The county commissioners thi.
week received a check for Pike :
share Of the bonus paid BY the
Erie, s2124 This comes in very
handy at a time when there are so
many bridges to rebuild and abut-
ments TO repair, and is a great relief
to the taxpayers We suggest to
our next representative, whoever he
may be, that il he wishes to ingrat.
late himself with the farmers, if the
county commissioners have not tho
power TO make a change, to have a
bill passed providing for a change
in the time of collecting taxes. The
last days for so doing to receive the
rebate in this county are now in
July. This is a time when farmers
as a rule, are most cramped for
funds. Haying, harvesting and
other work must be paid for and no
crops are yet marketable. Then,
too, at this season there are no ex-
penses on the county beyond the
very Ordinary, no court until Octo-
Der, and every two years the land
sales and taxes paid on all wild
lands not owned by the state. There
certainly seems no good reason why
the commissioners could not by a
little judiclous management accom-
modate the county finances so as
to make the time for paying taxes
say September when it would be far
more convenient for farmers. If
the present law is a bar to this then
let our coming representative sound
the people on this matter ana see if
it would not please his constituents
TO have the change made. Apropos
to this matter is the manner of col
lecting taxes. It is becoming diff.
cult. at least in some townships in
this county, TO procure township
collectors. Large bonds must be
given and they are at some trouble
and inconvenience to come ana set
tie their accounts. Why could not
che collecting of taxes devolve on
the county treasurer who gives a
bond to cover them all. Then, too,
the taxes would be available as soon
as paid and notably in some recent
cases this has not been the fact.

Image Of the holy shroud Engravs,
on a Gem Dating from the
Second Century
During the universal excitement
caused by the supposed miraculou.
discovery Of the image of Christ on
the Holy Shroud of Turin, It is Of
interest to announce that there ex.
lists another relic-certainly auth6n.
tic as a relic-which also presents tc
view an image of the Savior, as i'm.
printed upon the shroud in which
His body was wrapped
In a wonderful collection of his.
toriCal gems, commonly supposed to
be the most extensive and valuable
of its kind, is an engraved stone on
which the STROUD and its precious
imprint are portrayed. This collec-
tion is that of the University of
Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia,
which represents the life work of
Mr. Maxwell Sommerville, Professor
of Glyptology at that institution,
corresponding member of the So
ciete Academique des Sciences, Arts
ct Bellies -Lettres of the Department
of the Aube, etc
The stone is a gem of the second
century, A. d., chalcedony, and
its carved surface represents a true
portrait Of the Holy Sudarium.
Professor Sommerville, student,
soldier, whose hair, moustache and
imperial have grown gray in his
persistent search for historical an
tiquities in all lands. dived at once
into the early centuries with the
same familiarity that the common
laity would deal with events a week
old, when a Herald correspondent
called at his apartments in the Ho-
tel du Louvre a few days ago. In-
cidental to the main subject, it may
be remarked that Professor Som
merville has lived at this hotel off
and op for forty years, so that he is
well acquainted with the locality of
the Louvre.
ut was not until the fifth cen
tury, A. D., he said, "that Christ
was represented in all his divine
beauty by these Inscriptions, but
even in the second century, during
the Roman decline, the gem engrav-
ers made many of these record
bearing objects, representing the
most important events then taking
place"
Asked what he thought of the
authenticity of the Turn shroud
and of the discovery of the mega
tive" thereon, Professor Sommer-
vile declined to confirm or deny,
adding that he had never examined
the shroud. He was inclined, how
ever. to think that, taken as a his
torical relic in itself, the gem in his
representing the shroud,
was of more value than the shroud
so carefully guarded and so highly
priced at Turin.
The inscription on this stone is
very simple. 1t represents a con
clave of a number of early Roman
during the first days of
the Roman Catholic Church. TIE
are holding in front of
them the shroud, on which is i'm.
printed-with exaggerated clearness
of oourse-the double image Of the
Christ, and are evidently contem-
plating it and discoursing upon the
it brings to mind.
Professor Sommerville actually
lives within the atmosphere of the
glyptie treasures he has gathered
up from all points of the Old World
and, quite naturally, this gem is
only one of the thousands that com
pose the collection which he has
been thirty years in perfecting.

Presbv.erian Revision.

The committee on revision of the
Westminster confession submitted
its report last Friday to the general
assembly in New York. Some of the
suggestions contained are quite rad
ical and will meet with objections
from the older ministers and lay
men in the church and will possibly
be favored by the younger men.
The question of revision has been
largely discussed in the church and
after much consideration enough
was won over to the idea that re-
statement of some of the doctrines
in order to make them more clear to
the lay comprehension, was desir-
able. The most striking changes
contained in the report are shown
by the following comparison:
Old-Eleot infants, dying in in
fancy, are regenerated and saved
by Christ.
New-We believe that all dying
in infancy are included in the elec-
tion of Grace.
Old-Neither are any other re-
deemed by Christ, effectually called,
justified, adopted, sanctifed and
saved but the elect only.
New-No man is condemned ex
cept on the ground of his sin.
Old-Nor can the Pope of Rome
in any sense be the head thereof,
but is the antichrist-that man Of
sin and son of perdition.
New--The claim of any man to be
the Vicar of Christ and the head of
the church is unspiritual
Old-Works done by unregeherate
men they are therefore
sinful and cannot please God.
New-Works done by unregener-
ate men they come short
of what God requires.

One day last week the president
reviewed the annual maneuvers and
sham battle of the Washington high
school cadets. Not content, as has
been the custom Of former presidents,
with viewing the formation from a
distance, the president requested that
he be permitted to make close
inspection and walked twice the en-
tire length of the regimenhl line,
about 1 200 feet, carefully inspecting
the front and then the back of the
line. At the conclusion he made
a little speech to the colonel, compli-
menting him on the appearance of
his linen" and the excellence of their
performance of the usual tactics.
Among the privates in the corps was
the small son Of Minister WI who is
learning TO be soldier along Amer

The democrats still continue to
play on their single string and are
prolonging the Philippine debate to
the last possible moment but there is
reason to believe that the vote will
come some time this week. What
bill will follow the Philippine meas
ure has not yet been definitely set
tied and Senator Allison, chairman
of the republican steering committee,
assured me that he did not know
himself, when / saw him Saturday.
81 get all my inside Information from
the bright young men who represent
the press, these days, and, as you
have the inside track on that, you
probably know more than I do"
facetiously remarked the senator
when | tried to 'pump" him. There
is a rumOr abroad that congress will
adjourn without acting upon either
the Cuban reciprocity bill or the
Nicaraguan canal bill and as soon as
l had heard it / had sought the
senior senator from Iowa. He said
he hardly thought congress would do
that but when / asked him to con-
firm a positive statement which he
made to me some weeks ago, that
the canal bill would be considered
at this session, he refused to do 50.
Some republican senators believe that
the canal bill will be considered FIRST
and others that the Cuban bill will
take precedence.
