The

t£'V

Publlgher and Proprietor,

Connersville was intending to put in a*municipal electric light plant, but* bond brokers and the owners of the private i. plant there prevented them. They threatened to tie the city up on money matters sjo tight they could not wiggle, and the city succumbed and will continue to be bled.

is full of active, energetic

business men who are public spirited and do much toward the upbuilding of our city and County. There is however a spirit of jealousy or rivalry cropping out thac does tbe city no good. The prosperity of oue man only helps all others and they will also prosper more. Let us get closer together and all act harmoniously an.1 always be actuated with the laudable purpose of advancing Greenfield and her interests. Now for a pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether.

Indianapolis Saloon-keepers Association are after the druggists. Five druggists, have been arrested at tlieir instance for violations of the Nicholson law. If this law is enforced as it should be it will rid the state of many of the evils of intemperance. It will be enforced if the sentiment of the community is so educated, that the law abiding will take .it upon themselves to do their duty and see that the officers do theirs. Men should not be released on legal guibbles and technicalities on the testimony of dead beats and bums, who are worthy of but little belief.

IN miny cities over the State we .read of saloon keepers meeting to decide -whether they should obey the Nicholson law or not, and they always decided to obey the law. That any body of men should determine whether they should obey they law or not is arrant nonsense. People generally do not hold mass meetings to determine whether they should -obey the law or not. Such actions make -people tired. Saloon keepers should obey the law just as other people do. It is not necesary that they hold meetings to decide what they shall do. Laws are passed to be obeyed. In Greenfield Mayor Duncan, Marshal Scott and the other officers see that the laws are obeyed.

Some Democrat papers join with the Republicans in comdemning the Cleveland—Hoke Smith pension policy. John B. Stoll the forceful editor of the South Bend Times, the leading Democrat paper of Northern Indiana, is honest about the pension steal and condemns -the present methods.

The Times says: "The Indianapolis Journal is substantially correct in saying that two-thirds of the names' in -all the lists of pensions granted in this State are ''reissues." The public may not. know it, but every pension agent, and particularly every pensioner whose name is on the list, knows that it means a reduction from $12 to $8 or $0 per month. Those who make up these lists should classify them as pensions reduced instead of pensions granted."

The Duncan gang are run close for money. They have now appropriated the cemetery fund to meet their demands. When this gang gets through with the finances of Greenfield we will be in a demoralized state.—Hancock Democrat.

The Democrat, for some reason or another, continues to assail the city government of Greenfield.«and attempts to bring it and our city into disrepute. If a etranger should judge our city alone by what he saw in the Democrat, he would never desire to come here to locate. He woali think it? a city in everyway undesirable in which to live. They claimed for weeks that our water works supplied comparatively no water, that our finances are in a demoralized condition, that I taxes will be very high, etc., etc. The water works here is anew plant and did as well this summer as the majority of plants in adjoining cities, as nearly all were a little short on Jwater. There has been no complaint of a scarcity of water for mauy weeks and we do| not believe there will be a aiu. During Mayor

Duncan's administration this'city has made wonderful "progress and advancement, such, as never before in her history. Water works were completed,'a

jity

m^b-

building erected, a fire company organlzed and equipped, cement sidewalks constructed, streets and sewers built, one of the handsomest school-houses in the State contracted for, many old frame buildings condemned and removed and their places filled by enterprising citizens with elegant a ad costly brick blocks which are an ornament to our city. All of this has been done despite the croaking and kicking of the Democrat, which haB gone on continuously and to such a length that it has disgusted the enterprising and progressive business men of our city. They feel that all should lend a hand in the work of building up our city and county and not be everlastingly putting on the brakes and trying to tear down the reputation of our city which others are laboring to build up. The improvements have been such that our people point to them with pride when showing a stranger the city aad if any man wants to go back to the old style, let him stand up and say so. The citizens would mark bim but they wjuUl not be proud of him, no, not a l.'ttle bit. •S

I e,

At the trial of Theodore Durrant in San Francisco for the murder of Blanche Lamont, the number of well dressed women increases at every session. ^Continued efforts are made by girls to lionize the^defendant. At a recent session one infatuated woman, who was entirely unacquainted with Durrant, went so far as to rush in as he was being led from the the court-rocm and attempted to embrace and kiss him. Such conduct Is a disgrace to the sex, but for years many soft hearted and'soft headed women have been disposed to make heroes of murderers, and to flood them with flowers and attention. Let other women with more sense and better judgment come down on such foolish ^conduct' in a manner that will stop it, and if the foolish women do not have enough pride and self-respect to cause them to conduct themselves properly and cease disgracing their sex,!Jthe judges of I the courts could forbid them coming to the court-room. If people have not sense enough to behave themselves, they should at least be restrained so that they do not act foolishly.

TnE number of men and boys who heedlessly and foolishly waste time standing arouud watching others work is entirely too large here in Greenfield. A count one day when there was no unusual excitement showed exactly one hundred and fifty watchers, or about fifteen watchers to one worker at the excavation for the Masonic Temple. When a little excitement was raised by the foreman, Myrtie O, Dohohue giving an exhibition, the number of watchers immediately increased to two hundred and fifiy. If one would only stop to think there were enough men standing around accomplishing nothing to do ten times the work of the men they were watching, and those men were making from $15.00 to $20.00 per day. Time once wasted can never be regained, therefore, use it judiciously as it passes.

THAT TRIP TO BOSTON.

Something Besides Low Kates Offered by Pennsylvania Iinet. Boston excursionists over the Pennsylvania Lines will be carried in the luxurious ease to be expected on "The Standard Railway of America"—the standard in construction, equipment and operation. This merited distinction means that every requirement for comfortable and delightful traveling is provided on these lines. The Parlor, Sleeping and dining cars and coaches are up to date in design and finish. The Pennsylvania is an up-to-date railway system, the foremost in adopting practicable ideas for the convenience and pleasure of patrons.

Stop-over privileges will enable excurcursionists to visit places of summer sojourn along the Atlantic Ocean. Long Branch, Cape May, Asbury Park, Atlantic City, Ocean Grove, and resorts on the New Jersey coast are on the Pennsylvania Lines, and May be reached at slight expense from Philadelphia and New York by daily excursions thither during the season. Historic scenes in Philadelphia, including Independence Hall with Old Liberty Bell and numerous interesting relics, the United States Mint, Masonic Temple, Fairmount Park, the site of the Ceutennial, may be visited within the stop-over limit.

Returning excursionists may make the trip over different routes to be selected at the time tickets to Boston are obtained. By this arrangement the return journey may be mada via the Hudson River, Niagara Falls, and other attractive places. If excursionists wish to reach home in the most expeditious manner, they should obtain tickets with return portion reading over the Pennsylvania Lines. When big crowds break up and the rush for home commences, it should be remembered the Pennsylvania Lines always meet all requirements and handle passengers expeditiously and aatisfactor-

iy. Excursion tickets to Boston account the Knights Templar Conclave will be sold to all applicants at ticket stations on the Pennsylvania Lines from Aug. 19th to Aug. 25th, inclusive.

Information concerning rates, time of trains and other details will be promptly furnished applicants to nearest Pennsylvania ticket agent, or may be obtained by addressing F. Van Dusen, Chief Assistant General Passenger Agent, Pittsburgh, Pa. 30t4w&d.

PRINCESS ALEXANDRA.

Her Grandmother Would Like Her to Marry Prince Ernest. Should Princess Alexandra of Saxe-Cobnrg-Gotha, whose portrait is given herewith, marry Prince Ernest of Hohenlohe, there will be no one who is likely to be more pleased than the bride's grandmother, Queen Victoria. For not only is Prince Ernest heir to the vast estates and immense wealth of his fa-

& #ii

ther, the present governor general of Alsace-Lorraine, but he is also persona gratissima at the English court, the queen having treated him during his residence in England not as a mere secretary of the German embassy, to which he was attached, but as a very near and dear relative. Tliis is not surprising when it is borne in mind that his father, Prince Hermann, is the son of her majesty's half sister, Feodore, to whom she was so warmly attached.

When the queen's mother, the Duchess of Kent, died, her last words were to commend her other daughter, Feodore, and the latter's children to Victoria, and as the queen had after her accession treated her mother with marked coldness and neglect, it is not improbable that she may have been driven by a certain feeling of remorse to be particularly kind to her Hohenlohe relatives. In any case, a match between Prince Ernest and Princess Alexandra would be infinitely more to Queen Victoria's taste than a marriage with the crown prince of Italy, for tbe latter possesses neither the large private fortune nor the health nor yet the comeliness of Prince Ernest of Hohenlohe. Princess Alexandra is not yet 17 and is a girl of sweet nature and has the fresh joyousnss of her aga

"Nagging Woman" Again.

Dr. Edson's recent articles in The North American Review on this subject provoked replies from women, who are now in turn answered by him. He repeats that "with a woman who is a confirmed nagger, 'a cursed shrew,' as Shakespeare calls her, neither exercise nor fresh air, nor any other agency of which we have knowledge, will do any good. She must simply be endured by those who cannot get away from her. I wonder sometimes whether these women realize for a moment how intensely they are detested."

Further, he wishes to emphasize the danger to those who are slipping into the habit.

4'I

hope some women reading

these articles will seriously ask themselves whether it is worth while whether the danger of becoming real naggers is not confronting them whether they are willing to look forward to a time when they will be detested by every one, and to one when their husbands and children will rejoice over their deaths. They can stop now, but it is sure that the habit will grow on them until they reach a point where they will not be able to stop."

Women Who Preach the Gospel.

Rev. Anna H. Shaw preached in the First Congregational church of Oakland, Cal., Sunday morning, May 15. Rev. Dr. J. McLean, pastor of tbe church, said in introductory remarks that he was glad it was no longer an innovation for women to preach the gospel. In the evening Miss Shaw preached in the First Congregational church of San Francisco to an immense audience. The pastor, Dr. C. O. Brown, referred to the previous occasions upon which he had spoken to the people of the coming woman and said it gave him great pleasure that at last she had arrived. Dr. Brown continued: "Now there is a suspicion floating about that she would like to vote, and I give you notice now that if she wants to vote she wilL The cordial recognition extended to women ministers by the Congregational clergy, especially in the west, is one of the many pleasant experiences of these latter days.

Brutality to Women.

Wife beating is on the road to murder. Crimes of violence against women are shamefully common. The wife beater is having altogether too easy a time of it He even, holds his head up in respectable society and sometimes in the churches. It would help to check more fatal crimes against both men and women if he was more severely dealt with. The impunity with which he keeps np his violence against tbe helpless victim of his home is an encouragement to greater orimes. The unwillingness of society to recognize the extent of this kind of depravity is in part its shield. In fact, enlightened as the age is, it very muoh needs to hare its eyes opened to the developments of crime before it reaches the outbreaking horror.—Chicago Advance.

Women Game Out Ahead.

Women came out ahead in an examination recently held for library oataloguer and library clerk for the agricultural department at Washington. Of the 80 applicants for the former position, all of the men failed to pass, while only five out of the 10 women did so. Of the ten applicants for the latter, eight men failed and two women passed. Although Secretary Morton wanted men for the places, he was moved by these results to change his mind, and appointed Miss E. B. Wales of Chicago olerk, and Miss G. F. Leonard of the Albany state library a a

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, TFLUBSDAY AUG. 8, 1895.

FOREMAN CHAS.

Up in the top story of The building, where the typeseting and other machines do everthing but talk, says Boston Globe, there is a pleasant-faced, clear skinned light complexioned man of 52, who has been with The Globe ever since the birthday of that great paper. He is the night foreman of the composing room, and looks fully 15 years younger than he realy is. His name is Mr. Charles Eolfe.

Nervous headaches that well might drove him to distraction first introduced him to Paines celery compound. That was five years ago, aud uutil that time he was one of the most pronounced opponents of prepared remedies to be found in the city.

Jnst how Paine's celery compound was first brought to his attention he does not remember, but it has done him so much good that the compound has no more enthusiastic champion living. He is as happy as any one in the enjoyment of good health could be, and for that happiness he gives full credit to Paine's celery compound. Read what he had to say about the medicines: "I am always ready to reccommend Paine's celery compound when I hear of a case similar to my own. Some five years ago I was suffering from headaches which were sometimes so severe during working hours of the night that I would clasp my hands over my head to 'hold the top on,' the pain being excruciating. These attacks would occur sometimes as often as three times a week. Sleep was out of the question, the pillow seeming but a block of wood "Just at the time I was suffering most I bought a bottle of Paine's celery compound, began at once to take it, and before a week had passed the headaches began to disappear. I felt almost a new man before the bottle was emty. I purchased more, and for two years kept it in tbe

house for use whenever I felt a return of the old pains. The other members of my family also began to take it—my wife for a feeling of general weakness, she being at that time much 'run down' and never feeling well enough to perform the work of the home. Within a week she was. as she expressed it, 'as well as ever in her life,'and similar reports came from all our friends to whom we had recommended it. "I feel confident that In nervous headaches and a run down, system the compound will be benefical every time, if not a perfect cure. "In some instances we have not only recommended it, but furnished it to very aged friends, and the effect of one bottle has seemed marvelous, and particular old friends of mine telling me that before one bottle had been used he 'felt at least ten years younger, aud certainly had not felt as good for 10 years. "During the last five years I have used a great many bottles of the compound —that is, in my home. I am positive that it is a sure cure, for nervous headaches and a brokendown fteling especially in the case of elderly persons "There is one case in particular I call to mind, in which Paine's celery compound asserted its good qualities. We had a young married lady friend, who was nursing her 4 month old child, and found that she could not perform ter household duties on account of the weak conditions she seemed always to be in. On the recommendation of my wife and myself she took one bottle of the compound, and before two weeks had passed was able to do her own washing even, 1l addition to horse work. About three bottles were used. I have yet to hear from any friend to when I recommended it other than the most favorable results.

PLiKASTJRF TRIPS.

Numerous Excursions the Coming Summer at Reasonable Kates. Whether the tourist's fancy directs him to the New England States or the Atlantic seaboard to the South or to the lake region of the North or to the Rocky Mountains and the wonderland beyond the Mississippi, he will be given opportunity to indulge his tastes at a small cost for railroad fare this year. In Aug excursion tickets will be on sale over the Pennsylvania Lines to Boston, acceunt the Knights Templar Conclave. The sale of low rate tickets will not be restricted to members of the organizations mentioned, but the public generally may take advantage of them.

The Asbury Park excursion will doubt-, less attract many to that delightful ocean resort. Atlantic City, Cape May, Long,! Branch and all the famous watering places along the New Jersey coast are located on the Pennsylvania Lines, hence this will be a desirabje opportunity to visit the seashore. The Denver excursion will be just the thing for a sight-seeing jaunt thro' the far West, as tickets will be honored going one way aud returning a different route through the most romantic scenery beyond the Mississippi and Missouri rivei's. Variable route privileges will also be accorded Boston excur sionists, enabling them to visit Niagara Palls. Montreal, Thousand islands and St. Lawrence Rapids, the White Mountains, the Hudson River territory, and to return by steamer on Long Island Sound, alter sight-seeing at Newport. Narragansett Pier. Nantucket and the C.ipe Cod resorts to New York and thence through the agricultuaal pai'adise of the Keystone State, along the Susquehanna aud Juniata rivers, over the Alleghenies, around famous Horse Shoe Curve, through historic Johnstown aud the coke aud iron regions of Western Pennsylvania. It is also expected that Boston excursionists over the Pennsylvania Linens will be privileged to return via Baltimjre and Washington if they so desire.

Our patrons know the excellent quality of these excursions via the "Big Four," which is the natural route to the Falls via Buffalo. Elegaut Wagtier Sleeping Car accommodations will be provided for all. Solid Trains of Parlor Cars and Coaches run' through withoun change.

In addition to the above, there will be plenty of other cheap excursions over the Pennsylvania Lines to various points. As the season is some weeks away, arrangements in detail have not beea consum- $ mated, but it is certain that no railway will offer better inducements than the liberal concessions in rates and privileges that may be enjoyed by travelers over the Pennsylvania Lines. This fact may readily be ascertained upon application to any passenger or ticket agent of these lines, or by addressing
