Z. Matlcy, civil engineer in the
employ of the Pennsylvania railroad,
has found that the Big Bald Knob. in
the Alleghenies on the boundary be-
tween Somerset and Bedford coun-
ties, is the highest peak in Pennsyl-
Fania, it being 3,OO7 feet above the
sea level Until Mr.. Matley's recent
survey, the highest known point in
Pennsylvania was near Lutherburg,
Clearfield county. where peak reach
es the elevation of 2,7s0 feet. Mr..
Matley has furnished his surveys and
calculations to the government engi-
neers having in charge the new geo
logical survey OF the state, and the
latter have accepted Big Bald Knob
as the eliminating point in Pennsyl.

lie saw both, but in such a place thai
4 l.

He saw both, but in such place that
ne shuddered as he looked.
At the very brink of the fall, where
the torrent glided over with smooth,
awful rush, was a stunted laurel bush,
and ii grew from narrow ledge only
foot above the water.
Could he, as the stream hurled him
past, catch that bush? And if he
caught it, would it sustain his weight?
There was no time to answer the
question in his mind. He was being
swept toward the falls with awful
rapdity, and the bush was his only
chance for life.
He braced his nerves for the strain,
and swan toward the ledge. The
next instant he had seized the bush
with both hands, and the current was
dragging at his feet. The first mo-
ment of suspense was over-the laurel
held!
Slowly he drew himself by inches
from the water, and finally lay weak
and painting upon the ledge.
"By mater, that was closet"
Up to this time he had given no
thought to his canoe or to the deer,
but now his attention was attracted
to the latter by shrill bleat of ter
FOR.
The buck had also been unable to
regain the bank, and, before the eyes
of his former foe, he was swept, strug-
Cling, over the fall, followed by the
overturned canoe.
Hatton shuddered and turned his
gaze away. Apparently his fate was
to be the same, for the cliff at the
foot of which he lay was almost per-
pendicular, and it's side offered no
hold for the feet or hands of climb
err. He could only maintain his posi-
ton until hunger and weakness
should make him fall into the tor
rent.
To this, after revolving in his mind
every possible and impossible means
of rescue, he Inally resigned himself.
The roar of the water filed his ears
and showed him the uselessness OF
shouting, even If there were anyone
in the neighborhood to hear.
The sun had reached the meridian,
and now began its descent toward the
west. As the shadows heightened
the hunters thoughts grew more and
mere gloomy, and he even questioned
whether it would not be better to
drop from the ledge and end the
matter at once.
Suddenly a prolonged "whoope-e"
sounded family through the noise OF
the fall from the woods above him.
In his surprise and excitement Hat
ton sent forth yell of such volume
| that it must have been heard, for
another cry came from the top OF
the rock. and, turning on his back,
the hunter saw familiar face look
ing down at him.
He waved his hand and shouted
with Joy, for with friend like Alt

special to the Leader
Braddock, Pa, June 29.-Charles M.
Schwab, President of the United States
Steel Corporation, joined Lieutenant
Hobson's class last night by kissing
two hundred women in the short space
of twenty minutes. Mr.. Schwab came
on from New York last night to his old
home here, and the members of the
First Presbyterian church thought this
would be a good occasion to thank him
for the $4,000 which he gave and
which cleared the church of it's indebt-
edness. Mr.. Schwab is Catholic. The
reception was held in the parlors of
the church last night
After Mr.. and Mrs. Schwab arrived
the congregation filed in. One of the
women, with baby in her arms, step
ped up to the couple and shook hands
with Mrs. Schwab. Then she turned
to Nh. Schwab. Mr.. Schwab murmur-
ed, What pretty baby" and STOPPING
down, kissed the child. Then he took
the mothers face in his hands and
kissed her. There was great applause
and cheers, and when the next woman
came up she also got kiss from the
great steel magnate. The woman filed
by and Mr.. Schwab kissed 200 of them.
After he had kissed all the women,
not disappointing one of them, he turn
ed and kissed Mrs. Schwab, who was
standing by laughing heartily. After
the kissing bee, Mr.. Schwab announced
that he intended to do something for
Braddock that Braddock would like.
He wouldn't say what it would be, but
the people here believe he intends to
give them a $50000O industrial school,

BEAUTIFUL GIRL
Proved to Be His Daughter Whom He
Had Never Seen,

When Doerr left his bride 90 years
ago he went directly to the California
gold fields. hoping to become rich in
a few years and then return to his
bride, but months and years went by
and still Doerr was poor. He kept up
his courage and after many years of
hard toll he made rich strike. He
had been away from his wife 19 years,
but he had worked so hard that the
years seemed only like days to him. He
went to the little Illinois town where
he expected to find his wife, but she
was not there and nobody seemed to
know where she was. Doerr then be-
gan hunt for her.
Doerr was walking on Main street
here yesterday morning when he pass
ed young lady who looked so much
like his girl-wife of 20 years ago that
he could scarcely control himself.
Surely that was not his wife, he
thought and yet the resemblance was
so great he could not help following
her She entered a street car and
Doerr occupied a seat just opposite her.
The young lady noticed that he scarce
ly took his eyes off of her and she be-
came very restless.
When she left the car DoerI also left,
and followed her to her home. After
she had entered he asked some of the
neighbors who lived there and was as
tonished to hear; Mrs. Doerr and her
daughter"
Doerr did not walk to the gate, but
bounded over the fenceand raped. Mrs.
Doerr came to the door, and there he
stood before his sweetheart and wife
whom he had not seen for score of
years. The recognition was mutual.
Miss Doerr appeared upon the scene,
and was surprised to find her mother
in the embrace of stranger. She
was told that the stranger was her
father and then there were more en-
braces, kisses and tears.
Explanations followed and Mr.. and
Mrs. Doerr and their daughter will
leave in few days for California.

Special TO the Leader.
Joplin, Mo-, June 29.-Twenty years
ago John Doerr disappeared from his
home in little Illinois village, leaving
a bride to whom he had been married
only month, and during all these
years nothing was ever heard from
him. He disappeared as completely as
if the earth had swallowed him. Yes
terday Doerr and his wife met in this
city.
Twenty years ago Mary Wilson was
one of the most popular young ladies
in the village in which she lived; she
had suitors by the score and could have
had most any of the young men of her
home town for a husband, but John
Doerr, young dry goods clerk was
her choice, and one day in June, 1881
they were married. They went to
home of their own. and for a month
their married life was a dream of hap
piness. But the young brides happi-
ness came to an abrupt ending one
day, when the husband-lover failed to
come home Doerr left her one morn
ing ostensibly to go to his work but
he failed to return. Mrs. Doerr sat up
all night awaiting him, but she waited
in vain.
Before year had passed Mrs. Doerr
who returned to her parents, became
the mother of one of the brightest OF
girl babies, and upon the new arrival
was bestowed all of the mothers love.
Her parents died within the next few
years, and being the only child, Mrs.
Doerr was left in possession of large
farm. Three years later she sold the
farm and with her daughter moved up
to this city where she has been very
successful.
The baby of nineteen years ago is
now most beautiful and accomplished
young woman. She had never seen
her father, but her mother had often
spoken of him and they knelt together
in prayer for him many times. Mrs.
Doerr always felt that some day her
husband would return and yesterday
their prayer was answered

that this night the elder of each and
every Chinese family pray fervently

has shown devotion which must ex-
cite every true hearted mans admi-
ration be he Christian or pagan.

cases in tho hands Of the magistrate.
Almost two dozen cases have already
been made out and the papers are
rapidly being put into shape for So
licitor Hildebrand to present to the
judge of this circuit court and obtain
the injunction orders.
Tho failure of the grand juries to
indict tho liquor sellers makes it nee
esssary to resort to the injunction
proceedings in the ondeavor to check
the free and open salo Of liquor in
Charleston. Imprison ment for con-
tempt seems to prove a summary
and effectual method of dealing with
the liquor sellers.

ELECTRIC EYEG eASSEs.
Which arc Guaranteed to Restore DImmed
or Darkened Vision.

There comes news from Germany
that DR.. Theodor Berndt of Wiesba-
den has invented what may be
termed electric eyeglasses, which are
guaranteed to restore dimmed or
darkened vision. The article in
question takes practically the same
shape as an ordinary pair of spec
tacles. The frame, however, is
specially constructed, being made Of
thin layers of copper and zinc.
TO produce the restorative electric
current the metal sides of the spec
tacles are moistened with vinegar or
some dilute acid. An electric cur
rent is thus caused to flow through
the eye nerves of tho patient and
greatly improved vision results.
In the case of plnce.nez the
bridge over the nose is weakened
with weak acid, and, as in the spec
tacles, whore the metal touches tho
skin moderately strong current
flows to tho eye nerves There
seems to be no reason why, If a
sufficiently strong current be en-
ployed, old, worn out and useless
nerves should not be rejuvenated.
