Then couie hack here and see if we've not precisely the same sorts of fabrics and just as extreme styles in That is where the fatal misapprehension occurs with most people. They forget that a newspaper has a character to sustain, just the same as an individual, and that the editor is responsible for every article to which there is no bona title signature attached. A newspaper loses respectability by printing offensive personalities. misrepresentations and exaggerations, Just the same as a man does who stands idly about the streets criticising and condemning his neighbors. A clean newspaper exercises charity and judgment. A newspaper that indulges in vituperation and detraction, and viciously meddles with private matters, and ascribes base motives for every action, is of course, dirty and contemptible. No decent community should have such a scourge indicted upon it. and no man who is responsible for such a publication is entitled to any more respect than the common loafer and blackguard who stands on the street corner and defames all who pass by. "No," he replied, "of course I would not want you to do tht. Hut nobody would need to know who wrote it." "Hut," we protested, "who Is to father this personal tirade? Surely you would not ask us to do anything that you would consider It fully to do yourself—to allow The Spirit to shoulder odium from which you would shrink?" "Sign my name!" he exclaimed, almost throwing a (It. "Not on your life! Why, do you suppose I*want to make enemies of some of the most prominent and Influential people In town? I'm not that big a chump." "Of course," we remarked casually, "you will sign your name to the article." A very reputable gentleman of this town, whom we would fain oblige, came to The Spirit office this morning with a hot roast, done to a turn, for a few of his fellow townsmen. lie chuckedled with glee as he contemplated how it would make them wince as he stuck the cold steel Into their quivering flesh and turned It round. Rev. Dr. J. S. Dickson, of New York, ono of the educational leaders of the denomination, will speak on Wednesday upon the subject of "Education." Another important address will be that of Rev. John Mayhew Fulton, D. I)., of Pittsburg, who on Thursday afternoon will speak upon "The Forward Movement in the Temperance Campaign in the Presbyterian Church." It was expected that Rev. \Y. .1.

The program already prepared Indicates that several clergymen of prominence in the work of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church will be In attendance and addresses of Interest and importance to the denomination will feature the several sessions. A vast amount of important business also remains to be accomplished, particularly that relating to the union of tihe Cumberland and regular Presbyterian churches, as authorized at the spring meetings of the National bodies.

LOEB, Men's and Boy's Furnisher, The only difference would be that on the on hand we'll want only about one half of what he asks, and on the other hand we'll save you all the bother of repeated try-ons, the delay of waiting and not knowing how the finished suit will look. College Itraml Clothes are the only clotheM in the world, created just for chaps in their big teens and little t wenties, and for men who are young enough in spirits to want young men's clothes. They're swagger, smart and snappy—they're IT. As for Kobert H. Lojjgwoll, of Brockwayvillo, he possesses all the qualities necessary in anahlcandfaithful represenatlve, and we could not imagine any reasonable excuse thai any ordinarily intelligent Republican might offer for refusing to support him. We have heard of no attempts in this direction and <lo not expect to hear of any. Hon. S. Taylor North, <>f this place, who has had the experience of one regular and one special session of tin- Legislature, is a man of such well-known character, integrity and public spirit that he needs no endorsement other than his own record. As a representative he has shown himself to be conscientious, painstaking and energetic. He Is an entirely creditable and safe man for the people.The republican candidates of Jefferson County for representative in the General Assembly are both gentlemen of intelligence and character, such as no Republican who believes in the principles and cherishes the traditions of his party could find proper reasons for refusing to support.A FOKTY-NINKR. HAVANA, Sept. li». -Feeling more secure in position since the arrival of Secretarys Taft and Hacon to enforce notice of Presidetn Roosevelt, served on Cuba, that fighting here must cease, the government today Is adopting a more haughty tone toward the Insurgents. There Is every indication that with the danger of their personal capture practically removed. President l'alma and his advisers will stand out for bolder terms In making adjustment with rebels than they dared even intimate before arrival of American Commissioners. Both sides art- now preparing to present their case in the best light, to the American mediators and It is probable that a prolonged hearing will be required to thresh out the question at issue. I The lid on which Secretary Taft sits covers a volcano. It Is considered very doubtful here If he can hold it down. Well-informed men say that American troops will surely come. It is reported that Washington optimism is surprising. Here an almost universal opinion prevails that the Taft peace commission will fall. Moth sides are talking peace, but each insists there will be no concession from the main issues. Secretary Taft was given a cordial reception, und may possibly patch up temporary peace, but Ameri* an residents are confident that, his departure will be followed by renewed hostilities. Teh next step will be the sending out of an army of occupation with provisional government headed by an American soldier as (iorrcvonETAOINI' erican soldier as Governor-General and linally annexation. Havana is hemmed in by revolutionists credibly reported to be eight thousand strong. There are no trains and no telegraph service from Havana, but the city is peaceful. DKI'lTIKS AIIK NOT ( AliLED FOR TRIAL Reuben Hoover, a prosperous fruit grower of California, who spent bis youth among the hills of Clearfield County, in the vicinity of DuBols, is visiting the scenes of his childhood aud friends in this section. Mr. Hoover is seventy-eight years of age. well-preserved and In the full possession of his faculties. He has a vivid recollection of his early experiences In Clearfield County, and loves t<» recount them. He tells how ho struggled among the pine log-heaps and pine stumps in order to clear up ground on which to grow corn and rye, and other products necessary to an existence in those primitive days. Being an energetic and ambitious youth, he reared a pair of oxen with his own hands and sold them for money to pay his expenses at Allegheny College, Meadvllle, of which institution he is a graduate. Mr. Hoover started for California In 1841», riding a horse all the way from Luthersburg to Des Moines, Iowa, and being conveyed from there to the coast by an ox-wagon. The hardships he encountered could hardly be conceived by a man who crosses the continent en a railroad train. But he has had hlH reward. He Ih now spending life's autumn among the orange groves of California in prosperous content, the reward of industry, integrity and frugality. Bit VAX IX SOUTH CAHOMXA. Special to the Spirit. INDIANA, Sept. 19.—The first business to come before the Indiana County Court this morning, was the ease of William Reed and William North, sheriff's deputies, who were charged with the murder of Niehll Macher during the riot at Ernest, June 8, 1306. The case being called a motion to quash the indictment was offered by Harry White, senior counsel for the defendants. After hearing the arguments of the opposing attorneys Judge Telford granted the motion on the grounds that the indictment differed from the information and was therefore illegal. What further action the attorneys for the prosecution will take in the matter has not yet been divulged, but it is probable that new indictments to conform with the substance in the Information will be prepared and the case come up for trial at the December term.' All of the other cases growing out of the riot at Ernest have been postponed until the December term. Privates L. E. Lardln. J. H. Randolph and J.
