PETER'S PUNGENT
PENCIL PUSHING
OBIES FOR A DIVISION OP
THE WARDS.
DISCUSSION ON THE IAMS CASE
An Incident of tho Civil War
Suggested by Them Shamo
kln Sots an Example for
Shenandoah.
AST year, tbo Her-
h ald, st the instance Lf
many Bepubllcan and
Denvcratio citizens,
suggested a division ol
tho borough into niorc
wnrds. Tho S'news
which has alwas
been a back number
in everything looking
to the advancement of tho community's
interests, fought tho project. This year it
commences to climb down from the band
wagon by declaring that "many voters will
bo donied their privilege of voting if
Shenandoah is not provided with more
polling places." Tho Herald saw ovei
twolvo months sgo what tho S'news is only
beginning to see. O-r contemporary should
follow the advice it so frequently gives
others "get a move on yourself." They
are all waltzing now.
V
The Shenandoah Herald Is the only paper
coming to our sanctum that approved of the
barbaric treatment of Prlvato lams at Home
stead. The Herald Is owned by a Grand Army
man, and the only one of that body who ex
pressed approval. But then there aro qulto a
few Grand Army men who never smelt powder
smoko.
The S'news published the above on Sun
day. It will now please state what relation
the smelling of powder smoke bears to tbo
lams case.
.
Tho S'news will also confer a favor by
stating what part, if any, of its freundshalt
had its nostrils tickled by powder smoke in
any of the battles in which the Grand
Army distinguished itself.
Shamokln citizens, recognizing the
danger to which all densely populated
towns aro subject, will ask tho Borough
Council of that town to-night to enact an
ordinance creating a board of health.
"When will tho Shenandoah people realize
tho emergency of tho times?
I have it from good authority that within
a few years Gettysburg will bo one of the
most interesting and attractive places in
the United States. Millions of dollars will
bo spent in improving the town. Large
hotels will be erected and beautiful gardens
similar to those of which the European
countries boast of will be erectod and laid
out around and near tho famous battlo
field and electric railways will be run in all
directions to connect the place with towns
that are now inaccessible by rail. A syndi
cate has purchased all tho neighboring
land not owned by tho Gettysburg Memo
rial Association and all tho funds nocossary
for tho project have bcon subscribed or
guaranteed by Boston capitalists. Tho
gentlemen at the head of the enterprise was
an officer in the Oonfodorato command that
fired the opening shot on the battle field. The
details of this gigantic scheme, which is
bound to be a profitable one, would make
interesting reading, but tho writer is not at
liberty toSfse them at present. Tbo Phila
delphia and Beading Bailroad Company
will also spend thousands of dollars
for the improvement of its interests there.
Gettysburg will always be a Mecca and
when the contemplated Improvements are
made many more thousands of people at
home and from abroad will visit tho his
toric blood-stained field.
V
The discussion of the lams case calls to
the mind of tho writer a touching Incident
that came to his knowledge during the
civil war. A private In the Lincoln
Cavalry (First Now York) named Johnson
had a mother living south of tho Mason
and Dixon line. Ho becamo homosick one
day and loft the camp near Alexandria.
Ho wont out towards Manassas Junction
and after traveling a number of miles
encountered a squadron of Union Cavalry
which be mistook for robels. Perceiving
the young man's mistaken notion the
commanding officer concluded to assumo a
rebol stand and wurm out all that he oould
from tbo'Jtravoler concerning tho Union
camp. Johnson fell an easy victim and
when the officer had satisfied himself he
placed the young man under arrest. After
a march back to camp a drum hoad court
martial was hold. Johnson was convicted
and shot. The writer witnessed tbo oxocu
tion. It was a pitiful eight. Tho poor
fellow bad placed himself in tho Jaws of
death Instead of tbo armB of bis loving
mother,
"I don't know why flios wero over
made," remarked a physician of town
yesterday, "but I know ft way to knock
them out this season. I havo placed
c irbolic acid in small pans In every room
AM4
in the house. The flies have movbd.
They don't bothor us now, because we aro
not on friondly terms. People who wish to
part company with mosquitoes can do so
pasilv if thov onlv burn a little bit of
camphor gum over a lamp In the room
whero the mosquito is."

SYNOPSIS OF A SERMON
Preached by Itev. William l'owlck Sunday
livening Last.
The sermon in tho Methodist Episcopal
church on Sunday ovening was from
Psalm 80-5, "For Thou Lord art good, and
ready to fergiyo: add plenteous in mercy
Unto all them that call upon Thee." The
goodness of tho Lord ia orisrinally n matter
nf revelation. There is not much in the
material universo that speaks ' to us of
mercy. Law, inexorable law, is written on
nverythlng God has made. "The heavens
declare tho glory of God, and tho firma
ment showeth his handiwork," but only
tho word of God the bible declares his
long sutfering and tender meroy. When
once the revelation of God's goodness is
mado wo aro able to discover much in
nature to illustrato and oven to confirm tho
revelation. But it is one thing to interpret
nature by tho light of revelation and then
to discard tho light and deny its help, and
a yory different thing to interpret nature
with iut revelation as may clearly be soon
in tho grotesque conceptions of God which
have rewarded tho merely rational pro
cesses of the sages of heathendom who
havo no biblo to guide them. None ot
them wero able to reach anything ap
proaching the bible conception of God's
goodness. The goodness of God dolights
to tako the special form of mercy. Hi.
goodness is the inexhaustable fountain ot
the streams of pardoning mercy which are
ever flowing from the throne of God.
Nothing short of an unflinching faith in
this attribute of God can afford the com
forting assuranco tho guilty soul needs.
Loadod with sin or burdened with sorrow
the crushed soul can find solace In thn
mercy of an all-wiso and all-loving father.
He needs not that we should multiply ar
guments. He waits not for us to do any
thing to make us more worthy of his
mercy. It is of the very essence of mercy
to bless the unworthy. Tho more un
worthy and sinful the stronger claim you
have upon his morcy. He came not to call
the righteous but sinners to repentance."
He delighteth In morcy and is ready to for
give. And as though this were not enough
wo are assured that he is "plenteous in
mercy." Ho does not dole it out in a nig
gardly manner:
"Its streams the whole creation reach,
Bo plenteous Is the store;
Enough for each, enough for all,
Enough for ever more."
The doalmgs of man with man aro dis
tlnguished'by nothing more than injustice
and unmercifulnoss. Guilty man bestows
nothing so grudgingly as mercy. We
have a glaring instance of this in the
recent events at Homestead whose chief
proprietor wrote so eloquently in The
Forum concerning the inexcusable folly of
strikes and lock-outs and the great useful
ness of trades unions and the surpassing
value of arbitration as a means of settling
labor troubles and then locked his men out
and denounced their organizations and
refused to recognize tbom or to arbitrate
the diflerences between them. But God is
true though every man be a liar. Co mo
let us reason together s&ith tho Lord,
though your sins be as scarlet they shall
be as wool and though they be rad liko
crimson they shall bo whiter than snow.
Lot the wicked forsake his way and the
unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him
return unto tho Lord and he will have
mercy upon him and to our God for he
will abundantly pardon. We need not
endure grevlous penances nor invoke tho
aid of any other than the "One meditator
between God and man the Man Christ
Jesus." God la plentous in morcy to all
them that call upon Him. We may havo
little intelligence and lees learning, we may
be unable to formulate our needs, perhaps
we cannot express ourselves in what men
call and often miscall prayer, but If we
know enough to call wo know onough to
sue successfully for mercy. Tho drowning
man who can call for help can call upon
God for mercy. "And whosoever shall
call upon tho name of the Lord shall be
saved."

THE FREE READING

OFFICERS.
TO BE OPENED AT AN EARLY DATE
Tho Plans and Objeots of tho
Association as Adopted at
a Meeting Held Last
Night.
MOVEMENT that
appeals strongly to
tho Jphilanthropy of
tbo pooplo of town
was effectually set on
foot last night by tho
permanent organiza
tion of "Tho Free
Library Association of
Shenandoah." Tho
movement was started soveral weeks ago
but a permanent organization was deferred
until the promotors could arrango their
plans so that they could know just what
they were doing and what tho promises of
success would bo.
Last night a meeting was held In tho
Trinity Beformed church, Bev. H. G.
James presiding, and a plan of organiza
tion was adopted.
The following officers were elected to
serve until the time fixed for the annual
olection of officers October 1, next :
President, Bev. William Powick; Vice
Presidents, Daniel Ogden, W. H. Waters
and John Senior. Secretary, Boy. William
McNally; Treasurer, M. H. Master.
The object of the Association Is the de
velopments the moral and mental nature
of its patrons by the maintenance of a free
reading room and the circulation of such
literature as may be agreed upon. Tho
management shall be vested In a board of
trustees to consist of the pastor and one lay
member of each patronizing church, and
five persons to be chosen at largo by the
members of the association. The exocutive
committee will comprise tho officers of the
association, and it shall bo charged with
tho administration of all tho details of its
work and with tho duty of dovlsing ways
and means of carrying out its work, sub
ject, however, to the approval of the board
of trustees. The expenses of the associa
tion will ba met by voluntary contributions
under the following scheme: Patronizing
churches shall be constituted by the pay
ment of not less than five dollars perynar.
Active members shall bo constituted by the
payment of one dollar per year. Any per
son contributing more than one dollar
shall be constituted a sustaining member
tor that year. All members shall be en
titled to all the privileges of tho room and
a vote to all elections for officers. In cose
of any perversion of y the original
design of the association, or of its
method cf pursuing it, tho property of the
Association' shall revert to the patronizing
churches.
The Association has secured tho two
rooms over the drug storo in tho Harring
ton building, corner of Main and Centre
streets. The rooms will bo made into one,
with an arch midway. They will be
opened as soon as tbey can be arranged
and furnished. This work will bsgin at
once.
Self Praise.
Self praise is no rocommondation, but
there are times when one must permit a
person to tell the truth about himself.
When what he says is supported by the
testimony of others no reasonable man will
doubt his word. Now, to say that Allcock's
Porous Piasters are the only genuine and
reliable porous plasters made is not self
praise in the slightest degree. They have
stood tho test for ovor thirty years, and in
proof of their merits it is only necessary to
call attention to the cures they have effected
and to the voluntary testimonials of those
who have used them.
Beware of imitations, and do not be
deceived by misrepresentation. Ask for
Allcock's, and lot no solicitation or ex
planation Induce you to accept a substitute

A TUB OF WAR.
A Player's Account or tho Game nt
Lansford.
Shenandoah team wended its way to
Lansford Saturday and gave the strongly
organized team of that place a tug of-war
struggle. 1 he game was hotly contested
from start to finish and up to the seventh
inning looked liko a sure victory for our
boys. In this inning the tide of good luck
changed Its course, carrying with it a trio
of runs for tho home team, thus ending in
a brilliant score of 2 to 4. The work of
Fitzgerald at third was marvellous, while
Heffron and Scanlan, as a battery, kept
their opponents in continual torror of
Scanlan's electrified curves. "Hop" Ward,
the old reliable, played his usual cool and
faultless game, while the remainder of the
team played good all around ball.
Gormley and Fulmer filled the points
for the opposing team and worked like
clock work. Gormley's stem-winding;
curves proved fatal to our terrific sluggers.
Our team is a good one, having battled its
fifth game with unbounded success, thrice
snapping victory from tho very jaws of
defeat Tho club is anxious to tackle any
team desiring a game and respectfully in
vites the Y. M. O. A of Pottsville, to
voluntarily centralize their mental activity
upon this one thought. The following is
