A CORNER STONE LAID.
New Church of the Pottsville United
Evangelicals,

EvangelicalS,
The corner stone of the new United
Evangelical Church at Pottsville was laid
yesterday with the usual impressive and
beautiful services for such joyous occasions.
A large canvas tent was erected over a plat
form built for the occasion, and under this
covering at 10 o'clock A. NJ. every available
seat was occupie1.
At 1890 A, NJ. the Sunday School, under
the direction of Mr.. Val ohoenberger,
opened the services by singing. This was
followed by prayer. Then came a song by
the church choir. Rev. G. S. HameD, Of
Reading, next delivered a mastery and
forclble sermon. The morning exercises
were then closed by a free parliament by
the congregation, several members of which
took part.
The cornerstone laying ex rcise proper
started at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon. Black
clouds which had heen lowering overhead
all day wore a threatening appearance and
by 4 O'Clock a drizzling rain started to fall.
After the song service by the choir under
the leadership of j. Harry Super, the in
vocation by Rev, A. H. snyder, Scripture
lesson by Rev. j. Max Lonsdorf, singing
by the Primary Sunday Scuool, addresses by
Revs. NJ. j. frey, d d, and J.. Il. East
man, the formal laying of the cornerstone
wa begun.
Rev. I. S. Hamen, accompanied by Rev.
Il. W. Behney, pastor of the church, ahC
several other ministers, proceeded to tht
place where the stone was to be laid. By
this time the rain was drCpping somewha.
faster aud the corner. stone laying program
was shortened. Despite the inclemen.
weather at least a thousand people haC
assembled to see the event.
After a hymn had been sung and
prayer read, Rev. G. S. Hamen struck th,
stone and laid it in position in the name o
the Father, Son aud Holy Spirit.
This was followed by the reading of tn,
corner stone laying declaration, by Rev. H
w. Behney.
The amount of money collected for tn,
building fund was very liberal on the par
Of the congregation and strangers. In tn
morning $500 was given and in the after
noon and evening $516.

ROSE COSTUME.

ply to the new fabrics for the purpose, as
these are of the gossamer description, and
the veil itself is so hung that it clears
these features and minds its own business
only, and hat is to guard the complexion
from the sun and wind. The Partisan
wells are all rounded off and have a narrow
border, %scalloped. The most becoming
have spots at wide intervals. White wells
with black spots are very becoming.
Women who wish to keep their bodices
fresh and in proper shape should suspend
them over a coat hanger when they are
not in use. If room for that canno be
afforded, loops of tape should be sewed on
the inside of the armhole, at the under
arm seam, by which to hang them up.
Sleeves continue to expand, and to so
great an extent have they blossomed out
that even in thin goods they require a fit
ted lining in order to maintain their posi-
ton and putfiness. A great deal of trim
ming is often employed upon the upper
part, but the portion which covers the
forearm is left comparatively plain.
Stripes are much worn this season. They
are seen in all sorts of goods-in muslin,
silk and woodland are becoming to most
women except those of extremely tall and
slender figure. In skirts the CORES are so
arranged that the stripes form vandykes,
while in sleeves the stripes are bias at the
upper part.
The cut shows athin costume, the godet
skirt of which is of emerald and rose silk
in wide stripes. The blouse bodice is Of
white silk gauze over a close lining Of rose
silk. 1t is shirred around the collar and
across the bosom under bands of pink
roses with foliage. The soft belt of rose
silk fastens und3r a knot at the side. The
elbow sleeves are of gauze over silk and
have a double ppff. The white straw hat
is adorned with pink ribbon and large
pink peoples with jet middles.

LANCASTER, Pa, July 1.-Abram Rineer,
a lad of IS, had a remarkably narrow es-
cape from being burned to death. He is
employed at the East End park, and tried
to clean his trousers of grease spots with
gasoline, using quite a quantity of oil,
About a half hour later he went to the
back yard and started a fire to burn some
rubbish. In an instant his clothing caught
fire, and the lower part of his body was en-
veloped in flames, which were smothered
by onlookers. The lower part of his body
is badly burned, but his condition is not
believed to be serious.

South of the Yang-tse-K iang a wheeled
vehicle is out Of place. In the north the
roads are better, and among a variety of
methods Of travelling the wheelbarrow
plays a great part as a means of loComo-
ton. The labor of propulsion is assisted
by hoisting a sail when the wind is favora-
bic, and on ordinary occasions by attach
ing a mule in front. There is no more
ludicrous sight than that of a pompous
Chinese gentleman humping along, his
round cheeks quivering like a jelly, while
d perspiring cody pushes the shafts be-
hind and %endeavors to keep the barrow
balanced. The springless horse cart,
which has to encounter roads of the rough
est kind, makes no provision for bodily
comfort. 1t is stated on good authority
that the servant of a British ambassador
actually got conclusion of the brain from
Tying down when i'll in the body of a cart
of this kind. The writer had a somewhat
similar experience when riding on a mai
cart over a corduroy road in British Co.
lumhia. Being sleepy, he left the spring
seat, fixed in front II holding three per-
sons, and lay down behind. 1t was i'm
possible to stay there long. Dumping over
the round tree trunks of considerable di-
ameter, which formed the pavement, the
hard wooden cart seemed to rise up and
smite every portion of his body, A rougheI
system of making a road can scarcely be
imagined.
Not less remarkable than the wheelbar-
row was the method employed in Nepaul

ROADS OF SOUTHERN CHINA.

Below the Yang-tse-Kiang a Wheeled We
hicIe Is Out of Place.
AS might be expected, the roads in
southern China are not remarkable for
their excellence. In a town the street is
seldom wider than from 3 TO 10 feet, Be-
tween great cities there runs what is called
a ''great road, 4" kept in moderate repair
and sometimes exceeding 8 feet in width.
Half a days journey from Annoy lies the
''great road that runs almost straight
from Picking to Canton. The popularity
of it consists in no consecutive 80 yards
being of the same description. One part
is composed of loose single, another is
paved; here it mounts on the top of a
mudbank, there it descends into a narrow

change National bank and the Belts
corner. The new conner being fasc!-
mated with the fertile soil of Butler
county and her climate, took claim
which lays across the road south of
John Carpenters farm.
Shortly after his arrival here, Mr..

and could sit for hours chewing tobac-
co and telling as big stories as any of
the boys He was in partnership with
