As the time for the Republican Pri

changed: and as several announcements
have already been left with us. we give
notice that we will start the announce
ment list Feb. 6th, and that all fees
will be payable in advance.
We had intended beginning the an
nouncements next week, but as that
would make the canvass too long, have
concluded to postpone for a month.

Senator Sewell of New Jersey.

—Panama and Nicaraugua; while the
Senate, that day, discussed the reciproc
ity treaties with France and some of
the South American States.

POLITICAL.
The contest between Hanna and For
aker for the control of the Ohio Legis
lature ended last Saturday in a draw.
Hanna, with the aid of Daugherty, won
in the House, and Foraker, with the aid
of Cox, won in the Senate.
So far as legislation goes it is a drawn
battle, but the contest indicated the
weakening of both Senators, and an in
crease in the number of independents.
State Treasurer-elect Harris' suit for
libel against the editor of the Bellefonte
Watchman will be tried in Clearfield in
February, and as quite'a number of the
prominent figures of the late Legisla
ture haye been subpoenaed as witnesses
the case may prove interesting to the
whole state.
Bridges Versus Tunnels.
The decision of the Pennsylvania
Railroad to connect its lines in New
Jersey and Long Island with one an
other and with New York by tunnels
rather than by bridges was natural,
and, we had almost said, inevitable
There is to-day a growing tendency in
all the great centers of population to
place the means of transportation under
ground, and this for the very good rea
son that there is no further room for
them above ground. In an earlier day
it was customary to build rapid transit
systems, and the approaches of trunk
railroads in the great cities, on elevated
structures; but the growing congestion
of street traffic, vehicular and pedestrian
has brought us to a time when the piera
and arches of steel or stone viaducts are
no longer a permissible obstruction, to ;
say nothing of objections on the score
of the obtrusive ugliness of such struct
ures, Hence we have been driven below
ground, and the tunnel, thanks to
electric lighting and traction, has proved
to be a cleanly and comfortable substi
tute for the over head structure.
To the engineer, and indeed, to all of
. ns who are attracted by engineering
works of great daring and magnitude, it,
will be something of a disappointment
that fche proposed Hudson river bridge,
with its vast 3,000-foot span and its
towers reaching five hundred feet into
the air, will not be built; but now that
a great railroad company like the Penn
sylvania has openly dec', ired in favor of
tunnels as the best method of serving
New York with due regard to its own
interest and the convenience of the city
itself, we may take it for granted that
the Hudson River bridge will never be
built. —Sci. Amr.

A New Year's Motto.
I.
Thoughtfully taking the best,
Brayely forsaking the rest,
Tho' heart be aching- the nest
Is flown;
No moan.
Tho' alone.
Must be uttered to weaken me now.
I must grow ever;
Using each lever
For progress; never
Dare cry
"Let me die."
For I spy
Just, before me my hand on the
plough
11.
For ill past tearless; no weeping;
For future fearless; no sleeping:
Be like the peerless One, keeping
His life in view.
Ever pursue
Only the true
Holy, love that He died to give.
For through the hour
When death-clouds lower.
Yea, then, Thy power
Will be mystay.
But for to-day
I need but pray
For the grace Thou hast promised—
to live.

The pastor of the White Oak Springs

churches wishes to acknowledge the re
ceipt of the following New Year's gifts.
From the session of White Oak Springs
an elegant plußh-lined fur robe and
from the congregation of Brownsdale a
splendid leather and oak rocking chair
These are but a few of the many favors
received from these good people and are
precious not only on account of their m
trinsic worth, but much more because
of the spirit which prompted their be
stowal. W. J. Grimes.
The collections lifted in the churches
for the Parker aud Edwards families
are as follows: First English Lutheran,
42125; St. Mark's German Lutheran,
$25 28; North Street Reformed, $3; First
Baptist, 13.35; Episcopal. $7.50; Grace
Lutheran, $5.60; St Peter's German
Catholic, $17.51; Methodist, *10.33:
United Presbyterian, $30.09. Total—
sl2B 81. The amounts would have
been much larger but all of the churches
had one other and some of them two
other extra collections that day. The
general fund now amounts to about
$1 600. The heaviest contributor was
the National Transit Company. S3OO.
T W Phillips. J. V. Ritts, I. G. Smith
and tiie Butler County National Bank

The congregational Christinas dinner
given on Christmas day by the L nited
Presbyterian congregation of White
Oak Springs was an unqualified success
Although the threatening character of
the weather, sickness in several homes
and other reasons prevented some of the
members of the congregation from be
inj? present, a large number assembled
at the church on Christmas morning,
prepared to enjoy a day of social enjoy
inent and social fellowship. Tables had
been arranged in the church and these
were soon groaning under one of the
most bounteous feasts ever enjoyed in
Butler county t The ladies of the con
gregation, who so ably contributed to
this part of the day's enjoyment, cer
tainly gave abundant evidence of their
skill in cookery. The extent to which
their efforts were appreciated was well
illuftrated bv the rapid disappearance
of the viands. Dyspepsia, indigestion
and all kindred ills were for the time
forgotten and the meal was enjoyed by
every one to the very fullest extent
Dinuer over, the remainder of the day
was given up to social enjoyment. A
short but yery excellent musical and
literary program was rendered during
the afternoon, followed by a liberal
treat to the scholars of the Sunday
school, and finally as the shades of even
ing began to appear, all departed for
home, agreeing without a dissenting
voice that they had spent a happy
Christmas indeed.

James P. Covert, of Evans City,
mysteriously disappeared on New \ ear a
evening. At first it was thought that
he might have gone to some of his rel
atives but inquiry proved that he had
not, whereupon a search party was
organized, and on Snnday morning his
body was found in the creek under the
ice, where it had no doubt been lying
since the evening of his disappearance

The well owned by Guffey and Gailey
located on the Pieor heirs was drilled in
on Friday and will be shot this week.
Enough sand of good quality and sufli
ceint oil was found to justify the pre

in that vicinity. Two wells 011 the
Jacob Piaor heirs farm will be in this
week.

There's hope in every bud that blows.
In every flower that grows,
Is fixed in nature's sweet repose,
And painted on the rose.
In youth there's hope for years to come,
Which cheers us on our way,
Of which we drink, as time goes by,
1 In every coming day.
Hope wreathes a earland for each brow
1 And paints it lily fair;
Bedecks our path, as on we go,
And smiles at every care.
| Hope buoys the spirits, like a float,
Above despondent fear,
Writes visions fair, in ecstacy,
Erases every tear.
There yet is hope, a lonely star,
■ Oh. may it e'er be thine,
j And that you may enshrine these lines
Is hoped—a hope of mine.
I Hope triumphs through this vale of
tears,
I And points to realms above;
•! Illumes the path to endless years.
Where angels sing in love.

"If you want some nice flowers,"
paid the man with the red mustache,
"just go to church on Sundays, and
you'll find them on tlie altars. No
matter how hard up a church may be
and how closely it may count its ex
penses in other directions, it seldom
economizes iu flowers.
"It is not the big churches aloue that
scorn to stint themselves in flowers.
The little chapels whose parishioners
are certainly not rolling in wealth,
and wliere every penny is held at its
par value likewise provide a splendid
floral offering to gladden the eyes of ,
pastor and congregation. Of course, ;
in a good many less pretentious houses
of worship beautiful effects are ob
tained from the artistic arrangement
of rather plebeian blossoms, but in most,
churches flowers that are really fine i
and expensive are used the year round, J
and the flower committee often tluds j
that altar decoration is the biggest
item on its list of expenditures.
"The selection of pulpit flowers is
generally left to the discretion of the
florist, who sends the bouquet every
Sunday morning shortly before service.
Occasionally, however, the chairman
of the flower committee gives hiui a tip
as to the favorite flower of the pastor,
and when making his selection he
tactfully bears that preference in
mind."—New York Times.
Hot Sprinß*.
The government reservation at Hot
Springs consists of 2.OUU acres, embrac
ing a!! that pert of the city east of the
creek and including the mountain from
which the hot water comes. L'ncle
Sam not only owns all the hot springs,
of which there are seventy-two, but he
regulates their use. There are twenty
two bathhouses which are leased by
the government. The prices for baths
and fees of attendants are prescribed
by law. and no deviation can be made.
The average temperature of the water
is 138 degrees, but there are places
where it is so as it oozes from the
mountain side that a cooling process is
necessary Ifcfore it can be used for
bathing purposes.
The government has expended more
than $1,000,000 i:> improvements on the
reservation. The army and navy hos
pital is pronounced one of the most
elaborate "and best appointed govern
ment hospitals in the world. The hos
pital grounds and, in fact, the entire
Hot Springs mountain are beautifully
laid out in walks, drives and flower
beds.

The piano in a very primitive form is
found in Matabeleland, where, primi
tive as it is. it is as much appreciated
as the finest "grand" in our own coun
try, even though it consist merely of a
number of pieces of iron strung on a
wooden board. A picture of one of
these shows twenty-three pieces of
iron of varying lengths and breadths,
no iwo alike, arranged in an ascend
ing scale along the board. Thus a
scale- of twenty-three notes is produc
ed, quite sufficient for elaborate tunes.
To add to its sonorousness the instru
ment is usually put inside a hollow
gourd, around the opening of which
bits of bone are placed, with the same
end in view. Tin- performer s'lts. places
tiie gourd on his knees, the opening
toward him. and plays his. "piano"
