sorted.to t transfer the franchises of one corpora

method Is at of leasing for a long period of
years, the let guaranteeing to the lessor a stated
and fixed an al corupeneatlon. By tills method
the rights of t stockholders at least are respected,
If the general üblle Is subjected to the illelatinn
of a crushing, finding monopoly. Another way
Is to transfer t franchises to another Company
without a fixe; r definite compensation and with
nut regard to t Interests of the stockholders or
the general put !. This could be accomplished
by the compens 'on for such transfer being based
upon the net pr sof the corporation transferred,
a part of which ly would belong to the original

BE.tha AND DEEtt.—Two boys report seeing
a bear and n deer on the mountain near Seegers
ville on Monday last. The boys were somewhat
alarmed nt what they saw, and when they got re-
Inforeements, the animals were not to be seen.
Possibly this'was the same deer which was seen
and unsuccessfully hunted for at Saegersville some
time ago. Hunters should gird on their armor
and try' and bring down this game.'
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—Jonathan Long,- re
eldlug on the Philadelphia road about two miles
from this city, In Salisbury township, met with a
acclaim accident on Tuesday. lie had cut down a
tree which In falling leaned against another tree,
and while cutting down the latter the first tree fell

their spiritual wel faro.

The Memorial Church," which Las been

about $3,000, most of which bus already been
raised. The lot on which the bnildlngstands was
given by the Thomas Iron Company, and the
Company also gave a lot for a cemetery.
'fm; ITAns.—The studeutß of Muldenberg
College who stay out late at ‘ nights have been In
the . habit of effecting au entrance over a porch
and through au upper story window. To prevent
the continuing of this practice the faculty caused
a heavy iron (mac to be made and put up to ef
fectually bar the window. The students objected
to this, and the [Alter night a party took the iron
frame down and carried It to the Jordan creek.
A policeman, in the COlll,, of his rounds, discov
ered It and took It before the Mayor, who com
mitted It to the College.
ACO DENT. —George Hartzell, employed by
eR9r9. Steitz & Heebner to draw coal, met
with an accident Saturday afternoon which
resulted in instantly killing one of his horses
and so badly injuring the other as to necessi
tate killing him. Mr. Hartzell had unloaded
a load of kindling wood in the rear of John
Schall's premises on the bank of the Jordan
Creek, and in endeavoring to turn his team
around the WIICOII went down the embank
ment. The wagon's course was soon stopped
by coining in contact with a tree, but the
horses rolled down to the creek. Mr. Hart•
cell himself escaped without injury.
A Goon MOVE.—The people connected with
the Brainard Presbyterian church and society at
Euston have lately sent two well filled boxes to
missionaries at the West. The aggregate value
if the clothiug and cash in these boxes was about
500. This Is a good thing to do, and every reit
lous society in this city and county ought to
knulfest a little of this practical Christian beam*.
• nee. The missionaries on the frontier need fcod
an. clothing, and they ought to be generously re
me übered. Aud In this connection it is worthy
of eclat remark that the first women to cross the
Ro4ky Mountains were the wives of two mission
aries, Mrs. Whitman and Mrs. Spalding. These
heroic women and their husbands saved Oregon
and California to the United States by practically
demonstrating that families could cross the Rocky
3iountains where it had long been held that only
the strongest men could go.
A NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT.—Saute of our
exchanges report "neck-tie parties" as a new
species of entertainment for the whiter evenings,
and we give the DIM 1.1". operand' for the benefit of
those of our renders who may be anxious for
something new in the entertainment line. Every
lady, upon (altering the door, Is required to give
the doorkeeper an envelope containing a neck-tie
made of the smile material as the dress she wears
that evening ; to be made in any conceivable
shape, and trimmed as she chooses: Every gen
tleman pays fifteen emits at the door and receives
a check for n neck-tie, and afterwards the neck
ties are distributed to eheck-holders. After re
ceiving his new article cf dress, each gentleman
commences n search for the Indy whose dress
corresponds with it, for the "rules of tile game"
are that he must wait upon that lady during the
evening.

The announcement that Rev. Mr. Fobs of the
English Lutheran church would preach to the
members of the- Lehigh County Bar on Sunday
evening was sufficient to till every seat in the Court
Ilouse• Mr. Fahs took for lie text the denuncia
tion of the lawyers of olden time by our Savior,
and made it the basis of an earnest and urgent
presentation of the personal religious responsibil
ity of the members of the legal profession. Ile
said that he did not preach to lawyers because he
considered them worse than every other class of
people in the community, but because he had great'
respect for them and for their profession, and be
cause be wanted to see them all making tile fullest
possible use of the opportunities afforded them by
their education and by their responsible position
In the community. Their position was one of Im

fered mediation of Christ. Re hoped they would
all (become like Joseph of Arintathea, who was
"a counsellor of the Jews, a good plan and Just,

was eminently a practical one, and it was listened
to with the closest attention. Mr. Falls made
grateful recognition of the kindness which had
fornished the Court House for the use of the Eng

311 SS EIIUA RTON'S 1.E(71-Rf-
Miss Lillian It. Edgarten's lecture at the Court
House, lust Thursday evening, was attended by a
large audience. tier subject was " Whither ace
we Drifting?", and her lecture was a plea for the
preservation of the sanctity of the marriage rela
tion. Her manner was pleasing and her eloquence
powerful and Impressive. Without toe affectation
of Olive Logan, her style of delivery somewhat
resembled the staginess of that lady and impressed
the audience with a desire to see her in a powerful
character on the theatrical boards. She was
-dressed handsomely and neatly, in green velvet
trimmed with point applique lace, and her beauty
was tho subject of much admiration.
After Introducing her lecture in some general
preliminary remarks relating to her subject, she
divided her lecture into several parts under their
respective beads. She sPoke, first, of polyandrY m
and then of marriage as -it was in the good oid
Bible Dines, when Solomon, In his immodesty, was
content with at few hundred wives, and de•eribed
the miseries of the victims of polygamy, for In
those days marriage was hot a mutter of Owlet.
with women, but as they were debarred from fol
lowing any pursuit whieh would feed and clothe
them, they were compelled to accept either mar
riage or starvation. Then followed monogamy,
but in its earlier stages the evils engendered by
polygamy were still 11111erittli, and the daughters
of Veen were brought up in the ,belief that they
were the Inferiors of men, and that wives were
the mealals of their husbands. She believed that
had the principle prevailed In early history that
wives were the equals socially of their husbands,
the world would be further advaneed to-day In
science and morals than it will be for main• long
years to come.
The lecturer considered the subject at divorce
with all Its :menden( evil consequenves, and re
ferred in bitter terms to the Legislature of Con
necticut, which granted a divorce in a ease where
the wife became insane at the birth of the part ice'
first child, anti there was only one Ineinher man
enough to oppose this legalization of polygamy.
Governor English lied saiationed the proceeding
by signing the bill. She understood be was now
a candidate for U. S. Senator, but she hoped the
Legislature would tell the Governor that 11, , had
earned honor enough when he :tithed his n a mely
(lily hill, and they would vote for the other Mali.
She advocated making marriage and divorce laws
'subject to the control or comxre,,, m, that they
would be uniform throughout the iSnottry. This .
would prevent persons entering, lightly Into the
marriage state. beeause,if an Incompatibility were
afterwards discovered, a Journey to Indiana and
a fee of fifty dollars could not then untic the knot.
Divorces procured for the purpose of remarrying
were practically, and in the sight of God,another
form of polygamy. The impossibility'of getting
divorred would secure better and more harmoni
ous marriages, for they would then be entered
into with greater care, and If a couple blindly
made a bad choice they should not be absolved
front their obligations to each other to make an
other attempt, which might prove equally unsue
cessful and equally unhappy.
She wanted such Justice for woman that triam
she aided In earning half the savings of the fam
ily, she should have her slum, and at the death
of the husband should have possession of It In her
own name, instead of only a life interest. In the
case of a woman who went out to work for the
maintenance of herself and little ones, and upon
returning limns In the evening met the terrors of
a drunken husband, who had lain mound the
dram shop all day drunk, she contended that the
commuulty was disgraced where that woman was
not protected from the sponging and abuse, of such
a brute. She deprecated paying less wages to
women than to men for the same work. Wages
' and work should bear the same relation to each
other without regard to sex.
While pleading for Justice to women, she was
not unmindful of the shortcomings of a large por
tion of her sex. The millionaire husbands and
fathers forbid their wires and daughters doing
any kind of work under pain of incurring their
displeasure. Women and girls in less affluent
circumstances see this slate of affairs and are,
in too many eases, ashamed to acknowledge their
ability to perform thp household duties of wives.
Kid gloves and' white hands are the source of
much of the domestic evil of the present day.
She believed that girls should he educated lu some
trade or profession that would enable them to
support themselves and prevent the necessity of
marrying for'a livelihood.
• As to Miss Edgartoa'o 111111111dICIS that we are
rapidly drifting Into a Mate of social license
dislike to believe that such Is the ease generally.
It may be so In some cases, but we certainly know
a great many people who live happily in the state
of monogamy, and have no desire for either poly
audry, polygamy, or divorce. The general sent!, '
ment of the better class of both men and women
Is certainly In favor of the_strictest obserance of
the sanctity of the marriage relation, and we have
more faith in the reforming power of publleSentl
meat In a mutter of this kind than in law. No
amount of legislation can !mike a man and
vro
man who are unhappily mated live happily to
gether, and where U. marriage 19 rightly entered
upon legislation to keep them logellicr Is entirely
superfluous. There Is' too much loose and flip ;
pant wilt about marriage and divorce, and the
hest preventive of divorce will be Increased cau
tion and care In regard to the.selection of life
partners. A business partnership can he easily
sundered, but when marriage Is brought down, es
some of the so-called " reformers" of the day de
sire, to a lecei with business partnerships, the
'whole foundation of Christion society will be un
dermined. If we drift to that rosnit we are lost;
but we need not drift there, and we shall not

A THIRD REASON why T. C. Kernnhen, of
