ed, it is the opinion of officials of the

PAVING DECISION.
Judge Galbreath on Monday gave an
opinion sustaining the exceptions of the
Town Council to the last Borough Aud
itors' Report, surcharging the Council
with |440 on the paving of Race St ;
$825.14 on the pavinsr of MMVW ■
s2r.,r; ... *-■ - w
Ziegler Ave. These amounts repre
sented rebates allowed to property hold
ers on these streets on their paving as
sessuienta. The streets were occupied
by the Butler Passenger Ry. Co. They
were paved on contracts let by the
Council, the Street Car Co. gave the
Borough checks for th'j cost of paving
between the tracks and one foot on each
side. This amount was deducted from
the total cost of paving, and the borough
paid one-third of the balance and the
property holders the remainder in their
proportionate shares. The auditors
held that the council had no right to
give the property holders the benefit
of the amounts paid by the Street Car
Co. and therefore made the surcharges.
The Council then filed exceptions
Judge (Jalbreath held that if the Street
Car Co. had paid all the cost, the prop
erty holders would have been" entitled
to the benefit and therefore were en
titled to the benefit of a payment of
part of the costs.

Letter to J W Hnworth,
Butler, Pa.
Dear Sir: A man fed his hens half
meal and half sawdust;he thought they
wouldn't know the difference. He con
cluded they did when the eggs hatched
woodpeckers.
Another man painted his house with
a paint that was made of half paint-sub
stitutes. He didn't know the difference
—not till he paid the painter.
He had 20 gallons to pay-for, 20 in
stead of 10. Got fooled |12.50 on the
paint.
He had 20 days' wages to pay-for, 20
instead of 10. Fooled SSO iu wages.
He got a poor job besides. He paid
too much for his eggs, and they hatched
woodpeckers.
Yours truly

A Crown of Thorns—.Sept. S>th.
| There is too much pathos and senti
ment in real life and often too much of
the tragic, consequently a play that
contains thrills anil surprises that are
naturally conceived and coherently il
lustrated and possessing un abundance
of wholesome comedy and a grateful
absence of stage horrors in the tragic
and pathetic lines is more eagerly
sought after by the more intelligent
class of playgoers. "A Crown of
Thorns the comedy drama that is bill

Give Gypsy Dances,
Among the special attractions an
nounced for the Barnum& Bailey circns
when it exhibits in this city Monday,
Sept. 10th, is a troupe of eight men and
women artists from Scandinavia, who
aie known as "The Gitanas." The en
tertainment is described as being of a
wonderfully versatile character A re
view of these clever- people gays
"Dressed in their picturesque Nation
al'or Gypsy costumes, this interesting
troupe produces the sweetest melodies
imaginable from all sorts of instru
ments, interspersing their musical ex
ploits with sweet songs p.nd unarming
dances. Among the at tides used to
nroduce harmonies are glasses, bottles
ftnd even such queer things as nails.
They perform most cleverly and artisti
cally upon mandolins, xylophones,
horns, violins, guitars, flutes and pic
colos. Incidental to the music extract
ed from these curious instruments the
clever troniie introduce their national
songs in solos,duets aud quartettes with
the singular and exquisite blending of
strange forest-horns, finally supple
menting their most remarkable series of
exploits with an absorbingly interest
ing exhibition of the man; dances in
vogue with t£e peasants of Sweden,
Norr**a- Ffun'feHry »nd Eoßland. and
those of the gypsy tribes of mt-ny con
tinental countries.''
In the satnfe department may also be
seen the troupe of Lilliputians, comed
ians and artists, who are the smallest
people ever born, two of them not more
than twentv-four inches tall. One can
hardly realize their microscopic propor
tions Besides them >s the command
ing figures of the Welsh giant and the
Finnish giantess. Truly a study in con
trasts. The smallest horse in the world,
a herd of giraffes, three herds of ele
phants, droves of camels, cages of wild
beasts, sacred animals and many other
curious objects ate displayed at the
same time and all are free to visitors, it.
is announced, "without extra charge."
It is evident that lc.oal visitors to the
Barnum <te Baile> circus will have no
cause to complain of a lack of variety,
especially as the management will
make known for the first time here the
new "Peace" spectacle and several
"thrillers" of a most sensational
character.
