BELLEFIELD CALLS A PASTOR.
Rev. Henry Thorn McCleIIand, d. D., Chosen
to Take Chancellor Hollands Place.

Rev. Henry IhOrn McCleLand, u. D., Chosen
to Take Chancellor Hollands Place.
The Bellefield Presbyterian Church did not
wait long to call a successor to Chancellor Hol-
land, its late pastor. At a congregational
meeting held last night 1t was decided to call to
the pastorate of the church Rev. Prof Henry
Thorn McClelland, DID,, now teacher of didac-
tic theology in the Western Theological Semi.
nary. There is good reason TO believe tlfst
DR.. McClelland will accept the call and thus
there will be sort of compensation in the
Western Theological Seminary filling the
vacancy caused by the draft of the Western
University. ....
DR., McClelland was born in Westmoreand
county Pa, January T. lS49 and studied the
ology in the Western Theological Seminary
after graduating from Washington and Jeffer-
son College in 1875. He was . teacher and q
missionary until 1878 He was licensed to
preach in 1877 by the Presbytery of Clarion.
He was pastor at Montour, Pa, from 1878 to
1881. Then he took charge of the Sixth Pres
byterian Church of Plrtsburg, Pa, and re-
manned there until 1856. when he was elected to
the chair of theology in the Western TheOlogi-
cal Seminary. He has been there ever since,
except IN 1889, when he made tour of the con-
tinent. 1t is not known who will be his success
at the seminary.
Just before the meeting last night Thomas
Wightman called on Chancellor Holland and,
in behalf of the congregation of the Bellefield
Church, presented him with substantial sum
of money. The Chancellor responded in ap-
prcpriate terms, thanking the congregation for
their kind remembrance of him.

Coraopolis Strikes scheme for Keeping
Her Roads in Repair.
Coraopolis borough is medtating project
which attorneys say will cause the village
trouble if persisted in. The residents find it
next to impossible to keep their streets in pas
sable condition, and the people complain that
not only do oil men do the mischief. but after
doing it threaten to sue the corporation for
damages when accidents occur Accordingly a
movement is on foot to levy vehicle tax on
oil-materal haulers-on these alone. A. ID.
Guy states that the proposition is to make the
tax IS on single horse teams. IS on two-horse
and $40 on four-hOrse teams, the jump from SS
to $40 being on account of the big teams doing
the principal injury to the roads.
Now, the lawyers say that while the borough
may impose vehicle tax on people residing
within its limits, it cannot single out the profess
sional teamsters, as is proposed, even admitting
that such taxation would be equitable. 1t Is
against the principle on which the Constitution
says taxation must rest

LINCOLN THE COMING MAN.
Colonel Reed Thinks Old Abe's Son VIII
Be the Next President

"Blaine is not in it." remarked Colonel W. H.
Reed yesterday. referring to the Presidency.
He has too many personal friends aud it is the
rule for the people not to elect popular man.
l think Robert Lincoln will be the winner. He
has grown up with the Government, knows the
needs of the people. is capable and honest, and
represents the best type of Americanism. Out
side of being the son of Old Abe he is great not
because his father was before him, but for
the reason that he is able. +-.. f..
Lincoln is the coming man. He is from a
doubtful State, and has clean bands. He has
been, ,shrewd enough not to ally himself to any
faction. and he has not expressed his opinions
on public questions"

Not Much Consolation for Victims of the Hot
Weather.
AS if to add to the retrospective misery of NOR
tails with the prediction that the summer will
be hot now comes the information that lemons
in July will be scarce and very high in price, so
far out of sight, indeed. that at a nickel glass
there will be no profit in the business for the
venders. Cocktails at this rate will be ad-
vanced. or patrons will have to take their eye
openers in the morning without the favor of
the lime.
Il dou't think said Tony Barcky last even
ing. "that the high prices will knock out the
lemonade stands. The owners will make up for
lack OF lemon juice with the cheap extracts.
Lemons sell now for "a 50 to S6 50 per box, but
in three weeks the price will be up to S. BY
July they cant't be bought for less than Sl3 per
box The severe frosts have ruined what we
call the November cuts, which produce the
best lemons Spectators in New York are
buying up the crop and holding them for hot
weather. The demand for lemons during the
grip epidemic was greater than ever saw it
for the months of February and March. Many
people drank the juice in preference to
whisky"

PRAISE FOR HARRISON.
Major Bryner Claims the President Is a
Broad Man.

"Harrison is not popular man. said Major
B. c. Bryner yesterday. 'but he has big heart.
HIS great drawback is that he does not know
how to show it. He will surely be nominated;
the Republicans can't afford to turn him down.
The politicians don't like him. because they
can't work him, but the people look beyond
them at the man. The President is working
for the citizen and the sensible voters know it.
Harrison is a broader man than people give
him credit for. The facL that he affords Blaine
the opportunities to introduce his ideas shows
this, when everybody knows that word from
the President would kill all the trade schemes
of the Secretary. 1t is useless to assert that
Harrison is not an able man, and he will be re-
elected.n
