this
Spring.?
Have you thought anything
about tho kind of wall paper
you will buy.
Say you employ the best
decorator In town, '
If you furnish him with a wall
fiapor poor in quality, cheap
n design, ho can't do a good
1 job. I
Wall paper is a little different
than anything else.
You don't buy it by weight.
; Nor because It will wear llko
4 J iron.
You choose this piece or that
piece solely for its pattern.
1 There's small difference between
" ugly ami pretty papers except In
the appearance.
And appearance ts Just where
Pittsburg Wall Papers (the line f
we sell! Is superior Ml any other
' wall paper mailt).
The manufacturer's efforts are di
rected to getting out .the most
beautiful and desirable patterns
possible. The talented artists of
' the world devise designs.

Signed Pushing Cars Objected to.
The miners In the employ of R. & P.
and J. & C. C. & I. Company at mnss
meetings bold at Punxsutuwnny and
Sykesvllle yesterday decided to come
out on a strike because L. W. RoHlnson,
general manager of the above compa
nies, has not signed the scale adopted
by the minors' convention held at Al
toona recently. Mr. Robinson had
notices posted at tho various mines to
tbe effect that the same wages would
be paid the miners as was paid last
year, "with conditions remaining the
same as has been In force during the
Inst scale year," but he has not signed
the scale. The reason he gives for not
signing scale Is that the conditions are
not the same all over tbe district.
Pushing cars out of rooms, especially
at Elcanora, Is one of tho conditions of
last year that the men object to. As
the breach is not wide between the men
and the company, It Is to be hoped that
the differences will be amicably adjust
ed soon. The strike throws six thous
and men out of employment.
