Presby terrain Sunday School.
The auditorium of the Elkton Presby-

MEDIATE the large congregation that
assembled on Sunday evening to witness
the Children's Day celebration by the
! Sunday School. Many were turned
away disappointed at not gaining an
| entrance, as the services were OF an
+ unusually pleas ing character and highly
appropriate to the occasion. Potted
plants and cut flowers adorned the pull
pit in profusion and the special music
! was excellently rendered as was the
program throughout. The addresses of
| the evening was delivered by the Rev. |.
L. Wood, pastor of the Elkton NJ. Z.
| Church whose remarks were upon The
Children as Jewels of the Church" In
point Mr.. Wood remarked that Jewels
possessed the elements OF beauty which
however might be spoiled in polishing,
so children essentially beautiful may be
spoiled in training. All effective training
must lead to Christ. Jewels, he further
stated, were often found in out of the
way places as is demonstrated in some
of the brightest men having come from
the most unpromsng homes in child

There are always some tricks
In that musical six,
The club OF young mOonshineTs here,
They are sly as mouse,
When they call at some house,
And indulge their musical cheer.
For there they will sing
And their gay voices ring
Sometimes it amounts TO below,
But the object of the roam
At last comes home,
When each girl gets her fellow.

BABY AND HIS CAT.
The Unwonted Sight Which Attracted All
Eyes ON "A Crowded Street.

The sidewalk was filled with hurrying
people Three peddlers stood on the curb
one with shoelsces, another with candy, an
other with gold paint. Neither looked as
II he expected to sell anything. Nobody
paid the slightest attention to them. A
man without legs came stumping over the
sidewalk. People merely hurried out of his
way. A man passed, dressed in outlandish
garments, advertising a patent medicine.
Nobody looked twice at him. An old won-
an whose tangled gray hairs were blown in
the wind shuflied feebly along, and nobody
saw her. A pair of Chinese, an Italian
woman dressed as for fete, negro nearly
feet in height, a Turk swaddled in turban
and baggy trousers, a drunken woman, a
man with locomotor atnxia-all passed
within few minutes, and nobody stopped
even for moment to look at any body else,
except the beggars, and they were utterly
disregarded.
Then appeared from somewhere, as II out
Of a hole in the ground, a child about 9
years old, ragged and smeared as to its
hands with mud and as to its face with
traces of bread and molasses, besides plain
dirt Its hair was tonsled, and its large
blue eyes were fixed straight ahead with all
that sweet unconsciousness of childhood
written of by poets. In it's hands it carried
a gray striped cat. One little fist grabbed
the loose skin at the nape; the other grasped
it firmly over the hind quarters. Each par
ticular leg of the cat stuck out straight and
rigid. Each claw showed its shining curve
The cat did not appearto be uncomfortable,
and the child was gloriously unconscious
of everything but its own baby thoughts
The child was so young that it went un-
steadily tottering down the middle of the
sidewalk, with the cat held up in front of it
like drum majors staff.
There was not one hurying wayfarer-
man or woman-who did not pause and
laugh. A number stopped short and fol-
lowed the child as it staggered along. BY
the time the baby had Travelled half block
it had an escort of 90 grown persons besides
the swarm of boys The baby tottered
along, its magnificent gravity undisturbed,
and when a breathless, bareheaded woman
came running and snatched up the young
explorer (still holding on bravely to the cat)
each person in the crowd looked shecpish
and hurried away.-New York Times.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Sept. ia gale
swept the Cherokee strip yesterday, lift
ing great volumes of the black dry earth
and tearing tents away from their fasten-
ings. Tented towns were laid low by the
wind, and little progress was made by the
army of town builders Thousands of peo-
pie have already moved out Of the land of
promise. Many have lost the prizes they
raced for last Saturday, but many others
who had undisputed possession of farms
abandoned their claims TO return TO their
old homes, thoroughly disgusted with tho
country
Reports coming in today are all to tho
effect that the choice claims in the strip
were all taken by boomers Those who
made the great race honestly last Satur-
day found the bottom lands all taken, and
in many instances men were at work plow-
ing, or a house about completed of sods or
boards These boomers have prolited by
their Oklahoma experience. 1t will beim-
possible to convict them Of perjury this
time. They all will have their witnesses
on hand to swear each other out, and the
man who had the swift race horse will
have no show.
Near Blackwell four quarter sections

claims were valuable and the racers pro-
ceeded to drive the sooners away, and
fight ensued in which three men were
killed. The dead are Arthur johnson, of
Pueblo, Colo. George Childs, of Valley
Falls, S. D., and James Squires, of Heen-
essy, o. T., all sooners.
A large mass meeting was held here last
night, and resolutions were adopted de-
lmanding the surrender TO the civil author
tiles of the soldier who killed J. A. Hill at
the line of the Chillooco reservation Sat
urday afternoon. The officers of the Third
cavalry persistently decline to give tho
name of the soldier who did the shooting,
claiming that in killing Hill he was sim
ply obeying orders. The remains of the
dead man have been shipped to his former
home in New Jersey.
Numerous prairie fires have been the
cause of more deaths than have six shoot
ers, and many charred bodies on which
there was nothing to identify them have
been found on the prairies.

"During the century which has passed
since Washington stood where we now
stand the world has watched with wonder
and amazement tine marvellous growth and
development of our country. In all that
constitutes real greatness, the United
States Is today the foremost nation of the
earth"
The shadows of the great building were
falling well toward the east when Presi-
dent Cleveland presented Associate JUS
tice Brown, who represented the supreme
court Of tho United States in the cere-
monies. Justice Brown has deep, melo-
dious voice, and easily made himself
heard.
AS the hour was growing late Commits
sioner Parker, representing the board of
commissioners Of the District of Columbia,
Immediately followed Justice Brown. The
ceremonies of today would, he said, oc-
cupy an important spnce in the history of
the country, and would be of unusual in
terest to the people of the whole and as
well as to the citizens of Washington. 1t
was an event of more than local import
nnce. To speak of London was to speak
of England. The name of Paris covered
that of France. To refer to Austria,
Vienna only had to be mentioned And
Rome, with her eternal hills oyershadow
all Italy. And so every citizen Of the
Udited States Is thrilled with patriotism
at tho mention of Washington. After
summarizing the history of the founding
and growth of the national capital, and
eulogizing its broad streets, beautiful
parks and public and private schools, he
declared that Washington had more than
realized the hopes Of its founder and was
the ideal city of the world
Following Mr.. Parker's speech, the Ma
rine band played America" and the
crowd dispersed the president receiving
round Of cheers as he entered his carriage.

sented by consul, and the district attorney

however, Colonel Bosbyshell was sworn,
and testified that the value of tho gold
still missing was about S2s,0OO Bail was
then fixed at $50, 600, in default of which
Cochran spent the night in Moyamensng
