The Miss Clark Mystery.

NEW YoRY, Aug, 18.-The disap
'earance of Miss Lucretia Clark, the
syracuse school teacher, from Plain,
ield, N, j., where she went to open
boarding school for girls, remains
mystery. Although she left Plain
ield to come to this city, and
although her wealthy relatives and
friends declare that they are utterly
n the dark as to her fate or her
Whereabouts, they have not asked
he police of New York to look for
Ter. So long as they fail to do so
,trcngth must be added to the belief
hat they have knowledge as t, the
'ause of her disappearance and as to
Ter whereabouts, but that for reasons
best known to themselve. they do
not care to clear up the case.

Pennsylvania's Wealth.

A geography for the use in the
public schools recently published in
Chicago, gives this State prominence
as mineral producing region, but
says nothing of it's agricultural re-
sources. What an error of omission
this is, the sensus reports just pub
lished show. The first six countie>
on the continent in the value Of theil
agricultural products ranks as fol,
lows:
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 1851, 100
st. Lawrence, New York, 6,554,16(
Chester, Pennsylvania, 5,s63,sO(
Worcester, Massachusetts,, 5,4s9,43
Bucks, Pennsylvania, 5,4l1,3T
Colusa, California, 5,357, ,35t
There are as many farms in St
Lawrence county as in Lancaster
but those in the former are valued
at 1872, 100000, while those of the
latter are valued at $4,000, 900
Both st. Lawrence and Colusa coun
ties are three times larger than Lan>
caster, Pennsylvania has three of
the first six couLties OF the United
States in agricultural wealth and
the State would be great and wealthy
had it no resources other than those
of agriculture. But her beds Of
coal, her wells OF Gil and gas, her de-
posits of ores, her varied industries,
her tree clad hills, make an empire,
whose people have but to use wisely
what God has given, to be prosper.

The Republican county convention
which will he held in Dushore on
Sept. 81, will be an important meet
ing, and its work will have a direct
bearing on the result of the cam
paign. There is general salts faction
throughout the county over the
candidates who are spoken of, and
so far as these men are concerned
they will enlist the hearty and united
support of the party workers. I'm
der the circumstances the conven-
tion should give the proper tone to
it's deliberations and not characters
ize its proceedings hy any unseemly
action concerning the recent contest
for state delegate, thus embitterng
any feelings of resentment that may
still be harborcd by some of those
engaged in that struggle. For two
years the Republican forces Of the
county have been in excellent trim
and have won victories that at one
time would have been impossible.
Let US hope that this magnificent
situation will be maintained, that
the factions in the party will be re-
united and sclidified for an aggres>
sive warfare on the common enemy
SO that the Republican hold on the
party may he clinched and become
permanent. The convention, as the
preventative gathering of the
party's workers and leaders can aid
materially in this and we believe it
will do so. After the ticket is mans
ed let the delegates be sent home
encouraged in the hope that victory
will perch on the Republican banner
and that the nominees of the con-
vention will be triumphant in Nov.
The chances for success are bright,
but those chances will be materially
improved by the exercise of a har-
monizing influence throughout the
county.

In commenting on the State con-
test tho Philadelphia Ledger says: !:
When either Senator Quay or Gov.
Hastings can give unqualified proof
that he controls majority OF the
delegates he will have no difficulty
in increasing his majority beyond
his most extravagant claim. 1t
would not, indeed, be at all surpris-
ing to find the convention harmon
ious and united, after this bitter
struggle at the primaries, for all the
men engaged in it are politicians,
and politicians do not, as rule,
waste their energies on purpose
less or hopeless fight. They know
when they are beaten, and accept
defeat gracefully.
Hon. Henry johnson, of William
sport, the nestor of the Lycoming
county bar, died at his home on
August 1lth, aged eigbty>six years.
He began the practice of law in Ly-
coming county in 1841, and achieved
remarkable success.
He was Presidential elector in
1S48, and in 1861 was elected to the
State Senate, and it was he who
introduced the resolution to amend
the Constitution giving soldiers in
the field the right to vote, He was
a delegate to the Republican Nation
al Convention at Baltimore in 1864
There comes a credent rumor from
Sonestown of an odd little episode
concerning one Of the popular young
men Of that town, on a recent evening
shortly after sundown, which gave
rise to an amusing comedy of con-
flict between knot of perplexitics
and the civilized obligation to over
come them. While out driving, il
is supposed with one of the pretties'
school marms in attendance at the
institute, tire from one of the
wheels of his wagon came off, at a
place in the road where the creek is
but few feet from the embank.
ment. The tire made bee-line over
the bank into deep, deep water and
there buried itself below the surface
The young man at once realized the
critical state of affairs, and lost nc
time in securing long pole and be-
gan spearing for the lost portion OF
his vehicle. After fifteen or twenty
minutes struggle with evident des-
peration to land what he was after,
had failed, he resorted to another
plan, and with a look of awful des-
pair in his prespiring features, re-
iHoNeu his SHOES ahu socks, ToliluS
up his pantaloons, revealing TO the
lady who was watching the proceed
ings with amused interest, that there
was vast difference between him
and the Prodical son-he not having
been given the fatted ''calf." Ask
him for the rest.

ADJUSTMENTS.


The management of Ferguson's theatre
announces one of the best attractions of
the season for Friday evening, March Is,
when the universal favorite, Florence
Bindley, will give massive production
of her realistic comedy drama, "The Pay
Train" Incidental to the play Miss
Bindley will introduce her songs, dances
and solos on the autoharp, xylaphone,
sleigh bells and musical glasses. The
end Of the third act is the great railroad
scene in which full train of cars crosses
the stage at full speed and are uncoupled
in full view of the audience. The pay car
is at once lit up with electricity and action
shown in the car. This feat is original
with, ard accomplished only by, this
company, 1t cannot be fully described
so as to do it justice, and must be seen.
THE POLICE PATROL"
The thrilling and realistic play, "The
Police PATROL" will be presented at Fer
guson's theatre on Saturday evening,
March 10th. On it's former production in
this city, this production was most favor.
ably received. The plot is founded on a
sensational murder that occurred in
Chicago some years ago, and that start
ling affair has been dramatized in a most
striking and realistic manner, the sue
ceeding incidents being faithfully pro-
duced. The play permits the introduction
of the interior Of police patrol station
with the patrol wagon, horses, policemen
and all t he paraphernalia necessary to a
station of the kind. The sensational
element is relieved by some very bright
comedy and pleasing specialties.

Lively Discussion over Individual Commu-

BALTIMORE. March 13.-The Baltimore
Methodist Episcopal conference, by vote
of l16 to 65 defeated the amendment to
the constitution of the church providing
for the admission of women to the general
conference.
A resolution offered at the conference
condemning as un-Christlike the use of
individual cups at the Lords Supper
brought to their feet a large portion of the
delegates. Rev. DR. Richard Harcourt,
pastor of Grace church, Baltimore, which
recently adopted individual cups, said
II would like to know in what particu
lar the use of individual cups conflicts
with the Bible or the Methodist discip,
line"
Il think there is no authority for their
use in either" the bishop answered.
"Jesus Christ said cup, not cups That
is my conviction"
"Well, as to that" Dr. Harcourt re-
piled, 81 think l can say there is scriptural
authority for the use of individual cups.
There was time when it was said every
body had TO 60 clean shaven like the bishop
of this cOnference-when there was nc
dipping of the mustache into the cup,
with perhaps tobacco juice on it; when
there was no offensive suffering from the
grip after having left the handkerchief at
home. l tell you, Mr.. President that
from these causes, at the table of the Lord
and his communion, have administered
slops."
Groans followed, and exclamations OF
"Oh!" and cries of "Stop" but DIR. Har-
court continued: "If there were not SC
many ladies present l might give you
brethren some further facts, but I re.
| frain."
The bishop called Dr. Harcourt to or
der and DIR. Harcourt said Certainly
bishop, 1 said would refrain on account
of the presence in this congregation of la
dies from giving further unpleasant facts
| which are apropos in full discussion o
| this question"
Finally the matter was laid on the table
! by a vote of 20 to 80.
