THt TRIALS AND
TRIBULATIONS OF
. STORE MANAGER
Whose Residence Refuses to
Stay on Top of Ground.
THE VICTIM IS T. 0. ANDERSON
WHO HAS CHARGE OF THE MART AT
RAINEY'S ACME COKE WORKS.
The House was Built on Land
Bought From the H. C. Frick Com-pany
and When Superintendent W.
S. Bamsay Took Morewood Coal
Out up That Way the Domicile
Tried to Follow and, while Kejiairs
Were Made Since, Still Shows a
Weakness for the Mine.
Several years ago when the Rainey
coke people were fortunate enough to
get T. O. Anderson to manage the store
at their Acme plant, they bought surface
from the H. C. Frick Coke Company and
erected him thereon a nice residence, in
which he, his wife and family found
every comfort of the modern home.
That is to say, everything was lovely
until after Superintendent W. S. Ramsay
had sent his diggers up that way to get
coal tor the Morewood ovens. The min-ers
made a clean sweep from the prop-erty
line south, letting the roof fall in
behind them, and it wasn’t long until
the surface began to sink and with it the
house.
First the plastering began to crack and
the doors wouldn’t work worth a cent
as the superstructure followed the foun-dations
on their downward course. Then
one corner of the thing got in a hurry,
the result being a tilt that was anything
but pleasant for the occupant. Still Mr.
Anderson and his people stuck to their
new home until the ground was well up
the first story. Then they moved out
and came to town to let things settle.
That was a year ago.
Some two months ago the company,
wishing to have Mr. Anderson on the
ground all the time, had the house jack-ed
up, new foundation walls built,celler
cemented, plastering rcsored and, in fact,
with the addition of paper and paint
made the house look just as good as ever.
Mr. Anderson moved his family back
several weeks ago and again the goose
hung high—for a few days. Then the
old troubles returned. The cellar got
cracks in it and so did the walls; like-wise
the plastering and the pretty new
wall papers. None of these pesky things
is as bad as in the first instance, but as a
combination of worries they are in the
A class all right. Of course, there is no
means of proving it, but the Rainey
people have a suspicion that "Uncle
Bill" Ramsay is at the bottom of their
afflictions.
REV. HOWE TO RETURN
And Then be Given a Long Vacation by His
Methodist Episcopal People.
The many friends of Rev. John K.
Howe, the pastor of the Methodist Epis-copal
church, who, with Delegate O. C.
Galley, left Tuesday for Pittsburg to at-tend
the annual session of his confer-ence,
will be pleased to learn that he
will be returned at the unanimous re-quest
of the official board.
The reverend gentleman has had con-siderable
trouble with his throat and
upon his reappointment his people will
give him a three months' vacation, dur-ing
which time a supply will look after
their spiritual wants.
It is Rev. Howe's intention to spend
his vacation in Colorado where it is
hoped the climate will completely re-store
the vocal chords, enabling him to
resume his work in the ministry. Should
his voice continue husky he will resign
and take up commercial employment,
for which he is fortunately equally well
fitted, not only being an excellent ac-countant
but a practical glass worker.
Home Talent Minstrels.
The Literary and Dramatic Society of
St. Joseph Church will, under the direc-tion
of Julius Reichman, will give a min-strel
performance in the St. Joseph Hall

THE MOUNT TLEAPAN1 JOURNAL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1007.
A LIVE
QUESTION
It is That Whether or Not a Brewing
Company Has Right to Make
and Sell Ice.
mOBIMML TOOD ASKED TO DECIDE.
Does a brewing company have the right to make and sell ice? That is
the question which Attorney General Todd was on last Tuesday asked to de-cide.
Mr. Todd withheld his decision. The question was raised by the
Crystal Valley Ice Company, of Charleroi, which made application to the
attorney general recently for a writ of quo warranto to compel the Independ-ent
Brewing Company, of Pittsburg, to show by what authority it makes
and sells ice.
At the hearing D. A. McCloskey, of Charleroi, argued that under its
charter the brewing company had no right to make and sell ice, and that in
engaging in the business the brewing company was infringing upon the ice
company’s rights. A. M. Neeper, of Pittsburg, argued that the brewing com-pany
had the right under its charter to engage in this business and that this
right could not be taken away from his client.

Independence Hall Reproduced.
Pennsylvania was among the largest
of the contributors to the Jamestown
exposition, appropriating $ 100,000 for
participation, and it was decided that
this should be expended rather in a
historical exhibit than in an exhibit of
her resources.
Her state building is accordingly a
reproduction of Independence Hall,
Philadelphia, reduced one-quarter and
finished within in the main according
to the old pattern. Some few changes
were necessary upstairs to meet the
exposition requirements, blit the essen-tial
features, large apartments and
halls and stairways, are exact copies.
The building cost $30,000, and in it is
much fine furniture of the old pattern.
A clock and bell were placed in the
belfry at a cost of $8,000. The bell
weighs 1,500 pounds and is four feet
at the spread of base. The clock
strikes the hours and can be seen and
heard in all parts of the exposition
grounds.
Some fine old portraits are shown in
tlie Pennsylvania building of Historic
scenes and personages. There is a
large portrait of Washington, one of
Gilbert Stuart’s, a private loan, and
several others from the stateliouse in
Harrisburg. The replica of the room
in which tlie Declaration of Independ
enee was signed Inis Hs walls covered
with copies of portraits of all the
signers. A picture in the central hall
shows the interior of Betsy Boss’
house, with Betsy and the flag com-mission
examining the finished flag.
Tlie committee consisted of George
Washington, Robert Morris and George
Boss. Among the wall decorations are
the flags of the various cities of the

special opening reception to introduce you to them.
You’re invited; and when you come you’ll meet a
lot of the finest clothes you ever saw. We feel
that our good friends and our good clothes ought
to knovv each other better.
These are Hart, Schaffner & Marx clothes; and
you can put it down as a fact that better clothes, more
stylish, more perfectly tailored, never came from the hand
of a tailor.
The new suits are in a number of very smart mod-els,
and the patterns are varied enough to suit every
taste—greys, browns, tans, in stripes, plaids and checks.
The new Fall overcoats are certainly very snappy;
you’ll find your kind. It is hardly necessary to say that
Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes are always all-wool; you
get no cotton mixture stuff under that name.
Other departments are full also of seasonable goods;
hats on the latest blocks; shirts and neckwear like a
regular flower-garden of color and rich design.

MURDER
RECALLED.
Story That the Two Men Convicted
of Having Blown up Samuel
Ferguson Were Innocent.
ONE EXECUTED 110 THE OTHER IH PRISON.
There is now being told an interesting story relating to the conviction
and hanging of Milovar Patrovicaand the imprisonment of Milovar Patrovic
for 20 years for the murder of Contractor Samuel T. Ferguson in Washing-ton
county four years ago. The claim is made that a notorious convict,
Harry Stone, now in Columbus penitentiary, is the real assassin, and that the
two Croatians were wrongly accused and punished.
While there are affidavits connecting Stone with the terrible crime, the
Washington county officials and Pittsburg detectives who took part in the
prosecution of the famous case are still positive that there was no miscar-riage
of justice at least so far as Kovovic was concerned. He confessed his
milt shortly before being executed. Milovar Patrovic was an accessory. The
two men were caught in England while on their way back to their old Croa.

to Many a Mother in Pennsylvania.
When there is added to the many
cares inseparable from the rearing of
children that affliction of weakness of
the kidneys and auxiliary organs, the
mother’s lot is far from a happy one.
This condition can be quickly changed
and absolutely cured by the use of Doan’s
Kidney Pills. When this is known the
mother’s burden will be lighter and her
home happier.
Mrs J. Geiger, 2(113 Chestnut street,
Erie, Pa., says: “The condition of my
little daughter used to cause me a great
deal of worry as well as inconvenience
She was troubled with a weakness of
kidneys. A neighbor told me about
Doan's Kidney Pills and I got a box for
the child. She improved greatly under
their use and by the time I had finished
administering the second box she was
relieved of all symptoms.”

Gettysburg Pictures.
There are nlso 150 Gettysburg monu-ment
pictures. The Pennsylvania com-mission,
through its superintendent of
grounds and buildings, II. B. Row-land
of Philadelphia, lias given much
care to the grounds around the build-ing.
Tlie grounds are 200 b.v 200 feet.
The state holds the option on the land,
as other state commissions do.
A pleasant feature for Pennsylvania
visitors is that they find all of the
newspapers of the state contributed by
the publishers. In connection with
the construction of the building Super-intendent
Rowland calls attention to
the fact that white pine is used, as in
the original structure.
The Pennsylvania building is bril-liantly
illuminated. Two clusters of
lights surmount the front terrace,
while from the posts and brackets there
are additional clusters of lights in
abundance. All the Hues of the build-ings
and tower are illuminated by
rows of lights.
The members of the Pennsylvania
commission are Governor Edwin S.
Stuart, chairman; E. S. Stoutsburg,
treasurer; Robert S. Murphy, William
C. Sproul, Henry F. Walton, John M.

Pennsylvania History Exhibit.
The Pennsylvania state history ex-hibit
is located in the fireproof His-tory
building and Is under the direction
of Dr. Albert Cook Myers, an eminent
writer of American history, of Moylan,
Philadelphia, and Professor M. D.
Learned, head of the department of
German at the University of Pennsyl-vania,
commissioned to prepare and
install the exhibit. They have by rea-son
of their wide knowledge of the
subject and material with which they
had to deal succeeded in collecting
possibly the best exhibit of the kind
the state has ever made.
A series of largo wall maps, five In
number, show the historical develop-ment
of Pennsylvania. They are at-tractively
arranged on the walls, inter-'
spersing the large number of portraits
of the distinguished makers of the
Hate’s history.
The first of these maps illustrates the
Pennsylvania of 1660, the second Penn-sylvania
of 1690, the third Pennsylva-nia
in 1715, the fourth Pennsylvania
in 1735. The fifth is a map of Penn-sylvania.
Maryland and Virginia for
1735.
The most extensive part of the ex-hibit
is a loan collection of objects
illustrative of Pennsylvania history
arranged according to the state’s his-torical
development.
One corner of the space represents
the early period—the Swedish devel-opment.
As an evidence of the pains
taken in collecting the Pennsylvania
exhibit it may be stated that a trained
university man was sent to Sweden,
’.'.IT1 lie stper.; - securing
. holographs of documents in the offl-
> i d files of that country relating to
the settlement of Sweden on the Dela-ware.
Relics of Quakers.
Much space Is given over to the his-tory
of the Quakers, who were among
the earliest settlers in Pennsylvania.
There is a photograph of the Caleb
i’usey house, built in 1683, which
stands to this day and is the oldest
house in Pennsylvania. In this house
William Penn was entertained.
The Quaker case contains old silhou-ettes.
An odd engraving, made by
Ilemskirck. of a Quaker meeting in
London about 1680 hangs on the cor-ner
post. There are two valuable en-gravings
made from paintings by
Benjamin West and his family, one in
1779; the other of Penn’s treaty with
the Indians, 1681. Of this early art-ist’s
work two originals are shown, his
first painted portraits. They are por-traits
or cbltaren. made about 1750,
when West was only seventeen years
of age, prior to his election to the
presidency of the Royal academy.
Along the side wall is a showcase
containing many ancient documents
relating to the history of old Chester
county, and above It bangs a portrait
of the Quaker philanthropist. Lucretia
Mott, painted by William Furness,
brother of the great Shakespearean
scholar, Horace Howard Furness.
Along the top of the rear wall is a
long row of oil portraits of tlie govern-ors
and other early officials of the
ktute.
In tlie center of the rear wall Is a
handso’"e painting of William Penn in
armor at the age of twenty-two. There
is also a glass case, known as the Penn
case, whicli contains ninny parchments
deeds and other manuscripts signed by
Penn and his sons.

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 planingmill, 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 andcpower. 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,
THE CAPTAIN IS ALL RIGHT.
An effort is being made to have Cap-tain
Crombie Allen, the clever young
editor and manager of the Greensburg
“Tribune” and "Press," stand for the Re-publican
nomination of County Treas-urer
next spring and, whether or not he
can be persuaded to make the fight, the
tact remains that the G. O. P. might go
farther and fare much worse in the se-lection
of a candidate to guard West-moreland's
cash.
The captain is a stalwart in his party
and has for years’done yoeman service
for all those whom it named for office,
all of which would make him deserving
of tlys substantial recognition his friends
are now endeavoring to thrust upon him.
THE JOURNAL joins with his Methodist
Episcopal people on behalf of many
other friends in trusting that the Colo-rado
climate will clear up Rev. John K.
Howe’s voice and spare him to the min-istry,
But, financially, the reverend gen-tleman’s
qualifications will enable him
to do even better in commercial lines.
A GOOD WORK.
Books in charge of Sheriff Martin A.
Kiefer show that for the first eight
months of 1907 there were sixty-seven
arrests in Fayette county for carrying
concealed weapons, and of this number
of defendants, thirty-three paid the reg-ulation
fine of $50 and costs. These fines
netted the county $1,650, exclusive of
costs.
Fines collected from those able to pay
are more than sufficient to overbalance
the cost of imprisonment for those who
are without funds and forced ter spend
the nine months in jail, which is the al-ternative
sentence. If the present ratio
of arrests is kept up, the number will
pass the 100 mark by the end of the year.
This is a good work and one for which
the prosecutors are to be highly com-mended.
It will reduce "Old Fiatt'si’
notorious record for bloodshed. The
practice of carrying concealed weapons
is also entirely too general in this
county.
THE Dauphin county grand jury has
found true bills against the alleged state
capitol grafters, giving reasonable ground
for the belief that conviction of those
who are guilty will follow in due time.
RIGHTS OF THE ROOSTER.
Dr. J. A. McKean, of Washington, Pa.,
was arrested recently charged with
maintaining a nuisance, neighbors claim-ing
his rooster's crowing made sleep
impossible, Burgess A. C. Marsh fined
the doctor $5 and ordered him to get rid
of the rooster. The physician appealed
the case to the county courts.
The decision, which was reached by
the jury Thursday last, says that the
conviction of the physician was not
a summary one under the statutes and
that the complaint against Dr. McKean
was not a regular one. The borough is
therefore ordered to strike the fine from
the records and the physician is instruct-ed
that his rooster is free to crow.
As no appeal to a higher court is
likely to be taken by the overzealous
lovers of sleep in Washington county’s
capital, this decision clearly establishes
the rooster’s right to crow. So let him
crow day or night; the court has said he
has the right.
IT was eminently proper that Con-nellsville
and New Haven should have
a big celebration over their freedom
from bridge bondage.
MORE LOCAL OPTION AGITATION.
Local option bids fair to cut a bigger
figure than ever in the next session of
the Pennsylvania Legislature. The Fed-eration
of Liquor Dealers met behind
closed doors at Harrisburg Thursday
with over 200 delegates in attendance.
It is said, however, that waysand means
October 3. 1907.
to again defeat local option were dis-cussed,
and that a defense fund of $7,-
500,000 was determined upon. The Anti
Saloon League people are, however,
keeping tab on their enemies as their
superintendent, Nicholson, is out in a
statement in which he says:
“While the liquor men are raising
their $7,500,000 to defeat local option in
Pennsylvania they might as well make
it $7,500,000,000 for the sort of expendi-tures
that they will have to meet will
came high. While they are at it, they
might tell what they did with the $100,-
000 which they had at their disposal at
the Legislature last winter.”
THE JOURNAL never took any stock in
local option; but, it will miss its guess
if legislative candidates don’t come
arunning after the liquor dealers' mil-lions.
Perhaps So.

PENNSY OUTGENERALED.
The New York Central Railroad's Short Line
to Pittsburg.
The management of the New York
Central lines, it is reported on good au-thority,
has outgeneraled that of the
Pennsylvania system and made arrange-ments
to open shortly a road directly
into Pittsburg at a point from which it
can reach New York by a route 70 miles
shorter between the two big cities than
that now traversed by the Pennsylvania.
The Central people now have a line
to Arcadia, Jefferson county, and they
now propose to extend it through In-diana
county into Westmoreland and
thence down the Sewickley creek to a
point on the Youghiogheny river near
Suterville where connection will be
made with their Pittsburg and Lake Erie
system.
BY PISTOL ROUTE.
Two Young Men Send Their Souls Into
Maker’s Presence.
Edgar B. Porch, aged 30 years and a
son of William Porch, of near Pleasant
Unity, committed suicide by shooting
himself in the head with a pistol Satur-day
morning at his home in Youngwood
where he was employed as a car in-spector
in the Southwest yards. His
wife and two little children survive. It
is said that he had been drinking heavily.
John D. Smail, a weak minded young
man, aged 26 years, who lived with his
mother near Delmont, this county, killed
himself in a similar manner the same
day. His father, Solomon Smail, shot
and killed himself some three years ago.
New Court House Heat.
The county commissioners met Thurs-day
and passed on the location of the
engine room for the new court house.
They decided to erect the plant on the
site of the present one, now used for
heating the jail.
A Brothers Terrible Grief.
Last Wednesday after accidentally
shooting his little brother in the head,
from which he died, Raymond McCa-hon,
the 12-year-old son of William Mc-
Cahon, of Point Marion, made a futile
attempt to commit suicide by throwing
himself into Camp run.

THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1907
GROWTH OF COMMERCE.
Unique Exhibit by State of Pennsyl-vania
at Jamestown Exposition.
Fleeting centuries nre ns Imt a day
in th > nil absorbing corner of tile Edu-cation
building at the Jamestown ex-position,
wherein is displayed the mag-nificent
exhibit of the Commercial mu-seum
of Philadelphia, under the aus-pices
of the Pennsylvania state commis-sion.
There one may in imagination
bnrter with the Phoenicians of 500
years before Christ in the commercial
exchange of pearls, gold dust, tin, ala-baster,
malachite, tigs, dates, almonds,
fine linen, myrrh, sandalwood, dragon
blood, olive and palm oil and slaves,
samples of each of these and many
other articles of Phoenician commerce
being on exhibition in this section,
the slaves being represented by minia-ture
figures, and it is noticeable that
their color was not always black.
Thus the commerce of the passing
centuries passes in review, and to the
limited articles of trade of the Phoeni-cians
are added in the early centuries of
tne Christian ern such tilings ns silk,
hog bristles, cork, lemons and oranges,
tea, rice, beads, etc. There the Romans
appear as the bright and shining stnrs
in the commercial wo®, the Phoeni-cians
and Egyptians having given way
to the sway of the Caesars. With the
Romans came sucli articles of com-merce
as salt, wrought iron, brass,
sheepskin, ivory, camels’ hair, raisins,
pongee silk, aloes, oak galls, honey,
figs, spikenard and dates.
The exhibit of articles representing
the trade of nations, interesting in the
extreme though it is, would not be
complete without the accompanying
exhibit, showing by photographic rep-resentation
and model the various
methods or means of transportation of
commerce past and present. Upon the
walls of the section allotted to this
exhibit nre hung representations of the
handcarts df Japan, the laden ponies
of Asia Minor, the yak wagons of
Tibet, the ox carts of India, the
dromedaries of Slam, the camels of
Egypt, the dogs and reindeer of Alas-ka
and Siberia, the llamas of the An-des,
elephants of Calcutta nnd scores
of onier eqUiiIiy interesting anti unique
representations of commercial ways
nnd means. Then there nre reproduc-tions
of fast flying freight trains of
different nations and models of water
commerce from aaci,:...
to modern times.
The e models are in themselves
worthy of hours of study. There nre
Venetian galleys, Arabian dhows, the
drakers of the Norsemen, Egyptian
punts Carthaginian galleys. Malay
proas, Bolivian balsas, Japanese junks.
Phoenician galleys, Babylonian sea
horses, Egyptian triremes, Spanish gal-leons
and caravels, Italian nef, Dutch
gnlleots. Polynesian sea camels. New
Caledonia praliu and American clip-pers.
The exhibit is one of compari-son
and contrast, a grand lesson In the
study of commerce and commercial
relations, the whole giving a vivid im-pression
of the mutual interdependence
of nations of the present day.

“Morlnnd! Philip Morland!”
“Ah, you remember the mime! It
was given to a young derelict who ouee
figured in the dock before you on ti
charge of being in unlawful posses-sion’’—
“The matter is not serious, then?”
“It is very serious. The real Philip
Morland is my uncle.”
“Do you mean to say that you learn-ed
this fact for the first time today
from Sharpe & Smith?”
Thilip laughed. By this time they
were seated at the table, and their talk
depended to a certain extent on the
comings and goings of servants. At a
dinner en famille, the presence of a
ponderous butler and solemn lackeys
was dispensed with.
“Oh, you lawyers!” he cried. “That’s
a nice sort of leading question. But,
marvelous as it may seen to you, I
must answer ‘Yes.’ My mother’s maid-en
name was Morland. Her brother
was much older than she, and it ap-pears
the dear woman married to
please herself, thereby mortally offend-ing
the baronet.”
“Why the ‘offense?’”
“Because my father's social position
was not equal to that of the aristocrat-ic
Morlands. Moreover, her brother
had an accident in his youth which
rendered him irritable and morose.
From being a pleasant sort of man—
which, indeed, he must have been did
he share aught of my mother’s nature—
he grew into 'a misanthrope and gave
his life to the classification of Exmoor
beetles. He treated my mother very
badly, so vilely that even she, dear
soul, during her married life held no
further communication with him and
never mentioned him to me by name.
Now, one day on Exmoor lie found a
lady who also was devoted to beetles—
at least she knew all that the Encyclo-paedia
Britnnuica could teach her. She
was a poor but handsome widow.”
“Ah!”
“It is delightful to talk with you,
Abingdon. Your monosyllables help
the narrative along. Sir Philip mar-ried
the widow. She brought him a
son, aged five. There were no children
born of my uncle’s marriage.”
“Oh!”
“When poverty overtook my dear one,
she so far obliterated a cruel memory
as to appeal, not once, but many times,
to the human eoleopterus of Exmoor,
but she was invariably frozen off either
by Lady Louisa Morland or by Messrs.
Sharpe & Smith.”
“Did they admit this?”
“By no means. I am telling you the
facts. I am still on top of the Pyre-nees.”
“Then how did you ascertain the
facts?”
“I have in my possession ever since
my mother’s death the letters they
wrote to her. They were fresh In my
memory when you and I first met in
the Clerkenweil police court. That is
why the name of Philip Morland was
glib on my tongue.”
“So I have only heard historical
events—events prior to the last ten
years?”
“Exactly. My uncle is now sixty
years of age. Lady Louisa Morland’s
son is twenty-four. Her ladyship's
whole aim in life has been to secure
him as the baronet’s heir. The title, of
course, he cannot obtain. But, most
unfortunately, he has no penehnnt for
beetles. Indeed, Lady Louisa's re-searches
have long since diminished in
ardor. Her son’s interests are divided
between the Sports club and the cory-phees
of the latest musical comedy.
Moths are more in his line apparently.
My uncle, who is preparing a mono-graph
on the fleas which patronize Ex-moor
wild ponies, came to town last
week to visit the British museum. Un-happily
he heard sometliiug about his
stepson which disturbed his researches.
There was a row.”
“WThy do you say ‘unhappily?’”
“Because I am dragged into the
wretched business on account of it.
After a lapse of more than twenty-five
years he remembered his sister, went
to his solicitors, made a fearful hub-bub
when he heard of letters received
from her and answered without his
knowledge and ascertained that she
was dead and had a son living. At any
cost, they must find that son. They
have guessed at my identity for some
time. Now they want to make sure of
It.”
“And what did you say?”
“I told them I would think over the
situation and communicate with them
further.”
“Were they satisfied?”
“By no means. They are exceeding-ly
anxious to placate the old man.
They probably control a good deal of
his money.”
“Um!”
“Of course! You see the delicacy of
their position. After playing into the
hands of Cady Louisa for nearly a
quarter of a century they suddenly find
the whole situation changed by the
baronet’s belated discovery that he
once had a sister.”
“You have not told me ail this with-out
a purpose. Do you want my ad-vice?”
Philip’s face was clouded, his eyes
downcast.
“You understand,” he said after a
long pause, “that some one, either the
man or the woman—the woman, I
think—is morally responsible for my
mother’s death. She was Door—wretch.
edly, Horribly poor—the poverty of thin
clothing and insufficient food. She was
ill, confined to a miserable hovel for
weary months nnd was so utterly un-provided
with the barest necessities
that the parish doctor was on tlie point
of compelling her to go to (lie work-house
infirmary when death came.
Am 1 to he tlie instrument of God’s
vengeance on this woman?”
Mr. Abingdon, who had risen to light
a cigar, placed a kindly hand on the
young man’s shoulder.
‘Thilip,” he said, with some emo-tion,
“I have never yet heard you utter
n hasty judgment. You have prudence
far beyond your years. It seems to
me, speaking with nil the reverence of
a man in face of the decrees of Provi-dence,
that God lias already provided
a terrible punishment for Lady Louisa
Morland. What is the name of her
son?”
“I do not know. I forgot to ask.”
“I have a wide experience of the
jeunesso doree of London. Hardly a
week passed during many years of my
life that one of his type did not ap-penr
before me in the dock. What is
he—a roue, a gambler, probably a
drunkard ?”
“All these, I gathered from the so-licitors.”
“And if your mother were living,
what would she say to Lady Mor-land?”
“She would pity her from the depths
of her heart. Yes, Abingdon, you are
right. My uncle’s wife has chosen her
own path. She must follow it, let it
lead where it will. I will write to
Messrs. Sharpe & Smith now. But
step into my dressing room with me
for a moment, will you?”
In a corner of the spacious apart-ment
to which he led his guest stood a
large safe. Philip opened it. Within
were a number of books and docu-ments,
but in a large compartment at
the bottom stood a peculiar object for
such a repository—an ordinary leather
portmanteau. He lifted it on to a couch
and took a key from a drawer in the
safe.
“This is one of my treasures which
you have never seen,” ho said, with a
sorrowful smile. “It has not been in
the light for many years.”
He revealed to his friend's wonder-ing
eyes the tattered suit, the slipshod
boots, the ragged shirt and cap, the
rusty doorkey, associated with that
wonderful month ol' March of a decade
earlier. He reverently unfolded some
of his mother’s garments, and his eyes
were misty as he surveyed them.
But from the pocket of the portman-teau
he produced a packet of soiled let-ters.
One by one he read them aloud,
though he winced at the remembrance
of the agony his mother must have
endured ns she experienced each rebuff
from Lady Morland and her husband’s
solicitors.
Yet he persevered to the end.
“I wanted a model for a brief com-munication
to Messrs. Sharpe &
Smith,” he said bitterly. “I think the
general purport of their correspond-ence
will serve my needs admirably.”
As he closed the Gladstone bag his
stern mood vanished.
“Do you know,” he said, “that this
odd looking portmanteau, always lock-ed
and always reposing in a safe, has
puzzled my valets considerably? One
man got it out and tried to open it. I
caught him in the act. I honestly be-lieve
both he and the others were un-der
the impression that I kept my dia-monds
in it.”
“By the way, that reminds me of a
request from Isaacstein. As all the
smaller diamonds have now been dis-posed
of and there remain only the
large stones, he thinks that some of
them might be cut into sections. They
are unmarketable at present.”
“Very well. Let us appoint a day
next week and overhaul the entire col-lection.
I intend to keep the big ones
to form the center ornaments of a
tiara, a necklace and gewgaws of that
sort.”
“I am glad to hear it.”
“My dear fellow, I suppose there will
be a Mrs. Anson some day, but I have
not found her yet.
"Whoe’er she he.
That not impossible she,
That shall command my heart and me.”
And a ripple of laughter chased
away the last shadows from bis face.
CHAPTER XIV.
R. ABINGDON took his de-parture
at an early hour. His
excellent wife was indispos-ed,
and her age rendered him
anxious.
Philip wrote a curt letter to Sharpe
& Smith. He had given thought to
their statements, he said, and wished
to hold no further communication with
either Sir Philip Morland or his repre-sentatives.
Then he ordered his private han-som,
intending to visit the Universi-ties’
club.
It was a fine evening, one of those
rare nights when blase London aban-dons
herself for an hour to the delights
of spring. The tops of omnibuses pass-ing
through Park lane were enlivened
by muslin dresses nnd flower covered
hats. Men who passed in hansoms
wore evening dress without an over-coat.
Old earth was growing again,
and if weather wise folk predicted that
such an unusually high temperature
meant thunderstorms and showers it
would indeed be a poor heart that did
not rejoice In the influences of the
moment.
Two powdered and noiseless footmen
threw open the door as Philip appear-ed
in the hall. He stood for a little
while in the entrance buttoning his
gloves. A strong electric light—ho
loved light—fell on him and revealed
his firm face and splendidly propor-tioned
frame.
He cast a critical eye on a sleek
horse in the shafts and smiled pleas-antly
at the driver.
“Good gracious, Wale,” he said,
“your cattle are becoming as fat as
MORTGAGE
FORECLOSED
On Big Somerset County Property of
the Connellsville and Ursina Coal
and Coke Company.
WRIT ISSUED BY LIFE INSURINtE COMPANY.
Attorney George R, Scull, of Somerset, representing the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company of New York, has just issued a writ, the biggest in
the history of the county, to foreclose a mortgage of $180,000 against the
Connellsville & Ursina Coal & Coke Company.
Themortgaged property consists of nearly 8,000 acres of coal land and a
railroad five miles long with two sidings. Unless relief is obtained the prop-erty
and equipment will be sold by the sheriff at the December court.
Located on the property is the mining town of Humbert, comprising loO
miners’ houses, a store, office building and power house. The mines at
Humbert were opened shortly after the construction of the Connellsville di-vision
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. A New York syndicate,which took
over the property several years ago, has become involved.

lie sprang into the vehicle. With a
lively “Kim up!” Wale got his stout
steed into a remarkably fast trot.
A tall man who had been loitering
and smoking beneath the trees across
tlie road for a long time sauntered to-ward
a tradesman’s cart which was
standing near tlie area gate of the
next house while the man in charge
gossiped with a kitchenmaid.
“Bi'g pardon!” lie said to the couple.
“Is that Mr. Philip Anson’s place?”
with an indicatory jerk of his thumb.
“Yes,” said tlie man.
“An’ was that Mr. Anson himself
who drove away iu a private cab?”
“Yes,” said the girl.
“Thanks! It does one good to see a
young chap like him so jolly and com-fortable
and provided with everything
he can want in the world, eh?”
“I wish I ’ad a bit of ’is little lot,”
sighed the greengrocer’s assistnnt, with
a side glance at the maid.
The stranger laughed harshly.
“It’s hard to say when ye’re well

vigil on the pavement near the railings
teemed to have ended. In Piccadilly
lie took an omnibus to the Circus and
there changed to another for the Ele-phant
and Castle.
lie walked rapidly through the con-geries
of mean streets which lie to the
east of that bustling center and paus-ed
at last before a house which was oc-cupied
by respectable people, judging
by the cleanly curtains and general air
of tidiness.
He knocked. A woman appeared.
Did Mrs. Mason live there? No. She
knew nothing of her. Had only been
In the place eighteen months.
The man evidently appreciated the
migratory habits of tlie poor too well
to dream of prosecuting further in-quiries
among the neighbors. He stroll-ed
about, reading the names over the
small shops, the corner public house,
the dressmakers’ semiprivote resi-dences.
At last lie paused before a somewhat
grim establishment—an undertaker’s
office. He entered. A youth was whis-tling
the latest music hall song.
“Do you know anything of a Mrs.
Mason who used to live iu this locality
nbout ten years ago?” lie asked.
“Sirs. Mason? There .may be forty
Mrs. Masons. What was her Christian
name an’ address?”
“Airs. Hannah Mason, 14 Frederick
street.”
The youth skillfully tilted back his
stool until he reached a ledger from a
shelf behind him. He ran his eye
down an index, found a number and
pulled out another book. -
"We buried her on the 20th of No-vember,
nine years since,” he said cool-ly,
rattling both tomes back into their
places.
“You did, eh? Is there anybody here
who remembers her?”
Something in the husky voice of this
stark, ill favored man caused the boy
to become less pert.
“Father’s in,” he said. "I’ll ring for
him.”
Father came. He had a vague mem-ory
of the woman, a widow with two
children—boys, he thought. Somebody
helped her in her last days and paid
for the funeral—paid cash, according
to the ledger. He did not know who
the friend was nor had he any knowl-edge
of the children’s fate. Work-house,
most probably. What work-house?

One must have lived through a dull

ETERNITY
ernity
The boys and girls we cannot neglect at any time. The
great men and women of the future are the boys and girls of
teday and they deserve to be properly shod in good shoes.
If you buy ill-fitting and un
comfortable shoes for your child-dren,
you may ruin their feet and
make trouble for them the rest of
their lives. If you got shoes for
them that are not well made, that
allow their feet to get cold and wet,
you may be doing something to
make them sick, possibly invalids
for tlie rest of their lives. You
would not maliciously ruin their feet
or make them sick, of course.
Why then, do you not buy
“Eternity” school shoes for them?
The shoes that fit and feel good
from the minute they first put them
on, wear well and please, and cost
no more than the other kinds.
“ Elernily ” school shoes have two full soles from heel to
toe that are put on with screw fasteners. That’s why they keep the
feet always warm and dry and the soles can’t rip and pull apart.
As they have a neat, dressy appearance, these shoes can
be used for both service and dress.
Remember—“ Nothing Lasts Like Eternity.”

The people of this vicinity are busily
engaged in threshing buckwheat and
making cider.
The schools of this township are pro-gressing
nicely.
While on their way to school on last
Friday some of the Trout Run pupils
became frightened at what they suppos-ed
to be a panther.
Now as the hunting season is here, we
may look for hunters from a distance
roaming where they please. The people
who own property should strictly pro-hibit
all such people from trespassing.

The late showers have caused our
farmers to wear a chronic frown which
seems to be hard to ward off. The plow-ing
season was throughout and what
looked to be a terrible task was simply
boy's play. The rains of Saturday night
and Sunday will put a damper on those
now ready to sow. A few farmers be-lieve
the gentle rainfalls beneficial to the
buckwheat crop. All wish for a week's
fair weather to give a fair opportunity
to dig potatoes. The potatoes are still
in the ground and will stay there for
some time if the damp feather contin-ues.
Potatoes will be potatoes this year.
The price is sure to advance and it is
impossible to predict a top rock price as
the tubers are rotting very alarmingly.
The farmers are not worrying over liar-vesting
the fruit crop this year. There-fore,
they are a little ahead.
Johnny Craig is enjoying the lake
breezes at Cleveland. He is employed
in a machine shop and will probably
learn a trade. Having heard John D.
Rockefeller speak to a Sundey school
class same time, he now has many new
ideas.
M. Stewart Pershing finished painting
the Pennsville school house and is
much credited for his artistic taste. Few
painters have been busier during the
summer.
Thomas Boring has finished the wall
for his new dwelling house. The car-penters
will begin work in the near
future.
Frank Yothers, one of our practical
farmers, will sow no wheat this fall, but
will sow grass seed only.
J. Harry Freed will have a corn crop
equal to any in this vicinity except W.
E. Miller’s. Mr. Miller planted the
Amos Trout hard dent strain.
One of the many happy events of the
season occurred at the Elmer Bell resi-dence
last Thursday when thirty con-versation
loving women of our village
and suburbs congregated to tender a
birthday surpri « on Mrs. Bell. A real
surprise it surel was as Mrs. Bell was
busily engaged canning tomatoes. All
attendants were willing to lend a hand
and the hard task was rendered easy and
completed in ample time to make the
elaborate dinner a very pleasing feature.
The afternoon was pleasantly spent in a
social way and when the time for de-parture
arrived all joined in wishing
Mrs. Bell many years of joy and happi-ness
and one and all are ready, should
the occasion present itself, to return at
some future birthday to enjoy another
rare treat. Mrs. Bell was the recipient
of many costly presents.
Jesse Cochran has gone to Allegheny
College where he is taking a classical
course. Modern education advantages
are not passing our young people un-heeded.
Harry Wingrove will whitewash his
small farm during the winter. He has
already hauled some twenty odd perches
of stone.
