A THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
To possess character is to bo useful, and to bo useful Is to bo inde
pendent, and to bo useful and Independent Is to bo happy, oven in tho
midst of sorrow; for sorrow Is not necessarily unhapplness. Ella Wheel
er Wilcox.
Pittsburg's club women will engago In a world-wide movement to rc
duco tho cost of living. Good for tho women. If talking will bring It to
pass victory is Inevitable. Wo resign In their favor, wishing them success.
It seems pretty certain from an Informal vote of tho New York Pair
Commission that there will bo no automobile races at the State Fair at
Syracuse next fall. The fearful disaster as befall tho fair last year was a
loud warning. Certainly tho attractions of that great gathering should
not bo so dangerous as automobile racing has proved to be,
We most earnestly exhort the public to attend tho benefit entertain
ment to be given this (Wednesday) evening In Lyric theatre. The pro
ceeds will go to tho family of the late George J. Bergmann, who lost his
life in tho Red Stone Front bulldlng,( January 14. "In as mucli as yo have
done it unto one of the least of these, my brothern, yo have done it unto
Pip,"
The political skies are entirely nebulous so far as the sight of presi
dential candidates is concerned. There are, however, pretty clear Indica
tions that Colonel Roosevelt will soon be known, with his open consent,
as a candidate. Governor Glasscock, of West Virginia, who visited Colonel
Roosevelt on Friday last says it Is his opinion that Mr. Roosevelt would
accept tho nomination if the American people asked htm to accept.
HELP JUST A LITTLE.

so much to tho beauty of tho streets

They aro entitled to this cheap ad
