—The enterprising artist in uien's
habiliments, who has conceived the
great plan of getting in line with imper

For every dollar in a man's pocket

—Somebody entered Mrs Pape's resi

ed up the boys' pants and took theui
out on the porch and helped themselves
to pocket books containing a bout thirty

—The building which George White
hill bought on S. Main St. is to be va
cated on Jan. Ist, and will be torn down

Stock's basement.
—The statistics of foot-ball show that
during the past season 11 players were
killed and 07 more or less injuied. The
hunting returns of single States can fur
nish a larger showing of dead sports
men than this. Hunting is clearly the
greater of the two games—greater even
than fighting the Filipinos.
—There is hope for school boys wheth
er they be bright or dull. George
Dewey barely got through the Naval
Academy at the foot of the class, while
Capt. Oberlin Carter passed West Point
with the highest honors ever given to a
cadet, Both achieved distinction, but
in widely different directions. Dewey
is an Admiral and the husband of a
millionairess. Carter succeeded in em -
bezzling about $1,500,000 and is now
undergoing imprisionment in the peni
tentiary.
—lf it were not for harrowing up the
feelings of the "poor farmers" of Craw
ford comity, the ones Mr. Sibley used
to feel so sorry for when he was after
their votes, we would mention that one
farmer in Western Crawford, who by
the way it is unnecessary to note is not
a poor farmer, last week sold a two
year-old steer for over one hundred dol
lars. The farmer is Porter Johnson,
of Harmonsburg, and the steer, weigh
ing over 1700 pounds, was bought for
Christmas beef at six cents a pound live
weight by an Erie butcher.—Conneaut
ville Courier.
—A young man whose home is north
of Indiana passed through this place
the other day on his way from one of
the mill towns along the Kiskiminetns
river. To an inquiry why he did not
stay in mill, he answered; "I'm going
back to the farm. I can save more
money there, and do not have to kill
myself to keep myself. I'm going
home to rest, and husk corn. I've got
enough of working in a mill. The
farm is good enough for me." That
young man's head is level. The farmer
in Pennsylvania, does not have to "kill
himself to keep himself." His work, at
times, is pretty laborious, but he is his
own boss, and rests when he feels like
it. He gets a good living, aud outlives
all other professions —lndiana Times.

A Puzzle.
When first the marriage knot was tied
Betwixt my wife and me,
My age did hers as far exceed
As three times three does three.
But when ten years and half ten years
We man and wife had been
Her age came up as near to mine
As twice four is to sixteen.
Now, tell me Captain Gray, 1 pray.
What were our ages on the wedding
day?

The new Supreme Judges, J. Hay
Brown and S. L. Mestrezat, met at

when Supreme Judges were appointed,
the CMef Justice was specially selected
and commissioned by the Governor, but
when the Judges became elective the
senior commission always made the
holder the chief of the court. Chief
Justice Gibson had been Chief Justice
for many years when he was elected
with four other Judges in 1851. The
five new Judges were required to draw
lots for terms of three, six, nine, twelve
and fifteen years, and the shortest term
to.be regarded as the senior comtnitision.
Judge Black, the youngest member of
the court, drew the short term and be
came the Chief Juscic.

tremely tunny and popular farce com
edy "A Hot Old Time" comes to the

cers and lyric artists make up the per
fect coined}- organization. The grace,
beauty and chic of the performance is
furnished by a bevy of attractive young
girls. In fact, the three acts of "A Hot
Old Time" fairly blaze with vocal and
terpsichorean novelties and unique spec
ialties. The play itself holds the re
cords for containing more laughs than
all other farce comedies combined.
The following brilliant gathering of
celebrities are promised in this uproar
ously funny comedy: The Rays, John
ny and Emma Quevita Vincent, J. Ber
nard Dyllyn, Hayes and liealey, Frank
Lai or, Emma Francis, Thos. C. Leary,

Dvorak on American melodies while in
I this country and is called "From the
New World". It has been played twice
before at Pittsburg Orchestra concerts
and is presented this week at the request
of a number of subscribers. Among
other good things.are 2 numbers for the

<■ mud Opera House Pittsburg
For nest week the management has
selected a bit of foolishness called
"Nerves", which the Lyceum Theatre
stock company presented several years
ago at Daniel Frohman's New York
theatre. ' Nerves" is one of the funni
est farces ever produced, and should
create a roar of laughter during the
Christinas holidays, when everyone is
inclined to mirth. The story of
• 'Nerves" is practically told in the name:
Every character in the play is afflicted
with a nervousness of some sort, and
the situations and laughs are derived
as a result of this. "Nerves" will be giv
en for the first time with the matinee
Christmas day.
Seats for New Year's afternoon and
night are on sale at the bos office at
the Grand. The attraction well be a
revival of "The Amazons."

At Edgewood. on the P. R R east of
Pittsburg, last Thursday, the West
Penn Institute for the Deaf and Duiub
was destroyed by fire. The teachers
marched N» children out of the burn
ing building without one being injured,
and they were cared for by neigh!>oriiig
residents. Four fireman were danger
ously hurt during the fire.
A few days ago a newspaper train on
the Lake Shore road made the run from
Buffalo to Erie, a distance of ss miles,
in SO minutes No stops were made
along the line. Rushing through Dun
kirk, three large packages of newspa
pers were thrown off. Two of these
were drawn under the wheels by the
terrific suction and ground to bits.
The third hit one of the uprights which
support the rooof ufrthe depot platform
and cracked it the oWidle being torn in
two.
The Pittsburg police are now arresting
all tramps found carrying a liottle of
liquid, and a cake of soap. This brand
of tramp is called a "Yaghum" and he
is a safe-cracker. He feels for the crack
separating the doors and carefully ex
amines it from top to bottom. Then,
with the cake of soap, he forms a small
funnel shaped impression on the top of
the safe where the two doors meet and
rapidly passes the soap along the crack
from top to bottom, covering the speace
where the doors join and making the
safe air tight. Then the "Yaghiiin"
pulls out the innocent-looking bottle
and pours the contents into the gutter at
the top. The liquid gradually descends
and commences to ooze out at the bot
tom of the safe. A fuse is then ignited,
and a minute later the doors tly open
and the work has been done. The
bottle always contains nitro-glycerine,
and the soap is but part of the instru
ment of the safe-cracker.
Patrick Bovce. who works at the glue
factory opposite Parnassus, on the other
side of the river, had both of his thumbs
cut off while at work recently. This is
not the least of Mr. Boyce's misfortunes
Three years ago he met with an acci
dent peculiar in the annals of surgery.
Since that time no morsel of food has
entered his month. At noon when the
other men take their meals from a din
ner bucket. Bovce pulls a gum tube from
pocket. He places one end in the buck
et. The other he puts in his side, which
opens through to his stomach. The
surgeons cut it there and it is the only
way by which food can be gotten into
his stomach. When the stomach end
of-the gum pipe is lower than the other
a siphon is formed and the liquid food
flows from the bucket into his stomach.
No solid nourishment can be taken, but
most articles can be prepared in liquid
form and the nourishment thus received
has kept him at work for three years.
Several years ago Boyce fell into a vat
full of boiling glue. He recovered from
the effects of this terrible bath with the
exception of the injury done to his
throat. The lining of it was injured so
much that he cannot swallow. —Kittan-
