Puller's Prosperity. In looking over oor bu*v town for tie la t few days I have been wore tliau ev< r impressed with its thrift and enterprise. Having been born and raised ju the ciunty and being familiar with its history for over twenty-five years, I can say without fear of contradiction that since Butler's organization it has never enjoyed the substantial prosperity of which it can now boast. In the parlance of the street, men are heard to ay that "Butler is having a boom." This is a misnomer. We assoei ate with booms tbe idea of nudnly inflated values and extravagance of ideas, pros perity dependent largely or entirely upon some local development or influence which of necessity is short lived, and whi< h.when dead, carries the boom with it the grave. We venture the assertion that there is not a town in Western l'eunsylvauia of the same population and doing the same vol ume of business that can offer cheaper homes or living. As to extravagance in the management of the interests of the town, nothing could be farther removed from the truth than an assertion of this kind. If our citizens are in error it is rather in the opposite ex treme. The names of Duffy. I'urvis. Berg, Keibcr. Campbell, Troutman, and Klinjr ler and a host of others are rather the very synonyms of conservatism and prudence. "As to our oil business. It may be argil ed that its benefit to the the town is a mat ter of but a brief time —its history will soon be told. No one can deny the possi bility of Butler's occupying the central and distributing point with reference to the county's oil production for twenty-five years and who will dare to predict that our county's output of oil twenty-five years hence will not equal that of to-day. How long since (ircece City's production might have made sc:>res of our citizens rich with more moderation and conservatism on their part. Eight or ten years ago who dreamed of a Thorn Creek or Glade Kan field' " And four years ago who could have guessed the wealth of the Connftquc ncssiug Valley west of usf But suppose we take the most pessimis tic view of this phase of the matter. Sup posing this industry were shortly to cease beiug a feeder to the interests of Butler—a condition of things most improbable—we have still left to us more wealth by thous ands of dollars than we ever had. We have more men of enterprise and business tact and sagacity than we ever had,and we have more natural advantages tban has the city of Denver to-day with its phenomenal size and growth. More water flows over the channel of the Conuoquenessing than is found in the l'latte river where Denver is located and which constituted her only water supply when she boasted of her - 000 population. We have a supply of gas for fuel and light that I >enver has not. and may never have —fuel that is without a ri val for both economy and convenience, ami in the event of an exhausted supply of this as a fuel, we can get coal laid down at our factory doors, in quantities practically in exhaustable, at a price that would be re garded as incredible by that western city, viz: a fraction less than four cents a bush el. In addition to all this we are surrounded by an agricultural section that could feed 50.1KH) people as easily as 5.0011. All these things combine to make Butler the cheap est place for living of any town, with which the writer is acquainted, east or west, af fording equal facilities for making money. In the light of these things the question may be asked, why has Butler been left so far behind her western sisters in the race for distinction? To one who has visited west ern towns and made a study of the causes that led to their rapid growth, in nine cases out of every ton, this is the answer; Western people irant their town or city to grow. They bend every energy and offer every inducement and, if need be, make sacrifices in this direction. They talk about their particular locality; they dwell on its advantages over every place else; they are lavish iu their praises of it to vis itors; they spare uo pains or expense in advertising through the press to the far thest limit of the country, and real estate men sing its praises in every novel and at tractive way. Concentrate the same energy and the same varied efforts toward making of But ler a place of importance that have been used in the upbuilding of Denver, Puyhlo ami a score of other western cities of my acquaintance and within less than five years wo could boast of 25,000 people. We are very sure that if some of our good peo pie of Butler would visit some of these, points whose merits and superior ad van tages have been published to the four winds, they would come home prouder of their native town quietly resting upon her substantial merit though never heralded to the world. We urc glad to note that our people are, to a degree greater than ever before, mani festing a home enterprise, we allude to such industries as the S. (i. Purvis ,!• Co. lumber yard and planing mill, which through the energy and .sagacity of its pro prietors, has kept pace with the ever in creasing demand for building and oil well material.

The men had their porter and barber, now the ladies have their maid and hairdresser. The introduction of the maids is as novel as it is a unique feature. It exists on no other regular train'in the world, and the ladies who tiavel will appreciate it heart ily. The maids are colored women, and there is one employed on each train. They are especially charged to look after the comfort oftLc ladies, children ami invalids. They are to assist the ladies in making their toilets, to dress their hair, ami ITVC as handmaid to them in the fullest tense of the term. They will have an eye to the children, and have a care for invalids and ladies who may travel without a male escort. The convenience and comfort of having an attendant of one's own set will be cordially appreciated by timid women and those -who are inexperienced iu travel.
