eight lots, most of which are occupied
by dwelling houses. The land abuts on
the Delaware & Hudson tracks. The

A dog Is the point in controversy be
tween Charles Waldner, of the Eleventh

the East Mountain to Wohllnsky and one
of the side bargains Wns that a certain
dog, the property of Waldner, should re
main on the farm. Waldner, however,
claims that he made the condition that
the dog should lie kept well. This, he
says, Wohllnsky has failed 'to live up to.
Rut Wohllnsky won't give up the dog,
so Waldner went before Alderman Dona
van Saturday night and succeeded In
having Wohllnsky held under J20O ball

West Market Street Welsh Baptists
Welcome Their New Pastor and
Burn a Mortgage.
The reception tendered Rev. John A.
Evans, the newly elected pastor of the
West Market Street Welsh Haptlst
church', last evening in the chinch
auditorium, was an auspicious occa
sion and despite the Inclement weath
er the church was thronged. Tho con
giegatlon had a big surprise in store
loi their lr!;nds when the announce
ment wns made, that the mortgage
which had so long been an Incumber
auce on the church, would lie. burned
and hereafter be a, thing of the past.
The services were arranged under the
direction of the Young People's society
of the church and one of their number,
Mr. Thomas Lewis was chosen to act
as chairmun for the occasion. In open
ing the exercises he delivered an ad
dress which embodied many thoughts
ot interest to those assembled.
There wns a vocal and literary en
tertainment of rnre Interest, partici
pated in by many of tlio prominent lo
cal talent. Letters of regret were read
by the chairman from Rev. Horace
Ptckover and Rev. J. T. Lloyd, of
Wilkes- Harre.
The burning of the mortgage in point
of interest, lunked only second to the
reception of the pastor. Tills duty was
allotted to Lewis Joins and Mrs. Dln'i
Kvnns, two eluiiii'i members of tho
church, and the oldest now living. Mr.
Jones was called lit on to deliver an
address whliii he did and told several
interesting reminiscences concerning
the early place of worship, how the
church won finally erected and rebuilt
and how tlia memlieru of tho congrega
tion Increased from thirty-six charter
members until today It Is a nourishing
and pTigiessivo body.
The burning of tho mortgage then
occurred. Mi. Jones held the much
dtsplsed paper 'vlulo Mrs. Lvans ap
plied the match. Soon It was 110 more
and the last vestige of debt faded from
tight.
Rev. Mr. Evans then lesponded to a
call for an address from tho chair
man. His remai ks were brief, plain
and outspoken and urgd the cu-upera-tion
of his congregation In the ad
vancement of tho church's welfare.
Talks of three minutes' duration were
then made by Rev. Dr. R. P. Jones, of
the 'Welsh Congiegatlonnl church; Rts.
W. G. Watklns, of the Noith Main
Avenue Haptlst church; Rev. Mr. Klltw.

STATE PLOHEItS.
Each One of the ('oiuiiniiivenltli
'lav lluvo Them in ilio Vcnr Pu
tin o.
Every one of the forty-five states In
the Union has a motto and a shield,
and some of these mottoes seem to the
disinterested observer to be somewhat
inappropriate, says the New York Sun.
Nevada, for instance, whose popula
tion is declining steadily and whose in
fluence Is yearly growing less, has for
its motto Volens et Poten.s (Willing
and Able). Mississippi, the only one
of the states which lias ever repudi
ated formally its public debt, has as
Its motto "Union, Justice nnd Confi
dence." On the other hand, AVyomlng,
the pioneer state in woman's suffrage,
has as Its motto "Let Arms Yield to
the Gown." The motto of Oregon Is
"She Flics with Her Own Wings," the
apposlteness ot which docs not appear
to be entirely clear for a state whose
foreign commerce and railroad busi
ness are done throuuh the adjacent
states of California and Washington.
Though all states have mottoes and
all states have shields, only u small
proportion of the states have flowers,
though all may have them before very
long If the popular demand for flowers
typical of statehood continues to In
crease. The Iowa legislature at Des
Moines last week adopted the wild rose
as the official flower of tho Hawkeyo
state. There are forty-live states, but
twelve of them only havo official flow
ers, the selection of which has de
volved In some states upon the legis
lature, nnd In others upon the public
school children. Two New England
states only have expressed a prefer-
Sklna on flro with torturing, disfiguring,
Itching, burning, bleeding, scaly, and pimply
humor, Instantly relieved by a warm bath

ence for nny flower; Vermont for tho
red clover. In act of tho legislature,
and Rhode Island, by vote of Its school
children, for tho violet. The golden
rod is the favorite in AInbama: tho
mngnolla In Georgia, and tho peach
blossom in Delaware. Southwestern
states are not represented In flowers
to nny great extent. Those states in
which complete or limited woman suf
frage has been established by law are
those who have taken the lead In tho
selection of state (lowers. Colorado has
the columbine; Idnho, the syrlnglu;
Montana, the bitter root, nnd Utnh, tho
sego Illy. The state (lower of Nebras
ka Is the golden rod, which is like
wise the state flower of Oregon. Michi
gan has ndopted the clover, and Kan
sas, "the Sunllower state," would nat
urally, one might think, adopt the sun
flower as Its favorite, but "they do
things different In Kansas," and the
field daisy Is the favorite.
The state llower of Minnesota Is the
moccasin llower. New York's prefer
ence for a state llower has been for
several years a matter of contention.
The rose Is the favorite, but on the
vote of the school children of the state
held some years ago the preference for
several varieties of roses led to a sub
division of the vote among these, with
the result that, technically, tho golden
rod had the majority and was chosen;
but efforts have been made since to
reverse this declaration of preference,
with the result that there are some
who say the golden rod Is the favorite
of the Empire state and others who
contend that the rose Is entitled to the
distinction. The favorite of New Jer
sey Is the white clover. Pennsylvania
has never pronounced In favor of any
llower.
A UOKKIKLi: EXAMPLE.
From tho Washington Star.
A small Washington girl Is very Ingen
ious and shales the aversion peculiar to
her years to being made presentable, for
the afternoon. She had, with great re
luctance, relinquished her play and gone
with her nurse from the room. In a few
minutes her voice wns heard outside the
door begging the uurso to return foi and
accompany her tick to her mother's
presence.
"It won't take a minute," she said,
"nnd I know my mother won't be angry,
because it Is something you ought to
know about."
"What is wanted?" Inquired the moth
er, opening the door.
"If you please," said the nurse. "She
wouldn't have It any other way than that
I should come back and tee you."
"What for?"
"To have you tell me a story."
"I don't understand."
"I dlln't want her to take my word for
It." interrupted the little glii. "I wa.it
you to tell her the story father read out
of the paper about an intoxicated gen
tleman who wouldn't listen to the advice
of his friends and who was llnally
drowned in his bath tub. Nurse won't
believe that there is any dam;er In my
being washed and dressed sro much."
