THE OLD STONE CHURCH.
Written for the Democratic Advocate,
BY o. C. sHIPLEY


Standing alone ON the village green
A landmark old it long hath been
The old stone church, now dcsoate,
Low fallen from IFS former state
With crumbling walls where cings dank mould
Whore bats their nightly reves hold.
Within its walls in by-gone days
Often were heard loud songs of praise:
And ''three-lnile prayers, and haif-mile groans,'
Pitched in their proper piors tones.
Here women watched 1.-THE latest style
Lads ogled lasses DER the aisle.
Here too WAS born full many scheme
To do their fellow man. The dream
OF love first smote the youthful breast;
Here gossip went in eager quest
OF irving green,'' like Noah's dove
Sent out the food tide high above
"Ex perience meetings" here also
Were held full off, some years ago.
A kind of "lree for all 10 speak,
A "go you please. if you'd the cheek.
Sad truth oft they contained lots of fun.
Like mourning coaches when the funerals done. -
Into one of these one afternoon
1t was balmy day in June
There slowly stumbled long, lean chap
'.Haf seas-over'' or more, perhaps;
He sat him down beside the door,
And eyed the little gathering DER.
Up rose a "brother'-" nameless here
Forevermore" He wiped tear
From off his nose, and then he said
Dear friends, the devil is not dead;
Let's whip the old chap round the stump
Give him whack at every jump
But friends I'M truly glad to say
He doesn't bother me today
For Pm follower of the Lord
Here his dropped tears i'll full accord;
welded one of his daughters, too,
And all my children are blue.
Then down he sat- yelling Amen
silence reigned awhile, and then
A shuffiing sound down by the door,
As rose the long lean chap, before
Alluded to- and thus spoke he:
What the deacon said is news to me.
'Tis true indeed do not come
Unto this place. yet there are some
OF you here who will agree
He married in a good family.
I've known him long, ay quite spell
And know his habits very we'll
| wonder if He of whom he spake
Knows that he's following in His wake;
And if he hasn't lost the trail
I'm sorry too yes l bewail
That despite his chinning, and his jaw,
He'll never see his father-in-law.

During a prolonged fast the loss of
weight is unusually rapid at first and
decreases as the time goes on Death
ensues when a certain percentage of
the loss has been reached. and this per-
centage varies according to the origi-
nal weight. Fat animals may lose half
their weight, thinner ones perhaps two
fifths. A man or woman of rather
spare build weighing 143 pounds
might, therefore, lose about So pounds
before succumbing. Children die after
a fast of from three to five days, dur
ing which they have lost quarter of
their weight. Healthy adults, however.

TERMS FOR A SETTLEMENT.
Both Sides Hopeful of Ending
Steel Strike.
MEETS AT PlrTssuae TO-DAY.
Executive Committee Of the AmaIga-
mated Association Will Consider
Proposition of United States Steel
Corporation for Settlement.

Pittsburg, July 30.-The following
terms OF settlement of the strike come
from an authoritative source and can
be relied upon as the outcome of the
meeting of the confcrees:
The Amalgamated association is to
drop it's contention for the signing of
scale for all mills; all mills are to
be ''open' mills in the fullest sense
of the term; the company is to have
the right to place nonunioR man in
any plant and keep him there, in ad-
dition to the plants covered by the
expired scale it is to be signed by the
following: w. Devices Wood of Nc
keesport, Painter, Lindsay and Nc
Cutcheon and Clark mills of Pittsburg
and Monessen plant of the American
Steel Hoop company.
The question of making the Wells
vile sheet plant and the Monessen tin
plate plant directly covered by the
scale is to be settled by the conferees
The Amalgamated association is to
have the privilege of organizing the
men in any of the plants.
The executive committee of the
Amalgamated association is expected
to ratify the provisional terms out
lined by the New York conference.
One of the most apparent facts in
the status of the strike was the de-
termination of the strikers to lose no
ground in their struggle while peace
negotiations are being conducted. The
strikers claim to have more than held
their ground since the strike began
and since the opening of the campaign,
they claim to have increased their
membership in McKeesport alone to
over 1900. Accessions to the ranks
have also been made IN the Wellsville,
Pittsburg, Allegheny, Mingo junction
and Riverside plants. With the Amer
lean Steel Hoop company the change
has been one of the most sweeping.
Before the strike practically all but
two of the mills were nonunion. At
this time all but one of the mills of
this company are union and are idle
| from the strike.

An Idea of Mars.

Gas for me-" said NJ. Flammarion,
speaking of the inhabitants of Mars in
The National Magazine, 81 rather envy
them-a land where it is always beau
tiful, where there are neither tempests
nor cyclones. where the years are twice
as long as ours, where the kilogram is
of 376 grams and where, therefore, men
and women who here weigh 70 kilos
there weigh only 26, and where, in a
word, everything is lighter. more deli
cate and more refined"
And in another place he goes fur
ther, pointing out that if the Martians
wished to communicate with us they
would have doubtless made the effort
many times in the past and probably
long ago abandoned it, deciding it a
hopeless business to attempt commune
cation with a planet so stupid.

Question AS To lden.
tity Of body Found.
Sioux City Papers contain a
Sensational Story. Little
Credit Given 1t By the Peo-
pie Here.

8 Sunday Sioux City papers contain
columns of sensational matter asserting
that it was not the body of Chris. Harm
which was discovered in Soldier Creek.
From those whom we have been able to
see we learn that the report is consider
ed pure yellow journalism by Charter
Oak people and that the Sioux City pa
pers are apt to be sued for libel for the
publication. We print below a brief
synopsis of the Sioux City articles, but
with the statement that the story seems
improbable and that in our opinion the
parties named have not been guilty of
the crime ascribed to them.
Sioux City, July PA special was
received here today from Ute, Ia. giving
peculiar developments in the Palmer
Harm scandal. 1t is now believed that
the body found IN the SoldierCreek was
not that of Harm at all. but another
dead body which has been procured at
Omaha and palmed off as Harms corpse
by parties interested, the object of the
proceeding being to secure $4,000 in
surance, which Harm carried, furnish
grounds for Sl0,0 000damage suit against
Palmer, the accuser of Harm. and de-
feat a suit brought for the same amount
AGAINST Harm by Richard Palmer who
accused Harm of unlawful relations
with Mrs Palmer
Circumstantial evidence backs up the
supposition. The Soldier Creek was
less than two feet deep at the time Mr..
Harm was supposed to have drowned,
and at the time of the finding of the
body was a foot deep. Harm, who is a
six-footef, would have had to hold his
head under water, which would have
been almost impossible He has been
in two similar scandals before and had
shown no tendency to suicide. The con-
dition of the body was not what it would
have been if it had lain in the water
seventeen days.
A few days after Harms disappear
ance Attorney Harding of Charter Oak,
counsel for Mrs. Harm. and G. Schurke
of the same town, made a mysterious
trip to, o,Omaha and on their RETURN sug-
gested that Soldier Creek be searched.
I Heavy rains on July 4. would have
washed the body away had it been in
the creek at that. time.p 44
The body was found July s. by BOYS
fishing and was identified by keys and
a notebook.

American line steamer Allegheny

arrested and running to one of the
ships masts he seized the German
flag which was lying there and
wrapped it about him. Then he stood
forward and cried out: 'I am under

Gives Game TO Denison
by Big Score.
Denison Boys Play Good
Ball Both at Bat and in the
Field.

Denison defeated the Woodbine ball
team last Friday by the decisive score
OF Is to !. AT the opening both teams
played an amateur game and the score
at thh end of the first inning stood 4
TO 4. Denison took q brace after this
ana the hetdlng was almost without an
error. Hester played splended game
as pitcher and Rudd did etfectivly as
catcher. Bear made two home runs
during the game. The first of which
Went over the right field fence and hit
the second house beyond 5efore it
touched the ground. Woodbine secur-
ed but three scores. After the
first inning cthe Woodbine team
did not play good ball. The field
ing was bad and the third baseman
made nearly all the errors the law al
lowed, but he was not alone in his
fumbllng. In the sixth inning Denison
made nine scores and after that no
effort was made to increase the score
the boys practicing bunting rnd maxi
ing but one additional run. Tee Wood
bine team was out-classed and the fact
was demonstrated that the Denison
team is really far superior to the
average and that it is only the best
that beat them. The game was too
one-sided after the sixt inning to prove
very interesting. Below we give the
official score.
