CHURCH ADVERTISING.
An Unique Move ON the Part of Bey-
erIy, Mass, Pastor.

A Beverly {Mass.) correspondent of
Newspanerdom writes TO that publ
cation thus:
The pastor of the Dane Street Con-
gregational church, Rev. Il. j. Van
Horn, has demonstrated that church
advertising pays. Mr.. Van Horn, be-
fore coming TO Beverly, was located
out in Ohio. and became embued with
some of the Western hustle, and he
rather astonished his good New Eng
land deacons one sunday, when he in
formed them that he wanted 800 TO
spend in advertising. In making
this request he said there was no rea-
son why instead OF 100, they should
not have 500 people present at the
evening service at the church. On
the following Saturday the advertising
matter appeared: but there Is still a
suspicion that the pastor paid for it
himself, for awhile at least. At first
he began with flyers and printed cards,
which were left at the homes and
scattered about the streets Then he
would vary Ii with quarter-sheet
poster hung in the store windows,
each announcing his subject for the
following Sunday evening and invit-
ing the public to come and hear him.
These subjects were never sensational
nor were his sermons. The result Of
this advertising began TO show in an
increasing attendance at the meetings,
and count was made every Sunday
and the number announced the follow
ing Sunday, So well did the plan
work that at the next annual parish
meeting 1t was voted to take collec-
tion at the Sunday evening service,
and allow the Rev. Mr.. Van Horn to
take it for his own use in advertising
and for securing special musical talent
for the services. About this time,
now nearly two years ago, he abandon
ed the flyers, and took six-inch space
in the Evening Times on Saturday,
and has continued it ever since. We
give him special position across the
| top of the fifth page, one inch deep,
and people now look as regularly for
this announcement as they do for the
local news in the paper. The result
of this advertising, together with very
practical sermons that he breaches, is
that instead Of the five hundred thay
he hoped to get out at the services,
the number more frequently reaches
1900, and is seldom less than 900.

THE TEXT
Of the Bill slipped through Con
gress

authorizing the United States to sue
For settlement of the Virginia
debt--The Government holds some
old Virginia bonds Evident inten-
tion to force us to pay part OF
them.
Some time ago New York dispatch
was printed saying that the Secretary
of the Treasury had been authorized
by recent act of Congress to bring suit
against Virginia and West Virginia
To recover the interest and principal
OF 1851, 900 OF Virginia bonds pur-
chased before 1860 as trustee for GER
tain tribes Of Indians, amounting now
TO about two million dollars. The
evident intention OF the law Is TO
place the United States in the atti-
tude Of forcing West Virginia to as
sumo the payment OF portion OF that
amount.
After some search the provision Of
law referred 10 has been found iii
proviso in section Of Public Act No.
209, being IAN act TO amend an act
entitled, IAN act to reimburse the
Governors of States and Territories
for expenses incurred by them in aid
ing the United States to organize and
supply and equip the volunteer army
of the United States In the existing
war with Spain, approved July 3, 1898
and for other purposes.
That section reads as follows:
THAT the expenses incurred 10 the
Governors of States in carrying out
the provisions of this act shall be paid
to them Notwithstanding any unset
tied accounts, claims or Indebtedness
of the United States, against their
States, and without prejudice to such
unsettled accounts.
ssProvided, That when such un-
settled account il caused by . default
in payment of principal or interest on
any bonds or stock issued or guar
anteed by any state, the ownership OF
which is vested in the United States,
| the Secretary Of the Treasury be and
he is hereby authorized and directed
to institute any act or proceeding
which he may consider advisable
against the State or It's repfeseuraLly
to secure payment Of the principal and
interest OF said bonds or stocks. =
The bill from which the above Is
quoted was approved by the President
March 3.

Died.

LANTz-It is with deep sympathy
for the bereaved family that we record
the death of Mrs. Ida J. Lantz, which
occurred at the home of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. William Johnson, at the
corner of Washington and Green
streets, Waynesburg, Pa, at 11:45,
O'Clock, p. m. on Monday, March 9th,
1899. The deceased, who was among
the best known and most highly es-
teemed ladies of the town, was taken
i'll with la grippe or kindred ailment
about ten days since, which later de-
veloped into pneumonia, resulting
fatally at the time stated. Waynes-
burg Messenger.

ROOMS RENTED.
School Board Has Made Ar
engagements to Keep Every
Thing Going.

None ef rhe Rooms Will Have to Shut
DOWNRIGHT Months School VIII be
Completed Children are Not Tick
led over the Prospect-Gas Engine
Foundations Give way and are Re-
paired.
The school board has had no meet
ing this week but they have decided
about the rooms in which they are 70
Messrs, Baily and Pickenpaugh had
this in charge and they have been able
TO get the rooms they wanted without
much trouble. All the rooms will run
until the last of next month when the
eight months will be up.
This will not be very good news to
the children who had hoped that they
would be set free in short time and
that they would not have to spend
any longer time in the school room.
The teachers interested are very glad
to have the month added and they
were very much stirred up over the
prospect of having TO close down when
UlC lIQUDCA was ct nicb bdihCu vi.
The seats have all been placed in
the building and the board has in
spected them and found that they are
all right. There is nothing now to be
done but to get the rest of the build
ing in shape and wait until next fall
when the school will be moved in.
The proposition to hold great cele-
bration has met with general appro-
baton and it will probably be carried
out.
The building is certainly worthy of
some sort of recognition and as it is
the best arranged and one of the finest
in the state the celebration will be a
notable one.
The foundation of the gas engine in
the basement which was used to run
the fans which supply the fresh air
gave way and it had to be shut down.
The collapse was due to the fact that
the cement used was no good. The
firm which put in The engine repaired
the damage and it is now running
again.

FISH STORY.
New York Sun Tells OF Eight West yir-
ginians Being Killed.

The New York Sun in an article on
the return Of the 203d New York reg
iment from its camp in the south
says:
1.-THE stay of the regiment at Camp
Wetherill was enliyened by trouble
which broke out there between the
Second West Virginia regiment and
the men composing the 203d and 20lst
New York, Fourth New Jersey and
Fifth Massachusetts. The men who
arrived here yesterday all had stories
to tell of the feud which resulted in
the killing Of eight men Of the West
Virginia regiment and the wounding
Of a number OF men on the other side
who belonged to the Northern regi-
ments. The latter called the West
Virginia men sssnake hunters and
they in burn retaliated with equally
complementary epithets. The trou-
BILE between the regiments began at
Camp Meade and continued until the
New York men broke camp on Satur-
day. The bad feeling engendered was
such that the Fourth New Jersey
Regiment was posted around the
West Virginians' camp as a guard
when the 203d men were leaving.
"Camp Wetherill is to be abandon
ed on April 10. the Second West Vir-
ginia being the last regiment to strike
their tents"
1t is believed the returning soldiers
are imposing upon the Sun. No ac-
counts of any such desperate feud
have ever reached this state. There
was some bad fenling over the killing
of a West Virginian by a New York
sentinel several months ago but no
such slaughter resulted as the Sun de-
tails.

EVERYTHING READY.
Elks have matters in shape for
their great show tonight.

Standing room will be at premium
Largest audience ever i'm the Opera
House will witness the performance
which will be cracker jack Large
delegations from near by townsville
street parade.
Everything is now in readiness for
the performance to be given by the
local lodge of Elks at the Opera House
tonight. The people who are to take
part have been hard at work for weeks
and they have gotten their parts down
as well as professionals and they will
give all who are so lucky as to attend
a run for their money
The songs and music will be a spe-
cial feature and they will both be new
and catchy. The performers do net
want anything old and have gone to
lots of trouble and expense to get
everything up to date about The show.
The curtain will go up at eight
fifteen and for two hours and a half
the audience will have to laugh. The
Jokes will bring down the house. The
peculiarities of all the local celebrities
will be hit off in happy manner and
everyone will get something to laugh
over.
Uniontown sent up about a dozen
members Of the lodge down there to
help out the local boy. The lodge at
Uniontown helped install this one and
the two organizations have very
warm spot n their hearts for each
other. Fairmont also sent in very
good delegation and they expect to
have the time of their lives.
These benefits are given every year
in every town where there is lodge
of Elks and the proceeds go to charity.
The organization believes and practice
the most noble code of ethics. Among
their strongest tenets is that providing
for the care of the unfortunate of all
classes.
The parade took place at noon in
the presence of large crowd of spec
tators. There was an immense crowd
at the staeion when the train came
in and they enjoyed the sights they
saw to the full. The parade was a
very striking one and was very much
enjoyed.
The make up of the Philippines was
very good and they created a tremen-
dous sensation. They will take part
in the performance tonight and will
add no little to the success of the en-
tertainment.
The crowds lining the streets along
the line of march were very large and
the whole town has taken on gala
air. There is absolutely nothing lack
ing to- make the affair bowling sue

NOTED MAN DEAD.
Was Very Prominent Man Politically
Although Refusing Political Prefer

Hon. William II. Travers of Charles
Town died Wednesday morning in
Radford Va, where he had been at
tending court as council for the Nor
folk and western railroad. The cause
of his death is not given but it was
very sudden. He was seventy years
old. He was speaker of the house Of
delegates of Maryland before his re-
moval to this state being a staunch
Democrat. He was very prominently
mentioned in connection with the
nomination for governor but he stead
lily refused all proffered political pre-
ferment.
