Bing-Stoke Co. A Correction. "John Spears has the small-pox. His brother George died from the same dis ease about a month ago in Pittsburg. The boy's father had George's clothes brought home when they should have been burnt." DuBols Searchlight Jan. 17, 1903, from Reynoldsville correspon dent. The above Item Insinuates broadly that John Spear's case of small-pox, or varioloid, developed from his brother's clothing. At the requost of Mr. Spear, we will state the facts In the case. In the first place George Spear died Oct. 17, 1902, three months before the above item was published. After the trunk was thoroughly fumigated, or disinfected, by a Pittsburg doctor, who was a warm friend of George Spear, then It was given a second fumigation by tbe health officers of Pittsburg. It was then shipped to Reynoldsville by express, delivered to Mr. Spear's resi dence by the expressman, set in an un occupied room, opened by George En gle, who took some Important papers out of top of trunk and the trunk was then closed and has not boon opened since. John Spear lives in a house soverat doors away from his father and he did not even see hiB brothor's trunk. How Our State Got Its Name. Many people aro under the Impres sion that Pennsylvania owes Its name to William Penn's vanity. 1 In point of fact, It Is not named after htm, but after the Admiral Penn, his father, says an exchange. This fact Is proved by this paragraph in a letter written by Wil liam Penn under date of January 5, 1081 : "This day, after many writings, watchlngs, solicitlngs and disputes In council, my country was confirmed to me under the 'groat seal of England with largo powers and privileges, by the name of Pennsylvania a name which the King would give It in favor of my father. I chose New Wales, being a hilly country, and when tho secretary, a Welshman, refused to call it New Wales I proposed Sj-lvanla, and they added Penn to it, though I was much opposed to It and went to the King to have it struck out. Ho said it was past and bo would not tako it upon him." Baby Nearly Drowned. Philip, 13-month-old son of Raffael Grieco, the Italian tailor, barbor and shoemaker whoso place of business is next door t Wm. Burgo's grocery store, had a narrow escape from drown ing In a bucket of dirty water Monday forenoon. Mr. Grieco lives in rooms in rear of his shop and tho little follow was toddling around through shop and got back In a corner where there was a candy bucket half full of water. In some manner the little fellow fell Into bucket headfirst. No one saw the baby fall into bucket, but the father hap pened to see the little foet sticking over top of bucket. Philip was almost a "goner" when taken out of the water. "The Last Days of St. Pierre." As the third number of the public school lecture course, Frank R. Rober son, the famous illustrated lecturer, will present the subject announced above. This lecture is new, timely, beautiful and very Instructive. Less than a year ago Mt. Peloe erupted and St. Pierre was almost annihilated. A few days after this catastrophe Mr. Roberson was near the scene preparing Illustrations for bis lecture and these, therefore, represent soenes and places true to nature. Mr. Roberson's repu tation, his ability to entertain and Interest, to picture life and people brightly In dotall, Is well established. An Editor Appointed. Ezra S. Gray, one of the editors of the DuBols Courier, has been appointed secretary of tbe senate committee on appropriations. It is a nloe little "plum." The Courier "boomed" Senator A. E. Patton during tbe campaign and the Senator did not forget the C'oitrier whon be had a few "plums" at his disposal. Mr. Gray is capable of filling the po sition and Is entitled to it. When a newspaper gives a candidate its entire support it does him as much, If not more good than alible other friends combined, and yet the newspaper is frequently tbe last to receive any of the favors to be distributed.

Stetson's Uncle Tom's Cabin Co., the best known aggregation on the road, still presenting the old play, Is at tho academy and played twice yestor day to fairly good housos. Tho old story, which has been told and read and sung and played thousands of times, never loses Its drawing power, its strength and real pathos, and it Is a poor company which cannot win ap plause before an American audience in the fine story. The cast of the Stetson oompany is very large and all the parts in the story are taken, even to there being two Marks, the lawyer. The play, as presented, was very effective, the soenery, a large amount of which the company carries, was well adapted to the character of the performance and tho musio by the company's own orches tra was good. Some of the specialty work was excellent, the plantation dancing being of a high order. The company Is playing a matinee this af tor- noon and will give a final performance this evening.

Any American girl Is possibly, and probably, going to noed to fall back upon ber own resources some time. The ups and downs of fortune are too oertaln, too conspicuous, to noed point ing out. To bring up a girl without any training in a useful occupation la not simply Improvident and foolish, but It is wicked. Feminine character needs Independence to make and keep it sweet and perfect. Tbe darkest tragedies of life grow out of tbe Ignorance, helpless ness and dependence of womon. Cour age, training in work, Independence of character and self-reliance these, with high Ideals of womanhood, for lnspslra tlon, are what every girl needs. Only through Intelligent work can tbe high est character be attained, and the growth of character is the whole pur pose of this school which we call "tbe world." February Woman's llbme Com pamon.
