We abstained from making reference to these millions anxiously awaiting the heirs in America to re lieve them of their long imprisonment in Germany, because we did not have data to build on. The heirs having the proper ‘‘open sesame’’ documents can open the doors and get at the boo- dle. A prominent and highly respected member of the connection referred to, a native of this valley but now a resi- dent of Illinois, who would share in | these millions, sends us a note of in- quiry, from which we copy below. Parties interested can get the writer's name by calling at this office. He writes : “1 have a letter today (May 5) from a relative in Penn’a asking what our branch of the family is doing to secure a share of the Estate of Burkhard Mus- ser or Mosser in Germany, I suppose, The letter states that the Millheim Mussers have a lawyer at Bellefonte employed to look after their interests and that our branch of the amily Is as near as they are, “For my part I have heard but little about this matter and that some years ago and I do not know anything about it and scarcely know where to begin to find out what isknown. “The statement is made that there is an estate of $55,000,000 to be divided and that the whole matter must be di- vided and closed up by 1601."

This act was amended April 11, 1899, and the judge's opinion, therefore, applies only to the interim between the passage of the original act Christian Endeavor Anniversary. * The U. Ev. Christian Endeavor so- ciety, of this place, celebrated its sec- ond anniversary in the church on last Sabbath evening. The audience room was full to overflowing. The Presbyterian Endeavor society attended in a body accompanied by their pastor, Rev. Christine ; the ma- jor part of the Luther League also at- tended, these, with people from town and vicinity, comprised a crowded au- dience. The exercises, confined to the members of the Endeavor of the U. Ev. church, were interesting through- out, and opened with prayer by Rev, Christine. Pastor Rhoads used a brief opening service, when the program in each of its appointments, recitations, essays, and music, was announced in order by the leader, Mr. John H. Puff. The music was excellent, with Miss Ida Rhoads as an accomplished organ- ist, and Mr. Frank Smith as leader of the vocalists, consisting of the Society. The SBociely is only two years old, but in that brief time built up wonder- fully under a stick-together-and-work incentive, The large audience left, well pleased. A handsome collection was lifted, preceded by a few pointed remarks from Pastor Rhoads. The ladies did not forget the matter of floral decoration and beautified the pulpit surroundings with their finest aud rarest plants. st — a — Will Have A Big Day.

Temperance, in the church, Monday evening, was well attended notwithstanding the all-day rain. The lecturer is calm in his delivery and attracts the closest attention by the conservative yet for- eible and impressive manner in whieh he treats the subject with which he is entirely familiar. The ministers of our town were present and a fair rep- resentation of their congregations. Music was furnished by a choir of 30 voices from the different church choirs of our town, and it was a rare treat, excellent in choice and admirably | rendered, evidencing that our town is not at all deficient in talent, male and female. Mr. Cushing's lee tures in this county are delivered un- der the auspices of the W. C. T.
