Don't Want EocKefellur'a Money. Church Loves God More Than Said Dr. Gladden. Mammon Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden, pastor of the First Congregational church of Columbus and moderator of. the general council of Congrega tional church of the United States, in a sermon delivered on Sunday, discussed the gift of $100,000 made by a prominent capitalist to the American Board of Missions. He said in part: " We do not want this man's money. To accept it will be to work the contempt of millions ot honest men ; to reject it will strengthen our churches in the affection and respect of millions who are inclined to doubt whether the churches love God more than Mammon. "Our missions will be richer and stronger without it than with it, and we shall lose nothing by our loyalty to the things unseen and eternal." Oil Find i'xoites farmers. Schuylkill Counlians Orqanize Company tn Prospect tor Gas and Petroleum. Farmers in the vicinity of Mantz, south of Tamaqua, are in a state of excitement over the stories that both oil and gas have been found in the vicinity by prospectors and that a syndicate composed of New York capitalists is making prepara tions to buy up a score of farms. A company has been organized by the farmers and work on drilling a well 1600 leet deep has been com menced. Experts say that if oil is found in the vicinity of Mantz, which lies in the shadow of the Blue Moun tain range, there is every reason to believe that eventually Kastern Pennsylvania will produce as much oil as Western Pennsylvania. Bride ct Now York Broker. Miss Watkins. of Breach ol Promise Fame, Living tn New York.

Her husband is Theodore John Sn, a broker of that city. At Wapwallopeu Powder Mills- The location of a large keg fac tory, installing an electric locomo tive for drawing cars to the mills from the railroad, and other im piovements are contemplated for the Wapwallopeu l'ovvder Mills, Col.

THE 1A0T0RY GIRL- The scene is the interior of a big factory 'in full operation. There are hundreds of wheels and a whiz zing maze of belts; an electric switchboard, a dynamo and a great drive wheel A great steel plunger, weighing over two thousand pounds, rises and falls wi'h clock-like regu larity. All is hurry and bustle till the big factory whistle announces 'time to shut down." The engi neer stops the machinery and the hands go home. The doors are locked and all is quiet. The vil lain, whose dastardly work i s about to begin, is interrupted by his father while engaged in search ing for certain papers with which he intends to ruin his father and brother. Iu the struggle which ensues he forces the father bodily against the deadly electric switch board. There is a flash, a moan, and the father falls dead upon the floor. The brother enters at this moment, and is stunned by a blow from an accomplice who, at the direction of the arch scoundrel, sets the gigantic plunger in motion. In an attempt to cover the murder of his father, he plans a death far more terrible for his brother, whom he throws senseless upon the carri age of the great steel hammer, and then makes his escape. Nearer and nearer stealthily glides the car rier with its human freight; up and down goes the plunger with terrific force. A horrible death awaits him under this ton of steel. The true hearted little factory girl has come to hunt for her sweetheart. She is in the ante room, separated from the engine room by a solid glass partition. . I he heavy oaken door is locked. Upward glides the plun ger and down it comes bang. She sees her lover on the carriage ! One moment more No! No! It must not be. With one grand effort she hurls a chair through the wall of glass and in a moment she is by his side. The hammer is suspended above his head. He is saved. The brave little heroine falls weeping by his side. At the Opera House April 10th Where is Your Boy ? Some crank got off the following, but there is so much truth in it and so much to cause parents to stop and consider, that it is reproduced here, hoping that some parent may take "due notice " and govern him self accordingly: " Twenty years hence the boys of today will be men. They will be doctors and drunkards, lawyers and liars, .senators and sneakthieves, editors and idiots, ministers and murderers, democrats and republi cans, and so 011 down the line. It is impossible to tell for a certainty in just what class your's will be, but it is possible for your boy to be put into such influence as will steer him in the right direction. Follow the boys for twelve years, some of them will be in jail. What class is your boy training for? This brings to mind the sweet song, " Where is your boy to night?" You had better look him up if you don't know. He may be one of the few who will go astray and who, twenty years hence, may .serve a sentence in the penitentiary, or it may be suffer the penalty of death on the gallows. Where was vour boy last night when you re tired ? Fublio Sale Tt'Ksiuv, April 4th. S. H. Ikishline, administrator eic, of Samuel C.

Only one of this num ber can be nominated, yet all feel, for one reason or another, that they are justly entitled to same. It is not my purpose to dispute these claims, but wish to give a few facts, to show that I have not gone into this fight without merit, and why I am ask ing for the nomination of this office at the hands of the Democratic Party of Columbia County, the coming primary election, June 10th. 1905. During the latter part of the Eighteenth Century, when the territory which is now known as Roaringcreek, Locust and Cleve land Townships was still largely a ' 1 J , . wiiaeruess, my loretatners were among the early settlers. These people were the Millers and Rea vers on my father's side and the Billigs and Fahringers on my mother's side, whose families were among the first voters of the Demo cratic Party, and whose descendants have always supported this same ticket. I am the first from this long list of true blue Democrats to ask for an office in Columbia County, and further, the office of Register & Recorder has never been filled by any one from the South side of the rivpr, and it is an undisputed fact that the regularity of those voters contributed to the majority of our party. I not only plead the recognition of those Democratic voters, but earnestly solicit the vote and influ ence of every Democrat, and if elected, am confident that I can honorably fill same. Trusting it will be my pleasure to personally meet and become acquainted with you all, I cheer fully submit to the will of my party. Respectfully, Frank W. Miller. Balmer's Kaffir Boy Ohoir. An evening of delightful enter tainment is promised at the Normal Auditorium Saturday April 8th, when Balmer's famous Kaffir Boy Choir will be here. This is in fact more than an entertainment it is a revelation. Not only do you get the scene and story, but such sing ing as it is impossible to describe. There is nothing like it before the public to-day. Fcr pure euglish, delicate harmony, quaint humor, weird African song, they are incom parable. Every item on the pro gram is given with a spirit that at once catches the audience. The boys sing soprano, contralto and tenor. With Mr. Balmer's bass voice, a complete quartet is formed. The repertoire of the company is as extensive and varied as it is possi ble to wish, consisting of upwards of sixty selections ; solos, duets, trios, quartets, part songs, old melodies etc. All given from me:uory. The Philadelphia Bulletin says: "Immense audience in Bethany Presbyterian Church. Great suc cess. Amaze all who listen to them." The diagram will open at S. R.

Hunter, pastor of the Colerain Baptist Church, Lancaster, 011 Sunday afternoon preached his farewell sermon 111 the church yard ecause he had been locked out of the church by his congregation. His troubles started last summer in connection with a children's day service, when he objected to the use of a cross at the exercises. The Entertainment Committee declared there would be 110 service unless the cross was used, and they had their way, but the pastor was not at the service. Some of the con gregation held to him and a split resulted. A few weeks later, nt a congregational meeting, Rev. Mr. Hunter's resignation was request ed but he refused, and also refused to vacate the parsonage, though since then the church doors had been locked against him. Regular ly each Sabbath he has slipped under the church door a text for a sermon and a cent, his contribution.
