Patrick Quinn Fires Three Shots into Frank Shupple. Frank Shupple of Portage, was shot at that place Friday night by Patrick Quinn, a resident of South Fork. The shooting occurred in the bar room of George Yeckley’s hotel. Quinn was at Portage on a visit to his mother during the afternoon. While in the bar room in the evening Shupple came in. There is an old _ grudge between the two men and hos- tilities began on sight. The two men exchanged words when suddenly Quinn ‘drew a 82-callibre revolver from his pocket and fired three shots into Shup- ple’s body. After the last shot Shupple threw up his hands and fell in a heap on the floor. He finally struggled to his feet and staggered out of the room with all the appearance of being mor- tally wounded. The spectators were so taken by surprise that no one essayed to follow him. Afterwards a searching party was organized, but at a late hour he had not been found. Quinn gave himself up and was lodged in jail at Ebensburg. Later it was learned that the man was found a short distance from the hotel and that the bullets had only in- flicted slight flesh wounds. Made Another Attempt. At a late hour Sunday night an at- tempt was made to burn the fan-house at the Sterling mine in Hastings, which is in course of erection, and only the hardest kind of work prevented ite total destruction. After the fire was distinguished it was found that certain parts of the fan-house had been sat- urated with oil. The building was not damaged to an extent great enough to cause the mine to shut down and they were running Monday as usual after a few repairs of burned portions had been made. Reward.

The Jewish New Year, or as they term it, Rosh Hashans, began at sun- down on Sunday night and continued until 6 o’clock Monday evening. The observance of this holiday continues two days in all orthodox churches, but by the reformed congregations it is The Choral Society of Westover, Pa., MUSIC AND THE HAIR. | The Effect of Vibrations Upon the Cover- ing of the Head. In a recent scientific assemblage a discussion took place upon the influ- ence of sleep in skin diseases. One of the gentlemen who took part stated in his criticism of the paper which had been read that one might as well talk of the influence of music upon the growth of the hair. It would seem that the suggestion of a possible connection thus thrown out in a jesting way has been taken seriously. At least a corre- spondent of Le Temps has made the discovery that music of certain kinds does in reality prevent the hair from falling, while that produced by certain instruments has the most disastrous ef- fects in causing rapid development of | baldness. He finds that while composers | are as prone as others to lose their hair at an early age those who play their compositions upon the piano preserve, if they do not acquire, a luxuriant growth of hair. On the other hand, wind instruments, and especially the cornet and tfombone, are fatal to hir- sute adornment. The violoncello and the harp keep the hair in pretty well, but the flute cannot be depended upon to preserve a strong growth after the fifti- eth year of age. A number of pianists, including Pa- derewski, are cited in confirmation of the pronounced influence of piano music. It has been admitted for some time that music has a certain therapeutic worth, and it will be recalled that Dr. Ferrand presented a report to the French acad- emy on the physiological influence of music, pointing out what ways it could be employed with therapeusio aims. Subsequently Dr. Betzchinsky re- ported an instance of night terrors in a child of 8 years, who was cured by hav- ing played to it each night music of a calming nature written in a minor key. A test was made after a few nights by omitting the music, and that night alone the child had an attack. It has not as yet been determined just what key is most favorable to the pre- vention of an early bald state. Prob- ably a reasonable way of settling the disputed point would be to make a few experiments on dogs, thus proving a tolerance for different strains and avoid- ing the horripilation to which some pa- observed by one. According to the Jewish calendar it marks the year | 5,658 in the month of Tishri. All dif-| ferences between man and man are | considered at an end, according to the | Jewish belief, when Rosh Hashans is ushered in. New Year is a season of | done to effect reconciliation between | enemies. Yom Kippur, or the day of rejoicing, and everything possible is | oq tients of refined tastes might be sub- jected. Wind instruments .are always dangerous if the hair has not a good hold, while stiff haired people can stand anything. Possibly a good rule for any musician would be as soon as he finds his hair falling that he should THE WONDERS OF SCIENCE Lung Troubles and Consump- tion Can be Cured. An Eminent New York Chemist and Scientist Makes a Free Offer to Our Readers, The distinguished New York chemist, T. A. Slocum, demonstrating his dis- covery of a reliable and absolute cure for consumption (Pulmonary Tuber- culosis) and all bronchial, throat, lung and chest diseases, stubborn coughs, catarrhal affections, general . decline and weakness, loss of flesh, and all conditions of wasting away, will send THREE FREE BOTTLES (all differ- ent) of his New Discoveries to any afflicted reader of the PATTON COURIER writing for them. His ‘New Scientific Treatment” has cured thousands permanently by its timely use, and he considers it a simple professional duty to suffering humanity to donate a trial of his infallible cure. Science daily develops new wonders, and this great chemist, patiently ex- perimenting for years, has produced results as ‘beneficial to suffering humanity as can be claimed by any modern genius. His assertion that lung troubles and consumption are curable in any climate is proven by ‘heartfelt letters of gratitude,’ filed in his American and European labra- tories in thousands from those cured in all parts of the world. Medical experts concede that bron- chial, chest and lung troubles lead to consumption, which, uninterrupted, means speedy and certain death. Simply write to T. A. Slocum, M. C., 98 Pine street, New York, giving post- office and express address, and the free medicine will be promptly sent. Sufferers should take instant ad- vantage of his generous proposition.
