A Notice Likely to Reach Its Destination
Through This Channel.
Judge White yesterday handed down an
opinion on q question of law reserved in the
case Of c. G. Wood against ex-Sherif Nc
Candless. The point raised was on the legality
of a notice of protest sent through the mail
1t had not been received, and it was claimed
that personal notice was necessary
Judge White ruled that notice sent through
the mail was more likely to reach a man than a
notice left at his residence or place of busi-
ness at irregular hours. The notice, he held,
was legal.

An Institute in Allegheny.

Yesterday Allegheny City revived its old
time custom OF holding Institutes, and there
was full attendance at the High School Hall.
Maybe the fact that there is law in Allegheny
City that if teacheris not present at institute.
without good cause, days salary may be de-
ducted at the end Of the month, had something
to do with the big gathering. This was the
first general institute held in the last three
years, drawing classes on Saturday beng here
tofore on the programme. Superintendent
Morrow spoke on "Composltion," and dwelt
particularly on the preparatory work teachers
should do to make the branch success. Prof.
Espey dwelt on the temptation of teachers
to spend much of their time on home, social
and church matters, to the neglect of their
schools. He spoke at length on the supposed
Gulf stream, claiming there is no such thing,
but simply a general drift of waters toward the
North. An appeal was made to the teachers to
inspire the pupils with love for knowledge;
not to teach abstract facts, but character.
Prof Luckey's talk on geography was inter.
esting, He advocated the introduction of such
subjects as plant life, frost and dew in the pri-
mary grades, and said the whole subject of
geography could be made so interesting that
pupils would be taught to love instead of de-
spising it. The following Permanent Exam
ination Committee was elected: The Misses
Lang and Brooks, of the High School; Miss
Logan. Fifth ward; Mrs. Kemp, second ward.
and Prot. Espey, Fourth ward.
Board Election Matters.
No representative to the Central Board of
Education has yet been elected in either the
Minersville or Springfield districts. Both
school boards meet next Friday evening. Presi-
dent McKelvey will likely have the various
committees of the Central Board arranged
some time next week. The regular meeting of
the High School is on Friday evening" Both
DR.. McCready, of the Springfield: district, and
Mr. Mcmillan, of the Thirteenth ward will be
elected as Central Board representatives. for
both gentlemen's friends won at the recent
election.
A person on the inside gave the following in
formation about the affairs in the Springfield
female one, but they think man ought to be
in control in ward whose children need a
strong hand to rule them. There are three
directors now opposed to female principal
and another of the new directors is Of the same
faith, SO if the citizens want a male principal
elected next June it will be done, though no
change may be made for year.

He Was Greatly surprised.


Probably one of the most surprised
bullies that ever attempted to make
game of man now nui IS a black eye
and a broken nose, down on the South
side where he lives. He was standing in
the doorway of Grand avenue store
few nights since talking with another
tough man and leering at every man and
woman that chanced to pass that way,
when under the electric light which bids
the weary wayferer welcome in front of
the Plankington House he saw what
he was pleased TO call dude coming in
that direction, smoking a cigar.
Dye see ther dude comm, Njbsy ~
he said TO his companion.
Yes; an t'ink it's dirty shame dat
he is spoilin dat nice cigar when he is
only fit TO smoke cigarettes,
sDats a fact, me boy, an I'm blamed
if intend to stand it. Seer"
"What you goin' TO do about itY"
@Just watch me, an if don't have
dat cigar inside Of minute, den I'll eat
me hat, dat's all. :"
As the young man drew near, the
bully stepped from the door, and, APP
preaching the unsuspecting pedestrian,
said
Say, me lad, let me take your cigar,
will your"
The young man, thinking that the
fellow desired light, knocked the ashes
off his weed, and handed it to the stran-
ger, who with smile placed it between
his teeth.
What do you mean by that 2" asked
the astonished young fellow as he saw
the use his cigar had been put to.
@Oh! dat's all right, bub," said the
tough man, dis is pleasant little way
dat have when time hangs heavily on
me hands. Run on home now or your
mother will be worried, seer"
Yes, think that / see, replied the
young man as he stepped up in front of
the loafer, but strange as it may seem
my mother is not in the habit OF getting
worried, and there is no occasion of my
shortening my stay with you. Besides,
! too have a pleasant little way of my
own to pass away the time when the
same hangs heavily upon my hands. II
is something like this"
In another moment the bully was
stretched out on the sidewalk with one
eye closed. and when he arose blow
on the bridge of his nose once more laid
him out. The young man whom he had
sized up as dude turned out to be one
of the crack boxers in the gymnasium,
and two blows of his scientific fist had
been sufficient toput the tough tosleep.-

4 sober Quaker's Little Joke and Its
Disastrous Result.


There is white haired old friend liv-
ing in Chester county whose face wears
an expression of deep sorrow that seems
craven there. Friends who have known
him for 25 years have the first smile to
see ON his broad. furrowed face. He is a
wonderfully benevolent and kindly old
Quaker, especially to the colored people,
who come to him from miles around for
counsel and assistance
There is a shadow ON the old mans
life, of which few of his friends have any
idea. 1t was cast way back in the war
times. His home had been a station ON
the underground railway" and to his
home one bleak night came bright eyed,
ebony skinned little runaway of about ia
years. He was such a quick witted,
chipper little chap that the kind hearted
Quaker concluded to keep him to run
errands and do chores about the farm,
especially as he pleaded so hard TO be al
lowed to stay. 1t was not long, how
ever, before he developed into the most
incoTigible mischievous little "darky
that ever came out of slavery.
Pieadings, lectures. and seedlings had
no more effect on him than the whist
ling of the wind through the trees. A
good birch switch would hold him in
check for an hour or two, but his refor-
nation would disappear with the sting.
One day the Quaker went ON railway
journey and took the little colored lad
with him. On the road was a long tnn-
mel and before they reached it it occurred
TO the Friend that its terrors might be
utilized in bringing about reforma-
ton in the black bundle of mischief be-
side him. So he said
Caesar, have tried to befriend thee
and you give me only disobedience and
trouble in return. Ingratitude is a black
sin and now l fear thee must answer
for it.
just before they reached the tunnel he
rose and said gravely: Caesar, leave
thee to thy punishment.
The train dashed into the blackness OF
the tunnel with shrek from the loco
motive like triumphant fiend, and
when it emerged into the light Caesar
was lying in heap ON the floor between
the seats. They picked him up tenderly.
The mischievous little darky was dead.

Mr.. Moody said recently in a meeting
in Boston: If had 300 such men Just
as those of Gideon, men filed with faith
and enthusiasm, / would upset Boston
and Massachusetts,, yes, the whole United
States.
The singular coincidence was noted,
in connection with the Portland decen-
nial celebration of the Christian En-
deavor movement, that the first society
was started exactly 100 years after the
first Sunday school Robert Raikes's first
Sunday school was begun in Gloucester,
England, in 1871. The first Christian
Endeavor Society was begun in Port
land, Me-, in 1881.

COO Sunday school pupils, 2 church dedi-
cations per day, nearly 1000 young
preachers on trial, SOC, ,350.5OO invested
In church edifices, and more than 200
annual camp meetings.
From the last Statistical Year Book Of
the Protestant Church in Prussia, pub
hshed by authority of the government, it
appears that in 1889 no fewer than 3,125
persons became converts to the Evangei-
cal Church. OF these 2,317 were from
the Roman Catholic Church, 525 had
been Dissenters. and 2S3 had been Jews.
During the same year 167 Protestant pas
tors had died, the average age being go
years and months, the average time of
service 80 years and few months; SO
were placed on the retired list, receiving
a pension from the government. The
average age of these was II and the
average service time 40. The average
number of years spent in retirement by
the pastors ON the pension list was about
seven and half.

JOSEPH SMITHS "sEEING STONE. !"
Green Pebble That the Prophet Cred-
tied With WOndrous Property.

Green Pebble That the Prophet Cred-
tied with a WOndrous Property.
The germ Of Molmonism originated in
Syracuse. About the year 1918 a team
ster in the salt works by the name of
Joseph Belcher, found a peculiar stone,
or a stone that the owners claimed con-
tanned great powers. Soon after Belcher
and family removed to Susquehanna
county, Pa, where Joe Smith was en-
gagged as gold hunter, prophet, and treas
ure hunter. Belcher called his find a
seeing stone.H 1t was green, with
brown, irregular spots ON it, and about
the same shape and size as a goose egg.
In those days the country was very wild
and the people very superstitious, and
strange stories were told OF lost animals
and children that were found by the aid
of this stone. The modus opelandi was
to conceal the stone in dark place and
Belcher's little boy could then see from
Its unnatural powers the exact location
of any object he desired to find. Joe
Smith heard of this miniature infoma-
tion bureau and soon sought out Belcher,
secured the stone, and renewed his re-
otdTCntS.
In 1925 Joe had in his employ set of
men who We're called money diggers, aud
his occupation was that of seeing or pre-
tending to see by means of this stone,
placed in his hat and his hat closed over
his face. In this way he claimed the
power TO discover minerals and hidden
treasures. 1t is said he was insolent,
poorly educated, and very careless in his
appearance.
About this time Smith procured box
of plates, which il is supposed he brought
from Palmyra, n Y, where he lived for
a short time, which he kept carefully
locked They were alleged to contain a
great quantity of characters and hero
glyphics which no one but himself could
interpret. From these plates Smith, with
the assistance of Martin Harris and Oil
yer Cawdry. produced the manuscript
for the Book of Mormon. The book
was complied in a small building on the
Susquehanna River, about two miles
from the sidehill village of Susquehanna,
and was printed in 1880, the manuscript
being taken to the printing Office each
morning, and, together with the proofs,
etc, taken away each night. The first
account we have of Joe and his followers
irving to start colony was in the year
1881, in a remote corner of Luzerne
county, where the climate soon got too
warm for them and they vacated. Their
next colony was near Painesville, Ohio.
The old house where the manuscript was
produced is still standing, and is owned
by one of the ex-ofIicials of Susquehanna
county. Syracuse Journal.
