• A "talking-machine"' reproduces
sounds, including music and th<? hu
man voice, and one wonders at it. Tho
indentures in the cylinders or plates are
made by the vibrations of a piece of
thin glass against one end of a needle,
the other end of which scratches the
plate. To reproduce the sound ; one end
of the needle runs through the inden
ture and tho other vibrates against the
gla*M. the sound made being increased
by the horn The mechanism is simple
enough, but the result seems marvelous.

dressed in men's clothing and went out
at night with Dorman to assist in bur
glaries. He avers that he has seen her
thus attired. He says they told him of
robberies they committed together. He
adds that ho has seen the woman in a
room with five or six other persons, and
no one recognized her or suspected her
sex when she was disguised. He says
that tho two have since laid many of
the crimes which they committed at the

brother are penniless and cannot take
an appeal to the Supreme court. Mrs.

The religious enthusiasm aroused by
ttie International Convention of the
Epworth in San Francisco had
its culmination at the grand meeting
held last Sunday, the la-t of the gather
ings, at Mechanics pavilion. About 10-,
000 persons were in attendance, and not
a seat was vacant until the conclusion
of the sermon preached by Bishop
Joyce, President of the League, on
"Faith in Christ.''
The Regular Monthly All Day Meet
| ing of the Christian and Missionary Al
liance will be held in the Gospel Taber
nacle, \tercer street Friday. July 2ti.
Services at 10:80, 2:00 and 7:30. The
Bird Sisters Misses, Elian and Emma
from Baltimore will be present. They
are excellent singers and speakers. All
are cordially invited to be present.
The pastor of a prominent Baptist
church in Williamsport has introduced
a new order of things in his edifice.
Young ladies instead of men have been
appointed ushers and collectors, who in
the future will provide the members
with seats and gather the pennies, nick
. els and dimes. The innovation was
'started on Sunday, and worked with
good effect. The pastor of a Philadel
phia church, in order to reach the aris
tocratic class of non church-goers, gives
full-dress services each Sunday evening,
