was consul at Hanover, Germany,
during which time he and Mrs.
Crane were close friends of the
family of Count von Waldersee, who
commanded the German army and
later the allied armies during the
Boxer uprising in Ghina. When
the Countess von Waldersee visited
this country two or three years ago
she was a guest of the Grane family
in this place.

Pittsburg and in this place. He
"was born in New York Gity in 1832,
Where one brother and two sisters
still reside. His education was
received in the University of New
York, after which he began active
work in the ministry. He had been

Will Lecture on Japan.
On Thursday evening, March 30,
at the Young Men's Ghristian Association Mr. Lee S. Smith, of Pittsburg, will lecture on Japan and the
Japanese. Mr. Smith has traveled
extensively and is in a position to
give a very instructive as well as an
interesting address as he has just
completed a tour of the country,
making a special study of their customs and conditions in a political,
religious and social way. Members
and their families are cordially in-,
invited to be present.
Wall Caved In.
The brick cellar wall, being built
by Contractor McFarland,on Beaver
street near Green, caved in during
the week and nearly buried one of
the workmen in the debris. The
sloping bank, and the loose loam
which was thrown back of the
green wall was the cause of the
collapse.   This will be quite a loss,.
and will hold back the work for a
few days. Mr. E. B. Gray will
occupy this building—it will be a
two-story brick—when completed.
The Abercrombie building, which is
of tiling, is progressing rapidly, and
will be occupied by Mr. John Downing.
Finished the Job.
Mr. John Nash, who has been at
Gary Station, W. Va., since the
middle of January, superintending
the erection of a large power plant
for the United States Goal and Goke
company, has returned home. This
was quite a large job, but was successfully accomplished in a reasonable time by Mr. Nash.
Boys' Brigade.
There will be a meeting in the
lecture room of the Baptist church
next Friday evening for the purpose of forming a boys' brigade.
The meeting will be in the hands of
Rev. H. B. Rankin and will convene
promptly at 7.45. If you are interested in this movement come and
help to organize, for to have a
successful brigade we need you.
The age limit is twelve years.

the Brotherhood of St. Andrew
has invited the Rev. Mr. Beabin, of
St.- Peter's church, Pittsburg, to
