The Salvation Army has not, as the ancient Hebrews, its three Festivals: but has two special seasons throughout the year, one known as the Week of Prayer and Self-Denial, when the funds are divided between the home work and the needs of some foreign mission coun try, India coming in for its share of the proceeds in the last great effort. But the Harvest Festival is purely for the work at home, and is so successfully planned and assisted by the friends of the movement that thousands of dollars were raised in 1899. The Army expects to far surpass those figures this present year. The dates of the Festival are Sept. 29th t > Oct. 2d. and the offisers and members of Butler corps will be pleased to receive donations and will have an exhibition and sale of articles contributed on the last two days of the festival, viz.

Ten thousand people with a brass band met the "Pirates" when they ar rived in Pittsburg last Thursday morn ing and at the game that day, the people crowded aronnd them and made them presents. Hans Wagner got a bit bat and two small boys handed Rube Waddell a big box and then ran away. "Waddell gamely opened the box. One glance was enough. The strong man from Butler county, who plays star roles at barn raisings, fell back with a yowl, kicking over the in nocent hat box as he fell. Out scrambl- ied a choice dozen of crabs. Waddell j called for help and finally lassoed all I his presents, restoring them to the box. | and the slaughter of St. Louis cou j tinned."
