Rev. r. E. williams on Dancing.

Rev. r. E. Williams, pastor OF the
First Baptist church at Carnegie,
Pa, preached last Sunday on dane
ing. In the course of his discourse
he said:
"The modern dance" exists es-
sentially for amusement. Pleasure
is the shrine at which its deyotees
bow. Recreation restores your wasted
energies; unsatisfying amusement
devitalizes them. understand how
athletics tone the body and how lit
erature and art elevate the mind,
but I fail to see how pleasure strip
ped of a noble purpose achieves
either. There is nothing so pathet-
ic in life as the career of man full
of possibilities for good draining the
maddening bowl of pleasure in quest
of happiness. The aching heart and
the blighted life follow in it's train.
The church member who INDUCES
in dancing has little or no interest
in real church work and is a con
slant source of concern to the faith
ful workers. Dancing churches are
prolific of untold harm to the com
munity in which they are situated
Many church which has tolerated
dancing in the parlor and winked at
it in the public hall has seen its
membership become efeminate and
its very existence travesty on the
fair name. The modern dance is a
source of peril to the physical and
moral welfare of its patrons, young
and old. The home cannot afford to
give its sanction to a diversion that
has been the direct ruin OF thous-
ands of promising lives
Knowing so many of the evils that
follow in the train of the modern
dance, we call upon Gods people to
abstain from it religiously and cul-
tiyate in it's place pleasures that
prove satisfying in character and
honoring to Cod"

still in the Taking Business They
try to Operate on Man In Faffmont

They are we'll known here to the sor-
row Of local Sportsmen- incident
from the Free Press.
The following from the Free Press
will be read with interest by many
Morgantown people. Jake KRONER
is the right name OF the fakir and
not an alias Henry Beeler is cor
rect. Beeler halls from Wavnesburg
and KRONER lives in Scottdale They
have been performing tricks OF this
stripe in this section for years and
have in many cases been highly sue
cessful. The story OF the trial at
Fairmont and the result is as fol
lows:
A party OF strangers arrived in
Fairmont last Saturday morning for
thepurpose OF doing victim in the
green goods business, and il that
didn't work a foot race was to take
place, but neither Of the plans work
ed out to perfection.
The victim was j. S. Bell, who
registered from Waynesburg, Pa,
and his associates in the transaction
were Henry Beeler and L. M. Day,
of Pittshurg, Pa. When Mr.. Bell
got here he had but about $25
IN cash The green goods could not
be delivered, so his new friends said
thai it would take $500, and they
would all have to go to Philippi to
get the goods Bell said friend
would be in that day and let him
have the $400. In the meantime two
other gentlemen arrived and a foot
race was TO be run, but this was not
arranged The foot racers were reg
istered as Jake KRONER and B. J.
Coin, from Canada. The green goods
men finally got Bell into game OF
poker. II went alright except for
Bell One of the fellows had four
aces but he had no money He show
ed his hand to Bell, and borrowed
all Bell had, and into the potit went
but Bell did not get his money back.
and the'game came to very sudden
close.
Bell found himself completely
stripped and he squealed and swore
out a warrant. Sergeant Morgan
went in search of his men. One got
out OF the way, but one was taken
before the mayor. 1t was found that
it was the other fellow that was
wanted, and Bell said he would 60
get him, and, he like the first, never
came back. Bell pledged his over
coat for his hotel bill and money to
get home on to Host Williams.

nothing of the possibilities of friction

READY TO BEGIN.
Brickyard ready to start the
delivery of the brick.

Beechurst ayeaue is holding them
back-It is almost impassable-Pleas-
ants street to get the first attention
Bevelled brick to be used on it-COn-
tract will be let sO0n-Pr0bable that
it will go to the Kittanning people
Other notes.
Every thing is in readiness for the
delivery of brick to the town by the
new brick company. All that is hold
ing them back is the fact that the
Avenue is almost impossible and they
cannot haul over it to any advantage.
A very large amount of brick is ready
for delivery ana the PAYERS will have
no trouble on that score after they be-
gin the work of paving.
The company has been hard at work
since they got their plant. into run
ming order and they are prepared to
turn out the best brick.in the country
This will be great advantage as
they will keep the money at home and
thus give US all the benefit possible
from the expenditure.
The first street to be paved this
spring will be Peasants from Front
up TO Main. The bevelled brick will
be used on this on account of the
steepness of the grade. These are the
kind that are now ready for delivery
and they will soon line the sides of
the street.
It has not yet been decided as to
. whom the contract is to be let but it
is generally believed that the Kittan-
ming people will be given the prefer
ence. The council has many letters
of recommendation of these people
and they are ready to take the job at
the figures they at first made which
are not so far above those made by
Berry.
Some people in Connellsville are
after the job but it is not at all likely
that they will be given what they ask
for as they do not come with the
backing that the Kittanning firm
does. Council is determined that no
more mistakes shall be made and that
when the paving begins that it shall
go right on until the money is exhaus-
ted aud not be the means Of SO much
delay and rag chewing as the small
amount done last summer was.
Everyone is anxious to see the dirt
begin to move and to know that the
mud will soon be thing of the past.
They have waited a long time for
pavements after agreeing to them
and they are glad that they do not
have to wait much longer.
