The annual bano, let of Somerset Council
P.oya! ATar.uni at the Somerset House,
Thursday evening, was by all oddi the most
successful ever given by the local organiza
tion. The members accompanied by their
wives, elaiigbiers and sweethearts met in the
lodge room at C IL, where an interesting
literary and musical programme had been
provided for their entertainment. At ten
o'clock a!! proceeded to the hotel and were
soon senteJ around the banquet table of that
pplendid hostelry. The landlord, ex-Sheriff
Kyle, had spared no expense in preparing a
bill or fare for bis guests, and the tables
fairly groaned und?r their weight of delica
cies. L. C. Coloorn, E-o, , was the towt
master of the occasion.
Impromptu addresses were male by a
number of members.
The members of the G. A. R. of this ootic
ty are ru-king arrangements to attend the
Xatiunal Kncampment to be held in Wash
ington, I). C , in Setrfember. Already over
one hundred of the veterans have signifiod
their intention of being present, and the
coniiuittee, who have the arrangements in
charge, anticipate that this number wiil be
increased lo one hundred and fifty by the
time they are rvae'y to leave for the Nation
al Capital. Quarters Lave been reserved for
that Dumber from this county in the tem
porary strcelnre-lliat will he erected by the
District of Columbia for the entertainment
of the. via tors. Ech comrade will carry
his own blankets. The drum corpse Of
Hinchmaa Camp, Sons of Veterans, will ac
company the eklegation from this county,
and it is nut improbable that the Somerset
cornet band will alio be invited to join the
delegation. It is propemd to make the en
campment of this year the greatest in point
of numbers that has met aiace the war.
It was inky dark about half past 9 o'clock
Thursday night, when ii aster " Bern" Ben
ford, the fifteen-year-old son of druggist
Geo. W. Ben ford, start M for his home on
Union street. "Bern" had been spending
the evening on the strte-ls, as most Somerset
boys do at this season of the year. Just as
he got in front of the alley between the lots
of F. J. Kooser, Esej , and Mrs. Postleth
waite, two men spraug out and grabbing
" Bern" up lodily carried him into the mid
dle of the rad, where they went through
his pockets and ripped his clothing almost
entirely off his body. Master " Bern"' was
not very heavily loaded with lucre and it
was doubtless for that reason that the high
way men gave him a sound drubbing. It is
bardlv credible that two men would lay in
wait for the purpose of waylaying a mere
boy such as their vie-tiai proved to be, and it
is generally believed that they made a mis
take in their man, and that their plan was
to assault another well known resident of
Voiou street, who is kaowu to always car
ry more or less mor.e-y about his person.
The members cf the town council and the
e'.e'ctric light company have about agreed
r.pou the tollow ing locations for the arc
street l:gbis: At the rairoad crossing on
Main street. Public S.jnare, Main and Bo
sanna streits, Gravel Hill, West and Cuion
streets, Union and East streets, Patriot and
East streets, Race and West streets, Sanuer
and Main Cross streets. South and Main
Cross streets. Green Lane and Main Cross
streets, West and Patriot streets. The Coun
ty Commissioners have agreed to place an
arc hglrt in front of the Court House. It is
probable teo, that the proprietors of the Som
erset House and Fark Hotel win place arc
iights in front of their house! and that the
railroad company will subscribe for at least
one light for the station. The town council
would merit the approbation o( the citizens of
the borough in case they should make an ef
fort to have the B. .V O. Company erect lights
at every street crossed by the-ir road in the
town. This would be a Tcry trilling return
on the part of the company to the people of
Somerset who generously donated one of
their streets to the company's use. Lights
at these points would alford protection
to the company and to the public.
It has been suggasted that the committee
appointed by the totvn council to nose
around several properties through which a
long-established drain pasrs, in the hope
that a nuisance might be unearthed, turn
their attention to the gutter on the north side
of west Main street. This gutter is at least
three feet deep forepuite a d. stance at several
points and is a menace to the safety of per
ns who travel that thoroughfare.
At a meeting of the town couJc.l, prohihly
a year ago, a resolution was pased, aa.iior
iziDg the construction of a sewer from a
peiint below West street to the stream at the
foot of that street, the idea b;inr to abate
the nuisance now complained of by the
property owners aad to tiil up the dangerous
gutter above mentioned. Ia fact matters had
progre-s-d so far that bids were taken for
the construction of the sewer. We are told
that the lowest bid was about $150. This
action on the part of the former council has
been rescinded. We are told that the objec
tion of a back of water cannot be urged
against the construction of a sewer. It has
been further intimated that in case a prose
cution is brought against the property own
ers for maintaining a nuisance a similar
charge will be entered tgcinst the town
council at once.
Postoffico Burglar Taken.
A telegram from Pittsburgh says that Post
otlice Insctor I)iekson was in a very good
humor Saturday over the capture of Samuel
Ii. Brown, w her, in May cf this year robbed
the pc2t-otiice at Woodbury, Bedford coun
ty, and secured iXi). The robber was cap
tured on Friday, at Maria, Bexiford county,
and is now in jail at Hoili layshurg.
Oa the night of May 19, i.-irj. Postmaster
Kruse, cf Woodbury, who lives ia the
b'iu-e aJj iiuing the pest-oihte, was awak
ened hy an explosion in the post oili.v -. He
ran to the iecond-slory window and liooked
into the strett. Jut as he reached tLc win
dow a man came out of the pcit-e.tlice and
started to run down street. Mr. Krouse
called to him to st -p. The man did sup,
whee led, and rai.sing his arm, fired a shot at
the Pottmas'er, wLo involuntarily dodged,
and, the bullet cut through the sleeve of the
nightshirt, in which Mr. Krouse was array
ed. Mr. Krouse went into the hou-e:, searched
for a Wf..;an, and cot finding it, started
eluwn stalls and out into the street. Mill
dretseei for fcluiuher. As he reached the
street the man was waitiog and fired two
more shots, oi.eef which cut through the
shou'.dir cf the single garment.
In the meantime Mrs. Kructte had been
attracted by the noise, and hurried to the
veranda jtiat as her husband received the
second volley. The re.blxr then paid Lis
respects to S!:j. Krouse, an Hired two tho'.s,
one of which nece-ssltaUd the mending of
her sole garment at the neck. Mr. Krouse
by this time became mad, and he stalled to
ward the strarger.
When within Ge feet of him' another shot
cut a lock of Lair from the Postmaster's
head, and the man turned and ran, followed
by Mr. Krouse, w ho by this time had been
joined by several cilie-ns, but the robber es
caped. An exsmination of the islofliee
showed that the safe had been blown open
and all the valuable contents removed.
Taking an Oath.
Ituring the sitting of the country court,
both last week and the week previous, says
the Johnstown 'J rl'. n it. Judge Barker called
attention to the growing practice or enstom
and remarked that it is permissible for per
sons to alUrm only when they have consci
entious scruples against taking an oath. All
others should swear cither by the book or
by the uplifted hand, aad he recomme-nded
the latter as the most desirable method for
three reasons. First, from a sanitary con
sideration, as doctors assert that certain dis
eases may be cjaimunicated by the indis
criminste kissing of the Bible ; second, be
cause the uplifted hand is the customary
ferm ia nearly all the courts of adjacent
counties; third, because it is the ruost ex
peditious method of administer ing aa oath,
a consideration of much importance in court
proceedings.
May Dehorn Cattle.
The bottom dropped out of the North
Sewie kly cattle dehorning case very sudden
ly at Beaver Friday afternoon when Judge
Wick ham deiared that under the statute
the indictment which charged wanton and
cruel treatment of the cattia could not be
sustained by the evidence produced, and
said that if the jury should find the defend
ant guilty he would be obliged to grant a
new trial. District Attorney Wickham, there
fore, entered nolle pros. Henceforth, or
until the legislature makes a change in the
statute under which the suit was brought,
the farmers of Beaver county will continue
to saw off the horns of their cattle.

SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONVENTION.
Ar.nuat Meeting of Lutheran Sunday-schools
at Hooversville.
The annual convention of Lutheran Sun
day schools of Somerset county, held at
Hooversville, Jnne C, was one of the most
enjoyable meetings of that large and happy
body.
The Convention was called to order by the
Chsirroan, W. H. Ruppcl, E?q , who ap
pointed Mr. Oliver Kepper to conduct the
devotional exercise. Her. J. 8. Harkey, of
Someiset, led in prayer. Irwin M. Hoover,
Esq , was appointed Secretary jm lem. The
chair appointed a committee of 9 on creden
tials, of which Oliver Knepper was made
chairman. The delegations from the various
schools of Association were generally en
couragicg! large, and all in excellent humor
and quite ready to enjoy the feast of good
things awaiting them.
A letter from the Secretary of lha Associa
tion, Mr. G. G. GretT, of Confluence, advised
the Convention of the impossibility of his
being present, and the Secretary pro Urn was
continued until the Convention was perma
nently organized. At the' night session the
Pastor, Rev. A. H. Saertr, delivered an ad
dress of welcome, which was highly appre
ciated hy all prtssmt, and was ably responded
to by liev. E. 8. Johnston, of Stoyestown,
who closed his address by saying that be
cause of a lack at the close of the program
he had f xle-uded his re-marks to a greater
length than he would have done. It became
a question in the mind of some of the aud
itors whether he referred to the fact that the
President was to follow, or that Dr. Albert
was absent, who was lo deliver the principal
address of the cveaing. However, that was,
the President followed with a very earnest
and excellent address, emphasising the ex
cellencies of a true Lutheran Christianity,
and deploring the occasion for the action of
crowding out distinctively Lutherau teach
ing in Pennsylvania College. The Pastor
had placed a design on the blackboard with
the word "Welcome," in large letters at the
top of the board, a B.L'e in the centre with
a crts Covering its open pages, a crown lo
the left, a laudscajie to the right with either
a rising or a setting sun ; and the remark of
Franklin came to the re porter's mind, when
in the Constitutional Convention in 17S7.
"As one by one delegates from all the Suites
a.iixed their naaies to the new constitution
and the Southern members filed to the Sec
retary's desk, Franklin b aining with hap
piness and Lope, cmg'it f ight of a sun rude
ly cut oa the back of Washington's chair.
He whispered to a delegate near him that
painters had found it ditticult to distinguish
a rising from a setting sun. 'I have often
and often during the course of the session,'
said he, 'amid the solicitude-of my hopes and
fears as to its issue, looked at that behind
the President without being able to tell
whether it was rising or setting. But now
at length 1 know that it is a rising and not
a setting eun.' " But our Prankliu discern
ed at once in the design the rising sun, and
rwi(.'j, as the . rilliant success of the conven
tion proved. The president very felicitously
availed himself of the de-sign in outlining his
excellent addrvss. A committee of sixteen
oa organization was appointed by the chair,
with Mr. M. D. Reed as chairman, who in
due time reported the following nomina
tions : For president, W. U. Ruppel, Esp,
vice president, Ee-v. M. L. Young; recording
secretary, lrwia M. Hoover, Esq. ; corres
or.diiig secretary, Trof. J. C. Speicher;
treasurer, Rev. J. J. Welch. The convention
unanimously endorsed the nominees. Oa
motion of liev. J. S. Harkey, Rev. W. H.
Settlemeyer was authorized to report the
proceedings of the couventiou.
Being regularly organized for work, the
dascusiion ou the subject. "The Sunday
school in relation to the young people's
societies," was opened with aa essay by Miss
F.oicuce Will, of Rockwood. She gave as a
brief oulhue of the his'ory of the Sunday
school and its needs, and then represented
the Christian Endeavor society as admira
bly filling these demands for success in Sunday-school
work; and how the superintend
ent and teachers in turn can help the Christ
ian Eudeayor. The tssay was excellent in
composition, and well read.
Rev. G. W. W. Amlck, of Johnstown, em
phasized the fact that teaching Christ is the
work oftheChristien Eadeavor and supple
ments the work of the Suuday-schcoL
Rev. W. W. Kribs, of Salisbury, discrim
inated between the fcunday-schoai as a place
of teaching facts, :id the Christian Endeav
or hich, as the steam in the engine, gives
the spiritual impetus. The society pledges
its members to read the B.ble and take part
in public cxereiies. It makes preying mem
bers. Rev. E. Manges, of Lavar.sville, believed
the socie'y a very gre-at help in training
young iapi'. but finds it uiliicuit to keep
up in the country.
Brotiier Euos, of Garrett, said that the
society, of which he was president, after a
struggle to get under way, was quite success
ful, and he was cordial in Lis. endorsement
of the soeiety's work.
Rev. J. S. Harkey, of Somerset, advocated
the Lather Alliane-e movement as preferable
to ti e CbrUtian Endeavor, because it i.-' more
distinctively in tLe line of our own church
woik.
Prof. J. M. Beikey, of Berlin, was glad
that cot only was the Sunday-school for
children, but also for the older people. The
e'uriljy-schoo! is for the church, and the
Christian Endeavor ia the connecting link
bet ween them. Its came indicates its char
acter. It is a christian soeiety and endeavor
society. It looks after the intellectual and
social development.
I. M. Hoover, E-rj., of Hooversville, con
siders turning everything into a denomina
tional sciety a humbug. There ia too
much denomiuationalisin. A name will
cot make a society better.
liev. A. H. Sherz thinks the members of
the convention did not read Shakespeare,
who says a rose called by some other name
t metis as sweet.
President Ruppel wante-d to kick because
his toes were tramped. He believes there is
a great deal in a tame. Don't believe in
unionism. The Epworth League for the M.
E. church, and the Luther Alliance for the
Lutheran church. A man cannot be a Lu
theran and reject fundamental principles, as
cot to be lieve in infant baptism, as was re
ported that some Lutherans did not, which
he rfga.-ded as a monstrosity. He thought
it easier to keep np a society in the country
than in tewn. The difference of views be
tween him and RcT. Manges arises from the
fact that in the country there are fewer
temptations to draw them away, but it is to
be remembered, also, that in the country
there is less culture hy way of ease and
freedom in society and public addrese, and
this didide-nce is a great hindrance to suc
cess in the country.
Rev. Gruver, of Berlin, holds that as a
Sunday school in an M. K. church is a
Methodist Sunday-school, and a Sunday
school in a Lutheran church is a Lutheran
Sunday-school, So a Christian Endeavor in a
Lutheran church is a Lutheran society, and
has no need of being called by any other
name, as Luther Alliance. The Luther Al
liance emphasizes theinte-llectual too strong
ly, to the disadvantage of the devotional el
ement in worship.
The president appointed a committee of
eight on resolutions, with Rev. G. W. Crist
as chairman, and a committee of nine on re
ports, with Rev. G. W. W. Amick as chair
man. He also reappointed the executive
committee as follows: Rev. M. L. Young
chairman ; Rev. C. B. Gruver, Rev. E. S.
Johnson, Prof. J. M. Berkey and Mr. S. B.
Philson.
The reports of the schools were read in
open session. The president suggested that
the schools send the names of delegates in
time and give the title, as Mr., Mrs., or Miss,
and the relation of husband and wife so
they and the names of only such as will
come could be properly located to the places
of their entertainment. Prof. Berkey at this
juncture clTered a resolution in view of lim
iting the number of delegates, which was
referred to the committee on resolutions.
The treasurer, Rev. J. 3. Welch, reported as
follows: The schools contributed $11; col
lection, $S.23 ; balance in treasury, f 13.28;
total receipts, tei.lS ; paid lo the support of
a cat cell 1st in India, $W; expenses. $30; lev
tal expenditure, f-tu; balance in treasury,
The program was again resumed, and
Prof. J. C. Si wider told us bow to make a
Sunday-school attractive a neat room, car
peted, mottoes on the wall, etc., were nqui
tiles.
Rev. CrUt jocularly suggested a good look
ing superintendent. To interest the chil
dren, promptness was recommended. Old
people can wait children never. Singing
is an attraction. Good teaching, which is
hard to get, makes the school interesting.
Rev. Manges answered the question,
" How to make the school beneficial." He
could not see who would be the beneficiary
of the Sunday-school except that the church
would be benefitted if the Sunday-school
would remain for preaching and contribute
though onr theory is that the church is to
support the Sunday-school.
Prof. Speicher says, elect the best man for
superintendent and do not rotate. Have
good teachers, who are members of the
ch'irch, the earnest, devoted members.
Judge O. P. Shaver believed that the
church should be in the Sunday school and
the Sunday-school in the church.
Rev. A. B. Miller, of Glade, asks : " How
would yoa draw out an uninteresting class
if the class does not prepare the lesson ?"
Prof. Speicher would talk to them person
ally concerning their privileges not duty
and tell them what they wtll miss by not
taking an interest in the lesson.
Rev. Shertx illustrated how difficult it ia
to get some children's minds on the lesson
by an incident. A teacher spoke of the lore
of Christ to bis class, and after the proper
impression was supposed to have been made,
asked the class, " Xow, children, what do
you love beat ?" When a precocious little
fellow quickly answered, "ginger cakes."
The following queries were given : What
is the purpose or benefit of the Sunday
achool banner class R.v. Harkey answer
ed that the purpose is to stimulate, but the
benefit is "nir."
" Would not a prayer meeting take the
place of a Christian Endeavor Society ?
Rev. Krihbs answered, No ; the prayer meet
ing prays and talks, but the Christian En
deavor prays, talks anei works. Prayer meet
ings have not done the work the societies
are now doing.
Report from the committee on Reports
was read. They retiorted 2JS officers, 31o
teachers, 3,723 scholars, as belonging to this
association, with nine schools not report
ing. The number of lesson leaves used are 423 ;
lesson books, 2,sl9; Augsburg Teachers,
311; Lutheran Sunday-school Heralds, 745.
The total amount contributed for all pur
poses by the schools was $2KW.3o ; contrib
uted for missions. $J76.7l. The banner for
the largest average attendance, and the larg
est contribution per capita for missions, was
awarde-d to the school at Bakersville, in the
Livansville charge, Rev. E. Manges, pastor,
with honorable mention of the school at
Somerset. The president accordingly pre
sented the banner to the delegation from
Bakersville, in a very graceful address, con
gratulating the school on its merited suc
cess, and referred to the high standing of
the school in the years of the past. He
trusted that their success might provoke oth
ers to good works, and be a healthy stimu
lus to the successful school itself.
Systematic beneficence' in tho Sunday
school was presented to the convention by
W. II. Settlemeyer, of Rxkwood. He first
reviewed the work of the association for the
past year, and complimented them on the
success attained. Then he referred to the
difficulty of obtaining system, because we
could not agree as to the best way of doing
this work. He also recommended closer ad
herence to the calls of the church boards for
contributions from the Sunday-school.
Oliver Knepper liked the word " Benefi
cence," because it meant doing good. He
endorses the adherence to the system inaug
urated by the church boards. He observes
improvement in this department of the Sun
day school work with each advancing year.
The president gave us an earnest talk on
system in all work, and so we must have it
in this work, and urged the school to con
tribute on the first Sunday of each month
for missions, and lo the boards when their
calls come to the schools. He hopes that no
school will report blank on mission work
next year. Nine Schools reported blank this
year, 14 reported under elO. 8 reported f P),
over and less than $23, 6 reported over $2j,
3 report i-d over $o(), and 3 reported over
$ivJ. The banner school re ported over $142.
The average for ail the te htiols reporting
was J 22 77.
A spirited discussion on methods of re
porting in the minutes of the Synod by the
Sunday-school, by Rev. Miller and others
for a time occupied the attention of the con
vention. Rev. R. L. Xoel, of the Christian church ,
was, on ri.oiiun, invited to a seat with us in
the convention.
Rev. A. B. Miller, on the subject of Home
Training and the Sunday se hool, said : "The
irishman's btme training wj3 with a stick,
aad so he (the Irishman) says : 'And I will
train my children as I was trained." The
German trains his children to gather money
aud keep it, We want, as the Uern.au, to
train the children to gather money, but not
to keep it. Fruf. O. O. Say lor voiced the
sentiment of parents who expect the Sua-tUy-ecbexl
to take the place of home train
ing, by citing a remark he overheard in a
town where many of the young tfople are
given to profanity. 1 It seems strange,' said
a bystander, on hearing some boys swear,
'that there is so much swearing in this town
when nearly ail the children go lo Sunday :
school."
Rev. Xoel thought parental example
essential to success in home training.
Rev. Johnson said home training trains
children, while the Sunday school teaches
them. Hume training makes habit.
Rev. Amick believes true home training is
not so much ia teaching as in a practical
home life, where all manners, dispeieilions
and feeling play their part.
Rev. Settle mycr referred to Dr. Trumbull's
testimony, that home training it not success
ful unless the re is public teaching of the
Bible as in the Sunday -school.
Brother Lohr said you cannot tecch them
to hoid (he truth unless regenerated. Teach
more of Christ aud there will be no desire to
do wrong.
Brother I. M. Hoover believes in strict
training. Children from unchristian homes
need especial care in the Sunday-school.
Fray, but don't fail to work for the end for
which you prny.
"How can we best promote 8unelay ob
servance?" wasopenetlby Prof. Speicher.
First, he said, observe it at home ; then say
to Bottie, "Bettie, get your hat and let ns go
to church," But don't say to Bettie, "Afier
church we will go to Mr. Smith's for dinner
and next Sunday we will go to Mr. Jone s."
Go home. Don't plan or take pleasure trips.
Example will sometimes only he laughed at.
We should enforce the law. It is the duty
of the officers of the law to see that the law
is enforced, therefore we should see that the
ri ;ht kind of officers are clewed.
Rev. Manges believes the form of Sabbath,
desecration most to be deplored in this
country is Sabbath visiting.
Mr. Hoover stopped on Sunday to put a
plank in a bridge to save any one from
accident, and was censured for It, bat
answered was it not better to keep the sheep
out of the pit than to lift it out after it had
fallen in?
We have not further space lo report all
the good things said by other speakers en
this topic
The Committee on Resolutions reported
the following :
Resolved, That hereafter each school of
this Association shall be limited to two
delegates for every hundred members of the
school, or fraction of the same, exclusive of
the pastors, the officers of the Association, N
and persons named on the program for the
convention. After an animated discussion
and a cordial expression of 'much good
humor. The resolution was adopted. The
following were also adopted.
Resolved, That we express our appreci
ation of the general interest manifested in thj
santity of tie Lord s Jay, arid irust lLat the
present at tit in' e of the Lower House of
Congress concerning the World's Fair arel
the Sabbath Day, will extend to all branches
of our government aud insure the entire
closing cf the Columbian Exposition on that
day, and save our christian nation from
shame in the e-ye-j ol Gel and Ctrls endora.
Resolved, That we retfSrrn cur former
resolutions in regard to temperance and urge
the officers and teacle-ts to faithfully teach
the principles of temieranee ard prohibi
tion both by precept and xample.
Resolved, That we approve of the friendly
rivalry among the schools of this convention
and express our gratification that the banner
bas gone from its usual course, and another
successful school has won this banner; may
the fact that Bakersville Sunday-school won
this honorable laurel, encourage many other
schools to aspire to win in the future.
Resolved, That it is the judgment of this
association that the religious instmction
Imparted in the colleges anl other institu"
lions of learning nnder the control of the
church should be in harmony with the
doctrines of the church and, we believe th e
leaching of God's word from a Lutheran
standpoint, in such institutions wiil be
conclusive lo the promotion of our educa
tional interests in general.
Resolved, That we extend thanks to the
pastor and the good people of Hooversville
and community for their kind hospitality,
and commend their deed of love and good
will to the kind Father above for his
continued blessing upon them.
Resolved, That the thanks of this con
vention are also tendered the persons who
presided at the organ, the persons who con
tributed to the success of the excellent
program, and to toe o.'ticers anil tha ex
ecutive committee of the association for their
share in the success of this convention.
The convention adjourned with many
brief but enthusiastic expressions from its
delegates of the profit and the enjoyment
experienced during its sessions. Hoovers
ville wiil long be remembered as an oasis in
our Sunday-school work, as well as for its
wholesale hospitality.
