The Late Bishop Rulisou.

The New York Tribune of Sept
ember 9th says:
The Right Rev. DIR. Nelson Somer-
Vile Rullson, Bishop of Central
Pennsylvania Episcopal diocese, who
died abroad on Wednesday, had a
peculiarly rich, sweet voice, both IN
speaking and singing, though to the
stranger his enunciation of certain
sounds seemed rather indlstinct. HIS
intoning of the Litany at the conse-
Grafton of the Rev. DR.. Henry Yates
Satterlee, as Bishop Of Washington,
in Calvary Church, this city, was one
of the most impressive features Of
that imposing ceremony. Bishop
Rulison's was a particularly lovable
character, combining the most charm
ing gent.eness and the tenderest sym
pathy with a manly hrmness an'
courage OF the most emphatic type
He was remarkably handsome man
and in the majestic robes of his orde
presented an unusually commandln
figure. His last pastoral charge b
| fore his elevation to the eplscopat
was St. Pauls Church, Clevelan'
Ohio, to the rectorship of which tn
Rev. Dr. George H. McGrew, of tn
city, has recently gone.

Shamokin is a sporty town. Its
papers continually tell of its wonder
full growth and many advantages,
and yet it had not loose capital
enough to keep very ordinary CLUB
of base ball players to the end OF the
season, and twice allowed such an Or
ganization to disband for want OF
support. Now that the season is
young, it has already amour ced with :,
much flourish that good Foot Ball
team has been organized there, and
calls for meeting of sports to put 1t
on solid basis. Solid basis means
that all the sports of the place shall
come together and throw in their
mite to buy ball. Then the said
papers will declare they are fully
equipped to meet all comers, aid
when the snow flies there will be a
ball much deprecated in value, and a
victory or two over some primary
school children. It's great to be

The Bicycle Pin.

The newest craze among wheel
women Is the bicycle pin. This, 1t is
said, will be very popular. If SO 1t
will be owing to the bicycle craze and
not to any amount of beauty in the
min. 1t is about the ugliest thing the
jewelers. have as yet designed in their
efforts to please wheelwomen. 1t Is
about one inch in dimension, nina
ture wheel in gold, with silver gearlngs
and colored enameled handle bars,
and small jewel in place OF a screw
Some of these little affairs are quite
elaborately carved, but altogether the
effect is neither pretty nor graceiu,
Still, it is the latest fad, and all wheel
women seem we'll pleased at thel
possession. 1t is but a modern cast
of the old woman who kissed the COW

TREY DESERVE PUNISHMENT.

The following article, appeared in
Tuesdays issue of the Danvllle SHn.
The two young men, whoever they
are, and whether they are from Blooms

this kind are becoming far too numer-

done to stop the internal practice. 1t
says:
ga young lady from South Dan
vile, whose name is withheld, met
with a shocking adventure on Sunday
night through an indiscreet habit, OF
taking up with strange men. Two
Young bloods from Bloomsbury, whose
names are likewise withheld for the
present, during the day drove down
to this place, and in the evening in
duced the young lady above alluded
to and a girl companion also from
South Danville to accompany them
on drive. Instead of taking them
across the river to their homes as they
promised they would, they drove them
out Bloom road as far as Rlshels
woods.

Sunday last was great day for
Methodists. Their new church on
the corner of Market and Third streets,
colossal IN proportions, convenient IN
all its arrangements, and complete IN
every detail, was dedicated to the
worship Of God.
Through the indomitable energy
and perseverance of Rev B. {. Connor
DID, the pastor in charge, backed by /
board of trustees and other officers
of enterprising and progressive spirit,
the project of erecting new church
has eliminated, and better yet, through
the lberality of the members and the
gifts Of some not connected with the
congregation, a sufficient amount OF
money has been subscribed to nearly
pay the debt incurred in its erection.
BY the courtesy OF DR.. Connor we
present good cut of the church,
though it does not give an accurate
idea of the size of the building owing
to the impossibility of getting a mega
tive that would take it all IN. Inc
plans were prepared by Mr.. Lonsdale
of Philadelphia, and the contract Tor
the entire building exclusive OF glass,
furniture, carpets, light and heat
fixtures, was awarded to B. w. Jury
for $3oSso. The sub-contractors
for the stone work were T. l.. Evans
& Son of Danville, and during its con
struction the senior member OF TINS
firm lost his life by falling from tht
top of the wall to the ground, at
point now marked by a memorla
window contributed by his fellow-worK
men.

predicted by THE LEADER ever since
the war began II was the logical
result.
Colonel Barnes was told by all the
powers that hoped 70 be- three
months before the election, that he
would be the unanimous choice OF his
party for chief executive, that he was
to have a quit-claim deed to that Office,
and the same could 90 to record at any
time.
Yet, no sooner had the election o.
Mckinley and the defeat OF Flynr
been announced, than the repudiatior
of the promises made was sought to bt

promised, and believed the good
would be delivered, and the resul

that Colonel Barnes was 10 be tn,
