Sunday's Storm.
Tbe storm of last Sunday evening,
though it was of short duration and
not very heavy in and near Butler,did
considerable damage in other parts of
the county. It seems to have been
the heaviest in the section between
Sunbury and Fairview, and Middle
town and North Washington, where
it blew down fences, ruined many
valuable fruit trees, and unroofed
some barns. The barn of Munroe
Donaldson ia Concord township was
partly unroofed. The wagon shed of
Mr G. W. Meals in Washington
township, was blown down and his
barn was partly unroofed. Mr.
Isaac Meals lost three valuable trees.
A large oak tree in the Lutheran and
Presbyterian cemetery in North
Washington was blown down. Near
Harmony the lightning was very SJ
vere and many trees were destroyed
by it In many places the corn and
oats fields were leveled. We have
beard of no fatalities in the county
attending the storm and hope there
were none.

Last of the Season.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
ten-day excursions to the Jersey coast have
been enjoyed by hundreds of people this
summer. The liberal limit of the tickets,the
wide rauge of popular resorts from which a
choice could be made, and the exceptional
facilities tor reaching the shore have left
nothing to be desired. The last of the series
will be run on Thursday, August 23d. This
date covers the high water mark oi the sea -
shore season. All the resorts will be iu their
best feather, and the cool, fresh breezes
which may be enjoyed there during the tor
rid heat ol the dog days would be sufficient
justiGcaliou for going, even if the bathiug
were not at its best, the fishing fiue, aud the
other attractions numberless.
The tickets as heretofore embrace Cape
May, Atlantic City, Sea Isle City or Ocean
City. They will be good for ten days, aud
will be sold from Pittsburg at $lO aud at the

TO THE DRESSMAKERS
OF BUTLER AND VICINITY.
W V. IIKMKI. TO ( A 1.1. YUI K ATTKSTIOS TO A
FEW KACTS
If you desire to do the best work
and command the highest position in
! your calling, it would be well for you
Ito pay close attention to the facts
connected with your business.
Never before have your customers
been so exacting or hard to please as
they have been during the past sea
son and next season the case will be
i worse, instead of better.
This is caused by a morn general
intelligence and broader education on
the part of the people, and by a lack
ot corresponding progress upon the
part of the dressmakers.
Requesting you to carefully read
the following, we are, very respectful
ly.
PITTOCK. & LAVKRY,
Gen. Agents.
Dressmaking in the Future
From tbe National Union]
All arts or trades are rapidly chang
ing and improving under the careful
paiustaking ideas of this practical
age. Yet there is one art that has
failed to advance in a general way
with tbe others. We refer to the art
of dressmaking, and especially of
dress cutting.
But few people realize the import
ance ot the above statement; yet
within tbe uext few years changes in
ideas aud opinions jwill force a tidal
wave over this country that will
swamp everything before it. Like
all radical changes there are many
who will oppose it, yet their opposi
tion will be carried away with a
strength and rush that will make it ap
pear as if there was no opposition, while
others will be wise enough to see the
tide that leads to fortune, and quick
enough to take it at its flow.
A f«w years ago a lady that wanted
to be well dressed patronized French
dressmakers, not through force of
fashion, but for the best reasons, the
English and American dressmakers
were not able to produce the fit and
style as were French dressmakers.
This was on account of lack ot sys
tematic methods used in thoir work
We know full well that many will
take issue with us upon this question,
jet an examination of the fact* will
warrant the statement here made and
would even admit of stronger argu
meat.
This question should not be ignor
ed by any one, and should especially
be heeded by the young ladies and
dressmakers of America.
Ideas are constantly changing and
every day brings out new styles and
combinations which must be under
stood in order to satisfy, and no dress
maker is capable of doing the work
demanded of her and for which cus
tomers pay unless she keeps up with
these changes.
Is the average dressmaker ablo to
meet the demands brought to her by
her best customers at this time? No,
she is not; and why not? In order
to answer this question intelligently
it is necessary to examine the plan of
training the young dressmakers, and
then see the methods afterwards fol
lowed, The first thing that occurs, a
young woman concludes she wants
to work at the trade, and goes and
sews three or four months with some
one who is conducting the business.
She is taught but very little of any
thing but the plain sewing and but
tonhole making, seeing but little of
the cutting and basting of the dress
es that are made in the establishments.
She is taught nothing of scientific
principles, not even knowing such
things exist, and as to the beauty of
outline in form and geometric propor
tion of lines, she has never heard of
such a thing and if her teacher knows
anything more about it than she does
herself, it is a rare occurence.
No one, after sober reflection, will
say that the training thus received is
beneficial to any great degree, and
in most cases everything done has a
tendency to unfiit the worker for good
practical work. About the last week
they are engaged in their apprentice
ship, they are given a few lessons in
some antiquated system, which in its
day of glory had neither fit nor style
in its catalogue of good qualities
With this kind of training or none
at all, the dressmaker sticks out
her shingle and goes to work as a
"first-class" dressmaker. Now, the
wonder is not thst they fail in turn
ing out good work, but that they
can do anything.
There are a few worthy exceptions
that go to prove the rule, and all such
deserve great praise when the trials
thev must have encountered are con
sidered.
The French 9ressmaker learned
some time ago the need of a radical
change in such methods, and a few
enterprising far-sighted men went to
work to remove the evil in their own
case, and did so to such an extent
that they were able to produce sty
lish, good fitting dresses upon scien
tific principles of cutting and making
The results were that they had more
than they could do at fabulous prices
The knowledge of such work having
been done extended over England and
America, bearing with it a desire on
the part of the ladies to have their
dressmakt.rs produce for them the
same kind of work. This demand
aroused a spirit of emulation upon
the part of the oest city dressmakers
in both countries with a resnlt that
is beneficial and is helping to forward
the revolution above referred to. But
the knowledge upon the part of the
people that there was something
better among the possibilities has led
to this uprising, until it has become
a universal feeling on the part of the
people.
This demand must be gratified, and
woe unto the dressmaker who tries to
dam up such a torrent, and great pro
fit will be gained by those who are
shrewd enough to get in the grand
procession.
It would be profitable to know
the cause of such a change in public
sentiment, but it is often difficult to
understand why a certain wave of sen
timent passes over a country at a cer
tain time, yet it is a known fact that
such things often do occur, but the
greatest factor at work in this case
is the effort being put forth by the
National Garment Cutter Compauy
and to that company is due great
credit.
Messrs. Pittock k Laverv, repre
senting the company in the State of
Pennsylvania, have opened instruc
tion rooms on Main street; where
they will instruct all desiring it in the
art of cutting by the most approved
methods.
Those desiring to lead in their pro
fession should certainly see these gen
tlemen and investigate for them
selves.
They come among us highly rec
ommended by press and people, aud
will call upon you at your place of
business or homes.
They have opened an office over
Renno Bros., 47 South Main Street,
Butler, Pa.
All are invited to call and see their
work.
Their rooms will be opened for the
present on Monday, Wednesday, Fri
day, and Saturdays from 1 p. m. to
