It's a peculiar fact that you can nearly always tell a man's nature bv the way he picks up a newspaper.

A large audience enjoyed the pipe organ recital by Prof. Paris Myers in the M. E. church. Thursday evening last.

Miss Beulah Tim blin was rei>eatedly encored by the au dit nee. —There are all kinds of mines in Pennsylvania. The greatest are of course the iron and coal mines, but few people wonld guess that the next ex ] tensive mining industry is the sand mines in Pennsylvania, These mines are rarely underground, however, and many of them are viewed with wonder by passengers on the Pennsylvania rail road approaching Pittsburg Whole mountains are being dug away and the granular rock forming ttiem is being reilnced to sand for the manufacture of glass in and about Pittsbnrg. —"To the whole world at large there is something particularly appealing about the woman in the apron," says a writer. "She nitty not be able to do more in the cnllinary line than to scramble eggs or make taffy, but she suggests possibilities of delight that endears her to everyone who beholds her No poet lias eyer sung of the charm of the apron, no words have been written particularly in its praise, yet it is in its simple lines a very pean of praise to women the world over, emphasizing their vocation and signal izing that peculiar line of work which is theirs solely and wholly because they are women and because they reign over a small but powerful dominion called home." 'People would find less difficulty with ready made shoes,'' said an exper ienced salesman, if they wonlil stand up to fit them on instead of sitting down. Nine persons out of ten, par tieularly women, want a comfortable chair when they are fitting a shoe, ami it is with the greatest difficulty you can get them to stand for a few minutes, even after the shoe is fitted. Then, when they begin walking about, they wonder why the shoes are not so com fortable as they were at first trial A woman's foot is considerably smaller when she sits in a chair than when she walks about. Exercise brings a larger quantity of blood into the feet, and they swell appreciably The muscles also require space. In buying shoes this should be liorne in mind." The Braun-Steelsmith Case. The most sensational trial of any sort ever held in Bntler county was that of Mrs Sadie Brann. by her father and nest friend Amos Steelsmith vs \\ m. Brann. libel in divorce. The case was taken up in our Court before Judge Barker, last Friday morn ing. and the following jnry was select ed Benson Shrnder. ot Butler. J H. Francis and Josiah Adams, of Slippery - rock twp; Elmer Bartley, of Penn twp: J. J. Fiedler, of Harmony. Grant Flem ing, of Buffalo twp. John J. Hesselges ser, of Wintield twp; John Leise, of Cranberry twp John McClain, of Done gal twp: James Robinson, of Conno quenessing twp. Grafton Shorts, of Penn twp: and J H Wasson. of Wash ington twp The history of the trial can best be told by giving a brief history of the joint lives of W. F. and Sadie Braun as it was made public on the witness stand. In 1*94 Sadie Steelsmith. then 19 years old, attended W. F. Brann s dancing academy on Highland Ave., Pittsburg. The two became engaged against their parents wishes, eloped to Michigan and were married there. Later Mr. Steelsmith took Mr. Braun in to the oil business with him and a nice home on West Jefferson street was built for his son-in-law. In ls'.Hi a daughter. Elizabeth, was born to the Brauns. During Mr. Braun s absence in 1897 his wife became too intimate with Elmer C. B'ne, ball player, wrestler and all aronnd sporting man. About Feb. 9, 1898. she and Blue disappeared and a day or two later ner father found his danghter stopping with Nettie Rick man. a sister of Bine, in a house in Chicago. Shortly after this Braun had Bine arrested, at Braeburn. Pa , on a charge of desertion, preferred by Bine's Chicago wife. On trial of this charge he was acquitted. About the first of March, 1898, a reconciliation was effected between the Brauns. and in the presence of his attorneys. Murphy and Forqner. Mr. Braun signed and was sworn to a paper drawn up by Mr. Galbreath, in effect exonorating .lis wife of any misconduct with Blue. The Brauns then went to Pittsburg and 011 April 10, 1898 took a fnrnished house at 5441 Penn Ave. On June 25, 1898 Mr. Braun started a fine drug store at Sixth St.-and DoqnesneWay. Pittsburg. Mrs. Braun helped in the store. On Oct 20, 1898 Mrs. Braun came home with her child, Elizabeth, and shortly after wards filed her libel in divorce. She charged Braun with habitually using obscene, profane and iusulting language to her. with tearing a waist off her. to get a letter, with choking her, with forcing her to take medicines to produce an noortion. and with criminal ly associr-iug with Lillian Hostetter, who lived above the pharmacy, and Alberta Black. About fifty Pittsburg witnesses attended the trial and all these things were s,voru to as being true and not true by the respective sides On January 3, 1899. Mrs. Braun gave birth to twins, and Mr. Braun disclaim ed the paternity of these children He charged his wife with unfaithfulness while living in Pittsburg. On Mondav afternoon a number of witnesses testified that they would not believe Broun. while- others said that his reputation for truth and veracity was good. Tnesday morning J. M. Galbreath presented the law points for the plain tiff and Lev McQuistiou for the defend ant Attorneys Watson and Forquer argued to the jury for the defendant and Thompson for the plaintiff. Judge Barker's charge occupied about an hour and the jury retired shortly after noon. After being out two hours the Court House bell called for court again, the jury came in. and their yerdict was re corded for the plaintiff, granting a divorce. Judge Barker has won the respect and admiration of all the Bntler Bar by his fine professional conduct of this trial. Judge Barker left town Tuesday afternoon on the 2:85 traiu without making the usual decree granting the divorce on payment of costs: and the Brauns will still »e man and wife until that decree is filed. —Teachers' Examinations next, and [hen the 4th of July E.

William Waldorf Astor, according to the New York Journal, is going to abandon his country and become a per manent resident of England. He has a grievance against his native land. He says the Colonists and theirdescendant's are tx> democratic in their ideas. They do not pay sufficient court to wealth. Some of the vulgar decendants of the Colonists think an Astor is just as good as anybody else providing he behaves himself properly, and that appears to be galling to William Waldorf. He traces his ancestry back to the Crusades, and feels that he is entitled to special con sideration because his father was fortu nate enough to get possession of a great er portion of the earth than some other people's fathers. But the average Alll erican is practical and bases the value of men on their usefulness. I >einocratic Primary.
