Max O'Rell says that people make a great mistake in confounding happiness with pleasure, which are not by any means synonymous. Pleasure is a pass ing sensation which oftener brings en nui and disgust than anything else. "Happiness," says Mr. O'Rell, "is found in congenial work, in a regular and well spent life, in obscurity and retire ment, in sound and true friendship, and especially in the love of a man and a woman who thoroughly appreciate each other." King Edward VII. is likely to pardon Mrs Florence Maybrick, an American woman, who has been in prison in Lon don since IHWD. Mrs. Maybrick was convicted of poison ing her husband. She soaked fly paper in water to get the arsenic out of it and, it is alleged, fed it to her husband. She was at the same time intimate with a man named Brierly.

Manager Buckhalter has just closed a contract for the apjearance in this city Thursday Feb. 26th of "Old Arkan saw," one of the greatrst of scenic at tractions, by Fred Raymond, author of the "Missouri Girl," etc.. It is said to be free from blood and thunder element so prevelent in melo-dramas, the author having studied the tastes of the occu pants of orchestra rhairs as well as the gallery gods, and has succeeded so well that the greatest enthusiasm prevades the entire audience. "Old Arkansaw" is said to bring tbe audience at once in sympathy with the actors, whose high est emotional powers are developed by the lines and action of the play, while i the thrilling scenes and situations with j which the peace abounds keep the au dience in a suspense that is relieved by the high comedy scenes that run through the entire production with rare naturalness. PITTSHUBO ORCHESTRA But three more concerts remain to be given to complete the sixth season of the Pittsburg Orchestra, Victor Herbert Conductor. Unusiial interest attaches to the concerts next Friday evening and Saturday afternoon because cf the per formance of Stanford's "Irish'' sym phony, for the first time in Pittsburg, and because the management has dis covered a real tenor, a tenor of the Tamango type. M. Chas. Gauthier who makes his first appearance in Pittsburg this week, will make a sensation, in Pittsburg. He has a large splendid voice and has the experience of years under the l>est foreign auspices. He has made his debut in America at the New Orleans French Opera two years ago. Grand Opera lloti.se, Pittsburg Comedy of a pronounced type is what "The Masked Ball" might be termed, and in it the Grand Opera House, stock company will 1m- seen the week of Feb ruary 25th. This play, refined, artistic, and funny, was the vehicle in which John Drew first rode to success as a star in the theatrical world. Mr. Drew started out in his first venture in this clever adaptation from the French, by Clyde Fitch, and Mr. Drew has been a particularly bright and whining star ever since. And more, Maud Ad&ms was with hini. and Maud Adams made a hit in "The Masked Ball" that was little short of tremendous. This clever play, that brought these two clever people into prominence, has many merits, but the chief of them is that it is funny beyond description. • No print ed words could beijiu to tell what a com bination of bright lines and funny busi ness it is. Players call it a "busy play" liecause there is so much to do in it. Baby Boy Killed One of the saddest accidents in the history of Middlesex Township was that in which little Lawrence the two i year old baby boy of James Anderson ' of Flick, met his death, Wednesday, Feb. 13. Iler husband being in Butler that day Mrs. Anderson took her two boys, Lawrence aud his brother, a year or I two older, on a visit to Mrs. R. J. An derson nearby, who has a little boy six j years old. While the mothers \ere talking in a front room after dinner the ' the little ones played about the house and were in the kitchen when the acci dent occured. In some way they climb . Ed up and gjt a revolver which was [ kept on a ?lielf or clipboard supposedly | out of children's reach. In play inn with tni> weapon it was discharged and ; the bullet struck Lawrence above the I right eye. went through his head and : loged under the scalp at the back of his I head. Two hours later he died. ILL; | mediately after the accident the boys father and grand-father, County Com missioner Gillespie were summoned by telephone. They arrived just after the little one's death. Lawrence's remains were laid in the Middlesex M. E. church burial ground Friday afternoon. VttIDKXTS.

John Smith of Jefferson twp. who i was blown up, while in his coal mine j on Thorn Creek a few days ago is re- | covering. Dr. Stepp removed the splintered pieces of his sknll and says he is doing nicely. A. remarkable feat ure of the accident was the breaking off of the bone just above the left eye, while the eye itself was but slightly in jured. A rig driven by Frank Purvis was struck by a street car on W . Jefferson St .Wednesday afternoon and the buggy and harness badly used up. A team ran off at the corner of Jeffer son and Main streets, Wednesday even ing and the driver was thrown out aDd quite badly hurt.

Going to the election, Tuesday, cost Joseph Manny of Butler twp. his life. In stepping down from the New Castle road to the election house he slipped and fell heavily, fracturing two of his ribs. He was hauled to Butler and a physician was consulted, and then haul ed back as far as John Leighner's, from where he walked homo: but as soon as he laid down he cried out for those about him to raise him, as he was smothering, and was in intense pain. He began spitting blood, and died, prob ably from hemorrhage, that night. Joseph Sebell, aged 22 years, was kill ed and George Balilauf crippled ior life in a coasting accident at Herman about 7 p ni Saturday evening. The Coylesville road runs eastward past St. Fidelis' Catholic college, tlown a hill into Herman, passes under the West Penn railroad and up a hill east ward of the track. The road was cover ed with a sheet of ice Saturday evening and coasters from the college and sur rounding country were enjoying the sport. They started from the hill in front of the college and the speed at tained in the descent carried them part way up the oposite hill. Here they would turn around and coast down again or else let the sleds slide back ward. A pled load of college boys started from the top of the hill, made the usual run and let their sled start backwards for the bottom. A party of Herman boys had started their sled after them and the sleds reached the bottom from opposite directions about the same time. The railroad bridge overhead prevented them from seeing their danger, and the two sleds crashed together. None were seriously hurt hut Schell and Baldauf. Schell was strack in the abdomen by something and sustained internal injuries which caused his death, after suffering treat pain, about spm Sunday. One of Baldauf's legs was broken in three places. After the accident the yountf men were carried into the college and medical aid was called from Batler.
