—ln a recent case Judge Morrison, of
McKean county, took occasion to say:
"It isa mistaken notion that one driving
a horse along the highway can compel
a man on foot to give the whole of the
road or run over hiui A footman has
a right to ample room as well as a
team.
It's a peculiar fact that you can
nearly always tell a man's nature bv
the way he picks up a newspaper. The
sporty man turns to the baseball page,
the serious man to the editorials, but
the thrifty, economical, shrewd money
making man tnrns to the advertise
ments.

—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:

ing, of Buffalo twp. John J. Hesselges

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.

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.
