Jubilee will be held this year, and
an Offering made for the COLLEGE

located at Mt. Airy Germantown
i promises 10 be . memorable oc-
casion when all will have an oppor-

-. Last Sunday in the Lutheran
and Reformed Sunday school eight
boys with A. II. Hendricks teacher
and seven girls with Lottie Hilbish
as teacher were promoted from the
infant department to the advanced
school. 1t was an interesting sight
and calculated to arouse feelings Of
gratitude in those who are faithful
to this good work when these classes
entered the room attended by their
teachers and Supt. Meyer. They
were received and welcomed in an
address by Supt. Boyer. Ourinter-
esting Christmas exercises made a
favorable impression on those who
participated and the large audience
present were not wearied by the
two and one-half hours, speaking
and singing by the school. I'm
friendly criticism by those who were
not present does not manifest tho
liberal spirit which should animate
us in our intercourse with thoss
who labor in this work. Our
people will assist John F. Boyer,

CHAPLAIN IN TROUBLE.
Gave Out Sensational Interview Criti.
 cising Superior Officers.

Washington, September 5.-Ever since the printed reports of the sensational utter ances of Naval Chaplain Joseph P. McIn- tyre reached the navy department the off, cials have been making a quiet inquiry in- to the accuracy of the newspaper quota tions. The chaplain, who was attached to the Oregon, and was on board when the battle of July was fought, was accredited with some savage criticisms of Admiral Sampson, Captain Evans and various other officers of the American fleet, insist ing that to the officers and men of the Ore gon alone belonged the victory achieved over the Spanish squadron. He was par ticularly severe ron Capt. Robley D. Evans, who he charged with cowar3ice.
 Apparently the navy department has now satisfied itself that the chaplain really ut tered the language ascribed to him, for it has ordered his trial by court-martial on charges to the prejudice of good order and discipline and unbecoming to an officer The chaplain is now on leave of absence iH Denver.

PRIZE MONEY FOR SAILORS.
Sampson Will Get $4o,O ,OoO-Dewey Lit tie Less Than Ten.

New York; September 5.-A dispatch to the Herald from Washington says: At least Sl,OOO000 prize money will be distrib- uted among American sailors as result of the war with Spain.
 More than one-half of this sum will be paid in accordance with that section of law providing for the payment of a bounty for persons on board vessels of war sunk in action.
 It Is estimated that the aggregate amount due the Asiatic fleet as a result of the destruction of the Spanish force amounts to 75O0, which congress will be asked to appropriate during the coming session. One-tenth of the sum be- longs to Rear Admiral Dewey, as com mander-in-chief, and he will, therefore, be $9,375 richer than he was before the war
 Rear Admiral Sampson has realized @ snug little fortune result of the war. As commander-in-chiefo of the North Att lantic fleet he will get one-twentieth of every prize taken in North Atlantic wa ters and one-twentieth of the head money allowed for the vessels destroyed off San- tiago and in Cuban ports. It is estimated that he will finally Leceive about $4O,oOO as his share of the prize money. ..t S

The bursting of pipes caused by he molten metal coming in con- tact with them could be distinctly heard in this city for several minutes at the time of the explosion and created much wonder as to its nature. Several parties who were working about the lower portion of the fur mace escaped serious injury almost miracu- louslyAThe damage was comparatively light and the furnace, it is thought, will not be delayed but short time.
