This county is having more atten-
tion directed toward it's oil develop
ments than any other county in the
state. The recent gushers which
have been struck in the upper end Of
the county will have a tendency to at
tract still more attention. They
have extended the limits of the field

The following interview OF interest
To the river men IL taken from the
Pittsburg Dispatch. The editorial
which follows it Is also taken from
the same paper which is very much
Interested In having the improvements
on the river completed. 1t Is to be
hoped that the effort will meet with
success. The articles In question are
as follows
Congressman f. II. Acheson, OF
Washington, Pa. was ia Pittsburg ON
his way to the National Capital. He
is member OF the Rivers and Har-
bors Committee, and says he is hope
fal for an appropriation at this SEES
sion for the Improvement Of the Mon
ongahela river.
According TO the estimates OF the
engineers he said, ssSl, 635. 600 will
be required 10 make the necessary Inn
provements on the locks OF the Nom
ongahela river TO bring them UP to
the present requirements OF navfga-
tion on that stream, and we will make
an effort to get that amount appropri-
ated at the present session. 1t looks
now as though there was some pros
peet Of success. but there are some
obstacles In the way. There is always
tendency toward retrenchment by
the party In power at session Of
Congress just prior to d Presidential
election, which may have some effect
this time on the river and harbor item
OF the appropriation BILL Another
thing that will confront us Is the fact
that the river and harbor appropria-
tions last year were liberal, and tt is
somewhat unusual TO get these APP
preparations at two sessions In sue
cession.n
Mr.. Acheson said That Quay's CON
test for seat in the Senate was ex-
citing much interest In Washington.
He says the opinion seems to be gem
eral that Quay will not be seated
The movement on TO Washington
In behalf OF the improved Monongahe-
la river is timely. Larger locks should
have been provided Immediately the
river was freed from tolls, but Con-
gress never does things in the most
economical manner. Now, however,
new locks are necessary. Two Of the
old locks are Ia bad shape, at least
one OF them being In imminent dam
ger Of total collapse. Such an acci-
dent would be nothing short OF ca
lamity in the present condition OF the
coal business, not to mention the 9th
er important traffic on the river.
Congress ought TO make provision
for the Pittsburg rivers without urR-
Ing, But Congress may not be fully
informed on the subject. 1t is neces-
sary, then, to inform the members
concerning the actual conditions.
That being done, no doubt the proper
appropriation will be made at the
present session. Beyond. that, IL is
time to begin the campaign Tor appro-
priations for the Ohio and Allegheny
rivers, which 1t is believed may be Sc
cured at the next session, IL not at
this. Those appropriations should be
large enough to have the work pushed
to completion, not less In the interest
Of economy to the Government than
In the interest OF the population to be
benefited by the river traffic.

THE JUDGES ADVICE.
Given to a Man Who Wayered Be
tween Religion and Politics.

A well known western representa-
tive in congress, pleading an engage
ment. left small group OF takers In
an up town hotel lobby, and an elderly
man, whom he had introduced to the
party. made bold to tell story about
the departed.
II have known him." he said, ever
since he was a boy, and when he came
out of college he was undecided wheth-
er to become lawyer and politician or
go to theological seminary and be-
come clergyman. He was fond Of
politics and thought that with little
law and more religion on the side he
might become great moral reformer.
You know that's the way most all very
young men feel when they undertake
politics for the first time.
However, before he had had time to
determine finally what he would do,
| his friends came after him TO run for
the legislature, as he had the availa-
bility and a pretty fair amount of cash.
This brought him face to face with
the question he had been much dis
turbed over. and he went to Judge
Blank, veteran in politics and man
of the highest character, for assistance
In solving the problem. He stated his
case In full to the judge. and the grand
old man put his hand on the young
mans shoulder. F
My boy he said. as only he could
say 1t, 1T can't be politics and religion.

fit yourself for heaven and for the leg
islature at the same time and there's
no use trying. That is all | can say,
and you will have to make your own
choice y Washington Star.

DR.. Seaman Is an authority on Japan,
and he tells this story of his last visit
TO that country:
"There was a little incident happen
ed while we were in port that showed
the magma nimity of those people A
United States soldier was out riding a
bicycle and he was coasting down hill,
when he, ran over man. They
promptly arrested him. and he was
taken before magistrate. We all
went up from the transport TO see how
things went with him. The magis-
trate heard the case and fined him So
for running over a blind man.
WHAT said the soldiers; was the
man blind? Here, give him 500 and
he pulled out n $50 goldpiece and hand
ed 1t over to the magistrate
And what do you think they did ?
They were so pleased that they remit
ted the whole fine, or would have doue
so, only the soldier would not take it
back. but Insisted on its being given to
the blind man, and then they gave him
a diploma setting forth what he had
done" York Tribune.

Infant Baptisms In Russia.

~ was fortunate enough" writes
Trumbull White, ito visit the Church
of st. David in, Tlflis, Russia, just In
time to attend a baptisnal ceremony.
According to the rites of the Greek
church, as practiced In this ancient
Georgian temple, the youngster in
question, fine boy or 8 weeks old,
had to be immersed three times In a
baptismal font filed with water, each
time to be completely covered, I'm adj
dtion to various blessings and anoint-
ings with holy oil and several long
prayers.
THE benevolent looking old priest
proved himself man of kindly
thoughtfulness. While the family group
around the baby was getting him prop
erly unclad, for the ceremony requires
that the child shall be naked, the priest
surreptitiously dipped his finger into
the font, and saw by his face that II
was too cold. Then he stepped behind
screen. where his samoyar was
steaming, emptied the hot water into
a pitcher, and while the family still
kept busy over the baby he poured
enough TO temper the pool that had
been provided for the shorn lamb. The
result was that the little fellow took
his plunges without n murlnur and
thereby distinguished himself. Chi
