A Notable Convention.

Pittsburg has perhaps, never been the
scene of more notable religious gather
ing than the Methodist Episcopal
church congress, which began six
DAYS session at Christ church Monday.
In conception, purpose and treatment
it is uniqne in ecclesiastical annals and
marks an epoch in religious history.
The call for the congress which was
signed by Bishops Vincent, Ninde and
Fitzgerald and many prominent Metho-
dist educators, says:
The congress does not propose to IN
vite or favor destructive criticism of
existing institutions; but simply TO
bring out from persons representing
different phases Of intellectual activity,
frank expression as to whether the
church can meet any more fully than it
does the demands of our times; and if so
wherein its activities may be modified
or directed to advantage. The congress
will not concern itself with questions
Of church policy but with issues bearing
upon the relation of the church to the
thought and life of the people as affect
ed by current scientific and literary
teachings. The congress will aim to
secure an adequate presentation of the
tendencies of current scientific and lit
cry teachings and also suggestions rs to
the best service to be restored by the
church in interpreting those tendencies
for the spiritual and intellectual advan-
tage Of its followers
The greatest minds in the NJ E. min
istry from all over the country were
present.

Must Doctors Respond to Calls?

The refusal of prominent Chicago
physician to respond to night call mas
attracted considerable attention from
the secular press. We are glad of 1t.
We hope it will continue until the rela-
tions of the medical profession to the
community ar. fully comprehended,
saws an exchange, When the people
fully understand that the doctor edu-
Gates himself, pays for the privilege OF
attending clinics at the public hospital,
supports himself and receives absolute
ly no privileges or emoluments of any
kind from the public, except that OF
paying license fees and wearing TIN
tag. like any huckster, men may inquire
why they are expected to owe rany ser
vice to the public.
True there is the moral obligation
entailed by their education and the
position they hold in the community
But the moral obligation concerns them
selves alone, and is not one on which
the public can place any demand upon
them. And the highest moral obliga-
ton upon them Is to support their self
and family. Consequently, their first
duty is to secure an adequate remunera-
ton for their services from those who
are aole to pay for them.
Many views were expressed by differ
ent physicians on this question, and
some require comment.
When a doctor attends everyone who
calls ON him, with the expectation OF
realizing some go per cent. of his fees,
he must not call the other 40 per cent.

collects it if he is able; and he cannot
call charity his uncollected accounts.
If he knows he will not be able to col
lect bill and still gives his services to
| that party, it is really charity; but the
doubtful cases must be ciassed as specu-
| lation.

In Pine Creek Valley.

When Washington was returning
from his mission to she French did ne
come out on the Allegheny through
the Pine creek valley? His journal of
that is not at hand. and if it were,
might not assist much in the solution OF
the question. In haste TO reach home,
taking Christopher Gist with him, ne
left the rest of his companions far up
the river and struck across the country
on foot. Pine creek heads in the neigh
borhood of the Butler county line; the
mouth of the creek is almost due south
of the Venango of his day and of the
Franklin of ours; consequently the con
lecture is reasonable that he and Giist
came down the valley of that creek.
Gist very likely knew of the island lat
er called Wainwrights. now a part of
the mainland, and so they decended the
north shore of the river to n point near
the FortietE street bridge, and there
constructed the raft on which to pole
their way through the ice to the island.
Why was the creek called Pineg 1t had
that name before the revolution, as IL is
so designated on Pownalls map. 1t
1t was so called doubtless because of the
abundance of pine which grew in the
valley of it, remainders of which appear
in the patches of beautiful green to be
seen now amid the russet and brown OF
other trees. Last Sunday was the ami
versary of Washington arrival at the
cabin OF John Frazer, at Turtle Creek
the site of whose cabin is covered by
the Edgar Thomson steel works, as
judged from an old map. He arrived
there November 81, 1888, and the next
day he and Gist visited the Point, theu
on their way to the French. These
facts were suggested by a walk in the
Pine creek valley last Sunday, remark
able for It's beauty. The 21st of Novem-
Der, 1853, was a very different kind of a
daY-rainy, and gloomy as yesterday
hereabouts. Pittsburg News.

THANKSGIVING.

sons for thanksgiving may not be many
but our national are numerous we

for improvement in our commercial
conditions has followed the settlement
of our financial difficulties by establish

HARRISBURG.

At the regular meeting of the State
Board of Health held few days
ago the baleful influence of the anti Vac
cination League was referred to, and
its deplorable efforts to undermine pub
lie confidence in the well established
value of this preventative measure
strongly condemned. Recognition was
also taken of the successful ef-
forts of the Womans Health Pro
tective Association. of Philadelphia,
to have passed the law providing for
the sanitary inspection of bakeries,
bake shops and similar establishments.
A list of fourty-four complaints was
received from localities afflicted with
polluted water supplies. A year ago
similar list contained but twenty COM
plants.
Major Isaac B. Brown, superintend-
ent of the State Railroad Bureau, has
referred thirry-o -one companies to Attor-
ney General McC Cormick, who will at
once institute proceedings against them
for their failure to comply with the Act
requiring them to make an annual re-
port to the Secretary of Internal AT
fairs. Each company is liable to fine
of s., 900 for its neglect.
State officials, generally, are disap-
pointed at the continuation until the
January term of court of the cases in
which Sheriff Martin, of Luzerne coun-
ty, is defendant on the charge of MUIR
der. They were in hopes that pre-
cedent would be established immedi-
ately.
Auditor General Mylin is gathering
data and information to be used III a
report to the next Legislature on the
revenue bill framed by the Pennsylva-
MIA Tax Conference and defeated by
the Senate in the session of 1895. The
oranges believe this measure will re-
lieve them of the burdens Of taxation,
and are making systematic effort to
secure its enactment by the next Leg
islature.
General Mylin is not certain as to
whether this bill will raise sufficient rev.
enue to meet the public expenses, and is
making the investigation to ascertain
just how much money it will raise. He
has forwarded to every corporation in
the commonwealth blank forms to be
filled up for the tax year ending Novem-
ber O. 1896, and returned to the depart
ment by December 1.
For the last twenty years demand
has been made in this State for the en-
actment of tax laws which will bring
about more complete equalization of
taxation than has heretofore existed.
A number Of commissions have been
appointed, and they submitted at differ
ent times to the Legislature reports and
bills to bring about this desirable end
without ever receiving the approval of
the General Assembly. Still the agita
ton for the reform Of taxation continues
unabated, the leading advocates being
grangers and members of the Farmers
Alliance.
The next Legislature will either have
to make provision for more revenue or
reduce the public expenses. Auditor
General Mylin and State Treasurer
Haywood are satisfied that there will be
a deficiency in the public fund before
the close of the coming year. The ex
isting law has been in force for eight
years and is regarded by students of
taxation as unjust and unfair to certain
classes in the interest of others

AN English physician calls attention
to means of keeping pneumonia,
colds, chills and all the ailments that
cold weather brings on, at q distance.
Deep and forced respirations, he says,
will keep the entire body in a glow IN
the soldest weather, no matter how
thinly one may be clad. He was him
self half frozen to death one night, and
began taking deep breaths and keeping
the air in his lungs as long as possible.
The result was that he was thoroughly
comfortable in a few minutes. The
deep respirations, he says. stimulate
the blood current by direct muscular
exertion, and cause the entire system
to become pervaded with the rapidly
generated heat.

THERE are now 1850 convicts in the
Western Penitentiary, and 30 of these
will be thrown out of employment after
Jan. l, 1898. when the new law regulat-
ing the manufacture Of goods in pris-
ons goes into effct. BY the provisions
of the law, only certain percentage of
the convicts can be employed at any
particular trade. To force these men
to spend the weary months and years in
absolute idleness while in solitary con-
finement, is a cruel hardship Some
way of employing them should be devils
ed. Human beings must have some
thing in which to take interest and
