Tyrone Daily Herald from Tyrone, Pennsylvania • Page 9

The Tyrone Herald An ounce of logic is worth a pound of oratory. The most popular books still remain under cover. Some men are born to rule and some get married. Lunatics shouldn't be at large, no matter how small. The fellow who is looking for a speakeasy is on a still hunt.

It takes more than a boiled shirt for a man to put up a good front. Etiquette doesn't govern the proper calling cards in a poker game. The man who raises cabbage knows that two heads are better than one. Don't look for trouble unless you know what to do with it when you find it. It is well to know when to stop talking, but it is better to know when not to begin.

The higher education often demonstrates that the more we know the less we believe. The youug people who write articles 011 how to succeed are not always able to sell them. At uiuety-six in the sun, the ther- uioineter Sunday broke the record for twenty-firsts of January. Mr. and Mrs.

Charles H. Olark, of Jersey City, are the possessors of a new sou, their ten-pound boy having arrived on Thursday. Mrs. Olark was formerly Miss Cora Hiltner, of Tyrone. The new form of money orders are now being issued at the Tyrone post- office.

The first one was bought by Mrs. E. 'McClintock on Thursday at 12 40 o'clock. It was written by clerk Waring and its number was 38,401, A striking decision, arrived at by the narrow majority of five to four, has been given by the United States Supreme Court, to the effect that the contract between the Knoxville, Water company and the city of Knoxville, giving the former an exclusive contract for thirty years to furnish the city with water, did not debar the city from building waterworks of its own. Contracts of that character, Justice Harlaii declared, must always be construed liberally in favor of the public and strictly against the grantee.

J. A. B. Rodkey, a middle division freight brakeman residing at Miftiiu, narrowly escaped death in the Altoona yard at 12 20 Saturday morning. He was a member of a crew which scheduled to take a train east to Harrisburg and in dropping it down a track near the tower he was struck by an engine passing along on the adjoining track.

He was picked up by his fellow trainmen and removed to the hospital, where an examination showed that he had sustained several lacerations of the scalp, abrasions of the face and crushed fingers of his left hand. Dr. R. J. Duusmore, of Pat-ton, and Miss Mazie Wands, of Tyrone, were united in marriage at DuBois on Tuesday, January 16.

Dr. Dunsmore is a prosperous youug dentist at present practicing at DuBois. His bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wands, of Tyrone, and is an agreeable youug lady.

For several years she has held a clerkship in the store of Stockdalo Daum at DuBois. Dr. and Mrs. Dunsmore are visiting at the former's home at Patton and they will be with the bride's parents in Tyrone for a visit before settling down at DuBois.

Lota of learned men have been imposed upon, but the sage isn't always as green as it looks. The girl who thinks she is pretty is just as well satisfied with herself as the girl who really is. The fellow who thinks of a girl as being worth her weight in gold generally picks out a fat one. MoOlure'a Magazine for February contains a thoughtful editorial on the exercise of judgment between men, "Judge Not" is the title, and it shows how this maxim may be misapplied. If the individual citizen does not judge', the coudeming voice of the court of law means little to the criminal.

Each man should clearly express himself on all questions of politics, business and law; and in this way help to replace crime and corruption by honesty and justice. At the regular monthly meeting of the Improvement Building and Loan association held Thursday evening in Herald hall, thirteen shares of stock were sold at an average premium of 21 per cent. each. At a special meeting ol the directors of the Improvement the same evening, Andrew H. MoOam ant Esq.

Hull and his son Charles at the former's farm in Sinking Valley on Tuesday morning had just fiuishe throwing some hay from the mow i the barn, when upon looking out the saw a large and beautiful doe in th barnyard, mingling unconcernedly wit the cattle. They watched the deer fo about ten minutes, when a dog cam upon the scene and made such a fus that the doe scampered off into th woods. It was the third deer seen in that part of the valley in the past two weeks.

The others were a buck and a fawn. The animals were not as shy as deer generally are, and seemed to realize that their season of danger is now a brief one. S. S. Stanley, at his home on Logan was thehost Friday evening for a large company comprising about a half hundred of bis good friends.

He didn't invite them; in fact, he didn't know they were coming; so down the corridors of time the affair must go as a strenuously successful surprise function. Mr. Stanley was unaware of the preparation but he was all there in the celebration. The visitors carried along an abundance of refreshments and there was consequently a bountiful repast. Everybody enjoyed a jolly evening.

With the Tyrone crowd there were also Mrs. P. H. Bridebaugh and daughter, of Hollidaysburg; Mrs. R.

R. Rightnour, of Bellwood; Dr. E. E. Goodman and wife, of Altoona.

Mrs. Delia V. White, wife of William H. White, died at 13.30 o'clock Thusrday, Jan. 17, of tuberculosis from which she was a sufferer for about seven weeks.

Interment at Bald Eagle. Rev.Clarence E.Taylor Sunday evening preached a special sermon before the members of Good Will council No. 42, Junior Order United American Mechanics and other members of the order, a number being present from East- Tyrone council No, 840. The church was completely filled with an attentive, interested congregation. Rev.

Mr. Taylor is himself a loyal member of the order and he wore its badge in the pulpit as he expounded from the basis of the scriptures the duty of man to God, his country and his fellow man. He showed from the motto of the Junior Mechanics the cardinal principles for which they stand, and he extolled the patriotism which they assert and cherish. From an intimate knowledge of the order, its aims, practices and acconplishmeuts, he explained its usefulness to church and community. Rev.

Mr. Taylor's sermon was appreciative and forceful, and it presented to his interested hearers more pertinently than they had before realized, the immensity of their work and opportunity, both along patriotic and religions lines. Musicians are divided into two class who like to hear themselves lay, and those who like to hear them- elves sing. When a girl is in doubt as to whether not she loves a fellow she can make her mind quickly enough when some ther girl acts as though she did. L.

George Bigler died at her home in Clearfleld on Saturday morning. She was formerly Miss Anna Blytbe, of Ma dera, and was well known in Tyrone where the sad news of her earlj death is received with many expressions of re gret. Mrs. Bigler was talented as an elocutionist and had given several read ings before Tyrone friends a few years ago.

With enthusiasm, courage and untiring industry strive for perfection, and the product will at least be creditable. Half-heartedness and indifference never bring success. Yon must have an object in life and drive straight for the goal, turning neither to the right nor to the left in pursuit of the butterflies of pleasure, otherwise you will cut uot more figure than a member of Congress from a rotation district. Walter D. Bauer, of 639 West Washington avenue, a clerk in the office of F.

T. Hepburn at Altooua, about a week ago received a slight cut on the left arm near the wrist from a piece of glass. Medical attention was given at the time and no further trouble experienced until Sunday last, when it commenced paining him severely and continued so until some time during Wednesday night.

A very pleasant surprise party was given in honor of Mr. and Mrs. James Reed, of Northwood, on Wednesday evening, by twenty-one of their neighbors and friends of Tyrone and vicinity. The company entered the Reed domicile, well laden with good things to eat, the result being a supper that was sumptuous.

It was midnight before the motion to adjourn was put and it was carried with reluctance. Some of the friends remained at Mr. and Mrs. Reed's hospitable home over night. Rev.

Dr. W. W. Evans, presiding elder of the Juniata district, preached a masterful sermon at the First Methodist church Sunday evening. His exposition of the personal relation of the individual to his Master was keen and elucidating.

A thought presented with new force, also, was that of the ease with which one may resist the temptations of evil. Dr. Evans is always a welcome visitor in the church and pulpit, but he came with a message of more than ordinary import at this time. Thomas Davis, of died Thursday from disease incident to old age.

The meeting will be interspersed by instrumental music, and a male quartette will render selections. The ladies of the court wlil serve light refreshments. All the members are urged to be present and to bring their friends. Every one interested is invited. All will be made welcome.

It is desired that members of the court make their best efforts to show the high standing committee that Central Oity is a real live one. bok around for the draft and move out of it or protect himself against it. A draft is something to be sneezed to be avoided. Drafts cause more deaths than war, whiskey, football, consumption and yellow fever put together. Almost everybody who diet, from disease dates his sickness from taking cold.

This is especially true of elderly people. Yet it is a matter in regard to which there is great ignorance and inattention. "Frenzied Finance," Mr. Lawson's remarkable history of financial crimes, closes with a bang in the February Everybody's. It is not unlikely that this instalment, with its brilliant sidelights on the story of Bay State Gas, its candidly humorous description of that marvel of financial jugglery, a "voluntary association;" its unforgettable pen-portraits of those eminent personalities, J.

Edward Addicks and George Wharton be considered the most fascinating Mr. Law- sou has ever written. By no means its least interesting paragraphs are those relating to Mr. Lawson's long anticipated Remedy, which he will begin to set forth in the next issue of the magazine John Morrissey, aged 22 years, of Vail, who is employed as a track laborer on Tyrone division of the Pennsylvania railroad, met with an unfortunate accident about a mile north of Vail. Coming down the track on a hand-car, he was seated on a keg of nails, when his foot slipped, the keg was overturned, and Morrissey was thrown upon the track ahead of the car, one wheel of which passed over his right leg between the thigh and knee, fracturing the bone.

The car was laden with spikes and was very heavy. Morrissey was brought to Tyrone and received temporary treatment from Drs. B. J. Fulkerson and T.

Tobiu; and on the noon train he was taken to Altooua where he was admitted to the hospital. The Pennsylvania Water Supply Commission, which has power to supervise all applications for charters for water companies, will hereafter approve no charters which appear to have as an object the obtaining and holding of water rights as an article of commerce. This decision will prevent water grabs like the recent ones in the central parts of the state. This announcement is made by the commission in a special report to Governor Penuypacker regarding the work in which the commission has been engaged since its organization, last July. The report states that the contamination of streams, so far as this affects domestic or municipal supplies, is, by legislative enactment placed under the supervision of the State Health department, but there are some sources of pollution which cause obstruction to waterways or contamination affecting industries that will probably require investigation by the commission.

Since its organization the commission has received eighteen applications for charters. Of these, seven have been approved, two have been refused, several have been held under advisement and two have been withdrawn. Mrs. Rebecca Thompson, widow of the late Captain Thompson, died at her home in Gaysport, Monday morning at 10.15 o'clock. She was injured by a fall on October 23, 1905, and was since confined to her room, death finally resulting.

She was a daughter of Philip and Elizabeth Lynch, and was born at Lebanon, August 28,1847. She and her husband opened the Logan house in Altoona in 1854. Mrs. Thompson resided in Hollidaysbnrg for the past 38 years. The city of Altoona was on Monday held responsible for the death of O.

Henneberger, who, on Thursday evening last, accidentally fell into a deep hole at Sixth avenue and Twenty-fourth street, which had been excavated for the purpose of constructing an inlet. The decision of the coroner's jury which SEVEN FOOT GKAVKS. Health Commissioner Modifies His Requirements. Recently State Health Commissioner Dixon issued a circular announcing that he health board would require that hereafter all new graves in cemeteries of Pennsylvania must be dug to a depth infficieut to make the distance from the op of the rough-box to the surface seven feet. The average rough-box for an adult is 24 inches high, which made the nine-foot grave necessary.

Even an nfant could not be buried without seven 'eet of earth between the top of the box and the surface. The announcement raised a storm of protest all over the state. In this vicinity the limestone formation, and the encountering of water at the lower depth in many cemeteries, render the nine-foot grave often an impossibility. Oemetery sites were selected generally without regard to geological formation. Dr.

Dixon has issued a modified regulation as follows: "Except by special permission from the department, no interment cf any human body shall be made in any public or private burial ground, unless the distance from the top of the box containing the coffin or casket be at least five feet from the natural surface of the ground, except where solid rock or water may be encountered, Then the distance from the top of the box containing the coffin or casket shall be not less than four feet from the natural surface to the ground; and with the further exception that still born children and children less than four years of age, dead of any diseases other than anthrax, cholera, diphtheria, leprosy, smallpox, scarlet fever, tetanus, typhoid fever, typhus fever or yellow fever, shall be buried at such a depth that the top of the box containing the coffin or casket be not less than three and one-half feet from the natural surface of the ground." Feast of Saint Paul. Many Protestant Episcopal churches celebrate the festival of the conversion of St. Paul on Thursday, January 25. Paul, the apostle whose memory the feast commemorates, was born at Tarsus, of Jewish parents. His original name was Saul, and he often is referred to as "Saul of Tarsus." He was educated in his native city, which in his time was famed as a seat of learning.

He became proficient in Greek language and then was sent to Jerusalem to perfect himself in the laws of Judea. His ntor was Gamaliel, a great Jewish doctor. Whether it was at Jerusalem or at Tarsus that Paul acquired his knowledge of Greek literature and philosophy ias not been determined by students of he apostle's life. According to the conducted an inquest, which blamed the city authorities with carelessness, will give the widow of the man a chance to sue for large damages. The evidence adduced was to the effect that the precaution taken by the city was insufficient protection against injury to pedestrians.

Mrs. Anna Blythe Bigler, wife of George Bigler, who died at Clearfield on Saturday, was the second daughter of Thomas and Rachel Blythe of Maclera, nud was well known and had many warm friends in Tyrone. She was born at Williamsport May 2, 1877, and was consequently a little less than 29 years of age. In 1890 she graduated from Dickinson Seminary, Williamsport, and also from Emerson College, Boston, in 1899, standing very high in her class. The following year she spent in Clear field teaching music and physical culture in the public schools, a work for which she was ably qualified and in which she was very successful.

On June 17, 1901, she was married to George Bigler, a prominent young business man of Clearfleld. She was a member of the Episcopal church, in which she was a very active worker. Besides her husband, she is survived by her father and mother, one sister, Mrs. Jean Hensel, and three brothers, Michael David and William. practical rule observed among the Jews, that every Jew should learn to work at some useful handicraft, Paul became a maker and labored at the trade for lis support.

A few years after the death of Christ Paul was found furiously opposing the new sect of Ohristians. All readers of the Scriptures are familiar with his conversion and apostleship. Paul is believed to have suffered martyrdom at Rome under Nero, 07, A. D. when that despot accused the Jews of being responsible for the mysterious burning of the Eternal Oity.

Paul was endowed with an intellect that was powerful and accurate as his writings and personal history attest. Carlisle placed him among those of the world's heroes whose greatness was such that it would have placed him in the front rank of the world's notables, in any age or country. The 25th of January is kept as a high class feast, a double major, the conversion of St. Paul with a special mass and special office by the Catholic church. Mr.

Plumiuer Kequests Expressions. Desiring to be guided by the wishes of his constituents, Hon. J. Lee Plum mer addresses the following letter to Blair county voters: "To THE CITIZENS or BLAIR COUNTY In the matter of a uniform primary election law: All of the bills on the above subject that have been introduced in the legislature provide for two pri mary elections each year, the same to be held by the regular election officers and all cost of printing, tickets, pay election officers, rent of polling place and all other expenses to be paid by the county commissioners out of the County funds. The only way to figure on the cost of these elections to the taxpayers is to take the cost of the present spring and fall elections.

Mr. Hostler, clerk to the commissioners, has furnished me a statement showing that the spring election of 1005 cost $4510.54 and the fall election cost $4002 50 or a total of 19509.04. This is about the average cost to the county per year for the present elections. The primary elections, if the law is passed, will cost the county about the same sum. At present the primary elections cost the taxpayers nothing.

I will be glad to have an expression from the taxpayers of the county as to whether 01 not I shall support a uniform primary election law under the above circumstances. Address me at Harrisburg, Pa. LEE PLUMMER, W.VRKIORSMAKKINGS. Toner Lucas, of Altoona, spent a few days under the parental roof last week. Mrs.

G. G. Hutchison is visiting her son at Jeanette. Isaah Devore has organized a singing class of about fifty members. Ernest Hyskell, of Pittsbnrg, was a visitor in the valley for a few days.

Mrs. Levi Nearhoof spent Sunday at Osceola Mills with her daughter, Mrs. Lawrence Whippo. The next number of our lecture course, "The Kaffir Boy Choir," will be on Tuesday evening, Jan. 30.

The Central Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, will convene in Tyrone, in March, Bishop Joseph F. Berry, D. D. of Buffalo, presiding. This session will be of extraordinary interest because there are two conspicuous vacancies to be filled at that time.

The vacancy caused by the death of Rev- Amos S. Baldwin, presiding elder of the Danville district, and the vacancy at Blooinsbarg caused by the election of Dr. Evelaud to the presidency of the Williamsport Dickinson Seminary The prevailing feeling among the members of the conference is that the filling of these vacancies should make possible the promotion of several of the younger men in the conference. The ministers of the Danville district will doubtless suggest to Bishop Berry the names of three men for presiding elder, the Rev. Dr.

B. C. Connor, of Altoona the Rev. R. H.

Gilbert, of Berwick, and Rev, E. M. Stevens, of Williamsport. A special meeting of the Mystic Circle of the First M. E.

church will be held with Mrs. J. B. Nason Thursday afternoon of this week,.
