EDITOR DEMoCRAT; In your issue
of last week criticism appeared up
on report In the Now Star, of the
u. NJ. Conference held at Ridgeway.
The Stars report of that Conference
was written by Rev, NJ. ID. peavy, OF
this city, who was member of that
Conference. The editor OF The Star
had concluded not to discuss the re-
ligious differences of the u. NJ. Church
of Dodgevlle. He was absent for
several weeks, During that time the
report referred to was published. Rev.
pcavy did not know Of our desire to
keep out OF this controversy, and
therefore comment appears In his
article, which otherwise would not
Rev, peavy Is in every way worthy Of
confidence. II he made any statement
in that report that Is not fair, he was
not conscious of II mt the time, and we
cheerfully offer the free use Of the
columns OF The Star to anyone feeling
aggricvcd at what IL said in that re-
port. The criticism which appeared
in your paper is as follows:
"'rhe report of The New Star IL
really II scrccd on the Dodgcyilln
church, and It's worthy and hard
working pastor, and IL misleading,
incorrect and unreliable.
That is IA harsh criticism Now, II
Rev. Peavy and the writer OF the crit
cism have II difference IN this matter,
We cannot help them, because we were
not present at the happening of the
events referred to. We suggest, how
ever, that n little Christian charity
will go long way towards rcconcil-
ing the apparent differences between
these brethern.

TO Rise from it's Ashes,

MasonS have begun work rebuilding
the Cash Grocery House of Brewer
X Penhallegon, which was destroyed
by fire on the morning of May 1. The
proprictors deem it to the interests
of their patrons to push forward the
work as rapidly as possible. When
completed the structure will be modern
in all appointments, and their friends
and customers will enjoy the same
privileges and comforts as III the old
store, with many new advantages ad-
ded. They expect to be settled in their
new quarters not later than the first of
September. In the meantime they will
continue to push the business as here
toforc, rendering the best possible SER
vice under existing circumstances.

THEY DIED TOGETHER.
Sad Result of Parental Objection to
Marriage

SHAMoKIN. Pa, Sept. 26.-The bodies
OF Arthur W. May, aged "a years, and
Miss Cora kaseman, aged IS years, both
of Shamohin, were found in the black
smith shop of Joseph Smink. May had
Shot his sweetheart and then blew out
his own brains. The murderer and
suicide was blacksmith, and up to the
time of his death had been employed
by Mr.. Smink.
The couple had been lovers for some
time, and last week they arranged to
go away and be quietly married. The
parents of the young woman objected
to the marriage, and this caused post
ponement. Being thus opposed by the
parents of the girl, the young couple
evidently made up their minds
to end their troubles by dy-
ing together. They met Fri
day night and, it is supposed,
made all arrangements to carry out
their terrible plan. The girl left her
home at an early hour and went direct
to the blacksmith shop, where May
was in waiting. The couple went into
the second story of tho building, where
the tragedy was enacted.

THE SUGAR BEET.
Efforts of the Agricultural Department to
Secure Its Introduction aud Cultivation.

Efforts of the Agricultural Department to
secure Its Introduction aud Cultivation.
WASHINGTON, Sept 2s.-Secretary
,Wi.son II the agricultural department
has secured an order from the post
office department permitting the agents
OF the agricultural department to at
tach the department frank to packages
of sugar beet seed to be sent from
growers to the experiment stations
throughout the country for analysis.
Last spring the department sent sugar
beet seed to farmers in ~ states. 1t is
now the intention to test the beets
grown from these seed in the various
localities for sacCharne strength, and
it is desired that this work shall be
conducted at the experiment stations.
Under the arrangements made yes
terday with the post office department
the officials at the experiment stations
will be allowed to send postal franks
to all farmers to whom they supplied
seeds, by the use of which they can
send through the mails free of cost
VI pSNbo NV ioui
pounds in weight
Returns have been received from
some of the experimental growths,
and Secretary Wilson said yesterday
that the results were such as to en-
courage the belief that sugar beets
could be successfully grown in almost
all the states OF the Union.
Contrary to his expectation the best
reports have been received from the
south rather than from the north.
Beets grown in the vicinity OF Rich
mond, Va, give returns of from l3 to
Is per cent. of saccharine matter, and
from the Pecos valley in New Mexico
from IS to % per cent. In Europe an
average of I3 per cent. is considered
large.
1t is Mr.. Wilson's intention to dis
tribute twelve tons of sugar beet seed
next spring, Heretofore all the seeds
distributed by the department have
been procured in Europe. The grow
ers in Utah have promised three tons
this year, and it is expected that other
localities in the United States will fur
nish part Of the supply necessary.
