OVER THE IL O.
The Excursion from Her. to Ohio l'yle
Falls on June 19th Under the Auspices
of the Younit Men's Christian Associa
tion,
For some time there has been a great
amount of interest taken in the prepara
tions for the grand excursion to Ohio Pyle
Falls over the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
under the auspices of the Young Men's
' Christian Association.
The success with which the excursions
—this being tbe fifth annual one—in the
past have met is an assurance that the
contemplated trip will be a most enjoya
ble one. The date, too. meets with favor,
for at no other time do the beauties of na
ture appear to better advantage than in
the month of rosci. The date of the ex
cursion is Thursday, June 19th.
Ohio Pyle Falls is situated on the main
, line of the Pittsburgh division of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. It is in east
> ern Fayette county in the midst of a region
of unequalled beauty. Picturesque scen
ery abounds on every hand, and it affords
a most pleasant place for a day's retreat
from tl:e busy hum of city life.
As a Committee of Entertainment
Messrs. M. E. Bennett, F. D, Jolly, P. A.
Cobaugh, W. 11. Ilildebrand. R. J. Hum
phreys, Jacob Murdock. R. L. Annkin, and
A. G. Uteclit, have been chosen, which in
sures a success of that feature of the ex
pedition.
Games and amusements will be pro
vided for all, while those who wish to try
their luck at angling can take their tackle
with them.
There are acres of the wild and delight
ful picnic grounds, while there are many
special natural points of interest, among
which are the Falls, the Cliff or Lovers'
Leap (as a matter of course, no summer
• resort is complete without it—Lovers'
Leap), Prospect Hill, Devil's Den, Dean
" and Fulton Springs, and Cucumber Falls.
Visitors can examine these localities and
inspect the changing scenery and wonder
ful natural formations with pleasure and
profit, viewing as they will Nature's grand
and unaccountable transformations in
all their beauty unc glory. The
healthfulness of this locality is unex
celled. the atmosphere pure and invigo
rating, and the nights always delightfully
cool. Those dwelling in our cities who,
rom force of circumstances, are com
pelled to inhale odors arising from filthy
sewers, dirty streets and badly ventilated
premises, should make it a point to visit
Ohio Pyle during the hot season to recu
perate their impaired and broken consti
tutions.
Ample accommodations for the enter
tainmeut of those who do not wish to take
baskets with them will be afforded by the
Fern Cliff Hotel, which has every facility
for the comfort of visitors. It is but a
short distance from the station and is
erected upon the highest knoll in the
vicinity, surrounded by a beautiful lawn>
flanked by forest, river, and mout tain
ridge, wide, finaly laid-out walks, decorf
ated grounds and shaded retreats.
Adequate arrangements have been
made by the management for the main

ORIGINAL PACKAGES.
Silverman'* Trial at Kit tunning—'The Evi
dence Presented Against the Defendant.
KITTANNJXG, PA., June 12.— The case
of the Commonwealth against Charles
Silverman, the Leecbburg "original
package " man, was called for trial in the
Armstrong county Quarter Sessions lliis
morning.
Great care was exercised in select
ing a jury, and the case is being fought
inch by inch.
Silverman is indicted for violating the
general license law of Pennsylvania in
selling without license, selling to miuors
and to persons of known intemperate
habits.
Only a portion ot the Commonwealth's
case is in, but the evidence so far shows
that Charles Silverman, a resident of Alle
gheny county, Pa., bought a car of lager
beer to Leechburg. a prohibition town by
special act of Assembly ; that he engaged
a room, stored it, and sold It generally,
and that he had a wagon and distributed
it.
The evidence also shows that the boer
was in eight or sixteen gallon kegs,
stamped witli Government stamps, and
that the kegs were branded " Cincinnati
Brewing Company, Hamilton, O. It was
also disclosed that the minors got beer off
this wagon, carried it away and helped to
drink it, when other persons had paid for
it. In one or two eases minors had given
Silverman money for beer and afterwards
he returned their money stating they were
not old enough,
When the Court took a recess at noon
the commonwealth was trying to prove
the sale to men of intemperate habits.
Considerable interest is taken in the
case, and there is some speculation as to
the action Judge Ray burn will take, after
the suggestion in the opinion of the
United States Circuit Court on the habeas
corpus.
The case presents new features from
the lowa case, because in Pennsylvania
there is a license law which provides fir
the sale of liquors and this may make a
novel legal question.
A three-story brick and stone building
of the Bank of Piedmont, Ala., nearly
finished, was destroyed by a cyclone
Monday. A white man and a negro
at work on the building were fatally in
jured.
TO PASS A DISABILITY PENSION BILL.
The Houxe Recedes From Its Position 011
the Service Clause.
WASHINGTON, June 12.— The House was
compelled to recede from its position on
the service clause of the pension bill
which has been the bone of contention in
the conference for several weeks. The
Senate conferees were so positive in their
antagonism on this point that the House
members were compelled, in order to ob
tain a bill, to yield. The "pauper" or
dependent clause is therefore eliminated.
The law as now passed becomes a disa
bility measure and though not entirely
acceptable to the soldier clement of the
House is taken as the best that could be
obtained under the eircumstances, The
bill allows a pension ranging from $6 to
sl2 a month to all ex-soldiers, their
widows, minor children and dependent
parents. The clause providfng that the
beneficiary should make oath to his dis
ability was stricken out at the conference.
Under the provisions of the bill it is not
necessary for a pension that the disability
should have been contracted in the army.
Representative Pichler, of North Dakota,
said to-day that an old soldier may have
been kicked by a mule or lost a limb
through any accident, he is entitled to a
pensi ">n under this act. It is estimated
that the bill will cost the nation about
thirty-eight millions per year.
STILL AFTEK VICE PRESIDENT MOR
TON.
The Reformed Presbyterian Synod De
cides That His Profit From the Sale of
Liquor is Indirect.
NEW YORK, June 12. —At yesterday's
session of the Reformed Presbyterian
synod the Rev. T. H. Acheson, of Hop
kinton, la., called attention to the edi
torial comments of the press on the re
port of the Committee on Temperance in
which it was asserted that Vice President
Morton derived a portion from the sale of
liquor in the property which he owns or
controls. The reverend gentleman then
suggested that the report be amended,
unless it was strictly accurate. Dr. Mc-
Allister, of Pittsburgh, said that it was
certainly true that the Vice President
rented his property in Washington for a
purpose which the moral sense of the na
tion condemned. The Rev. R.J.George,
of Beaver Falls, claimed that Mr. Morton
derived a direct profit from the sale of
wine on his property. O Demotion of Rev.
Dr. Stevenson, of Philadelphia, the re
port of the committee was amended so as
to read '• Derives a profit indirectly " from
the sale of liquors. This seemed sat
isfactory, and there were no dissenting
votes.
The Bankruptcy Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 12. —Speaker Reed
has agreed to give the Judiciary Commit
tee one day next week, either Tuesday or
Wednesday, for the consideration of the
so-called Torrey bankruptcy bill.
The representatives of the National
Bankruptcy Convention are doing effective
work in the interest of the bill. They
have organizations in every State of the
Union, and so have been able to bring
influence to bear upon the members of
the House.
A canvass of the House shows that they
have a majority for the bill, but they feel
it necessary to keep up their work.
There is an understanding that the meas
ure will be taken up in the Senate as soon
as it passes the House, and that friends of
the measure have no uneasiness as to the
treatment it will receive at that wing of
the Caitol.
Indian Outbreak in Montana.
HELENA, MONT, June 12.— Governor
Toole received a dispatch signed by ten
prominent citizens of Miles City request
ing that he send one thousand stand of
arms and ammunition. In reply arms
and ammunition were forwarded in
charge of Col. C. O. Curl is. The Chey
eunes have lift their regular camps, ar-d
are gathering in small camps from fifteen
to twenty-live, and are firing at settlers'
houses and making the most threatening
demonstrations.
Ranchmen are bringing their families
into the settlement. Cattle are being shot
down by the Indians through pure malice,
as no parts of the animals are used for
beef. Eighteen cattle were shot in one
bunch on Otter creek. One troop of cav
ulry and two of infantry have been sent
from Ft. Iveogii to the Cheyenne agency.
Convention of Episcopalians.
WILLIAMSI'ORT, PA., June 12. —The

and six missions, and the convention,
with clerical and lay delegates, has about
200 members.
Two Girls Struck l>y Lightning.
TAUAQUA, Pa.. June 12. —Last evening
lightning struck the house of Magistrate
Thomas R. Williams, at Laosford, in.
stantly killing May Williams,aged 8 years,
a grand-daughter of Mr. Williams, and so
badly injuring Lizzie Jones, of Mahanoy
City, a little girl of about the same age,
that her recovery is doubtful. The house
was struck on the side, but little damage
was done to it.
Encampment of the National Guard.
WASHINGTON, June 12.— Adjutant Gen

onel Elliott, of the Pennsylvania State
Militia, arrived last evening for the pur
pose of inviting the President, the Secre
tary of War and the General of the Army
to attend the encampment of the National

The Louisiana Lottery Company only
needs four votes in the Lower House to
secure the necessary two-thirds vote, to
pass a bill favorable to a continuance of
the lottery in that State. The Senate
is reported by the lottery people as all
right.
The greater portion of the cedar tele
graph poles used by the Western Union
Company came from Michigan. From
forty to two hundred men and nearly
forty teams are employed in gathering
the poles and putting them in proper
shape. The poles range from twenty-six
to i-ixty feet in length, and are worth
from $1 to $7 each.
Recently, at the request of the Bonrd
of Education, of Warren, Pa., Prof.
August Morck examined the eyes of the
pupils of the Warren schools to ascertain
to what extent they were troubled with
defective vision. He has made his re
port. in which he states that out of
539 scholars, 100 showed some defect of
vision of some disease of the eye.
A useful attribute of paper not gener
ally known is for preserving ice in a
pitcher of water. Fill the pitoher with
ice and water and set it on the center of
a piece of paper; then gather the paper
up together at the top and place the ends
tightly together, placing a strong rubber
band around the coil to hold it close, so
as to exclude tlie air. A pitcher of ice
water treated in this manner has been
known to stand over night with scarcely
a perceptible melting of the ice.
Plielpv lor Congres#.
WASHINGTON, D. (J., June 12.—1t is
stated upon good authority that William
Walter Phelps, Minister to Germany, will
resign his position and run for Congress
in his old Patterson, N. J., district. There
are so many broad-gauged Republicans
who will drop out of Congress that the
party will find itself badly handicapped.
It is understood that the Republican Na
tional Leaguers are appiehensive for the
Paterson district, but are confident Willie
Wallie and his bangs cau carry the dis
trict.

Success of Obeaism In Trinidad.
One circumstance to which I mo it al
lnde happened during my stay at Trini
dad, and with it I will close the subject
of Obeaism. Just before Christmas, in
1888, a negro child was kidnaped. The
authorities instituted an investigation,
which led to the discovery of the child's
skeleton, and one or two negroes who
were supposed to be connected with the
deed were arrested. Kidnaping children
often takes place at Christmas in spite
of the vigilance of the government, and
it is done either by Obea men or in ac
cordance with their commands. The
child that has been confiscated (and in
the particular case to which I refer it
was captured in broad daylight, at 3
o'clock in the afternoon) is taken to a se
cluded place and murdered. Some of the
entrails are removed, the heart, spleen,
etc., and a mngio mixture is made with
mystical herbs.
By distilling or drying a powder re
sults, which is given to one of the racing
horses, and this is supposed to give the
horse the {tower to win the coming race.
I have no doubt that this does influence
the result of the race, for the jockeys on
the other horses, who are negroes, are so
convinced that they will not win, for
they cannot hope to beat an enchanted
horse, that they will not exert themselves
as they otherwise would have done. This
great power of the imagination is, in my
opinion, the great factor in the success of
Obeaism, for if a man knows that Obea
has been worked upon him his imagina
tion will do all the rest that is necessary.

Danger of (ran and Geywr Bailis.
As is well known, the geyser bath is an
ordinary bath with a geyser attached to
it. The geyser is a kind of urn, gener
ally standing on the edge of the bath,
into which the cold water from the
main runs over plates heated by a series
of gas burners, which are contained in
itself, and then runs out at the other
side into the bath at a given uniform
heat. At a meeting of the Balloon so
ciety of Great Britain, one of the mem
bers gave a sad experience with the gas
bath. His son had entered a bathroom
provided with the geyser apparatus, and
half an hour afterward was found in
the water dead, suffocated by the deadly
gas generated by the bunsen burners.
Tlie society was so impressed by the
facts adduced that it passed the follow
ing resolution : " That this meeting is
of opinion, in view of the many fatal ac
cidents that have arisen by gas and gey
ser baths, due to a want of a more inti
mate knowledge of tlieir nature, that the
time lias now come when the possibility
of further fatalities should be avoided."
They further submit to the secretary of
state a presentment with the view of
compelling the makers to stamp into the
metal work of the apparatus these "di
rections for use." Caution —The bath
must be filled while the room is being
ventilated, and before closing tho door.
When filled, turn off gas and water.
The bath must on no account be entered
" until this is done."—New York Com

To liaise Church Debts.
"Some of these fine churches of your
city that are struggling under loads of
indebtedness, incurred in periods of ex
traordinary fervor and hopefulness,"
said a Philadelphian visiting New York,
"might be relieved more quickly, per
haps, than they otherwise will if then
trustees would learn a lesson from one
of our boards. It struggled on for a
great number of years, paying interest
on a big mortgage, but never succeeding
in making any appreciable reduction of
the principal. Meanwhile the neighbor
hood, which had once been fashionable,
deteriorated steadily, and most of tlie
rich members of the congregation moved
away. It began to look as if the interest
even could not be met, when a wide
awake woman suggested that the parish
go into business for itself and make
enough money to pay its own debts. A
lodging house—cheap, but clean, really
clean —was opened, and tho innovation
was startling alike to church members
and lodgers. It was well patronized
from the start and proved a paying in
vestment. Enlargement soon became
necessary, and the debt on the church
began to disappear, slowly it is true,
but steadily, and tho prospect of its total
erasure seems certain." —New York Trib

The Kiml She Wanted.
Katie lives in the suburbs of Boston,
and her small head is not infrequently
badly mixed upon things that relate to
the difference between the ways of the
town where she lives and the ways of
Boston. She has always a great scorn,
however, for having things different
from city fashions, and this shows itself
in the most unexpected ways.
Not long ago a traveling photographer
came aloug and established himself not
far from her father's house, and her
mother decided to improve the oppor
tunity to have some pictures of the chil
dren taken.
"Come, Katie," she said one morning,
after it had all been talked over before
the child, who had made no comment
whatever, "go to nurse and get on your
things and come with baby and me to
have your tintypes taken."
But Katie drew back.
"No, mamma, dear," she said, gravely;
"if you will excuse me, I won't have any
tintypes taken. I'll wait, if you please,
till you can take me to town and get a
real telegraph of me."—Youth's Com

Several Kinds of Mothers.
The mother represented the family
sovereignty; the father was seldom seen,
and he counted for little or nothing
among the outside boys. It was the
mother who could say whether a boy
might go fishing or in swimming, and
she was held a good mother or not ac
cording as she habitually said yes or no.
There was no other standard of goodness
for mothers in the boy's world, and
could be none; and a bad mother might
be outwitted by any device that the
other boys could suggest to her boy.
Such a boy was always willing to listen
to any suggestion, and no boy took it
hard if the other fellows made fun when
their plan got him into trouble at home.
If a boy came out after some such ex
perience with his face wet, and his eyes
red, and his lips swollen, of course you
had to laugh; he expected it, and you
expected him to stone you for laughing.
When a boy's mother had company,
he went and hid till the guests were
gone, or only came out of concealment
to get some sort of shy lunch. If the
other fellows' mothers were there, he
might be a little bolder, and bring out
cake from the second table. But he had
to be pretty careful how he conformed
to any of the usages of grown up society.
A fellow who brushed his hair, and put
on shoes, and came into the parlor when
there was company, was not well seen
among the fellows; he was regarded in
some degree as a girl boy; a boy who
wished to stand well with other boys
kept in the wood shed, and only went in
as far as the kitchen to get things for his
guests in the back yard. Yet there were
mothers who would make a boy put on
a collar when they had company, and
disgrace him before the world by mak
ing him stand round and help; they
acted as though they had no sense aud
no pity; but such mothers were rare.—

Japanese Bookmaklng.
Having resolved to "paint" a book,
for the Japanese use a brush and not a
pen, the author betakes himself to his
workroom. It is a little room, a very
little room.
The author sits on the floor in a flow
ing garment of brown silk, liued with
blue, his legs disposed comfortably
under him. In front of him stands a
lacquered table, about a foot square,
and upon it are his writing materials,
which are as idyllic as lfis surround
ings—his paper is delicately tinted yel
low, with blue lines running up and
down.
His inkstand is a carved ebony slab,
with one end hollowed out for water to
rob his cube of india ink in, and holds
the four or five daintily decorated bam
boo brushes which are his pens. Nat
urally he does not write his novel, he
paints it.
Beginning at the end of the whole, at
the left of every page and at the top of
every line, straight down between the
two blue parallels his small brown hand
goes with quick, delicate, dark touches.
Although the novelist's "copy" might
seem to a stranger to be daintiness it
self, yet he always has it duplicated "by
an artist" before sending it to the pub
lishers, the success of the book depend
ing so largely upon its artistic form.
The "artist" to whom the "copy" is now
intrusted proceeds to repaint the long
series of word pictures with a profes
sional dexterity which is something as
tonishing.—New York Journal.
Some One Swallowed tlie Tooth.
I heard a rather amusing story of a
number of young people who assembled
a few days ago at the home of a charm
ing young lady somewhere in the eastern
part of the city for a quiet little game at
cards. During the progress of the even
ing one of the girls produced her bon
bonniere, which passed in succession
around the merry circle until its tiny lid
closed only on an aching void and the
delicate flavor of Italian mint. When
the pretty box was returned empty to its
owner, the delicate suffusion of her
flushed brow faded to a ghastly pallor as
she cried, "Whore's my shark's tooth? I
had it in this bonbonniere." Then the
pallor went around as visions of the gas
tronomic impossibilities of the situation
dawned 011 those who Ire d partaken of tlio
contents of the box —somebody had
swallowed the wisdom molar of a man
eating carcliarias vulgaris, but who?
Nobody knows to this day, but there was
a sense of uneasiness about the little
gathering thereafter that fell like a pall
over the general jollity.—Louisville Post.
Celluloid Silk.
In discussing the latest development
in the line of silk imitation, an English
contemporary says: "Celluloid 'silk' is a
cleverly fabricated tissue, which ought
to be repressed by common consent, or,
if necessary, by parliamentary prohibi
tion. Nothing so useful to dishonest
dealers and so dangerously inflammable
has hitherto been invented in the way of
clothing. It is certainly cheap and hand
some, and is therefore more tempting to
the thoughtless, or the defrauded, who
may be induced to buy as 'silk' a mate
rial which a spark would inflame, and
which would burn with the fierceness of
a rag steeped in petroleum. It may be
in the future possible to lessen this in
flammability, but the small sample re
ferred to went off like a flash, and wo
may assume it was as fireproof as can at
the present time bo made."
Senator Ingalls' Desk.
Senator Ingalls studied law in Massa

to the bar started to Kansas with S7O in
his inside pocket. He opened an office
near Atchison. His law library was
made up of three books, and the whole
of his furniture was a chair and a table.
His first client was a carpenter, and his

a high desk for his legal services, and
this desk painted green is kept in the In

Nature in Cauvul-ioii
stcrrlttc. Volcanic eruptions, cyclones, earth
quakes are awfully and tremendously pictur

tion and effect, by the administration or rem

Is the effect ot the old fashioned vl olent purga
tives happtiyfalUng more and more Into disuse,
and of which Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is the
wholesome, pleasant, and far more effective
seccedaneum. They weakened Ihe int estlues—
the Bitters Invigorates them. They left rha
bowels Inactive, because Incauuclated by ensu
ing feebleness. The Bitters, on the contrary,
and because It enables, not forces, them to act
—a vast and fortunate difference —perpetuates
their activity and regularity. The Uver is bene
ficially stimulated, as the kldnevs also are, by
this medicine, which easily conquers, alsorna
larla, nervousness and rheumat ism.
A Haunted House.
This body of ours has b en likened to a tene
ment. It often has a haunted apartment—the
stomach. Beared by the eldrlch i-pilte, dyspep
sia. digestion tiles and refuses to return. What
can break the spell, what can raise the ban
laid upon the unUappy organs ? We answer un
hesitatingly, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and
we are warranted In the response by the record
ed tesllmony of myriads, covering a period of
over a third of a century. A course of the Bit
ters, begun In any stage of the affliction, and
persistently followed, will terminate In cure
positive, not partial. The Bitters restores tone
to the eplgrastlo nerve, renews and purities the
juices exuding from the cellular tissue thatact
upon the fooudlgestlvely, expels bile from ttie
stomach and the blood, and promotes a regular
habit of body. Malaria, kidney complaint, ner
vousness, rheumatism and neuralgia give way
to this medicine.
Words of Advice
To thoso who require a stimulant. There are
many to whom we could recommend you; we
think there are Just as many honest Uquor
dealers as there are dealers In any other class
of merchandize, and again we believe that there
are many who sell whiskey or any other com
modity, who are not reliable. We have noticed
that our best physicians and superintendents of
hospitals have by heir testimonials highly rec
ommended Klein's Sliver Age Rye, therefore we
say his Is the place to which we would advise
every one ro go. He sells six-year-old Gitckcn
helmcr. Finch. Gibson or overholt forfi per

and Gins, cheap as the cheapest, send for com

Never Neglect a Cold;
Dr. Austin Flint says la the tVtrcm: "it Is
probable that a person with an inherited ten
dency to consumption would never develop the
disease ir he could be protected against infectlou
with the tuhercic bucltuss. In the light of mod
ern discoveries consumption can no longer be
regarded as an Incurable disease." Kemp's
