It was there too that he learned the story of the oppression of his ancestors — a story that fired his young and noble heart with a determination to always assist and sympathize with the distressed and oppressed of every creed, a resolution that he carried out and that marked him as generous patriotic and brave. In the public schools he laid the corner stone of his education, upon which by observation, wido and varied leading, he placed the super structure such as all sell made men erect. Early in life he embarked in tlio lumber industry and afterwards became identified with mining busi ness. By assidious labor and frugal economy he accumulated consider able money. In 18S9 lie and Mr. Jerry Deegau embarked in the hotel business at Lopez, where thev eon inoted a model hostlcry.

Lock Haven Democrat. At the meeting held at the Lftte siile hotel nt Eagles More on Lubor Day last, by a number of prominent genttemen, it was decided to take the necessary steps to charter a Chautauqua association. Oue of the enthusiastic supporters of the movement is ilnv. N. 11. f>'hcnck, of this city. Since the meeting at Eagles Mere the projectors have met at different times since unt',l now the association is duly constituted. A few months ago the association receive ' its charter from the state depart it the name being "Eagles Mere CL. itauqua." The officers that have been elected are: General James A. Beaver, president, Belle fonte; C. William Woddrop, first vice president, Hughesville; C. La Kite Munson, second vice president Williamsport; B. Harvey Welch, treasurer, Philadelphia; Jeremiah Kelly, recording secretary, Hughes ville; Benjamin G. Welch, corres ponding secretary, Tlughcsville; Rev. N. H. Sclienck, general superintend ent, Lock Haven. At a recent meeting of the direc tors the perfecting of arrangements of the meeting during next summer was left, to an executive committee, of which Rev. Schenek, the general superintendent, is also ft member. Mr. Schenclc stated to-day that the Chautauqua would hold its first outing Dext summer for four week-, the opening taking place July 21!. The program will consist oi lectures and entertainments each day and evening. Schools of elocution, pedagogy languages, physical cul ture, nut ic, kindergarten, etc., will be established. Efforts are bciug made to have the first meeting of' such a character that it will create enthusiasm and again the popularity that will insure an undoubted per manency of the movement. A large plot of ground has been secured by the Chautauqua associa tion on which the annual meeting wiil be held. In addition to land already owned by some oi the pro jectors many more acres were secur ed through the generosity of the land company. This laud is in close proximity to the large beautiful ialsc at i'agios Mere, and on an elevation sloping to and from tho body of v.-liter. When the buildings contem plated are'eventually erected, the utuation will prove an ideal place for the holding of such an intellect ; -j-.il outing. Eagles Merc possesses many ad vantages for the holding of annual meetings. It is over 2,200 feet above the level of the sea, which assures healthful and other desirable influences. Situated in the northern central part of Pennsylvania, it wiil be within convenient reaching dis tance of people residing in central and western Pennsylvania and south ern New York. During the sum mer season the population of the re* sort is largely increased by residents of New York, Baltimore, Washing ton, Philadelphia and Williamsport. The hotels are up to date; in fact many other advantages might be mentioned, but lack of space prevents. Rev. Mr. Schenck is now engaged in securing lecturers, and instruc tors, and as soon as he has the pro pram completed further notice of the arrangements will be published. Many prominent citizens and otl'icials of the state have been con ferred with relative to the movement nearly all of whom expressed their undoubted confidence in the success of the association, and many people have manifested their willingness to contribute ot their time and money to assure its permanoncy. There is a movement, on foot to change the state constitution so as to permit of yearly sessions of the Legislature. The proposition, it is saiil, is meeting with much favor in many parts of the stale and it is probable that it will he submitted at the next meeting of the Legislature for deliberation. Senator Penrose is quoted assaying: "1 ana decidedly in favor of annual sessions of the Legislature, provided they shall bo limited to, say ninety days. The biennial system has proven unsatis factory in many ways, and is open to grave objection on many grounds. To secure annual sessions of the Legislature, however, it. will be noces aary to change the state constitution which can only be done in one or two ways. There must be a con stitutional convention or else a con-, stitutional amendment must be pass ed by the Legislature, An effort was made to secure a constitutional convention in 1889, but tlio attempt was defeated. Whether a similar attempt made this year would be successful is a question. There is no doubt that a constitutional con vention is needed, not only to pro vide for yearly sessions of the legis lature, but to make other important alterations in the present constitu tion, Now is the time to get great ■===-MltlV. a At the closing ofit .vde of Spring and sunn ng GOODS i&S£SM Fall and Winter 1..
