R. post meeting in 1 Pittsburg, denounced Andrew Carne gie 8 hero fund as the "most ridiculous, 1 foolish and inane proposition ever pro mulgated " To compensate acts of her oism with cold cash does look a trifle like reducing it to the level of a mercen ary transaction. —This year of leap-year parties has ftgaio proven the incorrigible deceitful- , pew of the merry maidens. If one of , them happens to disoloso who is the , lucky fellow whom she has favored with an inyitation to the impending hop or party half a dozen others at once send him invitations and of course he hag to rSTurn tho compliment by sundry trips to the theatre, buggy rides, pre » aents, etc. —Shoppnhaner, the philosopher, said "No man ought to expect much from others, or, in general, from the external world. What one human being can be to another is not a very great d eal. In |he end every one stands alone. Fate ig cruel i)nd mankind pitiable. A man who is rich in himself is like a bright, warm, happy room at Christmas-tide, while without are the frost and snow of a Decemberliight." —Bids, opened Tuesday, in Pittsburg, on the Allegheny county road contracts to be carried out this year call attention at once to the steady progress of the improvement of the roads in.that coun ty aud to their father steep cost. The letting of 2e miles of roads to be macad> amioed and the cost of from $14,000 to $30,000 per mile, averaging about $lO,- 000, illustrates both aspects, and tbe Dispatch asks: Why is it that the county mnst s»y an average of $16,000 per mile for macadamized roads when townships and boroughs within"that county have constructed macadamized roads at a cost of $4,000 to $6,000 per mile? The question is given point by tlje fact that in certain parts of that county where the two classes of roads can be seen in close vicinity the less ex pensive sort does not show badly by comparison. -Ready for yonr spring suit—look o/er Ritter & Rockenstein's lino. PERSONAL,. W. A. Sloan Esq. of Mara was in town on legal business, yesterday. M. J. Rodgere and wife of Donegal township did some shopping in Butler, Tuesday. T. L. Anderson and daughter of Alle gheny twp., did aome shopping in But ler, Tuesday. W. J. Monks of Middlesex and O M. Patteraon of Hilliarda were among onr callers, Friday. Win. Rabbitt, the victim of the Chicora bull-dogs was brought to the Hospital and will recover. Jetty Einzig of Budapest, Hungaria. ia 116 years of age. but tells people she is only 105, because she a ashamed to be BO old. W. W. Blackmore ia yet at the Hospi tal. He has undergone two operations, Und it is feared will have to submit to a third. Wm. R. Brown of Butler has bought out the interest of 0. C. Ferguson and is now sole owner of the Milleratown Herald. Mrs Edith M. Smiley and family are now at the home of her father, J. B. Mechlin?, where they will remain for the present. Czar Nicholas ia said to be consulting claiivoyants to learn how to conduct the war. If so, he is in a fair way to wreck the clairvoyant business. Hetty Green's denial that she has given away $550,000 is traveling faster and farther than the original story did, though it has not half so much news value. Uriah Adams of Mt. Holly, N. J., recently killed a rat that had about its Deck a diamond ring belonging to hia daughter. Search for the lost ring had been abandoned. Kins Solomon and the Sbeba both wore rubber boots in Butler, last Saturday. It looked odd to see a lot of women trying to dance in the mud, with rubber boots on. Clara Barton resigned the Presidency | of the Red Cross Society, last Saturday, and Mrs. John A. Logan was elected in I her stead. The ceremony took place at Mrs. Logan's home in Washington. H. W.

Mr. Burtner expects to be prom oted to a higher office and if he receives the promotion will again re-enlist when his term expires. John D. Rockefeller at the age of seven "had to milk a cow,'' and a New YorK cartoonist pictures liim at the age of seventy, still milking the "Great American Cow"—but the artist has Mr. Rockefeller on the left side of the cow, an error which sometimes induces the cow to kick over the pail. Elmer Hyatt, a railroad fireman of Reynoldayille, married his mother-in law, a tew days ago. The new Mrs. 11. has been a widow for thirteen years and has two sons at home and one away at school. She is about 42 years of age and is paid to be very prepossessing in appearauce. The groom is about 31 The metnbers of the family do not take kindly to the mix-up in their relation ship and the children hardly know whether Hyatt has ceased to be their brother in-law and is now their step father or whether he is both. Peter P. Hilliard of Billiards, was in town on business, lii¥t Saturday. He is now in his 73d year, and is, perhaps, the youngest locking old man in the county. While in our office, his old friend, Francis Byers of Concord township, caciP in, and the two men talked over old times Mr Hilliard and Mr. Byers were married in the same house in Con cord towns-hip and at the same time, forty-five years ago, and after dinner the two couples drove to Butler in the saino rig. and went to either a show or the Fair on the old grounds, at foot of West Jefferson street. There are two connections of Hilliards in that vicinity —those of Hilliards and those of Eau Claire and vicinity. The Hilliards of Hilliards and vicinity are of German origin and their original name was Hiluurt. while tUosn Fsn_oliire weje of Irish origin, and their original name was Halyard The pronunciation of both names sounded like Hilliard, and so it was made. Miss Marie du Calm of Niagara Falls is of an.affectionate and clinging nature; she says so herself, and puts it up as a defense to Walter Lorraine's suit against her for $2,000 damages. It happened this way. While she was visiting in Ottawa, she met Walter at a friend's home. The ice carnival was at its height in Quebec, and the couple made up their minds to visit it and gat photographs,both being amateur photog raphers. During the development of the negatives one in particular appealed to the enthusiastic nature of Miss dn Calm. As she saw the imnge of the gay scenes which they had witnessed she was completely carried away. With a gurgling, "Oh, Walter, doesn't anything like that make you lovt» na ture! I'm just going to give you a big hug!" She hurled herself at the plain tiff. As her arms encircled him, Lor raine's complaint alleges, there was a crackling sound and Lorraine uttered a cry of pain. A physician was sum moned. Lorraine had sustained a frac ture of one of hie ribs on the right side. In her defense Miss du Calm sets up that she is of an affectionate and cling ing nature and that fact was wall known to the plaintiff, who, she says, up to the time of the accident had shown DO disinclination to submit to her caresses. Miss du Calm's answer also alleges the hugging was involuntary and flue to the effect of the red rays of light, resulting from the use of a ruby lamp, that it is a recognized scientific fact that the red rays are the most strenuous and likely to provoke excita bility in one of an ardent temperament, and tneir effect upon the defendant is and was at the time known to Lorraine. The man who has his corn in is lucky. . —Park dates are being secured—the Masons have selected June 23. —Some one well versed in muleology has said that a mule never had the rhenmatism in his hind ltfk It has also been observed that the nmle. never discriminates between a preacher and a tramp. Like rain, he gets the drop on the good and bad alike. The mule is a veteran by nature, for be has befen known to kill, but not eat his prey. The mule that stands with his eyes shut and his ears drooped is not dreaming. Science says he is thinking of the last man he kicked or who is going to be the next. Keep on the good side of tht> mule, which is the front side. —At WalstoD, Jefferson county, one night last week, tbe postmaster and storekeeper of tbe town was held up *at his house by four me n and his house and person robbed; then he was con ducted to his store, and it and the post office were robbed,the robbers seen ring about goods and postage stamp?. On the way from the house to the store the"party passed several squads of min ers and coke drawers. In such cases the robbers would Rurround Lingerfel ter as if in conversation, but with their revolvers.' muzzles pressed against his body, and threatening to kill him in: stantly if he should attempt to make an outcry.' In this way they got him to a point near the store, where he was bound, gagged %nd locked in a small outhouse. _ No Gloss Carriage Paint Made will wear a* long as Devoe's.
