A I FELL DEAD IN CEMETERY Waynesboro Man Expires While At- j tending Funeral of His Uncle Waynesboro, Pa., Nov. 7. —Elmer j O'Rear, son of Mrs. Annie H. o'Rear, I •Second street and Cleveland avenue, j died suddenly in Baltimore Thursday afternoon. He was attending the funeral of his uncle, Berkeley Ix>gan, and had accom panied the remains to Mt. Olivet ceme tery. As he was standing* there lie fell to the ground and an instant later was dead. Mr. O'ißear, whose home wan in this place for a number of 3'ears and who was a painter by frade, went to Balti more several months ago to do some painting. Jt was his intention to go to Savannah and spend the winter with his brother, Dr. William O'-Rear. Mr. O'Rear was born in Savannah, the son of William and Annie H. O'Rear, about fifty-two years ago, but resided in Waynesboro for a number of years. He was employed here as a painter. He is survived by his mother, one brother. Dr. William O'Rear, Savan nah, Ga., and two aunts, Mrs. Mary A. A. Pence, West Second street, and Mrs. Susan Cammack, West Second street. His body will be brought here for burial. Fell From Wagon, Nock Broken Gettysburg, Nov. 7.—With his neck broken ami three ribs crushed, Moses Nitchman, a farmer of near East Ber lin, was found dying on the rocd be tween that place and his home about throe miles distant at 6 o'clock Thurs day evening. Nitchman had fallen from a two horse load of coal. There was no known eye witness to the ac cident and the first man on the scene was W. C. Leas who saw the man in the road. Official Count Show Few Changes Carlisle, Nov, 7.—Pinal tabulation of the official vote gives the Demo crats little consolation. McCormick's majority in the county has shrunk, Penrose still maintains his lead over Palmer. Henry JTouck swept the coun ty and the other pluralities remain little changed. In fact all the conso lation is that Slioop does not lead Bar tier by quite as many as at first ex pected. Thin, with the maintained Congressional control, are the only lights in a dark sea of gloom. L/ate last evening compilation was completed and this morning the totals were sent to the State officers. The vote this year was heavy, totalling ap proximately 11,288 in "the Senatorial and slightly more in the gubernatorial poll. This year there was only one ques tion voted on, that of increasing the indebtedness of the borough of Camp Hill, $15,000 to provide for increased school facilities. It carried 166 to 6. Seek Cattle Quarantine Hagerstown. Md., Nov. 7.—That a quarantine of cattle in Allegheny, Washington and Preilerick counties be declared, was asked of Governor Golds borough yesterday by the State Tjive Stock Sanitary Board as the result of the discovery of the foot and mouth disease among herds of Washington county. Algerian Olive Trees In Algiers olive trees spring up wild and are grafted where they stand. In some regions they are so close as to touch overhead. The average annual yield for a tree is eighty to 11 pounds. Some of the trees are believed to be over 400 years old. It is estimated that there are over 5,000,000 wild olive trees in Algiers. The grafting of these is being carried out systematically un der the auspices of the government. Sheridan's Eetort Pitt had answered a speech of Sheri dan *8 and complained when the latter proposed to rejoin that Sheridan al ways wanted the last word.

SATURDAY NIGHT fgpISERMONS W §^BKSAMUEL M W.PURVISM THE BOY WHO WORRIES YOU. Text, "Is the young man Absalom »afe'."'—Sam. xviii, I?. Of all tbe tender touchinc tales thei'f fs none more appealing than that of David waiting at the sate for tidings of Absaloui. Absalom was David's old est and favorite boy, the son of a Ueatben mother, handsome, winsome, marvelous hair. Jolly, reckless, uitig netie, resourceful, crafty, hfs wits sharpened by exile for the murder of bis half brother Amnon. "Handsome is as handsome does" applied to Absa lom. He was an Apollo from tip to toe. but be was a demagogue, a leader, a "jollier." "He stole the hearts of the men of Israel." Wliat a political vote getter he would have been—a great, hand shaker, great proroiser. skillful flatterer, a good set of teeth in his smile, a cordial, interesting manner: Now be was in rebellion against his father, the king. The father had sent soldiers against the young renegade. David had given orders. "Deal gently with the young man for my sake." But that long, beautiful hair caught in an oak as he was dashing by. General Joab was glad of a chance to even things up with the young prince, and he pushed his spear In between his ribs. When David hears the news his heart is broken. Many a fond father has uttered Ihe same woil. "Ob, iny son Absalom, my son, my son. would God I could have died for you!" A Chip Off the Old Block. 1 pity tin* father. Many a man see lng the weed# by the roadside of his life recognizes the place where he him self scuttered the seed. Absalom was a chip off the old block, and David knew it. If you would train up a child In the way lie should go, go that way yourself. Many an indifferent father says, "Preacher, I wish you would do Boiuething to reach my boy." Poor fool! The boy's greatest preacher is his father. No use preaching truth if you He yourself. The same with drink, or cards or women. Did David know what Absalam had been doing right along? It would pay some fathers to learn to ride a "bike," or take a "hike" with their boy. David had been guilty of some sins that shut his lips to his boy's sins. God, that's awful! poe* any ghost rise in your home when you chide your boy, my friend? When you learn of Tom or Harry's downfall don't always blame the "gang" he went with. The mother v ill sing "Where is my wandering boy tonight?" a* she watches the clock and the pendulum beats against her heart "Juck never went to sleep without kissing me good night. I'll wait for him." God help her. she'll smell to bacco and whisky. Here Is the flame that never dies out "la th« Young Man 8af«?" No, he isn't! The devil's at the stile. My church is on the edge of the tender loin of a great city. Oh, the mothers who inquire and the letters that come to my desk! "I know you are a busy pastor, but won't you look up my boy? He and father had words. He left home in anger. Tell him to come back. We love him still." Say, mother, I •aw your boy, Absalom, last night in the city mission. He spoke of you with tears. He was grimly reticent when I mentioned his father. "The old man's all right, but he wanted me to walk the path toward the church while he walked in the opposite direction." No, the young man is not safe. Drink, reck less spending of money, debt, wrong companions of men and women beckon him. One letter I got I'd rather write back that the boy was drowned or killed. The man who carried the news to the mother here In Philadelphia that her boy was the first one killed at Vera OTUB had better news than I'vs had when I mid the boy waa living. I wrote to a dead soldier boy's mother: ' "There are things that are worse than death. A past Joy may be better than a future sorrow." Say, father, with boys still at home, set a good example. Everyday dealing with prodigal sons and daughters makes me say, "Preveo tion is better than cure." Absalom's Tomb. In life Absalom had raised * lofty pillar in the King's Dale. Instead there is a great pit in the forest of Epbraini with a huge heap of etones cast in upon his bloody and dishonored corpae. Sin brings folks to strange grave* One half block from where I preach and write is the city morgue. Mr clothing still gives evidence of my visit there this afternoon, but noth ing can take from my mind the horrid pictures I see every week. Absalom is in pauper's colfln in Potter's field or on a dissecting tablfe at the medical school. You've stood at Burr's grave at Princeton and Irvlng's at Tarrv town. One Is in the pit in the woods, the other in the King's Dale. Down Broadway beneath the guardian spire of St. Paul's 1 stood where General Montgomery sleeps in bis perpetual fame; then at the Metropolitan Muse urn of Arts I looked on the cenotaph of Eilgnr Allan Poe. erected by the charity, with its mournful in scription: "He xr'.is great in his genius, unhappy in life, wretched in his death.'* It Is not far over to Green wood to the mound where alone Tweed found refuge from outraged justice, which had pursued him half way around the world. When the angel of justice stands nt the tomb of Absalom I wonder if be does not glance over to ward the magnificent temple where King Devid sleeps; Placing Him. "My father's elected on the commit tee which is going to have some more iriven wells put dowu for the city." "Ah. I see: lie's on the water bored." -St Louis Itepobllc.
