prove troublesome. If it does, call a

Perry, Lewis Monnie, W. H. Perry, H.
R. Mook and Warren E. King. The
recruiting office here closes Saturday
and Corporals Bradley and
Walters will go to Du Bois and open a
Recruiting office there.
—A oouple of youths, having seen an
illustration in Puck showing how some
mischevons boys had fooled a Dutch
man tvith a hot brick, tried it on a Chi
nese laundryman. Placing the hot brick
on his door sill they pounded on the
door, made some aggrivating remarks,
and then started to run away. Sam
rushed out. attempted to grab up the
brick to throw at them, and dropped it
again with great promptness, exclaim
ing; "Dainle Melican kids!"
The calendar presents some curious
facts. No century can begin on Wed
nesdav, Friday or Saturday. The same
calendars can be used eyery twenty
years. October always begins on the
same day of the week as January, April
as July, September as December. Feb
ruary, Maroh and November begin on
the sjiuie days. May, June and Aug
ust always begin on different days from
each other and every other month in
the year. The first and last days of the
year are always the same. These rules
do not applv to leap year, when com
parison is made between days before
and aft»r Feoruary 29.
—"lt is very rare that a witness in
court, when being questioned abont the
ilistuiice between two given pointe,
fails to say; I don't know: I never
measured it." The witness seems to
think it is a smart thing to say, and the
attorney is therefore compelled to con
tinue his interrogatories, in this way:
'Abont how far would yon say?" A. "I
don't know." Q. "Is it fifty feet." A.
"Oh. no! it isn't over twenty feet. ' Q.
Then you think it is about twenty
feet?" A. "Yes, sir." According to a
careful calculation of an observant
attorney, fort}-seven witnesses out of
fifty will get off that chestnut, ' I neyer
measured it" and imagine they are say
something that fairly sparkles with
original wit. —Ex.

• vote, an nnosnally large one for a Spring election. While the result :s very much
mixed, the town proved itself beyond a dcubt to IK- Republican, electing thiee
Republican Auditors and a High Constable, the Democrats electing the Overseer
of the Poor. Party lines were smashed to smithereens en the ward tickets as is
* evidenced by the results in all but the First. The hardest fight was for Council
in the Third ward where the Republicans have a Democratic majority of about
■ thirty to overcome. Reed and Hazlett also furnished a lively fight for Council in
the Fifth, and Mathers and Kelly for Constable in the Fourth.
The political complexions of the Town Council and School Board are not
changed, the Council standing twelve Democrats and three Republicans, and the
School Board eight Republicans and seven Democrats. The following is the vote

GRAND OPEBA HOUSE, PITTSBURG.
Next week, beginning Monday, Feb,
27th., will see the greatest production
at the Grand Opera House that has
beeu there this season. It will be that
of Bronson Howard's "Aristocracy,''
and it is intended to be something that
will go down in theatrical annals as an
extraordinary effort crowned with tri
umph. "Aristocracy" is a great soci
ety play, that satirizes keenly and deli
cately the foibles of fashionable people
on both sides of the Atlantic. When it
was fiist produced, society held its
breath in amazement that a dramatist
could be so audacious. He showed
that gills are sold in the marriage mar
ket as uncomprisingly as art beautiful
Circassian slayes in the bazars of the
Orient. He handled other features of
aristocratic life in the same free and
effectiye way. and consequently every
one went to see the play The full
strength of the Grand Company will be
enlisted in the cast. The scenery will
comprise three magnificent sets, all in
teriors. The first, a California mil
lionaire's residence in cream and gold;
the second, a baronial hall in massive
Oak, and the third a ball room on Fifth
Avenue, New York,, in green and gold.
In each of these scenes the furniture
will match, and will be of the most e*
pensive and aristic description. The
vaudeville at the Grand will be
very strong next week. It will in
clude The Paijtzer Brothers, wonder
ful head balancers, acrobats, and musi
cians; tiertie Cochran, the nipntal
marvel of the country: Rauiza and Ar
no, eccentric acrobatic comedians;
Keno and welch, in a burlesque trapeze
act and other gymnastic eccentricities;
William Rowe ; pedestal clog dancer;
the old favorite. ('lj;;rles Diamond,
with his harp, assisted by Miss Bea
trice, soprano Saxaphone soloist, and
many others. The ladies in "Aristo
cracy" will wear costumes that will
excite the admiration and wonder of
every woman who sees them.

Judge J. F. Slagle, of Allegheny, has
filed an opinion that is of ninch interest
to sehrtol teachers, in that he rules that
school boards have the right to conduct
institutes and cojspel teachers to attend
them. T C. Jones, an Allegheny
teacher, refused to attend the monthly
local institute held on Saturdays and
was dismissed by the board because of
his non-attendance. lie instituted suit
for *l,lO. which he claims he would
have earned had he been permitted to
teach the remainder of the' teiu; The
jury was instructed to lind for the
school board.
In IBH3 an independent school district
was created insisting of Harrisville
borough and part of Mercer township
adjoining. On a stated case foi' the
opinion of the court it was decided that
voters of the Independent School Dis
trict residing outside the borough limits
and in Mercer twp. can vote for school
directors of the independent district
only, and not for those on tl;e township
ticket. This applies to all similar dis
tricts. The court suggested that the
election board of Mercer twp. paste- a
slip of white paper over the names of
the candidates for school director on the
ballJts which they give to those voters
of the township who reside in the inde
pendent school district and who win
vote for all township officers except
school director.
The Supreme court, in an opinion by
Justice Dean, reversed the judgement of
the Court of Common Pleas of Butler
county in the case of James T. and Al
bert Hamilton against the Pittsburg.
Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad com
pany and awarded a venire facias de
novo. The railroad company appropri
ated a portion of the plaintiffs' land in
the borough of Butler for the construc
tion of its road-bed. The plaintiffs
claimed that their property as a whole
had been largely depreciated in the mar
ket value by the construction of the
railroad, and viewers assessed their
damages at if 17,831. From this the rail
road company appealed and a jury in
the Common Pleas court awarded the
plaintiffs $18,625 as damages.
Justice Dean says this verdict was
against the weight of the evidence and
says the court below erred in refusing
to strike out certain testimony which
should not have gone before the jury.
For this reason judgement was revers
ed.

with wooded islands, grottoes and lily
ponds. All the islands will be easily ac
cessible and there will be numerous
romatic walks and shady retreats.
There will be no boats on the new lake
as on lakes Boquet and St. Clair- The
thousands who visited Idlewild last
year will be gratified to learn that there
will be many pleasant surprises and
new attractions awaiting them the com
