Editor Press: Will you kindly allow me a brief space in your columns to answer the last part of Mose Carpenter's attempted self-vindication in the "Letterman matter," in last week's issue. I would say to Mose Carpenter that he has made another mistake when he refers to "Rip" as "Hercules." Goon and fight "Kip," but let "Hercules" alone, for when you aim your shafts at me you have struck the wrong hen roost and won't need one of Sam McCoole's line-tooth combs for your blond curls, when you are through. I have had nothing to do with this matter what ever. I let family affairs fight family affairs and you have mistaken some of them for me, or pur posely tramped on my toes, and you know what that means. lam never ashamed of my ancest ral namesake. Now, Mr. Mose Carpenter you have dished up a lot of hash in this matter and It has evidently soured on your stomach. The natural conse quence is you have squealed— something for wh icli you are notorious. Yes, notoriety pales its face when you are set up as a squealer or boaster. You may have as many friends as I have, but they were among the missing the morning after the election, when you ran for commissioner, and you went down the street like a Thanksgiv ing gobbler, making everything red, until you ran up against something small in boots. Then i the color changed, but your old ways don't change, Mose, they will be with you until the i resurrection morning, and the apple boughs will ' blossom a good many times before that day. I I have never stooped to protect a felon, either i by voice or pen and 1 am sorry that the accom- I plislied Mose Carpenter, with a home circle as I bright as his, should draw his sword in such a cause and then squeal. HERCULES. j From the Chicago Leader. "Mrs. Clara C.Hoffman, of Missouri, j delivered a most powerful address, entitled "The | Dominant Issue," under the auspices of the West i Side W. C. T. U. in Western Avenue Methodist . Episcopal church, Sunday evening, October 9th. ; The national reputation of Mrs. Hoffman as a j speaker of great force and power drew an im mense audience to this meeting, from all parts of the city, and many .vere at first unable to find i seats in the main auditorium until chairs were brought into the aisles. | Mrs. Hoffman spoke for nearly two hours with I great eloquence and fervor, and those who have i heard this gifted woman declare it was one of the finest efforts of her life. The rich melody of ' her strong voice, Hie deep pathos >t her pleading, combined with her handsome, motherly face, added to her strong magnetism as a speaker, held her hearers in rapt attention."

Last Sunday was the last Missionary Sunday for this conference year in the M. E. Sunday School, the collection for this Sunday amounted to $37.. r >B»sl2s for the year. After the study of the lesson, the superintend ent said that he, personally and as an officer of the school, regretted very much that we would to-day lose a friend and for eight years a faithfuj teacher of a class of young men, by 11. A. Cox moving to Philadelphia. When he looked over the school, there were just four teachers who have a clasa to-day, that were teaching five years ago when he first took charge of the school, viz: Mr. Huntington, Mr. Cox, Mrs. White and Mrs. Larrahee. When Dr. Benedict, of State College, visited this school last October, about the first thing that he called attention to was Mr. Cox's large class of twenty-two young men in Sunday School. But Mr. Cox has taught his class to-day probably for the last time. Who is going to rise up and take his place, is a question that gave the superintendent much concern ? He advised each member of the class to follcw the exemplary life set them by their teacher. The class having appointed Orlo Jordan, Don M. Larrabee and W. O. Downey, as a committee to draft resolutions, which they read at this time, as follows: WHEREAS, Our teacher, Mr. H. A. Cox, isabout to permanently sever his connection with us and take up his residence in Philadelphia. There fore be it Resolved, That we take this occasion to express to him our sincere and high appreciation of his long continued and efficient faithful services as teacher and our earnest regret at parting with him. Serving this class as teacher for many years, he has increased its members, inspired it with zeal and its work of great benefit to all the i members and we improve this opportunity of cordially expressing to him our respect, our love and our gratitude. Mr. Cox made appropriate reply to the resolu tions, after which the school sung a song selected by the class: "Soon the Heaping Time Shall Come for the Se ds We've Sown." Closing piece sung by the school: "We'll Never Say Good-bye in Heaven." After the school was dismissed the members bade Mr. Cox good bye. Harry F. Jordan, a member of his class wrote the follow ing: 'Twas a bright and glorious Sunday, Nature seemed to lend her aid In staying winter's reign for one day ; Spreading ioy o'er hill and glade. Through those long and quiet hours The birds seemed saying, come, be glad ; Yet within this class of ours Every heart was sore and sad. Our teacher, loved, respected, Through these many years has been Teaching us to be protected From the curse of shame and sin. But he leaves us on the morrow, i n ~♦»»«,. his cross to bear ; Leaving us alone in sorrow. Lightening not our load of care. But we still will be contented, As it is uur Master's will; And the ties that were cemented, Now will bind us closer still. Though lie may have felt morose, Thought his teachings were in vain; He shall bear his fruit with those Who have labored in Mis Name. TliougH we never more may meet him, While we miss him more and more; Yet we hope we all may greet him Over 011 the other shore. Next Sunday this school will give a collection for the support of the pastor. It is hoped every member will give something, so they can say ' that they supported the gospel at home, as well as in foreign lands. This new feature of the Sunday School, taking a collection for the sup- j port of its own pastor, is one that should have the support of every Sunday School worker. The j Sunday School teaches its members to give to I foreign missions, but does not give the younger i scholars an opportunity to support its own pastor. ; Forty-eight new members were received in this school since first Sunday in January. A visitor' to this school gave its superintendent twenty-five dollars for a library for the primary department. Model blocks to teach with have also been adopted for the primary room. Accidents. FALLS INTO A CELLAR. Last Friday, while Mrs. A. Kresge was engaged moving liis household goods from the house on Fourth street known as the Crea ton v property, had the misfortune to step into a trapdoor, falling into the cellar, a distance of seven feet, breaking her left leg attheankle. Dr. Hcilman was called and reduced the fracture, after which she was taken to the home of her son, Harry Kresge, on Fifth street. UNDER THE WHEKLS. Tuesday, about two o'clock, Chas. Kresge, de* siring to ride up to his father's home, on Wes 1, Creek, attempted to board a fast freight, at the I'. iV E. depot at this place l - He was thrown un der the car and it is a miracle that he was not ground to pieces. The brake beam caught him. throwing him against the wheels, but before the wheels passed over his legs, he was pulled from under the car by two men standing a! the depot. Hi? left leg was broken at the ankle and other wise injured. Dr. Heilman was called at once and the injured man taken to the home of his brother. Many witnessed the attempt of the young man to board the train and were surpris tosee the effort, knowing that lie would be either killed or maimed. The injured man had just re covered from a week's sickness and being weak, it was a very foolish attempt-even for a well person. To the Public. Realizing that there arc a great many people who would like to have photographs of themselves or their families, but owing to the extreme hard times, really have not the money to pay for my Beat work, and the cheap work they don't want. Appreciating this fact, that my customers know good work when they see it, and will have only the best when they do get it, 112 have concluded to reduce my prices to suit the times and within the reach of all. Beginning March Ist, I will make my best Cabinet Photo graphs at $3.00 per dozen. Thanking you for past favors and hoping to receive a liberal pat ronage in the future. I am very truly, J.

A NEW SIO,OOO STONE CHURCH! Emmanuel Episcopal Church Prepar ing to Erect a Stone Edifice. The rumor having been circulated lately that a new church would be erected by the Episcopalian congrega tion of this place, the following from The Parish News, published at this place, will be interesting to the friends of the church, as well as all who love to see new signs of prosperity and im provements in our town: While we are not able as yet to an nounce that the Rector, Wardens and Vestrymen of Emmanuel Church have made the final plunge in undertaking the construction of a new stone Church, we are glad to say that the present outlook for that project is very favor able. A short time ago the Vestry ap pointed a committee to take subscrip tions for the new church, and it is ex pected that this committee will be able to report progress in a few days. De fi nite promises aggregating more than $6,000 have already been given. We need SIO,OOO, and the prospect of get ting it is good. Just how soon the work of construction will begin—pro vided the necessary amount is sub scribed—we of course are not able to_ say, but we see nothing to be gained by an unnecessary delay after the funds have once been subscribed. It may be that we shall be able to begin the work this spring. We hope that it will be possible. We may state briefly some of the reasons for undertaking to build a new Church. The present Church is an old frame building and cannot be expected to last an unlimited number of years longer The time is sure to come sooner or later when it will be actually unfit for purposes of worship—at least without expensive alterations and re pairs. But why not let the morrow take thought for the things of itself? Why assume the burdens of the future in advance? Why not wait until the old Church is actually becoming use less before undertaking the construc tion of a new church ? We answer that the present is in a much better position to bear the burden than the future is likely to be. It may not be so easy to got SIO,OOO ten years hence as it is now. By the time the old church has become actually unfit for building. At the same time we should remember that in all human proba bility a Church will be need hero for all time to come. While the future does not seem to have any phenomen al boom in store for our town, Empori um will always retain its position as the political and industrial center of Cameron county, and it is inconceiv able that the Church w ill ever abandon the firm foothold which she has main tained here for so many years. While we do not advise crossing bridges be fore we come to them, we do believe in making sure that the bridges will be in place when the time comes to cross them. In other words, it is our duty to consider the future needs and future resources of the Parish, and to make the fullest provision in our pow er to insure something more than a bare struggling existence of the Parish in the years that are to come. But there are present as well as future needs to be considered in dis cussing the advisability ofa new church. Our parochial activities are handicap ped for want of a parish house. If we build a new Church, the old building can be moved to the rear of the lot and used for a parish house. We would thus bo provided with a suitable place for holding our Sunday School, guild meetings, festivals, etc. As regards the new Church itself, no one will deny that it would be an advantage in the present as well as a necessity in the future We believe in an honest and reasonable economy; we are op posed to extravagance, whether in in dividuals or parishes, we do not think that clothes make a man, nor do we think that a fine church makes a parish. But is it not true that a man's clothes go a great way in showing what he is? And is it not also true that the church building goes a great way in showing what the parish is? It is a duty which individuals owe to themselves, and a duty which tliey owe to society as well, to dress just as well as they can honestly afford to do; and it is a duty which a parish owes to itself and to the community at large to provide itself with the most substantial and at tractive church building that it can honestly afford to build. It would not be fair, of course, to hide from ourselves the sacrifices which this eft'ort would involve, and also the increased expenses in keeping up two buildings instead of one. The property valuation of the Parish would be considerably increased, and this would mean increased assessments for the Convention and Episcopal Funds. It has been objected, too, that a parish with a stone church is expected to do better by the various Church Boards and charitable causes, and that this parish lias enough of such appeals already. Wo shall leave the Christian spirit of the parish to deal with this objection. The sacrifices which a new church means will not all be on the part of the parish. For the Rector it means that for the present he must forego—what he would otherwise be justified in asking—an in crease in his small stipend. Don't squander §6O for a steel range when you can purchase a better one at Walker, Howard & Co.'s for less than half the money. Don't be fooled. First-class drugs?
