THE Westmoreland liar Association at
a meeting Thursday indorsed Judge
Harry White, of Indiana county, as a
candidate lor Supreme Judge. The in-dorsement
was made Irrespective of
party. Judge White would fill the bill.
IT IS refreshing to learn that Mrs.
Lockwood will again be the Presidential
standard bearer of the Woman’s Right’s
party. Belva says her heart and soul are
completely wrapped up in this cause.
MT. PLEASANT has capitalists who
ought to turn over a new leaf and help to
do something for their town that would
make a monument to tlielr memory much
more lasting than marble.
THE speak-easy business continues to
flourish here as it always has done and
will continue to do until the worse than
useless local option law shall have been
repealed.
THE JOURNAL takes little stock in Pro-hibitionists
as a party and yet it believes
the Baker law denies them constitutional
rights at the ballot box.
THE Democratic majority in the House
is so large that it is no wonder Speaker
Crisp’s supply of good committee ap-pointments
ran short.
IT was tardy justice that keep Bowser,
the tool, in prison so long after Weston,
the principal, was pardoned,
THE male members of the Siegle fam-ily
seems to have a peculiar faculty of
getting into dirty scrapes.
WE trust every JOURNAL reader may
lave a Happy New Year.

THE DEATH OF MRS. CAPTAIN WILL-IAM
M, JORDAN ON TUESDAY.
Heart Pal I nre the Cause. Her Departure
UreakH a llemnrknlile Chain of
Longevity In Her Family.
Mrs. Captain William M. Jordan, ol
this place, died on Tuesday afternoon
last at 5 o’clock. The direct cause of her
death was fatly degeneration of the
heart. Owing to circumstances the in-terment
took place tbe following after
noon at four o’clock, tbe funeral servi-ces
being conducted by Rev. Mr. Elliott,
of the Presbyterian church, at the late
home of the deceased on West Main
street. Though not wholly unexpected,
for the shadow of the death angel had
been over her life for weeks,—yet the
suddenness of the fatal terminature of
her long illness came as a swift blow to
her family and friends.
The death of Mrs. Jordan is the first
break in a remarkabte chain of longevity
that has few parallels in this or other
states. Although in the 59ih year of
her age, yet her grandmother, Mrs. Da-vid
Levan, of Levansville, aged 94, and
her mother, Mrs. Tayman, of Somerset,
aged 74, are still living in the enjoyment
of health. Five living generations of
her connection were represented in Mrs.
Jordan’s immediate family.
Maiinda Susan Tayman Jordan was
born in Levansville, Somerset county,
November 10, 1833. Her family had
been pioneers in the great wilderness
beyond the Allegheny divide. She was
of that hardy stock that not only blazed
the first paths through the western wil-derness,
but whose Influence haB been
felt for a century In Southwestern Penn
sylvania. Mias Tayman was married to
Captain William M. Jordan on Oct. 0th,
1838, and the result of this most happy
conjugal union was six children, three of
whom survive her: Mrs. Mary Mo-
Masters and Miss Grace Jordan, of Mt.
Pleasant, and MTB. Webb Parker, of
Somerset. During all tbe period of her
married life Mrs Jordan was a resident
ofMt. Pleasant, where, as the center of
a happy home, she was loved and re
spected not only within its walls but by
the large circle of friends by whom she
was surrounded.
The death of Mrs. Jordan while still in
the prime of life,—for, numbered by
years, her pathway toward the sunset of
age had not grown to a steep decline,—
falls with added sorrow upon the older
residents of Mt. Pleasant. The sweep of
death’s sythe is growing more frequent;
their numbers are being Btciidily deci
nated.
The funeral on Wednesday afternoon
was one of the most touching episodes,
and the scene as the casket wa9 lowered
into the open grave with the gray shad-ows
of evening closing around like a
benediction will not soon be torgotten
by those who were present. A member
of the Presbyterian church Mrs. Jordan
died peacefully in tbe blessed hope of a
glorious immortality. A faithful wife, a
loving mother, a sincere friend, she qui-etly
and unostentatiously filled the
sphere of usefulness and duty that had
been appointed to her.
AN UGLY CHARGE
Joseph Mcl.i>ii"lil»n Gets It and the Other
Applicants are Hot.
A dispatch from Greensburg says the
fight for the position of Mortgage Clerk
at the court house ended -Saturday u'ght
by the appointment of Joseph McLaugh
lin, of Allegheny township. It was a
strictly Democratic fight, the appointing
power being a Democratic Board of Com-missioners.
From appcsrauces some bad
blood has been engendered, two or three
of the disappointed applicants claiming
that they had pledges from a majority of
the members of the hoard. The pcsltion
is a paying one, and as a consequence
there was no dearth of applicants.
Among the most prominent were County
Detective Alcorn, D.l\ Sabi, A. C. VVei-mer
and Thomas Turney, all political
hustlers.
Made Again*! Jacob Slrglr, a Mt. Plrns-
Riit Hebrew Peddler.
On Wednesday last Constable Thomas
IVashabaugh, of Greensburg, came here
and arrested Jacob Seigle, a well known
Hebrew peddler, upon information made
by Isaac Deaner, of this place, before
’Squire Loor, a county seat justice of the
peace. The charge is felonious rape
upon the prosecutor’s 18 year old sister,
Rebekah. The defendant was taken be-fore
Justice Loor and then released by
the court fixing the bail at $1,00(1.
The story as told by Isaac Deaner is
that Seigle got his sister to come to Mt.
Pleasant and keep house for him until
his wife came over from the old country,
and it was while she was acting in that
capacity that he assaulted her. The
prosecutor alsa^claims that Seigle is guil-ty
of taking goods and money which he
had intrusted to the defendant’s care
while he was here.
When the assault story got out some
two weeks ago Seigle and his friends, it
is said, got the girl to make an afildavit
to his innocence of the charge and then
sent her away. Her brother then, as sta
ted last week, had Seigle arrested and
bound over to court on a charge of lar-ceny
by bailee. Seigle retaliated by
having Deaner arrested for peddling
without a license, but the prosecutor
failed to appear when the hearing was
called before Juslice McWilliams, of the
East End, who dismissed the ease.
Deaner’s next move was to enter prose
cution against Seigle for the criminal as-sault
said to have been made on his
sister.
A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
A Fayette Teacher Dl*intii*ed.
Superintendent Herrington, of Fayette
county, has revoked the certificate of
Calvin L. Smith, a Wharton towusbip
school teacher, for alleged intemperance.
Smith, it Is oharged, had been imbibing
quite freely during taut week’s institute
at Uniontown, and the Superintendent
had beeu keeping an eve on him. Smith
is also a school director of Wharton
township, having been appointed to till
a vacancy in the board. This will likely
end his school teaching in that county.
Company Store Robbed,
Friday night about It o’clock, the store
and office of Keister & Co. at tbe Frauk-lyn
mines, two and one half miles south
of Soottdale, were burglarized and the
money drawers rifled. The office safe
was blowuropeu and wrecked, but very
little money was obtained. No clew has
been obtained.
How Two Somerset Coal Miners Tieated
Tlit tr Employer.
John Bittner, an old man who lives
near Hoovereville, Somerset, is in a pre-carious
condition from wounds received
at the hands of James-Turner and David
Solmon, two young Irish coal diggers on
Thursday last. Bittner’s mouth was
spilt back to his ears on both sides and
bis tongue was cut atmoBt In two near
ttie root. He was In a very weak condi-tion
and could only talk in a faint tone.
He said that he was awakened about 3
o'clock that morning by Turner and
Solmon, who told him that they had
come to cut his tongue out. He begged
them not to, but they iusisted that they
had come to kill him. The next moment
one of the men knocked him down and
held him while the other did the cutting.
He was too weak to make his condition
known, the nearest neighbor being a half
mile distant. Fortunately his brutal as-sailants
told ot their fiendish work and
Constable Hershberger was able to care
for the wounded man and arrest the cut-ters
who are now in jail at Somerset.
The motive for the crime is not positively
known, but it Is believed to he about
! Borne money matters. The prisoners had
I both worked for Bittner for a few days
[and it ii said that he refused to pay them.

NEARING THE END. COMERS AND GOERS.
DR. WAKEFIELD NOT EXPECTED TO
LIVE MANY DAYS.
A Brief Life Sketch of Ilia Long Years of
Work For the Master In the
Methodist Chnrch.
Dr. Samuel Wakefield, of West New-ton,
who recently suffered a stroke of
paralyses, is not expected to live many
days. At first he seemed on a fair way
to recovery, but there came a relapse last
week and the end is near at hand.
Rev. Dr. Wakefield is the oldest living
minister in Western Pennsylvania. His
92d birthday was celebrated on March 6
last. He was born in Westmoreland
county, and spent his youth on a farm.
By nature he was studious, and he ap
piled all his leisure to gaining an educa-tion.
He had a tendency for theology
and music and soon became profleent in
knowledge of each. Dr. Wakefield be-came
a minister and joined the Pittsburg
conference in 1334. His whole ministe-rial
life was spent within its bounds.
His first charge WHS at Laurel Hill. Un-til
he was finally superannuated, in 1880
lie held the following posts: 1833, Un-iontown
circuit; 1836, Somerfield; 1837-
38, Connellsville; 1839 42, Uniontown
district as presiding eider; 1843, Finley-ville:
1843, West Newton; 1844, Finley-ville;
1845, Fayette; 1840 47, Liberty
street, Pittsburg; 1842-49, West Newton;
1850 51, Keds’one; 1852, Beallsville;
1853 56, Allegheny district aB presiding
elder; 1857, Mt. Pleasant and West New
ton; 1858 59, Itustraver and Elizabeth;
1860 61, Redstone and Connellsville;
1862, Uniontown; 1803, Connellsville;
1864 65, Rostraver; 1860, Peter’s Creek;
1867, superannuated; 1808, Waynesburg;
18G9, Redstone; 1870, Fayette City and
Perryopolis; 1871, Bentleysville; 1872 74,
Mt. Pleasant; 1875 76, Ltgonier; 1876 78,
West Newton, and 1879, Myersdale.
Before entering upon his ministerial
life Dr. Wakefield was a school teacher,
and paid much attention to his studies
ot music. His “Buckwheat Notes” was
one of the first text books of music pub-lished
west of the Allegheny mountains.
He was something ofa mechanical genius,
too; and he built the first reed organ
known in this part of the state. All the
work in it was done witli his own hands.
The old instrument is still in existence.
His principal publication was “Wake
field’s Theology,” which became and is
now a standard elementary study in the
Methodist Episcopal seminaries, it hav
ing been adopted by the church. He re-cently
completed the compilation of a
volume of his own sermons, which is to
be published soon. Dr. Wakefield rep-resented
the Pittsburg conference in the
General conference on two occasions—
in 1852 and 1856. He was a methodical
man and accomplished a great deal of
work in his lifetime. In his prime he
was one of the leaders of the Pittsburg
conference and attended their meetings
regularly, being present at the last one,
in June, at Uniontown.
He was elected a member of the Leg-islature
by Westmoreland Democrats in
1862. His family consists of his wife,
who is in her 90th year, four suns and
two daughters, who are all married and
the heads of families.

ONE LIKELY TO GO.
THREE KEYSTONE CONGRESSMEN
WHOSE SEATS ARE CONTESTED.
A SHORT MURDER TRIAL.
Ward Freed After Serving Ten Yeeri
for the Means Killing.
James W. Ward was tried and acquit-ted
in the Allegneny county criminal
court, Monday last, in about an hour’s
time. Ward had assaulted Miss Ellen
MeaDS and her sister, two aged maiden
ladies who lived in Franklin township,
this county, in 1881 whilb trying to rob
their house. The sister died and Ward
was sentenced 10 years to the peniten-tiary
for the crime in the Westmoreland
courts. The other Injured woman
moved to Allegheny and lived there un-til
her death in February, 1882. Ward’s
term expired last spring. He was at
once rearrested on the charge of murder
of the woman who died in Allegheny
county.
At Monday’s trial Ward was defended
by Major E. A. Montooth and Colonel
W. D. Moore. Dr. H. K. Beattie waB
the only witness for the prosecution. He
said at a post mortem examination he
found two ribs of the deceased had been
broken, but that he couid not say her
death had been hastened one day.
District Attorney Burleigh did not ask
for conviction. The jury rendered a
verdict without leaving the box. Ward
was at once released and after shaking
hands with his counsel left for his home
at New Castle to live with his mother,
who was overjoyed at her son’s acquittal
and awaited him as he left the prisoner's
box, a free man.
A NEW POLITICAL WRINKLE.
How Fayette Prohibitionist* ars Trjrlug
to Get Votes,
The Prohibitionists of Fayette county
ate assuming an activity that is alto-gether
unusual for them. They are now
trying the Iowa plan on the people, and
are going over the county with petitions
or agreements that provide that whoever
may sign his name thereon agrees to
vote the Prohibition ticket at the next
Presidential election, providing it be
shown that the Prohibition party can
poll 1.000,000 votes in this state.
These agreements are to be footed up
near election time, and then if they are
large enough all signers will be called
upon to eland to their agreement. Many
people of both parties are signing the
petitions, but Republican signers seem
to be in the majority. It is entirely a
now wrinkle, and leading Republicans
regard the whole thing as a trick to
catch Republican votes, as they reason
that the Prohibitionists will he eure to
ahow up enough signers to claim the
votes of all signing. Those who sign
claim that they do eo because they are
in sympathy with prohibition, pure and
simple, but believe that the party it\ this
state will not be able to show next year
a million voters on their papers. Fay
ette county voted heavily for the pro
hibitory amendment.
AROUND ANDABOUT.
A ROW AMONG LAWYERS.
Members of the Ureeiiftbarg Bar Dislike
Their Late Mercantile Hating.
The members of the Greensburg Bar
Association are greatly exercised over
the rating just made by one of the lead
ing mercantile associations. The law-yers
always find a place in the report,
and it is customary that some good law
yer, appointed by the mercantile asso-ciation,
send to the publishers the stand-ing
of the members of the bar.
In this instance it is evident that the
disciple of Blackstone, wtio was detailed
to “write up” his fellow attorneys, was
inclined to kill off a few of tbe older
members, whose hold upon the purses of
foreign clients, lie thought, should be
broken. While some of the old estab
lished lawyers at the bar are quoted ae
being '.. the top rung in the profession,
they are put down as "not trustworthy.”
Noticeable among this class are ex-
Senator H. P. Laird, D. S. Atkinson,
John R Peoples, Judge Lucien Doty,
ex-Judge Hunter, Senator E. E. Robbins
and others. The firm of Moorhead &
Head are first class and trustworthy, and
a few young lawyers who have been
members of the bar awhile are put in
the same class. Fighting Dick Coulter
and James C. Clark, who have not prac
ticed at the bar for 20 years, are repre
sented as practicing attorneys, and are
happily placed in the first-class column
They state that they are not soliciting
clients at this time.
There are about 70 practicing attorneys
at the bar, and but very few of them
come in for favors at tbe hands of the
mercantile reporter, the older and weal
tbier members having been given a de-cided
roasting on this occasion.
The House Has Taken No Action Yei,
hut It Is Thought IGIther Scull or
Sleaart Will Get Left.
There are three Pennsylvania seats in
Congress being contested for, those ol
Reynolds againet Shonk, in the Twelfth
district, Greevy against Scull in the
Twentieth district, and Craig against
Stewart in the Twenty-fourth district.
The official returns last year showed that
Shonk had a plurality of 1,484; Scull
had a plurality of 520, and Stewart had
a plurality of 123. So far, of course,
nothing has been done with regard to the
cases beyond the filing of briefs by the
contestants with the Clerk of the House.
They will now be referred to the Com-mittee
on Elections, and will probably
he taken up immediately after the holi-days.
In the first case, that of Reynolds
against Shonk, the contestant does not
claim that Mr. Shonk was not elected,
but contends that he should be unsealed
on account of bribery of voters, although
the evideuce In support of the claim is oi
the hearsay order and Mr. Shonk will
likely retain his seat. In the cases of
Scull and Stewart the charge of Illegal
voting is the principal one. This charge
Is based on the fact that many of tho
voters were not registered. The law re-quires
that a registration of all voters he
made by the assessors, but any person
whose name is not on the list can vote
on making affidavit and producing the
affidavits of two qualified electors that
he is a resident of the district and enti-tled
to franchise. To reject unregistered
votes passed by the Election Board would
be to throw out those of qualified electors.
Congress has always hesitated to do this,
and precedents In the cases of Campbell
against Weaver, of Iowa, and Curtin
against Yocum, of Pennsylvania, have
been established when the House deei-cided
to count the unregistered votes. If
these precedents are followed by the
present Congress both Scull and Stewart
will be allowed to retain their sea's.
There is another phase of the case,
however, which will probably change
the result. The Supreme Court of Penn-sylvania
has recently decided that the
Registration statute Is mandatory, nnd
all unregistered votes are illegal, and
cannot under any circumstances be
counted. As the decision of statecourts
on the construction of state constitution
and statutes is usually followed by the
federal authorities, this decision of the
Pennsylvania court will more than
likely be followed by the House, and the
unregistered votes will be rejected. If
the cases are rested entirely on this issue
Mr. Scull will retain Ills seat, while Mr.
Stewart will have to yield to Mr. Craig.
In case the unregistered votes are cast
out in Scull’s district, he will still have
considerable of a majority, while Craig,
the contestant against Stewart, will have
majority of 295. But the general
opinion Is that either Scull or Stewart
will be unseated.

BOWSER PARDONED AT LAST
fter He Had Almost Served Ilia Ter
Years’ Sentence.
The Board of Pardons on Tuesday rec
ommeuded a pardon for Absalom M.
Bowser, who was convicted of murder
in the second degree for the killing ot
Obediah Haymaker, on August 30, 1884,
and sentenced to ten years’ imprison-ment
in the western penitentiary. Hay
maker owned a farm in the prolific gas
region at Murraysville, this county, upon
which Milton Weston, a Chicago finan
cier, claimed to hold a lease for well
drilling. Other gas men wanted the
property, and a dispute arose as to the
legal right of Weston to enter upon the
farm. Weeton’s attorney advised him
that he had a legal right to enter upon
tbe premises, and that if he was repelled
with force he could use force to obtain
possession. Weston secured the aid of a
number of his employes, among them
Bowser, an Irwin policeman, and went
to the farm, whieh was garrisoned by
Btrong force. In the riot that ensued
Haymaker, one of the owners of the
farm, was killed.
Weston and Bowser were each con
victed of murder iu the second degree
although it was proven at the trial that
the action was prompted by the advice
of Weston’s attorney. Weaton was par-doned
several years ago. Bowser’s case
had been before the Pardon Board Bince

for good conduct, would have ex-pired

CLEVER COUNTERFEITERS.
>jliey Cover Up Their Tracks b/ Stealing
Farmers’ Horses
Many Indiana county farmers have
recently had horses stolen and now it is
claimed that the thefts were committed
by a gang of counterfeiters. The method
pursued was to steal a rig from one far-mer,
drive to another, and there leave
the stolen rig and take a new one, thus
making the rounds at fully a dozen pla-ces,
and mixing the farmers’ property
all up. After hard work the farmers
have procured their several properties,
which were evidently exchanged so that
no straight trace could be made of the
thieves.
Following this another howl of indig
nation has arisen. Tbe communities
visited have all suffered largely by hav-ing
exchanged their good money with
some unknown men for both bogus coin
and bills. The best information goee to
show that the headquarters of the gang
are at Stoyestown, or near that hamlet,
while their operations have been sue
cessfully carried out through Indiana,
Cambria and Somerset counties, with in-dications
that the confederates are now
in Westmoreland, makiDg their way
toward Allegheny county. Their tracks
from Stoyestown through Indiana county
and up over tbe mountains to Somerset
are well defined.
The game was cleverly and success-fully
played, the thieves diverting at-tention
to the stolen horses, which were
soon recovered, while they worked bogus
money on people in the district, then
started the chase anew for a stolen horse,
the counterfeiting not being discovered
until they were well out of reach.

They are Arresled on a Wnrraut Taken
Out l»jr James Dewalf, Who Falls
To Push the Case.
On Tuesday last James Dewait, a
Manor Station merchant, came before
Jnstice Keener, of Greensburg. and made
information against Pool & Son., P. S
and Elmer Pool, of the defunct Irwin
hank, charging them with embezzle-ment.
The warrants were placed in the
hands of County Detective Dick Alcorn
who went to Irwin the same afternoon.
The arrests ware accomplished with-out
any excitemet. The officer simply
read the warrants and then awaited the
Pools at the office of Justice Eli McCor-mick,
where they appeared a few min-utes
later, and gave bail each in $1,000
for ttieir appearance before Justice
Keener yesterday morning at 9 o’clock.
Both ot them took it coolly, and did not
appear to he concerned as to the out-come.
Dewait’s statement is:
“On Monday, December 14, about noon
I went to the bank for the purpose of de-positing
some money. I found Elmer
Pool at tbe desk. I asked him as to the
condition of the bank, and he replied
that it was all right, and that they had
lots of money. He said that they had
more money than was needed in their
business at that time, and that they sent
the surplus to the Fort Pitt Bank, of
Pittsburg. I saw a large roll of bank
bills, which he said they were about
sending away, and uponquestioning him
further he said that a bank depositing in
a bank of another city was just the same
as a depositor in a home bank. The
money was subject to check, and could
he drawn when needed. With this as-surance
I deposited $400. The money
was refused me two days later when the
bank closed the second time.”
The arrest of the parties caused con-siderable
commotion in Irwin. The gen-eral
impression is that there is some-thing
radically wrong in the business of
the hank. Peter S. Pool, the senior
member of the firm and lather of Web-ster
and Elmer Pool, enjoys the confi-dence
of the people, and great sympathy
is expressed for him. All eyes turn to
the sons, who, it is now claimed, invol-ved
the bank into its present misfortune.
The Pools emphatically deny any
crookedness and have employed able
attorneys to defend them. Touching the
Dewalt matter, they say that they were
positive at that time that they would tide
over the difficulty. Opinions are divided
as to the wisdom of Dewait’s course. A
good many of the depositors think the
better plan is to await the appraiser’s
report before proceeding to extremities.
The hearing in the case was to have
taken place yesterday at Greensburg be-fore’Squire
Keener, but a telephone to

Tlic Frick Coke Company’* Plan to Watch
Went Virginia Rlvala.
The H. C. Frick Coke Company has
sent S. L. Schoomnaker, who has been
assistant to President Frick, to New
York City to open headquarters and
there represent the company’s interests.
This movement is in a measure dictated
by the conflicting interests of the incom-ng
Secretary of War, Stephen B. Elkins.
Henry G. Davis, his father-in-law, and
himself have been for two years mapping
out a new line of policy by which they
became competitors with the Frick com-pany,
perhaps not yet more than a me-nace,
but reaching strongly out in that
direction.
This is a powerful combine, for not
only ex-Senator Davis and Mr. Elkins,
the present Secretary of War. but Secre-tary
of State Blaine, the ex-Secretary of
State, Mr. Bayard, and the greatest of all
Democratic Senators, Arthur Gorman, are
interested in the deal against the Frick
people who are, therefore, putting a big
sentinel on guard in New York because
it is easier to watch rivals and to care for
finances at the eastern point than from
Pittsburg,

THF, DANGER OF CONTAGION.
When death has entered and darkened
any home by the removal of a loved
member that sympathy Is shown by rela-tives
snd friends Is fltlinz and robs the
grim King of Terrors of his keenest
sting. But when the fatal disease Is of a
contagious nature this expression of com
passi hould he given with a due re-gard
i " the safety of the living. Yet
how c.releas we all are of the risks we
run.
No; infrequently and In tilts neighbor
hood have deaths occurred from diph-theria
and other contagious diseases that
were followed by public interments. Too
often i:i these cases sorrowing friends and
curiosity seekers, unmindful or ignorant
of their danger, attend the funeral ser-vices
either in tbs deadly germ-laden
house or in some church, with the casket
containing the remains which is almost
as bad. In not a few Instances have
persons contracted the same malady and
iicd irom the effect of the needless ex-posure
which should not be permitted.
Where there is a deatti from a conta-gious
disease the body should be buried
as quickly ns possible and with no public
service before the Interment. There is
no way of stopping this dangerous prac-tice
in Mt. Pleasant, but the institution
of a locil Board of Health would supply
the m , li-needed means.
PITY AND JUSTICE.
There are sad hearts among the men
who feel that justice requires the prose-cution
of Edward M. Field, the young
New York broker, to the full extent of
the law for his criminal operations. They
realize that his lather, the honored Cyrus
W. Field, lies on a bed of illness from
which lie may never arise, that big sister
is virtually at death’s door, and that his
wife is so prostrated that she is an ex-tremely
sick woman, while the entire
Field family is in a condition of mortifi-cation
and anxiety that extends through
one of the widest social circles in the
United States. But all these tilings are
the remit of Edward M. Fieln’e violation
of the laws. Instead of excusing him,
they make his punishment the more Im-perative.
Ills high social position, his eminent
financial standing, the credit that was
everywhere given him for honesty and
integrity, his education on the loftiest
standards of modern instruction, the no-ble
example set him by his father, were
all thrown to the winds when he made
his first criminal step and sold securities
that had been intrusted to him as colla-terals
for loans. He made himself a
common thief before he finished his op-erations,
it the indictment against him
for larceny shall stand In the courts. Dis-honesty
in business transaction by a man
in his position is a thousand times worse
than the petty peculations of men in
subordinate places, who are frequently
given long terms for the larceny of a few
dollars. His frauds reach into millions.
f ailure to proseente and punish Field
would, ns an exchange well Bays, lead to
a Justification of the cry of the poor that
the rich can do anything and escape the
penalties of flic law. The plea that his
mind is unbalanced is not in keeping
with liis long and persistent dishonesty,
and while pity reigns in all hearts for the
hearts that lie lias crushed, justice must
DC meted out to him as a matter of the
highest public policy. It one of his sta-tion
can escape the laws’ penalties, then
the laws are a mockery to republican nud
democratic theories and institutions.
SPEAKER CRISP AND MR. MILLS.
It is unfortuuate for Mr. Mills and pos-sibly
unfortunate for the Democratic
majority in the House, that Mr. Mills lias
pouted like a spoiled child aud exhibited
every possible discourtesy to his success-ful
competitor for the Speakership; but
Speaker Crisp can’t be justly blamed for
acceptiug Mr. Mills’ attitude as the sulk-ing
Texas leader lias made it for himself.
No niomber of the House who has seri-ously
considered the situation as created
by Mr. Mills can regret that Mr. Crisp
was successful in the contest for Speaker,
and none can reasonably insist tiiat Mr.
Mills should be placed in auy position
where he might be able to embnrrass the
action of the House. He lias demoustra-ted
beyond all possible dispute that he is
unfitted for leadership; that his personal
aims and disappointments are paramount
to either party harmony or public policy,
aud he should be assigned where he
wouid.be least likely to harm himself or
to hinder the action of his party majority.
It is a most pitiable spectacle for the
country to see a man of Mr. Mills’ability
and legislative experience pouting like a
spanked schoolboy when he lost the
Speakership In a manly contest; refusing
THE JOURNAL—MT. PLEASANT, PA., TUESDAY EYEJNJUNU-, DECEMBER 29, i89l
to move to make ths nomination unani-mous,
as common decency required; re-fusing
to serve on the first committee to
which the leader of the House Is always
assigned, and even choosing Ills seat far
in the rear where he could not hope to
exhibit leadership if he desired to do so;
but Mr. Mills has made just such a record
of churlishness and the country must ac-cept
him as he has so oitentatlously por-trayed
himself.
What if the success ot Mr. Crisp did
foreshadow a party policy on tariff re-form
that is not in accord with Mr.
Mills’ more radical views? On the fun-damental
principle, and certainly on any
tariff reform that is at all attainable, there
Is no no practical difference between Mr.
Mills and Speaker Crisp; and none can
doubt that Mr. Mills would have wielded
a powerful influence in shaping the tariff
policy of the party had lie proved that
he is greater than his Infirmities of tem-per
and ambition, but now lie has loaded
his tariff policy with odium and he Is
likely to exert little or no influence In
moulding the party policy of the House.
Mr. Mills is suffering from a delusion
that lias thickly strewn all the paths of
ambition with the skeletons of Its vic-tims.
Many men In every age and in
every civilization have assumed that (he
world could not move on In the even
tenor of Its way without their leadership,
and It is likely to continue to be so until
time shall be no more, regardless of the
fact that such men fall and are lorgotten
while others better fill their places. In
this enlightened age no man ia indispen-sable
to any party or to any country,
and if this simple lesson could be suc-cessfully
taught in the eonfllcts of am-bition,
many g >od men would be saved
from self-destruction. But men won’t
learn and that tells the whole story.—
Philadelphia Timet.
FOREST PRESERVATION,
Professor Rothrock, In his late lecture
on “Forestry in Pennsylvania’’ before
tiie Academy of Natural Sciences at
Philadelphia, uttered the sentiment of
all sensible men when he declared that
forestry lias no war with any proper use
of timber. It Is the wanton destruction
of timber by Are and other agencies that
has denuded so many of our mountain
sides and dried up at their source so
many of our streams. Removing the
timber from arable land is a necessary
prelude to its cultivation and stripping a
piece of territory ot its matured timber
for commercial and industrial uses is
not a waste. The unnecessary destruc-tion
follows when the fire Is allowed to
follow the lumberman and destroy all
the young and growing timber that is
lett.
The most Important step that can be
taken toward forest preservation in
Pennsylvania is in the direction of the
prevention of forest fires that yearly
render barren so large a portion of our
mountain territory. If this were done
the trees cut for timber would be replaced
in a few years by the growth of those too
small for use at the first cutting. In
some of the best pine sections on the
headwaters of the Delaware and Susque-hanna,
the pine that was cut half a cen-tury
ago has been replaced by a flue »ec-ond
growth. This is the case only where
no forest fires have raged, but the rapid
growth of the second crop of trees when
undisturbed by fire has demonstrated
that timber can be quickly replaced by
the natural process of growth. There
would be no denuded forest areas If the
fire were not allowed to ravage large
sections after the matured timber was cut.
Planting trees la commendable and
Arbor Day should be faithfully observed,
as an exchange says, but the most effect-ive
way to preserve our foreits ia to give
them a chance to preserve themselves by
keeping the Are out. Law on this sub-ject
should be rigidly enforced and then
residents ot the wooded sections of the
Btate should band tliemselyes together
for this purpose. In the repeal of the
fence laws of the state one main source
of timber consumption lias been cut off.
The legitimate demand for timber will
thus be lessened and the wholesale de-struction
of growing timber only needs
to be stopped to preserve to future gen-erations
a sufficient forest area.
THE VALUE OF PROMPT ACTION.
Many of the most signal successes
gained by Great Britain have been large-ly,
if not chiefly, rttributable to the sud-denness
witli which site hss struck at her
enemies. Having once determined that
a blow must be given, there has been no
hesitation about giving it. This was
signally illustrated In the bombardment
of Copenhagen ID 1801 by Admirals Nel-son
and Parker, by which unexpected
stroke the armed confederacy formed by
Russia, Sweden and Denmark, hostile in
spirit to England, if neutral in name,
was virtually crushed in a day. In our
time the bombardment ot Alexandria has
again illustrated the English way of
dealing with an enemy.
OI course the Uulted States should not
imitate the harsh and tyrannical exam-
I pie of England. But there is such a
thing as erring in the direction of hesi-tancy
and allowing an euemy too much
opportunity for preparation. It is to be
hoped that Chili will see the madness of
provoking war, hut if the necessary for
war becomes obvious it would be lolly to
permit the Chilians by any negligence
on our part to strengthen themselves for
the conflict. If peace can be secured
with honor, by all moans let peace be
maintained; but when it becomes plain
that the dishonor and humiliation of the
Uulted States Is the alternative there
should be no hesitation in accepting ttie
gage. Every day of delay would find
Chili better prepared, not only to defend
herself but to injure us.—Kexo Tork

full of Mt. Pleasant people II the inhab-itants

The crusade against Sunday papers
seems to be just a little too previous. If
the Sabbatarians would only stop Sun-day
saloons and numerous other things

might consistently turn to the Sunday
newspapers and see if there Is really any
harm in them.
Kota Candidate Koir, lint—

No, Quay is not a candidate for Sena-tor
just now, but he will be a most
lively candidate lor Senator when the
lime shall come for the next Scnatorship
to be filled by the Legislature. He knows
just when not to be a candidate, and no
body knows better than he when to make
his candidacy felt.
A Kindly Word of Warning.
Unlontown Democrat.
Evidently our old friend, James Long,
hasn't been reading the uewspapers lately
or he wouldn’t have wanted to draw
$5,000 out of the bank to play the three
card monte racket. It would be a good
scheme for otir farmers to give these
parties a wide berth who want to give
them a great deal for nothing.

Unlontown Standard.
It seems that the love of money has a
deeper root in the farmer than with any
other class. What business man would
wager $5,000 on the turn of a card with
a proleasional gambler or any one else?
Confidence men are getting money out
of the farmer daily, yet their games are
exposed In all the papers and have been
lor years. “Don’t it beat all ?’’

There is no room for partisan criticism
of the Arm stand taken by the adminis-tration
on the Chilean question or of the
temperate and sensible utterances on our
side of the controversy. The worst en-emies
of the United States have never
accused us of having a quarrelsome dis-position
and no one can suspect us of
any desire to pick a quarrel with Chili.
A Mew Political Feature,

Kissing will probably become a per-manent

Governor Jones, of Aiabams, while at
Blue Creek mines last week, kissed the
boss miner’s wife. Thursday his oppo-nent
for the gubernatorial nomination
visited the same place and Implanted two
kisses on the lips of the boss miner’d
wife. The candidates and the wife are
happy, but the boss miner talks of start-ing
a third party.
Faola Prom History.
New Tork Herald.
Since It came Into power, more than
thirty years ago, the Republican party has
taken every Presidential candidate from
tha west with one exception, Lincoln,
Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Harrison
were all wealern men. Only once has the
party put forward an eastern candidate
—Mr. Blaine in 1881—and only In that
year has it been defeated. These are his-torical
facts which it is worth while tor
the Democrats to tliiuk about.
W. G. T. U.
• FOR GOD AND HOME AND NATIVE
LAND”
Tills column is conducted by the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union ol Mt. Pleasant.
The regular meetings of the W.IJ.T.U
will he held on the first ami third Thurs
day of eacli mouth at 2:i!0 p. m. In the
Y. M. C. A. Hall.
The saloon system is at once a cause
and an effect. It is unquestionably the
cause of much crime, poverty and social
demoialization. But one w ho observes
closely must see that it Is also an effect of
a defective social organization. Men
must go Bomewliere to spend their even-ings;
they must do something. Some
have no family ami no home except a
cheerless boarding house; some who have
families have no home; some who have
homes have no companionship, no stimu-lus,
no attraction in the home. Almost of
necessity they are driven from the home
to the street and from the street to ti e
saloon. The saloon is always warm and
bright; there one finds companionship,
spicy talk and the newspapers of the day
There are thousands of hoys growing up
who live in fine houses, but have practi
cally no home. The father is turning
himself Into a money getting machine,
and has no time to be the companion and
friend of his boys.
Onee on the street where can the boy
go? In the city ol Philadelphia there
arc possibly a dozen public reading
rooms; in the country towns such things
are almost unknown. Bright, attractive
reading rooms, with Innocent games and
helpful companionships might save many
a boy who is out on the street, or Is gain
ing his first lesson in saloon aequaln
tanceslilps. In many parts of the world
coffee rooms have proved financially pro-fitable
and socially helpful. Here is a
field for practical philanthrophy to cul-tivate.
Suppose the demon of the saloon
were driven out of society; unless some
good lulluence and social Institution take
its plaoe, the demon will come back with
seven others worse than himself. We are
trying to drive lire demon out; it is well;
now let us get something ready to occupy
Ida room. Of course, nothing but lire
grace of God which bringeth salvation
can save the individual, but something
can be done to bring the individual un-der
the influence of this grace.
A Symposium
What Is the duty of the churcheB on
the Temperance question?
It is not tlie same question it was thir-ty
years ago. Then, It was chiefly moral,
now, it is chiefly political. Then, there
was no liquor oligarchy with hundreds
of millions of dollars Invested, and hun-dreds
of thousands of agents united by
one common bond and sitting as tire
dominant factor in the legislative halls
and on tire judicial bench.
The question as it now confronts the
churches is one of law, and not morals.
If so. then the churches must meet tin-question
by law, and to do this it must
make itself felt in the law making halls.
Tims it is tire duty of the churches to
put themselves on record for prohibition
as clearly as they have tor total abstl
nence. Not prohibition simply as a
principle, but prohibition as a party
measure, for only in this way can it
touch tire question in its most vital part.
If anything is settled relative to Die
question, it is that tlie Prohibition party
is the only party absolutely free from tlie
liquor traffic and hated by it.
If this is so, then it is the duty of tlie
churches to unite with this party, and
thus solve the question as it now con-fronts
them. N. C. NAYLOR.
Altoona, Pa.
I do not see that the churches, as
churches, iiave any duty on the Tern
perance question. They might insist on
total absDnenec as a condition of mem-bership;
the majority in any one church
might resolve that all must vote against
license, for prohibition and for all, so-called,
anti-license candidates, and they
might exclude all who iefused to comply.
But all this would be contrary to the
genius of Christianity and to civil and
religious liberty.
The churches might, at each business
meeting, pass series ot resolutions con
derailing the liquor traffic and commend
ing certain courses of conduct to their
members; but this would be as utterly
useless as it Is to pass such resolutions al
State Conventions and Ministerial Con-ferences.
The churches, as such, can do
nothing and ought to do nothing on the
temperance question.
As to the duty of Christian individuals,
Christian teachers and preachers, I can
speak for myself alone. I feel it to be my
duty 1st to practice total abstinence; 2nd
to try to persuade all others to do like
wise; 3d to teach as clearly, as forcibly,
as kindly and as preservlngly as I can the
need, rightness and tfllcucyof prohibl
tion; 4th to vote for or towards prohibi-tion
whenever I have an honeBt opportu
nity; 5th to insist courageously on the
Intorcement of the law as it is, to do ail 1
can consistently with the letter and
spirit of the law as it Is to restrict the
liquor traffic and the liquor habit; and
0th to avoid making myself and the tem
perance question contemptible, and irrl
tating my fellow-citizens, who are equal
ly Christian,equally patriotic nud equally
Intelligent with myself, hy thrusting
prohibition into relations where itenunot
belong. OWEN JAMBS.

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.
School Savings Banks and Postal Sav-ings
Banks are in wide use in Europe
and are acknowledged and proven to he
one of tlie best practical educational lac
tors. They train Die population to habits
of thrift, individually and self depend-ence
before the wastefulness, which at
tends the probationary years of youth,
developes into an emptyness which Is un
satisfying and unprofitable. They visi-bly
reduce the amount of crime, intem-perance
and pauperism.
Taking the statistics of the School Sav
lugs Bank in operation as an example, if
the system was established In all Die
public ichools of the Unlied States, over
fifty millions of dollars would he saved
annually and who can estimate the moral
effect on the community of inculcating
thrift.
WeaseAlcOhoi
purs alcohol to make WOLFF'S ACME
BLACKING, Alcohol is good for leather;
it is good for the skin. Alcohol is the chief
ingredient of Cologne, Florida Water, and
Bay Rum the well known face washes.
We think ttiere is nothing too costly to use
in a good leather preservative.
Acme Blacking retails at 20c.
and at that price sells readily. Many
people are so accustomed to buying a dress-ing
or blacking at 5c. and 10c. a bottle
that they cannot understand that a black-ing
can he cheap at 20c. Wewant to meet
them with cheapness if we can, and to ac-complish
this we offer a reward of $10,000
for a recipe which will enable ns to make
WOLFF’S ACME BLACKING at BUCII a price
that a retailer can profitably sell it at 10c. a
bottle. We hold this offer open until

Camel Hours.
A successful uinn of letters tells us that
he never allows Ills morning hours ot
study to be Interrupted, except on grave
emergencies. These, he says, are his
“ June! hours,” in which he drinks him
self full for the day. Trollope, the nov-elist,
sums up all the intluences brough
to bear on his literary life by saying,
“Nothing Is so potent as a law that may
not be broken. It has the force of the
water drop that hollows the stone. A
small, dally task, If It be really daily,
will beat the labors of a spasmodic Her-cules.
It Is the tortoise that always
catches the hare.” He adds:
“I rose at half past live and wrote with
my watch before me, and required from
myself two hundred a fllty words an
hour. Three hours a day in ten months
gave me three three-volume novels.
“1 once was told,” he says, “that the
surest aid to the writing of a book was a
piece of cobbler’s wax on my chair. 1
certainly believe more in the cobbler’s
wax than in Inspiration.”
When he was ready to begin
he was accustomed to prepare
bo a sort of diary, in which
s 3d to write, day by day, a
a novel
a blank
he re-certain
•Uber of pages, usually about forty,
Ach page containing about two hundred
and fifty words.
At times he placed his daily stint as
low as twenty pages, and again raised It
to a hundred and twelve. Under sharp
pressure he had occasionally what he
calls a "turn of speed.” When he felt it
necessary to take his wife to Florence
for a change, he planned and wrote “Bep
po, the Conscript” In four and twenty
days—thirty-three printed pages a day.
It was in measure an inherited gift,
this capability for work, for in writing
of iita mother he says: “Five o’clock in
the morning found her always at her
desk until she completed her hundred
and fifteenth volume, the first not having
been begun until she was paBt fifty.”
Mr. Prescott, the historian, was obli-ged,
on account of his unpaired sight, to
regulate his life with the. greatest exact
ness. He rose early, although it was a
great effort for him to do so. Indeed, it
seemed, even from boyhood, to be con-trary
to hie nat ure to get up betimes in
the morning. He was, therefore, always
awaked, and, after counting twenty, so
as to fairly arouse himself, he resolutely
sprang out of btd, or, if he failed, he
paid a forfeit to the servant who had
knocked at his door.
When he was a bachelor, the servant,
after waiting a certain number of min
utes without receiving an answer, went
in and took away the bed clothes.
After Ills horseback ride, which be
called winding himself up for the day, he
was ready for work. Like Gibbon, he
prepared what he wished to say in his
mind, so that when he took up the pen it
was like writing from memory; but
whatever the amount thus mentally pre
pared, he went over it five or six times,
and in some eases even ten or twelve
times.
The great Ilumbolt wrote by the watch.
If a visitor came in, he noted the hour ex-actly,
and made up the time afterwards.
When his work pressed, and the hour
came for him to go out driving with the
king, he would write until the last mo-ment,
and then make his toilet compos
edly in the carriage by the side of his
royal triend.
No great results are reached without
some drudgery. There must be “camel
hours.”
“Why are you not working?” aBked a
literary friend of a dawdler.
“Oh, I’m waiting for inspiration!” was
the reply.
“You have waited so long for inspira-tion,
suppose you should for onee try
a little perspiration,’’returned ihe voice
of experience.
“Why is it,” asked a teacher of a city
superintendent, “why is it that with the
same grade of children, and with an
equal Interest in my work, I accomplish
less than Miss Allen?”
“Because,” was the reply, “you work
with less system than she and so misuse
time.”
The best teacher recognizes the fact
that system is economy. Site is able to
do five things well:
First, she is a careful planner.
Second, she has a purpose in every act
and every question.
Third, she knows the relation of every
act to what goes before and to what fol-lows.
Fourth, she divides difficulties and
conquers them In detail.
Fifth, she prepares well.
The Three “Tendon*.”
I was some time since at a railway sta
tlon, waiting for a train. Outlie platform
seated on a form, were an old gentle-man
and three children, who I rightly
guessed we re bis grandchildren. I could
not help bearing the remarks he was
making to them, which were spokeu in
a pleasant and loving manner.
“Be sure,” said he, “you do uot forget
the three Tentlons: intention. Attention
and Retention.”
We might apply these “tentlons” with
much instruction In a variety of ways,
but children at school In particular may
profit much by remembering them.
Let us take “Intention” first. If a
boy has a sum to work out, or a lesson
to learn by heart be will not be likely to
succeed unless be goes at it with a will,
or unless he “intends” to do it.
Secondly, “Alteutlou.” If he is to
suceeed, a boy mti6t withdraw his
thoughts from tops, kites, balls, and such
like; be must uot chatter with bisschool
fellows, but lie must for the lime give
Ills whole miud or attention to the lesson
before him. _
Thirdly, “Retention.” It is of little
use to learn auythlng unless we remem-ber
It, or “retain” it In the mind.
So, boys and girls, try to remember
the old gentleman’s adylce, “Be sure you
do not forget the three “teutions:” In-tention,
Attention and Retention.
Get the children Interested in study
and daily furnish them new food for
thought.
A Choice List of Rummer lletorU.
In the Lake regions of Wisconsin,
Northern Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa
and the two Dakotas, there are hundreds
of charming localities pre-eminently
titted for summer homes. Among the
following selected list are names familiar
to many of our readers as the perfection
of Northern summer resorts. Nearly all
of the Wisconsin points of interest are
within a short distance from Chicago or
Milwaukee, and none of them are so far
away from the “bus marts of civiliza-tion”
that they cannot be reached in a
few hours of travel, by frequent trains,
over the lineal roads in the northwest—

We want every mother to know that
croup can be prevented. True croup
never appears without a warning. The
first smptom is hoarseness; then the
child appears to have taken a cold or a
cold may have accompanied the hoarse-ness
from the start. After that a peculiar
rough cough is developed, which is fol-lowed
by the croup. The time to act is
when the child lirst becomes hoarse; a
few doses of Chamberlain’s Cough Rein-ed
will prevent the attack. Even after
a rough cough lias appeared the disease
ma be prevented by using this remedy
as direeled. It Las never been known to
fail, 2o cent. 50 cent and $1 bottles tor sale

Nearly every pattern of Horse
Blanket is imitated in color and

looks just as good as the genuine,
but it hasn't the warp threads, and
so lacks strength,and while it sells
for only a little less than the genu-ine
it isn’t worth one-half as much.
The fact that Horse Blankets

BELVERNON, Pa., Nov. 27, TO.
DR. B. J. KENDALL Co.:
Gents—I would like io make known to those who
are almost persuaded to use Kendall's Spavin Cure
the fact that I think it Is a. most excellent Liniment.
I have used Iton a Blood Spavin. The horse went on
three legs for three years when I commenced to
use your Kendall’s Spavin Cure. I used ten bot-tles
on the horse ana have worked him for three
years since and has not been lame.
Yours truly, WM. A. CURL,

Gents: In praise of Kendall’s Bpavin Cure I will
sny. that ayear ago I had a valuable young horse be-come
very iame.noek enlarged and swollen. Tho
horsemen about here (we have no Veterinary Sur-geon
here) pronounced Ida lameness Blood Spavin
or Thoroughpln, they all told mo there was po
cure for It, ho became about useless, and I con-sidered
him almost worthless. A frlenq told me of
the merits of your Kendall’s SppYtu Cure, so X
bought a bottle, and I could see very plainly groat
improvements Immediately fromItsuse.and before
the liottlo was used up I was satisfied that it was
doing him a great deal of good. I bought a second
bottle and before it was used up my horse was
cured and has been In the team doing heavy work
all tho season since last April, showing nomoro
signs of It. I consider your Kendall’s 8pavin Cure
a valuable medicine, nnd It should bo in every
stable in the land. Respectfullyyours,
