Somerset jail now awaiting execution
for the murder of a fellow countryman

Sheriff Begley has taken steps to have
| the murderer taken to alunatic asylum
instead of to the scaffold. As the
prisoner’s insanity came upon him
since his trial and conviction, we can
see no reason why the gallows should
be thus cheated by a timid sheriff who
evidently wants to get out of a job

Tue B. & O. railroad management,
aroused by the number of disastrous
{ wrecks on that road, has been quietly
investigating the drinking habits of
their trainmen, ascertaining when and
where they obtain liquor. As a result,
a number of men holding responsible
positions in the running of trains have
been discharged. No railroad com-
pany can afford to entrust the running
of trains to men who acquire the drink
habit. The responsibility of such a
trust requires the best of a man’s
powers of body and mind. Is there
any aspect under the sun in which the
drink habit is not unprofitable to the
drinker?—Uniontown News Standard.

A sELLER of liquor should not only be
careful not to sell to his customers
when they are under the influence of
liquor, but he should also be careful to
keep sober himself, especially when he
cannot “take a little on” without get-
ting insulting, mean and boorish to-
wards his customers who keep them-
selves within the bounds of decency
and sobriety. It is remarkable how
short off and crusty some hotel men be-
come every time they imbibe a little
too much of their own goods, and it is
amusing to note how boorish they be-
come on such occasions. They are alto-
gether different at such times as to
what they are when they want men to
sign-license petitions attesting to their
good moral character and the other
customary lies that go with the average
license application. We could name a
few hotels in this county that could be
set dry without any loss to their re-
spective communities, while at the
same time the proprietors thereof
would be given a chance to sober up
and learn how to bea little less boorish
and insolent. It spoils some people
very badly to have license for too long
a period, and people} are not slow to
take notice of it, and make efforts to
bring shott a much needed change.
AN INSIDIOUS DANGER.
One of the worst features of kidney
trouble is that it is an insidious disease
and before the victim realizes his
danger he may have a fatal malady.

sign of trouble, as it corrects irregulari-
ties and prevents Bright’s disease and

THAW JURY DISAGREED.
The jurors in the case of Harry K
Thaw, the Pittsburg millionaire who
murdered Stanford White, announced
last Friday morning that they were
unable to agree, after being locked up
47 hours, and Judge Fitzgerald has dis-
charged them, Seven of the jurors
voted for a verdict of murder in the
first degree, and five for “not guilty,”
by reason of insanity.”
Thaw has been returned to jail, where
he will likely have toremain about five
or six months before arrangements can
be made for a new trial.
Scalp Bounty Restored,
The Kiess bounty bill, which is of
much interest to the country people in
general, was signed hy Governor Stu-
art, last week, and is now in force. It
provides a bounty for the killing of the
following animals: For each wildeat,
$4; for each fox, $2; for each weasel or
mink, $1. Any person now killing any
of the above animals in order to secure
the reward, must go before a magis-
trate, or justice of the peace, and pro-
duce the body of the animal, or the
pelt of the same, and swear that he
killed the same, and where. The ears
are to be cut off and burned, and a cer-
tificate will be given by the justice to
the person killing the animal.
This must be presented to the county
commissioners, who will pay the re-
ward. The county will be paid by the
state for all money paid as rewards.
BITTEN BY A SPIDER.
Through blood poisoning caused by a
spider bite, John Washington, of Bos-
queville, Tex., would have lost his leg,
which became a mass of running sores,
‘had he not been persuaded to try Buck-
len’s Arnica Salve. He writes: “The
first application relieved, and four box-

TO OUR READERS. |
Beginning on Aprii 11th, we started |
to revise our entire subscription list, |
and all subscribers found to be a year
or more in arrears, and most of those
owing for almost a year's subseription,
have or will receive statements of their
accounts to date. It will take several
weeks for us to go over the entire list,
as we can work at it only at intervals
when our time is not otherwise occu-
pied.
The individual accounts
large, yet many of them are too large
for any person to be owing for news-
paper subscription, some of them being !
upwards of $14.00. Tt is no credit to |
any subscriber to allow his subsecrip-
tion to run for years without paying |
something on it occasionally. Each |
account represents just that much hard
labor and expense on our part, and
collectively the accounts foot up to
quite a large sum of money—more than
a thousand dollars.
We therefore expect all those in ar-
rears to square up as speedily as pos-
sible, and remember that the state-
ments sent out are not intended as a
reflection on the character of anyone,
but as a hint that we need our money.
We have confided in the honesty and
integrity of all of our subscribers, and
anyone who will prove himself un-
worthy of confidence or credit is a dis-
grace to himself, a disgrace to the com-
munity in which he lives, and a dis-
grace to the human family.
Such people seldom prosper, and like
Cain, the first murderer, God seems to
have put a mark on them, which, though
unknown to themselves, is neverthe-
less visible to the world at large, and
most people size them up for just what
they really are, and they invariably
suffer and remain in squalor and pov-
erty, because of the unfavorable rating
their own bad records and markings |
bring upon them.
are not
We hardly think we have a subserib- |
er on our entire list who is unable
pny at least a portion of what he owes
for the paper, and all we ask of each
and every delinquet is to pay such
portion as he is able to pay now, and
the balance as soon as he becomes able.

A Record that We May Well Feel
Proud of.
Yesterday morning Tue Star was
called upon by a representative of the
great Bradstreet Mercantile Agency.
The representative informed us that
upon reliable information received he
found that we were entitled to a much
higher financial rating than has here-
tofore been accorded us by that agency.
and we were then asked whether we
wanted the rating changed.
We replied by asking him what
ing was accorded us for honesty,
tegrity, prompt payment of obligations
etc., and the representative answered
that our rating in those respects was
as good as that accorded to any busi-
ness firm in the country, adding that
such a rating was more to be desired
than a high financial rating in many
cases. Then we told him to just leave
our rating as it was.
We feel very proud of our rating
with the mercantile agencies. and the
wholesale and retail firms we deal
with, and we know that a good rating
for honesty and prompt payments is a
very valuable business asset for any
firm to possess. More than once we
have found such a rating worth dollars
and cents to us, and the business man
or individual who does not have such a
rating is always at a disadvantage.
“Honesty is the best policy,” and that
quality backed with energy and fgood
judgment. almost invariably brings
success.
We are pleased to say that THE STAR
is a highly successful business institu-
tion, yet there are people who some-
times feel it their duty to tell us that
we don’t know how to run our business,
simply because we sometimes print
truths which they do not relish. We
take notice, however, that the people
who are the most ready to give advice,
are the ones most in need of it.

THE MILLS OF THE GODLESS..
A Sensible Editorial on the Tha
and White Affair.
From the Every Where Magazine.
New York City, and to a considerable
extent the whole world, has been deep~
ly interested by the trial of one Harry
K. Thaw, for the killing of one Stan-
ford White.
Both of these men wera
i famous and infamous.

son of an able man is sometimes a dis-
advantage; but it is a great help, in
case ability on the part of one genera-
tion is added to that of another.
Thus we find the murdered man to
be at one time in the enjoyment of
enough blessings to make any reason-
able person happy—as happiness goes,
in this world.
The man who killed White—Harry
K. Thaw—had no gifts of genius or
talent; but he was the inheriting pos-
sessor of large quantities of money. It
may be said that it is no credit to any
one that he inherits wealth: but the
same thing might be said concerning
ability, a good disposition, ‘or a sound
physical constitution. The fact simply
is, that Thaw had so much money by
or maternal love, that his

ular expenditure of cash.
This man also had a father of ability:
a man who had been able to bring to-
gether vast amounts of money, through
his own acumen and industry, and
through taking advantage of the cir-
cumstances around him. He was to a
considerable extent a benefactor of the
human race. He did not advertise his
munificence very far, but his old neigh-
bors in Pittsburg say that he kept am
office open every working day in the
year, for the relieving of distress. He
met his wife, Harry K. Thaw’s mother,
from the circumstance of her impul-
sively throwing a rich finger-ring inte
a collection-basket when he was am
usher, and his impulse to pursue and
detect so charitable a communicant.
Still, these two fathers, White Senior
and Thaw Senior, possessed other and
less desirable qualities, which they may
have bequeathed, unconsciously, to
their sons. Richard Grant White was
not without his feminine adventures,
and the same thing is reported of the
elder Thaw. At any rate, the two sons
seem to have both owed their down-
fall to utter disregard of the sexual de-
cencies of life.
Underneath Stanford White’s talents
seems to have lurked an utter disre-
gard for the honor of woman. The
same must be said of Harry Thaw:
and it is not strange that they should
have acquired a murderous hate for
each other, on account of a frail crea-
ture whom both desired. Neither is it
curious that one of them, “maddened”
(perhaps insanely, perhaps not) at the
other, sh 1ould shoot him.
It has been a disgusting and pitiable
drama—the trial that dragged its slimy
length along. The tongues of people
have dripped with. it; the columns of
the dailies have been smeared with it.
It was thus carried into many a family
circle, and children just old enough to
read learned its miserable details.
Coming from or going to school, those
that had a cent could buy it, and with
it a lot of other revolting matter. The
damage this terrible case has done te
the community can be felt, but ne .es-
timated.
What is the recompense for all this?
Nothing, except that perhaps the com-
munity may learn that a good time for
commencing to make a good citizen is
as many generations back as possible;
that even rich children should not be
given too free a use of money ; that bad
literature, even though it be in daily
papers, should be kept out of the family
and the streets; and that lawlessness,
even with the most exalted personages,
must some time have its inevitable and
gruesome reward.
