County Committee Meeting.
The Republican County Commit
tee met pursuant to the call of Coun
ty Chairman Kindlev, in the rooms of
the Young Mens' Republican Club,
! in Butler, last Saturday afternoon.
Chairman Find ley called the meet
' ing to order, and a call of the roll
showed twenty-six members present
as follows:
Allegheny—J. C. Kiskaddon.
Bald Ridge—W. R. Patterson.
Butler—A O. Eberhart.

Fairview—A. L. Timblin.
Karns City—J. W. (Jlossner.
Prospect—Reuben Shanor.

Suubury—Ross Mechling.
The chairman then stated the ob
ject of the meeting which was to con
sult regarding the Registration and
Assessiug of yoters in the different
districts,and to return the poll books.
Several members were called upon for
reports from their districts, and res
ponded favorably, and the poll books
were handed to the chairman, who
proposes duplicating and then return
ing them.
The question of having a grand dem
onstration in Butler was considered,
and it was decided to have one,to which
all the old veterans of 1840 will be
invited, but the day was not fixed.
It was moved and carried that sub
committee-men be appointed for each
school-district in the county, and
the comrnitee-nien present suggested
names to the chairman.
Mr. Townsend, our candidate for
Congress came into the rooms, and
was called upon for a few remarks.
He responded and talked very sensi
bly regarding his prospective duties
as the Representative of this
district, said he wished to become
acquainted with our interests so that
he could intelligently represent them,
and though he takes it for granted, as
we all do, that the Republicans wiil
carry Pennsylvania this year, hoped
that our majority would reach at
least 100,0U0, and advised paying
close attention to the campaign to ob
tain that result. He made a very
good impression upon the committee,
and was afterwards introduced to all
present.
Towards the end of the meeting,
and after several of the members had
left the hall, Mr. McCullough of Fair
view made a motion for the appoint
ment of a Finance committee, con
sisting of the County Chairman and
two secretaries and Mr, W. G. Hays.
This brought on something of a dis
cussion, but was finally carried by a
vote of 7 to G.
Fire in Centre Township.
When Mr. Henry \V. Whitmire of
Centre twp., left his barn last Satur
day evening he left the doors closed
and everything secure. At about 10
o'clock, their dog begun barking BO
furiously that the family looked out,
but thev saw nobody about, and went
to bed. At about 11 o'clock Esq,
Moses Thompson, who lives with
them, heard a roaring" noise, and
looking out his window saw that the
entire roof of the barn was in (l imes.
He hastily awakened Mr. Whitmire
and they ran out, and found one of
small doors of the upper part of the
barn open, and the fire so advanced
that it was dangerous to enter it.
Then they went the basement and
saved what they could there, and oc
cupied themselves in preventing the
sparks from the flames, which rose to
a height of fifty feet, from setting fire
to the wagon shed and house.
The barn and all its contests—
which included five hundred bushels
of oats, twelve to fourteen tons of
hay, one hundred and twenty-five
bushels of rye and wheat, utraw,
corn plow, cultivator, wagon
bed, forks, scoops, etc, were de
stroyed. It was a substantial bank
barn about 30 x .">0 fit. Fortunately
no live stock were in it at the time.
From the fact that the small door
was open,and also that he has enemies
in the neighborhood growing out of
a recent law suit or prosecution, Mr.
Whitmore thinks that lire was
the work of an incendiary
Ho estimates his entire loss at $lB,
slßoo,and is insured in Butler Mutual
for Si:JOO.

$3 Oil.
Captain Vandergrift, the oil man,
has lately been predicting Three-dol
lar oil by the first of January next,
and considering that tho consumption
of crude is now about 75,000 barrels
a day, the production but 15,000 bar
rels, and that the stocks ou baud have
steadily been decreasing at the rate of
a million barrels a mouth, the predic
tion is not unreasonable.
And we wish to say, that should
it coino to pasu t{sat oil ajjajn reaches
a fair price, to no one man qn Farth
will more credit bo due than to Mr.
Thos. W. Phillips,whose interest and

The Educational Picnic.
Picnic, n, (French piquenique)
Formerly an entertainment at which
■ each person contributed some dish or
' article for the general table;in present
I use, an entertainment carried ou by u
i party on an excursion of pleasure in
to the country; also the party itself.
Webster.
Xo enthusiasm about that.
Cold, hard, business-like definition.
Good old Noah Webster probably
never was at one in bis life or he
would certainly have put more color
in his definition of a picnic. Some
old dyspeptic has told Webster all he
knew of that peculiar feature of this
land of the free, and that's why there
is snch an absence of enthusiasm
about a picnic as it appears in Web
ster's Unabridged.
Now, if he could have been at the
Educational Picnic at Slippery Rock
Park on Wednesday.
To begin with: Everybody in Cen
treville was there, uearly everybody
of Ilarrisyille and a great many from
everywhere else in the county. The
teachers were there, the friends of
education generally were there, and
the Professors wers there, and let it
be known that when they get out
they have a t-i-m-e. The weather
was fine,and everyone had more than
a barrel of fun.
The first event of the day was a
ball game between the Ceutreville and
Greenville clubs and Ourville beat
Theirvilie by a score of 13 to 10,
which goes to show that education
and athletics go hand-in-hand.
Dinner was aonounced at twelve
o'clock aud the only way the amount
eaten could be accounted for was on
the supposition that everyone was a
hearty eater aud mighty hungry, and
that, everything was "perfectly fplen
did." The way spring chickens of |
the vintage of'Bß disappeared was ;
appalling and was enough to make |
the Undertaker's Trust shake in its!
boots.
After dinner school was called and
speeches were made by some of the
leading educators of this vicinity.
Prof Mnckey, Snp't of City Schools
here, spoke first, and cautioned the
Normal School in the selection of the
Faculty,saying that the school would
be as its teachers. He made a very
logical address in favor of educatiou
as a polish and refinement, and plead
for its appreciation as an inward en
joyment and for self culture as being
an idea over and above its value as a
practical benefit in life.
Lev. McQuistion, Eeq. made an ad
dress on moral traiuing in connection
with science, thought morals could
be taught in the schoolroom without
the Bible, and said that all the com
monwealth expected of our public
schools was to turn out good citizens,
Sup't of Pittsburg Schools, George
J. Luckey was a mirthful and im
pressive speaker who opposed teach
ing religion and science in the same
school and thought France was made
infidel ou that account, giving as his
reason that requiring everything to
be demonstrated makes one want the
fact of our creation by God to be
demonstrated, too. Prof. Luckey
evidently forgets that even in math
ematics there are truths which defy
demonstration. Two parallel straight
lines, however far extended will never
meet, yet who can demonstrate it? Ho
closed with the Catacomb story which
was heartily applauded.
I'rof. Hamilton, Sup't of Allegheny
Schools, spoke in an entertaining ar;d
instructive manner.
Hon. (J. VV. Fleeger made a short
address complimenting the people of
Centreville on their enterprise in tak
ing hold of the Normal School mat

The trial of Dan Ever hart for the
murder of Mrs. Gillilian and Mrs
Eyerhart, began in Clarion last
Thursday, but came to a sudden stop
on Saturday morning, by reason of
the siekuess of one of the jurors, and
the ease was continued lill the third
Monday of November. During the
trial, as far as it went, some startling
testimony regarding ill will in the
family over the partition ot the es

on the feelings of the sick woman that
she imagined herself cured, and, in

the woman's death was hastened by
excitement, and Mrs. Lees has disap

»■ KU FACTS
If you desire to do the best work
and command the highest position in
j yo<;r tailing, it would be well for yon
jto pay close attention to the facts
j connected with your business.
Never before have your customers
I been so exacting or hard to please as
they have been during the past sea
! son and next season the case will l>e
worse, instead of better.
This is caused by a more general
! intelligence and broader education on
the part of the people, and by a lack
of corresponding progress upon the
part of the dressmakers.
Requesting you to carefully read
the following, we are, very respectful-
Jy.
PLTTOCK & LAYKRY,
Gen. Agents.
Dressmaking in the Future.
From the National Uiiion]
All arts or trades are rapidly chang
ing and improving uuder the careful
painstaking ideas of this practical
age. Yet there is one art that has
failed to advance in a general way
with the 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 the next few years changes in
ideas and opinions will 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 few years ago a lady thai; wanted |
to be well dressed patronized French j
dressmakers, not through force of j
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 ol sys
tematic methods used in their work.
We know full well that many will
take issue with us upon this question,
yet an examination of the facts will
warrant the statement here made and
would even admit of stronger argu
ment.
This question should not be iguor
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 doiug 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 plau 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 tho 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 tho last week
they are engaged iu their apprentice
ship, they are given a few lessons in
some antiquated system, which in its
day of glory hud 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 cot that they fail iu 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
they must have encountered are con
sidered.
Tho French dressmaker learned
some time ago tho need of a radical
chanjo in such methods, and a few
enterprising far-flighted inon went to
work to remove the evil in their own
cane, and did HO to such an extent
that they wore able to produce sty
lish, good fitting dresses upon scien
tific principles of cutting and making.
Tho results were that thoy had more
than they could do at fabulous prices.
The knowledge of such work having
been done extended over England aud
America, bearing with it a desire on
the part of the ladies to have their
dress,makers produce for them the
same kind of work. This demand
aroused a npirit of emulation upon
the part of the best city dressmakers
iu both countries with a result that
is beneficial and is helpiug to forward
the revolution above referred to. But
the knowledge upon the part of tho
people that there was something
better anions the possibilities has led
to this uprising, until it has becomo
a universal feeling on the part of the
people.
This demand must bo gratified, and
woe unto tho dressmaker who trios to
dam up such a torrent, and great pro
lit will be gained by those who are
shrewd enough to get in the grand
procession.
It would bo profitable to know
tho 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 Company
and to that company is due great
ere J it.
Messrs. l'ittock Laverv, repre
senting the company iu tho State of
Pennsylvania, have opened instruc
tion rooms on Mnin street; whore
they will instruct all desiring it in the
art of cutting by the most approved
methods.
