Of such a disposition as to win and keep friend*;, ever ready to help others, thoroughly unselfish, and an ardent worker in circles of the Presbyterian church, the death of the young woman causes deep sorrow in her home town and vicinity. She was the oldest of a family of seven and is survived by her father and mother, Tillie, Nellie. Hugh, Albert, .hannettc. Marguar'te and Ethel, all at home. The death of the yonng woman came as a great shock to the residents of Harmony and vicinity. In the Marling household a slight case of scarlet Fever had developed and tins young lady went to the home of David Carrick to remain until the quarantine was lifted. On Sunday evening she was taken ill, but speedily rallied and on Tuesday was feeling especially good. Toward evening she suffered a sinking spell and a short time later; was dead.

The weather prohibited a prolongation of the affair following the feast and by 7 o'clock the farm was deserted.At 5 o'clock the big crowd was seated to the groaning tables spread beneath the roof of the spacious wagon shed on the Means farm. Roast pig never tasted so delicious and the substantial* and delicacies that attended were never-more tasty. William Falrman, Esq., S. A. Rinn and W. \Y. Winslow, Esq., gave short, but wholly delightful talks after which the officers, who have served for several years, were re-elected. They were: K. A. Rinn, president; l)r. 11. W.

With the rain alternately falling in' torrents and in drizzles those who remained at home yesterday must have pictured a rain-bedraggled, down in the month crowd of about twenty or thirty going through the pretense ol enjoying themselves at the ninth annual feast of the Chestnut Hldgo Chester White club.

The body will be taken from the home of August Weber at 9 o'clock and removed to the Reformed church at Trontville. Interment will be made In the Union cemetery at Trontville. She is survived by two sons, P. .1. Weber, of DuBois, and August Weber, of Big Run. J. A. Weber, for years Punxsutawiu'x's most prominent merchant, who died a short time ago, was a son of the aged woman. Mrs. Weber wa« a member of the Reformed church and practically all her life was an ardent worker in the cause . Of a gentle, loving disposition, "Grandmother" Weber was known and loved by all. The deceased was born In Geriflany and came to this country when bin a young girl. She was the last of her family, a brother, Jacob Hoeh, of near this place, having died but a short time ago. With her husband the deceased made her home on the Weber farm near Troutvllle practically all her life. Since the death of her husband she had been living with her son, August, of Illg Run, and it was there that death came to her, the ravages of old age being responsible for her death. Mrs. Margaret Hoeh Weber, relict of Peter Weber, died at the home of her son, August Weber, of Big Run, at o o'clock this morning.

A double, followed by an error, gave them a run in the last half of the eleventh Hut there were two out when the rn»« came over, and it was the Athletics* game when a moment later the only occupant of the bases was out in an attempt to steal second. Backed up by the splendid work of .lack Coombs, the Kt-nebunk "iron man," who pitched one of the greatest games of his career and held New York runless from the third inning almost to the game's very end, the American leaiftieivs pounded their way to victory. They tied the score when linker. their brilliant third baseman, who won Monday's game with a home .1111. picked out one of Matty's benders and drove it into the far reaches of the right field stand for a homer in the ninth. They won our in the wleventli on three safe hits, helped out by two (iiant errors. The White Elephants achieved this feat on their rivals' own grounds, facing the great Mathewson, who han puzzled them into the loss of one world's series and who had started bravely in an attempt to make history repeat itself. Three times in 1905 and once this year the Athletics had fallen victims to Mathewson'* wizardry. Yesterday they finally broke through his guard and fell upon him so heavily in the latter part of the tense struggle that the grea* boxman and his mates were swept off their feet. NEW YORK. Oct.

A splendid exhibition of waterproof Christianity was manifested in the good attendance at the evangelistic meeting last evening for a rainy night. The weather was not dry, neither was the meeting which was full of life and interest from start to finish. The choir and audience sang "Christ Is the Sunny Side of Life," and Mr. Mills told the audience when they sang the word "sunny" to smile from east to west, "Don't go about with a long face like the donkey whom the little girl though had gotten religion be* cause he had a long face like her grandfather,"' said he. The audience thereafter smiled and sang with evident enjoyment. "I am so glad that so many of you can swim," said Evangelist Davis, "you can. always look out for a good meeting on a night like this." Tie then asked for verses of scripture from the audience and there was :i general response from them. Evangelist Davis said "Some people pray to God but they forget to praise Him enough. What have you got to praise Him for?" A praise service followed in which many thanked God for various blessings. Evangelist Davis preached a characteristic sermon from the text, "Have Faith in God." He said in part: "Whether you have faith in your pastors or the evangelists yon ought to have faith in God, and when you have faith In Him you can do great things. Joshua was a man who accomplished mighty things because he had faith in God. God MRS.
