The Old Country Church.

tFrom the Pittsburg DSpatcii.)
A new church building is being erected
by the congregation Of old Rehoboth, in
Rostraver township, Westmoreland county.
This Presbyterian congregation is more
than one hundred years old. 1t is prob
ably the oldest church in the Forks. The
new edifice will doubtless be very fine. but
the destruction of the old brick house of
worship will cause a pang OF regret in
the heart of many a venerable resident OF
the Forks. Tender memories of many gen.
erations cling to those time-stained walls.
Rehoboth is a typical country church.
II is situated in the heart of a rich farm
ing region. No village is near it. 1t is
about midway between West Newton, on
the Youghiogheny. and Bellevernon, on
the Monongahela. 1t stands amid the per-
manent peace of country life. in a region
OF beautiful hills and fertile valleys. Near
it are the woods. Close by runs a babbling
brock In front winds the yellow country
road. Cows low in adjacent pastures and
the robin sings in the churchyard trees.
The ties that attach man to a grand
church in the city can never be as strong
as those that bind him TO the humble old
church in the country. There his ances-
tors have worshiped, in sincerity and
truth amid scenes OF absolute peace.
Very fond are the memories of those
whose youth permitted them to bow the
head or kneel in one OF these rural sane
tuaries. In the sunny summer Sundays
there was the drive. in the old buggy,
along the quiet road to the meeting house.
Even the farm animals along the way
seemed TO know the Sabbath day. The
sheep lay clustered in the shade OF great
oaks or sycamores. The cows stood rum
mating in the brook. where the willows
protected them from the sun. Every farm
house was quiet the barns were closed
and the horses were nibbling in the pas
ture lots.
From near and far the country people
came-men, women. and children. They
came in families, no member missing
and they tied their horses in the long shed
behind the church or to trees and fences
along the road neaby. Then the farmers
| stood about in groups under the church
yard trees while Sunday school was going
on within the church. They talked crops

women went inside during the Sunday

TN GREATER NEW
YORK'S CREAA1ORY
Interesting Visit to the Incln-
Grating Institution.
Strangest Fireman in the Empire
States Metropolis.
He Has Oficiated in the Disposition
OF 1000 Dead-The Crypts and
Jars of Ashes.

The most remarkable fireman in Greater
New York is named Kuehne. His furnace
is a white crypt in a building set upon a
hill. His hours are short and he spends
a good deal of time playing weird melodies
on an organ in the hall above the crypt.
He burns tons on tons of coal during the
year, yet not a wheel turns nor piston
stirs because of it. He has never been
asked TO join Gremens union. There
is no competition in his line, for he is the
fireman at the Fresh Pond Crematory.
over there they call him the engineer.
He does not seem to have an engine, unless
one is to count the three great retorts
which are engines of destruction. Over
5000 human bodies have been consumed
in them. Engineer Kuehne himself las
fired up-no irreverence is intended-for
over 1900 cremations. This is his iecord
for the six years during which he has been
the incumbent at the crematory. 1t strikes
the outsider as a grewsome job. 1t struck
Kuehne the same way at first. He hadn
been used TO anything more CHASTITY than
a rencontre with a jack-o lantern or the
antics of boys parading in sheets and pill
low cases He had been a school superin-
tendent. At first he scarcely liked his
change of occupation, but he feels differ
entity now Two thousand dead men can
not give as much trouble as two enterpris-
ing small boys can arrange.
1t was a hot afternoon last week when
the reporter went down into Engineer
Kuehne's furnace room and gossiped with
him there The walk up the ugly, dusty
hill in the hroiling sunshine had been
enough to give cne a good start toward
combustion. or at least melting. Two i'll
cinerations were scheduled for the after
neon up at the crematory. standing on the
top CT the bare, ugly hill. Whew! How
hot il must be there with the furnace rag

the chimney. Where was the chimney. any
way?
Neither smoke nor chimney was visible
TO the uninitiated eye, and that was dis
tinct comfort on a warm day But ii was
also a distinct source of anxiety lest the
fireman had forgotten the impending incin-
erations. That might be a comfort cold
comfort to the friends of the dead but
it was so ill-regulated in the fireman.
Maybe he had his own troubles. Every
body knows that there are days when a
fire simply won't draw Well-the front
doors were closed, but the knob turned
freely and there was 4 cool breath Of air
from the vaulted columbarium. Not soul
was there. At least, nobody was there.
There was a corridor opposite the en-

Additional Dramatic Notes.

Some day a vaudeville team will get up
an act devoid of both cake walks and
coon" songs and will receive their merited
measure of praise. When a sDrinkling OF
originality or industry is sifted upon this
portion of the profession. there Will be
better acts. The trouble is that as soon
as some one makes success with a ,ertain
line of work all the others steal its good
points and use them in their acts. TWO
cases which illustrate this are Miles and
RAYMOND and Prescott and Hendricks. who
were al Glen Echo last week. The latter
team dances better than most Of them, but
can't sing a little bit, besides selecting
vocal antiquities for rendition. The hest
feature OF the entire act is the elegant
suit Of hair OF the lady dancer. Then Miles
Of Miles and Raymond is performer OF
some eccentric excellence, but tells joke
which was old when Cabin John was an
infant in arms. yet finds some foolish
enough TO smile at it. With proper re-
vision. each of these turns would be wholly
meritorious 1t is discouraging 10 see good
people like these simply commit profess
sional suicide by continuing in their old
ruts Wake up. you people, and make the
name for yourselves your talents warrant.
