The famous Bird Book' case afford
ed much amusement for the grave Jus
tices of the Supreme Court in Harris
burg. Monday. Both sides interjected
much humor into the argument by
their remarks on certain features of the
document. Attorney General El kin
represented the Commonwealth and ex-
Attorney General Hensel and ex-Speak
er Walton appeared for ex-State Print
er Bnsch.
Mr Elkin told the court how the book
had been padded by ex State Economic
Zoologist Warren from a pamphlet of
128 pages, with two illustrations, at a
cost to the State of $488.24. to a docu
ment of oyer 600 pages at a cost of
606.85. He showed that the Superin
tendent of Printing had never seen the
copy furnished by Dr. Warren for the
pubUcation. and that he never furnish
ed any order for the procuring of the
numerous plates, which alone cost *•>■>-
337 39.
Mr. Hensel exposed the loose manner
' in which the State printing is conduct
ed, and proved that a written order for
the work had l>een given by ex-Superin
tendent of Public Printing Robinson.
He said that the superintendent very
seldom takes the time to examine the
copy or documents furnished him by
the departments.
If this contention does nothing else it
may lead to a reform in the State print
ing. The work is supposed to be done
under the direction of a superintendent
at a salary of |2,000 a year, with a clerk
who is paid SI,OOO. Captain Thomas
G. Sample, of Allegheny, is the superin
tendent, and it is doubtful if he spends
more than three days a month at his
office. The work is left to his clerk aud
the State Printer, who docs the printing
and binding by contract and does practi
cally as he pleases.
Governor and Mrs. Stone entertained
the Judges of the Supreme Court at din
ner Tuesday evening at the Executive
Mansion. The large dining room was
beautifully decorated with choice flow
ers and plants from the Capitol Park
Conservatory. This was the Govern
or's first dinner to the court, and the
last at the mansion at which Chief J ns
tice Sterrett will attend in his official
capacity He will retire from the
bench next January, and he is now
holding his final court in the Middle dis
trict. The Court heard arguments that
day in a number of cases in order that
' it might clear the calendar as quickly as
Z' possible and get away from Harrisbnrg.
Coveis were laid at the dinner for 23.
In the Supreme Court party were Chief
Justice Sterrett, Associate Justices
Breen, McCullon, Mitchell, Dean and
Fell; Prothonotary William Pearson, of
Harrisbnrg; Reporter William C. Kress,
of Lock Haven, and Assistant Reporter
Edward P. Allinson, of Philadelphia.
There were also present Secretary
Griest, Attorney General Elkin, Dep
uty Secretary of the Commonwealth
Beitler, Deputy Attorney General
Fleitz, Private Secretary Gerwig,
Judge John B. McPherson, of the
United States District Court, Philadel
phia; Judges Simonton and Weiss, of

On Wednesday informations were
made before Alderman Maurer against

acy. perjury and corrupt solicitation in
connection with the contest for United
States Senator and the consideration of
the McCarrell jury bill in the recent
Legislature. The informations were
prepared by Charles H. Bergner, pri
vate counsel for the House Prosecuting

mony taken before the Legislative
committee and its rejwrts to the House
of Representatives.

were held at Concord 011 Tuesday a. m.
and at Zion church in the afternoon.

Hall in Middletown and marched in a
body to Concord Cemetery aud after

heroes who slnmber there; repaired to
the church where a vast concourse had
assembled to hear and to take part in
the lurther ceremonies of the day.
After the rendition of an appropriate
, patrotic song, Rev. Alter invoked the
divine blessing. Pres. Lincoln's ad
dress at Gettysburg was re;ui by Cor
poral Black, Prof. Harper sang • 'Some
body's darling" and the orator of the
day, John W. Coulter, of Butler, was
introduced to the andience who in an
able manner spoke of the origin of me
morial day and of the Kreat principles
involved in its proper observance, the
lessons to be learned therefrom, the
cost in blood and treasure, of the rebel
lion to our union, and concluded by a
graphic comparison and illustration of
the gTeat and wonderful resources of
our country and of the necessity of
patriotic action on the part of all the
people. A selection by the choir and a
song from Prof Harj>er completed the
exercises of the forenoon. The veterans
then proceeded to Zion Cemetery where
the graves of the soldiers buried there
were visited and properly decorated.
Prof. W. P. Day, of Peachville. made
the memorial address to the crowd
gathered at Zion church. Taken as a
whole the exercises of the day were
pleasant, profitable and entertaining.
The exercises of the day culminated in
the evening at Concord church where
the members of the G A R attended
in a body to witness the entertainment
given by the young people j„ j,<>nor 0 f
the occasion.
The District S. S. Convention met in
Concord church last week with a good
attendance and full force of workers
present. A prominent feature of the
occasion was the address of Rev. Wor
rell, of Butler, in the evening. The
session was highly enjoyed by all pres
ent and no doubt many useful lessons
were learned that will be reduced to
practice in future work,

09 CLASS SONG.
Composed 1 y Misses Estelle Heydrick,
Myrtle Younkins. and Jessie Cornelius. ]
From the H" S halls we're wending.
Where we've worked so hard and long.
And we join with voices blending
In one glad and joyful song.
Three long years we've toiled together.
Through bright and glcomdays:
Bnt our ties we now must sever.
As we go our sep'rate ways.
We have reached the goal we strove for
Our weary race is run;
Yet our striving is not over
For the battle's just begun.
When the storms of life o'ertake 11s.
And the thorns obscure the flowers.
When life's pleasures all forsake us
We'll recall those happy hours
Though life's burden bears upon us
Weighing down the mind and heart.
Though obstructions lie before us
May our courage ne'r depart
Standing firm amidst the conflict.
That, at last the battle o'er.
We shall all be laureled victors.
And rejoice forever-more.
Change in Civil Service Itules.
A dispatch from Washington, dated
Monday, said.
• The real friends of the President,and
true civil service reform exponents give
distinct expression of their disappoint
ment over the yielding to the clamor of
practical politicians and office-seekers,
betrayed by the official signing of the
new civil service order today. It will
}>e several days before the Civil Service
Commissioners themselves can figure
out from the complex modifications just
how far the re.-toration to the collection
of spoils has gone.
It is said that 5,000 places alone are
affected, but the dragnet provision in
regard to transfers, and to restorations
after displacement when the force is re
duced furnishes a new loophole for in
troducing friends into the service with
out regard to competency.
Some bitter comments are heard on
the generalizing language employed in
alleging reasons for abandoning the
barriers that had been set up. Civil
service upholders argue that whereas it
was conceded that fiduciary positions
should be exempted, the amendments
include places styled as such, which are
not known to the law which affixes
their salaries. For instance, there is no
law for private secretaries to United
States Attorneys, but the order exempts
some clerk who will be unofficially
given this title
Commissioner Proctor, of the Civil
Service Commission was not snpplied
with a copy of the order until 1 p. m.
He regards large portions of it as un
satisfactory He says that the President
last June received some recommenda
tions aa to d. sired amendments in the
rules, but no attention was given, and
since the Commission h,is never been
consulted. The order was promulgated
without any notice to the Commission,
which must execute it and be controlled
by its relaxed provisions.

A terrible storm paeecd over south
western Pennsylvania. Monday after
noon —wrecking houses and killing
people in Pitt-burg and vicinity, and
doing damage in Leechburg, Connel
lsulle, Uniontown and other places.
A sensation was created in the Pres
byterian church of Grove City, last
Sunday, by Joseph Gordon, a prominent
member of the cnnrch and a teacher in
the Snnda> school, who jumped to his
feet in the middle of a sermon by the
pastor, Rev. Dr. W. J. McConkey, and
made a speech opposing the views pre
sented by Dr. McConkey. The pastor
in his sermon argued that it was an im
possibility for the ordinary man to live
without sinning. When the minister
began preaching Gordon became rest
less, and finally, when the sermon was
about half over, he jumped to his feet,
saying. "Brother, just one moment.
Any one who would preach like that
has never been sanctified or redeemed,
and should fall at the foot of the cross
and call' Unclean, unclean. '' Gordon
then continued to upbraid the pastor
for his utterances. Some of the church
elders arose and started toward Gordon,
who subsided, however, before they
reached hiiu. Dr. McConkey then said:
"You people all know this brother, if"
I have not been preaching salvation aj:d
the goipel of Jesus Christ, 1 beg your
pardon and hope you will all pray for
me." He tneo finished his sermon. In
the afternoon Gordon attended a meet
ing of the Salvation army in the park,
where he made an address, in which he
attacked the local ministers, saying
many of the doctrines they taught were
the result of ignorance, and advising
the people to pay 110 attention to their
teachings, as they lacked sanctification.
In his attacks both in the church and in
the park Gordon was supported by two
or three women.

Found His Lost Coin.
During the civil war Mr J. J Hib
| bier, now a resident of Springfield.
| Mo., was living in Hubbard. O. At
that time silver money was very scarce,
' as many an old veteran will remember,
and Mr. llibbler one day had a half dol
lar stamped, "J. J. Hibbler, Hubbard,
Ohio," just for a pocket piece. It was
dated 1*53. A fter carrying it for some
time he lost it and the fact worried him
not a little. Somehow he always had a
presentment that he would again see
that halt' dollar.
Mr. Hibbler came lo Missouri years
ago, but still he often thought of his
lost pocket piece, and as years flew by
he was more anxious than ever to gain
possession of it. and the other day he
did. He was in a restaurant, eating
his dinner, when Mr. Charles Schneider
came in He told Mr. Hibbler that
there was a half dollar at his store with
his name and Hubbard. Ohio, stamped
' on it. Of course Hibbler knew at once
just what half dollar Schneider meant,
and without finishing his dinner he
hurried to the store, where Mr.
Schneider willingly exchanged it for
one of Uncle Sam's half dollars that
was not a pocket piece. Mr. Schneider
does not know who gave him the
money, as he did not notice it at the
time. —Kansas City Journal.
The Land ol" "Pretty Soon."
I know a land where the streets are
paved
With the things wb.i<-h we meant to
achieve.
It is walled with the money we meant
to have saved;
And the pleasures for which we
grieve.
The kind words unspoken, the prom
ises broken
And many a coveted boon,
Are stowed away there in that land
somewhere—
The land of "Pretty Soon."
There are uncut jewels of possible fame
Lying about iu the dust.
And many a noble and lofty aim
Covered with mold and rust.
And i.h: this place, vvhile it seems so
near,
Is farther away than the moot,
Though our purpose is fair yet we nev
er get there—
The land of "Pretty Soon. ''
The road that leads to that mystic land
Is strewn with painful wrecks
And ships that have sailed for its shin
ing strand
Bear skeleton* on their dt-ckj
It is farther at noon than it was at
dawn.
And farther at night than at noon:
Ob, let us beware of that land down
there - -
The land of "Pretty Soon."

For many years he made the sheep
growing industry a speciality in which
he was very successful. He will be re

victim some years ago of quite a robberv
committed by three men who were nev

than ordinary intelligence and a good
citizen.
OBITUARY.
Controller Henry I. Gourley of Pitts
burg, who died last Saturday, spent his
boyhood in the vicinity of Bakerstown.
His father died and he was placed with ;
a farmer of Pine township named Logan. :
There he was raised as a farmer. He j
worked hard and studied at night; the
school terms were short and the teach
ers poor. After 12 years on the Logan
farm Mr. Gourley felt that he had dis
charged his obligations to his foster
parents and he determined to strike out
for himself. He earned *2O by splitting
rails and with this attended Wither
spoon institute, at Bntler. for one term.
After the school term closed he went
back to the farmer and worked harder
than ever, determined that he would
secure an education.
