probably true that the Chief Justice could
not make a success at writing advertise

plies that the writing of advertisements for
a great commercial house calls for only a
low order of genius, makes a mistake. As
a matter of fact, it. is a knack that is ex
ceedingly rare.— Pittsburg Times.

umns. Week before last John I.Gordon
one of the editors and proprietors of the
Dispatch came out in a card criticizing
Henry Hall, another of the editors and
proprietors, for leaving his editorial work
and going off on a trip during the Amend
ment campaign and also for not defend
ing the syndicate schools on the floor of
the Hausc at Ilarrisburg, while a member
of it. ll.ill answered him last week,claim
ing ill health as his roason for going away,
and acknowledging that he would not de
fend the Orphans' School Syndicate though
asked to do so. This week will be Gor
don's "poke-in" again, and no doubt, the
whole town is waiting ft>r his card No. 2
with bated breath. A missionary of light
and love is needed in Mercer.

—The I'ittsburg Dispatch says: "Mr.
J. B. Hutchinson, the new superintendent
of the West Penn road, is proving himself
to be a man of great energy. He formerly
had charge of the Altooiia division of the
Pennsylvania road. Mr. Hutchinson is de
termined to put the trrtcks of the West
Penn road into such shape that a high rate
of speed can be attained. The grading for
the double track as far as the Allegheny
river is about completed, and the rails will
soon be laid. It is not the intention to
double-track the entire road at once, as
has been reported. A little will be done
at a time. Between the main line and the
Ft. Wayne road the West Penn is often
taxed beyond its capacity. Mr. Hutchin
son intends to change the passenger
schedules iu the spring, and one of the
things contemplated is the introduction of
several fast trains. The patrons of the
road will welcome all such innovations."
—ln a discussion on "Road Making" by
the Farmer's Institute at Kittanning, last
Saturday, the prevalent idea was that the
city people were the ones most desirous of
good roads and that they were agitating
the question more vehemently than the
farmers. The opinion that the cost of "real
good roads" would be too great for the
farmers to contemplate seriously, general
ly prevailed.— The Institute was mis
taken jis to the city or town people being
most desirous for good roads. Only those
town people who own horses are directly
interested in the streets and roads, and
they do not form more than one-fifth of the
population. Hie balance of the popula
tion of a town walk from their homes to
their places of business, and are not as
much interested in the condition of the
streets of the town as are those farmers
who market iu it. I'nlcss the farmers are
favorable to good roads they will never be
built, and the county could build a few
miles of good road each year without the
tax being burdensome.

NOTES.
M. V.'. Watson, Mrs. Matilla Marshall
and Thomas M Marshall, tru-tees of the
estate of James Marshall, deceased, have
entered suit in Allegheny connty against
the National Transit Company, to recover

plaintiffs and the Fisher Oil Company
entered into an agreement with the de
fendant company for the transportation

was to be credited one fourth to the plain
tiffs and three-fourths to the Fisher Oil
Company. Since April, 1889, however, the
Transit Coninauy has received oil of which
tho plaintiffs' share was valued at
$7,75.a 06, which they did not credit to the

proceeds

There is the hundred-foot, the third sand,
the fourth sand, the Bullion sand, and
wells are beiug drilled now in the hope of
finding the Speechley sand, 2,500 feet be
low the surface. From all these different
strata, except the last, oil is being produc
ed, and in some instances old wells which
had been producing for years, have been
drilled deeper with very gratifying results,
proving that more than one oil producing
rook may be found in a single well.

Samuel Hoop, the teacher recently ap
pointed by the School Directors of Clay
mont, Pa., to take charge of the school at
that place, has introduced some novel
method - of punishment to control the wild
and unruly boys that come to him for in
struction. He does not believe in the use
of the rod, but seine of his methods of pun
ishment are hardly less severe.
He found that the use of profane lan
guage was general among the boys who
attended his school, and he determined to
put a stop to it. Any boy caught swear
ing is now brought up before him and after
school his mouth is washed out with a
sponge and water, aud after that tin; to tell
er scrapes the swearing tongue with a
knife. Nearly every night after school

Charles Harvey, a wealthy farmer, of
Midway, Washington county, has been
sued for SIO,OOO damages for alienating the
alfecti >ns of the wife of William 11. Meyers,
a well-known box-maker, of Pittsburgh.
The suit has been entered in the Wash
ington County Courts, and will be tried at
the next term.
Harvey is over Go years of age, and is
well-known both in Pittsburgh and in
Washington county. In the bill tiled by
Meyers be alleges that llarvey visited bis
home on Jones avenue several times dur
ing his absence and succeeded in enticing
20-year-old Mrs. Meyers from her husband.
Harvey makes a general denial of the
charges, and says that Mrs. Meyers came
to live with him because her husband
treated her cruelly.

Kcv. 1., li. lilack. of the Disciple church.
Sew Lisbon, 0., had an experience Sun
day evening which he is not likely to for
get. He was preaching from the text
''Excuse Me," and was enumerating and
tryins to explain away the various excu
ses for not going to church. The parable
of the rich man's feast furnished illustrat
ions. When he came to the excuse, "No
good clothes," he grew eloquent on the
respectability of poverty, and warming to
his work made this remarkable statement:
"God knows you're welcome to come to
this house without any clothes." There
was first a blank stare, then a broad grin,
a smicker in the back seats and at last a
roar that would have made a tirst class
comedy company feel proud.

The P. & W. R. R.
A dispatch from Pittsburgh to u New
! York dated 1.1 t Friday. said
I The itatoinent in*(l«»ow time ago as to
| Mr. Andrew Carnegie's joining ban<ls with
I ill* Ft:tltim<>ri* and Ohio i- 5 fully eorroborat
| ttl. -As part of the deal Mr Carnegie has nr is
Ito turn th«- control <>f the Pittsburgh •{
i Western road over to the Haiti more i(
Ohio in tiuie to have the new eomhiua
tion in shape to handle the sprint; ore |
traffic.
Mr. Oarnejiie has owned :f>,oot) shares of
f Pittsburgh A Western stoek for Moine
j months. Uj has a>hleil 50,000 shares
($2,500,000) to that l»y purchases of coui
mon ami preferred stock i:i the market at
figures which make his Oliver option cost
les-i than it otherwise would. 11 com
nion U said to haw cost fcim 12.4 and his
preferred IS}.
The '"put" which 11. W. Oliver, Drexel.
Morgan <t Co., J. I>. f'allery and J. I>.
fhalfant have got on Mr. Carnegie will lie
exercised so that the new Baltimore and
Ohio management will go into ofliee at
the annual meeting of the Pittsburgh and
Western in May. The lake ore and rail
traffic will probably open much earlier
this year, and the Pittsburgh and Wes
tern. with its Painsville and Cleveland
connections, will be promptly put in shape
for it.
The Valley road, recently bought by the
Baltimore Jfc Ohio, will do the Pittsburgh
»t Western trade between Akron and
Cleveland. It is said that Thomas il
King is to mccoed Mr. llenry W. Oliver
as President of the Pittsburgh £ Western.
By this means Mr. Carnegie gets a
short and cheap line from his mill to the
lakes. It is understood that 11 r. Carnegie
is the "K.istern capitalist" who recently
entered into negotiations for the Johns
Hopkins and city of Baltimore blocks of
of the Baltimore A Ohio took. It is re
ported here that these blocks will be sold.

COJI MI'ITEE.
Four Striking Features of tho
Pennsylvania Limited.
Of all the passenger trains of the world,
none presents for the convenience and ac
commodation of its passengers so many
original and novel features as the Pennsyl
vania Limited. This train otters four great
features unique in the history of passenger
travel. As it speeds across the continent
there are Hashed over the wires, to meet
or overtake it, the. lluctuations of the New
York and Philadelphia stock markets, and
there are also ii'ited on its bulletins full
reports of tin doings in the foreign and
domestic liiinnci.il marts. Thus the way
faring man reads as he runs.
In order that the traveler may dispatch
any commission which these reports may
uggest, or dispose of any current corres
pondence, a stenographer and typewriter
is provided for the free use of the train's
patrons. He will take the dictation of
fetters or telegrams, and see that they are
forwarded from the train. Thus may busi
ness proceed though the counting room
be many miles away.
So much for the men. Ladies could
never before travel in such comfort. For
their convenience a waiting-maid is assigned
to each train, whose duty it is to serve as
ladies' maid in all that the term implies.
Ladies without escort, ladies with chil
dren, and invalids are the particular ob
jects of their care. So that one's own
maid may be left atlioßH), aud yet the fair
traveler may receive assistance of otic well
trained in the duties ot her vocation. The
fourth important feature, also of interest
to the ladies, is the observation car. This
ear is attached to the rear of the train.
The latter half of it is a large open sitting
room furnished with easy chairs. Broad
plate windows admit a wide expanse ot
light, and the broad platform at the rear
makes a pleasant open air observatory in
fair weather. This car is open t« all pas
sengers and forms a magnificent sitting
room for ladies.
With these four prominent character
istics, in addition to the superior sleeping
apartments, bath-rooms for both sexes, a
dining ear "unexcelled in service and
cuisine, smoking and reading apartments,
and a barbel saloon, the Pennsylvania
Limited sustains its claim of being the
most complete passenger train of the
world.

Xtw CASTI.I. I'cb. IS.— Taylor is
the name, or rather wa- the name, of t
comely little Knglisli girl who has beeu
doing hnnsework for veral families in
. Sew Castle for ••me time J.a t. She came
| to Xew Castle from Sharon, where he hud
: been employed as a dining room girl at
the Carver house. After coining here she
| secured a place at Simpson's hotel in Kb
ensburg, live miles from the city, but gave
it up to accept a place at the residence of
B. A. Wiutenuitz, Esq., where she re
maiued until one week ago last Saturday.
On that day she went to the home of Mr.
Kvans, on South Jefferson street iuteuding
to spend two or three days with Mrs. Kv
ans' daughters. That Saturday evening,
iu company with Miss Kvans, she attended
a party given at the residence of Mrs.
Jones, in the Fifth ward. There she met Wai
ter A. Marquis,a young man who for some
time previous had been employed as a tire
man on the Pittsburg and Western rail
road. It was a case of love at first fight,
and when they went to their respective
beds that night it was to dream of each
other. Early the next morning young
Marquis met his charmer at Mr Evan's
residence, and less than fifteen minutes
they were engaged and Monday found
them standing before a minister promising
to "love, cherish and obey" each other.
Monday evening they departed for Peru,
Indiana, where the groom had a remuner
ative positiou awaiting him. Mr. Mar
quis is well spoken of by all who know
him, and is . aid to be an honest, hard
working young mail. The bride has quite
a romantic history. She was born in Bir
mingh;ui>. England, but came to this conn
try when quite young owing to the death
of her father, who was a man of consider
able means. She took up her home with
a married sister at Washington, I'.i . but,
she alleges, her sister did not treat her
properly and she set out to make her own
living, which she has done duiing the past
five or six years. She will lie of age next
summer and claims to be the heir to eon
tiderable property, which she cross the
water to claim. She is a little below medium
height and is possessed of more than ordi
nary good looks.

Our Goods are not marked
up to admit of making you a

purchase as some little dealers
do to try and catch trade.
There must be something
wrong with a business house
that has to oiler prizes and
gifts to induce customers to
buy from them; it does not
sound as though their business
was satisfactory to them.
The buyers of Roots and
Shoes nowdays are as smart as
some dealers are; they fully
understand, and don't expect
$1.25 worth of shoe leather for
$1.00; all they want is full
value for their money,and buy
as cheaply us their neighbors
do at one straight price.
They don't want to buy a
