LIBERTY.

What man Is there so bold that he should say,
'Thus and thus only would have the scar
For whether lying calm and beautiful
Clasping the earth in love throwing back
The smile OF heaven from waves of amethyst,
Or whether, freshened by busy Winds
1t bears the trade and navies of the world
To ends of use or stern activity,
Or whether, dashed by tempests, it gives way
To elemental fury, bowls and roars
At all its rocky BARRIERS in wild lust
OF ruin drinks the blood OF living things
And strews its wrecks Ger leagues OF desolate
shore,
Always it is the sea- and men bow down
Before its vast and varied majesty.
So all in vain will timorous ones essay
To set the metes and bounds Of liberty,
For freedom is its own eternal law.
1t makes its own conditions and in storm
Or calm alike fulflls the unerring will.
Let us not then despise 1t when it lies
Still as a sleeping lion. while swarm
OF gnatlike evils hovers round its head
Nor doubt it when in mad, disiointed times
1t shakes the torch of terror and its cry
Shrills Ger the quaking earth and in the fame
OF riot and war we see its awful form
Rise by the scafold where the crimson ak
Rings down its grooves the knell OF shuddering
kings,
For always in thine eyes, Liberty,
Shines that high light whereby the world is saved,
And though thou slay us, we will trust in thee!

Man and Woman.

The human animal finds in the oppo-
site sex the greater part OF his and her
mental life. The arts rose out OF sex.
When man ceased to capture woman,
he cut reed and blew a tune to win
her, and it was not until he had won
her that he began to take an interest
In the tune for its own sake.
Physical intimacies are but surface
emotions, forgotten as soon as they are
satisfied, whereas spiritual intimacies
live in the heart. They are part of our
eternal life and seem to reach beyond
the stars.-George Moore's SISTER Te-
resa."

SMALLPOX CASES
Develop Near the Belmont County
Inirmary-The Situation.

Develop Near the Belmont County
In6rmary-The Situation.
DR.. A. ]. Heinlein, of Bridgeport, dis
trict inspector for the State Board of
Health. was called to the Belmont
county infirmary yesterday, in regard
to smallpox suspect, anu was accom-
panied by Infrmary Director Jeff
Brown. Dr. Heinlein stated last even
ing that the situation was very unsat-
isfactory, and that while there was no
cases in the infirmary, almost all the
inmates had been exposed, and at pres
ent Harry Stewart, young man living
near the infirmary, had the smallpox, a
we'll developed case, but in mild form.
The first case was a young girl of this
same family, as was the second, both
now being well, and their brother
caught the disease from them. The
father works at the infirmary, and was
there every day, and when his young
daughter was recovering she accompan-
led him several times. Another
daughter, who was exposed, is now
visiting friends in Bellaire.
After Dr. Heinlein had fully investi-
gated the cases, he advised the .direc-
tors to quarantine the Stewart home
also the dnfrmary, and to receive nc
more persons to the infirmary, and to
use all necessary precautions, which
the directors will do. There is over
one hundred inmates in the buildings
and if the disease breaks out it will be
a very serious matter.
The doctor also visited a suspect al
Bannock and found it to be smallpox
and the township authorities will estab-
lish a quarantine.
1t is also rumored that there are
three cases in Wheeling township, near
Crabapple church.
The disease is now pretty we'll scat
tered over the county, and the authori-
ties will have 10 exercise more care il
there is not an epidemic Of the disease
All the inmates of the infirmary will
be vaccinated.

year, died within few hours Of each
other at the City Hospital, after having
been moved there on account OF the
flood.
The funeral services were conducted
by the Rev. Herman Preuss, of the
st. Stephens German Reformed
church, and the interment was at Mt.

largely attended by the many relatives

Chosen From This Presbytery.
On the 18th OF May the General As
sembly of the Presbv terian church will
meet at Philadelphia and much inter-
est is being taken In the coming ses-
sion OF the Presbyterians OF this vi
cinity. The delegates from this Pres

Laymen-Dr. MdKain, Washington,
Pa, and James Baird. OF Elm Grove
At this meeting there is much busi-
ness of unusual importance to come up.
Among this is the report OF the com
mittee of sixteen in regard to the con-
flict over the authority of the Bible
aroused in the Briggs and McGiffert
cases. There has been much division
over the question. Some of the new
school have energetically demanded a
revision of the Westminster confession,
but it is probable that the Assembly
will vote in favor of the retention of
the Westminster confession. Many
look for the report to be the spark
which will set the opposing parties in
conflict again.
