Secretary Blaine exercised such great
care and caution In scrutinizing the
new treaty. Had the same care been
exercised by his predecessor we
would not have had any compiled.
tons with Germany or threats of war.
There will not be any secret treaty
this time, and there is no doubt that
everything will be done openly and
above board. AS far as can be learned
this treaty will be more In accordance
with the policy of the United States
and England than that OF Germany,
as Lord Salisbury has instructed the
English Commissioner not to announce
his acceptance OF the treaty until the
feeling of this Government in the
matter was ascertained. He also re-
fused to join in Germany's demand
that the United States should hurry up
in this matter, and it is evident that
Prince Bismarck with two powerful
countries against him will have to &C.

1t has been the practice Of
upholstcrcrs to charge from $50
to $50 for set of linen slip COW
ers. Many customers have not
bought these useful articles on
account Of the price, as it was
about as cheap to buy furniture
as covers. We have reversed
the order OF things. After care
full consideration we have found
the means to put slip covers at a
price unhcard OF before.
We will make a set of covers
for an ordinary sized 7-piccc
suit for $40, material to be i'm

Any one will readily see that it

The covers, as the name implies
can be slipped on or off in a
few minutes. Another reason
in the favor of slip covers is the
cool appearance which they
have tendency to impart to a
room where they are usel.
If your old suit has begun tc

MANY people OF Johnstown have lost

this.
IA lady who had lost her husband and
-four children was gathering together the
relies OF her home when she came across
abe family Bible containing the record of
her birth, marriage, and the births of
her children. A stranger happened to
pass, and, tearing the record out, she
lproflered the book to him. The man hap
pened to be n Clergyman. 'Do you

These people belong to the same class
who are blaming the Johnstown disas
ter, which was clearly the fault of a
soulless pernicious corporation, on the
Almighty. This latter class say that
this terrible disaster was q visitation
from God for the sins of the people,
although 1t is highly probable that
there is hundred fold more sin and
wickedness in some of our large cities
than was ever dreamed of In this
quiet little town OF the Conemaugh
Valley.
How different was the case of that
beautiful young girl, who as the frail
RAFT to which she was clinging was
whirled about in the angry waves sang
in clear voice, which was heard
above the roar of the storm, "Jesus
Lover OF my Soul" And she con
tinued TO sing until her raft was dashed
TO pieces and her voice stilled in death.
That young girl knew and realized
that 1t was mans work that had caused
the disaster, and also knew that In
those terrible hours she had none but
God TO look TO. Those who are now
throwing away their Bibles and trying
TO make themselves iuiidels, with the
other class who claim that God sent
this awful calamity as q Judgment on
the people, can learn profitable lesson
from the sublime faith Of that heroic
young girl
