Reflecting in its widening circulation and increased advertising patronage the prosperity that marks the open- ing of the new year The Pittsburg Times more than ever impresses upon its readers the excellence of iis high standard and the success of its efforts to make a model paper for the individ- ual and for the family. The Times is a newspaper, sparing no pains nor ex- pense to cover the world thoroughly every day, that its current page of his- tory may be complete, and ip its longer range overlooking nothing that oceurs at home. It is clean, dignified and re- liable, certain that no lack of these features can be made up in offensive sensationalism. It can be taken into the family circle with confidence that its columns are filled with wholesome instruction and entertainment. Wher- ever known The Times is recognized as the best type of a concise, crisp and complete newspaper, and among news- paper men it is the publication with which comparisons of excellence are made. While The Times is Republican in politics it realizes that others have a right to be on earth, and that polities are not everything. When one cent a day will buy a morning paper it is fool- ish to be without one. The Times is Three dollars a year or Six cents a week, and worth the money. tf 2.93 LOCAL AND GEN iE RALN J.C.

Henry Leupert, who some time ago had the misfortune to get a leg broken in the mines, is again able to be out, but he will not be ahle to go to work for some time yet. Henry wishes to thank the good people through Tue Star for aid they have been rendering him. Frederick Diehl collected $16.15 for the benefit of Mr. Leupert and his family, and this amount he turned over to Esquire Levi Lichliter, who was made custodian of the funds. Mr. Lichliter has also received two dollars from other sources, and for all this and numerous other favors, Mr. Leupert ind family return their heartfelt thanks A hearing in-the matter of incorpora ion for the village of Scalp kevel was aad before the court last week, but the pS matter seems to be held up by a tangle of interests. The original petition ask- ed for the incorporation under a plan that included what is known as No. 30 Mine, and claimed that there were from 450 to 500 inhabitants within the proposed town, but another set of peti- tioners objected to the taking in of No. 30, and suggested that both Scalp Level and- No. 30 be taken in with Windber under an incorporation. This scheme was probably sprung by the Berwind- White interests at Windber, and it is bitterly opposed by the residents of Scalp Level. Just what the outcome will be is not in sight.—Standard. A pious old Indiana farmer who had enlisted in the war of the Rebellion, was assigned to the duty of teaming, probably by mistake. The roads were muddy and the rest of the teamsters were literally bombarding their charges with oaths. It was against the old man’s principles to.swear, and he held his peace, albeit in impotent rage. At last one of the hind mules balked and refused to advance a step. The old man used every endeaver to urge the beast along, but to no purpose. At last he roared in a loud and solemn voice: “Oh, Lord you know where this mule ought to be as well as anybody. This whole army knows where he ought to be this minute. Ile knows where he ought to be. I know where he ought to be, oh, Lord ; and if he doesn’t move in a minute, I intend to say so, by gun!” ee. 4 Smoking Stunts the Growth of Boys Whatever difference of opinion there may be upon the advisability of smok- ing for men, there is none as to its per- nicious effect upon boys. It affects the the action of the heart and reduces the capacity of the lungs. Young men who are being trained for ath- letics are not permitied to smoke by their trainers because, as they say, “It is bad for the wind.” The argu- ment that will appeal most forcibly to your boy is that smoking will stunt his growth. It has been proved that youth- ful smokers are shorter and weigh less than their comrades who do not smoke. Cigarettes are particularly injurious. Nicotine, the active principle of tobacco, s said by chemists to be, next to prussic acid, the most rapidly fatal poison known. The tender tissues of a grow- ing boy cannot absorb even a very small quantity of it without most in- jurious results.—February Ladies’ Home Journal. oH — bh Resolutions of Respect.

The people of Berlin were shocked, Thursday evening, to learn that one of the boys of town had committed sui- cide. The name of the young man was Allen Earhart, son of Mrs. Ellen Ear- hart. Thursday forenoon, says the Record, Allen went to the store of Dr. Brallier and purchased a box of rat poison, saying his mother had sent him for it. Between two and three o’clock in the afternoon his mother discovered that he was seriously ill and after earn- est effort secured from him a confes- sion that he had taken poison. The mother immediately sent for Dr. Gar- man, who applied a stomach pump and tried, but in vain, to save the boy’s life. Death took place about four o'clock. Allen was about 17 years old. He was the dining-room boy at the Man- sion House, but had been suspended the evening before. This, and the rea- son for his being suspended, is suppos- ed to have been the cause which led the boy to end his existence. It is said that the boy was of a very sensitive nature and that he had frequently, on previous occasions, threatened to com- mit suicide. -~ Sheets Case Held in Consid > ration. The arguments upod the motion for a new trial for Milton Sheets were made on Saturday afternoon. Attorney I. J. Kooser argued in support of the motion, and District Attorney Meyers addressed the Court, opposing the granting of a new trial. The chief grounds urged in support of this motion were that the Court erred in admitting as evidence the made by Sheets to a representative of the Stand- ard, it having been made after a previ- ous confession had been extorted from him by a detective using undue means, and that the Court erred in its charge to the jury, by leaving the im- pression that the defendant must either be found guilty of murder in the first degree or acquitted. The Distriet At torney argued that the admission of the confession was proper, as was the charge of the Court, and Attorney Val- entineHay, of private counsel for the prosecutor, cited a number of similai, cases in support of the District Attor- ney’s position. The Court is holding the matter under consideration, and may not pass upon it before the regular term of court to be held the latter par. of this month.—Standard. i — —- confession also YES, WE CAN !—We can supply cuts suitable for any and all kinds of ad- vertisements and job printing.

The February edition of the Wilkelm Evangel, Rev. E. 8. Hassler, editor, was issued from this office on Monday. It was a very handsome edition and is well received by its many friends and patrons. Followirg are a few items taken from its columns: Mrs. Christena Maust, of St. Paul's church, was very sick during January, so much so that her life was despaired of. We are glad to state that she is now rapidly recovering. The pastor expects to be absent for five days, Feb. 12-16, attending the con- vention of the State Association of School Directors, of which he is Cor- responding Secretary. This conven- tion will be held in the House of Rep- resentatives, in Harrisburg. On the last day of January occurred the Eleventh anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Luke Hay’s marriage. The event was celebrated at the hou.e of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Hay, who gave a dinner in their honor. Other invited guests were present, including the pastor and family. We need not say that it was a delightful time. Itis reported that Mr. and Mrs. Luke Hay will remove from our midst, this spring. We are sorry if this proves true. We still hope they may decide to stay with us,for we would be extremely sorry to see them go away. We enjoyed a trip to Akron, Ohio, on Jan. 20 to Jan. 28, and again were granted the great pleasure of visiting in the homes of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Hay, and Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Stotler. On Sunday we conducted services and preached morning and evening in Grace Reformed church, in Akron. This church is now without a pastor, and the expenses of our trip were paid for our services in supplying them at this time. We met many nice and good people. Our friends there are nicely situated. Their business interests are prospering. They are fixing themselves in comfort- able homes, and no doubt will make the place their permanent residence. A teacher beirg asked how many scholars were in his Sunday school, re- plied: “If you multiply the number of Jacob’s sons by the number of times which the Israelites compassed Jericho on the Seventh day, and add to the pro- duct the number of measures of barley which Boaz gave Ruth, divide this by the number of Haman’s sons, subtract the number of each kind of unclean beasts that went into the ark, multiply by the number of men that went to seek Elijah after he was taken to heaven, subtract frem this Joseph's age at the time he stood before Pharoah, divide by the number of stones David selected to kill Goliath, subtract the number of furlongs that Bethany was distant from Jerusalem, multiply by the number of anchors cast out at the time of Pauls shipwreck, subtract the number of peo- ple saved in the ark, and the remainder will be the number ot scholars in the school.” How many were there? Bother Enough. The red-nosed vagrant stopped the preoccupied citizen at the street cor- ner. “Beg pardon, I ask—" “You may ask if you want to,” in- terrupted the preoccupied citizen, “but I can’t tell you. I don’t know when the blamed century begins.” And he hurried on.—Ex That’s What We Would Like to Know.
