Reflecting in its widening circulation and increased advertising patronage the prosperity that marks the opening of the new year The Pittsburg Times more than ever impresses upon its read ers the excellence of its high standard and the success of its efforts to make a model paper for the individual and for the family. The Times is a newspaper, sparing no pains nor expense to cover the world thoroughly every day, that its current page of history may be com plete, an<l in its longer range overlook ing nothing that occurs at home. It is clean, dignified and reliable certain that no lack of these features can be made up in offensive sensationalism. It can be taken into the family circle with confidence that its columns are filled with wholesome instruction and entertainment. Wherever known The Times is recognized as the best type of concise, crisp and complete newspaper, and among newspaper men it is the publication with which comparisons of excellence are made. While The Times is Republican in politics it realizes that others have a right to lie on earth, and that politics are not everything. When one cent a day will buy a morning paper it is foolish to be without one. The Times is three dollars a year or six cents a week, and worth the money. Tlic Pittsburg Orchestra.

Jan. 27th and 29th, 1900, for the benefit of the Bntler County General Hospital, admission 75. 50 and 85 cent- This i? for a worthy c»«use and should be well patronized. Of this entertainment the Steuben ville Herald says. "The performance of the Kattir boy choir at the Olympia Saturday evening was an agreeable surprise to all who at tended. It was not only highly enter taining but instructive, and there was probably not a person present whose ideas concerning South Africa and r.s j -..pie were not enlarged and corrected, i'iie singing under the direction of Mr. Balmer was simply wonderful consider ing the raw material with which he had to start. The gem of the evening from a musical point or view was Tennyson's "Sweet and Low," to Barnby's setting, which was rendered with a sweetness and expression seldom fouudin onr best trained home vocalists. The songs were interspersed with explanatory re marks by Mr. Balmer, and the second part opened with a most interesting talk by Miss Elsie Clark, the pianist, who wore a number of native garments and ornaments. Miss Clark is a native of Sonth Africa, and has lived there all her life, so she is well qualified to speak of the country and its people. She cor rected some prevalent impressions con cerning the relative positions to the British and Transvaal Boers, showing that the former really represented free dom and progress in that section, while the latter denied the natives every < right, and oppressed them in every pos | sible manuer. The only drawback to her lecture was its brevity. She should (ill a larger place on the programme." Prisoners Escape. Robert Vance aud John Henry, who were sentenced to jail for 00 days, were given into the custody of Jaiutor Mor gan Tuesday afternoon to do some work about the Court House. When the jam tor wasn't looking they quietly walked away and have not been seen since. No effort was made to recapture them and for all the authorities know : they may still be in Butler. The San .Jacinto Knrthi|iiitk<>. The San Jacinto earthquake, on Christmas morning, was the severest earthquake since that of Fort Tejoti in 1857. There seems to be a remarkable diversity of opinion as to the number of shocks the duration and the direction of the wave: the fact tha* there is no seismograph in or about Riverside Co explaining the lack of definite data I was in Pasadena, and was awakened at four twenty-five. I endeavored to catch the direction of the waves during probably four oi five seconds, then being nrged to leave the room I rose and walked out into the hall and stood a few seconds. I could net distinguish a wave motion. The dishes were hop ping up and down in the butler's pantry below, while every picture in the house was swinging in an altogether uncanny manner. Thinking thai it might be a dangerous earthquake I threw open the window, expecting to hear the crash of stone or brick buildings, but by thai time the shock had ceased. I judged that it lasted nearly half a minute, though this is supposition. Experiences differ materially. A friend not far away stated that he was almost thrown down and noticed three distinct waves, while the sensation cou veyed to me was that the house had l>een seized aud shaken violently. Little or no damage was done in Los Angeles Co., or in San Diego, where a small tidal wave was noticed. The maximum force of the earthquake centered at San Jacinto, about eighty miles from Los Angeles, a thriving little town, with a population of twenty-five hundred, in a ranching district, and a part of River side County. It stands at the foot of a lofty mountain, called Tarquitz by the natives, the Saboba Indians, who have a legend that it always gives warning of an earthquake by a roaring or bellow ing: and these subterranean sounds were heard a week or so previous to the earthquake. In the immediate vicinity are sulphur and hot springs. Prof. Holder in Sci. Am. Sli|i|icr}r<M'k. Wm. Carnahan has purchased J. Mil ler's New Castle hack line and will here after have charge of it.
