AS predicted In my communication of two
weeks ago, contention has followed i'm our
Sunday school matters. The M. T.. people
organized Sunday school of their own and
appointed 1t on the same hour of the Union
Sunday school therefore crowding the Union
Sunday school out. The Union SUNDAY
school met last Sunday at the school house
with good attendance, and elected the
following officers for the present year: M.
Simpson, Supt.; j. s. Mcbride, Asst. Supt. !:
ID. b. Green, Sect; and A. Simpson, Treas.
The nj. f. people have been holding seryi-
ces In the church every two weeks at half
past two, but last Sabbath after Sunday
the nj. Z. locked the door of the church
against the nj. K. so that they were obliged
10 hold services in the school house. The
church was built by popular subscription
under the management of the M. p, with a
written agreement that any and all denomi-
nations should have the use of the house
when not in use by the NJ. p, therefore
people out side of the M. p. society felt as
ii the M. +. had no right to lock any society
out without just cause.
A PARADOX.
Once loving father of Burton had a
FAMILY OF boys. In order 70 keep them out
OF bad company and to please them he built
for their use sled. The father said to the
boys, this sled is good one, large enough
for you all and you must try to use it i'm
union. Bnt this loving fathers hopes were
blasted. Afer the boys had used the sled
long time together one of the boys thought
he weuld run it alone when the seighing
was good and told his brothers so and also
that they could use it when the sleighing
was too poor for him. In order to avoid a
aquarrel the rest of the boys borrowed a
sled from one of their neighbOrs and used
1t in harmony. Now while this loving
father is looking on at this trouble is he not
wondering whether the one boy will have a
sled for his exclusive use i'm the better world?

GERMAN DAY CELEBRATION.

Some Talk of Repeating the Great Success
of six Years Ago-The nIosr Appropri-
ate Day 10 seIect for Such n Turnout
Some Opinions of II.
Interest in the observance OF the holiday
known as "German Day" is reviving in this
city, since word has been received that a
general movement will be started all over
the country. Preparations are already
being made at different points to celebrate
the occasion with q great demonstration,
and from the tone of the Germans in Pitts
burg it is probable that in the near future
display will be made SURPRISING the mag
niicent procession given several years ago.
October 6 is the day set for the celebration.
1t is the anniversary of the founding Of
Germantown, near Philadelphia. little
over 200 years ago. A member of Rev. DR..
Ruoff's congregation, in speaking of the
selection OF this date for "German
day." said: 'This is considered the most
fitting occasion, because it marks the first
authenticated instance in the history of the
American colonies when body of German
settlers purchased large tract oil land and
built their homes in the New World. 1
cannot say to certainty whether there will
be an industrial parade, grand banquet. or
big outdoor massmeeting, with prominent
speakers and fireworks Representative
German citizens Of Pittsburg declare them
selves strongly in favor OF purely American
institutions, and wish, as far as possible, to
refrain from Indulging in any demonstra-
ton that is totally confined TO their own
nationality. They are Americans and want
to be associated with American celebrations.
The matter Of observing German day will
be freely discussed, and if it is decided to
hold celebration no effort will be spared
to make the demonstration creditable and
successful affair of interest to ALL"
Squire August Ammon, of the Southside,
evinced interest in the moment when spoken
to regarding it. He was Chief Marshal of
the mammoth parade six years ago, when
the day was celebrated in Pittsburg. 1t
was one OF the largest parades ever given in
the two cities, requiring 8 hours and 26
minutes for the line to pass a given point.
The parade was in three divisions, rep
resenting Pittsburg, Allegheny and South
side, each being composed of German So
cieties, lodges and citizens in body.
Mr.. Ammon is in favor of celebration
of the day, but says be Is too old and busy
now to have much to do with it.
F. N. Stucky thought it would be good
thing to celebrate the day, but it would be
hard matter to get anyone to 60 ahead
with the preparations and take on them
selves the responsibility.

RAPID PHOTOGRAPHY.

A Process by Which Two Thousand Can be
Printed Complete In an Hour.
Washington Post,]
A new thing in photography is the rapid
process of printing on bromide paper. +"
By this system, which has come into use
within the past year, it is claimed that 1000
photographs can be printed from single
negative per hour, The paper comes in a
continuous roll, after the fashion of putting
up paper for Webb printing presses, and is
SO sensitive that good print can be made
upon it by the use of q ordinary oil lamp
light.
When many copies of photograph are
desired, a machine for the rapid moving of
the paper is required. 1t is exposed only
for second or two, stopping and starting
about that often as the bolt unwinds, passes
the point of exposure in front of the mega
tive, and passes on into the developing
solution. This process is destined to be
much used to illustrate books and maga-
zines

TERRE HAUTE, August N.-Grand Sec
retary Debs, of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen, talked freely to-day to re-
porter regarding the impending strike on the
New York Central road. He says that when
the strike began the local members of the
Supreme Council, Grand Master Sargent
Grand Chief Howard and himself discussed
the situation fully and decided to
take no part in the strike. These
members OF the Supreme Council
at once communicated with other
members OF the council, all of whom except
Grand Master Sweeny, of the Swischmen's
Mutual Aid Association, acquiesced in
their decision.
''Too much significance should not be
attached to the meeting of the Supreme
Council to be held here Saturday.
Our rules provide that such meet
iingss shall, when practicable, be
held at or near the seat of
trouble. Being on the eve of our annual
meeting, to be held in San Francisco Sep
tember 8. and the members OF the Supreme
Council being widely separated, it
was considered more convenient
to hold the meeting at Terre
Haute. IF the representatives of the
Brotherhood of Railway Conductors who
live in California cannot reach here in time
they will have TO delegate others to
act in their stead. No meeting of
the Supreme Council can be held
unless there is full representation of its
members. Each organization represented
in the Supreme Council must act for itself.
Should there be one negative vote in any
one organization the strike cannot be
ordered. 1t will be seen therefore that the
members of the Supreme Council must be
unit on the question or the strike cannot be
ordered"
Mr.. Debs pointed out the fact that, while
perhaps a third of the railway employees
were not members of the Federation, vet, as
in the 20" strike, the employees OF that road
were almost unit whether belonging to
the Federation or not.
