W. C. T. U. Lecture.
The W. C. T. U. of Butler have
been very fortunate in securing the
services of Miss Ileurietta Moore of
Ohio for two of her admirable lec
tures. She will speak in the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, Saturdav
eveuinp, August 4th, on "Constitu
tional Amendment," Sabbath evening
unless dififereut announcement is
made, her subject will be, "ljueen
Esther in the Kingdom, Then aud
Now." Butler should greet her with
a crowded house as she is one of the
brightest, most winsome, as well as
most forcible speakers upon the tem
perance platform. In matter and
manner she is said to most nearly
approach Miss Wiliard, of any lady
in the lecture field, which is certain to
be recommendation sufficient to make
all desirous to hear her.
Lost $125,000.
A dispatch from Washington, Pa ,
dated last Friday said thirty-one car
loads of wool only have been shipped
this year from the Chartiers depot.
The average price paid was 25 cents
—about 5 cents a pound less than for
last year's clip. There are about 10,-
000 pounds of wool to a car. This
would make in tha lot referred to
above 310,000 pounds, which, at 5
cents pe.* pound, makes a loss of $15,-
500. When it is known that the
Washington couuty wool clip ag<»re
gates more than 2,500,000
nually, it can be readily seen why
the wool growers are opposed to put
ting wool ou the free list.

A BRILLIANT SUCCESS
Despite the Rain and Mud and
Threatening Weather.
The First Annual Picnic of the
Merchants of Butler will go into his
tory as being a complete success un
der unusual disadvantages. Wed
nesday. August Ist, was thj day fix
ed for it, aud up to midnight of Tues
day the signs were favorable for a
fair day, but the weather, like its
prophets, is unreliable, and at that
time many of the people of Butler
were awakened by the rattle of
thunder and the flash of lightning,
and realized that a rain storm was in
progress, which continued until eight
o'clock next morning.
But the people of Butler had set
tled upon that day for a picaic, and a
picnic ihey were goiug to have. At
8:30 the bands marched to tue P. &
W. depot, and enough people follow
ed them to 611 nine cars; at 10:30
enough people to fill a dozen cars
were there but only three cars were
available and these were packed to
their utmost—even the platforms
and tender being crowded—a rather
dangerous condition; at 11:45 twelve
cars were available and a great crowd
were carried to the grounds; at 1 p
m. eleven cars were at the depot and
yet some were left behind who had to
wait for the 5 o'clock train.
Altogether forty-two car loads of
people left Butler for the park, and
twenty two hundred tickets were
sold at the depot, which, with the
number sold at the stores, will run
the figures into the thousands. Be
sides these so many country people
came that a large portion of the
grounds was occupied by rigs, aud
hundreds came in on the traius from
the North. Altogether about ten
thousand people were present that
afternoon.
For thoae who arrived or started
from home before noon, dinner was the
first consideration, and the yast mul
titude squatted around over the
grounds, and opened their lunch
baskets, and the merchants supplied
and abundance of elegant coffee, tea,
lemonade, and sandwiches, so that
everybody was provided far.
After dinner the crowd gathered
around the steps of the de f >ot to hear
the toasts and the responses, some ol
which were very witty. John M

An Old Wound.
Thomas 11. I>avis, Esq , has found
a contiguity of shade at bis country
seat in Butler county, near Renfrew.
Hearing of the tradition that whip
p »orwi 1!« carry knapsacks in BatW
county, \lr. Davis made ample pro
vision for his family in the s >ap mine
country before trusting them to i r s
tender mercies.—Sunday Dispatch.
The author of the aboye has open
ed an old wound of ours.
It is admitted that in many respects
Butler County shines as a boac >n
light, even unto the brilliancy of a
Pittsburg alderman's nose, for the
country. This Thaekary of the Dis
patch, himself admits that we are not
ed for our soap mines.aad, were we at
all vindictive, we might make the
observation that a soap mine or two
located in the heart of Pittsburg,
would be to the visible advantage of
her citizens. We might also point to
the fact that we have been commend
ed as law abiding citizcas, contrast
ing greatly with Pittsburg and her
daily murder, her Sunday carousing,
etc., and we even might call atten
tion to the fact that Pittsburg is the
dirtiest, ugliest, meanest little city in
this country, and. were we so low
minded, we might say that a certain
ball club goes by her name and makes
its home in that city.
We say we niigbt do this, were we
so minded, but we don't.
No, the fatal fact that we as a
county, are deficient in "grub" being
again brought up, harrows our feel
ings, as a county, so that we, again
as a county, are speechless.
Our old wound is opened.
Years ago there came a body of
tourists, Pittsburg tourists, to one of
the best of our hotels, taverns they
were then, and demanded a good
meal. They said they had travelled
all through the East aud were disap
pointed everywhere in the provisions.
They went to Delmonico, the great
metropolitan restaurateur and his
best dinuer nauseated them. He
frankly told them that if he couldn't
suit them, there was only place in
iu the World that could and that was
Butler County.
They came immediately.
Ah, me.
We were the worst of all. Why,
there was positively nothing fit to eat
here. Think of it, not a slice of
schweitzer cheese in the town. Lim
burger ? We hadn't heard of it!
Actually expected them to eat oys
ters ! Ugh, wishey, washey, half
raw oysters.
Not a pretzel in the county !!!
They left for their city, their city
with its pretzells, beer and Limbur
ger, and wo as a county were dis
graced.
Time, as is his stubborn habit,
passed aud a day came when a party
of Chinamen arrived at the couuty
seat of this famishing expanse of land.
Confusion attend us.
There was enough to eat in the
county but no one who could cook
"No cookee Catty soup? N ottee
loasteo doggee, nlice young doggie."
And now comes the third attack.
The braiuy Dispatch man insists that
people, Pittsburgers, must bring their
provisions with them when they
come here, and in his beautiful meta
phor, or is it an allegory, says that
the poor whippoorwills are obliged
to carry knapsacks in Butler County.
We are again crushed and but
no, we shall not bewail our lot; even
that should not haye been written.
But let it stand. Let us do better.
Let us begin a new era in victuals to
keep pace with our industrial boom
L".t us begin it, as the old man be
gan his second centnry, "A durned
sight stronger than be did bis first."
Nearly Done.
Two weeks ago I told you I had
40 buggies, 3u carts, 30 set harness,

Mr. John Terter vs Fishels.
Mr. John Toner, of Pitt.sl.urg, was
iu Buiier Saturday, ii:_r our
Fishels a game of h>se ball He hi i
eight other men with him to till the
bases uud fiel liug positions in ih- ry ,
but in reality to look ou aud siui!t».
Mr. Tenor is one of the hest, if not
the very best formed mm, phr- .■.i ' v ,
that we ever saw. He is ab>u'_ sev.-:i
in heighth and perfectly proportioned
He plays ball, thousia most uf all. It
is said the Chicago's have a standing
offer of a very large sum to Mr Teoer
to pitch for them, and by tiie way he
struck out our b lys, and slugged the
ball himself, it might be remarked
that he would be worth every cent of
it.
The philosophical reflection was
made afier the iramo here that there
are no flies ou Mr John Tenor.
As to the'game it was interesting
by reason of its closeness. Whenever 1
a Fisbt>l player escaped a strik out
he usually made a score as the field
ers and basemen of the Aces played
as poor a game their pitcher did a
good one. The Fishels played a
magnificent fielding game as only
three errors in twelve innings show.
Thev would have woa theg:;me but for
that stumbling block, big .John Tener. j

The Fishels, of Butler, started on

heard from have been successful.
At Meadville, they beat the club
there by a score of 11 to 5, and at
Erie Wednesday, the club there by a
score of 9to 3. They are playing at
