Bro- gan left because he thought it stood him well in hand to do so, and soit did, for had he remained until the next evening he would have been arrested on three or four very serious charges. The other boys left simply because they wanted to take a trip. The day after the primary the Hon.

After May 1st the saloons at the new town of Jennings, Md., will have to quit business. The town is not incor- porated, hence the good people there had little or no protection when the rowdies saw fit to fill up with booze and act worse than savages, and such occasions were very frequent. How- ever, the good,decent, law-abiding peo- ple at Jennings were on the alert, and before the moral lepers who conduct the hell holes knew it, a bill was put through the Maryland Legislature abolishing saloons in the town of Jen- nings and the unincorporated districts surrounding the village. It was a great victory for decency, law and order, and Tie Star congratulates the people of that town and vicinity. Four of Salisbury’s young hopefuls were arrested last Saturday for cruelty to a dumb animal, upon information of Mrs. Luther Woy, who alleged that the young scamps had caught a cat belong- ing to her, lacerated it with a knife, administered turpentine and then set the cat afire. The boys plead guilty to a portion of the charge, but denied setting the cat afire. However, as the cat was badly singed, it is very evident than that portion of Mrs. Woy’s charge was as true as the other allegations. Mrs. Woy extinguished the fire, which probably prevented a disastrous con- flagration in the town. The boys were fined $12.50 apiece, which was paid for them after they were in the lockup for a short time. ,If they commit such a serious crime again, it will go very hard with them, and it ought to. HOW TO WARD OFF AN ATTACK OF RHEUMATISM. “For years when spring time came on and I went into gardening, 1 was sure to have an attack of rheumatism and every attack was more severe than the preceding one,” says Josie McDon- ald, of Man, Logan county, W.

Somerset, Pa., April 8.—There is con- siderable excitement here over the in- vestigaiion into the cause of the death of Mrs. Rufano Kregar, whose vital organs have been sent to Pittsburg for examinations. She was ill six weeks, during which, it is claimed, no relatives were present, and death was pronounc- ed due to cancer of the internal organs. Her husband died 15 days ago. She left no children. After the funeral the will was read. Mrz. Kregar bequeathed the bulk of her estate to her physician, Dr. H. 1. Marsden of Somerset. He was also appointed executor. The relatives protest against the probating of the will and have started an investigation into the cause of her death. The cor- oner’s inquest was conducted by Dr. Louther, The verdict will depend upon the report of the Pittsburg chemist. The investigation was started at the instance of William Kregar of Pitts- burg, a relative, who believes she died from unnatural causes. ROBBED THE GRAVE. A startling incident is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphnia, as follows: “I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use county. | man, and what this town needs is more | 1s survived by his wife, and, we think, | Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle made na decided improve- | ment.

It was on a narrow- gauge lumber railway which runs from Gans Station to Wymp’s Gap, the road being a feeder for the B. & O. branch which runs from Connellsville to Weston, W. Va. The grade is very steep, and while coming down the mountain, the engineer lost control of his engine, owing to a wet track. Jos. Graham and James Meyers, who were riding on the log trucks, saw their danger and jumped off. They were not only injured when they struck ground, but before they could regain their feet, the engine left the track, struck Graham and cut him: literally in pieces. Meyers was also struck by the engine and badly injured, but it is believed that he will recover. Gra- ham leaves a wife and seven children. Mr. C. A. Hartzell, of Chicago, is back to his Addison home, where he is going to do some repairing before re- turning to the city.

Yes, I am Opportunity ; But say. young man, Don’t wait for me To eome to you; You buckle down To win your crown, And work with head And heart and hands, As does the man Who understands That those who wait, Expecting some reward from fate— Or luck, to call it so,— Sit always in the 'way-back row. And yet You must not let Me get away when I show up. The golden cup Is not for him who stands With folded hands, Expecting me To serve his inactivity. I serve the active mind. The seeing eye, The ready hand That grasps me passing by, And takes from The good I bold For every spirit Strong and bold. He does not wait On fate Who seizes me, For I am fortune, Luck, and fate, The corner stone Of what is.great In man’s accomplishment. But I am none of these To him who does not seize ; I must be caught, If any good is wrought Out of the treasures 1 possess. Oh, yes, I’m Opportunity : I’m great; I’m sometimes late, But do not wait For me; Work on, Watch on, Good hands, good heart, And some day you will see— Out of your effort rising,— Opportunity. ; —WiLLiAM J.

When George Westinghouse, as a young inventor, was trying to interest capitalists in his automatic brake, the device which now plays so important a part in the eperation of railroad trains, he wrote a letter to Commodore Cor- pelius Vanderbilt, president of the New York Central Railroad Company, carefully explaining tke details of the invention. Very promptly his letter came back to him, indorsed in big, serawling letters, in the hand of Com- modore Vanderbilt,—“I have no time to waste on fools.” Afterwards, when the Pennsylvania Railroad had taken up the automatic brake and it was proving very success- ful, Commodore Vanderbilt sent young Mr. Westinghouse a request to call on him. The inventor returned the letter, indorsed on the bottom as follows: “I have no time to waste on fools.” MAKES A CLEAN SWEEP. There’s nothing like doing a thing thoroughly.

Bishop Potter was preaching one Sunday evening in a small town in the Adirondacks, where he had a summer camp, says the New York Times. When the services were over, a tall, gaunt man, with the air of a back- woodsman, came up to the Bishop with outstretched hand.
