o.,wasa visitor to the Y. M. C. A.
Convention and gave them a talk or
two —a thing he is well able to do. He
describes Manila as being a large city,
partly well built and well paved, but
without any sewerage system and ex
ceedingly filthy. Salt-water canals run
through the town, and iuto these all
the filth is thrown. It does a large
business in hemp, fine woods and other
products, is worth holding, and needs
Americanizing badly. He describes Agui
naldo as a swell-headed, vain, treacher
ous half-caste, who has made the na
tives believe that the rnle of the Ameri
cans would be worse than that of the
Spaniards, and whose lustof power has
brought about all the late trouble there.

was the guest of C. N. Bcyd.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE, PITTSBURG.
"Dr. Bill," the French farcial
comedy adapted to the American stage
by Hamilton Aide, which was such an
overwhelming success a* the Grand
Opera House last year, will be revived
next Monday at this popular theatre
and be continued all week. It is a
comedy pure and simple a comedy of
errois that induces the most amusing
complications and keeps the audience
roaring with laughter for nearly three
hours. The story tells of Dr. William
Brown, known as "Dr. Bill," coming
back to the practice of his profession
which he had relinquished at the time
of his marriage because many of his
patients were ladies of the ballet. His
father-in-law rather objected to his
meeting so many fascinating young
women, and Dr. Bill dutifully agreed
with him. When he becomes a doctor
again, he fiuds himself in all kinds of
amusing scrapes, and thus gives his
audiences their full quota of fun.

80 were from College and 52 from Rail

At six o'clock all the delegates were
surprised b\ the Ladies Auxiliary ban

Rev. C. A. Barbour of Rochester N. Y.
and H. L. Maxwell of Green Castle Ind.
The latter gentleman conducted all the
song services and his work was the fea
ture of the convention. He is the best
chorus leader who has ever visited But
ler, H. W. Gibson, secty, of the Lancas
ter Pa., association, acted as Mr. Max
well's accompanist.
Beginning with Friday morning,
all the sessions of the conven
tion were held in the First Presby
terian church. The day was fully oc
cupied with numerous papers and dis
cussions. In the evening a thousand
people crowded into the church and
heard tsvo splendid addresses, illustrat
ed with stereopticon views.
The first was by Mr. E. L. Shury of
Dayton 0.. who told and showed what
the"National Cash Register Co. of that
place did for its enployees; the second
was by Walter L. Douglass, sect'y of
the Philadelphia association, a very able

A. members present joining bands
formed a great living chain around the
room.
The delegates farewell was held in
the Presbyterian church after the other
services. A unanimous vote of thanks
and gratitude to the people of Butler
was taken, also a vote of thanks to the
presiding officer, Mr. Jennings, and at
10:30 the convention closed, singing
"Blest Be The Tie That Binds."
One of the features of the convention
was the great harmony that prevailed
in conducting all business, a display of
true Christian fellowship. The work
ing spirit around should bear good fruit
throughout the State. Butler can in
deed be congratutated that :i(K) men
gathered here to praise God and plan
for future Christian work.
Some ItoblMTW's.
During the past six months a number
of stores in Butler county have been
robbed —notably that of Chas. Eakin, of
Eau Claire, which has been robbed
twice of a large amount of goods; also a
store in Middletown; also that of Henry
Rowley, of Crawfords Corners, and that 1
of a store in Lisbon, 5 miles west of
Emlenton.
In none of these cases was there any
clue as to who took the goods, or where
they went. A few days ago 12 large
boxes of goods marked groceries were
shipped from Hilliards to Detroit. Both
the consignee and consignor were ficti
cious names.
The agent of Hilliard notified Chas.
Eakin of Eau Claire and Mr. Eakin tele
i graphed the authorities at Detroit.
The g(xxls were opened and found to be
blankets, clothing, gloves etc. and not
groceries. The matter was last night
put in the hands of the authorities
here and it is hoped the merchants may
recover their goods

Residents near \Vnrtemburg are ex
cited over the sudden death of Ethel
Hell Powell, the s-year-old daughter of
William Powell. The story, as told by
Mr. Powell, is that last Saturday Dr.
Thomas Bleucher. a traveling vender of
salves and cough syrups, stopped at the
house. On being told that the children
had colds lie offered to give them some
congh syrup. Later Ethel became rest
less and Bleucher said he would give
her a little powder to quiet her nerves.
He said there was nothing in the pow
der that would hurt the child. About
o'clock the next morning the little
girl became deli rious and Bleucher
said that he would give her another
powder to make her quiet. He took
some on the point of his knife, but Mrs.
Powell objected to the quauity, which,
she told him, was too large a dose for a
child. He shook off a portion of the
powder and gave her the remainder,
about the size of a pea. Soon after the
little girl said: "Oh. papa, that pow
der makes me feel so funny." In 15
minutes she began to sink, and when
Dr. J. M. Hazen was summoned he con
cluded the child had been given an
overdose of morphine, lie did every
thing possible, but the girl died at 2 p.
in. Bleucher who claimed it was not
his fault, was allowed to go unmoles
ted.
