miles of road. There are several more

—Another case of mistaken identity

time ago a man of that name was ar
rested at Steuben ville, O , for robbing
the railroad station where he was em
ployed He made a full confession and
while left alone for a few moments
blew ont his braina With nothing
more to work upon than a similarity in
names, the former Townville Roy
Stewart was forced into the limelight
as the principal in the affair. It tarns
out. however, that the suicide was
"another fellow" and papers which pub
lished the Crawford county man's
obitnary have had to take it all back.
—A temperance lecturer, who wish
ed to prove to the audience the deadly
power of whiskey, caused a drop of
water to be magnified and thrown up
on a magic lantern screen. The pic
ture was a terrible one. Worms bigger
than pythons and » spiders the
size of a ship, fonght together
in the drop of water like
fiends in the infernal regions. The
lecturer, caused a drop of whiskey to be
added to the water. The effect was
msryeloos. The liqnor killed all those
ferocious horrors instantly. Their vast
claws and tenacies and feelers stiffened.
All became peaceful and still. An old
lady in the front row whispered hoarse
ly ia her husband's ear: "Wall, Jabez,
that settles me. 11l never drink water
again thout pnttin' some whiskey in
it
safer 1 -" •

Gov Pennypacker, even though sad
dled with the political phenomenon that
it took an adverse vote of the people _ to
awaken hipi to the necessity of doing
something is entitled to great credit for
the success of the "extraordinary."
Stephen Stone caught a pike in the
Connoqnenessing, that weighed 23
pounds—2s years ago. Fifty pound
Sturgeon are occasionally caught in
the Allegheny at the mouth of the

these big fish come up from the sea.

his words carry great weight.

worthless Count has our sympathys and
our grief for the chagrin and humilia
tion of an American girl at the bapds
of listless indolence and depravity is

had she paid a less extravagant price
for her no-account husband with a
meaningless title.
Rev. William Davies, a Hereford,
England, vicar, died recently. For 85
years he took no more exercise than
was Involved in walking from one room
to another; be was a hearty eater, with
a marked weakness for such appetizing
things as hot buttered rolls (he always
had them for breakfast) and roast pork,
and he could make away with a bottle
of port wine after dinner. And yet he
never had a day's illness during all
these years, was the picture of health,
was full of spirits ana energy and he
lived to enjoy a hearty meal on his 105 th
birthday.
Miss Alice Roosevelt, a charming and
popular young woman, whose father's
position has made her known to the
whole Nation, last Saturday, became
the wife of a Congressman whose large
fortune has not deterred him from
creditable public service. Such an
event arouses the good will of the
Nation, and in that democratic light
Mr. and Mrs. Longworth have the con
gratulations and good wishes of the
people of the United States. Theywere
married in the East room of the White
House at noon and left town that after
noon for a place in the country.
Senator Hoar above all things dis
liked profanity. The story is told how
shocked the venerable senator would be
by the inflammatory interjections of a
certain politician with whom he fre
quently was compelled to confer. But
on all such occasions he would refrain
from censuring the culprit except in
the mildest manner. One day when
the politician came to the senator's
committee-room on a subject of con
siderable importance, Mr. Hoar indi
cated a seat to him, and remarked,
"Wow, Mr Blank, befure we enter up
on a diicuasiou of this question we
shall assume that everybody and every
thing is damned. Then we can talk it
over amicably."
"Tom'' Cooper of Delaware county,
the little connty of Pennsylvania, lying
between Philadelphia and the little
state of same name, (both hard to find
on the map) is an accomplished songster
as well as a veteran legislator. He
came from Ireland, of course, and his
song during the "horse play ' session of
disorder on Wednesday afternoon- of
last week, began thusly—
Oh, the day that I came over,
I never shall forget;
It was raining in the morning,
And the afternoon was wet.
—An Irishman just landed, having to
be at work at a certain hour every
morning and never succeeding in wak
ing np in time, was told to get an alarm
oiock- He had never seen or heard of
such an article, bqt. nevertheless, went
to a clock maker and bonght one, hav
ing the clockmaker explain how it
worked. He took it home and set it to
the time he wanted to get up, but the
following morning the clock did not go
off, as he was told it would, ho took out
the back, and out dropped a dead cock
roach. On seeing it he exclaimed: "No
wonder the thing wouldn't work. The
engineer is dead!"

NEIGHBORHOOD ELECTIONS

polled, about 64,000. Guthrie was
elected Mayor by 2,700 over Jenbinson.
and will be the first Mayor of Greater
Pittsburg. The heaviest vote was
polled in the East End districts.
In Allegheny 24,000 votes were polled
and Kirschler, Rep. has 5,426 over
Logan, Dein., but when Greater Pitts
burg becomes a fact Guthrie will be
Mayor of both cities.
There are 41 wards in Pittsburg and
54 common and 38 select councilman
Allegheny has 15 wards and 39 common
and 15 select conncilmen. When
Greater Pittsburg is accomplished and
these two bodies meet in joint session
143 conncilmen will be assembled in one
building. The Pittsburg city hall will
be large enough to hold them.
The novel feature of the election in
Philadelphia was the candidacy of
about fifty women for School Director
and some of them were elected. In the
contest for Conncilmen the old party
alignments were entirely obliterated
and there were some odd results.
