The remark was addressed by an At
lanta Constitution reporter TO an aged
negress who was climbing the hill in
the direction Of Spellman seminary
with a slate and a lot of school books
nnder her arm.
"Gwine to school, chile"
''To school, at your agel"
"Oh, amt quite GO yet" she said,
her eyes twinkling through a pair of
steel trimmed glasses and her gray hair
clustering around her wrinkled brow
in a regular Uncle Remus looking
manner.
''Oh, yes, Use gitten de hang er desc

History Of the Arab Horse.

Wilfrid Blunt, a noted English
breeder Of Arab horses, gives it as his
opinion that the Arab belongs to the
original wild races of Africa rather
than of ASIA, and was introduced to
southern Arabia by way Of Abyssinia,
whence it is historical that he spread
northward. He was not known in
Europe before the Mohammedan con-
quest, but since :hen his blood has
spread through all lands visited by
communication with Mecca. through
the pilgrimage. The Barb of north
Africa, the Andalusian horse ofSpain,
the Turk, the Persian and the Turco.
nan have been all largely infused for
centuries with Arab blood. The first
Arab blood in England was probably
brought through Spain and France,
and later from Palestine, by the cru
.aders New York Times.

nAncing Giants Of fhe De.ert.

Curious atmospheric conditions of
the desert and high plateaus at certain
seasons OF the year produce strange
phenomena but little understood ex.
cept by persons who have long lived
in those regions. The dry weather in
Nevada has produced a host Of giant
dancers there. Formerly they ap.
peared only in the spring, the Perane-
gat and Humboldt valleys being their
rendezvous. Now they are down in
Lyon county, far to the southwest.
These dancing giants, or waltzing
sand augers," said Judge Kelly of
Phoebe yesterday, ARE puzzlers TO all
scientists. How they brace up and
hold together SO long is what gets
them. On quiet. sunny day you see
a little handful of sage brush soar
aloft on a light breeze. Some more

and then your body, and then the
sand and rocks and soil by the bushel

Horses sniff the air and get wild when
they see them. The augers tear up
the hillsides, smash houses like a cy-

their force, quit s~ashaying and have
lost their cohesive powers, they go al.

FRIDAY, April 1850.

THERE seems to be new aud unex-
pected danger in store for Boss Quay.
There is probability the details of his
deal with the liquor men will lie made
public. A Philadelphia correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun says; "By this deal
prohibition was to be defeated conditional
on a contribution of $45, 900 by the liquor
men to the Harrison campaign fund. On
account of this dl ain upon their resources
the liquor men ran out of money and bor-
rowed 5000 from Moore g. Sinnott to
finish out the campaign. Forty per cent.
of this amount was to have been paid by
the Liquor Dealers association and sixty
per cent by the Brewers association. The
liquor dealers paid their share, but as the
brewers did not settle, Moore & Sinnott
have sued to recover from them the sum
of $22, 800. Unless this amount should
be paid the whole story of QuaY's double
dealing may get told in court"

A PROMINENT DIVINE IN TROUBLE

Rev. Edward Mason of the Progressive
Brethren Church Says he Is a FOrger and
alks of SuicIde-Formerly Editor of the
Church Paper-What the Members Here
Say of Him.
The following dispatch was received
: from Dayton, OLio, Saturday:
Letters have been received from Rev.
Ward Mason, of Miamisburg. pastor of
the Progressive Brethren Church at that
place, confessing that he is forger and
that he is on his way to Wales to claim an
inheritance failing in that, to kill him
, self. He leaves wife in destitute con-
dition, he having squandrred small in
heritance of hers. He left home April 3d
saying he was going to st. Louis to preach
at funeral, but instead he went to New
York, from which place he wrote to his
wife and others, making the above state
ments. He forged notes and borrowed
money from a number of banks. The
amount is not known and it is mystery
what he did with the proceeds. Rev.
Mason had high standing in religious cir
ces, and is an author of some repute. 1t
is said he was addicted to the use of
opiates."
The Rev. Mason referred to above is
Edward Mason, who in connection with
Rev. A. L. CARRIER for several years, ed
tied the PrOgresjce Christian at cash
land, Ohio, The leading organ of that
church. He is well-kuown to the frater-
nifty and leading members of the church
here who were spskon to about the matter
felt very much aggrieved to learn of his
downfall. He was a man of bright attain
ments and considerable prominence in the
church. Before, and during his connec-
ton with the paper his writings attracted
considerable attention which were gener-
ally printed over the name of Nosam," !"
this being the reverse spelling of his
proper name. He was also the author of
a work on the ordinances of the church.
Several of the members who were spoke n
to here said that while they were aggrieved
they were not so much surprised at the
news, as it had been well-known by prom
lnent men in the church for some time
that Mason had not been conducting him.
self as he should. They acknowleded
that the reflection would not be pleasant,
but as Mason had disposed of. all his in
terest in the paper some time ago, the
church as a body would not suffer.

You need not wonder that disaffection is
spreading rapidly throughout her borders
in manner that may render even her al
legiance doubtful. The outlook for 1899
is even darker. Were the Presidential
election to take place tomorrow there
could scarce be doubt of Democratic sue

as friend, to reflect that this has been
your work in one short year of misused
power.
If this retrospection should bring with

have before you three years which may
be fruitful for good. Bear in mind that
"taithful are the wounds of friend, but
the kisses of an enemy are deceitful."
Discard the advisers who are Turing you

plication of conscience to public affairs,

Apply to your public duties the high
standard of morality to which you adhere

A NEW ANNIVERSARY.

Having by appropriate inaugural cere-
monies and with public demonstration
that reflected credit ON all who originated
and participated IN it, put the municipal
affairs of our new city into successful
operation, the next thing in order is to
turn our thoughts to the first anniversary
OF the event that has given historic i'm
mortality to the Conemaugh valley.
Leading events in the history of all
nations and communities. whether the
events were regarded as good or bad, as
instruments of happiness or misery, have
been commemorated by some kind of
annual observanceS. 1t is custom that
Las come down to us through all past
ages, sanctioned by the example of the
wise and good. Days and seasons, rem
de1ed memorable by great blessings or
disasters, should never be forgotten.
In our nation we, in common with the
rest of the civilized world, observe the
annual recurrence of new year, and of
:he day made memorable by heavens best
and greatest gift, Jesus of Nazareth.
And IN addition to which, we have
anniversaries peculiar 10 our own history
such as the Fourth of July, the
day that gave birth to our National exist
ence, and Decoration Day, that commcm-
crates the heroic deeds of the thousands
OF patriots whose lives were sacrificed in
the bloody strife to perpctuate our Ma.
tional life.
Humanity civilization and Christianity
unite in recommending the propriety of
suitable ceremonies to commemorate the
anniversary of an appalling disaster such
as befel Johnstown and vicinity on the
31st of May, IN the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and eighty.nine,
1t was an event in our history that should.
as it unquestionably will, live in the
memory of all who witnessed it. But
when those who passed through it with
their lives, have gone to their eternal rest.
1T is something that should be known and
talked about by our chiIdren's children
through many succeeding generations. 1t
marks new era in the history of Johns
town and the whole Conemaugh valley.
A memorial day with appropriate
ceremonies, would serve to keep future
generations in remembrance of one of the
most remarkable events in the history of
any portion of our country. AS in the
institution of the worlds famed Jewish
Passover, 1t shall come to pass when
your children shall say unto you, what
mean ye in this service? that ye shall

HE GOT THERE.
The Connecting Link " and the MissIn
Link Found.

The Connecting Link and the Missing
Link Found.
TO tite Editor or the JohnStOtoa Democrat.
see by your valuable paper of Friday
that DIR. James JeIomini Fronheiser,
Superintendent of the Cambria Iron Com
pany, has at last been made School
Director from the Third ward of Johns
town. That was laudabe ambition. 1t
appears that Mr.. Gottleib Bantly, THAI
public spirited and whole.souled and gem
erous citizen, who was the School
Director from the Third ward, has re-
signed so that Mr.. Fronheiser could be
elected to that important place. Do you
know, Mr.. Editor, that a horrible sus-
picion flashes across my mind that there
is some mysterious connecting linkn
between Fronheiser and Bantly, or is it
only some Illusion of the imagination 1t
strikes me, however, that Bantly and
Fronheiser are familier names, and that /.
have heard them before.
Of course the School Director of the
borough of Johnstown knew that the Su-
perintendent % the Cambria Iron Compa.
ny was not citizen of the Third ward,
because he had been serving with them
as member of the Board from the Second
ward; but as they are about to lose con-
troll of good thing they are willing 1t
seems to demean themselves and violate
their consciences by tricky and illegal
action in hopes that this fraud will still
give them a little longer lease of power.
The Johnstown Directors knew when they
appointed DR.. FronheIser as a director
from the Third ward that it was not
legal appointment, or if it was that he
had been sitting with them for ten months
as an illegal director. 1t is not material
which way they look a. it. | would
ask that Board if they think it is a proper
thing to do to elect or appoint man
School Director who will hold an office il.
legally for ten months, and then
only surrender it to s, cure the same posi-S
ton from another ward.
l begin to think it good thing for the
people of this place that the power of
these School Directors is drawing rapid
ly TO close. hope that the bitter parti-
sanship that for many years has been
observed in the Johnstown School Board
will not be copied by the new City School
Controllers, and that they will not dis
grace themselves by trying to bolster up
fr udulent aspirant for place among
them, simply because by some inscrut-
able reason he holds high position.
said that there was connecting link
perhaps, | should Lave said a missing
link between Bantly and Fronheiser, and
that missing link has been found in the
person of Supt. t. b. Johnston who will
be an aspirant before the City Controllers
for Superintendent of the new city
schools. How many of the new School
Controllers will vote for this bitter and
bigoted partisan Will their names be sur
rounded with black lines and will they be
politically buried? hope not, but those
who do so will be politically damned in
