Lbon Watson, Fred. Rudolph, E. E. Zoendkl, Committeemen. TgK Pittsburg Gazette Times is author ity for the statement that in the Presby tery of Pittsburg alone there are twenty two Paenbyterians churches without pas tors, including some of the most desirable, A number of pulpits in the Presbytery of Erie are also vacant. This would indicate that the supply of Presbyterian ministers is not equal to the demand, and naturally the question arises why such a condi tion exists. Is it because the remunera tion is not sufficient, or because the preaching of the Gospel does not appeal to yonng men as it should? A bill has been iutroduced In the House at Harrisburg prohibiting the de livery or placing of packages, parcels or samples of medicines, candies or other merchandise in houses, upon porches, lawns or streets. This is a measure fre quently urged locally. It is a pernicious praotice of recent years for dispensers of quack remedies to scatter tliem about where children may find and swallow them. Tne bill is a just one and should be passed, but it should go a step farther and prohibit the littering of one's door yard with bills and posters announcing special sales, advertising patent nostrums, and the like. Senator McC'umbkb's service pension bill passed the Senate on Friday by a practically unanimous vote. Soldiers of the Civil or Mexican war who have reached the age of sixty-two years will receive f 12 per month under this bill; seventy years, f 15 and seventy-five years and over, $20. Of course those who are receiving larger pensions for disabilities incurred in line of duty are not affected by the bill. Neither is anybody else who is receiving a greater pension that this bill provides. There are a great many pension bills in the House and Senate, some of which apportiou the amount of pension to the length of the Boldler's sec vice, but the MoCumber bill is the only one that has been reported from oomm it tee in either House. The earthquake at Kingston, says a writer in Washington Post, may be ex pected to induce another crop of "predic tions" by knavish notoriety-seekers who seize upon the credulity of the timid. During the benumbing terror that pos sesses many persons in apprehending earthquakes, it is forgotten that there is no means known to mankind whereby forecasts may be made of these occur rences. Science is Ignorant af the cause of earthquakes, and consequently is un able to form a theory as to the place or time of their probable occurrence. All prophecies of earthquakes to come, by whomsoever uttered, are the merest rub bish, of no account except in the fear that may be inspired In the ignorant and su perstitious. The damage done by earth quakes in the world's history has been exceedingly small. Whooping cough has been far more deadly to mankind, and measles is more to be dreaded. Thk state legislature is moving prompt ly toward the redemption of the pledges of reform given in the Republican platform and by its candidates last fall. Already bills have been introduced providing for an investigation of the building of the capitol; for a 2 -cent railroad fare; giving trolleys the right to carry freight and the right of eminent domain; to Investigate the railroads of the state and also the Auditor General's and the State Treasur er's office. This is legislation which the people are looking for and short of which tbey will not be satisfied. Other reform measures are proposed In the state bank ing laws, which are to be so Improved upon as to drive dishonest officials and looters out of business, and give deposit ors a gimrantee that Ckuir deposits will be safe and forthcoming when wanted. Pub lioopiuion is pronounced upon these sub jects, and our worthy lawmakers will do woll to tnko boed. A POSSIBLE SCRAPPLE COMBINE. Story That Butchers Are Discussing Advisability of a Trust. York, Pa., Jnn. 22. There Is a story circulated here that the butchers of the state are quietly discussing the ad visability of forming a scrapple trust. They say there Is no money in selling the stuff at from 4 cents a pound In the country to 8 cents In the cities. Philadeluhla and Reading, which consume tons of scrapple, would feel the efTects of this move first. Several district attorneys In the ecrapplc belt have been making quiet Investigations and at the first move on the part of the butchers to raise the price suits will be brought to end the combine. Meanwhile It Is best that the people should be prepared for the worst and if necessary make their own scrapple. Here are the directions: Buy and kill a 200-pound hog. Grind It quite fine and boll, at the same time stirring in corn meal. Season with salt and plenty of pepper and when stiff turn into moulds. This will make enough for a large family. WHO SHOULD SKOVEL THE SNOW Pastor Arrested For Not 'Cleaning Church Walk Propounds a Poser. Scranton, Jan. 22. Probably the first arrest of its kind In the county was made here when the Rev. O. C. Gallenkanip, pastor of the 7-ion Evan gelical Lutheran church, was ar raigned before Magistrate Howe on a warrant Issued by the police depart ment, charging him with the violation of a city ordinance by allowing the sidewalk in front of his church to re main uncleaned for over 24 hours. The walk, It is alleged, had been piled up with snow since the big snowfall of Thursday. Mr. Gallankamp indignantly stated that his vocation lifts preaching and not cleaning sidewalks. When asked whose duty Jtf was to clean the side walk, he , replied It must he Belle- kanip's "Jimo Is he," asked the magistrate. "The grave digger," was the an swer. It stumped the magistrate, and he decided to make an Investigation. New Site For Church School. Lancaster, Jan. 22.

The number of Injured will lo.;;I at least 35. The cause of the disaster has not been fully explained. The result was terrible. The shock was felt for 30 miles, many believing ' It an earth quake. The entire train, Including the loco motive, was blown from the track, tne coaches were demolished, the en glne was hurled 50 feet and the pas sengers were either blown to pieces, some consumed by fire or rescued In an Injured condition. Another Wreck In Indiana. At least 16 persons were crushed or burned to death early on Saturday- near Fowler, Ind., In a collision be tween a freight train and the Cleve land, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis "Queen City Flyer," which left Chi cago Friday night.

Three Lake Liners Driven Aground A terrific gale which blew 90 miles an hour at times swept, Buffalo for 18 hours Sunday and has done Jl.500.000 damage to Bhl;,p:i:g. Five lare lake liners wintered just inside t'.ie breakwall were torn loose from their moorings and driven aground. They are believed to be rest ing on Boft bottom and unless the gale becomes worse will probably not suf fer more damage. For hours the gale swept the water front with unabated fury, tearing everything that stood In its path. Docks and wharves were wrecked and carried away. Craft broken from their moorings smashed against bridges do ing serious damage. Smokestacks and buildings of lighter construction were blown down like paper boxes, but no casualties have been discov ered. The water in Lake Erie rose three feet in as many minutes. The Inner breakwalls have been pounded until portions of them have been broken away. Railroads having tracks along the waterfronts are holding them down with strings of freight cars. Old lake men say this is the severest continued storm that has swept the lower lake in the last 20 years. Trial of Harry K. Thaw. The trial of Harry Kendall Thaw, heir to the famous Thaw millions of Pittsburg, began Monday In New York. He was formally presented, but as Judge Fitzgerald has another case to finish It Is probable that Wednesday will be the very earliest that the real work of the Thaw trial can begin. Thus far Thaw's persistent refusal to agree to a plea of Insanity and his curt dismissal of several of the best known lawyers of New York who had been engaged for his defense, have baffled his friends and relatives who had urged upon him the advisability of such a course." Intent upon being tried upon the merits of his case, no one except the prisoner, his intimate relations and his present counsel knows what the de fense will have to offer In justification of Thaw's undenled act. House Votes For Salary Raise.

After the house had adopted the pro vision for an Increase In the salaries of senators and members the bill was returned to the senate for action by it, but the senate went into executive ses sion without taking it up. 'Frisco School Suits Started. The foundation for the suit which will test the right of the local board of education or San Francisco to bar children of Japanese parentage from the public schools was laid when Keikichi Aoki, the 10-year-old son of a book-seller, demanded admittance to the Redding primary school and was refused permission to enter.
