The Dedication will be Notable Affair

The Dedication will be a Notable Affair.
Next Sunday will mark the compile
tion Of the labors of the Presbyter-
ian congregation and truly they have
a magnificent monument to witness
the zeal with which they have done
the work. The church is one of the
very finest in the State and represents
an outlay Of fully $1,000. Too much
credit cannot be given the members
for so thoroughly accomplishing what
they set out to do. The entire day
will be used in the dedicatory services.
The morning services will begin
promptly at 1890 O'Clock, and it is the
desire Of the pastor that the people
come promptly so that the seryi-
ces may not be necessarily delayed.
The sermon will be preached by Rev.J.
J. P. Kumler, ID. Of the East Lib
erty Presbyterian church of Pittsburg,
who is very noted divine and who
will deliver very fine sermon. In
the afternoon platform service will
be held at which all the pastors in the
town. will deliver short addresses. Ser.
vice begins at O'Clock. DR.. Kumler
will also preach in the evening at the
usual time. The indications are that
immense crowds will attend these
services and they will no doubt highly
enjoy them
DR.. Buchanan requests that all who
expect to attend the dedicatory servi,
ces will notice that the hour set is fif.
teen minutes earlier than usual and
that they come promptly.

Some Relics.

Monday afternoon on the lookout
for news The Republican was shown
by Col. A. G. Sturgiss number of
Confederate bills in denominations
from 80 cents to 800. One of the
bills for 800 was issued at Rich
mUnd, Aug. 18th, 1862, which bore
on its face a promise to pay interest
at the rate of two cents per day. On
the reverse side of the bill there is
stamped a certificate that the inter
est had been paid to January LIST,
1865. A calculation was made and
it was shown that from the time the
bill had been issued aggregate of in
terest paid by theConfederate govern
ment to January 1st, 1866, amounted
to $l700. This immense sum for the
use Of one hundred dollars for less
than thirty months was of Course
paid in Confederate money.
Col. Sturgiss has also in his pos
session an original copy of the Mary
land Journal and Baltimore Adyer-
tiser dated Friday, Aug. 30, 1878.
This paper is in an excellent state
of preservation, and came into the
possession of Col. Sturgiss along
with number of other relics be-
longing to the late William Wagner,
of Morgantown, w. va.-Oahland
Republican.

ever entrusted himself thus to the
Fords has been a mystery to his friends.
For years Jesse James had never failed
to wear his pistol where it was handy.
One day, however, he laid it aside in
his cottage and stood upon chair to
brush the dust from picture on the
wall. This trivial and womanly act in
the life of a man who had helped to
spread desolation, and who had shot,
plundered and killed, cost him his life.
The Fords had been watching for their
chance. The big reward quickened their
courage. One of them shot and killed
the bandit.
The Fords went to the telegraph Office
and sent a message to Governor Crit
tenden claiming the reward for killing
Jesse James. The news of the assassi-
nation of a President could not have
caused more excitement in Missouri,
although the feeling was of a different
character.
The Fords were arrested and releas-
ed. They got their reward. One of
them was killed in a dancehouse in
Colorado later, and the other died of

and something quite unusual was anti

One member of the company, who be-

Pretty soon the manifestations be-

The misfortune of David j. Tucker,
of Ottawa County, Kas., is warning
to mankind. 1t has significant bear
problems of the day which it would
be folly to ignore. We know little of
David himself except that he is the
husband of Lucinda. Whether he
staid home and attended to the baby
properly and washed the dishes with
out breaking them, it is impossible to
say. But David is heard of at last,
in an unenviable light, as transgres-
sor of the family laws and victim of
condign punishment. He went to town
with $50 in his pocket and a list Of
things to buy at the store. David, how
ever, in a moment Of forgetfulneSs
bought red, white and blue chips with
thread and groceries, The same chips
quickly became the property of other
sinful men, and David went home with
out money, thread or groceries. This
next chapter is more terrible than the
tears and reproaches familiar in other
stories of this character. Lucinda fail
ed to weep. She seized David and
bound him to post in the barn. Then
she cowhided him and left him to think
over his sins. Kansas women We're
known to be ambitious for power, but 4
glimpse now has been given of the ex
tent of their aspirations which is APP
palling. 1t may be all a mistake to
suppose they wanted merely to vote
and hold the Offices Or, having suf-
fered reverses in this direction, is it
possible Mrs. Tucker is the evange-
list of a new anti-ma sculine crusade?
If SO, where will it end? Soon we may
hear Kansas men are refused the right
of going to the lodge without a chap
eron, and perhaps they will be placed
on an allowance of 10 cents per day
for spending money. Bicycles and
typewriters will be prohibited under
penalty Of being tied to a post in the
barn and cowhided. Better thousand
times let the women have the offices
than to drive them in desperation to
such reprisals. Let the men of Kansas
take heed that in fleeing from one evil
they do not fall afoul of a worse fate.

1t will sew on tiny shirt button or
one of those butter-saucer buttons, two

it does not add a cent to the cost or

The demand came for machine
which would give larger daily output.
The machines were sewing 1000 and
2,4OO stitches q minute, but that was
not fast enough to suit the men who
used them. A machine was invented
which sews $500 stitches minute, and
does it every minute it works. 1t is
used on many fabrics, for sewing I'M
derwear and clothing and such work.
Between the double-needle and the
12-needle machines are those which
sew four, six or more, up to twelve,
parallel seams at time. They are
used to sew parallel seams on harrims,
for sewing together the stripes of flags,
for running up the sides of overalls
ana trousers, ana nunQfeu otnef
things.
For long time manufacturers were
satisfied with the plain, fiat bed of the
ordinary machine, with such attach
ments and additions as they required
for special work. But some fellow who
wanted something done that apparent
ly was impossible made his cry for a
tubular, or cylindrical, shaped bed. so
that he could stitch around hollow
article, such as a collar box or shoe
vamp.
He got his machine, and then came
the demand for one which would sew
hollow things lengthwise instead of
around. Now there are no less than
six different styles of machines for

bandit only gave himself up when he
was assured that his own terms would
be accepted. And then he rode to the

the company of one man, who had the
authority of the Governor, he walked
down the main street of the town to
the mansion of the executive, up the

off his belt and pistols and cartridges
and spurs and sententiously said that
he was tired. That event is so recent

NEW YORK'S CITY HALL.

Plans for a New Building Adopted
Despite the Lack Of Funds.
The eleventh annual exhibition of the
Architectural League of New York
closed the other evening with an exhi-
bition of the prize plans, made three
years ago, for the new city hall. In
1893 the Legislature passed an act
creating a board for the approval Of
designs for a new city hall on the site
Of the present one and appropriating
$1,000 to be distributed among the
architects competing. Seven Thousand
dollars was ITO be given to the architect
submit tting the best plan and the sum Of
$4,000 was ITO be given to each of five
others submitting what the committee
believed to be the next best plans. A
year after the passage Of the act appro-
priating the money the Legislature de-
cided that New York did not need a
new municipal building in City Hall
Park and the project was abandoned.
The agreement with the architects had
to be kept, however, and six weeks ago
the award for the prize plans was made.
The prize plan provides for a five-story
edifice with mansard roof and rese]n-
bles in general appearance any one Of
a dozen buildings throughout the coun-
try. The structure would occupy all
the space covered by the present city
hall and make a horseshoe, inside Of
which the present county courthouse
would be hidden except from the Cham
bers street side-NeW York Journal.

A leading American ornithologist
says that some of our most desira BILE
birds are threatened with extermina-
ton. The common quail and ruffled
grouse are becoming very scarce.
Wrens and bluebirds are driven from
their old haunts by sparrows. Terms
are slaughtered by thousands for the
millinery business, and Florida is sim
ilarly despoiled of it's herons, ibis, peli-
cans and smaller birds. The wild pig
con has disappeared. Fashion at pres
ent Is the greatest enemy of bird life,
but collectors of eggs are also respon-
sible for great destruction. Protection
of birds must come through the educa-
ton of the people, especially the rising
generation, and by protective legisla-
tion sustained by game wardens. Thus
far no State Legislature has given the
subject the attention it deserves, and
must soon demand if the present raw
ages continue.

The militia Of the country eligible for
service, according to the most recent
tabulation, are less than one-seventh
Of the population. This is quite re-
duction i'll the proportion from colonial
times. In his memora bic address be-
fore the Virginia House of Burgesses
Patrick Henry said: I'VE are three
millions Of people, one-ffth fighting
men," But perhaps Patrick Henry was
a better orator than statistician, and
he may have reckoned some as fighting
men who would not have been so class
ed under the rules now governing eli
gibility for service. However. we have
sufficient fighting material for all prac-
teal purposes. What this country needs
now is more peacemakers.
