The Baltimore courts have fined a
man 125 for hugging a woman on the
street. Quite proper! Luxuries must
he taxed.
If a poor woman steals Irom n a tore
she Is prilled a shop-lifter, and a rich
woman who steals from a store is called
Kleptomaniac
St. Kllzabuth's insano asylum, Is
crowded with Philippine soldiers, suf
fering from more or less permanent loss
of reason. This is an eloquent tribute to
the hardships of campaigning In tropl
leal climate.
The Italian government Insists that
the United States shall punish the men
who lynched sevoral of her subjects in
Louisiana. But the United States gov
ernment is powerless. It can only ask
the governor of Louisiana to attend to
the matter. This state of things should
be remedied by giving the United States
courts Jurisdiction over crimes against
foreigners. The failure to do so is con
tlnually subjecting us to humiliations.
The War Uevenue Act is liable to
stay on the books indefinitely. Repre
sentative Hopkins, of the Ways and
Means Committee, when asked whether
his committees would take any action
toward the amendments of the law, re
plied: "The law will be difficult to
overhaul at this session, and I doubt
whether anything of a matorlal nature
will be done." The majority of the
committee is understood to be In oppo
sition to any change in the law.
If Joshua had become discouraged
and stopped blowing his horn on the
grounds that "it didn't pay," the wall
of Jerlco might so far as known, have
been standing to-day. Sticking persist
ently to it did the business for Joshua,
and the walls fell down. Persistent
blowing tho horu has never failed from
his timo to this, and the walls of pros
pority will full and give you an easy en
trance if you stick unfalteringly to the
good old way. Exchange. The Star
is a good medium to advertise in.
It Is as difficult to understand why a
dog runs on three feet Instead of
four, as It is to oomprehend why a
woman will wear a skirt out so long be
bind that she must hold It up all the
time, wbon Bhe might ayoid all the an
noyance by making It a little shorter,
But If the dogs prefer to trot on three
feet, holding up the other, and women
prefer to go about grasping their skirts
with grim determination, it is probably
their own business, and poor frail man
who ohews tobacco and spits the juice
on the sidewalks, ought not to complain
Ex.
We are informed that, for the purpose
of deceiving the farmers, and prejudic
ing them against certain men, some un
scrupulous persons have been circulat
ing the report that, by a recent act of
Assombly, thoy are forbidden to mar
ket their own products without a li
cense. This Is absolutely false. There
never was a law passed in this State re
quiring farmers to pay a license to sell
or peddle tholr own products. The law
permitting cities and boroughs to tax
transient merchants, peddlers and huck
sters for the privilege of vending tbelr
wares within their corporate limits, all
specifically except farmers or dairymen.
The law In question is purported to have
been passed in 181)11, but there was no
legislation whatever on that subject

Mftchtll Not a Candidate.
Senator James G. Mitchell, of Hamil
ton, having decided not to enter the
contest for reflection to the 8tate Sen
ate, In which capacity he has served
with distinction for the past eight years,
issues the following card:
'to the rep1thlicans of jefferson
and Indiana Counties:
"I will not enter the contest fur the
nomination for State Senator at this
timo. I recognize Indiana county's
rights in this manor, and I am entirely
satisfied with the gentleman put for
ward by the Republicans of that county
as my successor, in the person of John
S. Fisher, Esq. Ilia character Is be
yond reproach and his ability is unques
tioned. Having made his own way In
the world from boyhood, securing a
a good education and a front rank at
the Indiana county bar solely by his own
efforts, he is entitled to the kindly con
sideration of all persons who believe in
helping those who have struggled
through poverty and adversity to an
honorable place among men, without
tho assistance of others. He Is a Re
publican of the true-blue varioty, who
wilt prove an honor and not a disap
pointment to his party.
"I am abundantly grateful to the peo
ple of Jefferson and Indiana counties
for the honors accorded me, and feel
that I have not been entirely unsuccess
ful In my efforts to he useful to them
during a service of eight years in the
State Senate. But I regard it as my
duty to keop faith with Indiana county,
not only because it Is rigbt, but because
the people of that coiroty will then have
no excuse to break faith with us. While
I am going out of office I am not going
out of iolitics, and will still bo in a posi
tion to help my friends. I have no
grievances, and trust that my Republi
canism is of the sort that does not sour,
but grows better, with age."

A Standard Among Newspapers.
Reflecting in its widening circulation
and Increasing advertising patronage
the prosperity that marks the opening
of the now year the' Pittsburg Times
more than evor impresses upon its read
ers the excellence of Its high standard
and the success of its efforts to make a
model paper for the Individual and for
the family. The Times is a newspaper,
sparing no pains nor expense to cover
the world thoroughly every day, that
its current page of history may be com
plete and in its longer range overlook
ing nothing that ocours at home. It is
clean, dignified and reliable, certain
that no lack of these features can be
made up in offensive sensationalism. It
can be taken into the family circle with
confidence that its columns are filled
with wholesome Instruction and enter
tainment. Wherever known The
Times is recognized as the best type of
a concise, crisp and complete newspaper
and among newspaper men It Is the
publication with which comparisons of
excellence are made. While The Times
Is Republican In politics It realizes that
others have a right to be on earth, and
that politics are not everything. When
one cent a day will buy a morning paper
It Is foolish to be without one. The
Times is three dollars a year and worth
the money.

A TRIP TO JUPITER.
Continued
The following mnssago was received
by telepathy from "Pa" concerning
their haps and mishap during the jour
ney and on their arrival at the planet:
Wo had several accidents, but none
of them proved serious.
"The ray of light which Flossy mount
ed was so refracted that 'Ma' became
quite alarmed and thought she would
lose her beautiful daughter forever and
aye. But when the ray touched the
dense atmosphere which surrounds Jupi
ter, it was again turned out of Its course
and landed her safely on the planet.
"On account of Bertha's very great
weight, the ray on which she rode
broke just as she was passing tho moon,
leaving her fall upon it, where, like
Robinson Cruso of old, she will have to
wait till the sun throws a ray of light at
her by which she may roturn to the
Earth.
"Nothing else of very great import
ance happened, except that a number
of the youngsters got sick because of the
rapid motion. Of course those who
started first arlved here first. And as
the rotary motion of Jupltor is very
rapid, those who got here first were on
the other side of the planet when the
last ones arrived. And though we have
been here five of your days or twelve of
our days, not until to-day did we all
come together.
Etta and Ella find the planet to be
the most beautiful world Imaginable,
one of perpetual Spring. The flowers,
which resemble those of the Earth, are
ever in bloom. When one flower fades
tt Is immediately replaced by another.
They see five moons every night and
therefore the nights are as light as the
days. They also witness four solar
eclipses every day and four lunar
eclipses every night. The animals
are very much like those seen on the
Earth, except that the horses have five
feet and can travel foster than the fast
est racers on Earth. We are afraid
when the time comes for our homeward
journey that the aforesaid will bo unwil
ling to return to that comparatively
dull and gloomy globe.
"Several other members of the family
have found Jupiter an entirely different
place where they landed. The atmos
phere being so dense they haven't even
caught sight of the moons or sun. Since
the light and heat of the sun received
here are just one twenty-seventh
great as that received by the Earth
they can hardly tell whether they are
black or white. Although the heat re
ceived here from tho sun is very Bmall
compared with that received by the
Earth, yet the place is not as cold as
Room 14 was last Friday and Monday,
because the planet has not entirely
cooled off.
We know that whon our explorations
here are ended it will not be hard to
coax the members to return to that
bright and beautiful planet called
Home. They are even now getting
homesick and will be glad to return to
Room 14, cold as it may bo.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you that as we
passed the Asteroids, a farmer, wealthy
enough to own one of the minor planets,
called to us and asked us to stop and
take dinner with him and view his fine
corn fields. But we told him that if
be was in the same position from the
sun we would likely stop on our return
trip.
"We also met with a kind invitation
from the king of Mars as we passed his
domain. We said nothing would please
us more, but as we had started for Jupi
ter we thought we had better go there
and return as quickly as poslble."

Coal Trade Items.
Coal Trade Journal. 1
Soft coal keeps at a good pace so furl
as demand Is concerned in all parts of
the country, and people who can do so
will be wise In keeping a supply on
hand, for there is not the least likeli
hood of demand falling off, and even if
prices do go below the fancy schedule
which some of the operator who have
not season contracts are able to obtain,
they are not going to any old time
figures, for mining and transportation
are going to cost more than they did In
18U9. In the first Item it Is expected
that advances will be: Ohio miners, an
Increase of 20 cents per tont Went Vir
ginia. 15 cents; Illinois, 1." cents; Penn
sylvania, average 15: Indiana, 15 and
20 cents.
In Pennsylvania soft coal trade the
state of the weather has no effect; the
demand Is as urgent as ever and prices
remain the same. There appears to be
no accumulation of this cowl, and con
sumers arc just as urgent to get their
orders filled now as earlier In the
season. The open weather Is allowing
a little better movement of the cars,
and that Is really all that can bo said as
to any change In the situation.
Through nn agreement already ex
isting between the Buffalo, Rochester
fc Pittsburg, the New York Central and
the Reading, the first named receives a
tide outlet for the bituminous coal
originating on its lines, and this traffic
bids fair to be very largely augmented
In the near future.
