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.

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

with several others from the county
jail at Lewlsburg. They are awaiting

The noise of the lock falling on the

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

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

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

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."
