We looked through Mr. Knecht's foun- dry in West Salisbury, last week, and: found everything looking first-rate. Mr. K. is a natural mechanic, and if he does not make a success of the foundry busi- ness it will be useless for anybody else to try it. Howard H, Keim writes from Ladogs. Ind., that he is doing exceedingly well in the sheep business. He says when it comes to changing the name of this town, put me down for Star City. as it isa convenient and appropriate name and sounds well.” Superintendent Brown, of the Extract works, has our thanks for courtesies ex- tended to us during a recent visit to that elegant plant.

He gays foul brood is prevalent to a great extent among bees, this year, but not so with his, Bishop Bowman, of the Evangelical Association will preach in the M. E. church, in Salisbury, Sunday evening, July 17th. Everybody is cordially inc vited to attend. The Bishop needs no introduction to many of our citizens, as he has preached in Salisbury before and is known to be a very able speaker. 8. C. Gwynne, of Pittsburg, Pa., called at our sanctum on the 4th to get ac- quainted with the editor and subscribe for THE STAR. Mr. Gwynne makes fre- quent trips to Salisbury, for the reason that it is a very healthful and attractive place. He is a very pleasant and intelli- gent gentleman and always meets with a hearty reception. It was a quiet 4th of July in Salisbury, this year, but if all reports are true, which they undoubtedly are, the Grassy Run people had an immense time at their pic- nic. We hear many say that it was one of the most enjoyable picnics they ever attended. The Grassy Run folks know how. to get them np, you see. They are ‘hustlers, over there. What's the matter with Salisbury get- ting up a big harvest home picnic? The Lonaconing band, which has twenty-eight members in it, will come here to join in the festivities, free of charge. save their expenses. There are lots of people down that way who say they want to see our town and country and will come up, if we get up a picnic and inyite them. It is reported to THE STAR that Jake Opel has forged a note for $500 and skipped for parts’ unknown. It is said that he forged Sam ‘Baylor's name and through it secured W. H. Hay’s name, then sold the note to John Hocking, of Meyersdale. Opel also let Henry Loechel down for $67, Loechel having some time ago gone his security for that amount. The following officers were installed by Grand Deputy P. P. Ritter, at the last meeting of Star lodge Knights of Pythias: Chancellor Commander, Dr. A. M. Lich: ty; Vice Chancellor, J. W. Coleman: Prelate, Levi Lichliter; Master at Arms, N. Brandler; Keeper of Records and Seals, 8. R. McKinley, Master of Fi. nance, E. H. Lambert; Treasurer, Har- vey Hay: Inner Guard, T. Wagner; Out- er Guard, B. 8. Koontz. The calamity paper over at Berlin says: “A troupe from the backwoods, where they have no printing offices, showed in town this week and forgot the printers, bat it didn’t draw much of a crowd. We are told it was very thin.” This is a clear case of sour grapes. for the same troupe Isho ed in Sxcellent church. against Father Mollinger or any other ehlcriatiments.. The printers in Salis- bury were not forgotten, as was the case with the Berlin printers. and all because the Salisbury printers get out a newspa- per which the people read and subscribe for. The Jolliffe & Hirshhorn Comedy Co. played four nights, last week. in the Sal- isbury opera house. The company played to a crowded house each night. The company was pronounced a good one. The feats J ormed by the Hirshhorn brothers were pronounced extra good. On Baturday night the company showed for the benefit of the band, as the boys furnished the music for the show. each night. The Jolliffe & Hirshhorn Co. ap- preciate favors, but there are people who do not. : A. J. Endsley, of Somerset. was a pleas- ant caller at our sanctuin one day last week. Mr. Endsley talks of delivering a lecture in our opera house, at some future time, and by what we hear of him asa lecturer, we believe he would draw a good crowd here, Mr. Endsley also talks of bringing Tariff Bill McKinley here to make a speech during the campaign, which we hope he will do. He had a nephew of Governor McKinley's with him while here, a bright little lad of about 10 years, whose acquaintance we were glad to make. We understand that some of onr Cath- olic friends were displeased a few weeks ago when THE 8TAR pronounced Father Mollinger a fraud, and that they seemed to think that we pronounced him a fraud just because he was a Catholic. - They are mistaken, for THE STAR is not prej- ndiced against any church. We pro- nounced Mollinger a fraud because we believed him a fraud, and had he been a Protestant, our remarks would have been the same. So far as church is concerned, we do not belong to any church, do not hold to any church and do not think that we will ever join any church. Yet we believe that there is much good in all churches, and it is with pleasure that we say (and we can say it truthfully) that our Catholic citizens in this vicinity aver: age up as well in good citizenship and Christianity as‘the members of any other This paper never had anvthing man on account of his religious faith. Sad Death of Geo. W. Robison. One of the saddest deaths that occurred in this fown for a long time was that of Geo. W. Rabigon, which took place on Monday mornihg. The circumstances were as follows: On Thursdav evening lart Mr. Robison was helped to liquor by some one, not being able to procure it himself at any of the hotels, and he got on a spree which he kept up all week. On Sunday while undergoing the headache and other dis- comforts which occur when sobering up, he took morphia powders to help him over the debauch, and not knowing how much to take, he took an overdose and the drug proved fatal to him. Dr. Lichty was called shortly after midnight, when his condition was first discovered, but it was too late and death occured early on Monday morning. The doctor pro- nounced it a clear case of morphia pois- oning, and as he found that his whole supply of that drug was missing. it is be- lieved that Mr. Robison went to the of- fice for medical aid to help him over his spree. as he had done several times bLe- fore, and finding the doctor absent, helped himself. This is in all probability cor- rect, and there is no use in saying that this man or that that man is responsible for his death, for none of us know just where the responsibility rests. Of course the person or persons who procured the liguor for the poor man are to a certain extent responsible for this awful occur- rence, and this shonld be a warning to all never to procure liquor for any man who is addicted to the habit of drinking liquor as a beverage. Taste not, touch not, handle not, is undoubredly the best and safest motto at all times, and the man who lives up to that motto is al- ways on the safe side, so far as the liquor traffic and its pernicious influences are concerned. But the evils of intemper- ance have always existed and likely al- ways will exist. Neither Christ nor his apostles ever asked any man to sign a temperance pledge, but they admonished the people to be temperate in-all things. If a man doesn’t see fit to neither taste, touch nor handle, he should at least be temperate and inind well that he does not help any poor mortal to liquor whose appetite for liquor is greater than his moral courage to refuse it when he has enough, The funeral took place on Tuesday af- ternoon, Rev. Bilas Hoover officiating. The deceased was aged 52 years, 8 months and 28 days. Geo. W. Robison was a native of Mary- land, but moved to Salisbury about 15 or 16 years ago, where he resided until death. Mr. Robison, aside from his occasional intemperance, was a good citizen and a noble man. He was industrious, honest, truthful, generous, peaceable in liquor or out of it—in fact be was one of na- ture’s noblemen and few men had more | respectable citizens for friends. Poor, weak man! He never harmed anyone but himself, and the writer hereof believes that the soul of Geo. W. Robison is at peace with God. The writer would ten thousand times rather go to his grave with a record such as Mr, Robison had 42. with the record of a man who is al- ays véry good to himself and harmful to his fellow men—who defrauds his fel- low men, maligns them and wrongs them in many ways, either for i or other ‘purposes. We are all b have our faults. Mr. Robison had his weakness in being too fond of liquor; some of us have ours in something else, or perhaps in the same thing: but taken all in all, humanity is much the same and what becomes of us after death we know not. The prattling infant knows as much about our future state of existence as does the robed priest and learned minister, But mav a merciful God be mereiful to all of us, poor, weak mortals that we are. What a Dunbar Man Has to Say Concern- . ing Some Things Pertaining to Salisbury. J. N. Anderson, of Dunbar, Pa., who was here several weeks ago to assist in instituting our K. P. lodge, gets off the following in the Uniontown News: Thirty-four applicants were initiated and received into the ranks of the order. At 2:35 on the morning of the 21st the Provisional Grand Lodge ceased to exist and Star lodge No. 409 sprang into exist- ence, This lodge is composed. of young men of the very best families, and the intel lectual capacity’ and moral. character of the inhabitants is far above the average Our journey to the little mountain town was pleasant, except the part of it on the pokey Salisbury Junction railroad. The people of Salisbury are pre-eminently hospitable, and admire Pythian Knight- hood. The banquet at the Hay hotel was a thoroughly enjoyable affair. Sal- isbury has a real live editor. We called on him in his sanctum and were made welcome. We asked him how he was prospering. He said he was ‘“Liven- good.” This was not altogether a joke, judging from Editor Livengood’s person: al appearance and surroundings. We left Salisbury with the kindest rec- ollections of her hospitable people. and with high hopes for the prosperity of Star lodge, No. 409.
