Washington's Address.
The Court room was crowded
Wednesday afternoon to hear the
reading of Washington's Farewell
Address. Mr Ileineman called tbe
meeting to order, and called upon
Jacob Ziegler, E><q., to read the ad

bly as well as auy person could, but
Washington's address was and is a
very loug one, it is intended for
quiet and cart ul reading, and though
it is one of the grandest thiugs in the
English language, when read hastily
to a large audience, tbe reading of it
is rather a bore to the audience
After the reading the general meet
ing adj >urned,* and the Monument
Committees met iu tbe Arbitration
room, and the soldiers met in the
Court room to consider the Bounty
question, reports of which meetings
will be fouad iu another place.

Impure Food.
Exceeding camion should be exer
cised in tbo purchase of a new article
of food. Many repeat cases of serious
illness have been reported from the
use of tbe new patent foods for in
fants, from untestwi baking powders,
and cheap flavoring extracts. The
desire for rapid wealth induces un
scrupulous manufacturers to place
anything before the public that will
sell at a profit, without regard
to its usefulness or healthfulness. At
present there is a great raid upon the
baking powder mark«t, and 90 many
impure and adulterated articles of
this kind have been found peddled
about the country that the authori
ties in several of the States have taken
the necessary action to expose them
The report of the Ohio State Pood
Commission has shown that a large
number of the brands sold here are
made from alum, or a cheap and
adulterated cream of tartar. The
danger to the public is made still
greater by tbe unblushing effrontery
with which the proprietors of ihese
impure powders advertise them as
perfect, claiming for them all kinds of
false and impossible endorsements.
The official report of tbe Ohio State
Food Commission gives the names
of a number of these impure powders
acd the amount of impurities and in
ert matters in each as follows :
NAME. PER CENT, OF
IMPURITIES, ETC.
Dr. Price's 12 'l6
Sterling 1,2 0.5
Pearson's 14.39
Scioto (alum) 18.25
Forest City (alum) 21 04
Cr;>wn (aluiu) 25.119
Silver Star (alum) 31.58
Da Land'* 32.52
Horsloni's (phosphate) 36.41)
Kenton t'alum) 38 17
Pat.tpnco (alum) 40 OS
One Spoon (alum) 68 t>B
Tbe impurities in the powders
above mentioned were found to con
sist of variou* matters more or less
hurtful. In l)r Price's powder the ]
principal impurities were lime and j
Rochelle salts, which were found in
quantities The impurities it;
Hereford's powder were composed
phosphate ot'Soda, lime, etc., but none |
of the "nutritious phosphates," with
out which its manufacturers claim life
cannot be sustained. The impurities
found iu the other powders named
were principally aium aud lime.
From the report of the Commission
it. is evident that the Royal Baking
Powder is ot the highest degree of
strength ami parity.

The social season that is almost at
au end in New York has put a good
mat.y dollars io the capacious pockets
of the Rev. John Hall. It is said
that Dr. John Hall's income from
marriage fees since last September is
not less than $30,000. One bride
groom gave him a check for $5,000
for tying the nuptial knot. Dr. Hall
is worth $1,000,000; his total income
is at least $100,"000. His congrega
tion is the wealthiest in New York.
The amount of $400,000,000 may be
see in his church any Sunday morn
iug. Dr Hall has a monopoly of oil
the swell weddiugs. Brides who de
sire to be in fashion insist upon being
married by tbe millionaire clergyman
Edward Everett Hale has resurrect
ed a bit of history in the King of
England's account book, iu which he
put dowu what he paid Jacob Cabot
for finding America. It reads after
this manner:
To the damsel that danceth jCI2
To the nmn that found a new island 10
To Jake Haute, lor teunis play 9
To a wcuian with a red nose 2 shillings.
That was the first cost to England for
North Ameiica, less than was paid to
the girl that danced for the King.
A question has arisen iu insurance
circles which, to say the least, is one
of the most novel that has yet come
to notice in underwriting experience
A New Yorker who carried $300,000
insurance on his life voluntarily died
in order that his creditors might reap
the benefit of the policies. The issue
is now on trial, aud that is the gene al
claim by insurance men interested.
If true the cuse suggests oue of tbe
romances of Jules Yerne, bu r . it is
rather hard to accuse a ra ta of con
spiracy under the circumstances.
Yery few men will carry the princi
ple of self-sacrifice so far as to die in
order to benefit their creditors.

A Wonderful Showing.
Tbe Pittsburg Times of last Setur
day presentedjto itreaders a list of tbe
industries projected witbiQ tbe three
put years in the natural pas region
ot Western Penuaj Ivanit, and their
number aad magnitude are truly sur
prising Three vears a?o a revolu
tion begau in the uiuuufactories of
this neighborhood. Natural era* was
the '•ause. Nearly £25,000.000 has
b» n i a vested in uaurul gas property.
Natural j;as has made the country a
net work of pipes bearing the invisi
ble fuel, has built railroads, towns,
and manufactories, and has changed
dull country towns to bustling little
cities. On every baud we see evi
dences of what has taken place witb
iu a few years and where it will stop
no one knows. The capacity of the
Pittsburg manufactories has beeu in
creased from 25 to 100 per cent, and
the increase bis beeu general To
triye anything iike a detailed account
of Pittsburg's new industries is al
most impossible.
Tbe irou and ateel smelting busi
ness which is the leading one of "The
Natural Gas City" has had a wonder
fui boom. They are now abie to turn
out 350.000 tons a year more than
th ; *y were able to iu 18S5 Iu the
other departments of the iron busi
ness the increase has beeu immense—
from 35 to 100 per cent.
A noteworthy feature in tbe indus
tries of Pittsburg was tie casting of
a steel gun a few weeks ago under
Lite immediate supervision of, and iu
accordance with the plans and de
signs made by Win. II iins worth, Su
periuteudent of tbe Pittsburg Steel
Gastiug Company. The gun, whicb
is now in the lathe, will, when com
pleted, weigh 5i tous, and will be
193 53 inches in length. Tbe gun in
made for the Government, which de
mands the following: ultimate
streDgtb, 8,000 pounds per square
inch; elastic limit, 4,000 pjiiuds per
square iucb; elongation 7 per ceut, i:i
two inches: reduction 7 per cent iu 2
inches. Steel made under .Mr Hains
worth's direction meets these require
ments. The gun will, iu ail proba
bility, mark a uew era in the manu
facture of guns of all sizes designed
for naval warfare and fortifications.
The manufacture of Plate Ulas*
has been beoefited most of all and the
increase in three years has beeu sev
en fold. The Plate Glass works here
make twice as much glass as was
made three years ago in all this
neighborhood. The glass made here
by natural gas is in every way the
equal of th 3 finest French Plate.
Pittsburg's increase in population is
another indication of her boom.
The surrouuding counties seem to
be iryiug to outstrip each other in
new establish meats, aud iu addition
to the old ones. To enumerate all
the new concerns etarted, and the im
provements made during three years
in this neighborhood would require
all the reading *paee of the CITIZEN
The improvement has been wonderful
everywhere. Leechburg, Armstrong
county, claims to have first used nat
ural gas for manufacturing. Its boom
certainly not decreased any, for
$550,000 has been lately invested in
three works there—the Leechburg
Foundry, the Lauffman & Go Steel
Works, and the Electro Plating
Works, at Apollo which together will
employ 800 men. Freeport has not
boomed much aud Kiitanning not at
uii. Natural gas uas done wonders
for Beaver county us $1,100,000 has
been invested iu about 25 concerns
which give empioymeut to over 2000
men. The steel works of 11. W.
Hartman is the principal one. It has
a of $400,000 and employs
1000 men
Cambria county has bjen very
lucky. Tbe Johustown Steel Riil
Company was established there two
years ago It employs 2000 men aud
has a cupital ot $1,000,000.
Clarion county has hid a general
improvement and negotiations are
now pending between the cit'zeus of
East Brady and a uianufactur
inir establishment,which are expected
to terminate satisfactorily. Fayette
county has been boomed by natural
gas. Several large concerns, includ
ing two of $500,000 each, have been
established there. The Lawrence
county boom has been chiefly at, New
Castle.lnvestmonts aggregating nearly
a million dollars indicate the coming
city's energy. Mercer county shows
a steady increase. The water works
at Sharon, the woolen mills at Green
ville and the college building at Grove
City now being erected are the coun
ty's record. In Venango county, Oil
City is putting on eity airs and is
having a steady increase. The chief
addition is the Tube Works with a
capital of $200,000. Many smaller
concerns help the boom Oxide works
at Franklin are contemplated. The
capital stock is put at §500,000. It
is doubtful if the natural gas boom
has helped any town more than But
ler. With her doubled population,
her half a million plant for manufac
turing Plate Glass, with her bottle
glass works,her planing mills, pottery
works, her oil, coal aud lime, she bids
fair to become the banner boom town.

A Million Iron Smash.
PITTSBURG. Feb. 20, 1888 One
of the largest firms of iron manufac
turers iu this city failed today for
from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000
They made aa assignment this after
noon. Some three years ago they
failed for $1,200,000, but got au exten
sion. and their business has been so
good that they have been able to clear
off SBOO,OOO of the debt, which is se
cured by a blanket mortgage to a
New York life iusurance company.
The present failure is caused bv a
foolish desire to build uew works,
which took all the profits of the firm.
The failure is a bad one. Tbe secur
ed liabilities are about $600,000 to
$700,000. The assets are supposed
to amount to SBOO,OOO, but really to
a less sum, as much valuable proper
ty has been sold to pay off the old
debt. A mortgage for SIOO,OOO fig
ures among the liabilities. It was
made since the first failure. The firm
is that of Graff, Beunett & Company.

Your Qsnerous Trads
Shows You Like It.
The stores aren't alike!
stores of a kind aren't alike!
every clothing store isn't a
store that sells nothing but
reliable clothing!
Reliable clothing/ why
that's the only kind you want
to buy ! Nobody 4 would ac
i knowledge selling any other!
But there's a bigger profit in
what isn't.
There's a way to make ev
erybody sure it's reliable ! It's
no hardship to do it if it is! Tell
the quality plainly ! Give a
guarantee with it. Take it
b.ick if the buyer gets home
ind is dissatisfied with it! That's
jur way of saying to you —
I his is reliable !
It's better than a ream of
newspaper words to make the
costomer secure J Undersell us
in prices who can ! We'll be
under there, and head of our
business on every other point.
Nearly 1,000 styles of goods
for selection.
