A GREAT TIME IS AWAI1TIIGTHES.P. O.E. Special to The Spirit. GENEVA, Switz., July 10— Four hundred years ago today John Calvin, tht great Protectant reformer, wa* born in Noyon, Franco, and in all protostant countries tho event is observed in a more or less elaborate manner. The city of Geneva which, for many years, was tho scene of Calvin's reformatory activity, and where he died in 1561, made especial efforts to observe the memorable anniversary by dedicating a monument ot' the great I rt former. Calvinists and Protestants in general from all parts of Europe assembled in this city to attend the dedication of the monument and the incic'( ntal exorcises and to do honor to the memory of the most militant evangelist of the Protostant faith. Calvin was not tho author of the 1U formation; Luther is undoubtedly entitled to that distinction. But Calvin. like his co-religionist Knox, was more aggressive than Luther and, although his part as a practical reform< r was acted upon a very narrow stag? his power as thinker and writer. orgf.nizer and systcmatisser, extended o\er the broad field of Kurope. He took up the scattered beliefs • and thoughts of the new evangelical party, and in the loom of his strange, logical ai.d legal intellect wove them into a new system. The circumstances of Calvin's life were of a kind to intensify his apostate zeal and fanaticism SPEW 82 TFARS 01D ►casts CHIP dnng fun at incongruit'cs. HO It is to be hoped that others will follow suit as to the painting of buildings, else it is to be feared that the American Tobacco Company wrl have plastered most of the exposed walls with pictures of bulls, tobac o tags and flaming advertisements. The tobacco people, not content with conducting one of the most infamous trust corporations yet devised by man, insist also upon debauching the architecture arid shocking the aesthetic tastes of the people of every town in the land. already ne ting sucfo/f decorations these hui Highly colored pictures of masculine bovines may have some claims to utility as decorations for .dgn boards set far back in a field, but they are lot considered as being in good taste for parlor wall decorations, either iiiv side or outside. A Chinese dragon ym a wedding invitation would be as much in plac< are for city wa Visitors a i us for perpeJ Evidences of improvement are seen elsewhere on Mahoning Street, u.s in the ease of the Homer Bair residence, vblch has been repairjted. The Whitney Hotel and the, Washington Hotel are each und rgoing repairs In front and in the interior, and much new paint is being used. A fine new cement pavement is to be laid in front of the John R. Pantall block, which is occupied by Joe Beyer's drug store and Brown'.-: Hardware Store. The Farmers and Miners' Trust Company has been using paint with a lavishness that should be a cue to other business firms and property owners, if this town is to look its best when our absent friends and visitors gather 'round on Old Home Week. The deep red on the body of the building is set 'off artistically with green for the wood work, and a pale, yellow on the facings and cornice, giving the entire structure a substantial appearance. That matter out of the way, the excavations from Penn and Union Streets can be dumped into tli«• south approach to the bridge, thus killing two bird* with one stone, as it were. The Tmvn Council is convinced that the P. K. R. Company can be made to pay half of the expense of erecting the overhead railroad bridge, which is in reality a part of the south approach to the Penn Street bridge, hence the entire project depends upon the county work at the north side. Upon the turn this matter takes will hinge the paving of Penn Street from the bridge approach, and Union Street. The Borough Council Is in a mood to begin paving, but do not deem It advisable to proceed until the bridge approach has been constructed.The Commissioners are in a mood to proceed, but are being held up by property owners who live near the bridge threatening them with damage suits. The Commissioners, therefore, have determined to set a day for next week and come to Punxsutawney, when all who have a complaint to make may be heard and, If possible, pacified. The Commissioners of Jefferson County have opened the bids for the filling of the approach on the north side of the Ponn Street bridge, but as yet the contractor lias not been notified to proceed with the work. Tho Omer B. Depp Transfer Company and Pat McGovern, of this place, were the only bidders, and as the former bid tho lowest, it is probable that they will do the work. WEDDED, BUT HOT MARRIED. SAYS JUDGE Treasurer H. H. McHcnry reported cash on hand, $4,521.79. W. G. Thomas, chairman borough property committee, reported collec- Contlnued on Page Two. Burgess P. O. Freas reported fines, fees and licenses for the month, $188.50. Burgess Freas reported that complaints were being made that the building of John. Recke, West Mahoning Street, is unsafe. Referred to the building committee. H. H. McHenry reported tax collected to the amount of $495.05; James S. Lockard, $101.25. "Touehln' and appertainin" was about the best that could be done, for, although the climate was ideal midsummer oratory, much of which was irrelevant, incompetent and immaterial, flowed as freely as water *n a May freshet. Those not given to oratory being in the majority, however, a lo« of business was transacted and still enough left over for an adjourned meeting. A deal of consideration is to be given to the cause of the Civic Improvement Society and the Burgess who are united in an effort to rid Mahoning Creek and the alleys of rubbrJi. A communication from the Civic Improvement Committee was read, asking further that the Council see to it that the piles of dirt shoveled up by the street laborers following" th» sweeping of the streets, be removed before they get scattered; that the streets be sprinkled and swept Saturday nights; that the green grocery store proprietors be compelled to keep the streets and pavements clean in front of their places of business; that cattle be driven over back alleys instead of the streets, and that the Council prohibit the throwing of confetti during Old Home Week. The mater of throwing confetti was referred to the Old Home Week Association.Things "touchin* and appertainin' " to the beautifying of Punxsutawney, such as clean streets, paving, clearing the creek of rubbish, projecting new sewers, new alleys, Are fighting facilities and settlement of damage suits last night occupied the attention of the City Fathers at the regular meeting which had been set ahead on account of the regular Monday night meeting having fallen on a national holiday. Friends of Mr. Sammis claim f«» him the united .support of Illinois, T« xas, Minnesota, Iowa, California, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana and "tiler of the Middle and Western States, while the toast is generally regarded as favoring Mr. Herman, Already the contest for the office of grand exalted ruler is beginning to excite attention among the delegates. There are two candidates for the high office and a lively and spirited contest is promised. James U. Sam mis, a leading member of the Iowa bar and for the past nine years a member of the committee on laws and the Judiciary of the grand lodge, Ls generally conceded to be the leading candidate. Opposed to Mr. Sammis August ("Garry") Hermann, the baseball magnate and politician of Cincinnati. Headquarters have been opened at the Hotel Alexandria in the interest of Mr. Hermann, and npthing is lacking in the way of money or politics to promote his boom. Special to The Spirit. L()S ANOEL.ES, Cal., July 10.—The advance guard of the thousands of Elks who will be here for the annual convention and reunion in this city next Week arrived today. During the ensuing forty-eight hours special trains arriving at short Intervals will pour tens of thousands of the "best people on earth" into Los Angeles ancf when the Grand Lodge sessions begin Monday it is expected that the attendance will have broken all previous sessions in the history of the Elks' conventions.

Is the oldest member of the House in point of years, and likewise one «>f the 'most popular members of that body. Mr. Sperry is proud of the fact that lie was one of the few men who had faith in John Ericsson and his Moni-1oi and lent his financial aid to the construction of the famous craft. Till.* is not his only claim to fame, however. for he Is justly entitled t<> be called the "father of rural free dunlivery". For a quarter of a century Mr. Sperry was postmaster of New Haven, having been appointed by President Lincoln. During his long connection with the postal service he saw tho benefits that would come from the rural delivery service. It became one of his pot ambitions, and for years he advocated It in season and out of season. It was duo in groat part to his efficient work in Congress that that body appropriated $1.- 750,000** toward maintaining the rural do II very. MAURETANIA BEATSALL WEST BOUND RECORDS Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon, further arrangements not yet having been anounced. Mr. and Mrs Palmer will leave on the evening train for Indiana. Mr. Palmer was first married to Miss Amanda, daughter of William Shields, of Inidana County. Her father, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, died at the age of 112 years, and was buried in the old cemetery in this place in a plot directly back of the John Rumbarger dwelling. He was the oldest person to be buried in Punxsutawney or vicinity. His second wife, who survies him. was Miss Elizabeth Rider, whom he marled a year ago. He is survived also by four sons and four daughters, namely: William, Dough-ton and Andrew, of Indiana, nnd Chief of Police t\ E.

A blacksmith for over 4 0 years, he retired about 20 years aaro to a hom which he purchased In Indiana. Taking up arms in the defense of his country, he went out as a mem bcr of Co. 10. Gist Regiment, and served under the late Captain John Lukehart, of Smicksburg, and was present at Lee's surrender to Grant at the close of the war. His civil life, both before and aft.T the war, was devoted to blacksmithing, in which trade he was an expert. ,'fie was an ardent advocate of the •"cause of temperance all his adult lit' and although he never united with any of the denominations he was a firm believer and bad read Holy Writ until he was familiar with almost every pasage in the Bible. Excepting for a slight illness which he suffered while visiting at the home of his son in this place about three years ago, Mr. Palmer had enjoyed robust health all of his life until his years began to tell. Dunit'l Palmer, of Indiana, father of Chief of Police" Clayton E. Palmer, of this place, died suddenly last night, of bronchial trouble, aged 82 years, 11 month* and 29 days. Mr. Paltrier had had a slight attack of bronchitis, which kept him indoors for a few weeks, but w;is feeling quite well when the Chief visited him last Thursday. Shortly after supper last nirrht x->>- was taken suddenly ill and despite the efforts of .physicians could not be milled.Ml) MEANEST MAN Representatives Calderhead, of Kansas and Fordney, of Michigan, who were named in spite of the fact that tney are outranked by Hill and Needham, are declared to be "stand-patters" ot the most pronounced type. Friends of Chairman Payne are authority for the statement, that he did not consent to Speaker Cannon's selections until after he had entered a vigorous protest. It Is currently reported that the two were engaged in a heated argument over the question before the House assembled yesterday. | Mr. Payne was powerless to prevent the Speaker from selecting such conferees as he chose. After his conference with the Speaker he is said to have told a number of his friends that he believed the conferees had been chosen with a view to putting tiie tariff bill through jis speedily as possible along Senate lines. By this was meant that the House conferees were expected to acquiesce in the principal increases in rates that had been made by the Senate. land. A soon as tho Senate adjourned ye.s-t. rday Mr. Aldrieh telephoned to .Mr. Payne .asking him to get the House conferee-.; logelher and to meet the Senate conferees in the Finance (Committee rooms in !he Senate office building it .'.30 p. m Senator Aldrieh then went to the White House, where he had an extended conference with President Tatt. who had just re• nrni d to W tshington fruin New ling- The men in charge of the hill ire the most skilled of the legislative veterans, and despite the substantial group of Republicans who are opposed to the bill, it is expected that the measure will eventually pass much the same as It is now. The manner in which the House conferees on the tariff bill were selected by Speaker Cannon is occasioning much criticism in the House and an effort Is being maty to have President Taft take a part In the threatened controversy. According i<> current report Mr. Payne sought t<» have the Republican conl«■ res named in order of their seniority, as was done in the Senate. The Speaker chose the eonferes himself, ignoring Representatives Hill of Connecticut and Needham of California.By United Press. WASHINGTON, I) C., July 10.— With the meeting of the Conference ' ommittoe today the construction of the real tariff bill began. Democratic members «»t both houses have? been barred from its sessions. The greatest importance attaches tit the work of the Conference Committee for the reason that its report must either be adopted or rejected by Congress in its entirety. Pile members who oppose certain features of the "bill .Ue usually content to stand on their record niadu during the debate on the bill, and It is probable that they will not cast their votes against the entire measure when it is presented for their final approval.ROCKEFELLER GIVES ANOTHER $10,000,000 Wednesday night. they were awakened by a prowler who made aw if t i commit a burglars', but he was quickly driven off with the alternative of being "dogged" and shot up.

Thursday Mrs. O'Connor and Mrs Traeey and a bevy of children visited camp and ate dinner with the quartette. The ladies enjoyed the repast highly, but made wry faces later in the day when they learned that the boys had cooked the potatoes and groundhog in the same kettle that they had used to boll anil launder their mid-week washing. The lads had guns anil a dog with them, but the canine was afraid of groundhogs and they were compelled to buy another one or go without fresh meat.

The seriousness o fthe case and the multitude of delicate questions involved was apparent at once. Stanleywletz was released on bonds and arrangements were made to get a Supreme Court decision at once. The young Pole was in a rjnandry. He was remanded back to jail. His attorney went before Judge Seanlan of the Circuit Court and swore out a writ of habeas corpus. "I cannot issue you another," said clerk Sol Monson. "You are married already, according to the record on tile in this office." Stanleywietz went after another marriage license. The question as to the legality of such marriages arose in a new form. Joseph Stanleykiewitz had been arrested on complaint of Nora J'ajak. To avoid prosecution he offered to marry the girl. She accepted the offer. Stanloykiewitz got a marriage lieense and was married in the oillce of the county clerk by Justice of the Peace Tompkins, of Oak Park. Thursday his case was called before municipal Judge Rutler. The young man's attorney asked that the case be discontinued because of the marriage. "There has been no marriage,' said Judge Butler decisively. "1 cannot discontinue the case." He says in an opinion that such marriages that have taken place are invalid. He is at sea when it comes to a question of the legal standing of the children and of the property interests involved. Chief Justice Olson, of the municipal court, says flatly that the country justices of the peace have no right to unite persons in marriage within the city limits. ClflOACiO, July 10.—The Supreme Court of Illinois will be called upon to decide whether thousands of men and women who have been married by Justices of the peace In Chicago since the municipal court act went into effect are legally wedded.

Being too late for replanting the garden Jhe owner by reason of the action of his late tenant Is handicapped In the re-renting of his property and, according to the opinion of attorneys, has a clear case for dairiages. Mr. Ncorr lives in the country and did not know what had taken place until the dwelling had been vacated, else there would. have been an effort made to recover damages. According to the law made and provided for such cases the renter was acting outside of his rights when he destroyed the garden, as growing vegetables are real estate unless they are used by the tenant before his lease terminates. The man came here early in the spring, according to our informant, to promote some sort, of a secret society, rented the dwelling in question, moved in, and in due time planted a garden. A few days since he found it necessary to move away and the products of the garden were offered for sale. Not having given the fact wide publicity he failed to find a buyer, whereupon the family wtjnt odt into the garden and uprooted every stalk of growing vegetables, including peas, benns, lettuce, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, etc., and scattered them to the four winds.

GENEVA, Switz., July 10— Four hundred years ago today John Calvin, tht great Protectant reformer, wa* born in Noyon, Franco, and in all protostant countries tho event is observed in a more or less elaborate manner. The city of Geneva which, for many years, was tho scene of Calvin's reformatory activity, and where he died in 1561, made especial efforts to observe the memorable anniversary by dedicating a monument ot' the great I rt former. Calvinists and Protestants in general from all parts of Europe assembled in this city to attend the dedication of the monument and the incic'( ntal exorcises and to do honor to the memory of the most militant evangelist of the Protostant faith. Calvin was not tho author of the 1U formation; Luther is undoubtedly entitled to that distinction. But Calvin. like his co-religionist Knox, was more aggressive than Luther and, although his part as a practical reform< r was acted upon a very narrow stag? his power as thinker and writer. orgf.nizer and systcmatisser, extended o\er the broad field of Kurope. He took up the scattered beliefs • and thoughts of the new evangelical party, and in the loom of his strange, logical ai.d legal intellect wove them into a new system. The circumstances of Calvin's life were of a kind to intensify his apostate zeal and fanaticism SPEW 82 TFARS 01D ►casts CHIP dnng fun at incongruit'cs.

The Whitney Hotel and the, Washington Hotel are each und rgoing repairs In front and in the interior, and much new paint is being used. A fine new cement pavement is to be laid in front of the John R. Pantall block, which is occupied by Joe Beyer's drug store and Brown'.-: Hardware Store. The Farmers and Miners' Trust Company has been using paint with a lavishness that should be a cue to other business firms and property owners, if this town is to look its best when our absent friends and visitors gather 'round on Old Home Week. The deep red on the body of the building is set 'off artistically with green for the wood work, and a pale, yellow on the facings and cornice, giving the entire structure a substantial appearance. That matter out of the way, the excavations from Penn and Union Streets can be dumped into tli«• south approach to the bridge, thus killing two bird* with one stone, as it were. The Tmvn Council is convinced that the P. K. R. Company can be made to pay half of the expense of erecting the overhead railroad bridge, which is in reality a part of the south approach to the Penn Street bridge, hence the entire project depends upon the county work at the north side. Upon the turn this matter takes will hinge the paving of Penn Street from the bridge approach, and Union Street. The Borough Council Is in a mood to begin paving, but do not deem It advisable to proceed until the bridge approach has been constructed.The Commissioners are in a mood to proceed, but are being held up by property owners who live near the bridge threatening them with damage suits. The Commissioners, therefore, have determined to set a day for next week and come to Punxsutawney, when all who have a complaint to make may be heard and, If possible, pacified. The Commissioners of Jefferson County have opened the bids for the filling of the approach on the north side of the Ponn Street bridge, but as yet the contractor lias not been notified to proceed with the work. Tho Omer B. Depp Transfer Company and Pat McGovern, of this place, were the only bidders, and as the former bid tho lowest, it is probable that they will do the work. WEDDED, BUT HOT MARRIED.

"Touehln' and appertainin" was about the best that could be done, for, although the climate was ideal midsummer oratory, much of which was irrelevant, incompetent and immaterial, flowed as freely as water *n a May freshet. Those not given to oratory being in the majority, however, a lo« of business was transacted and still enough left over for an adjourned meeting. A deal of consideration is to be given to the cause of the Civic Improvement Society and the Burgess who are united in an effort to rid Mahoning Creek and the alleys of rubbrJi. A communication from the Civic Improvement Committee was read, asking further that the Council see to it that the piles of dirt shoveled up by the street laborers following" th» sweeping of the streets, be removed before they get scattered; that the streets be sprinkled and swept Saturday nights; that the green grocery store proprietors be compelled to keep the streets and pavements clean in front of their places of business; that cattle be driven over back alleys instead of the streets, and that the Council prohibit the throwing of confetti during Old Home Week. The mater of throwing confetti was referred to the Old Home Week Association.Things "touchin* and appertainin' " to the beautifying of Punxsutawney, such as clean streets, paving, clearing the creek of rubbish, projecting new sewers, new alleys, Are fighting facilities and settlement of damage suits last night occupied the attention of the City Fathers at the regular meeting which had been set ahead on account of the regular Monday night meeting having fallen on a national holiday.

Friends of Chairman Payne are authority for the statement, that he did not consent to Speaker Cannon's selections until after he had entered a vigorous protest. It Is currently reported that the two were engaged in a heated argument over the question before the House assembled yesterday. | Mr. Payne was powerless to prevent the Speaker from selecting such conferees as he chose. After his conference with the Speaker he is said to have told a number of his friends that he believed the conferees had been chosen with a view to putting tiie tariff bill through jis speedily as possible along Senate lines. By this was meant that the House conferees were expected to acquiesce in the principal increases in rates that had been made by the Senate. land.

The seriousness o fthe case and the multitude of delicate questions involved was apparent at once. Stanleywletz was released on bonds and arrangements were made to get a Supreme Court decision at once. The young Pole was in a rjnandry. He was remanded back to jail. His attorney went before Judge Seanlan of the Circuit Court and swore out a writ of habeas corpus. "I cannot issue you another," said clerk Sol Monson. "You are married already, according to the record on tile in this office." Stanleywietz went after another marriage license. The question as to the legality of such marriages arose in a new form. Joseph Stanleykiewitz had been arrested on complaint of Nora J'ajak. To avoid prosecution he offered to marry the girl. She accepted the offer. Stanloykiewitz got a marriage lieense and was married in the oillce of the county clerk by Justice of the Peace Tompkins, of Oak Park. Thursday his case was called before municipal Judge Rutler. The young man's attorney asked that the case be discontinued because of the marriage. "There has been no marriage,' said Judge Butler decisively. "1 cannot discontinue the case." He says in an opinion that such marriages that have taken place are invalid. He is at sea when it comes to a question of the legal standing of the children and of the property interests involved. Chief Justice Olson, of the municipal court, says flatly that the country justices of the peace have no right to unite persons in marriage within the city limits. ClflOACiO, July 10.—The Supreme Court of Illinois will be called upon to decide whether thousands of men and women who have been married by Justices of the peace In Chicago since the municipal court act went into effect are legally wedded.
