notorius fact that although France is a
republic, her justice and laws are still
in a mediaeval stage of development
The French neople are very bitter

ing the strikers at. Hazleton last sum

PARK THEATRE.
FRIDAY, FEB. I , "PATENT APPLIED
FOR .''
The genius of that promising young
dramatist, Elmer R. Vance, for 110/ el
scenic and stage effects, shown in such
wonderful devises as in bis fir st effort,
"The Limited Mail," is intensified and
accentuated in his latest aud more ma
tured work 'Patent Applied For,"
which will be seen at Park Theatre,
Feb. 18th. There is said to be an irre
sislablc cliann in the manner in which
the complicated though extremely sim
pie plot is developed and each scene is
thrilling and unique to an astonishing
degree The rescue of a drowning man
from his perilous situation i*T e whirl
pool of raging water is said lo lie VI re 1
istir, so exciting, that the average au
dience fairly holds its breath, while an
other particularly strong bit of stage
mechanism is a terrific storm it
where the whistling of the wind, the
surging of a disabled steamer, and the
deed of heroism fo lowing the scene ap
peals strongly to every lover of the vivid
sensational (though wildly so) drama.
In selecting artists to interpret this
beautiful and romantic play, Manager
Vance has spared no expense, and from
the wonderful Beatrice, who will enact
the exacting role of Inez Hazard a live
ly, up-to date young girl, who visits the
the city, returning to her quiet country
home with a varied assortment of start
ling accomplishments to the bright
young man, who manipulates the I
"props." are exceptionally strong an 1
merit tne econiums so freely bestowed by
press and public.
EIGHT BKM,S, WEDNESDAY, FEU. 23rd
The Bros. Bryne with a su'/.-rior
J company will present the new "1 Bells"
; at the I'ark Theatre, Wednesday, Feb.
f 23« d,.
I If the old adage "Laugh and grow
fat" counts for anything, il will be safe
to predict that anyone who has the
J pleasure to witness this jierforniance,
\ will increase 111 avoirdupois ftoin the
rise of the curtain unto ils final fall, the
spirit of mirth and fun prevails, calling
forth prolonged laughter.
"Kigllt Bells" is a nautical production
constructed on a scale differing in many
ways from the average farce comedy,
and it is refreshing to know that the ar 1
of genuine fun making on the stage,
when pantomine, gymnastics ar.d hu
mor, coupled with novel scenic effects
abound, is not a thing of the past. The
Bros. Bryne of cours-, are a "whole
Show" in themselves. They are assisted
by a capable company who help to make
the play a cm plete success. The re
volving ship scene, end the trick wagon
are features worthy of »)x-cial mention.
NEXT WEEK IN PITTSBURG.
Next week commencing Monday
afternoon. .111 extraordinary list of at

brated plays. li. is safe to say that 110
more interesting or picturesque play

"Esmeralda It contains all the ele
ments stirring dramatic episodes, and

All of the excellent people in the

Fires.

A house on the hill in Duffy town,
~v. Ned by Daniel Kinch and occupied
by John Sntliff, was destroyed by fire
last Friday afternoon. Ihe house was
too far out to be reached by the hose
companies who responded to the alarm
promptly, but the neighliors prevented
the fire from spreading.
The old Richey h-use m Renfrew
was destroyed by fire, Monday morn
: ng The bnilding was owned by Sam
uel Mong, and was occupied by himself
and three other families. The tire 1
started in the kitchen and spread very
rapidly. Mr. Mong carried SI,OOO in
Burance.
Wednesday evening the Simeon Nix
on homestead in Penn twp. was de
stroyed by fire, and Payne Nixon aged
17, was badly burned about the face
and 011 the right hand. The fire was
caused by gas escaping and igniting.
A piano was saved from the house, but
nearly everything • Ist* was lost, includ
ing valuable manuscripts of Mr Nixon.
The loss i-> about slopartly insured.
Payne was brought to the Nixon House
in Butler at 2 o'clock this morning.

Ihe following is sent us from Barker

A fact that all church attendants
know is that the majority of the human
race have not enough to eat and wear
and are in trouble.
Nature demands that the human race
be clothed and fed long before educa
tion begins.
How to shelter the homeless, multi
ply loaves of bread increase the fuel
and heal the wounds of the school tribe
in order to have a sound mind clothed
with a sound body, and then yon nre
ready to edncate are questions that the
Christian directors should endeavor to
solye, instead of using club law and
animal power, to make more homeless,
have more hunger, and instill more
sn ffering.
This truth at this time maystir
out of your head. Just a moment,
think of civil liberty your home rent
asHunder, your property confiscated,
you an exile from your old home and
let that thought sink to the bottom of
your Mill), and surely there you are ra
tioiial enough to decide that nature's
law, and that is God's law, is always
best.

WHY — '
does this store uniformly ask less
prices for choice goods?
BECAUSE
we get more business that way —
make more store friends—more
people save—and we make just
as much as if a less number paid
higher prices.
IVople finds this store's meth
od pays them —results to prove
it- doing more mail order busi
ness now than ever—had to give
that department more space and
int reuse the force in order to ac
commodate the increased busi
ness.
Hut we're not depending on
past records for future results—
goods and prices are to bring
them—and will when styles for
the prices are considered.
W<- want every woman arrang
illj* aily spring sewing to get (
samples of medium to fine new
wash goods S to 35*- «md see if it
isn't so—that this store's goods
