VOL. 34. MOUNT PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1907. NO. 41 INTIERESIINC ' MEETING OF BOROUGH DADS Was that They Held on Mon-day Evening Last. COLLEGE AVENUE WILL BE OPENED AS ORDINANCE IS PASSED OVER BUR-GESS CROSBY'S VETO. His Honor Defended His Position by Giving the Reasons for His Disap-proval of the Measure which, How-ever, is Put Through by a Vote of Six to Two. A New Permit Ordi-nance Ordered for the Benefit of Would-be Natural Gas Consumers The regular October meeting of Coun-cil, held Monday evening, was full of interest as the ordinance looking to the opening out of College avenue from Standpipe alley to Main street was pass-ed over Burgess Crosby’s veto by a vote of 6 to 2. Tile First and Second ward members voted solidly for the measure, while two of the Third ward represen-tatives voted against it. Mr. Baldwin was the only member absent. Before the vote was taken Burgess Crosby made a speech in defense of his disapproval. He said that he was favor-able to the opening and would have at-tached his signature, could the people of College avenue, who are those most ben-efitted, been made to pay a fair share of the cost. But, when he learned that only the owners of abutting properties could be assessed, he felt that it was his duty to veto the ordinance. Those who favored the measure say the improve-ment is needed and that, while the town will have to pay a much larger sum than was at first supposed, the expense can be met without putting any addi-tional burden on the taxpayers. The ordinance committee was in-structed to draw up a new ordinance re-garding permits for digging up the streets. The present rates are $5 tor a paved street and $2.50 for an unpaved thoroughfare. In deference to citizens who wish to become natural gas con-sumers and who would, in the end, have to pay, it was decided to reduce the charges. THE ANNUAL SESSION Of the West Pennsylvania Eldership of the Churches of God. The annual session of the West Penn-sylvania Eldership of the Churches ot God closed at Brackenridge, Pa., Sunday last. Actions were taken in connection with missionary, educational and pub-lishing interests of the body. The re-port of the treasurer. George W. Stoner, of this place, showed the various funds to be in an excellent condition, having balances on hand after the payment of all assessments and appropriations. Rev. Dr. S. G. Yahn was re-appointed pastor of the local Church of God for the seventeenth time. It may be of in-terest to know that this is the longest pastorate in the history of the Churches of God in the United States. While the time limit was dropped about twenty-five years ago, the average length of a pastorate is still under five years. Dr. Yahn will occupy his pulpit next Sab-bath at 10:30 a. m. and 7 p. m. The following additional appoint-ments will be of interest to JOURNAL readers: Barkeyville, J.’ S. Boyd; Frank-lin, Geo. M. Hulme; Jefferson, E. L. Yahn; Templeton, Henry Armstrong; Ellwood, J. W.

Luke McKittrick, aged 15, and Mary Sant, six years his senior, eloped from Unioutown last Wednesday and were married at Cumberland. All went well until they returned home the next day when the youthful groom was arrested and placed in jail on information made by his father charging incorrigibility. fl&IPvjkTO, 4 . i; WP: ' REV.

One of the most enjoyable musical recitals in the history of that school was given in the Institute parlors Saturday eve-ning by Misses French and Hutchingon, respectively, the heads of the voice and piano departments. Miss French’s ex-cellent work for the past several years leaves her in need of no introduction to a Mount Pleasant audience; while Miss Hutchinson’s playing proved her to be a most worthy suc-cessor to Miss Rublee.

Items of Interest ttatnered From Both Mine and Yard. The stockholders of the Keystone Coal and Coke Company will meet at Greens-burg October 22 to vote on a proposition to increase the capital stock of that cor-poration from nothing to $1,500,000. The Connellsville Central Coke Com-pany will soon have 30 new ovens of the Belgian type ready lor fire at its Herbert plant which will eventually have a total of 100 of these ovens; while the Pittsburg and Westmoreland Coal Company has awarded the contract for 1,000 ovens similarly constructed to de-velop its big Washington county coal field at a cost of over $1,000,000. Much is claimed for this type of oven in labor saving and in the quality of coke pro-duced in less time than by the old bee hive process. As noted in THE JOURNAL, Superintendent James S. Mack some time ago built two of this new style of oven at the Frick company's Standard plant, but the officials have not as yet passed judgment on the result. The Jamison Coal & Coke Company has bought 150 acres of the Mellon, So-wosh and McCarthy farms near George station for a site for a big reservoir to supply its five big plants with water. The New Alexandria Coke Company has bought the J. R. Johnston farm near New Alexandria for $27,300. It contains 51 acres of coal and 170 acres of surface adjoining 200 acres of coal the company already owned. The field will be devel-oped at an early date and have extended to it the New Alexandria branch of the Pennsylvania railroad. The H. C. Frick Coke Company is said to have bought out its equal partner in the Hostetter-Connellsville Coke Com-pany, George I. Whitney, paying him $3,500,000. Steps are being taken to prolong the life of the Frick company's Morewood plant many years by opening up the Martin Wertz coal of some 250 acres. To do this there will have to be a new haulage about 13,000 feet in length and heavier engines than those now in use. The Keystone Coal & Coke Company has purchased and taken charge of the Huron Coal Company’s plant at Dun-dale, the terminus of the Alexandria branch of the Pennsylvania railroad, in Salem township, where about 100 miners are employed. The Millwood plant of the Latrobe- Connellsville Coal & Coke Company has resumed operation, following an idle-ness since August while a compressed air system was being installed. Contractor H. F. Stark, of Greensburg, who is putting down two shafts for the Mount Pleasant Coke Company at Car-pentertown to develop the 1,000-acre coal field recently leased from the Thaw estate, will first erect 100 old bee hive ovens and then probably add 300 of the Belgian type. CANDIDATES BUNCHED. Fayette Republican County Chairman Byrne’s New Scheme. Hon. John R. Byrne, Fayette Republi-can county chairman, has bunched his candidates and is leading them on a hand-shaking tour of “Old Fiatt," hav-ing ctft out the time-honored red fire and brass band features. REV. JOHN K. HOWE. With “Johnny" are: John Quincy Van Swearingen, candidate on both the Re-publican and Democratic tickets for judge of Common Pleas court; Judge James Clark Work, candidate for the Orphans' court judgeship; Peter Adol-phus Johns, candidate for sheriff, and Davis W. Henderson, candidate for dis-trict attorney, as well as other candi-dates on the Republican ticket. Baffled East End Robbers. Thieves attempted to break into three East End residences one night last week, but were in each case frightened away before they could effect an entrance. DAVID 10NGSDORE VISITS FRIENDS ID THIS SECTION After Many Years Spent as a Farmer in Missouri. HE IS ACCOMPANIED BY HIS WIPE WHO WAS A DAUGHTER OF THE LATE ABRAM 0. 0VERH0LT. Mr. Longsdorf, Who Went to the Front in ’01 as a Member of Old Company B. 28th Beg-iment, and Served His Country Until Peace was B,estored, Renews His Journal Subscription and Tells of His Ex-perience Out Where Peop'le Have to be Shown. David Longsdorf, a Missouri farmer living near Brunswick, who is here with his wife on an extended visit to rela-tives and old friends, dropped in at this office Friday and renewed his subscrip-tion to THE JOURNAL, on whose list his name has heen since its founding, over a generation ago. While he had no idea lie was being interviewed, a number of interesting statements were secured from him. Mr. Longsdorf was born here in 1839 in a log house on what is now South Church street, the present site of Super-intendent William Long's residence, and went to the front in June, 1861, at Pres-ident Lincoln’s call as a member of Company B, 28th Regiment, Pennsylva-nia Volunteers, commanded by Captain Robert Warden. He was wounded in the knee in the battle of Antietam and, on being released from the hospital, was transferred to the Second United States Artillery, in which he reinlisted at the end of his three-year term and served until peace was restored, a total of five years and eight months. He was one of the “Sunburnt Boys of the Potomac” who took part in the grand review in Washington at the close of the Civil war. He was married in 1869 to Miss Susan Overholt, of Overton, a daughter of Abraham O. Overholt, and lived for some time on C. S. Overholt’s farm at More-wood, to which his name still clings. He and his wife, who are the parents of a son and daughter, now both married and living there, moved to Missouri in 1875 and bought a fine 200-acre farm near I Brunswick which is stil their home. Mr. Longsdorf's crops this year were all good except the apple which, owing to freezing weather in May, is practi-cally a failure. He has a total of 2,700 apple trees, of which twelve acres are of a bearing age. Off this orchard last year a company picked 1,000 barrels, paying him 60 cents a barrel. Neighbors with-out the fruit of their own got about 1,000- bushels of what was left, called seconds, at a dollar a big wagon load; while some 2,000 bushels rotted on the ground as no one could be induced to take them away. GAS ENGINE WRECKED Uniontown "People’s Tribane” Plant Crip-pled by an Exploeion. An explosion wrecked the gas engine j in the "People's Tribune” plant at Un-iontown early last Thursday morning, knocking out the paper’s daily edition, “The Citizen,” for several days. All the windows of the press room were broken. Editor Likins had expert machinists examine the engine later in the day and their conclusion was that the machine was wrecked by dynamite or some other high explosive and that it was not due to gas. Mr. Likins stated that the men quit work at six o’clock the evening be-fore and at 10:30 o’clock the gas was turned off and the place locked for the night. He refused to make any state-ment regarding his suspicions as to the work being done with malicious intent. Ruder Inn Reception. About 400 people of town and vicinity were nicely entertained at the reception j given by Mine Host Ruder at the Ruder Ian Friday and Saturday evenings. There was a plenty of the best things to eat and music by Busko’s orchestra. The house was thrown open and the guests spent considerable time in admiring the arrangements ol this thoroughly up-to-date hotel. Happy Youngsters. Master Claude Felix Harrer celebrated his sixth birthday anniversary at his East Washington street home last Wed-nesday with some twoscore lads from Scottdale, Yonngwood and this place who bore him many kind remembrances and were lunched most sumptuously. The little host took great delight in the lighting of the six tiny candles on the birthday cake. THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1907. MONEY OR DEATH. R. Frediana, a Brownsville Italian Merchant, Gets a Warm Black Hand Letter. fPISTLE IIHED OVER TO THE AUTHORITIES Ten thousand dollars or death is the demand sent to R. Frediana, a Brownsville Italian merchant, in a letter, which bears the earmarks of the Black Hand. Frediana turned the letter over to County Detective Alex Mc- Beth, who took the case up with the police of Cleveland, O., where the let-ter was mailed, and with New York officers. Frediana is directed to take the money to a designated place in New York and give it to a man who will meet him there. If the demand is not complied with within 10 days the letter says death will be the penalty. I Syracuse Lighting Commission Advises Against City * Light Plant. Detailed Reports From Other Cities Show No Saving Over Private Opera-tion— Reports of Success Regarded as Misleading—Important Items of Cost Omitted From Reports. Syracuse has set an example of civic caution In dealing with municipal own-ership which other cities would do well to emulate. Instead of leaving the question of establishing a city lighting plant to be settled by public clamor the council authorized the mayor to appoint a commission of representative citizens to investigate the subject. This commission has just made a unanimous report which covers eight months’ study of the case. During this period experts were examined, and an investigation was made of the results of municipal ownership In twenty-two cities, the members of the commission personally visiting those cities which claimed the best results—viz, Detroit, Columbus, Allegheny, Holyoke, Taun-ton and South Norwalk. The report considers the establishment of n plant for both public and commercial light-ing and for public lighting only. It has not yet been printed In full, but the following extracts are taken from the Syracuse Herald: “The Investment of taxpayers’ mon-ey sufficient for such an undertaking would be justified only after we are satisfied that the laws designed for our protection are Inadequate or In-effectual or that the public service commissioners are not to be relied upon to do their duty. “We find that the borrowing capacity of the city will not at this time permit the construction of an electric light plant of sufficient capacity to furnish light, heat and power for both public and private use. “We advise against the municipal ownership of such plant at this time, even though the bonding capacity of the city were sufficient for that pur-pose. "We advise against the municipal ownership at this time of a plant for the manufacture and distribution of gas for light, heat and power for both public and private use. "It Is the belief of your commission as the result of Its study of municipal plants which light the streets, parks and public buildings only that the city of Syracuse cannot hope at the present time to secure such service through a municipal plant at a true gross cost lower than the current contract rate, making proper allowance for all ele-ments of this cost on n rational busi-ness basis. “This would appear to be a peculiar-ly inopportune time to inaugurate a municipal lighting project owing to the very high rates of wages and prices of materials now prevailing and to the agencies which have reduced and tend to further reduce contract rates for lighting service. “Those cities which established mu-nicipal lighting systems ten to fifteen years ago entered the field when plants could be constructed for very much less than similar equipment would now cost and when the rates maintained by private corporations for arc lighting were 60 per cent to 100 per cent high-er than those existing In Syracuse to-day. When those cities began to sup ply themselves with light a large sav lng over contract rates was easily ef-fected. Today they are not securing the Bervlce much If any cheaper than we are In Syracuse under our contract, and It Is a grave question whether these municipal plants can even equal contract rates of the nenr future. "Is It not, then, the part of wisdom to await developments, meantime en-joying the reasonable rates for street lighting now In force, and If it be-comes advisable and desirable to build a municipal plant at some future time to reap the benefit of Improvements yet to be Introduced and probably of lower cost of construction? "Believing this to be the case, your commission unanimously recommends that the city of Syracuse do not at the present time construct u municipal plant for lighting Its streets, parks and public buildings.” In appendices to the report the com- —‘lesion deals with the balancq. sheets ot tne cities having municipal plants. The scrutiny has not encouraged the commission to believe thnt municipal ownership has been the success that Its advocates have claimed. Joseph iondy’s figures are given in many cases and the figures of the report to show that the Syracusan, like many other municipal ownership advocates, has been misled by surprising book-keeping. Depreciation Is generally charged too low. There Is no sinking fund; there is no provision for Interest or for lost taxes. In a number of ways the books are made to show a profit where there Is no profit. Of Columbus, O., the report snys: “We are led to believe that the true net cost for arc lights to the city of Columbus is probably nearly If not quite as high ns the present price In Syracuse, making a reasonable allow-ance for difference In the market price in fuel. “Your commission has found no in-stance of a city operating a municipal plant tor lighting Its streets and pub-lic buildings exclusively under condi-tions approaching those of Syracuse at a cost per arc light less than the pres-ent rate In Syracuse, in which the methods of accounting cover all Items affecting the true gross cqpt as such items would be covered by a conserva-tive corporation.” A CONFESSION OF FAITH. Americans May Be Trusted to Work Out Political Problems Without Abandoning American Methods. The summary of their views as members of the Civic federation com-mission by Messrs. Clark and Edgar is one of the most striking features of the report of that commission. Repre-sentatives as they are of two of our largest public service corporations, no one can read their statement without feeling that In this case they stand ns representatives of American principles rather than of corporate Interests. Their words are a confession of faith —faith tn American Ideals of business, In American principles of government and In the ability of American man-hood to solve economic problems with-out sacrificing these Ideals aud Institu-tions upon the altar of socialism. Frankly admitting, as they do, the existing abuses of corporate privilege and welcoming intelligent regulation of such Industries, they do not accept Hie dictum of the municipal Socialists that a cure is to be found best or only In laying upon our city governments burdens of administration which they were never designed to bear. They find the sojution of the prob-lem rather In cordial oo-operntlon be-tween the corporations nud the public, n recognition on the part of corpora-tions thnt tbelr prime business Is to serve the public well aud recognition on the part of the people that their re-lations with such corporations must no longer be left In the hands of cheap politicians, but must lie Intrusted to men of honor, strength and breadth, who shall see to It that the rights of the people and of the capital Invested shall alike he conserved. If our citizens ns a whole have a similar faith la American Institutions they will patiently co-operate with the men within and without the corpora-tions who are manfully trying to cure the evils, and they will view with dis-favor the patent cure-alls that are be-ing prescribed by political quacks. HOW TO LOSE MONEY. time If was sold was $25,9107 and the selling price was $74100. The city went Into the business because It was claimed that lights could be run for about two-thirds the price charged by a private company. Although 1,200 candlepower lamps were used and those on ’moonlight schedule, the op-erating cost was found to be $54.50. The addition of Interest, depreciation, etc., would have brought this up to about $100. The present contract price for 2,000 candlepower lamps burning all night Is $65. To Shut Down M. O. Plant. The mayor of Lebanon. TcJun., is au-thority for tho statement that the gen-erating plant of the municipal electric lighting system will be shut down, as a contract for current lias been made with a private company. The system cost $15,000, most of which will now have to be written off the books. & ‘•We Walk On Stars, So Can You ** $4,.oo i Some men plod along through life with their feet aching and paining them all the time. This of course interferes with their work and makes them nervous and ill at ease. A man can’t en-joy life’s pleasures as he should if his feet are worrying him.

Over hall a hundred Styles Moline’* Experience Shows That Mu-nicipal Ownership Is a Good Way. The city clerk of Moline, 111., writes as follows In regard to the electric light plant: “Original cost, $12,000; terms, cash. “The cost of operating the plant while owned by the city Is very hard to determine from the fact that the plant was at that time operated In con-nection with the waterworks. The books show that appropriations were made for both plants under one Item. “The reason for disposing of the plant: The plant being what was then known ns the old United Statos ays tem, which company had gone out of business, hence repairs for our plant could not be obtained, and ns tho same was about woru out the only thing, therefore, the council had to do was the construction of a new plant or to light the city under contract. The latter was adopted for the reason thnt the finances of the city at the time did not allow the construction of a new plant.” According to a local paper, the amount invested In the. htaht at the Remember, every “Patriot” is ^ a Foot Doctor.

PUBLIC MARRIAGE 10 BE ft FEATURE, Monessen and Charleroi will hold a joint bridge opening celebration Sat-urday, November 2. Charleroi is planning for big fire works and an illumi-nation in the evening. Monessen’s plans have not been determined upon definitely. A young man of Monessen, however, has volunteered to be married on the structure that day, provided the committee found a man who was willing to make the ceremony a success. Not to be undone the Charleroi committee, after canvassing the situation, has found an eligible bachelor who has agreed to marry the young woman provided she is acceptable. MISTRESS TOO MUSICAL Chinese Servant, Tired of Hearing Her Sing, Tries Suicide. Queer is the story related of a Chi-nese manservant In London who de-clares that he prefers death to the In-fliction of hearing his mistress, who Is described as a lyric artist, practicing her songs morning, noon and night. And, odd to reinte, tills particular heathen seems to he sincere, ns lie has really made several attempts to put an end to his life and even after his last vain endeavor repeated his resolution to die rather than be con-demned to listen to strains which he regards as anything but dulcet. This eccentric Individual was brought to Europe by the Indy's husband a year ago, but It Is only recently that he developed this Inveterate dislike to her music. Last month, It is said, lie concocted a sort of poison and made himself sick with it, lint the result went no further. Then lie tried opium, hut awoke ap-parently none the worse from a phe-nomenal spell of sleep. As poisons altd drugs were power-less in helping him to carry out his project of shuffling off the mortal coll the Chinese manservant decided on trying more active measures. One morning he took up his position on the balcony of the house inhabited by the family which courts the muses, and after taking a last look, as he imag-ined, he flung himself into space. It so chanced that a motor car was coming along. On the top of this HE FLUNG HIMSELF INTO SPACE, automobile reposed a lot of tires, and, as luck would have it, the Chinese tumbled in among them, and they broke his fall so that he got off with a shock. But such an acrobatic exhibition, even from a representative of the Ce-lestial empire, was not relished by the occupants of tlie motor car, who protested so vigorously against this peculiar addition to their company that the whole party was soon on its way to the police station. The luckless Chinese failed to make himself understood, and something like a deadlock would have been the insult if the lyric artist had not ap-peared to claim him. This was the third time within a mouth that he had tried to put an end to his days, and she insisted on know- .ng the reason. Then the manservant 'mind his tongue and in broken French •eplied: “French tnadame howls too much. I die or hook It." Prompt measures are being taken for the restoration of this hopeless Chi-nese to his native land. Cast Votes In Coffin Boxes. Voting In coffin boxes and stamping the cross on the upturned ends of cof-fins was the manner in which the vot-ers of East Eminence, Ky„ asserted their right of suffrage, the occasion be-ing the Democratic legislative primary, which was held in all precincts of Henry county. At East Eminence the voting place was the undertaker shop conducted by H. Harris. On a child's casket each voter indicated his prefer-ence with a stamp. The candidates were a preacher, doctors and a farm-er. The somber surroundings worked to the advantage of the minister, who won in a walk. He did not solicit a vote.

Before using this remedy I was easily fatigued and over exertion always brought on pains in my back. The benefit I deiived from using Doan's Kidney Pills was very gratify-ing.

It’s The Sharpless Tubular. The Tubular is the cleanest skimming, most durable, easiest to wash separator made. The waist low can saves your back—the enclosed gears can’t pinch your lingers— the self oiling device saves time, uses the oil over and over and prevents dripping on machine or floor. The Tubular skimmed 24 to 9 times cleaner than any other in a National Clean Skimming Contest. The Tubular is a money-maker and a labor saver—it in-creases the butter money 25 to 100 per cent, and lessens the work of handling milk about one-half. Bring your wife in to see it. She’ll say it is the easiest to wash. Let me give you a catalogue with a lot of good things in it. J. J. HITCHAYAIN, East Main Street, MOUNT PLEASANT, PA i THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1907. JOHN L. SHIELDS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER. Subscription, #1,50 a Year, Payable In flduance Mount Pleasant has within its borders a population of over 6,000; while more than double that number of people live immedi-ately around about and for them it is the natural center, as shown by a postoffice distribution of over 16,000. It has both Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio railroad branches and will soon be given the main line of the Coke Region Trolley System. It is completely sur-rounded by coke plants and has in the town Bryce Brothers Company’s big tableware glass factory, the Mount Pleasant Tool Company. Hus-band Company’s planing mill, Galley Bros.’ carriage factory, foundry, brewery, distillery, pop plant, two flouring mills, 13 Protestant and 3 Catholic churches. Mount Pleasant Institute, 2 large Public Schools and 3 Parochial schools. There is coal in abundance at the town’s gates and the"same is true of electricity and natural gas for heat, light and=power. All of which things, when taken In connection with the best water system in Western Pennsylvania, make Mount Pleasant’s numerous manu-facturing sites ideal. THURSDAY, NO CAUSE FOR WORRY. There are doubtless those who do not take kindly to Council’s actions in pass-ing the ordinance opening College ave-nue over Burgess Crosby’s veto. It is their privilege to be opposed just as it is THE JOURNAL’S to approve if for no other reason than that it will mean a big im-provement to the whole town as well as a great convenience to hundreds of good citizens of the section to be di-rectly affected by the opening. This paper, in advocating the passage of the ordinance, was under the im-pression that all residents of the avenue would be assessed benefits; but, it seems that the law confines such assessment to the owners of abutting properties. That is, in this case, the viewers to be appointed by court will have to deal only with the section lying between Standpipe alley and Main street. This means that the borough's bill will be much larger than was at first expected. But, even if the town had all the costs to pay, it will eventually get the money so expended back in taxes from the nat-ural increase in the valuations of College avenue properties. Council claims to be able to meet the expense without any increase of taxes next year and, that be-ing the case, there is no cause for worry. Far from it, when it is remembered that the United Brethren people will now proceed to the erection of a new $30,000 place of worship. Scarcely a day passes without strang-ers on the hunt of houses calling at this office for information that cannot be given them as such places are not to be had. This is a healthy showing, but it also tells of the urgent need of more homes. The opening out of College ave-nue will be an inducement to erect more dwellings in that part of town. Then there are several other streets that should be opened out, too. But, alter all has been said, it would be a graceful act on the part of College ayenue beneficiaries to come forward voluntarily with what they once thought the law would require them to pay. The town would doubtless have little trouble in finding places for the money. LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS. Having secured indictments in the Dauphin county court against the 14 al-leged state capitol looters on 32 charges of conspiracy and false pretense, counsel for the prosecution will insist that the accused be brought to trial promptly. As soon as the last cases were return-ed and the grand jury discharged with the usual thanks of the court one week ago, District Attorney Weiss gave notice that he would call up the cases today to have the court fix the time for the trial. This looks like business and, inciden-tally, it should not be forgotten that As-sistant Attorney General Cunningham, a Mount Pleasant boy, deserves no little credit for the good tight manner in which he drew up the indiciments. GOOD JUDICIAL RULING. Judge O’Connor, of Cambria county, has reiterated his determination to elim-inate the reported influence of whole-salers upon the holders of retail liquor licenses in that county and made a gen-eral ruling with a view of bringing an end to this condition of affairs so evi-dent from time to time. The court stated in the future every applicant for a license will be placed on oath and required to disavow any con-nection, direct or indirect, with any per-son or persons directly or indirectly in-terested in the wholesale business. The court stated that the scramble for business by the Cambria brewers has resulted in such a state of affairs that it will no longer be tolerated, and, in view of the claim that certain retailers on ac-count of financial obligations are practi-cally at the mercy of the wholesalers and brewers and are compelled to patro-nize them or have their places of busi-ness closed up, Judge O'Connor’s ruling is certainly a good one. - October 10. 1907.

Dear Sir: We should like to print your opinion of this guarantee in this paper, where all your neighbors will see it: We'll furnish the paint to paint half the house of any fair man on these terms: He shall paint the other half with what-ever other paint he likes; same painter (any fair man) same way (the way of all fair painters, to make a good job). If our half doesn't take less gallons of paint by one-tenth to seven-tenths, we'll give him the paint. If our half doesn't take less labor by one-tenth to seven-tenths we’ll give him the paint. If our half isn’t sounder three years hence, we'll give him the paint. If our half isn't sounder six years hence, we’ll give him the paint. Any color. We say one-tenth, becauee there are two or three paints with about that dif-ference; we say seven—there are dozens of paints with about that difference—we say one to seven, because there’s a hun-dred that waste one-third of the money paid for both paint and labor. Is there a paint we havent covered? Yours truly, 33 F. W. DEVOE & CO. J. A. Stevenson & Co. sell our paint. Mount Pleasant-Pittsburg Messenger. H. W.

SON’S Opposite SB Farmers & MerchantsBank THe woman’s store 652 Main Street, Mount Pleasant THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1907 QUESTION OF PERSONAL DEVIL Allegheny Lutheran Synod, When Asked to go on Record, Postpones Action. REV. SHIPMAN SAYS HE DOESN’T BELIEVE SO. The Allegheny Synod of the Lutheran Church, meeting at Somerset last week, was asked by Kev. Robert L. Ratterson, who holds the Bible teaches the existence of a personal devil, to go on record as condemning a statement made in a sermon recently by Rev. William A. Shipman, of Johnstown, who, among other things, is alleged to have said: “1 no more believe in fate than 1 do in a personal devil. If I believe in either, 1 hope God will annihilate me, not only for time, but for eternity.” Rev. Mr. Ratterson contended that Rev. Mr. Shipman was guilty of heresy in making such a declaration. A stirring discussion followed in which Rev. Mr. Shipman contended that there was no heresy, while Rev. Mr. Rat-terson insisted on his charge. The synod finally decided to postpone action until the next annual meeting. Great Laughers. The Riant laughers have been men -Shakespeare and Rabelais.

At the workhouse he succeeded, with some difficulty, In interviewing the master. If was after office hours, but as he had journeyed a long way an exception would be made iu his case. Rooks were consulted to ascertain the fate of two boys, John and William Mason, who would now be aged twen-ty and eighteen respectively. Youthful Masons had certainly been in the schools—one was there at the moment, In fact—but none of them answered to the description supplied. The work-house master wns sorry. The records gave no clew. Again the man sought the dark se-clusion of the street. He wandered slowly toward a main thoroughfare and entered the first public house he encountered. He ordered G penny-worth of brandy and drank it at a gulp. Then he lit a pipe and went forth again. “That wns an ugly lookin’ customer,” said an habitue to the barman. “’E ’ad a flee like a fifth act at the Surrey,” agreed the other. If they knew the toast that Jooky Mason had pledged so readily, they would have better grasped the truth of this unfavorable diagnosis of his char-acter. “Ten yenrs’ penal servitude, four years’ police supervision, my wife dead and my children lost, all through n smack on the head given me by Philip ' nson," he communed. "Here’s to getting even with him!” . It was a strange outcome of his long imprisonniqjit that the man should have acquired a fair degree of culture. He wns compelled to learn In jail to a certain extent, and reading soon be-came a pleasure to him. Moreover, he picked up an acquaintance with a smooth spoken mate of the swell mobs-man and long firm order—a dandy who strove to be elegant even in convict garb. Mason’s great strength and in-domitable courage appealed to the more artistic if more effeminate rogue. Once the big man saved his comrade’s life when they were at work in the quarries. The influence was mutual. They vowed lasting friendship. Victor Gre-nier was released six months before Mason, and the latter now crossed the river again to go to an address where he would probably receive some news of his professed ally’s whereabouts. Grenier’s name was Imparted under inviolable confidence as that which he would adopt after his release. His real name, by which he was convicted, was something far less aristocratic. Philip’s driver, being of the peculiar type of Londoner which seems to be created to occupy the dicky of a han-som, did not take his master down Park lane, along Piccadilly, and so to Pail Mall. He loved corners. Give him the remotest chance of following a zigzag course and he would follow it in preference to a route with all the directness of a Roman road. Thus it happened as he spun round Carlos place into Berkeley square he nearly collided with another vehicle which dashed into the square from Da-vies street. Both horses pulled up with a jerk, there was a sharp fusillade of what cabmen call "langwidge,” and the oth-er hansom drove on, having the best of the strategical position by a stolen yard. Philip lifted the trapdoor. “Has he a fare, Wale?” •“Yes, sir, a lydy.” “Oh, leave him alone then! Other-wise I would have liked to see you ride him off at the corner of Bruton Btreet.” Wale, who was choleric, replied with such force that Philip tried to say sternly: “Stop that swearing. Wale.” “Beg pardon, sir, I’m sure, but I wouldn’t ha’ minded if it wasn’t my own old keb. Didn't you spot it?” “You don’t tell me so. How odd!” “And to thlnlj of a brewer's dray-man like that gettin’ ’old of it. Well”— Wale put the lid on in case his em-ployer might hear any more of his sen-timents. Philip, leaning back to laugh, for Wale’s vocabulary was amusing if not fit for publication, suddenly realized the queer trick that even the events in the life of an individual have, of re-peating themselves. In one day, after an interval of many years, he had been suddenly confront-ed by personages connected with the period of his sufferings, with the very garments he wore at that time, with the cab in which he drove from Clerk-enwell to Hatton Garden. Abingdon had dined with him; lsaacstein had sent him a message; his driver even was the cabman who made him a present of 2 shillings, a most fortunate transaction for Wale, as it led to his selection to look after Philip's Loudon stable. All who had befriended the forlorn boy in those early days had benefited to an extraordinary degree. The cof-fee stall keeper who gave him coffee grounds and crusts, the old clothes man who cut down the price of his first outfit, Mrs. Wrlgtey, going hope-lessly to her toil in a Shepherd’s Bush laundry; Mr. Wilson of Grant & Sons, the kindly jeweler of Ludgate Hill, THAT NEW RAILROAD What Director B. F. Overholt, of Scottdale, Has to Say of the Belington-Pittsburg Line. ABOUT ALL THE MONEY NEEDED II SIGHT, B. F. Overholt, of Scottdale, a director of the proposed road from Bel-ington, W. Va., northward toward Pittsburg over the partly built Buckhan-non & Northern, a part of the “Little Kanawha syndicate” property that will he contested for with the present New York Central-Pennsylvania-Balti-more & Ohio owners, is quoted as follows: “We are not especially deterred by any existing financial stringency in this matter, but will go right along with our plans. One concern alone has agreed to supply $6,000,000 to the project. Others will come in with lesser sums. “The Western Maryland will be the natural eastern outlet for our coal. We want a new trunk line to the east; Why, we could have sold our prop-osition to the Baltimore & Ohio at a good profit, but we offered it to the Wabash at a much less figure. This does not mean any unfriendliness, but we want to get our coal to the market and get it there quickly when needed by the consumers.” were eneb sought out nml eltner pnieea in n good business or bounteously re-worded for the services they had ren-dered. O’Brien, of course, was found a sinecure office at the Mary Anson home. As for the doctor, lie owed bis Har-ley street practice to the uillllohulre’s help and patronage. It Is worthy of note that 1'hlllp never wore a watch other than that present-ed to him by the police of the White-chapel division. It wns an ordinary English silver lever, and lie carried it attached to a knotted bootlace. Did he but know how far the his-torical parallel had gone that day—how Joclty Mason had waited for hours out-side ids residence In the hope of seeing him and becoming acquainted with bis appearance—he might have been sur-prised, but he would never have guess-ed the evil that this man would accom-plish, and iu some measure accomplish unconsciously. He was not in his club five minutes when a friend tackled him for a con-cert subscription. “Anson, you are fond of music. Here is a new violinist, a Hungarian, who wants a start. I heard him in Buda-pest last autumn. lie is a good chap. Take some stalls.” Philip glanced at the programme. “Eckstein at the piano, I see. He must he a star. Who is the soprano? I have never heard her name before.” “Miss Evelyn Atherley,” read bis friend over his shoulder. “I don’t know her myself. Dine with me here tomorrow night. We will go and hear the performance afterward." “Can you distribute stalls among your acquaintances?” “My dear fellow, I will be delighted. Sorry I can’t help Jowkaesy a bit my-self.” “You are helping him very well. 1 will take a dozen, two for you and me, ten elsewhere for the claque.” “You are a good chap Hello, there’s Jones! Jones is good for a couple. Don’t forget tomorrow night.” And the good natured enthusiast, who was a terror to many of his friends, ran off to secure nnother vic-tim. rhilip had sent bis hansom home. Shortly before 11 he quitted the club, Intending to walk to Park lane by a circuitous route long enough to con-sume a big cigar. He chanced to pass the ball in which the concert was to take place. A few people were hurrying from the stage door. Evidently a rehearsal had just taken place. A short man with a huge cluster of flowing locks that offered abundant proof of his musical genius ran out with a violin case in his hand. He was about to enter a liansom waiting near the curb, but the driver said: “Engaged, sir.” Tlie man did not seem to understand, so the cabby barred Ills way with the whip and shook his head. Then the stranger rushed to a neighboring cab rank—evidently an excitable gentle-man, with the high strung tempera-ment of art. A lady quitted the hall a few seconds later. “Are you engaged?” Philip heard her ask the cabman. “No, miss.” “Take me to No. 44 Maida Crescent, Regent’s park,” she said. After ar-ranging her skirts daintily she entered the vehicle. “That is odd,” thought Philip, who had witnessed both incidents in the course of a six yards’ walk. He glanced at the cabman and fancied the man gave a peculiar look of intelli-gence toward a couple of fashionably dressed loungers who stood in the >'iadow of the closed public entrance. The two men, without exchanging a Word to Philip’s hearing, went to a brougham standing at some little dis-tance. They entered. The coachman, who received no instructions, drove off in the same direction ns the hansom, and ns if to make sure he was being followed the cab driver turned to look behind him. Once in Naples Philip saw a man stealthily following a woman down an unlighted alley. Without a moment’s hesitation he went after the pnlr and was just in time to prevent the would be assassin from plunging an uplifted stiletto into the woman’s back. The recollection of that little drama flashed into his mind now. There was a sug-gestion of the Neapolitan bravo’s air in the manner in which these men stalk-ed a girl who was quite unaware of their movements. He asked himself why a cabman should refuse one fare and pick up an-other in the same spot. The affair was certainly odd. He would see further into it before he dismissed it from his thoughts. The distance to Maida Cres-cent was not great. While thinking he was acting. He sprang Into the nearest hansom. “A brougham is following a hansom up Langhain place,” he said to the driver. “Keep behind them. If they separate, follow the brougham. When It stops, pull up at the best place to avoid notice.” The man nodded. Nothing surprises a London cabman. Soou the three ve-hicles were gpinniug aloug the Outer circle. It was not a very dark night, the sky being cloudless aud starlit. Away in front at a point where the two lines of lamps curved sharply to the right and vanished amid the trees a row of little red lights showed that the road was UD. !

BALTIMORE OLD HOME WEEK Maryland is sending invitations to her sons and daugh-ters scattered everywhere to come to a grand reunion, and is making extensive preparations to give them when they come, a week of right royal entertainment. New Baltimore, sprung Phoenix-like from the ashes of the fire of 1904, will make of Old Home Week, October 13 to 19, one continued round of patriotic and civic display. There will be an electrical pageant, a magnificent mili-tary and naval display, a gathering of patriotic societies, a parade and ball by the fraternal orders, a big concert, and a night carnival. There will be also a special pilgrimage to Annapolis on “Peggy Stewart Day,” Saturday, October 19, when visit-ors will have an opportunity to inspect the magnificent new buildings of the United States Naval Academy and the re-modled State House, so full of historic associations. The Homecomers will have the advantage of specially low railroad rates. The Pennsylvania Railroad will sell ex-cursion tickets to Baltimore, October 12 to 14, good for return passage until October 21, inclusive, from all stations on its lines north and east of Shrewsbury, Principio, and Port Deposit, at a considerable reduction from the regular fare. Every former Marylander, whose address is known will receive a special invitation, issued by Governor Warfield, and the whole week will thrill with the hospitality for which the Old Line State is so famous.

Hamel. A number from our section are in at-tendance at the State Sunday School Convention at Uniontown. JONES MILLS. The Progressive people held a picnic last Saturday. The cool weather and rain chased them inside the church to eat their dinner. Yet all declare it a success. Potatoes are almost an utter failure for some of our farmers. Some barely get their seed back. Wheat is all sowed. Corn cutting next on the farmer's calendar. The steam thresher is abroad. Quite a number of our people have not yet had their grain threshed. Much continued wet weather has been injurious to the buckwheat. Miss Elizabeth Weaver, who assisted with the house work at the home of Ed. J, Friedline, the past three weeks, re-turned to her home last Sabbath. The Methodist Sunday school will be continued through the winter. Will Ferguson has returned from an extend trip through the Pacific states. Miss Kate Galentine spent a day or two with relatives near here. A very pleasant surprise party visited Bishop and Mrs. David Horner last Sat-urday. It was their birthday, or rather Mrs. Horner's, she being 76 years old that day. The Bishop's anniversary of birth was also celebrated although he was not 81 years of age until the next day. Some 41 relatives and friends gathered to do the highly respected old couple the honor that is their due and were in turn dined on the best that market and garden afford. Their grandchildren were at the head of the nicely arranged affair. INDIAN HEAD. Hon. H. S. Dumbauld and John A. and W.

The happy recipient doesn’t know who the guilty parties are, but they left a note, “Here, grandmother, is your sup-per," which gives her a pretty good idea. Mr. and Mrs. Ira J. McCloy were Un-iontown callers one day last week. They report business very brisk. Our women tolks are quite busily en-gaged economizing the apple crop. Mrs. Miller was first to boil apple butter. K.

Lester Lohr, of GreeDe county, is a pleasant guest at the benevolent home of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Cochran.

John Honse has figured on the finances of Pennsylvania farming and is now of the firm belief that farming can be made to pay largely. Mr. Honse has a far seeing sagacity that tells in any voca-tion. A good proposition utilized will always bring splendid results. Some of our brainy citizens became members of the Socialist Club at Wood-dale last week. Aaron Murray, Socialist candidate for judge of the courts, was the important factor on the platform. We are well pleased to have Royal Mason in our community again. His spotless integrity and loyal patriotism have made for him a place in all our social circles. Prof. W. E. Miller has many good plans and devices which make his school run like an ancient timepiece. All are founded on a sound psychology and every method is of psychic origin. HECLA. Mrs. J. L. Stoufter spent several days of this week with Pittsburg friends. Mrs. Perry Whitehair and guests, Mrs. Whitehair and daughter, Miss Ethyl, of Farmington, W. Va., spent Thursday at the Pittsburg Exposition. Mrs. Lloyd Whetzel and little daugh-ter, Edna, visited Ligonier and Latrobe friends and relatives last week. Miss Emma Henry, of Claridge, spent several days of last week with Hecla friends. “Jack’’ Thompson was around here last week with his shot gun, and sent over 80 dogs to their happy hunting ground. Hecla looks sort of lost now—no doggies around. What few that are left are al-ways careful to put their muzzles on be-fore venturing Aut. Mrs. Thomas Bee spent several days of last week with Mr. and Mrs. Mawson, of Dunbar. Blanche, little daughter of H. E. Bech-tell, is ill with a very severe attack of diphtheria. J. A.

The interment took place Sunday afternoon in the cemetery at Tarr following divine services conducted in the Mt. Lebanon church by Rev. Mr. Stoner, pastor of the Ruffsdale Reformed church. The sur-viving children are: Griffith, of Pitcairn; Mrs. Jordan Abbott, of Wilmerding; Ir-win, of Donora; Elmer, of Braddock; Mrs. Jacob Miller and Mrs. James Baldwin, of this place, and Jacob and Walter at home with their mother.

COLLEGE AVENUE WILL BE OPENED AS ORDINANCE IS PASSED OVER BUR-GESS CROSBY'S VETO. His Honor Defended His Position by Giving the Reasons for His Disap-proval of the Measure which, How-ever, is Put Through by a Vote of Six to Two. A New Permit Ordi-nance Ordered for the Benefit of Would-be Natural Gas Consumers The regular October meeting of Coun-cil, held Monday evening, was full of interest as the ordinance looking to the opening out of College avenue from Standpipe alley to Main street was pass-ed over Burgess Crosby’s veto by a vote of 6 to 2. Tile First and Second ward members voted solidly for the measure, while two of the Third ward represen-tatives voted against it. Mr. Baldwin was the only member absent. Before the vote was taken Burgess Crosby made a speech in defense of his disapproval. He said that he was favor-able to the opening and would have at-tached his signature, could the people of College avenue, who are those most ben-efitted, been made to pay a fair share of the cost. But, when he learned that only the owners of abutting properties could be assessed, he felt that it was his duty to veto the ordinance. Those who favored the measure say the improve-ment is needed and that, while the town will have to pay a much larger sum than was at first supposed, the expense can be met without putting any addi-tional burden on the taxpayers. The ordinance committee was in-structed to draw up a new ordinance re-garding permits for digging up the streets. The present rates are $5 tor a paved street and $2.50 for an unpaved thoroughfare. In deference to citizens who wish to become natural gas con-sumers and who would, in the end, have to pay, it was decided to reduce the charges. THE ANNUAL SESSION Of the West Pennsylvania Eldership of the Churches of God. The annual session of the West Penn-sylvania Eldership of the Churches ot God closed at Brackenridge, Pa., Sunday last. Actions were taken in connection with missionary, educational and pub-lishing interests of the body. The re-port of the treasurer. George W. Stoner, of this place, showed the various funds to be in an excellent condition, having balances on hand after the payment of all assessments and appropriations. Rev. Dr. S. G. Yahn was re-appointed pastor of the local Church of God for the seventeenth time. It may be of in-terest to know that this is the longest pastorate in the history of the Churches of God in the United States. While the time limit was dropped about twenty-five years ago, the average length of a pastorate is still under five years. Dr. Yahn will occupy his pulpit next Sab-bath at 10:30 a. m. and 7 p. m. The following additional appoint-ments will be of interest to JOURNAL readers: Barkeyville, J.’ S. Boyd; Frank-lin, Geo. M. Hulme; Jefferson, E. L. Yahn; Templeton, Henry Armstrong; Ellwood, J. W.

Luke McKittrick, aged 15, and Mary Sant, six years his senior, eloped from Unioutown last Wednesday and were married at Cumberland. All went well until they returned home the next day when the youthful groom was arrested and placed in jail on information made by his father charging incorrigibility. fl&IPvjkTO, 4 . i; WP: ' REV.

Items of Interest ttatnered From Both Mine and Yard. The stockholders of the Keystone Coal and Coke Company will meet at Greens-burg October 22 to vote on a proposition to increase the capital stock of that cor-poration from nothing to $1,500,000. The Connellsville Central Coke Com-pany will soon have 30 new ovens of the Belgian type ready lor fire at its Herbert plant which will eventually have a total of 100 of these ovens; while the Pittsburg and Westmoreland Coal Company has awarded the contract for 1,000 ovens similarly constructed to de-velop its big Washington county coal field at a cost of over $1,000,000. Much is claimed for this type of oven in labor saving and in the quality of coke pro-duced in less time than by the old bee hive process. As noted in THE JOURNAL, Superintendent James S. Mack some time ago built two of this new style of oven at the Frick company's Standard plant, but the officials have not as yet passed judgment on the result. The Jamison Coal & Coke Company has bought 150 acres of the Mellon, So-wosh and McCarthy farms near George station for a site for a big reservoir to supply its five big plants with water. The New Alexandria Coke Company has bought the J. R. Johnston farm near New Alexandria for $27,300. It contains 51 acres of coal and 170 acres of surface adjoining 200 acres of coal the company already owned. The field will be devel-oped at an early date and have extended to it the New Alexandria branch of the Pennsylvania railroad. The H. C. Frick Coke Company is said to have bought out its equal partner in the Hostetter-Connellsville Coke Com-pany, George I. Whitney, paying him $3,500,000. Steps are being taken to prolong the life of the Frick company's Morewood plant many years by opening up the Martin Wertz coal of some 250 acres. To do this there will have to be a new haulage about 13,000 feet in length and heavier engines than those now in use. The Keystone Coal & Coke Company has purchased and taken charge of the Huron Coal Company’s plant at Dun-dale, the terminus of the Alexandria branch of the Pennsylvania railroad, in Salem township, where about 100 miners are employed. The Millwood plant of the Latrobe- Connellsville Coal & Coke Company has resumed operation, following an idle-ness since August while a compressed air system was being installed. Contractor H. F. Stark, of Greensburg, who is putting down two shafts for the Mount Pleasant Coke Company at Car-pentertown to develop the 1,000-acre coal field recently leased from the Thaw estate, will first erect 100 old bee hive ovens and then probably add 300 of the Belgian type. CANDIDATES BUNCHED. Fayette Republican County Chairman Byrne’s New Scheme. Hon. John R. Byrne, Fayette Republi-can county chairman, has bunched his candidates and is leading them on a hand-shaking tour of “Old Fiatt," hav-ing ctft out the time-honored red fire and brass band features. REV. JOHN K. HOWE. With “Johnny" are: John Quincy Van Swearingen, candidate on both the Re-publican and Democratic tickets for judge of Common Pleas court; Judge James Clark Work, candidate for the Orphans' court judgeship; Peter Adol-phus Johns, candidate for sheriff, and Davis W. Henderson, candidate for dis-trict attorney, as well as other candi-dates on the Republican ticket. Baffled East End Robbers. Thieves attempted to break into three East End residences one night last week, but were in each case frightened away before they could effect an entrance. DAVID 10NGSDORE VISITS FRIENDS ID THIS SECTION After Many Years Spent as a Farmer in Missouri. HE IS ACCOMPANIED BY HIS WIPE WHO WAS A DAUGHTER OF THE LATE ABRAM 0. 0VERH0LT. Mr. Longsdorf, Who Went to the Front in ’01 as a Member of Old Company B. 28th Beg-iment, and Served His Country Until Peace was B,estored, Renews His Journal Subscription and Tells of His Ex-perience Out Where Peop'le Have to be Shown. David Longsdorf, a Missouri farmer living near Brunswick, who is here with his wife on an extended visit to rela-tives and old friends, dropped in at this office Friday and renewed his subscrip-tion to THE JOURNAL, on whose list his name has heen since its founding, over a generation ago. While he had no idea lie was being interviewed, a number of interesting statements were secured from him. Mr. Longsdorf was born here in 1839 in a log house on what is now South Church street, the present site of Super-intendent William Long's residence, and went to the front in June, 1861, at Pres-ident Lincoln’s call as a member of Company B, 28th Regiment, Pennsylva-nia Volunteers, commanded by Captain Robert Warden. He was wounded in the knee in the battle of Antietam and, on being released from the hospital, was transferred to the Second United States Artillery, in which he reinlisted at the end of his three-year term and served until peace was restored, a total of five years and eight months. He was one of the “Sunburnt Boys of the Potomac” who took part in the grand review in Washington at the close of the Civil war. He was married in 1869 to Miss Susan Overholt, of Overton, a daughter of Abraham O. Overholt, and lived for some time on C. S. Overholt’s farm at More-wood, to which his name still clings. He and his wife, who are the parents of a son and daughter, now both married and living there, moved to Missouri in 1875 and bought a fine 200-acre farm near I Brunswick which is stil their home. Mr. Longsdorf's crops this year were all good except the apple which, owing to freezing weather in May, is practi-cally a failure. He has a total of 2,700 apple trees, of which twelve acres are of a bearing age. Off this orchard last year a company picked 1,000 barrels, paying him 60 cents a barrel. Neighbors with-out the fruit of their own got about 1,000- bushels of what was left, called seconds, at a dollar a big wagon load; while some 2,000 bushels rotted on the ground as no one could be induced to take them away. GAS ENGINE WRECKED Uniontown "People’s Tribane” Plant Crip-pled by an Exploeion. An explosion wrecked the gas engine j in the "People's Tribune” plant at Un-iontown early last Thursday morning, knocking out the paper’s daily edition, “The Citizen,” for several days. All the windows of the press room were broken. Editor Likins had expert machinists examine the engine later in the day and their conclusion was that the machine was wrecked by dynamite or some other high explosive and that it was not due to gas. Mr. Likins stated that the men quit work at six o’clock the evening be-fore and at 10:30 o’clock the gas was turned off and the place locked for the night. He refused to make any state-ment regarding his suspicions as to the work being done with malicious intent. Ruder Inn Reception. About 400 people of town and vicinity were nicely entertained at the reception j given by Mine Host Ruder at the Ruder Ian Friday and Saturday evenings. There was a plenty of the best things to eat and music by Busko’s orchestra. The house was thrown open and the guests spent considerable time in admiring the arrangements ol this thoroughly up-to-date hotel. Happy Youngsters. Master Claude Felix Harrer celebrated his sixth birthday anniversary at his East Washington street home last Wed-nesday with some twoscore lads from Scottdale, Yonngwood and this place who bore him many kind remembrances and were lunched most sumptuously. The little host took great delight in the lighting of the six tiny candles on the birthday cake. THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1907. MONEY OR DEATH. R. Frediana, a Brownsville Italian Merchant, Gets a Warm Black Hand Letter. fPISTLE IIHED OVER TO THE AUTHORITIES Ten thousand dollars or death is the demand sent to R. Frediana, a Brownsville Italian merchant, in a letter, which bears the earmarks of the Black Hand. Frediana turned the letter over to County Detective Alex Mc- Beth, who took the case up with the police of Cleveland, O., where the let-ter was mailed, and with New York officers. Frediana is directed to take the money to a designated place in New York and give it to a man who will meet him there. If the demand is not complied with within 10 days the letter says death will be the penalty. I Syracuse Lighting Commission Advises Against City * Light Plant. Detailed Reports From Other Cities Show No Saving Over Private Opera-tion— Reports of Success Regarded as Misleading—Important Items of Cost Omitted From Reports. Syracuse has set an example of civic caution In dealing with municipal own-ership which other cities would do well to emulate. Instead of leaving the question of establishing a city lighting plant to be settled by public clamor the council authorized the mayor to appoint a commission of representative citizens to investigate the subject. This commission has just made a unanimous report which covers eight months’ study of the case. During this period experts were examined, and an investigation was made of the results of municipal ownership In twenty-two cities, the members of the commission personally visiting those cities which claimed the best results—viz, Detroit, Columbus, Allegheny, Holyoke, Taun-ton and South Norwalk. The report considers the establishment of n plant for both public and commercial light-ing and for public lighting only. It has not yet been printed In full, but the following extracts are taken from the Syracuse Herald: “The Investment of taxpayers’ mon-ey sufficient for such an undertaking would be justified only after we are satisfied that the laws designed for our protection are Inadequate or In-effectual or that the public service commissioners are not to be relied upon to do their duty. “We find that the borrowing capacity of the city will not at this time permit the construction of an electric light plant of sufficient capacity to furnish light, heat and power for both public and private use. “We advise against the municipal ownership of such plant at this time, even though the bonding capacity of the city were sufficient for that pur-pose. "We advise against the municipal ownership at this time of a plant for the manufacture and distribution of gas for light, heat and power for both public and private use. "It Is the belief of your commission as the result of Its study of municipal plants which light the streets, parks and public buildings only that the city of Syracuse cannot hope at the present time to secure such service through a municipal plant at a true gross cost lower than the current contract rate, making proper allowance for all ele-ments of this cost on n rational busi-ness basis. “This would appear to be a peculiar-ly inopportune time to inaugurate a municipal lighting project owing to the very high rates of wages and prices of materials now prevailing and to the agencies which have reduced and tend to further reduce contract rates for lighting service. “Those cities which established mu-nicipal lighting systems ten to fifteen years ago entered the field when plants could be constructed for very much less than similar equipment would now cost and when the rates maintained by private corporations for arc lighting were 60 per cent to 100 per cent high-er than those existing In Syracuse to-day. When those cities began to sup ply themselves with light a large sav lng over contract rates was easily ef-fected. Today they are not securing the Bervlce much If any cheaper than we are In Syracuse under our contract, and It Is a grave question whether these municipal plants can even equal contract rates of the nenr future. "Is It not, then, the part of wisdom to await developments, meantime en-joying the reasonable rates for street lighting now In force, and If it be-comes advisable and desirable to build a municipal plant at some future time to reap the benefit of Improvements yet to be Introduced and probably of lower cost of construction? "Believing this to be the case, your commission unanimously recommends that the city of Syracuse do not at the present time construct u municipal plant for lighting Its streets, parks and public buildings.” In appendices to the report the com- —‘lesion deals with the balancq. sheets ot tne cities having municipal plants. The scrutiny has not encouraged the commission to believe thnt municipal ownership has been the success that Its advocates have claimed. Joseph iondy’s figures are given in many cases and the figures of the report to show that the Syracusan, like many other municipal ownership advocates, has been misled by surprising book-keeping. Depreciation Is generally charged too low. There Is no sinking fund; there is no provision for Interest or for lost taxes. In a number of ways the books are made to show a profit where there Is no profit. Of Columbus, O., the report snys: “We are led to believe that the true net cost for arc lights to the city of Columbus is probably nearly If not quite as high ns the present price In Syracuse, making a reasonable allow-ance for difference In the market price in fuel. “Your commission has found no in-stance of a city operating a municipal plant tor lighting Its streets and pub-lic buildings exclusively under condi-tions approaching those of Syracuse at a cost per arc light less than the pres-ent rate In Syracuse, in which the methods of accounting cover all Items affecting the true gross cqpt as such items would be covered by a conserva-tive corporation.” A CONFESSION OF FAITH. Americans May Be Trusted to Work Out Political Problems Without Abandoning American Methods. The summary of their views as members of the Civic federation com-mission by Messrs. Clark and Edgar is one of the most striking features of the report of that commission. Repre-sentatives as they are of two of our largest public service corporations, no one can read their statement without feeling that In this case they stand ns representatives of American principles rather than of corporate Interests. Their words are a confession of faith —faith tn American Ideals of business, In American principles of government and In the ability of American man-hood to solve economic problems with-out sacrificing these Ideals aud Institu-tions upon the altar of socialism. Frankly admitting, as they do, the existing abuses of corporate privilege and welcoming intelligent regulation of such Industries, they do not accept Hie dictum of the municipal Socialists that a cure is to be found best or only In laying upon our city governments burdens of administration which they were never designed to bear. They find the sojution of the prob-lem rather In cordial oo-operntlon be-tween the corporations nud the public, n recognition on the part of corpora-tions thnt tbelr prime business Is to serve the public well aud recognition on the part of the people that their re-lations with such corporations must no longer be left In the hands of cheap politicians, but must lie Intrusted to men of honor, strength and breadth, who shall see to It that the rights of the people and of the capital Invested shall alike he conserved. If our citizens ns a whole have a similar faith la American Institutions they will patiently co-operate with the men within and without the corpora-tions who are manfully trying to cure the evils, and they will view with dis-favor the patent cure-alls that are be-ing prescribed by political quacks. HOW TO LOSE MONEY. time If was sold was $25,9107 and the selling price was $74100. The city went Into the business because It was claimed that lights could be run for about two-thirds the price charged by a private company. Although 1,200 candlepower lamps were used and those on ’moonlight schedule, the op-erating cost was found to be $54.50. The addition of Interest, depreciation, etc., would have brought this up to about $100. The present contract price for 2,000 candlepower lamps burning all night Is $65. To Shut Down M. O. Plant. The mayor of Lebanon. TcJun., is au-thority for tho statement that the gen-erating plant of the municipal electric lighting system will be shut down, as a contract for current lias been made with a private company. The system cost $15,000, most of which will now have to be written off the books. & ‘•We Walk On Stars, So Can You ** $4,.oo i Some men plod along through life with their feet aching and paining them all the time.

Over hall a hundred Styles Moline’* Experience Shows That Mu-nicipal Ownership Is a Good Way. The city clerk of Moline, 111., writes as follows In regard to the electric light plant: “Original cost, $12,000; terms, cash. “The cost of operating the plant while owned by the city Is very hard to determine from the fact that the plant was at that time operated In con-nection with the waterworks. The books show that appropriations were made for both plants under one Item. “The reason for disposing of the plant: The plant being what was then known ns the old United Statos ays tem, which company had gone out of business, hence repairs for our plant could not be obtained, and ns tho same was about woru out the only thing, therefore, the council had to do was the construction of a new plant or to light the city under contract. The latter was adopted for the reason thnt the finances of the city at the time did not allow the construction of a new plant.” According to a local paper, the amount invested In the. htaht at the Remember, every “Patriot” is ^ a Foot Doctor.

PUBLIC MARRIAGE 10 BE ft FEATURE, Monessen and Charleroi will hold a joint bridge opening celebration Sat-urday, November 2. Charleroi is planning for big fire works and an illumi-nation in the evening. Monessen’s plans have not been determined upon definitely. A young man of Monessen, however, has volunteered to be married on the structure that day, provided the committee found a man who was willing to make the ceremony a success. Not to be undone the Charleroi committee, after canvassing the situation, has found an eligible bachelor who has agreed to marry the young woman provided she is acceptable. MISTRESS TOO MUSICAL Chinese Servant, Tired of Hearing Her Sing, Tries Suicide. Queer is the story related of a Chi-nese manservant In London who de-clares that he prefers death to the In-fliction of hearing his mistress, who Is described as a lyric artist, practicing her songs morning, noon and night. And, odd to reinte, tills particular heathen seems to he sincere, ns lie has really made several attempts to put an end to his life and even after his last vain endeavor repeated his resolution to die rather than be con-demned to listen to strains which he regards as anything but dulcet. This eccentric Individual was brought to Europe by the Indy's husband a year ago, but It Is only recently that he developed this Inveterate dislike to her music. Last month, It is said, lie concocted a sort of poison and made himself sick with it, lint the result went no further. Then lie tried opium, hut awoke ap-parently none the worse from a phe-nomenal spell of sleep. As poisons altd drugs were power-less in helping him to carry out his project of shuffling off the mortal coll the Chinese manservant decided on trying more active measures. One morning he took up his position on the balcony of the house inhabited by the family which courts the muses, and after taking a last look, as he imag-ined, he flung himself into space. It so chanced that a motor car was coming along. On the top of this HE FLUNG HIMSELF INTO SPACE, automobile reposed a lot of tires, and, as luck would have it, the Chinese tumbled in among them, and they broke his fall so that he got off with a shock. But such an acrobatic exhibition, even from a representative of the Ce-lestial empire, was not relished by the occupants of tlie motor car, who protested so vigorously against this peculiar addition to their company that the whole party was soon on its way to the police station. The luckless Chinese failed to make himself understood, and something like a deadlock would have been the insult if the lyric artist had not ap-peared to claim him. This was the third time within a mouth that he had tried to put an end to his days, and she insisted on know- .ng the reason. Then the manservant 'mind his tongue and in broken French •eplied: “French tnadame howls too much. I die or hook It." Prompt measures are being taken for the restoration of this hopeless Chi-nese to his native land. Cast Votes In Coffin Boxes. Voting In coffin boxes and stamping the cross on the upturned ends of cof-fins was the manner in which the vot-ers of East Eminence, Ky„ asserted their right of suffrage, the occasion be-ing the Democratic legislative primary, which was held in all precincts of Henry county. At East Eminence the voting place was the undertaker shop conducted by H. Harris. On a child's casket each voter indicated his prefer-ence with a stamp. The candidates were a preacher, doctors and a farm-er. The somber surroundings worked to the advantage of the minister, who won in a walk. He did not solicit a vote.

It’s The Sharpless Tubular. The Tubular is the cleanest skimming, most durable, easiest to wash separator made. The waist low can saves your back—the enclosed gears can’t pinch your lingers— the self oiling device saves time, uses the oil over and over and prevents dripping on machine or floor. The Tubular skimmed 24 to 9 times cleaner than any other in a National Clean Skimming Contest. The Tubular is a money-maker and a labor saver—it in-creases the butter money 25 to 100 per cent, and lessens the work of handling milk about one-half. Bring your wife in to see it. She’ll say it is the easiest to wash. Let me give you a catalogue with a lot of good things in it. J. J. HITCHAYAIN, East Main Street, MOUNT PLEASANT, PA i THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1907. JOHN L. SHIELDS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER. Subscription, #1,50 a Year, Payable In flduance Mount Pleasant has within its borders a population of over 6,000; while more than double that number of people live immedi-ately around about and for them it is the natural center, as shown by a postoffice distribution of over 16,000. It has both Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio railroad branches and will soon be given the main line of the Coke Region Trolley System. It is completely sur-rounded by coke plants and has in the town Bryce Brothers Company’s big tableware glass factory, the Mount Pleasant Tool Company. Hus-band Company’s planing mill, Galley Bros.’ carriage factory, foundry, brewery, distillery, pop plant, two flouring mills, 13 Protestant and 3 Catholic churches. Mount Pleasant Institute, 2 large Public Schools and 3 Parochial schools. There is coal in abundance at the town’s gates and the"same is true of electricity and natural gas for heat, light and=power. All of which things, when taken In connection with the best water system in Western Pennsylvania, make Mount Pleasant’s numerous manu-facturing sites ideal. THURSDAY, NO CAUSE FOR WORRY. There are doubtless those who do not take kindly to Council’s actions in pass-ing the ordinance opening College ave-nue over Burgess Crosby’s veto. It is their privilege to be opposed just as it is THE JOURNAL’S to approve if for no other reason than that it will mean a big im-provement to the whole town as well as a great convenience to hundreds of good citizens of the section to be di-rectly affected by the opening. This paper, in advocating the passage of the ordinance, was under the im-pression that all residents of the avenue would be assessed benefits; but, it seems that the law confines such assessment to the owners of abutting properties. That is, in this case, the viewers to be appointed by court will have to deal only with the section lying between Standpipe alley and Main street. This means that the borough's bill will be much larger than was at first expected. But, even if the town had all the costs to pay, it will eventually get the money so expended back in taxes from the nat-ural increase in the valuations of College avenue properties. Council claims to be able to meet the expense without any increase of taxes next year and, that be-ing the case, there is no cause for worry. Far from it, when it is remembered that the United Brethren people will now proceed to the erection of a new $30,000 place of worship. Scarcely a day passes without strang-ers on the hunt of houses calling at this office for information that cannot be given them as such places are not to be had. This is a healthy showing, but it also tells of the urgent need of more homes. The opening out of College ave-nue will be an inducement to erect more dwellings in that part of town. Then there are several other streets that should be opened out, too. But, alter all has been said, it would be a graceful act on the part of College ayenue beneficiaries to come forward voluntarily with what they once thought the law would require them to pay. The town would doubtless have little trouble in finding places for the money. LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS. Having secured indictments in the Dauphin county court against the 14 al-leged state capitol looters on 32 charges of conspiracy and false pretense, counsel for the prosecution will insist that the accused be brought to trial promptly. As soon as the last cases were return-ed and the grand jury discharged with the usual thanks of the court one week ago, District Attorney Weiss gave notice that he would call up the cases today to have the court fix the time for the trial. This looks like business and, inciden-tally, it should not be forgotten that As-sistant Attorney General Cunningham, a Mount Pleasant boy, deserves no little credit for the good tight manner in which he drew up the indiciments. GOOD JUDICIAL RULING. Judge O’Connor, of Cambria county, has reiterated his determination to elim-inate the reported influence of whole-salers upon the holders of retail liquor licenses in that county and made a gen-eral ruling with a view of bringing an end to this condition of affairs so evi-dent from time to time. The court stated in the future every applicant for a license will be placed on oath and required to disavow any con-nection, direct or indirect, with any per-son or persons directly or indirectly in-terested in the wholesale business. The court stated that the scramble for business by the Cambria brewers has resulted in such a state of affairs that it will no longer be tolerated, and, in view of the claim that certain retailers on ac-count of financial obligations are practi-cally at the mercy of the wholesalers and brewers and are compelled to patro-nize them or have their places of busi-ness closed up, Judge O'Connor’s ruling is certainly a good one. - October 10. 1907.

Dear Sir: We should like to print your opinion of this guarantee in this paper, where all your neighbors will see it: We'll furnish the paint to paint half the house of any fair man on these terms: He shall paint the other half with what-ever other paint he likes; same painter (any fair man) same way (the way of all fair painters, to make a good job). If our half doesn't take less gallons of paint by one-tenth to seven-tenths, we'll give him the paint. If our half doesn't take less labor by one-tenth to seven-tenths we’ll give him the paint. If our half isn’t sounder three years hence, we'll give him the paint. If our half isn't sounder six years hence, we’ll give him the paint. Any color. We say one-tenth, becauee there are two or three paints with about that dif-ference; we say seven—there are dozens of paints with about that difference—we say one to seven, because there’s a hun-dred that waste one-third of the money paid for both paint and labor. Is there a paint we havent covered? Yours truly, 33 F. W. DEVOE & CO. J. A. Stevenson & Co. sell our paint. Mount Pleasant-Pittsburg Messenger. H. W.

SON’S Opposite SB Farmers & MerchantsBank THe woman’s store 652 Main Street, Mount Pleasant THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1907 QUESTION OF PERSONAL DEVIL Allegheny Lutheran Synod, When Asked to go on Record, Postpones Action. REV. SHIPMAN SAYS HE DOESN’T BELIEVE SO. The Allegheny Synod of the Lutheran Church, meeting at Somerset last week, was asked by Kev. Robert L. Ratterson, who holds the Bible teaches the existence of a personal devil, to go on record as condemning a statement made in a sermon recently by Rev. William A. Shipman, of Johnstown, who, among other things, is alleged to have said: “1 no more believe in fate than 1 do in a personal devil. If I believe in either, 1 hope God will annihilate me, not only for time, but for eternity.” Rev. Mr. Ratterson contended that Rev. Mr. Shipman was guilty of heresy in making such a declaration. A stirring discussion followed in which Rev. Mr. Shipman contended that there was no heresy, while Rev. Mr. Rat-terson insisted on his charge. The synod finally decided to postpone action until the next annual meeting. Great Laughers. The Riant laughers have been men -Shakespeare and Rabelais.

At the workhouse he succeeded, with some difficulty, In interviewing the master. If was after office hours, but as he had journeyed a long way an exception would be made iu his case. Rooks were consulted to ascertain the fate of two boys, John and William Mason, who would now be aged twen-ty and eighteen respectively. Youthful Masons had certainly been in the schools—one was there at the moment, In fact—but none of them answered to the description supplied. The work-house master wns sorry. The records gave no clew. Again the man sought the dark se-clusion of the street. He wandered slowly toward a main thoroughfare and entered the first public house he encountered. He ordered G penny-worth of brandy and drank it at a gulp. Then he lit a pipe and went forth again. “That wns an ugly lookin’ customer,” said an habitue to the barman. “’E ’ad a flee like a fifth act at the Surrey,” agreed the other. If they knew the toast that Jooky Mason had pledged so readily, they would have better grasped the truth of this unfavorable diagnosis of his char-acter. “Ten yenrs’ penal servitude, four years’ police supervision, my wife dead and my children lost, all through n smack on the head given me by Philip ' nson," he communed. "Here’s to getting even with him!” . It was a strange outcome of his long imprisonniqjit that the man should have acquired a fair degree of culture. He wns compelled to learn In jail to a certain extent, and reading soon be-came a pleasure to him. Moreover, he picked up an acquaintance with a smooth spoken mate of the swell mobs-man and long firm order—a dandy who strove to be elegant even in convict garb. Mason’s great strength and in-domitable courage appealed to the more artistic if more effeminate rogue. Once the big man saved his comrade’s life when they were at work in the quarries. The influence was mutual. They vowed lasting friendship. Victor Gre-nier was released six months before Mason, and the latter now crossed the river again to go to an address where he would probably receive some news of his professed ally’s whereabouts. Grenier’s name was Imparted under inviolable confidence as that which he would adopt after his release. His real name, by which he was convicted, was something far less aristocratic. Philip’s driver, being of the peculiar type of Londoner which seems to be created to occupy the dicky of a han-som, did not take his master down Park lane, along Piccadilly, and so to Pail Mall. He loved corners. Give him the remotest chance of following a zigzag course and he would follow it in preference to a route with all the directness of a Roman road. Thus it happened as he spun round Carlos place into Berkeley square he nearly collided with another vehicle which dashed into the square from Da-vies street. Both horses pulled up with a jerk, there was a sharp fusillade of what cabmen call "langwidge,” and the oth-er hansom drove on, having the best of the strategical position by a stolen yard. Philip lifted the trapdoor. “Has he a fare, Wale?” •“Yes, sir, a lydy.” “Oh, leave him alone then! Other-wise I would have liked to see you ride him off at the corner of Bruton Btreet.” Wale, who was choleric, replied with such force that Philip tried to say sternly: “Stop that swearing. Wale.” “Beg pardon, sir, I’m sure, but I wouldn’t ha’ minded if it wasn’t my own old keb. Didn't you spot it?” “You don’t tell me so. How odd!” “And to thlnlj of a brewer's dray-man like that gettin’ ’old of it. Well”— Wale put the lid on in case his em-ployer might hear any more of his sen-timents. Philip, leaning back to laugh, for Wale’s vocabulary was amusing if not fit for publication, suddenly realized the queer trick that even the events in the life of an individual have, of re-peating themselves. In one day, after an interval of many years, he had been suddenly confront-ed by personages connected with the period of his sufferings, with the very garments he wore at that time, with the cab in which he drove from Clerk-enwell to Hatton Garden. Abingdon had dined with him; lsaacstein had sent him a message; his driver even was the cabman who made him a present of 2 shillings, a most fortunate transaction for Wale, as it led to his selection to look after Philip's Loudon stable. All who had befriended the forlorn boy in those early days had benefited to an extraordinary degree. The cof-fee stall keeper who gave him coffee grounds and crusts, the old clothes man who cut down the price of his first outfit, Mrs. Wrlgtey, going hope-lessly to her toil in a Shepherd’s Bush laundry; Mr. Wilson of Grant & Sons, the kindly jeweler of Ludgate Hill, THAT NEW RAILROAD What Director B. F. Overholt, of Scottdale, Has to Say of the Belington-Pittsburg Line. ABOUT ALL THE MONEY NEEDED II SIGHT, B. F. Overholt, of Scottdale, a director of the proposed road from Bel-ington, W. Va., northward toward Pittsburg over the partly built Buckhan-non & Northern, a part of the “Little Kanawha syndicate” property that will he contested for with the present New York Central-Pennsylvania-Balti-more & Ohio owners, is quoted as follows: “We are not especially deterred by any existing financial stringency in this matter, but will go right along with our plans. One concern alone has agreed to supply $6,000,000 to the project. Others will come in with lesser sums. “The Western Maryland will be the natural eastern outlet for our coal. We want a new trunk line to the east; Why, we could have sold our prop-osition to the Baltimore & Ohio at a good profit, but we offered it to the Wabash at a much less figure. This does not mean any unfriendliness, but we want to get our coal to the market and get it there quickly when needed by the consumers.” were eneb sought out nml eltner pnieea in n good business or bounteously re-worded for the services they had ren-dered. O’Brien, of course, was found a sinecure office at the Mary Anson home. As for the doctor, lie owed bis Har-ley street practice to the uillllohulre’s help and patronage. It Is worthy of note that 1'hlllp never wore a watch other than that present-ed to him by the police of the White-chapel division. It wns an ordinary English silver lever, and lie carried it attached to a knotted bootlace. Did he but know how far the his-torical parallel had gone that day—how Joclty Mason had waited for hours out-side ids residence In the hope of seeing him and becoming acquainted with bis appearance—he might have been sur-prised, but he would never have guess-ed the evil that this man would accom-plish, and iu some measure accomplish unconsciously. He was not in his club five minutes when a friend tackled him for a con-cert subscription. “Anson, you are fond of music. Here is a new violinist, a Hungarian, who wants a start. I heard him in Buda-pest last autumn. lie is a good chap. Take some stalls.” Philip glanced at the programme. “Eckstein at the piano, I see. He must he a star. Who is the soprano? I have never heard her name before.” “Miss Evelyn Atherley,” read bis friend over his shoulder. “I don’t know her myself. Dine with me here tomorrow night. We will go and hear the performance afterward." “Can you distribute stalls among your acquaintances?” “My dear fellow, I will be delighted. Sorry I can’t help Jowkaesy a bit my-self.” “You are helping him very well. 1 will take a dozen, two for you and me, ten elsewhere for the claque.” “You are a good chap Hello, there’s Jones! Jones is good for a couple. Don’t forget tomorrow night.” And the good natured enthusiast, who was a terror to many of his friends, ran off to secure nnother vic-tim. rhilip had sent bis hansom home. Shortly before 11 he quitted the club, Intending to walk to Park lane by a circuitous route long enough to con-sume a big cigar. He chanced to pass the ball in which the concert was to take place. A few people were hurrying from the stage door. Evidently a rehearsal had just taken place. A short man with a huge cluster of flowing locks that offered abundant proof of his musical genius ran out with a violin case in his hand. He was about to enter a liansom waiting near the curb, but the driver said: “Engaged, sir.” Tlie man did not seem to understand, so the cabby barred Ills way with the whip and shook his head. Then the stranger rushed to a neighboring cab rank—evidently an excitable gentle-man, with the high strung tempera-ment of art. A lady quitted the hall a few seconds later. “Are you engaged?” Philip heard her ask the cabman. “No, miss.” “Take me to No. 44 Maida Crescent, Regent’s park,” she said. After ar-ranging her skirts daintily she entered the vehicle. “That is odd,” thought Philip, who had witnessed both incidents in the course of a six yards’ walk. He glanced at the cabman and fancied the man gave a peculiar look of intelli-gence toward a couple of fashionably dressed loungers who stood in the >'iadow of the closed public entrance. The two men, without exchanging a Word to Philip’s hearing, went to a brougham standing at some little dis-tance. They entered. The coachman, who received no instructions, drove off in the same direction ns the hansom, and ns if to make sure he was being followed the cab driver turned to look behind him. Once in Naples Philip saw a man stealthily following a woman down an unlighted alley. Without a moment’s hesitation he went after the pnlr and was just in time to prevent the would be assassin from plunging an uplifted stiletto into the woman’s back. The recollection of that little drama flashed into his mind now. There was a sug-gestion of the Neapolitan bravo’s air in the manner in which these men stalk-ed a girl who was quite unaware of their movements. He asked himself why a cabman should refuse one fare and pick up an-other in the same spot. The affair was certainly odd. He would see further into it before he dismissed it from his thoughts. The distance to Maida Cres-cent was not great. While thinking he was acting. He sprang Into the nearest hansom. “A brougham is following a hansom up Langhain place,” he said to the driver. “Keep behind them. If they separate, follow the brougham. When It stops, pull up at the best place to avoid notice.” The man nodded. Nothing surprises a London cabman. Soou the three ve-hicles were gpinniug aloug the Outer circle. It was not a very dark night, the sky being cloudless aud starlit. Away in front at a point where the two lines of lamps curved sharply to the right and vanished amid the trees a row of little red lights showed that the road was UD. !

BALTIMORE OLD HOME WEEK Maryland is sending invitations to her sons and daugh-ters scattered everywhere to come to a grand reunion, and is making extensive preparations to give them when they come, a week of right royal entertainment. New Baltimore, sprung Phoenix-like from the ashes of the fire of 1904, will make of Old Home Week, October 13 to 19, one continued round of patriotic and civic display. There will be an electrical pageant, a magnificent mili-tary and naval display, a gathering of patriotic societies, a parade and ball by the fraternal orders, a big concert, and a night carnival. There will be also a special pilgrimage to Annapolis on “Peggy Stewart Day,” Saturday, October 19, when visit-ors will have an opportunity to inspect the magnificent new buildings of the United States Naval Academy and the re-modled State House, so full of historic associations. The Homecomers will have the advantage of specially low railroad rates. The Pennsylvania Railroad will sell ex-cursion tickets to Baltimore, October 12 to 14, good for return passage until October 21, inclusive, from all stations on its lines north and east of Shrewsbury, Principio, and Port Deposit, at a considerable reduction from the regular fare. Every former Marylander, whose address is known will receive a special invitation, issued by Governor Warfield, and the whole week will thrill with the hospitality for which the Old Line State is so famous.

The cool weather and rain chased them inside the church to eat their dinner. Yet all declare it a success. Potatoes are almost an utter failure for some of our farmers. Some barely get their seed back. Wheat is all sowed. Corn cutting next on the farmer's calendar. The steam thresher is abroad. Quite a number of our people have not yet had their grain threshed. Much continued wet weather has been injurious to the buckwheat. Miss Elizabeth Weaver, who assisted with the house work at the home of Ed. J, Friedline, the past three weeks, re-turned to her home last Sabbath. The Methodist Sunday school will be continued through the winter. Will Ferguson has returned from an extend trip through the Pacific states. Miss Kate Galentine spent a day or two with relatives near here. A very pleasant surprise party visited Bishop and Mrs. David Horner last Sat-urday. It was their birthday, or rather Mrs. Horner's, she being 76 years old that day. The Bishop's anniversary of birth was also celebrated although he was not 81 years of age until the next day. Some 41 relatives and friends gathered to do the highly respected old couple the honor that is their due and were in turn dined on the best that market and garden afford. Their grandchildren were at the head of the nicely arranged affair. INDIAN HEAD. Hon. H. S. Dumbauld and John A. and W.

John Honse has figured on the finances of Pennsylvania farming and is now of the firm belief that farming can be made to pay largely. Mr. Honse has a far seeing sagacity that tells in any voca-tion. A good proposition utilized will always bring splendid results. Some of our brainy citizens became members of the Socialist Club at Wood-dale last week. Aaron Murray, Socialist candidate for judge of the courts, was the important factor on the platform. We are well pleased to have Royal Mason in our community again. His spotless integrity and loyal patriotism have made for him a place in all our social circles. Prof. W. E.
