Roosevelt and sunday Laws.

Moralists who fail to note with care the
lessons OF Mr.. Rsesevelt's triumph in
New York city will miss one OF the best
opportunities for receiving and impart-
ing instruction that have appeared in
the history of the present generation.
One of these lessons is that a "policy of
toleration," in other words, of comprom-
Use with sin and sinners, is Improbable
aud needless. Given a clear case, a
sound Judgment and a fair measure of
moral courage, and a layman, a preacher
or a civil officer may maintain a
righteous cause successfully against
vast hosts OF the devils own elect. The
papers report that MIR. Roosevelt's
triumph is complete; 425 New York
saloon keepers IN a single day made
haste to plead guilty and pay their tines
for violating the excise law; after which
it may be accounted practicable to en-.
force any righteous law in any American
city.

CUAS III. FISUE'
Local Indian Names.

In an interesting and valuable histori-
cal article in last weeks Bedford gazette
from the pen of Hon. WIN. w. Hall, we
find the following definitions of famous
Somerset county Indian names:
Kickiny Pawlins (kicknapaulin) was
an Indian whose cabin was erected on or
near the Quemahoning Greek, six miles
from the crossing of Stonycreek. The
place is spoken of in John Harris table
of distances of l754. Ii was probably in
the neighborhood where Friedline's Mill,
Somerset county, is now situated. His
name is signed to an address with other
Indian captains in the Pennsylvania
Archives.
Quemahoning, from the language oi
the Observation-Disclosures a stream on
which there is salt lick. II occurs in
several places in the state. The prefix
Que is said to have meant pine woods-a
stream in pine woods upon which there
is a salt lick.

Has Many Friends Here.

Word has been received in this city, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch, that Tom Han
mum, at one time an active member ofthe
Pittsburg newspaper fraternity, is near
deaths door at his home in ConShohock-
en-, this State, from the ravages oT con
sumption. The information comes from
Mr.. Hannnm's mother, who is his constant
attendant. His condition is now so bad
that no; even his most intimate friends
are allowed to see him, and she writes
that his friends will never see him again
in life.
Mr.. Hannum began his newspaper ca
reer in this city on the Post. His rise
was rapid. and he soon established him
self in the front ranks of the profession.
After several years Of active service here
he was made Washington correspondent,
position he filled with marked ability.
During his sojourn at the national capital
he also corresponded for various papers
in leading cities ofthe country, and he be-
came a conspicuous figure in the cosmo-
politan fraternity OF that city.
Failing health forced his retirement
from the ranks about two years ago, and
he secured position as the treasury
agent at III Paso, Texas. For a time he
seemed to benefit 10y the change, but
the dread disease had secured too firm a
hold or him. and some months since he
was compelled to give up his labors and
return to his home, where he now awaits
the final summons.
Here as elsewhere Mr.. Hannum can
number warm friends by the score. His
generous nature, keen sense of humor and
cheerful disposition made him prince of
companions, and this announcement OF
his condition will bring sorrow to a large
circle of friends in Western Pennsylva-
mia.

prince Leo" Makes Successful Ascen-

! A large crowd of people was attracted
to town Saturday 10y the announcement
made in last weeks HERALD that Prof.
Samuel Beam, professionally known as
"Prince Leo" would make balloon as

Markieton Man Suicides.

Word comes from Markleton that John
Miller, who came from Mt. Pleasant 10
that place several years ago and has since
resided on the Neil farm, committed sui
eide last Wednesday afternoon by hang
ing. The unfortunate man was afflicted
with an incurable disease-cancer of the
stomach-and it is supposed that knowl-
edge of this fact preyed on his mind so
heavily that he decided to put an end TO
his sufferings. He had been confined to
his bed for some time, and although he
had threatened 10 take his own life, his
wife and the other members of his family
never for moment thought that
he would carry his threat into execution.
During the temporary absence of Mrs.
Miller from the sick room Wednesday
the invalid took a handkerchief and fas-
tening one end around his neck secured
the other end TO the bedpost aud then
threw his body from the bed. He was
quite dead when his wife re-entered the
room.
Miller was about forty-five years of age
and was highly esteemed by all who
knew him. He leaves a wife and three
or four children.

The Century for the Coming Year.

| The Century MGJ1ziRe celebrates its
I quarter-centennial in its November issue
with an Anniversary Number" In
honor of the occasion il dons new dress
Of type. with new headings, etc, and it
appears in new and artistic cover. AL
though The Century has reached an age
that is unusual among American maga
zines, il continues to show the youthful
vigor and enterprise that have always
characterized it. The programme that has
been arranged for the coming year con-
tains number of interesting features.
Much has already been written concern
ing Mrs Humphry Wards new novel, Sir
George Tressady," which has been secur
ed for its pages. There was very spirit
ed bidding for this novel on the part of
several prominent publishers, with the
result that the author will probably real
ize from the serial and book rights of it
one of the largest sums that has yet been
given for a work of fiction in the English
language. The story describes life in an
English country-hous and also touches
somewhat upon industrial questions. Ii
begins in the November number with an
account of an English parliamentary cleo
ton. II will be the leading feature in
fiction for the coming twelve months,
other and shorter novels being contribut-
ed by w. ID. Howells, +. Hopkinson
Smith, Mary Hallock FoOte, and Amelia
T.. Barr. There will also be contributions
from Mark Twain and Rudyard kipling
(the latter furnishing to the Christmas
Century one of the most powerful stories
he has ever written) a series of articles
on the great naval engagements of Mel
son, by Captain Alfred I. Mahan, aut hor
of "lnfluence of Sea Power upon Histo-
ry" three brilliant articles on Rome,
contributed by Marion Crawford, and
superbly illustrated by Castaigne, who
ma ie the famous Worlds Fair pictures
in The Century; series of articles by
George Kennan, author of siberia and
the Exile SYSTEM" on the Mountains and
the Mountaineers of the Eastern Caucasus
describing a li.tle-known people articles
by Henry NJ. Stanley and the late r. j.
Clave on Africa; series of papers on
THE Administration of the Cities of the
United States" by DIR. Albert Shaw. The
Century will also contain during the year
great number of papers on art subjects,
richly illustrated.
Prof Sloane's Life of Napoleon" with
its wealth of illustration, will reach its
most interesting part,-the rise of the
conqueror to the height of his power. and
his final overthrow and exile. In order
that new subscribers may obtain the
whole of this monumental work, the pub
fishers have made rate of $500, for which
one can have years subscription from
November, 95, and all of the numbers for
the past twelve months, from the begin
ming of Prof. Sloane's history.

Ready for Business.

Mr. A. f. Johns coal mine will he
ready next week for shipping. 1t has
taken quite a while to get il ready for
business, and it has cost considerable
money, hut he has the satisfaction OF
knowing that nothing has been left un-
done TO insure the success Of the plant.
II is undoubtedly the best yet complet-
Ell in the north of the county. While
the coal is soft, it is a first class steam
coal and with careful mining and hand
ling can be delivered in Jumps to any OF
the eastern city markets. To facilitate
this. Mr.. John uses a basket tan iron
concern holding two mine ear loads, }
instead of the usual chute; il is more rapid,
too, by this process, and the coal is not
ground 10 powder, but remains in lump.
Shipments will be 10y the ;. Il c., but by
spring it is likely the "Pennsy' will ar
range for some of this class of freight. We
are happy to note the completion of this
plant 10y our energetic business man.

REMARKABLE SUCCESS
Of an Enterprising and Progressive News
paper.

The best daily paper published in
Pennsylvania is the Philadelphia IHq,Gr-
cr. Their facilities for obtaining all the
news, national, State and local, are the
very best to be found anywhere. The
new building into which they moved
some eight months ago is not only unsur-
passed for beauty, but the spacious quar-
tiers give them an opportunity to handle
news in a more complete and satisfactory
manner than any oftheir contemporaries
Private telegraph wires, special long
distance telephones and the regular
service of the Associated Press are only n
few of the most improved, methods for
gathering news 10 be found in the new
building. The Inquirer has long been
the recognized authority on sporting mat
tiers, and is in every way worthy of its
tremendous popularity, which has gain
ed it the largest circulation of any Re-
publican newspaper i'm the United States.
The several departments are each under
the personal direction of a competent
authority on the subjects discussed. Re
ports, decisions and all the details of the
State Supreme Court proceedings are
given special atteution. The Inquirer
carries the largest amount of advertising
of any Pennsylvania newspaper and is
everywhere acknowledged the best
medium Of any one cent daily.

VOLUNTARILY RETIREs FROM THE
FIELD.
County Superintendent Berkey Will Not b.
Candidate for Reelection.

acandidate for Reelection.
The HERALD is able to announce on un-
questioned authority that Prof ]. NJ.
berhey viii not ask another re e-election
to the Office OF County Superintendent.
but will voluntarily upon the completion
OF the present school year relinquish the
duties and emoluments of that important
oiiice to whomsoever the school directors
OF the county may elect as his successor.
We make this announcement regret
fully. Prof Berkey, is now completing
his ninth year in the Office of County Su-
perintendent and during that long term
has proved himself most efficient
| aud conscientious officer. A number of
eminent scholars and trained educators
preceded him in the Superintendent's
office, but no mistake was made when
the educational interests of the county
were placed in his keeping. 4 teacher
and scholar 10y intuition and training,
he was fully equipped for the discharge
of the important duties devolving upon
him when first elected and since then he
has experienced an intellectual growth
that has commanded attention through
out Pennsylvania and i'm adjoining states.
The science of pedagogy has made rapid
strides during the past few years and Su-
periniendent Berkey has kept i'm the
front rank of the noble army who are de-
voting their lives and talents to teaching
the children in the common schools.
That he has done much 10 advance and
elevate the schools of this county even
those who have been free TO criticise the !
methods introduced, will, we believe,
ch eerfully bear testimony. Flattering |
offers TO abandon the home field ana go |
elsewhere were brushed aside until he |
had attained the ends aimed at in the be- !
ginning. And now that the schools have |
been graded and in measure prepared |
TO enter upon wider course Superin |
tendent Berkey evidently feels that he |
can go elsewhere where his pre-eminent ]
ability. ripened by experience and cnl- /
ture, can be of greater service To the 1
youth OF the country. Several desirable |
positions are open to him, but he has not 1
yet decided upon his future course.
As said above, we regret that Superin
tendent Berkey has positively decided to |
depart from the home educational field |
and we feel that this announcement will |
be reluctantly received 10y friends of edu
cation throughout the county. He has
labored earnestly, conscientiously and /
diligently i'm the interests of the schools
of the county and his successor will find
that in order to maintain the same high
order of excellence the path before him
will not be strcwn with roses
Ii might be well 10 add that Superin-
tendent Berkey has been urged by school
directors and friends Of education in
different parts of the county TO permit his
name 10 be used as a candidate for re-
election and that while he has had assur-
ances highly gratifying he has positively
declined all overtures looking to the ac-
complishment of this result.
