And all great men adore. We crown with greenest myrtle. Those worthy of renown. Hence there was much rejoicing. When John L. came to town. —Christmas gifts in all our stores. —Several of our stores are closed to day. —Butler is to have a skating-rink this winter. —Tuesday would pass for a winter s day, anywhere. —Take a look at the address tab on your CITIZEN and see what it says. —A little bag of quicklime put among steel articles will prevent their rusting. —Mice abhor camphor, and will not visit drawers or closets in which it is kept. —Bad little schoolboys are already counting the days until Christmas va cation. —Geo. H. Adams, Butler's old favor ite, at the Park Theatre, this afternoon and evening. —At West Snnbury a handsome new house is nearing completion for Ed ward Young. —Zickrick's new steam-laundry on W. Cunningham St., did its first wash ing and ironing last Thursday. —J. L. Turner, of the Turner mines, at Ferri s, on the Hilliard Branch, needs fifty coil miners, immediately. —A 5-year-old bay horse was stolen from the barn of W. W. Grossman in the rear of N. Main street, Saturday night. —There are a large number of good farms lying idle throughout Butler Co. and all of them would pay if worked rightly. —A convention of legless men is soon to be held in Philadelphia; but nothing is said about a convention of tongue less women. —Monthly reception of the Y. M. C. A. Thanksgiving evening; fine program, basket ball game and general good time promised. —Some mighty hunters from Pitts burg visited W. Snnbury a few days ago and hired some other fellows to shoot them a string of game. —The Ridgeway Concert Co. enter tained a large and appreciative audience last Thursday evening in the Park The- I atre. The next number of the Y. M. C. A. course will be the Ladies Sextette on Dec. 14. Six hundred season tickets have been sold. —The Nashua A. C. Club of Pitts burg will play a foot ball game with the Y. M. C. A. team at the Ball Park, Thaksgiving afternoon. If the weather is at all endurable, a large crowd will attend as is always the case on Thanks giving day. The Nashuas are one of the strongest teams in Pittsburg. —Under the new school law, provid ing for the distribution of the annual appropriation the president and direc tors of each school board are required to make returns under oath to the county superintendent in November of each year, giving the actual number of paid teachers in their respective dis tricts. A failure to make this report is punishable by a forfeiture of one-third of the appropriation. —The new general store building of Wm. Humphrey & Son? at Portersville, erected on the site on the one burned last spring, is undoubtedly one of the finest in the county outside of Butler borough. It is a two-story frame, cost S4OOO, is completely sewered and plumb ed, lighted by gas with improved burn ers, heated and ventilated by furnace, has an elevator running from the cellar to the second floor, is fitted with every mercantile convenience and kept in the neatest order by the enterprising pro pnetors. —C. A. Jewell is having an electric mining machine plant constructed at his coal mines in Butler county. Steam power will run a large dynamo, furn ishing the motive power to two mining machines, which will be used to "bear in" or undermine the coal vein, which will then bs wedged down and loaded in car*:. Each machine will do the work of about thirty men. The mines will soon be in operation with the new machinery, and will have an output of 800 tons per diem.—Grove City Tele phone. —A movement is on foot among the merchants of Mercer, Lawrence and Butler counties to form an association to raise means and employ agents to run down and convict the gang of thieves who have been committing so many burglaries against the country j merchants and farmers. A wiser move than this could not be made and we do not hesitate to say that systematic search and prosecution will have the ef fect of stopping the ontlaws' depreda tions. The same treatment that the no torious Wm. Wilson, with alias, is get ting is what they need, R. McKinney of Plain Grove, Mercer county, is doing the corresponding for the merchants. —New schedule on the narrow-guage. Train for Kane at 9.50 A. M. and for West Clarion at 5:35 P. M. The 8.05 A. M. train in and the 7:10 P. M. train out are off: and the branch to Clarion has been abandoned. West Clarion the station at the intersection of the Shippenville pike will hereafter be the station for Clarion. "The cause of this change is the fact that from the Clarion Junction to the town of Clarion, a dis tance of 7 miles, the road crosses two very high trestles and the bridge over the Clarion river, and the grade is very heavy. The trestles and bridge have been in very bad condition, and in fact were considered dangerous, and they mnst soon have been rebuilt or they could not be used longer The business on this branch did not justify snch an expense and they have now decided to abandon that section. It will proye a great inconvenience to the business in terests and traveling public, and a town the size of Clarion without railroad fa cilities nearer than a mile and a half is an oddity." 'lis in ourselves. a* ftkakespeare says That we are thus, or tlins. Ami no one- without industry Was ever worth a cnss. And eaoii man weaves bis destiny. Of poverty or pelf- A garland fur humanity. Or rope to hang himself. - Hog-killings are in full bla^t —Matinee at the Park Theatre, this afternoon. —The U. P. church lot looks better since being sodded. —The School Board decided not to bny additional ground in the first ward —lf a man has the right stuff in him it is sure to come out. That's what makes some men's noses so red. 4 —The weather prophets predict IS deep snows this winter, and that "tired feeling" is coming over tho man with a long sidewalk. —' Please uivf- me ten stamps. What denomination, my child? I don't know, papa is a Presbyterian maybe that kind would suit."' —Three Butler foot ball teams expect to play today: the Y. M. C. A. at home; the High School at Evans City, and a picked team at Foxbnrg. —Dressed hogs are beginning to con stitnte part of the loads coining in from the rural districts. The town also has a few of its own the year 'round. —The father of a colicky boy "nas one thing for which to be grateful, and thai is that he doesn't live in a country where the nights are six months Ion;?. —The boy who can trade jack-knives and still remain free from sin. is not a youth calculated to make a successful promoter of giant enterprises when he becomes a man. —lt has been announced authorita tively that Spain doesn't want Uncle Sam's "good offices.'' That is all right: most of the good offices already have been disposed of anyway. —The last of the Butler delegation of old soldiers arrived home <*l Saturday from Chattanooga. Thev i*;port an ex cellent time and speak in the most glowing terms of Southern hospitality. They all brought home with them me mentoes —such as bullets, cannon balls, cotton, canes, etc. —Edwin F. Atkins, the economist and statistician, had ar ; artk-Je in the Fornm, lately, protesting against the introduction and extension of Mie beet root industry in this country, for eco nomic and international reasons, but the real reason why the production of beet sugar should not be encouraged is that it is unfit tor uuuian consumption, its continued use will sicken anybody. —As it's now the timo when the bike must be put away f<,r the winter a bint 011 the care ot the machine is, season able. The bicycle should be thorough ly cleaned and then inverted, so as to rest on the handle bar and saddle. Time sooner or later deflates the tires, and the weight of the machine causes the tires to double up on the sides, which is anything but beneficial to th —ln spite of criticisms by the old fo gies, the vertical stylo of handwriting is fast superseding the slanting system. The new style was introduced as an ex periment in the Philadelphia public schools two years ago. Recently the Board of Education, being convinced of its success, voted to supply the schools with a full course of text books in the up-and down script.—Ex. —The lx>ld innovation of the Besse mer in ignoring the bill*, and hollows, and building a straigW line directly across the high flivides, has dissipated all the schemes of the e: asting line 3 to keep out competition. Every natural channel providing an entrance to the city may be monopolize -d, but the enor mous freight traffic, originating here will stimulate enterprig e to build lines which in their geograpb ical and toyo graphical features will "ne completely at variance with time-honored ideas of railroading. Tbe building of the Bes semer was like the crossing of the Alps by Napoleon's army, a stroke of enter prise that b as upset all ancient opinions and left the railroad managers all at sea. —Pittsburg Post* —A great many toys art? now made in thin country, including many me chanical devices. Many toys' are still imported. Such things as wooly sheep and dogs, now as highly prized by chil dren as ever, come from Germany, as do the skin-covered horse. They could be made here, but they can be produ ced cheaper abroad. As a rule, what ever can bo made by machinery is made here, while toys made by band are mostly imported. The minute a thing is brought within the reach of machin ery American manufacturers can pay their higher price for labor and still beat the world. With the low price of labor in foreign countries handmade productions can be made cheaper in them. As a result of this there are some toys partly American and "partly for eign. Among these are toy vehicles with horses attached. The vehicles and everything about them may be the product cf American machinery, while the hors*; standing between the shafts may ba from Germany.

"Agnes Wallace Villa, the emotional actress, began a week's engagement last evening. She is perhaps as familar with the publics of theatres as any ac tress in America Throughout her career she has appealed to the same theatrical taste, and so satisfactory has been her effort that the m"re niinnnnc* meiit of her name is snlri' ieut to fill the largest of theaters in the largest or smallest of towns. This was certainly the case last evening for the pretty theater on Griswold St. was packed to its limit by her admiring and enthusias tic friends. Agnes Wallace N'i'l;: has as ..ladjje Call ton in 'The World Against Iler. " a role that is exactly suited to her.
