WILLIAM C. NEC
■"VHCRSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1897.
Republican County Ticket.
FOR JURY COMMISSIONER,
A. O. Ebekhakt.
HARKISBURG.
On Thursday last Gov. Hastings ve
toed quite a number of fake expense
accounts."
Excessive charges made by the ste
nographers of investigating committees
and items for "car fare, sleeping iH-rths.
telegraph and telephone service, etc..
were blotted out wherever they appear
ed.
In his veto he wades into the personal
accounts of thedegislators who investi
gated the destitute condition of the an
thracite miners: Chairman \N B Mer
edith. of Kittanning. for car fare, tel
egrapb, telephone, berths, expense of
preparing report, $542: Senator Haines,
of York for the same items, except prep
aration of report, $217.30; Jacob Rob
erts. Jr.. of Luzerne, $232.32; Represent
ative Dunlap. of Philadelphia, $232.30:
Representative J. C. Campbell.of \\ est
morland, $177 30, ,
In his veto of the accounts of the oleo
investigation committee he says.
As to the two meml>ers of the commit
tee who make no reply, I feel justified
in inferring, from the similarity of the
amounts appropriated to them, and the
fact that thev failed to make reply to
my request, that their items are of the
same character, and made up in the
same manner. At all events, no evi
dence is furnished me by which I c* ll
find that the appropriations would be
proper.
It has been the practice for many
years to allow mileage to members of
committees of the General Assembly,
and in withholding my approval from
these items and nimilar items appearing
in other bills I deem it proi>er to state
that no reflection upon the character
of the members can be fairly implied
because of these appropriations A
careful investigation of the whole sub
ject, howeyer, leads me to the conclu
sion that not only is there no act of As
sembly authorizing such payments, but
that it was clearly forbidden I<£ 'he
fundi mental law, article 11., section 8,
of the Constitution.
The only milege to which a meniter
of the General Assembly appears to I*
entitled is that provided in the act of
Assembly of 20 cents in coming from
and going home. He is distinctly for
bidden to receive any other compensa
ion whatever whether for servicers upon
committers or otherwise. Should these
items receive Executive approval, com
pensation would be given for service
upon committee under the guise of mile
age. in addition to the salary and mils
age provided bylaw.
"Two members of the emimittee ren
dered bills smaller in amount, shown to
me co be actual cash disbursements for
necessary expenses in the conduct of the
investigating with which they were
charged by the General Assembly and
I have, therefore, approved them, with
other unobjectionable items.
"In the consideration of this bill and
others of similar character I have in all
cases witheld my approval from all
items except such as 1 had reason to
believe represented necessary and act
ual disbursements for expenses inenr
ed.
In each of the foregoing items disap
proved and included in the sum appro
priated is the work of "preparing re
ports." The amounts considered by a
member of a committee as a proj>er
charge for preparing reports
is not given, but it ai>j>ears to form a
part of each sum approprfated. Under
the law, as already shown, a member
of the committee is not entitled to any
sum whatever for the work of prepar
ing the report of his committee, and to
allow compensation therefor wonld be
In plain violation of the provision of the
constitution above quoted."
He also vetoed the bills to create the ■
office of Game and Fish Warden and
what is known as the Fish Commission
bill, codifying the fish laws and declar
ing the sjiecies of fish which arc game
and commercially valuable for food.
The latter measure was amended to
■uch an extent in the House that the
Fish Commission disowned it and asked
the Governor to use his scimetar One
objection of the Governor was that, the
bill failed to prohibit fishing on Sun
day. The commission thinks in many
cases the size of the fish to be caught is
too small. Through the onslaughts of
Ben Focht and Peoples, of Lancaster,
the measure was radically changed
Focht declared the bill was aimed at
the poor man and the barefooted urchin
in favor of the "aristocratic sports
man."
Also the bill to provide for the more
safe and efficient means of exit from
theatres and other places of pnblic
amusement. The bill applies to all the
towns, and the Governor thinks it
wonld be onerous and oppressive on the
smaller places.
In reducing the appropriation for the
University of Pennsylvania from $250
000 to S2<X),OOO he savs: "The State
should be wise and liberal enough to
well provide for such institutions as
the University of Pennsylvania, the
State College and the Western Uni
versity."
On Friday the Governor vetoed the
Mercantile Tax bill and in bis veto
message says:
"This being an important revenue
measure, and coming to me at a time
when additional revennes are needed,
would receive my approval were it not
for the fact that, after the most careful
consideration. I have reached the con
elusion that the constitutionality of
the proposed enactment is more than
doubtlni; that, if permitted to become
a law. it would be unjust and unfair to
a large class of onr merchants, and that
ultimately it would prove detrimental
to the best interests of the Common
wealth.
"The Constitution provides, article
ix., section 1, that 'all taxes shall t>e
uniform upon the same class or sub
jects within the territorial limits of the
authority levying the tax, and shall lie
levied and collected under generai
laws.'
"By the terms of this bill the mer
chant whose sales are more than sl,<MH>
and less than $5,000 annually pays $7,
and the merchant whose sales amount to
anything loss than SIO,OOO pavs a tax of
110. while' the merchant whose sales
amount to $10,000,000 or more pays
$12,000 j»er annum. The want of uni
formity is apparent from this state
ment.
"The thing taxed is the volume of
sales. The small merchant who sells
SI,OOO worth of goods in a year pays $7,
or a 7-mill tax, and the merchant who
sells SIO,OOO worth a year pays $lO, or a
1-mili tax, while the merchant whose
sals amount to SIO,OOO,<MMi per year, if
he were taxed at the same rate as the
merchant whose wiles amount to SI,OOO
per year, would lie required to pay S7O,
000, instead of $12,000, as fixed by the
bill.
"TbiH inequality is found through the
entire classification, and inasmuch as
the license tax has for its basis the
volume of the sales, anil that l>eing the
snbject of the tax, i believe it to l>e in
violai lon ot' the section of the < 'on»titn
tion at>ove quoted. It is certainly not
uniform upon 'the same class of mtb
jects.' If it tx* said that each one of
the ;t7 chisses has imposed npon it a
nnifonn tax npon all merchants within
its provisions, I think it still open to
the objection that it is an arbitrary
classification of a class, and that, as the
burdens imposed npon the several
classes lack uniformity and e</u ility, it
is still within the constitutional in
hibition.
"But the bill is subject to the further
objection that no distinction is made
between the wholesale merchant, who
may do a volume of business at a
small profit, and the retail dealer who
may do the same volume of business at
a greater profit, and it includes, too
within its provision* commission mer
chants, forwarders and others, the
volume of whose business, in the nature
of things, would be great, but the mar
gin of profit very small. Th" purchase
and s tie of grain. Hour and provisions,
largely for export, by com mission mtr
chant* fnniiVh a large part of the com
I rnercc- '»t the of Philadelphia and
Pittsburg. an.l it is a business that
should be fostered and encouraged. The 1
proposed tax is not a tax upon property ;
nor npon profit*, bnt njinn sales, which
may yield small profits or none at all .
"For several years the business de j
pression has been so great that almost
everv industry has struggled to exist, j
and 1 am unwilling to impose further I
burdens up«>n these interests for the.
reasons that I have stated.
He vetoed the Simon's Electric-Light
bill which proposed preventing munic
ipalities from engaging in the business
of furnishing light for municipal pur
poses or to the people in all cases
where such municipality has, by ordi
nance. contract or otherwise, permitted
any corporation organized under the
act of 1874 to use or occupy its streets,
lanes and alleys for the purpose of
furnishing light.
It was a very odious measure, an<l a
simnlar hilt was vetoed two years ago.
The Public school Bird day bill was
also vetoed.
Then he went over the general ap
propriation bill and marked out items
amounting to $152,000. In the Legis
lative expense accounts only those
salaries authorized by law were allow
ed. all the extras and excess charges
were vetoed.
For the salaries of employes of the
Senate $45,526 out of *54.976 was allow
ed and |9,450 vetoed. On the House
side *6O. *7O out of $75,404 was approved
an.l $14,534 negatived. Lucius Rogers,
of Kane, was denied fI,OOO as the ( lerk
of the Senate Appropriation Committee.
State Treasurer Haywood announced
that Auditor General Mylin and he
would not take np the accounts of leg
islative employes until August 8, and
they need not" waste carfare and shoe
leather in going to Harrisburg.
The Governor signed an appropriation
of SIOO,OOO for the Jefferson Medical
College In Philadelphia and approved
the liquor revenue bill, increasing the
retail license fees and imposing a
graded tax on brewers, distillers, com
pounders, etc.
That ended the bills and theGoverner
started for his home in Bellefonte.
shortly after, remarking as he left that
by nightfall he would probably be the
most unpopular man in the state. He
drove up the Juniata valley and across
Mifflin and Centre counties to his
home. . .
The Mercantile tax bill was original
ly an administration measure but after
the vigorous protest of the Pittsburg
and Philadelphia merchants and the ex
jiosition of the Constitution bearing up
on the subject by Attorney James A.
Stranahan. the Executive recognized it
would work a great hardship, and its
ability to stand the test of the Supreme
Court was doubted, so he vetoed it.
The fact that the Simon bill was held
to the last and then vetoed is an indi
cation of the tremendous pressure ex
erted by the gas and electric light inter
ests of "the State. Politics was bound
up in every line of this bill, and shrewd
observers think the veto of the Simon
measure is the best evidence that the
Governor has broken loose from all his
old moorings and henceforth will go it
alone.
The last Legislature sent 4H4 bills to
the Governor, of which he approved 409
and vetoed 74. The total cash vetoed
was $636,726 11, as compared t05745,561
vetoed in 1895. Outside of the appropria
tions to Eastern colleges, the difference
in the amount of money vetoed is ac
counted for by the Governor's-warning
to the Legislature to hew to the lowest
notch, and the advice was followed to a
considerable cTtent.
Gov. Hastings sat flown pretty
hard on the Harrisburg loafers, and for
this he will be commended. His action
will tend to curb the growing lack of
conscience and decency there.
His veto of the new Mercantile tax
bill was unexpected and his approval of
the immense grants to the Eastern
colleges, while vetoing the paltry sum
for our hospital don't look consistent
but that perhaps was due to spite-work
objections. Hastings lias done well
but a better man would have done bet
ter. The people of this state will prob
ably l>e given an opportunity to vote
for a first-class business man for Gov
ernor next year.
"Edna, tlic Tigress."
(Pittsburg News.)
Mrs. Edna South Kitchens, is a fugi
tive from justice, jealousy having made
her a murderess. She is wanted at
Parkersburg, W. Va., to answer for the
recent slaying of William Beatty, by
drenching him. as he lay in bed, with a
quart of vitriol. The woman was his
mistress and the crime was prompted
by her l»elief that he had been false to
her.
Beatty was a member of Beatty & Co.
well known oil producers of Warren Pa.
and had a moat estimable wife and fam
ily. Beatty originally cauie from Mor
gantown, and it was there that he be
came act] nan ted with Edna Kitchens,
styled by the anthorities of Parkersburg
as, "Edna, the beautiful tigress."
Mrs. Hitchens' wicked way drove her
linsband, William Hitchens. to commit
suicide at Cincinnati, by jumping from
the snsjiension bridge into the Ohio Riv
er aliout seven weeks ago. She broke?
np the happy home of the Beattys,
brought shame and disgrace on her well
respected parents in their old age, and
is credited with causing the downfall
of her yonnger sister Florence, who is
now living In a disreputable house in
Allegheny.
Her assault on Beatty occurred on the
evening of July !!, at Parkersburg. Mrs.
Hitchens had for some time been living
there with Beatty For several days
previous she and Beatty had lieen quar
reling. In a fit of jealous r ige she pro
ensed a quart of vitriol and while Beat
ty slept threw the contents of the l«>tt 1 ■.
over him. He was frightfully burned.
From his neck down across his chest
and sides, and his legs to his ankles, the
flesh peeled off in strips. After com
mitting the crime the woman rushed
out and summoned Dr St mt, who re
lieved the man as much as possible. On
aer-ountof the prominence of Beatty
the matter was kept from the authori
ties almost 24 hours, nnd by that time
the Hitchens woman had escaped. She
has since been at large Beatty was
removed to a hospital, where he died a
few days ago. Only a few days before
she threw the vitriol, it is said the
Hitchens woman laid in wait for Beat
ty with a revolver, intending to shoot
him, but he aceidentlly escaped her
vengance.
It is believed the woman went to ('in
einnati from Parkersbnrg, with money
furnished her by Beatty, as she was
seen in a parlor car of a train bound
for Cincinnati shortly after her attack
on Beatty. She fell asleep in the draw
ingroom of the car, and when the con
ductor attempted to arouse her in order
to assign her a berth. she attacked him
savagely with a liquor liottle, cutting
hsm on the head, face and arm. A Mor
gantown man. who knows the woman
well, and who was in Pittsburg on
Thursday, July the 15, declares he then
saw Mrs. Hitchens on Fifth avenue. 1
He claimed to have had a conversation
with hci. in which she said she regret
ted that she had not blown Beatty s
brains out with a revolver.
On Saturday evening, July :!, after
having thrown the vitrol it is said that
she went to a hotel in l'arkersburg, and
remained the greater part >f the night
in biding. Two intimate friends whom
she permitted to see her. she boasted of
what she hail done, and expressed a
hope that it would finish him.
She said she had been faithful to
Beatty for years, and on returning to
I'arkersbnrg. after a months absence
had discovered evidence of infidelity on
his part and she had then sought re
venge.
William Beatty was well known
throughout, the oil regions, and especial
ly in Morgantown, W Va . Uniotitown
and Mt. Morris. <»r<-cu county, I'a..
where be lived for several years, and
where be cast off ins wife and little
ones for Mrs. Hitch,.as. Beatty H p.ir
ents live in Glen Morris, Pa , and are
highly respectable. William Kitchens
the woman's late husliand. was the son
of a prominent Methodist divine and
merchant of Morgantown The father
died recentlv. bnt his mother is still liv
ing at Monndsvill*. W. \a . Mrs
Kitchens is about 27 years 01.l and is re
lated to manv prominent persons of Mt.
Morris, her birthplace, and surrounding
tews. She was beautiful in face and
form, with a certain bewitching st\ le
that to some men is irresistible. 1 o
these charms Beatty fell a victim Her
natural beauty was always heightened
by handsome "dressing. In late years,
however, it is said, she has indulged
heavily in drink, which has robbed her
of much of her beauty.
Edna Kitchens was the daughter of
Jacob and Margaret South, pious, God
fraring Methodists, who trained her and
their four other children in pious ways.
As a child she was beautiful and as a
maiden was the conceded belle of Mt
Morris. When 16 years old. in I**o.she
married William Kitchens, their wed
ding being a notable society event.
Kitchens was then in business in Mor
gantown, with good prospects in life.
His married joy. however, was brief
He soon took to drink and lost all his
former ambition. In time this change
in the man was explained by the re
lations that developed between his wife
and his once fast friend. William Beat
ty The breaking up of the two fami
lies followed, and Beatty and Mrs.
Hitchens went to Wood Co., a.
Here she gradually fell into dissipated
wavs. As her pink cheeks faded and
her trim figure began to lose its lines of
beauty, through a tendency to embon
point, she felt that her hold on Beatty s
affections was weakening. Whether
this was true or not. jealousy seized 011
her and between this soul-consuming
malady and strong drink she finally
killed him and is now trying to escape
the penaltv of her crime.
William Beatty was bom in \ enango
county. November the 13. 1859. In his
earlv manhood he moved to Meadville.
where he engaged in the oil business
Later he went to Morgantown. thence
to Mt Morris, and from there to Par
kersbnrg. where he met his tragic end.

Harrisburg, Aujr. 3. —Th<- possible
outcome of the Republican state con
vention, which meets on AUK. 26, is
giving Republican 1. adt-rs of every
s!;ac?e of opinion considerable food for
thought. Despite the unfortunate epi- >
r.f the -.x months, th re ia
i M h n st R publican who \.unts to s—•
h-» party candidates defeated thi> fall.
However much of difference may exist
the fat tions of the party, it is
is a whole, v. tun a pa; ty is.sue is ln
v- Ivcd, a c»impact and thoroUßhly unit
ed body.
It is the unanimous opinion of the
lead'-rs. without regaid to faction, that
this year's candidates for state treas
urer and auditor general would have a
very hard and bitter liyht on hdn I were
the Democrats in the state an har
n.onlous and organization.
But they are not. They are disunited,
torn by factional differ- nces. and as
widely separaf d now as ever on the
gold and silver issue. The ma: s of the
party is under the leadership of John
M. Carman, a political soldier of for
tune. who has no scruple whatever on
the score of trading its influence and
bartering its power for any temporary
advantage that can be obtained. It is
this latter fact that has l>»en giving
Republican leaders of all factions con
siderable thought, for it is the only
issue fraught with danger that now
menaces the complete success of the
party ticket this fall.
GOLD DEMOCRATS INDIFFKRENT.
This condition is not approved by
the attitude of the Gold Demo
crats of the state. To all appear
ances they are wholly indifferent to
the outcome of the state contest
this fall. There Is no great na
tional issue to claim their support.
There in no question of silver fallacy
or gold fealty to attract their attention
or demand their votes. They are in a
state of indifference, ami it Is more
than probable that in a purely state
contest a majority of them at least
wwuld throw their influence and their
votes against the Republican candi
dates.
Whatever may be said to the con
trary, therefore, the incontrovertible
fact remains that at least nine-tenths
of the Democratic party will vote this
year as it has always voted, against
Republican candidates. The remaining
one-tenth will cither stay away from
the polls or e!s« content itself with
votlnK for the Republican 1 andklate for
auditor general alone. This Is the situ
ation as it is viewed today by leading
men in the Republican party.
THE PROHIBITION PARTY,
ltut there is another elejnent in Penn
sylvania politics this year which must
be considered in connection with tbe
fall campaign. It is the Prohibition
party. Despite the fact that for years
it han been the refuge of disgruntled
politicians from both of the older par
ties. that It has been dragged hither
and thither by all the "ites" and "isms"
of every theorist and party wrecker. It
is in a position this fall to do consider
able damage simply through the per-
Istency of one man. This man is Rev.
Dr. Silas C. Swallow, of Harrisburg.
editor of the Pennsylvania Methodist,
who has appealed a sentence of tr>oo
fine for criminal libel upon state ofli
cials.
Dr. Swallow is a candidate for state
treasurer. He practically nominated
himself, but his campaign is to tie run
In what he promises to be a vigorous
and unsparing way. He has published
all sorts of vague and unfounded
stories concerning the administration
of affairs by the state's fiscal officers,
and it does not matter to him that he
has been convicted of libel in his news
paper. he still persists in attacking
itate officials, and criticising even the
court itfelf before which he was tried
and found guilty. This line of action,
however Indefensible It may be, has
attracted attention over th.- state, and
the Swallow boom has attained a
prominence that it otherwise could not
have had were it not for the mischie
vous and persistent liny of attack pur
sued by Dr. Swallow, In his paper, the
Pennsylvania Methodist.
It Is worthy of note that all the ar
tistry of Dr. Swallow and his follow
ers is direi ted against the state treas
ury and Its methods, and the fight this
year of th.- allied opponents of the Re
publican party is going to be waged
against this office and Its candidate.
The office of auditor general is one of
the clerical class. Its Incumbent being
practically the bookkeeper of the state
He does not handle funds, arrange for
the distribution of the state's cash, or
have anything to do with the handling
of the state's money.

of thought Mr. Ilea com Is recognized
us ihe weak spot In the: campaign for
the coming fall, and the advisaflTlity
of substituting a stronger man, one
with a record, is seriously agitating
the leaders on both sides of the moun
tains.
RE A COM' H WEA K N ESS.
Within the past month tills feeling
has taken a definite shape and oppo
sition to Heacom's candidacy Is spring
ing up In spots all over the state.
The entire Allegheny delegation, with
the exception, perhaps, of half a
dozen men, will not only oppose Rea
com, but will lead the way in placing
another candidate before the state con
vention. The Philadelphia delegation Is
divided on the question, while Lycom
ing county will oppose his candidacy
on , ; riiliar grounds. As the days of the
state convention approach this feeling
appears to grow In intensity, and it Is
this fact that has already led a num
ber of ih" state lenders, including
friends of Senator Quay, as well a-T
those who are opposed to him, to dis
cuss the advisability of another can
didate with whom the party will have
no difficulty in winning this fall.
The opposition t'i Mr. Hcat-oni Is bas
ed on the general principal of Inherent
weakness. He bus never done any
thing, it is t barged, either for the coun
try. state or his county that would Jus
tify him in claiming so distinguished
an office ar. that of stale treasurer. In
Ills profi slonal capacity It Is said he
Is not known outside the Wwstmoreland
bar, and lti it does not figure as Its
leader. Without wishing to say any
thing unkind or ungenerous concerning
Mr. Beacom It must nevertheless bo
confessed that the concensus of opinion
appears to lie. among Republicans, gen
erally. that the office of state treasurer
demands a candidate of greater promi
nence, of tried executive ability and
experience, whose name is synonymous
with sterling Republicanism, than Mr.
Ite.acorn possesses.
STATE TREASURY HISTORY. j
The history of the office Is In line

The bitterness with which Dr. Swal
low. as a candidate for s Ue treasurer,
will V. age his ca:.ipa'gn. the support
which the l'h-in- t sty will und. abtedly
give him, ' the unforturate unrest

not be to poll the full party
strength, as v. iil be the case with Ma
jor MeCault }. the candidate for au
ditor general, who will undoubtedly
lead his ticket by a large majority.
A STRICTLY PART-Y QUESTION.
The question Of a suitable candidate
must be left to the choice of the con
venti- n. He tioulci he, however, a
Republican 11 unwavering fidelity, a
man with a record, both public and
private, that I- .!> ve reproach, and. if
possibiw. on- possessed tjf sufficient
Oratorical ability to go beforw the peo
ple of the -t ite and proclaim the prin
ciples of R.-otjbli. anism against all
comers. Against such a man as this
th-- shafts of tbe enemy would fail
powerless and broken. With all his
power of inv-wtive. nnd with the lever
age possessed by him in the cuiumns
ef his religious newspaper. Dr. Swal
low, even with the assistance of the
Democratic party, would be unable to
make any headway.
Whatever is done.t however. In any
direction will, the leaders say, be done
for the best interest of the party. This
Is a Republican family affair, and must
be settled within the lines of the party.
Whoever is chosen as a candidate for
the high and important office of state
treasurer will receive the undivided
support of the entire party. Whatever
errors and shortcomings individual
Members of the parly have been guilty
of must not be credited to the party.
Members of the legislature who were
guilty of negligence should suffer, but
the party must not be held responsible
for their evil doings. For thin reason
the Republican party this fall must
stand as an harm' nious und aggressive
body in the interests of the ticket nomi
nated.
Tiie ('. I!. Convention.
The Christian Endeavor Union of
Bntler met in Fairview on Thursday,
July 29th. in the Presbyterian church
at that place. There was a large nnm
ber of delegates from the many ('. E.
societies of the county, and the weather
and roads being exceptionally favor
able, the attendance was very Rood.
The Pres. and U. P. churches in which
the sessions were held were very taste
fully and profusely decorated with
potted plants, blended colors of the
union, vines, and flags. Dr. Clark's
likeness was a part of the decoration in
each church.
The delegates were met at Petrolia
with vehicles and were driven to the
church where a committee of entertain
ment waited to escort each one to his
stopping place. The Union convened
at - P. M. Thursday and after the dele
gates prayer meeting, were very cor
dially welcomed by Kev. Sherrard. of
Fairview in behalf of the churches, and
by Edward Bver in behalf of the so
cieties. .T, M. (Jalbreath Esq., of But
ler, responded in a very graceful speech.
After the organization the nnion listen
ed to the President's address and to
brief reports from the societies.
This was followed by a very interest
ing open parliament conducted by Rev.
Eli Miller, of Bntler. on "The Binding
Fofce of tiie-Pledge. "
The feature of the evening session
was an able address on The Power of
Prayer" by Rev. W. <l. Reagle, of
Braddock.
«:!{<> on Friday morning found a good
1>- numlier in attendance at the sun
rise prayer meeting conducted bv Miss
L. E. Young, of Butler, who took for a
subject "The Indwelling of the Spirit.'
The union convened at !1 a. in., open
ed with prayer and praise service con
ducted bv Rev. 11. H. Ryiand of Falls
Creek. Part of the forenoon was oc
copied by rejiorts. An interesting
lecture on "Man's Duty to Man" was
delivered by Rev. J. .). Ralston, of
Portcrsville. Adi cushion 011 title giv
ing was n very interesting feature of
the morning session. The convention
sermon was preached by R< v. W. I. Me
Nees, of (ilade Mills, on "Seek ye first
the Kingdom of God." A very able
arid helpful discourse
At the opening of the afternoon ses
sion Rev. Ryiand again led a prayer
and praise service after which the re
ports of the committees were heard.
The nominating committee reported
officers for the ensuing year as follows:
Pres.. Prof. H. I Painter. Chicora; Rec.
See , Mrs. English. Petrolia; Cor. Sec.,
Miss Vina McCullough, Bntler: Treas.,
Rev. P. J. Slonaker, Zelienople: Snpt
Good < 'itizenship, .lohn <Dight; Snpt.
Missionary Extension, Miss L. E.
Young. Bntler: Snpt. Junior Work.Mrs.
Bampus. Chicora: Snpt. Evangelistic
Work, Rev. W. II Collins. Bntler.
Rev. Shonaker gave « very fine ad
dress on tin "Beauty of the Bible," and
Miss Lillian Dodds talked forcibly mul
to the |H>int on "Is there a place in the
Church for the Juniors':
The services 011 Friday evening began
with a Bible reading conducted by Miss
L. E. Young on "The Qualifications of
Christian Workers." W. II Ben haul.
Esq. of Pittsburg delivered a very earn
est address on "World Wide Endeavor
Tle consecration service which was
very earnest, ami touching, was con
ducted by Rev. Ryiand.
All the sessions were helped and
brightened by the excellent music which
was interspersed continually. The
united choirs gave some fine anthems
and Miss Nellie Winters of Zelienople
gave several well rendered solos
The convention was disappointed that
Mrs. <N. Boyd of Butler was unable
to sing as expected, she being able to be
there but once.
The convention all through was full
of interest and will doubtless help the
work throughout the county material

it struck him. and the me»al entered
