BEATTY’S PIANOS AND ORGANS.
Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, the great Organ and
Piano manufacturer, is building and shipping
wore Orgaus and Pianos than ever. In 1870 Mr.
Beatty left home a penniless plow-boy, and by
his indomitable will he has worked his way up
si As to sell so far, nearly 100,000 of Beatty's Or-
gauss and Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked any ordinary man forever,
he turns to an advertisement nnd comes out of it
brighter than ever. His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to be found ind
all parts of the world. We are informed that
during the next ten years he intends to sell
© 200 000 more of his make. that means a business
of $20,000,000 if we average them at $100 each.
ft is already the largest business of the kind in
existence—8end to Daniel F. Beatty, Washing-
ton, New Jersey, for Catalogne.
Pianos, Organs and Sewing Machines.
I'he man who bath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems aud spoils;
Let no such man be trusted.”
Of course you are not as bad as that and you
like music whether it is the thump of the piano,
the strain of the organ or the hum of the sewing
machine. If so, yon will hear something to your
advantage by calling on us at Tux Strap office.
We have the inside track on these goods and we
don’t cure how many people know it. Manufae-
turers of pianos, organs and sewing maehines
“like to pay for their advertising in trade and we
slike to make the trade when we can sell the goods.
Do you see why we ean give you inside prices?
Pick out the piano, organ, or sewing machine you
want. go elsewhere and get prices. then come to
nx and we will save you moaey. Call at once at
‘Pag Star office and see the handsome Parlor
Pipe Orgall we have on hand now. It is one of
the finest and best instruments made, The ecata-
logue priee of it is $500, but you will be surprised
when yo Jearn how much less than that we can

Taffy pullings will take the place of
surprise parties, in this burg, for the

One of Boynton’s citizens was placed
in a dangerons position in this way: He
heard a noise in the stable and he went
to learn the ecanse of the disturbance.
He entered the stable, the door of which
was provided with a lock that would
lock the door from the outside, and when
the door closed it closed after him, mak-
ing him a prisoner. A cow had taken
possession of the stable and immediately
guestioned his right there by opening
fire on him with her heels. After con-
siderable parley and occasional yells for
help, his wife came to his gescue. He
is none the worse, save for the hoof prints
on his body. .

and the balance in payments— possession
to be given next spring. Now, Chris,

Some of the farmers in this locality are
scalding their sugar keelers and getting
ready for sngai-making. Some. however,
do not intend to open their camps this
spring, on account of sugar being so
cheap.
Well, what do you think of the sugar
bounty by this time? It looks as though
a man has to have a clerk to keep sc-
count of the sugar business. | I guess you
had better not put in sand and other stuff.

OF the one hundred and =% su-
gar licenses taken out by residents of the
Twenty-third Internal Revenue district
in the spring of 1891, one hundred and
fifty-six were procured by citizens of
Somerset county. This county has been
divided into three districts, and a “sugar
deputy” appointed for each district. Mr.
J. F. Naugle has been appointed for the
Meyersdale district, and will be stationed
at’ Meyersdale. J. W. Landis will be
stationed at Berlin and Franklin B. Bay-
lor at Somerset. During the season any
licensed producer wishing to dispose of
any portion of his product will have to
take it to one of the three above named
officers who will weigh it. At the close
of the season each licensed producor will
be visited by one of the three deputy col-
lectors who will weigh his sugar, assist
him to fill out the necessary blanks, and
will take a sample of his product, which
will besent to alaboratory at Syracuse,
New Yora, where it will be tested; and the
amount of bounty the producer is entitled
to, if any, will be decided upon. The *‘su-
gar deputies” will bbe under control of and
will make their reports to the Collector
of Internal Revenue of the district. —

Washington City is the most beantiful
and the most unique metropolis in the
world, for its streets were planned ‘and
surveyed before a house was erected, res-
ervations were indicated, public building
sites located, avenues marked out, and
the whole plot layed in sanares equal in
size as nearly as they could possibly be.
A French nobleman and traveler lately
said: “Ihave visited the greatest cities
of the world, and I must confess that
Washington City excels them all for
heauty; the Capitol and’ other buildings
are unsurpassed in point of architectural
design. The French love Paris, but Paris
‘bas no streets to compare with Wash-
ington City.”—Ex. 3
