prevent the gas being turned ou suddenly,
they had plugged the pipe with wood.

A Bird Story.
Mr. Edward Duff rd, a young man of Cen
tre twp. had a remarkable adventure last
Saturday morning. He was coming to town,
at the time, walking along the tracf of tho
S. &A. U. R. and as he neared the cut on
the Dully pl.ice, he noticed an immense bird
setting on the cross-piece of a telegraph pole.
When he pavsed the bird it took uo note Jf
him but before he reach ,"i the next telegr iph
pole, it Hew at hun furiously. Its wings
spread clear across the track, measuring at
least teu feet from tip to tip, its heat was
bald, throat and breast while, feet as large as
a man's two hauds acd its hooked bill at
least six inches long. El. dodged behind
the telegraph pole, and the Ki^le—for such
it seemed to be —struck the pole heavilv
and was partially stunned. Seeing this, El.
ran to the next pole, and got behind it just
in time to again escape the bird,and theu ran
for the next pole. This was kept up for some
time,when the eagle got tired of (lying again
tel egraph poles, and flew over into Mtllin
ge r's meadow, ' It was last see in Dnfforrl's
w nods, aDd if yet in that vicinity should be
c aptured, if possible.

furnace. The home is a refuge for

Opening of the Base Ball Season
The base hall season is now fairly
open The Association clubs began
their championship frames on Wed
nesday a week aero, and the League
on the following Friday. In the lat
ter, the Boston and Pittsburg clubs
are doing the best and Detroit 3iid
Philadelphia the worst, but of course,
the first month doesn't make the
champion any more than a swallow
makes a summer
Public opinion places Detroit as
the probable winner of the pennant
with Philadelphia second, anil Chica
go, Boston and New York bunched
lor third. Before the opening frames
Pittsburg was placed at fifth or sixth
but her admirable team work, battery
and base running sLown in defeating
the champion Detroits three straight
games has brought her prominently
before the public as a dangerous look
ing "dark horse." In the Associa
tion the race will be a hot one be
tween St. Louis, Brooklyn and Cin
cinnati. Each is winning and has
its admirers.
In the matter of base ball, it must
be remembered that it is not only the
professional clubs that are engaged
in the game, but all over the country
amateurs exercise and increase their
muscles on the diamond. Aud it
must be conceded that they might
be much worse employed. These
open air exercise develops manly
strength and they are not at all in
compatible with the pursuance of
school duties. They are decidedly
better than loafing about bar rooms,
or wasting time over sentimental
novels or becoming yapid dudes in
"societv." As a matter ot course
there ought to be a certain modera
tion iu the gratification of the passion
tor physical sports, and it would be
folly to give all one's time and
thought in this direction, bat within
the bounds, athletic recreation ought
to be encouraged. The vigorous
body is essential to the sound mind,
as the Greeks mantained in their best
days, and these sturdy lads who are
exercising in the field will make bet
ter citizens for developing a robust
physical manhood. It is admitted
that our girls are more sensible iu
the matter of dress, diet and exercise
than the women of an earlier period
of the republic and a visible improve
ment in physique has resulted. It
won't do for the young men to be
come enervated when the other sex
is making sunh advances. ISo we
say, let the manly sports in a tem
perate fashion receive encouragement
tor their sanita.-y uses.
Gifts of Poison.
It. it', time that, respecfabie mer
chants combined with •lonsuinwrs for
the suppression ot'all gilt, prize and
lottery schemes in conuectiou with ihe
sale of articles of merchandise. These
schemes ire not only demoralizing' to
legitimate bu«iuess and to the morals
of the community, but in the extent
in which they are being carried in the
sale of articles of food Lave become a
source of tjreat danger u> the public
health. They are, no matter in what
lorui they appear, nothing more or
iess than devices to swindle hooest
and unsuspecting people.
It is gratifying to learn that in
some instances the officers of the law
have taken hold of ih ; matter. In
>'ew York, and also iu Chicago, par
ties who iu th's way offered gifts to
purchasers of their packages re
cently been arrestcni upou indictOiK.its
tor lottery swindling. The latest
candidates, both for public execration
and criminal prosecution, are the
manufacturers of the alum bakiug
powders, who arc both, by means of
tfifts and lottery tickets, disposing of
large quantities of their corrosively
poisonous compounds, which are so
well known to be detrimental to
health that no housekeeper will ad
mit them to her kitchen knowingly.
This form of swindle is not only be
ing peddled from house to house, but
under the promise of large profits to
be realized, the manufacturers are en
trenching themselves behind the coun
ters of many grocers by getting them
to offer the alum goods with the gifts
or lottery tickets attached, thereby
shifting the liability to prosecution,
in part, upon other, and perhaps in
nocent, parties. Every grocer or deal
er, for instance, who sells or offers
tor sale any of the prize or lottery
baking powders is a criminal in the
eye of the law, and liable, upon con
viction, to line and imprisonment,
while those who sell the gift goods
are, morally, as responsible, for they
are offering an inducement, or prize,
to housekeepers to use a food that
contains a corrosive poison. This i 3
a predicament iu which it is not pos
sible our grocers will care to place
themselves when they come to think
seriously of the matter.
It must be borne in mind that every
one of these gift or prize baking pow
ders are alum bakiug powders. Tnese
powders cost less than four cents a
pound to produce; the gifc or prize
costs but a few cents more. They are
sold at the price ofa first-class biking
powders, so that the swindle, iu a
commercial sense, is enormous. But
the chief iniquity of the business con
sists in selling, as presumably whole
sale, an article ot a positively injuri
ous character, aud by meaus of gifts
or bribes inducing servants or unsus
pecting housekeepers to purchase
and use it in our daily food.
There should be some prompt
method of reaching these dangerous
practices and puuishing the parties
engaged iu their promotion. If the
present laws are not ample, we com

The Concert.
The first concert of the Butler
Choral Uuion was greeted with a
large and tashionable audience last
Tuesday evening at the Opera Hou*e.
Ttiose who came iu tbe indulgent
frame of uiind with which people us
ually attend home inusicales found
that there would he uo need oi allow
ing any personal feelings for the per
formers to excuse the performances,
when the beauties of Rossini's Tau
crede were perfectly brought out by
tbe orchestra in the overture. The
care.ul training of Prof. Lamb became
at ouce apparent in the harmony,
spirit and understanding of their play
ing. Miss J. Rieseuman iollowed
with the tirst solo "Waiting" which
gave ber ample opportunity to display
her clear, Hexible voice, and her suc
cess iu the higher passages was par
ticularly enjoyed. Mrs. C. G. Chris
ty sang the lullaby from the popular
opera "Errainie" and was so much
appreciated that she received a hearty
encore. Mrs. J. K. Grieb, assisted
by Prof. Lauib gave in their piano
forte duet, one of the treats of the
evening The selection was "Norma"
aud it was played with a vigor and
power that thrilled the whole audi
ence. If anything was enjoyed the
most during the evening it was Miss
Lina Mueller's solo "Esmeralda." A
voice such as her's is as rare as it is
sweet and if she wishes, it's reputa
tion will not be confined to our towu.
We have rarely listened to singing
that gave us as much pleasure. She
was encored, of course. Miss Loretta
Miller's solo was "A Summer Show
er" in its weicomeness and freshuess.
A hearty encore followed her singing.
Miss E. J. McElvain and Mr. L. G.
Linn sang "Good Night" very well.
Among the bass solos were those of
Mr. John Koch aud Theodore D.
Pape. Mr. Pape's voice is well
known to tbe musical public of But
ler and always favorably. His solo
was "I fear no foe." Mr. Koch's
appearance was perhaps his first in
publiy and the impression he made
was parallel to that of Miss Mueller.
Llis deep, rich, and well controlled
voice was well adapted to "Tbe
Storm Fiend" and took so well that
he was encored, being tbe only gen
tleman who had that honor. E Mack
ey sang "Thy Sentinel am 1" and
was heartily applauded.
Probably tbe most entirely success
ful of the orchestra selections of the
evening wero Meudelssohn's Wed
ding March and Sullivan's delicious
"Graceful Dance." Miss Lowry and
Prugh presided at the piano. The
concert was a grand success aud has
aroused musical Butler to the knowl
edge tuat iu Prof. Lamb we have a
caretul and able musician.
The charming stage decorations
were designed and executed by home
talent.
From another source we have the
following comment:
All communities need recreation 11s
well as labor to show a round of in
dustry to the man out of doors or the
woman in the exercises of her house
hold duties. With Butler's growth
and prosperity have come more op
portunity to its mothers and daugh
ters of evincing their natural love
of music, and in so marked a manner
as to send abroad the information
that came to the ears of R J. Lamb
of the hungry Butler citizens craviug
for instruction in ''Music, that heaven
ly maid," aud so he is now iu Butler
and a very important faqjor in our
midst.
To any one who has seen the first
parade of a militia battallion of re
cruits, aud their altered appearance
after a six week's course of daily drill,
would have this forcibly brought to
mind at the Choral Society Concert
last Tuesday evening, which was a
credit to every one concerned.
The public was inspecting officer
and there was the Choral Battalion
drawn up for examination, which com
menced with one of the great Master
Rossini's Overtures to his world-re
nowned Opera of Tancredi, in which
iu the early parts and up till the pres
ent of this century, all the greatest
Queens of Song, Patti excepted, have ■
been proud to sing. Mr. Lamb knew ,
the merits of this fine overture and
had Kreat faith in the ability of the
Butler Band to risk it. It was play
ed very well and was followed by that
grand chorus Irom Haydu's Oratorio
of the Creation, "The Heavens are
Telling." The members showed by
their attentioi and care how well they
had marked the conductor's precepts.
The other two choruses by the
Choral Union were from Handel's
Messiah and wore sung in very good
style. I may here observe that these
oratorios having been once started,
thanks to Mr. Lamb, will be recog
nized and encouraged by every one
with piety enough to desire the di
vine themes linked to compositions of
a delightful character, making them
a joy forever.
The other subjects were vocal solos.
The Wedding March of Mendelssohn
by the instrumental orchestra, and
"Come Gentle Spring" arranged as a
quintet, sung by ladies Christy, Wick
and Pupe, end Messrs. Pape
and Lamb. This quintet
was markedly well sung, all
the voices were good and well train
ed, those of Mrs. C. Chiisty and Miss
Wick being very sweet.
Mrs. C. Christy got an encore on
her Lullaby from Hrnani. This lady
. has a good faculty iu expressing po
et'cal or tender sentiment, which after
! all is of tho first importance iu the
i view of the educated minds.
Iu conclusion it may be truthfully
I stated that the programme got up by
Mr. Lamb on this occasion is better
than any put forth by any society in
iuy part of Western Pennsylvania
! for the past three years, Pittsburg
1 not excepted, and this writer is eu
j couraged to look forward to Butler
; being quoted as the musical centre of
I this section.

An Advertising Story.
Occasionally tbe dominie comes to
the front with H story. Here is bis
latest: A patent medicine man had
as bis advertising aud advance ajjent
a bright, smart fellow whose original
ity in briuging tbe medicine to notice
was simply iuexbaustible. Tbe med
icine was out: of those atrocities that
everv now and then are flashed on
the public, sell well, make a fortune
for the inventor—and all because of
being well advertised Nothing was
sacred to this particular advertising
agent. One morning the good peo
ple of a small village were horrified
to see painted on tbe cemetery gate
iu big black letters, surrounded by a
deep black border:
"Use Brown's Cure and
Keep Out of Here."
The agent bad fled. He feared tbe
wrath to come. But he bad brought
tbe medicine into notice through peo
ple talking about it. A valuable man,
be. And another dominie tells us
that some years ago an agent prompt
ed by something of the same spirit,
had painted on a part of the gate of a
cemetery:
"If you want to keep out of here,
Use Dr. Bates'tonic beer."
—Tbe price of elephants without

THE LIVLIEST BOOT & SHOE HOUSE IN WESTERN PENN'A.
I proudly claim without fear of contradiction that I sell more Boots and
Shoes than any three stores in Butler combined, and I havo no reason at all
to notice the barking and sniffling of these old-timers who must hare their
25 per cent, profit or no sale. This is a thing of the past. What the pub
lic wants now is a sharp, close, cash buyer that will bring his goods home
and sell them quick on a small margin and give them a good grade of boots
and shoes.
