The Inter-Church Federation Confer ence, now in sessions in New York City, is an outgrowth of a sentiment that is every year becoming stronger. Yet we must not think that the desire for unity among Christians is a thing of recent origin and growth, or that this present conference is the first movement that has been made towards bringing some sort of practical order out of the ecclesiastical chaos. It is not the first of such movements, nor is it likely to prove the last. For this reason we should not hope for too much from it. A year or two ago an Inter-Church Conference on divorce, held in New York, recommended cer tain legislation to the various ecclesi astical bodies represented in it; but BO far as we know the recommendation has not received the slightest attention from any of the denominations to which it was offered. It is a compara tively easy thing for the representa tives of various churches to agree up on some lins of action which in their judgment might with profit be follow ed by their respective churches; but it is another and more difficult matter to get the various authoritative bodies to adopt the recommended course of action. One is tempted to draw a cynical contrast between the vast amount of labor and talk that attends tho organization and conduct of an inter-church conference, and the infin itesimal results which seem to come from it all. Two generations ago there was a movement somewhat similar to the present proposed federation. The be ginning of the Evangelical Alliance, in ISIS and following years, was marked by a degree of interest and enthusiasm which seems to be wanting in connec tion with the present movement, yet one hears nothing now of the Evangel ical Alliance. It still maintains its or ganization, as we see by referring to Strong's "Soaial Progress" but what it is doing to carry out its objects (Christ ian unity, religious liberty aud co operation in Christian work; does not appear. Though the present proposed feder ation recalls the Evangelical Alliance, there is a marked difference in the ob jects of the two movements. The chief concern of the Alliance was for the maintenance of a certain type of doctrinal beliefs, and it is to this cir cumstance that it owes its present de cay. The controversies and shibbo lettes of two generations ago have been largely forgotten. Advances in biblical scholarship, the subtle iutlu ence of the scientific spirit upon theology, and the growth of the spirit of practical social service, have canst d the modern Christian mind to see things in a new perspective. The chief concern ot the proposed | federation may be summed up in one j word: practical service. Its purpose I is not so much to define Christ, as to carry out His will. Many practical difficulties will atti nd tho formation and work of such a federation; but its object is one that will endure. Though its beginning may not be marked by the enthusiasm which attended the formation of the Evangelical Alliance, the Observer ventures to think that the proposed federation may do more than did the Alliance towards the realiza tion of Christian unity. Ought Unitarians to be admitted to this federation? Inasmuch [as the aim of the federation is that of practical service, why should Trinitarians refuse to co-operate with an organization which numbers among its member** such men as President Eliot, Dr. Ed ward Kverett Hale, ex-Secretary and the Hon.

"A beautiful story beautifully told." such can be said of"The Holy City" that was seen at the Union opera house Wednesday, on its second season. As the name implies the production is founded on the Bible narrative and hence was one that everyone under stood and with which all were familiar. The story is very similar to that of "Ben Hur," but the time is very dif ferent. The customs and scenery were historically correct and when one be held the various scenes, it seemed as though time had been eliminated and one were living at Jerusalem, intent as any of the rabble, wailing for the development of the prophecy of John the Baptist. As for the acting, suffice it to say that it greatly exceeded ex pectations. As the plot developed, one forgot that the actors were men and women of this age, as it seemed as if one were looking 1800 years into the past. Of course, Clarence Bennett as John the' Baptist and Judas, was great; a greatness made by the perfect sim plicity and harmony with which he took his parts. The acting of Maud Selden as Elizabeth was excellent and she from the first to the last won tho hearts of all the audience. The re mainder of the company was equally strong and should the play ever again come to this city, it will not lack friends —New Philadelphia, 0., Daily Times. Possibly Fatally Injured. Frank McManigal, who resides on Third street, Emporium, and employ ed as fireman on P & E. R.R.,met with aii accident that will possibly prove fatal. On Monday evening, about six o'clock, while coming west on train 99, he leaned out of cab and was struck by some projection, (some think a door of a car and others say a board) from extra train 736 going east, as the two trains were passing each other, about one inile west of Keating. He was thrown from his engine and found some distance back lying between the tracks, with his feet on the east bound track Train 83 was coming and he was found just in time. He was in an unconscious condition and severely in jured about head. East bound train was stopped and the injured man taken to Emergency Hospital at Re novo, but same night taken to Wil liamsport Hospital. His wife and sister ( Mrs Geo. Hur teauiwentto Williamsport on Tues day's Flyer and found the injured man in a serious condition and still uncon scious. There seems to be small hope for his recovery. Made His Sneak. A colored man, confined in our jail lor breaking into Datt'l McCormick's saloon, has been giving the sheriff' llo end of trouble since his confinement at Fort Hemphill, made his sr.eak Tues- I day morning, while Kerr Hemphill was fumigating his cell, hustling up the stairs and bolting the door behind him. After escaping out of the back door he ran up the road took to the Emporium & Rich Vaiiey R. R., the last seen of him, being near Thos Joyce's farm. The escaped prisoner was in his shirt sleeves and without hat, therefore will be forced to either give himself lip or i call for assistance on account of the cold weather. Sheriff Hemphill and deputies up to Tuesday night were un able to locate their man, who is evi dently a weak minded creature and lias feigned insanity while confined in the jail. Almost Drowned. Mrs. Skinner, an aged and respected lady residing on Clear Creek, met witli serious accident last Wednesday (Bth while going to tier mail box She miss ed her hold 011 the bridge and fell into the creek, but managed to hold to the pier with 0110 hand and kept from drowning until help reached her.

Bell, who resides with his family in one of the Wiley houses, east of Junction, on Monday evening ac cidently shot his daughter, Mrs. May Tate, aged about 20 years. As near as we can learn the particulars Mr. Bell had traded revolvers with his son and holding up the fire arm sighted on the lighted lamp standing on the supper table, at the same time pressing the trigger. Instantly there was a report which extinguished the light, the ball also striking his daughter in the stom ach. The injured young lady was taken to Williamsport Hospital Tues day afternoon but died from the injury yesterday noon. Her remains will ar rive here to-day. Undoubtedly the funeral will take place to-morrow. Christmas Photographs. I wish to call the attention of my customers and advise them to place there orders for Christmas crayons as soon as possible.

The Sinnamahoning Liars Club is in full blast in Pap Blodgett's shop, every night in the week but Sunday. The old ex-members sit with tears in their eyes, listening to the yarns sprung at these interesting gatherings. The old members can't compete with the young blood that has started in thi* winter and threaten to withdraw and apply for a new charter, not allowing any person under 50 to become a member. It is too bad to shut out old members that have stuck to the gospel truth for over forty years. The hunting sea son is on and the way the young mem bers have chased and seen so many deer, without killing any, is a caution. Pap Blodgett and Berlield take their share in believing half that it said, it being against the rules to dispute a member it his story is too large.
