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.

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.

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.

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. tian home. This Information May B of Values 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.

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. Scott, J. Henry Cochran, Samuel P. White, Frank 15. McClain, William Wayne, H. I. Riley, Frank W. Jack-son, L. O. McLane, W. S. Harvey, George T.

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.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1907. JOHN L. SHIELDS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER. Subscription, $1,50 a Year, Payable In Advance. 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. Pittsburg Sun. From present indications all the capi-tol grafters will be able to spend Christ-mas and New Years in their own homes. Trimmer to be Trimmed. Dnlontown News Standard. Chief Capitol Trimmer John H. San-derson is in a fair way to undergo the “trimming” process himself. Not Our Bob. Greensburg Argus. No, Bessie, dear, it is not our own big, handsome “Bob” Herbert who is doing musical stunts at the Pittsburg expo, this week. It is the other handsome Herbert, whose front name is Victor. The gentleman to whom you refer doesn't know a bar of music from any other kind of bar, but he's a peach as an all-round newspaper man, which is all the more to his credit. 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.

LITTLE TALK OF THE TOWN THAT WILL BOTH INTEREST AND ENTERTAIN A Department in Which the Local Editoi Holds Hitch Carnival and Works off his Surplus Energy in Condensations ThatDeal Solely with Matters Relating to Mount Pleasant The first frost came Tuesday morning, doing, however, little damage. The tax that entitles one to vote at the November election must be paid on or before Saturday next, October 5. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Pahel, of South Diamond street, are receiving the con-gratulations of friends on the birth of a daughter Tuesday. John Reboe, a Morewood Slav, was killed Saturday morning by a fall of slate. He was 40 years of age and leaves a widow and family. The local football season will open at Frick Park Saturday afternoon next at 3:30 when the Latrobe Young Americas will line up against the Scholastics. Miller & Henderson have been given the contract to lay a flagstone pavement around the Third ward public school building. Their bid was 17'/ cents per foot. Rev. Duncan, the faithful young pas-tor of the local Free Methodist church, was presented with a nice little sum of money by his loving people Saturday evening. Juvenile football players who would like to line up against Joseph J. Heib's new team of nine-year-olds should call on or address that vigorous little kicker at 341 Washington street. The many old Mount Pleasant friends of Prof. S. K. Henrie will regret to learn that he is now confined to the Greens-burg hospital by ill health which com-pelled him to give up teaching. Wet weather so delayed Contractor Frank Hurst, of this place, in excavat-ing for the new state armory at Con-nellsville, that Charles Bossart didn’t get to work on the foundations until Monday last. At noon last Thursday at the home of Mr. Wolford, East Greensburg, by Rev. Dr. William J. Miller, William Lee Wil-lard, of Youngstown, this county, and Miss Ida J. Barclay, of this place, were united in marriage. Benjamin Cornelius, a driver in the Brush Run Coal & Coke Company’s mines, had his right hand and forearm badly lacerated Friday by being caught between a post and mine wagon. He was brought to the hospital. The application for a divorce asked by Berdelia M. Marks, of Mount Pleas-ant township, from her husband, Isaiah Marks, will be heard in court October 28. Isaiah is charged with having paid Miss Ada Marks too much attention. While H. P. Porter and Ben Willard, of Scottdale, were at Morewood last Thursday evening calling on Superin-tendent W. S. Ramsay, some one stole their rubber tired runabout and chestnut brown mare weighing about 1,000 pounds. Frank Husband, of this place, was pulled in by the police at Connellsville Tuesday when he lost control of his au-tomobile going down Main street. He put up a forfeit that was returned to him when he showed that the brakes re-fused to work. R. W. Singer and Howard O. Markle, of Connellsville, while driving here Sat-urday were, thrown from the buggy by the horse running off, but straightened things out and made the trip, although Mr. Singer is still on crutches on ac-count of a badly sprained left ankle. The will of the late John Herbert, of Stauffer, which was probated Friday, leaves everything to his wife, she and James S. Braddock, of this place, being the executors. At Mrs. Herbert’s death $25 will be given Mrs. Joshua Smutz, a daughter living at Indian Grove, Mis-souri, and the balance of the estate to Mrs. Margaret Stauffer, an another daugh-ter, and Amanda Smith, an adopted daughter. A foreign woman from Cantral, while on her way home after spending Sunday with Morewood friends, lost the family roll containing $1,000. She was afraid to leave the money at home with only the children in' the house. The poor woman wept bitterly when speaking of her loss. But she had been absent minded and left the roll at home where she found it all right and placed it in a local bank the next morning. Wire Worker Killed. I. B. Wadsworth, aged 54, was killed almost instantly Friday at the Monessen plant of the Page Woven Wire Fence Company, when a redhot wire ran through his neck. He had stooped down to pick up some scrap wire, and appar-ently felt only a prick in his neck for he started to have the wound dressed. He fell dead a few minutes later. He leaves a widow and four children. Indignity to Old Burgess. Late Saturday night W. H. Welfley, the 75-year-old burgess of Somerset, noticed several intoxicated men fighting in a street. No policemen were present and when the burgess attempted to make ar-rests, it is said he was handled roughly. Among the indignities he is said to have suffered when he was pinned down in the gutter was the pulling of his whisk-ers. The men escaped, but Welfley thinks he knows his assailants, and arrests are expected. PITTSBURG EXPOSITION. Reduced Rates via Pennsylvania Railroad.

Opposite Farmers & MerchantsBank me Store 652 Main Street, Mount Pleasant 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.

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. yourself!” “All your fault, sir,” was ihe cheer-ful reply. “You don’t use ’em 'arf enough.” “I can’t pass my time in being driven about town to reduce the weight of my coachman and horses.

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 off,” lie growled. “Up one day and down the other. You never know your luck.” S. C. Stevenson, NOTARY PUBLIC.

Mount Pleasant. Away he went southward. His long 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? Parish of Southwark. Easy to find.

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. Mrs. Soloman Bungard is on the sick list; also John Pritts, of the Longwood district. —. «. m DONEGALi. There will be a big rifle shooting match here on Wednesday, October 9th, start-ing at 10 a. m. and lasting all day. There will be ample prizes consisting of 6 yearling, and one 2-year-old cattle, 6 sheep and lambs, 150 chickens and ducks. Donegal expects a large attend-ance that day and is well able to take care of all who come. Mrs. Sophia Robinson was found dead in her log house Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. She had been dead about three days. Squire Hays summoned a jury Sunday night and rendered a verdict of natural death. George Bruner has gone to Grecnsburg on business. Rev. Bracken on Sunday preached his last sermon before attending conference. His people desire him back and are ex-pecting him to be returned.

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. WOODDALE. John J. Jones, wife and family, Mr. and Mrs. John Osterwise and Frank Rishebegar, all of Greensburg, spent last Sunday here as guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. R, Rishebegar. Mrs. J. R. Rishebegar and Mrs. Lewis Yothers had quite an exciting time last Tuesday at Samuel Clark's after peaches. But no one was hurt. Mrs. Ira Pershing and baby, of Ham-mondville, spent last Wednesday here calling on friends. Mrs. Clark Ridenour, of the Cross Roads, spent Sunday with her neice, Miss Mary Long. The first frost of the season came Tuesday Morning, but nothing was frozen. It will soon be cold enough for the wild geese to be making their appear-ance; but, be careful Jimmie, that you don't make a mistake and shoot a tame goose instead of a wild one or there will be another fight. Ha! ha! II ECLA. Dr. and Mrs. Walker spent several days last week with relatives at Mill Creek, Pa. Joseph McPhail, wife and family are visiting Mrs. McPhail's sister in Detroit, Michigan. Mrs. Mary Bailey spent Sunday with her daughter, Mrs. Jeffrey, of Trauger. Misses Luella and Frances Sparks, of Indian Head, spent Thursday with their sister, Miss Lida, of this place. Ferd Ficthner, of Marguerite, spent Sunday with Hecla friends. Bill Bailey was here for a few days this week. Miss Anna McGarrity, of Youngwood, spent several days of this week with Miss Agnes Herron. Miss Essie Bitz, of Brinkerton, called on Hecla friends Monday afternoon. JLAUR.KIJVI LLE. Edward Morey, wife and two small children returned to their Crafton home Monday after a week’s stay here with relatives and the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Morey. Amos Zufall, wife and child have again moved to our locality, into one of W. S. Leeper’s houses. Cyrus Miller contemplates moving this week to either McClure or Prittstown. Wra. Snyder will succeed him as farmer for W. S. Leeper. Mrs. Duff, of Smock, Fayette county, will visit her sister, Mrs. Jacob Zundell, this week. Supt. A. P. Darr and wife, in company with Miss Glassburn and Mr. Thompson, of the County Home, were welcome guests at the Hamel home Friday after-noon and evening. Jacob Kuhns is now employed in the Keim store as clerk. Alf. Miller has disposed of the butch-ering business for the present. Daniel King is erecting himself a stable which is nearing completion. Clarence Overly, who had been em-ployed with W. S. Leeper for the pist several months, returned to his home in Mount Pleasant Tuesday. Traces of jack frost were seen here Tuesday morning. George Cellers, wife and family, Mrs. Cox and daughter and Mrs, Leonard, wife and family, of Mount Pleasant, were pleasant callers on Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Bungard Saturday evening. After an enjoyable evening spent and a tooth-some lunch served about 11 o’clock they departed for home. Common Fleas Court Cases. The jury allowed Gustave Proschenitz, of Jeannette, $1,000 in his suit against the American Window Glass Company for the loss of his right arm. The plain-tiff had demanded $10,000.

VOL. 34. MOUNT PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1907. NO. 40.
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

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.

This Information May B of Values
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.
Scott, J. Henry Cochran, Samuel P.
White, Frank 15. McClain, William

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.
