There is no American with soul so dead that the day we celebrate docs not awaken in him patriotic pride and a sense of per sonal responsibility. We may travel the mM over and admire in other countries a thousand things which we as a nation do not possess, but we come home with a grateful feeling that as a nation ws possess some which are not to be found else where. Xo other government on the foot stool offers its subjects or citizens the in centives, the opportunities and the gener ally inspiring environment which we enjoy. A century has changed republicanism from a doubtful experiment to a fact which jji | air i the deoUuy of governments every where. In the van of universal progress aiaulTnn, we C an gee that the irrepressible tendency in all countries is along the lines ef a larger distribution of political power. Daring the time of our national existence the complexion of every monarchy in limy and several of those of Asia has changed. The common people have as sorted themselves and the repressive influ ence of thrones and monarchies has been compelled to yield. Inch by inch the bat th has been fought, and in every instance the people have won. Constitutions have ■npplanted despotism and legislatures have baited the power of emperors. little mors than a hundred years ago His British Majesty, in the language of the Inaty, "acknowledges the said United States * * • to be sovereign aud inde pendent Statea, and treat* with them as iarh; and. for himself, his heirs and suc cessors, relinquishes all claims to the gov ernment, propriety and territoral rights of the same, and every part thereof." We then occupied simply a line of scacoast from Maine to Georgia. Soon afterward Lord Sheffield, in a book entitled, "Obser vations on the Commerce of the American States," declared that the West was prac tically valueless—a mere wilderness of waste land, which could never be reclaim ed. The Allegheny Mountains, he assert ed. were our natural boundary, and the settlers beyond "cannot become coin nercial" and would never increase, because there was no way to get their goods to a market. Since that prophecy we have poured ■ernes the mountains and occupied the con tinent to the Pacific. In 1803 we acquired the Province of Louisiana, stretching from the Golf of Mexico to the Pacific. In 1819 Spain ceded Florida, which finished our Atlantic coast line. In 1845 Texas was ■naexed. In 1848 Mexico ceded territory comprising Utah, apart of Arizona, Nevada and California, and in 1867 we purchased »'**« Snch rapid growth is unprecedent ed, and yet it has been natural and healthy. Oar equilibrium has not been disturbed by i ition We Lave absorbed millions from Europe, and they have added to our strength We all believe that republicanism dcvel opes the best qualities of the human char acter, and in the language of Holmes, "Ton couldn't pry that idea out of us if Fan had the tire of all creation straighten sd oat for a crowbar."

CosmtcnccT is waiting for its Governor to sign a bill providing for abolishing all grade crossings in the State. Each road is required to dispense with one crossing each year for every sixty miles of track. It is estimated that it will require 100 years to remove them all at this rate. The cost is estimated at an average of #17,000 for each crossing. Tn new Masonic Temple on Fifth Ave. pittshncg, was dedicated last Monday. The Cronln Murder. The Clan-na-Gael is a secret Irish society which seeks to promote the Irish cause by any means, however criminal. Dr. Cronin was a member of this society in Chicago, and by the freedom of his comments and censure upon its management had made himself very disagreeable to its managers. Sudenly. some weeks ago. Dr. Cronin dis appeared. and after much excitement and inquiry, his body was found in a sewer, and upon examination it was evident that he had been murdered. The coroner'sjjury, after hearing many witnesses, rendered a careful verdict, in which they say that the murder was evidently the result of a most foul and prutal conspiracy, that a number of persons were privy to it, and that certain of them, whom the jury name, should be held to answer to the Grand Jury. The jury conclude their verdict with a declaration to which every honorable American citizen will heartily respond, '•That in our judgment all secret societies whose objects are such as the evidence shows that of the Clon-na-Gael or United Brotherhood to bo are not in harmony with and are injurious to American institu tions. It is this system of secret conspiracies to commit crimes, under the pretext of libera ting Ireland, and the apparent indifference to snch conspiracies, if not connivance with them, which constantly check and alienate the sympathy of honest men with the Irish cause. Mr. Parnell's statement that he had deliberately liod to the House of Com mons in order to aid his purpose has un doubtedly been of great injury to Ireland among a people who are not secret con sprators even for a good cause. Whatever may be the faults of the English-speaking nations, they persue their objects, even when they are Revolutionary, openly and frankly. It was in the town meeting, with free public speech, not in a secret chamber with passwords and grips, that Sam Adams inspired the American revolution; and it was in the open field, under the recognized laws of war, not by assassinations and by wholesale crimes that involve men, woman and children in indiscriminate slaughter, that Washington and his soldiers fought for American independence. There is no excuse for soiling a great movement like that of local government for Ireland with the basest and most repulsive crimes. It is not enough for the leaders to disclaim such crimes. They should denounce and punish and prevent them. —Harpers Jf'cek h- Two well known citizens of this country were stricken with paralysis last week. They were Gen. Simon Cameron of this State, and Mrs. Lucy Hayes of Ohio wife of Ex-President Hayes. Mrs. Hayes died on Tuesday, and Gen. Cameron's death is expected any moment. The news of the death of Mrs. Hayes, will cause sincere sorrow all over the land, for she was res pected wherever true womanhood was ap preciated. As the mistress of the White House she baae herself with a dignity that honored the station and when the term of her husband ended, retired with him to their former home, followed by the sincere re spect of the nation. As wife, mother, the soldier's friend and helper in organized ef forts for the good of the race, she deserves to rank among the first of American women. Her age was 58 years. Gen. Cameron died at his country place near Mount Joy, Pa., Wednesday night, ne was born in Lancaster county, March 8, 1799, began life as a printer, and was afterwards editor, State printer, railroad president and U. S. Senator. The Fence Law? The pamphlet laws for the last session of the State Legislature will be out in a few days when we will publish the new fence law. At present nobody about But ler knows just how the matter stands. Since the above was put in type Senator Showalter informs us that the late Legis lature "did not pass a new fence law, sim ply repeaied the Act of 1700, so now every one must take care of his own stock." The Act of 1700 provided for a five-foot fence, and no damages for trespassing, but on the other hand damages for injuring stock if the fence was not there, and it seems to be the only law regarding the construction of fences on the books at present. But as it has been repealed, and as ths the Supreme Court has declared the local option law oflßßs unconstitutional,we can not see that there is any law regarding the construction of fences in force at present, and take it for granted that everybody owning stock must prevent it from tres passing on his neighbor's property. TH B coils are tightening around Martin Burke, now in jail at Winnipeg for alleged complicity in the Cronin tragedy. The authorities assert that his connection with the crime will be shown beyond the shadow of doubt. One of his companions was ar rested last evening, and the police liuvo a clew to the other suspect, Cooney. A new witness has volunteered important testi mony. THF. newspapers refuse to let the Bishop family go. After the mind reader's death the facts surrounding the autopsy were dwelt upon with all the hideousness they were capable of, and now the family closet is being overhauled and the Bishop family skeleton is being dangled before the eyes of the public. It appears that the mind reader was divorced in New York and for bidden to remarry in that State. All the same he went to Minhcsota and was mar ried, and now his mother denies the right of the widow to any of Bishop's estate on the ground that the marriage was not legal. Besides showing the Bishop family skele ton, this shows tho eccentricities of our divorce laws. Little Rhody Goes Wet. The people of Rhode Island voted last Thursday to repeal the Prohibitory Amend ment to their Constitution which was adopted three years ago. Tho vote then was: For the amendment, 15.113; against, 9,230, a three-fifths major ity being required. Since then the Prohib itory law has been practically a dead let ter, saloons being carried on without re straint, except in rare instances, when the liquor was seized by the law officers and poured out on the streets. Public opinion was so clearly against tho enforcement of tho Amendment that a demand for its re peal grew up, and the Legislature at its last session complied with this demand by submitting to the people the question whether the Prohibitory clause in the Con stitution should bo repealed or not. Owing to the enlargement of the voting popula tion, resulting from the r> cent new Suffrage law, the vote is much larger than when the subject nyis last voted ou. The vote of Thursday was, For Repeal. 28,498; against repeal, 9.853; the Amend ment is therefore repealed by much more than the three-fifths vote required. THE murderer of Dr. Cronin of Chicago, was found and identified iu a lumber camp Iu Winnipeg last week. The expressman who hauled some goods for the gang in Chicago,picked him out of a row of fifty-two men. 189,020. PHILADELPHIA, PA., June 20.—Official returns have been received from every county in fho State except Armstrong and Greene. From these counties careful esti mates arc given on the prohibition amend ment. The majority is 185,173. The official returns from Armstrong county, received later, show a majority against of 153, mak ing the total majority 186,050. Two Hangings in Penn'a. PHIL'A., Pa., June 25.—Mrs. Sarah Jane Whiteling was hanged this morniug in tho corridor of the county prison. The drop fell at 10:07 o'clock, and the body was lowered and removed at 10:41. The wo man's bearing throughout the terrible or deal was a most remarkable exhibition of fortitude and resignation to her fate. Dur ing the entire morning she never for a mo ment showed the slightest evidenee of weakness, and frequently expressed her pleasure at the prospect of ' meeting her husband and children." The several phys icians who were present at the execution, and who have more or less frequently been with the condemned woman since her in carceration, expressed surprise at the wo man's exhibition of calmness in meeting her death, although they agreed in the statement that she has at no time showed any evidence whatever of an unsound mind. The crime for which Mrs. Whiteling suf fered the extreme penalty of the law was the deliberate poisoning of her husband and two children with arsenic for the pur pose of securing the small insurance which she carried on each of their lives. The Whiteling family 7 consisted of John hite ling, the husband and lather, aged 35 years; Bertha, 9 years old; Willie, nearly 3, and Sarah J. Whiteling, the murderess, who was two years older than her husband. The husband died on March 20, 1888, and the doctor who attended him gave certifi cate of death from inflammation of the bowels. On the 14th of April Bertha died, and the same doctor certilied that she died of gastric fever. Willie died May 2b, as was supposed at the time, of congestion of the bowels. Dr- Smith, who had attended the two previous casos, refused to take charge of Willie's case and another doctor was called in. i After the third death Dr. Smith's suspie | ions were aroused that all was not right. | and he communicated his suspicions to the Coroner, who ordered that the bodies be j exhumed. An analysis ol the parts show i ed the presence of enough arsenic to cause I death. The Coroner summoned Mrs. | Whiteling before him and charged her with killing her husband and two children. Af ter some hesitation the woman admitted that she had poisoned her children, but claimed that her husband took his own life. MRS. WHITELING of Phii'a., was the first woman hanged in that city, and the eighth hung in the State. The names of the oth ers were:— Elizabeth Rimby, Chester county. Sep tember 3, 1806. ElizaMcore, York county, April 21, 1809. Charlotte Jones, Allegheny county, Feb ruary 12, ISSB. Mary Twiggs, Montour countj T . October 22, 1858. Catharine Miller, Lycoming county, Fe bruary 3, 1861. Martha Gundy, Allegheny county, Jan uary 10, 1866. Lena Miller,Clearfield county, November 13, 1867. WILKESBAKRK, PA., June 25.—Michael Rizzelo, alias lied-Miko, was hanged iu the jail-yard here this morning. His last night on earth was spent iu prayer, lie refused to partake of breakfast, taking only a cup of milk, ind saying to the Snoriff that he was ready, and to hurry his work without any delay, as he was prepared to die. He was courageous to the very last moment, walking to the scaffold accompanied by Rev. Father O'llaran of this city; Father Chorisco of Scranton, and Fathers Dunn and Chorist, of Plains. Before leaving his cell Hangman Atkinson, of Xew York, ad justed the short noose about liizzelo's neck and placed the black cap upon his head. On being led under the hanging rope from which hangled the hook a few prayers were offered by the priests. Atkinson then stepped quickly in front of the murderer and unbuttoned his loose coat, lifted the loop over his head. A signal with uplifted hand was given to the hangman's assistant, who brought a sharp ax down upon the slender rope supporting the 400-pound weight, and at 10:10 a. m. he was swaying to and fro in the air. Several convulsive movements were the only signs of life, though he died very hard. At 11 o'clock he was pronouueed dead by the prison physician. The remains were cut down and placed iu a coffin. Examination by the physicians showed that the neck was not broken, and death resulted from strangulation, llis body was then taken by the undertaker And removed to the Catholic cemetery for burial. The crime for which Michael Rizello, alias Red-Nosed Mike, to-day, paid the death penalty was committed iu the fore noon of October 19, 1888. J. Brainard Mc- Clure, paymaster for contractor Charles MeFadden, was accompanied by Hugh Flanagan, the stable boss, and was driving from Wilkesbarre to the railroad camp above Miller's mills with $12,000 intended to pay oil' the workmen on the completed job. Michael Rizello, Giuseppi lievireuo and Yincenzo Yellali lay in wait on the lonely mountain road, cxpectiil£ the arriv al of McClure and Flannagan. On their approach Rizello stepped out and fired five shots into Flanagan, either shot shot doing deadly 7 work. The frightened horse started to run away, and proceeded some little distance, when Revircno with a rifle shot McClure in the back twice, kill ing him instantly. The horse continued its flight until Vellali, who was ambushed further up the road, stepped out and shot it. The other Italians then arrived on the spot, cut loose the valise containing the money and fled through the forest to Mike's cabin three miles away, where the money and guns were concealed. Al though Mike and his companions were sus pected and arrested they were discharged, and soon after left the city,going to Pough kcepsie, taking with them their plunder, $12,000. A few weeks later Mike's companions took passage on a steamer for Italy, link er! ous permitting them to leave with the money unmolested, though Mike was still kept under surveillance. Later evidence was procured by detectives which fright ened Mike into a full confession on Janu ary 5, 1889. On February 7 Mike was brught to trial, and after four days of dra matic excitement in court he was found guilty. Though entirely without money or friends he was ably defended by leading members of the Luzerne Bar.

Look out for terrific tales from Minne sota and Dakota. Reynard on the Rampage. People of Harlansbtug were treated to a novel sight Thursday, when a fox, whiclf had been chained in the yard at the Rus sell house, freed himself and started out on a foraging expedition. Entering a neigh boring yard, Reynard, witli little cere mony. snapped the heads from three chick ens. He then ran into the Main street of the village where he espied a five-year-old child of Merchant Jordon at play. In an instant he was upon the child, and before the score or more of spectators could real ize the situation the little one's face, arms and legs were fearfully torn by the sharp teeth of the fox which continued its vicious attack until killed by Thomas Russell. The child is rapidly recovering from its in juries.—Xew Castle Xeiat. AT the Ohio Republican Convention, at Colunbus. Wednesday, Governor Foraker was re-nominated for a third term. A Birthday Party in Bruin. On Friday of last week from three to four hundred people'gathered at the resi dence of Mr. H. M. Caldwell in Bruin to celebrate Mrs. Caldwell s birthday. The ladies of the town had Mr. Caldwell take his wife out to the country on that morn ing so they could make it a complete sur prise. On their return they found both the house and Mr. Harry Gibson full aud running over on account of the raiu that came on at noon. When Mr. and Mrs. C drove up to the house Mrs. C. says, "Har rv. what does this all mean, something wrong? Harry replied: "Xothing, Nat, it : ntust be a pic-nic and they have been com- ing in out of the rain." After quiet was restored and the rain • over the tables were spread on the lawn, J where the large circle of friends partook of the good things that were set before them. Rev. Small of Petrolia. sang "Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Rev. Kerns of West Moniteau asked God to bless the meal now about to be partaken of, and the Bruin brass band entertained the mul titude while eating with some of their fine selections. Dinner being over. Mrs. Lizzie Pershing Anderson, principal of the School of Elocution in Allegheny City and Miss Lillie Heincr of Bruin, favored us with some very line recitations. Mr. W. C. Black was chosen chairman. Regrets troin a number of ministers and friends, Rev. McKalhp of Beaver, Pa., a brother of Mrs. Caldwell, Revs Mills, Haz lctt, Boyd, Wright and others were read. Rev. Small being called away unexpect edly Rev. Kernis was called upon and made a fine address on behalf of the lriends of Mrs. Caldwell, and presented her with a handsome parlor mirror and several other nice presents. The response was made by Prof. Will Gibson. Dr. Dennison was then called upon aud in his usual genial manner made some very fitting remarks; others were called upon and responded, aud an artist was on hand who took Wo views of the party. More music followed and theu all wout home fueling that it was good for all to have been there H. Birthday Party in Middlesex Township. A very pleasant gathering of the friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Flick took place at their residence in Middlesex Tp. on the 18th inst. They met for the purpose of celebrating the 58th birthday of Mrs. Flick. Mrs. Flick is afflicted with almost entire deafness, but none the less worthy of the honor conferred upon her on that account. She is an estimable lady and is so regarded by all who are acquainted with her. It was a delightful occasion, enjoyed by her friends to the number of forty or up wards. All present thought it was a real pleasure to be there. After a short season of social enjoyment diuuer was announced. The table was set in Mr. Flick's new barn, which being well fitted for the occa sion. presented, with the long table loaded with a great variety of good things, a cleanly and inviting appearance. To the barn, then, we all repaired; and soon the tabic was surrounded with delighted guests. All partook with delighted eyes and eager appetites. It was a sumptuous feast got up in the good style of the Middlesex ladies. All at. the table having partaken to their entire satisfaction, place was given to new recruits who, in their turn, soon sur rounded the table, and did like ample jus tice to the eatables thereon with those who were first at the feast. All being now well feasted, the people wore called together, and remarks were called for. The call was responded to by Rev. E. Ogden, William Trimble, Esq. and others, so we enjoyed a feast of the mind as well as of the body. Prayer was offered by Rev. 10. Ogden, and all the voters pres ent who had not been to the election be fore coming to tho feast adjourned to the polls to vote for the Amendment. 0. Sunbury Academy Commence ment. On class night, Juno 17th, a large num ber of people collected at Academy Hall to witness the exercises of the evening, which were very well delivered and were both in teresting and instructive. June 10 was the date of the Irv ing Ex celsior contest which resulted as follows: Essay—Miss Jennie Stewart being the suc cessful competitor gave a very fine essay on "The two sides of the shield." The debate was only on the affirmative side by Mr. Howard Painter, as his oppo nent. Mr. George Timblin took sick after coming on the stage and had to be taken home. The prize for the best ovation was con tested for by Elry Caldwell and W. Campbell and resulted in a victory tor Mr. Campbell who spoke of ••John Brown." The declamation contost was between Misses Minnie McCaudless and Eva Coulter and ended iu a tie on decision. The judges were Rev. Patterson, Rev. Hayes and Judge McMichael. The commencement exercises took place on .7 une 30. The performances were all of the highest order, and all of the performers deserve great credit for the manner that they delivered their performances. The salutatory was given by Miss Rose Marshall. The oration of J. Gill Allison on the subject of "Gain or Loss" was one of the finest that could be expected; "America's Mission" was well given by Win. A. Brown; Wilber Campbell gave an oration ou ••Our Debt to Europe"; Miss Bella MeElvain gave an oration on "Drift wood," which was one of the finest that we have listened to. The subject "A field for Philanthropy" was fully discussed by Win. B. Campbell, who spoke of the progress of the negro aud their power, aud the education of both the whites and negroes. 11. L. Graliaiu gave au oration 011 "Daniel as a statesman"; John 11. Jack give an oration 011 "Calvin and his Institutions" and ho being the junior member of the class deserves great credit for the able manner in which he handled his subject; Chas. P. Marshall's subject was "There are no Alps" and lie asserted that our progress was due only to our own efforts; "The Dawning of Civilization" was by I). L. Me- Xees, who gave one of the finest orations of the day and who should have great credit for the effort that he has put forth in securing his education; the oration "Behold the Man" by Sadie Marshall was one that deserves much credit. The valedictory was given by M. 1). MeClellitud. The class presented Miss Coulter with a book of poems, Rev. Wright with a Bible and Prof. McGranahan with a gold chain, and that morning the school presented Prof. McGranahan with a gold watch. The alumni exercises consisted of an oration, art exhibition, an original poem and a play entitled "Enlisted for the War" a drama in two acts, which was well re ceived and if such plays as that would be encouraged it would be much better for the community at large. The music was furnished by the Butler Germauia orchestra. T. A REM ARK ABLE story comes from Postb. the Hungarian capital, that a boy in one of the schools has confessed to his father that he has for some time past taken money from the till in his shop, being or derod to do so by a man who had made him the sub ject ot experiments in hypnotism. The father went to the school authorities and it was discovered that a whole class of boys was in a similar plight. They acted as "mediums," and by a process known as "suggestion" were made to steal money from'their parents and bring it to the ardent scientist in question. Commencement at Nth. Wash ington. The first commencement exorcises of the North Washington Academy were held la-t week. Rev. Moore. D.D.. delivered the Baccalaureate sermon, a powerful exposi- j tion of the question •■What is man?" On Friday evening the closing exercises were held in the Lutheran church, the rostrum was banked with flowers and ferns and gracefully festooned with evergreens,show ing that the floral treasures of the thrifty dames of the village as well as of Dame Nature had been severely taxed to make a scene, the beauty and redolence of which delighted the senses of the expectant au dience. The exercises were of the most interesting character, reflecting credit not , f alone upon the performers bat upon the ! zeal and earnestness that has characterized the "work of Prof. Sorrick. The Academy ha.s completed one of the prosperous years of its existence with a bright outlook for future greatness. A number of students have entered the regular classes aud indi cated their intention of completing the course, which is unsurpassed in this line of work.

In 1891 licenses are likely to be granted to those only who will agree to the following conditions: Ist. To provide chairs and tables for the use of customers at which they will be served. 2nd. To use stamped measures, stamp ed at an office provided by the State, gill, half pint, pint, quart, etc. 3rd. In every case the full measure ask ed for must be served; if in beer, it must be a full measure of solid boer, and not froth. 4th. Officers appointed by the State will demand a sample of beer, whiskey, wine or other drink on sale, for the pur pose of analysis. Any of these found to be not up the requirements of the law, will in volve the penalty, *. e. loss of license, fine and imprisonment as prescribed by said law. MEMOHANDUM. It is understood that tho requirements for beer, ale or porter will be: That it shall be manufactured from malt and hops en tirely. The presence of any other bitter than hops, or malt other than barley, or of any other other ingredients than malted barley and hops, will cancel tho license and involve the additional penalty. The use of malted barley for whisky and nothing else will be imperative. This will nearly eliminate the Fusel Oil so largely found in whisky made from rye or other raw grain. Cronin a British Spy. CHICAGO, Juno 24. —To.night's sensation in the Cronin case is a circumstantial report that the authorities have information show ing that a committee of Camp 20 of the Clan-na-Gael, alter a formal trial, found Cronin guilty of being a British spy. The charge was that Cronin under the guise of endeavoring to expose alleged malfeas ance of AlexauderSullivan, Michael Boland and Denis Feely, was in reality attemp ting to bring about a public investigation of the work and the accounts of the Order for the information of the British Govern ment, and the London Times Commission. It was shown that the exposure of the workings of the Order which would be necessary in order to refute Cronin's charg es would furnish to the Loudon Time* all the information which it had despaired of obtaining by the appointment of a Govern ment sub-commission in America. Chief Ilabbarft aud States' Attorney Longenecker neither explicitly affirm or de ny the reports. THE New York I'ress thus sums up the result of the Samoan conference as highly creditable to our diplomats. It calls at tention to the fact that a year ago the question was of the annexation of the Samoan Islands by Germany. The Ger mans had all but taken possession of them. They had deposed the legitimate king, and carried hi in a prisoner to a distant island, and thei: had set up a puppet of their own in his place. To-day there is not a whis per of the possibility of a German annexa tion of Samoa. Not only that, Malietoa, the true king, is to be restored. Tamasese is to be sent back into his original power lessuess. The Sainoans are no doubt guaranteed their national autonomy. They are to be protected from being gobbled up by Germany or any other power. The rights of each of the three countries—Ger many, England and the United States— are to bo equally sustained, and all the minor disputes which have arisen con cerning the indemnity, the land question and the coaling stations have been settled by the consent of the contracting par ties. JOUNSTOWN seems about to be restored though the process will be a novel one for a community so long established The town has heretofore consisted of an assem blage of independent boroughs. To restore the streets, resurvey land lines, provide sewers and do other similar work under the old system Would be all but impossible, and it is therefore proposed to obtain a city charter covering the whole area. All this will take time, and until it is accom plished 110 permanent improvements can bo made. It is therefore proposed to erect temporary shelters in which the merchants can re-open their stores and set business in operation once more. The growth of the place will therefore be like some of the western tailroad towns, which spring up in a week, in most temporary fashion, then are transformed into substantial cities. TUB Samoan treaty having been complet ed it remains for the commissioners to re turn to their stations as private citizens, covered with well earned honor. The fact Ciat the United States had no selfish pur pose to serve makes the achievement all the more satisfactory, providing as it does for the welfare of the Islanders who looked to us fiu' protection and comfort. The probabilities seem to point to one member of the Commission, William Walter Phelps, a3 likely to remain in Germany as our rep resentative. IT N estimated that three-fourths of the woman of leisure of New York and Brook lyn are interested in mind enre. Christian science of faith healing. The number of teachers in both cities is phenomenally large, and all have full classes. The pu pils arc invariably wo man. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. A porcupine was latelj - killed at LaufCl Hill, Westmoreland Co., that had quills four inches long and a paw as big as a boy's hand. Armonr £ Co.. of Chicago have located a wareroom at Beaver Falls. New Castle is having a boom in tape worms and Titugvillc is terribly excited about the location of a new school house. It would seem rather lar to ship building stone, but dressed stone ready for placing in a new Y. M. C. A. building at Charles ton, South Carolina, are being quarried and shipped from about midway between Sharon and Xew Castle by a "Warren firm, who have the contract. Mrs. Miriam Gullinger of Mercer has been an invalid for forty years, and has not been out of nod for nearly or quite thirty years. This seems like a loirg a long time to be helpless, and unless the old lady lias sources of comfort to which most of us are strangers, tbe question seems pertinent, ''ls life worth living? - ' Alexander Recke died of blood poison ing at Homeopathic Hospital in Pittsburg. This is the man who stood up in the Johns town debris for two days with a spike driv en into his leg, and entirely without sus tenance. A resident of South Williamsport, Pa., who had put his two pigs in his parlor to shield them from the flood, soon after missed them, and concluded they had got out and drowned. At bedtime, on going up to his room, he found the'two stowed in hisbed, and fast asleep. The ease of Mrs. Ellen A. Jones, of Xew Brighton, vs. the Pittsburgh and Western Railroad Company, for the killing of her husband at Foxburg, Clarion county, in July, 1887. was tried before Judge Wick ham in Beaver Co., last week, and a ver dict given Mrs. Jones by the jury of $7.- 000. „ A posse of United States officers raided an illicit distillery located in Wild Cat Hollow, not far from Stoneboro in Mercer Co., but the moonshiuers had scented dan ger and were not to be found. It is said the thickets and ravines in that part of Mercer county contain numerous illicit whisky mills. Indiana county will lose about $50,000 in county bridges which were swept away by the recent flood, in the Conemaugh river which forms the southern boundary of the county. There were a large number of bridges most of which are goue. A Clarion correspondent says the Ever hart murder case will come up again in the Clarion Court in August, and that several more arrests for the commission of the crime will soon be made. Mrs. A. L. Martin, of Little Beaver twp., Lawrence county, recently discovered a needle protruding from one of her lower limbs and succeeded in removing it from the flesh. Thirty-eight years ago, while a little girl, she was playing with her dolls and had a needle in her mouth. An older person coming into the room playfully picked her up and laid her in the open drawer of a buroau, causing her to swallow the needle.- This circumstance had been forgotten, but was recalled to her mind by the reappearance of the needle. In its de vious wanderings the little piece of steel had caused many unpleasant symptons, from which medical skill failed to relieve her. A three-weeks old Johnstown child, un named at the time the flood occurred, has been christened May "Wreck. The little thing had a narrow escapo from death, but that is no reason why it should be burden ed all through life with such a name. John B. Moore, of Brookville, Pa., who landed in Guthrie, Oklahoma, on April 22 with but 15 cents,now holds an SBOO claim, owns the only opera house in Oklahoma, and is "exhibiting more Indians than any other white man living." Berks county is aflieted by a swarm of red locusts that make a clean sweep of all vegetation wherever they alight. Horses and cattle are terrified by their numbers and even the steady going country folks are a bit rattled. A colored man was kicked by. a lioi se at Sandy Lake about ten days ago and his skull so crushed that considerable brain oozed out. Dr. Coley removed two pieces of the skull and felt sure the young man would not live more than half an hour, or an hour at most. Dr. Glebner, who saw him, was of the same opinion. Contrary to experience, the fellow didn't die, and was out washing buggies, as usual, this week. His case is an extremely rare one. Medical works give examples of a similar nature, but they do not come under the observation of one physician in a thousand. l'rcss. Simon Cameron's Rule of Life. Simon Cameron is dying. For more than two generations this strong willed and sa gacious son of Pennsylvania loomed up like a granite cliff in politics. There was a time when his will was law in that Com monwealth. But long > ago the veteran leader vanished from the field of active life, and has enjoyed his green old ago in seclusion. Mr. Cameron's secret of success was that he never acted without knowing all the facts obtainable. Although a desperate and shrewd fighter he seldom wasted his efforts in support of weak men. Here is his own explanation: ""When I found the man who was pretty sure to win with the little support I could give him he was made the Cameron candi date. 1 got all the credit for the victory, and the candidate himself belived that his success was entirely attributable to inc." This was a rule adopted by a strong man, one of the strongest America has looked upon. How many of the present chieftains base their lives upon that principle?—X. Y. Herald. THE worst case of base ingratitude known in recent times happened near Reading, recently. A Polander in bathing was taken with cramps and cried for help. A railroad employe near at hand threw off his clothes and plunged in to his rescue. Thougfi unsuccessful in saving the man's life, he, at great risk, managed to bring the dead body ashore. Arriving there, he discovered that his own clothing had been robbed of a sum of money, by the dead man's sister, who had been attracted to the spot by the cries of distress, but lent no aid. TIIKBH are some advertisements which we are very glad to print for nothing, with a request to our contemporaries to copy. For example, this one, taken from a Dakota newspaper:— If John Jones, who twenty years ago de serted his poor wife and babe, will return, sail babe will liek the stuffin' out of him. ONE of the best-known drunkards and bar room loungers of Philadelphia is dead lie was a goat named "Billy," or rather he was was half goat and half deer. He has not drawn a sober breath for the last seven years, with the exception of two months, when he was laid up with a bro ken leg. caused by a champagne spree. He frequented all the liquor shops of Nicetown and was always invited to have something with the other boys. TIIE Republican State Convention has been called to meet at the Opera House in llarrisburg, on Wednesday, Aug. 7th. The proceedings will probably bo interesting and important. *AKIH c POWDER Absolutely Pure. This Powder hever varied. A marvel of purity, > strength and wholegouieuess.
