Changed by Love.

The following story is told by Dame
Rumor: A fair maiden of Reynoldsville
was teaching school at a hamlet near
this place not many moons ago and a
red-headed, bow-legged young man Of
that hamlet fell in love with the school
marin. A revival was in progress at
the time and the young man was con-
verted and he decided to be baptised
and join the church. The preacher
announced that the y. m. would be
baptised on a certain day. The Reyn-
oldsville girl differed with the y. m.
on the question of baptism and sue
ceeded in winning the fellow to her way
of thinking. If there is ever time in
her life woman can persuade a man
to her view Of matters, 1t is just about
the time he ''pops" the question. "After
marriage business" is a failure. The
preacher had to announce to his con-
gregation that the man had decided
not to be baptised that day. He ex-
planned it by saying that greater power
than his had been working with the
young man--it was love. The girl went
back on the youth and now he has nc
girl, was not baptised and Is not mem
ber OF the church.

A gentleman from Morgantown, w.
Va, was in Reynoldsville last Friday
for the especial purpose Of trying to
persuade Sykes, Allis & Moorhouse to
go to Morgantown and start their
woolen mill. As an inducement to go
they were offered rev building, which
would be built just as the woolen mill

Soured on Shafcr.

About fifty people Of Reynoidsville
accepted an invitation from E. E.
Shafer, proprietor Of Hotel Whitney
at Punxsutawney, TO attend the opening
Of that hotel on July 81. TO make the
affair success, so far as this place was
concerned, the Keystone band was taken
along TO furnish music, which they did
in their usual excellent style. A com
mon meal was served at so cents apiece.
What soured the Reynoldsville parties
was the proprietor taxing the band boys
80 cents piece for supper, which was
paid by ono Reynoldsyille man, and
just before starting home this same
gentlemen asked for box OF cigars for
the band and the proprietor charged
him Sl.75. Shafer did not even thank
the band. Had it not been for the
people from our town he would not have
had much Of a crowd. He proved him
self to be such genial host (?) that all
who were over from here will use their
influence lin n pigs eye) to persuade
people who attend Punxsutawney TO
stop ut the hotel. Hotel Pantal Is the
hostelery of "Punxsy," and Mine Host

who has the mack down fine Of catering
to the public, which most all Reynolds
vile people know and consequently
Hotel Pantal suits them very well.

The County Clerk Petition Changed to
Quo warranto Proceedings.
Special to The Jersey City Neius.
TRENTON, March 81, 1898: The suit Of
R, M. j. Smith for the office Of County
Clerk, took a sudden and strange turn
Yesterday afternoon, the time fixed for the
on the petition for a recount
which r. M. J. Smith had filed against
Barker Gummere. Both the contestant
and the Incumbent were represented by
counsel. Barker Gummere had X-Judge
William Lanning, of Trenton, and ex-
Judge Stevens, of NewarK. and The con-
testant had Edwin r. Walker and Judge
Chauncey Beasley on hand to argue his
side OF the case.
The surprise came by a notice given by
Mr.. Smiths counsel, who asked to with
draw the petition, so that the suit could
be begun by a quo warranto proceeding.
This is regarded as practically an aban-
uonmen of the case by Mr.. Smith. The
change In the character of the suit re-
moves it from the Circuit to the Supreme
Court. ara the process will be just as slow
and tedious.
Some intimate that the change OF juris-
diction was made because Richard Smith
has always been an anti Albeit worker
and did not care to take chances with JUS
tlce Abhett. The course now to be pur-
sued is for Mr.. Smith, through counsel, to
file an application to the Chief Justice for
leave to begin proceedings III quo war
ranto. If sufficient canse is shown, the
Attorney General will file an Information
to which argument must be, made. This
is a slow process and it is pc ssible that it
may drag YEARLY through eyeral years,
Every one comedies that the Democrats
are letting Smith down easily.

They InstiI Wicked Ideas In Child1ike
Chinese Minds.
ssChinese Tear was given In the First
Presbyterian Church last evening. The
tea was called .'Chinese" because it was
rendered to the Chinese Sunday School,.
connected with the church. about which
so much has been said. The Sunday
school has a membership OF nearly thirty,
and an average attendance of about
twenty, Of which number, however,
only six put in an appear
ance last evening. The nom
appearances of the others may be because
they were informed that they would be
required to use knives and forks or be-
cause they had a heavy rush Of business.
Whatever the reason was, only six Celes-
tials appeared TO gladden. the hearts of
their teachers, but those were q care in
themselves. Several times during the even
ing a number of wicked and debased Bri-
gade boys induced the poor Cinnamon to
do things which got them into hot water.
The Cinnamon were armed with brigade
muskets, and gave an exhibition drill
which was worth going a great distance
to see. There was no one present to In.
~terpret the orders which were given. and,
MS each Chinaman had his own opinion as
To what was wanted, the result was that
each Older was executed In a different
manner. There Is no telling how
much the Cinnamon might have taught
the young men In the way of Chinese
military ,actics, if the teachers had not
discovered them and rescued them from
the hands OF young America.

WILL THEY PARADE?
National Guardsmen Favor the Sug-
gcalion-General Wanser Thinks
Well OF 1.-THE New Drill.

The movement in favor Of holding a
parade of the Fourth Regiment, on De-
coration Day, as outlined in The JERSEY
CITY NEWS on Saturday. is the chief topic
of conversation in National Guard circles.
The soldier boys are enthusiastic over the
project, and almost every officer heartily
endorses the plan.
Lieutenant Keim's suggestion to hold
a sham battle Immediately after the
parade, does not meet with the approval
of all the officers. The danger attending
a battle is pointed out by Them, and as
there are several cases on record where
National Guardsmen of this state Were
killed in sham battles, it is hardly pro-
baple that Lieutenant keim's suggestion
will be carried out.
The article in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
has thoroughly aroused the members OF
the various companies aud 1t Is almost
certain that the officers at their next
meeting will request Colonel Abernethy
to order the parade.
Adjutant Gerardin when interviewed
by a reporter of The JERSEY CITY NEWS
Said:-
II think that the plan for a parade on
Memorial Day is an excellent one, and !
would be pleased to go out with the boys
on that day. There is a statute which
says that the regiments in the National
Guard must parade at least three times
ZACH year, but that law has never been
enforced. am heartily in favor OF hav-
ing the Fourth go out on parade,
and hope that Colonel Abernethy
will issue the necessary order. l do
not approve of the sham battle, however,
1T is too dangerous. If the boys would
keep cool it would be all right, bu t
thew cannot A sham battle comes so
near to real warfare that the boys
become excited, 60 into forbidden terri
tory and too close 10 the enemy,
somebody is bound TO get hurt. AT q
sham battle at Sea Gitt a. few years ago.
d rear rank nj In loading his gun ex-
ploded the cartridge, aud a large piece OF
flesh was torn from the leg OF the man,
10 front of him. The injured man, after
lingering zeal deaths door for several
months with blood poisoning, died.
AT almost every battle soma one Is
injured. In place of the battle l would
recommend Il. skirmish drill. The boys
would get practice in loading and nrlng,
and there would be no danger of inJuring
or Killing q man. AT any rate, 1 hope
that the parade will be held"
General z. #. WHnser said:-
81 think it would be a good idea TO hold
The parade, and, it the boys desire TO go
OUT, / will do all / can to aid the scheme.
| do not believe in the sham bait lie, how
ever. II is TOO dangerous"
The captains of the various companies
nave all announced themselves as being
In favor OF holding the parade, u they
will receive tho unanimous support or the
members IN their efforts to secure the
necessary permission.
The members of Company A are very
much In favor of holding a sham battle.
aud If the other companies do not join
them they will probably go it alone.
