——— 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.

PRETTY HOME WEDDING.
A Popular Salisbury Couple Become
Man and Wife, August 1st.
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
