POLITICAL.
Owing to some of the candidates for
county offices being on the local tickets,
we have been requested to postpone
making any announcements for county
offices until after the February election.
The Republican State Convention has
been fixed for Wednesday, June 11th.
At the second meeting of the Con
gre°sion Committees in Pittsburg, Sat
urday. nothing was accomplished.
The Westmoreland county men pro
posed the popular vote of the whole dis
trict which the Butler county men
would not agree to; then the Butler
county men proposed the conferee sys
tem with each county on an equality,
which the Westmoreland men would
not agree to; then the Westmoreland
men proposed the popular vote in each
county, each nominee to select a con
feree for every 2000 Republican votes,
and this the Butler men would not
agree tc. and the committee adjourned
without any presage of an agreement.
Some twenty years ago. when Butler
county was joined with Mercer and
Crawford counties in a Congressional
district, and the district nomination
was settled by the candidates them
selves, through conferees, it was a mat
ter of bargain and sale, every time.
One of the Mercer county nominees tola
us that the Butler county nominee had
offered him ten thousand dollars for the
district nomination.
Then came our connection with
Beaver, Lawrence and Mercer, and the
fifteen puzzle, with its record of decep
tion and treachery, and now we are ask
ed to encourage another conferee ar
rangement, and begin the dirty business
all over again.
The popular vote is the only proper
method of making local nominations,
and there is no game in politics that
both factions in a party cannot play at,
with the popular vote to bank on.
"The Republican conferees from
Westmoreland and Butler counties will
meet again in Pittsburg Satnrday to
try to arrange a plan for nominating
candidates for Congress from the
Westmoreland-Butler district. The
conferees were unable to decide last
Satnrday. Butler county wants on an
equal basis with Westmoreland, which
the Weatmoreland conferees are not
willing to concede and should not. A
county with one hundred thonsand
more people is entitled to a larger
representation. It's not our fault that
Butler county has only one-third the
population of our county. But, be
cause the soap miners have neglected
their opportunities, that is no reason
why we should suffer. Westmoreland
will insist on just distribution of
Congressional honors. Our conferees
cannot agree to equal representation
withont doing grow injustice to their
party and county. Butler has now a
mini. in Congress serving his third
term, while Westmoreland has been
missing from the halls of congress for
four years. It's our turn this time and
for several succeeding times and Butler
county will have to "go 'way back and
sit down. GreensburgTribune-Herald.
State Treasurer-elect Frank G. Harris
has entered a suit in the Common Pleas
Court of Clearfield county against
Editor P. Gray Meek of Bellefonte for
trespass and damages not exceeding
139,000.
The summons was served upon Meek
at the office of Ex-Judge Krebsanddnly
accepted. The Centre county editor
had gone over to Clearfield Co to
consult with his attorneys regarding
the suit brought by Harris, charging
criminal libel and set for trial at the
February quarter sessions. Neither
Meek nor his attorneys were at all sur
prised when the summons was served
They say this action is simply made for
the purpose of bolstering up the crimi
nal action.
The plaintiff has not filed his state
ment and nothing can be learned con
cerning the extent of his damages or
just what they consist of. The defend
ant's attorneys say they wish Harris
had brought the civil action first, is
then they could go into the question of
character, etc.
The close friends of Harris say the
criminal case against Meek will go to
trial, as there is nothing else to do. A
back-down now on the part of the next
State Treasnrer would be construed as a
confession of guilt and wonld work in
estimable harm to the Stalwart ticket
nexf fall.
The Republican Committee of Wash
ington connty met in the county seat,
Tuesday, to canvass the results of the
two attempts which have been made to
decide upon a method of choosing a
candidate from the Twenty-fourth Con
gressional district by representativees
of Washington, Beaver and Lawrence
counties.* The committee was unanim
ous in favor of the popular vote system
or its equivalent, and among the
resolutions passed was the following:
"We sincerely deplore the present
condition of onr party in Pennsylvania,
and hope that wise counsel and temper
ate action may avert the disaster which
appears imminent. The profligacy and
corruption of the last Legislature, un
paralleled in the history of the State,
followed by gigantic political deals
which involve the interests of great
communities, have so aroused public in
dignation and disgust that we believe
party success in the election next No
vember can only l>e achieved by the
nomination of a candidate for Governor
whose character is above reproach, and
who is in no way responsible for the iu
famons record of the List Legislature
and the high-handed and uuconstitu
tiocal acts of the present State admin
istration.

The Butler County General Hos
pital.
I had heard many favorable accounts
of this institution ever since it was es
tablished—in fact I had never heard
anything that was not complimentary
in the highest degree. All accounts
concurred that it was most admirably
conducted. That it was a most jom
fortable and homelike place. That pa
tients were cared for most tenderly, and
that everything was just as sweet and
clean and dainty as it was possible to
be. The general tone of this informa
tion was to the effect that one could be
treated there far more efficiently and
made far more comfortable than could
be the case in his own home even under
most favoring conditions All of which
did much to dispel the notion, quite
natural to one uninitiated, that a hospi
tal is a sort of prison of horrors But
having been lately so unfortunate—no.
no, I should say so fortunate —as to be
an inmate for a few weeks, I feel con
strained to say that the half has not
been told and I want to spread the
news.
| Here the people of Butler county have
an institution which not only incites
their admiration but invokes their love
and appeals to their humane feelings.
A century of growth for the county has
at length put forth possibly thesweetest
opening bnd on its century plant in this
helpful, merciful retreat. A charming,
cheerful place to be when one is helpless
—still more so when convalescing.
What is it like? An admirably plan
ned building full of light and sunshine.
Floors polished and laid with rugs: walls
and ceilings in granite plaster and beau
tifully frescoed. In every apartment a
handsome modem fireplace, a snowy
couch and a tidy dressing case. Before
a patient enters his room the floor, the
walls, the ceiling, the rugs, everything
has been thoroughly clarified and cleans
ed, and he is confronted with such an
utter puritv it seems that the very cher
ubs of sweetness and cleanliness are
nestled there to be his lovely coropan
ionß , e »l_
But what about the personnel of the
institution? This consists of a number
of graduate trained young lady nurses
under whose sole management it is con
ducted. With the exception of the or
derlies no men are there at all. The
young ladies wear a uniform costume
very dainty in form and cut. Their
movements are gracefulness itself—
their footsteps shod with silence—their
voices sweetly modulated. They ad
dress each other formally and are so ad
dressed by all others —as for instance,
Miss De Vere, Miss La Folette, or what
ever toe surname may be. Invariably
the patients are formally addressed by
them. The formalities of the hour are
inviolably oljserved. the good mornings,
good evenings and good nights being
never omitted. In short all the social
amenities and charming graces peculiar
to the daily household life of the high
est classes are the rule of action, com
prehensive information of which was
handed over to the graduates by well
informed instructors. But do not infer
from this that there is anywhere an air
of coldness and undue restraint Far,
very far from it. For if there is any
one characteristic of theirs which is as
prominent as any other it is their jovial
ity. Become a patient once and they'll
jolly you along for all there is in it.
You'll find you are having a splendid
good time, better than a picnic, and
when you come away you 11 say you
had more fun than ever you had in
your life before. Here again do not in
fer that there is any, even the slightest
degree of vulgar laxity of demeanor.
This could not be possible. The cere
monials and the jovialities are so ex
quisitely blended and balanced that the
net result is perfect ease of deportment
marked at once by charming modesty
and elegant gaiety.
This unvarying cheerfulness is a chief
characteristic of the trained nurse, in
itself a mighty potent ally of the
physician's drugs. Another is that they
obey the doctor's directions with the
same degree of obedience that a trained
soldier obeys the orders of his superior
officer. Over and above all these are
their thousand and one tender ministra
tions, known only to themselves, and
which sweetly taffle description. In
very truth, trained nurse is but another
name for ministering angel. And yet
after all they are so delightfully human;
for the dainty creatures will come flut
tering into your room, sometimes three
or four in a flock, just like so many
sweet-throated thrushes, and there'll Uu
such chattering and laughing and fun
making as never yon heard in all your
born days. You can't play off on your
charming companions and prolong your
felicitous stay when convalescent, for
turn about they have taken your tem
perature and counted your pulse every
morning and evening of your stay, all
of which became a part of the daily
hospital record. Thenceforth they pay
attention exclusively to the patients and
the doctor promptly gives you your
walking papers. Now. if whenever,
and as often as, a person gets out of
whack, he would only pull up stake*
and go right away over there among the
I girls—why. a man ought to live to be as
old as Methusaleh.
Perhaps a fairly correct idea of the
daily workings of the institution may
be given by a nurration of several inci
dents that "happened during my sojourn
there. A lady who was a stranger fell
ill unto death in the town, and the doc
tor, seeing that dissolution was a ques
tion of but a few daj s, at most, sent her
to the hospital, in order that the last
consolations which earth can give might
be more efficiently rendered, and a
trained and gentle hand might smooth
the dying pillow. The fateful dajs
passed by and the end was near. Mer
ciful tenderness had waited upon her
wants and the last sad offices had been
performed. The shrived and penitent
mortal crossed her arms upon her breast
and closed her eyes to await death's
solemn call Only the tireless vigil of
the watchful nurse was left to do. At
length she was startled by a voice from
the couch a voice very weak, very
low, but still audible. It said, "Mj
dear, you most be very tired do please
lie down and rest." Transfixed stood
the nurse at this amazing thoughtful
ness for the comfort of others— this sis
terly compassion —in the hour of awe.
Bnt midnight came and went. And
when at last the witching time had
come, gently the spirit took its flight,
and all was over. Long before dawn
the ambulance arrived upon its noise
less springs. Even the horses were
noiseless too. That horrid, gr iting
sound of shoving the rough box in was
absent. Everything was still. Then
there came a void, as if all these mater
ial evidences of the tragedy of hutuan
life had silently vanished in a quick,
dissolving mist. My fellow patients
and myself were kept in blissful ignor
ance of these events. We did not even
suspect them. We heard nothing. Next
morning the cheerful nnrses made their
usual jolly rounds and the same fenji
nine laughter sweetly echoed through
the corridors It was not until conval
escing that the nurse entertained rue
with the foregoing narrative
On another occasion a little boy of
eight years was brought In by his fstuer
from the country with a hand o«dit
mangled by accident. The mother
tied to their home by other little cfail
dren and household 1 in-. After skill
fnl treatment had failed to snare him
the amputation of a linger, arid after hi
had emerged from his merciful trance,
and as s'sai as he realised his surround
ings aud what had occurred to him hi •.
first thought was not of himself or his
misfortune There was but one in all
the world on whom his first thought
was centered, and it was that her cup
of sorrow might be light ; for the child
charged his father and the surgeon and
the nurses not to tell his mother AM it
the mother's cup of agony about her
jewel was nut already full to overflow
j iug In a few days I called upon the
little fellow und found him on his couch
listening with rapt delight to the nurse h
readings from Little Bo Peep and ('in
derella The child, accompanied by bit
I nurse, promptly returned inv call and
j entertained me most pleasantly.
j One morning a patient who occupied
the room next to me came hobbling into
mine in tfloe. Although racked
with pain he WIIH laughing heartily. f.jr
he HiaUv] that he had jnnt received and
read a letter fr ojn bin little won of nine
years which, after atating the health
and love of hit mother aj)d other do
i uieotic news of interest. had iin chief
charm in the effort of the child to mak*
■ his father lau«h and forget liin misery.
Thin was a statement in the letter of
how the little fellow had oue day not a
rabbit snare and on KOWIK oat next
morning to inspect result* he found thai
instead of unuriitK a rabbit by the neck
he had snared the black cat by the tail.
At once the picture was presented to
me of a father tortured with agony at
the hospital herein town. And another
picture of a very little son at a writing
table in a farm house miles and miles
away in the deep country. Undoubted
ly the better angels of our nature do
come very near at times and for the
nonce do rob mortality of its frailties
and endue the heart with a transplant
ed grace. They linger most near and
plav most sweetly on the natural ties
that bind us together. So it requires
but a slight stretch of fancy to see the
light of their holy presence shining like
an aureole on the head of this tiny son
bravelv struggling, paper and pencil in
hand, to amuse and cheer up his agon
izing father.
Another incident was connected with
the beautiful surgical room with its
purely white tiled floor and its purely
white hard plastered walls and ceiling.
Brightly illuminated by frosted side
windows and a converving skylight in
the roof, a flood of light is poured upon
the operating table underneath, in all
its ghastly stateliness made ready for
the operating surgeon and his two at
tendant trained lady nurses An order
lv procession moves down the corridor
and pauses at the threshold The door
opens inwardly and the robed figure of
a young lady passes through alone,
whereupon the door is quickly closed
and bolted. Modern science imposes its
sweet and painless trance: a few quick
and masterful strokes by the surgeon
with his keen and skillful knife; a ma
nipulation necessarily somewhat pro
tracted because of its very care and
tenderness: a speedy change to suitable
garments by the nurses, and before the
trance has passed the patient is trans
ported to her cheerful room and laid
upon her.snowy couch. The ever pres
ent nurse is standing by the bedside, to
whom the merciful angel that banished
pain gradually yields her loving charge.
The worst is over Science and human
skill have done their perfect work and
appendicitis is conquered.
All this was bnt a part of the tragedy
aDd pathos there during the two weeks
of my stay. What must the grand to
tal be in the sweep of years? It is ap
parent that there must be a counterbal
ancing element and this accounts for
the joviality that is a necessity. The
ensuing result is the gaiety of which I
have spoken, tempered and purified by
a modesty which charms the beholder
while it enthralls him a willing slave in
its sweetly pressing chains. It is a love
ly house where all that is beautiful and
seemly, and pure and holy find an abid
ing place For why; Its guardian an
gel is Mercy. Behold the angelic, com
passionate countenance; the wings so
white thev must have l>een washed and
rewashed in the fountains of everlast
ing forgiveness: and the outstretched
arm and hand so unearthly in their ut
ter beauty and loveliness they might
have ministered at the throne of tn"
.Almighty. Beautiful, adorable crea
ture'. beckoning the distressed, and
ble ; sing the merciful, and hovering con
tinually above the open portal.
I wish my command of language was
such that it could charm all the people
of Eatler county to love this merciful
institution and thus make the influence
of its gentle ministrations a part ami
parcel of their daily lives. Its untiring
president is ever watchful and working
for it day and night. The ladies ar.d
gentlemen who constitute its board of
directors are constantly self-sacrificing
to sustain it and promote its facilities.
The little band of contributors who
look to its fnrnishments and stores h ;ve
unflinchingly borne the heat and burden
of the day. The young ladies who have
consecrated their lives to the holy task
of alleviating corporal agony are doiun
their part so feebly described herein
All this constitutes a mute appeal for
help-an appeal as tender as ever went
from human heart to human heart. The
institution is intended to meet the pos
sible wants of any resident of the county
as well as those of the x ,oor wayfarer
who falls stricken within its borders
When a patient presents himself at the
portal no questions are aa to
whether he has money to pay with
Here gentle mercy welcomes swe-t
charity and bids her come in All in all
it is a sacred retreat that is reudertd
possible only by an advanced Christian
civilization It i* difficult here to resist
my desire to felicitate the officers the
state, and the county that the institu
tion is under the graceful and efficient
superintendence of -Miss Agnes Jessie
Cooke and who is so charmingly second
ed by all her lady assistants
As there must be a medium or medi
ums to present a subject to intellect!! il
com prehension and mental view bt t on
ensuing heart action can be reasonably
expected, that fact forms my best ex
cuse for this attempt to do so. At all
events the attempt is lawful, for it is on
the hither side of the sacred line that
divides the finite from the infinite No
mortal may send his voice across the
line to tell you your duty. There you
staud alone with the Creator an awful
loneliness that would be despairful but
for the blessed companionship of the
Mediator. It is for you and you alone
to decide whether you owe a duty here
as elsewhere and if so the measure of
that duty But how nice it would be to
say that all were contributing accord
ing to their several abilities tj ti.i
worthy object and lightly the burden
was falling on each. And too thin
much further may lawfully be added
that now and here and ever's a chance
to earn a sweet warm blessing front
Him who preached. "Blessed are tin
merciful, for they shall obtain mercy,

Obituary.
MRS. MARY J. RILEY.
Mary J. Riley was born August 22nd,
1846, and died January 14. 1902. The
deceased was a daughter of John and
Hettie Thompson of Middlesex town
ship, and was married to Samuel Riley
in 1870. Mrs. Riley leaves behind a
husband and nine children: John L
and Harry of Pittsburg, L. S. of Glade
Mills, Mrs. John Nicklas of Allegheny
City, Wm. F., Robt. W.. Maggie H.,
Chat R and Lizzie It. at home,
Mrs. Riley was a member of the Mid
dlesex Presbyterian chnrch aud her
pastor, Rev McNees, assisted by Rev.
Grimes, conducted the funeral service
in the Brownsdale U. P. church on Jan
16tb, at 2 p m The funeral WHS or.e of
the largest ever witnessed in this com
munity, the church was filled to over
flowing with friends and neighbors who
came to pay their last respect to her
they had learned to love so well, and
many were the tear stained faces that
passed the bier on that day, all of which
attests the lov;e and esteem of this entire
vicinity. Mrs. Riley lived a very com
mendable life, in which were many
beautiful traits and characteristics
Among the many we miirht mention
fir.-t her charitableness. No woman
ever lived in this community who was
quicker to see and supply the necessiiif s
of the needy than Mrs. Riley, and this
will be a tender memory that she will
leave behind to linger in hearts of many
helped by her. Another strong feature
of this life was her unceasing fidelity to
her home and family. She stood by the
duties of her home till the very hist
with a fortitude and willingless rarely
found. No task in the home was t>o
hard for her to do. No member of the
family but what she served with the
very best aud when the stricken hus
band could say that the family could
have spared him better than her it
spoke volumes for her faithfulness iti
her home.
This mother will be greatly missed in
her home as one of the sons said to the
writer, "Mother will uot be ;it the gate
to meet me every time I come bom-'."
Sad thought tins mav be, yet she by her
faithfulness in her home ban left a
precious memory which shall be cherish
ed and ever treasured in the heart* of
each member.
Another strong feature of her life was
her kiudly disposition. Mm. Riley al
ways had a .-smile for every one. Ai
wa \ s cheerful and pleasant no differ
ence what the crosses or hardens of life
weie she ,-.lway s bore them with cheer
fulness end pleasure, and it can be
truthfully safd, her life was one full of
sunshine and happiness toward all with
tvhom she came iti contact. The use
fulness and good that such a life leaves
1 behind cannot l»e measured by words.
Her unselfishne-s was very marked, she
always seemed best pleased when i>liP
was doing most for others. No one ever
came within her door or reach that she
was not willing to help, in fact willing
to deny b -iself and make sacrifice that
others might receive good. What a
noble life to live. What a noble ex
ample to leave. For our blessed Master
said if we were disciples of his we
would deny ourselves arid take tip our
cross and follow Him.
We could write long and much of this
nobk* mother and friend, but suffice it
to say that she was a most worthy ex
ample of noble womanhood, and the
m m >ry of her beautiful life and un
ceasing love will linger like a holy
fragrance in the sorrowing home, and
will be a comfort and stay to the
mourning friends in all the lonely
future.while the blessed hope "of meet
ing her in the heavenly home will be an
inspiration to hold their hearts loyal to
Christ, and their feet steadily in the
narrow way.
A more devoted and attentive family
to this moth'-r could not have been
found. They did everything they ootild
that her life might be spared. The de
voted husl/ind stayed by her bedside
night and dny all through her sickness
ret using to bo relieved and when death
came could scarcely realize tint his
loving partner was gone Such atten
tion and hnclt devotion on the part of
! i»- family .nil be a t'reat satisfaction
to them now.
Would that we were able to say some
.vords that would bring cheer and com
fort to the hearts of thee our sorrowing
friends, but we can only quote: "Earth
