Postmaster-General Wanama keu thinks that free delivery in far ing districts will pay for itself. Wher ever it has been tried it ImB proved to be remunerative. If such a system should bo adopted by Congress on the suggestion of Mr. Wanamakor, it would be one of the greatest boons to the villager and farmer that could be Kiveu them. To have their letters and papers delivered at their doors and thus avoiding n necessary visit to the post office, would be to these people a great benefit.

Powlok Proaohes an Interest ing Sermon on Oonsoorntlon in the Methodist Church. Large Attendance, A largo congregation in tho Methodist Episcopal church listened last ovonlng to a pormon on consecration from Romans XI 1-1-2, "I boseech you theroforo.brothron, by tbo mercies of God that yo present your bodios a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God which is your reasonable sorvico. And bo not conformed to this world but bo yo transformed by tho renewing of your mind." Wo havo no proof that St. 1'oter ovor saw Rome. Tho Roman church was probably founded by porsons who woro convorted at Jerusalem on tho day of Pen tocost. Tho noed of apostolic c unsels led St. Paul to address them in this op'utlo. Ho uses tho morcles of God as an argument In favor of thorough dodication to God. Tho consciousness of God's goodnoss in dolivoring us from sin, should lead us to do tho same. When "attitude, latitudo and platitude" becomo tho substituto for ex perimental religion and hell begins to spew, as it did to-day, and mon rovol in its vomit, it is high timo for God's children to botake thcmsolvos to prayer and to present their wholo powers as living sacrifices to God. Wo aro not called on to dlo for rO' ligion but to live for it. To oxomplify its principles and illustrato its doctrines In our daily lifa. Conformity to tho world is in consistent with tho obligation laid upon us It is often difficult to seo the difference be tween tho dally llfo of professors and un- professors of religion. It is a disgraco to a religious man to bo governed by tho spirit of tho ago and to chorish tho samo am bitions and possess tho samo aims as men of tho world such rollgion is vain. It was mado tho plain duty of tho christians of Rome, as it is of those of Shonandoah, to be transformed transfigured changed and mado different from othor men in their aims, principles, ffurposos, habits, etc. And when such fruits do not appear in thoir lifa it is becaueo thoy aro degenerato sons and daughtors of a lifeless creed. Ono of tho roproacho3of our ago is that in tho Bacrod name of religion morality is often crucified by its own votaries. St. Paul says to Romo and to christians of overy ago and ovory clime: "Bo not confortnod to this world." Llvo abovo it. Bo superior to it. Do not imitate iU methods. Rofaso to resort to its expedients. But what ro sponso doos Rome and the rest of tho world mako? A religion that does not mako men bottor than tboso who aro with out it is worthless. And religious instruc tions that bid defiance to thoso apostolic admonitions aro a delusion and a snare. Next Sunday evoning tho pastor will preach a special sermon, by request, to tho Jr. 0. U. A.

Justice" Shows tho "News" Edi tors Up In Their True Light Editor Herald : It strikes mo v.ry forcibly that Mr. BHtoridgo, momber of tho Borough Council, did an unwiso act in allowing tho bull dozing triumvirs of tho News to givo an exhibition of thoir black mailing proclivities over his signature Besides, it places tbo gentleman In an unenviable light in the oyos ol all woll- thinbing mon. Thoso black-mailors of tho characters of mon whom tho triumvir aro so far beneath morally, socially, politically and otherwise, boingawaroof tho unsavory opinion tho public has in regard to thoir expressions on any important question, tako advantage of tho prejudices ot a narrow- iniuded citizen to givo expression to certain untruths that they, through cither fear or knowlodgo of tho fact that thoir own opinions would havo no weight, would not ftthor in their Paul Pry sheet. Mr, Betterldgo is mado to Fay that ho was awaro that such a petition was to be presented to council ovor a weok previous to its ap pearanco. Now, I am In a position to know that tho black-mailing triumvirs havo caused Mr. B. to toll an untruth. Tho Kewi little coterio of followers may bavo anticipated such a petition from tbo societies in question in opposition to the desecration of Xho American Sabbath, for thoy well know that such a protest would not emanato from their un-Amorican and bigoted minds. Mr, Lamb's action as a mombor of tho liorough Council needs no uoloico nor apology at my hands. Ilis vote, in woll as thoso members who sustainod him, goos to show that ho is truoly an American citizen and abelievorin tbosanctity of tho Sabbath Hid tho matter como up for considoration after tho parado of yostorday, there would bavo boon moro ot tho samo opinion, And after finding, according to tbo intorpretation of tho borough's logal advisor, that there was no law to sustain council in its action ho further shows his manhood and lair micdodnoss by moving a reconsideration Mr. B. might folbw tho example with much profit. Yestorday was certainly desocration of tho Sabbath, morally, if not legally, and tho foresight of tho petitioners to the Borough Council is to oo com mendod. Mr. Editor, a word in roferonco to tain parties who used tho Lithuanian peoplo as a moro' tool by which to show thoir hatred for the P. 0. S. of A. and tho Jr, 0. U. A. M. These parties try to mako it appear that tho societies in quoslion woro opposed to tho dedication. Such was not tho case, as a perusal of the petition will provo. Thoy merely and justly, too- protested against the playing of bands of music on our streets. To show that it is not an interference with their rollgious worship, the authorities in Mahanoy City took similar action and stopped tho bands, yet tho Polish church of that town was duly dodicatod. Perhaps Mr. B. could ox- pUin how this is an interference with their rollgious worship. Justice. Shenandoah, Oct. 20, 1801.

Yostorday in town bnro as much resotn- bianco to tho Sabbath as tho Fourth of July dots to Christmas Day. Novor bofuro in tho history of tho town, with, possibly, tho oxception of tho timo when half tho town laid in ruins in 1883, has tboro been such a crowd in tho town. Tho only somblanco of tho Sabbath was tho closed (front) doors of tho saloons and tho oc ca;ional ringing of church bolls, but tho sounds of tho latter woro frequently drowned by tho music of tho bands. Tho music discoursed by tho lattor, by tho way, was sacred only in ono instancrt and that was a solection playod by tho Grant Band just beforo tho corner stono laying coro monies commoncod. Tho traffic ovor tho Lehigh Valloy rail road was treraonious. Station Agent Fer guson estimated tho number- of passongers at no loss than 3,000. Mahanoy City, alone, sent ovor 500 peoplo. This immense throng whs handled so effectually that but ono accidont, and that was a fatal one, a man from Plymouth losing his llfo. Thoso who witnessed tho doparturo of tho visitors woro surprised that tho accidents did not roll up by scores. Tho Lehigh Valloy depot, waiting rooms, platform, and all surround ing placos, woro packed with humanity and it was only with groat difficulty that tho tracks could bo cleared to mako room for trains to pull up to tho platform. Those who havo been at Coney Island or Long Branch, or Capo May, and havo witnessed a scramble for tho last boat can form but a slight idoa of tho scono at tho depot last night. The screams of cbildron, tho crios of womon and tho oaths of mon mado scene wholly uncommon for a Sabbath day especially in this sdction. Tho pooplo commenced to flock into the town at an early hour and continued to stream in until after ono o'clock. By that hour all thoroughfares woro thronged, Tho membors of tho various societies scatterod hero and thoro and whilod away tho timo intervening betwoon their arrival and tho starting of tho parado by visiting frionds. Judging fr m tho appoaranco of some of Iho visitors, their visits must havo been numerous and tbo receptions accorded them very enthusiastic. Said ono citizen to a reporter, "I can't soo whoro thoy got it." But anotbor cilizon said to tho ro' porter this morning, "If you had beon in ono of tho halls at tho cornor of Main and 0k straots you would havo scon plenty There was onough on tho floor for a ship to float on." But.howover that may b, it is duo to tho sooiotles to say that thuro wero no disgraco ful ecenos upon tho streets and tho duy ended tar more quietly than was expected, Tho parado started at; 1:30 p. m., under tho Chief Marshalship of Androw Molusky, in tho following order: FIRST DIVISION".
