THE MAIL ORDER BUSINESS How the Patron Puts up the Capital for it to do Business On. "I wondpr," said an official of the RoynoliUvllle flualnoas Men's Associa tion tho other day, "if the people around here who are patronizing Chicago mall order houses realize thut thev are fur nishing qnpltal for thieil concerns to do business 6n ? Almost all of them re quire money In advance, many will not even ship C. O. D. but require cash be fore the goods louve their store. In this way they have hundreds of thous ands of dollars of their patrons' money on hand at all times for goods not yet shipped. That is, the people are ac tually loaning the city bouses money without interest to enable them to com pete with home merchants. Just sup pose that the people of Ueynoldsrllle and farmers In the vicinity furnish our home business men with large sums of money at all times without Interest, cannot they also afford to sell much cheaper than they can when so many farmers and others get the local dealer to carry them from spring to fall, or even over winter, without paying in terest? Suppose Reynoldsville dealers Insibted on cash In advance for their goods and the mall order bouses carried their patrons for four to six months and see whab-prlces the stores In Chi cago must ask to get a living." Glass Plant'Stock Almost Subscribed Need but a Few Thousand Dollars More to Insure In stallation of Machines. . In the Issue of The Star of June 24 mention was made of the fact that an effort was being made to sell some of Jbe Btock of the Star Glass Company for the purpose of equipping the plant with modern machines for manufac turing glass. On account of the dull times and money stringency the com mlttee has had a strenuous time in selling the stock, but It looks now as If the effort will be successful and that the machines will be Installed. The committee, however, has some stock to sell yet. If the stock le not sold and machines not Installed the glass plant at Reynoldsville will never resume operation, as It would be im possible to compete, under the old man ner of production, with the modern machine production. If the machine is installed the glass plant would give employment to about sixty men almost continuously, and If the machine is not Installed the glass plant will remain Idle. Take your choice? Would It not be better to Install the machines? C. L. S. C. Work at Chautauqua.

The story of Aaron Burr's mnrrlnge in his old age to tho widow of Stephen Jiimel, who was well known in the early history of New York city, Is a dramatic one. Conceive, If you will, the picture of Burr, gifted adventurer that he was, brokeu lu health, branded In the popu lar mind as the murderer of Alexander Hamilton and returning from n long exile to find himself an outcast In the city where he had once been tho polit ical moiiuu'h of nil he surveyed and a distinguished figure In society and nt the bar. Conceive, If you can, this lamentable old man, 'smirking through bis wrinkles, bowing and prancing rather stlllly because of his rheumatic Joints and with his mouth full of pret ty platitudes, paying court to the wid ow of Stepheu Jumel, herself lu tho prime of years and lien I Hi. Remove from the picture Its surface Incongrui ties, and you have a bit of pure puthos uiKMjnnled In theannnls of foolish great men. . Hut something of his old time pow er to charm the gentler sex niust have stood by him in his years of mental and physical misery, for In his suit for the widow Jumel's hand and fortune he won gloriously, dramatically. Re buffed repeatedly, P.urr finally de clared In passionate rage that on a given day he would arrive at the Jumel mansion accompanied by a clergyman, who should marry them on the spot He would give his prospective bride no quarter, no chance of escape from the Inevitable. She was amused at the threat and dismissed the old man with more than her usual coldness of demeanor. Burr stuck to bis avowal and one July day rolled up In a carriage, and with him was n minister, the same who fifty years before performed the marriage cere mony for Burr and the mother of his daughter, the beautiful Tbcodosla. There was something of a scene In the old house on this day. There were tears of anger on the part of Burr. Relatives remonstrated; Burr remained immovable. All feared a scandal. The minister, book in hand, stood unob trusively In the background. There were more tears, more declarations of undying love, and the widow Jumel became Mrs. Aaron Burr. They were married in the great drawing room of the Jumel mansion. Burr squandered with reckless hand the wealth acquired by Stephen Jumel and left for the enjoyment of bis marital partner. There were many bit ter quarrels between the til mated pair, and they were soon divorced. Burr died in 1830, but madam lived until 1805, dying a recluse and a miser, the money received from the Jumel estate hoarded In an nnused chamber. 8tonee and Glass House. The origin of tho saying, "Those who live lu glass bouses should not throw stones," Is as follows: At the time of the union of England and Scotland London was Inundated with Scotch men, and the London roughs nsed to go about at night breaking their win dows. Buckingham being considered the chief Instigator of the mischief, a party of Scotchmen smashed the win dows of the duke's mansion, known as the Glass House. The court favorite appealed to the king, who replied, "Steenle, Steenle, those who live In glass houses should be careful how tbey fling stonesl" New York Ameri can. Mathematiee at Oxford.

According to newspaper reports a great many more than the usual number of persons were bitten by rattlesnakes this year. And what Is more strange most of those who have been bitten claim that the snakes gave no warning whirr of their rat tles, but just proceeded to use the hypodermic without saying a word. The common belief is that rattle snakes always play a little tamborine solo before striking, and if this is nothing but idle gossip it behooves us to be very careful when in pursuit of the festive huckleberry.
