Words are mighty words are living.

Or bright angels crowding round u.s.
With heavens light upon their wings.
Every word has it, spirit,
True or false, that never dies.
Every word mans lips have uttered
Echoes In Gods skies.
l reminded you that the Bible speaks
Of divers kinds of tongues. Let me draw
your attention more especially to some OF
these Let me show you some unruly
tongues that need to be controlled or held.
The Vulgar Tongue.
First, there Is what | would call the
vulgar tongue. | use the word vulgar as
meaning lack OF refinement. Job says
How forcible are right words" Solo
mon says: "A word fifty spoken is like
apples of gold in pictures of silver"
There should be a refined and chaste
beauty shining out in the words we use.
1t is sin to corrupt and adulterate our
speech with coarse, rough, boorish ex-
pressions. The use of slang is what
would call vulgar. l strongly 'dissuade
young people from its use. If you begin
to talk slang you will eventually think
slang and finally live slang. 1t will de-
teriorate and vulgarize your thought and
character. Slang is offensive to good
taste. 1t is to language what discord
is to music. 1t is habit easily acquired,
but difficult to cure. 1t is bad in man and
unpsrdonably bad In woman. do not
condemn the use of word or phrase be-
cause it is new or strange. Many of the
words in daily use we're formerly consid-
cred slang. but after serving an appren-
ticeship were adopted into the language.
The Psrverse Tongue.
Another bad tongue that needs to be
held is the perverse tongue, which causes
"breach in the spirit" prov. xv., A.
There are men and women who allow theiI
tongues to utter and mutter irritating, dis
agreeable words-words that stir up anger
that ruffie the temper and hurt the sensi
billties. There are people who seemingly
delight to utter snarly and naggy words.
They keep every one about them in q fer
ment. 1t is perpetual snap and snar
from. morning till night with them. Il
they don't bite they bark, and show thei
| ugly teeth. There are men who will snaI
out bitter, biting words to their wives ant
children, and wound the hearts that low
them. Such men need to be told very EN-
| phatically to hold their tongue. Let tn
swapping and snarling be done by dogs
men should know better.
The Tongue Of the Tale-Bearer
| Is bad tongue. 1t is one of the hardes

Mr.. Howells Future Plans.

While Mr.. Howells will not, during
1893, confne his literary work to any
single periodical, it may be authorita-
lively announced that he has entered in
to contract with The Lddies' Home
journal whereby his most import.
ant work will, for some time to come,
first see print in the pages of that
magazine. His new novel, "The
Coast of Bohemia" begins in the
Christmas issue of the Journal, and
Immediately upon its close Mr..
Howells will begin in the magazine 4
series of editorial autobiographical
papers, in which he will trace the in.
tluences which led him to a literary
life, his course of reading and his
lavolte authors and books. The
articles will practically tell the story
OF the flmous novelst's life, and
promise to possess in a rare degree
that attractive interest which always
attaches itself to the life of a success
ful man when told by himself.
Howells had his early struggles his
early resources were few, and these he
will trace among other things in these
articles, describing, too how he
mastered four different languages tc
acquaint himself with the literature Of
the countries most attractive to him

CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE MEETS
And Looks Carefully Over the
Ground, Preparatory to Begin
ming the Real Work OF the
Campaign - Bourlle Cochran,
Senators Hill and Mills, and q
Few Others, in Great Demand
All Over the Country.

CHICAGO, September 1.-The National
Democratic Campaign Committee under
the leadership of the Hon. Don NJ. DIclin-
son has decided 10 make vigorous cam
paign IN the Western and Northwestern
States, and will open the political bat
teries about the 10th OF September
The western branch OF the National
Committee held its first meeting in this
city this morning, and later IN the day met
in conference with the National Commit
teemen or their representatives from the
Northwestern States.
There was general demand from all
sections for Hon. Bourke Cokrau, Senator
Mills, Congressman Springer, Hon. VIM.
X. Morrison, Senators Vest voorhees,,
Palmer and German, and Congressman
John X. Fellows, and nearly every speaker
said that II Cleveland and Stevenson could
only be induced TO make tour through
their States the old-time Republican
maiarites will vanish like the mists
There was also q general desire 10 invite
Senator David b. Hin TO make tour
through the doubtful, Northwestern States,
but the campaign committee could give no
indication Of Senator Hills intentions dur
ing the campaign. The general impression,
however was that the New York Senator
would probably contine his political
speeches % his own State.
The campaign committee placed on Gle
all their requests for speakers and will
endeavor TO comply with them as far as
possible.
The matter OF fusion with tho Peoples
Party, or the Alliance In several States,
was freely discussed and the committee
gave its approval 10 such fusion in the Ia.
kotas and certain Congressional Districts
in other States, wherever the fusion met
the wisdom OF the regular Democratic local
organizations. In regard 10 the political
situation generally, Chairman Dickinson
said:
"The West has been carefully looked
over, and we find that the prospects for
Democratic victory in hitherto Repubh-
can States was never brighter You may
say, and say IL as emphatically as you
wish. that there are not and Will be no de

STEUBENvILLR, September Mot since
the bloody McWha double tragedy at Hol-
liday's Cove, over the river, for which
Van Baker is in Moundsville penitentiary.
has there been so much horror expressed
in this city over the commission OF d crime
as was occasioned to-day when the news
reached here that George Feather, we'll
known farmer residing on Coal Hill, In
Cross Creek township, this county, about
two and half miles southwest, had been
foully murdered, his wife fatally wounded,
and his mother-n-law, Mrs. Henry Meiske,
shot 10 death, while the murderer, George
Skinner. was also dead, having blown out
his own brains, after com hitting the terri
ble acts.
The wife of Feather and her mother
were both ill, and Feather himself was lust
recovering from q severe attack OF typhoid
fever, DR.. B. H. Fisher, ofsthis city, was
attending them. This morning he went
out to the farm on professional visit ana
was Mortified to find Feather and his hired
man. Skinner, lyingon the floor dead, While
Mrs. Feather was lying on the bed and her
mother in corner the latter unconscious
Blood was flowing in all directions and the
house looked like a slaughter pen.
The cause of the tragedy seems to be
disagreement between Feather and Skin
ner about money matters. When Faatner
was i'll with typhoid fever last winter Skin
ner nursed him and made the claim that
TWENTY-FIVE dollars was due him for so
doing, while Feather said he did not owe
him ANYTHING, as he was regularly in his
employ and his time and pay went on. 80
much bad feeling was occasioned by this
that Feather concluded he would employ
some one else, and made inquiries OF
George Becker, the milkman for suitable
hand. Last night about nine o'clock he
told Skinner that he would not
need him any longer after this
morning and violent quarrel
was the result. Feathers wife was up
stairs and called 10 him 10 come up TO bed,
and he started TO comply, when Skinner
pulled out a 32-calibre revolver and shot
him, the ball entering his breast and pass
ing through the heart, killing him instant
ly. Skinner then went upstairs and shot
both Mrs. Feather and her mother, after
which he returned 10 the lower part OF
the house and shot himself four
times. twice in the breast, once in the
mouth aud once through the head. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Featener, who does the
talking, he died instantly. AS he lay on
the floor ne was a horrid sight, the froth
running from his mouth and clotted blood
| covering his face and body.
Skinner is from Toronto, this county,
and has four sisters residing there. He
was an unmarried man about 30 years of
age
