The last of the 3 per cent, bonds of
the Government have been called for
redemption by the Secretary of the
Treasury. They amount to near
twenty millions dollars, the principal
and interest of which are due July Ist
next. These are the only bonds of
the Government subject to payment
at par at the will of the Government.
The next bonds, per cent, do not
come due until 1891 and then none
after that until 1907. This state of
affairs, as to the said bonds, it in
feared may raise a perplexing ques •
tion in the financial affairs of the
Government, in which the surplus

all will enter.

Arthur Love.
In all ages, countries, counties and
towns, it was and is a matter of pride
and boast to be the birth place of
genius or greatness. History is full
of such claims to such honors. But
ler county can boast of many eons
who haye risen to distinction in soma
way. Mr. Arthcr Love, born in
Clinton twp, this county, is our la
test boast. As a comedian he has
now a reputation wide as the United
States. We remember well his first
effort at his home here in the
concert line. We printed the first
bills for him and helped to "boost"
and speed him on his way. ilis fame
spread rapidly, and he has relumed
here several times to visit aad amuse
his old neighbors and friends. Ilis la
test visit was on Monday evening iant,
in which he and his compuny, in the
Opera House, delighted our citizens
with the comedy of the "Hoosw-r
Doctor," written by himself. It is a
comedy in every sense and is Arthur
Love all through aud through It
can only be appreciated by being
seen and beard. From an actor and
musician be has thus become an au
thor, and that of the great comedy, the
"Hoosier Doctor."
His greeting here was large and
enthusiastic, as well as those at Ren
frew, Evans City and other parts of
fcia old count/ home.

• Anniversary Surprise.
Tuesday, May 17, 1887, was a
memorable day in the history of Mr.
and Mrs. J. J. Shanor, of Muddy
creek, twp. It was the seyenty-fifth
anniversary of hw birth; and for
weeks before the idea of suitably cele
brating it had been entertained by his
friends. So skillfully were the plans
laid, and so adroitly the preparations
concealed, that not a suspicion was
caused in the minds of the aged cou
ple until their friends—and their
name is legion—began to come from
all points of the compass, with well
filied baskets and smiling counte
nances. The surprise was complete,
and as family after family arrived
with their congratulations, the feeling
of joy and gladness that thrilled the
breast of "Uncle Jonathan" could not
be expressed, biifc could easily be read
from bis happy face. The early por
tion of the day was spent in greeting
friends, renewing acquaintanceships,
showering congratulations upon Mr.
and Mrs. Shanor, and in other social
pleasures.
A raid was then made upon a well
laden table which groaned under the
weight of "good things" and which
perfectly satisfied the wants of all.
After dinner, a final meeting was or
ganized by the election of Judge Gar
vey, Pres , and W. B. Dcdds, Sec'y.
Addresses were made by Rev. Durst,
and Prof. P. A. Shanor, in which Mr
Shanor was congratulated for haviDg
so successfully withstood the storms
of so many winters; his present ex
cellent health and strength; his happy
family relations; and the bright
hopes of the future glorious rewards
of his life of faith- Mr. Conrad
Beighley responded in behalf of Mr
and Mrs. Shanor. The meeting thou
adjourned, and the 150 guests return
ed home better prepared by their
holiday to assume again the calls of
life, and left Mr. and Mrs. Shanor
happy because of the manifestation of
friendship and good will given them
by this hnppy occasion.

HUNTINGDON LICENSES BE- :
FORE THE SUPREME
COURT.
The Power of the Associate
Judges the Legal point
Involved.
PHILADELPHIA, PA., May 23.—A
deputation of Huntingdon lawyers is
here, called to argue a series of ap
peals from the decisions of Hunting
don County Court refusing licenses
to hotel keepers. The cases are ex
pected to come up to-morrow. The
delegation consists of Messrs. P. M,
Lytie, 11. Bruce Petriken, and W. M
McNeil, attorneys for the appellants
in the case, and Messrs. W. Mc-
Knight, Williamson and Samuel J.
Brown for appellees. The cases are
extraordinary in that the refusal to
grant licenses is the act of the two
Associate Judges against the protest
of the Presiding Judge.
Old lawyers assert that to their
knowledge no similar case has ever
occurred in Pennsylvania where As
sociate Judges have tbus interfered
with the President Judge in a matter
involving questions of law. 1 here is
not a hotel in the town of Hunting
don that caa lawfully sell liquor and
the 6,000 inhabitants are obliged to
go without it. It is to accomplish
the double purpose of relieving their
thirst and of testing the power of As
sociate Judges in such cases that
Messrs. Lytle, Petriken and McNeil
will appear before the Supreme Court
to-morrow.
THE APPEAL.
The appeals are those of Henry
Leister and Jamea C. Swoope, hotel
keepers at .Huntingdon, and E. F.
Gould and j a nes O'Neill, hotel-keep
ers at Broad Top City. Their appli
cations for license were argued before
the County Court at Huntingdon on
April 11, but were not acted upon
until three davs later. The Associate
Judges, Charles R. McCarthy and
Tobias Forman, overruled President
Judge A. 0. Furst in absolutely re
fusing the licenses. Judge Furst filed
a dissenting opinion in each case.
There was no opposition to the
licenses of Gould and O'Neill in
Broad Top City, but in Huntingdon
the temperance people, under the lead
of the Women's Chistian Temperance
Union, circulated vigorous remon
strances against licensing all hotels in
Huntingdon, particularly against
Leister and S'.voope, proprietors of
the Leister llou3e and the Hotel
Brunswick respectively. It was al
leged in the remonstrances that li
censes were unnecessary. The re
monstrances were circulated widely
through the town and are said to have
been signed by over a thousand per
sons, mostly women and grown chil
dren. When the cases were heard
the court-room was packed with la
dies, who mustered their strength
under the banner of tha W.C-T.U-
DECREE OF TIIE JUDGES.
In refusing to grant the applica
tions for .licenses the Associate
Judges rendered a decreo similar to
this in each case:
"We find that a hotel is necessary
at that point for the purpose ofaccoin
modating the travelling community
and the entertainment of strangers
The applicant has complied with the
law in relation to licenses, etc
While such is the case we, the Asso
ciate Judges, do not thiuk that it is
necessary to 1 icon3o a hotel to sell in
toxicating liquors, and for this reason
this application is refused.
C. 11 MCCARTHY,
TOBIAS FORMAN.
Associate Judges."
Judge Furst tiled a dissenting
opinion like this:—
"Under tbe law and the (acts this
license should be granted. I there
fore dissent from the decree made by
the Associates.

Mr. S. K. McKee, one of the
State Secretaries of the Young
Men's Christian Association
of Pennsylvania, is in Butler at
present in the interest of the Butler
Association Jls met with the
board of directora of the As
80ciation here on Monday evening
last, at their rooms in the Ileiber
building, when plans were discussed
and adopted for furthering the inter
ests of the work here. The Associa
tion here, although not yet a year old
comprises near two hundred num
bers in all. They have rented and
put in suitable shape rooms for their
meetings and the reception of visitors.
The required money to do this was
mainly contributed at the time by
the members and some of our citizens.
Bat the Association has still much
work to do and is in need of more
funds to properly do it. All citizens
who have not contributed should feel
it a duty to do so. The yalue of the
work these Associations have in view
cannot be overestimated. Hardly a
town in the Stute but now has one
organized. But their great want is
financial aid. TLo State Secretary,
Mr. McKee, will, before he leaves,
call upon our citizens to lend a fur
ther helping haud in this Christian
work. Let all help some to putting
the Y.M C.A here oa a permanent
footing.

Wanted the Whole Liver.
Humane Agent O'Brien this morn
ing received a telegram from Fayetto
City. It read:
'-For God's sake send the meat in
spector up here right away."
Wondering what lud happened to
the meat eating population of Fayette
City, Mr O'Brien took the telegram
to Meat Inspector Lindsay. On his
return to his office the agent encoun
tered a hoy with a special delivery
letter. The odor that arose from it
brought the tears to the eyes of
O'Brien, aud he was compelled to
support himself by clinging to a ta
ble while he tore open the envelop
with his teeth. Inside lie found a
piece of liver about half as large as
his hand It was about 140° under
the atmosphere and sinelled like a
remnant of a butcher's last year's
crop. O'Brien turned the hoce on the
meat for 15 minutes, and then tele
phoned the board of health to remove
it. Tho letter, also enclosed in the
envelop, reads:
"This is a specimen of the meat
sold in this towu. Is it good or
bad."
The agent, after recovering, sent
the following telegram to Fayette
City:
"Can't judge from the sample
Send a whole liver."
Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon no
answer had been received —Pitts

Six Months School Term,
The Legislature did well when it
passed the act compelling school dis
tricts to keep the schools open at
least six months in the year. There
are but a fe w counties that do not
have even longer terms, and those
that do not have ought to be com
pelled to keep them open. There are
some cases in which this may be a
hardship, but nearly all laws work
hardship in some way or other and
that (act is no reason why the general
public should be made to suffer for
the want of a jast and proper require
ment. The addition of a half million
of (Jollars to the school fund will add
just one-Laif to tho allotment which
the districts are now reeeieinjj. This
will partly compensate them for the
additional expense. Thi9 Legisla
ture is entitled to great credit for the
way in which it has treated the
schools.— Ex.
The Marriage Law as Amended
The act entitled "An act relating
to marriage licenses, providing lor
officers indicated to issue licenses for
parties to marry,'' was amended by
the last Legislature to read as fol
lows:
The clerk of the court shall inquire
A the parties applying, either separ
ately or together, for marriage license
as aforesaid, on oath or affirmation
relative to the legality of the contem
plated marriage; and if there be no
legal objection thereto, then he shall
grant such marriage license; or the |
parties intending marriage may either
separately or together appear before
any magistrate, alderman or justice
of the peace ot the township, ward or
county whereiu either of the contract
ing parties reside, and in the county
where the license is desired, who
may, and is hereby authorized to in
quire of them, touching the legality ;
of their contemplated marriage; and i
such inquiries and the answers there- i
to having been subscribed and sworn |
to by the parties before such officer,!
may be forwarded to the clerk of the
count, who, it satisfied, after an ex
amination thereof, that the same is
genuine and that no legal objections
to the contemplated marriage exists,
shall grant a license therefor.
And if any of the persons intending
to marry by virtue of such license
shall be under twenty-one years of
age, the consent of their parents or
guardians shall be personally given
before said clerk, or certified under
the hand of such parent or guardian,
attested by two adult witnesses; and
the signature of such parent or guar
dian shall be properly acknowledged
before a notary public or other officer
j competent under the law to receive
acknowledgements, which said certifi
cate and oath shall be filed of record
in said office, and entry of the same
shall be made by the said clerk on the
marriage-license docket as a part of
| the records of the issuing of said li
cense. and for which he shall receive
: as his fees the sum of fifty cents, in
addition to the marriage license fee,
and the said magistrate, alderman or
justice of the peace, for services ren
dered by him under the provisions of
this act, shall be entitled to the sum
of fifty cents.
The clerk of the court shall furnish
magistrates, aldermen and justices of
I the peace, at the cost of the proper
county, all necessary blanks for ac
knowledgments and affidavit, herein

of the peace, shall willfully make auy
false returns to the clerk of court, he
shall forfeit and pay any sum not ex
ceeding ono thousand dollars, to and
for the use of the party aggrieved;
Provided, That uothiog in this act
shall be so construed as to prevent
either party from making application
for such license, by or through any
next friend or relative, which next
friend or relative may uiaku tho re
quired proof on behalf of the person
represented by him or her,
A Very Neat Swindle
From Pittsburg Times of Wednesday.]
Several farmers living along the
Butler plauk road between Allegheny
City and the (rlade Mills bavo been
neatly victimized during the past
week, by a set of swiudiers, to the ex
tent of at least $l5O. William Mc-
Donald, one of the victims, was seen
in Allegheny last night, snd the
swindlers operated in this way: A
barouche containing four well dress
ed men stopped at Plankerton's hotel
on the Perrysville road last Wednes
day and one of the men announced
thq.t the party \yas prospecting for oil
territory iu that neighborhood and
that they would likely call and exam
ine the iarni3 of residents along the
Butler road.
The next day tho alleged prospec
tive toijr eotprnencetj, 'be first
person called on was John Shafer.
His land was examined by an alleged
expert who accompanied the party
and pronounced it excellent oil terri
tory. The territory was then leased
and the lease made out and the far.
mor given a check for SSO as a bonus.
The prospectors stopped a Shafer's
house all night and in payment of
their lodging and stabling of the
team presented a check on a Butler
bank for *3O, purporting to be signed
by Mr. Stoughton, of that town. The
bill amounted to $4 50 and the farm
er gave them sls 50 in change.
Several other grangers were visit
ed and the same racket worked suc
cessfully in I:, ost cases. Some of tho
farmers became suspicious, and while
they ioascd their lauds refused to bo
taken in by the chunge scheme. One
of the latter communicated his sua
pibious to Shafer on Friday last and
he went to Butler on Saturday aud
found the check given him wa3 bo
gus.
This exposure spread like wiMfxre
and the four men were eagerly sought
for all over the couutry. but they had
disappeared.

Down in San Antonio, Texas,

Two clipper ships, the Seminole

The New Tax Bill.
The new tax bill has two principal
aims—viz: To equalize taxation and
to increase revenue. Our tax law«
had becomeama<sof sorry patch-work,
amended from time to time as some
especial interest or necessity demand
ed, and they finally became a confus
ed medley of contradictions and prac
tically unintelligible. They invited
litigation and hindered enterprise by
the uncertainty of laws directly affect
ing the industrial energies of the
State. Even the Courts became in
volved in a tangle of conflicting de
cisions; and it was not until Rufus
E. Shapley, of this city, representing
the Auditor General, presented an
exhaustive compilation of the jarring
tax laws and decisions iu a recent im
portant tax case, that the imperative
necessity for a thorough revision of
our entire tax system was fully ap
preciated by those charged with the
administration of our revenue laws
The new law is chiefly the work of
Mr. Shapley, aided by Auditor Gen
eral Norris, and it is regarded as
largely increasing the revenue rather
by the equalization of '..axes than by
an increase of taxation.
The new law does not impose a
tax upon manufacturing companies,
corporate or limited, actually employ
ed in manufacturing within the StaU-.
The bill as originally passed by the
restored the old tax on manu
facturing companies, but the Senate
struck it out and the conference com
mittee accepted the Senate amend
ment with the limitation applying to
the exemption capital stock actual
ly employed in the Commonwealth.
The feature of the new bill that
will be most generally felt is that ex
empting household lurniture, carri
ages, watches, plate, etc. The gen
eral system of taxation is simplified
and presumably on a reasonably
equitable basis, whereby a large in
crease of revenue will be secured
without increasing the general tax
rate. In addition to the many ob
stacles which stood in the way of the
execution of the old revenue laws,
there was an absolute necessity for
increased revenue to enable the State
to continue the reduction of the pub
lic debt. In other words, had not a
new tax law been enacted, Governor
Beaver's administration would fall
several millions behind Governor Pat
tison's in the reduction of the State
debt, and political necessity, as well
as public policy, forbid such a step
backwards. With the new bill to
augtueut revenue, the increased ap
propriations necessary in a State of
marvellous progress will be met with
the regular or increased reduction of
the public debt, aud the present State
administration should leave the Com
monwealth practically free from what
was once a crushing load upon the
business aud thrift of Pennsylvania.
The success of the new revenue
measure is not due to the individual
exertions of any one man in or out of
the Legislature, but Senator Macfar
iane is entitled to special commenda
tion for the courageous, earnest and
practical eflorts he made to save the
bill when it was menaced and its suc
cess greatly imperiled by powerful
antagonisms It is safe to say that
without his tireless and well directed
battle for toe bill, it would have fallen
in the contest. In its equalization of
taxes It unfavorably affected personal
interests of the Senator, but he ac
cepted his public duty as paramount,
and gave faithful devotion to the in
terests of the State.—Philadelphia

SOMERSET, FA. May 23. —The liquor
men of this county were never before
so completely knocked out as when
Judge Baer read from the bench that
all the applications for licenses were
refused by his associates, Judges
Shaver and Walker Somerset is a
decidedly temperance county, and
the fight against license last year re
sulted in shutting up every licensed
bar in thecouuty seat. Still a good
many licenses were granted at other
points in the county. This year
however, the new Associate .Judges
sat flatly dow u.metaphorically speak
ing, upon the whole business, and not
a license in the entire county was
granted. The disappointment of
some of the liquor uen is great, and
all day the air was blue with
"cusses," while the temperance peo
ple are very jubilant over their suc
cess. A union praise meeting was
held in the Luthtreu Church last
night, where enthusiastic speeches
were make by both men and wo
