An excellent concert wns given by
the Young lien's club of St. David's
episcopal chuieh Inst evening to a
latge audience. A vocal nolo, "Asleep
at the Switch," was fang In gooil olco
by Job Whitehouse and made a lino
impression. The dialogue, "177G-1S7G,"
Hpoken by Misses Tannle Hlttenbender
nnd Stella Williams, developed the con
trast of two centuries, which the la
dles delineated in an Intel estlng man
ner. Misses Irene Hobeits and Minnie
Weber played piano solos and piano
duets with their teacher, Piofessor 12.
II. Williams, showing line epresslon,
good technluuo nnd excellent plvias
ing. Miss Itoberts in the "Frolic of
the Tillies," a competitive piece In
which she will compete at an eistedd
fod on Labor day, pel formed with a
hi llllancy sm prising In one so young.
Miss Weber's "In the Meadows," a
piano solo, seemed to bilng out the
piece with effect.
The tecitatlons by Miss Mattlo
Hughes wcio gems of elocution and
she pleased everybody with her line
enunciation and method. A pantomime
entitled "A Close Shave," acted by the
Williams Hi others, was a laughable
scene. They lepeated the effect in the
"Hungry Tiamp." The vocal feolo by
Master Archie Williams was rendered
in good stjle. This joung boy has a
piomlslng olce nnd n biignt future
for him is expected. The Instiumen
tnl yolo, "The Ciicket on the Hearth,"
by Stanley Phillips, was pleasingly
rendeied.
Miss Helen Markwlck sang "Ask
Her If I'm Welcome" In her usual style.
She always pleases and seems a favor
ite among musical people. Hrnest
Williams sang "The Girl I Should
Have Mauled Long Ago" with pleas
ing effect.
The piano duets pel formed bv Pio-fehi-ois
Claike S. Thomas and IJdwln
H Williams vvoie cleverly executed
and elicited much applause fiom the
audience They plaed .several difficult
selections with ease and giace and

PRESIDENT'S FLANS OHANCrED.
May Not Bo Able to Visit tho O. A.
R. Encampment.
Washington, Aug. 23. The Chlneso
crisis has reached so acute n stage that
President McKlnley has notified tho
management of the Grand Army Re
public encampment In Chicago that he
may not bo able to be present at tho
encampment next week, although If
possible he will endeavor to take somo
part in tho ceremonies. Tho an
nouncement is rendered necessary by
the grave situation In the far east.
Mr. Cortelyou. secretary to the pres
ident, has Just advised William II.
Hniper, executive dhector of tho na
tional encampment of tho Grand Army
of the Hepubllc that whllo 'the presi
dent had Intended to leave Washington
tomorrow, reaching Chicago Saturday
afternoon, to paitlclpate In the exer
cises of tho encampment, tho condi
tion of public business of immediate
Importance In Washington will delay
his departure from Washington and
possibly prevent him from visiting Chi
cago at all. If the president finds that
he can leave here so as to bo present
at somo of the exercises he will do
so, and Mr. Harper nnd others having
them In charge will be promptly no
tified. MINE AFIRE FOR FORTY YEARS.
Flames in Summit Hill Coal Veins
Spread to n Colliery.
Allentown, Pa., Aug. 23. The fire in
the mine nt Summit Hill, which hia
been raging furiously for the last week
has broken Into the Spring Tunnel col
liery, opciated by Geoigo M. Davica,
and all efforts to prevent its spread
have so far pi oved' unavailing. On ac
count of the heat and tho attendant
link tho foice of ilre-flghlers was com
pelled to leave the mine. All opera
tions at the Spring Tunnel colliery
have ceased and 300 men and boys have
been thrown out of employment in
definitely. Tho fire In the Summit Hill mine
originated forty years ago, nnd has
Blnce been burning tho coal steadily.
It Is estimated that tho Lehigh Co.il
and Navigation company, which owns
tho property, has expended a million
dollars in an endeavor to extinguish
the fire. The big duplex pump which
pouted water into the mine broke down
a short time ago, and tills, it Is said,
is tesponsible for the spread of the
flames. The fiie is now eating Us
way through the richest veins of coal
in the Panther Creek valley. The sus
pension of work at the Spring Tunnel
colliery Is a serious blow to the busi
ness Interests of Lansford and Summit
Hill.

that port, too.
"Everything, In fact, will go along as
usual, and we shall continue our pro
gressive policy," added Mr. Tweed.

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her
Little Daughter's Life.
I am the mother of eight children
and have had a great deal of experi
ence with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had tho dysentery
in Its worst fotm. Wo thought sho
would die. I tiled everything I could
think of, but nothing seemed to do her
any good. I saw by an advertisement
in our papei that Chamberlain's Colic,
Choleia and Dlarthoea Remedy was
highly recommended and sent and got
a bottle at once. It proved to be ono
of the very best medicines we ever had
in tho house. It saved my llttlo
.!.,,, ,.iit,r'n life. I am anxious for overv
mother to know what an excellent
medicine It is. Had I known it at first
it would have saved me a great deal
of anxiety and my little daughter
much suffering. Youis truly, Mrs.
