What Important Features Pertain to
.Those of This City.
MEAGER HOLIDAY CONTRIBUTIONS.
A'.General Idea Presented of the Scope of
'.the Institutions.
AS INTERVIEW WITH DK. JTCLELLAND
It is, or should be, a natural thought at
this season to those in luxuriant, or even
comfortable homes as to how the sick and
suffering without the pale of the cheerful
home fireside are provided for. A very for
cible and impressive discourse, delivered by
the Rev. Samuel Maxwell at Trinity
Church on Sunday night last, upon the sub
ject of hospitals, suggested the idea of visit
ing those in our midst, and learning some
thing of their management and general con
dition. An interview with the mother superior of
Mercy Hospital, Sister Magdalene, revealed
the most perfect order in this institntion.
She stated that the number of patients ad
mitted during this year far exceeded that of
any previous year, reaching 1712. Of these
an unusually large proportion were on the
charity list. Regardless of this fact, how
ever, she said that the donations were less
numerous and proportionately less liberal
than at any corresponding season for lyears.
"Though we did not solicit any, we did not
receive as much as a single turkey either on
Thanksgiving or Christmas day, and large
firms with whom we have expended hun
dreds of dollars have entirely ignored us.
TVe have received from five persons
?500, but expect however still further
contribntions from a few who never forget
us." This was the first hospital established
in Pittsburg, and boasts great completeness
in its various appointments. A stroll
through the various wards of the
WEST PENN HOSPITAL
showed uniform neatness and order and
every evidence of tender care for the in
mates, now numbering 218. In reply to a
question as to the present resources of the
institution and the probable means of in
creasing the same Mr. Cowen, superinten
dent said: "We receive from the State ?25,
000 annually; the sum derived from pav
patients generally aggregates $15,000; this
supplemented by 515,000 interest on the
Allegheny Sanitary Hospital fund makes
a total of "553,000 per year which is all that
we can positively depend on." It might be
oi interest to know that this "Sanitary hos
pital fund" was derived from a fair held in
Allegheny City during the war to support
Pennsylvania soldiers who were disabled
in the service. Two-hundred thousand dol
lars net was the handsome result. This
amount was placed in trust with the West
Penn Hospital with the stipulation that it
should be so used; this has been most faith
fully carried out The number of soldier
inmates ranges from 25 to 35. In addition to
food and medical treatment they are fur
nished clothing free ot charge.
THE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION
was organized hpre November 8, 18S8, and
will doubtless prove a great advantase.
Mr. Cowen in speaking of it said: Its first
and most important object is to bring our
institutions prominently before the masses,
and this can be best accomplished by con
cert of action and system in procedure. In
the inauguration of the movement the su
perintendent of each hospital was notified
by an official letter from Secretary of the
Board of Directors, Mr. George L. McCoy,
the day of meeting appointed, and an earn
est co-operation requested. In response to
the suggestions the representatives of West
Penn, tlie Homeopathic and General Alle
gheny Hospitals met and on
replyjwas eer received from Mercv Hos-
pital, hence they do not belong to the asso
ciation., Ooe of the most notable features
originating with hosDital associations was
the establishment of 'Saturday and Sunday
hospital boxes.' It is not generally known
that these boxes are only put up for two
days in the year, or doubtless the result
would be larger receipts here.
In Pittsburg the boxes were put up last
Saturday and the result is not yet learned.
AN INCREASED DEMAND.
"Our general facilities for accommoda
tions are little better than they were ten
years since, though the demand upon us has
more man aouDied. During the year end
ing September 30, 18S9, we received 1853
cases; 439 have been received since tha$
time. At present there are 216 inmates; 119
of that number are free. The regular
capacity is 170, but bv arranging cots on the
floor, we are managing to take care of the
additional 46. A mansard roof along the
entire front is being now built, which, to
gether with the two-story brick addition
now nearing completion, "will increase the
capacity to probably 60 more beds. Our
expenses last vear were 67,000, exceeding
the income. 12,000."
Mr. Cowen has the interest of the institu
tion and the welfare of its inmates warmly
at heart, and is enthusiastic in the work to
which his position calls him.
It was pleasing on entering each ward to
be confronted by a Christmas tiee of unusual
ly large proportions, each of which had been
liberally strung with presents. These were
the generous gifts of Miss Tindle, a daugh
ter of Dr. Tindle, of Penn avenue.
ALLEGHENY GENERAL HOSPITAL.
To the above institntion a visit was next
paid, where, under the able management of
Miss Plorence K. Tildesley, who has super
intended the institntion since its opening,
February, 1886, the same general air of
comfort and evidence of attention to detail
was noticeable.
On being interrogated as to the affairs of
the hospital generally Miss Tildesley said:
"We have from our modest beginning had
an increase in the number of patients each
year of about 200, and have treated up to
date something over 1,200. We have had
during the present year 123 cases of typhoid
fever, and the mortality has been less, as
shown by the statistics, than in other hospi
tals here.
Onr training school for nurses has been a
marked success. There are now 19 tafcing
the course. Many that we,'ve turned ont
have secured responsible positions else
where. Our great drawback has been lack
of room and this deficiency traced to its
source means lack of money. Though the
State Board has recommended an appropri
ation for us, there were no further steps
taken, the Governor having vetoed former
applications of this character and given
very emphatic expression otherwise of disap
proval. We have many good triends who
assist us to some extent Eecentlv 1,000
letters were sent out setting forth our wants
and the responses from our business men in
the way of merchandise of uverv ilpiu-rintinr.
was exceedingly liberal. Though onr ac
commodations are limited we have never
yet refused a patient. Our average of free
patients has been 66 per cent.
HOT TO BAISE MONET?
Upon the subject as to the best means of
raising the money so much needed for carry
ing on this great and good work, Mr. J. C.
Patterson, financial agent ot the hospital
was asked his opinion. He said: "We have
tried various measures, butnone so far with
that degree of success which the real exi
gency of onr affairs demands, and which we
heartily worked and earnestly hoped for.
The Executive Committee in December,
1688, concluded to print a large number of
circulars and have them prominently posted
in the various workshops mills, factories
and other public places in the city.
These circulars, nfter setting forth
briefly the object of the "Saturday and
Sunday Hospital Association," con
tained a statement of whet the hospitals
had done during that vear, showing that
2,293 charity patients had been treated dur
ing that time at a cost of $86,642. Their re
ceipts (from all sonrces combined) for that
year were $56,386.52; deficit, $30,455.48. As
the working people mainly make up our list
of patients, we naturally concluded that to
. .i -
TV
succeed in bringing this matter to their at
tention would be to secure their aid. Im
agine the chagrin and disappointment we
felt when in numerous instances the proprie
tors of workshops, mills, etc, refused ns
even the poor privilege of placing these cir
culars in their establishments. Since then
we hare made no attempt at advertising ex
cept in a limited way in the newspapers.
THE HOMEOPATHIC HOSPITAL.
A call at this hospital found the Superin
tendent, Colonel W. "IX Slack, occupied
in attending a meeting of the Execu
tive Committee, hence no statement of
details could be obtained. An interview
with Dr. J. H. McClelland on hospitals and
their needs proved most interesting, though
pressing professional duties precluded its
extension to any length.
"I have devoted 25 years of my life to the
practice of medicine and surcery, and a
large share of it has been given to hospital
work. The hospital is a necessity. We
need more of them here, and those we have
now should be enlarged.
Most pressing among our immediate ne
cessities is the establishment of a hospital in
a central location for the treatment ot acute
diseases aud emergency cases. Next the es
tablishment of one for incurables. It fre
quently occurs that patients with contagions
diseases apply for admission at the general
hospitals. The necessity and justice of re
fusing them is evident, though the report of
such occurrence recently brought forth ad
verse and untair criticism. The State
Board of Charities 'pronounce our hospitals
equal in every regard toany in the country,
while the famous physician and Surgeon
Dr. Keith, of Edinburgh, cited the Homeo
pathic the best constructed and appointed in
the United States.
TO FEND OFF GERM ACCRETIONS.
There is a continuous effort toward elimin
ating what is called hospitalism that is the
accumulation ot diseased germs in pne
building and this is being rapidly accom
plished, so much so that we rarely ever have
anything that approaches what nsed to be
the bane of snch institutions.
In Europe people point with pride to
their magnificent hospitals, and there is
neveradayin the larger cities without a
meeting oi some character to consider and
promote their extended usefulness. That is
what is the matter with our people. They
do not lack liberality, but they do seem to
lack a proper degree of interest in a matter
which is ot the most vital importance to the
entire community. If their pride can only
once be stirred 5p there will not much
longer be a complaint of insufficient friends,
inadequate quarters or the absence of any
thing which may minister, to the wants of
the suffering sick.
SOME WORKHOUSE STATISTICS.
What the Day After a Holiday Shows and
the Mortality Percentage.
Since the day when Cain fractured Abel's
skull with a club crime has been rampant
upon the earth, but it is noticeable in-looking
over prison records that there are cer
tain periods during a decade and during a
year when the number of inmates is tripled.
Whether the increase of crime at such
periods is caused by changes of the moon,
indigestion, changes in the earth's orbit, or
to the presence of his ratanic majesty on
this little ball in the vast universe is a
question for psychologists.
A glance over the workhouse records for
the last nine years shows that on the day
succeeding Christmas the following number
of persons were incarcerated within its waits
forofleuses of various degrees of gravity
agains: society: In 1880 there were 333
males and 62 females; in 1881, 328 males and
79 females; 1882, 507 males and 67 females;
1883, 482 males and 84 females; 1884,739
males and 96 females; 1885, 755 males and
81 females; 1886, 597 males and 60 females
1887, 703 males and 74 females; 1888, 635
males and 50 females; and for the 26th of
December tor the present year, 63d males
and 76 females.
It will be noticed that in 1882-84-85-86-87-fS8-89

-ganized. No I 10 Per ,eDt of t'le entire number of prison
n Mercv Hos- I ers- Superintendent Warner said that at
the last meeting of the National Prison As
sociation the question of mortality had been
discussed. The mortality is greatest among
the convicts in the Southern States,especial
ly in Alabama and Tennessee, ranging from
5 to 16 per cent, while at the workhouse the
percentage of mortality, during the 19 years
which it has been in existence, is only y of
1 per cent among the 48,000 prisoners who
have been confined there during that time.
Only 124 prisoners have died within its
walls, which speaks well for the sanitary
condition of the prison and the work of its
officers.

One Man Who Will Try and Settle Discrep
ancies, In nii Accounts.
Boston, January 1. Mr. Gideon P.
Brown, formerly senior member of the failed
arm of Brown, Steese & Clark, and Treas
urer of the Riverside and Oswego Mills, ar
rived here from Canada yesterday." He dis
appeared mysteriously from Boston on Au
gust 6. He said to a reporter: "I have very
little talk to make about my affair. Enough
has been said. I have this to say, however,
that I have returned voluntarily to Boston
to do all in my power in the settlement of
'my affairs and those of the firm. I felt that
my departure was a mistake that I 'would
not have made, but the blow came upon me
so suddenly and was so unlocked for that I
found myself going away from Boston al
most without knowing it
"My health was no affected that it was a
long time before I regained complete posses
sion of my faculties. Now I have returned,
and will do all I can to effect a settlement
There was no reason lor my leaving. If I
had had proper time for reflection I would
not have done so. I never at heart intended
to wrong any one."

THE TALUE OP SHALL THINGS
Considered With Helerence to Results in
Wooing Fickle Fortune.
PATIENCE AN ELEMENT OF SUCCESS
In laying plans for the new year, which was
ushered in with much ceremony yesterday,
it should no't 'be overlooked by anyone, no
matter what his avocation may be, whether
bankeror merchant, mechanic or appren
tice, that in everylineof business, no matter
whether conducted on alarga or small scale,
it is the little things that count
The little expenses, the little wastes, the
little economies, are the ones that turn the
balance of accounts, either for profit or loss,
and it is these little things that need the
closest attention. The larger, more im
portant details of every business are care
fully looked after, there is very little chance
for neglect, carelessness or oversight The
workman, who spoils a costly piece of ma
chinery, or causes a loss of any considerable
account, is held responsible, and is gen
erally very careful in this respect, but in
little things he is not as prompt in exercis
ing care and economy, and these little
things are looked upon as of no consequence,
and as having no real value.
A gentleman who. beginning npon barely
nothing, sneceeded in building up a large
and profitable business, and retiring with a
considerable fortune, when asked not long
ago how he managed, what was the secret of
his success, replied: "By saving what other
people wasted, looking after the little things,
and seeing that not a thing was thrown away
or cast aside as too small or insignificant to
be of any value. A few cents here and a few
there make up quite a sum in the course of
a year, and It was by paying careful atten
tion to the little details, by looking after the
cents, that I have made my dollars." ,
A GOOD ILLTSTRATIONi
A young man applying to the late Stephen
Girard for a situation saw a pin on the floor.
He picked it up and put it away. The act
was noticed by Mr. Girard. who, rightly
thinking that a man so careful in small
things would be equally careful in large
ones, employed the young man, who soon
rose to affluence.
There is a great deal more in this than
most people would be willing to admit
Theyaie in too much of a hurry to make
dollars to look out for the cents.
A poor or incompetent and disinterested
workman is nof only a poor man to employ
because he is incompetent but becanse he is
wasteful and careless about small things.
Take some of our very large manufactories,
where hundreds of employes are engaged,
and unless the most watchful care is exer
cised, the amount of waste that is lost would
go far toward paying running expenses.
In these times of close competition, when
it becomes an absolute necessity that every
possible item be carefully turned to account,
the exercise of economy in small things is
being more rigidly cultivated. Profits at
best are only smallj and these are made con
siderably less by the wastefulness of careless
and untboughtful men.
Nor is it alone in the factory or workshop
where the necessity of looking after these
little things makes itself apparent. She
workingman of to-day, with his wages
scarcely sufficient to provide for the home
comforts and necessities of life, has the most
urgent need to practice
ECONOMV. IN SMALL THINGS,
and it is surprising to note what an amount
of waste is made by those who have the most
need to practice economy. A few cents here
and a few there seem mere trifles, and are
not regarded as of any particular conse
quence, or as having any material relation
to the annual expenses; but if a careful ae
count were kept for a single vear, the result
would be astonishing, and" jnst here is
where the difference lies between individnals
and corporations. The latter have learned
by a comparison of the strict accounts,
which are an absolute necessity with them,
the lesson of economy in small things.
Everything is put down and can be
looked over and studied, and its effect upon
the total noted, and this is a lesson which
should be learned by individuals, and work
ingmen especially. By them, as a rule, no
account of daily expenses, or even any ex
pense, is kept They receive their money
and it is spent Atjhe end of the year not
one among them can tell where his money
has gone, or for what purpose, whether he
has made a profit from the time and labor
expended or not; and for this reason, as
well as that he may see where- and how he
may economize and save something, even if
only a small amount the workman should
keep a strict and careful account of daily
expenditures and receipts.
Such a course wonld not only result ben
eficially to him personally, but would make
him a more careful, painstaking and valua
ble employe. Carelessness at home, or of
one's personal interests, breeds carelessness
of others' interests, and there is nothing
which an employer notices more quickly,
and is more willing and ready to appreciate
and reward, than a display of care and in
terest in the little details by a workman.
It cannot be expected that a man who is
careless of bis own welfare and interests
will exercise any more than he is obliged to
do nnder the watchful eye of the foreman or
proprietor, or care for those of his employer.
THE VALUE OF PATIENCE. "
It is, then, all-important that every indi
vidual exercise this watchfulness of the
small things in business and in private life.
The employer must guard himself against
loss by the carelessness and wastefulness of
his employes. The employe should be
equally vigilant in watching his own per
sonal interests, and all should remember
that it is the little things that count
Patience is another element of success in
business of whatever kin'd. The fretful,
discontented man may succeed, but the
chances are against him. ' The same remarks
apply to mechanics and apprentices. Noth
ing 6hould be glossed over to save a little
time. Anything worth doing at all is worth
doing well. Good work is a recommenda
tion to the man who does it Patience has
made mny a man rich.
By following these rnles," or rather princi
ples, success will be easier aud life made
more pleasant; for carelessness is the cause
of a great many of the difficulties which
beset the path of the ordinary man; while
impatience hinders the accomplishment of
results which would be salutary and helpful.

rsrrciAL tjxiobjlm to thi dispatch. 1
New Tobk, January J. When the Pan
Americans were in this city there was a
small group of the Spanish-speaking dele
gates who did not join the general body in
eating big dinners and celebrating publicly.
They obtained the services of a young
Spaniard who has lived here a long time,
and saw the town in their own way. It seems
that they wasted little time on the conven
tional sites, but devoted themselves strictly
to business, and bought a lot of real estate.
In this group were Senor Henriques, Count
Villareme and Countess Chambord de
Peseta.
The Countess Chambord de Peseta bought,
through Ames & Co. and others, W.Bourke
Cockran's house, 125 West Sixty-fourth
street, for a residence. This house was
originally bought by Mr. Cockran for his
own residence, but he changed his mind
about it, and put it on the market Of this
purchase Mr. Cockran said:
"Many of the Spanish-speaking 'Ameri
cans, who have been ana are acquiring
property here, will go into the export busi
ness. Others may go into banking. I un
derstand from them that thereasons for their
action lie in the low rate of interest obtain-,
able in the Spanish-American .States. They
are highly gratified to be able to invest in
such n way that they may gain 4 to 6 per
cent net for their money. In their own
countries they say that the returns from in
vestments would be barely 1 percent A
good many more purchases of real estate are
likely to follow."

Against the Hani a Body.
State Vice Councilor Stephen Collins, of
the Jr. O. TJ. A. M., was asked yesterday
whether it was true, as recently stated, that
a general movement would be started to
drive the Hungarians from the Connells
ville region. Said he!
"No action is being taken by the order as
an order looking to the expulsion of the
foreign element from these regions, but it is
quite possible that individual members of
the order are taking such steps. You are
aware that there is 'a very strong feeling
among Americans and naturalized Amer
icans against the employment of men of
such character as these Huns are known to
be. The Jr. O. V. A. M. are agitating for
the passage of a measure which will limit
or altogether restrain the importation of
this class of emigrants; but other than in
this respect it is not taking action regard
ing them."

Interesting Facts Concerning the Bea

A GEEAT WORE OP EARLY DAYS

Collapse of the Ditch.
HOW THE SHERIFF DISPOSED OF II
ICOXSXSFONSKHCX 01" TOT DISPATCH.!
In view of the appointment of commis
sioners to determine the feasibility of a ship
canal between the Ohio river and Lake,
Brie, a brief history of the old Beaver and
Erie Canal, commencing at the mouth of
Beaver creek, may not be void of interest.
As an outcome of the great Canal Conven
tion, held in Harrisburg in 1825, the State
resolved to improve the water-ways of the
Commonwealth. The impulse given by
this convention took shape in the act of
1826, and under its provisions the State be
gan the construction of the Pennsylvania
Canal, with a view of extending it to Lake
Brie. Careful surveys of the routes from the
Allegheny and Ohio rivers to Lake Brie,
were made and filed in the proper office at
Harrisburg, and after a great contention be
tween the partisans of the different routes,
the Canal Commissioners selected the route
by way of the Beaver and Shenango valleys,
as tbft most available, and it was known as
the Erie extension of the Pennsylvania
canal.
The first appropriation of (100,000 was
made March 28,1831. "Charles T. Whipps
was the principal engineer, with M. B.
Stealer and Joseph Hoops as assistants.
The ground was first broken for the
canal at New Brighton July 26, 1831.
in the presence of a large concourse of peo
ple. Major Bobert Darragh was Marshal of
the day, and was assisted by a numerous
staff. The honor of throwing out the first
earth was accorded to the Revolutionary
soldiers, some of whom were present From
1831 to 1843, the State expended on that
portion of the Canal, between the Ohio and
New Castle, the sum of $511,671, being
$176,354 more than the estimated cost of the
twenty-four miles of canal and slackwater.
On that portion extending from Brie south
ward, the sum of $3,180,567 was expended
by the State. It was a mucb greater un
dertaking in that day, considering the finan
cial condition ot the people, than even a
ship canal, as now contemplated.
IMPOBTANT LEGAL DECISIONS.
In 1843 the Brie Canal Company was in
corporated, and the State turned over to the
company the whole line of the canal on con
dition that the company finish it in 18
months, and with a reservation that if the
company abused or violated its charter the
State might declare the charter void and
resume the property. This reserved right
as, however, relinquished by act of May 8,
1855. The act of 1826, as well as the char
ter of the Brie Canal Company, provided
that these canals should remain as public
highways forever.
It was decided by the Supreme Court, in
the case of the Commonwealth vs. McColIis
ter etal.,2 Watti, 190, thatinanyland.taken
and used in constructing the publio canals,
under the act of 1826, the Commonwealth
took an estate in fee simple, and this decis
ion was followed in the case of Haldeman
vs. the Pennsylvania Bailroad and Craigvs.
Allegheny City. These decisions, although
directly opposed to decisions in similar cases
in both New Jersey and Ohio, will fnrnish
the rule and be adhered to in any future
controversies relating to canal property.
Whatever interest the State had in the land
used in constructing the Beaver Canal passed
to the Brie Canal Company under the act of
1843, and the logical effect of the Penn
sylvania decisions is to carry the title of the
company from shore to shore, in the pools
formed by the canal dams a result some
what remarkable, but it is so written.
In 1867 the company desired to enlarge
the canal, and by act of March 15, 1867, was
authorized to do so, and to increase the cap
ital stock $1,500,000; and by act or May 17,
1869, power was granted to mortgage the
canal to the extent ot $5,000,000. Nothing
seems to have been done under either of
these acta. By act or March 31, 1870, the
company was authorized to sell aud transfer
its canal property and franchise to any rail
road corporation within the State, or1 to con
struct a railroad in the bed of or along the
towing path, to be called the Lake Brie and
Pittsburg Railway, and to abandon the
whole or any portion of the Brie Canal.
SOLD AT SHEBIEF'S SALE.
Prior to 1870 the only mode of collecting
a debt in Pennsylvania from a canal or rail
road company was by sequestration, in
which proceeding the property of the com
pany was placed in the hands f a sequestra
tor, who operated it until the debt was paid.
On April 7, 1870, the Legislature enacted
that in lieu of sequestration the plaintiff" in
any judgment against a corporation may
have execution by writ of fieri facias,
issued lrom the court in which the judgment
was entered, under which the real, personal
and mixed proDerty, rights and franchises
might be sold. Prior to November 28,
1870, judgments had been entered in
Brie county against the Brie Canal
Company, amounting to $18,055. Writs of
fieri facias were issued on those judgments,
and the Sheriff sold the entire canal from
Erie to the Ohio, November 29, 1870, to
William L. Scott for $18,175. As this sale
was without waiver of inquisition, the
franchise of the canal only passed to the
purchaser. On distribution before an aud
itor, the Attorney General interposed a
claim of $18,000 for tonnage tax, and the
proceeds ot sale were awarded to the State.
On November 29, 1870, whether before or
after the sale does not appear, other judg
ments were entered in Erie county, and np
to December 20, 1870, these amounted to
$1,250,000 against the canal company.
The Brie connty judgments were liens
upon the canal property as an entirety, but
the anomalous effect of the act of 1870, by a
sort of legal disintegration, was to make
these Hens upon particular portions ot the
canal, in any county in which the judg
ments might be' entered, and permitted a
sale by piecemeal. In 1871 the Erie judg
ments were transferred to Beaver county;
writs were issued, inquisition waived, and
the canal property in Beaver county was
sold September 2, 1871, to Andrew J. Boyle
for $165,000, who, the next day, conveyed
his interest to William L. Scott for the
same consideration. Although the act of
1870 provided that a sale under its provisions
diverted all liens, except those by mortgage,
yet the Beaver county judgments against
the canal company, now amounting to
$2,698,000, have been religiously kept alive
by amicable scire facias. These judgments,
as revived, were marked for the use of John
N. McCollough, who, perhaps to save any
unpleasant tax question, ttansferred them

A Sheet of Water Deep In the Crater of a
Volcano.
Letter to New York World.!
Two hours' march north of Taveta is Lake
Cbala, one of the loveliest and most remark
able sheets of water in East Africa.
The peaks of Kilmanjaro were hidden behind
a veil of clouds. Nothing was to be seen of
the mountain but the rolling foothills
ending in banks of mist, and none would
suspect1 that behind those cloud masses
stood in silent and awful majesty the mon
arch of all African mountains. Several
miles ahead of us, as also on our left, many
minor cones reared their heads a few hun
dred feet above the plain. The internal
forces which in their mightiest days pro
duced Kibo and Eimawenzi upraised, in the
feebler efforts of their decline, these lesser
peaks. One of these cones, toward which
we were wending our way, seemed to have
collapsed within itself. Its upper part was
gone and the sloping sides of its lower half
ended in an irregular ring, suggesting an
inverted bowl with the bottom broken out.
Arriving at the foot of this bowl a stiff
climb of some 400 feet brought us to its
narrow, jagged rim.
The inner side of the rim turned out to be
a steep, rocky precipice which dipped down
a sheer 4O0rteei, or to the level ot the plain
we had jnst left, where it disappeared inJ
me waters oi me loveliest little crater lake
imaginable. Four hundred feet in the
bowels of the hill, not a breath of wind can
ruffle the surface ot Lake Chala, and it lies
there in its deep setting, smooth and gleam
ing as a sheet ot glass. The rim of the
crater appeared to be about five miles
ronnd. Crocodiles. hiDDOs and fish nre
said to exist in the lake, the latter in great
numbers.

Beading, January 1. Thomas Jeffries,
aged 34, a wealthy Philadelphia.patient at
the hotel near Wernersville, committed sui
cide on the mountain yesterday afternoon.
He had been a guest at the hotel for several
weeks, suffering from nervous prostration,
and was seeking rest. About 2 o'clock he
left the hotel, taking with him the linen
sheet of his bed, and walked np the mount
ain for over a mile. He then left the road
and walked into the woods forabout 20 paces,
where he selected a tree whose lower limbs
were hve or six feet from the ground.
Climbing up the tree, he tied the sheet
about the limb and around his neck and
dropped into eternity.
The absence of the man was soon noticed
and parties were sent out la search of him".
At 2:45 his dead body was found hanging
from the tree. The body' was at once cut
down and taken to the hotel, where Coroner
.tionmana held an inquest, and a verdict
was rendered that the man came to bis death
through suicide while ont of his mind. The
body was sent to Philadelphia. A widow
and four children survive him.

The appended story is given third-hand.
The writer did Hot hear the sermon and the
narrator said he didn't either, but he re
garded hi information as reliable, in fact,
wro.e "Accepted" on the back of it.
Without circumlocution or prevarication
it is that on last Sunday Eev. Dr. Beacon,
pastor of the Forest Grove Presbyterian
Chnrch, of Robinson township, metaphori
cally took off his collar and cufls, spat on
bis hands and proceeded to read the riot act
to some of his auditors. The casus belli was
a party given by a lady in Dr. Beacom's
bailiwick, at which sundry lads and lasses
"chased the glowing hours with flying feet"
one night last week.
On last Sunday morning, according to the
narrator, Dr. Beacom made the party the
burden of his discourse, and in language
more emphatic than emollient told the rev
elers what he thought of dancing, finding
nb justification thereof either m the Bible,
Westminster Confession, Thirty-nine Arti
cles, nor in the Solemn League and Cove
nant, even if Davjd did dance before the
Ark of the Covenant.
Then, as the story goes, the doctor, whose
strictures are received with due Christian
humility by his flock, gave an opinion of
oil well drillers in general, a score or so of
whom turn the screw within sight of the
church and parsonage. It is said that Dr.
Beacom does not find either their faith or
practice conducive to morality, so far as he
is informed, by observation and report.
So far as can be learned the strictures of
Dr. Beacom are regarded "more in sorrow
than in anger" by some at least of those at
whom they were aimed. A gentleman who
is a relative oi the lady who gave the Christ
mas reception states that he is sure she
meant no offense, and that it isn't a case of
soar grapes on the part of the pastor, as the
lady would have been glad to have had him
and his family present to share in the, as she
thought, innocent pastime.

A PROMINENT REGULAR PHYSICIAN
of New York City gives the following directions
For Preventing and Curing
Influenza or "La Grippe"
Evaporate morning and evening a few table
spoonfuls of Pond's Extract and inhale the
vapor. Pour the Pond's Extract into a tin enp,
which hold over the flames of a lamp: hold the
nose over the enp, that the vapor may he in
haled. By this treatment the membrane of the
nose and throat will he in such condition that
it will resist the poisonous germs which are the
cause of this disease; and if the germs have
already been Inhaled they will be destroyed.
The symptoms of "La Grippe" are inflamma
tion of the lining membrane of the nose, which
may extend to the lungs, with cough, sneezing,
running at the note, and perhaps severe aching
pains and high fever. These directions are for
Pond's Extract only. It may be unsafe to use
