TELCGBAH TO THE DISrATCn.! Greexsbubg, September 2L The church of Poke Run, of the Blairsville Presbytery, will celebrate its centennial to-morrow. One hundred years ao, Sep tember 22, 1790, Eer. Samuel Porter was that the church might be thoroughly Pres byterian. The old Psalms were used, and communion seals. The church was without an organ, and a new building in which to worship was soon a necessity. As the people got ready the Ses sion made such changes as to put the church iu line with other churches in the Presby tery, and these changes were made without offense. A new church has been erected, a commodious parsonage has been constructed on nine acres owned by the congregation; and, within the past year, the good people have put up a neat chapel for prayer meet ing and school purposes. There is no coun try congregation with better facilities for doing church work than the church which celebrates its centennial to-day. It enters, npon its second centurv better equipped than ever before. Everything has changed at Poke Enn in the last 20 years, except the hill on which the church stands. , GEOWTH OP ME OBGAK1ZATIOK. It would be interesting to know how many members the church has received during the century, but we can only guess at the nnmber. It does sot seem to have grown in numbers very fast during the first 20 years. The first reoort made to Presby tery was in 1811, when 88 members were re ported. The neit report was in 1824, when the number was 122 communicants. When Dr. Kirkpatrick took charge of the congre gation he says there were 261 members. The additions to the chnrch during his pastorate were 606, aud the number added during the last 21 years 519, making a total of 1,386 NEW RULES NEEDED If the Minority is to be Kept From Blocking Legislation.

The church has had but four. pastors since its organization, viz.: Eev. S. Porter, ten years, and Eev. Francis Laird, thirty-four years; Eev. David Kirkpatrick, thirty-four years, and Eev. Henry Bain, the present pastor, twenty-two years. Eev. Dr. Hill, of Blairsville, will preside at the services to-morrow, and some of the leading divines of the Presbytery will be present According to the annals of the church Joseph Thorn, John Guthrie, John Hamilton and Kobert Hays were the first men to interest themselves and others in getting Bedstone Presbytery to send an occasional supply into this part of the country. The first sermon preached was by a clergyman from New England on the text "God is Love," at the house of Eobert Hays in Franklin township. The farm is now in possession of David Steel's heirs. Other ministers were sent from time to time until April 21, 1790, when Eev. Samuel Porter was called by the united concrega tious of Congruity and Poke Bun to become their Dastor. Presbytery met at James McKee's; the installation took place on September 22, 1790. Revs. James Dunlap, James Finley and Dr. John McMillan took part in the ordination and installation ser vices. THE FIEST PASTOR. Eev. Samuel Porter was a native of Ire laud, born on the 11th of June 1760. He was brought up a Covenanter. He was early taught the doctrines of the Old and New Testaments. His mother took him with her to her place of private devotions, and would kneel down with her hand on her little boy's head add ask God to bless him and use him in preaching the Gospel. But the father and mother of young Samuel were very poor, and the outlook lor the'boy ever becoming a minister was discouraging indeed. The Irish boy, grown to manhood in his native country, married and came to America about 1783; when he landed he had 15 shil lings. He spent his first winter near Mer cersburg, in this State. It was more con venient for him to go to the Presbyterian Cnurcb than to any other. The minister to whom he listened was Dr. King, and the young Irishman was very much pleased. He found that, although a Presbyterian, he preached the essential doctrines of the Scriptures. Mr. Porter soon took up his place in the front rank as a preacher. He was every where popular. He was invited when a member of the General Assembly of "Win chester, Virginia, to preach before that body of ministers and elders. The whole assem bly was moved and melted to tenderness and tears. It is not necessary to say that a preacher who can produce such results is no ordinary man. members belonging to the church under the last two pastorates. It is safe to say that 650 joined under the pastors during the previous 42 years, making a total for the century of 2,036. A FEAST F0RTHE EYE. YESTERDAY'S DISPATCH REPLETE WITH ATTRACTIONS. IFBOM A STAJT COBRESPONDEOT.'l Washington, September 20. Tne con- victioA seems to be inbred in the Southern" mind that the Southern Democrat must rule wherever he may be. He has never for a moment believed in the rnle of the majority unless he was of the majority.. This has never been more clearly evident than during the current session of Congress. On every question involving political principle the Democrats, led by the Southern wing, have attempted to obstruct. They have defied the officers of the House, kicked down doors, shown an utter contempt for dignity and discipline, and offered personal insults to the Speaker almost every day. II the Ee publicans have been, coarse and vulgar, the Democrats have been riotous and brutal. They have this as their excuse that their offenses have been based on political antag onism. They have been guilty of neither oflensc nor brutality on account of a mere love of bandying epithets, as some of the Ecpublicans have sometimes seemed to be. For political advantage alone they resort to riotous and revolutionary proceedings, even to the smashing down of doors to prevent the presence of a quorum necessary for the tiansaction of business. "This defiance of majority rule is a vital peculiarity. It is impossible to make a Southern Democrat understand that the country is full of intel ligent people who read the daily newspapers and who will hold the majority responsible for their conduct The Southern Democrat believes in nothing so much as that he, though in the minority, will .be made to bear the burden of responsibility for every law that is enacted by Congress, and so, not content with uttering this pro test as eloquently as he may, he feels that he must resist, even to the rjoint of fiehtincr and destroying the buildings and furniture of the Government, to prevent the passage of bills which are, according to his omnisci ence, not politically right This wonld be amusing if it were not so seriout , to pervert or modify its original meaning withont the consent of .the body at large. The modification of the Kennedy speech is a good illustration of what maybe done in this respect. A member may abuse an other member in the foulest manner,and yet so change it before its appearance in the .Reconf as to avoid all censure from the House, though the original language may have gone to the country in all its foulness. Or, the member may keep his speech out of the .Record altogether, which is yet more ob jectionable. It is agreed on all sides that the Record should be a faithful transcrip tion of the nroceedinps. and the scandalous departures from this truthfulness in the recent past will doubtless bring about the necessary restriction of the freedom with which members destroy and modify speeches which have become the property of the pub lic by reason of their delivery. "With such changes in the law governing the conduct of the House and Senate, all of which have been advocated on the floor of the respective chambers, the American Con gress would be as orderly a body as the par liaments of England, of Germany, or of Austria, and these are the model delibera tive bodies of the world so far as mere order is concerned.

This was done for two years, when this con gregation united with Plum Creek, in ask ing Mr. Francis Laird, a licentiate, to be come their minister. Mr. Laird accepted the call and was ordained and installed on the 22ad of October, 1800, at Conrad Ludwick's being half way between the two churches. j.nis pastoral relation remained undis- turDea lor JO years, when, on the 5th r.f -aprii. iooi, ne resigned and was released from the pastorate of the two churches. After having been supplied by Presby tery for nearly three years a call was made out and accepted bv Rev. James Campbell He was installed May 1, 1833. He only continued a year and resigned. Ho one knows why he gave up his work so suddenly; he did not seem to fit in this particular place. He started the Sabbath school which has remained to this day. ' We have after the departure of Mr. Campbell supplies again for nearly three years. In 1836 Rev. David Kirkpatrick began preaching half the time at Elder's Kidge and half the time here. He re ceived a call from each of the churches, but accepted the one from this congregation and was installed pastor May 9, 1838. Dr. Kirkpatrick was born in Ireland January , 1795. He graduated with high honors at Glasgow University. His theolo'ical training was under the celebrated Dr Edgar. He was licensed to preach the gospel by the Belfast Seceder Presbrtprr He did not preach in his native land but'a short time until he came to America and became a distinguished and successful teacher. BEOIXXIKG Or THE SECOND CENTURY. The present pastor of Poke Run was called t0ke4narge .f the congregation May 5. 1869.

Full of instruction,; complete record of the events transpiring throughout the world, and deliehtfull entertaining, yesterday's Dis patch presented a feast to the mind and the eve on every page. Broad and honest accounts of the movements of political parties, and a pleasing variety of miscellaneous matter em phasized by illustrations, were among the features. A synopsis of the news follows: Foreign. Balfour's arrest of Irish leaders aronsed In tense feeling in Ireland. An outbreak is immi nent... .A rude London hotel clerk was bronght to his knees at the point of an American's pistol.. ..Welsh houses are rushing tin plate to America ueioro inctuniey s mil oecomes a law.. ..Carnegie said in Liverpool that Ameri cans consume more British products than all the colonies together.. ..Harmless snakes were secured by Bernhardt to nse in the death scenn of "Cleopatra" ....

Hoed Most Bertie Bis Rales. It is plain that the rnles must be further revised before a sensible and dignified man agement of the House of Representatives is possible. It mustbe put out of the power of the minority to destroy a quorum. In short it must be made imperative that every mem ber shall be present and vote on every question unless he is formally excused. Laxity in the conduct of members in this respect has bejn growing year after year uutil it has reached the condition of an abuse that constantly delays legislation, and when to this is added the obstrnctive tactics of an unruly minority, of either party, to call the nouse of Representatives a rjarlia- mentary body is an unpardonable violation of the meaning of the word. Until this is done the scenes of this session will be re peated year after year with ever increasing disorder. With proper rules the work that has been finished in the House at this session, huge as the volume is, might have been done, and better done, in one-half the tim- that has been consumed, and a vast amount or wsrk that ought to have been done got out of the way. Contrary to the general expression, there is not too much legislation. Some? times there is too much of the kind, but there is always a lack. A thousand things are left undone that ought to be done, and somebody, or the publie at large, is the suf ferer. A myriad of private and just claims against the Government will go nnacted npon this session because it was necessary w biiovb mem asiae 10 accomplish a fraction of the work for the general pnblic No Congress in long years has been able to say at the time of its adjournment that its work was done. Yet all the mass of bills intro duced in the present Congress might have been acted npon if the House were operating under sensible and practical rules. Finds Himself Here a Cripple, Without Money or Frlendi. Howard Reidnonr is a 20-year-old boy from Beading who had his right leg cut off at East Newark, August 20, while trying to board a train. He was taken to the Lick County Infirmary, where his wonnds were dressed. Yesterday he was given a ticket, he states as he supposed, for Reading by Superin tendent Sees, of the institution. He dis covered to his sorrow that it would only carry him to Pittsburg, and he found him self here last evening minus money and friends. He was directed to the Central station. WHO B3T0WS OF IT? An Extenslvo Conl Deal in Indiana County Said to be On. An exchange says: Six thousand acres of land in Indiana county, Pa., is about to be sold by the Elder's Ridge and West Leban on Coal Company to a syndicate of Pittsburg capitalists. The land lies along Elder's Ridge for a distance of eight or nine miles. It is said to be a solid block of coal above water level. The new field is about three miles from Saltsburg, on the West Penn road, and is 45 miles from Pittsburg. Coke ovens are to be erected, and Saltsburg ex pects tojboom.

At the Other End oftlie Cnpltol. In the Senate, also, there is great need of reformation. Rules that were once com mendable are now made the means of nb. struction. It is an old, unwritten law of the Senate that there shall be no curtail ment of the remarks of Senators. It be came the rnle at a time when no Senator abased his privilege by talking for a fort night, everyday on one subject, as Blair did on his educational bill. In those days the Senator who would have spoken for the purpose of delaying action on any measure would have been brought into disrepute be fore the Senate and the country. Xet for months of this session the Demo crats of the Senate talked against time on the tariff bill to accomplish its defeat and no one said them nay, simply on account of that ancient courtesy, handed down from the days of conrtesyi which forbade any in- icrrupuuu ui me oratorical desire of the Senators. Though the Senate is eminently orderly as compared with the Honse, it, too, will be compelled, after the experience ot this session, to adopt a rule which will ad mit of the calling of the previous question, after reasonable time and with due notice, mm ocnaiors may not taiK ior tne sole pur pose of obstruction. Chances In the Record. Another7 rnle which must inevitably be adopted in the near future, on acconnt of the abuse of privileges by members of both branches, is one forbidding any change in the sense of a speech after it is delivered in revising it for publication in the pages of the Record. Of course, verbal 'changes should be always admissible. Few of the members of either branch are Addisons in their use of the English language, and the murder ot the mother tongue by extempor aneous speakers is sometimes fearful and wonderful. It Is well to allow a revisal of such efforts, bnt not to change the language B. fcB. 60-inch tailor suitings, 51,5116 to 52 25 per yard. Booos & Buhl.

Of new Furniture the auc tion room catches the "sec onds" and cast-off styles, and most often the auction house Owns the Furniture which it offers to the highest bidder. Under such conditions the buyers chances for saving money aresmall, indeed. On the other hand we offer in our Furniture Trade Sale brand new goods from the best manufacturers at fixed prices, and they the lowest, to enable us to handle a large quantity of goods- in a short time. Bear in mind, every room in the house has been thought of and provided for in this Sale. Perhaps the most in terest centers in pieces and sets for the Parlor, Bedroom, Dining Room and Office. The most wonderful thing in this remarkable combina tion of good values and low prices is the price of $35, which we have made for the six-piece parlor suite in crushed plush. It is the identi cal same suite we sold at $45 last spring. Dealers are con founded at the price, and frankly admit that they don't understand it. Another marvel of value at a low price in our new line of Bedroom Suites, is a hand somely designed 3-piece suite in solid oak, with full-sized double bedstead, large wash stand with splasher back, and large bureau with beveled mirror, 22x28, for $20.
