The Robson Run U. P. Church, Mononga.
hela Presbytery, will celebrate Its centennial
anniversary October with appropriate exer-
cises.
THIS is great period for Catholic conven-
tions. Next month there will be one of great
importance-that of the Catholic Young Mems
National Union in Washington City.
HIS Eminence Cardinal Gibbons has written
to the Committee of Arrangements for the
convention of the G. Y. NJ. N. u, stating that
he will be present at the convention to be held
October and 8. The Rt Rev. Bishop Keane
has consented to deliver the sermon at the
high mass to be celebrated at st. Patrick'S
Church ON the 7th of October at 9 A. NJ.
REV. F. KEANE, pastor of Sacred Heart
Church, East End, this city, arrived home from
an extended trip through Europe last Wednesa
day. He received the Pope's blessing while in
Rome. and impaired the same to his congrega-
tion on last Sunday at all the masses. The
reverend gentlemen reports having had very
pleasant time while abroad, and comes back
better American citizen than ever, and thinks
that this country is away ahead of the old
countries In every respect
REV. DIR. HOWARD CROSBY, Presbyterian,
of New York City, contributed one of the
numerous letters making up the New York
independents symposium on the school ques-
ton: Normal schools and State colleges should
be extingushed. The State has no right to
remunerative advantages of the higher educa-
tion. 1t might asw well furnish each citizen with
a house and farm. Its only defense of State
education is State preservation, and the classics
and geometry cannot be taught under that plea
THE VINDIcAToR" Is the name of a new
lively little monthly published at Pitssburg in
the interest of English Lutheran mission work.
Speaking of the aim Of the paper, the editor
says: I'VE believe that il our dear Lutheran
Church is to continue in its growth in this coun-
try it will be absolutely necessary to establish
English Lutheran churches wherever an op-
portunity offers. To call attention to the neces-
sity of this work, as well as to the wants and
needs of IT, to acquaint our readers with its
progress, and to create and strengthen interest
in it, shall be the main object always in view.":

this opportunity of congratulatlng you upon the

utility. We must question whether a better il

to hear of its finding place in every Anglo
Indian home. The other brands. we arc sorry
to say, are now relegated to the native bazaars,
and, judging from their sale, we fancy their
sojourn there will be but eyanesCent. We
could multiply instances Gd iRfnitum of the ex-
traordinary efficacy of DR.. Coils Brownies Chic
rodyne in Diarrhea and Dysentery, Spasms
Cramps, Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy,
and as general sedative. that have occurred
under our personal observation during many
years. In Choleralc Diarrhea, and even in the
more terrible forms of Cholera itself we have
witnessed its surprisingly controlling power
We have never used any other form of thie
medicine than Coils Brownies from a firm
Conviction that it is decidedly the best and also
from a sense of duty owe to the profession

ELECTRICAL EXTRACTS.

AN electric indicator of the names OF
railway stations is coming into use in
England. A magnetic apparatus turning
roller on which are printed the names
of stations iu good visible letters is fit
ted over the window Of every carriage
with an electric bell to call the atten-
ton of passengers to the change. The
instruments are connected in series, and
are under the control Of the guard, who
changes the names by a simple touch OF
button before the train stops.
A NEW system of hanging electric
wires over the streets is proposed by a
Milwaukee electrician. A wrought-iron
arch will span the street between every
pair of poles,to keep them from curving
or breaking and to prevent the wire
from sagging. The cross wires will be
supported by two properly insulated
wires suspended from the arch. Guard
wires will be hung from the arches par
allel with and above the traction wires,
so that if telegraph or telephone wire
happens to break it will not fall on the
heavily-charged wire.
AN official of well-known telephone
company says that there is no work that
has such a fascination for women as
operating in the central Office of tele-
phone company. Very few of them ever
leave because they are dissatisfied with
the work. They so in, go through all
the grades and the several increases Of
salary which fall to them under the
length-of-service rules of the company,
get married and resign. That is about
the history of a telephone girl. The
