Walker-sehrock Wedding.

The marriage of Charles Willard Walk
er, Esq, and Miss Susan Colborn Schrock,
in the Disciple Church, Wednesday after
noon, was witnessed by large company
of invited guests. Miss Elsie Snyder
presided at the organ and played three or
four selections while the guests were as
sembling. The ushers were Messrs. Geo.
J. Krebs, A. l.. q. Hay, Robert Beerits
and Geo. w. Benford. The raised seats
to the right of the pulpit, occupied by the
Church choir, were reserved for the young
ladies and gentlemen of the brides and
groom's social set. Potted plants and
autumn leaves played Appointment part in
the church decorations and were arranged
with artistic skill. Six pews in front of
the pulpit, marked by streamers of white
ribbon, were occupied by relatives of the
contracting parties. When the hour of
one arrived there was a rustic of gowns
in the yestibule and moment later the
soft strains of the wedding march ascend
ed from the organ. The groom, accom-
panied by his best man, Mr.. John Bral-
lier, of Berlin, marched down the right
aisle, while the bride, holding the arm of
her father, and followed by the brides
maid, Miss Helen Schrock, and Miss
Edna Kimmel and Master William Lam
bert, as attendants, and two wee little
relatives of the bride, Gladys Lambert
and Emily Kimmel, as flower girls, pro-
ceeded up the left aisle to the foot of the
pulpit where they were met by the olh-
ciating clergyman, Elder William Null
lendore After he had placed his daught-
er's hand in the hand of the groom Mr..
Schrock retired to a seat by the side OF his
wife. The ceremony WAS very pretty
and impressive, and at its conclusion the
bridal party retired down the left aisle
aud soon afterwards were driven 20 the
home of the brides parents, where
wedding dinner was served to some
eighty persons who had been invited TO
the house. Mr.. and Mrs. Walker took
the $40 train for Pittsburg. and from
there proceeded to Chicago and other
western cities. Upon their return they
will occupy quarters at the Somerset
House until the groom has erected resi-
dence on Union Street. The bride re-
ceived large number of handsome
presents.

Collectors Can Appoint.

A dispatch from Washington TO the
stood that the department of justice
through Assistant Attorney General
Boyd has rendered an opinion that will
be welcomed by collectors OF internal
revenue and United States marshals
who desire to appoint their own deputies.
The opinion is in the case of James T..
Brady, collector of internal revenue of
Virginia, who discharged the democratic
deputy collectors i'm his Office as soon as
he had been installed as collector.
Collector Brady's action aroused a
storm of protests and the democratic dep
uties objected to giving up their good
Jobs The matter was taken before Sec
retary Gage, aud the latter asked the de-
partnent of justice for an opinion The
secretary himself seems TO have little
doubt as to the authority of a collector to
remos deputies and appoint them at his
pleasure. He has. in fact, written letter
sustaining Collector Brady in the latter's
contention that as deputies are appointed
by collectors and are responsible TO the
latter and the latter responsible for them,
he should have the privilege of choosing
these officers himself.
The secretary further holds that the
collector should not be compelled to select
his deputies from an eligible list submit
ted by the civil service commission. He
says in his letter that in his opinion the
efficiency of the service would be inter-
fered with if the collector was compelled
to wait for an eligible list to be submitted
before he could appoint his deputies.
1t is reported that the assistant attor-
ney general holds that the tenure of a
deputy collector or a deputy marshal
rans with that of his chief, because it
was by him that the appointment was
made.
Furthermore, the attorney general
holds that no Official of the government
can be compelled TO do anything that is
not expressly required of him by law.
The President, therefore, cannot prevent
a collector of internal revenue from re-
moving men from Office.
This opinion viii be of great interest
to collectors of internal revenue every

Po iticians.


From the Lancaster inquirer.
There are few things more idiotic than
the abuse that is heaped on class Of peo-
pie who take an interest in public affairs.

with them give effect to their view

stint by all classes of dirt throwers, from
pompous and self-important ofiieeholder.
who elings 10 position he gained in all
probability through the exertions and in
, fluence of the very class he affects to
despise. There is no more useful and
patriotic class Of people than the politi-
clans; nor is there any class Of people
more clearly entitled to the gratitude Of
their fellow citizens. IL is true that
many Of them are not what they should
be In all respects; but this may be said of
any class of people in the community.
There are the Business Men, a term very
popular nowadays; they are a most useful
class of citizens; but it would be easy to
poin. out that many Of them are no more
remarkable for integrity and unselfish-
ness than the active politicians are. So
of any other class of people whom we
might name-dOctOrs, lawyers, clergy
men or teachers-all contain men To
whom exceptions can be made; but they
are not 10 be judged in this way but by
the fact that they pursue business which
in itself i useful and in no way calculat-
ed 10 injnre or destroy the character Of
those who follow IT,
Our experience in the field of politics
leads US to the belief that there is no class
of men actively engaged in the affairs OF
life whose word can be more safely relied
upon than those who are known as poll
ticians; nor any who are mOIe ready and
willing to do generous and unselfish
action. We say this with full knOwl-
edge of the bitter hostility that has been
aroused against them as class but also
with knowledge Of the facts that will
sustain our statement.
And yet the press teens with abuse of
this class OF citizens, and the pulpit
echoes and sanctifies il. From one end
of the Nation to the other "a mere poll
tieian" is held up 70 the contempt Of the
community until some well disposed
people are really induced to believe that
politician Is very bad man and un-
worthy of the respect and confidence of
his fellow citizens.
A little serious reflection ought to con-
vince any Intelligent man that such an
impression is totally false. II man
takes an interest in public affairs, does
his bsst to have the voters who agree
with him turn out and vote their prefer
ence at the elections, and busies himself
in seeing that the issues there decided
are fully set forth before the people-he
is politician. That there j. in this any
reason for regarding him as an un-
worthy man is one of the delusiOns of the
day.

The building ofa town such as Wind
people of Somerset county. Other towns
will spring up in the new coal region and
the territory north and east of Somerset
will be greatly benefited in the way of a
home market.
Cambria, Fayette and Westmoreland
counties have long been the scene of
great mining activity, while the coal
beds of Somerset. ss rich as any of them,
have escaped attention and are only now
being brought TO the notice of capitalists.
In addition to the holdings of the Ber-
wind-White Company. other large syndi-
Gates have purchased immense tracts of
Somerset county coal, and prospectors
are daily going over the county seeking
investments, so that in few years SOM
erset county will be one of the busiest
coal centres in Western Pennsylvania
In addition 10 the work being done in
the north of the county all of the mines
along the s. & c. branch Of the b. 4 o.,
are in active operation, the most noticea-
BILE one being the Listie Company. who
during the past year has doubled its ca
pacity, and is now employing $50 men,
miners and laborers. A half-dozen new
tenements are in course oferection at Lis
tic, and the side track running to the mines
is being extended and the facilities for
handling coal are being increased. Su-
perintendent George Krebs is figuring on
purchasing an electric plant for the Listie
mines, and if business continues To i'm
prove rs it has done during the past sum-
mer, the "Krebs Nine will be operated
by electrical power next season.
Reports from the Meyersdale and Ber-
lin regions are of the most encouraging
character. All of the mines in those
fields are being operated, while new
openings are being made at Berlin and
increased railroad facilities are promised
the shippers at that place.
If the anticipations of the gentlemen
engaged in developing Somerset county
coal are realized, the population of the
county will be greatly augmented before
the next census is taken in 1900. The
present population of the county is about
10000 and it is claimed that the popula-
ton will reach 6o,00o in 1900.
With large increase in our population
the county expenditures will grow in
many directions, but in none more rap
idly than in the increased court business.

Baker rortup. . uvth.

The Pittsburg Sunday Dispatch says
Attorneys r. NJ. Ewing and X. I. Stoner,
counsel engaged by the Baker heirs asso-
citation to go to Philadelphia and investi-
gate the reports concerning the immense
fortune said TO belong TO the estate of ia
cob Baker, who died near the beginning
of the century, have returned home. They
were in Philadelphia three weeks. during
which time they carefully examined the
county and city records.
While refusing To discuss the matter be-
fore reporting 10 the association, from
hints to various heirs living in wilkins
burg the fabulous fortune of $3.50, 900, 600
has gone gliinmering. and il is said there
was no foundation in fact for the story
concerning Jacob Bakers dealings with
the city of Philadelphia. and the property
supposed to have been left to him. After
the report became circulated, heirs began
springing up i'm all parts of the country,
and, to date, about 800 have turned up.
NOT As REPoRTED.
Attorneys F. r. Stoner and II. NJ. Ew-
ing, of Pittsburg. who represented the
Association of Baker Heirs in its investi-
cation affer millions of property supposed
to have been LEFT in Philadelphia by Peter
Baker, on a 80 year lease, returned home
the latter part of last week, but, as pub
lished in morning paper. did not state
that the investigation was simply a frost.
While their endeavors have not been
crowned with the greatest of success,
they have made several discoveries of an
important character, and have left people
working ON the same in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Ewing said Monday that the ex-
animation had demonstrated to them that
no lease had been left by Peter Baker in
Philadelphia county. Whether or not it
WAS recorded in some other county is
question which can only be determined
by closer investigation. They found on
the records many Jacob and Peter Bak-
ers, nearly all of whom had property.
One of them owned property of consider
able value in North Carolina. The at
torneys are not through with this inves-
tigation by any means.
They claim to have found the lease
which Attorney Price reported. This
lease, Mr.. Ewing says, is one made July
10, l7o6, 10y William Callahan, French
man. to Sarah Baker. 1t was only a
small piece of ground, p by Is feet, in
Philadelphia, and the lease further pro-
vided that in case Callahan died outside
of Pennsylvania the property was to be
held in trust for Mrs. Bakers son, Henry
Julian Baker. He said it WAS an indefi-
mite thing and amounted to very little,
anyhow.

Baker association of Beaver county-W.

II. Eckert, of Beaver county-were work.
ing with them also. Beside the Philadel-
phia work, the attorneys examined rec
ords in Montgomery, Delaware and Lam
caster counties, and Mr.. Stoner went to
Harrisburg and Washington, ID. C. They
will probably go back to Philadelphia,
and if the matter pans out as they expect,
a legal fight will take place.-Pittsburg

Won s5oo.o00 by Hypuotism.

A contest has arisen at Canton, o., over
the will of Thomas X. Morgan, whose es-
tate is placed mt something over 81 10000
Three sons were made beneficiaries to the
extent of fone-twenty- ty-fourth each of the
estate. Another son was given ten
twenty-fourths.
1t is charged by the three sons and
other heirs that the favored son used
some hypnotic influence over Mr.. Nor
gan, which induced him to give him
more than his legal share. Ii is known
that the son favored has frequently ex-
ercised mesmerie power over the others,
and the contestants of the will set up the
claim that such power was used on the
decedent.

He win Not Resign.

Some time ago President Mckinley
sent to the Senate the name of Rev. David
ii. Shields, of Phillipsburg, formerly q
member of the Central Pennsylvania,
now of the Baltimore NJ. f. conference,
to fill one of the vacancies among army
chaplains. Soon after he received re-
quest from the President to resign. He
refused to do so and now the President
will request the Senate not to confirm
the appointment.
Rev. Shields is an eloqu ent preacher, Of
Irish birth. Until recently he was pas
tor of the NJ. E. church at Martinsburg,
Nd, through some of whose leading
members he received the presidential
plum. Some of the leading clergymen
and laynen opposed the appointment,
and charges against the reverend gentle
mans character were preferred. After
an investigation President Mckinley
called for the resignation.
