George Westinghouse is one of the
great men of this Nation, as he is the
originator, organizer and responsible di
recting head of industries employing
30,000 persons, on whom 75,000 more
are directly dependent, and indirectly
supporting 25,000 persons in addition to
thtffle. None but the German manu
facturer Krupp comes to mind as equal
ing Westinghouse in industrial im
portance. Where Krupp built with de-i
strnction in view the genius of West
inghouse ever has been directed to im
proving and enlarging the arts of peace
Meet him at the huge shops in East
Pittsburg. Wilmerding. Swissvale or
Trafford City, the Westinghouse towns
near Pittsburg, and you see a king in
his realm. The great, strong man who
is the mainspring of all, moving about
quietly but alertly, impresses you with
tne great force that may be crowded
into one hnman mind and body. His
manner is as gentle as a woman's, but
imperative as becomes a commander; he
is as courtly as a gentleman in an Eng
lish novel, as precise as the proverbial
old maid, and as ready to explain simple
facts or technicalities to the stranger in
the shops as Andrew Carnegio is to
make a noise with a donation.

FAIR WEEK.
No Fair Week Butler has ever had
started oft with fairer weather than did
this week. Sunday was a beautiful day
and thousands of people went up to the
grounds, and lolled in the woods and
grandstand.
Monday was ditto aifd the gentlemen
horses and cows were seen on our streets
on their way up the hill. Tuesday was
entry dav and so many horses were en
tered for the races that the supply of
stable room was exhausted and had to
be enlarged
A walk around the grounds, that
afternoon, showed a number of hand
some horses—Shires and Percherons—in
their stalls.
There are some splendid horses in
this county, and the effect is being seen
on our etreets." Some of our farmers
now drive handsome teams to town;
and good horses are as ready sale to
day, as they ever were.
There were some fine animals in the
cattle, sheep and pig sheds.
The chicken house was filled with
"birds" of all kinds, and then there
were some real birds, parrots and pig
eons. with rabbity guinea pigs, and
white rate, and also a pair of young red
foxes, dug out of a hole in the pine
tract, last Sprint:
Between the chicken-house and Agri
cultural Hall there are several side
shows, including one that is "morell
and refined."
In Agricultural hall there is a nice
exhibition of plants, but the displays of
fruits and vegetables are almost ridicu
lous—this on account of the date assign
ed to the Association here by the Cir
cuit managers being too early for them.
However there are a few very nice
potatoes, and squashes, and one nice ex
hibit of white corn.
Near the Hall are splendid exhibits of
farm wagons, buggies, agricultural ma
chinery, etc., bv Martinconrt & Thom.
and Charley Johnston, and also some by
, other firms.
In Floral Hall the chief novelty is Mr.
Hevdrick's displays of gladiolas—noth
ing of the kind has ever before been
seen in Butler. The colors must be
studied to be appreciated, and properly
combined for effect. A bouquet of
gludiolas and water lilties is the hand
somest that can be made. Then there
is the usual wilderness of fancy-work,
paintings and other works of art, and
some advertising displays.
An abundance of water is provided on
the grounds, also all conveniences.
There are lemonade stands without
number, also some catch-pennies and
several good restaurants. The ladies of
the Grace Lutheran church have the
large restaurant in the grove, this year:
they set up 180 dinners, Tuesday, twi'.-e
as many yesterday, and will probably
provide several hundred to-day. as they
are amply prepared to do so.
The grounds of tbe Butler Driving
Park & Fair Association are splendid
and will improve year by year. The
view of Butler from the top of that hill
is magnificent—this is the liveliest and
best town in the United States-but its
people do not appreciate being hauled
naif way up that hill an l then being
compelled to walk the rest of the way.
That street-car track should run around
the hill and into the grounds.
The race program ia being carried
ont; and there is a bigh-jnipping ex
hibition each day, bnt our hosey mau
has not yet made his report.
Letter to Eisler-Marclorf Co.,
Butler, Pa.
Dear Sirs: The easiest business in this
world is dry-goods; the reason is: your
customers want your stuff as much as
you want to sell iti they come-in; you
show it and sell it. That's the whole
bnsiness, except your buying the goods
Devoe comes next. It saves money,
and people like money. They like some
body else's more than their own; they
like to make it more than to save it;
they like to keep it perhaps as well as
to make it
Buildings run-down fast, without
paint; poor paint is the same. Devoe is
the means of stopping that leak; a big
one. All we've got to io. to sell Devoe.
is to show that a man saves money by
using it.
£I) Jewell, Corry, Pa. painted his
house 5 years ago with a mixed paint;
14 gallons. Last spring he painted
Devoe; 10 gallons Saved sls to S2O.
¥ours truly,

Fire at the Fair Ground.
A fire of unknown origin broke ont at
the Fair Grounds, Wednesday morning,
about 1 o'clock, in which three horns,
and the entire equipment of the Barney
Dainerest Combination, were consumed,
together with a good road horse, owned
by a Pittaburger, and a new row of sta
bles, just completed. Fortunately the
horses burned were not the exhibition
horses, and after gathering np what
equipment could be secured in the town,
the exhibit was given yesterday, and
will be repeated today and tomorrow
The continual barking of a dog with
the "string" gave the alarm, and in ad
dition to the horses burned to death
several others were badly burned.
