Grier, the first of twelve Conncilmen called to defend the charge of soliciting and ac cepting bribes preferred by the Prose cuting Committee of the Municipal Lea gue. J. S. Harris, of the Captain William L. Sawyer Detective Agency, of New- York, who gained considerable fame by his work in the Parkhurst and Lexow inquisitions, %vho is the star witness of the prosecution, who was the first to take the stand. He testified that he had met Grier,and arming himself with what purported to be credentials from the Philadelphia officers of the Scranton Railway Com pany, proceeded to approach Mr. Grier on the subject of getting the measure through. Incidentally he did. He claimed he gave Mr. Grier sl-4(M> to lie distributed, and that the payment of the money was witnessed by two of his assistants. E. A. Whitney and A. P. Anderson.

A leading magazine repeats the story of a Vermont farmer, who. on a visit to city relatives, is taken to hear a celebrat- j ed actor and company. On being asked his opinion of the acting, he replied:— "Acting! they didn't do no acting, they J were just like home folks. Why down in my part of the country people do that sort of thing every night." It is need less to remark that more sincere praise could not be asked by an actor. It is this same absence of "acting" which characterizes the methods of Hennessy Leroyle in "Other People's Money." Old in education and experience of the better school of art. though compara tively young in years, he has evolved a bit of character work in the aliove pro duction. which, in its way, is inimit able. A Good Game on Saturday. The Danville-Milton foot-ball game, that was scheduled to occur at Milton on Saturday afternoon of this week,will be played in this city owing to the fact that the grounds at Milton have been ensraged by another eleven for this date. Foot-ball admirers in this city will have a chance to see the High school boys play. The fact that the game will be played here, ought to bring out a good sized crowd to root for the local aggregation and cheer them onto vic tory. The boys are practicing every evening and with the experience gained at the Catawissa ought to win. The game will occur atDeWitt's park, and the kick-oil'will be made at 3 o'clock sharp.

Unable to get a jury of women experts Mr. Hummel yesterday made applica tion to have the case sent to a referee, saying that much expert testimony of dressmakers would have to be taken, which would naturally be much involv ed. and of a character which the ordi nary man would not understand. Coun sel for the dressmakers make vigorous objection. Judge Hascoll reserved de cision. Putting food into a diseased stomach is like putting money into a pocket with holes. The money is lost. All its value goes for nothing. When the stomach is diseased, with the allied organs of di gestion and nutrition, the food which is put into it is largely lost. The nutri ment is not extracted from it. The body is weak and the blood impoverish | ed. ' The pocket can be mended. The stomach can be cored. That sterling medicine for the stomach and blood. Doctor Pierce's ({olden Medical Discov ery.acts with peculiar promptness and power on the organs of digestion and nutrition. It is a positive cure for al most all disorders of these organs, and cures also such diseases of the heart, blood, liver and other organs, as have their cause in a weak or diseased con dition of the stomach. ATTACKED BY A PANTHER, It Dropped Upon the Horse of Three Hunters. Altoona.

She Wn* Sy mpatlietic anil Profound ly but Tactful, and a "Grnnde Dame" Withal—A Grateful 12uMl»and*M Tribute. | Mrs. Gladstone's manner was full ol ! grace and charm. The genuine amiabil i ity of a completely unspoiled nature showed itself in every word and look, i Hope Scott has left it on record that she | was a potent canvasser, and no one en j tered more naturally into the frolics ol i the young or the little interests of the i poor. But she was also essentially a ! "gramle dame." Her walk and bearing | as she passed the royal presence at the ' drawing room were long the admiration | of those whose duty obliged them to stand by the throne or in the "general circle," and in her habits, manners and style of speech she was a great lady ol the old school. This quality gave a pe culiar effectiveness to her dealings with pertness, forwardness or undue familiar ity, and when she thought it her duty to ; administer a snub no one snubbed so apt ly. It was impossible for the subject not j to feel the process and equally impossible [ for him (or her) to rebel against it. But j those exercises of social discipline were rare, and, for the rest, Mrs. Gladstone I diffused geniality, good temper and cheer | fulness wherever she went. | Few women of her generation had so [ wide a circle of attached friends. She j was an indefatigable letter writer, and I her correspondence, accumulated through j (>0 years, contained letters of the highest interest from the most famous person ag' S, royal, political and ecclesiastical, ol the present reign. But it was in the home that she excelled. She had been a t devoted daughter and sister; she was to the last an exemplary mother and head : of a family, and when we think of what 1 she was as a wife Mr. Gladstone's words j about the queen's marriage may, with 1 perfect exactness, be applied to his own, : "Even among "happy marriages it was \ exceptional, so nearly did the union of | thought, heart and action both fulfill the ideal and bring duality near to the bor- I dors of identity." From the earliest days | of their married life Mrs. Gladstone ! made her husband's health, not always | so robust as in later years, her prime ! care, and her skill and watchfulness drew I from him the characteristic compliment, ! "My wife is no inconsiderable pliysi l cian." An even more valuable contribu ; tion to his happiness (if not to his suc cess) was the sedulous care with which I she warded off whatever might tend to disturb the "vulnerable temper and im petuous moods" which, 40 years ago, he acknowledged as his own. Their mar ried life was one long honeymoon, and, ' though indeed fully charged with solemn i interests and issues, it had also a jocose ! and genial side which was inexpressibly attractive. No one who ever heard it will forget the quaint enjoyment with which Mr. Gladstone used to sing the j refrain of his favorite "Tinker's Song:" i A ragamuffin husband and a rantipoling wile, ; We'll fiddle it and scrape it through the ups ane downs ol life. i The slightest sketch of Mrs. Glad -1 stone's character would be glaringly in ! complete if it disregarded her religion. This was not a mere aspect or attribute ' of her character; it was the basis of het ' nature and the mainspring of her life. ' Her views were those of the traditionai high Anglican school, which she illus I trated in its characteristic graces of rev | erence, gravity and unobtrusive devotion I But her heart knew no distinctions ol \ sect. She "walked in wisdom towards them that are without," and her lifelong j works of mercy were literally all embrac ! ing. The House of Charity in Soho, the Newport Market Refuge, the Woodford j Convalescent home, the House of Mercy | at Clewer, the Orphange at HawardeD i are only a few of the good works with I which she was intimately connected. On the occasion of her golden wedding Car | dinal Manning wrote: "I have watched you both out on the j sea of public tumults from my quiet j shores. You know how nearly I have agreed in William's political career, espe -1 cially in his Irish policy of the last 20 years. And I have seen also your works of charity for the people, in which, as you know, I heartily share with you. There are few who keep such a jubilee as yours; and how few of our old friends and companions now survive! We have 1 had a long climb up those 80 steps— i for even you are not far behind—and I hope we shall not 'break the pitcher at ; the fountain.' I wonder at your activity | and cudurance of weather. May every i blessing be with you both to the end!" That activity and that endurance were maintained almost to the close, though the great occupations and interests of life ! were gone. In 1889 Mr. Gladstone said: "It would not be possible to unfold in wolds the value of the gifts which the bounty of Providence has conferred upon I me, however unworthy 1 may be, through her." And in his will he wrote, "1 desire I to be buried where my wife can also lie." It was the tribute of a grateful love nobly earned and richly given. Mr. Gladstone's political career awaits the verdict of his ! Tory, hut wherever he is remembered there will also lie remembrance of that pure and courageous spirit which was the guiding star of his fortunes and the good ' angel of his house.- London Times. TTog cholera Is giving the Poland- China territory a let up this year, and ♦.here are fever reports of losses from this source than for several years. As one of the practical means whereby the hogs may be kept healthy the hog lot should be changed each year. Plow up the old lot and crop it and give the pigs new territory each season; then it is best to feed the new corn sparingly, for this fact is well established—that , cholera seems to got in its most de structive work just as the shotes are fed the no\; corn. i Through a large part of the north west the Duchess of Oldenburg apple I will be plentiful tills year. It Is often ! difficult to market a surplus of this fruit at any price owing to the fact that this apple is very short lived. If you have more than you can use, make arrangements to dry them, for they make the very eh .-1 kind of dried apples. Get an apple peeler and corer, cut in thin slices and dry on sheets In the sun or quarter and string them just as your grandmother used to do. Save some in this manner and you will thank us next winter for calling ; your attention to the matter. HUNTER ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
