Utah.
tt Is until that Texas proposes to place
a tax of fc"0 each on all bachelors over
30 years of ngo, unless they swear that
they have tried to marry and couldn't.
This Is leap year legislation.
Sam Jones says: "If all the wealth
of tho United States were divided out
to-day eae,h man would ffet nlxHit $1,000,
and In less than six months some fel
lows would be riding In palace cars and
others would bp walking cross-ties,
howling for another dlvy."
Don't forget three little words "If
you please," said Sir Humphrey Davy.
Life is made up not of great sacrifices
or duties, but of little things, of which
smiles and kindness and many small
obligations, given habitually, are what
win and preserve the heart and secure
comfort.
The new constitution of Utah, adopt
ed for the State organization, has the
following features: It" provides that
juries shall consist of eight instead of
twelve, and that in civil cases three
fourths of the number may render a
verdict. Also, that the State shall
never go into debt exceeding $200,000,
except in ease of insurrection. That
every citizen has the right to obtain
employment wherever posstblo, and
any interference is made a crime.
Sufforage Is given to woman on equal
torniB with men.
Ex-Prcsidcnt Benjamin Harrison
will discuss "The Presidential OOlce"
very comprehensively in his "This
Country of Ours" series, in the forth
coming February Ladies' Home Journal.
Ho will detail the provisions and
methods of uleetlng a Chief Magistrate,
and will have much to say bearing upon
tho eligibility of a President for re
election; will give his views as to tho
length of tho Presidential torm, and ex
press rather decided opinions relative
to the annoyances to which Presidents
are subject from otflco-seokors. The
article is practical, based upon ex
perience and observation, and is very
timely. General Harrison believes that
the fears (expressed by the framcrs of
our Constitution) that the power of the
office is such as to enable an ambitious
incumbent to secure an indefinite suc
cession of terms have never been
realized.
Bob Burdctte gives this simple
recipe: "My homeless friend with the
chromatic noso, while you are stirring
up tho sugar in a ten-cent glass of gin,
let me give you a fact to wash down
with it. You may say you have longed
for years for the free, independent life
of a farmer, but you have never been
able to get money enough to buy a farm.
But there is where you are mistaken.
For some years you have been drinking
a good, improved farm at the rate of
.100 square feet at a gulp. If you doubt
this statement, figure it out for yourself.
An aore of lund contains 4.V(i0 square
foot. Estimating, for convenience, the
land at $43.50 an acre, you will boo that
U brings tho land to just one mill per
square font. Now, pour down the fiery
dose, and Imagine you are swallowing a
struwborry-patch. Cull in five of your
friends und have them help you gulp
down that garden of 500 square foet.
Got on a prolongod spree some day, and
sou how long it will take to swallow a
pasture lund to food a cow. Put down
that gluss of gin; there is dirt In it 100
squure foot of good, rich dirt, worth
$43.50 per acre."
The Star has mentioned several
times that one of the needs of Jefferson
county is a County Homo. Itf would be
a big saving to the tax payers of Jeffer
son oounty. Occasionally the overseers
of townships and boroughs are Imposed
on by people asking for aid who oould
work and would work rather than go to
a County Home. West Reynoldsvllle
has not been a borough Jong, but it has
had one case where family, including
the husband, was kept by the borough
until the man, whom it was thought
wad able to work, was given a choice
botween going to jail or working. He
soon got able to go to work. The Clear
Hold Jtejmblicun says: "Since the new
County Home has been opened up to re
ceive the paupers of the county, the
Dumber of persons receiving aid has
suddenly greatly diminished. In some
townships where a dozen or fifteen per
sons had been subsisting off the taxpay
ers, at present there appears to be no
oue la those townships who care to be
kept at the County Home. It would
have been a saving of many thousands
of dollars to the taxpayers of Clearfield
c''y If tiers bad been County
To the Golden Oate.
Undoubtedly California offers more
genuine attractions to the pleasure
traveling public than any other part of
the American continent. The fame of
its climate is world-wide, and it is
sought even by Europeans, who find it
is more charming than their own south
ern r1ovs. To Americans its worth is
too well known to necessitate a descrip
tion of tho many advantages to be en
joyed. Personally-conducted tours via Penn
sylvania Railroad will leave New York
and Phlludelphlu February 12 and
Mnreh 11. 1S!K). In addition to the
many other points of interest visited
on the first tour a stop will ho made at
New Orleans for tho Mardl-Gras festivi
ties, and four weeks will be allowed in
California. On tho second tour four
and one-half weeks will be allowed in
California.
An addition to the magnificent train
heretofore used for these tours Is a
through Pullman compartment car.
The ear, which will bo tho very Ix'st
that tho Pullman Company can supply,
will contain nine inclosed compartments
two drawing rooms and seven Mate
rooms and will be attached to the
special train at Jersey City and run
through to Snn Diego, Cal., on tho first
tour, and Sun Francisco on tho second.
This will be the first car of Its kind
to be run on a transcontinental train,
and that It will bo thoroughly appre
ciated by participants in the tours is
evidenced by the fact that already
several of the compartment! have been
reserved.
Applications for space or itineraries
giving all information should be made

the finest before the public Seats now

udolphla Prem of Dec. 24, 1S!)5, says:
"III Henry's minstrel company, which
has not appeared In this city in several
years, opened at tho Grand opera house
last evening before a good-sized audi
ence, who wore privileged to enjoy a
minstrel performance firet-clasB In every
respect. The company numbers fully
half a hundred Btar performers, at tho
head of which is Hi Henry, undoubtedly
ono of America's greatest cornet play-ei-s.
The usual first part performance
showed the company to possess many
fine singers, and tho solos andquartottes
were all liberally applauded and many
of them had to be repeated. The
orehestra of solo musicians was par
ticularly fine, and the first 'part Btage
setting, consisting mostly of heavy
plush and velvet drapery, was particu
larly gorgeous. The performance was
made up of the general minstrel stylo of
entertainment, including tho mirthful
musings of Arthur Deming, Frank E.
McNish. tho original "silence and fun"
man; Master Joseph Williams, the
phenomieal boy soprano: tho wondorful
Crawford brothers, gymnasts; the
unique Mexican Ballad Club, and many
other special features. A beautiful
stage picture was presented by the
marching gladiators, and their move
ments wore skillfully executed.
Another much applauded feature was
a series of groups of bronze statuary.
There will bo a seeiiil Christmas mati
nee of the HI Honry minstrels."

Editor Star: In looking over vour
paper I seo an account of the duutu of
Joseph Strauss. A nobler type of man
hood never walked the streets of Reyn
oidsville, whose heart never had an
ungenerous throb, and whose hund was
always ready to help the needy. He
was not the man to do a charitable act
with the intention of making himself
apiear generous before his follow man,
but he Hid It from tne goodness oi nis
heart, and without that principal deep
ly permeating his nature no man can bo
either noble, good or great. I take it
that this rock on which bis whole life
rested, followed, up by the perpetual
and enduring Industry that marked his
whole career, made him at once the hon
est and capable man who invited, in
every act of his life, and reoeived the
oonfidenoe and love the unbounded
confidence and love of all who learned
to know him. Ed. Walsh,
Reynoldsvllle, Pa., Jan. 20, 181M).
