The noble work executed by this society calls for a liberal response from the people of all creeds: Philadelphia, June 9th, 1898. j To THE REVEREND: Dear Sir: —The Associated Society of the Red <'ross of this City and State, is making, stren uous efforts to equip an ambulance corps and field hospital, to send it to the front immediately and to maintain it. To carry out its plans successfully a large ex penditure of money will be necessary. The peo ple are responding generously to the appeal, hut the contributions are not commensurate with the undertaking. The society must act speedily in the matter. The urgent need for its services' iu this line is undisputed. An opportunity is presented vou to ameliorate the iriseries and sufferings ofthose tossing in the deli rum of fever in tropical islands or wounded on the field of battle. To whom should we appeal, if not to the Christian Church; the source and stimulus of all great philanthropic movements? We beg most earnestly that you will take a special offering for this work on Sunday, .June 19. The Red Cross Society (organized under the articles of the Geneva Treaty of 1864, which afterwards was ratified by all civilized nations) "devoted to those humane and merciful minis trations, deserves the hearty co-operation and aid of ail good citizens who estimate at their their just value, the patriotism and de votion of those who fight in their country's cause." Its efforts are "for the alevia tion of the horrors of battle and for the relief and comfort of those who must die." Because of its international character, the flag of the Red Cross Society is exempt from attack and its goods from confiscation. Terrible would be the calamity that would fall upon a nation violating the provisions of the Geneva Treaty. Because of its magnificent organization and years of experience, it is exceptionally competent to utilize supplies and funds without waste; and because of recognition by our Government, it has unusual opportunity for thoroughly effective work with our troops. The Society does not so much ask large sums from individuals as it does eagerly beg smaller contributions from many. If you will help to supply our needs by pre senting this cause to your congregation on June 19th, the Society will feel very grateful for this concession and favor. If you can consider this request favorably, | kindly send the offerings to the Headquarters of the Red Cross Society, addressed to Frvsinger Evans, Treasurer for the Fund, 1501 Chestnut street. Very truly yours, WILLIAM CLARE ALLISON, FRYSINGER EVANS, Chairman and Sec'y of Committee. Goodwin Hanged. WELLSBORO, June, 9. Walter E. Goodwin was hanged in the jail yard lie re at 12:351 o'clock to-day. He was composed to the last, and exhibited every of the bravado which has characterized his movements since the jury pronounced him guilty. After he had been taken with en closure he spoke and as anticipated reiterated his innocence. His first re marks were: "I will say to you gentle men that I have fallen into the hands of ii just God. I fear not what men can do. Gentlemen, are you all as near prepared as I am " Here he paused and conversed for a few seconds with the sheriff and clergyman. Sheriff Johnson then addressed the crowd saying: "I have talked with Walter and he wouldn't go without expressing him self truthfully. Goodwin then continued: "Gentle men I can forgive every one of my enemies for testifying against me." After another talk with the sheriff Goodwin continued: "Gentlemen I wish your attention about this crime now charged against me. The deed was done by Gertrude Taylor and this is no lie. I could not face death and tell a lie. The people with any mind at all will say that I could not tell a lie at this time. I will say to the peo ple that I was implicated but did not do the very actual deed." Here Goodwin broke off and had another talk with the sheriff, after which he said: "Gentlemen it is the power of Christ that holds me up at this moment. I hope to meet you where we will part no more." The Rev. Mr. Wynne prayed silently while Goodwin uplifted his head and closed his eyes. Mr. Wynne said: "We thank the Almighty for the evi ! dence that Walter has given his heart to Thee and now we leave Walter in thy hands." "Farewell sheriff. I hope to meet you all in heaven," said Goodwin and at 12:35 the rope was put on Through the black cap Goodwin said, "God bless you Mr. Johnson." A moment after the trap fell and the body shot downward. The knees drew up and the hands twitched, and at 12:36 Dr. Bacon applied his ear to the chest and at 12:45 the rope was cut. The three brothers and brother-in- I law had previously carried in the I coffin and the body was placed in it j and taken to Buckley's undertaking | rooms where it will remain until to : morrow morning.

To Become the Rector of the New St. Joseph's Church at Oil City. It is hinted in Catholic ecclesiastical circles that Rev. M. Meagher, of St. Leo's R. C. church, of this place may be assigned to the rectorship of St. Joseph's church in Oil City. While nothing definite of that char acter has been done as yet, it is gener ally understood that the Ridgway priest can be promoted should he so desire. The vacancy in the Oil City church has been left by the death of Rev. Father Carroll, and the parish is known as one of the most desirable in Western Pennsylvania. The church at that place is a new one and one of i the finest in this section. The con gregation is a large, wealthy stud influ ential one, and should father Meagher be assigned to the rectorship he would find a church and people awaiting him that he could well be proud of. There is a large and flourishing paro chial school connected with the church and by the will of the late rector,ss,ooo has been bequeathed for the erection and occupancy of a house by the sisters who teach at St. Joseph's school. Three thousand dollars were bequeath ed for the support of the school, and three thousand dollars for the poor fund of St. Joseph's church. Father Carroll by his will also left $2,000 for keeping in proper repairs St Joseph's cemetery, so that it can readily be seen that the parish is a most desirable one for any priest in this diocese. However, were Father Meagher to consult his own inclinations, it is not likely that he would care to leave Ridgway. He has toiled and labored here for the past twenty-four years, and the fruits of his hard work are seen in his rapidly growing congrega tion and the magnificent church build ings that ha% e been erected through his instrumentality. Father Meagher came to Ridgway when he was a young man,but twenty three years of age, and through all the intervening years he has labored zeal ously for the advancement of the Lord's kingdom. He is universally esteemed and re spected for his many good qualities, not only by his own parishoners, but by the members of every other Christ ian denomination in town. It is to be sincerely hoped that he will not be called away from the people he has served so well and faithfully for many years, but should he be, he will receive the hearty and sincere con gratulations of Ridgway people on his good fortune and advancement.—Ridg way Democrat. An Old Campaign Relic. On Flag Day, Mr. J. F. Parsons sus pended a streamer in front of his resi dence on Fourth street, that during the Seymour-Blair and Grant-Colfax campaign, floated from the top of the Hag pole in front of the old Democratic wigwam, which formerly covered the site now occupied by the residences of Mr. Fred Julian and Dr. S. S. Smith. The year of the Centennial, Mr. Parsons had the names of Seymour and Blair removed from the streamer a*ul substituted thereon the dates 1776- 1876. At the close of the Centennial he laid the streamor away in an old trunk, where it remained undisturbed till a few days ago, when Mr. Parsons happened to run across it and decided to hang it out on flag day along with the Cuban and American flags. What is the Trouble ? The number of school children who wear eye glasses must be noticeable to everybody. Middle aged people have no recollection of such a condition when | they were children. Are we becoming weaker, or is it the spectacle man abroad plying his trade to ail unusual extent? Or yet are our children con fined in school too many hours, or re quired to study too much at night? Watching the pupils of the schools as they file down the street when released, it will be noticed that about one in every ten wear a pair of glasses. What isthetroble? No such condition ex isted twenty or thirty years ago.—Som erset Democrat. Social Dance. A social dance will be given at the opera house. Emporium, Pa., Friday evening, June 17th, 1898.

Death of firs. Chas. Hall. MRS. HANNAII HALL, aged 76 years, j one month and four days, died at the j family residence, on Clear Creek, June j 9th, 1898, after a painful illness of eight | years. The funeral took place on Sun day last, at 2:00 p. m. Rev. Johnston, pastor of M. E. Church, Emporium, officiated. It was one of the largest funerals ever held in this section—over forty carriages being required to con vey the friends of the deceased to the church, where the services were con ducted. The M. E. choir rendered the singing of appropriate hymns. Mrs. Hall was greatly respected by all who knew her for her many good qualities of heart. She was ever kind to the poor or afflicted and her many little acts of kindness will long be re membered. Too Mot for Austin. While Emporium may not be located within the limits of the torrid zone, nevertheless, our boys demonstrated to the Austinites on Saturday, that we are pretty warm anyway. Emporium went to the bat only eight times and won out easily by a score of 10 to 5. In the absence ofMcFadden, the regular pitcher, Hemphill the six teen year old twirler of the second nine was putin the box, where he did excellent work, striking out nine men and the visitors being un able to find him but a few times. He also did good work with the stick. The leading features of the game was the clever catch made by Walker, of the Austin team, who captured a fly after jumping a barbwire fence; the one hand catch by Gainey and double play to Pearsall and the double by McGee to Pearsall. A Tribute to an Artist's Worth. The many friends of Miss Eliza J. Scliulze, the well known artist who has been conducting a studio at this place, for sometime past, will be in terested in the following clipped from the Erie Hearld of recent date: "The elegant oil painting at H. J. Sevin's art store is attracting much attention, it is owned by Mrs. J. K. P. Hall, of Ridgway, it being a portrait of her eldest daughter. It was painted by Eliza J. Sehulze, the artist so well known in the scientific world by her illustrations in natural history. This skillful artist shows herself a close student. In her illustrations we find the strictest adhearance to nature of the smallest details, while her land scape work detail is dropped and charm and breadth is grasped, and a | fine feeling for nature displayed on the | canvas. The clearness and tenderness I of her flesh tones and wonderful rep- I resentation of fabric may be seen in the portrait. Mrs. Hall is to be con- I gratulated upon possessing such a j work of art." His Arm Torn Out. Thirteen year old John Seewald, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Seewald, of 642 Second street, met with a frightful ac cident at the West End planing mill ! about 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning. | Yountr Seewald, whose father is em j ployed at the mill was in the habit of ! accompanying the latter to work, to I look after the belts. Yesterday morn j ing the lad while endeavoring to run | on a belt caught his left arm in it. | The rapidly moving belt whizzed J around the shaft and completely tore j out the lad's arm together with part of i the collar bone. The severed mem j ber was not found until after a, two l hours' search among the machinery, j The lad was taken to his home and 1 Dr. C. W. Youngman summoned. On the physician's arrival the unfortunate boy was placed under the influence of ether and the terrible opening in his side dressed. The shock, together with the large i quantity of blood lost, will probably be I more than the boy's strength is equal | to and slight hopes are entertained for i his recovery.—Williamsport Bulletin. Asleep on the Railroad. Last Saturday night, Asa Kritner, who has been employed as night watch man for Messrs. H. C. Rich & Co., at Gardeau, met with an accident that came near causing his death. The young man had been working during the day and watching the engine at night for three days and being tired sat down on the W. N. Y. & P. Ry., track "to get some fresh air." The lad fell asleep along side of the track, his right arm laying on the rail. One of the hill pushers came down the hill, running over his arm, completely ser vering it above the elbow. The maim- i ed young man with wonderful nerve, j ran down the embankment to his own engine and blew the whistle to stop the hill engine, but without effect. He continued to blow the whistle, but failed to halt any of the passing en gines. His mother and brother, who reside some distance from his station, heard the alarm and came to his as sistance. Dr. Smith was summoned from Emporium during the night and amputated the arm below the shoulder. We are pleased to learn he is getting along nicely. Young Kreit ner is a very industrious young man and his misfortune is deeply regretted by his friends. Adams Express Company. In order to attain distinction and become reputably conspicuous, yet at the same time without any fulsome ness, the Adams Express Management appears to be determined. The record it made at Camp Hastings, Mt. Gretna, Pa., will ever remain a happy reminis cence to those of the officers and pri vates who enjoyed its services in times of sore discomfort. Its arduous and faithful discharge of duty during the Civil War shall never be forgotten. A trait its officers appear to most sedul ously strive to inculcate in the hearts and actions of its people is to do a thing right or not to do it at all. The display it will make at Reading, Pa., seals this as conclusive. Without any ostentation, with the same freedom from parade that charac terizes the movement of its numerous special trains over the Pennsylvania Railroad, through the manipulation of the General Manager, and General Superintendent of Transportation of that system, it has arranged to make an exhibit at Reading on Thursday that will doubtless surprise the good people of Berks and other counties who witness the procession. Reading, indeed, is to be honored by the appearance in line of one of the Company's mammoth vans, the capac ity of which is almost equal to a car, a vehicle whose dimensions are, length, 15 feet; height, 6 feet 9 inches; width, 5 feet 8 inches; height, from ground up, 10 feet 9 inches; weighing 4,800 lbs. This van will be drawn by fonr fine bay horses, equipped with beautiful harness specially sent from New York, and will be followed by four horse double, and other single wagons. When one considers that the express business was inagurated by this con cern in 1840 through the medium of a hand satchel, followed by the intro duction of a wheel-barrow, until it has reached its present costly and extensive equipment, it would appear that good management prevailed during its en tirety. The great van referred to was sent to Reading by special movement of the Pennsylvania Railroad last Mon day night, and is already a conspicuous feature of that thronged city. It is needless to say that these vehicles are not kept in stock because of their great cost, lience the citizens of Reading can feel distinguished indeed because of its appearance there, although it is understood, by those who know, that the Adams Express Company simply wanted to testify its sincere apprecia tion of the good fellowship of the people of Reading by this unusual dis play upon its part and did so cheer fully. Reflections of a Bachelor. ; Only a small proportion of civiiiza j tion is civil. j Whatever the average woman does ; n't like she says is "just like a man."

A country editor puts tho old ques tion in new shape, and says to his sub scribers: "Brother, don't stop your paper just because you don't agree with the editor.
