The EMISSION" Church is legitimate or il
legitimate according to circumstances. 1t
is legitimate if the Emission" be planted in
a quarter of the city where there is the
promise of growth and the final evolution of q
self-supporting church. II is illegitimate if it
be intended to remain a mission" in which
the socially tabooed and outcast poor. who are
not wanted in the home church, may pick up
crumbs of the bread of life. Many mis-
sions'' are the reserved seats of inferiority.
They at once create and advertise caste. Such
places might do in Europe, but they are I'M
American. They certainly mIsrepresent the
religion Of the carpenters son. of whom it is
recorded that 'the common people heard him
gladly and whose earliest and honored dis
ciples were the poor and miserable and blind
n naked. Imagine 81. Peter in Jerusalem as
building a cathedral for the accommodation of
Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea, and that ex-
elusive set. and then budding up a mission
for Mary Magdalene and blind BartimRus.

The village mail has been borne to the car

fattened upon its trifing contents has been
borne back in pompous state. The driver
springs upon his box. A wicked twinkle
of mock savagery turks within his eyes. His
entire merry, conciliatory demeanor has
whitening jibe upon the village and all its
holding the horses which wish to stay, glibly
return his taunts and jibes. Into this in

1--WE will merely live up to the law and

''Then you are in favor of the Old soldier

How many members have you in your

"That 1 can't tell you. Among the first
members were some prominent business and
professional men of both the Democratic
and Republican parties and even several
leading men of the Greenback party. 1 am
not privileged to give any names, but our
platform is broad and honorable. We are
striving for honesty, purity and re-
form in all political affairs and ask all hon
orably discharged soldiers to enter our
ranks"
"why do you organize outside the Grand
Army and Veteran Legion?"
"You know very wen that the Grand
Army and Veteran Legion do not permit
political discussion, and in order to get the
soldiers to thoroughly understand and unite
them were organized the M. P. G., a secret
| organization for the purpose of advancing
the interests of all old soldiers, without re-
gard to their previous politics or color.
You see, when once we are fully organized,
and have, as stated before, nearly go, 600
soldiers in this State aud about 900, 900 in
the United States, we have to believe that
we will amount to something in the end"

There are lots of smart women in
Maine, but Ashland, Aroostook coun-
ty, claims the smartest of the lot.
This woman is carrying on a large
numbering operation, besides manag-
ing family of children and refrac-
tory husband. She recently made a
trip of thirty miles into the woods to
her lumber camps, settled with her
crew, inspected the log landings and
newly constructed dam, made ar
engagements for driving out her logs,
and then returned in time to take up
the thread of family affairs before it
got tangled. She enjoys the distinc-
ton of having penetrated deeper into
the Aroostook mountains than any
other white woman.

DEATH IN THE " TERS.
4 Disastrous Flood in PennSyt-
c0Hid.

/. The bursting of reservoir nea
Jobnstown, Pa. on May 3lst, caused al
appalling loss of life and the destruc
tion of millions of dollars worth o
property. The reservoir was situated
in the Allegheny mountains, abou
eighteen miles from Johnstown, anC
was from three to four miles long and
between one and two miles wide, con,
tanning more water than any other res.
ervoir, natural or artificial, in the Uni
ted States. All the small mountain
streams had been swollen by continu
GUS rains and a cloud burst on the 3lst
capped the climax and the waters in the
reservoir burst their bounds and the
terrible flood rushed down the narrow
valley of the Conemaugh river, carry
ing death and destruction in it's path.
The towns of South Fork. Mineral
Point, Conemaugh and Woodvale, be-
tween the reservoir and Johnstown,
were entirely destroyed, leaving but one
building standing, where an hour be-
fore had stood hundreds. The thriving
city of Johnstown was waste of wa
ters, which subsidiDg. left mass OF
ruins. The following taken from the
associated press report of the disaster,
conveys some idea of the terrible affair:
Just before reaching Sang Hollow, at
the end of the main line of the Penn
sylvania railroad is a signal tower and
the men in it told stories of what they
saw, so piteous | could not listen to half
OF 1t, and command my attention. Here
are some little odds and ends of hap

out into the river as he could and shout.

with the butt of il plank. She was
plucky girl and stood upon her frail
support in evident obedience to the
Command of the operator. She made
two or three bold strokes and actually
stopped the course of the raft for a few
seconds. An instant, then it swerved
and went out from under her. She tri-
ed to swim ashore, but in a few minutes
she was lost in the swirling water some
Thing hit her, for she lay quietly on her
back with her face pallid and expires
sionless. Men and women in dozens,
and in pairs and singly. children, boys,
big and little, and wee babies were
there, in among the awful procession in
the water, drowning. gasping. struggling
and fighting desperately for life."
The number Of the dead can only be
estimated but will reach into the thou
sands. some estimates being as high as
5000. Men who but one short week
ago were worth half million, are to-
day homeless and penniess. dependent
on charity for their daily bread. We
have not space for further description
of the scene, but suffice it to say. 1t was
the most destructive flood eyer exper-
fenced in the United States.
