Blaine at Home.

The scenes daily transpiring around
the Republican: candidate for President
at his old home in Maine, are not only
pleasing TO read but must be pleasant
in themselves. twas noticed that on
the very day the National Convention
was meeting in Chicago, Mr.. Blame
and family had packed their goods in
Washington and had hurried off to his
home in Maine. He was there when
his nomination came, and it was there
he received the first news and the first
congratulations .of his old neighbors.
How different would this all have been
had he remained in Washington. All
Maine seemed to rise up aud honor
her adopted son. Then visitors came.
First among them General Logan, his
associate on the ticket, for Vice Pres
ident. That was probably the first
time Gep. Logan had been to Maine.
How much more pleasant it was for
the two candidates to meet 10 the cool
breezes and among the shady groves
of Mr.. Blaine's residence at Augusta,
than if they had met at his residence
in the warm crowded city of Washing
ton. Then, next in order, to go to
August, now for the time being the
political Mecca of this country, is the
National Committee appointed by the
Natior"l Convention to formally notify
Mr.. Blaine of his nomination This
duty the Committee just performed
last week, and we were struck with the
new feature of the same. The Com
nit e went in person, one from each
State, and formally notified him Of his
nomination. Heretofore similar COM
mi tees had notified similar nominees
by letter. But they went away to
Maine in person, and found Mr.. Blaine
at his Maine home. His house was pot
capable of holding all who were pres
ent, and, at suggestion made, all
went from the house out to the lawn
and under the shady trees. Here the
Chairman of the Committee made
known it's mission, and Mr.. Blaine re-
Piled. A similar scene we believe
never took place in this Nation. 1t
conveys pleasant idea of the simple
ity of our Republican institution.

PATRIOT
Bishop Matthew Simpson, d. D.,
Ii. d.

Bishop Simpson died at ten minutes
to nine last Wednesday morning III
Philadelphia. He passed away s1r-
rounded by his wife and children.
Matthew Simpson, whose patriotic
and selfdenying labors during the civil
war made L IN almost as well known
to the nation at large as 10 the commu-
nion of which he was one Of the chief
overseers, was born in Cadiz, Ohio, on
the 21st of June, 1910. His father
died while the future bishop was still in
infancy. His mother, devoted, pious
and highly accomplished woman, ,decid-
cd to educate him with a view to the
ministry, hoping that his own choice
would u TO enter it when he
became of age to judge. He
early manifested remarkable aptitude
for study, and ut the age Of nine he was
not only well grounded in the ordinary
English branches, bat could read flu
emily in German. He afterwaId added
to his linguistic acquiIements a knowi-
edge of Latin, Greek and Hebrew, and
of two or three modern languages. He
attained considerable proficiency also
in philosophical and physical studies.
la 1929 he graduated from Madison
College, and in the same year made
public profession Of religion, connecting
himself with the Methodist church.
Upon leaving college he decided to
enter the medical profession, to which
his taste strongly drew him, and, after
taking q very thorough course of study
he took his degree of M. ID. in 1888.
He en- red upon the practice of his
profession with much enthusiasm, but
in very short time lie found himself
powerfully drawn to the ministry and
became u local preacher Soon alter
ward he entered upon the theological
studies, and in 1885 was admitted to
deacon's orders; and in 1887 he entered
itiaciaGy, TO the great joy of his mother,
whose prsyens aud eptreaties had un-
ceasingly followed him. While early
showing unusual ability in the pulpit,
the church deemed for some time that
it had more need of his scholarship in
it's collegiate institutions.
In 1888 he was made president of
Indiana Asbury University in l84l
he was transferred rom this position
to the vice presidency Of Allegheny
College, and to the duties of professor
of natural sciences there. He remain
ed there for ten years, adding to its du-
ties in 1913 those of editor of the
Wesiern i4G9rward the Pittsburgh
Chri. Gan Adco0oto 10 continued
until 1852 in the editorial chair, hliib8
it with marked ability until his eleva-
tion by the General Conference Of
that year TO the bishopric. He was,
when clcctea, tho youngest member

WILLIAM CALDWELL.

ONE district nomination for Con-
gress has already been made in this
district. The Mercer papers of last
week state that the Prohibition Con.
vention of that county met on Tuesday
week last and put in nomination Mr.. D.
NJ. Wilson, of Sharon, Mercer county for
Congress; and that, "the conferees from
Butler and Craw ford counties being
present the conferees met together and
reported that on the second ballot Mr.
j. M. Wilson, of Sharon, was unani
T.ously nominated"

In connection with the Judgeship
nomination in Lawrence county, to
which reference were made last week,
we understand that no proceedings
came before the Court of that county
last week, but that the matter will be
referred to the Republican Committee
of that county for any investigation
necessary. This will be the better
course, and it will give US pleasure to
correct promptly any wrong impression
it may turn out was made in the matter
concerning any candidate.

College Commencements.

What is known as college Com
mencements,' would be perhaps better
understood by the general public if they
were called college Closings." But
while tie exercises are at the close OF a
term, or year, yet they commence a
new era with some of the students. 1t
is tie time when degrees are publicly
conferred on the graduating class, and
hence these graduates commence to be
something more than mere students.
Most of the colleges and academies
in the Western part Of this State had
their closing exercises last week. of
one in this county an account will be
seen in another place. Those of Thiel,
at Greenville, Mercer county. and
Westminster, at New Wilmington,
Lawrence county, were interesting to
many of our citizens, who in one way
or another were interest ed in the same.

LARGE numbers gathered last Sun
day to the second annual celebration OF
the founding of the German Lutheran
Orphans Asylum, near Delano, this
county, small town on the Butler
Branch, and about midway from here
to Freeport.
1t is under the care of several Pitts
burgh churches and the people OF those
bodies appear to have came in mass.
Many citizens Of this county were also
present to witness the exercises. The
ground and groves are said to be very
fine. The location of the asylum at
that point was through the gift of a
Mrs. Maggie Ortell of the ground, %
acres, for the purpose. The interest
that is being taken in it will cause
many to be among its future visitors.

A Loud Complaint.

There is certainly a pretty loud and
a pretty general complaint going on
among Democrats of this county at the
nomination made by their late County
Convention for the Office of County
commissioners More particularly is this
the case with that of the nomination of
Mr.. Collins, one of them. 1t is claim
ed that he was unfairly nominated and
hence many Democrats are bolting him,
as they claim that he bolted the regu-
lar nomination of Esquire Wadsworth
for the same Office some years ago.
But it is not our place to interfere In
this matter. Our neighbor of the Dem
ocratic Herald will doubtless give his
readers all necessary light, where any
thing dark or crooked is alleged within
his party, and to him we refer this mat
ter for an explanation.

The following pertinent remarks in regard
to the admission OF all loyal women into Relief
Corps were made by j. Harrison Mills, p c. OF
Farragut Post, Of Denver, at q recent meeting
OF the Corps auxiliary TO that Post:
When we, your sons husbands and fathers, took
up arms to defend and preserve this Union Il was
not the assertion of individual class sentiment
All the loyal men did not 20 to the front We
never for one moment Thought that we who were so
fortunate - TO be young and strong and free from
nome responsibilities We're to aTTOgate to ourselves
the Loyalty OF the land. Did NC not know that
while we were pouring In thousands TO the front
eager and exultant Ia the freeInans right to bear
arms in defense Of freedom other thousands PRAYED
hourly for US, while they toed for the support of a
loyal army, and sympsathizcd 70 the fun with our
trials and successes. II we had been for one mo-
ment left without that supp0rt-naferia! ard
moral-could we have kept on2 No! Il was the
loyalty OF the land that we expressed II was for
all-East, West North and South that we fought
stood against Us, and to save them and their chill
dren and their chdrsns children from the result OF
their madness.
Again remember that the wives and daughters
of the soldiers limited In numbers all are not
able TO give their help. In few years the widows
and atherlesS viii call for your care after the h,fs-
bands and fathers have gone. From your own
number the burden of labors will receive con-
slant augmentation. Why deny now the assistance.
you viii then be glad to receive which in the
nature of things you cannot refuse. There are
thousands OF good and true and loyal women who
Will De glad to join you IN this work who are not
akin to the Grand Army although some OF them
did soldieriy duty themselves and saved many
times the lives of many of the very men who now
confer by marriage or parentage the only qualifl-
cation some OF yen willing to admit as euti-
ting you 70 membership in your organization.
These noble women are saying we, too, are loyal
women OF America and we and our children and
our ehildrens' children want to add our need OF
thankfulness and serve in the work you have TO do.

Inspector General pronounces one of the very
best in the State. The Captain went out in the
14th Ind. as an enlisted man and rose regularly
through all the grades. His time was within
three days of being up wheu he was severely
wounded at Cold Harbor, into which action he
led % men, of whom but two went back I'M
hurt. The Captain is now book keeper. and
has been in one house for II years. He has
been trying to get some physical recreation at

Old Point Comfort, and naturally wandered to
Washington in the course of his health seeking.

man was observed to be somewhat unsteady on
his pins As the curtain dropped on the fourth
act he again went out but this time was fol-
lowed by his companion, although he himself
did not notice the fact. When he came back
and sat down he observed her absence, and
after looking vaguely about and comparing his
check with hissea number, he got upon his feet
and went out to find her.
After long hunt in lobby and dressing
room, he evidently came to the conclusion that
she had left him in the lurch and gone home,
whereupon he also departed. And those who
saw the affair would have given dollar and a
half apisce 20 hear what she said to him the
next time they met.

What they Think OF Logan in Maine.

LrFOhs nc Actotst0fs INsJ JekYfsdt, June Il.
General Logan has created q very favorable
impression during his visit 70 Maine this week.
he is, in the first place, better looking man
than his picture makes him. In department
he is a perfect gentleman, and, while suffi-
GENTLY dignifed and reserved, gives q man
that cordial greeting and warm grasp Of the
hand that prove he has good blood in his veins.
dis public utterances have been marked by a
deliberation and prudence which his opponents
would have one believe he lacks but which he
combined in q happy degree with the fire of
his Western eloquence, in his speeches at Au-
gusts, Ellsworth and Bangor. General Logan
Ii not SO felicitous at repartee nor so charming
In conversation as is Mr. Blaine, but II would
De hard TO find an orator gifted with more
eloquent or persuasive speech than the "Gal-
LIANT hero of Illinois,
