Tho sixth annual meeting of the Peunsvlvania German Society will bo held at tho hall of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, I'lOO Lo cust street, Philadelphia, on Thurs day, October 15th. Tho headqtiur ters of the society will bo the Colon nade Hotel. There will bo several interesting historical papers read and iu tho evening there will bo it reception given by tho Historical Mtipiutl rl'tiu itinrmniT'u u.uuiin u'ltl bo devoted to business and hearing reports. Tho Toboyno correspondent of tli Perry couuty Freeman says : "There nre two strangers digging in A. C. Willhide's orchard for hidden treasures, supposed to bo secreted there by a peddler years ago, who afterward sailed to Germauy and there diod. These men dig only at night, and while at their work do not speak to any one, their cuppo sition being that if a word be spok en the treasure will disappear. There is quite a crowd of boys on the ground whilo the men ure at work." While Mr. Bryan was quoting from so many eminent men, living and dead, by some mischauce he omited this one from Senator Stew art in the Senate ou February 11, 1S71, which, von will observe, was a year under the "crime of '73": "Lot us do as all the people of tho world have been doing from the beginning measure our values iu gold. I want the gold standard, and no pa per not redeemable in gold. Gold is the universal standard of the world. Everybody kuows what a gold dollar is worth." WHAT GOOD WILL IT DO ? miniiy n. ii.i-Kwm.i. or boimn. What good will it do for women to vote? The good will bo three fold ) it will bo good foi' wonioii, for men, and good for Uio State. Good for women : "Self preserva tion is tho first I iw of nat ure." Ev ery class that votes instinctively represents its own tastes, nrincinles. opinions, and interests. Women uro a class of American citizens. Thev have special wrongs to protect anil speid wrongs to leuiedv. Thev look at tho world nnd nt human life from a distinct nnd separate poiut of view, which men do not and cannot take. As single women they have the satuo interests as other citizens have in good Govei ninent and iu the supremacy of law and order. As wives, mother, and wid ws they have special personal interests, and those interests are not altogether identical with those of husbands, fathers, nnd widows. Those dif ferences neod tj bo emphasized and expressed by votes. Manhood suffrage is class legislation, and class legislation is always unfair. Womeu never have ha I ami probably never will havo wise, just, sympathetic legislation, until they themselves form a part of tho lawmaking power. Womon as voters will bo moro re spected than ever before, for power always commands respect. Oood for men : Whilo men aro the natural protectors of womon from tho difficulties, dingers and privations growing out of their loss er physical force and ncossary pre occupation in tho euro of infancy and childhood, women are the natur al protectors f mon against reck less exposure, excessive toil, and uu governed appetites and pissions. As voters they will bo tho loyal and ap preciative comrades of men in every effort to attuiu greater social justice and more general well being. In politics nnd legislation, us in every other legitimate form of bocial ac tivity. "it is not well for men to b.i alone." "Two heads are butter than one." Good for the State : The State id only an aggregation of homes. A Republican Statu implies a Republi can family. No happy and prosper ous Statu can exist without happy and prosperous homes. No happy and contented homes can exist with out happy and contented wives, mothers, sisters and daughters. No sou can bo well-boi u or well bred except where mothers have been free tuid lf respecting. Womeu of public spirit, or mental breadth and comprehension, self centred and self reliant, will rear sons and daughters who will serve their country and "make the world better." In Wy oming, where women havo voted for twenty-seven years, there is a small er proportion of divorces than in any other Western State. Domestic trunquillity is iu inverse ratio to domestic despotism. When women vote, marriage will become a lifo long partnership of equals with re ciprocal right and duties iu the home and in the State. His Death a Mystery. Tho sudden death of Lincoln Ren ninger, ullusion to which we made iu last week's Post, is still shrouded in mystery It was generally con- ceded that ins death was duo to ex cessive drinking. He was found dead iu John Spinirler's stable. When George Stetler. the undertak er, aiul Elmer Musser were placing the body into the colhu, iriduv morning, thev noticod that the head moved arouud so ireeiy and gavo rise to the suspicion that the neck was broken or dislocated. Di'. Broucht was summoned to make an examination, but it was impossible tc do this while thecorpso was in the coffin and it was then time for tho funeral. The funeral services were conducted at the graveyard and tho body was removed from tho grave yard and put at the residence of John Moyer, Jr. The services were conducted afterward at tho Luther an church where Rev. McLain preached tho sermon. Deceased was aged 30 years, 3 mouths uud M days. Iu the afternoon at tho request of the dead man's father, Drs. B. F. Wngousoller qnd H. S. Broucht ex amined tho body and even cut the neck open to bo sure that they would reach a correct conclusion. The physicians declare that there was no fracture iu tho neck nnd no dislocation. This leaves the cause of his death iu doubt. The Hour Flxril. The following decidedly original church notice was found tacked on a rural church door: "Notice There will be preaching in this house. Providence permitting Sunday t and there will be preaching whether or no, on the Monday following, upon the subject: "He that bolieveth and is baptised shall be saved, and be that believeth not shall bo damn ed at half past three in the afternoon."
