i Tlio re-opouind of the Mahoning
Presbyterian church Sunday w.»s h n
event which wilt liuger a long while
in tlie memory of the good people of
that cougiegation. Heaven, indeed,
smiled anspioiously npnn the rededicn
tory and the memorial services, which
occupied pretty much the entire day.
The crisp autumn air was tempered by
the softest and most glorious sunlight
that ever stlearned oat of the blue
j depths above. The community seem
jed to take a deep interest in the ren-
I ovatiug and the re-opening of tlie
tine old church anl not only was the
I full membership of the Mahoning con
l gregation present, but also many per
sons belonging to other churches, not
ably members of the sister congrega
tion, the Grove Presbyterian church,
which :T< II m »tter of courtesy wai
closed daring the morning service.
By 10 :'JO o'clock every pew in the
large auditorium was filled.
After a prelude," Grande Offertorie"
the choir sang an authetn, "Glor
ia" with superb effect. Doxology
and invocation by the pastor, Rev. ,1.
E. lint bison, was followed b nspon
-lve reading and a hymn, when Rev.
Ii L. Stewart. 1). 1) , read the sciip
\ ture lesson, embracing portions of
j 12Jn I Psalm and also 12th chanter of
; Paul's Kpistle to the Romans. A so
prano solo, "Open tlie Gates of the
Temple," was rendered hv MKS Mar
-1 garet Ammrrmtn, after which Rev
William »McOormack, D I) , pastor
of the Grave Presbyterian clirocli,
offered parycr.
The rededicatory sermon wa« pr« ach :
. >d hy Rfv Robert B .lack, of Hazle
toil. He founded bis remarks on Kr.<
ra's prayer ana confession of sin*.
The text is fonn 1 in the iMh chapter
of Kzra. Sjh verse:
"And now for a little space grace
ha< h*en shewed I row the l.ord oor
Go! to leave ns a remnant to «-oape
anl to give a nail in His holy
t>lace, llist onr God mav lighten our
eyes and give ns a little reviving in
oor bondage. "
.Since the day* of ttieir fathers,
K»z« oont.-».-s»d, the feople of Israel
had N-en in tres|»ass and for their in
iqoities had they, tfieir kinc> and
tin it l» ■< n delivered to the

kIiFIMiS TO CLOSE

The School Hoard had a delicate
que si irn before it Monday and in
(•o ning to a d cision c insiderihle
time was spent. A petition, signed
by 110 pupils, was presented to the
Hoard asking that the schools ho clos
ed on Thursday to give the pupils an
opportunity to attend the Hlootnsbnrg
fair. Ii appeared that the de-ire was
general among the pupils of all the
SJIIOO'S to have a holiday granted
Thursday lor the above purpose and
that several of the direetois had Item
asked to bring the matter before Hie
School Hoard.
The Hoard seemed pretty evenly
divided on the question, some think
ing the holiday should be granted,
while other* took the view that the
precedent would he a had one at.d
that it was a matter of doubt whether
more than a small percent »g>» of the
pupils would, after all, attend the
fair. If M ined to he the sense that
thn-. pupils who wish to attend the
fair an >r liberty to do so,but should
i \:'p tt i hue their percentage. On
motion it was ordi red by a yea and
ii a v voie that the petition be laid on
the table.
Tin »nt Oilier Young presented his

siio.v.' t that titty pupils were oil the

for wait ot suitable clothing. Twen

DIITBRIiAK (IF RAIIIHS
I ho outbreak of hyrlrojiliohia on the
' # rm of H. L. Diolil, Hloom mart, has
caused something akin to constorna-
t 'on among the people of lhat locality
for ir is well known that in addition
to tho horse that went mad other
animals including one or more dogs
wore bitten by the rabirt dog which
caused the infection.
The dog was tl e one that was killed
by John VV ier on West Mahoning street
last March. Whatever donbt may have
existed at the time as to whether or
not the dog was afflicted with rabies
is now removed. Six months, it is
true, is a long interval, but there ap
pears to be no limit after nine days in
which rabies may not develop.
The appearance of the mad dog on
the farm of Mr. Dielil last March was
thrilling in the extreme. He belonged
to a farmer living only a short dis
tance 9way and ran amuck early in
the dav. After biting a dog belong
ing to Ralph Leigbcw he ran in at
Mr. Dielil's. Entering the barn he bit
a valuable bull Mid passing through
the barn vatd came actoss the faith
ful family horse that bad just been
led from the stall. The horse in a
friendly way put his nose down to
ward the dog, which quickly snapped
and inflicted a slight wound on the
horse near the mouth. Mr IJiehl ««<
busy in the barn and his children were
also playing ahoot. At first it did not
occur to him that the dog might he
mad After th<s brut* bit the boll Mr
Dielil attempted to drive him out of
the ham and unconscious of danger
approached mar rnonph to ki. k at
him.
After the horse waa bitten Mr Dielil
became -u-piciou« and followed the
dog down the road as far a« Henry
W ireman - While talking over the
matter here (lie dog came along and
-napi i d vicion-lv at Mr Wirnnan
