Conditions in Russia are terrible, and Russian de feat in Manchuria will probably mean revolution at home. . A chance for men to save money—at tend Ritter & Rockenstein's sale. PERSONAL.

Street Fakers and Fairs. Street fakers and "street fairs are becoming a nuisance. On Monday evening a snake-show man stopped his wagon en W. Cunning ham street and the crowd soon blockad ed the street. He bad a license from the Burgess, but the District Attorney told him to seek another location or stand a suit in conrt, and he moved. The volunteer firemen of Kittanning are having a "Street Fair." this week, and, as usual, allow gambling games in it, but Father Carrol offered them SIOO if they would cut out "paddle wheels,' and this and some other offers led the firemen to make the citizens of the town a remarkable offer. The offer was to cut out all gambling games, if the citizens will raise them SSOO. In other words the firemen would not violate the laws of the Commonwealth, if they weie well paid; and this makes one wonder what kind of sticks they elect over there for Constables and Dis trict Attorney. _____ OKOCEK'S PICNIC Fourth Annual Picnic of the grocers at Alameda Park.

In an opinion handed down by Jus tice George B.
