Dr. William M. Heron, one of the Oldest and
most prominent physicians of Allegheny, died

for astronomical research. Among his inventions
was a device in connection with electric lighting

jars kept in constant state Of agitation thus
largely increasing the strength and even the flow
of electric currents.
Prof. Brashear speaks of his old-time friend and
co-laborer in the following manner: IA wise
man and able counselor, a staunch friend. noble
philanthropist and man of remarkable genius,
are about the simplest terms of praise use in
connection with his name.'

the Chicago and Northwestern Railway. One
daughter is the wife of Chief Engineer Rodd, Of

THE CLAIMS OF CHICAGO.
Preparations for the Worlds Fair to be
Pushed with All speed.

-
CHICAGO, October 29.-The Committee on
National Agitation to-day recommended to the
Executive Committee the adoption Of the fol
lowing resolutions:
WHEREAS, The proposed Worlds Exposition
of 1882 is designed 10 be on a more extensive
scale than that Of any former Worlds Fair, and
there is more time intervening for due prepara-
tion than that consumed in the instance of any
such prior exposition; and the ablest architects
and experienced judges in such undertakings
declare that in view of inevitable success, for in
stance, as in procuring the required site, steel
ana other materials for work. in the erection OF
notice needed for many foreign exhibitors, and in
view generally of the stupendous character OF
the projected unaeTtasing immediate actlya nti, Is
some declaring the time Is much too short: and
Whereas, Chicago was the first city to assert, as
ton inteI est to the Columbus fair, and was also
first actively in the field to raise the needed funds
country recognize the right in turn. well the
wisdom Of holding the next exposition in the in
terror, and the almost unanimous action OF City
Councils Board OF Trade and other commercial
bodies of the West and South, indicating an ire
sistible movement Of public sentiment In favor of
continenr because Of her central location and
convenience to the great body Of the people, be-
cause Of the transforatont scii.es oy ish1 ana
and because, as distinguished New York jour
nalist frankly admits, Chicago is miracle among
duct orldis Fair with the utmost liberality,
skill and success: and
Whereas In support Of Chicago as the nations
choice, a sufficient number of Congressman have
already avowed openly their readiness to vote Tor
Congressional recognition, thus relieving the en-
terprise from the degrading necessity of undue
lobbying, and avoiding what would be worse po-
litical or sectional complications; and
Whereas, The issue is narrowed down to success
or failure, depending to very large extent upon
instant action, to render the enterprise worthy OF
the great occasion, and thus to reject credit
rather than discredit upon the nation; therefore,
be it
choice of location for the Worlds Fair of 1892 and
the men and women of Chicago. gratefully accept
ing the general declaration OF that choice and
confidently relying on the promised Congress
sional recognition, now unite In requesting the
ineorporators Of the Worlds EXP osition OF 1892 TO
complete their organization, and to proceed at
once to determine upon and carry into execution
plans for the projected exposition.
The resolutions were presented to the Ex-
ecutive Committee in session and we're unani-
mOusly adopted.

APRoPos of the terrible experience of the
castaways from the steamer Earnmoor, the
Philadelphia Press proposes to take the
opinions Of its readers whether it is right or
wrong for people who are starving to eat
their fellow creatures. The question is a
somewhat CHASTITY and difficult one. As the
vast majority of us are not likely to
have to solve that question, it will be much
more pertinent to take vote that the trusts
and combines on land, which are not starv-
ing, have no right to eat up their fellow
creatures, the common people.

CONCERNING the remark of Governor
Hill that the name of his candidate for 1892
was "a secret" the Philadelphia Ledger
says that the secret is being impaired to the
public generally to the effect that 'the Gov
ernor is for D. B. Hill" That equivocal
way of putting it contains an unfortunate
suggestion of close relationship between
the Governors candidate and the place of
fire and birthstone.

to them the other day, in case where a
stockholder had to appeal to the courts to

The story is being told in Presbyterian circles
that at the last meeting of the American Board
brother who had been sat down on by the
presiding officer was asked later on to lead in
prayer. He accepted the invitation gladly, and
in very fervent way prayed: Lord, bestow
good sense upon our Moderator, for he stands
badly in need of some p
Whether the story is true or not, and it has
nothing impossible about it, it reminds me of
an experience which was actually my own.
In a certain household it was the custom to
hold family prayers the last thing at night. As
rule the paternal head of the family read the
prayers out of an old blue-backed scrap book
which contained some of the grandest invoca-
tions of Gods mercy and most eloquent thanks
givings that ever heard. The beauty of all
these prayers was that they brought peace into
the family, poured oil on troubled waters, and
never could be twisted into personal bearing
Prayers, to my mind, should never wound any
one-it is quite different and q laudable quail
ity in prayer, however, to stir the conscience
n Well, it happened every once in while that
the benevolent paterfamilias was called from
home Whenever this happened the other
head of the family read prayers, and being
rather pious woman and Evangelical in her
leanings she trusted to prayers Of her own
composing. They were not great in literary
sense; neither was the spirit that pervaded
them lofty, but they were terribly personal.
Every person upon their knees in that room
was acquainted with the heinous character of
his or her misdoings that day. The sins were
apportioned accurately and all that lacked of
the complete Identification of the sinners was
their names 1t made that time of prayer any
thing but emollient in its effects. 1t should be
added that the good lady was not the mother
in fact of the children for whom she prayed.
-
ONE night it happened that IN the absence of
the paternal pastor and his alternate being SO
hoarse that she could not speak above whisper,
youth fresh from college was called upon to
offer up prayer. He fell back upon "the gov.
ernor's" blue book for the body of that little
service, but when he came to the end Of the
prayers appointed for that day he could not
resist the temptation to pay back predecessor
in her own coin. He prayed accordingly with
startling fervor for the reform and spiritual re-
newal Of his stepmother; not by name. of
course, but in such way as to make the object
of his solicitude thoroughly cognizant of his
meaning.
1t had one happy result-there was never
prayerful personality uttered in that house.
