' 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

Luke McKittrick, aged 15, and Mary
Sant, six years his senior, eloped from
Unioutown last Wednesday and were

ENJOYABLE MUSICAL RECITAL
Given at the Institute Saturday Evening by Misses
French and Hutchinson.
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. The program which delighted the
large attendance was:
CLARA MABEL HUTCHINSON, PIANO.
ANGELINA FRENCH, VOICE.
Cantique d’Amour ‘ Liszt
Sonata Beethoven
Adagio Sostenuto
Allegretto

COKE AND COAL.
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.

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.

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

“The Shoes That Do Nol Hurl”
“Patriot” shoes are made in
all the popular leathers over foot

and sewed with silk. They have
an inner sole of ground cork that
keeps out dampness. “Patriots”
cost no more than the hurt kind.
Being Goodyear Welts they have
no wax, tacks or threads inside
to burn and blister the feet.
There is a shape, a fit and a

that the “Patriot” is honestly

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

was adopted for the reason thnt the
finances of the city at the time did not
allow the construction of a new plant.”

Monessen and Charleroi Will Hold

on Saturday, November 2.
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.

There is a Heap of Solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon a Well-
Earned Reputation.
For months Pennsylvania readers have
seen the constant expression of praise
for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read about
the good work they have done in this
locality. Not auother remedy ever pro
dnoed such convincing proof of merit.
Mrs. Anna Hover, of 84 Croton Ave.,
New Castle, Pa , says; “I gave for
publication in 1897 a testimonial about
Doan’s Kidney Pills. 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.
I think just as much of this rem-edy
today as I did at the time I recom-mended
it before, and I have heard of
others who have been benefitted in the
same way.”

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

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.

■(Importance
of prompt Deposits.
The importance of de-positing
your checks
promptly and putting in
the’Bank all the cash you
do not need for immedi-ate
use is apparent.
Losses are sometimes
caused by carrying checks
too long; and holding over
a large amount of curren-cy
is a temptation to bur-glars.
The prudent thing to
do is to open an account
with The First National

promptly.

Letter to Eugene Warden.
Mount Pleasant, Pa.
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,

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

regard Cervantes and Sterne as laugh-ers.
They are smllers. They are not
jolly roarers and guffawers. They are
not fat, rotund, jovial hilarities. They
are thin, lean, Ironic smiles. A smile
Is a diluted laugh. Sterne Is a di-luted
Rabelais.—James Douglas, in

[CONTINUED.]
With n grunt of acknowledgment the
inquirer passed Into the street. He
gave an eye to t lie public house, but
resolutely quickened his pace. 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.

“There are pleasures iu life that
money cannot buy,” said the cheery
person.
“Yes,” answered the man who wor-ries.
“There are such pleasures, hut
as a rule the bill collectors keep butt-ing
in so that you cau’t enjoy them.”

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.
For exact rates, conditions of tickets, and train ser-vice,
consult nearest Ticket Agents.
