be Seen in Person.
Commander Brown stated in re
ply to question in regard to the
preparations for Chadwick Day that
everything was going on as well as
could be expected and that those
who had it in charge were very high
ly pleased with the progress being
made. The state committee has
finally been formed. 1t consists OF
Governor Atkinson, Senator Elkins,
N. B Scott, DR. ! G. White, state
geologist, and Elk Senator Camden.
The men will act as members of
the state committee and they have
signified their willingness to act as
designated.
The matter of contributions is a
gratifying part of the whole thing.
Among the many letters that they
have received in this direction is
one from Col. j. NJ. Guffy, of Pitts
burg, who sends 800 This contri-
button is a very substantial way of
showing how much he is interested
in the movement and the Colonel
has received many compliments on
his generosity
The town is doing rather well but
it should do better. 1t depends on
us to say what kind of celebration
that we are to have and we should
see to it that nothing that we can
do is left undone,
The exact date of the celebration
has not yet been fixed but it will be
about the tenth of October.
The idea of having Dewey and
Mckinley has not been abandoned
but it will be pushed vigorously.
Senator Elkins has been written to
come here with his private car and
go to Pittsburg on the 2Sth when
the President is to be there and to
lay the matter before him then to-
gether with the committee from
this place. No reply has been re
ceived from this letter but if the
Senator can get away he will help
carry out the plan.
When the visit to Pittsburg is
made arrangements will be perfected
for one of the companies of the
Tenth regiment TO come here on the
great occasion. More of them may
be obtained but one will certainly
be gotten.

Guard Against It.

There seems to be much typhoid
fever throughout the country, though
very little of it has developed in this
section. Said prominent physician
yesterday. "Typhoid fever seems to
be the worst form of disease prevalent
in the country at present. Most of
the contagious diseases such as small
pox, measles, ETC., seems to have been
tempered down considerably until
they are not considered dangerous to
the extent to which they were only a
few years ago. But typhoid seems to
be developing in every section of the
country and its form is very severe. =

The Program was Good One-Talks
by Well known People-What was
Said and Done-OfIicers Elected for
Next Year.
The program Of the annual Sunday
School Convention of Monongalia
county which convened at Vaudeville,
August 18th was good one and was
well carried out. The president d.
B. Waters, showed his enthusiasm by
his untiring zeal in the work.
The first session was opened by
Prof. Ohern in a most excellent man
ner, and was indicative of the interest
and feeling that existed thro' the en-
tire convention.
The sFavorite Promises" conducted
by S. S. White deserves special men,
tion as does also the "Talk" given by
Prof. Woolery.
The evening session proved to be
both interesting and instructive. 1t
was enlivened by the presence of the
state president, Rev. L. e. Peters of
the Baptist Church, who in his adj
dress dwelt upon organization and
unity in the Sunday School work.
The s'Quiet Hour was character
lied by deep devotion and great spirit
ual power and was wisely placed at
the beginning of the day.
How to Improve our Methods of
Work was well conducted by Geo. w.
Laishley.
Prof. Wiley of Morgantown gave
an address which was well received.
He impressed upon those present the
Importance of the primary work and
the dignity of childhood.
The second afternoon session con-
sisted of Song and Praise Service, adj
dress by Rev. l. A. Barnes, @. G.
Cummings and Samuel Hackney, fol-
lowed by the reports from the various
districts and the election of officers
for the ensuing year.
The song service given by the choir
at the commencement of the We'd
nesday evening session was enjoyed by
all The singing throughout the con-
vention was often spoken of in terms
of praise and did much to add to the
success of the whole meeting.
The president was certainly fortu-
nate in securing Rev. John L. Roemer
of Cleveland and Prof. Thos. e. Hodg-
es of the University as speakers for
the last evening.
Rev. Roemer gave a forceful adj
dress on "Our Needs and how to OBJ
tain them"
Child training was the subject Of
the address delivered by Prof. Hodges.
1t was thoughtful and instructive and
appreciated especially by the parents
who were heard to remark that it was
practical and beneficial.
Interesting recitals were given by
Misses Woodruff. Pomeroy, Sanders,
Lazzell and Compton. The convention
closed with 'God be with you till we
meet again" sung heartily by all, and
Rev. Roemer pronouncing the bene-
diction.
A note of thanks was rendered the
hospitable people of Vaudeville and
vicinity for the very excellent enter
tainment given the delegates and Wis
itOrs.

ONLY ONE.
Tenth Pennsylvania has Bat
One Missing Man,

Recruit Picked mp ia Honoiulu-Toes
0ut in Seareh OF Information and
Se,er Returns Facts about his Dis
appearance-He viii Never be Salts
facterily Accounted For.
The Uniontown News Standard has
the following interesting account of
the only missing man that is to be re-
ported by the Tenth Regiment. He
was a member OF the Company from
Uniontown although he was enlisted
after the regiment had sailed for Man
lila. The facts in the case are as fol-
lows:
There was only one man who went
out with the Tenth regiment who did
not return and who was not definitely
accounted for. That man was Pri-
yate Ulysses Grant Cullums of Com
pany G. All the Others either return
ed with the regiment, were discharged,
killed in action or died of disease.
Private Cullums enlisted at Honolulu,
although his home was in California.
He spoke Spanish fluently and could
converse with the Filipinos, SO that
his services were valuable to the regi-
ment. After the war with Spain had
ended and before hostilities with the
Filipinos had broken out the Tenth
regiment was lying in Manila. Pri-
vaGe Cullums had frequently been de-
tailed to gather information among
the natives. One day, with the con-
sent of Maj. Bierer, he rode out Of
Manila in quest of news for the Off
GERS and never returned. The follow
ing day Maj. Bierer made search for
him, but without avail. The natives
professed not to have seen him, and
to this day his fate remains a mystery.
He could not have been treated as a
spy, for hostilities had not begun, and
besides, he wore his uniform. Short
ly afterward, war with the Filipinos
began, and 1t is the general opinion
that Cullums was either assassinated
| by robbers or that his mission was
known and that he met death through
the orders of the Filipino military
authorities. A few days ago his
brother, G. II. Cullums of Stockton,
CAL, called upon Maj. Bierer and re-
ceived from him all the facts obtaina-
bic regarding his brothers disappear
ance He also took charge of the
missing soldiers effects and presented
the major with a portrait Of Private
Cullums.

Mr.. Foster, principal attorney for
the prosecution, said:
"The board simply carried out the
instructions of Governor Atkinson,
it's chief. The investigation was I'M
fairly conducted, and the verdict is
not warranted by the evidence.
With the same facts an ordinary
jury would have returned a verdict

CLEARING HOUSE WORK.
Proposition to Charge Osposlius Tho Cost Of Col
Ieoing Checks Rejected.

The adjourned meeting OF the Provi-
dence Clearing House was held yester-
day afternoon, and one OF the princi-
pal propositions made was one provid-
ing that interests on deposits. should be
paid only in amounts in excess of an
average daily balance of $1,000. and II
was recommended to the action OF the
boards OF directors OF the different
banks representing the Clearing House.
There was also recommendation OF
the committee to charge deposltors
with the cost Of collecting checks de-
posted by them which are payable In
distant parts of the United States and
Canada, and II was rejected. Such a
scheme is at present on three months
trial in New York, and as II may not
be permanent, the banks hesitate 10
make change here. They don't want
10 If they can help IL. The charge for
collection now comes out of the banks.
On account of the charge in New York,
such checks are now being diverted as
much as possible to Boston, Philadel-
phia, Chicago and other cities where
the plan Is not in force. But that can
be only a Temporary thing, for these
cities will probably follow the example
OF New York.
Providence checks at present collect
at par in other cities, for IL Is a ia
vored point. but there are not many
cities where checks do collect at par.

Alvah Carpenter & Son, is emphatic
i'm it's statement that p.ece work VIII
not be abolished in its plant.
A conference of number OF the
leading foundrymen was held last
night, and II was decided to let the
men go out IL they care to. This eve
ming big meetings OF the molders Will
be held here and at Pawtucket and
definite action will be taken i'm decid-
ing the course TO be pursued Monday.
Some of the leaders among the molders
still profess TO believe that the foun-
drymen will surrender.
In Pawtucket the situation is about
the same as il is In this city. At "A
meeting OF 75 molders last night. James
e. Roche, the third vice-president OF
the international union, OF Albany, n.
Y, made an address. The meeting was
called in order to initiate non-unlon
men and to arrange for concerted strike
action, and at its close the men claimed
that all the non-union men in this city
had been taken in. The molders eX-
press surprise that the proprietors OF
the foundries in Pawtucket and ProVi-
dence have not answered the request
of the union. Only one replied-the
Vulcan works-and the answer was 10
the effect that the concern could not
see its way clear to accede to the de-
mands.
Secretary O'Neil said that the mold
ers in the 13 Worcester foundries were
i'm sympathy with the Rhode Island
union in all the demands, that Is, an
established average pay OF So a day;
abolshment of piece work and the rec
ognition of the union.

MOLDERS r1AX STOP
WORK NEXT r1ONDAY.
Employers Not Disposed to AcCede to
Their Misunderstanding to
Be Held This Evening.

The breach between the foundrymen
OF Rhode Island and their 5000 molders
and helpers appears not 10 be lessened
as the date approaches for an adjust
ment of differences or a strike, and it
now appears that unless a radical
change takes place, every foundry in
the state will be shut down next Mon
day. Some of the foundrymen are VIII
ling TO grant the minimum wage scale
demanding, others do not object 10 rec
ognizing the union card, still others
would abolish the piece system, but
few IL any, would 40 any TWO OF the
things required by the molders in the
ultimatum To which they expect an
answer by May /, and none will grant
all of the demands.
The foundrymen declare as one man
that IL would be simply ruinlous 10 90
so. Some have already notified their
molders that they need expect no con-
cession, others that they are Willing TO
compromise, but all insist upon run
ming their plants without dictation
from the molders. AS the foundrymen
have no organization, so far as the
molders are officially informed, no re-
ply as such can be expected. so that the
molders union must expect replies
from individuals and companies. Some
OF the companies declare they never
have recognized the union and do not
propose To do so now. Several OF the
plants are run by the piece work sys-
tenn. one of which raised the wages or
its employees two weeks ago. This firm,
