Mr. Schenck of the Fire Alarm Committee reported that the town was too short of money at present to put in the system, also that the firemen say the} need hose more than the fire alarm sys tem. Mr. Black said there was "absolutely no money." Mr. Forquer corroborated them, and the report of the committee was adopt ed, which means no firo alarm system at present for Butler, and which blasted the hopes of Mr. Meyers of Sharpsburg. who was an interested spectator. Mr. Meyers thanked the Council for the interest they had taken in the Gamewell system; thought that the firemen should have a 1000 feet of hose for each Co., and a tower to dry the wet hose. Mr Stamm ot the Sullivan-run Dam Committee recommended the destruction of the dam and the building of another above the Mifflin St. bridge: from which the sewer could be flushed by a pipe. Mr. Schenck thought that would not better the matter, as the 24-inch iron pipe lay on the bed ot the run and itself makes the dam; he favored turning the run into its old channel. Mr. Forquer thought that this trouble was "hatched up and imagin ary" and that some parties saw a specula tion in it.

The Ladies Home Journal. A most unique magazine is the February Ladies' Home Journal, entirely made up, as it is, in prot-e, verse and fiction by daughters of lamous parantage, some of the "daughters" being lamed themselves. Thirty '•daughters" are represented, each by au article, story or poem, and a more carious and suceesslul innovation in maga zine literature has uot been made for years. The issue is in every respect a surprise, and is a powerful argument in beiiall of hereditary geniens. Hawthorn's daughter, Air.-.. Lathrop, for example, has an excel lent story; Mildred Howels' the novelist's daughter, writes a very sweet poem; tbe daughters of Charles Dickens, Thackeray, . iid Horace Greeley all write of tbeir fam ous fathers; President Harrison's daughter, Mrs McK>-e, surprises by writing a very strong article on "The training ol Children;" Gladstone's daughter tells "How a Wo man's College Begau" of which she is Vice- Principal; General Sherman's daughter tells a clever war story; Julia Ward Howe pre sents throe literary daughters; ex-Senator Ingalls' clever daughter Kthcl sketches Mrs. Lelaud Sanlord; Jefferson Davis' fav orite daughter, Winnie, portrays ' The American Girl who Studies Abroad," from her own experience; auu these are follow ed up by tbe daughters of Sir Morrel Mackrnzie, "Mrs. Alexander" and Kichard lleury Dana; Miss Hrodly, writes of tho '•yueens oi Westminister Abbey,"ofwhich her lather is Dean, And as a fitting com plement to the fure-part ol the issjio Julia War J llowe, Mrs. iienry Ward Beeber, Mrs. Admiral Dahlgren, Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney und other famous mothers tell "How to Train a Daughter." This is. in deed, a curious number, and tho most novel ever issued by a magazine. None of the Journal'M departments are omitted, the "famous daughters" occupying tbe fore part of the magazine, while Dr. Talmagc, ••Dob" Burdelte, Margaret Hottouie aud all the other Journal editors form tbe rear guard. Sucb au issue is worth five times itx modest price of ten cents. Published, at $1 pur year, by tbe Curtis Publishing Co. ol Philadelphia. A Series of Three .Special Excursions to Washington, it.

He lived long enough to bid good bye to hi.s wife and eight children His oldest boy is 13 years of age. As the wife of the dying man and their group of little children gathered about him to take their last loving good-bye. the scene was one of the most pathetic ever witnessed by those present and caused the tears to flow treely.

The dead man's name was J».bu Gilland and for several years he lias lived alone there in the mountain fastnesses, with no com pauion but his dog, savo when a iiunting party would locate at the camp for a short season, For months at a time he never saw civilization, living exclusively on the game anil fish he could shoot and catch. For a long time he lived iu a hut made of liark, fashioned like an Indian tepee. He wandered over the mountains with a dog and gun, and seemed to enjoy his solitary existauoe. When found, it was evident that he had been doad several days, per haps weeks, and the gaunt and emaciated form of his faithful dog was by his side, almost dead from starvation. Aud he would no doubt have remained tboru and died by the side of his dead master, and never dreamed of deserting his post. Dogs sometimes do things that make us ashamed of our humanity. The body was taken to Clearfield aud buried on Monday. It is presumed that the man died of pneumonia, or some kiudred disease, as ho had pul monary trouble. What We Have Got.

Grip Gets the Blame, But in a great many cases it is not the grip, but impure, unwholesome food that is responsible for sickness Crackers, for instance, that have teen transported for a long distance and stored in damp, mouldy ware houses are very apt to breed disease. The way to avoid this is to buy only fresh, wholesome crackers,made right here in Pittsburg That's the kind Marvin's are. Don't be fooled into buying crackers or cakes that are said to be "just as good " Insist on having Marvin's and you may be sure of having the purest, the fresh est, the best in the market. We Are Bound To clean out our wraps, blankets and furs To do so we are offering them at lower prices than ever known to the trade. R. & R. Baby McKee's Tears.
