The live ' ill belonged to Dowle'* church, and tlmi lielieved In the "gift of tongues' and in the po*»e*sion of the body y evil spirit*. The old woman, who w i* the mother of two of the per son* w ho tortured her, wa* an invalid and had suffered from paralysis and rheumatism twenty years. No doubt she was a burden to them and taxed their patleuce when her helpless con dition did not appeal to their compas tion. not to mention filial duty. One of the quintette recently had a "vis ion'' in which he was commanded to stop working and to cast out devils. That was the natural order of things, fot the religious faker doesn't work. The five believers in babbling nod de mouianism undertook to east out the devil that possessed the old woman. They shook and twisted her rheumatic litubs. regardless of her shrieks of agony, and she died. It is almost unbelievable that his could happen in the United States. But the lakirs and the gullible and the -uperstitous are found everywhere. Mauy i man who geeks divine light is led astray by the wicked and design ing, or by his own imperfect under standing. The human heart needs the support of strengthening religion, and it is a pity that so often it makes fatal mistakes and is betrayed where it most willingly believes. If a man read the Scriptures carefully he will escape the snares of the faker#. But they are little read ; and when read, little un derstood because the reading is, in large measure, perfunctory. Woman Suffrage. Ida Husted Harper, in the North American Review,declares that though there lias been the longest and hardest struggle for woman suffrage in the United States,the success ol' the effort lias been small, and it is the oulv civilized couutry where women have been left to fight this battle alone, with no moral, financial or political support from the men, and that Am erica may be the last nation to grant woman a voice in their own govern ment. In her review of woman suff rage, the above writer notes that in New Zealand women have had the full-franchise since 1893. All the Australian states except Victoria have conferred the State franchise oil women, and women have full federal -stiffrage and the right to sit in the federal parliament. lu the summary on Australia we'read : "At some elections not only a larger per centage but actually a larger number of women than of men have voted. Last year in Tasmania women out numbered the men at every polling station It is also everywhere appan ent that they have aroused the men to a new sense of their political duty." In the Danish colony of Icelaud widows aud spinsters who are house holders or who maintaiu a family or themselves have a right to vote for parish and town councils and district boards and visitors aud are eligible for election to all the offices for which they can vote. In Finland women have the full franchise and the office-holding rights of men, including the right, to sit in parliament. lu Norway women who pay taxes on property to the value of $75 in the country and sl.lO in the cities were admitted to the municipal franchise in 1901 and made eligible to serve in the common councils. Later the par liamentary franchise was granted to all who pay taxes on an income of SB4 in the country and $11") in the cities. "Wives can vote on their husband's income, and even domestic servants will have an income large enough to entitle them to vote." It is expected that the concessions already made, will soon result in the abolition of the property qualification and the admis sion of women to the polls on the same terms with men. Iu Sweden widows and single wo men and married women who pay taxes on their own property have the municipal franchise on the same terms as men. Some form of women suffrage is en joyed iu all the provinces of Canada, and in CJreat Britain women have the rigth to participate in local elections.

Parcels Post. Oue thing i* reasonably certaiu.aud that is that the nest Congress will have to deal seriously with the pro posal for a parcels post. This is a thing that has been ooming for a long time and the present Postmaster Gen eral has it firmly fixed in his mind that it will be a good thing. For the general public, it unquestionably will and the general public, after all, is what the government is erroneously supposed to cater to. The man in the street can figure that life would be a good djal happier it'he could send lour pounds anywhere through the mail for two cents. as ho can in many foreign countries and conld increase this amount up to ten pounds at propor tional rates. The opposition first of all will come from the express com panies. They have never been forced to meet anything like this sort of com- petition and they will fight the par cels post to its passage as they have always doue. But there will be anoth er source of opposition, aud the plaint of this class of people will be a good deal better worth listening to than that of the rich express corporations. The opposition will come from the small store keepers of the country who will not be able to compete wit Tithe immense department stores of the big cities if the country resident can write au order to town aud do shopping at an expense of half a cent a pound In the countries where the parcels post is iu vogue, the department store is not developed to anything like the ex tent that it is in all good sized Ameri can cities Yet the city store iu these : countries absorbs n large proportion of what the couutry store considers its legitimate trade. The coming of such ; cheap transportation means quite a readjustment iu the scheme of Ameri can life and business but at the same time it is a development that will have to be seriously considered during the coming winter. PRESIDENT ENDS MIS SUNRIER VACATION OYSTER BAY, N. Y , Sept 25. President Roosevelt began his jour ney to Washington at 10 o'clock this morning, thus briuging to an end-his summer vacation which has continued since June 12. The trip is being made by special train to Long Island City, around the lower end of New York city by a tug boat and from Jersey City to Wash ington in the special train ou which the President will make his western trip, which begins at Washington next Sunday. Mrs. Roosevelt. Miss Ethel and Quentin accompany the President, the other children being at 'school. Two express cars loaded with the Presi dent's horses and stable equipment preceded the special out of Oyster Bay that they might be made part of the train at Jersey City. A heavy rainstorm all day Monday in the Schuylkill valley caused a rise in the river and its tributaries and low places were badly flooded.

TWO NEW CITIZENS The oarh of citizenship was ndmi'i , ister'-d to Isaac Stein and Siduey George Cannard. Both men were plac ed upon the stand where they were rigidly examined as to the causes which induced them to leave their respective native countries as well as to their knowledge of the United States, its form of government, &o. Each candidate showed that he was well qualified and the oath of citizen ship was accordingly administered by Prothonotary Vincent.

Lyon Tuesday evening, returned a verdict of "not guilty." The jury was impaneled Monday even ing aud the hearing of testimony be gan Tuesday morning and occupied over four hours The sensational nature of the case was sufficient to attract a large audi i ence to the court room. Before pro -1 ceeding with examination of witnesses Judge Evans ordered the court room : cleared of ail boys and girls under 1 eighteen years of age excepting those I present s witnesses, which order was i j strictly carried out by the court offic- 1 ers. There still remained in the court room as the trial progressed some fif ; teen women, uot called as witnesses. Annie Gill, the child upon whom the wroug is alleged to have been com mitted, was called to the stand. Her testimony in the main was very re- i volting and unfit for publication. The witness said she was 12 years of age. On two different occasions according to tlio child's testimony she met the ! defendant on the hill north of town ! near the old Catholic cemetery One of these occasions was during the fore -1 noon of the. Saturday preceding Me- 1 morial day aud the other during the I forenoon of Saturday, Auugst 3rd. i i The witness was on the stand for near ly an hour and was rigidly cross-ex- 1 amined.

The bill ns Introduced by Senator Cochran was a ridiculous farce, and if passed in that shape and approved by the governor it n«ver could have been put Into operation. One million dol lars appropriation was called for, but no provision was made whatever for the machinery to put the law Into mo tion. Sheatz's Conscientious Work. "The bill passed the senate, went to the house and was referred to the ap propriations committee, of which I was a member Mr. Sheatz, the chairman of th* committee, realized that the sen ate was engaged In a game of buncome set to work and for three weeks labor ed to whip the bill Into shape. He called to his aid the auditor general and General Mtilholland, of Philadel phia, the pension expert. Thorough calculations were made as to the amount of money that would be neces sary to pay the pensions, and plans for a state pension bureau, under the charge of the auditor general were de veloped, with the necessary corps of clerks "Through Oeneral Mulholland, from the best obtainable figures, it was learned that about 68.000 were likely to apply for pensions and that the average to each would amount to $82.50 That made It necessary to ap propriate J5.674.000 to cover the 15 months until the new legislative ap propriation becomes available. Let Truth Be Known. "The amounts fixed by the house ap propriation committee were carefully figured, and Mr. Sheatz worked earnestly and faithfully to make a sane and correct measure out of the farce passed by the senate. Governor Stuart, in my hearing, declared that he surely would have vetoed the bill as It came from the senate, and that the house had made a thorough bill of It and that he intended to approve It If there was revenue enough "The house of representatives also passed a number of revenue bills which would have produced sufficient funds to pay the pensions to old soldiers, but Senator Cochran's colleagues in the senate killed every one of them, and that was the reason the governor ve toed the pension bill. "John O. Sheatz acted fairly and squarely with the veterans. He was their best friend and labored In their behalf, while Senator Cochran trifled with a sentiment to play politics. "Mr. Sheatz did his duty honestly and conscientiously, and has nothing to fear from the result of any examina tion made Into its record. Other Legislators Speak Out. Representatives Andrew J. Pfaff and John R. Gillette, City Party members of the house from this city, and Rep resentative Robert P. Habgood, of Mc- K*an county, are among others \rho have given public declarations that the charges that Mr. Sheatz did not work fairly in the Interests of the old sol dlnrs are absolutely false and mall cleus. Representative Gillette, among othei things, said. "The nomination of Hon.

Tk« gocd sense of tke party has prevailed and a more logical candidate could nol have been named. Taking into con sideratlon the exigencies of the situa tion, the nomination was a master stroke, and all factions of the Repub lienn pirty can have no further reason at this time for remaining outside th* breastworks. "There is absolutely no trutk in the campaign charges that Mr. Sheats If not a friend of the old soldier*. I say this with knowledge of hta work at Harrlsburg in their Interests."

Although the party visited the Jamestown exposition and found much to interest them there,yet. the trip was undertaken principally for tlio pur rose of finding, if possible, the grave of Mrs. lioat's brother, Lloyd Marks, who died while in the service just af ter the surrender of Lee. Nothing was known of the young sol dier's grave aud the manner of his burial by the relatives in the nortli. Indeed, it was not until after the ex. piration of 0119 year that it was learn ed for a certainty that be was dead Up to the present visit the relatives here were uncertain whether he was sleeping in one of the cemeteries or, like thousands of others, had been buried somewhere with the unknown dead in a trench. Lloyd Marks grew to mauhood at Roaring Creek post office, Columbia county. Along with George W. Koat he enlisted in the 188 th Regiment P. V.. Third Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery and served nearly throughout the war. Mr. Roat aud family in their search visited the National cemetery at Hampton, Va. Without much effort they were successful iu finding the grave aud were furnished with com plete records relating to his death,&c. His grave, which is near the center of that beautiful cemetery, is marked with a stone on which is engraved hi» fj 11 niiiue, number, &c., all attesting to the remarkable care that since the close of the Rebellion the government has bestowed 011 the graves of its fall eu heroes.
