D. C, March 2, 1910.
Letters from the census supervisors to
the United States Census Bureau show
the erroneous apprehension of acansider
able element of tbe population that their
answers to tbe enumerators' questions la
the next cennus, beginning April 15, this
year, will cause increased taxation, legal
entanglements, or injurious consequences
to their persons and property.
In order to quiet such unfounded fears,
which would, unless removed, materially
affect the accuracy of tbe census, tbe bu
reau has prepared an official statement
relative to the decennial census, Its ori
gin, purpose, and uses.
This statement should furnish complete
as'urance to those concerned that infor
mation given the enumerators is held by
the Census Bureau in the strictest confi
dence with reference to tbe identity of tbe
Informants, as required by the policy of
tbe bureau and commanded by the law oi
the United States.
Tbe bureau earnestly hopes that clergy
men priests, physicians, school-teachers,
employers, and other public spirited citi
zens who come in contact with large
numbers of people, will cooperate with
the bureau by telling persons who are
believed to entertain erroneous opinions
of the census tbe real facts and urging
them to give full replies to tbe enumera
tors. Teachers are particularly requested
to speak of the census to tbe school chil
dren and ask them to tell their pareuta
about it.
The statement Issued by the bureau ex
plaius that the Constitution requires a
census of the population to be taken every
ten years In order to reapportion state
representation in the National House of
Itepresentatives. It is the means also to
ascertain the increase in the population,
agriculture, industries and resources of
the nation since the last census.
It is emphatically declared, by the
statement, that the information sought
from the people of the United States Is
used solely for general statistical pur
poses. It will neither be published nor
lined in any other way to disclose facts re
garding any individual or enterprise.
The ceusus it goes on to say, is not, never
has been, and can not be employed to ob
tain information that can be used In any
way in tbe assessment of property for
purposes of taxation or the collection of
taxes, either national, state, or local; or
for deportation proceedings, extradition
measures, army or navy conscription, In
ternal-revenue investigations, corapul
aory school attendance, child-labor law
prosecutions, quarantine regulations, or
in any way to affoct the life, liberty, or
property ol any person.
It points out that replies to the enu
merators are and must be held by tbe
CViibus Bureau in strict and absolute con
fidence. All the bureau officials, super
visors' clerks, enumerators, and inter
prefers, before entering upon their duties
are obliged to take a solemn oath not to
disclose any Information they may ob
tain, except to the Census Bureau, and a
violation of tbe United States law in re
gard to this oath means a f 1,000 fine or
imprisonment for two years, or both, in
the discretion of the court.
ARBITRATION PROBABLE
Market Street Merchants Active In Ef
fort to Bring About Peace.
Philadelphia. March 1. Telegrams
were sent to St. I.ucion, Fla., urging
Senator Jim McNichoI and Recorder
Billy Vare and a company of chosen
Republican captains to hurry home
and save Philadelphia from the dan
gers of a general strike.
The Impression strengthens hourly
that the Central Labor Union was not
binding when It ordered a general
sympathetic strike.
Lost Battle It Had Practically Won.
The Philadelphia Rapid Transit
company, for various reasons, Is In
file curious position of being about to
lose a strike that It has won, a dilem
ma brought upon Itself by the snub It
gavo to the clergymen of the city
when It told the ministers that It
would not arbitrate anything. The
pertinacity of one man, George H.
Eiwle, one of three city representa
tives on the P. R. T. board of directors,
required the company- to take that
stand.
Previously the sympathies of a pub
lic that hud never learned to love the
P. U. T. were with the company.
The strikers were willing to arbi
trate, and It Is known positively that
they would have agreed to the decis
ion of a board of arbitration even If
the board had eliminated the question
of exclusive recognition of their union.
As things stand now, It Is ten to
one that the 100,000 men that a gen
eral strike will call out will respond
to the call unless the Transit com
pany decides to leave the points of dif
ference between Itself and Its men
to a board of arbitration.
Half a dozen movements were start
ed to compel the P. R. T. to arbitrate.
Nobody wants a general strike, not
even the union men who are prepar
ing to walk out, but the town Is thor
oughly convinced that a general strike
will come.
Market Street Merchants Act.
When this became well nigh cer
tain the big banks took a hand in the
game. The banks are keenly Inter
ested In preventing a general strike.
They put the solution of the problem
up to one of the most powerful insti
tutions in this city the Market Street
Merchants' association. Outside of
the Republican machine, there is no
single body of men who can accom
plish more when they set about to do
It than the Market street merchants.
The merchants, headed by Ellis
Gimbel and Samuel D. Lit, got togeth
er and agreed tentatively to two plans
of action. One plan was to call on
the Boss McNichoI and Boss Vare,
who settled the strike last June when
it threatened to become extremely un
pleasant. The second was to make di
rect representations to the P. R. T.
that something would drop if the com
pany continued to hold out.
If Senator McNichoI and Recorder
Vare respond to the call, they are ex
pected to do several things. They
will, at the direction of the merchants
of Market street, put through the
council a resolution requesting from
the city fathers that the company and
the strikers get together and arbi
trate. It is said also there are Indi
vidual .members of the board of direc
tors of the Rapid Transit that will not
turn their ears away when McNichoI
and Vare begin to talk.

A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF MRS.
SARAH HUNTER.
11 V HKRSKl.K.
Continued from last week
When my little sister was a year old
my mother and her father and brother
went to Maryland horse back, which
place tbey reached In seven days and in
lending to return In three weeks, but
owing to the conclusion of some relatives
to return with them thev remained three
months in which time f, ol course, was
presiding housekeeper, which consisted
in doing the work for father and four
children. I milked the two cows, churned
the butter, and did the cook in a, took
care of my little sister, and the ueighbors
would often come in and say that every
thing looked so neKt and cleau. I have
told you we had to wear home made linen
and I will tell you bow I washed. As I
bad no soap to wash with, 1 would rub
them with my bands and I had a small
bag of ashes wbicb 1 boiled with the
clothes; then I would iron and give the
children clean clothes every Sunday. By
Ibis time our neighbors had commenced
to mark out roads. Tbe roads were
marked by taking an ax and blazing or
culling tbe bark off on one side of tbe
tree. Our neighbors were kind and in
flax-pulling they would unite and help
each other pull flax. In ISO!) I went to
school three mouths. Iu 1810 my brother
James was born. Also this year one of
my father's best horses was bitten by a
snake and lived but a Bhort time. After
it was bitten this left him again with but
one horse, but having a pair of two-year-old
steers be would yoKe them up aud
hitch the horse before them and have me
ride the horse, which made quite a team,
but as I did not know which way haw or
gee was he tied a red string around my
thumb so I could tell. When my brother
James was very sick and came near dy
ing at this time, Rev. Jacob (i rover
preached at my grandfather's, a distance
of about two miles from my father's. My
mother took James to the meeting and
had b'm baptized and from that time be
soon regained bis health. The preacher
also gave him a small rattan riding whip,
which tbe little fellow considered a very
nice plaything, and which from bis
speedy recovery to health impressed my
father with tbe idea that this little whip
possessed a great bealing elUcacv and was
highly prized by him. Whenever any of
the children were sick tie would Immedi
ately give them this whip, believing in
so doing they would soon be restored to
health.
The 15th of October after, I remember,
was a very pleasant nay ; we were dig'
ging potatoes. On the night following we
had a Bevere snow storm, the snow fall
ing a foot deep and did not go oil' until
the next March, which prevented us from
digging all our potatoes and during the
winter tbe deer came on and pawed most
oi tue remaining potatoes up. in tl- l
Lad another sister born. Iu 1813 the cir
cuit preacher found his way to our house
and preached, lie was from tbe Haiti
more conference. Also in June of this
year my mother was bitten by a copper
head snake, but it did not prove serious.
In August following mv father was draft
ed to go to Erie, but the day after the
draft my mother was again bitten by a
snske. which prevented father from go
ing. In January, 1814, my father was
drafted again anil taken to Isrie, leaving
us to do the best we could. We had
sheep and wool, so I learned to spin. We
also had geese which supplied us with
feathers, so we could make beds, there
fore, we were able to get along quite com
fortably. A little incident occurred
when l was twelve years old which I
will relate here. My uncle went out and
killed a large bear aud he told me if I
would pull tbe fur out of tbe bear's skin
snd spin it and knit him a pair of stock
ings and mittens be would give me a dol
lar a pair, which offer I accepted, and
upon presenting him with the etockincs
and mittens I received the two dollars,
which was the ( rat money I ever earned.
In 1814 I bad a brother born, also in this
year I, with eight others, Joined the M.
E. church in Richland. In lSlj my
brother John was badly bitten by a snake
while carrying water in the field, hut not
fatally. In 1810 my father made up bis
mind to sell and move up the river. Ac
cordingly be came up and hired what is
known as the Wintor Island in Tionesta
and sowed it with oats. Some time after
old Mr. Hunter sent bis son William
Hunter down to tell father he must weed
bis oats. Accordingly father prepared to
go and when nearly ready to start young
Hunter wanted to know tf Sally could
not go along with tbem. Father consent
ed and we three started out horse back to
perform the necessary work. After our
return young Air. Hunter raid us
another visit. Everything being
satisfactory, we struck tbe bargain
and were married the 6th day of August,
isiti. The next day we started out on
horseback to visit bis folks, who were
living about thirty-five miles away. And
now the thought comes home, "I must
paddle my own canoe." My parents
were well pleased with tbe match and
gave me a very good setting out, which
consisted of a three-year-old colt, a cow,
two sneets, a learner tied and a chair. In
February we concluded we would go to
housekeeping. Accordingly we built us
a slab house. It contained one door, a
are place and one window, we built it
upon tbe west side of tbe river, tbe same
place where George Hunter's bouse now
stands. There we commenced house
keeping and cultivated what is now
known as the Hunter Island. At that
time large quantities of lumber were
transported down the river in rafts at
times of high water, at which times my
husband acted as pilot and on his return
would often bring me borne vaiious arti
cles of merchandise. I remember tbe
first calico dress I received. My husband
purchased it in Pittsburg and paid fifty
cents per yard for it.
in August or the same vear our daugh
ter Jane was born. In 1818 David Hun
ter built tbe grist mill on tbe same site
where now stands the Hunter grist mill.
During that time I boarded aud did all
tbe work for tbe bands employed on tbe
mm. un February mm ol the same year
I went to a prayer meeting in Tionesta,
a distance of three miles, and there I
gave my heart to tbe Lord and promised
mm it lie would forgive me I would
never forsake nor leave Him, and my
mind Is the same now. It was there in
1810, April 10th, John Hunter was born.
In those days we raised flax and wool,
which material I worked into clothing
for the family. In 1820, June 14lh, Ann
Hunter was born. Westill lived In the
old bouse and cultivated the island. In
1822, March 8th, Margaret Hunter was
born. Iu 1823 we bought one hundred
acres of land for which we paid two bun
dled bushels of corn in payments of fifty
bushels each year. We moved on our
new place the next spring and there we
enjoyed ourselves much better than we
had before. We had hut one mile to go
to cburch and many a pleasant meeting
we had that year. On October Gth of this
year William Hunter was born. In 1824
tbe first steamboat came up the river and
we got on it and took a ride. This year
under tbe smiles of a kind providence
our crops were very good and we were
prospered in our labors. In 1825, Juneltth,
George Hunter was born. Iu 182i, No
vember 2.r)th, Sarah Hunter was born. In
1H28, May 7th, Mary Hunter was born. In
1820 death sent its sorrows to our hearts.
Two of my brothers were laid in the
church yard; one by disease and the other
wuue entering bis bouse, which stood
near tbe creek, was accidentally struck
in the back by a bnllot that was fired at
some ducks on the creek, and lived but a
fow days.

Death of Mrs. Smith.
Prusilla Francis Smith was born in
Wilkins Township, Allegheny county
Pa., Feb. 19, 1828, and died at the
borne ot Jams H. Smith, In Nebraska,
Forest county, Feb. 27, 1010. She was the
daughter of Joseph Hanna, who lived for
a number of years In tbe vicinity of
Franklin, from there locating In Ne
braska. While living thereon May 41b,
1857, she was united Iu marriage to Henry
J. Smith. She was the mother of seven
daughters, threeof whom preceded her to
the spirit land. Her married life was
largely spent In Forest county. A few
years after her marriage they moved to
the west and spent some time In the
States of Indiana, Illinois and M lohlgan,
but the longing for the hills of Pennsyl
vania drew them back to the village they
had left and the remainder of her days
were speut among tbe scenes she loved so
well. Of one experience in her life she
spoke again and again. About fifty years
go, while the family was living In
Beaver Valley, shortly after tbe birth of
child she was takeu seriously ill and
grew rapidly worse for few hours, when
apparently she died. Her body was
partially prepared lor burial and In this
state she remained for day and night,
unable to give any evidence of life, yet
all tbe time conscious of what was said
and done Iu ber presence. In early life
she united with tbe Cumberland Presby
terian church, but moving from that
community and there being no church of
that denomination in this county, she be
came mom bur of tbe M. E. cburch. She
had been in poor health the greater part
of the winter but was improving so rapid
ly tbat her recovery teemed assured,
wheu ou Sunday morning as she was
seated In her chair w itbmt warning she
passed away. Since tbe death of her
husband nine years ago she has made her
home with ber daughter, Mrs. James H.
Smith. The other surviving children are
Mrs. Frod Walte, of Rock Creek Station
Ohio, Mrs. D. J. Bly, of Whig Hill, and
Mrs. J. A. Jones, of Tionesta. Twenty
eight grandchildren and fourteen great
grandchildren also survive her. Funeral
