On All Bars— Take No Other THE new year is very young yet, but the dull thuds caused by fellows falling off the water wagon continue to occur with greater frequency as the days go by. mL Tae Johnstown Tribune says: “There are a good many ways of twisting around a proper name so it won't look like anybody else’s, as for example Smythe. But the limit has perhaps been reached in the case of a member of the well known Heilman family, in a neighboring town, who has made it out Heylmunn.” And thus does the crop of snobs and fit candidates for the lunatic asylums continue to increase. Ix Paraguay the women are in the proportion of seven to one, as compar- ed with the men. The consequence is that the men are taken the greatest care of, and every thing which is un- pleasant or might be risky to the life of a man is done by the women. The streets are cleaned, ships are loaded, oxen are driven by them. If you area hen-pecked husband, by all means go to Paraguay, where the women know how to appreciate men. Two dollars conscience money was received as a Christmas gift by Andrew Nicodemus, of Henrietta, Blair county, from an unknown man, who claimed that Easter night eighteen years ago he and two other boys stole two chick- ens from the Nicodemus hennery. The money came in a letter, in which was placed a note saying the writer expect- ed to go to heaven, and was making amends for his sins. That thief has the proper idea of true repentance, and we believe it is the only kind of‘ repentance that will be considered before the bar of God. If a man steals from another and then asks God to forgive him, in what manner would the mere forgive- ness of the sin restore the wronged man’s stolen property? Itis our idea that a man, in order to gain divine pardon for a crime committed, must first make good to the person he has wronged, or first procure the injured person’s forgiveness, if either is pos- sible. LAST NUMBER OF VOLUME XI. The Star’s Most Prosperous Year— A Few Words to Our Patrons. This issue of THE STAR completes its Eleventh volume, and we take pleasure in saying that the past year has been far the most prosperous that the paper has ever enjoyed. Our advertising, job printing and circulation have all increased hand- somely during the past year, and we shall start volume Twelve witk bright- er prospects than presented themselves at the beginning of any preceding volume. ThaE STAR has long ago passed the ex- perimental stage, and today it is one of the solid business institutions of Salis- bury. For this state of affairs we warmly thank our many good patrons and friends, but even eith all of their patronage, no one should lose sight of the fact that it took much hard work on the part of the editor and publisher to make the paper what it is today. We have built up a business here of considerable magnitude, and we believe we speak the truth when we say that nine out of every ten country publish- ers would have made a flat failure in this field with all the obstacles that we had in our way when we re-established the paper in January, 1898. In addition to obstacles that were in the way at the outstart, we have also had much sickness in our family, es- pecially during the past year, and all in all our expenses have been _enor- mous. Many a faint heart would have given up in despair, but “Peta” Liven- good isn’t built that way, and in spite of the heavy hand of affliction and other galling discouragemente, we have braved the storm and the adverse tides, and through all our handicaps we have kept THE StAr’s credit on a gilt-edge basis and have been meeting our obli- gations with a promptness highly cred- itable to the publisher. We shall inaugurate a few new poli- cies in our next volume, just as an ex- periment. We shall not go into any detnile as to the new policies at this time, but we shall here state that the next volume of THE STAR will be less radical than any of the preceding vol- umes, and more charitable toward its persecutors and unjust traducers. We shall try to pay as little attention as possible to such microbes as are always wont %o lie about and slander the home paper and its editor, and we shall not give them a thorough flaying in our columns unless the provocation is so great ag to almost make such a course a public necessity. But if we do tan anybody’s reputation by being goaded into it, we will promise’ in advance to do a most thorough job of it. And every mother’s son and daughter of you know that we understand just how to do that sort of = job. Criminals and lawbreakers must not think that Tue STAR’s change of policy will in any way shield them or their aets, for it will not. Don’t think for one moment that we are going to con- vert fthe “Twinkler” into a mealy- mouthed journal afraid of its shadow, or afraid to speak out for the right or for the public good, for such will not be the case. We shall continue to “speak out in meetin’” when we think the general public is interested, or its inter~sts are in jeopardy. We also intend to buy a lot of new material during the year 1806, with which to improve the paper and the general equipment of our establish- ment. We trust that our business will continue to increase, so fhat the con- templated improvements will not be a losing venture. In the meantime we wish all our patrons and friends a prosperous and happy year, and to our enemies the same. As for THE Star and its pub- lisher, we shall at all times try to merit the patronage accorded to us, and which we hope will continue to in- crease. Talked Reapportionment. Hon. J. A. Berkey, State Commis- sioner of Banking, and Congressman Allen F. Cooper met with H. M. Kep- hart, Friday, at the Yough House, and talked over the reapportionment of the state. While here both Congressman Cooper and!Commissioner Berkey met a number of their friends. The conference lasted until late in in the evening, when Mr. Berkey left for his home in Somerset, and Con- gressman Cooper left for Uniontown. —Connellsville Courier.

Perry and carried away. to the peace- ful shore beyond, the spirit of the aged husband and futher. Rev. James Finney Perry was born in Huntingdon county, Pa., but when he was seven years old the family went to Punxsutawney, Jefferson county, Pa., where, we understand, he grew to manhood. He entered the ministry of the Meth- odist Episcopal church when quite = young man, and he gave to that de- nomination 49 years of active and ef- ficient service. He was a fluent spedk- er and a most earnest worker in the cause of Christ. Furthermore, his life was an eloquent sermon itself. for he was a most noble man, an exemplary citizen. a loving father and a devored hasband. He located in Salisbury a little over two years ago, and during his residence here gained the esteem and respect of all our people. “None knew him but to love him, None named him but to praise.” Rev. Perry was’ united in marriage to Mary E. Hunter, daughter of David and Mary Hunter, of Tionesta, Forest county, Pa., on Sept. 2nd, 1856. Their union was blessed with three sons and two daughters, all of whom survive their father, except a daughter whe died at the age of three years. De- ceased is algo survived by his devoted wife and three sisters. He was the youngest and last survivor of four brothers, and his age was 75 years and three months. His surviving children are Rev. D. E. 8, Perry, of La Porte, Sullivan county, Pa., Frank J.. of New Castle, Pa., Dr. E. H. Perry, of this place, and Miss Linna Perry, also of Salisbury. The deceased will be laid to rest at New Castle, Pa., tomorrow, in accord- ance with a request made by him a short time before his death. Rev. Perry had been quite ill for a week or more, but his condition seemed to be greatly improved during the last few days he lived, and his recovery was believed to be almost a certainty. His death was, therefore, not expected by the members of his family; but the fates willed otherwise. The end was peaceful and serene, and his gentle, loving soul took its flight during an evening resplendent with the golden and mellow beams of the moon—an evening as beautiful and serene as was the life of the good old man whose death is here chronicled. To his sorrowing family we extend our deepest sympathy, and by the death of Rev. James F. Perry, Salisbury has lost one of its most estimable and ex- emplary citizens. MAY LIVE 100 YEARS. The chances for living a full century are excellent in the case of Mrs. Jen- nie Duncan, of Haynesville, Me., now 70 years old.

The following appeared in last week’s issue of the Frostburg Mining Journal: “The report, apparently well anthen- ticated, that the Wabash railroad will get no nearer town than Borden mine, possibly Allegany, probably Moran- town—for all are on a level, is a dis- tinct disappointment to the ‘people of Frostburg. The Journal has not time to.say more, but the peo) le should ‘get together’ quick as possible and know a better reason why than is yet apparent.” The above, while it is bad news for Frostburg, may prove to be good news for Salisbury, for if, as is generally sup- posed, the Wabash is aiming to get a route from Georges Creek to the Cas- selman Valley, the avove item would indicate that the new road will leave Frostburg to the north and tap the Casselman Valley between Grantsville and Salisbury, instead of between Sal- isbury and Meyersdale. For some time a lot of engineers have been run- ning lines in the New Germany settle- ment, in Garrett county, Md., heading toward the Casselman river and the National pike. This would indicate that Salisbury stands a good chance te become a Wabash town. HALF THE WORLD WONDERS how the other half lives.
