Series of Well Attended and Very Interesting Exercises That Were Taken Part in by Eminent Churchmen of That and Other Denominations. . •.•*'* / fay* !. -*V. PEOPLE THAT HAS MADE MUCH LOCAL HISTORY The United Brethren in Christ of Mount Pleasant have celebrated their entennial as a church, fittingly, too, as becomes a people whose history is losely interwoven with that of the town. They did this for their own sakes hat.they might feel more keenly heir relationship to the church as a divine institution; for the sake of their ancestors who are worthy ot the honor accorded their memories, and for the -ake of their successors, to whom they would transmit all the inheritance of lie past, the endearing elements of ife which are more to be desired than mid. It is no easy task to arrange for and uccessfully carry out an affair like his was, as Rev. Dr. Lawrence Keister and his hospitable people have done. They are certainly deserving of all the 'ongratulations that have been howered upon them. Perhaps, the lighest compliment to be paid them s that implied by the fact that, now hat it’s over, they have nothing to •egret. Special mention is due Dr. Keister's isteemed father-in-law, Rev. S. E. Romany, a veteran in the service of both his Master and his country. He oluntarily took up the work of writing the history of the church, and work f the hardest and most trying kind it was. But perseverance won the day nd the result was a handsomely illustrated booklet that is full of most interest-ng facts concerning the sturdy men and women who planted this church west f the Alleghenies where it has since grown and become a great power for good. The opening service was held Friday the Lord with gladness," followed by vening, beginning with the reading of he 90th Psalm by the pastor who led he congregation in repeating the Lord's rayer. The choir, under the leader-hip of Dr. B. M. Loar, whose selections hroughout were most pleasing features f the meetings, sang the anthem, ‘The ord is my light.” Dr. Keister then ade a brief address of welcome and as followed by the choir singing “I oveTtay Kingdom.” Former pastors, 'ev. G. W. Sberrick and D. Speck, hen spoke. Rev. Sherrick’s talk was n earnest, sympathetic one, while that f Rev. Speck was of a livelier strain, fe came here first from Center county n horseback, while on this occasion he REV. S CORMANY WHOSE WORK AS A LOCAL HISTORIAN IS MUCH APPRECIATED. prayer by Rev. W. H. Spangler. The ad-dress made by Rev. G. W. M. Rigor, a former resident of this place, was especially full of interest for both old and young as it contained many pleas ing reminiscences. When the congre-gation had sung "How sweet the hour of praise and prayer” to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne,” Rev. J. P. Cowling pronounced the benediction. The Sunday evening service opened with the anthem, "The shadows of evening,” by the choir. Following the reading of the 91st Psalm the congrega-tion sang "Sun of my soul. Thou Sa-vior dear.” Presiding Elder S. \Y Keister offered up a prayer. After a ised the trolley. After Miss Edith ( duet by Mrs. W. E. Shope and John ing’s well rendered solo, "The Good j Crosby, of Greensburg, Bishop Kepbart ’hepherd,” Bishop E: P.

When the offering hieh was highly appreciated. • The i had been brought up to £500, the goal of tory told of his pastorate about a the financial effort, the congregation an who requested to be dragged to joined in singing "How firm a founda-he altar and afterward fell dead in -ittsburg refreshed the memories of lder members and informed the young-r members of a striking event of the ast. Following the singing of "Blest >e the tie that binds” Rev. Dr. J. H. ershing pronounced the benediction. On Saturday evening, following the eading of the 133rd Psalm and prayer y Thomas A. Kempis, the choir sang ‘Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah" nd kind letters from Rev. S. S. Hough nd Prof. W. J. Zuek were read. This as followed by Rev. S. E. Cormany eading his excellent hiBtory of the hurch. When the hymn, "Come, Thou onnt of every blessing,” had been sung, liss Ruth Hubbs recited Dr. Keister’s entennial poem, which will be found n the fourth page of this issue. After he vocal solo, "When the mists have oiled in splender,” by Miss Clara Burk older, Revs. H. S. Wilson, C. L. Smith nd S. G. Yahn gave greetings on be-alf of the other local churches. Rev. M. Lyle pronounced the benediction llowing the duet, “Invisible Land” by rs. W. E. Shope and Mrs. George chilling. Rev. E. U. Hoenshel, another for-er pastor, conducted the quarterly re-iew in the Sabbath school Sunday orning and much interest was added y the fact that he had visited many of laces mentioned in the lesson. He Iso opened the regular morning ser-ices with prayer following the chant-g of the Lord’s prayer. Rev. Speck Iso prayed before the choir sang "Hark, ark, my soul.” Following Mrs. W. E. hope's rendition of "The Heavenly ong” Dr. W. M. Bell preached a fine iscourse. The centennial offering ken up at the close of the service mounted to $458. The afternoon service was opened by choir rendering the anthem, "Serve tion," Rev. Speck pronounced the bene dictson that brought to a close the cen-tennial services, which, from first to last, were most profitable and inspiring. FRATERNAL GREETINGS Given by Revs. Wilson, Yahn and Smith on Behalf of the Local Churches. In the course of his address Rev. Wilson said: For one hundred years your congregation and the one I repre-sent have been fellow workers in this town. In the association of the churches they are the charter members, the orig-inal pioneers who first blazed the claim here for things spiritual, and who have never dropped the tools of labor, or moved farther west. For fifty years these two congregations were joint owners in the first piece of church prop-erty, and for the other fifty years they have been side by side spiritual com-petitors. They have gathered from the flowers of human nature the honey of loyalty to Christ. Fifty years ago the hive became too small. The U. P.s re mainedathome; the United bees safely swarmed on this plot of Main street ground, helped to this location by the music of a free deed to the property from Solomon Keister, the father of your pastor. This printed and pictured history brings up to you the fathers of your church. One of them is here repre-sented as supposing the effect produced if be would come back to his pulpit after fifty years. I act upon his sug-gestion, and, fifty years after our sepa-ration I represent to you those other old men, not here pictured, those old-time partners, the ministers of the Associate Reformed, now United Presbyterian ■ . , i-'.Tot$f? 7; cU &'!•I / ■ ’ v.l THE OLD BONNET SCHOOL HOUSE. church. 1 present their greetings, ex press congratulations and bid you God I speed. Let me call your attention to something of special mention from your own history and ours, that is the ah sence of jealousy and the presence of uninterrupted friendliness during all that joint ownership period It had great possibilities in the other direction. Think too of the times in which these men lived. Times when the ecclesiasti-cal hatchet was dug up, and the war paint was upon the face of Methodist, Presbyterian. Baptist, 1 nited Brethren. And yet no hint has come to ns from document or tradition of discord or jealousy. Let us name it to the honor of the noble men and women of our past. They lived in harmony. I do not know whether a hundred years ago there was in the German your modern hymn, "Blest be the tie that binds,” but I do know that the old men whom I represent were a hundred years ago singing a hymn which some sec-tion of God's church has been Binging for three thousand years: "Behold bow good and pleasant, and how becoming well, where brethren all in unity in peace togethar dwell.” And those old people of our two churches practiced the sentiment of your modem hymn and of that song of the ages. They did more than that, they gave a direction to a Christian fellowship and unity in the town which has not been lost in the years since. May we not say that they anticipated in their relations while here upon earth the union of the church above, when all these members of the Presbyterian family of churches, shall become United Presbyterians, and all this larger com-pany, these Christians from all these other churches shall become United j Brethren. As you come into port after j a hundred years’ course, rest a while, hoist your sails and start out on another century voyage, I come representing the past to express congratulations and bid you God speed. The Power of Truth. An occasion of this kind, said Rev. Yahn, naturally suggests appropriate thoughts, one of which is embodied in the word truth. You are celebrating the centennial of this church. Not of the building; for, it is not so old as that, nor of the congregation, for no member has lived through the century; but the identity that has marked your exis-tence for a hundred years is to be found in the truth as you have taught it and practiced it. A cbnrch, in this respect, is much like the individuals who compose it. While man is constantly changing, and undergoes a complete physical change every several years, he retains his iden-tity from birth to death. So the old church building gives place to the new, and the personnel of the church is con stantly changing, but the church re-tains her identity in the immortal truth i that she teaches. Hence, we should re-gard the church as a trustee of the truth. A church is of worth to the world only to the extent that she em-bodies, teaches and practices the truth. It is probable that all churches have some of the truth. It is possible that no church has all of the truth. It fol-lows, therefore, that the best church is the church that teaches and practir a the most of the truth. In the work of such a church you can conscientiously engage, and religions work only counts to the extent that you can put con-science into it. I take it to be true that you are mem-bers of this church on such a doctrinal basis. He who belongs to a church on any other grounds is a hindrance to the church and an annoyance to the pastor. 1 do not know what changes the coming century may bring to this denomina-tion, but I do know that a hundred years hence the truth for which you stand will still live, and shine forth in the beauty of auothercentury'saccumu-lated light You of today are heirs to n splendid inheritance But this inheritance brings a tremendous responsibility—a responsibility that suggests that your church must be not only a trustee of the truth, but also a transmitter of the truth And in the transmission of the truth, keep the standard high, and speak the truth in love, that it may be "the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.” More Kind Words. It substance Rev. Smith said: I come to yon this evening to bring you the greetings of a church which is numeri-cally the strongest of ns all, but which bears therefore a correspondingly great burden of responsibility. I bring you greetings of the most sincere and heart-felt kind It affords me great pleasure to stand before you this evening and bring such a message. My purpose tonight is also to eongrat ulate you We have heard with much satisfaction the edifying historical Alleghenies in 1790. making frequent trips in the next fourteen years, on one of which JohD Jacob Pfrimmer accom-panied him as a fellow laborer; how these sturdy men of God. with Christian Newcomer, conducted a great revival meeting during the summer of 1803 in the old Bonnet school house, which stood near where Isaac Horner has his' garden today, a little over a mile east of this place, on the pike. The local chnrcb dates its birth from this meet-ing. It was in this sceool house that the first General Conference of the Church was held in 1815 when Chris-tian Newcomer and Andrew Ziller were elected bishops. In 1815 the new United Brethren people and the United Presbterians joined in the erection of a log church, just opposite this office. This was replaced by a brick structure in 1830 and the United Presbyterians bought it outright at public sale for $700 on September 10,1853, and the next year the United Brethren built their Main street church, which has since, been remodeled. COMERS AND GOERS. 1 FATHER SAMUEL ZUCK. sketch read by Brother Cormany. It has brought to ns in carefully digested form just the information which we all need to enable ns to appreciate what this centennial celebration is all about, I come to you with the greater pleasure because of the relation of unity which has always existed between ourchurches We are one in doctrine, creed and prac-tice, and we are practically one in polity. Onr greetings therefore must surely be fraternal indeed. We bear a common heritage also. From the simple and pious folk called the Moravians the early United Breth-ren in Christ received no small spiritual impulse. So, with John WesleyT, whose bicentenary we are to celebrate up at our church tomorrow. His knowledge of spiritual things was greatly quicken-ed by his contact with Peter Boehler and other good Moravians. And, finally, I greet you and congratulate you be-cause you have been permitted to live as a ebureb through such a century as this latest one. It is the best of them all. It brought great religions blessings to the world. May von be able to train up a better generation than yourselves, and then hand to them as a heritage an age made better by yourselves. And thus may God's Kingdom grow till it fills the whole earth. History of the Church. Copies of Rev. Cormany's history of the church can be had at 10 cents each, with postage added if sent by mail.

Stauffer, were all smiles at the close of their meeting Tuesday when the cashier's statement showed that their institution, with the surplus equal to the capital stock, $50,000, is now en-titled to have its name added to the national bank roll of honor. It was also decided to make some ex-tensive improvements, consisting of an addition to the rear of the present large banking room for the accommodation of the board and other officers. The rooms now nsed for that purpose will be turned over to the National Hotel property, which is part of the block owned by the bank, giving the hotel a mnch greater convenience than it now enjoys.

Burgess and Local Justices 1 ake Him to Task for What he Said of Union-town’s Wickedness. TREY DEMAND PROOF OR ft DENIAL OF II, Burgess Francis and Justices of the Peace Miller and Dawson at Uniontown are after Rev. Herbert Yeuell, pastor of the Central Christian church there, for the sensational charges he made in a recent sermon, of which the substance ■was published in last week’s JOURNAL. Rev. Yeuell made the statement that four prominent business men had very recently been arrested at 2 o'clock in the morning with four women; that they were taken before a justice, and on account of their social prominence and being married men, were let off with a fine of $15 each. He further stated that some of these men are offi-cers in the church and every Sunday walk up and down the aisle taking up the contribution. He also stated that if these men had been poor their arrest would have been heralded broadcast over the town in great headlines in the papers. The Burgess and justices most em-phatically deny that anything of the kind ever occurred in their offices and demand that Rev. Yeuell either sub-stantiate the charge or acknowledge its falsity. The reverend gentleman has not made any reply as yet. A Change of Work. "Don’t you think we’ve played this game long enough, Willie?” "Oh, I don’t know! But if you want to change I’ll let you be the horse and me the driver.”—New York Evening Journal. A I’lennant Dream. "I’ve been thinking of taking n couple of mouths off tills summer”— began th£ man at the desk. "A couple of months off!” repeated the man near the door. “Why, I didn’t know you ever got but u couple of weeks.” “I don’t, but I can think about tak-ing two months, can’t I?” And only the hard working electric fan was heard for the next five min-utes.— Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. No Life, No Energy, No Ambition.

Mrs. Joseph Shademan, of 826 8th st.. Connellsville, says ’’I was in bad shape —tired all the time—weak—nervous and depressed—more or less headache all the time. I was advised to try Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Pills and got some. The medicine is splendid. It gave me strength, energy, took away the tired feeling and gave one of life.

A hundred years of history, On this thrice sacred spot, Ron buck in shades of mystery, But ne’er can lie forgot Onr fathers here have labored, Our mothers here have loved; Their lives by us are treasured, Their worth by ns is proved.

The announcement has been made in Greensburg that there are persons prominent in political circles there who are willing to wager large amounts that they can name now the firm who will he given the contract for the build ing of the proposed new court house, although the bids for the fourth letting will not be opened until July 12. It is stated that an entirely new political combination has selected a certain con traeting firm for the plum. The people of this county, who have given ttieir consent to the erection of a new court house with the understand-ing that they would assume the pay-ment of all reasonable bills incurred, must be heartily tired of file puerile ac-tions of their officials in charge of this matter. The above report regarding the approaching opening of the bids may or may not be true, but it does seem that if Westmoreland is to baye a new temple of justice she will have to First elect successors to Controller Brown and Commissioners Earnest, Price and Mowry. NO THIRD PRESIDENTIAL TERM. Ex Governor Robert E. Pattison, of Philadelphia, is out in an interview in a Washington City paper, in which he declares against a fourth nomination ol Grover Cleveland by the Democrats Mr. Pattison is quoted ns snving that Cleveland would make a weak candi-date and that there is hardly any con dition. however favorable, under which he could be elected, even though he re ceived the nomination, which is im-probable* Mr. Pattison also holds tbai the people of this country will not give a man a third term at this time and he hopes they never will. He says the Democrats had better drop the Cleve-land idea and busy themselves with feasible ideas. At first glance it might appear that Robert, who enjoys considerable nation al reputation as a Democratic states-man, has a personal interest in having Grover's little boom sidetracked; but. any such impression formed would be wrong ns Mr. Pattison frankly adds, when this snpject is broached to him, that Pennsylvania is too hopelessly Re publican for him to expect to be so honored. Its doubtful, too, if be measures up to Colonel Bryan's standard of first class presidential timber. F t REV. DR. KEISTER. Then let ns join their chorus Of victory complete, As now they hover o'er ns, And e ery tio‘e repent. The nation once they cherished Is our own nation, too; From earth it ne’er lias perished, Though wide "Old Glory" flew. The bonds of love still bind us To all our distant past; Its threefold strands remind us Of things that always last. Then let these years, a hundred, Call back to days of yore, From which we have been sundered. Our minds and henrfs once more. We look, but not in sadness; We weep, but not in grief; Our tears are tears of gladness; We know "a sweet relief.” With ns as with onr fathers, God's love in Christ iH known; And in Hi" arms He gathers His cherished and His own. The years now past, a hundred, May point onr minds before. To years of which we’ve wondered, The years that, ne’or are o’er. So bright are they with glory, So sweet with fellowship,— They eolne in sacred story, They haste to touch our lip. A hundred years of history, From this thrice-saered spot, Reach out in glorious mystery, And cannot be forgot. WILLIAM AND THEODORE. It was a graceful act of President Roosevelt to send an American sqnad ron to last week’s German regetta at Kiel, Prussia, and in acknowledging the courtesy Emperor William sent this cablegram to the President. "On my arrival at Kiel I was saluted by a fine American squadron and had the pleasure of receiving Admiral Cot ton and his captains. It was a very happy and kind inspiration on yonr part to send the squadron to Kiel for the week, and thanks to this fact I was aide to inspect the magnificent flagship Kearsarge today, when I was able to compliment the captains on the excep tionally good state of efficiency and neatness of the ship and the fine appear ance of her gallant crew. Everybody will vie with each other to make them feel at home, in response to the kind and friendly reception of my brother by the citizens of the United States. The President replied, telling of the pleasure it was to him, as the holder of the highest office in the gift of the American people, to hear such words of praise from a royal expert. Of course, some of onr old sea dogs are already growling, claiming that the Emperor took this means of getting the latest American ideas on naval architecture. But, even were that true, the knowl-edge he gained will doubtless only in crease his respect for your Uncle Sam-uel’s sea power. International Taffy. Pittsburg Times. The German Emperor did a very graceful and kingly act yesterday when he cabled to the President praising the American squadron sent to Kiel. He is such a martinet in military and naval matters with his own soldiers and sailors that commendation from him ninst mean a good deal to the officers and men, not only of thd flagship Rear sarge, which he inspected, ■ but the whole squadron.

A $50,000 hotel and a number of cottages will be erected while the grounds will be beautified. ^ ^ ORDINANCE. An Ordinance to authorize an Increase of the Indebtedness of the Borough of Mount.

Husband Returns From Journey to His Old Home to Find His Wife and Children Gaunt, Hollow-Eyed and Dying of Starvation. , The reader who sits to-day in his comfortable home and enjoys the peaceful life of this section of our land can scarcely appreciate the great hardships which the pioneer settlers of Pennsylvania and Ohio endured a century and more ago, as they fought back the wilderness line and brought this rich country under cultivation and civilization. This is the story of the first white child born in the West-ern Reserve, and of the melancholy fate which overtook it. The first ex-ploring party of settlers whas led into the Reserve by General Moses Cleaveland in 1796. They were hardy men, born to conquer the wilderness and make it blossom as the rose, and they came with the conscious tread of those behind whom were following millions. In the western progress of the Cleaveland party a halt was made at a spot on the southern shore of Lake Erie, where since has grown up the town of Conneaut, Ohio. They were here for some time during the early summer of 1796, and then at length passed on westward to the mouth of the Cuyahoga, where they laid the foundations of a new city which Is now known as Cleveland. Here we leave them, for this story has to do with a btave man and his family who followed alone the track of the Cleaveland party. This sian was James Kingsbury, who had in the early summer left his old home in New York state and set out with fam-ily and household goods to seek a newer habitation in the virgin Ohio country. Their sad adventures dur-ing the following winter furnish one of the most thrilling of frontier trage-dies. Kingsbury belonged to that numerous class to whom the promise of new things always seemed the cer-tainty of better things, and the great rich lands lying to the south of Lake Erie seemed like an Eden, or a Can-aan, full of promise. Making all prep-arations possible he followed in the trail of General Cleaveland’s survey-ing party. Only a short, time after they had left conneaut this venture-some family, consisting of husband, wife and several children, arrived at that spot. Constructing a crude cab-in close by the lake, these pioneers settled down to spend the winter, being the first family to winter in the Reserve. Their quarters were rude, affording but poor accommodations for a man, not to say anything of the more tender woman and children who so bravely set their hands to the con-quest of the untamed wilderness. Soon after this rough beginning was made Mr. Kingsbury found that he would have to make a journey back to his former home in the East to at-tend to some business matters which fcis sudden departure had compelled him to leave unfinished. This made necessary the leaving of his family alone in that exposed situlation, but no one flinched from the hardship, and the husband and father sat out on his way. Weeks went by and the time of his expected return arrived. No sign of his approach was seen. The days passed and the weeks in-creased. The brave pioneer wife and mother began to fear that death had overtaken her absent loved one, but all she could do was to watch and wait. Food became scarce and they were compelled to reduce their al-lowance, so that hunger troubled them as well as cold. Their situation was becoming desperate, and there was no way of helping matters. Mean-time, back in old York state, Mr. Kingsbury had attended to his busi-ness and was just about to set out on his return, when he was taken ill with a fever, which laid him up for long weeks. It would be hard to ap-preciate his feelings during this en-forced delay. At last, well on into the winter, he was able to start back home. At Buffalo he hired an Indian guide, that he might save time. At Presqu Isle he bought twenty pounds of flour, all he could carry. Finally one morning he reached his cabin and Hie sight made his heart sick. His wife lay in bed ill, and in the ad-vanced stages of emaciation from star-vation. By her side lay the body of a child born during his absence, which had died for lack of nourishment. This was the first white child born in the Western Reserve, and such was its early and sad fate, born in a land rich and fertile, only to be starved to death in a few days. The other children were gaunt and hollow-eyed, but still living. The food which the father brought soon turned the tide of life, and trouble vanished for the time. A century has wrought marvelous changes at Conneaut. Where the lone cabin stood is now a busy, growing community of thousands,a commercial center of great activity. The actual site of the Kingsbury cabin has for three-quarters of a century been cov-ered by the encroaching waters of the lake, as the shore line changed. It ap-pears that Mr. Kingsbury in later years moved to the vicinity of Cleve-land. Of him it is related that his was the hand which thrust the first sickle into a ripened field of wheat on the Western Reserve. In his later life he became a legislator and judgs During the past winter his grandson an aged an honored Methodist Episco-pal clergyman, died at Alliance, Ohio C. L.

There are yet living some few per-sons in Northern Ohio who have a personal recoliectlon of the famous and destructive dry summer of 1845 This drought was not general, but pre-vailed throughout a fated strip of country lying along the southern shore of Lake Erie for over a hun-dred miles, and being about sixty miles in width. The spring rains ceased that year in the latter part of March, after which no rain fell till June 10, when during part of a single afternoon a little fall occurred. This small amount of moisture made no im pression on the parched ground, and the great dry spell continued abso lately unbroken until July 2, when enough water was let down from the heavens to make a little bit of mud on the roads. Thus did nature merely tantilize the weary and worried peo-ple, for the skies again cleared up and assumed their long wonted brassy hue. This continued till in Septem-ber, when rains came sufficiently copi-ous to start vegetation, but too late tc help the sufferers. As this terri-ble long and dry summer wore on the wells went dry, springs failed, brooks and creeks went dry, and rivers were reduced to mere tiny rivulets mean-dering along the bottoms of former deep channels. The life ordinarily sustained in the waters was destroyed very largely. Vegetation of course shriveled up. The grass crop became a mere matted tangle of dry and in-flammable stuff. The setting of a fire among it was very dangerous, for the flames would run like fiery serpents in all directions. The settlers had to he exceedingly careful as to every spark of fire all through that dread-ful summer. Great trouble was ex-perienced with the dust. It was every-where. Even in meadows one walking would stir up great clouds of it like horses on the roads. Grain crops were practically destroyed. For the most part no attempt was made to harvest them, as they could not have been made to pay for even the time spent in gathering them. The effect, of the drought was quite noticeable in the forests, where the trees shed their foliage early in the summer, and the leaves which did not fall dried up on the branches. The only things which seemed to thrive during the dry spell were the grasshoppers, which were reduced at length to the eating of thistles and elders to sus-tain life. The scarcity of feed which followed compelled the owners of stock to sell at low prices, or to send their anijnals down into the Scioto valley or over into Pennsylvania. This great drought brought total ruin to many a hard-working man, and it took others many years to recover their lost standing with the world. It is safe to say that never while he lives will any man forget the drought of 1845, who, as a man and a farmer, tried to live unharmed through it. C. L. SMITH. To Amount Outstanding FIVE PER CENT.

THORPE I Copyright, 1901, by T. H. Thorpe. vj ov V] ICONTINiniD.J “Estelle, am 1 never to be regarded by you save ns the suggestion of an-other man? Can you not see”— Her surprised and pained glance apprised him that he was betraying anger, and he checked the utterance of harsh words that sprang from his heart, for he knew his time was not yet ripe while a chance remained that Horace still survived. “Pardon me, mademoiselle,” he added humbly. "My distress has made me a sick man, irritable beyond my power of self control. I will not come to you again until 1 am better." “1 hope that will be soon,” she said, giving him her hand. He next sought Dede’s. Passing Quillebert’s bouse, he was halted by Laure. “Your brother—Is It true that he is dead?” she asked. “I do not know,” he answered. “What do you believe?” “Nothing.” “What does she believe?” pointing toward Estelle’s home. “She mourns for him.” “That Is more than you will do.” “Why?” “For a reason I will not state.” “Do you know the reason?” he asked testily. “I do not. I sense It. I Inherit that from my grandmother.” “Bah, Laure! That Is nonsense, which you did not inherit from the doc-tress.” “Have It your own way. But there Is a second reason why you will not mourn.” “What is that?” “Because you will not be sorry.” “Do you not think you are overstep-ping the bounds?” “I have no bounds. I tnlk so because 1 know you. I have studied you, but I need not have done so, for I under-stand you without.” “Well?” "You are in danger.” “From whom?” “Yourself.” “Then 1 am doomed, for I cannot es-cape from myself.” And Evariste laughed at his poser. “But you can escape,” Laure said, undisturbed. “How?” “Avoid Qulllebert from this time on.” “That would be inconvenient, though it would not break my heart.” “And leave off your hopeless pursuit of that girl,” again stretching her arm down the bayou, “for you shall never marry her.” “Is that a threat?” ho demanded. “It is a prophecy,” she said, with a confident air. “I was not aware Cassandra survived Troy.” “I do not know what you mean, but | you know what I mean.” “Well, I thank you,” he said, gather-ing the reins of his bridle and raising his hat. “Unless you heed you shall have no cause to thank me.” She kept her eyes fixed upon him until he disappeared behind the crest of the bayou bank, and then with all the intensity of her nature she exclaimed: “He shall come my way! I will it!” Evariste continued to the cabaret and there found his two customary companions at their usual devotion to rum and cards. Qulllebert was restive and hastened the intoxication and de-parture of old Latiolais, after which he drew his chair near to Evariste and |said: “What are your plans now that your | brother is dead?” “They are not definitely formed. I | must have verification of this report.” “But you believe it?” asked Qutlle- |bert. “I incline to.” “If it prove true, what is your pur-pose toward Latiolais’ granddaughter?” “I will marry her.” “Will she consent?” “Yes, when I convince her she must I in order to save her home and the old | man’s honor.” “How will you do that?” “By mea,ns of the papers I bought Ifrom you and the two you still hold, |wbich I will buy also.” “You mean the power of attorney land the order to cancel her mortgage |upon his plantation?” “Yes.” “How did you learn I had them?” “It Is not necessary to explain.” “If I put them at your service with-out price, you will not relent?” “Never!” said Evariste, setting his |teeth together determinedly. “The papers are subject to your de-aand. Give me your hand,” Qulllebert bald exultingly, adding as he chuckled, [‘Alia, my little Laure of the ‘shall’ and fhe ‘shall not!’ ” “What do you mean by that?” sharp-ly asked Evariste, eying Qulllebert sus-piciously. “Oh, as you said Just now. It is not necessary to explain,” replied the hit-ler, continuing his low, malevolent laugh. “We will await the eontirma- |Jou of the news.” And await they did, though Impa-tiently enough, until two winters nnd Iprings had rolled by and fallen Into the Immeasurable and insatiate maw If the past. Though the battle of Per-fyvllle became a known historical fact, po list of the Confederate dead was ob-tainable, nnd no survivor returned to give the roll of the slain. Between Avoyelles and the dwindling army of the southwest lay the Impassable Un-ion line along the mighty river. But at length when this latter stretched to the western shore and beyond the re-gion of middle Louisiana came the con-firmation so devoutly wished. In rags nnd unshod, his right arm haudless and his left leg from the knee gone, Ynlsin Mouillot hobbled back to his old home, discharged ns incapable of service. To eager listeners, many of them weeping, he recited what of the engagement he had seen, which was little, for he was in the heat of it. He told of the drought parched section of Kentucky, dusty and waterless, through which forced marches were made: how, east of Perryville, his re treating division was halted nnd form-ed for action under a broiling midday sun: how tiie warriors of both sides were famished for drink, while the only spring on the field lay in an apple orchard, on one side of which was a “ What do you mean by thatt" low stone wall protecting a battalion of Illinois infantry. His wan face glow-ed as he described the charges of his company on this wall to uncover the spring. The first was under Captain Tailleur. who fell at the brink of the pool with a minle ball through his forehead. Lieutenant Onkfell led the second, received a murderous volley within 40 feet of the wall and bit the dust with Leon, the jockey, who had joined him at Corinth and followed him as body servant and cook of his mess. The third charge was about to be made under the leadership of Lieu-tenant Brulleton when a shell exploded in Valsin’s face, nnd he knew no more until he recovered consciousness in a canvas covered wagon jolting through the passes of the Cumberland moun-tains to find himself minus a foot and a hand. He had lingered about the camps and hospitals until he was formally re-ported as unfit for duty, discharged and ordered to return home as best he could. His journay back was long, te-dious and painful nnd now that it was accomplished appeared to him a hide-ous dream. When the doleful story of Vnlsin was carried to Estelle, she looked with streaming eyes far into the blue vault above and whispered: “Horace, bear me. Y’our voice called my love into being, and now my love is dead. No other voice than yours shall ever recall it to life.” [TO BE CONTINUED.] He Just a Little Hit Cautiou-s The girl who had fallen into the water screamed frantically for help. “Save me! Save me!” she cried. The man on the bank hesitated. “I’m a married man,” he said, “and I have seven children. I want that distinctly understood.” “Yes, yes; but save me!” cried the girl. “I can’t marry you if I do,” urged the man. “No, no; only save me.” “If any girl falls into my arms and calls me her preserver there’s going to be a whole lot of trouble.” “I won’t.” “Well, I’ll tackle the job,” he said ns he threw aside his coat. “You see, I was caught on one of these preserver deals once, and that’s how I come to be married, so I’m disposed to be just a little bit cautious.”—Brooklyn Eagle.

AFTER SLOT MACHINES. District Attorney Cunningham has Begun a Crusade Against Them Following Conviction of One Owner. PARENTS PROTEST BEMUSE OF THEIR BOTS, District Attorney Cunningham has begun a crusade against the slot ma-chine owners in this county and con-stables of boroughs and townships will be notified that they will be expected to return all owners of machines found in their districts. A test case conducted in the courts at Greensburg recently resulted in the conviction of the defen dant, W. J. Harvey, of Derry. The cause of the raid is numerous appeals that have been made recently to the county authorities from parents of boys who spend all their earnings, it is said, on the machines. Quite a few are re ported to be located in this county. Abyssinian Money. The Emperor Menelik has had a curious experience in his efforts to replace barter by a metallic currency m Abyssinia. The Maria Theresa thaler has for generations been cur-rent, but for want of a smaller coinage salt blocks became the standard of exchange and resisted all efforts, even of the emperor, to replace them by a new currency coined in Paris some years ago. The salt blocks have giv-en way, but not to the new coinage, which the people will not touch. The new standard of values is—the rifle cartridge.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
WAS EITTINOLY OBSERVED
BY THE UNITED BRETHREN.
Series of Well Attended and Very Interesting Exercises That
Were Taken Part in by Eminent Churchmen of
That and Other Denominations.

PEOPLE THAT HAS MADE MUCH LOCAL HISTORY
The United Brethren in Christ of Mount Pleasant have celebrated their
entennial as a church, fittingly, too, as becomes a people whose history is
losely interwoven with that of the town. They did this for their own sakes
hat.they might feel more keenly
heir relationship to the church as a
divine institution; for the sake of their
ancestors who are worthy ot the honor
accorded their memories, and for the
-ake of their successors, to whom they
would transmit all the inheritance of
lie past, the endearing elements of
ife which are more to be desired than
mid.
It is no easy task to arrange for and
uccessfully carry out an affair like
his was, as Rev. Dr. Lawrence Keister
and his hospitable people have done.
They are certainly deserving of all the
'ongratulations that have been
howered upon them. Perhaps, the
lighest compliment to be paid them
s that implied by the fact that, now
hat it’s over, they have nothing to
•egret.
Special mention is due Dr. Keister's
isteemed father-in-law, Rev. S. E.
Romany, a veteran in the service of both his Master and his country. He
oluntarily took up the work of writing the history of the church, and work
f the hardest and most trying kind it was. But perseverance won the day
nd the result was a handsomely illustrated booklet that is full of most interest-ng
facts concerning the sturdy men and women who planted this church west
f the Alleghenies where it has since grown and become a great power for good.
The opening service was held Friday the Lord with gladness," followed by
vening, beginning with the reading of
he 90th Psalm by the pastor who led
he congregation in repeating the Lord's
rayer. The choir, under the leader-hip
of Dr. B. M. Loar, whose selections
hroughout were most pleasing features
f the meetings, sang the anthem, ‘The
ord is my light.” Dr. Keister then
ade a brief address of welcome and
as followed by the choir singing “I
oveTtay Kingdom.” Former pastors,
'ev. G. W. Sberrick and D. Speck,
hen spoke. Rev. Sherrick’s talk was
n earnest, sympathetic one, while that

prayer by Rev. W. H. Spangler. The ad-dress
made by Rev. G. W. M. Rigor,
a former resident of this place, was
especially full of interest for both old
and young as it contained many pleas
ing reminiscences. When the congre-gation
had sung "How sweet the hour
of praise and prayer” to the tune of
"Auld Lang Syne,” Rev. J. P. Cowling
pronounced the benediction.
The Sunday evening service opened
with the anthem, "The shadows of
evening,” by the choir. Following the
reading of the 91st Psalm the congrega-tion
sang "Sun of my soul. Thou Sa-vior
dear.” Presiding Elder S. \Y
Keister offered up a prayer. After a

lder members and informed the young-r
members of a striking event of the
ast. Following the singing of "Blest
>e the tie that binds” Rev. Dr. J. H.
ershing pronounced the benediction.
On Saturday evening, following the
eading of the 133rd Psalm and prayer
y Thomas A. Kempis, the choir sang
‘Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah"
nd kind letters from Rev. S. S. Hough
nd Prof. W. J. Zuek were read. This
as followed by Rev. S. E. Cormany
eading his excellent hiBtory of the
hurch. When the hymn, "Come, Thou
onnt of every blessing,” had been sung,
liss Ruth Hubbs recited Dr. Keister’s
entennial poem, which will be found
n the fourth page of this issue. After
he vocal solo, "When the mists have
oiled in splender,” by Miss Clara Burk
older, Revs. H. S. Wilson, C. L. Smith
nd S. G. Yahn gave greetings on be-alf
of the other local churches. Rev.
M. Lyle pronounced the benediction

rs. W. E. Shope and Mrs. George
chilling.
Rev. E. U. Hoenshel, another for-er
pastor, conducted the quarterly re-iew
in the Sabbath school Sunday
orning and much interest was added
y the fact that he had visited many of
laces mentioned in the lesson. He
Iso opened the regular morning ser-ices
with prayer following the chant-g
of the Lord’s prayer. Rev. Speck
Iso prayed before the choir sang "Hark,
ark, my soul.” Following Mrs. W. E.
hope's rendition of "The Heavenly
ong” Dr. W. M. Bell preached a fine
iscourse. The centennial offering
ken up at the close of the service
mounted to $458.
The afternoon service was opened by
choir rendering the anthem, "Serve
tion," Rev. Speck pronounced the bene
dictson that brought to a close the cen-tennial
services, which, from first to
last, were most profitable and inspiring.
FRATERNAL GREETINGS
Given by Revs. Wilson, Yahn and
Smith on Behalf of the
Local Churches.
In the course of his address Rev.
Wilson said: For one hundred years
your congregation and the one I repre-sent
have been fellow workers in this
town. In the association of the churches
they are the charter members, the orig-inal
pioneers who first blazed the claim
here for things spiritual, and who have
never dropped the tools of labor, or
moved farther west. For fifty years
these two congregations were joint
owners in the first piece of church prop-erty,
and for the other fifty years they
have been side by side spiritual com-petitors.
They have gathered from the
flowers of human nature the honey of
loyalty to Christ. Fifty years ago the
hive became too small. The U. P.s re
mainedathome; the United bees safely
swarmed on this plot of Main street
ground, helped to this location by the
music of a free deed to the property
from Solomon Keister, the father of
your pastor.
This printed and pictured history
brings up to you the fathers of your
church. One of them is here repre-sented
as supposing the effect produced
if be would come back to his pulpit
after fifty years. I act upon his sug-gestion,
and, fifty years after our sepa-ration
I represent to you those other old
men, not here pictured, those old-time
partners, the ministers of the Associate
Reformed, now United Presbyterian

church. 1 present their greetings, ex
press congratulations and bid you God I
speed. Let me call your attention to
something of special mention from your
own history and ours, that is the ah
sence of jealousy and the presence of
uninterrupted friendliness during all
that joint ownership period It had
great possibilities in the other direction.
Think too of the times in which these
men lived. Times when the ecclesiasti-cal
hatchet was dug up, and the war
paint was upon the face of Methodist,
Presbyterian. Baptist, 1 nited Brethren.
And yet no hint has come to ns from
document or tradition of discord or
jealousy. Let us name it to the honor
of the noble men and women of our
past. They lived in harmony.
I do not know whether a hundred
years ago there was in the German your
modern hymn, "Blest be the tie that
binds,” but I do know that the old men
whom I represent were a hundred years
ago singing a hymn which some sec-tion
of God's church has been Binging
for three thousand years: "Behold bow
good and pleasant, and how becoming
well, where brethren all in unity in
peace togethar dwell.” And those old
people of our two churches practiced
the sentiment of your modem hymn
and of that song of the ages. They did
more than that, they gave a direction
to a Christian fellowship and unity in
the town which has not been lost in the
years since.
May we not say that they anticipated
in their relations while here upon earth
the union of the church above, when
all these members of the Presbyterian
family of churches, shall become United
Presbyterians, and all this larger com-pany,
these Christians from all these
other churches shall become United j
Brethren. As you come into port after j
a hundred years’ course, rest a while,
hoist your sails and start out on another
century voyage, I come representing
the past to express congratulations and
bid you God speed.
The Power of Truth.
An occasion of this kind, said Rev.
Yahn, naturally suggests appropriate
thoughts, one of which is embodied in
the word truth. You are celebrating
the centennial of this church. Not of
the building; for, it is not so old as that,
nor of the congregation, for no member
has lived through the century; but the
identity that has marked your exis-tence
for a hundred years is to be
found in the truth as you have taught
it and practiced it.
A cbnrch, in this respect, is much
like the individuals who compose it.
While man is constantly changing, and
undergoes a complete physical change
every several years, he retains his iden-tity
from birth to death. So the old
church building gives place to the new,
and the personnel of the church is con
stantly changing, but the church re-tains
her identity in the immortal truth i
that she teaches. Hence, we should re-gard
the church as a trustee of the
truth. A church is of worth to the
world only to the extent that she em-bodies,
teaches and practices the truth.
It is probable that all churches have
some of the truth. It is possible that
no church has all of the truth. It fol-lows,
therefore, that the best church is
the church that teaches and practir a
the most of the truth. In the work of
such a church you can conscientiously
engage, and religions work only counts
to the extent that you can put con-science
into it.
I take it to be true that you are mem-bers
of this church on such a doctrinal
basis. He who belongs to a church on
any other grounds is a hindrance to the
church and an annoyance to the pastor.
1 do not know what changes the coming
century may bring to this denomina-tion,
but I do know that a hundred
years hence the truth for which you
stand will still live, and shine forth in
the beauty of auothercentury'saccumu-lated
light
You of today are heirs to n splendid
inheritance But this inheritance
brings a tremendous responsibility—a
responsibility that suggests that your
church must be not only a trustee of the
truth, but also a transmitter of the
truth And in the transmission of the
truth, keep the standard high, and
speak the truth in love, that it may be
"the power of God unto salvation to
every one that believeth.”
More Kind Words.
It substance Rev. Smith said: I come
to yon this evening to bring you the
greetings of a church which is numeri-cally
the strongest of ns all, but which
bears therefore a correspondingly great
burden of responsibility. I bring you
greetings of the most sincere and heart-felt
kind It affords me great pleasure
to stand before you this evening and
bring such a message.
My purpose tonight is also to eongrat
ulate you We have heard with much
satisfaction the edifying historical
Alleghenies in 1790. making frequent
trips in the next fourteen years, on one
of which JohD Jacob Pfrimmer accom-panied
him as a fellow laborer; how
these sturdy men of God. with Christian
Newcomer, conducted a great revival
meeting during the summer of 1803 in
the old Bonnet school house, which
stood near where Isaac Horner has his'
garden today, a little over a mile east
of this place, on the pike. The local
chnrcb dates its birth from this meet-ing.
It was in this sceool house that
the first General Conference of the
Church was held in 1815 when Chris-tian
Newcomer and Andrew Ziller
were elected bishops. In 1815 the new
United Brethren people and the United
Presbterians joined in the erection of a
log church, just opposite this office.
This was replaced by a brick structure
in 1830 and the United Presbyterians
bought it outright at public sale for
$700 on September 10,1853, and the next
year the United Brethren built their
Main street church, which has since,
been remodeled.

sketch read by Brother Cormany. It
has brought to ns in carefully digested
form just the information which we all
need to enable ns to appreciate what
this centennial celebration is all about,
I come to you with the greater pleasure
because of the relation of unity which
has always existed between ourchurches
We are one in doctrine, creed and prac-tice,
and we are practically one in
polity. Onr greetings therefore must
surely be fraternal indeed.
We bear a common heritage also.
From the simple and pious folk called
the Moravians the early United Breth-ren
in Christ received no small spiritual
impulse. So, with John WesleyT, whose
bicentenary we are to celebrate up at
our church tomorrow. His knowledge
of spiritual things was greatly quicken-ed
by his contact with Peter Boehler
and other good Moravians. And, finally,
I greet you and congratulate you be-cause
you have been permitted to live
as a ebureb through such a century as
this latest one. It is the best of them
all. It brought great religions blessings
to the world. May von be able to train
up a better generation than yourselves,
and then hand to them as a heritage an
age made better by yourselves. And
thus may God's Kingdom grow till it
fills the whole earth.

NOW UP TO
REV. YEUELL.
Burgess and Local Justices 1 ake Him to
Task for What he Said of Union-town’s
Wickedness.
TREY DEMAND PROOF OR ft DENIAL OF II,
Burgess Francis and Justices of the
Peace Miller and Dawson at Uniontown
are after Rev. Herbert Yeuell, pastor of
the Central Christian church there, for
the sensational charges he made in a
recent sermon, of which the substance
■was published in last week’s JOURNAL.
Rev. Yeuell made the statement that
four prominent business men had very
recently been arrested at 2 o'clock in
the morning with four women; that
they were taken before a justice, and
on account of their social prominence
and being married men, were let off
with a fine of $15 each. He further
stated that some of these men are offi-cers
in the church and every Sunday
walk up and down the aisle taking up
the contribution. He also stated that
if these men had been poor their arrest
would have been heralded broadcast
over the town in great headlines in the
papers.
The Burgess and justices most em-phatically
deny that anything of the
kind ever occurred in their offices and
demand that Rev. Yeuell either sub-stantiate
the charge or acknowledge its
falsity. The reverend gentleman has
not made any reply as yet.
A Change of Work.
"Don’t you think we’ve played this
game long enough, Willie?”
"Oh, I don’t know! But if you want
to change I’ll let you be the horse and
me the driver.”—New York Evening
Journal.
A I’lennant Dream.
"I’ve been thinking of taking n
couple of mouths off tills summer”—
began th£ man at the desk.
"A couple of months off!” repeated
the man near the door. “Why, I didn’t
know you ever got but u couple of
weeks.”
“I don’t, but I can think about tak-ing
two months, can’t I?”
And only the hard working electric
fan was heard for the next five min-utes.—
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
No Life, No Energy, No
Ambition.
These are common expressions nowa-days
and the finger posts that point
with unfailing accuracy to a nervous
system robbed of its vitality by over-exertion,
overstrain or excess of some
kind. That anyone should allow this
condition to go on to complete mental,
physicial or sexual ruin as it surely
must if neglected, is a positive crime
when the cure is at hand in Dr. A. W.
Chase’s Nerve Pills—a medicine design-ed
expressly for this condition—a medi-cine
that cures to stay cured by resup-plying
the very essential of life—Nerve
Force.
Mrs. Joseph Shademan, of 826 8th st..
Connellsville, says ’’I was in bad shape
—tired all the time—weak—nervous and
depressed—more or less headache all the
time. I was advised to try Dr. A. W.
Chase’s Nerve Pills and got some.
The medicine is splendid. It gave me
strength, energy, took away the tired
feeling and gave one of life. My head-ache
disappeared completely—I am sure
I cannot say too much for the Nerve
Pills as they made me well and strong.”

THE FINAL ARGUMENT.
In these weekly talks of the past few months, we have touched on many sides
of the clothing question—we have endeavored to be impartial in all our statements
—we have sought to give facts, and facts only—neither stretching the truth in our
favor, nor distorting conditions of competition.

In the meantime, these “talks” have brought
us many new friends—and our^’methods of busi-ness
have cemented their patronage. In the
newspapers, we can only declare our intentions,
but in our business relations we can prove our
intentions—and as the “proof of the pudding is
in the eating,” our meriting success is shown in
the tremendous increase of our business this
spring.
