The ladies of the Hospital Association have been sadly disappointed by the response, or rather lack of response to their appeal to the fanners of the county issued several weeks ago through all of the local newspapers for contribu tions of farm products for use in the Butler County General Hospital, several bushels of potatoes from one farmer, Robert D. Stevenson, of McClnre sta tion, being the sum total of such aid received up to date. The ladies cannot believe that this result is due to unwil lingness on the part of the people to contribute of their abundance to so worthy a charity, but attribute the fail ure in a prompt response to their appeal to thoughtlessness, procrastination, and perhaps a general impression that where so many are supposed to be able and willing to contribute abundantly, no one's mite would be missed. Under the continued and increasing necessity for assistance in the support of patients not able to render compen sation for their maintenance while re- ceiving treatment, the ladies have de cided to issue another appeal and to name a day, the day before Thanksgiv ing, when they believe the hearts of all will be open to the cry of the needy and suffering, on which they ask that con tributions of provisions be made for use in the hospital. Among articles needed are butter, eggs, potatoes, apples, flour, meal, win ter vegetables and all varieties of farm products of use in a well regulated household. Contributions may be left at the store of J. G. &W. Campbell, either on the day above specified or at any other time that may better suit the convenience of the donor and Mr. Campbell will deliv er them at the hospital free of charge, making a record of the donation in each case.

His brother John was with him at the time, called for help and took him to his home. Physicians and loving hands however could not relieve him; he was conscious and realized his criti cal condition. Forty eight hours after the accident he died from the effect of spraining his spinal chord which caused the paralvsis. The deceased was born in Worth twp. this county; arrived at the age of 38 years 11 months •> days. He received his education at Mt. Pleas ant, Westmoreland county and Lewis burg, Union county, academies of this state, he afterward taught school for 12 years. In April 1887 he was married to Miss Loraina Sitler, eldest daughter of Martin Sitler. with whom they lived at the time of his death. They were bless ed with three children; Clarence.

H. W. B. PARK THEATRE. "Two LITTLE VAGRANTS," MONDAY, MOV. 14. The story hinges npon the efforts «»f a generous hearted woman, Helen, to conceal the infidelity of her sister-in law, Carmen, and in so doing, the inno cent woman brings suspicion upon her self. Helen's husband, suspecting his wife to be the really guilty one, deter mines upon a terrible revenge. He hires a burtrlar, whom he catches in the act of breaking into his house, to abduct the child he believes to be his wife's, but not his own. The second act takes place seven years later. The child now known as Fan Fan, has been reared as a thief by the burglar, Le Renard. This Fan Fan is detected in the act of pick ing his own mother's pocket, (they do not of course know each other) but she refuses to claim the pocketbook and he escapes. Later in the act Fan Fan's father, George D'Armont, appears. He is now anxious to restore Fan Fan to his mother. D'Armont meets Le Ren ard and recognizes him as the man who stole the child. He offers Le Renard thirty thousand francs for the return of the boy. Le Renard promises to pro duce him, but when he attempts to do so he learns that Fan Fan has fled. Determined not to let the money slip from his grasp, Le Renard passes off a nephew of his named Claude, a sickly lad of Fan Fan's age, as D'Armont's boy. In the third act Fan Fan appears at his mother's house and is able so estab lish his identity. Learning that Le Renard has papers that will prove his mother's innocence he visits his foster father's thieves' retreat in Paris, secures the papers and is also the means of res cuing his real father from peril. The scene in this act where he opens the lock on the Seine and throws the villain into the river is not only a taking bit of melodrama but a clever example of the stage carpenter's art. The last scene brings everything to a satisfactory con clusion and" the triumph of virtue over vice. NEXT WEEK IN PITTSBURG.
