At noon Wednesday at the bride's home in Butler township, occurred the wedding of Slips Josephine Criswell, ■ daughter of 'Squire and Mrs. Joseph Criswell, and Philip Henninger, fourth son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Henninger. After tho ceremony the bride and groom left for New York, where the latter has an excellent position as an electrician, and where they will here after reside. The groom is a brother i of Jacob Henninger and of District At- < torney John Henninger. Mrs. Leah Keith, Indiana county's oldest resident, died at her home near Grismore last Friday, at the age of 112 years. Abont a month ago the venera ble woman received a partial paralytic stroke and it was thought that the rem edy which on many previous occasions pulled her through would avail. Ac cordingly certain of her old neighbors , were summoned, and around her bed they sang the old "buckwheat songs," of which she was so fond. But these, together with the best medical aid the family could procure, failed at last and since Christmas the aged woman had been slowly declining. Mrs. Jack Gardner, the eccentric rich woman of Boston, who has done so much to add to the spice of life in that ' cold metropolis, has just been brought to book by the government and com pelled to pay $200,000 tariff on works of art imported some years ago free of ■ duty on the ground that they were to . be placed in a museum. This mnseum 1 is one of the greatest curiosities of arch itecture the world affords. It is ' made up of bricks, stones, columns, marbles, windows, and the like, picked ' up from ruins and demolished bnild- . ings all over Italy and united so as to make a harmonious structure. It is 1 supposed to represent the acme of taste, and Mrs. Gardner was so earnest in the matter that she did some of the work with her own hands, even to mix- ( ing mortar and laying courses of stone. It is filled with rare art treasures and ] is known as "The Fenways." All Boston, from the higher intellect- ] ual circles of Beacon Hill to the hum blpr, but equally erudite and aestheti- i cally inclined people of the slums, re joiced that there was to be opened to their eyes such a wonderful store of the world's best art. For, in truth, the col lection in question is marvelous in its excellence. The museum feature, how- , ever, turned out to be a hoax. Certain rooms are open to the public on a few days in the year for a few hours; only 200 tickets are issued for each day and cost a dollar apiece. So far as the pub lic at large is concerned the museum feature was a farce and in consequence Mrs. Gardner had to step up to the cus tom house and settle for the duties she had not paid. OIL NOTES. The Market—Both agencies are yet paying $1.85. Mars—The McDonald brothers have a good well on the old homestead. The well on the Miller is in the 100-foot. The unusual severity of this winter has caused the oil men a loss of many thousands of dollars. Little wells have been frozen up, causing loss of their production and they will never again be worth starting. The production of nearly all wells, regardless of size, is materially reduced by the cold weather. Then there are the little items of frozen pipe lines, water lines, snapping ma chinery, etc. Kelly Bros., Mars, are drilling for Toomey, Wasson & Co., on the Powell, farm at Maharg, near the Nixon farm.

"Miss Bob White," a comedy opera by Williard Spenser, whose "Little Tycoon" and "Princess Bonnie" are still whistled and hummed in every household, has in his third opera Ont spensered himself and Messrs Nixon & Zimmerman, the famous magnates who will present the Spenser opera in Pitts burg in a tew weeks, having given that work the most complete, luxurious and surreptitious mounting ever accorded a Spenser opera. It is complete, delight ful and picturesque, but not overdressed nor overdone and the lavish expendi tures have been for talent and not for tinsel, which together with the meritor ious book and melodious music, are a triumvirate hard to beat. Grand Opera House, Pittsburg "Cleopatra, " that gorgeous spectacle founded upon history, and written by that eminent French playwright, Vic torien Sardou, and familiar to the American public through its presenta tion here by Sara Bernhardt, and the late Fanny Davenport, is the extraordi nary attraction offered by Manager Davis for next week commencing Mon day, January 25tli. The great play tells of the meeting of Marc Antony, in command of the Ro man legions, aild Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, who comes to sue for her coun try's pardon. Cleopatra, in tho great scene, wins Antony, and makes him declare his love for her. In the midst of the great celebration in honor of this event, Antony is called back to Rome. The third act, where Cleopatra watches upon the starlit terrace for his messen ger is exceedingly intense. When the messenger does arrive with the story of Antony's broken faith, the queen strikes him dead with a blow. Through six massive acts the great story is laid. Pittsburg Orehestra.

The Pittsburg Times is a conserva tive, careful newspaper for particular people. Its statements of fact and com ments on them are concise and correct. Its departments are in charge of experts, and its authority in all matters pertain ing to the events of the world at large and of the community it represents more particularly is recognized. It has no Sunday edition, and its position in that regard in Pittsburg is as unique as its thorough reliability in every way. Staunchly Republican in political poli cy it yet gives HII the news of all par ties. Its moral tone is high, and church men of every creed find in its columns more news of their interests and work than in all its contemporaries combined. Sports are given th# prominence they deserve and no more. The news con cerning them is bright, timely and ade quate, for the work is done by a master. It offends neither the eye nor the sensi bilities. Those things that are of im portance are treated accordingly. Those that are unimportant are handled in keeping with their value. Each issue of The Times is a day's history of events the wide world round. Its price is one cent dally or fa a year. 11l Two Years. [ _ > Two years ago a If Donegal town ship.
