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. Va,
“I tried everything with no relief what-
ever, until I procured a bottle of Cham-
first bottle was used I felt like a new
person. Now I feel that I am cured,
i but I always keep a
perlain’s Pain Balm in the house, and
when I feel any symptons of a return I
on drive it away with one or two ap-
| plications of this liniment.” For sale

MURDER SUSPECTED.
Interested Relatives Investigating
the Death of a Somerset
Woman.
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

ADDISON NEWS.
| Horrible Accident on’ Lumber Rail-
way—Death of Well Known
Lady.
April 11th.—Last Friday a horrible
| accident occurred across the line in
| Fayette county. 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. His estimable
wife died about three weeks ago, which
was sad news to her many Addison
friends.

OPPORTUNITY SPEAKS.
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. ;

No Time for Fools.
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.”

One Thing He Learned.
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.
