Elk County Man Had a Vision.

One OF the most preposterous false
hoods that has been sent broadcast
through this section for some time, is
the story OF the man who was turned
into stone for blasphemy. The lie has

places in Jefferson and Clarion counties.

fed man, which we publish just as it

Tribute to DR.. Rumberger.

DR.. C. G. Rumberger, the new pastor
of the NJ. T.. church, was here Sunday
to fill his pulpit He will move to
Reynoldsville this week. Speaking OF
the departure of DR.. Rumberger and
family from East Brady, the Reriew OF
that place pays this tribute to them:
Rev. G. C. Rumberger delivered his
farewell sermon in the M. T.. church on
Sunday evening and on Tuesday left for
Oil City accompanied by his wife and
daughter, Miss Mary, to attend the an
nual conference OF this district. Rev.
Rumberger has been the pastor OF the
church at this place for five years, the
longest any minister has held the charge
and the longest term allowed any minis
ter OF this denomination to remain the
pastor OF one church. He has been q
power for good in this community and
there are hundreds OF people who feel
the most profound regret that he must
leave. One of the strongest character
istics Of the retiring minister Is his
energy. He Is absolutely indefatigable
and his capacity for work is unlimited,
which accounts in the greatest measure
for his success. The church has been
built up in structure as we'll as member
ship, and he has left behind reputa
tion and record that is excelled by none
A physician who had given up large
practice to enter the ministry, he rem
dered skillful assistance to many poor
and needy families In the community
and wherever there was sickness, out
side of his congregation as we'll as in 1t
there DR.. Rumberger was found, and
he always brought comfort and hope
and by his happy presence drove away
many a cloud that hung low over {
home. BY old and young he will bt
greatly missed, and by none SO much al
those who enjoy the beauties Of nature
as his active mind found vent In out
Of-dOOr sports and recreation of various
kinds. His wife stands to the front alst
side by side with him in the grand worl
that has been accomplished and w
doubt not that he will give the littl,
lady who has shared his lot most Of the
credit for the success OF his work herr
which she deserves. Rev. and Mrs
Rumberger and daughter, Miss Mary
will leave behind larger number o
friends, both In and out of the congre
CATION he so ably presided over, than i
generally the lot OF the average minis
ter, and the kindest wishes will follow
them to their new charge, wherever /

SEPARATED HALF CENTURY AGO.
A Pittsburger Finds an Uncle in Reyn-
oldsville Whom He Never Saw Before.

Henry j. Cartiu, who has lived in
Reynoldsville a score of years, was born
in City Droheda, Ireland. about eighty
six years ago. When young man he
drifted from the isle of the Shamrock"
to America, locating at Greenwood, Pa.
Afterwards living at Birmingham,
Belefonte, Brookville and Reynolds
Vile. In 1850 Nicholas Carten came
from Boston, Mass, to Greenwood, Pa,
to visit his brother, Henry j. Nicholas
returned to Boston and soon afterwards
moved to Pittsburg and afterwards to
Ironton, Ohio. and Henry moved to
Birmingham, Pa. Thus the brothers
lost track of each other and never met
again. Seven years ago Nicholas
crossed over the border line into eter-
nifty.
II. J. Carten, who lives in Pittsburg
and has position in the circulation
department of the Pittsburg Times, was
sent out several weeks ago to work up
the circulation of that paper in this Sec
tion. Through barber at New Beth
lehem he learned that there was man
in Reynoldsville named II. j. Cartin,
and from what he gathered there and
at Brookville he was positive it was the
lost uncle whom he had never seen
but whom he was named after and had
often Mard his father talk about. The
newspaper representative got into
Reynoldsville on Saturday evening, llth
inst, and on the following day called at
the home of H. j. Cartin, on Jackson
street, to establish relationship,
which he was not long in doing.
His old uncle. who is now totteriug on
the verge of the grave, was delighted
to see his nephew and learn something
OF the brother from whom he had not
heard for forty-seven years.
In Ireland the family name was spelled
Carten, but In some way our townsman
changed the spelling of his name from
Carten to Cartin, hut Nicholas and his
family stuck to the good old Irish way
of spelling the name.

Dogs of Constantinople.

Oswald Garrison Willard writes an
article on 1.-THE Street dogs of Con-
stantinople" for September St.
Nicholas. Mr.. Willard says:
The reason why there sre so few
dogs who have homes and masters
is not hard to find. 1t is because
the Turks have queer idea-it is
part of their queer religion-that
dogs are such uucean animals that
they must never be allowed to enter
house. On the street, however,
they feed them and even pet them {;
and when man knows that he has
donesomething wrong, he will often
try to make up for ii by feeding all
the dogs he can find. Sometimes
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1897-09-17

when rich Turks die they leave sums
of money to be spent in feeding the
street dogs just as in America people
leave money to the Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Animal
The Turks never strike or hurt dog
so if, as sometimes happens in Con-
stantinople, you see'a man kicking
or beating some poor, bowling
animal, you may be very sure that
he is Greek or an Armenian. Nor
do the Turks ever kill vagrant dogs,
but think it right to allow them to
exist as best they can.
So there have come to be in the
streets of Constantinople hundreds
and hundreds Of wolf-like dogs,
about the size Of small settlers or
pointers, but different from them in
that they have narrow, long heads.
Yellow dogs, black dogs, brown
dogs and white dogs, you see them
everywhere on The sidewalks, in the
cutters, on the doorsteps, under the
carriages, in every corner or hole
into which dog can creep and curl
himself up into bunch. All day
long they lie huddled up or stretched
out on their sides, fast asleep,
no matter how much noise goes on
about them. In the busiest business
streets they lie twos and threes in
the middle of the sidewalk, where
hundreds of patient people step over
them, or go around them. and never
think OF making them get out of the
way. In the side streets and small
squares there are often assemblages
OF twenty or twenty-five sleeping in
the greatest peace and harmony,
until some dog from another street
ventures in, when there is at once a
great deal of barking, and some
times severe fighting; for even if
these dogs have no homes, they
have certain districts. or places,
which they consider their own, and
will not permit one not belonging
to their particular set to enter
Thus the street of butchers in the
incest quarter Of Constantinople,
has some twenty or more dogs who
are always to be found there. saw
two dogs lying day after day in
front OF one of the great banks; and
one fond mother-dog brought up
tour puppies in an uncovered box
at the gateway of the British
