It's source Of much qualification
to the citizens OF Washington to know
that the Inaugural Welcome Club have
at last succeeded in securing a very de
8iTable hall in which to hold their Ell
tertanment on March 9TH. The hall
secured is the Washington Light In
fantry ArmOry, located on 18th street,
below the Treasury Department, a hall
which is admirably adapted in every
way for public entertainments OF the
scope proposed by the Inaugural Wei
come Club 1t is capable of the most
beautiful and effective decoration, and
ls provided with a variety of separate
apartments for the general purposes of
such functions.
Ina talk with the president Of the
club Mr.. Daniel Murray, it was learned
that at tie meeting held this week the
several committees had their work so
- veil under way that everything looked
TO a most successful entertainment. He
was feeling particularly elated over the
success in getting such an excellent
nall, especially since so much OppO'
sltlon had been encountered, and says,
mat now The committees will devote
thelr best energies to making this affair
the grardest entertainment ever un'
dertaken by the citizens of our city.
Some idea of the working capacity Of
the committees may be obtained by a
glance at the list, on which we see first
Ihe names Of the general officers:
pIesideut, Daniel Murray; vice presi
Gents, Hon. John P. Green, J. Archer
Lewis, and Dr. Hamilton S Smith;
SECRETARY, II. Y. Arnett; financial
secretary, II P. Slaughter; treasurer,
Helry E Baker.

S'IttSburG Orchestra.

The seventh season Of Pittsburg Or
chostra concerts given at Carnegie
Music Hall, Schenley Park, Pittsburg.
began last week under circumstances
that are prophetic of the most brilliant
year in the history of the organization.
The Orchestra of seventy-fiye players
was admitted to be very fine and the
two audiences that tested the capacity
of Carnegie Music Hall were loud in
praise of the playing Mr.. Herbert's
popularity seemed never so great as
now and deseryedly so The concerts
will continue weekly Friday evenings
and Saturday afternoons until March
23rd.
The second series Friday evening,
Nov. 18th, and Saturday afternoon,
Nov 10th, presents four compositions
for the first time in Pittsburg. They
are the symphony in d minor by Cesar
Franck, a ballet suite of charming
quality by Tachaikowsky, the Joyeuse
march by Chabrier, and concerto fo1
violoncello and Orchestra by Lalo.
Tickets for these concerts can be had
now but there are better seats for the
afternoon concert than for the evening
at prices ranging from soc TO 81. They

A Protest.

Action taken by the Congregation of
the Presbyterian church of Concord in
convention assembled, November 3rd,
1901
Whereas, Section o of the Sunday
laws of Pennsylvania reads thus: Pro
fanation of the Lords day is an offense
against God and religion; for besides
the notorious indecency and scandal OF
permitting any secular business to be
publicly transacted on that day, in
country protesting Christianity; and the
corruption of morals which usually fol
lows its proclamation: the keeping of one
day III seyen holy as time Of relaxation
and refreshment, as well as for public
worship, is of admirable service to a
State, considered merely as civil insti-
tuition. 1t enables the industrious
workman to pursue his occupation in
the ensuing week with health and cheer
fnlness; it imprints on the minds of the
people that sense of their duty to God,
SO necessary to make them good citizens
but which would be worn out and de-
faced by unremitted continuance of
labor, without any stated times of re-
calling to the worship of their Maker,
and whereas,
The oil industry in our community
mas brought WIN 1T many VlOiatlOnS OF
both the civil and the Divine law in re-
gard to labor on the Sabbath day, both
in drilling on, and the pumping of wells
the hauling of material, and other kinds
of labor on that day and whereas
We deem it our duty as citizens and
church members to protest against any
unnecessary violations of the Sunday
laws, therefore
Resolved, That we respectfully ask
the oil operators, contractors and labor
ers not to work on or require others to
work on the Sabbath day, except where
it is necessary to save property from de-
probation or loss
Resolved, That we request that copy
of these resolutions be published in the
county papers.

One of the most surprising results OF
the late election was the election of Nc
Collum, Prohib., as Sheriff of Venango
county. His vote was 1928, while that
of Shaner, the Republican nominee was
2e05; and White, Dem, 1865 The total
vote polfed was 6S9s, of which the Re-
publican state ticket received 1853, the
balance being nearly equally divided be-
tween the Dems. and Prohibs.
Mercer county gave the Republican
state ticket about a 1000 majority, but
Carts. r. for Poor Director had but AZ
over Eriser, d.
Although Gov Stone is extremely re-
ticent concerning the Pittsburg politi-
cal situation and refuses to discuss it,
the general opinion here is that Record
er A. NJ Brown is to be removed and
ex-Director of Public Safety, j. O
Brown appointed in his place. 1t issaid
that Senator Finn and his friends have
this assurance from the Governor and
the change is expected within the COM
ing week.
The official vote of Cambria county
was not concluded until Saturday.
From Wednesday morning until late
Friday night hundreds of citizens from
all parts of the county guarded the
courthouse day and night, a man named
Balsinger in particular patroling on the
outside with Springfield rife. 1t was
feared that the returns might be trihed
with, and the long delay in counting
the votes whetted this suspicion. The
official vote gives O'Conner, Dem. and
Union, a majority of II, over Judge
Barker, who was a candidate for re-
election. Besides being Judge, Barker
was the local political boss and an arm
ed mob around his Court House was
sad commentary on his judicial career.
McKinley's plurality in the county was
3,30S. Barker presided in Butler during
the Braun divorce case.
The Philadelphia Press has declared
for contest of the recent election in
Philadelphia The demand is based
upon the statement that the vote cast
for District Attorney was greater than
that cast for the State offices and great
err than that for PRECEDENT last year.
This it considers indubitable evidence
of fraud, and charges that 10000 illegal
votes were cast or counted If this as
sertion can be proved it would. of
course mean a reversal of the declared
result of the election in Philadelphia
and in the State.
In the city Of Buffalo on the evening
of election day the vote of 106 out of 108
election districts was made known at
the City Hall within 30 minutes after
the closing of the polls.
This is especially significant to those
who noticed that night that not word
was received of the vote in Philadelphia
for four or five hours after the closing
of the polls. Then the wards in control
of the city machine returned more votes
for the Republican candidates than Were
cast for President Mckinley, though
the Republican vote in the entire city
was 10000 short of McKinle US vote.
In this contrast we may discover a
reason for the machine opposition to the
constitutional amendment making it
possible for the Legislature TO authorize
the use of voting machines Tt is plain
that the voting machine would never
do for such methods as those Of the
Philadelphia machine The two ma
chimes cannot work together in har-
mony.--Ex
