Sundays Services.

Last Sabbath was a good day for
the church going people Of Tionesta.
Excellent sermons were preached Ia
the churches, and the warm weather
did MT prevent q good attendance.
In the M. T.. Church the regular
quarterly meeting exercises we're held.
Rev. John Peate, Presiding Elder,
preached three able sermons. The
Rev Peate has travelled much, and is
celebrated as n divine of wide and
varied attainments. His sermon on
Saturday evening was perhaps his best
effort Of the whole occasion. The text :
LET this mind be in you which was
in Christ Jesus Phil. xi: 5, was
handled in spirited aud happy style,
and displayed the capabilities of the
orator and the man. lie said there
was nothing more desirable than a
pleasant disposition, and that a man
who said that he was irascble and
couldn't help it, could help it.
His division was: The spirit OF
Christ was spirit of gentleness; a
spirit Of self sacrifice, a spirit pf humil.
| ily; a spirit of prayer and spirit Of
| work. He paid fine tribute to labor
and believed there were no lazy chris
tians. Little children went from their
mothers arms to Jesus. This was hi:
gentleness. nr. Guion, of the College
of Surgeons at Marselles, when the
plague prevailed, the nature of which
was not understood, rose in his place
and said; 81 know it is certain dcatl
to dissect one of these plague.smitter
bodies. but som ebo ~ must do it, anC
| shall. Ia the name of God anC
humanity | will do the work. and ht
did, and died in twelve hours This
was selfsacrifce. He who poured on
the waters of the earth from his hand
making great rivers, asked the Samar
itan woman for water; and this wa
humility.
Bro. Hinkling, of the Presbyterian
preached to attentive audiences morn
ing and evening, and it is not neces
sary to add here where he is so wei
and favorahly known that his dis
courses were characterized by th
usual ability and power.
There was no preaching in the Ere
Methodist Church, but the brethre
held their usual prayer meeting serv

THE Congressional Convention of
tho 9th district, composed of Erie,
Venango and Warren counties, met at
Cory last week, and after several day s
balloting nominated Col. L. F. Wat
son of Warren. The nomination gives
the best of satisfaction over the

BILE services in Congress four years ago
will secure him the hearty support of
every friend of the oil producers, and his
election may be set down as certain in

AT last there is trouble in Kearney's
own ranks. Many of his followers
have left him, and last week they
sought to mob the man whose speeches
they once listened to with delight.
The very men whom Kearney has
often driven to the verge of riot by
his Incorporate talk, turned on him,
and if the police had not interfered
would have mobbed him -Derrjck.

THE Greenbackers have notified the
Democratic Congressional Conferees
of this District to meet in Clarion on
the Goth inst, to nominate a candidate

at the last election tho Democrats

The ring-leaders of the Democratic
and Greenback parties of this
Congressional district are just
now engaged in mixing up a
pill for their followers to swallow next
November, which is going to require
an immense amount of sugar-coating
to get down. Already two or three
counties Of the district have instructed
for Mosgrove, and there is scarcely
any doubt but that the scheme will be
carried through. Just how the Dem
ocrats are going to be able to stomach
Mosgrove after his pledge Of two years
ago is a mystery that even they
cannot exactly solve. Following is a
complete copy ofa &nd-bill which was
spread broadcast over the district in

from among the non producers to rep
resent the industrial classes, and
WHEREAS, These men during their
candidacy, and in their intense desire
for Office promised the people great
reforms and the enactment of whole
some and salutary laws, but after
their election betrayed their interests
and sacrificed them to the Unsuitable
rapacity Of the moneyed sharks and
shylocks of our land, and
| WHEREAS, The National Green
back Labor Party has been organized
chiefly to enable the Workingmen,
Producers and Manufacturers to
choose from among their own ranks a
man of honor, integrity and ability. to

to him to sign, which he unhesitatingl,

ndhe remembered. too, how the big
tears had rolled down that fathers

But the husband and father was at
home once more, and If he had returned
with his body manned, he had brought
back an untarnished name. In addition
to q goodly bulk Of gold which he. car
ried stitched up in his vest, he had .
pension settled upon him, and the
future looked bright and clear. The
son Of Corporal Chollett became an inn
portant parsonage among the good
peasants, and the sou. .prefect was among
the first to solicit the friendship of the
battle-scarred old soldier. The little
cot smiled once more, and Pierre had
never occasion to 60 upon the highway
again with any foul intent. The old
soldier often refers to meeting with the
young robber of st. Gervais, and under
all the circumstances it rather plesses
him, and he thinks he can see in it the
proof of Pierre's courage, and also of
his true affection for his mother.

Forgery . Democratic weapon.

An investigating committee of the
Maine Legislature is gradually getting
at the details of the Pillsbury- -Garcelon
conspiracy against representative gov
erhment. One of the counted-out Sem
ators was Mr.. Andrew R. G.. Smith, OF
Lincoln County. Smiths majority was
1853. In order to get rid of this major
ity and give the seat to the Fusion can
didate, Garcelon's council threw out
Smiths entire vote-140-in the town
of Nohlaboro, because the ballots wer1
printed Andrew r. C. Smith, instead Of
Andrew r. G. Smith. This was bad
enough, as there was no room for doubt
as to the intention of the voters. But
there was still left majority of % for
Smith, and in order to overcome this,
the virtuous Fusion Council had re-
course to downright forgery. The
Town Clerk of Somerville testifies be-
fore the committee that he sent in q
certificate properly made up in open
town meeting, giving Smith ~ votes
legally cast. About the middle of De-
cember he received from the seat of
Government a letter written on the Of
fetal paper of the Office of the Secre-
tary of State, inclosing blank certifi-
cate, and directing him to fill it out Civ
ing the az votes to Andrew A. X. Smith
instead of Andrew r. G. Smith, as in
the genuine certificate. The Clerk con-
fesses that he followed instructions,
filled out the false certificate. and
signed to it the names of all the select
men. who knew nothing whatever OF
the transaction. The Garcelon Council
had previously credited Andrew r. G..
Smith with the 72 votes, as the tabu-
lated returns show, but on the strength
of the forged certificate these votes
were erased, and credited to Andrew
A. R. Smith, thus giving the Fusion
candidate plurality of 40. 1t was by
such means as this that the virtuous
Council, which professed so profound a
regard for the letter of the law and the
decisions of the Supreme Court, pro-
vided itself with pretexts for issuing q
majority of the certificates to Fusion
lists, and reversing the decision of the
Electors of the State. The conspirators
will probably not succeed in finding a
law or court decision of Maine author
izing or countenancing forgery as q
means of reversing the decisions of the
people at the pons.-Chicogo Times

Strange Devices Of Philadelphia So.
ciety Women.

Society women in Philadelphia are
accused of strange devices by the shop
keepers. One storekeeper in the arti-
ficial-fiower business says it is quite q
common occurrence to have ladies call
on the morning before ball and have
handsome flowers sent to their resi-
dence for appreciation, which are faith
fully returned the next day, with per-
haps the purchase of fifty-cent rose,
and occasionally without making any
purchase at all, having thus obtained
the required adornments for one even
ing's wear at the merchants expense.
Some time ago q carriage customer, it
is said, ordered to be sent to her fash
ionable residence, for selection, braid,
puffs and curls of color to match her
hair. As it was on the eve of q grand
reception, the messenger was told not
to return without the money or the
goods. The lady played sick, the arti-
cles were sent to her room for examina-
ton, and the messenger politely dis.
missed. Determined not to be hum
bugged, the storekeeper sent per
emptory message, demanding the re-
turn of the articles Immediately, which
was reluctantly complied with.

Importing Con1icts.

The statement of our Greencastle cor
respondent that several of the Kentucky
immigrants who have just arrived in
Putnam County prove to be convicts
recently pardoned out of the Kentucky
penitentiary and shipped into this State
BY Governor Blackburn. should attract
public attention. It will be remembered
that Governor Blackburn did recently
pardon between seventy and eighty
copvicts out of the Kentucky State
prison, and it would be quite in keeping
with what is known of his character
that he should conclude to ship them
into neighboring State. A man who
plotted the devastation of Northern
cities by introducing yellow fever, would
not be restrained from sending pardoned
convicts into another State by any con-
sideration of public decency, good
neighborhood or interstate coniity.
The sudden appearance of some twen-
ty-odd rough-looking fellows from Ken
tucky in Putnam County who, were
known to have travelled on free passes,
was calculated to raise suspicion of
something wrong. and this .is.sc
frmed BY the startling information
conveyed by our, correspondent that
they are recently-pardoned conyicts.
This is a matter which should be In
vestigated at once. There is no great
er breach of international or inter-
State comfy than the shipment of
convicts by the authorities of one State
or country to another. 1t has more
than once been made q subject of in
ternational correspondence between
the United States Government and
European Governments, and in some
instances known convicts have been
sent back. 1t needs no argument to
show that no greater outrage than this
can be perpetrated by one State upon
another, and If Governor Blackburn
has been guilty of it, the Governor of
Indiana should adopt immediate meas
ures for the return of the convicts to
Kentucky, and should protest in un-
mistakable terms against a repetition
of the outrage. We have recently
heard q great deal concerning the al
legged outrage of importing colored per-
sons into the State, on the ground that
they were paupers. The colored peo-
pie who have come here were poor, but
poverty is no disgrace. They were at
least honest, and they came to work.
They had no felon-brand upon them,
and did not come as pardoned con-
victs. 1t is known that the persons
who recently came from Kentucky
came on free passes, and the circum-
stances are such as to justify a strong
suspicion that they were pardoned con-
victs. The case is one that should i'm
mediately engage the attention of the

Rule Of the Rsnanofrs.

Michael Feodorovitch, who founded
the line in 1912, mounted the throne
when Polish King was the virtual
lord of Russia, and when the ashes of
Moscow was still wet with the blood of
100, 900 men. The very first year of his
reign was marked by hair breadth es-
CAPE from assassination. and its subse-
uuent troubles were neither few nor
slight. The thirty years. rule of his
son and successor, .Alexey, was one
long war. Feodor died exhausted by
the vain effort to civilize q State whose
mobiles were beasts of prey, and whose
peasants beasts of burden. Peter the
Creator his blind and imbecile half
brother, Ivan, is hardly worth mention

ance and brutal degradation, while the
son in whom he had hoped to find an
efficient colleague grew up weak and
worthless proAigate, whom his stern
father deliberately put to death, :" to
save Russia from a tyrant." His widow,
Catharine l., survived her possession
of the imperial crown barely eighteen
months. Peter IL, having disgraced.
during his short life, both himself
and his country, saved the latter
by the untimely death which was
the sole good deed Of his reign. Anna
