CHRISTMAS PANTOMINE NEXT WEEK
It is the privilege of any of us to
make the acquaintance of a Goody Two-
Shoes, and put a Christmas glow in her
sunken old heart, just as it is in onr
power thus to personify other familiar
characters of fiction, and make them
the means ot stimulating onr laggard
charity. That is the peculiar and
crowning excellence of the Mother
Ckwse stories, of which this year's gor
geous Xmas Pantomine at the Grand
Opera house, "Babes in the Woods,"
formß one of the Mother Goose series of
nursery stories, including "Cinderella,"
"Aladin," "Bluebeard," "The Sleeping
Beauty and the Beast," "Puss in Boots,"
"Bed Riding Hood," "Little Thumb,"
"Alice in Wonderland," etc.

Choice Holiday Heading.
With the approach of Christmas, the
newspapers and magazines throughout
the country are bending |heir energies
toward issuing handsome and elaborate
holiday editions. The Christmas num
ber of The Pittsbnrg Sunday Press, to
be issued December 20, promises to sur
pass in excellence all previous efforts of
this up-to date and enterprising news
paper, and to eclipse, iu copiousness of
elegant reading matter, timely stories
of fiction, color pages,children's and spe
cial pages for women, and comic pages,
any papers issued in the eastern cities,
and to closely rival those of the metrop
olis.
THE TYPHOID SCOURGE.
Quite a number of the typhoid pa
tients have already recovered or are
convalescent. The total number of
deaths from fever to date, since the out
break, is about fifty-one, and the total
number of cases repotted up to Sunday
was 1,254.
It has been a remarkable scourge, and
all due, apparently, to the impure water
pumped into the reservoir directly from
the creek, for several days after tbe
dam broke, and before the new dam
was completed, during which time the
banks of the creek below the old dam
was lying full of dead and rotting fish.
A warning at that time would have
saved some lives in Butler, and thou
sands of dollars, but who ever dreamt
of typhoid.
The Relief committees continue their
work of relieving those in distress; some
of tbe members giving their entire time
to the work; and the State Board of
Health has representatives here examin
ing into every detail of our water sup
ply, and distributing disenfectants to
the eight hundred houses, in which
cases of typhoid have appeared.
Conditions at the Thorn Run dam and
water-shed are now said to be perfect,
and the reservoir is to be emptied and
purified. In this connection, however,
the question arises—Should not every
town or water company own its own
water-shed, as New York does to-day.
or else secure its supply from artesian
wells, as eome larger towns than Butler
are doing to-day.
Yesterday, the General Committee
issued the following statement:
"The popnlation of Butler and Lyn
dors, adjoining, is 18,000. A conserva
tive estimate of those dependent npon
daily wages is 14,000. We have no
means of ascertaining expected cases of
typhoid fever except reports by ward
committees, which for the past week
have averaged 12 new cases a day. The
nature of relief work thus far consists
in furnishing nurses and hospital sup
plies and providing for all temporal
wants where the bread- winners or any
other needy or deserving persons have
been stricken with the disease
Our town has been prosperous and we
have a fair number of well-to-do citizens
who have contributed generously to the
relief fund. Thus far the recent addi
tion of large manufacturing interests in
the town and the consequent influx of
large foreign population, representing
various nationalities, and who are only
moderate wage earners,have necessarily
caused the draft made upon the gen
erosity of the citizens.
The present organization, founded for
the relief of sufferers, is composed of
a general committee, elected by the
citizens at a mass meeting held iu our
court house Sunday. November 29, with
and under whom are working various
auxiliary and ward committees, and all
of whom are and have been devoting
their undivided time and attention to
the work of relief. This committee has
appointed sub-committees in each ward
to look after the sufferers therein, and
supplies ordered after investigation as
may be required. As to the estimate
of money required, we can only say this
is the first experience of an epidemic in
the history of our municipality, and our
inexperience led us as first to suppose
that our own resources w ere sufficient
to meet the emergency.
Typhoid experts and eminent physi
cians who have had large experience in
epidemics of this character insist that
we are confronted with a siege that in
all human probability will continue to
a greater or lesser degree for a period
of from two to three months from this
date, and that will involve an expendi
ture of from $75,000 to SIOO,OOO before
the scourge will be completely eradicat
ed and the normal condition of our
community restored. The present con
tributions aggregate $25,000. Our
records show that up to date there has
been expended for general relief pur
poses SIB,OOO in a period of 14 days,
leaving a balance of $7,000, which will
be exhausted within one week. The
extensive sanitary work made necessary
by the existence of the epidemic has
been assumed by the state board of
health of Pennsylvania, thereby reliev
ing our committee of all expense and
anxiety in this direction, and every
dollar thus received or to be received
will be applied directly to the actual
necessities of the deserving sick and
suffering.
And in view of the fact that our mu
nicipality at present has a bonded in
debtedness practically up to the limit
allowed by law, we cannot bond the
town to meet the emergency and are de
pendent entirely upon the continued
generosity of our own citizens, supple
mented by the loveis of humanity else
where. In view of this condition of af
fairs, the citizens of Butler, through
their committees and burgess, appeal to
the generosity of the people of the
United States for contributions of cash
to aid them in fighting the epidemic.
All contributions should be made to
Thomas J. Shnfflin, treasurer cf the re'
lief committee."
At the meeting of the general com
mittee Tuesday evening Andrew W.
McCollough resigned as chairman of the
Fourth ward committee, stating that
the long hours of work and the scenes
of suffering, rain and wapt which he
witnessed every day had reduced him to
the verge of nervous prostration. The
resignation was reluctantly accepted
and George Evans was elected Mr. Mc-
Collough's successor. The latter re
mains a member of the executive com
mittee and committee on cases.
Bnt five cases were returned Tuesday
by physicians to the board of health,
the names of those having taken sick
being J. A. Ehmer, Second street; Mil
ton Cottrell, South street; Theodore
Zimmerman, Millerstown road: Anna
Ligon, Elm street and Clyde Young of
Institute hill.
Among those who are said to be dan
gerously ill today are David W. Austin
of the South Penn Oil Company; Perry
M. Starr and Miss Margaret Brandon.

Clara Barton, president of the Red
Cross society of this country, and now
an aged la(!y, came to Butler, last

giving a short history of the society,
and her connection with it. The society
was organized in Geneva, Switzerland,
in 1874, its object being to alleviate, as
far as possiMe, the suffering on the
field of battle. Representatives of all
the European nations were at the meet
ing, the reverse of the Swish flag was
adopted as the badge, and the society
received the recognition and sanction of
all the European governments. She
happened to be in Europe during the
Franco-Prussian war, saw the society
at work on a battlefield, took an interest
in it, and organized a branch society in
this country, about 1873, the work of
which has been extended, so as to in
elude all great calamities or disasters.
Mrs. Gustav Lipschentz died in Phila
delphia a few days ago. She belonged
to the great Jewish family of Abarban
el, whose relationship to David is un
disputed. Her maiden name was Ber
tha Neamann. and she sprung fropi
that branch of the family of which Don
Isaac Abarbanel, Prime Minister in
Spain in 1492, was the head. During
that time, when persecution against
the Jews began as a result of the change
in the religious views of Ferdinand and
Isabella, Don Isaac was obliged to flee
with his less favored brethren. The
family scattered, settling in various
parts of Europe. Don Isaac afterward
became Prime Minister in Italy. The
grandfather of the dead woman was
' Rudolph Hirsch Abarbanel, one of the
Iformost rabbis of Germany in the last
century. The city of Gretz, where he
died, gave him a public funeral, and
the Government buildings were draped
in mourning.

they are relieved for a short time. But
they ought noi to pain you at all with

Mr Robert Storey, «2 years of

for the opticians, Mr. and Mrs. W. E.
Maliaffey and Miss Miller, of Pittsburg
and New York, who have been coming
to the Hotel Lowry for the past five
weeks. My eyes have failed me so much
I thought I was going to lose the sight
,or Would have to have an operation on
them, so after trying others I called on
them, After a careful examination, 1
was told that no Operation would be
n?eded. After removing the strain from
the nerves of my eyes they fitted me
with glasses. I have now used my
glasses for several weeks and I can see
as well as wben a boy, both for distance
and close, and read for honrs without
tiring. They aro experts in this art and
courteous in their treatment.

i| preach a better sermon or make a better mouse trap
li than his neighbor, though he build his house in the woods,
l| the world will make a beaten path to his door." The
13 same rule applies to the merchant and is the real secret
II of this store's great success and large and growing pat
-0 ronage. We do not stock this store with the goods we
II could make the biggest profits on, but the ones that wear
II the best, look the best and fit the best; in short the
|1 goods that are the best and most stylish and make
