Whittin: What amount of suft'.'rlng there must bo among a lot of churuh members in thin place. The christian llfo Is not a mere refraining from wrong-doing. It is that, of couiM', or it could not ! cliris llun. Hut tN chief characteristic Is activity in right doing. It is a positive life, a progressive, earnest endeavor to reach a higher piano of experience. Thoro is strong reason to believe that tho first discovery of coal on this conti nent was nmdo in Illinois, by the early French explorers, some time between 1H73 and KiXO. James Mocl-'arland, author of the "Coal Regions of Amer ica," says: It is remarkable that the first dlscovory of coal in America of which there Is an account in a printed book whs iniul'i by Father Hennepin, more than 200 years ago. Hennepin's map, accompanying the edition of this journal published in 1(108, locates a coal mine in tho bluffs of the Illinois river near Ottawa, where an inferior quality of bituminous coal comes to the surface. Referring to this record left by Henne pin, R. C. Taylor, another high author ity In economic goology, says: "This Is the earliest notice on record of the existonce of coal in America." It may be questioned If there has ever been a time when actual purchases of goods have run so far ahead of produc tion as they do now. It is beginning to be the fact in most other branches of industry, as it has been for sometime in the iron and steel manufacture, that many works are compelled to decline largo ordors, and many buyers are seek ing in vain for a place to put contracts. It is not strange under such conditions, that works aro crowded and many rim ing overtime, nor that concorns long Idle are being brought Into operation again. Scarcity of competent labor hinders in many directions, and it is doubtful whether the labor of tho coun try was ever more fully employed. Differences about wages are remarkably rare, and concessions are generally made to avoid stoppages. 7im' Review. Constables are required by law to make a sworn statement to each court of quarter sesssions as to whether the guide board luw is complied with, which is as follows: "Tho supervisors shull cause posts to be erected at the Inter section of all public roads within their respective townships (where trees are not oonvonlont) with boards (Irmly fixed thereon, and lndox-hand pointing to the direction of such roads, on which boards shall be Inscribed in large and legible characters, the nnmo of the town, village, or place to which such road muy lead, and the distance thore on computed in miles. It any super visor shall, after ten days personal no tice, neglect or refuse to put up or keep In repair, index-boards as uforesald, such supervisor shall for every such offense, forfeit and pay a sum not ex ceeding $10. Victor Hugo wrote lu his old age: "I feel in myself the future life. I am risiug, I know toward tho sky. The sunshine is over my head. Heaven lights me with the reflection of uukuown worlds. You say tho soul is nothing but the result of bodily powers. Why then is my soul the more luminous when my bodily powers begin to full? Winter is on my head and eternal spring is in my heart. Tho nearer I approach the end tho plainer I hoar around me the Immortal byuiphouies of the worlds which unite me. It Is marvellous, yet simple. It is a fairy tale, and it Is a history. For half a century I have been writing my thoughts in prose, verse, history, philosophy, drama, romance, tradition, satire, ode, song I have tried all. Uut I feel I havo pot said the thousandth part of what Is in me. When I go down to the grave I can say like many others, 'I have finished my day's work,' but I cauuot say, 'I have finished my life.' My day's work will begin the next morning. The tomb is not a blind alley, it is a thoroughfare. It closes in the twilight to open with the dawn. I improve every hour be cause I love this world as my fatherland. My work is only a beginning. My work is hardly above Its foundation. I would be glad to see it mounting and mount ing forever. The thirst for the Infinite proves Infinity." THE FATHER IN "PEN." Children of William Dodson Left to Look Out for Themselves. The family of Wm. Dodson, formerly of Spring Creek, F,lk county, who with his brothor Frank was convicted of mur dering Ix-wls Hollman, the Jew peddler, in Jefferson county, near the Klk coun ty lino, have been having a hard time of It, according to the following article published in tho Pittsburg Dispatch: "Rhoda Dodsoi, aged 12 yoars, homo less, daughter of a convict In tho West ern Penitentiary, applied to the Alle gheny Department of Charities yester day for transportation to F.rlu to join her two brothers and two sisters, who are in an orphan asylum in that city. She was sent back to Black Hawk, near Heaver Kails, where she has been living with tho family of "Link" Davidson, a former convict of tho Western Pen itentiary. "The child is bright and attractive and told A pitiful story. She said her uncle and father were convicted of the murder of a man ut Ridgwuy, Klk county, three years ago nnd that her father, William Dndson, had been sen tenced to tho js'iiltentiary for twelve years. Her father's conviction had re sulted In breaking up their home, and sho said her mother, unable to provide for her children longer, deserted them at Brookvlllo last January. Her broth ers, aged 2 and 15 years, and her sisters, aged 4 and ft, were sent to F.rlo, white Rhoda came directly to Allegheny to see her father ill prison. "Davidson was released about that timo and Dodson asked him to take caro of littlo Rhoda. Davidson took the girl home with him. and she re mained there until yesterday. She was notoontented, however, and decided to leave. She came to Allegheny and saw hor father again. An affecting scene took pluco when the two met." People Who Pay the Printer.
