ment of the Appointments.
The’65th annual session of the Allegheny
conference of the United Brethren church

ing. The session had been a very success-
ful one and among the matters.of interest
developed from the various reports of com-
mittees and officers were.
There were about eighty ministers, with
as many lay delegates present.
Rev. J. I. L. Ressler, presiding elder of
the East district, presented a very encourag-
ing report, showing that good work had
been accomplished during the year. He
has 40 charges on his district, including
several missions. He traveled during the
year 8,641 miles and preached 186 times.
On his recommendation the following com-
mittee on camp meetings was appointed :

at Quincy. The valuation of the institu-
Hon is $24,000, and the net valuation $19,-
0.
The agent of the United Brethren Pub-
lishing House at Dayton, Ohio, addressed
the conference. He said in part: The
“Religious Telescope’’ has a circulation of
over 20,000 and ‘‘The Watchward’’ over
30,000." We employ about 150 persons,and
pay to our employes over $1500 per week.
The trustees have planned for a new build-
ing, 40x126 feet, widening back 90 feet to
60 feet, and fourteen stories high, costing
$250,000, and bringing into the treasury
$3,800 per year rental. In addition to the
above new building, the present building
is being rebuilt in the rear 80x90 feet. Dr.
Funk spoke with reference to the United
Brethren Review.

.cease during the hours of public worship.
2nd. All disorderly persons shall be compelled
to leave the grounds immediately.
ard. All diversions such as walking about the
preaching place, smoking and talking during the
services, are strictly forbidden within the tent
enclosure.
4th. The distinct purpose and aim of these
grove meetings should be Bible study, popular
and devotional ; the preaching of the Gospel,
conferences, methods and evangelistic meetings,
and the presiding elder shall see to it that these
rules shall be fully agreed to by the authorities
of all the camp meetings before they arrange to
hold further sessions.
5th. That we, the ministers, of Allegheny con-
ference pledge ourselves not to attend any camp
meetings that will not comply with the above re-
quirements.

MiLToN’s Bic FAIR.—The annual fairs
of the Milton association have always attra-
cted the people because there i always a
good show there. There are plenty of
exhibits and fine stock, which interests the
farmer and stock-raiser; there is always a
magnificent line of fancy work—the ouli-
nary department and domestic products—
that always please and interest the ladies,
and the interesting races and entertaining
attractions that please everybody. There
is an entire absence of gambling and gam-
bling devices and the best order is always
maintained. This vear’s fair promises to
eclipse them all. Everybody down that way
is going to the Milton fair—it will be held
on Oct. 7th, 8th, 9th,

Penny Bath for the Poor.
Floating bath houses will dot the
Chicago river next summer, and the
poor will have a chance to keep clean
at the rate of 1 cent a bath, says the
Chicago Chronicle. Henry E. Weaver
will find the money to build the barges,
buy the towels and the first cargo of
soap, and the bath houses will be ex-
pected to pay for their keeping after
that. But this is not all. Artistic foun-
tains will adorn the ghetto district, and
it will be Mr. Weaver's money that will
build at least one of these.
“In Europe fresh running water does
much to make the cities attractive,”
gaid Mr. Weaver. “Why should not
the same be true in Chicago?”
The bath scheme comes from Bonn
on the Rhine. “They have floating bath
houses there that measure 40 by 100
feet,” said Mr. Weaver. “Thousands
bathe during the season, and the inhab-
itants, no matter how poor they may
be, are always clean. The advisability
of a floating bath house may be readily
seen. Sometimes the poor will not trav-
el far to bathe, but bring the means to
their doors, and it is a different mat-
ter. The barges are moored to the
bank and remain until the inhabitants
of one section of the city are clean.
Then they float down the river to an-
other point. The charge of 1 cent will
pay the cost of keeping the baths. The
water in the Chicago river is plenty
good enough to bathe in.”
The Suburban Home.
The suburban house expresses free-
dom from restraint; it is the home of
children; it means purer air; it means
more room to move around in; it means
gardens, and it implies a social life
which years of city living may never
engender. These are matters of first
importance, and when to them is added
the material advantage of lower rents
the superiority of the suburban house
over the city dwelling is established.
There are long rides by trolley or
train; there is the necessity of keeping
early hours; there are difficulties with
limited grocery, butcher and bakery
service; there are other practica} draw-
backs. But over and beyond these is
the abiding space of freedom of move-
nfent, of ample air and sunlight, of a
place to live in.
And that is exactly what a house is
for. It is neither to look at mor to
serve as an ornament to a highway.
That it should be ornamental and
should be viewed with interest are
matters of course that are extremely
desirable, but after all it is the house
within that counts; that makes sub-
yrban life bearable, adds to its joys,
increases its advantages, cements its
superiority to every other sort of liv-
ing unless it be the country life pure
and undefiled.—House Beautiful.
New Plan to Teach Japanese.
The learning of Japanese will be
greatly facilitated by the abandonment
of their peculiar way of writing and
printing their language. Ten years ago
the universities inaugurated the Tre-
form. Next year the use of European
(English) letters will be begun in the
public schools, and this will soon lead
to their general nse.

Messrs Neubaker, Curtin, Hazel, Thomas

ion of the evening and appreciation of if
was showed in the continued applause and
repeated encores. This quartette is cer-

gressiveness of the young men in the Potter-

firms can boast of such a quartet.

John McKivison was whirled about a
shaft and seriously hurt.
The accident was caused by his clothing
being caught in the machinery; drawing
him ahout the shaft. He made several
revolutions before the machinery could be
stopped and when he was released it was
found that he was hurt so badly that Dr.
Coons, the company physician decided to

Emetios were administered and he is get-

An 8ft piece of rope ‘was found in his

~ WEATHER FOR OCTOBER.— According to
| the Rev. Irl Hick the weather for October
: should be about as follows :
Cloudy and threatening weather will
| prevail as October comes in,but the barom-
| eter will fall, the temperature will rise,
| and active storms of rain, wind, lightning
and thunder will touch many localities
| about the 2nd and 3rd. A partial cessa-
tion of rain and storminess may follow
| these storms, with a brief and rapid rise of
| the barometer, but look for speedy return
| of storm conditions on and 'tonching the
5th. A very low barometer, high tempera-
ture and humid atmosphere will most like-
i ly result during the first stages of these
. storms, and these conditions may he re-
garded as positive forerunners of very heavy
i gtorms. Storms in a progressive way will
! last, possibly, through the 7th to the 11th,
and northern sides of storm areas will wind
up with touches of early winter. Rain
! will turn to sleet and snow in the extreme
north, the barometer will rise fast and
high, and ‘‘great guns’’ of northerly gales
: will rush down over the northwest, espec-
_ially the lakes, bringing frosts with danger
i of early freezing.
Some very brisk autumnal storms will
pass from west to east across tbe country,
on and touching the 14th, 15th and 16th.
All of these October storms will be more
vigorous, and should be watched with
more vigilance on and about the great
lakes, It is problematical whether this
period will subside normally, or he pro-
longed and merged into the period
mediately following.
High temperatures for the season will
appear on and touching the 18th, a decided
and rapid fall of the barometer will follow
the warm wave from western sections, and
autumnal thunder storms will visit many
parts of the country in their march 'eass-
ward about Sunday the 13th to Thursday
the 220d. Before the tropical features in
these storms have disappeared in the east,
sharp horeal conditions will appear in the
northwestern and northern sides of the
storm areas, bringing October snow and
sleet, a high barometer and rushing gales
down out of the northwest.
The fifth storm period will center on the
25th and 26th, about which days the cold,
northerly winds will shift tosoutherly, the
barometer will fall, higher temperature
will return and more rain, with snow, per-
haps, northward, will visit many sections.
The regular change to rising barometer,
northerly winds and cold, fair weather,
will follow this period. - The last two days
of October constitute the first two days
of a regular storm period, the center and
culminating stages of which fall in Novem-
ber. .

MECHANICAL JERUSALEM.—One of the
most novel devices{ever constructed is the
mechanical City of Jerusalem, which will
be shown on the Centre county fair grounds
pext week. Of it the Elmira, N. Y.
Gazette, where it is being exhibited this
week, says :
One of the star features of the fair this
week is the mechanical city of Jernsalem.
This is a mechanical show and comprises
the city of Jerusalem as it was in the days
of Christ. Christ and the apostles are
represented by the moving figures and the
entire city of Jerusalem’ just as it was.
This is pronounced by the press and the
pulpit as one of the finest performances
that has ever been exhibited in this coun-
try. y
This marvelous production of skill and
inventive genius ranks among the most re-
markable mechanical works of the world.
Mr. J. B. Miller, a German painter and
model maker of Warsaw, Ill., the sole de-
signer and builder, while traveling in the
east, saw a model of the Strasburg clock on
exhibition. After examining the mechan-
ism, he concluded that he could build an
automatic work that would- excel it. He
selected Jerusalem as the subject and after
12 long years of patient toil, under great-
est difficulties, success crowned his efforts.
The structure when placed on exhibition
stands 15 feet high and 20 wide; all the
buildings, the temples and palaces are
built up in full relief and the people, ani-
mals and vehicles pass through the streets
as in real life. Christ and the apostles are
seen passing through the country meeting
the funeral of the widow’s son. - When the
processions meet, the Saviour stops and the
entire scene of the raising to life of the
widow’s son is'enacted by these miniature
people, with impressive and dramatic effect.
Other scenes appear at intervals. The
blacksmith 18 at work with real fire in his
forge. birds sing with natural voices and
movements, chimes of bells occasionally
give melody to the scene. The whole work
is alive with animated figures with electric-
ity as a motive power. It has been ex-
hibited in all of the principal cities of the
United States, including a two year’s tour
on the Pacifio coast.
This magnificent production is acknowl-
edged to be most beautiful, chaste and re-
fined exhibition now in this city, and
especially recommended to the ladies and
children.
