Bishop Oller Dead.

Jacob Franklin Oller, of Waynesboro, Pa,
Bishop of the Church of Pennsylvania, died
at the Johns Hopkins Hospital on Saturday,
January 30. He had been at the hospital
about two weeks and was operated upon for
cancer of the stomach by Dr. Halstead last
week. Twice before, in March and Septem
her, 1896, he was also operated upon. This
time, however, the growth of the cancer in
volved the abdominal organs to so great an
extent that the shock of the operation caused
death. The remains were taken to Waynes-
boro at o'clock in the afternoon. His son,
J. j. Oller, and his son-in-law, Silas E.
Dubbel accompanied the remains on the
train.
Bishop Oller was born in Franklin county,
Pa, in 1925, and had lived in Waynesboro all
his life. He entered the ministry of the Ger
man Baptist Brethren Church 40 years ago.
and Is years ago was consecrated a bishop,
but retained his pastorate of the church in
Waynesboro. He was largely interested in
the Geiser Manufacturing Company, of which
his son is treasurer. He leaves widow and
six children, three sons and three daughters.

rived here today from south side Cuban
ports. Shortly after noon Thursday,
May q. as the ship was leaving the
harbor of Guantanamo, having already
saluted the forts and taken down her
colors, the Spanish cruiser Maria Mer-

across the Valencia's bows. This was
quickly followed by a solid shot, which
dropped close under the Valencia ;
stern. The Valencia then showed her
colors. and the cruiser steamed away
toward Santiago. Captain Skillings,
while not willing TO make any state

cruiser. said that the Valencia was no

cession, as published. has given UNI
bragg to the Liberals, owing to the
utter absence of recognition of the civil
and industrial side of the queens
reign. The Daily Chronicle is very
outspoken on this subject. especially
at the emitting of Mr.. Gladstone, and
asks: What kind of show is it that
gives a prominent place TO the SOL
diers of Emperor William and to the
representatives Of Turkish barbarism,
and excludes the greatest living Eng
disappearing statesman of the age?'
Continuing the Chronicle remarks:
THE Victorian era is conspicuous
above all in the progress of labor and
the steady growth of self government.
Yet the working classes are ignored.
A still more striking fact is that the
presiding officers of the two houses of
parliament are not recognized. The
speakers Office is centuries old He is
the first commoner in England, pre-
sides over the most famous representa-
tive institution, and is the figurehead
of democratic government, yet he has
no place in the procession. What will
the colonials, who are welded to pure
democracy, think of this?"
In conclusion the Chronicle says: "If
the crown has done something for the
country, it is also true that the country
has done much for the crown, for its
own progress and for the general cause
of human welfare"
