How a i - Reformed Church Has Become Prominent. Rev. John M. Schick, D. D., Washington, D. C.. bie formerly a pas- tor at Meyersdale, preached Sunday morning in the Grace Reformed church, of whieh Rev. John H. Prugh, D. D., is pastor, at Pittsburg. says the Pittsburg Times. In speaking of his own congre- gation, says the Times reporter, Dr. Schick averred that the coming of President Roosevelt to Washington bad made his church. *“My church” said Dr. Schick. “has been made by the coming of President Roosevelt to the city of Washington. Before that time for 23 years the congregation was weak and unable to support itself properly, but now we are prosperous and have money in the treasury. The denomi- nation built a memorial church for us which was dedicated last year. Our church is crowded when the President attends, and at other times we just have a fair-sized audience. Sometimes the children come with the President, and at other times I understand they attend the Episcopal church. with Mrs. Roosevelt. The newspapers have placed us before the public, and we have grown strong in a couple of years. We are prosperous.” Rev. Schick used to be the pastor of the Meyersdale Reformed congrega- tion, some years ago, and he has many warm friends throughout this county. However, his admission that the Presi- dent’s church attendance has “made his church,” only indicates that many people go to church more to worship men than to worship God. Dr. Schick himself admits that the attendance at his church is not large when the Pres- now of BOLD ATTEaiPT TO ROB. Aged Maiden Lady in Old Middle- ereek Terrorized. [Special to THE STAR.] SoMERSET, Pa, Jan. 22.—A startling story comes from the vicinity of New Lexington, in Middlecreek township. The modest home of Elizabeth King, a maiden lady 68 years old, living on the raad leading from Casselman to New Lexington, was invaded yesterday in broad daylight by three men, who, as soon as they gained entrance to the Louse, demanded money from their un- willing hostess. Miss King, terrified almost beyond the power of speech, assured the men that there was no money in the house, whereupon the leader of the gang shouted : “Yes, you have money, have money in this house. you live without money?” At this juncture Miss King desper- ately seized a poker and commanded the intruders to leave the house, but the men laughingly disarmed her and pushed her into an adjoining room, where ‘one of the men drew a revolver from his belt. and holding the muzzle of the weapon agaiust the forehead of the aged lady, told her he would shoot her dead if she made any outery, and while one of the gang thus guarded her the two other men went through the house from the cellar to the attic in search of money, but their search was fruitless, and in their chagrin the outlaws upset most of the furniture, breaking chairs and dishes before leav- ing the house. Miss King’s doughtray, filled with ‘Lib. you How could Newspaper Interests in Conbination. inks, and a substantial reduction in the cost of manufacture has given The Standard Ink Works such a strategical advantage over their competitors in the ink trade that the editors and publishers who control and largely own the business have decided to invite the financial co-operation of the general public in an immediate enlargement of the working plant. : The purpose of the corporation is to secure to American newspapers the absolute control of their ink supply independently of any industrial combination or other outside influence, and, at the same time, to make money for its stockholders through the sale of printing inks to publishers and printers in all parte of the civilized world. The corporation owns and operates, in New York City, a printing ink factory having a capacity of 10,000 pounds of printing ink a day. The factory is equipped with the latest and most highly improved machinery for the manufacture of all grades and colors of printing inks. The corporation owns and operates, outside of New York, a modern and fully equipped factory for the preparation of the materials from which printing inks are made. This factory represents an outlay of be- tween $50,000 and $100,000.in cash. It has a capacity at present of 100, 000 pounds a day. It is the intention of the corporation to bring the capacity of its New York City factory up to the full capacity of the works. By reason of the recent improvement in the quality of the materials and the reduction in the cost of manufacture, the corporation is able to offer to investors this plain business proposition: It can manufacture better printing inks at a lower cost than any other maker of inks in exist- ence. It can sell good inks for less than it costs other concerns to make poor inks, and still earn generous dividends on its outstanding investment. The profits of manufacture, under the new and more favorable conditions, will range from 100% to 300%.

No other petrators, as they said, to brand her person, but this threat was not carried out.
