Letter to W. T. Jamison.
Butler Pa.
Dear Sir: Lead and oil is no longer
the paint to be prosperous with.
As eyerybody knows, lead and oil
chalks or powders off in about three
years—three years is its limit.
Painters are putting a little zinc in
their lead to make it tough—it lasts a
good three years with a little zinc.
But painters don't like the job ot mix
ing zinc. Its a tedious job, and, l>oth
being white, nobody knows when the
mixingis thorough. Itgets half mixed;
and the paint goes on, a streak of lead
and a streak of zinc. That is not good
work.
The mistake made is in trying to do
by hand what is better done by machin
ery. Hand-work can't compete with
machine-work.
Devoe lead and zinc is your paint. It
wears twice as long as lead and oil.
Thi3 reduces the cost of keeping a
house well painted to half.
Yours truly.
25 F. W. DEVOE & Co.
P. S.—Patterson Bros, sells our paint
in your section.

And care shall fly as a feather.

An Exposition Booklet
Here comes another of the beautiful
booklets from the Bureau of Publicity
of the Pan-American Exposition, Buf
falo, N. Y. It consists of 16 pages and
a cover of light green. The unique
feature of it is the minature reproduc
tion of the famous poster, "The Spirit
of Niagara," which has had a most re
markable demand. The envelope in
which the poster booklet is mailed also
bears a reproduction of this artistic
work. The booklet is a popular picture
book, the first page having an engrav
ing of the magnificent Electric Tower,
which is 391 feet high, and which will
form the glorious centre-piece of the
great Exposition. On the same page
is a minature of one of the torch bearers
which will adorn the wings of the Elec
tric Tower and beside it a picture of
Niagara Falls The second page shows
a picture of the Electricity Building
and five other small illustrations of the
uses of electricity. The third page
shows the splendid group of buildings
erected by the Naticnal Government
and which will contain the Govern
ments exhibits, also five minature illus
trations, one of them showing the life
saving station, where exhibitions will
be given daily, by a picked crew of ten
men, during the Exposition. The
fourth page is devoted to the wonderful
displays of government ordnance, the
fifth the Machinery and Transportation
Building and four other illustrations of
modern machines and vehicles. The
centre of the booklet shows a birdseye
view of the Exposition, and gives one
some idea of the great extent of the
enterprise upon which about $10,000,000
is being expended.

CHURCH NOTES.
Years have gone by since the sugges

might enlarge their audiences through
the use of such a system of telephones
that their irrefutable arguments and
burning words might be carried over the
wires to many halls and homes at the
same time. Now comes a delightful
tale from a Michigan town, in which a
smallpox quarantine has cut down the
attendance upon church services to
scanty gatherings. This consolat >ry
anecdote avers that the central tele
phone exchange of the town made up a
; circuit at the usual church hour, and
over the wires hymns. Scripture lessons
and sermons fifteen minutes in length
were transmitted to pions listeners.

PARK THEATRE.
HELLO BILL.—MARCH 7.
Imagine a man just about to lead to
the altar the woman of his heart, flushed
with the joy natural to husbands elect,
being informed the minions of the law
are lying in wait to conduct him to
prison for sixty days for being a patron
of a gambling house, and a faint idea
may be had of the plight in which
William Fuller, the leading character
in William Maxwell Goodhue's furious
ly funny farce "Hello Bill" finds him
self.
Hello Bill will be presented at
the Park Theatre March 7 and from
what has been said in other cities con
cerning the production, local theatre
goers are assured of the comedy hit of
the season. The cast is an excellent
one.
VANITY FAIR.—MARCH i)th.
Matinee and Night.
Miss Gertrude Coghlan. whose suc
cessful portrayal of Thackeray's great
character "Becky Sharp ' in "Vanity
Fair" has proven one of the theatrical
surprises of the season, will bring her
big production to the Park Theatre
March 9. Matinee and night.
Miss Coghlan's success in this char
acter is unquestionable. She has al
ways been considered a young actress
of rare ability, but when it was an
nounced some months ago that she was
to begin her starring career in the dra
matization of Thackeray's masterpiece,
it caused all sorts of comment in the
theatrical world and her friends feared,
lest she should make a failure. It was
a Ijold attempt and the plucky little
woman, who by the way, is scarcely out
of her teens, deserves all the credit and
benefit that she is now receiving.
STOCK Co.— NEXT WEEK.
No manager in the amusement pro
fession today has done more to lift the
popular-priced end of the profession
from the slough of contempt and oppro
brium into which it had been sunk
through the efforts of irresjionsible man
agers and incompetent actors, to the
present plane of permanence and re
spectability which it occupies, than John
A. Himmelein, whose Imperial Stock
company opens a week's engagement at
the Park theatre next Monday. Like
all great works which have achieved
prominence the secret is simple—he
gives his patrons the best possible
amusement for the very least possible
price He always keeps faith with his
patrons. Ladies tickets will be issued
for Monday night.
Grand Opera House, I'ittsburg
The magnificent stock company at
the G/and Opera House, Pittsburg, is
preparing a production of Franklin
Fyles' great war drama. "Cumberland
'til" for next week. This play is a
faithful picture of the war struggles be
tween North and South, which we are
now so willing to forget the hatred of.
while we treasure like precious jewels
the memories of the brave deeds of gal
lant men and the patient heroism of
fair women on both sides of the border
line. Franklin Fyles is one of the best
known dramatic eritics of this countrv.
This week is one of the biggest in the
history of the house. The magnificent
presentation of that greatest of romatic
plays, "Under the Red Robe" is draw'
iug enthusiastic crowds to every per
formance.
PITTSBURG ORCHESTRA
What will go on record as the most
brilliant Orchestra season in Pittsburg
comes to a close Friday evening, March
yth, and Saturday afternoon, March9th.
; These two concerts complete Mr. Victor
Herbert's third season as Conductor of
the Pittsburg Orchestra. The Orches
tra is now admitted to be in the front
rank of similar organizations in this
country and as evidence of Mr.
Herbert's appreciation in Pittsburg he
last week received a three week's con
tract from the Orchestra Commmittee
whose names are well known in the
Uuited States, namely W. N. Frew,
Chairman of the Board of Trustees of
Carnegie Library H. C. Frick, Wm.
McConway and Reuben Miller.
The program of the closing concerts
will be made up of Wagner music
principally, several selections for the
first time in Pittsburg. Beethoven's
seventh symphony will also be played
and Weber's "Jubilee" overture.

THE KNIGHTS OF OLD
The On* foe They Feared.
The Knights as a rule feared "DO foe
in shining armor." In the fights they
indulged in it was give and take, and as
a rule the best mau won. But there was
one foe who ever haunted the damp and
draughty castles of the Knights, one of
whom they stood ia abject fear, and that
foe was rheumatism. Rheumatism in the
shoulder and no more swinging of the
sword. Rheumatism in the legs and no
more striding of the war charger. Un
happy were the servants of the Knight
who was kept at home by stiffened limbs
and aching bones When great thing*
were toward. Every friend became bit
enemy as he looked at the good sword
on the wall and vainly tried to raiae the
impotent arm.
Word* it haa been 6aid are fossil his
tory. The Roman naturalists christened
the" leopard leopardtts t>ecau»e they sup
posed the spotted creature was the joint
offspring of lion and tiger. So the name
leopard, embalms ancient ignorance and
preserves it like a fly in amber.
It is the same with the word rheuma
tism. Its name implies that it was sup
posed to be a sort of rheum, a catarrhal
affection, such as results from a cold.
And while the treatment for rheumatism
was based on that theory it was small
wonder that cures Were infrequent. To
day we locate the cause of rheumatism
in the blood and w« drive it out scien
tifically by the use of Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
TUK MODERN TREATMENT.
" Quite a number of years ago, when I
was a girl at home, my father was pros
trated upon a bed of sickness," writes
Sirs. P. M. Wheeler, of No. 2 Ann Place,
Bradford, Penns. "He had rheumatism
and a complication of troubles which
baffled the skill of three of our best
pbvsicians All through the winter
mouths he lay upon his bed, suffering
severely at times with rheumatism in his
limbs. While in this condition a pam
phlet containing a description of Dr.
Pierce's remedies fell into nis hands. I
remember of his sitting up in bed and
reading it through and then exclaiming,
'That medicine is just what I need!'
Just then a neighbor came along who
was going to town and we sent for a
bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. We laid aside the doctor's
medicines and commenced jriving my
father the ' Golden Medical Discovery,*
according to directions. The first three
days he felt worse, as is often the case.
After that he commenced to gain. His
physician was surprised at the change in
his condition and candidly admitted that
the 'Golden Medical Discovery* was
doing more for him than ht had been
able to do. In less than two weeks my
father was up with hi* clothe* en. He
continued taking the medicine tad in a
short time was well, and ever afterward
was loud in his praises of l)r. Pierce'i
Golden Medical Discovery as h* told of
the wonderful cure it performed In hit
case."
When the cause of rheumatism it
located in the blood it is at once evident
that the one thing to do is to purge the
blood of the acids and p«isons which
breed and feed the disease. In all com
mon forms of blood disease, Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery may be used
with absolute confidence in the result.
It cures scrofula, salt-rheum, tetter,
eczema, pimples, boila, ulcers, sores ana
eruptions of all kinds which are caused
by the corrupt condition of the blood.
It it the
BKST BESOM FOR TBS BLOOD
because it absolutely drives out and
eliminate* the poisons
which cause disease.
"In the (all of 1893 my
ankle began to pain me,
writes Sirs. C. £. Bright,
of Tunnel City, Monroe
Co., Wis. "Not a steady
pain, but it grew worse
fast and soon became a
running sore. It made
me very lame. When I
sat down had to rest it on
a stool, as I could not
endure the pain when it
was on the floor. The
doctor gave me something
to heal it, but it would
break out worse than ever
in a short time. That
was the way I suffered fof
five years. I was so nerv.
ous hardly knew what I
was doing sometimes.
Oot so I could not dp
the work for myself and
husband. In the fall of
1898 I commenced to take
Doctor Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and
' Pleasant Pellets. My
ankle soon healed and
my nerve# grew strong.
I have not had any return of the trouble
since, and now I often walk over a mile
and feel no bad effects. I am very
thankful for my recovery. Formerly I
was seldom able to ride even."
"Golden Medical Discovery" not only
purifies the blood but it increases it in
quantity and enriches it in quality. The
proof of this is found in the fact that
the vitality of every organ of the body
is increased by the use of the Discov
ery." The liver is made active, the
kidneys throw off disease, the heart is
strengthened, the lungs are healed, and
the body gaining in flesh and increasing
in weight records this gain of vitality in
pounds and ounces of sound, solid flesh.
BEOIN RIGHT AND BEGIN RIGHT NOW.
If you are suffering from rheumatism
or any other form of Dlood poison, begin
right by using the powerful blood puri
fier, " Golden Medical Discovery." And
begin right now. Don't put it off.
Dday is the friend of disease. Every
day of delay means a longer struggle
when the battle begins. Drive the cor
rupt causes of disease from the blood.
Be rid fortver of scrofula. Wash the
pimples from the skin, heal the defiling
sores, and bring back the flesh tints and*
contours of youth. "Golden Medical
Discovery" does all this and more, on
the testimony of thousands of self
respecting men and women.
There is no alcohol in " Golden Med
ical Discovery" and it is free from
opium, cocaine and all other narcotics.
Accept no substitute for Dr. Piercers
Golden Medical Discovery. There is
nothing "just as good" for purifying
the blood.
