been discharged from the New York Custom
House because they would not work. 1t was
generally supposed that this was among the

it, that the men who are to take the places will
work-at anything except setting up primaries

AN APPEAL TO VOTERS.

Rev. j. ii. Miller Thinks Every Man Should
Take an Interest in Pure Politics.
Rev. J.'H. Miller. pastor of the Buena
Vista Street M. E. Church. delivered ser
mon last night on the subject: Changers
During Political Campaign" before a
large congregation. Mr.. Miller's main idea
was that every citizen should take broad
and honest interest in political issues,
whether local, State or national. He de-
livered an eloquent plea Tor the man of
broad ideas who made it his business 10 be-
come thoroughly posted on the issues OF the
day, and acted in accordance with his con-
convictions. He said he was satisfied
it was a matter of duty that this
question should be discussed from the
take an interest in politics, from the
primaries up to the highest form of cleo
tions. Many men, he said did not take in
terest enough. They were on the negative
side, and neglected their duty under the
plea that while demagogues were in control
they would not associate with them. This,
he said, was an error, as the only way to re-
tire the imposters was for every good man to
interest himself in the questions at stake.
On the positive side there were many good
men who went to extremes. Heated 'argu-
ments and temptations to drink should be
avoided. Every man should act with de-
Liberation and judgment Many times, he
said, men would applaud the questionable
methods and utterances OF party leaders,
when in more thought-free moments the
same things would bring the blush OF shame
to their cheeks The entire sermon was in
the nature of an appeal to the highest intel
ligence OF the people to do their duty hon-
estly and fearlessly, and it was received
with marked attention.

banner week in the history of the piano
trade in Western Pennsylvania. The show
rooms of the Everett Piano Clubs have been
the busiest place in these cities. A constant
throng ofpIano purchasers have been in and
out all week, some making their first pay
ments and taking certificate of member
ship, others selecting pianos for immediate
delivery, and still others yet undecided as
to what they will purchase; very small
percentage of the latter, however, as there
is only one conclusion that intelligent pur-
chasers can arrive at, ter examining the
Everett piano, and the system upon which
they are bought and sold, and that is that
the piano has no superior and the system
secures lower price than it is possible to
get in any other way. The piano and the
club system are deservedly popular. Ifyou

FIVE YEARS IN CHARGE.

Rev. j. r. j. Milligan breaches an Anniver-
sary Sermon to a Large Congregation.
The fifth anniversary of the ordination of
Rev. j. r. J. Milligan as pastor of the r.
P. Church, North Diamond and Sandusky
streets, Allegheny, occurred yesterday. At
the afternoon service, Rev. Mr.. Milligan
preached an interesting sermon on the sub
iect: considering one Another" The
text was from Hebrews, 10th chapter Oath
verse, which reads: "And let us consider
one another to provoke unto love and good
work."
Mr.. Milligan's effort was largely devoted
to review of the prosperity OF the church
during the five years of his pastorate. In
1886, when he took charge of the congrega-
ton, the membership was 233. In 1887 it
was 239; in 1888, 260; in 1889, 264. and in
1890, 255. During these five years 116 peo-
pie have been admitted to the church by
letter and otherwise, while death has made
quite extensive inroads upon the congrega-
ton. The amount ,of money raised for
various branches of work during the five
years was $23,27S. Tn 1886 S4,031 was
raised, and in 1890 $3.50. Rev. Milligan
presented many acts to show that the
church was in fourishing condition, and
the large congregation listened to his effort
with great interest.
