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.

One of Satisbury’s Best Citizens
Passes Away.
On Tuesday evening, the 9th inst.. at
at 8:45 o'clock. the death angel visit-
ed the household of Rev. and Mrs. J. F.
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.

are excellent in the case of Mrs. Jen-
nie Duncan, of Haynesville, Me., now

as well and strong as a young girl”

Frostburg Gets Bad Wabash News.
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.
