THE DEATH OF THE TUB.
Hearken to my tale all ye skeptics,
and give ear all ye unbelievers, that
ye may receive tidings of great joy.
A hundred years ago tbe railroad
had not been thought of, fifty years
atfo the telegraph was laughed at,
twenty-nve years ago there were hut
few sewing machiues in existence,
and GO V we c roe to you with the
best news yet received by this gener
ation—that, ijf a successful washing
machine. Don't smile, djn't look
wise, don't lau^h —we miau what
we s y —a washing machine that is a
success—cheap, stroDg, durable, sim
ple —a machine that reduces the
manual work to the minimum, one
that tseiiher wea-s nor tears the
clothes, one that d es away with
tubs and boards, one ihat sives sjap
and water, one that annihilates the
danger of wasting infected clothing,
one that washes a collar as well as a
sheet, one that does away with slops
and steaming one so simple . and
easy that a child can work it, and
above all, one that is a thorough
cleanser, i. e. makes all the clothes as
clean and white as you could wish
them.
There have been washing machines ,
and washing machines. The first
that we can find any reco.'d of is the
"Dolly-Tab," of Yorkshire, which
was invented a hundred years
aud was simply a ruund piece of
wood with three or five pins or leg*,
like a foot stool, a handle and cross
piece. This was pressed iu among
the clothes and worked around, and
could be used in any tub or JJX
Almost all ot the washing machines «
siuce invented have been modifica
tions of the Dolly-Tub, Another de-1
vice was one with spring ribbed
boards between which tbe clothes
were rubbed with a swinging motion.
Another was one with oscillating
boxes which jerked tbe clothes aud
water from side to side, another w?s
the dash-wbeel, similar to that used
iu bleaching works, which bad a j
reversible action, lifting tbe clothes
out of tbe water and letting tbem fall i
back again, bat tbe greatest discov
ery of all was tbat made by a French :
chemist named Cbaptal, that clothes
could be washed by steam. It is
tbat discovery applied to small ma
chines for domestic use tbat makes a
success of tbe ALLKN WASHBB
The clothes and dis--olved soap are
placed immediately into boiling wa
ter, the lid closed to prevent tbe
escape of steam, and a few minute*
working of tbe handle, which is at
tached to a simple lever, thoroughly
cleanses them. We say it does and
we know it does for we have given
the machine a thorough terft. Th-j
machine has but one fault—it make*
the washing so easy that the women
bale to do the irouiug—tbuy want a
machine to do that, alno
By tbe old method of washing, the
clothes were put through a first aud
Hecoud suds, then boiled, theu wash
ed out of tbe boil, then put through
two rinsiug waters, with ofien a pre
liminary soaking over night, the op
eration for a large family'* washing
taking one person's time for a whole
day. By this method and with this
machine, a larger waabing can be
done and done thoroughly and com
pletely in two hours at most. Tbe
clothes are put through one boiling
water with soap, and one boiling wa
ter without soap and then rinsed,and,
they come out clean and pure, cleaner
than you can make them by
tbe old method. The manual
labor, outside of chang
ing the water, can be done by a child
of nine years The small pieces, the
collars, cuffs, handkercLiefs, etc. come
out as clean as tbe large one*, and a
heavy bed quilt is as easily washed
as a sheet or towel.
If this is not a complete revolution
in washing we cannot imagine wbat
could be No standing and toiling
at the wash tub all day, no backaches
and sore knuckles, no inhaling un
healthy steam, no olds and sore
throats from sudden changes of tem
perature, no discontented husbands
waiting for a wa*h day dinner, no ir
ritable, out wives and fretful, un
attended babies—pre*t«., change
comfort, happiness,peace, ease,health,
luxury, beauty, serenity, everything,
and wash-day looked fjrward to as a
holiday.
'•Rub-a-dub,dub,theßongof the Tub"
will never be heard again in tbo fam
ily which once uses an ALLEN
WASHER
This simple yet perfect machine
was invented by Mr. Eraatue W. Al
len of Beueca, Kansas, and was pat
ented Feb 2, 1886,
Mr. William Shira, the late pro
thonotary of this connty, heard of it
through some western friends.
Like the rest of us he was very
skeptical regarding so-called washing
macbiaes, bat an inspection of this
one and its work discovered puch un
expected and unusual merit that,after
careful consideration, he decided to
invest a large sum in the right to
manufacture and sell it in this State,
bis right including all of Pennsyl
vania, excepting a few northwestern
counties. The is no doubt as to the
merits of the machine, if such a sim
ple contrivance can bo called by that
name. Tbe firm of Shira, Shira, &
Hays, which includes Mr. Wiliijtiri
Shira, bin son Lou, and Mr. James
H-tys, has been manufacturing them
in Butler for some mouths and has
been Hellinif all it could and
has sold some territory at good fig
ures, but the members of the firm
propose holding on to the best terri
tory, and manufacturing them on a
large scale. There is a fortune in
Allegheny and I'uiladelphia counties
alone for them, aud their success is
assured.
The people of Butler should take
ao especial interest in ibis washer for
besides its intrinsic value it means a
now aud industry for the town
The tub is dead—long live the
ALLBM Was HEII.
—\rgHn4, a prior Hwiss, itiventel a lamp

Terrible Accident at the Plate'
Glass Works.
The worst nc-ident that has as yet
happened at the i'late Glass works
occurred Wednesday night shortly :
after the men who go on at midnight j
went to work Three men, one of!
whom is said to have been an Irish
man, use a Frenchman aid one a,
Belgian, were placing sheers of rongh
glass on one of the grinding tables, j
bad filled up one side of it, and while j
jet standing on the table called ont
to tbe engineer to turn it slowly, so
that the other side would come
around to be filled, they intending to
hop around and keep clear of the up
per discs as the table turned But
by some mistake or misunderstand
ing the full power of the steam was
turned ou, tbe table instantly began
travelling rapidly, and two of the
men were caught between tbe large
taole ajd tbe smaller discs and cut
to pieces—one of them had his arm
cut off at the shoulder aud bis bow
els cut open aud died almost instant
ly, while the other had both legs cut
off and died within two hours. The
third man, the Irishman was thrown
off tbe table and escaped unhurt.
Hats and Shoe;.
"What size hat do you wear" and
"what size shoe do you wear," are
questions asked a man several times
every year, and aro ones that few
can answer without taking time to
mink
Mr. D. A. Heck says that tbe
smallest size ever called for in men's
hats is G&, and that the average hat
of his customers is a 7.
Mr, John Patterson said that the

Lwks like old-fashioned
Winter to-day—skating and
sleighing. The weather sharps
predict blizzards.
Well, we're ready in our
overcoat department for the
coldest of blizzards.
This is the time of the year
to buy overcoats. The weather
demands them and we must
sell them. Spring stock's
coming, you know.
Of course we have mirked
the prices down. Sometimes
sl, sometimes $2 and some
times $3, $4 or $5. Depend
ed on the value of the arti
cle.
Come around and see what
we have.
We re selling lots of agoods
every day to people who "just
want to look around."
