FOR A LIBERAL SABBATH,

The efforts of the Sabbatarians in
the East to restore the old Puritan Sun
day blue laws have had the effect of
greatly increasing the advocates of a
liberal Sabbath. Atlantic City Is up in
arms against the dry Sunday" which
Knocked the thirsty thousands that
focked thither for a breath of air and
the chances are that in a little while
the place will be far wider open on Sun
day than 1t was before. Popular revul-
sions work that way.
Last Sunday the famous New York
divine Rev. Minot ]. Savage. criticised
the blue law crusade that has been
sweeping over certain Eastern cities
and has even gotten as far west as
Pittsburg. In his sermon he said:
Il haven't a word to say against Sunday
amusements There is no reason whatever
in the Bible or in ecclesiastical history or
anywhere else for the existence of the
Puritanical or ordinary American Sunday
1t is absurd and childish to think that
there is anybody up In heaven who is GO

Sunday anything that IT is right to do on
any other day of the week.
Set part of Sunday for communion
with God. Then use the rest of the day
for recreation--walking. sailing driving.

you better physically"

and 60 home The whole Eagle Glass
Factory knocked off at shortly after 3
O'Clock. Annie Menter. an employe in
the decorating department of the Eagle
Manufacturing Works, was overcome by
the heat. and DR.. Harden had to be
called to the factory to attend to her
case. To-day she is much better and no
serious results are expected.
The majority of the young men and
boys who are home on a vacation and
are out of the factories for few weeks
are vending their way to the banks Of
the rover and creeks to camp and fish.
Several tents have been put up already
this week and several more will follow
in few days.
Yesterday morning at the Eagle glass
factory some trouble arose between
Floyd Smith and an Italian named Mar
tin. Smith was struck over the head
by the Italian with an iron pipe, cut
ting large cash. which required sew
eral stitches. While the wound is not
a dangerous one, Smith will likely be
of work for some days.

of sullen defiance, it would be a very
good-Iooking face indeed. And those
eyes-certainly, thought the Governor,

eudgeled his brains, and somehow, out
of the dim, misty memories of child
hood. there appeared a pair of eyes,
strangely like the ones OF the convict.

traction that will keep people at home
will be the two ball games played With
Williamsburg on that day. 1t is expect
ed that hundreds OF our citizens will go
to Wheeling, where the Fourth is to be
celebrated in an old-fashioned manner.
Those who complain about the people
leaving town and going to other cities
should get out and hustle and make
some kind of an entertainment on these
occasions for the people at home and
bring strangers to the city, for people
are prone to hunt enjoyment and pleas

The proposition is neither radical nor

corporate interests it is proposed to tax

their guns In this matter. While the
representatives of corporatins enjoying
State privileges for practically moth

their wealthy clients at their leisure in

And as she left the Office with heart
too full of happiness to put into mere
words. she saw, in the twilight shadows
the Governor lean forward. and as
though in utter wearines, pillow his
head upon his arms on the broad desk.
The rest OF the night she could not
sleep for joy. Nor could the Governor
sleep. He kept thinking about the
moonlight night, the old home, the
graves on the hillside-the violet eyes,
and the ground strewed with the petals,
of apple blossoms.
1t was a small morsel Of comfort to
know that she believed him dead.

SPEAK THE GOOD WORD.

BY WILLIAM j. HAMPTON
1t isn't the thinking how grateful We are
For the kindness of friends come to bless
our sorrow or loss
Meath the weight of the Cross;
1t is telling our gratefulness.
1t isn't the love that they have in their
hearts.
And neglect of forgot to reveal,
hat brightens the lives
OF husbands and wives,
1t Is telling the love that they feel.
1t isn't he thinking of good to mankind
That comes as a cooling drink
To the furnishing ones
OF Earth's daughters and sons;
1t is the good that we think.
It isn't the music asleep in the strings
OF the lutte, that entrances the ear,
And brings TO the breast
The spirit of rest;
II is only the music we hear.
IT isn't the lilies We hide from the world,
Nor the roses we keep as our own,
That are strewn at our feet
BY the angels we meet
On oar way to the Great White Throne.
1t isn't the silence of hope unexpressed.
It's the words Of good cheer that we speak
To triumph through strife
For the great things of life;
That heartens and strengthens the weak.

THE sOFT COAL TRUST.

The combination of bituminous coal
interests under one management has
been foreshadowed by recent gigantic
purchases OF coal lands in West Vir-
) xipia and consultations among the In
dependent concerns in this State and
elsewhere. 1t win remain for the arch
genius of industrial consolidation, J. p
Morgan however. to combine all these
Immense properties under one manage
ment, making a, new coal trust that will
rival the billion-dollar steel trust in
I size, and which will doubtless be in
<sscommuaity Of interest" with that
mighty combine.
The new coal trust includes all the
coal properties OF the Pittsburg district
shipping coal by way of the lakes, now
operated by the Pittsburg Coal Com
pany; all the properties in the same
district shipping coal south, known as
the Monongahela Coal Company, the
Hooking Valley Coal Company of Ohio,
the Illinois Coal Company, controlling
kwo-thirds.of all the coal lands in Hill
nois and Western Indiana, Senator
Mark Hanna's coal properties in the
Massillon district, the Fairmont Coal
Company of West Virginia, controlled
he B. & o. and the holdings in the
territory controlled by the Nor
& Western railway, the Chesa-
AXE & Ohio railroad, or the Pennsyl-
u mia railroad, all of which, with the
N sltimore & Ohio, now form practi-
ALLY one organization. All these coal
eompanies-eacho one OF them a good
pized trust in itself-are to be collected

The Senator Scott-Commissioner Ev-
ans episode is occupying good deal OF
space in the papers these days. The
Pittsburg Dispatch, for instance, says:
Between Sickles and Scott it is an is
sue of veracity as to whether the for
mer has a letter from the latter on the
Evans removal. But the text Of the al
legged letter, to the effect that the writer
thinks he can say that he hardly
thinks that there will be any doubt
about the desired change, is the weak
est specimen of a pledge on record"
And the New York World remarks
Gen. Sickles has now produced the ia
nous pledge from the Republican ma
tional committee that Mr.. Mckinley
would dismiss Pension Commissioner
Evans. 1t consists in letter from Sem
| ator Scott containing this sentence:
i think | can safely say that | hard
| ly think Evans will be continued as
| Commissioner
Gen. Sickles. by way Of backing UP
this wonderfully explicit and binding
! pledge" adds that Mr. Mckinley had
| in effect intimated that he would not
| 'reappoint' Evans. But how can this
| be when Evans holds an Office the ten
ant of which has no term but is simply
| removable?
THE way Mr.. Mckinley has stood by
Evans in face of the clamor of the
| greedy and the criticism of the Ill.
| informed is most creditable."

FOUND LONG LOST SON.
Capitalist Discovers His Boy Work
 ing in Rod Mill.

Indianapolis, Ind. July 11.-A special to The News from Anderson, Ind, says: John J. Morath, capitalist and landlord of the Capitol Hotel at Phil adelphia. created a sensation at the local rod mills this morning when he ap- peared among the roaring furnaces and picked out one of the big, brawny men as his son, Joseph Morath, whom the father lost trace of twenty-one years ago.
 At that time the parents of Joseph Morath were poor. His mother died and the one son, then a child, was ta- ken by an aunt to rear. She died in another city and the father was never able to locate his son until this week. The son became a rod mill worker and married. His wife died and their baby boy was left at Indianapolis with rel atives. Today Joseph Morath was ta- ken from the mills by his father and promised an easier life in Philadelphia. Then they went to Indianapolis to get the boy. Morath with his son and grandson will leave for Philadelphia to- night. The reunion came about by the long lost son, a member of the Knights of Pythias. speaking of having been born in Philadelphia but not knowing what became of his parents.
