Letter t<» Henry liiekcl.
Butler, Pa.
Dear Sir: Yon know how well it pays
to keep vonr carriages painted, both for
looks and to keep out water. It pays
as well to paint your barn and your
house. We put your barn first, because
that is your business your custodiers
gee it.
You see, there are two good reasons
for paint: one is looks: the other is wear.
If you paint for looks, the wear will
take care of itself.
Paint ofteu for looks; aud use good
paint for both looks and wear.
The best paint is Devoe lead and zinc
ground together by machinery: same
proportions as are used by the U. S.
Goverment. It wears twice as long as
lead and oil mixed by hand.
Yours truly.
F. W. DEVOE <& Co.
P. S.—Patterson Bros, sell our paint
in your section.

Grand Opera House—Pittsburg.
One of Hit most important events of
the new theatrical season just beginning
will be the oi<ening of the Grand Opera
House with its new stock company on
Monday, September l}nd. So many
attractive elements have been combined
by Manager Harry Davis for this oc
casion that Pittsburg theatregoers
cannot possibly resist them. First of
all, the house has undergone a thorough
innovation from pit to dome, no expense
being spared iu any quarter, until the
general tout ensemble, as it were, ia a I
feast of color, the whole presenting one
nf the prettiest interiors of any theatre
in this country.
The play for the opening week is
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett's famous .
play, "A lady of Quality." This is the
play in which Julia Arthur qcored the I
hit of her career. When Miss Arthur
presented "A Lady of (Quality" in
Pittsburg |3.00 per seat was the price
paid by the public. The performance
WHS well worth it. Manager Davis is
determined that his production of the
same play will equal in every detail that
achieved by Miss Arthur. It will ex
ceed the best that has yet lwen seen at
the Grand, which is saying much.
A Traveling I'siiJi.
There is no disease quite so peculiar
as rheumatism. The pain which is in
the little finger to day may be in one of
the toes to-morrow. Ana so it travels
all over the system, seeking an outlet,
and finding none it settles permanently
in one place, and from its home other
pains start out, and settle down and
multiply. Dr. Drummoud's Lightning
Remedies for rheumatism attack the
disease from all points at once, and
their work is always successful. If
your druggist has not got these reme
dies, write to the Drummond Medicine
Co., New York, and describe your case.

Double Vision Glasses,
Class comfort depends in a great
measure upon accuracy in frame adjust

vision glasses. A fraction of variation in
the fit of a frame may bring annoyance.
Much of my success in Optics is due to
accurate frame fitting. My double vision
