An exchange notes that Postmaster
Geueral Hitchcock has issued orders to
employes of the postolllce department to
paint everything led. Wine jolors and
pale, sickly reds will not do; r-e-d is the
word. Every delivery wagon, city, par
cel post and rural free delivery vehicle
must be red. All mall boxes through
out the United Slated must be red. The
only protest came from the rural carriers,
who say that In tbeir red wagons they
will be chased by all the bulls and tutkny
gobblers, to say nothing of the dogs,
along Iheir routes.
A contemporary tells of a novel con-
contribution basket I r churches. If a
person drops a quarter or more in the
basket there Is silence; If he drops a dime
in bell will ring, a nickel sounds a whistle
and a penny explodes a blank cartridge.
If one pretends to keep asleep when the
box Is passed, It awakens hlin with a
watchman's rattle, and a kodao takes bis
picture. Unfortunately the name and
address of the inventor are Dot mentioned
for there are certainly a number of
church stewards In the couniry who
would like to get Into communication
with him.

For one whole week the price of oil
baa not risen, but haa remained station
ary at (2 50 the barrel, and those -who
were looking forward to a $3 00 market or
hettei seem doomed to disappointment.
Nearly everybody, however, Is satisfied
with the present price and will be happy
If tbe powers that be permit It to stay
there. There Is a growing belief in tbe
theory that the big fellows have been
running the price up for the purpose of
freezing out the small competitors, which
theory Is to be Investigated by the de
partment of justice at Washington, and
should It develop that there ia an under
standing and concert of action between
the aforesaid big companies, tbe Attorney
General might conclude that It would
come under the head of a criminal trust
By an arrangement with tbe Proper
Bros. Oil Co., the Tionesta Oas company

since wblcb the supply has been all that
Is needed and consumers aie correspond
Ingly happy. It required about three
thousand feel of pipe to connect up tbese
wells, and it was no easy matter to get
this on the spur ol the moment, bt.t by
keeping the telephone wires warm foi
some hours the gas company was able
finally to locate a sutllcient amount and
get It on the ground Sunday morning. It
is not at all probable, with tbe extra sup
ply of gas thus secured, that there will be

Some Fine Timber.
ur people have been regaled by rare
sight during tbe past week while tbe
linn of Coleman, Watson Co. were en
gaged in hauling some virgin pine logs
to the P. R. R station here for i-blpmeot
to Buffalo, N. Y., where tbe logs will be
sawed Into deck plank for steamers. It
will be about our last chance to see such
timber In this immediate vicinity and
the sigb&of these logs was a revelation to
many who did 'trot believe tbat such tine
timber waa growing only a few miles
from town. Tbe logs were out on the
Clapp tract in Tionesta township and were
shipped In the rough. There were 41
logs in the shipment, ranging from 20 to
3-4 feet in length. Some of tbe logs scaled
more than 1.000 feet each and tbe total
scale lor the 41 logs was 27,813 feet. We
are not informed as to the price paid, but
any lumbermen who have tbat kind of
timber to sell can name tbeir own price
ami get it, Tbe timber waa purchased by
U. Elias dc Bros., of Buffalo, and al tbe
same time Ibey purchased 1,000,000 feet
of pine lumber piled lu the yards of Ibe
Coleman, Watson A Co. mill at the mouth
of Johns Run. Tbis lumber will be
hauled here aud shipped at once if an ice
bridge can be made on which tbe stuff
cuu be brought across Tlonecta creek.

Did it ever dawn upon you gentle

write Ibe editor calling his attention to a

totally consumed by fire, together with
all tbe household goods and contents last
Thursday forenoon, A young daughter,
with two smaller children, was In tbe
house when it took fire and she riscued
tbe little ones. Before assistance arrived
tbe flames bad gathered such headway as
to preclude tbe saving of any of tbe
household effects. Tbe fire was caused
by wiudow curtain coming lo contact
with an open-front gas stove. Mr. Irwin's

By tbe burning of the Shaw House, one
of Sheffield's principal hotels, Friday
nlgbt last, Joseph Gregory, employed as
setter on tbe lumber mill at Mayhurir,

tire broke out shortly after midnight,
having started near the furnace In tbe

many of the inmates and guests were
driven out In their night clothes. Tbe
fact of tbe young man's death waa not
positively known until eleven o'clock
Saturday tnorniug when his body, burued
lo a mere mass, was found and taken
from Ibe ruins in a blanket. It was
known that be bad been a guest of tbe

tbe severe cold be cbsnged bis mind and

proved to be bis death trap. He occupied
a room in tbe second story and bad re

been able to move when tbe flames en
veloped him,

tj Old Tionesta Landmark Burns.
Tbe first fire of any consequence to
take place in Tionesta In a ouuiber of
years occurred Thursday forenoon last,
when G. F. Rodda'a dwelling on tbe
river road near tbe cemetery, was burned
to the ground. Tbe fire originated in a
bedroom over the dining room, and ia
supposed to have caught from tbe flue
which had become defective through the
use of gat, and then Ibe starting of a
wood tire In the dining roon stove that
morning. It bad gained considerable
headway before being discovered. Tbe
nearest tire hydrant is located on Elm
streat, and when tbe hose cart reached
tbe spot it was discovered tbat there was
not sufficient hose to reach the blaze and
by tbe lime more was procured the pro
gress of tbe flames bad been so great tbat
tbere was no stopping them, aud all
efforts were bent toward saving tbe
household goods which was carried on to
such good effect tbat practically all tbe
contents were removed in fair condition.
Mr. Rodda carried $1,100 insurance on
the house which only partially covers lb.
loss.
Tbe building was one of the old-timers
and was built to stay, tbe frame work be
lug of heavy timbers and thoroughly
braced, as was the custom a half century
ago. It was originally built by Williatn
McKinley for Selden T. May upward of
5S years ago, who occupied it until 1863,
wbeu be sold tbe properly to John A.
Dale, and moved to Norristown, Pa.
Judge Dale continued lo reside there un
til his death when the properly passed In
to the hands of his sou-in-law, Hon. E.
L. Davis, About three yeara ago Mr,
Rodda purchased tbe property from a
Miss Wbittealo, and bad made a num
ber of improvements about tbe premises,
which bad been allowed lo run down
considerably,
Mr, Rodda and family have taken up
temporary quarters iu Howe Lyoo'a

About ten o'clock Saturday evening
tbe cry of fire was beard. Soon bells
rang and the whistles blew and every
body started on tbe run to see where the
tire was. It was soon discovered that tbe
old school building was on lire, and a
large crowd, both men and women, was
on the scene. Tbere were two school
buildings standing tbirty-six feet apart
In one yard, one containing six rooms
and tbe other one school room and tbe
laboratory, and tbe latter was tbe one
burning. Tbe fire is supposed to have
started from an overheated stove in tbe
laboratory, tbe gaa which bad been very
weak for several daya coming on witb
considerable pressure during tbe eve
ning. When discovered the flames had
made great headway on the second floor
and very little could be done toward
saving tbe building, which was entirely
destroyed, witb tbe coal shed which stood
nearby. The water was frozen up and
the town pump could not be found and
there waa no way lo fight tbn fire ooly
witb water carried In palls from theoreek
and nearby residences. Tbe main figbt
was put up in saving tbe new building
and if the wind bad not favored them it
could not have been saved with tbe means
at band lo figbt tbe fire. Tbe fire was
kept from tbia building by tbe valiant ef
forts of tbe orowd aud tbe damage waa
confined to a scorching on one side and a
few broken windows. Although tbere
were men enough on the scene to bave
almost spatted out the tire with tbeir
hands, tbey were unable to do anything to
save tbe old building on account of tbe
lack of means to work witb. The win
dows, books, stoves, table, organ and a
few deska were saved from the lower
room, but only a few articles were gotten
out or tbe laboratory. Tbe building was
a substantial two-story frame and tbe
loss is quite a heavy one to tbe school
district, but tbere waa an Insurance of
$1,300 on ibe building and $200 on the
contents. Tbe town pump should be
looked up and seen tbat it is In repair
and some one appointed to store and look
after It, so it will be ready should the oc
casion arise when it shall be needed
again.
