George Spence, aged 28 years, and
married, committed suicide at the
home of his sister, Mrs. Elmer Barn-
hart. in Meyersdale, last Saturday af-
ternoon, by drinking carbolic acid. Ex-
¢ossive debauchery and family ructions
a-e attributed as the causes leading to
his rash act. Deceased was a son of
the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert R. Spence
Sneak are becoming quite
numerous in this locality, and they are

of the greater portion of a fat hog re-
cently slaughtered for her winter’s sup-

Ambitious young men and ladies
should learn telegraphy: for, since the
now 8-hour law became effective. there
is a shortage of many thousand teleg-
raphers. Positicns pay from $50 to $70
per month to beginners. The National
Telegraph Institute of Philadelphia,
Pa., and five other cities, is operated
under supervision of railroad officials,
and all students are placed when quali-
fied. Write them for particulars.
Foley’s Honey and Tar clears the air
passages. stops the irritation in the
throat, soothes the inflamed mem-
branes, and the most obstinate cough
disappears. Sore and inflamed lungs
are healed and strengthened, and the
cold is expelled from the system. Re-
fuse any but the genuine in the yellow
package. Elk Lick Pharmacy, E. H.

People who write things which they
would like to see printed in a news-
paper, should bear in mind that what
they write as their personal opinion
should be fathered by them, and when
they write stuff that is not fit for them
to attach their names to, it should
never be printed. Remember the
rule of all decent newspapers, and you
will never have occasion to put on the
“ghoe.” This is the rule which we give
in all kindness: Never ask a news-
paper to do anything you are ashamed
to do yourself.
It is said that three of the stingiest
men in the state were to town yester-
day. One of them’ will not drink as
much water as he wants, unless it be
from another man’s well. The sec-
ond forbids any of his family from
writing anything but a“small hand,”
as it is a waste of ink to make large
letters. The third stops his clock at
night in order to save wear and tear
on the machinery. All of them decline
to take their home paper on the
| ground that it isa terrible strain on
| their spectacles to read newspapers,
| even in the daytime.
| Winter blasts, causing pneumonia,
| pleurisy and consumption will soon

Bruce Price was a welcome caller at
Tre STAR office, Monday forenoon, and
while here favored us with a few
“plunks” on subscription. He and his
family came here from Fayette county,
Pa., one day last week, to attend the
funeral of his little nephew, the three-
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Price,
whose sad death is recorded elsewhere
in this paper. Bruce has been a B. &
0. watchman, near Indian Creek, for
quite a while, but he is thinking of
moving to Washington county, Pa.,
soon, where he expeets to engage in
coal mining.
Wm. H. and Lew 8. Keim, both of
Elkins, W* Va. arrived here last Sat-
urday evening for a visit with their
mother and sister, Mrs. S. C. and Miss
Cora Keim. They were both looking
well ana prosperous, and while talk-
ing about their boyhood days, Monday
forenoon, with C. S. Lichliter and the
editor, the great change that a few
years brings forth was commented
upon. The conversation brought out
the fact that each of the four men
named is the proud father of seven
children, making a total of 28 young
hopefuls in the four families. No race
suicide among the Keims, Lichliters
and Livengoods, eh?
W. H. Powell, the popular and genial
auctioneer so well known throughout
Somerset county, recently moved to
Idaho, where he and his family have
located. Mr. Powell resided at Boyn-
ton for several years, but during the
past few “years resided near Boswell.
He is a very good citizen and a most
excellent auctioneer, and his many
Somerset and Bedford county friends
all wish him great success in the far
west. Mr. Powell was a candidate for
| County Commissioner at the last elec-
| tion, on the Prohibition ticket. He did
not want the office, and made no effort
| to get it, but he nevertheless ran con-
siderably ahead of the Prohibition
candidate for President.
We notice in the Postmaster Gen-
eral’s report a suggestion that people
writing letters should sign their full
names and addresses to their letters,
and there would never be a letter that
could not be returned if it failed to
reach the person it was intended for.
The report suggests a better way than
that, too, but one which is a little more
expensive. That is to have a smail
card printed on the corner of the en-
velope. This will cost only a trifle.
and if the letter cannot be delivered to
the address, or the address should be
wrong, the letter would come back in
the course of five to seven days, in-
stead of going through the Dead Letter
office, and finally being returned to
the writer after a lapse of two weeks
or more. The latter suggestion
much the best, and can be adopted at a
very small expense
The Christmas number of The La-
dies’ World has a very beautiful cover
by Frank X. Leyendecker, and inside
it is filled with good things, the most
notable, perhaps, being the large num-
ber of excellent stories by such well-
known writers as Alice MacGowan and
her sister, Grace MacGowan Cooke,
Clara Morris, Temple Bailey, Imogen
Clark, Gertrude Lynch and Henrietta
Lee Coulling, while the children are
provided for by Barbara Yechton and
Albert Bigelow Paine. The number is
beautifully illustrated throughout, and
the various departments are full of
practical suggestions for the various
ceasonable doings, the Household,
Needlework and Fashion contributions
being particularly notable. The pub-
lishers say that next year the maga-
zine will be even better than it now is,
which in our opinion promising a
good deal, for itis a marvel for the
price.—[New York: Fifty Cents

Distressing Fatal Accident.
Last Friday afternoon a most dis- |
tressing fatal accident occured at the |
home of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Price, who |
reside on Ord street, this city. While
Mrs. Price was engaged in doing the |
family washing, a tub with a small
quantity of water, not over three inches
in depth, was standing near her, and
while she had occasion to walk out for |
a few moments, her three-year-old son, |
Lee, fell face forward into the tub and |
expired before the mother discovered |
what had happened. It was at first |
thought that the child’s death was due |
t) drowning, but as examination re-
vealed that but little water had been
inhaled, the child’s death may have
been due to something else.
Little Lee was a very bright and
