OMENS OF COMING WAR.
A London Contemporary Thinks the Outlook
Decidedly Bellicose.

A London Contemporary Thinks the Outlook
Decidedly Bellicose.
From the London Telegraph
We are not surprised that there should be
people who regard the threat of European war
as best expressed by the child's formula. This
year, next year, some time, never" But that
is a childish way Of looking at it. The actual
struggle has been pushed off longer than any
responsible statesman OF diplomatist in his
heart thought possible, and though this cir
cumstance must necessarily render those who
were pessimistic trihe more hopeful they
cannot be so sanguine as to postpone the adj
vent of the dreadful issue to the Greek
Kalencs. The Servians continue to behave in
the most embarrassing manner, and are voluble
in accusations against Bulgaria, and even
against Austria, while they themselves resort
seem, happily, to be moving toward improve
ment and tranquility. and the Sultan has
ordered searching investigation to be made
at Constantinopole into the alleged misdeeds
of the Kurds in Armenia.
At the same time the Porte is rumored to be
disposed to ask Russia for explanations of the
massing of its troops on the Armenian from
tiers of Asiatic Turkey. If this report turned
out to be accurate we should regard it as sig
nificant and ominous. How long will Austria
and Germany allow Russia to abuse their pa
tience? 1t Is believed in well-informed military
quarters that the Allies have all their plans
ready for marching on Moscow in case of war.
But the Czar maintains his sphinx-like atti-
work, he shows no outward sign Of proyoca-
lion.

GOLD IN NEW JERSEY.

Workmen Accidentally Strike Pay Dirt
While Digging Trench.
NEWARK, N. J., September 2l.-The discoy-
cry of gold vein on Clinton avenue. Irvington,
by some workmen who were digging trench
there has caused considerable excitement in
this city and neighborhood during the last few
days. Hundreds of people have visited the
place and inspected specimens of the ore. which
are in possession of Christopher Blake, an
Irvington grocer, and other parties there.
Several pieces of the ore have been assayed
bv Gloreux & Woolsev refiners. The result
has shown that the ore contains $50 worth to a
ton, and will scarcely pay to be mined. Road
master Van Clief, of the Township Committee,
has been instructed to investigate the matter
by digging, but it Is doubtful whether his
efforts will be rewarded with any great degree
of success.

Sixty Years of Progress.

A good illustration of the power of Presby-
terianism in Pittsburg was furnished recently
by Rev. DR.. McIlwaine, long time pastor of the
East Liberty Presbyterian Church. DR.. Nell
waine was installed pastor of that church in
1898, when East Liberty was small village five
miles out of the city. There he labored for
well nigh 40 years. On recent visit to his old
charge he said: There are now IA self-sustain-
ing Presbyterian churches on the territory
which was covered by my ministry go years
ago. Oakland. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, Law
renceville, Williamsburg, Verona and Swissvale
were all in my diocese when entered upon my
work. One after another swarm went out from
the East Liberty church, until there are now
not less than IA churches and several missions
in the territory occupied at the beginning of
my ministry. Though the mother church has
sent forth SO many healthy colonies, her
strength is undiminished."
DR.. McIlwaine's comments on the growth OF
the East Liberty Presbyterian Church with its
IA healthy children, furnishes an illustration OF
Solomon's proverb, There is that scattereth
and yet increaseth, and there is that withhold
erty,n III Y.

A JURY HARD To FIND.

The Difficulties Arising From Rulings In
the Cronin Case.
From the Chicago Tribune.i
Four men have been accepted as jurors in the
Cronin trial out of nearly 400 summoned on
venires At this rate there are about 2, 900 men
in Cook county who are eligible for jury duty
according to the lawyers methods or Judges
rulings in the Cronin case But, notwithstand-
ing this fact, there is the greatest difficulty in
finding even few of the 1000. And another
trouble is that it would not hasten matters any
to take the summoning of jurors out of the
Sheriffs hands and make it the business of the
police force, who are looking for Cooney, Tas-
cott, ct al. The 1000 would be quickly lost
sight of if that were done.

And all its wreath of Tuscan roses.

With lichens gray, carved, stained ana stony,
Twined in love-knot, will he meet

Their names. that have defied the ages;
Traced with his dagger, jewel-brighr

Then pledged himself her valiant knlgns
And swore himself her faithful lover.

With rapt regard, the radiant creature,
And answered with impassioned tongue,
Love limned on every fawless featured
Mayhap they planned the future out,
AS young troth- -plighted people VIII do;
OF course he satisfied each doubt
As castle-building suitors still do.
And were they wed with smiles ana tears,

All wrapped and nicely tied with strings.
And if a man comes near she springs

SOME time ago Major Ben Morgan had q
little niece of his visiting him at his pretty
farmhouse at Remington. She naturally fell
in love, as all who visited Major Morgan were
won't to do, with the big st. Bernard dog "Dr.
Tanner" and little Gyp, the amiable and in
telligent Skye terrier. She was a good little
girl, and used to say her prayers every night
with great regularity. There was one prayer
in which she invoked the Divine blessing upon
most of her relations.
One night she began to say this prayer as
usual: God bless papa, and mamma, and
uncle-No, I'm not going to say all that-God
bless good old Tanner and little Gyp under the
stove"
BY the bye, those who knew him will be
sorry to hear that that princely dog and faith
full friend 'Dr. Tanner sickened and died
few weeks ago, and Major Morgan buried him
out in the apple orchard, where the good old
cresture dearly liked to roll in the days of his
health and strength. HEPBURN JOHNS.
