A HOST OF RELATIVES PROMINENT
IN PUBLIC LIFE.
Miss Mary lvittera Snyder was
born in Selinsgrove, Union (now
Snyder) county, Pa., (no date given)
and died there Friday, July '11,
PJOO.
In our boyhood days, among our
earliest acquaintances was Miss
Mary K. Suyder, who was then the
postmistress of Selinsgrove. She
was a lady of fine qualities, though
Unite reserved and never of late
years mingled much with h e r
friends. The weight of years im
posed their burden, lint in her heart,
she cherished a love tor her Creator
and as a momumeiit to her devotion
to h'T Maker, she erected a church
edifice on the corner of Market and
Snyder sjreet.-, Selinsgrove, which
has lci;ii dedicated to the Triune
God for the use of the Episcopal
church. This act of charity is the
crowning event ot her lite and is a
fitting climax to a life well Biient and
an appropriate honor to her illustri
ous ancestry.
Her mother died when the de
ceased was only two mouths old,
and Miss Mary ami an only sister
were taken to raise by the maternal
grandmother, Mrs. John Wilkes
Kittera of Philadelphia. MissSny
der was educated at Professor Pieot's
French school, at that time the lead
ing seminary for young ladies in
Philadelphia, and was taught all the
accomplishments of a young lady of
high social position. In I860 Pres
ident Grant, at the request of Hon.
Simon Cameron, who was her fath
er's warm friend, appointed her
postmistress of Selinsgrove. She
was re-appointed successively and
served in that capacity for ten years
until J 879 when she resigned. When
Miss Harriet Lane was mistress
of the White House during Presi-
dent Ducnanan s aumimiraiiou,
Miss Mary Snyder frequently was
the welcome guest at the President's
official residence
Deceased is a daughter ol Hon.
John Snyder and grauddaugher ol
Hon. Simon Snvder Governor of
Pennsylvania, 1809-1818, in whose
honor our county has been named.
Her great grandfather, Anthony
Snyder, emigrated from Germany
and settled ill Pennsylvania in 1740
and died at Lancaster in April 1771.
Her grandfather, Simon Snyder,
moved to Selinsgrove in July 1 78-1
and became proprietor of a null and
a store. He served as justice of the
Peace 12 years; in 1789 was elected a
member of the constitutional coven
tion: in 1 was elected a memlier
of the Legislature and in 1S02 was
elected speaker of the House of Re
presentatives. He served as speaker
until he was elected Governor.
After having served astiovernor he
served one term in the state senate,
and died Nov. 'J, 1KPJ.
Hon. John Snyder, father of the
deceased, when only P. years of age,
raised,! company during the war of
1812, and marched with them as
captain to Baltimore. They arrived
at Harnsbiirg fietore daylight, and
were halted liefore the Governor's
loor. He arose from his bed and
welcomed them, and with stirring
words complimented their bravery.
He always said, in speaking of the
circumstance, he never before had
felt so proud ol his sod, John.
Hon. John Snyder married, June
11, 1818, Mary Louisa Kittera,
daughter of Hon. John Wilkes Kit
tera of Lancaster, Congressman dur
ing the administration of General
Washington, and until the election
of Thomas Jefferson, in 1801, when

THE FAD OF THE YEAR.
If You Have the Poster Craze
Here is Your Opportunity.
Everybody who is anybody, and
that means all nice people, is inter
ested in the poster decorative idea.
It has so many forms that it would
be almost an endless task to attempt
a list, but the Great Philadelphia
Sunday "Press" has taken hold of
one possibility that is certain to get
everybody in this section talking.
With every copy of the Philadelphia
"Press" of next Sunday, (August 5)
will le given free a beautiful pic
ture,size 2n.28 inches entitled "The
Maids of Fair Japan." It is by
Arter, and that guarantees its qual
ity. As a picture it is well worthy
ot framing, but ii you wish to be in
the swim you will take a pair of
scissors cut around the lines of the
girls' faces and the floweis, and then
paste the picture ou a dark back
ground of any material. Try it and
you will have the most striking
poster effect of the year. It will lie
necessary to make certain early in
this week (hat you can get next
"Sunday's Press," because the de
maud is certain to be tremendous
and the supply is limited.

Farmers Victimized.
A number of farmers in the vi
cinity ol Muucy, Lycoming county,
have been victimized by a parly ot
men representating themselves to be
of the "Ball bea ring Churn Com

make a butter inside ol two minutes.
The men gave demonstration and
sold their churns at 7 each and also
disposed of territorial rights at a
price as hili as $200.
The farmers tried t" make butter
with the churn and found that they
could not do so under an hour's
time. They have conic to tin; con
clusion that the men who victimized
them used chemicals to make the
butter gather. They now find the
papers given the men have been ne
