Christmas Presents.

Christmas is near at hand,a as we
suppose everybody expects to make
somebody present Of some kind
according to time honored custom,
we offer few suggestions on the
subject. And first, make presents.
Some one may Or may not have
claim on you, nevertheless in either
case make up your mind to present
some one with, even cheap or small
gift at Christmas. Don't be mean
and niggarolly. 1t will do you more
good than it will the recipient.
Second, in making presents of
course yon will remember the little
ones of your home. Encourage
them to hang up their stockings,and
see to it that they are we'll filled.
Tell them about Santa. Claus and
his RENDERS, and OF his descent
down the chimney. even though
some over pious people may accuse
you of lying. We have no sympa
thy with those strainers who would
rob the children of the happy and
harmless illusion which surrounds
childhood, that Santa Claus with
his reindeers, is a real parsonage.
We repeat. see to it that the chill
dren are not disappointed at Christ
mas time.
Third, Don't forget the old PEG.
pie. If there are aged ones in the
house, by all means remember them.
They are too prone perhaps, to i'm
agine themselves in the way, and
not wanted around. 1t may be the
last Christmas they will be with you.
Don't by any means slight or forget
the "old folks at home.".
And last make your gifts useful
if possible. Much money ia wasted
in gifts entirely out Of place, inap.
propriate and useless. Let your gifts
be according to your means, and OF
such character rs to be useful, if
possible. If there are children and
others around you whose conditions
forbid presents, remember them.
In this especially do we ex
hibit true nobility and love.

A FIENDISH PLOT.
Conspirator in a Murder Scheme
was to Use Diphtheria Germs
in Lieu of Poison.

Bloomsbury, Pa, May 27.-The third
day of the trial of T. S. Wentersteen for
conspiracy to murder by an attempt to
blow up the residence of Levi E. Waller
with dynamite was resumed today.
Clifton Knorr, whose testimony yes
terday created profound sensation,
gave a long account of the events follow
ing his flight to Reading. He said that
Wintersteen had coached him thoroughly
in the part he had to play and promised
to defend him in case he was arrested.
He also told how he corresponded with
.Nintersteen under the name OF MISS
Name Wilson to prevent being traced
by his letters.
The story was long and somewhat
involved but sounded more like sensa-
tional novel than relation OF actual
facts Wintersteen, according to knorr,
displayed fiendsh ingenuity in his plans
to battle the detectives and carry out his
plots. When the desirability of murder
ing Mrs. Knorr was preached, witness
said Wintersteen had gotten dlphtherla
germs to use in lieu of poison to prevent
detection of the crime. However, the
witness said he had not administered
them, but had destroyed the germs
Levi Waller, upon whose life the at
tempt was made, is a son Of an eminent
Presbyterian divine and was member
of the Legislature from this county. lie
is a brother of David J. Waller, late SUI
perintendent of public instruction in this
state.
Mrs. Waller. whose life was also en-
dangered by the explosion, is daughter
of former United States Senator and
Congressman Charles r. Buckalew, who
was also United States minister to Peru
and who was defeated by Hartranft for
governor of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Wintersteen has a large law prac-
tice and is also actively interested in the
Bloomsbury Car company, Brass and
Copper company, keystone Foundry and
Machine company. He is a man of am
pie means.
Wintersteen, Knorr says, had hated
Waller for several years. 1t began in a
social feud and was carried into law
suits. Col Samuel S. Knorr, Clifton
Knorr's father, and Wintersteen had
been partners, the latter having COM
menced the study of law as the colonels

BALL PLAY ER'S MONEY GONE.
w. f. Butchison Mourns the Departure
of ST. Louis Hotel Clerk.

ST. Louis, Mo-. May 27.-The disap-
at the Lindell hotel, was simultaneous
with the disappearance Of $500 left in
his care by w. f. Hutchinson, the ball
player. Hutchinson, who has been re-
leased by the Browns manager, intend
ed to leave the city the next day and
planted" his money with Stewart for
safety. The hotel people are reluctant
to believe that Stewart is a defaulter
and advance several theories accounting
for his absence. They resist the demand
of Hutchinson for his money, claiming
they are not liable, as Hutchinson was
not a guest, and that if Stewart took the
money it was purely a breach of trust.

its annual meeting last night at the M.

ablest, most entertaining and most uni

ever held in this city. The orations were,
without exception, ably and carefully
