POPE BENEDICT XV. i * mm ■ ifflßsi 9 • 1 a 3| ■Hre V n i *' 1:J B B The new pope, who was Cardinal Glacono della Chiesa. was created a cardinal on May 25. .1914. He is the archbishop of Bologna, Italy. He was bom at Pegli, in the diocese of Genes, on November 21, 1854, and was ordained a priest on December 21, 1878. He served as secretary to the nunciature in Spain from 1883 to 1 887. In which year he was appointed secretary to the late Cardinal Rampoila. He was appointed substitute sec retary of state in 1901 and in 1907 he was elected to the post of advisor to the holy office. In 1907 he was appointed papal nuncio at Madrid, in succession to Mgr. Rlnaldini, but this appointment was cancelled three days later. This incident had occurred just before he was made archbishop of bologna. When Mgr. della Chiesa was given this post it was declared in Rome that it was mainly with the object of combatting modern religious ideas, Bo logna being the headquarters of the National Democratic League, whose members advocated what. Is known as "modernism" in religion. IJUTHERAN Holy Communion—The Rev.

Prisoners in Union County Jail Attempt to Escape Special to The Telegraph Mifflinburg, Pa.. Sept. s.—Several prisoners in the county jail nearly escaped from tlie institution yesterday. John McGonigal, with alias, and at present styling himself McAllster, in tail with a number of his chums for the shooting of a fellow tramp, near AVest Milton, in n drunken scrap some time ago. attempted to make his getaway with several others from the county jail at Lewlsburg. They are awaiting trial next week. The prisoners had been allowed the freedom of the cor ridors for exercise by Sheriff John Mackenberff. McGonlsal pried a large hook from the Jail door at the entrance of the corridor and with this broke o«e of the large Yale locks on the door. The noise of the lock falling on the cement floor of the jnti was heard by a young son of Sheriff Hackenberg. who immedlatclv notified his father Hist in time to prevent the escape of the prisoners. The sheriff then lock ed each in a separate cell and a thorough search was made. In one of the cells he found an Iron pipe four feet long and an In'-h In diameter On one ehd of It was n large loint which he Immediately took possession of He 1= at a loss to know Just how it got there. DR. mm COMMENT TERSE Snys He Docs Not Want an Office if He Has to Spend For It More Than It Pays ERIE COUNTY IS SOLID Will Give Heavy Republican Ma jority This Fall; Crowds Greet the Candidates Special to The Tcleqrnpli Erie, 'Pa., Sept. s.—Erie county is groins to roll up a majority for the Re publican ticket this year that will make some of the old-time majorities look slim. The people are for return of the government at Washington to the Republicans and for the routing of the experimenters and plutocrats who arc seeking to secure control of the state government. Indications that this city would go heavily Republican have been growing for some time and yesterday Dr. Martin (5. Brumbaugh was greeted by an audience at the Erie County Fair and at his hotel in Corry that assured a tremendous vote in his favor. Dr. Brumbaugh is well known in Erie county. He has been here on numerous educational occasions and recently he spoke at Edinboro and gave the people an idea of what he was like. Yesterday the eastern end of the county turned out in force and carloads went from Erie to greet him. For the lirst time since he entered the campaign Dr. Brumbaugh took notice of the slurs cast upon him by his youthful Democratic opponent, but he did it in a well-bred way that was in sharp contrast to the scolding of Vance C. McCormick. There was no | challenge hurled upon the air, there was no scoring of personal character, not even mention of a name, just a plain statement by Dr. Brumbaugh that he did not want an office if he had to spend more to get it than the office paid in salary. It was a tre mendous hit with the audience and the sentiment was cheered and cheered. I)r. Brumbaugh's Spcccli Dr. Brumbaugh said, in part, during his address: "The Republican party had the freest and most open primary of any party. Its candidates were not dic tated, but chosen by the voters from among all those that submitted their names. I wrote my own platform. I stand for all that it contains. I shall continue to do so. I've given thirty six years to the educational work of my native State. I am a product of Its public school, its colleges and its universities. I've taught and directed every type of public education in Pennsylvania. I submit my record as my platform and my pledge. I shall not say or do a thing to get a vote that I will not say and do when Gov ernor of this great Commonwealth. "This is no time for petty men to foist their grievance upon a great people. Patronage and position may tfjmpt the weak to deceive and decoy. I have no quarrels with anyone. I have no apologies to make, no enemies to punish, no grievances to air. T submit that we can give to the people I of Pennsylvania in all branches of its government a sane, sensible and pro- I gressive administration of its affairs. | I pledge you that this shall be done. I I«et us not follow zanies, but let us unite In a great patriotic effort to do the best things for all our population. Schools n Great Issue "Our great school system needs such modification and adjustment as to train our youth not only to know what is good, but to do it. The school should give to every child reasonable guarantee of effective service in so ciety To the so-called liberal training should .be added training in a trade or vocation. We shall face increas- I ingly complex problems and unless ! our people are trained In a large way i to produce it will be increasingly diffl | cult to secure the necessary goods I they must consume. Unless we add ! more to the common weal than we ; take from It we retard civilization and are a burden and not a blessing to our i kind. My training and experience warrant me in saying that in this large field of public service I can jser\e the people of Pennsylvania ac The Church and Your Contentment f "No disease is worse To a sensible man Than not to be con ent with himself. * * Havamal. < —> Contentment is not alone a matter of having enough of this world's gocds. If we are truthful with ourselves we soon arrive at the conclusion that worldly contentment is too temporary to be worthy of our serious consideration— "tor what profiteth a man if he gain the whole yet lose his own soul? Contentment has to do with peace of mind, and peace of mind in the last analysis depends upon the attitude we hold toward the Saviour of the world. So you see the church can have much to do with your content ment. Always ready to give its message of divine hope; it only resolves itself into this question-will you accept the contentment that issues from following the path which the church points out ? Go to church if you wish with only the hope of finding temporary relief from the rush of life through a good discourse, or through good music. The church knows that hers is the message of contentment which will supply that which your life lacks. Through her message you will realize a better, fuller, deeper sense of the joys of life than you have before known. Go to Church To-morrow ! !

She is not | to be judged by the actions of the un- j worthy few who prey upon her for 1 their own sordid ends. At heart the I State is healthy and sincere.

Allentown Fair Opens Its Gates September 22-23-24-25 The flags will fly, hands play, stock ! and chickens swell the chorus of the thousand and one joy notes which go to make Allentown Fair the biggest land most popular Fair east of the Mls- J sissippi. From September 22 to 25, inclusive. ! | Allentown will occupy the whole joy j map. Under the new management tills | year the Fair will break all records. , Music, attractions, exhibits, i-ntrees. i I premiums and purses are larger than they have ever been. 1 To any one who has visited the Fair in recent years the prospect of a bigger and better Allentown Fair seems im- ! possible. I Agricultural reports show that the I Allentown Fair Is the largest In the i ] Fast, and with but one exception the I I large' In the United States. It pays Its ! stoc' holders no dividends, however; the profits each year are spent on Im- i | provements and on new and greater at- j i tractions. This Is why the Fair grows ] 1 bigger and better from year to year. This year more than $30,000 will be i awarded in premiums and purses among the 40,000 exhibitors and eon- I testants. New and unique exhibits I will tax every building to its utmost, i The cattle show in particular shows [ remarkable growth. The poultry show, which already ts the largest any- ; where will alone be worth going to see , But the horse racing at Allentown i Fair Is the hlg bet This Is because i the Allentown Fair track Is the fastest J half mile track in the world and be- | cause of the big purses and the equare | treatment given owners and drivers The list of entries this year Is very I large and Includes some of the stars I from the hlg circuit. l-'or their special accommodation the management has erected a $20,000 cool ing outslied. This will make the racing more attractive than ever. Every day opposite the grandstand an exhibition of sensational and death defying acts will be given by some of the most famous performing troupes in the world. Among these attractions will be I Poth's original Auto Polo, a real thril ler in the world of sport; and by spec ial arrangement a squad of boys from the Chester Military Academy will give !an exhibition of fancy riding seldom seen under ordinary auspices. In addition to this the world-famous Allentown Band will give a dally con cert in the grove. For the benefit of its guests the Al lentown Fair management always en deavors to seeure efficient transporta tion arrangements. This year everything has been done as heretofore to secure safety and com fort and speed. The Reading, Lehigh Valley and Jersey Central will run | special trips at reduced rates, as will the'Lehigh Valley Transit Company, I which will run limited trains from !

POWER COMPANY RIGHTS ARE UPHELD Public Service Commission Makes Ruling That Allows Classifi cation to Stand The right of a power company to classify Its customers without regard to its costs or methods of production is upheld by the Public Service Com mission in an opinion made puhlic to day. The case attracted much atten tion because of the wide effect, of thw complaint, which was made by James Thompson and M. A. Hanna & Co., against the Erie County Electric Com pany. The complainants set forth that the charges made against them were greater than those made against other persons and corporations for similar service. The commission rules that the com pany has a right to classify its cus tomers, saying in the opinion: "It hag long been recognized in the manufac ture of electricity that irregularity in the current demands of a customer re sults in the least desirable class of business owing to the necessity tor making provision for furnishing suffi cient service at the time of greatest requirements for same and then hav ing a greater or less portion of the power station equipment idle at other times, when the customer has no need of the full amount that provision has been made for. Another difficult ser vice to maintain is where the require ments are subject to sudden and re curring wide lluctations. In such cases unusual precautions and provisions are required at the generating station to prevent the variable demands of one customer, unless served from an in dividual generator affecting adversely the regularity of the voltage and cur rent furnished to all the other cus tomers." 3
