They brought with them a few samples of their coal that to our estimation is “0 K.,” and we presume they will make local shipments to the eastern markets. —~Carleton (Neb.) Leader. Last Saturday night some of the good people of the town got up a dona- tion party for Widow Null, who resides on Grant street. Mrs. Null was made the recipient of many things for her table, as well as some other gifts, and . THE Star has been requested to state that she is very thankful to the many kind friends who contributed to the donation. Charles Boucher and family, and John Boucher, all of Duquesne, Pa. were guests at the W. H. Boucher home several days during the past week. Stanley Boucher, who has em- ployment at Friendsville, Md. also eame home to spend Christmas. George would have been here, too, but eould not come on account of the arrival of a young son at his home. Pennsylvania, which makes more * than half the iron used in the United States, produces less than 3 per cent of the iron ore mined. Ohio, which comes next to Pennsylvania as an iron-maker, mines less than .01 per cent of the total. In both cases the ore is brought to the fuel; and this is the policy in this] eountry. Only in Alabama are the ore and fuel found together, says the Seci- entific American. ManZan is the Pile Remedy that reaches the spot and stops all pile pain instantly.

Garlitz, of King- wood, W. Va., were brought to town on Christmas day by H. C. Farner, of Sand Patch. They came here to visit relatives and friends for a few days. All of the native citizens of Salisbury will remember “Tom” Garlitz, and his wife, who is a daughter of Herman Farner. Both Mr. and Mrs. Garlitz have many warm friends here who are always pleased to entertain them. A young man took a lady of pro- nounced temperance opinions to the theatre one evening, and as the cur- tain rang down after the first act, he left his seat, remarking, >I think I hear the fire alarm; I'll go and see about it.” He returned a few minutes later and saiC: “Well, it was not a fire.” “And it wasn’t water,” tartly replied the lady. Next time she went with him she stayed at home like a sensible girl,—Cumberland Courier.

She was aged 38 years, ¥ months and 7 days, and was the mother of fourteen children, ten of whom survive her. Deceased is also survived by her hus- band. The youngest child is 2 years old, and the oldest 21. The funeral serviee was held on the 21st inst., con- ducted by Rev. A. K. Travis, of the M. E. ehureh. Much sympathy is felt for the stricken family. A young men who has not been many years a benedict, earefully laid aside a piece of bread, the other night, and said to his wife: “I wish you could make bread such as mother used to make.” The young wife smiled and re- marked in a voice that did not tremble: “Well, John, I wish that you eould make the “dough” that father used to make.” A hush as silent as death fell suddenly, John almost lost his breath, and the “dough” question has not come up for family discussion since. Look out for Coughs, Colde, Croup and Whooping Cough. They are dangerous at this season of the year. They lead to pneumonia or consump- tion. You can prevent or cure all sueh complaints with Bee’s Laxative Honey and Tar—an improvement over all cough, lung and bronchial remedies: and the best Cough Syrup. 3-1 About forty of the strikers at Coal Run turned out at the funeral of Mrs Samuel Mason, last week, which was right and proper, as: Mr. Mason is a steadfast member of the miners’ union. But, if it is true, as reported, that about ten of the funeral attendants made for the saloons and got stinking drunk immediately after the last sad rites were performed over the remains of a brother’s dead wife, too much cen- sure eannot be pronounced upon those showing so little respect for them- selves. A western store advertises “white goods for sale,” and adds: “One of these nights a mouse will gnaw a match on your pantry shelf, dear sister, and the fire will spread till it reaches your room, and you will escape with your life, clad only in 1: ur night gar- ments. Such a spectacular opportunity to create a sensation doesn’t oceur oftener than once in a lifetime, and how will you make it? Dear sister, will your night clothing be such that the firemen will want to plunge into the flames and die? Or will you look like the pictures on the bill boards?

Ellet is one of our old schoolmates, and he is one of the many of that num- ber now filling responsible positions. For many years he has been a very prominent telegraph operator in the Smokey City, but the old home ties still have a strong hold on him, and once or twice a year he comes to Salis- bury to visit his aged father, Mr. Wm. Smith, as well as other relatives and friends. He is always given a hearty welcome, and the many old school- niates and friends are always glad to see him.

All present en- joyed themselves immensely, and the supper was one that reflected great credit on the culinary artists. The presents were numerous and handsome, and all departed feeling that it was good to have been there, at the same time wishing Mr. and Mrs. Ringler many more wedding anniversaries as happy as the last one. One feature of the evening was the baptism of the in- fant son of Mr. and Mrs. Ringler, Rev. A. K. Travis, of the M. E. church, per- forming that religious rite in a very impressive manner. C. T. Hay and C. A. Wilt recently el- fected a deal whereby Mer. Hay gets possession of the Wilt variety store and building, valued at about $10,000, in- cluding all the storg goods and e stock of vehicles, while Mr. Wilt gets pos- session of 58 acres of the best portion of the land Mr. Hay bought last year from 8. P. Maust. The land is a por- tion of the farm that formerly belonged to Milton J. Beachy, lying east of the Salisbury and Meyersdale road, and ad- joining Salisbury borough on the north- east. The 58 acres now in possession of Mr. Wilt were figured into the deal at $7,000. Mr. Hay took possession of the store on the 19th inst., snd he will soon greatly improve the building, which is already a fine one. A number of young men of this eity know the taste of baked porcupine, and also know that it is good fodder for mail. They acquired their knowledge, however, through the unspeakable de- ceit of that arch conspirator of River- side Park, Col. Edward Sutherland. The Bradford young men were invited by tha corpulent colonel to partake of baked rabbit at his hostelry, and the young men were tempted. They made a hearty meal of savory meat, aug mented by other festal details, and proclaimed themselves to the effect that the colonel was the one and only rabbit ehew in the country. Imagine their consternation on being told that their meal comprised not rabbit, but hedgehog. And they think they are mighty hurters and know all about rabbits, too.—Bradford Reeord. Riehard Kent, the young English- man who was badly hurt in Meager’s mine, some time ago, mention of which was made in THE STAR at the time, re- quests us to return his sincere thanks to all who have generously aided him since his mishap. For the benefit of the unfortunate young man, the fol- lowing amounts were contributed last week: By the employes of Meager’s mine, $43.75; by the employes of the Chapman mine, $12.50; by citizens of Salisbury, $8.50. Mr. Kent is deeply’ grateful, and as he eannot thank his many sympathizers in person, he thanks them through the medium of Thar STAR, which is a true and sym- pathetic friend to every honorable working man, and espeeially to those who have been unfortunate. Mr. Kent is improving nicely, we are glad to say, and we trust that he will soon be able to be about again. John Blanchard, who has been one of our many reliable, oash-paying sub- scribers for a number of years, gave us a handsome necktie for a Christmas present. We thank John very much for the gift, and since wearing it we have no trouble in getting a stand-in with all the pretty women in town. We have some good friends over at Coal Run that have threatened to give us a rope necktie if we don’t quit =»x- pressing opinions on the strike that conflict with their own befogged ideas, but we are not losing any sleep on that account. A good hemp neektie is what some of them need themselves; not on account of the strike, in particular, but on general principles. If cowardly curs that write anonymous threatening letters all had their dues, they would have-hemp neckties properly adjusted by the sheriff. That’s about what some of them will get, too, in due time. A saloon-keeper once said: Do you want to know how I happened to go into the saloon business? Well, I will tell you. I used to run a dry goods store. One day a man eame in and wanted to look at some cheap socks. I showed him some that were ten eents a pair. He asked me if I didn’t have something cheaper. I got down some that were five cents a pair. He looked at them for some time, and finally in- sisted that they were too expensive, and went out. I happened to step to the door and saw him go inte the sa- loon, and followed him out of curiosityg There were several persons in the sa- loon, and the man called them up and treated. He spent 80 cents for booze! I concluded when a man kicked on buying socks at five cents a pair, and was held later, and a new appointee is daily expected to be certified to Post- Rockwood Gazette. immediately spent 80 cents for booze, that the saloon business was the busi- master Miller by the department.— |nessI wanted to engage in, so I got in- Marx Wineland, President.
