A LITTLE TALK.
;
The season has been a backward one on account ol
the wet weather, yet our business has been greater
than ever —
WHY IS THIS?
It is easily accounted for, our theory has always been
that if peop?c are treated fairly and honestly the) ili
appreciate ft—and for fiftee i years we have pursued
this policy—
Hever Misrepresent, nor try to get Rich off one Customer,
And people have found this out and prefer to de.ii
where they know they get the worth of their money —
Neighbor!
The question to ask yourself .then you think o? buying
. a buggy or harness is—does the dealer know what he
is selling—will he sell an article for just what it is and
at the lowest possible price, also is his knowledge of
the business sufficient that I may rely on it. Then
patronize such a firm—if after al. these years our repu
tation is not such as to meet al! these exactions
your mind, then go elsewhere —bear in mind that bug
gies are cheaper now than ever in the history* of our
country, and the season is here when you need one.
CALL AND SEE US.
And see if we cannot save you money—it not do not
deal, certainly this is fair. We never had as fine a
stock of buggies, surries and harness as we have nov.',
and remember we are the largest Wholesale and Re
tail House in our line in the state. Thanking you
for past favors we remain

THE CITIZMNT
A Cholera Story.
Here is a story from the New York
Sun.
•'A generation or so ago the arrival of
a railroad train at mral stations was a
thing of ninch greater rarity than it is
today." said a Pennsylvania Railroad
employee, and it was invariably greet
ed by the gathering at the station of al
ino-t the entire j>opnlation One xnorn.
ing in the - unmer of 1852 I was one of
a group of thirty nine just such enrious
folk- mostly men, bnt there were three
or fonr women, who were gathered at
the railr ad station at Columbia. Pa..
awaiting the coming of the immigrant
tiain from Philadelphia. which
was due at OA. M The train came in
- n-ual and three weeks from that
[ lay every one of tliat group of thirtv
| u jne persons was dead and buried, ex
cept myself The conductor of the
train helj>ed from it at Columbia a wo
man with two small children The wo
man wa.- ■. German immigrant, and
both she and her children had been
taken very ill on the train, and the con
dnctor had deemed it t-est to leave her
fit Columbiaformedical treatment Tel
egraphic communication was not estal
lished there with the outside world, and
daily newspapers were a rarity. Chole
ra had been raging at the .-•• abord citi» -
but the extent of the calamity or its
possible spread through the country
was not appreciated in the rural dir
tricts The suffering woman was help
ed by sympathetic hand?, to a small
frame building near by and -onie one
ran for a doctor. It was some time be
fore the doctor came and in the interval
every one in that crowd had come in
contact with the suffering immigrant?
in effort* to help their intense suffering.
The doctor arrived at last, but the
mother of the children had become
worse so rapidly that -be was in the
throes of death. The doctor hail nc
sooner seen her face than he turnetl
frantically to the crowd, exclaimed
• 'Cholera' My God' Cholera!'
'lnstantly we fled. I remember that
I found iny»elf hiding behind a pile of
lumber a long way from the station
I war. in those days a clerk in a store at
Columbia. I was only a young chap,
but I had sens.- enough to say to myself
that if I was doomed to get cholera it
would be just as well for me to remain
in Columbia as to go elsewhere and so
I stayed. But when the awful news
spread—the two children of the German
woman having died not long after she
died—the people began leaving Colum
bia pellmell to escape the dreaded conse
quences of that accidental infection.
This frantic exodus lasted but a day,
however, for the people of the outlying
country placed on the people of Colnui
bia was perhaps the most effective
quarantine that was ever placed on any
people in this or any other country.
They stationed cordons of armed guards
all about Columbia, with instructions
to shoot down any person who attempt
ed to pass from that infected town to
neighboring towns. Before this had
been done, though, many of Columbia s
residents had He<l to York, Harrisburg.
and other towns and as the result prov

Within three days after the death of
the German woman and her children
cholera bad possession of the town. It
was the custom then in Pennsylvania
rural towns when a jierson died, for
the sexton of some church to toll the
Ixll a stroke for each year that the <le
ceased had lived, and the cholera
epidemic was soon such in Columbia
that the tolling of the church l»ells b.
carne continuous The deaths were so
numerous that fur three weeks, day or
night, then wa« riot a ininnto when
tlx- church l>ell were not tolling. Some
one had early in thin awfol

air that the result would !«• the staying

Fraternal Orders.
There are 7.350,000 members of frater
nal and benevolent orders in the United j
States, and when it is considered that
at the last Presidental election, after a
campaign of great vigor and intensity,
the total vote cast in all the Suites of
the country was 14.000,000. it is to be
seen that these orders, admission to
which is usually limited to citizens and
practically restricted to those in good
health and capable under the law of en j
tering into contracts, constitute a very
imporant portion of the population of
the country.
There are now nearly 1,000.000 Free
niaosns in the I'nited States, more than
800,000 Odd Fellows, and fully 500.000.
members of that extensive organization
the Kniarht- <>f Pythias. The develop
ment of fraternal organizations has been
greatly stimulated of late by the exten
sion of a system of "sick benefits" or
weekly payments to indigent meuif>ers
during illness and by the application of
inprovements in life insurance. In this
way the insurance business of these
societies has been vastly increased, and
the payment of endowments and guar
antees made prompt and certain, which
was not always the rule with some com
panies in the early of the devel
opment of life insurance
Still another reason for the increase of
these order-- is the fact that profiting
by the experience of other times, their
leaders have sedulously kept them ' out
of politics," »nd away from conflicts J
arising from politics or religion. They
have been run on a strictly business
principle, with the general aim of enabl
ing thrifty members to be of financial
service to each other. The Ancient Or
der of Foresters, for instance, which two
years ago celebrated the one hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of its establish
ment, bad a fund of 128,000.000, and
the Ancient Order of United Workmen
which has a membership in excess of
350,000. disbursed last year more than
$7,000,000 without curtailment, of its
credit.
Among the Jewish orders of the
I'nited States there has been a large in
crease both in number and membership,
and this was shown at the convention
of the Free Sons, or the Free Sons of
Israel, as they are more technically call
ed, at the Auditorium in Chicago. This
Jewish benevolent order, established in
1840 holds a convention each fifth year
for the election of officers, and, as ap
pears from the report of the Grand
Master, Mr. Harburger, the order has
now 102 lodges, distributed throughout
those States in which the Jewish Amer
ican imputation is larger, and it has dis
bursed in all the sum of and
has now a surplus fund of $1,000,000
in addition. As a guarantee for honest
administration of so vast a fund it is
suggested that hereafter their custod
iansj "shall be required to furnish bonds
of indemnity for the faithful discharge
of their duty by some duly incorporated
arid responsible surety company," to be
selected by the Executive Committee,
and the cost of such bond to be defray
ed by the order.

WHISKEY. 0
It is wonderful how much good n Uttlc whiskey
does the system. How often are we worn out,
listless and dispirited finding fault with every
thing and everybody, and not knowing the rea
son why—Try some
Silver Age Rye Whisky atfe
as a tonic, and you will wonder at its immediate
effect. It helps to rebuild wasted tissues, re
store circulation anil stimulate nature.
What is Silver Age Rye?
It is a whiskey made famous for its purity and
medicinal qualities—Doctors use and prescribe,
Hospitals are never without it and every house
hold in the land should keep a l>ottlc—
It is Sold by Druggists atfe
And first class dealers at f 1.50 jx-r full quart, or
will l>e shipped to your address on receipt of this
amount. It there is anything wanted in good
liquors of any description, we have it at lowest
prices.
