Held at Trinity Methodist Epis-
copal Church, in this CITY on
Thursday. at Q O'Clock p. M. over
the untimely death of the late
President William Mckinley, were
largely attended, and impressive to
a high degree.
No moro lovely and lofty songs
of praise were uttered anywhere
in the thousand similar occasions
held over this broad land than
were these. The ohoirs of the
various churches joined in open
ing the ceremonies with rendering
LEAD Kindly Light"
Rev. ID. 81. Reid's invocation in
prayer, was touching in the ex.
treme. Z scripturaI lesson was then
read by Rev. j. ii. Gibbons.
The sublime hymn, "Nearer My
God to Thee" was then sung, the
audience standing with bowed
heads as they recalled the fact that
this, William MoKinley's favorite
hymn was on his lips while last on
earth.
The Introductory remarks were
made by Rev. s.. j. Miller, Pastor
of Trinity Church, in most inn
pressive and tenderly expression of
the life and services of the late
President.
Addresses were then made by
Rev. j. 81. Gibbons and Judge
Poffenbarger, which were listened
to with CLOSE attention.
Miss Mary McCulloch then sung
a solo, Sometime, Somewhere
Well Understand" which was
rendered as sweetly as voice ever
poured forth song.
Hon. O. e. Hogg then spoke on
the life and character of the de-
ceased President. He was follow
ed by Hon. James B. Menager
who always saying the right thing.
in the most charming manner
spoke out what he thought of the
manly character of the late Presi-
dent, and of the necessity for dras.

vent repetition of suoh an awful

ment, our greatness and happiness
as people, then to be shocked
with such black deed, were ex.
tremely eloquent.
Rev. D. Ii. Reid delivered the
closing address, which we car
truly say touched the hearts Of
his hearers even unto tears. His

The following prophecy was
made by Henry Ward Beeoher
morethan score of years ago in
an address delivered at ST. Louie,
Mo. tits interesting reading in
the light of present oonditions:
al must, however, make haste to
say that among the dangers of the
times is one which has developed
out of the accumulation of enor-
nous and consolidated wealth. 1t
I stand in the city of New York
and look southwark / see railroad,
the Pennsylvania Central, that
runs aoross the oontinet with allits
connections. Its leases and
branches represent capital of
some millions of dollars. If turn
my eyes to the north 1 see the Erie,
whore many hundreds of millions
lie, if still further to the north, l
see the great New York Central,
that represents hundreds of mill.
ions of dollars. These three roads
represent thousands of millions of
consolidated capital Now, sup
pose in an emergency the railroad
demands more legal privileges; sup
pose there was some great national
question which demanded that the
president of the United States
should be man, and the senate
should be composed of men
playing into the hands of the great
national railroads consolidated
capitalists, what power is there on
the continent that could for mo-
ment resist them2 IT, is not a
great many years since it would
seem atrocious to have suggested
that thought. But legislatures
have been bought and sold, until
we think no more about it than OF
selling so many sheep and cattle
Does anybody suppose that if ii
were national interest that these
vast corporations were seeking to
subserve there is any legislation on
this continent that could not be
crushed or bought out by this des'
pot, compared which even slavery
itself were small danger2 One Of
the greatest humiliations as ma.
ton that is so justly proud of sc
many things is that which has fall.
en- upon our congress. When we
see the Shiny track of the monster
we may justly ask: What are we
coming tor There has got to be a
public sentiment created on this
subject or we will be swept away
by common ruin.
81 tell you that the shadow that
is already cast upon the land is
prodigious. 1 do not believe in
the sooiologist, in the information
al, nor the oummunist; but when l
see what the rich men as GLASSES
are doing with our legislatures,
what laws they have passed, what
disregard there is to great common
interests, fear that the time will
come when the workingmen will
rise up and say that they have no
appeal to the courts; no appeal to
the legislatures; that they are
bought and sold by consolidated
capital, and when the time comes,
unless it brings reformation, it will
bring revolution. If any suoh
time does come, do not hesitate
to say 1 will stand by the common
people for the encouragement of
the working people, and against
the consolidated capital of the
land"

West YirgInin on.

Oil we'll contractors in the terri.
tory requiring deep drilling are
threatening to go out of business
says the West Virginia Daily Oil
Review. The price for drilling
has been reduced to$ per foot
and they argue they cannot meet
their hardware bill and pay their
labor at that price. Recently cord,
age has been advanced in price and
steel has ranged high in price
since the trust has had control, 1t
is not often that conditions with
contractors become so disoourag-
ing as to render decided action
necessary. but in the present case
it is not improbable that many sets
of drilling tools will be hung up
and many contractors be compelled
to quit the business. The Carter
Oil Company is said to have taken
the initiative in reducing prices,
and being Standard Oil Company
corporation and under their con-
troll and management it becomes APP
parent that their action will be fol-
lowed by the South Penn and 9TH
er large operators more or less iden-
titled with them. In times of pros
perity, such as seem in store for
the oil country, it scarcely seems
in keeping with general conditions
that prices for drilling should be
reduced. Scarcity of territory may
be largely responsible for the de-
termination of the larger oompan-
les to reduce prices. Irresponsi-
BILE contractors may have attempted
cut in rates, but the fact remains
that drilling deep wells in West
Virginia at 81 per foot is not prof.
table, and it is a waste of valuable
time and energy on the part of con-
tractors to attempt to do business
at suoh prices.
