These visitations usual ly occur at intervals of about four years. The Bishop's visit to St Hubert's yesterday was signalized by the con firmation of a very large class.number ing 68 persons. The services ot the day, which were marked by a sermon from the Bishop,were very impressive and full of interest to the congrega tion. Bishop Shanahan said first mass and presided at the late mass. At first mass he preached a very effective ser inon on the "Good Pastor' referring to our Savior and Lord as a "Good Pastor" and showing from His ex ample what obligations and responsibi lities rest upon pastors, parents and teachers, who are responsible for the spiritual welfare and training of others. He especially impressed up on parents the necessity of personally looking after their children. They should take nothing for granted nor rest secure in the belief that their boy or girl is oue who is able to take care of himself or herself. Bishop Shanahan was assisted at confirmation by Rev. Father Huber, rector of St. Hubert's, and Rev. Father Feeaer, Chaplain of the Holy Familv convent. The choir rendered ■pecial music for the occasion. Ihe Bishop presided at Vespers and gave a benediction Sunday after the service. Bishop Shanahan is over fifty years of age Gentle and kindly in man ner, a man of excellent business quali ties, prudent and tactful he makes a very successful bishop. He arrived at Danville on Saturday eveuiug. After the services yesterday he paid a visit to the Holy Family convent. Pennsy Orders More Oars. Another big order for freight equip ment has been placed by the Pennsyl vania system as a precaution against a recurrence of the many freight troubles experienced during the past V«'ar. It •nnnnnool nflicinllv Saturday alternoon in the general offices of the line* west, that an order has been placed with the American Car and Foundry Oompanuy for over 2,20<> steel cars. Manv of the cars will be assigned to service on the di vision centering in Pittsburg on ac count of the gradual growth in traffic from that point. The order represents an expenditure of upwards of $1,500,- 000. All are constructed according to the standard dimensions of the Pennsyl vania system The placing of another order by the Pennsylvania Company iu view of the large number of freight cars yet to be delivered ou orders plac ed some time ago indicates clearly the intention of the Pennsylvania officials to guard against future diffi culties in the matter of equipment It is also the intention of the company to replace all wooden cars with ones of steel constructed as quicklv as the latter are received. By so doing it is possible to reduce the number of cars and at the same time increase the tonnage capacity. Died iu the South. Martin Wolf,a member of the North umberland County Bar, aged 2f> years, died at a hotel iu Southern Pines, North Carolina, Wednesday morning, A telegram was sent Monday by a doctor there to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wolf, the invalid's parents at Shamo kin, informing them that a member of the family should by all means be with him His mother departed for the south ou the Reading midnight train. He left several days ago expect ing to be benefitted by a visit to the health resort. Although rather weak from a lengthy stay iu Shamokiu.hav ing passed through a severe cold bordering on consumption, he was in good spirits when he departed for rl■. resort. He said he felt all right and no one need worry about him. En route he remained in Philadelphia to ■jieud a brief length of time with his brother, B A. Wolf, who was highly pleased when his brother said be was feeling so well. Shortly after reaching Southern Pines, he grew very weak, a doctor was summoned and medicine strength ened the patient somewhat He later was taken with a relapse, whereupon the telegram to bis parents was sent Splerdid Advertising Booklet.

The volume is one entitled "Journals of the House ot R presentatives, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Beginning the 28th Day ol November, 1776, and Ending the 2nd Day ot October, 1781, with the Proceedings of the Several Committees tud Conventions before and at the Commencement of the American Revolution. " The fly leaf of the book bears the autograph of William Montgomery with the date, November It!, 1782. The volume is a large one, containing 698 pages and aside from itsautiquity pos es an interest and a value as a com prehensive record of events which made up one of the most stirring epochs of our history. In the proceedings of the several conventions it is interesting to note the gradual change of sentiment from loyalty to King George to the Declara tion of Independence, which immortal document is printed in a matter of fact way with the other proceedings. Many episodes come to light in the old journals which never found their way into general history. It required a great deal of diplomacy on the part of the State to keep the Indians quiet, as many influences were brought to hear to induce them to depart from the policy of friendship adopted by their 1 Fathers. The representatives of the Indians were always present at the conven tions and the speeches recorded are very touching and beautiful both in language and sentiment. The white law makers in their pro testation- of friendship could uot out do the red men of the forest, while iu the matter of expressive, symbolical language, the latter certainly had the best of it. In 1776 a delegation of the Shaw anese Indians were present at Phila delphia. The following extracts will give an idea of the language employed in the interchange of sentiment: "Brethren! Listen to us! We have been much pleased to see our brothers the Shawauese among us and we hope that they are well satisfied with their visit to our town : They can tell you that we keep our roads open and clear from all bad weeds, briars and thorns. We hope that you will also be careful of your roads and not suffer the evil spirit to interrupt our ancient friend ship. To confirm our words we send by our brothers Wenthissica and Pel lawa this belt, which we desire you will show in council to all our Indian brctlnen of every nation " After which a present of twenty dollars to each was made and thankfully receiv ed by them. Following are extracts from speeches delivcri d by the Indian Chiefs at the Treaty at Easton in 1777. Thomas Paine, the great infidel, who had not yet written Ins "Ageof Reason," was secretary to the Commission. One of the Chiefs—Big Tree—said : "Brothers: In these troublesome times a great many birds will be fly ing about with tales to make mischief; nn even trie oirns, nowanays, lemu tu tilk English and even the trees and log- begin to tell talis but neither you nor we must mind what they say; we must remember old times and the old friendship which our fathers made to gether. " Brothers: We see many birds but they flv away ftom us and many deer, but they run away from us, for want of powd< rand lc ad to shoot them. We cannot lay out our money, because there is nothing to buy among us and we want some person to come and set tle among us who can sell these things to us." William Montgomery was a member of the Assembly during this period, hut it was in the days before he settl ed on the Susquehanna. He was then a representative from Chester county.

At the last meeting a committee of the tire company brought the matter before Council, which body referred it to the Building Committee. The tire company owns three horses which for the want of a more conveni ent barn are obliged to stable in the building ou Library avenue for merly occupied by Veterinarian Kline. With the horses stabled there, at a poiut so remote from the ••ugiue house it is impracticable to think of usiug them in case of a lire. The members, therefore are obliged to drag their hose wagons to the scene of the fire when one occurs, by hand, as in the days before they owned horses. They complain a great deal about this hardship, affirming that as s the town is situated, none of the other companies in so many instances, when fires occur, have so far to inn. [ They declare that they have spent a sum, not less thau seventeen hundred dollars, for horses, wagons and equip > ment along the same line, working • heroically until the last cent of in debtedness was paid off and now not to ; be able to pot the horses to practical use in times of fire, they declare is i too bad. ) They now want some assistance • from the Korough. A barn at the rear of the hose house on East Market i street such as they have in mind they declare could be built for about four s hundred dollars. With the horses i stabled there they could always have oue, drilled for the woik, idle in the stable ready tor use in case of fire.

I The visitors although heavier play ers were not able to keep up with the pace set by the home team and went down under the score of 21 to ti. Their over-whelming defeat wasdue to their poor fielding and inability to hit the home team pitchers. Among the features of the game was the playing of A.

Steam power made ever bigger factor ies profitable, and so cities grew as factories attracted the labor the agri cultural machinery released from the soil. From per cent, in IT'.lO, ; pi r cent, in I'.IOO of the people of the United States came to live m cities of 8,000 and over. These increasing cities masses raised many new social prob loins and foreshadowed radical changes in education and ■ v< n in gin ernment. There is evidence, however, that this movement to the city has passed its high mark in tins country. The rate of growth of cities id' 25,00(1 and over between 1890 and I'.IOO was hard ly half what it was between ISSO and 181(0. The cities in the last decade grew more rapidly than the country at large, but not so fast as thev had grown formerly. New industrial forces appear to he checking the relative growth of cities These new forces are ol two kinds. First, it has been found that many manufactures, especially of the higher grades demanded by increasing gener al wealth, are Letter done by small forces under close personal super triuiof) tliuu by forocf which onu not be so directed. Second, electrical invention has made it possible to take tho power to the worker instead of bringing the worker to tho power. It has helped to make it possible to bring the pro duct of the small shop to market at as low cost per unit as the product of the great shop. As a result there is a general ten dency to divide factories physically, though they remain under central financial control. That this tendency exists is proved by the cheek in the relative growth ot cities. Factories brought together made rapid city growth. Factories scattered out are checking city growth. It would thus appear that the indus trial forces which made great cities and their problems aie likely,by their new direction, to lielp greatly in the solution of those problems. The gieal city, which to some seemed likely to absorb all power, is receiving a salutary balance by the growth of smaller groups of population. Steam, by centralizing industry, made the nineteenth century pre-em inently the era of the city. Electric ity, by centralizing industry, physi cally at least, promises to make the twentieth century the era of the small town. —Chicago Inter-Ocean Marvelous Writing Feat.

The Thirty-seventli National En campment, Grand Army of the Repub lie, which is to lie held in San Fran cisco, during the week commencing August 17th, l!Mi:(, in destine'! to bo come one of the most notable gather ings—in point of numbers, niagnitic enee and splendor—in the history of California, as well as in tl >■ annals ot the fraternity. The people of San Francisco, and of all California, tui 1 > appreciating the fact that these veter aus may never again gather in an Kn campment on the shores of the Pacific, will exert every effort to make this Encampment the most memorable in the history of the G. A. R. No other organization holds the affection of the people as does the one composed of the veterans, the defenders of the Union, of liberty and The veterans residing in California and Nevada ar ranged the preliminaries for the En campment, but all the people of Cali fornia and of the Pacific coast are en thusiastic on that topic now, wonting hand in hand with the committees to make this Encampment eclipse all former fraternal gatherings. From the Governor of the State to the bum blest citizen,every one is imbued with the idea that San Francisco and Cali fornia must give the veterans tin most rousing welcome they have ever had Merchants, manufacturers, farmers and miners, all are eager to make the visit of the veterans a pleasant and a memorable one. They are determined to show the visitors the famed beauties of this Western Wonderland, which must be seen to be appreciated. Kroni every county and section of tile State the choicest products will be brought to San Francisco, and placed on ex hibition, that the visitors may feast their eyes upon them. Carloads of fruit—the most delicious in the world - fruit-bearing trees, the giants ot the California forests, and other wonders that have made the Golden State famous,will be on exhibition through out the city for the benefit of those who cannot visit every section ot the State. The famous gardens of Santa Clara, Marin, Sonoma, Alameda, Con tra Costa and other adjaceut Counties will furnish the material for the grandest floral display ever seen. Quartz and hydraulic milling will be demonstrated on miniature mines, and oil wells are to be bored in the city, in sight of the visitors. The electrical display and the il luminatious are to surpass even those which made San Francisco famous during tin* Knights of Pythias En campment in lIHW, anil were consider ed the finest ever seen It will be the grandest sight to behold tin vast hosts of the veterans marching through the sheets of San * raucisco, beneath a canopy of flowers, and under gtrluud* and domes woven of myriads of incan de cent electric lights, turning night into day and making the scene one of fairyland. For the illumination and the decoration, though much of it is owned by (he city and is given free of :ost, and the flowers are donated, the legislature has appropriated $25,000 i'or that purpose, and the citizens ex pect to raise three times as much by voluntary contribution, to defray the cost of dressing the city in holiday garb. The climate is the most agreeable that can ho imagined; the tempera ture the year round is mild and pleas ant. In August, with no rain, the thermometer registers 65 to 75 degrees, rarely a degree more or less, whether mid-day or midnight. Two hundred thousand visitors can easily be accom modated in the city at one time, and have been comfortably housed on two former occasions. Living in San Francisco is cheaper than in any large city in the Union, and it is good liv ing at that. Fruit and vegetables grow in abundance the year round , there is no cold, hot, nor an off-season in California. Iu August fruit can be bought from any street vender,enough for five cents to feed a family. Meat is plentiful and cheap,and of the very best quality. Rooms, good, clean,com fortable rooms, may be had in the residence part of the town at 50 cents to $1 per night, or $3 to $7 per week. All the hotels, lodging, boarding and apartment houses, have agreed to charge the regular rates during the Encampment. The railroad rates are the lowest for that occasion in the history of trans continental traffic, and will include traveling ovei either route, coming and returning, with many side trips at a nominal cost.
