A GLANCE AT IRELAND
BY shooting five of the Dalton gang
the people of Coil'eyvllle Kansas, have
shown that they, too, know how to pro-vide
proper entertainment for bank rob-bers
and desperadoes. It was a dear
victory, though, for four of the hosts lost
their lives.
MAJOR GENERAL SNOWDEN comes right
out aud says lie is the instigator of the
charge of treason made against the
Homestead strikers’ Advisory Commit
tee. The commander of our National
Guard is no shirker of responsibility.

THE viewers on theMt. Pleasant town
ship farms, cut up by grade work for the
proposed extension of the Pennsylvania’s
Mt. Pleasant branch, ought to make the
damages conditional upon the completion
of the road.
WIIAT Dr. Reid lias to say of the Mar-kleton
Sanitarium shows that even Buck-eyes
know when they are being well
cared for. There is no longer any ques-tion
about the success of this institution.
THE finding of ex-Senator G. W. Dela-mater
guilty of embezzlement at Mead-ville
the other day must be an unpleas-ant
reminder to Pennsylvania Republi-cans
that they once ran him for Governor,
THE People’s party must improve upon
its record made in the recent Georgia
election or it will have to retire from the
political arena. Prohibitionists alone are
permitted to vote for the mere fun ot it.
THE Texas Cooleys are not so desper-ate
yet as to require the dead or alive
clause to be inserted in warrants for their
arrest; but, nevertheless they should all
be captured and punished.
TUB weakest point about the treason
case against the Homestead strikers’ Ad-visory
Board seems to be that the Carne-gie
Steel Company, and not the State, is
the prosecutor. ^

LONDON, Sept. 24, 1892.
ED. JOURNAL, Dear Sir:—Before
leaving home I promised to write to you,
but I have been so busy through the day
and so tired when night came tliat I have
failed thus far to tulfill my promise.
We landed in Londonderry on a Sun-day
after a very smooth, but to me very
disagreeable, voyage of ten days. Mr.
Carnegie says the difference between a
sea voyage and a journey by land Is very
much like the difference between married
life and single life—either very much
better or very much worse. The sea
voyage with me was very much worse
I hardly think Columbus was gladder to
see America than I was to see Ireland
The sail down the bay on the tug was
delightful. The characteristic features
of Ireland, such as the small fields, the
hedge fences, the cottages with thatched
roofs, the stacks of turf and tiie intensely
green grass, were all visible. We had
not been in Derry long until we dlscov
ered that it was what some people about
Pittsburg would call a puritanical city
There are no restaurants nor shops of
any description open on Sunday except
Irug stores, and they are open only for
a short time. The hotels close on Sun
lay evenings at 9 o’clock. After tliat
time the door Is opened by a porter, but
only to guests of the house.
I was told by an Irish clergyman
whom I met on the vessel that the cause
of temperance has made wonderful strides
in Ireland in the last ten years. It
ALL talk about Andrew Carnegie com
ing home from Scottland to settle the
Homestead trouble is mere bosh. Mr,
Frick will attend to that matter.
Aiiour one in every dozen of Mt.
Pleasant’s voting population allowed Ills
party to pay his poll tax. How proud
these political Esaus must ieel!
DEMOCRATS might claim that the pres-ent
campaign, being the stillest kind of
a still hunt, is, for that reason, all the
more in their favor.
THE affidavit, or tail end, period of the
campaign is almost duo. Perhaps that
will have a tendency to liven tilings up a
little.
THE only thing nicer for Mt. Pleasant
streets than a score of arc lamps would
be five or ten more lights of the same
kind.
OUR Columbian fair is only a week off
and there are a good many things yet to
be done. Keep your shoulders to the
wheel.
«•» •
ITS not said boastingly; but, neverthe-less,
Mt. Pleasant has a water system that
Is quite a comfort these dry days.
THE Baker Ballot Law is having a
good many of its alleged reform attributes
badly disfigured these days.
THE worst feature about the scarcity
of natural gas is that colder weather
means still less ot it.
A PROMINENT man who flops during a
political campaign is rarely heard of af
ter the election.
INTERESTING MINE CASE.
Chur Justice Paxaon Defines |ha Owner’*
Responsibility for Accident*.
In the Supreme Court, Pittsburg, last
week Chief Justice Paxson reversed the
decision of the common pleas court in
Northumberland county in awarding
damages to Barbara E. Haley in her Buit
against the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal und Iron Company, owners of the
Greenback colliery in that county, in
which the plaintiff’s husband lost his
life. There was a fire in the minee
which was alleged to have been due to
the negligence of Andrew G. White, the
mine boss. On this point Chief Justice
Paxson says:
“We have repeatedly held that the
owner of a mine is not responsible for
the negligence of the mine boss unless
he is incompetent and the owner knows
him to be so. To allow a recovery in
this case would be to fritter away this
rule.”
Ice Factory for Gnenibnrf.
James C. Henry <ft Co., of Greensburg,
have begun work on a new ice factory to
he built along the Pennsylvania road,
near the Ludwick freight station. When
fiuished the capacity of the plant will be
15 tons of Ice per day, the production of
which will consume per minute about
40 gallons of water, which will be secured
from an artesian well. The plant :s to
be finished by next spring and .vill oost
#20,000.
Is
possible that lie is right. I found one
total abstainer in the tew days I was
there and if I had only been able to stay
longer I might hove found more.
We had the pleasure (?) of witnessing
in Castletin—a little village 18 miles from
Derry—what we call an old-fashioned
serenade. I say what we call a serenade,
for when I asked what it was called in
Ireland I was told they did not have any
name for it. The pertormance consisted
simply in burning tar barrels, and lasted
from 8 o’clock till 11. In the meantime,
however, the groom expressed his ap-preciation
of the good will of the serena-ders
by a treat. The crowd was not
large and contained a number of small
boys, but the groom estimated that less
than eight gallons of whiskey would not
be sufficient and so distributed that
amount among them. He had not over
estimated the capacity of his guests; there
were no fragments and there were none
runk. The people in the house where
we were stopping thought it very strange
when I told them what the penalty was
In our state for giving intoxlcatiug
liquors to children
It seemed strange to one who had been
a diligent reader of THE JOURNAL to
learn that shebeens should exlBt in
country where license is so cheap and
so easily gotten. The word may be as
new to some of the readers of THE JOUK
NAL as it was to me, but when I tell them
that the American translation is “speak
easy,” they will doubtless understand
what is meant. The Century Dictionary
winch I consulted in the Carnegie Li
hrary in Edinburgh, says the word she
hang is probably a modification of she
been. Shebeen, shebang, speak easy
Take your choice. Shebeen is the more
euphonious, but speak easy is more ex
presslve. Besides the origin and signifi
cation ot speak easy are easily traced
The origin of shebeen does not seem to
be known.
It was a great wonder to me how the
working people in Ireland managed to
exist—I shall not say live. The farmer
pays 36 cents a day with the exception
ot harvest, when he pays 50. Meehan
ics, such as masons, plasterers and car
penters, get from 75 cents to $1.25. Meat
and flour are a little higher in price than
with us. Their living consists almost
entirely of bread and tea. That is the
chief secret of the matter. Notwitli
standing their condition they are very
kindly in their disposition, especially to
the lower animals. Their houses are very
poor but such as they have they willingly
share with dogs, cats, poultry, cattle,
donkeys, &c.
Another thing which greatly surprised
us in Ireland was the absence of cooking
stoves among the country people. In
fact, I don’t remember of seeing one.
They have heard of cooking stoves, and
some of the people have actually seen
them, but notwithstanding that they con-tinue
to cook on the open hearth. The
peat on which the people have depended
so long tor fuel has become scarce and
dear and they are being obliged to im-port
coal from England. That will add
a good deal to the cost of living and
doubtless result in a good deal of distress.
Home Rule is very bitterly opposed
among the people with whom I mingled
in the north ot Ireland, but a typical
Irishman who entered our car near Dub-lin,
and who had evidently heard of a
shebeen, told me if I were for anything
else than home rule I had better keep
quiet in that part of the country. I took
ills advice. Those who oppose home rule
claim that the question is at bottom one
of property rights, and tliat the move-ment
is akin to the Socialistic movement
which denies the right of individuals to
control the property which they possess.
The London Times, in a leading article,
criticizes Mr. Gladstone yery severely for
tiie article In the North American Revieic
in which he attempts to answer the art!
cle of the Duke of Argyle in a previous
number of the same review. Here is a
quotation: “We have heard of Tam-many
even on this side of the ocean, and
of the arts by which the dominion of
Tammany is secured. Mr. Gladstone’s
ideal Ireland is an Ireland ruled on
Tammany principles unrestrained by
any effective legal limits save those ot
its own making.
and the great Horse Show, hut did not I
attend the horse show. After tramping :
arouud the city a couple of hours to find I
lodging I concluded that I had had all I!
wanted of horse shows. At last we got
a room in an Irish boarding house. Mrs
Elliott was fastidious enough to say she
would like clean sheets on the bed. The
servant manifested great surprise and
replied that the sheets were clean ; they
had been put on the first of the week
and had consequently been used only a
few nights. Notwithstanding the ac
commodatlons she ciiarged more than tiie
best hotels in Dublin. Tiie next night
we would not have been so particular
We were on our way trom Dublin to
Glasgow. The boat was crowded with
people returning from the show. The
most of us were packed In beds on the
floor like sardines in a box, the men In
the dining salon and the women down
stairs. But even tiie floor was not like
the omnibus; there were some who could
not be accommodated. When I got up
in the morning and went out into the
hall I found a man leaning up against
the corner asleep. I had heard of men
having stood up to sleep in that way but
thought it was only a joke.

NATURAL GAS SCARCE.
A Maimfnolnring Plaut Proponed For
ConneliavilJe That Would Help.
Wednesday’s hail storm tried the nat-ural
gas supply here and found it, if not
altogether wanting, powerfully weak and
wood and coal had to be added to many
fires before a comfortable degree of heat
could be obtained. There are two chan
cesof improving the Southwest compa
ny’s supp’y. One is rain sufficient to
keep the pumping station iu water and
the other is to have Connellsyilie and
New Haven cut oil'the Grapeville mains
and supplied with a manufactured article
of gas.
D. D. Angell, who has charge both
here and at Scottdale for the Southwest
company, in speaking of tiie shortage,
says: "The supply is weak and is liable
to get weaker. One great drawback has
been the scarcity of water which keeps
the pump from being run only a few
hours each day. Still, I look for an im
proveinent as arrangements are now
being made to lease several wells from
the Westmoreland & Cambria people
and then our company speaks of cutting
Connellsville and New Haven off and
supplying those two towns with manu
factured gas. This would hslpMt. Pleas-ant
and Scottdale, but as it would take
until December 1 to get the plant in op
eration the consumer might as well be
prepared to encounter a few shortages
during the intervening time.”
SITUATION AT HOMESTEAD.
The Attempt to Blow Up n Non-Union
Hotel the Week’s Exciting Event.
The only exciting event of the past
week at Homestead came early Friday
morning when an explosive was thrown
into the Mansion House, and all theglass
in tiie windows of the building shattered
and some other little damage done. The
house was occupied by about 40 boarders,
but no one was injured. The building
was recently purchased by the Carnegie
company from John S. Cox, and was
used as a boarding house for non-union
men, The explosion caused a panic
among tiie boarders and great excitement
in the borough. The explosive, supposed
to be a dynamite bomb, was thrown
through the glass in the front door.
The strikers indignantly deny tiie
charge that they had anything to do with
the outrage and their Advisory Commit
tee has offered $100 reward for the arrest
of the perpetrators, while the Carnegie
company has offered $1,000 for the same
purpose. “Muckle” McAllister, of
Homestead, lias been arrested on sus-picion.
No time has yet been set for
the withdrawal ot the last four companies
of soldiers.

The funeral of Frank Cooley, the no-torious
Fayette outlaw who was shot and
killed while resisting arrest at the hands
of Sheriff McCormick and a posse at the
home of his father, Lute Cooley, near
Fairctiance, took place, Tuesday morn-ing
last, the Interment being made in the
cemetery at SmithGeld beside the grave
of his brother Jack, who was killed by a
spring gun trap three months before.
The crowd was not as large as the one
tliat attended Jack’s funeral, owing to
the fact that it had been announced that
tiie general public would not he permit-ted
to view the remains. This rule was
strictly adhered to and only the imme-diate
relatives of the family took a part-ing
look at the features of the dead.
The Rev. P. T. Conway, of Fairchancp,
conducted the funeral services. He
preached a sermon at the house, but
made little reference to the deceased,
dealing very largely wilh the subject of
death in the abstract. He could say no
good uf the dead, and of course had no
disposition to recall the evil of his life.
Mr. Conway also preached Jack Cooley’s
funeral sermon, and he admits that he
was never in a more embarrassing posi-tion.

The result shows that Yeager was right
as the outlaws walked right into the trnp.
The price of Yeager’s treachery, or what
was promised him, was a goodly portion
of the reward, and the efforts of the
sheriff to get him as light a sentence for
the charges on which he is held, as pos-sible.

Friend His Private Opinion of This
Beautiful Mountain Resort.
From the Steubenville (O.,) Dally Herald.
The following, although written as a
private letter from Dr. A. M. Reid, of this
city, will be found so beautifully descrip-tive
ofautumn Beenes and life in the Al-legheny
mountains that it will be found
ofspecial interest to readers of the Herald:
MARKLETON SANITARIUM, MARKLETON,
SOMERSET CO., PA., Oct. 3, 1892.
DEAR MR. DOYLE:—1 know from your
letters last summer that you enjoy
beautiful mountain view. I write this
from the heart of[ the Alleghenies. If
Bierstadt were here lie could paint an-other
picture which would make a com-panion
piece for his “Heart of the An-des.”
The mountain betore me is robed
in its autumn garments. It is beautiful
as the dream of an angol. The rounded
summit looks like a grand bouquet. Its
garniture of trees ehinlng in tiie splendid
colors ofan October sun has an unearthly
beauty. The yellow and crimson of the
maples, of which there are thousands set
upon the green robe of the mountain,
the russet tints of the oak ; the light
yellow of the chestnut and poplar, the
brilliant crimson of the sumac and gum
tree, the tender green of the bircii trees
and tiie dark green of thehemlock, com-bine
to make a scene of rare beauty upon
the like of which the eye of man is sel-dom
permitted to rest. God has painted
the picture for our admiration and de-light.
The view fills my heart with the
joy of elevated thought. The little Cas-selman
river fifty yards across with its
borders of hemlocks goes gliding by the
foot of the mountain, over a bed entirely
covered with large black stones. You
can year tiie music of its rippling water
amoDg the stones, but unless you are
quite near tiie bank you can hardly see
the water, the river is so low.
There are beautiful walks along the
banks of this little river, and charming
rides through the great forests and along
tiie lanes ol tiie handsome farms on the
top of the mountain. The brook moun-tain
trout leans up to attract the fisher-man’s
attention. The squirrel chatters
in tiie tree to challenge the sportsman.
The pheasant startles you with its whur-ring
at your feet. This is,indeed, a place
of rest and refreshment in the heart ot
the Alleghenies. If any want a change
from the trying routine of daily life; if
any want to breathe pure mountain air
and drink pure water from the mountain
springs; if any are worn and weary with
the toils and cares of life; if any are
broken down and sick and need healing
and health, here is a place, at the Mar
kleton Sanitarium, on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, about ninety (90) miles
east of Pittsburg, where each class will
find what they need. It is a family ho-tel
and sanitarium combined. I have
visited a number of these institutions and
I have no hesitation in saying that for
the completeness of its appointments
the healthfulness of its situation, the
beauty of its surroundings and the skill
and care of its physicians, it is one of the
very best in our country. Special rates
are given to ministers, missionaries, phy
sicians and teachers and their families
I have no doubt that editors also would
be included. Come up for a few weeks’
rest In this beautiful month of October
and I will show you one of the most
beautiful mountain views that ever glad
dened your heart, though you have seen
far more of God’s beautiful world than
most men. Doubtless God could have
made a more beautiful thing than
mountain robed in the shining tints of
an American torest with a blue sky and
some trailing clouds of glory hanging
over it, but d ibtless God never did.

he saw David he said “There’s my hat,”
and the hat was taken off David’s head

A TOUGH COLORED YOUTH.
Ht Goes Through His Employer's Barber
Shop For Some Sao.
When Peyton Greenlow, the colored
barber, locked up his shop in the base-ment
of H. R. Freed & Co.’s block Tues-day
night last, and went home he left
some $25 in two money drawers in the
mug case. He says he felt “inspired”
that all was not right and so rose early
the next morning aud on repairing to his
place of business found plenty of evi-dence
to prove the truth of his suspi-cions.
The street door was open and so
was one of tho cash drawers that had
contained $20 of the money. Four ru-ined
razors aud a pair of shears showed
what tools the thief had used to cut the
wood away from the jock.
Strong evidence pointed to Charles
Whiten, the young colored helper in the
shop, as the guilty party. He had not
been at work the day before. The out-side
door had been opened with a key
and he carried one, while a poor attempt
throw suspicion from himself
made in cutting the screen
1 from the inside. A warrant was
issued for his arrest and when taken and
placed in the lockup he confessed, al-though
he afterward denied the charge.
A search resulted in finding but 53 cents
on his person and he was sent to jail at
Greensburg to await trial. The prisoner
is a son of Rov. Mr. Whiten and there is
good reason to believe this was not his
first offense of the kind.
Their Depredations are in Close
Conformity With the Style of
Doing Business as Laid Down by
the Fayette Outlaws,
Recent police developments go to show
that the East End has a regularly organ-ized
band of boy robbers who have styled
themselves the “Texas Cooleys,” and
their depredations have been committed
in a manner very like that of the iate
Fayette outlaws. There are some eight
members in tho gang and while their
names are not all known it is said one of
the Stevens boys is the leader and is
called “Frank Cooley.” Frank Bird is
his first lieutenant and commands re-spect
as “Jack Ramsey;” Frank, better
known as “Goosey,” Miller, Walter
Tuning and another of the Stevens boys
are leading spirits in the organization,
and all carry revolvers.
Last Saturday night a week ago Mur-ray’s
East End meat store was broken
into and a lot of bologna and pop taken,
it is said, by this gang. A few days la-ter
“Frank Cooley” and “Jack Ramsey”
called at the same place and found young
Murray alone in the shop. The leader
compelled tho terrified clerk to go into
the refrigerator and kept him there until
his lieutenant had rifled the money
drawer. Another crime charged to the
gang was the breaking into the Red Men’s
rooms in Lowe’s Hall, Tuesday night
last, following a banquet of the order.
An entrance was effected from the roof
of an adjoining building, but it is belie-ved
they got nothing for their trouble.
Thursday last Granny Shelkey, an old
crippled widow woman who lives on
Mud Lane, had Mrs. Bird, Frank’s
mother, help to pick green tomatoes in
the garden and when Mrs. Bird went
home she sent Frank over for her shnre.
Young Bird took Frank Miller along and
when Mrs. Shelkey went out into the
garden they slipped into the house. They
found the key of a bureau drawer lying
on the bureau and soon liad possession
of all the money the poor old woman
had, $21 in gold. They were caught in
the act by Mrs. Dr, Miller who is, how-ever,
no relation of Frank Miller. She
had come in to see Mrs. Shelkey and
when she saw the open drawer called to
the boys to stop, but they made good
their escapo.
A warrant was taken out at Jonce and
placed in the hands of Policeman Wolf-endale
who started at once in pursuit.
The trail led to Scottdale where the two
boys were seen during tho afternoon and
where Bird bought his young partner in
crime a pair of shoes, saying they inten-ded
taking the evening train for Pitts-burg.
As it was thought they stayed in
Scottdale Policeman Wolfendalepaid the
place a second visit Friday, hut returned
without finding any trace of them in the
evening only to find that the boys had
spent the day in Pittsburg and come
home broke at night.
They were botli arrested Saturday
morning and confessed. Young Bird
was sent to jail at Greensburg at once,
while Miller was held pending an effort
to having him sent to Morganza Reform
School. Legal advice prevented Justice
McWilliams from making any discrimi-nation
and Miller was sent over to join
“Jack Ramsey” last evening. Arrests of
other members of the gang will follow.
THREATENED WATER FAMINESl
Many Neighboring Towns Keenly Feel
the EfFecd of the Drouth.
Every coke plant in the ConnelUville
region, except those supplied from the
Yough riyer or from tho Mt. Pleasant
system, is seriously effected by the scar-city
of water caused by the almost two
months’ drouth. Tho same is true of all
the towns except Connellsville.
Ths Columbia Iron and Steel Company
at Uniontown was closed down last week
owing to the failure of its water supply
and will remain closed until connections
can be made with the Oliver Bros.’ line
from the river. The Baltimore & Ohio
and Pennsylvania railroad water tanks,
furnished with water by the Uniontown
company, are dry and these roads are
compelled to ship water there in oil
tanks. The supply for the town has been
very low for a couple of weeks. The
borough authorities have issued aBpacial
call to be careful about fires, as the wa-ter
supply would be totally inadequate
for fire use.
The water company supplying Jean-nette
and Irwin has shut off much of the
supply, and ns a consequence the Penn-sylvania
plate-glass works at Irwin has
been shut down indefinitely, throwing a
large number of men out of work. Peo-ple
who depended on the water compa-ny’s
supply are in desperate straits. It
is also reported that the company sup-plying
Greensburg will shut off tho sup-ply
unless early and heavy rains fall in
tiie moutaln region in the meantime.
At Scottdale the Bupply has been short
for several weeks although consumers
still manage to get enough water from the
mains for domestic purposes.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad has ex-perienced
much trouble lately with the
water for its motive power on the Pitts-burg
division. The largo quantities of
lime and sulphur in the Youahioghony
river cause the boiler flues in the loco-motives
to leak so badiy that it is impos-sible
for them to haul trains. Froights
are frequently greatly delayed.

AN INTERESTING BIT OF HISTORY,
The Chicago World’s Fair will illus
trate four centuries of development and
will fittingly record the exploits of more
than one great pioneer of discovery. The
descendants of the early settlers of North
America cannot afford to let it be forgot
teu that Sebastian Cabot deserves a place
only second to that of Columbus in the
roll or discoverers.
Although we know that he was the son
of John Cabot, a Venetian merchant, and
that he was born in Bristol, England,
about the year 1470, we have no instruct-ive
details of his life until be was past Ills
twentieth year. By that timehlsyouth'
ful enthusiasm had been fired by the
columns regarding the Sulliv&n-Corbett
prize fight about the right amount.
But let not any preacher lay the flat
tertng unction to his soul that when he
sees a general yawn upon his congrega-tion’s
countenance the fault Is in the
pews rather titan In the pulpit. Though,
even then, he may advisedly try Beech-er’s
suggestion before deciding that brev
ity is the only soul of wit. Possibly the
unfortunate preacher Is a “doctor of ill
vinity.” He may do well to try the
medicinal effect of a tonic before resort-ing
to surgery.—Yew York Press

ery, and the Cabots, filled with the same
idea as all the early navigators, proposed
to sail westward to India. Their plan
was accepted, and on March f>, 149G, a
patent was granted to “John Cabote,
citizen of Venice, to Lewes, Sebastian
and Sanitus, sonnes of the said John,”
empowering them to seek out, subdue
and occupy at their own charges all re
gions which had “been unknown to all
Christians.” They were authorized to

territories discouered as the King’s vas-sals,
and to exercise exclusive privileges
of traffic, but they were to return to
Bristol, and one-fifth ot all their gains

Of LewcB and Sanitus we hear nothing
more, but John and Sebastian sailed from
Bristol in the Matthew In 1497, and ap-pear
to have returned to England imme-diately
after the first discovery. At any
rate, in the privy purse expenses of Hen-ry
VII. a payment is recorded on August
10,1497, “To him who found New Isle,
£10,” and in an ancient manuscript it is
stated, “This year (1497), on St. John the
Baptist’s day, the land of America was
found by the merchants of Bristowe in a
ship of Bristol called the Matthew, the
which said ship departed from the port
of Bristowe the 2d ofMay and came home

also probable that “the land first seen,”

and “land first seen” is shown between
the forty-fifth and fiftieth parallels, with

so, he saw the mainland of America be-fore

ARE SERMONS TOO LONG?
With the return of clergymen from
their summer vacations comes anew the
old debate about the alleged excessive
length of sermons. Are sermons too
long? Tins seems to be one of those
questions that never get answered to
general satisfaction, and, it may be, one
reason is the vagueness with which the
query is usually put. It is a good deal
like asking whether books are too volu-minous,
newspaper accounts of currrent
events too extended or musical perform-ances
too long drawn out.
If we take either of the extremes it is
easy to make either of two answers,
neither of which can be successfully con
tradlcted. Certainly some sermons are
too long. “Well, I did not mean to be
tedious,” said a spruce young clergyman
when a venerable brother of the cloth
complimented him on having preached
but fifteen minutes at a special service
“But you were tedious,” was the elder’
prompt rejoinder. On the other hand
there Is a well authenticated story of a
preacher ot the olden days, whose bear-ers
used to beseech him to “turn the
glass,” when the exhaustion of the sand
from one end of the hour glass indicated
that sixty minutes had alreudv been oc
cupied in that discourse. There are ser-mons
that have all over them, like
nightmare or a shroud, the horror of
greatdullness. They are unimportant in
theme and uninteresting In treatment,
They aie repetitious and verbose. They
are pointless and aimless. They are con
fused, obscure, illogical, dry as an Egyp
tlan mummy, empty as a last year
chestnut, julceless as a sucked orange
Of course, such sermons are two long;
but that is a fault that cannot be reme-died
by shortening, except on the prin-ciple
of curing headache by decapitation.
Such sermons are too long, however
short.
; equally true and undeniable that
even to notice all their facts and conclu-sions.
There are, however, a few points
to which especial attention should be di-rected.
In the first place, these reports
prove conclusively that there is an enor-mous
amount of assisted emigration from
Europe to this country. The assistance,
moreover, is not given mainly by rela-tives
or friends of the emigrants, and
many of those assisted are not honest and
self-sn’pporting persons. The reports
show that in certain countries ot Europe
there are societies at work all the time
for the sending to this country of pauperB
and criminals. One of the Commission-ers
gives a list of no less than seventy ot
these societies, some of which are under
royal patronage. Commissioner Schul-theis
himself came to this country last
November as an indigent applicant for
charity, sent by the Society of Friends
of Foreigners in Distress, of which the
Prince of Wales is the nominal president.
These societies make it their business to
forward to America all sorts of undesira-ble
persons, Including criminals.
Furthermore, It is found that the in-spection
of emigrants before leaving port
is a mere form. At several ot the prin-cipal
ports, Including Hamburg and Liv-erpool,
there is no medical inspection
whatever. The only safeguard existing
against the Introduction of disease and
crime and pauperism into this country
from abroad is the inspection here. This
safeguard is insufficient.
The flood of immigration is steadily
rising, too. or was before the recent quar-antine.
For the eight months ending
August 31 the number of emigrants was
448,019, as against 41C.570 for the same
period last year. The increase, too, was
largely in people alien to the races that
have built up America. In a period of
eight months we received 29,597 Hunga
rians, 49,137 Italians and 74,481 Russians
and Poles, the last named being in an al-most
destitute’and utterly degraded con-dition.
It Is high time that indiscriminate im-migration
should cease, aud that this Re-public
should beopenonly to immigrants
who are likely to make good citizens,
physically, morally and intellectually.
Some Aspects ofTemperance.
Those who ask that liquor shall not be
sold at the Columbian Exposition do not
ask the Commission to make any new or
strange law, or to enact Prohibition, but
simply to observe the laws of the state ot
Illinois. Hon. L. E. Atkinson of Penn-sylvania,
in a speech in the U. S. House
of Representatives, cited the laws of Illi-nois
as follows:
Whoever shall keep any shop, booth,
tent, wagon, vessel, boat, or other place
for the sale of spirituous liquors, or ex-pose
tor sale, or sell, give away, or other-wise
dispose of any spirituous liquors, or
engage in gambling at or within two
miles of the place where any agricultural,
horticultural, or mechanical fair Is being
held shall, for each ofiense, be fined not
less than five nor more than one hundred
dollars: Provided, Tills section shall
not effect tavern keepers, distillers, or
others exercising their calling at their
usual place of business.” The word fair
Is defined as follows: “Wherever the
word ‘fair’ occurs in this act, it shall be
held to mean a bona fide exhibition of the
four principle classes of live stock, to-gether
with general agricultural and
horticultural products aud mechanical
arts.”
To the argument that the Board of Di-rectors
of the Exhibition have made
themselves liable to penalties of $(100,000,
that they will assure the liquor sellers
tills privilege, Mr. Atkinson makes the
conclusive reply that “no action will lie
upon an unlawful contract, and this con
tract was to permit and authorize one of
the parties to it to violate the law of Illi-nois;”
and further, the Act of Congress
creating the Exposition expressly pro
Vtdes:
‘That nothing in tills act shall be so
construed as to override or Interfere with
the laws ol any stnte, and all contracts
made in any state for the purposes of the
Exhibition shall he subject to the lnws
thereof.”

Another expedition Is being planned to
try to get to the North Pole. It seems
that tlie world will do no good worth
speaking of until this Pole is finally lo-cated,
so we might as well lay aside our
strikes and prize fights long enough to
find it and have the matter settled.
A Dangerous llnflulonlftn.
New York Press.
It is a fortuuate tiling that the enter-prising
Buffalo man who only two or
three days ago stole a locomotive has
been arrested. If he had been allowed to
run at large there is no telling but that
he might have stolen a right of way and
gone into the railroad business on his
own hook.
Too SelvUli to fair Off.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
If only the corrupt politicians on both
sides of the fence could be persuaded to
pair off and vanish into the oblivion,
which is their fitting resting place, the
nation would be all the better for their
absence and voters could more freely
concentrate their attention on a pure and
unadulterated consideration of the ques
tions at Issue.
The saloon Is a peril to the home, to
the church, to the state. Its bearing on
tlie welfare of the state is illustrated in
an article in the September Forum, upon
“The Alnrtnlng Proportion of Venal
Voters,” by Prof. J. J. McCook, Trintty
College, Hartford. The author of the
article states expressly, “I am not a total
abstainer, tlicorltically or practically; and
l have always voted in favor of license
I do not belong to the Prohibition pnrty ;
hut considerd merely as aquestionof dol-lars
and cents, the drink question is the
question of the day. The tariff wrangle
Is a mere baby to It.” It may ho heliev -
ed that Hie statements of Prof. McCook
are not colored for a desire to mnke a
ease for Prolnbltion; but his lacts are as
trustworthy as they are significant. He
has made a sort of moral and social cen-sus
of Hartford, Conn., and other towns,
and gives as the result such facts aB
these: Out of 1,000 intemperate Ameri-cans
iu Hartford, 700 are venal, are ready
to sell tlielr votes; every American
drunkard la venal; all the shiftless Amer-icans
are venal; and all who have been
under arrest or imprisonment are venal.
He next takeB up a rural community and
finds that two-thirds of the intemperate
Americans, Irish, English, and all ot the
colored and Canadian intemperate are
venal.
He next considers a single ward In a
Conneticut city, and finds that 39 per
cent, of drunken or Intemperate Amerl
cans are venal. Taking several localities
as representative, he estimates that, in
tlie state of Conneticut at large, of every
1,000 intemperate, 540 are venal; ofevery
1,000 drunkard, 790; of every 1,000 shift-less,
all are venal.
The Influence of the saloon is not alone
a matter of morality or philanthropy, it
is a matter of suicide or self-preservation
of the 6tate.

TREASON AGAINST THE STATE
If there is such a thing as treason
against the state, there cannot be much
question that the proceedings of the
Homestead "committee” come under that
head.
It is not simply that they instigated
lawless disorder, riot and murder; they
have already been held individually to
answer for that. They did more than
this. They set up an insurrectionary
government, in defiance of the authority
of the Commonwealth, arrogating to
themselves both civil and military pow-ers.
When the commander of the state
forces appeared at Homestead to compel
their Bubmision, they proposed to treat
with him and were affronted because lie
would not accord them belligerent rights.
Foolish and ephemeral as this little re-bellion
was, it bad in it all the elements
of armed public treason. And it is ap-propriately
the Chiel Justice ol the Com-monwealth
who issues bis process against
the village revolutionists and calls on
them to show why their treason should
not be punished.
There need be no fear of anything but
the strictest justice In this case. The
leaders of these men are sure of punish-ment
for one crime or another and their
dupes will probably get off easily. But
the important thing is to teach the noisy
agitators, whether alien or naturalized,
that the authority of the people is vested
in the lawful government of the Com-monwealth
and that they who make war
against it are traitors to the people.—
Philadelphia Times.
IT is now claimed that it was not Sher-iff
MoCormtck but one of his deputies
who killed Frank Cooley. That don’t
matter, however; it was a splendid shot.
The Woman’s Temple.
Miss Frances Willard makes a strong
appeal for the Woman’s Temperance

Pittsburg Labor Tribune.
The newspapers of Pittsburg state that
$GO,000 wages paid out at Homestead on
Saturday, and that the usual amount be-the
first of May. When entirely filled,
its rental will be somethlngover $200,000
annually. The Temple has a frontage on
La Salle street of 196 feet and 13 stones
high. It contains a beautiful memorial
hall on the ground floor. Here every day
in tbe year will ascend prayer and sup-plication
for tbe salvation of the drunk-fore
the strike was $80,00(1. Will the ed- H' aud tlle speedy overthrow of that
itors refer back to their files which give
Mr. Frick’s evidence before the Con-gressional
Committee and see if they
don’t note that he swore the monthly
wages amounted to $200,000.

Rejoicing will be indulged in by all

Within it the wanderer and the tempted
will find doors ever open, and motherly
and sisterly hearts and hands, ready to
help, and lead the erring to Him who can

stock receive the income from tlie rentals

Through gifts, and the sale of Temple
Ramsey. Sheriff McCormick lias, ap
purently, made a good job of it this time,
the only discreditable thing about it be-ing
that It was not done long ago. One
principal cause of failure, however, was
the disinclination of persons to join the
raids against the gang, as, in case of fail
ure, such hostility was certain to invite
the enmity and vengeance ot the outlaws.

AN INTERESTING BIT OF HISTORY.
The Chicago World’s Fair will illus
trate four centuries of development and
will fittingly record the exploits of more
than one great pioneer of discovery. The
descendants of the early settlers of North
America cannot afford to let it be forgot-ten
that Sebastian Cabot deserves a place
only second to that of Columbus in the
roll of discoverers.
Although we know that he was the son
of John Cabot, a Venetian merchant, and
that he was born in Bristol, England,
about the year 1476, we have no instruct-
X
ery, and the Cabots, filled with the same
idea as all the early navigators, proposed
to sail westward to India. Their plan
was accepted, and on March ft, 1490, a
patent was granted to “John Cabote,
citizen of Venice, to Lewes, Sebastian
and Sanitus, sonnes of the said John,
empowering them to seek out, subdue
and occupy at their own charges all re-gions
which had “been unknown to all
Christians.” They were authorized to
set up the royal banner, to possess all
territories discouered as the King’s vas-sals,
and to exercise exclusive privileges
of traffic, but they were to return to
^Bristol, and one-fifth ot all their gains
was reserved as the property of the
crown.
Of Lewes and Sanitus we hear nothing
more, but John and Sebastian sailed from
Bristol in the Matthew In 1497, and ap-pear
to have returned to England imme-diately
after the first discovery. At any
rale, in the privy purse expenses of Heu
ry VII. a payment is recorded on August
10, 1497, “To him who found New Isle,
£10,” and in an ancient manuscript it Is
even to notice all their facts and eonclu
sions. There are, however, a few points
to which especial attention should be di
rected. In the first place, these reportB
prove conclusively that there is an enor-mous
amount of assisted emigration from
Europe to this country. The assistance,
moreover, is not given mainly by rela
tlves or friends of the emigrants, and
many of those assisted are not honest and
self-en'pporting persons. The reports
show that in certain countries ot Europe
there are societies at work all the time
for the sending to this country of paupers
and criminals. One of the Commission
ers gives a list of no less than seventy ot
these societies, some of which are under
royal patronage. Commissioner Schul-theis
himself came to this country last
November as an indigent applicant for
charity, sent by the Society of Friends
of Foreigners in Distress, of which the
Prince of Wales is the nominal president.
These societies make it their business to
forward to America all sorts of undesira-ble
persons, including criminals.
Furthermore, It is found that the in-

Another expedition is being planned to
try to get to the North Pole. It seems
that the world will do no good worth
speaking of until this Pole is finally lo-cated,
so we might as well lay aside our
strikes and prize fights long onougli to
find it and have the matter settled.
stated, “This year (1497), on St. John the Motion of emigrants before leavingport
Baptist’s day, the land of America was
found by the merchants of Bristowe in a
ship of Bristol called the Matthew, the
which said ship departed from the port
of Bristowe the 2d ofMayand came home
again 5th of August following.” It ap-pears
almost certain thst Newfoundland
was discovered on this voyage, but It Is
also probable that “the land first seen,”
as it is described, was a part of the con-tinent
of America. . The original of Ca-bot’s
map of 1544 is in the geographical
cabinet ol the Imperial Library at Paris,
and "land first seen” Is shown between
the forty-fifth nnd fiftieth parallels, with
the island of St. Juan within which is
plainly the embouchure of the St. Law
fence. Trobably, therefore, Cabot dis-covered
the coast of Nova Scotia, and, if
so, he saw the mainland of America be
fore Columbus or Amerigo Vespucci.
ARE SERMONS TOO LONG 7
With the return of clergymen from
their Bummer vacations comes anew the
old debate about the alleged excessive
length of sermons. Are sermons too
long? This seems to be one of those
questions that never get answered to
general satislaction, and, it may be, one
reason is the vagueness with which the
query is usually put. It Is a good deal
like asking whether books are too volu-minous,
newspaper accounts of currrent
events too extended or musical perform-ances
too long drawn out.
If we take either of tho extremes it is
easy to make either of two answers,
neither of which can be successfully con-tradicted.
Certainly Borne sermons are
too long. “Well, I did not mean to be
tedious,” said a spruce young clergyman,
when a venerable brother of the cloth
complimented him on having preached
but fifteen minutes at a special service.
“But you were tedious,” was the elder’s
prompt rejoinder. On tbe other hand
there Is a well authenticated story of a
preacher ot the olden days, whose hear
ers used to beseech him to “turn the
glass,” when the exhaustion of the sand
from one end of tbe hour glass indicated
that sixty minutes had already beeu oc-cupied
in that discourse. There are ser-mons
that have all over them, like a
nightmare or a shroud, the horror of a
great dullness. They are unimportant in
theme and uninteresting in treatment.
They ate repetitious and verbose. They
are pointless and aimless. They are con-fused,
obscure, illogical, dry as an Egyp-tian
mummy, empty as a last year’s
cheBtnut, juiceless as a sucked orange
Of course, such sermons are two long
hut that Is a fault that cannot be reme-died
by shortening, except on the prin-ciple
of curing headache by decapitation.
Such sermons are too long, however
short.
jt jg equally true and undeniable that
is a mere form. At several ot the prin-cipal
ports, Including Hamburg and Liv-erpool,
there is no medical inspection
whatever. The only safeguard existing
against the Introduction of disease and
crime and pauperism into this country
from abroad is the inspection here. This
safeguard is insufficient.
The flood of immigration is steadily
rising, too, or was before the recent quar-antine.
For the eight months ending
August 31 the number of emigrants was
448,019, as against 416,570 for the same
period last year. The increase, too, was
largely in people alien to the races that
have built up America. In a period of
eight months we received 29,597 Hunga-rians,
49,137 Italians and 74,481 Russians
and Poles, the last named being in an al-most
destitute’and utterly degraded con-dition.
It is high time that indiscriminate im-migration
should cease, and that this Re-public
should be open only to immigrants
who are likely to make good citizens,
physically, morally and Intellectually.

TREASON AGAINST THE STATE.
If there is such a thing as treason
against the state, there cannot be much
question that the proceedings of the
Homestead "committee” come under that
head.
It is not simply that they instigated
lawless disorder, riot and murder; they
have already been held individually to
answer for that. They did more than
this. They set up au insurrectionary
government, in defiance of the authority
of the Commonwealth, arrogating to
themselves both civil aud military pow-ers.
When the commander of the state
forces appeared at Homestead to compel
their BUbmision, they proposed to treat
with him and were affronted because lie
would not accord them belligerent rights.
Foolish and ephemeral as this little re-bellion
was, it had In it all the elements
of armed public treason. And it is ap-propriately
the Chid Justice of the Com-monwealth
who issues his process against
the village revolutionists and calls on
them to show why their treason should
not be punished.
There need he no fear of anything but
the strictest justice in this case. The
leaders of these men are sure of punish-ment
for one crime or another and their
dupes will probably get off easily. But
the important thing is to teach the noisy
agitators, whether alien or naturalized,
that the authority of the people is vested
In the lawful government of the Com-monwealth
and that they who make war
against it are traitors to the people.—

Senator Quay evidently appreciates the
fact that the political field Is just now
lull of the chattering magpies of party
growth who think they are converting

did not jabber much, was a powerful

I FALL GOODS
IN EVERY DEPARTMENT.
Clothing for Men:
Our tables are rapidly being filled with a mammoth
and magnificent stock of Men’s Fine Clothing. New
goods are coming in daily. You’ll find in the stock a
variety of prices and many degrees of luxury, but every
price, no matter how low, buys the latest style and the
best goods for the money to be had in the city.
Fall Clothing for Boys:
Our spacious Clothing Parlor for the boys is fillec
with the choicest that the market affords. We’ve
added to this scores of beautiful styles and designs
in Boys’ Clothing which we originated and had made
to our order. The stock is specially strong in suits fit
for school wear and many parents have already availec
themselves of our facilities to serve them.

Ramsey. Sheriff McCormick has, ap-parently,
made a good job of it this time,
the only discreditable thing about It be-ing
that it was not done long ago. One
principal cause of failure, however, was
the dlBlncliuatiou of persons to join the
raids against the gang, as, In case of fall
ure, such hostility was certain to invite
the enmity and vengeance ot the outlaws.
The success of this last Sunday exploit
will have a good moral effect. It ought
to teach the lawlessly inclined that the
certain end of plundering Is violent death
or long imprisonment, and It ought to
nerve the Fayette farmers to more
prompt and resolute resistance to any
possible future attempts to set up a des-perate
gang In their midst. It is also a
lesson to the county authorities that law
less murderers do not hear charmed lives
and are best handled by vigorous meth -
ods. The Cooley gang has been a blot on
Southwestern Pennsylvania, and all may
rejoice that It nas been wiped out,

entire capital.
They ask their friends everywhere to
send one dollar to Miss Esther Pugh,
Treasurer of the National W. C. T. U. ol
the Woman’s Temple, Chicago, as a to-ken
of their interest in this beautiful
home for the Temperance work, and to
enable them to enlarge and strengthen
the movement, not only throughout our
own land, but In every corner of the civ-ilized
world. The aggregate of these
small gifts, it promptly sent, would make
the Ternplo their own before the Natio-nal
Convention meets in Denver, Colo-rado,

Rufus Choate, the great Boston lawyer,
for once met his match In a witness in
the following Instance. His witness,
mate of a ship, had been badgered until
his temper got tire better of him, and he
began to answer in accordance with his
ruffled feelings.
"How do you know there was a moon ?”
asked Choate, the witness having said
there was, while at the same time de-claring
that it was “dark as pitch, and
raining like seven hells.”
“The nautical almanac said so; and I’ll
believe that sooner than any lawyer in
the world.”
“What was the principal luminary that
night, sir?”
“Binnacle lamp, aboard the ship.”
“Ah, you are growing sharp, Mr. Bar-ton.”
“What have vou been grinding me this
hour for, to make me dull?”
"Be civil, sir. And now tell me in
what latitude and longitude you crossed
the equator.”
“Oh, you’re joking.”
“No, sir. I am in earnest and I de
sire an answer.”
“Which is more than I can give.”
“Indeed! You were the first mate of
a clipper ship, and unable to answer BO
simple a question?”
“Yes, its the simplest question 1 ever
had asked me. Why, I thought every
fool of a lawyer knew that there ain’t no
latitude at the equator!”

I have had catarrh for twenty years,
and UHed all kinds of remedies without
relief. Mr. Smith, druggist, of Little
Kails, recommended Ely's Cream Balm.
The effect of the tirBt application was
magical, it allayed the inflammation and
the next morning my head was as clear
as a bell. I am convinced its use will ef-fect
a permanent cure. It is soothing and
pleasant, and I strongly urge its use by
all sufferers.—Geo. Terry, Little Falls,

Randolph once, traveling through a
part of Virginia strange to him, stopped
for the night at an inn near the forks of
the road. The inn keeper was a gentle-man
by birth, and, learning who his dis
tlnguished guest was, sought to draw
him into conversation during the even-ing,
but failed in the effort. In the morn-ing
Mr. Randolph called for and paid his
bill. The landlord;- still anxious for
some conversation, said: “Which way
are you traveling, Mr. Randolph?”
‘•Sir?” rejoined Mr. Randolph, surlily.
“I asked, which way are you travel-ing?”
“Havel paid you my bill?”
“Yes.”
“Do I owe you anything more?”
“No.”
“Well, I am going just where I please,
do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand.
Randolph drove off, leaving the land-lord
somewhat flurried by his ill temper,
but in a few minutes one of the servants
came back to Inquire which one of the
forks of the road the traveler should take.
Randolph was yet within hearing dis-tance.
and the landlord shouted to him
at the top of his voice: “Mr. Randolph,
you don’t owe me a cent; just take which
road you please.”
Most people need to use it.
