DIR. Geo. P. Mains, of Brooklyn, n. Y,
recently elected president of Allegheny
College at Meadville, declines to serve

called for July 26.
Ralph Crossmire, convicted of murder
in the first degree, for the killing of his
mother at Farmer Valley, near Bradford,
has been denied new trial by the Su-
preme court. He will be sentenced Sep
tember 5, unless the Governor interieres
which is not likely.
The Boston Traveller gives the follow
ing receipt for driving flies away. It
says "Pick a bunch of sweet clover and
hang it up to dry in your living room.
1t will drive away more flies than any
! one square yard of paper" Persons who
have tried this remedy certify to its etIi-
cacy. Try it.
The end of the quarrel in the Evangel-
ical Church in this State appears to be in
sight. A Harrisburg dispatch says it has
been agreed between the two factions
that the cases in Reading, Easton, Nor
ristown and Williamtown, growing out
of controversies over church property,
shall be argued together before the Su-
preme Court next spring and that the de-
clsion shall be accepted as final in all
other pending cases in Pennsylvania.

or surfeit of summer advice is folly.
Nature makes one season as well as ano-
ther, and no period of the year is calcu-
lated to do harm to the animate creation.
The weather is all right. OF course it's
warm, and if we persist in doing redicu-
lous things in the vain hope of keeping
as cool as in mid-winter we are going to
invite cholera morbus and such little
things that come to tell us to letup The
right way is to take things as easy as pos
sible, drink water enough to satisfy the
needs, eat decent vituals without any fol-
di-rol trimmings to keep off heat, and let
medicines and preventives alone, and
everything will work all right. The
weather is all right
The humbug of the newspaper coupon
contest for "free trips" to the Worlds
Fair is easily shown by analyzing case
or two. An Erie paper has had one of
these contests, agreeing to send the five
persons to the FAIR who turned in the
most voting coupons cut from the paper.
The paper received Sl,6S6.23 from the
sale of papers at cts. each. AS the cost
to a private individual going alone would
not probably be over S75 at most, the five
| free trips would amout to 1915. This
| gives the newspaper a margin of about
Sl,S1l, a large part of which is profit, to
say nothing of incidental advertising.
The contest of the teachers for the Pitts
burg Times free trips to the Fair was of
the same nature. One Meadville teacher
and her friends paid out Sl95.3O in the
contest and lost by 2,4OO votes. A teach
or in Pittsburg who had 10000 votes did
a shrewd thing by selling them for Sl6O,
with which she can do the Fair on her
own hook. The contest business is
delusion and humbug.-Franklin

Pennsylvaniaus think Pennsylvania is
big State, but visitors to the Worlds
Fair will think it still bigger when they
see the newly completed State map, now
on exhibition at Chicago in the Pennsyl-
vania school exhibit. The map has just
been removed to the Exposition from the
| Capitol, and cannot fail to attract a great
deal of notice on account of the size, be-
ing the largest drawing of the State ever
made. II is drawn on the scale of two
miles to the inch, being fourteen feet long
by eight feet wide, and containing one
hundred and twelve feet of canvass. The
mammoth drawing was made under
the direction of Col. John A. Woodward,
assistant executive commissioner, by
| Captain John IL. Campbell and j. Sutton
Wall, the experienced draughtsmen of
/ the Department of Internal Affairs. The
primary object in the preparing Of this
map is to show visitors at the Worlds
! Fair the geographical distribution and To-
cation of the colleges, seminaries, acade-
mics and public schools of the State as
! they actually exist at the present time.
| All the locations of the schools through
out are plainly marked and any single
one can be readily found. The colleges
and schools of Philadelphia are shown in
tabular form on the margin of the map.
1t also shows the county bound views,
| principal towns, water courses and pub
/ lie roads. To person ignorant of the
real educational progress of our State in
all the various lines of mental culture it
