As to the use hellebore for this purpose, Professor Surface, re plied that he had "found it efflci ent to mix Hellebore and flour for the currant worm, and apply it by dustinp it on the leaves.

The following notice of the death of a former resident of Ful ton county, is clipped from the Daily News Herald of May 10th, published at Braddocir, Pa. "Mrs. Sarah Margaret Booth, at the age of 01 years. 2 months, and 19 days, died at 7 o'clock yesterday morning at the home of Prof. E. M. Gress, principal of the Edgewood public schools, at 7311 Florence avenue, Swissvale, after suffering from paralysis the past 11 years. The immediate cause of death was Bright's dis ease from which she had been ailing for several months. "Mrs. Booth was the mother of Mrs. Gress, and was well known in the Swissvale and Edgewood districts. She was born in Orbisonia, Huntingdon county, Pa , in 1849, and was mar ried in 1870 to John Booth, a mer chant at Dublin Mills Mills, Pa. They re ided in the latter place for a number of years, and then moved to a farm near McConnells ourg, Pa., where they lived until Mr. Booth's death in 1901. "Mrs. Booth came to Swissvale two years ago, and has made her home since with her daughter, Mrs. Gress. She was a lifelong member of the Methodist Episco pal church, and is survived by four sons and one daughter, Mrs. Gress; Jehu Booth of Dublin Mills, Pa.; Emory Booth of Al- toona, Pa.;"Blaine of Conemaugh, Pa., and Gilbert of Swissvale. "She also leaves two brothers, and a sister, Mrs. Jane Devore of McVeytown, Pa.; and Messrs. Matthew and Joseph Shinebrook of Shade G?p, Pa. "The funeral service were held this afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the home of Prof, and Mrs. Gress, conducted by the Rev. H. N. San- ners, pastor of the Swissvale Methodist Episcopal church, af ter which the body was tanen to Fulton county, and interred in the Old Cromwell Graveyard be tween Dublin Mills and Maddens ville, on Tuesday afternoon, May 17th." , Alloway. It was with a pang ol sorrow that we learned of the death of Newton II. Alloway, of Waterfall, this county, which occurred at the Sanatorium at Roaring Springs, Pa , on last Friday After having suffered for three years from a complication of dis eases, it was decided that be go to the Roaring Springs Sanator lum for treatment. The benefit expected did not materialize, and in eleven days from the time he entered, he was a corpse. His remains were brought to his late home, the funeral toon place MondayAnd interment was made in the cemetery at Center church. The Jaree number of people who attended the funeral was an evidence of the esteem in which the deceased was held "Newt" as he was familiarly known, possessed a personality that won to him the friendship of everyone with whom be came in contact. He was born near Waterfall, spent his entire life in that vicinv ty, and at the time of his death was aged 42 years, 4 months, and 10 days. On the first day of September 1890, he was united m marriage to Miss Alice, daughter of the late Josiah Witter, and to this un ion were born 8 children 7 of whom are living. The deceased is also survived by eight brothers and three sisters, namely, Rich ardL , married to Ida Gracey Charloa W., married to Nina Cutrhall; Samuel S., George W. of Pittsburg, Daniel K., Walter K., tud Chesnut all single, and Laura M., wife of Daalol M. Black Has 20 Great-Grand-Children. Dr. Job B. Mellott, who lives at Cross Roads in Belfast township, accompanied by his daughter Miss Flora Belle, spent a day m town last week. While the Doc tor is in the 75th year of his age, he is spry and active as one half his years, and looks as though he might be good for a hundred. A few weeks ago he attended the Hanks sale near Emmaville, where he bought a fine young cot, but the cow was so wild that it took a half dozen men to keep her in the barnyard while a rope halter was being attached to her head so that she might be remov ed to Mr. Mellott's home, a dis tance of some ten or twelve miles When everything was ready, Mr. Mellott took hold of the rope and started for the Cross Roads, and while the cow got gay on his hands several times, she at last recognized that she was in strong hands, and gave up the contest, and Mr. Mellott walked every step of the distance, and landed the cow at his home. The Doctor comes from aline of ancestry noted for longevity his father, Benjamin Mellott, liv Ing to the age of 80, and his uncle Jacob to the age of 97. In his father's family were thir teen children, all of whom are now dead but the Doctor; in fact, so the Doctor informed us, his par ents, all his uncles and aunts, all his cousins but D. S. Mellott, of Licking Creek township, and all his brothers and sisters have passed to the other world. Dr. Job is the father of 12 chil dren, 10 of whom are living; and he has 38 grand-children and 20 reat-grandchildren. MR. FOCHT'S PUBLIC RECORD. Having Gained State Reputation, He Is Now Regarded as One of the Republi can Leaders in Congress. The Republicans of this Dis trict are asked to vote against Benjamin K.

Here are a few ot the things Mr. Focht has accomplished in public life. It is a record that no man need be ashamed of, neither should any Republican be asham ed to vote for such a man.

While Mr. Gress had been in failing health for several months, it was only on Monday of last week that his condition caused the serious apprehension of his family; and from the symptoms, it is probable that death resulted from strangulation ot the bowels The deceased was, from his boyhood, a consistent member of the Reformed church, and for many years was organist in the choir of that church in McCon nellsburg.

Mr. Focht took the bill after it had been badly de feated, and was thought forever dead, got it on the calendar, had nearly one hundred amendments inserted on second reading, con sumed a whole evening's session and passed it finally by a fair vote He has hundreds of letters from dentists and others all over the State commending his exceeding ly skillful management of this piece of legislation. His speech in favor of allowing school houses to be used as plac es of worship was the sensation of the session. At 1 o'clock in the morning in a stormy House he had this defeated bill reconsid ered and passed. It met a great need of the United Evangelical congregations of the State at the time, and made Mr. Focht con- spicueus as a champion of the fullest opportunity for rengiou worship. The history of the State has nevr seen so many bills in the Interest of the grand army of workmen pass at single session as was the case in 1H.) These bills includo measures that reg ulate almost every character of indus try in the State, and many of thorn are of the greatest importance. Besides these bills there were a number of min or measures, principally appropria tions, for hospitals and other institu- tlons, that are of Indirect benefit to the working people, which were pass ed through the Legislature and secur ed executive approval. Altogether it was a remarkable Legislature for the enactment of labor laws. Section 4 of the Pennsylvania Stat utes, as amended In WSl, which has driven quack doctors and medical fuk Irs from the State, was Introduced and successfully put through the Legisla tive mill by Congressman Focht.
