FLAG RAISING.
An Interesting and Patriotic Occasion
at Fairview School House
Saturday.

The flag, raising conducted by Lady
Stark Council No. 8, ID. of l.. at Fairview
school-house Saturday, May 23, was a
success, beautiful day bringing large
crowd. A short program was arranged
and we'll rendered by the participants.
The exercises opened by the singing OF
America.
Mr. Delap, the present teacher of that
district rendered welcome to No. 3
council, in behalf of his pupils. His
remarks were limited, but cordial The
presentation address delivered by Mrs.
Dehoff was most laudatory of the emblem
of our country. Mrs. Dehoff's gift of
speech is both gentle and impressive and
her address was encored and appreciated
by large audience. 1.-THE musical pro-
gram was rendered by quartette from
their own district and showed good talent.
A comical defamation entitled Betsy
and l are Out" was delivered by Mr.. j.
Lichtenwalter, his gestures and style of
delivery being beyond crlticlsm brothers
Marten and Hang followed by some very
good remarks, relative to the occasion.
After the hoisting of the flag the ladies of
Fairview served delightful lunch which,
though surprise, was meme the less ap'
preciated, and No. 3 d. of l.. will always
remember the occasion and the courteous
reception. The drum corps Of Canton
enlivened the occasion going and coming,
with lively music.
Brother Dehoff, of John A. Logan
Council, acted as president, and did jus
tice in his usual pleasant manner.

REV. DIR. ID. II. BREED.

Auburn, N. Y. 1t had been known
that there was strong feeling in re-
gard to this building, but it was not
anticipated that it would take this
shape. The subject was made an order
for today, but it is believed that by
reason of the oppsition of the mission
ary board it will probably go over until
Thursday. The discussion when the
subject Is brought up promises to be
animated at least.
II recommended that the building be
sold and that the missionary board re-
turn to their old quarters, the donar of
which promised to alter and enlarge
them. The matter was made special
order for Tuesday morning, to take pre-
cedence of all other matters.
The report of the standing committee
on work among the Freedmen was pre-
sented by DIR. Villeroy ID. Reed of
Philadelphia. The report of board
showed receipts for the year of $l46, ,992
and expenditures $l49, 1888. The present
debt of the board is $16,371. The board
has under its charge 18l ministers, 3l4
churches and Sunday schools, 70 day
schools, with 230 teachers and 9,5ll
pupils. During the year 2,036 have
been added to the boards churches.
The Freedmen have themselves con
tributed sos, 900 to the support of Their
churches and schools. At the close OF
the report the assembly was addressed
by DIR. Reed and by DIR. Il. p. Cowan
secretary of the board.
Rev. DIR. Breed of Pittsburg is making
hot fight to compel the Christian En-
deavor societies to become more strictly
denominational. He is prominent
figure in the assembly.

TRYING oRDEALS FOR PRESI-
DENTS.

In writing of the "Pardoning power"
Invested in the President) Hon. Benja
min Harrison says in the June Ladies'
Home journal: "The papers in these
murder cases are usually voluminous-
full record or an abstract Of the evil
dence making part. If the trial seems
to have been fairly conducted, and no
new exculpatory evidence is produced,
and the sentence does not seem to have
been unduly severe, the President re-
fuses TO interfere. He cannot weigh the
evidence as well as the judge and jury.
hey saw and heard the witnesses, and
he has only a writing before him. 1t
happens sometimes that the wife or
mother of the condemned man comes in
person to plead for mercy, and | know
of no more trying ordeal than to hear
their fearful and sobbing utterances, and
to feel that public duty requires that
they be denied their prayer" "

Ingenious Use of Photography.

Before the days of books parchments
became so costly that economical scholars
erased moro or less perfectly what had
been written and used them a second
time. In this manner some highly inter
esting and valuable manuscripts have been
lost TO the world But in many cases the
ancient characters are still family visible.
Twice used parchments are called pal
impsests, and many modern scholars have
strained their eyes in the effort to decipher
the original writing.
Recently photography has been success
fully applied In Germanyfo thiswork. The
color of the faded ink of the older writing
on a palimpsest Is yellow. A photograph
Of such manuscript was made through a
yellow screen. The result was a negative
on which the old writing was barely dis
oernible, being a little darker than the
background, while the later black writing
appeared distinctly as white letters.
Next an ordinary negative on bromide
plate was made, and from this was pro.
duced a transparent positive on which
both writings appeared dark and about
equally distinct. Then the transparency
was superimposed on the first negative, SO
that the dark letters of the later writing
covered the light letters, representing the
same writing In the negative. They were
thus eliminated, being indistinguishably
merged with the general dark background
produced by the combination of positive
and negative. But the earlier characters,
since they were dark In both cases, ap
peared In the combination intensely black
and distinct, - Youths Companion.

The Democratic senators were unanim'
Gus in their belief that Colonel Dupont
of Delaware, was not entitled to a seat
in the senate, and as the populists voted
with them, Dupont was turned down by a
majority of one. 1t was thought that
some of the Republicans would vote
against Dupont, but such strong party
pressure was brought to bear that those
who would not swallow their convic,
tions outright by voting for him allowed
themselves to be paired, which amount
ed to the same thing. 1t can be
positively stated that the Democrats did
not offer the Populsts single induce
ment to vote against Dupont. Aside
from their convictions, there were
several strong reasons for their doing SC
anyway, not the least of which would
have been their loss of the balance Of
of power in the senate if Dupont had
been seated.

HOW THINGS HAVE BEEN RUN.

At the Presidential election in 1892,
when every available Democratic vote
was brought to the polls, Grover Cleve-
land had "a votes in precinct A.. Fourth
ward. The polls were open from 8 a. m.
to 6 p. IN. The next spring at the Demo-
cratic primary elections held in March,
there were l22yotes polled with the polls
open from p. N. to 7 p. M, and the
boundary lines of the precinct unchanged
1t will also be remembered that the day
Of the March primary election in 1898,
was cold, rainy, blizzardy day, hardly
fit for human being to be out of doors,
and yet, according to the returns, there
were 2S more votes polled than were
polled for Cleveland at the presidential
election. One Of two things is. just as
certain as that two and two make four.
Either the ballot box was stuffed or lot
of Republicans voted at the primaries; but
the former is the more probable. 1t was
just such brazen corruption as this that
defeated part Of our ticket at the same
election, and 1t has played very con-
spicious part in turning the once rock

CzAR REED has resumed bis crown and
has abandoned the conciliatory, you're
a.good fellow style which he assumed as
a candidate for his party's presidential
nomination and again becomes the auto
crat of the house that he used to be. He
has also resumed the habit of making
enemies by firing sarcastic epigrams at
members who give him an opinion either
on the floor of the house or in private
conversations. The meaning Of all this
is perfectly plain, Mr., Reed sees the
Mckinley shadow on the wall, and no
longer regards himself as in the presi.
dental running. He can have the
second place, but it is said that he will
not take it unless he finds it necessary to
keepit from going to some man like
Senator Proctor or to Senator Quay, both
of whom he thinks betrayed him. If he
takes the second place, it is said that he
will be open to the charge of treachery
to the combine, each member of which
pledged himself to make no deal with
Mckinley.

WALTER WELLMAN, in his letter to the
Chicago Times-Herald, says that no
matter which element triumphs at
Chicago the result will be two Demo.
cratic national tickets. This condition
of things is to be deplored. The Demo.
Gratis tried this experiment in 1860 and
met with a sigual failure. 1t is the duty
of every Democrat after his party has
met in convention, adopted a platform
and named its candidates to support the
ticket. All Democrats should remember
the patriotic sentiments uttered by the
immortal Benton: "UnioD, harmony,
concession, everything for the cause,
nothing for men,"

THE CONDITION. OF THE COUNTRY

Henry Clews, in his financial Review,
is fearful as to the political conditions
which now exist, but he feels secure that
majority of the American people will
not lose their ability to distinguish be-
tween good money and bad. He says,
Wall street continues to lack any fixed
basis of confidence for transit operations.
Material conditions are satisfactory;
such as the prospects Of the crops, the
earnings of the railroads and the move
in the larger departments Of merchan-
disc; and the exports of eold.are viewed
as but natural movement. Virtually
the sole obstacle in the way Of an active
and rising market is the condition of

Tom Paige, we'll known contractor,
living at No. 24s Waverly street, Cleve-
land, fell flfty-two feet from the third
story to the basement of the Great South
ern hotel, in process Of construction at
Columbus, last evening and received in
juries that may prove fatal. Mr. Paige
had the contract for tiling the hotel
which is to be freproof, and was
showing friends over the building. He
was about to step on the material elevator
when the engineer running 1t heard sig
nal and started 1t. Paige tried to get
back, but his clothes caught on a spike
and the elevator passed upward, leaving
him overbalanced on the shaft. In his
effort to free himself from the spike he
fell to the basement, flfty-two feet below.
He was picked up in an unconscious con-
dition and taken to the Protestant hos.
pital. His brother, James Paige, who is
his foreman, accompanied him.
An examination showed that Paige's
back was probably broken. He was not
dead and on account of a magnificent
constitution the physicians thought he
might recover, but said that he would
always be cripple, probably paralyzed
below the waist. This Is Mr.. Paigss
third serious fall A little over year
ago he fell from the fourth story of the
court house in this city, on which he had
contract, and received injuries from
which he had not recovered wholly at the
time of the accident yesterday, and some
years ago he was thrown from horse
and nearly killed. He has wife and
three sons.

Herman Found.
SALT LAKE Crry, May 26.-The police
have been actively at work making in.
vestigations in the basement of the
Scandinavian M. Il. church for further
traces of the missing girl, Miss Clausen,
1t was known that the girl had false
teeth, and in the ashes of the CRATE were
found two false teeth which had been
put ON with small rivets. They are un
mistably front teeth. This is the kind
of evidence the authorities have been
more than anxious to obtain. A pair Of

This is looked upon by the police de.
partment as very Important. No posi-
tive clue has been obtained as to the
