Up the time of its attack upon the liberty of the pre««, the late Legislature did not do so badly. The school legis latioT k adopted is generally considered good: and it is to be hoped that the new road law, which creates a State Roads Department, and appropriates money for its support, will not be without re sults. If the Governor vetoes the libel bill there will be but little cause for com plaint, and whether he does or not its passage, and the storm of indignation that followed, did some good in the squelching of several franchise, dam and canal bills, that were considered "grafts,"' and which were immediately dropped by the "gang.' When the new Roads Department g.-ts into working order, we suggest that they consider the matter of new surveys —entirely new roads. For instance one cannot get ont of Butler, at pres< nt, on a public road without climbing s hill, whereas a road up a valley, and around the bill wonld do far better The expenditure:, of the Postoffice Department of the National Govern ment will be about a hundred and forty millions for the coming year, and Post master General Payne has begun a re organization of his department, and also an investigation of alleged abuses, which will be watched with interest by the public. Several of the trains between But ler and Allegheny now make the run in one hour and twenty minutes, which, considering the crookedness of the road, is remarkable. All the railroads all over the country are straightening their road beds, and going in for fa-ter time, and the rage has also spread to travel oa the ocean. A new German passen ger steamer, lately launched, made 23 H 0* teliots an hcnr on her trial trip. A knot or tea mile is **oo feet longer than a land mile.and 24 knots means about 28 miles, which is pushing a large boat through the water at a tremendous gait. A. prominent physician stated, lately, that the corset was largely responsible for appendicitis; but he forgot that more men than women suffer from dis eases of the vermiform appendix. The subject is interesting from the notable increase in the number of cases, and some physicians now place it among the "germ diseases." The terrible ml crobe seems to be everywhere. The New Castle Tribune, which led off in the fight against Wallace, says it will not support a Wallace candidate, a Brown candidate or a Matt Quay can didate for J udge, next year. Tlit; Halus-Gr.'wly Kill ffcsiring. Some five hundred newspaper men of the state appeared before the Governor, in Harrisburg, Tuesday, for the purpose of protesting against the Salus Grady negligence bill. The ball of the Ilonse, where the hearing was held, was crowd ed and the arguments for the newspaper publishers were made by ('has. Emory Smith of the Philadlpliia Press and Rep. Thomas V. Oioper, while the arguments for it were made by two paid Philadelphia lawyers In commenting on the hearing the Pittsburg Dispatch says: "It must not be forgotten that the publications of which the promoters of the bill 00111- plain were not negligently made. They were made deliberately If they were malicious cr false the present libel laws O.Ter every opportunity for redress. Making negligence a crime will not pre vent the intentional commission of crime. Nor will making negligence in publication a subject for punitive dam ages prevent the publication of deliber ately written articles. In other words, If a newspaper publishes in the public interest a careful and deliberate criti cism of a public official or a public act that would not be in violation of tbe existing law, which prohibits malicious or false publications, the new law inak ing neglfgence a crime will not serve to prevent It. Bnt it will, by placing in the hands of the unscrupulous shyster and backmailer a weapon for vexations litigation, serve to stifle and suppress legitimate criticism. Thus it will not alone be ineffective but iniqnitous, in jurious to the public, whose liberties depend upon the freedom of the press, a id ruinons to the newspaper interest as an agency for the dissemination of n 'ws of public interest." The Governor has not yet made known his decision. AT the mooting of newspaper men in Harrisburg, Monday evening, a perma 11 >nt organization waseffected and a com mittee appointed to look after any idiotic bills that may hereafter be in tfoduced in the Legislature. Miltlcr Man'* Propositi Inter rupted |#y Police. What happened to Frederick Hum mel! waa this: He said the maidcri 'liould lie bis'n; instead of which h* ■'•lit to prison. Frederick, who liv«s 'ii Butler, went to see the girl be loved in the boarding house of Joseph Miller in McKeesport. He proposed to the wiiden. was accepted, and was just abjut to clasp her in his arms, when the police burst in the door and placed In.ll under arrest. And why f Houieijody in the neighlsir hood had fired a shot. The police be lieved it was Frederick and persisted in ill-) belief when Hiiinmell came up for a b irlng before the Mayor Friday morning He had a revolver in his po'-ket; the door of the risim was locked; he had refused to open the door. These things looked suspicious. But, Hum ui'-II said that he carried the gun and I'' ked the door beeause there were noli In the house who were jealous of his good fortune;and he refused to open the door beoause he thought the ieslous , <>"»s were there.

Cunning ham street, was caught in the shaft of a drill machine, whirled around twice, his clothes torn completely off, arm broken, thigh torn, and head, neck and breast cot. He is in the Hospital aDd is getting along nicely. In Allegheny last Sunday afternoon a crowded <-treet car dashed down Federal j street, and wrecked a freight car. The brake refused to work. A dozen people were hnrt. Harrv Campbell, Jr., of Yenango township, had his neck broken, last Fri dav, by *>me logs falling upon him, and he died almost instantly. He was haul ing logs to the saw mill on his father's farm, at the time, and the wagon and load upset Jos. Barry of the Car Works had a shoulder dislocated, Friday. Wm Campbell. Jr.. aged 4 years, fell and Droke an arm, Thursday. Forward township bad a couple of accidents, last week. While some boys were serenading, somebody touched the trigger of a revolver too hard, and the bullet hit Warren Crowe in the heel and penetrated his foot. Miss Willie Fehl sv.-ept the floor and put the debris in the stove, not noticing that a dynamite cap was amoung it. The cap exploded and flew out, and lipped Willie's arm open from elbow to shoulder. A big negro—six feet four,and weigh ing about 200—had a remarkable exix-r --ience at the new Flick building on E. Wajne St.. yesterday. He is hod-carrier there, and had just reached the top with a load of morttr when his feet slipped, and he fell down the ladder hole through the 3d and 2d floors, through the joists of the Ist floor (which are but 15 inches apart) and lit in a puddle of water in the cellar. The men hurried down expecting to find a dead man. but the negro got np. scratched his shoulder, told the men that they wanted to look out as he might fall on them next time, and went back to work. Thomas Yates of the 3rd ward fell headlong into one of the pits in the Car Works, Monday, and fractured his skull. He was taken to the Hospital. He died yesterday. See death notice. Sam Vanderlin had a hand split open by one of the "bull" machines, Tuesday. E. C. Connsnan, a fireman on the Pittsburg and Western railroad, was killed near Bakerstown Monday morn ing. On account of a weak coupling the engine parted from its tender and Counsnan, who was firing the locomo tive at the time, fell between the two and was crushed under the wheels of the tender. Eight persons were killed and 10 in jnred, three seriously, in a collision be tween a passenger train and a freight train on the Erie railroad Monday near Red House N. Y. Of *;he dead only one Robert N. Hotchkiss. of Meadville has been identified. Seven bodies, appar ently those of three men, three women and a child, were burned beyond recog nition in the fire which followed the wreck. The women are said to have boarded the train at Yoangst< wn and to have come from Pittsburg over the Pittsburg and Lake Erie. R. U. Mc- Cready, a mail weigher, of Meadville, Pa., and Frank Barnite, of Jamestown, a traveling salesman, are missing and, it in likely two of the unidentified bodies are those of the two men. CHUKCH NOTES. The African Baptist church has %een having trouble. Many new meuiliers have come into the church during the past year, asd the old members charge that the new memtiers have been want ing to run things, without paying their share of the debts incurred in erecting the church buildings. The troubles were the subject of discussion at a con gregational meeting last Thursday evening and while Rev. Pleasant Tucker who has returned to Butler, was ad dressing the chair, Rev. Crittenden who has been pastor for a year past, laid his hand on nis arm and told Tucker to ring off. In the fight that followed be tween the Crittendenites andTuckerites the furniture was smashed, stove over turned and a few heads broken and when the stnoke cleared away Brother Tucker was monarch of all he surveyed. It was noisy and the neighbors sent for the police. Now there are a few cases for the next Quarter Sessions. At the close of service Sanday morn ing, Rev Samuel M Mount*, pastor of the First English Lutheran church, read to the congregation his resignation to take effect in three months. A. H Reiber then arose and presented the resignation of Rev. Dr. T. D. Roth The two ministers have acted as pastors jointly during the past three years. Rev.

NERVOUS HEADACHE BREEDS INSANITY Many a person's whole pleasure in life is ruined by tin? fear of nervous head achos. Any little excitement, no matter what, business or social,brings them on The taut and hands grow cold, the head is hoi, the eyes stiff, the temples throb and only in the ijuiet of a darkened room is relief obtained. This condition must be checked or it means coin pie t< mental ruin. To those people Dr A. VV. < 'base's Nerve Pills come as a bb axing. They do not stop, they cure the head aches. They do not blanket, they build up. They put the nervous system In a strong, vigorous, sturdy condition a condition that gives one resistive power and enables them to again enjoy life's pleasures.

Chase's Nerve Pills are a grand medicine I suffered most all the time from a hard nervous sick headache and fell generally miserable as a cotirefjnence.

Astronomers have recently discovered that several of the brightest -tars have companions revolving about them. This had long been believed to be the case. These stars, then, Sirius for example, are suns This week we must begin to look upon our sun as a star, for so it would appear to be if viewed from Sirins. In fact it would be very incon spicuous; the planets, on acccunt of their small size would be invisible at that great distance. Imagine the Sun. an immense globe of fire: rotating on an axis, with north pole, south pole and equator, like our earth: his volume a million and a quarter times that of the earth, and six hundred times that of all the planets taken together: his weight3so,ooo times the weight of the turth. In roncd numbers the sun's weight is 2,154,106,- .X t,000.000,000,000,000,000 tons. On account of the great attractive {ower of this immense mass a body on thesnns surface weighs twenty-seven times as much as on the earth. The Sun's light, on which all earthly life depends, travels to the earth in eight minutes, over a distance of 93,000,000 miles. This makes him "eight minutes away." The North Star, you remem ber, is forty eight years away. Astron omers say that the latter is "forty-eight light years distant." In imagination let us look at the sun. Out there he hangs suspended, incon ceivably fur from any other body, in conceivably large and heavy, intensely hot, suspended—from what? About bim revolve, each in a path of its own. eigh*' planets besides countless asteroids, comets and meteors. The order of these planets going out from the center is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, (Asteroids), Jupiter, Saturn. Urantis and Neptune. They all revolve about the suo in orbits or paths that are near ly circular, and nearly in the same plane. Five of them have secondary planets or satellites revolving around them. Mercury, nearest the sun. is also the smallest of the system and with Venus, the next in oiil«r, has no satellites. After Venus, now evening star, comes Earth, the only inhabited planet, with its oce tatellite, the moon. Then Man, now in our midnight sky, a red planet, without satellites. Next Jupiter the largest of the pi tnets, 1300 times the size of the earth, with four moons or satellites. Then Saturn with eight moons and in addition three firey ring encircling it. Next Uranus with six and lastly Neptune with one moon. | Read the story of Solar System by G. F. Chambers, L). Appletoo and Co.
