Here the young men live. Here they sleep,
they eat. They mingle ON terms of equality

beggars and thieves. They attract by being

sincerity of their purpose. They see that
the streets are clean, then they wash the
babies, then they scour the tenements, then
they regenerate a character Now they
save life. Example and straightforward
work do It; no favors asked or given. IL
ls man meeting man ana Christ meeting
both.
Such a work is what the times demand.
But let us give the church, as we'll as the
devil, its due. 1t needs it. II has begun to
wake up. At preseDt, there are in this
country dozen representative churches,
each of which has its carpenter shop, its
printing press, its school for sewing, cary
ing, reading and music, its gymnasium, its
library, its games and its popular lectures
on hygiene. Here is IA grand practical
beginning, and is redolent with the spirit of
Christ.
Not long ago, at public meeting called
to further the temperance movement, one
OF the most prominent Episcopalians in the
country said:
AT last the Episcopal church is wheeling
into lineln
Wheeling into linei Good Godi What is
a church for but to lead the van? That
church Is worse than useless, it is immoral,
that does not supply throbbing, battling
men with wide hope, a high inspiration, a
large welcome and manly example.
The working men and women of to-day
are our shepherds of Palestine. These
teamsters, these railroad men. these shop
girls, these factory hands, these starving
seamstresses these imprisoned miners, have
made hard watch of it in the winter
night, waiting for the birth of a new Christ
life. Our sages and our priuces must kneel
with the working people before the Savior
OF society. The heavenly music which
sings Good will to all men" is Divine
socialism.

SAVED BY A PHANTOM HAND.
Jovenanter Believes Family Prayers
Delivered Him From Highwaymen.

Covenanter Believes Family Prayers
Delivered Him From Highwaymen.
BEAVER FALLS. Jan. 26.-Ethan Dodds.
young man about IS years of age, re-
siding upon College Hill, at the northern
limits of this place. claims thct he had a
desperate encounter with three footpads a
few evenings since. His clothes were cut
to ribbons and the highwaymen escaped
with his watch and overcoat.
Dodds has since then added to the original
tale testimony explanatory of his escape
unscathed. He aft1rms that while the re-
duction OF his garments to tatters was in
progress he distinctly saw white hand
with palm toward him and fingers extended
moving with the knife, and between him
and his person, shielding him from harm.
Dodds is a member of the Covenanter
church, in which his father is an elder It
is also claimed by all the members of the
family, of whom there are eight, that
family worship was in progress at the time
at which the attack was made upon HIM,
and they all firmly believe that this had
much to do with the young mans escape
unhurt. This story is generally disbelieved
here.

WORK BEFORE CONGRESS
WHAT THE TWO HOUSES WILL
PROBABLY DO THIS WEEK.

A Formidable Array Of Bills and Res
olutions On the Senate Calendar
Prospects of a Lively Fight to
Prevent Legislation In the House
Before Rules Are Adopted.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The indications
are that the Senate will devote itself this
week to the disposition of bills and resolu-
tions on the calendar, which now present
themselves in formidable array, covering
fourteen printed pages. First in order
stands Mr.. Morgan's bill to further provide
for the disposal of public lands in Alabama,
and by courtesy it will probably be allowed
to retain its place until the author returns
to Washington.
The bill for the relief of the sufferers by
the wreck of the United States fleet at
Samoa will doubtless be acted upon early in
the week
Otherwise the legislative proceedings
promise to be devoted mainly to private
aims and bills of local interest.
MEASURES WITHIN REACH.
There are several measures of general in
terest within reach. such as the direct tax,
Blair educational bill, and that for the
amendment of the Mexican award conven-
tion act of 1868. But as the Senate is now
acting only upon measures to which no
objection is made they are likely to be
passed over.
There is a possibility that Senator Call
will again be heard from during the week,
respecting Florida swamp lands, and Sena-
tor George may feel it incumbent upon him
to reply to Senator Ingalls, criticism in his
speech last week upon the connection of his
sons with the swamp angels.
II. H., e ~
Morgan to be commissioner of Indian
affairs and Mr.. Dorchester to be superin.
tendent of Indian schools will doubtless be
considered and may cause prolonged debate,
as Senator Jones of Arkansas will lead an
active opposition.

CHICAGO's SOCIALIs rs.
They Put Themselves on Record
Against the Anarchists.

4ney PuC InemS6IVeS on RECORD
Against the Anarchists.
CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-At meeting of So
cialists in Waverly hall to-day resolutions
were adopted calling attention to the dec
laration of the socialist leader, Herr Bebel,
in the German Reichstag yesterday. The
statement of Herr Bebel was that the dis
appearance of anarchists from Germany is
due to the efforts of the socialists,
and that another than the gov
ernment had interested itself in
efforts to support the anarchist movement
for the purpose of confounding its acts and
declarations with socialism, and thus dis
crediting the latter. and that Herr Most's
Freiheit was the product Of secret police.
The resolutions concluded as follows:
We hereby emphasize the necessity OF the
socialists in the United States giving heed to
this declaration OF the policy and principles Of
German socialism; that in this country the
dynamite agitation has no justification what
ever, and its advocates, the Mosts and DeLums
should be recognized and treated as agents Of
despotism and not as reformers; and antagon-
ism between socialism and their reactionary
agitation be kept as we'll defined and aggressive

In the House.

The calling of republican caucus for
Monday night is an Indication that the
House committee on rules will submit a new
code of rules to the House early in the week
possibly Gf the caucus is harmonious
Tuesday. OF course, the code will have to
be printed before being acted upon, !,
which would necessarily throw its
consideration over to the following day.
1t has been announced, however, that the
committee on elections will on wednesday
call up the case of Smith VS.. jackson, from
the Fourth district of West Virginia, and,
as the democrats have declared their inten-
tion to resist to the utmost consideration of
any election case until the House has a
proper code of rules for its management, O
long wrangle may ensue.
NO BUSINESS PENDING.
There is no business pending before the
House, the Oklahoma town site bill and the
administrative customs bill having been
disposed of, and, until the rules are adopted,
any measure which may be passed will be
through discretionary recognition by the
speaker of the members having them in
charge.
The contest over the site for the worlds
fair may be resumed incidentally in the
House if the committee on rules decides to
report favorably upon Mr.. Hits resolution
increasing the membership of the commit
tee having jurisdiction over the matter and
proposing a method for the selection of the
location.

A POLISH CHURCH IN UPRoAR.
The Congregation Objects to Change
of Priests.


BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. ga disturbance
took place at st. Adelbart's church to-day
which amounted nearly to a riot and blood
shed. The church members are Poles whose
priest, Father Klawiter, recently was re-
moved by Bishop Ryan and transferred to
Dunkirk, and the Dunkirk priest, Father
Pawler, brought here. The Poles repudiated
Father Pawler, held an indignation meet
ing, and last week sent delegation to the
pope bearing an indignant protest against
the setting up on them of a priest not of
their nationality and whom they dislike.
LOCKED UP THE CHURCH.
They even went so far as to lock up the
church, which they claim as their own
property, and to sack the school house and
sacerdotal residence of all their furniture
and fittings and store them in the church
pending the pope's decision. To-day Father
Pawler attempted to hold divine service in
the school house, not being able
to obtain ingress to the church, and
few of the Poles entered the house with
him. Immediately an infuriated crowd
gathered outside and ordered the Pawlerists
out.
IN DANGER OF DEATH.
All came except three men, whereat
large number Of those outside rushed into
the church and dragged two of them uncere-
moniously out The other one went out of
the back room door, and, thinking he was
going to be murdered, ran away. Father
Pawler then arrived at the conclusion that
1t would not be safe for him to go ahead
with his devotions, so he left the scene of
action, escorted by a squad of men.

To Our Patrous.

The season Of tho year has como when
money is in circulation, and tho printer
asks that all who are in arrears come
forward and settle. We have boon very
i%ndulgent to many Of II patrons for adj
yertising and job work as we'll as sub
scription. To all who are in arrears a
year or moro we are sending statements
Of their account, and hope that each and
every n will oblige us by a prompt re-
mittance. The printing Of a first class
weekly paper like the COURIER involves
a great deal of exnense, hence the neces-
sity of requiring patrons to adhere
as nearly as possible to a cash basis. No
offence is meant by us in rendering nc
counts to our debtors, and none should
BIO taken. The observance of business
principles, as we'll as necessity, compells
tho prompt collection of all dues. Those
therefore knowing themselves indebted to
tho COURIER for subscription, advertising
or job work would confer a favor by set
Ting at their earliest opportunity.
