The Sulphur Balls and Black Diamonds,
two base ball teams made up of the Buck
Mountain and Seyen-foot vein workers in
the Kohinoor colliery, met on the diamond at
the trotting park, Saturday afternoon, and
struggled through eight and half innings
for the supremacy. The Black Diamonds
won by a score of % to 2l and the Sulphur
Balls wended their way home under the
leadership of Loader Boss Dan" COakley

happy backer of the vietors.
The Lost Creek and New Boston teams
appeared on the diamond at Lost Creek
yesterday and started in to give the large
number of enthusiasts who had oongregated
from all the towns in the valley good game
but in the third inning wrangle wa
precipltated and the game broke up.

liar course toward Jews. The exquisite forms
Of gilt-edged vice which render the paths of
life so delusive and destructive to our rising
youth are the product Of our intelligence and
culture unsanctfed by righteousness. And
the libertinsm infdelity and anarchy that
take deadly aim at the foundations of the
state are largely the product of liberty of
thought and freedom of speech and con-
science when unrestrained by the law of God
Our natural sources of strength become,
therefore, sources of weakness apart from
righteousness
If l were asked to point out the weakest
spot in the party polite would say that it is
unrighteousness- want of deeply seated
moral principle that dares to stand by truth
whether she stands on the scafiold or sits OIL
a throne. The greatest need of the times is
not better laws but better men.
We do not need more patriotism so much
as more good old fashioned, command
ment righteousness righteousness whose
taproot draws nourishment from the love of
God and whose branches go up towards His
is the only cure for the impious spirit which
ignores God, tramples upon His authority
contemns His word, despises His church and
finally celebrates His four hundred years of
goodness to this land by finging its exposi-
ton gates wide open upon His holy day and
dares lifting its saucy face on high to His
face. Nor is there any other remedy for
covetousness which is the parent of that
bribery which so frequently turns our halls
of legislation into lotteries manipulated by
rumselers and gamblers, and transforms our
courts of justice into temples of iniquity for
the special protection of Bacchus and his
patron saints 1t is to this, also, that we must
look for the extinguishment of the flames of
lust which are not only destroying the souls
and bodies of its professional victims but are
consuming the nobler elements of humanity
in many who say: "Stoen waters are sweet,
and bread eaten in secret is pleasant" and
which exhibits its refinement of cruelty in
the divorce evil which has grown during the
past twenty-five years one hundred per cent.
more rapidly that the population and whose
dimensions are, in proportion to population,
forty times greater than in Great Britain.
Only righteousness can exalt us above
these things. We place much reliance upon
our common schools-and justly so. But We
need to remember that our schools are the
result of our religion. Public schools exist
only where the gospel preacher has first
pahled aSennren 9 ia,, ai5 ana protestant lands al
that have made any sort of provision for the
education of the masses. Nowhere is litter
acy so nearly universal as in Italy. Bu
however valuable as an auxiliary, we neeC
to know that our chief dependence for th
influences which alone can purify the strean
of life must ever be the church of the livin
God which is the pillar and ground of tn
truth The nation is but an aggregation G
| individuals and has no character save such a
its individuals bring to it. And if the natio
is to become righteous it can be only by tn
enthronement of God in individual hearts.

the Womens Relief Corps and Ladies' Aid
Society, auxiliary to the two first named
organizations, respectively, attended divine
service last evening in body, and the
Trinity Reformed church was taken as the
place of worship, in its turn. Mrs H. X
Merkel, of Reading, was the special soloist of
the evening for the choir and rendered two
sacred selections with marked effect.
The attendance of the respective societies
was large and all the main seats in the body
of the church were required for accommo.
dation. Members of the congregation and
others filled the side and gallery seats and
there was no spare room.
The sermon was preached by Rev. Robert
OBoyle, the pastor of the church. The text
was taken from st. Matthew XXI; 81
"Render therefore unto Caesar the things
which are Caesars; and unto God the things
that are Gods" Rev. o. Boyle said that the
text was the keynote of the peace and pros
perity of all nations and mankind. His
sermon was most impressive and was aug
mented by the introduction of two sublime
poems on the commemoration of the memory
of deceased heroes of the rebellion. He
spoke briefly on the gallant battles made at
Georgetown and Brandywine in the Revolu
tionarv conflict tho Mexican war, and the
,,,. Of the Rebellion, laying speclal svIoss
anon the part taken in the latter by the
Pennsylvania soldiers The services rem
dered by General Meade and Winfield Scott
Hancock at the second Waterloo-Gettys-
burg-were graphically and most effectively
dwelt upon During the course of his sermon
Rev. O Boyle spoke in the most compliment
ary terms of the Grand Army of the Re-
public. He spoke of its origin, its growth
and present standing and declared that its
principles are of such noble character that
the present and future generations are bound
to respect and perpetuate them. He re-
gretted that political parties are making a
football of the organization for partisan
purposes, but took pride in the fact that the
members were not responsible for this abuse.
The question of pensions was touched upon
and Rev. O'Boyle said that the richest and
best country on the face of the globe should
not tender. .paltry sums in the shape o.
|
comforts of home and family and shed theiI
life's blood to perpetuate for the people the
liberty and independence which their fore
fathers had given them. Rev. O'Boyle con
Guided his sermon by saying that one of tbs
duties which the Grand Army has before it IL
to disseminate the principles of christianity
In addition to impressing upon the minds o
the present generation the principles which
spring from the deeds of valor and heroisn
in behalf of liberty and Independence for
government like that of the United State
they should strive to clothe the people viii
the armor of christianity and thus cOmpl,
fully with the injunction, Render unit
Caesar the things which are C@sar's and unit
God the things that are Gods"
As the members of the Post filed out of tn
lchureh they took turns in warmly shakin
the hand of the clergyman.

Political Points.

The Ashland Republicans are a unit in
putting forth the claims of Frank Rentz as a
candidate for County Commissioner. Shen-
andoah has never had representative on
the board of Commissioners and therefore we
think its claims this year demand first
attention, but should the convention decide
otherwise we hope Mr.. Rentz will get it.
We know of no man north of the Board
Mountain more deserving of, or better
qualified for the position.
1t is good policy to keep a good man in
Office when you get him there. Although we
differ politically with him, we see no objec-

one day barely passing above 300. Saturday
the votes piled in upon the contest editor by
mail and messengers at such a rapid rate
that when the count was finished in the
evening a total poll of almost 1000 was
shown for the day. Of these Miss Faust re-
ceiued the most, or 924 votes. Miss Fair
child received $40; Miss Shane, 712; Miss
Stein, 654; and Miss Wasley, 577. This is a
heavy poll, almost as heavy as any made in
one day since the opening of the contest and
is a hint to the public that the affair will be
very lively and interesting before the last
day is within sight. The offers made to the
contestants are certainly worthy of the
struggle.

OBE's OBSERVATIONS.
What He Sees and Hears During HI.
Travels.

Travels.
Having had my attention called to the dec.
laration of a Philadelphia newspaper that
examinations for promotion in the public
schools were periodical seasons of torture for
the pupils placed the subject before Super
iutendent Freeman and asked for his opinion.
At first he answered that the question had
been discussed time and again, and will very
likely always be a subject for discussion, as it
can hardly be expected that system which
will prove satisfactory at all places and in all
grades of schools will be adopted But he
laid stress on one point, and that is, every
lesson given should be subjected to inspection
and the pupil should be examined in regard
to it. Mr.. Freeman says that examinations
cannot be too frequent, yet they may be made
to result in more harm than good When
pupils find that they are not to be examined
on the lessons given them they become care
less. The preparation of the lesson and
mere presentation of it before the teachers
eyes becomes mechanical and the pupil fails
to digest what is being taught But, then,
examinations must not be made instruments
of torture. The pupils must become accus.
toned to them and they should be conducted
pleasantly, and with good Judgment Mucn
is dependent upon the superintendent or
other examiner. He should formulate his
examination in accordance with the scope of
the teathings the pupil has received The
examinations should be presented in the
most agreeable form possible and the pupi
should not be threatened with punishment o
any kind, for this provokes nervousness anC
makes the examination period as the Phila
delphia paper classes it, a season of torture.
