Call to Blairsville, Pa.

Call to Blairsvillc, Pa.
Rev. H. II. Johnson, who has been
pastor of the Reynoldsville Presbyterian
church since September 18th, 1893, in
formed his congregation last Sunday

Rev. Johnson has not rendered his
resignation to the Keynoldsville con-
gregation yet, but will In very short
time. During his pastorate here Rev.
johnson has been stated supply at
Rathmel, preaching once every two
weeks at that place. Both churches
have prospered during his ministry.
From Rev. johnson we learn that he
declined all invitations TO candidate for
other places and that he did not seek
the position which he has now accepted.
Recently he was offered chair in the
GAINESVILLE Seminary, which he declined.
A committee OF three from Blairsville
waited on him last Wednesday in this
place and persuaded him to conclusion
on the call to Blairsville.
The trustees of the Blairsville Col
lege for Women propose making 1t one
of the leading institutions for the
education OF women, and as rapidly as
possible increase its buildings and make
other improvements. Rev. Johnson's
teaching will be In the line OF mental
ant moral science. His salary will be
$1,000 a year TO be increased with
growth Of the college. In addition to
this there will be contingencies which
will probably run his salary to over
SO, 900 year.
Rev. johnson said to a representative

No New Bridge.

Supervisor Eye of Winslow township
asked the county to build new bridge
across Sandy Lick creek at Sandy Val
ley. The Court appointed John Bren-
neman, OF Brookville, Squire w. L.
Johnson, of West Reynoldsville, and
Notary Public Albert Reynolds, of this
borough, as viewers. These gentlemen
were at Sandy Valley yesterday to per-
form the duty enjoined on them by the
Court. II the opinion of the viewers is
accepted the bridge will still remain
the property OF Winslow township.
The abutments are good and at the ex-
pense OF about one hundred dollars the
bridge can be repaired so that it will do
service for eight or ten years yet, at
least so sayeth the viewers.

Died of CONSUMPTION.

Mrs. Ina Phillippi Scott, aged about
3S years, wife of Asa Scott of Sykes
vile and youngest daughter of Solomon
Phillippi of Winslow township, died
last Wednesday night, April %. at ten
o'clock of consumption. Mrs. Scott
had been almost an invalid for fifteen
years. Last year her emaciated con-
dition made it apparent that unless
something could be done to help her
that her earthly existance would be
short. A change of climate was pre-
scribed( and Mr.. and Mrs. Scott left
Sykesvilfe the 18th of September, 1895,
for Colorado, whore they remained
several months and then went TO New
Mexico. The'dread disease had fasten-
ed itself so firmly on her constitution
that a change of climate could not re-
store the lost health, and on Saturday,
April llth, Mr.. and Mrs. Scott return
ed to Sykesville so that Mrs. Scott
could die at home, whore she peacefully
passed away on the above date. Funer-
al services were held in theNBethel Bap-
tist church, Sykesville, Friday forenoon,
conducted by Rev. j. l.. Dean, and the
mortal remains of loving wife and ten
der mother were buried in the Syphrit
cemetery. Asa Scott and Ina Phillippi
were married something like 20 years
ago and the husband and two children,
Almy, aged is years, and Harold, aged
I years, survive the departed. For
years Mrs. Scott was member and an
earnest worker, so far as her health
would permit, of the Bethel Baptist
church.

THE HEAT IN THE EAST.

There has been no better news from
the east than that the terribly hot
spell is broken. While the number Of
deaths from the heat has been appall-
ing, they do not tell of the grear suffer-
ing of the people. In the large cities
like New York, Philadelphia. Chicago,
st. Louis and others the suffering from
the heat is almost inconceivRble, Think
of the thousands and thousands Of
little children who have not been able
to get a breath of fresh air, scarcely a
drop of cooling water. In those great
ceuters of population the immense
buildings absorb the heat in the day
time and radiate it all the night long
1t is this radiation of the heat at night
that is so terrible. Then the air has
been SO surcharged with moisture that
the people have been unable TO cool
off through evaporation.
The 81 Louis Globe Democrat says
that the heated weather the past week
has been attended by a marked in
crease in the use of water. The aver

St. Louis during the summer months
reaches a total of 63,000,O00 gallons
Since the 1st of the present month this
average has been increased by about
10000 600 gallons per Gay, making total
daily consumption for the past ten days
of $1,000 600 gallons. Last Saturday will
long be remembered by the officials of
the water department as one of their
biggest days. During the twenty-four
hours of that day 74,OoO00O gallons Of
water We're used by the people of St.
Louis for drinking, cooling and clean
ing and manufacturing purposes.
No doubt the experience of St. Louis
in this respect is that OF an the big
cities. And while every ones sympa-
thfes wil naturally go out TO his fell
lowmen. still one cannot but feel for
the poor dumb brutes that suffer in 81

Now that the fire chiefs and their

among other things: 1T is matter of

spects, up to that high standard
of Intellectually and Christian e7l-
ample marked out for US by the
chief executive of the nation, but with
the limited advantages afforded those

of the east always have the advantage
Of, and that under adverse circum-
stances to which l have referred, we
are simply making a struggle to do the
best we cam. That would ordinarily
be understood as sarcasm, but one Lady
who was member of the chiefs party
took it literally. A member of the re-
ception committee who was assisting
in doing the honors tells that this lady
said, as they were driving around the
city: Il was astonished at the mayors
statement that there are no churches or
schools in your city. 1t is really too
bad; they should be provided" The
next time Mayor Glendinning gets sar-
castle ne should announce as. he goes
along with his address what is sarcasm
and what is mere truth.

The World has not lost its head over
the silver question; in fact it is a
characteristic of that paper not to do
such a foolish thing in times of more
or less excitement, and sees, what any
sensible person must see, that the wild
and unreasonmg talk Of the arti-silver
people does them far more harm than
anyone else. It is doubtful if a for
eign conquest of this country and the
selling of its people into slavery would
be a disaster that would be attended
with so many evils as the gold men
predict would como as consequence
of free silver. The easiest thing in the
world is to predict evil, and it is al
ways a favorite substitute with people
who have neither right nor reason to
offer in defense of their position. The
gold men are certainly OVERRIDING the
anti-silver business.

ONCE FOE. SILVER, NOW roe GOLD.

Ten years ago there was no stauncher
advocate Of silver than the Louisville
Courier-Journal. In it's issue Of Aug
ust 10, 1886, it gives the following rea-
sons why silver should be remone-
tized:
/. That the decentralization of silver,
which has prevailed up to this writing,
both in the United States and Europe,
has had the effect of advancing the
value of gold about 80 per cent
2. That this has been accomplished
by depressing the value of all other
property to that extent
8. That about 40 per cent of the prop
erty and producing resources of the
people has thus been transferred to a
comparatively small class of men,
whose stock in trade is gold invest
ments.
A. That in the exact proportion as
gold has risen the burden of debt and
taxation has increased; and that in pro-
portion as property and labor have de-
clined the capacity of the people to pay
their debts and taxes has diminished.
5. That the silver discount is creating
q bonus of more than 80 per cent in
favor of the farm productions of India
and Asia, which to that extent cheap
productions of the United States.
6. That these lamentable conditions
have been produced by anti-silver leg
islation
Z. That they can be undone and pros
perity restored by pro-silver legislation.
If that was true ten years ago how
much more true is it today? All the
causes which were then operating to
grind down the people are operating
today, but with the added force of ten
years increased momentum. But the
Courier journal fails to see that these
causes are operating now. Nowhere
can there be found a more ardent ad-
vocate of the gold standard. a more
fierce exponent of the evils of free
silver, as it regards it. than the Cour-
ier-Journal. What has induced the
change? We cannot say; all we can
say is: How are the mighty fallen!

upper cuts from the gold press for
leaving their cause. He may yet learn
that it is always the best policy for one
to fina out what he does believe and
then stick to it.
