T he demand for tickets for the minstrel entertainment to-night was greater than the supply. Hence it was decided to re peat the performance to-morrow even ing, when, we are assured, there will be the “ same people, the same music, and new jokes.” IT Is reported that the Brie Railway Company has decided to make and en force a rule prohibiting the throwing of rice at newly married folks by their friends on the cars or premises of the company.

There is no price at which a merchant can sell trash and not suffer for it, nor can the cus tomer afford to buy it at any price. J e n n i e G r i s w o l d , who has been on parole from the Industrial School at Roch ester for some time, was taken back to that institution last week by Mrs. Gulick, one of the attaches, who had been in town investigating certain rumors that the young miss was not conducting her self as her parole demanded.

H a z a r d , the little E'.mira lad who was arrested on Saturday by Nor thern Central Detective Fennel, on a charge of placing an iron and stone on the railroad tracks at Glenora, was arraigned in the Police Court on Thursday. He ad mitted the charge, but denied that he did it with intent to do any harm. In view of his age the charge was withdrawn, and the lesser one of unlawfully riding on a freight train substituted, and he was sent to the Industrial School at Rochester. M r . Albert C. Robinson, who, for sev eral years, has been employed in the gro cery store of MacKay & Co., has pur chased the grocery stock and business of Andrew P. Geoghegan, and took posses sion last evening. T he price of floor hai also advanced. Last week, the price of batter, which had suddenly gone up above30 cents, dropped seven cents in one day, which shows that there was no good reason for the first ad vance. The oppression of the beef com bine appears to be raising hob with the prices of provisons generally.

O n t a r i o County’s wool clip this year is estimated at 200,000 pounds. In the seventies, according to a buyer there, the county produced 1,000,000 pounds an nually. He said: “ When the business was at its height many farmers kept 700 and 800 sheep. Now it Is hard to find a farm on which 100 sheep are kept. For the farmer who is not afraid of work, sheep raising is still a profitable Indus try.” Mr. Wolverton cited the case of one farmer who has 100 sheep which have brought him in, wool and lambs, $750. “ And he still has the sheep,” he con cluded. I t is said that many apple shippers in this State are considering the advisabil ity of packing their fruit In boxes instead of barrels this year. California apples are now shipped in boxes. The Montana apple growers have adopted the Oregon bushel box package. Apples in smaller packages might be a novelty that would take well with the public, and pay the shipper who used them. Few people cate to buy a barrel of apples at a time for home use, and a small and attractive package of good fruit would appeal to them more quickly than a display o f loose fmit. T h e committee of the town board of auditors, which was appointed to Investi gate into the question of whether or no it was advisable to put in a new cross road to connect the lake and Bath roads, about four miles from this place, have decided, after a visit to the ground, that they will not recommend such a procedure.

T he new Board of Villagfe Trustees has not, as yet, taken any action In regard to the unpaid sprinkling tax of last year. It is claimed by some that the tax was il legally imposed. In consequence some paid it and some did not. The old Board, at its last meeting, directed the Clerk to furnish the village attorney with the list of delinquents with instructions to the attorney to attempt to enforce collections on all such taxes remaining unpaid after 20 days. This authority remains in force, but, undoubtedly, it has been considered the part o f wisdom to await some action of the new Board. But be this as It may, It goes without saying that all should be compelled to pay the tax, or else there should be a refund to those who have paid, and the entire sprinkling expenses charged to the village at large. T h e spring time table of the Penn Yan Keuka Park, and Branchport Railway went into effect on Sunday last, and is as follows: Week days leave Penn Yan at 7:15. 9 *5* and 11 a. m., 12 30, 2.15, 4 15, 6.15, and on Saturdays at 7 45 and 9.15 p. m.; leave Branchport at 6.30, 8, 10.15, 11.45 a. m., 1.15, 3.15, 5, 7, and on Satur days at 8.30 and 10 p. m.

The most successful concert singer of the present century. It was Fultoni, at the National Encampment of ihe G. A. R., in Cleveland, Ohio, September 11, 1901, who electrified and moved to tears an au dience of fully ten thousand people by her soulful and passionate rendering of that most beautiful inspiration of the great American Civil War of the Rebel lion, “ Just Before the Battle, Mother.” L ast week the E xpress contained an account of a terrible accident on a steam er on L ake Keuka, by which Morris Mans field lost his life. It has since been learned that Mansfield was an assumed name, the victim’s name having been Myron W. Maynard, It is said that May nard, in 1892, was sentenced to the El mira Reformatory from Albany county, where he served five years under the name of Mansfield. He had been in El* mire about eight months and was work ing on a gas engine for an automobile, which he claimed to have patented. Al derman Clark M. Smith, of Elmira, be came interested in the invention and fur nished financial aid to the deceased. Maynard took out two life Insurance poli cies, both payable to Mr. Smith, the total amount being $20,000. It Is the opinion of the insurance agents that Mr. Smith will only be entitled to each amount out of the policies as Maynard was Indebted to him, the balance going to the estate of thedeceased. M. A. Maynard, of Worces ter, Mass., the father of the diseased, came to Elmira and took charge of the ar rangements for the burial o f his son. The remains were taken to Worcester.

D E A T H O F F R E D E R I C K P O Y N E E R . S ick and Despondent, H e Takes Hta Own I<lte. Tuesday night, April 22, there was a collision in the yard of the N. Y. C. R. R. Co., in this village. The yard engine had been placed on the siding for the night, and when the passenger train, due here at 8.23, came along the switch was open, and before the train could be stopped it col lided with the switch engine,damaging it considerably. The passenger engine was injured but little. As there are no switch lights in the Penn Yan yard, the open switch was not discovered by Engineer Lamoreaux until the engine began to turn. Then he promptly reversed the en gine and applied the air brakes, but it was too late to prevent a collision. A num ber of passengers were standing up when the train was in a short distance of the station, and when the crash came they were thrown down with a considerable force. One man, Dr. W. B. Butler, of Cleveland, Ohio, was hurt some and re mained at the Benbam House, under a doctor’s care, until Wednesday. Im p u re B a k in g Pow d er Seized . THE NEW YORK BOARD OF HEALTH FIND IT CONTAINS ALUM AND ROOK, DBOLARJB IT DANGEROUS TO HEALTH, AND DUMP IT INTO THB RIVER. This community was greatly shocked on Monday afternoon last by the remark ably sad death of Frederick Poyneer, one of the oldest citizens of this village, re siding on Clinton street. Mrs. Poyneer had been engaged in house cleaning. Be tween two and three o’clock Mr. Poyneer left the house. His absence after five o’clock alarming his wife, she requested a passing neighbor, Mr. Alfred Lockyer, to assist in finding him. After searching some time Mr. Lockyer, about 6.30 o’clock, went into the loft of the barn on the premises, where he discovered the body of Mr. Poyneer suspended from a rope fastened to a beam. Mr. Lockyer quickly cut the rope, but life was extinct. The body was cold, and evidently death had occurred an hour or more before. It Is supposed that Mr. Poyneer went to the barn about 3 o’clock. The loft was reached by way of a ladder. He had taken off his hat and coat and laid them aside. A clothes line was thrown over and fastened to a beam about six feet from the floor. Placing the noose around his neck he sunk neatly to his Bended knees, in which position the body was found. Coroner Underwood was sum moned, but did not deem It necessary to hold an inquest, Mr. Poyneer had been in poor health for about two months and had become de spondent, which, no doubt, accounts for his rash act. Frederick Poyneer was about 84 years of age. He was well known throughout the county and had many friends. In early manhood he came to Penn Yan from Columbia County. For about thirty - five years he had been a constable of this town, and had served so acceptably that he was frequently nominated and elected without opposition. Previously he had served as baggage master at the Brie rail way station in this village. He was twice married, his first wife being Rebecca Ellis, of Milo, and the second, Mrs. Sarah M. Lott, of this village, who survives. The deceased also leaves three sons, George and Lawrence, who reside in the West, and Norton, of this village. Railroad Tim e Tables .

Ether Chloroform Morphine The New York papers report that the Health Department of that city has seized as dangerous to health nearly two tons of cheap mixtures sold for baking powder, and damped them into the offal scow to be destroyed. More of the pow der was found in a Sixth Ave. department store. The report of the analysis of the Health Department stated that it was “ an alum baking powder” containing alum and pulverized rock. The different Health Authorities seen to have different ways of repressing the sale o f bad baking powders. In England they have prosecuted the grocers under the general law and broken up the traffic. In Missouri the sale of alum baking pow der is actually prohibited by law. In New York they seize the unwholesome stuff and cast it into the river, without any discussion. The latter way is cer tainly effective. The alum baking powders are usually offered at a low price, ten to twenty cents a pound, or with some prize, as a tempta tion to the housewife. Consumers can protect themselves by buying only high-grade baking powder of established name and reputation. Do not be tempted by the grocer to take som ething else as “jnst as good” or “ our own brand,” for the trials show that the grocer himself is often deceived by un scrupulous makers and is selling an alum powder without knowing it. There are several good powders on the market; let the housekeeper insist on what she knows is right, and not be in duced to risk the life of the family for an imaginary saving of a few cents.
