When the exalted profession of teaching the word of God is dishonored tician and a preacher at the same time, the humbug is enough to make every respectable minister and every devowt churchman raise his hands in horror. Yet we have presented to us the de- lectable spectacle of such humbugs as- cending the pulpit, turning the leaves of the Holy Book with dirty fingers, taking Biblical utterances for texts and then mixing slander, salvation and as- ininity up into a dreary drivel to the utter. disgugt of the congregations which do not accord the courtesy of their pulpits for the purposes of listen- ing to stump speeches. Do the people who build those nance in order that they may worship Almighty God according to their faith or creed know the character of the po- litical impostors who pose before them? * Do they know that they are being hum- bugged? Do they know the mischief of the red and bleary eyes that never had the honest steadiness to look - straight into those of another? Do they know that the harangues to which they listen consist of the mouthings of reckless mountebanks who, unfit to preach the gospel, unfit to do manual labor, unfit to enter decent employ- ment, seek to make a precarious living as hell-raisers for soreheads? Carrie Nation is a reformer, a sa- foon smasher, a hell-raiser; but what self-respecting clergyman is there in . Fayette county who will permit a * creature of this type to expound the gospel according to her atrocious with a hatchet when a whisper’ or two ascends from the Amen corner? Yet “reformers” like these become candidates for public office. They seize upon temperance as a child would up- on a plaything, for it gives them an “argument.” They espouse the cause of Prohibition, for it better suits their arrant hypogrisy. They, go into the business of | rioting scandal monger- ; fot muckers enjoy the use of the rake, “Bhey vilify their fel- » low men, fer yilifiention appeals to a paucity “of jotellect. They offer a medium for the transmission of the venom and spleen of the political sore- head. They are forever against the * party in power. They secretly deal with the political cut-throats and sore- heads of the other parties, for they are in the business of raising hell, and noth- ing but muck is grist for their mill. 1 Is it any wonder that an outraged community should prepare for the sup- pression of those human pests and an exposition of their unholy methods?— Uniontown Herald. The foregoing from our esteemed ‘contemporary contains much good semnge. While we are heartily in favor of the prohibition of the liquor traffic, “we nevertheless consider the fool Pro- hibition party the greatest hindrance “and stumbling block in tke way of the ultimate overthrow of the liquor busi- ness. The reason for this lies in the » fact that the officerseekers in the Pro- hibition party are to a great extent litical outcasts, . professional muck- *in the movement for revenue only, and who are ever ready to sell out their following to the highest bidder. In all states where prohibition legislation has been enacted, it has come about either through the Republican party or the | Democratic party, and not through the Prohibition party in a single instance.

They do not often get a chance to cheer. ———— THE election in 1896 fell on Novem- ber 3. Mr. Bryan will understand that this year history ands Republican majorities repeat themselves. ‘Dr. Wire, the Government chemist, asserts that poor bread is the cause of most of the divorces. The good doctor has apparently overlooked pie. “Tue Democratic rooster gives the halleluis crow,” says the Atlanta Con- stitution. And in November the Dem- ocratic rooster gives the Democratic crow. A MINNESOTA canditate for Gover- nor is said to eat pie with his knife. How he eats pie should be less import- ant to the boys than how he passes it around. Mgs. Tuoxas P. Gore, wife of Okla- homa’s blind senator, says that only women in unhappy homes want to vote. It is algo these same women who want to fight. AN Ohio man has withdrawn from the race for Congress because he killed a laborer with his motor car. He doubtless realized that the pedestrian vote is now lost to him. To recur for a moment to wkat is now ancient history, was it not pe- culiarly fitting that a convention man- aged by telephone was opened by a chairman be the name of Bell? . lees 2 Dr. WiLEy thinks a good many divorces can be charged to poor bread, but in numerous cases there is a sus- brought about by the lack of dough. { Bryax wants $5.00 from every farm- of. As they are producing $8,000,000, 000 worth of crops, this year, they prob- ably could spare the money, but they couldn’t afford the results it would bfing. Cuamp CrLark thinks national con- ventions can be improved in several respects. The Democratic kind could make campaigns more interesting by ceasing to yell an hour and a half for a chronic loser. “PERSISTENT eating of boiled carrots,” says a French physician, “will cure jealousy, melancholy and feelings of wrath and revenge.” Mr. Bryan ought to send some boiled carrots to Mr. Guffey. of Pennsylvania. Youxa lady, don’t grab at the first good-looking clothes that come along, and say, “It's mine, because I found it,” but wait until a sure enough man comes along. He may not be as Johnny-onsthe-spot us the other kind, but he will be there when the other one has made you tired and passed on. et Dip you ever notice that tobacco is always clean? If a man drops a piece of meat, no matter how clean the floor may be, he will either give it a kick or pick it up and lay it to one side. He But let him drop his plug of tobacco on the ground, and no difference how dirty the spot where it fell, he will pick it up and give it a careless swipe on his coat sleeve or on the bosom of his pants, and then take a chew with greater relish than ever. ee Young people should acquire the habit of correct speaking and writing and abandon as early as possible any use of slang words and phrases. The longer you put this off, the more diffi- cult the acquirement of correct lan- guage will be; and if the golden age of youth, the proper season for the ac- quisition of language, be passed in its abuse, the unfortunate victim will most probably be doomed to talk slang for life. You have merely Lo use the language which you read, instead of the slang you hear, to form a taste in agreement with the speakers and poets in the country. SHE LIKES GOOD THINGS. Mrs. Chas. E.

Shipman, a Methodist minister, after finding Mrs. Carew in the preacher’s room at a late hour in the night. If there were not so all- fired many preachers continually get- ting caught in compromising positions with other men’s wives; that profession would be much more respected. Even Somerset county, Pa., has had its full share of scandals in recent years, in which preachers and women other than their wives were prominent figures, and the churches, as a rule, try to shield ministerial moral lepers and libertines instead of exposing and punishing them, as they should. More's the shame. THE one greatest corruption of mor- als and every-day school of crime is the saloon. The saloon by its very in: fluence, both active and passive, breeds demoralization, corruption and crime, to an extent that nothing ‘else Ap- proaches. Its very presence, insinuat- ing, accustoming men to look upon de- bauchery -and crime with impunity, tends to an extent scarcely compre- hended, to benumb and deaden the keener moral sensibilities along all lines. We live in a clouded moral at- mosphere, made so by the fumes of strong drink, to a degree that few of us can imagine. The effects are felt in all branches of the social fabric. This cause of crime is most tangible. Why not turn all forces towards its oblitera- tion? eer LEARN to laugh. A good laugh .is better than medicine. Learn how to tell a story. A well told story is a welcome sunbeam in & sick room. The world is too busy to care for your ills and sorrows. Learn to keep your own troubles to yourself. Learn to stop croaking. If you cannot see any good in the world, keep the bad to yourself. Learn to hide your pains and aches under pleasant smiles. No one cares whether you have the earache, head- ache, or rheumatism. Learn to meet your friends with a smile. A good- humored man or woman is always welcome, but the dyspeptic is not want- ed anywhere, and is a nuisance as well. Above all, give pleasure. Lose no chance of giving pleasure. You will pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that you can show to any human being, you had bet- ter do now ; do not defer or neglect it, for you will not pass this way again. Tue quiet fidelity with which a wom- an will dishwash her life away for her husband and children is a marvel of endurance. Here is the servitude of women heaviest. No sooner is her work done than it requires to be done again. Men take jobs, work on them, and they are over for good and all. The prospect of ending them and drawing pay for the labor is alluring, ‘but no such aHurements are held out for the wife. She washes Monday after Monday the same garments until there is nothing more of them to wash; then these are replaced by others of new material just like them, and the rub. bing and wringing goes on forever. She mends the stockings with tireless fidelity, the same holes meeting her gaze week after week, for if there is a “darned” place in a sock “he” invaribly puts his irrépressible toe through it. Every morning the rooms are put in order, only to be in the wildest disorder by the time night falls. There are no jobs, each one different, no terms, no pay. The same socks, the same wash- ing, the same room every time. CaN anything be more pleasant in the busy hum-drum of after years than to permit our minds to wander back to the days of school life ; the sweet mem- ories and incidents that will come up, the smiling faces and pleasant counte- nances ; the old school house door that has so often admitted us, swinging back and forth on its hinges, the very walks speaking forth of happy hours; while at our side stands the noble teacher who watched our every move, and was as much interested in our suec- cess as we were? As these recollections come back to us whose school lives have been spent in this community, our eyes moisten as we realize those days are now gone forever. Never again will those days return. All who for so many months and years have been like one family and participated joyously togetlier in the school-room and play-ground, have doubtless pledged loyalty and faith to the school. We have stepped out of school life into life’s school, and are scattered far and wide, but the memories of our school days will ever form the brightest link in our chain of thought.

Last Saturday afternoon a game of baseball was played by the Rockwood and Salisbury. clubs, on the_latter’s ground. An interesting game was ex- pected, and, in fact, most of our home people expected to see the Rockwood club win, as it is one of the County League clubs and is said to stand second in this season’s winning of games. However, Salisbury’s pitcher, John Krausse, was too much for the Rockwood boys, and about all they could do was to fan the air and strike themselves ouf. Krausse’s speedy and fancy curving balls kept the visitors guessing all the time, while the Rock- wood pitcher was’ dead easy, and his balls were knocked all over the field. Our boys kept Rockwood shut out until the Seventh inning, when, through an error, they got in one run, and in the Ninth inning, through another error on the part of the home club, Rockwood scored again. The score, at the end of the game, stood 10 for Salis- bury and 2 for Rockwood. Krausse, the pitcher, and House, the catcher, certainly did some clever work in the game for Salisbury, and the vietory for the home club was principally due to their excellent play- ing. It was a nice, clean game of ball throughout, devoid of the customary amount of wrangling, but was’ a little too one-side to be real interesting. Last Thursday the Meyersdale club was billed for a game with our home club, on the Salisbury ground, but a dispute arose as to the possession of the ground, and the game was called off. The Lutherans of Meyersdale had possession of Wagner’s Park on the day aforesaid, and were holding a Sunday school picnic therein. As the baseball ground is located in said park, the pic- nickers also took possession of that, claiming that nothing was reserved when they made arrangement for the use of the park. A scrub game of ball was being played by members of their own party, when the regular Salisbury and Meyersdale ball teams appeared and politely asked the picnickers for the use of the diamond as soon as they played the inning or two yet required to complete the game then in progress. Some of those playing ball at the time, and a large mojority of all pres- ent, wanted to see the match game be- tween the two regular clubs proceed at once, but a few hotheads in the crowd evidently preferred a wrangle to a good game of ball, and they kicked up a fuss that came very near ending in a free-for-all fight. The scheduled game, therefore, did not come off, and, as a result, the Meyersdale ball team was saved a humiliating defeat. It can also be truthfully said that the wrangle, which was due to a misunder- standing, subsided just in time to save a few Meyersdele big-windies a most severe beating. The affair is much de- plored by all good people who were present, but the less said about it; and the sooner it is forgotten, the better. However, we cannot refrain from say- ing that people professing to have good sense should beware of their hasty tongues, and not make insulting and unchristian remarks at a Sunday school picnic. A few explanatory words uttered in kindness by profess- ing Christians who resorted to insult- ing and inflammatory language in- stead, would have avoided all trouble, and much more enjoyment would have been gotten out of the day. ‘On Tuesday John Krausse pifched for the Garrett team in a match game with Berlin, on the Berlin diamond. The game was a complete shut-out for Garrett, while Berlin scored eight or ten times. The fault, however, was not with Krausse, but due to the fact that the Garrett boys gave him only the poorest kind of support. He did his part nobly, but could not play the whole game alone. ie ee Bosswell Coa! Company. It is stated that W. H. Morris, of Johnstown, will be associated with Ed- ward T.

This is probably the greatest week in Be. lin’s history, and people are flocking there from all points of the compass to help celebrate Old Home Week. The old town is doing herself proud, and is “dyked out” in her gayest attire. The street decorations, and the decorations of trees and buildings eclipse anything in that line ever witnessed in Somerset county. It is impossible for us to mention: all the Salisbury people that have flocked there this week, but our people have been and are still going there in crowds, both overland and by rail. All the usual attractions are there, but the accommodation at the hotels is greatly complained of, especially the table service. It’s the same old story —ithe places reaping the greatest money harvest on such occasions are giving the least for the money, or in other words, lots of all'*kinds of booze, but a woful shortage of properly pre- pared food. On Tuesday the editor of THE STAR went to the “ancient burg” to take in “Old Soldiers’ Day,” and, incidentally, to hear some able addresses. Governor Stuart and Congressman Cooper were billed to address the people in general and the old soldiers in particular, but the Governor failed to appear. Con- gressman Cooper was on the, ground, however, but whether he made an ad- dress or not, the writer is unable to say, as there seemed to be a misunder- standing as to where the speaking was to take place. It was first announced for Stoner’s Grove, to which place the editor went, only to hear L. C. Colborn get up and announce that the addresses would be made in a tent on the op- posite side of the town, and the crowd was instructed to go there at once. Well, the people went to the tent to which they were directed, but found a show of some kind in progress there, and no one seemed to know anything about addresses to be made at that place. Then the editor gave up the chase and returned home, but not un- til after he was informed that all speeches were called off. If our worthy Congressman did not address the people, it was ne fault of his, but the fault of those in charge of the program. The old soldiers never had a better friend in Congress than Hon. A. F. Cooper, nor our district a more able | representative. He is deservedly very popular with his constituents, and many who failed to hear him speak were badly disappointed. CURED HAY FEVER AND SUM- MER COLD. A.S. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana, writes: “Last year I suffered for three months with a summer cold so distress- ing that it interfered with my business. I had many of the symptoms of hay fever. and a doctor’s prescription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seemed only to aggra- vate it. Fortunately I insisted upon having Foley's Honey and Tar. It quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley’s Honey and Tar with the same success.” Sold by Elk Lick Phar- macy, E. H.

Getty, of the First National Bank of Grantsville, Md., was a Salisbury visitor last Sunday, accom- panied by his wife and two young sons. While engaged in conversation with the editor, Mr. Getty, who is a rock- ribbed Democrat of the old school, ex- pressed the hope and belief that Bryan would again be defeated for the presi- dency of the United States. “Follow- ing the election of Taft,” said Mr. Getty, “there is good hope for the prompt resumption of business and a general loosening up of money matters all over the country, while in the event of Bryan’s election the panic would likely become much more severe.” We may not have quoted his exact words, but we have given the sub- stance of them, and as Mr. Getty is a good, practical business man, politician, scholar and thinker, his opinion ought to be worth something. One thing is sure, his opinion is shared pretty gen- erally, all over the country, by business men, regardless of their politics. HOW TO AVOID APPENDICITIS.

The subject of this sketch, who was one of the best known and most highly esteemed farmers of Elk Lick town- ship, died at his home three miles southwest of Salisbury, Monday morn- ing, the 10th inst. after a lingering ill- ness of several months’ duration. Mr. Hershberger was twice married. His first wife died several years ago, but the second wife survives him. He is also survived by a number of sons and daughters, all the children of his first wife. Deceased was aged 72 years, 7 months and 5 days.

B. & 0. to Use Wabash Station in Pittsburg. Baltimore & Ohio passenger trains are to use the large passenger terminal of the Wabash in Pittsburg as a result of the conference between E, H. Har- riman and George Gould and their as- sociates during the last few days, ac- cording to well-informed railroad of- ficials in Pittsburg who are in close touch with the Harriman and Gould managements. : Mr. Harriman is said to have solved the problem of building a freight and passenger tcrminal in Pittsburg for the Baltimore & Ohio, and the deal, which is said to have been closed with- in the week, means more to the Pitts- burg district than appears on the sur- face. The expense of connecting the Balti- more & Ohio and the Gould lines would be comparatively small, and it is under- stood that the plan is to be carried out as soon as possible. Plans have been discussed whereby the Baltimore & Ohio can enter the Wabash station at Liberty avenue and Ferry street by three different routes. It is reported that Mr. Harriman and Mr. Gould soon will decide upon one of the routes, and arrangements to connect the lines will then be made, says an exchange. B. & 0. Business Picking Up.
