Evanoclical Alliancu. The meeting
of the Evangelical Alliance In New .York,
which la now In sestioo, is the most re
markable religious convention ever beld In
America, embracing representatives of ev
ery obristlan sect In the world except the
Soman Calbollo church. Representative
men Irons every stale of Europe, and from
America, all met under ooe common bond
of brotherhood, for the purpose of effecting
closer alliance of ail christian denomlna
lions in order that they may procead in har
mony In the great work of the world's re
sumption. The New York Tribune says, lbs learn
ing the piety of the leltb, aodjtbe loyalty to
truth, and lb self-denying and aell-sacri
flolog devotion to the church eri represent
ed here In a Universal Congress, whose aim
Is the promotion ol tLe Eiugdom of Peace
nd the Brotherhood of Man. Higher mo
tives or pumr purposes could be fovoked.
For, however men may differ upon tbe coo
troverted points of 0 aristton doctrine, bow
over they may disagree t van upon what
may be esteemed tbe und -mental truths ol
Christianity, noons will deny that through
Christian progress and Christian clvillxa
lion the whale worfd ua been lifted to
purer eoi belter living.
Theaervlces are unusually Interesting
but loo lengthy for us to give even syn
opsis. We find the following highly compllmen
lary mention of our former glltod
low os women, Mrs. M. Carman and Mus M.
U. Henderson, In tbe Patterson Daily
Press, published at Palteison, New Jersey.
The ooooerl wis given for the benefit ol
Mr. Thomas Benson, and of tde part taken
by those leliea that journal says:
"Mrs. M. Carman delighted tbe audience
with an exquisite soprano solo, The Chal
t Horn, ooroet obligate being aouoded
behind the scenes. Her sister, Mist Hen
derson (a fine alto singer), accompanied
ber to perfection an the piaoo. This was
really Ibe gem ol the evening, and tbe au
dlenoe fairly sprang to their leel at the
close and insisted upon an encore. Mrs.
German Is a beautiful and gracelul lady,
and a most charming and aooompliabed
linger. She Is a sister of Mrs. Walter
Smith, of Hamburgh avenue, and is new
cower to our oily."
We are glad to learn of tba success these
ladies are meeting with in the profession
they have adopted, and at no distant day
we predict they will stand second to noue
among tbe list of musioians ol Patterson
as they did In Petroleum Centre.
Tbe Allegheny Valley (Railroad has coo
ireoied for twelve oew looomotives, wbich

The Petroleum Centra Record says: "For
some months pant we have not had a t'e.i
rlcal entertainment or public exhibition of
any kind la our town, Irmi the fact that
tbe hall ageols, both in Titusville and Oil
City, peisislently report to ell adveuce
agents of troupes (bat tbere is no use in
topping at tbe Centre, as tbe place was
played out and abandoned." Any one
would judge from tbe dolelul complaints and
gecerel dullness of tbe Record that Ibe Cen
tre is played out. They bave only taken the
Record's word lor It-
The above mean inueudo we find In Ibe
Oil City Derrick, the big I and Tittle u of
tbe oil region In lis own estimation, this
morning. All of our readers know tbe
Derrick's statement to be untrue, and that
we have never made any complaiuis of dull
times exoept when local option went Into
force. That law burl the place and fur a
time made things look as II we were lagging
behind, but a change came and we think
Petroleum Centre a fair average of Ibe oil
towns of this region as a business poiut, In
proot of waiob we are still issuing the Rec
ord, and although not qnite so metropoli
tan ( T) as that sheet, still manage to pub
lish a 'dull' sheet and make a liviug at It.
Our poiot In the above quoted paiagrapb
was that the ageota ol tbe opera botuet,
both in Oil City aud Titusville, lor the last
year or more have made it a business to
warn advance agents ot exhibitions not to
stop at Ibis place as it was abandoned, hop
ing by that meaos to induoe our citizens lo
patroune their towos, or as the beg
gars have it, "a few peuaies if you please,
anything will help keep us alive at your
expense." Of tbls fact we buve tbe woid
of the most reliable advance agents on the
road. Tbe Derrick man should remember
lhal it received the nuoleua that gave it life
in Petroleum Ceulre, and that it should not
upon every occasion try lo belittle, slander
and throw dirt upon those whom tbey still
ssk patranage of on the score of "au:d lacg
syne,"
A careful reader of that piper would also
suppose tbe astute editors would find plenty
to do to ooireot sod cull out lu own col
umns, with misstating sod garbling tbe
views of Its neigbbois, and then seeking to
make capital by cotnmeoiiog on its own
misstatements. Does the Derriok not know
lbs! in their Paul Pry bunt after the morula
and doings of their neighbors, they are neg.
lectlog their own columns la such an extent
that Ibe paper is not a desirable one for a
lather lo take into bis family. Look over I
Us columns tbls morning, lo fact any day,
and you will Uud such choice expressions
for tbe fireside reading of the elite young
Indies ol Oil City as "It beats the devil
bitnseir'; run Ibe entire couoern to tbe
devil"; '-be damned if he wouldn't''; "rais
ed bell," while oue woman Is quoted as
saying she would spank another ol ber sex
until tbe "devil's duett" would ring from
tbe place. This is only a few choice ex
pressioos auy of wbich cau be seen daily in
this censor of a'l other papers In the region.
