Dear Sirs: It costs two or three times
as much to pnt paint on as to buy it. A
gallon of poor paint costs as much as a
gallon of good, for the work; and a gal
lon of poor don't go half as far. Poor
paint lasts half or a third or a quarter
as long a* good; and protects wood and
iron a half or a third or a quarter as
well as good.
Do you buy good paint or poor? You
don't know any poor Y Why, the market
is fall of it!

Harriet A. Wiles vs Rachel E. Craw
ford et al,-ejectment for 29 acres in

The trouble between the residents of
the hill at the top of Centre avenue and
the Butler Borough School Board came
to a focus yesterday in the presenta

White, Thomas V. Cochran, Davis
Smith and others are the complainants.

temporary mandamus was granted on
the Board, City Supt. J. A. Gibson, and
Principal Loyal F. Hall of the Spring
dale school, reqniring them to admit,
the children o! the fort) or tifty
families living on the hill to the borough
schools as heretofore until the matter is
finally determined. In 1868 the Bene
dict Kostand William S. Boyd farms
were taken into the borough school
district by legal proceedings. Since
then the farms have been assessed to
the Borough district and the children
have attended the Borough schools.
The discription in the annexation pro
ceedings reads: "Thence along the
Summit twp. line south to a point on
the farm of William Balph, thence west
to include Benedict Kost, William iS.
Boyd and Edwards along the Ewing
tract line to the place of beginning, a
distance of about six hundred perches."
The school board claims this description
does not include the district at the top
of Centre and Blown Aves. and the
court will have to settle it.

ward the door and the latter went out.
Milonovitz refused to go out and he and
the old man struggled and Milovitz was
thrown out. Before the fight he had
flourished a revolver and during it he
threatened to kill Danchula. As soon
as he was put out, four shots came
through the window, tired from the
back porch, one fetrnck the old man in
the back and pierced bis heart, killiug
him. Four Austrians were arrested
that night and the Sunday following
and held in jail pending an investiga
tion. Milonovitz, who fled, was arrested
four or five weeks later in Pittsburg.
The Commonwealth finished yester
day and Milovitz was put on the stand
in his own defence and of course said
he didn't do it.
One of the last witnesses for the Com
monwealth was a McKeesport police
man who said Milovitz was formerly in
that place, and the last time arrested
he had a revolver, dirk knife, knucklers
and handybilly on his person. He was
sent to the workhouse for three months.
Milovitz was tbe only witness in the
defence and the case goes to the jury
today.
MAJESTIC TIIKATKK.
The Typewriter Girl—'To-night.
' The Typewriter Girl" is simply a
hurrah musical comedy, with vaude
ville Ptrength. Herbert Dell?a used his
best efforts to create a musical pro
gramme that would l>e talked about,
and already "Dear Old Girl" and
"Valentine" are being hammed around
town. And there are other numbers
that belong in this class.
Dr. Jekyll uud Mr. Hyde—Sept. 1 0
This play has become so well known
through successive performances that
any reference to its character seems al
most superfluous. In the parlance of
theatrical folk, it is the best "repeater"
of any play of modern times. It goes
to tbe same cities year after year, and
the business it does seems to increase
with every succeeding engagement
It is the sort of play that appeals to all
classes of theatre goers. Matinee —15c
and 25c. Night 25c, 35c, 50c.
I Wedded and I'urteil— Sept. 18th.
The attraction at the Theatre Mon
day, September 18, is Sullivan. Marris &
Woods' much talked of production of
Theodore Kremer's new melodrama,
"Wedded and Parted." The story of
the plot of this sensational play con
densed into a few lines is that of a
young, innocent and trusting wife, who
is sentenc&d to Auburn prison for par
ticipation in an alleged "badger" game,
whereas she was entirely innocent of
the charge. Several excellent comedy
situations are introduced, the charac
ters of a fat butler and a middle aged
French maid beini; particularly funny.
There in in the play a very pretty child's
part. Tbe scene in the famons woman's
prison at Aubnrn introduced in this
production is one of the most novel and
original pieces of stage craft ever at
tempted.
