FRANK E. McQUISTION. The "Good Time" Young Man. How so many youg men as there are in Butler and other places can live without working or any visible means of support is one of the unsolvable mysteries of the day. Some appear to have no object in life other than ease and idleness. They continually want amusement without earning it, and seek a good time in attend ing all sporting affairs at home and abroad. If they are waiting for something to turn np—some soft snap with plenty of money in it. requiring no exertion of muscle or brain, no sweat, no soiled hands or tired feet—they make the sad mistake of their lives if they don't go and turn something np, a shovel, a wheelbarrow,a set of books, a machine of any kind, or any other piece of work. Time will pass, they will grow old, and after the years of activity have flown they will go down the hill full of re grets that they did not realize that there was more in life than they snpposed there was. Young men, remember that youth and young manhood are the opening days, the only morning of lite you will ever have, when preparation for life's battles and stern realities must be made, and that there is nothing that will so unfit you for success as even a summer of idleness. Re member that the contentions of the world are now greater than ever, and that if you miss your opportunity now you cannot suooesstnlly compete, cannot rise to the pace and must inevitably fall behind the trained hands and heads oi those who have not wasted their time in idle dream ing and slothfulness. Remember that your family, friends, fellow citizens, town, state and country are looking for you to fit yourself for filling the niche of honor and credit that stands ready far you. as it stood for your fathere, and will remain after you have passed away. Society must exist, government must go on, the world must accomplish its great purpose. II you do not perform an honorable part in life, if you are a laggard and keep not up with the prooeasion, but fall behind be cause of laiiness, your name will be ana thema here and the corridors of after-time will resound with maranatha as your soul passes on. We would say this much at this time for the enoouragement of the noble class of young men who stick to work notwith standing plays and pleasures are going on all around them, irksome as it may seem to some beoause of the "good times oth ers are enjoying, finding work the nobler thing because of its certain outcome, rath, er than pursuing pleasures which must break in sorrow when the night comes. But we would not wish this thought to be constructed as meaning that recreation should never be indulg»d;in;on the contrary it should be taken seasonably and reason ably, and as often as oironmstances will admit, but never to the disadvantage of the main objeot every young man should have in life, the building up a charac ter for industry, integrity and sobriety, •omething that will stand the wear and tear of the swiftly flying years and obtain the plaudits of time and eternity. THB Butler Herald is now an out and out Quay paper. If the Democratic paperß " of this state would publish what they are now saying ot Quay and what they said a few years ago in parallel columns it would make mighty interesting reading. Politics in "Little Lawrence." A New Castle telegram has the fol lowing in regard to things political: While Lawrenoe oonnty is strongly a Quay county, still there is no absolute certainty that all of the three delegates will vote for Quay when the convention meets in August. There is some dis satisfaction here, not at Senator Quay, but at his methods of distributing patron age. An effort is on foot in the county to give Hon. Thomas "W. Phillips another term in congress when his present term will end, bnt Hon. James S. Fruit, of Sharon, whose term as state senator will expire soon, is being groomed by Meroer connty people for the position, The most I prominent persons named in Lawerence oount for Mr.Fruit's successor are "William M. Brown, H, W. Grigsby, A. L Martin, Capt J. H. Gilliland and George W. Johnson, who received the nomination of Lawrenoe connty fonr years ogo. There is also some talk of giving Mr. Fruit a second term provided be can give Law erence county the Mercer county congres sional delegates when Mr. Phillips comes np for a third term. NOTHIHO indicates so clearly the dying out of the silver craze in the South as the rapidly increasing number of sound money newspapers in that section. Not to speak of Kentucky, where the battle has ended so decisively against silver, encourage ment comes from nearly every Southern State. The sound money sentiment has frown wonderfully in Tennessee, Alabama' Georgia and Texas, while in North Caro lina and Mississippi able advocates have come out against the free coiners and em* phatically In favor of the policy of the Administration. This is nothing more than what was to have been expected; bnt it is, indeed, gratifying to intelligent people that their hopes should be so fully realized. The campaign in finance is mak ing rapid headway in the South. RIPUBUCAXS all over the State will do well to note the faot that leading Demo eratio journals are among the most zealous promoters of Mr. Quay's campaign against the State Administration. This is natural. A few weeks ago Mr. Quay led his person al henchmen in the House to the aid of the Democrats for the defeat of the Republi can majority, and for this service the Dem ocrats owe him much. But besides this oanse for gratitude the Democratic editors no doubt have a lively expectation of ben efits to come from Mr. Quay's efforts. Looking tack, they Bee that his manage ment has recently given Republican Penn sylvania two Democratic Administrations. —Wellsborough Agitator. THB Baltimore and Lehigh railroad, whioh runs from that city to Delta, this State, will probably be the first road to substitute electricity for steam as a motive power. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad will use only electric locomotives in its tunnel*, but the Baltimore and Lehigh oompany contemplates using them over the entire line. Estimates of the cost of electrical power are now before the execu tive committee of the company. A HEW treatment for consumption, which is said to have sared 37 out of 43 cases is summarized as follows: The patients are submitted to continuous inhalation of the vapor of the ethcrial oil of pepperment; and at the came time a solution of creosote mixed with a small amount of the pepper ment essence is administered. Hyper alimentation Was also advised. Functions of the New Court. The superior court composed of seven judges, and went into being July 1. The first judges were appointed bylthe Gov ernor, and hold office under his commis sion until the first Monday of January, 1886. The first elected judges of the court will be chosen at the election in Novem ber next, when the seven candidates re ceiving the highest number ot votes shall ie the judges, but no elector shall vote for more than six candidates. This insures one judge to the Democracy. The term of office is ten years. Tho president judge shall be that elected judge whose com mission shall have priority either in t>me or as the result of lots cast immediately after the first election. The salary of each judge is $7,500 per year. The court shall sit at least once a year at Philadelphia. Pittsburg, Harrisburg, Scranton and Williamsport. but may fix for sittings at other places, bach county wherein it ma}' sit shall provide at the cost of the state, suitable accommoda tions and lacillities for its meetings.

All its decisions shall be printed in volumes to be entitled ''Pennsylvania Superior Court Report," The Superior court has no original juris diction, except that it may issue writs of habeas oorpus, but it has exclusive and final appellate jurisdiction of all appeals now allowed to the supreme court in all procedings in the court of Quarter Ses sions, except cases involving the right to a public office, but no appeal from a sen tence mpon an indictment may be taken unless it be specially allowed by a judge of the Superior court, who may admit to bail or make an order of supersedas. It ha 3 jurisdiction in all proceedings in Courts of Oyer and Terminer, except cases of felonious homicide, and in all other cases, including distributions in the com mon pleas at law or in eiuity, where the amount in controversy i? not greater than $2,000, except cases brought, authorized or defended by the Attorney General. Any case whatever except felonious homicide, may be held by the Superior court, if the parties or their attorneys stipulate that this may be done. Nevertheless, there may still be an appeal to the Supreme court, if the juris diction of the Surperior court is an issue; j if the case involves a construction of tho United States Constitution, statutes or a treaty;,if it involves a construction of the Pennsylvania Constitution, or if tho ap peal be allowed by the Superior court itself or by any justice of the Supremo court. Four judges may certify in any case that the questions involved aro so diffionlt or important as to make it expe dient that it should be decided by the Supreme court, in which event it goes to the latter for decision. So far as applica ble, the rules governing practice in the Supreme court shall obtain in the Supe rior court. Members of tho bar of the Supreme court on July 1, 1895, shall be come without further action members of the bar uf the Superior court, and subse quent admissions shall be nnder rules not more burdensome than those ol tho Su preme court.

"HARPER'S Weekly" will soon begin the publication of a number of articles by Julian Ralph, who, during his recent tour in the west, investigated)) with his charac teristic zeal and discretion such subjects as Ciyiliz&tion in the Indian Territory, Co education in the west and the peculi arities of Municipal Government in West era Cities. A DISPATCH from Peach Springs, Ari zona, to the San Francisco Chronicle says: One of the largest silver nuggets on record was found about four miles from this place sevral days ago. Two prospectors on their way from Death Valley discovered a boulder weighing several hundred pounds composed of nearly uure silver. Tae value is placed at about SIO,OOO. PeteisvtJle Points. Early in the Spring tho United Presby terian congregation at White Oak Springs church called a young man by tho name of Rev. W. J. Grimes to bo their pastor. At that time he was single and the fair young ladies in the neighborhood cast longing eyes at their noble pastor. This state of affairs continued until a few we ks ago, when he rented the Cliff Brandon house and evidently expected to chose his life companion and the question was ask ed many times "who will it be?" That question was soon to be answered, for on Monday of last week he left for his father's home in Belmont county, Ohio, and on Wednesday was married to one ol Ohio's fairest daughters. Tho congregation wish ing to give their pastor and his bride a hearty welcome, planned a reception to bo given on his return,and on Thursday »vtun ing, when they drove up to their new home they found the house aud yard filled with members of his congregation and friends awaiting to welcome them. Five largo tables weie set out in the yard loaded with good things, and after all had passed an hour at the bountiful feast, the evening was spent pleasantly together, and all joined in wishing their pastor and his wife a long life filled with the richest blessings God has in store for his children. On Wednesday ovening of last week Mrs. McCollough died. She was a sister ot Lor man Walker, superintendent for tho For est Oil Co. at this place, and a daughter of Rev. Walker who formerly preached at Portersville and Whitestowu. She was a woman of rare intellectual attainments and an earnest Christian. She was buried at Portersville on Friday. A short service was held at the house of her brother where she died, conducted by Rev. Miller of Parker, assisted by Rev. Cutler of this place. The principal address was made at the church at Portersville by Rev. Miller who was assisted by the pastor of that church. On Tuesday alternoon the 9th llenry K. Dnmbaugh met with a severe accident while unloading a car of coal at Reibold, he stepped off the wagon on to the car and slipped and fell on the side of the car and broke three ribs. He is doing as well as can be expected. There has been a great deal of sickness of late, a child of Levi Sarver was very siok but is better, also Minnie Plasted was sick and is better, Annie Watson is better, and McClain McConnell, Purvi ance's driver is laid up with lung trouble. Among tho visitors are Mrs. Sarah Woods of Beaver Falls, Miss Minnio Daugherty is visiting her sister Mrs. Mary Curr. Mrs. Nannie Richardson returned home today from a three weeks visit at Beaver Falls. UNDERWRITER. The new constitution ot Utah does away with grand juries except on special call by the judges, and it makes the petit jury consist of eight meu instead of twelve, and three fourths of the panel can render a verdict The old jury system is in some ways bungling and unsatisfactory. Wheth er this Utah innovation is the way to re form it and make it more elective expe rience alone can tell. The marvelous telautograph was used with success in sending out the press re ports of the recent Republican League Con vention at Cleveland All th:it is needed is to sit down at the instrument, take a a pencil of the telautograph in your hund and write just the same as though you were writing a letter, and tLe matter will be reproduced at the other end of the wire. The telautograph is one of the mi'St wonderful inventions in connection with that modern wonder-worker, elec tricity. SEARCHING FOR A FORTUNE. (We found the following in the P'tts_ burg Com Gazttte of the 12th, inst. which may possibly be found of interest to some one in this county:) John Kennedy of Jacksonville, 111., was in town a few day? ago looking for infor mation about James Mct'ali-ter, his uncle, who, he supposes, left his father, John Kennedy, a fortune, lie secured the ser vices of"Attorney A. S. Miller to look np his deceased relative, but the search so far has been productive of no results. McCalister came here from Scotland iorty years ago and settled in Lntler county, near the town of Butler. In time he became rich and went back to bcotland to visit his relatives and stopped with the Kennedy tamily in Ayr. McCalister re turned to America and was heard of no more alive. In 1880 three commissioners came to Ayr from America, looking for one John Kennedy, heir to the estate of James Mc Cali-ter. John Kennedy bad moved to another part of Scotland and the commis nioners finding no trace of him. and tLere being so many Kennedys jn the town, gave np the search. John Kennedy came t« the United States four years a-'o and settled in Illinois. While here he heard that a commission had been inquiring for his lather to give him the estate of James McCalister. This lead to the present search. _ , Kennedy made a visit to Butler county and found the place where McCalister hai died among strangers, but could learn nothing about any wealth. It is Ken nedy's opinion that MiCalister had sold his property and converted it into cajjti and had placed it in some bank. The search for the three commissioners who visited Scotland has also been a failure. The 100 th aud 134 th will reune at Rock Point, Aug. 21 or 28. Obituaiy—Dr. A. W. Crawford. At his present home in Emlenton, Pa., Sundav, July 14th, 1895, Alexander W. Crawford, M'. D., in the 81st year of his ace. . To all of this place and of this county who knew Doctor Crawford the news of his dea'h came with more than usual ex pressions of regret. The passing away of so honorable a man. so genial a gentle man, so true a friend, so public spirited and useful a citizen, must always be a cause of sorrow in any community. There is in this case, however, the consolation that death did not come until a good ripe old ago. when life's work had been well done. „ , , in his early days Dr. Crawford prac ticed medicine in Butler. Then he re turned to and among the highly respected people of his name so numerous in the up per end of our county. Among them he was always respected a* a man and as a safe friend and counselor. For many years he came as their representative from Allegheny township to our Republican county conventions and meetings. In them "he always was respected and ex ercised much influence. He engaged in the iron making business, and his home in Allegheny township, which he called Kensington, was named after an iron fur nace ot that name which he established. Here resorted his friends on many occa sions where they were always made wel come to his hospitable home. Dr. Crawford was a true patriot and took an active part in the political affairs of the times. He was thrice elected to the Legislature of the State, to-wi% in the years 1855-' SO and '57. being an honor as to leugth of time, but seldom conferred in this county. In 18G1 he was appointed by President Lincoln to represent our coun try as consul at Antwerp, Belgium. While there he aided materially in mak ing Antwerp the ereat port of entry for our oil that it. continues to be. After re turning home he engaged in the oil and other business and continued active in same until recently when he removed to Etnlenton. The immediate cause of his death came from au accident —a talt he had received. He was twice married, but had no children, llis second wile, a daughter of Hon. Jacob Black, of Clar ion county, survives him. And thus closes the life of a man whose memory will be always green with those who knew him while memory lasts. A kind obliging, faithful, steadfast friend is gone to his rest. J.H.N. BT vetoing the electric light and water works bills Governor Hastings rendered the people of this state a great public ser vice. A Man and His Bottle. Ir en opinion by Justice Afitchell the Supreme Cf the state has decided that the man with a bottle is all right. The ca.-o under consideration was carried up from Bucks county, a man being charg ed with furnishing liquor oil Sunday while electioneering. The alleged offense con sisted in furnishing sundry portions ot enthusiasm from a hip-pocket bottle. The learned Court—probably with a knowledge bora of experience—holds it to be a common act of hospitality in Bucks county lor one citizen to call another out in the woodshed on Sunday to sample the contents of his bottle, and re peat. It is also regarded as an incident of common Bucks cunty discourse that said citizens should discuss politics during the interval between the first sample and tho second judgment. Consequently the man with a bottle and a generous dis position is regarded as a personal friend and not an enemy to the public policy. This decision will give comfort to many. It will encourage a giving and forgiving spirit in the man who carries genial spirits in a bottle about election time. It may also encourage a flourishing wholesale trade in pocket size flasks and stimulate the construction of woodsheds. There is one drowback, however, and that is the Court may regard the matter difFerontly out-side of Bucks county. Chiel Justice Sterrett, a product of Alleghany county, dissented from the opinion of the court an indication that in this county two men and a bottle may be regarded as a com bination of uncommon hospitality in a woodshed. — lMftgatch.
