those whose thoughts run less huently

desire to approach thee on this andevery
other occasion with that reverence which
is due superior excellence and that re-

out thee in the world We can do nothing,
but with thee we can do all things.
When sickness lays it's paralyziDg hand
upon us thou canst provide for us the
tenderest nurses, the most skillful physi.
clans, and when the last struggle OF

least, erect magnificent monument
over our grave, with living epitaph to
perpetuate our memory; and whilst here

It is our glory during the first century Of
our existence, that all Americans accept
in submission and joyfulness the suprem-
acy OF law. Thus our republic has its
stability, not even partially in the tradi
tions of secular past, or in the heredit-
ary right of ruling family, or in the
privileges of superior aristocracy of
birth and wealth, but mainly in the en-
lightened and Christian conscience of the
individual citizen. We have here tenn
poral democracy, resembling in it's sphere
the spiritual democracy OF the church
which recognizes and fosters the spiritual
rights of each individual Christian, and
firmly establishes stability of allegiance
in enlightenment and loyalty of con-

is SO vigorous and progressive in these
United States; this is why you, most

GnBERToN, Pa, Aug. 23.-The tear

n Great Meeting of Idle Men without
Cool Heads to Advise Them.
New York, Aug. 23.-The element
of the restless unemployed began to
move about early yesterday on the
East Side. Essex market police court
was the center of their attention. Their
excuse for congregating there was that
a couple of their companions, arrested
during the progress of Monday nights
demonstration We're to be arraigned.
The prisoners We're assessed small fines
and discharged.
The demonstrations among the unem-
ployed Russian brewers on the East
Side are slowly but surely passing into
the control of dangerous anarchists of
the Emma Goldman type.
The recognized leaders, who believe
in reason, refuse to take part in the
meetings that are being held in the
numerous saloons and halls around
Essex market and it is feared that by
their abstention the more disorderly
factions will get the upper hand and
precipitate disturbance.
Samuel Gompers, of the Federation of
Labor, and several other leaders repre-
senting the unemployed of New York,
called upon Mayor Gilroy to urge upon
him the necessity of opening additional
public works so that work might be
had by some of the unemployed. Mr..
Gompers said that in some trades fully
90 per cent. of the workmen were out
of work. The mayor said that any,
thing he could do in the worl1ingman' S
interest would be done. He then with.
drew with Mr.. Gompers and Robert
Campbell, representing the typographi,
cal union, for private conference.
Thirty per cent. of the printers, Mr.
Campbell says, are unemployed.

When a Rattlosnahe Feels Surprised.

The pig treats the snake with disre-
spect, not to say insolence-nothing
ophidian or otherwise, can fascinate a
pig. If your back garden is infested
with rattlesnaltes, you should keep
pigs. The pig dances contemptuously
on the rattlesnalse and eats him with
much relish, rattles and all. The last
emotion of the rattlesnake is intense
astonishment, and astonishment is nat
ural in the circumstances. A re-
spectacle and experienced rattlesnalSe,
many years established in business, has
been accustomed to spread panic every
where within ear and eye shot Every
thing capable of motion has started off
at the faintest rustic of his rattles, and
his view of animal life from those eX-
pressionless eyes has invariably been a
back view and rapidly diminishing
one. After lifelong experience of
this sort, to be unceremoniously rushed
upon by a common pig, to be treated
as so much swill, to be jumped upon,
to be flouted and shouted and finally
to be made snack of-this causes a
feeling of very natural and painful sur
| prise in the rattlesnake. But rattle
snake is only surprised in this way
once, and he is said to improve the
| pork. Morrison, in Strand

NrTsBURGH, Aug. 23.-At . o'clock
yesterday afternoon a fashionably
dressed white woman and colored
man met and engaged in Il brief con-
versation on Wylie avenue. The wo-
man quietly started on her way. The
man stood irresolute for moment,
then walked radidly up behind his COM

head. She fell unconscious on the
street. The man then turned the pis-
tol to his own head and fired, the bull
let passing entirely through it, tearing
away large piece of his skull. He fell
dead in his tracks.
An excited crowd collected. Friends

of the latter was removed to the

How to Make a wiu-o'-the- wisp.

OF course you know that real Will
o'-the-wisp is the effect of hydro-carbon
gas generated by decomposing organic
matter in a marsh. and in state of
combustion. But did you know that
you could produce this phenomenon in
your own homes? This is how it is
done. Take an open-mouthed glass
Jar and place some baking soda in the
bottom, over which pour a little diluted
sulphuric acid, muriatic acid, or strong
vinegar. Then the jaw will fill with
carbonic-acid gas. Now lower lighted
candle into the gas until it goes out,
leaving the top of the flame still burn
ing upon the surface of the invisible
gas. The flame will be fed by the gases
coming from the smoldering wick. This
Will-o'-the-wisp lasts but a short time,
but it may be reproduced by raising
the candle until the wick relights,
then lowering it again. In order to
make success of this experiment, see
that the air in the room is very still

Union and Confederate Soldiers Meet ThIr-

After n quarter of century a brief
acquaintance begun under peculiar
circumstances has been renewed by
Capt. Creed Milstead, of Portsmouth,

tie of Lynchburg began on the after
noon of June Il, 1864, and lasted two
days, at the end of which the federal
forces, under Hunter, were forced to
retreat after stubborn stand before
the forces of the confederates under
Gen. Early. Hunter, after the bat
tie of Port Royal, where he defeated
the confederates, moved his troops up
the Shenandoah valley, and at Staun-
ton, Va, he was joined by the First
brigade, Second division of the Eighth
army corps. with Gen. George Crook as
division commander and Gen. r. b.
Hayes as brigade commander. In this
brigade was the Fifth West Virginia
infantry, Gen. w. II. Enoch's old COM
pany, and in this company was Private
Creed Milstead.
After the fight of the first day, June

advancing under heavy fife, and with
a sharp and bloody contest for every

He found the wounded confederate
suffering intensely from q gun-shot

and, recognizing his deliverer, thanked
him. Milstead watched over him

to the surgeons the next day. Since that
time Milstead has never seen the man
he rescued. In fact, a correspondence
