The Christian Endeavor Society.

Charles Dudley Warner says there
are in the penitentiaries of this
country l4,0O0 foreign born, 1900
negroes and $1,000 native whites.
He thinks crime is a disease that
can be cured by shutting criminals
up like lunatics until they are cured.
The weather prognosticators who
told us that we would have no win
ter, at least very short and very
mild one, are beginning to wonder
what was the matter with their
look-into the future spectacles, that
they could have been so deceived.
But such mista kes are not novelties.
There have been continual repeti-
tions of them ever since time began.
Rev. f. List, pastor of the Middle
burgh L. B. circuit, is a great adyo-
cate of improvements, and, believing
that cleanliness is the next thing to
godliness, he has commenced in his
own church at this place-the inside
of which is being papered, painted,
wainscoted and generally improved
with a new pulpit, furniture and car
pet. This is a very commendable
move and should be encouraged fl
nancially and otherwise.
Judge Dean, in delivering lee
ture to the teachers of Blair county,
entitled Twenty years on the
Bench" said that during his judicial
career he took over $500 verdicts in
the Blair, Cambria and Huntingdon
county courts, and sentenced 1000
criminals TO jail and penitentiary in,-
prisonments. New trials were grant
ed in only twenty instances. Three
murderers were sentenced to capital
punishment. He said he only knew
OF one innocent man who had been
convicted.

There will be an effort made this
year to effect change in the game
laws of this State so AZ to make all
game free on the 1st or 10Th of Octo-
Der. This is what all true sports
men have been praying for, and we
are pleased to see that Senator Hack
enberg and Representative Tool
have enlisted their interests in the
cause IN this connection we would
suggest that Oct. 10 is plenty early
enough for all game, and especially
for quail. as there are many birds ut
that season which are not full grown
and which are slaughtered in their
innocence like rats by unprincipled
pot-hunters.
TAKE YoUR CHANCES. The Attor-
ney General and Secretary of the
Commonwealth refuse to pass iudg-
ment on the matter of the necessity
of township auditors getting their
signature electrotyped, giving as Il
reaso n that they are unable to inter
pret the intent of the law in the
matter. The electrotyping of the
Commissioners signatures cost So.
and if the law We're imperitive on
this point it would entail an endless
expense to the township and bor-
oughs. Hence we would advise the
audit ors, in view of these facts to
"let 'er flicker andi take their
chances.

Lift him up.
Though disgrace OF her Is sport.
Urge your daughters him TO court,

Kick her down.
Though her tear-drops fall like rain
And she never smiles again
Kick her down.

A GREAT CANAL

From Lake Eric to the seabonrd- Com
pnny Applies for u Charter.
OrrAwa, ONT, March 22.-ihere is q
hill in tho Dominion parliament to in
corporate the North American Caual
Company. Associated with Chauncey
Dutton, tho promoter, who is from
Pittsburgh, are large number OF Cana
dian capitalists. The capital stock Ia
$l0,OO0,0OO, The object OF the company
is to build q wide, deep channel with
the fewcst possible locks between Lake
Eric and tho seaboard. The channels
would BIO 80 wide and deep that the
largest lake vesselscould steam through
them at full speed. There would DO but
seven locks between Lake Erie and the
terminals, and but four between Mon
treal and New York, and the locks
would move two vessels at the same
time, one ascending while the other was
descending. 1t is proposed to obtain u
charter from the state OF New York and
make q canal from Lake Champlaln to
tide water in the Hudson river. No
United States charter would berequired,
as it would be entirely within the state
OF New York. A vessel leaving Lake
Eric would descend to the Niagara river
and Lake Ontario, descend the st. Law
renee, the Cornwall canal and Lake
Francis, pass via the Chateaguay and via
st. Louis section and Lake st. Louis and
the Lachine canal to Montreal. Her
time would be thirty-two hours. II she
was destined to New York her total
time would be sixty hours, and she
would continue her southerly course win
the Chateaguay section, Lake Cham
plain and tho Hudson canal and river.

Going ON ut MoundsVIIle-ThG Jury Could
Not Agree.
A case that has attracted much atten-
ton in circuit court at Moundsville is
that OF the MoundsvilIe Mining and
Manufacturing company against the
Marshall County Gas and Oil company,
Several years ago the farm OF j. B.
Hicks was leased by Pittsburgh parties
for oil and gas purposes. A we'll was dry
and about July. 1885, oil in small guam
titles was struck. Two other wells were
sunk on the farm-both dry holes-but
the original well continued to produce
some oil up to 1890 when the rig caught
fire and burned down and was mover re-
constructed. Nothing more was done
and in the meantime tho farm passed
into the hands OF the mining and man
ufacturing company
A few months ago parties turned up
here, having purchased tue old oil leQse
OF the original holder and Mstruggle for
the possession OF the territory began,
Tho decision OF the case turns on the
point Ms TO whether the lease had been
abandoned" during the tine that no
work was done on II, The case went to
the Jury Tuesday morning at 10 O'Clock
and remained out until last evening
when, as it seemed impossible for them
TO agree, thoy were dismissed and a
new trial ordered.
