Holbert and N. B. Me- Griff, of Somerset, and Dr. Harmer D. Moore, of New Lexington, as conferees to represent him in the Congressional conference, the date of which has not been announced. ——— me EMERY has not yet explained how he | manages to stand on the Democrat platform, which eulogizes Bryan and denounces Roosevelt, and on the Lin- celn platform, which indorses Roose- velt. It is an attempt to carry water on both shoulders, which will not de- ceive the people.—Bedford Inquirer. Tue lid has been lifted from the State Treasury by the champion lid- lifter, Berry. and it was all there,— fourteen millions of it. Yet Berry owes his position to the fact that the people believed the wild tales he spread over the state, last fall, about the State Treasury, and which have since turned out to be untrue. As a fakir Berry is in a class by himself.—Bedford In- quirer. : Rev. SiLas C. Swarrow, of Harris- burg, is bringing the anathemas of the Fusion press upon his head by resisting the indorsement by the Prohibition party of Lewis Emery, Jr., for Gover- nor. Yet Mr. Swallow is right, and every Prohibitionist who is a member of his party from honest motives must acknowledge it and hold up his hands. If the Prohibition party stands for any- thing, it is for the destruction of the liquor traffic, and Emery does not in any sense stand for that, else he could not have said that in his home town of Bradford he would have subscribed to help build a brewery as he would a school house, church or hospital. A man who would deliver himself of such an utterance is unworthy of any good citizen’s support. Should the Prohibi- tion party indorse him, and he be elected, that party couldn’t hope to in- fluence his administration or gain more than the contempt of all honest re- formers, whose slogan is for God and home and native land.—Quemahoning Sentinel. Did This Fellow “De’’ You? A smooth-tongued fakir was plying his trade in Salisbury about two weeks ago, and he succeeded in fleecing some of our citizens by pretending to be an agent for the Pittsburg Post. His scheme was to offer the Post for several months and give a handsome gold- plated brooch containing the photo- graph of the subscriber, or of any mem- ber of his family, his best girl or any other friend, as a premium. The cost of paper, brooch and all was to be only $1.00, payable in advance, of course. The rascal succeeded in pick- ing up quite a number of dollars and photographs here, but as yet his viec- tims have not received the brooches, papers or return of the original photo- graphs. The same fellow is said to have since been plying his trade in Friendsville, Md., but posed there as an agent for the Pittsburg Press, and it is said that officers are on his trail. A STORM IS BREWING. People who go about trying to de- fame and blacken the character of others, would do well to sweep before their own doors, as the old saying puts it. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones, but they are usually the very ones who are first and foremost in trying to injure others. Some Salisbury and Elk Lick people have lately been taking a very promi- nent part in trying to injure and be- smirch others, owing to petty, little po- litical and personal differences, and the day of retribution will be sure to overtake them sooner or later, and then they’ll feel about as small as a mosquito’s toenail, but no smaller than they are. Among those we have reference to are people who got married because they had to; some who fathered illegit- imate children before they were mar- ried. and fathered no legitimate ones after marriage; some who have at various times been boasting of having improper relations with other men’s wives; yet being married men them- selves; some who have very near kin who got into scrapes that cost them hundreds of dollars, to say nothing of the great scandals caused in family, church and comraunity, which people have not yet forgotten; some who are libertines, deadbeats and worthless drunkards. Some of them have also committed the grossest of immoralities, but because they think no one knows of their secret crimes, want to carry their heads high. But never mind, they shall be humhled in due time, if they insist in bringing humiliation upon themselves by lying about and trying to injure others. The people we have reference to should feel devoutly thankful for the things we know about them and can prove, but have never printed. Are they not a pretty lot to run about and scandalize others? If some of them get into the courts and behind the bars, where they ought to be, or one of these days see their evil deeds made public in the newspapers, they need blame no one but themselves. Such people should be satisfied when their evil deeds are accorded a happy oblivion, but they seldom are, and’theyfgeneral- ly traduce others until they bring a deluge of shame, remorse and just punishment upon themselves. There's a storm brewing, and only the speedy reform of certain character assassins in this community can avert it. Wabash Line Decided Upon—Work May Be Started Within a Month. J. Q. Barlow, engineer in chief of the construction of the, Wabash railroad in this section, accompanied by W. H. Kennedy, consulting engineer of Pitts- burg, and F. A. Parsons, engineer in direct charge of the work, arrived in Connellsville yesterday, and today are going over a portion of the route laid out by the engineering corps in this territory. It is said that the route of the road has now been definitely settled upon by the company, and that Mr. Barlow and his assistants will begin active work on locating the line exactly where the road will run. The engin- eers have been at work surveying the country between Cumberland and Con- nellsville and between Connellsville and Pittsburg for upwards of a year. Lines were surveyed in almost every direction, and these have now been gotten together and the route decided upon. In almost every instance, it is said by a reliable authority, the com- pany has chosen the shorter routes, even where the road construction is more costly. From a reliable source it is learned that the company will begin the con- struction of the road on the Cumber- land end within a month. Cumberland business men are all expecting that the work will be started in that length of time. It is likely, however, that when work is started on one end of the line, contractors will simultaneausly begin all along it.—Connellsville Courier. THE END OF THE WORLD of troubles that robbed E. H.

What was probably the prettiest quiet wedding that ever took place in Salisbury, occurred in the parlor of the . pretty home of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin T. Hay, on Ord street, at 8:30 o’clock Wednesday morning, Aug. 1st, 1906, when their daughter, Frances Falsom, became the wife of Dr. Earl Hunter Perry. The wedding was a quiet affair, only a few of the immediate relatives and friends of the bride and groom being present, but the occasion was none the less a happy one, and the parlor in which the ceremony took place was most tastefully decorated with ferns, rhododendron, flowers, ete. The bride was handsomely costumed in real lace over white silk, and carried a bunch of '~ white roses. It was indeed a fine ap- pearing couple that stood immediately beneath a large floral bell made of moss and daisies, while the ceremony was performed by Rev. Homer 8. May, the local pastor of the Reformed church, Immediately after the ceremony, and the congratulations showered upon them by the friends present, the happy couple were taken to Meyersdale in a fine carriage, where they boarded a rain and started for Coneaut Lake, Pa., where they will spend a portion of their honeymoon. They will also spend some time with friends at Meadville and New Castle, Pa., before returning, and after Sept. 2nd they will be at home in Salisbury. The bride is the sixth daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hay, and was named Frances Folsom in Lonor of the hand- some and exemplary wife of Ex-Presi- dent Cleveland. She was born and reared in Salisbury, is a graduate of our high school, and no young woman in this community ie more highly es- teemed or popular with her many ac- quaintances. She is handsome, intel- ligent and the possessor of a modest, amiable disposition that makes her in every way worthy to bear the name of the great and noble woman who under President Cleveland’s administration was the first lady of the land. Happy indeed shall be the man who woos and weds such a charming wife. The groom is also a most worthy and exemplary person. He came here with his parents, Rev. and Mrs. J. F. Perry, about three years ago, and purchased the residence and business of Dr, A. F. 1 Speicher, who for years was the lead- ing physician of this town. Dr. Earl Hunter Perry is a graduate of the Medico-Chirurgical College of Phila- ° delphia, and before coming to Salis- bury he practiced his profession very successfully at Kane, Pa. He is a very skillful physician and surgeon, and as he has been able to hold his predeces- sor’s practice right from the start, and even increase it, his standing and poe sition in the medical profession in Somerset county rank among . the highest. The same can be said of him as 8 man and a citizen. TuE STAR joins the many friends of the newly wedded couple in extending best wishes and congratulations. The Televue, a Wonderful New In- vention. City Electrician William H. Thomp- son, of Richmond, Va., is at work on the televue, a wonderful device which, he says, will enable a person talking over the telephone to see the face and figure of the person to whom he is talk- ing. The device, it is declared, can be used with a wire of indefinite length, and gives a vivid image. Discussing the invention, Thompson said: “If it can be perfected, the tele- vue will revolutionize modern condi- tions. The telephone makes communi- cation of a purely intellectual charac- ter simple. But there are hundreds of forms of communication that cannot be satisfactorily accomplished without the aid of the eye-sight. The house- wife will be enabled to purchase her dress and provisions and do her shop- ping by televue. ‘The salesgirl will simply have to hold up the article be- fore the televue transmitter and say, ‘How will this hat do, ma’am?” When the wife desires to purchase meats she will call up the butcher by televue and require him to hold up the goods for inspection before she buys.” For the present, the electrician de- clines to exhibit the model on which he is working or to give a description of it. He explains, however, that the visual image in the televue is frans- mitted in the form of a photograph. WHEN A MAN TELLS YOU it does not pay to advertise, he is simply ad- mitting that he is conducting a busi- ness that is not worth advertising, a business conducted by a man unfit to do business, and a business which should be advertised for sale. tt i i 3 i
