Charles Calvert Ellis has been "secured for the purpose, and is one of the most fluent institute speakers in the state'. His subject that day will be 'Being a Boy." of which a prominent educator has said that it is "one of the very strongest, most practical lectures he has -ever heard, full of sanity yet bubbling with flashes of wit." Reynoldsville -business men will not regret taking a few 'hours off to hear Dr. Ellis and live over again for a time their own boyhood. DAL INSTnTIONOUNCEMENT. Friday of last week the institute an nouncement books, upon which the force of 'The Star office has been at work a few weeks, were finished and within the next ten days will be mailed to teachers and directors over the ' county. During the printing of. this book, which consists of seventy-two pages of reading and adver tising matter, four persons were given -employment in The Star offloe, besides the -editor, who found a little to do between seven in the morning and eleven at night. It was the largest single job ever turned out by the job department of this offloe and "Was finished just twenty-four hours ahead -of the time promised a month before. X ELACK BEAR WAS SEEN. - A big black bear was seen Thursday bight passing near the farms of Jerry Mowery and John Cable, near Emeriok ville. The bear was going northwest, towards the wild Sulger tract of timber, and several parties of hunters followedjhis tracks Friday and Saturday, but failed to run him down. A bear, apparently the -same animal, baa been seen frequently - about this season, near Emerlckville lor four or overyears back - and though Tiunters hare followed fiie trail assiduously no one hat ever yet got a clow rmg shot at the animal. - . ' ' LOOKING AFTER THE SILK HILL ir it rsnHilm-d. a member of the law firm of Tison A Goddnrd, and closely idontiflcd with the American Silk Company of Now York, was in Roy uoldsvillo lust Thursday iookihk aiwi v,oi0 nffnhn of tho company. Mr Goddard, in conversation ' with the secretary of lie Business Mens Associa tion ntfttad that it was tho Intention of the American Silk Company to sell the local mill if possible to some company t run u. Hn I of the opinion after examination that the Reynoldsville mill is one of the finest, ana possioiy me hnt. nf all the mills of the company, and he has had practical mill experience sufficient to understand the physical tmlnn nf such a d1 mi t. Part of his business hero was to gain firsthand ac quaintance with all matters connected with tho mill with the idea 'of gradually unwinding a rather tangled skein of flnnncial entanglements and getting tne property in salable condition. BRICK WALK TO THE INDUSTRIES. Some time ago the Brick and Tile Company of Roynoldsvillo generously offered to contribute brick enough to lay a good walk from town to the industries on the hill south of town, and the matter has been before the Business Men's Associa tion awaiting action. Inquiry among the workmen at the various plants on the hill develops tho fact that a very large portion of them nro willing to take a half day, or full day, off and contribute their labor in tho grading necessary free of charge. This leaves but one difficulty to be overcome before the walk can be laid, and that is getting a suitable grade across the ball ground for the walk. The lower part is over flown every spring, and the present road bed is too nnrrow to permit laying a walk. Saturday of this week the supervisors will meet in Reynoldsville and representatives of tho Association will appeal to them for some sort of assistance in widening the road a little and making it possible to lay the walk. The laying of a walk to the Industrial plants is of great importance and should be done for the sake of tlie industries that in a large measure support the town. It would make it ensior for the concerns to secure laborers and add greatly to the convenience of those already traveling the muddy road from two to four times a day. IMPROVING BELL TELEPHONE LINE.

Besides the crew mentioned, a number of town's people are also assisting in the work, and state that the work may continue for several months near town. INSTALLING GAS-PRODUCER.

Considerably over a century ago a French protestant exile by the name of John Piatt camo to this country to escape religious persecution. He settled upon the New England frontlor. From the loins of his one. man have ' sprung successive generations of soldiers, Journal ists, poets, preachers, farmers and business men. From one branch of tho family alone came Col.. A. Sanders Piatt, the general, John Piatt, the poet, and Doun Piatt, the journalist During the Civil War a score of those men from both sides of the Mason and Dixon Line met in battle and fought against family and blood for a principle. The mettle of the ancestral zealot has reappeared In the life and work of Byron C. Piatt. The key to the man is in the line he has chosen for himself from the poet Heine. Upon leaving college to enter the ministry he was drawn Irresistibly into the thick of the social questions that are agitating our time. He comes to the Lyceum platform becauso he has to. His ideas have possessed him completely and forced him into the arena to fight for them. Mr. Piatt is an orator and more he is a prophot. Voice, gesture and body combine to drive home the thing that he has to say. First, lust and all the message is ,the thing. Every sontence is welded together with - overmastering conviction. He possesses the charm and magnetism of doWn-rtght, thorough-going sincerity. The romance of facts and figures, masterly argument, thrusts of ridicule, flushes of wit and Impassioned appeals to reason and conscience follow each other in rapid succession till the whole compass of human life is played upon. He warms and lifts his hearers into enthusiasm I by the breadth of his sympathy and his passion for justice. His style is direct and simple, and, at times, epigrammatic with sharp turns of expression and surprises of thought that keep the listener tense with attention. Byron C. Piatt will be the i second entertainer on the public school' locture course, appearing December 2. WERE MARRIEDT1RSDAY LAST. Frank M.
