MONDAY, AUGUST - 29. ,1898. the dirty corners of the town, abandon all wells and springs, and to impress upon the people, more especially the foreign popula tion, the importance of a liberal use ot'soap and water. Will Unite Against the Disease. "Just now the danger of cholera is great est in the seaboard and coast towns, but there is no predicting the ultimate resnlt of the present scare. If the cholera should visit Pittsburg the officials of the Depart ment of Public Works will combine with the Department of Public Safety in fighting the disease." "We need more furnaces ior the burning of garbage," commented Superintendent Baker, ot the Health Bureau, while speak ing of cleaning the city. "To be sure I do not expect the cholera to Tisit Pittsburg," he continued, "but all things are possible. While the city is one of the cleanest in the JJtate, there Is still too much garbage to make disease impossible. There is small likelihood of the cholera coming as far from the coast as Pittsburg, for the Government as well as the municipal authorities in coast cities is takine every precaution to prevent its spread. I am therefore inclined to think the present scare is uncalled lor." CUBING CHOLEEA WITH ACIDS. Sour Drinks tVIIl Kill the Germs o the Dread Disease. Dr. C. B. Strengfield, a prominent phy sician of Chicago, is a firm believer iu the use of acids to check cholera. He says. "It is well known that cholera, like many other diseases, is due to a germ which mnst have an alkaline medium for development. Therefore if you cause all the secretions of the body to become acid the germ cannot thrive. If all persons would drink freely of sulphuric acid lemonade, made by simply edding ten or 15 drops of sulphuric acid to a quart of ordinary lake water, boiled and then iced, or to any of the numerous Wau kesha waters, putting in sufficient sugar to make it palktable, it would be a good pre ventive. Diink this instead of water, or any other beverage, as it is harmless when properly diluted and can be consumed in large quantities. "This acid has been emploved with great advantage in epidemics ot cholera by Dr. Curtis, in the Philadelphia Almshouse in sane department. A very serious epidemic ceased la 12 hours alter the inmates were all put upon the tree use of sulphuric acid lemonade. The only new case after this was that of a man who refused to use the prop'.ivlacl. Two days after the use of Eiilphuric'Vfid was stopped two new cases occurred, yna the epidemic was again arrested by-the use of sulphuric acid. In the surgical wards the acid was used from the beginning of the epidemic, and in these wards, although in no way isolated, the dis ease failed to make an appearance. In view of this statement of facts it should be used freely and early." TO DIS1KFSCT BAGGAGE. General 'Wj-mao's Officinl Explanation or How It Must Do Done. General Walter Wyman, of Washington, D. C, the Supervising Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital Service, has sent out a circular letter addressed to all Collectors of Customs, medical officers of the United States hospital service and local quarantine offices. After reciting the fact that there is grave danger of a cholera epidemic, General Wyman orders that the personal effects and baggage of immigrants and others from dis tricts infected with cholera be disinfected at ports of departure. For the disinfection of said articles one or more of the following methods must be used, ail articles to be unpacked and freely exposed for disinfection : Boiling in water not less than one hour.

POTTER WILL INVESTIGATE IT. A Non-Union Man Eeat Into Insensibility and Then Bobbed. THE EOUGHERS CANNOT COME TO TERMS The breach between the military and civil authorities at Homestead is rapidly wideninr. Last night there was a clash between the two arms of the government at City Farm station, which ior a time looked as though it would have a bloody ending. About 7:30 a non-union man went to the ferry and presented a pass, to the mills, to the Deputy Sheriffs on duty, good on the Tide or Little Bill, uty tore it into several threw it on the ground, placed the man under arrest. The dep- pieces and He them The fellow was turned over to the military guard with the order that he be taken over to General Wiley and locked up for the night. The deputy said he had been watching this fellow for some time and he had been act ing in a suspicions manner. The guards took him and upon questioning him they were of the opinion the man had no right to be arrested. The corporal in charge of the sqnad said they would take the man up to Captain Windsor and let him explain matters. stopped by the Deputy Shrrlffi. They started to the steps leading to the Captain's quarters. Not more than two steps of the ascent had been made when the two deputies jumped in front of them. In stantly a war of words was in progress be tween the two parties and the deputy ex claimed that the prisoner would not go up the hill; that he was sent there by the High Sheriff of Allegheny County and he wanted the guards to understand that they were under his orders. The troopers took exceptions to his remarks and insisted that they would go up to their camp. The corporal in charge was a very cool fellow, and he tried to reason with the deputies, but it was no use. Finally, when he saw he could not go past the civil author ities withont trouble, be decided on another plan. The prisoner was marched down to the river and put on a skiff. The guards took him over to the mill and the man had no trouble in establishing his identity. He was then allowed his freedom. Later a corporal was sent as a messenger by Captain Windsor to the Little Biil. When he came down to the ferry he pro ceeded to loosen one of the skiffs moored there. The deputies stopped him and said that the militia had no rights to the skiff and if he tried to take it there would be trouble. He had to get the use of a private skiff that happenedlo be there. Fired Into the Crowd. Saturday night when the 10:30 train on the Baltimore and Ohio road stopped at the City Farm station about 50 people alichted, most of them being mill men. As the train pulled out someone on the rear platform of the train fired two shots into the crowd, but no one was injured. Deputy Sheriff Mc Flbany asked one of the brakemen to stop the train if it occurred again. That em ploye answered the deputy by saving: "Go to- ." When the militia heard the shooting they ran up the track, but as thev are not allowed to fire at passenger trains they could do nothing. Colonel Gray yesterday notified Superintendent Potter of the aflair. To-day he will call on the superintendent of the Baltimore and Ohio and try to have the matter invetigated. The midnight train up on the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston road Saturday night brought William Welsh, a mill worker, from Pittsburg. He alighted at Munhall and started toward the mill. But little of the distance had been covered when he was attacked by several men and dragged back into "Muuhall Hollow." There he was beaten in a horrible manner about the head. Finally, when he had been pounded into unconsciousness and made to suffer a num ber ot other indignities, his assailants finished their work by robbing him of f 12 30 and part of his clothing. Hot Found Until tils Ilornlnc. Welsh was then left alone and was not discovered until this morning. He had to be taken to the mill hospital in a wagon. He did not recover full possession ot his senses untill noon. Mr. Welsh does not know any of the men who attacked him. John Brashear, of Allegheny, yesterday morning addressed the men in the mill. He talked on astronomical subjects and duelt principally on Mars. His words were very interesting to the men and were highly appreciated. Yesterday General Wiley, his staff and Colonels Hnlings and Kreps inspected all the camps. In the afternoon they went up to Duquesne. Everything was found to be in good shape. -The men will be kept at Duquesne indefinitely. Lieutenant J. L. Caldwell, Inspector of Kifle Practice for the Fifteenth Regiment, left yesterday afternoon for Mt Gretna to attend the anual shoot. He took the regi mental team with him. It is composed of Corporal J. Bacon, Sergeant Wade, Sergeant C McCoy and Private Love. The matron and nurses from the Citr Poor Farm yesterday visited Camp Sam Black. THEY MEET AGAIN. The Roughers Deride Not to Accept the Oflsr of the Hollers and Adjourn to Meet on Wednesday Next IThcn Impor tant Developments Are Expected. Eighty roughers and catchers gathered in Threnhauser hall yesterday afternoon to de cide whether they should continue at work or go out on a strike. Every rolling mill in the city employing Amalgamated men or guide mills was represented. The majority of the members had some suggestion to make by which their present condition could be improved. Quite a large number united in declaring that they were tired of trying to gain their rights by quiet methods. The only solution they conld find for the problem was to strike at once. The more cool-headed workmen ad vocated diplomacy. They said a strike could be inaugurated any time, but the men had better be sure of their ground before adopting methods that might end in defeat Another subject presented to the men was the oiler of the rollers that the roughers and catchers would only be obliged to suffer a seven and not a ten per cent reduction if tbey would promise not to ask for an in crease next year. This offer was put to a vote and unanimously defeated. The pre vailing opinion among them is that there will be better times next year and they will have no trouble in seenring a raise. But a few men could be found who would not talk at all concerning the business transacted. I According to the views of most of the men I CLASH 0 AUTHORITY it it safe to say thev would all strike if thev thought they could gain their point. The roughers all believe they have been unjustly treated, and say as their work is one of the hardest positions in the mill they are entitled to at least $4 per day. This amount they made under last year's scale. Before the meeting adjourned they decided to -continue working, but under protest. They will meet again on Wednesday even ing next. BIBIOBB ON THE LOOKOUT. They Induce Two Men to XaTe the Upper Union Mills. None of the mills along Penn avenue yesterday were any more quiet than the Upper and Lower works of the Carnegie Steel Company. About 6 o'clock in the evening the scene changed. The workmen who had gone home to spend Sunday with their families began returning to the mills. Several of the strikers' committees were on the lookout tor the men, and as fast as they approached the mill they were stopped and efforts made to have them give up their places and join the Amalgamated Associa tion. Two of the men were persuaded not to enter the mill. They will be supported by the strikers until the present trouble is decided. At 7 o'clock some of the furnaces were lighted and preparations made to start the ponderons machinery. The various crews in the mill are engaged upon plates and angles. Itoncners Greatly Incensed. It has been decided by the Executive Committee of.th'e roughers employed at the rolling mills at Toungstown to abide by whatever decision may be made ny the Pittsburg committee. The roughers are still at work though greatly incensed at the cut ot 10 per cent in their wages. WILL SHOOT FOB A TH0PHT. The Sixteenth Begiment Klfla Team Lea-res for Sit. Gretna. The Sixteenth Begiment rifle team left last evening over the Pennsylvania Bail road for Mt Gretna to contest with teams from other regiments of the State. They will shoot fora regimental trophy, and also for places in the State team to be sent to Creedmoor. The Sixteenth'! team con sists of Sergeant Major Will B. Chapman, Thomas V. Albert and H. C. Weagraff, all of C Company, of Bradford; Joet Miller, of H Company, Bidgeway, and Sergeant O. J. Gunning, A Company, of Corry, who is in reserve. When they left Homestead they ranked on the -team by practice as they are written above. In three days' practice they have had a total average each day at 200, 500 and 600 yards of 90 points out of a possible 100, and as this is a higher average than has ever won a trophy they are confident of bring ing the Mt. Gretna prize to the Western part of the State. They won the prize one year and are seldom below second place. The Thirteenth Begiment, which is recruited in the vicinity of Scranton, bears the palm at present as the best shooting organization in the Uommonvealth. Lieutenant Thonjas Conneeley, Inspector of Bifle Practice of the Sixteenth; Lieu tenant Colonel W. A. Horton and Major Arters, the regimental surgeon, accompa nied the team to coach the members, only one of whom, Weagraff, has ever shot in a State match. The others, with the ex ception of Gunning, are young men who have scarcely attained their majority. VIOLATED THE SUNDAY LAW. Three Toons 9fen Open a Stand at Schentey nndSell Refreshments. L. G. Buchert, J. C. Brooks and Walter Troal, three young men who gave their resi dence at 325 Liberty street, were arrested yesterday afternoon in Schenley Park by Inspector McLaughlin and locked up in the Fourteenth ward station. They were charged with violating the Sunday laws by selling refreshments In the park. Early Sunday morning the yonng men drove into the park with a wagon loaded with all kinds of refreshments, and when Superin tendent McKnight reached the park he found a large tent erected at the west end of the bridge and the boys doing a nice busi ness. He ordered them to stop, but they paid no attention to the order. At 2 o'clock Superintendent McKnight telephoned for Inspector McLaughlin, who came to the park and arrested the young men. When they were locked up In the station bouse they told several different stories as to who was the proprietor of the stand. Inspector McLaughlin sent for tho different persons and had them brought to the station house, but they all denied hav ing anything to do with the men.

Mrs. Doyle, hearing the woman's cries, ran to her assistance. She was also knocked down and kicked by the husband, who threatened to kill both of them, and would probably1 have carried out his threat but for the arrival of Lieutenant Richards and Officer Smith.

Ober's Residence Looted of a Lot of Valuable Jewelry. ANOTHER SPEAK-EASY CRUSADE. Incendiaries Attempt to Fire a Southside Soap Factory. IIYEI.T DAT FOR THE POLICB FORCE A cleverly planned robbery has been brought to light in Allegheny. Two per sons who claimed to be' painters are im plicated. John P. Ober, Select Conncilman from the Twelfth ward, and a member of the brewing firm of Eberhardt & Ober, lives at No. 10 Lowrie street. One part of the house is occupied by his son-in-law, Edward Straub. At present Mr. Ober and .family are at Atlantic City. Eepairs have been going on at the house during their absence. A number of painters have, been employed there for the last six weeks. Friday morning two persons dressed like painters with overalls and paint buckets came to the house for the purpose of paint ing the roof. Two domestics are in charge of the residence, and no particular notice was taken of the men, because of their alleged business. Painter No. 1 bor rowed a broom with which to sweep off the roof.and, while he was performing that part of his duty, painter No. 2 ransacked the bureau drawers in the house. A jimmy was used to open the drawer. Took Turpentine, Jewelry and Their Leave. The painters went downstairs and got some turpentine from the domestics. Then they disappeared. Upon the return home of Mr. Straub the robbery was discovered, and, on investigation, five neatly worked watchchains, gold collar buttons and sleeve bnttons, valued at 5125, were missing. The Alleghenr police were immediatelv notified and Detectives James Steele and Fred Zim merman were put on the case. Saturday morning Steele traced one of the painters to Lawrenceville, and Captain Brophy, of that district, helped him to locate" Frank Thompson on Forty second street, who is now locked up in the Allegheny police station. He was identified as one of the painters by the hired girls. Thompson is a married man and has two children. He will not talk to the police about the matter, but remains very silent The detectives succeeded further in mat ing an arrest that may prove of importance in clearing up the affair. Charles Hilder bilt is employed as coachman in the service of Ober. He was seen on several occasions talking to Thompson. .Expect to Convict the Coachman. The police claim to have sufficient evi dence to convict the coachman ot planning the robbery. He is now locked up in the police station at the Allegheny Citjr HalL He denies having taken any part in the robbery. The detectives have discovered that a further part of the plan was to gain admission to the house by the cellar door if it was neceessary. There is a wire screen covering the entrance to the cellar and this was loose and the bolt drawn. There was no one upon tho premises who could possi bly have known of this arrangement outside of' the women in charge of the house and the coachman, who is considered by the police as the man who pulled the bolt. The police have located the jewelry, and are steadily on the lookout for painter No. 2, but up until late last night hev had not been arrested. The authorities think that it was the in tention of the parties to make a large haul. It was a cleverly planned robbery so far as it has gone. A SOUTHSIDE IHOENDIABY. Soip FKCtory Flri-d, bat the Flames Are Discovered and Pat Oat. An attempt was made last evening to burn Mrs. Strump's soap factory, between Seventh and Eighth streets, Southside. Shortly before 8 o'clock fire was discovered in the stable standing beside the factory. John Stilwell, who lives just opposite, rushed across the street, broke open the door and extinguished the flame before much damage had been done. Upon examination it was found that a large amount of benzine had Leen scattered over the packing room. This room adjoins the stable and is reached by a door which was open. Straw had been scattered about the floor and through the door into the factory. It had been lighted, but was dis covered before the flames had burned through into the room, whose contents had been saturated with the benzine. There was not the least doubt ic the minds of those who were there that the fire was of incendiary origin. The factory is always locked up on Sunday, but the door leading on to Cabot's way had been broken open last evening. No benzine is used in the factory. The straw had been arranged so as to burn slowly till it reached the packing room of the factory, presumably to allow time to get away from the building before the 'fire could be discovered. Officer Barks was called and made a thorough examina tion of the stable and factory, but found no trace of the incendiary. A number of small fires in the neighbor hood have lately been discovered and re ported to the police. It is thought a gang of fire bngs on the Southside have been working for some time, but so far no arrests have been made. A PABD0N FOB FLANH. Reported lie Is to Be Freed From the Penitentiary.

EQorts to find James Forte, the attorney of Flann, proved fruitless. He had left his hotel early in the evening and had not returned at a late hour last night Major E. A. Montooth was the attorney for the Marine National Bank in this case. When seen last evening he said he could not con firm the report of Flann having been par doned, although he knew that overtures had been made to secure the yonng man's re lease. Ever since Flann's arrest and imnrison- ment, it is said that Mrs. Kilgore has tried repeatedly to aid her son-in-law in his trouble. Several months ago she went to Washington accompanied Dy her daughter and secured an audience with the President She had a number ot letters from, promi nent people of this city, and created quite an impression on the Chief Magistrate.

".mere are not 50 speak-easies In the en-i tire cuv io-aay, said Superintendent O Mara last night, "and few of them do enough business to justify their risking their liberty by selling. We have found it impossible to stOD the business entirelv. The whole city might be cleared of them to-day. To-morrow a dozen or 20 new ones would be started up. They watch the police so closely and, have so many different schemes of.avoiding detection that we fre quently have great difficulty in securing evidence against them. We have been prosecuting speak-easies under the city ordinances and fining the proprietors. This gives the county a chance to apply the State law, and it is really the business of the county and the constables to do it We will give up to the grand Jury all the evi dence necessary to a convietion." Lieutenant Gallant raided three speak easies in the first district yesterday. Mary O'Neill's shanty on Jones avenue was the first visited.

Anxious for An Opportunity to Legislate Away PoYertj. MINI THINGS THE PAETI 0PPOSES. The People's Party of Allegheny county has constrncted its platform. It is embodied in an address to the voters of the county prepared by J. H. Stevenson, Henry Graus, T. J. McGonnell, C A. Burrows and Alex. Wood. The address asserts that the Peo ple's Party is rapidly advancing from third to first place in the affections of the citizens of the country; declares that there is too much class legislation, much of which should be repealed, and argues that business men, mechanics and labor are alike ad versely affected by many bad laws. It con cludes with an appeal in the name of the late.-Thoma A. Armstrong to the organized labor of Allegheny county. Mr. J. H. Stevenson, a member of the committee that prepared the address, stated yesterday that he had 'great faith in the future of -the People's party. He said; "General Weaver, our candidate for Presi dent, tells me that we will carry many of the Western States. Of course, that will be largely due to our position on the silver question. The party is rapidly growing in the East, however, and while we may not elect our ticket this year, four years from now we ought to carry the country." The People's Party Appeal. The text of the address, as given out yes terday, is as follows: The People's party is not a new one. In the great West and In many of the Southern States this party has advanced steadily for the past two or three years, and can be called in many places the first instead of a third party. Our deliberate judgment causes us to break away from our old political associates and to cast our political lots with this new party, which Is originated solely to reform long abuses In the conduct of affairs of our State and Nation. We believe and now deolare that the Republican and Demo cratic party leaders have by false pietences played upon our sympathies, our prejudices and our past political associations, and we have blindly followed them in dangerous places, thus approving of acts the most vicious, believing them harmless. Under pretense of working for our good they have been molding policies that have and will continue to result in tho most villianous robbory. Criticising Old Party Policies. They have planned policies that have op erated to impoverish our people, through laws deliberately made lor such purpose. They have molded finance policies that ruined millions of happy, prosperous and industrious farmers, artisans and laborers, and they have profited by this ruim Thoy have kept the -wealth producers of this country, the year round, struggling under a heavy weight of usury. They Have con spired to form policies that give the rich an overpowering mastery over a less favored class; tbey have made laws to favor the rich and powerful, to the hurt of at least 90 per cent of our people. The working and business class are made to suffer the year round cither at hard ana poorly paid for toil or in idleness for want of work. They have legislated wealth to bo the master of humanity. They have legislated so that a lich man's $500 will annually produce for him, without labor, more cash than the average farmer, tradesman or workingman can clear by the hardest kind or toil. Their great aim has been to grow rich and richer at the expense of the industrious por tion of our people. They have invented laws to do tlits. We say that laws that op press the needy should bo wiped out 'Il.id Lam Should be Itepealed. TTe ask you people of Allegheny county to reflect on tho great social nnd political prob lems now being discussed. We ask you to reflect that by legislation most of our His can be remedied, and we will not point out to you any other remedy. Repeal bad laws. To the people no question rises above the qnestion of wages, to all who work for wages, itnd to merchants, farmers, etc., no question to them is greater than the question of profits or earnings. That workmen should have good wages and the other classes good profits, certainly is of sufficient importance to occupy nart of the time of onr lawmakers. Proper Jaws can be and should be enacted. Lawmakers have avoided these Industrial issues as long as possible. Nothing will force them to do their plain duty but a vote against them. Voting for them only ap proves of their conduce. You may petition for laws from year to year and a million names for, wonld not be of so much weight as a resolution of a single national bank against any proposed financial measure. Your peti tions are thrown aside and trented with con tempt. Wall street governs and their will is made law, while yours is tieated with con tempt by men you vote for as your repre sentatives. Object to the Silver Bill's Defeat. In defeating the silver bill a few weeks ago In Congress the two representatives from this county voted with Wall street and against the interest of 90 p6r cent of the men who voted for them. They supported the money power and the usurer. Thoy wanted monoy to be kept scaice, for they belong to the rich class. They a;ain ask you to send them back to Congress. It is In your power to do so or to refuse to do so. You must choose, but if you do so, henceforth never comnlain of hard times: never complain of poor pay, no work or poor business. If you aio a merchant, neer again complain of dull trade. If you arc a farmer, never again open your mouth to complain of hard times. MaUe your choice before November, 1S92.

Stand up In your dignified manhood and be counted on tho side that is battling for you and yours. Giving Credit lo Old Party Lenders. Do hot harbor the Idea that we of tbe Peo ple's party alor.o understand what ought to be done and what should be left undone or 1 elates to lawmaking. Wo give old party leaders oredit for knowing fall well what ought to bo done, they are mastors of the subject, but as belore stated they act for tho "upper ten" class" alone. Oh, yes, they do know what to do, and having known this and refused to do their duty Irom year to year, it is time all of thorn should bo retired to private Hie. Tbe men who lend the old parties aie.as n rule.gentlomen of education and good morals. We do not assert the con trary. So were the old slaveholders of the South beloro the slave was freed. Then slavenoldei s, personally, were anion? the best nnd highest types of American man hood, but they upheld a vicious policy lor the sake ot mukiii" more out of it. The in stitution they upheld was bad, and even the Church, the Constitution nnd all things were called upon to susintn it. A gentleman or, lor and by the perip'.e was then in power. Slavery of tho black man went down. May we not hopo fur the slavery to the monopo list, the usurer, nnd such like, may also go down or be p it down by the people. What 1I11 People's Party Offers. Study well the Omaha platform, the docu ment that tersely sots forth our platform of principles, and If anything else Is required of us to beset forth it is embodied iu this. Everything possiblo in legislation will be done by tbe People's party lor all the peo ple. The millionaire will get no better show than the worklucman. We will enaot an in come tax that will make millionaires im possible in this country; we will check monopoly iu land as well as iu other things. We will legislate against the pauper work man of the Old World as well as his products. We will secure loans from the Government, nt 2 per cent, to improve the highways of onr country. And this is no more paternalism than giving $04,000,000 to rich millionaire railroad magnate's or giv ing money to national banks ntl percent. Wo will" seek to give tbe ex-Union poldier gold payments for his war pay, similar to that given to tho bondholder. -We present to you candidates for all the offices In this county.

A. Armstrong's Name. To Organized Labor of Allegheny County. In Allegheny's beautiful park there has been erected a statue to organized labor's tutelary saint, Thomas A. Armstrong, a soldier, a patriot, a statesman and n'filend of labor; erected by contributions from the hands of thousands of honest tollers. It stands alone, unique, a credit to a labor leader. Go there, each of yop, stand in the shadow of this monument, and with index finger raised toward tbe statue, say: "Arm stiong, were von with us this day in this snprome political crisis, what would you have me doT" Then go, meditate on the answer you would surely receive were be allvo, resolve to do your duty as an honest man and as a free man, one of the people. Allow no pleading or decoying politician to swerve you from your path of duty, but let them, tho politicians, petty or great, stand by tneui30lveaudgo down togotber amid the rnin of useless and worthless parties, one and both. i 000 OUB XZEPEB, Bev. W. n. McMillan Speaks or God and His Infinite Wisdom. The subject of Her. W. H. McMillan's morning sermon yesterday in tbe Stockton Avenue TJ.P.Church was "God Our Keeper." After a few preliminary remarks he said "God has promised to be our keener. He is tho Supreme Master of all energies and life and is competent to be onr keeper. His wisdom is infinite, and there is nothing that may assail our bodies or souls, but that He knows. He knows all things and Is able to protectus. Another characteristic Is His infi nite goodness. lie is a father to us, and He exercises a fatherly care. "Let us observe tho characteristics of His care. It is unremitting. Be never rests nor sleeps. He Is always caring for us and watchipg oves us. Then, again. His care is unlver-al. He guards us from every ill. As fathers we cm only partially care for our children, but God's care Is universal. Ills care is personal. Ills care Is individual. The condition to secure Ilia care has been laid down iu the Gospel. He keeps us when we are w alking In Ills commandments. God means that we shall have comfort and peace, and that is the result or right doing." Dr. McMillan has just returned from Muskoka, Canada, uheie he has been sum mering. He speaks of Muskoka as becoming a popular resort for Pittsburgers. It is a district, having many small lakes and about 600 pleasant islands. A Ble Naval Show for New Vorfc. London, Aug. 23.
