FOR FAvoRTTE SONS.
After Them Mckinley Seems to Have
the Call Among Republicans.


PITTSBURG. Pa, Feb. 21.-The
Commercial Gazette has made cam
vass of Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Ohio to ascertain the preference
of the Republicans of the state for
the presidency. 1t is ascertained that
Mckinley, up to the announcement OF
Senator Quay, was first choice in Penn
sylvania, his principal strength, how
ever, being in the Western part Of tho
state. Reed was a strong second to
Mckinley and the first choice of Phila-
delphia and Eastern Pennsylvania. It
is conceded that Quay will have the
solid delegation from that state The
Commercial Gazette advices from West
Virginia show that the delegation
from that state will be solid
for Mckinley unless Senator
Elkins should decide to be a candidate.
A partial canvass of Ohio shows that
the people there refuse to seriously
consider a second choice.

Safe Crashed Through the Floor.

big safe, weighing nearly two tons,
nearly caused bad accident in the Guaranty
Loan building yesterday. 1t was being moved
from the freight elevator to the Office of the
Lakewood Cemetery association, on the Fifth
floor, when the forward wheels slipped off
the plank on which they rested and crashed
through the glass flooring. An iron support
large aperture thus formed, but the falling
glass broke through the glass ON the fourth
floor and fell to the marble thing on the
third floor. These glass floors are said to be
capable of standing a terrific strain, but a
sharp rap will break them. Had the safe
been small one it might have gone through
several floors and done serious damage.

State Missionary Speaks On "A lust God and
Savior

"A just God and Il Savior was the
subject of the discourse at the Unta-
rian church, last evening by Rev. j.
W. Schafcr. State missionary.
He spoke of the vindictivc idea of
justice so long held in the church.
because he believed it to be an essential
characteristic of the Deity. The pre-
valence of arbitrary law based upon
retaliation was referred to and the
change now going on toward the adj
ministration of that justice which
seeks to reform and save criminals
The golden rule is given as the stan
dard of human justice until one enters
into that fuller reception ofthc Divine
character in which all Iaw is love.
Gods Justice is the wisdom of love-
the love of saving and blessing men.
While all violation of his laws is ac-
companied by penalties inherent in
the nature of things. all suffering
must prove the apostles words that
''hc is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins"

of the plant. but are true underground

to be to afford another means of prop
