COMMENTING upon the modern drift OF
religious excitement and the methods OF
the sensational evangelists, the Washington
Hatchet says: "Sankey introduced the
negro minstrel into church revivals and
Sam Jones is the originator of the buffoon.
The next genius will be the man who can
utilize comic opera. A parson must be
very versatile and thoroughly up in the
low comedy of 1.iety before he can attract
an audience w-a-da,s." This is severe
but that it is just no one will deny. The
modern methods Of drawing men from the
world to the church are too often against
the apostolic injunction to the Church Of
Christ to "do all things decently and in
order"

The River and Harbor bill being taken
up, on motion of Mr.. Markham, OF Califor
MIA, the appropriation for the survey OF
OF San Francisco harbor, San Pablo Bay,
Suisun Bay, and the mouths OF the San
Joaquin and sacramento rivers, was re-
diced from $50, 900 to $11 900. This was
done in accordance with the recommenda-
tions OF the supplementary report OF the
chief OF engineers.
Mr.. Negley, Of Pennsylvania, raised a
point of order againt the clause in the bill
which directs the Secretary Of War to
negotiate for the purchase Of the works OF
the Monongahela Navigation Company,
the value OF the works to be ascertained by
a commission of three engineers OF the
Engineer Corps. If the company refuses
to sell it's works, or demands a price deemed
by the Seer. tary to be excessive. The Sec.
retary is direcled to acquire the works by
condemnation, or, in the exercise OF his
discretion, to take possession of the works.
Mr.. Negley regarded the clause as extra
ordinary unconstitutional and without
precedent
After further debate, on motion OF Mr..
Willis, of Kentucky, that portion OF the
clause was stricken out which gives the
Secretary of War Discretionary power to
seize the works ofthe Navigation Company
Pending further action the committee rose
and the House adjourned.

fairs at Stry among the people who lost
their homes by the great fire, is most pit
liable. Most OF the victims are without
food or means and are rendered desperate
by the thought OF starvation. The farmers
in the vicinity have been visited by mobs
Of men who have first demanded food and
if refused stole it. The owners of farms
have now been compelled to barricade
their homes as the only way to guard them
from being plundered of food by the mob.
The search for the remains of the persons
who lost their lives during the conflagra-
ton has been proceeding as rapidly as cir
cuinstances would allow. Thus far sixty
eight bodies, charred so as to make recog-
milton difficult, have been taken from the

and old, who were taken out to escape the

DECLINE La CARPErs.-rhe progress
that has heen made In housekeeping can
be readily seen if the mind is allowed to
drift back a few years. You would then
lind one or two rooms in IA house carpeted
and no fancy ornaments to brightenup the
parlor or sitting room. Now, you can
rarely enter a house that Is not carpetcd
from kitchen to garnet, and instead OF the
women scrubhng and washing the floor,
you will find them at some fancy work, to
brighten the rooms aud make home cheer
full. This il as il should be. One OF the
great reasons of this is the great decline
In the price of carpets, bringing them
within the reach Of men of moderate
means Note the difference. Good all
wool iilling carpets to-day are 80 cents,
then they were 10 cents: Extra Supers
from 65 to So cents, then 81 and 1925; Tap
estry Brussels, 65 to 81, then $l.50. We
have now on hand decidedly the largest
and best stock of carpets we have ever
had, at prices from ~ cents to $1.25. AS
we have no extra expense connected with
this branch of our business. we can afford
to sell them at less profit than our neigh
bors, and will guarantee to save you from
five to ten cents on every yard you buy.
SO all you have to do Is to come and exam
inc our prices, as ii is no trouble to show
goods and one price to all.

came angry because he was not allowed
TO shoot with rifle upon which there
was a magnifying sight. The whole
team were angry. At Martinsburg the
two visiting companies tied each other.
How could the Zouaves be in cahoot
with the HagerstoWn company, when
it was out Of the contest when the tie
was shot off ? The whole truth of the
matter is, tke Williamsport boys were
fairly beaten, and they have not the
manliness to admit 1t. They are, how.
ever, good marksmen, which makes
their actions only the more insignifi
cant and unjustifiable.
