whole family at Earnest Station, Penn,
recently for vagrancy. The family
consists of John Zhend, his wife and
four children. For several weeks they
have been making their home in the
solitary waiting room of that station
and FOUGHT desperately to retain their
abiding PLACE. To Magistrate Len

THE OLD HYMN.

I sat within vacant room,
A low celled room, quaint-shaped, oak
beamed.
With the windows looking off to sea-
Ger which the sunsets glory streamed
watched the far-off fitting sails,
And Halfway Rock" that looming
A tower from the heaving sea
Wherein the scattered isles repose.
And some one near me gently played
A dear old hymn that stirred my heart;
Twas Children of the Heavenly
King"
And what 1t woke made quick tears
start.
The long years seemed to backward
turn,
And l little child again,
Held fast within his strong arms clasp,
While soft he crooned the old refrain.
Oh! just once more to be that child,
And know again the blssful rest,
The old hymn brought me, rocked to
sleep
With pillowed head upon his breast!
But only yet little while,
Though earth may call it years that
creep,
know he'll come to me again,
And rock me to eternal sleep.

An Eagle Saved from Drowning.

James Johnson and Michael Burns,
fishermen, rowed two miles cut into the
lake Sunday afternoon to rescue a sup
posed drowning man, and returned
with large bald eagle, which had fall
en- into the water exhausted, and whose
founderings resembled those of tired
swimmer. The bird still had strength
enough to give battle to the fishermen,
and its beak and talons were active un-
til a fish net thrown over it's head
Quieted its struggles. 1t is thought the
bird escaped from some menagerie, and
that its long-unused wings failed it
when the flight across the lake was at
tempted.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Clairsville, who has. a host of friends
here:
Tiger Mcfarland will return to
his home in st. Clairsville, An in
jury early in the season kept the only
tackle from playing in but few games
this season. Mcfarland is considered
a Greensburg boy. He has been here
for two seasons and always returns to
Westmoreland county every few
months during the summer season to
visit his many friends. Had he not
been unfortunate in Latrobe and been
able to play in all the games, he would
have been considered the best tackle
in the Western Pennsylvania circuit.
He was playing in that form when he
was compelled to quit the game. Nc
Farand will be with the maroon and
white next year. He attends to bust
ness of his own during the winter"

Warrington. December The Unit
ed Btates government Is being called
upon to face some questions Of Inter-
est. resulting in the expansion policy.
The British government. some time be-
fore the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States, filed with Hawaii num-
Der of claims for redress for the i'll
treatment and illegal confinement of
British subjects. involved in the revo-
lutionary movement which overthrow
the queen. These amount to several
hundred thousand dollars in the aggre-
gate, and the question is, the Hawaiian
government having failed to settle
them, whether the United States gov
eminent does not inherit liability. The
claims are just such as were filed by
the late Secretary Gresham against the
Hawaiian government in behalf of a
number of alleged American citizens,
most of whom afterwards turned out TO
be aliens. None of cur claims was
pressed. but they formed the founda-
ton of the British claims.
Another question of more import
ance is the determination of the status
of some of our newly acquired citizens
or subjects. Already a Chinaman by
birth. but Philippine by citizenship,
has applied for recognition as an AM
erican citizen. Another Chinaman in
Hawaii wants passport showing he is
a citizen of the United States. The
annexation law prohibits the coming
into the limits of the United States of
Chinese persons from Hawaii. but the
unconstitutionality of any act that pro-
poses to discriminate among American
citizens has been raised and this China
man is citizen by adoption. These
are few of the questions that have al
ready arisen and others are expected TO
follow in the near future.
