There are dozen pension agents in this city, and their time Is almost wholly taken up In attending te business brought them by the enactment of the dependent pension bill. The applicants for government bounty are very numerous, hundreds already hav ing filed their claims. The new pension law gives any soldier a pension who makes an affidavit that he Is unable te de manuel labor. Whlle It may net hnve been Intended by Congress that business men and these re. tired from' business with a competency were te be granted the benefit of the government's bounty, tinder the law, as It reads, nothing can prevent such going en the government pension rolls if the neces sary affidavits are made that they are un able te .perform work. .Frem three te five hundred applications of residents of this city and county have already been tiled for pension under the new law, and new applications are being tnade dally. Among them are some very deserving persons, undoubtedly entltled te be sup ported by the government. There are I ethers of the classed nbove mentioned who were among the first te call upon the city pension agents some getting there before 1 the necessary blanks were received, ready te swear te the facts necessary te put them I upon the government pay roll. Seme 1 never did manual labor because they were net required te. and they conclude that they can consistently take the oath because I they never did that kind of work. Many soldiers in fair circumstances, who never had any notion of applying for a pousien, are being urged te de se, net se much by the ponslen agents of the city as by these of Washington. These agents have the name and postefflco oddress of I every soldier, and almost dally soldiers are : in recelpt of circulars setting forth In : glowing colors the case with which, they can be put en the pension rolls. The men who were In the army from 1801 te 1865 as a rule were opposed te this late pension law. They took the position that men who were disabled should be pen siened and that it was tee seen te place en the roll these who went te the war at Its close and never participated in an engage ment. These latter class, the veterans say. re tbe enes who will be benefitted by this law and roceive money te which tiiey have 1 net any honest claim. FRIGHTENED OFF. " i A Colored Burglar In Chased By a Police O nicer. A mau, who is supposed te have been a burglar, was frightened away from the resi dence of A. J.

He made his escape ever the back fence, which he broke down in getting ever it. The officer blew his whistle and uwakened the family, but an examination of the premises showed that nothing had been stelen. It is quite likely that the thief was frightened off tee early in his game. He doubtless beard the officer coming up Shlppen street, and thought it was koide ene coming up the yard of the heuse, as etherwise be would have escaped into the yard Instead of into the Btrcet. Officer King lest sight of him in the darkness of Shand'syard.

The Secretary Says We Need Net Fear Cholera or Yellow Fever. ( The following report ei the secretary of the State Beard of Health, BonJareln Lee, M. V will be read at the sixteenth regular meeting of the beard te beheld in Harris-bnrgte-day. . "The appearance of Asiatic cholera al most simijltanoeusly at six different points In SpaliiTcevering a distance of two hun dred and fifty miles in a straight Hue and probably Mur hundred by rail, indicates a very considerable survival of germs efthat disease from last summer along the shores of the Mediterranean. Their wide dis semination and early maturity make a grave epidemic in that region, and, It may be lb Southern Kurope generally, prelMble. ',We t this country, however; have little te fear. Our quarantine stations, na tional, state and municipal, were never before se well equipped. That of the pert of 'New Yerk, which is our most valuable point, Is fully twlce ns well prepared as it was when it se successfully checked tbe In vasion of the dlseose at the threshold three .year age. Philadelphia the next most likely point of attack, has a duuble line of inirencnmenis, tne i.imiroue or municipal quarantine station, twelve miles down the Delaware river, mid the United States quarantine station, eighty miles below, at Cape Uonlepeii. The latter Is provided with a fumigating steamer, just llnished. which is capable of disinfecting the largest vessel in a lew bourn. "The Baltimore station is weil equipped and under intelligent management, and suspected vessels ler that part, as welt ns for Norfolk, are also detalned at Cape Charles by the United State, marine hespi- fwsi rjqtviuvi us in an in tuu uruii' uviiifiute Biid most scientifically constructed of any in uiu country, aiiuuiu uiu uiswuhi iuaa these barriers, however, its mede of pre pagatien is new se thoroughly understood that it will boa reproach le local health authorities if it is net at once stamped out. "It is their duty te Immediately put thelr cities and towns into such a condition of cleanliness that the germs will find no con- fenlal soil. The Bute Beard of Health has u preparation a new circular en this sub ject, which will shortly be Issued. "The report of yellow fever carried te Spain from New Orleans Is mere than doubtful. There is net mere yellow fever In Seuth America and Central America than usual at this season. Our greatest danger is from Cuba, the 'ever faithful' nud ever filthy Ule, via Flerida. "The precautions which are taken en the Plant Line of steamers, aud at Key West and Tampa, make Its introduction by that route unlikely. The Tact that there were no cases of the disease in that state lest summer indicate that its germs had ail perished. " Time enough has elapsed Blnce the last epidemic te greatly improve the sanitary conditions of our towns. Theexperience then gained will citable the authorities te meet with entire confidence any outbreak that may occur, and the oxistenco of a State Beard of 'Health will prevent the Irregular and ill-advised action which has marked previous epidemics. "The floods in the lower Mississippi valley haie left many places along that river in a state of great destitution and the conditions are such as will, probably, In duce malarial fevers of such vlrulonce that they msv easily be inlstaken for yellow fover. Ve mey therefore expect false alarms. Should the disease actually ap- Iiear, there will be sucli a concert of action etween the different state beards of health, and belween them and the United States quarantlne authorities as arranged for at their recent couferouco at Nashville, that it will no doubt be restrained within nar row limits, without a resort te the bar bar bar barlous'expedlentof shotgun quarantines, sucb as have disgraced the country in iermer outbreaks of this much dreaded pestilence."

Con siderable has changed hands already. though the harvest is but two days old. Captain A. II. Ingram, whose farm adjoins Oxford, has considerable wheat planted, and says it will yield forty bushels te the aero. Other farmers in tbe sama neighbor hood say they will get but twonty-three or twenty-llve bushels te the aero. The farmers in the northern part of the county de net reach double figures iu their estimates. Fight aud nine bushels, many of them say, will be all they will get. Ne fanner In the county romemtjors such a hay crop as will be harvested this year. Tbe largest barns de net bold it, and en overy farm are lines of liumense stacks of nay ler which mere was no room in me barns. Again lu Trouble.

THBTKAClinnS' ASSOCIATION. ProecedlUKs of Wednesday' Session In Mnueli Chunk. Wednesday morning's session of the Teachers' association was devoted te memorial addrosses ou the life and ser vices of the late Suporintendent of Public Instruction Dr. E. E. Higbee. The lead tug addrefs, delivered by his successor In efilcv, Hen. Dr." J. Waller, gave the main facts of his life, and eulegised his virtues. Dr. lllgbee was born in Vermont in 1830. He graduated at the university of ills native state In 1819. Asa youth he oxcclied in ail athlctle sports; In Ills mature years as a scholar he was second te nene who have ever occupied the position of state super intendent lu any commonwealth In this union. After many years of conscientious and successful work as a jmster and as a teacher, in 1881 he was appointed superin tendent of public Instruction. Frem that tlme the teachers of Pennsylvania honored him as thelr educational head, as k scholar and as a man. Superintendent Burrowes shaped the school system of the state; Superintendent Wickcrsham, with his ?reat executive ability, completed It: )r. Illgboe, with his enthusiasm, aroused the poeplo and made possible the great progress of the pant nlne years. Largely through his influence, handsome, new school houses have been built, the school appropriation Increased, the mini mum scnoei lerm loiiRiiienoo, ami me character of the Instruction greatly Im proved, He also did much te allay tbe antagonism se long existing between tbe colleges and the Nermal schools. Brief remarks were made by Superin tendent Heuc.k, Dr. Brooks, Superintend ent Stewart, Dr. Phillips, Dr. Lyte, Prof. Deltrlch and Miss Lloyd, and then the sorvlces wero brought te a fitting close by a paper read by Dr. HIgbee's warm per sonal friend and co-laberor, Professer Mc Caskey, of Lancaster. The chairman of the Higbee memorial fund announced that $3,131.45 had been contributed, and the association appointed a cemmittee of flve te use the money for tbe purpese Intended. At the onening of the afternoon session Bedford was solectod as the place for the next meeting, aud then nominations wero made te fill the offices of the association. The commltleo en exhtblts reported an admirable display of all kinds of school work. A resolution authorizing the ap pointment of n committee en legislation was adepted. Prof. Jehn 8.

PROPER USES OF SUNDAY. Cardinal Gibbens Reunrds the Day As (Snored Beth le Rollslen mid te Rolnxntlen. Cardinal Gibbous contributes the follow ing te the discussion as te the proper uses or Sunday, preclpltulcd by Sunday base ball games: I think that Sunday should be, first of all, u day dovetod te religious worship, and second te Innocent and haalthful recreation us belng the only day In which the great masses of the poeplo have lima te book re laxation from their work. The danger Is lu the oxcess elther way, and I entirely agree with Dr. Weld (pastor of the First Indopendont Christ's church) In deprecat ing the closing of our art gallurles, libra ries. Ac, absolutely te the public. Presup posing that a certain portion of tbe day is set apart for religious oxercisos, I think that any recreation that will contribute in the physical, mental and moral bonellt and enjoyment of the messes should be on en on ceurugod. I think that base ball is a gsme that Is in conflict with the qulet doceruni and tranquillity that should characterize the observance of the Lord's day, und Is tee violent an exercise te be conduclve te such harmony. But whatever may be the abuses arising from Sunday base ball, I regard tbe base ball pluyers und observ ers of the game as far less rosnenslblo than tliose who would utter from the pulpit en the Lord's day unjust and uncharitable statements about thelr neighbor. The Christian Sunday is net te be con founded witli the Jewish or ev n with the Puritan Sablmlh. It prescribes the golden mean b6twoen rigid Sabbatarianism en tbe one hand and lax tndtllgouce en the ether, 'lhorels Httle doubt that the revulsion lu publle sentiment from n rigorous te a loeso observnuco of the Ixmi's Day can be ascribed te the silicon) but mlsgulded zeal of tbe Puritans, who confounded the Christian Sunday with the Jewish Sabbath nud impesed reslmlntH en the poeplo which wero repulsive te Christian freedom und which were net warranted by the gospel dispensation. The Lord's Day le the Ch 1 1st Ian lieai t Is always a day of Jey. The church doslies us en that duy te be cheer cheor choer fill without dissipation, gniveuml religious without sadness and melancholy. She forbids, lndeed, all uuuovessary sorvlle work en that day, but as the Sabbath was made for man und net man for tbe Sabbath she allows such work whonever charity or necessity may demand it. As It is a day consecrated net only te religion but te relaxation of mind and body she permits us le speud a portion of It In Innocent recreation. Surntegu Lud In Luck.
