MITCHELL ASSERTED WORSE.
Rev. DR.. King Declares Him More
Dangerous Than Prof Pearsons,
of Chicago.

Philadelphia, Jan 2S.-At the
weekly meeting of the Methodist
ministers of this city Rev. George H
Buckley read paper referring to the
published opinion of Prof Charles w
Pearson, of the Northwestern uni
versity. who recently questioned the
truth OF miracles mentioned in the
Bible. general discussion followed
the reading of the paper, resulting in
the denunciation of several text books

DR. j. NJ. King, of New York, one
of the secretaries of the board of
church extension, was present and ex-
pressed his opinion in an emphatic
manner. Il respect the board of

does not lead me to favor their ac-
ton, when. by majority of one, they
seated Presidetn Mitchell in the Bos.

vote OF one struck at the Divinity of
Jesus Christ.
CDR. Mitchell is a more dangerous
man than Prof. Pearson, because he
is the more learned Prof. Pearson
can easily be answered. but DR.
Mitchell is not to be disposed of so
readily. The place for an honest
man who does not believe in the fun

TO RAISE ANGORA GOATS.
Local Mention from Morris Y Roads,
Penna.

NORRIS X ROADS, Pa, January IS.
"A number of people owning land
along the river are thinking about
raising Angora Goats with view to
discovering all the possibilities OF the
animal as destroyer Of brush and
weeds. The first Angora Goats
brought TO this country were present.
ed 10 DR. James b. Davis of Colnm-
bia, S. c., by the Sultan Of Turkey In
ls49 as a reward for the Americans
services in connection with expert
ments in cotton culture In the Otto
man Empire.
The original animals came from
Asia Minor. From these animals a
large portion Of those now in the T..
S descended. The value Of the an
imal for it's wool product Of mohair Is
now engaging the thought Of the
manufacturers and then he is the best
known agent in the world for cleans
ing land of brush which would be in
cultivation but for the fact that it is
covered with underbrush. IAN An
CORA goat has the digestive capabill-
ties of the ostrich. He eats anything
while the fondness which he mani
tests for tangled thicket of under.
brush would put TO shame the proven
bal billy goat on city dump. 1t Is
said one animal can do more work in
cleaning up land than gang OF labor
ers and they do it permanently. 1t is
said there are 400, 600 Angora goats
in the United States and that the
annual production OF mohalr is over a
million pounds.

A letter was received this morn
ing by DIR. /, G, White which is of
very great interest to the people of
Morgantown. 1t is as follows:
AT meeting OF our Window Glass
company to-day it was decided to 10
cate at Morgantown, providing all
contracts can be made as stated to me
while there. Your donationwasaceept-
ed and we will send aeommittee in a

locate. Please acknowledge receipt
of this and state the number of acres
you are willing to donate Thank
ing you for your liberal offer. =
The name of the writer nor the
town from which he halls will not
be given at this time for obvious
reasons
Dr. White says that the plant will
be located on the White and Hirsch
man addition on the Nj. d X. The
establishment will be as large as
the Jones factory and 70 families
will come with the factory. The
plant is to be co operative one.
Work will start on it by the lst of
June and 1t will start to make glass
by Fall. 1t is now in operation in
another city but has determined to
remove for various reasons. The
only thing that remains to make it a
certainty is to have the contracts as
agreed upon by their representative
and Messrs Grant and Sturgiss for
gas and freight rates duly signed
and executed.
This is expected to be done with
out trouble and Morgantown will
get another big plant added to the
long list which she already has in
successful ope' alton. A town of
considerable size will be built on
the old Hackney farm up the creek
as result of the location OF this
plant.

that he was here four years ago,
and the white folks treated him so
well that he had been saving up
enough money in the intervening
four years to come again. He was

A Shrewd Butcher.

The employment agency that
deals with the most costly servants
in New York is situated III an up
town butcher shop which shows NO
outward indication of this phase of
its work. 1t is patronized by the
wealthiest New Workers, who en-
gage their cooks there. AS these
cooks draw salaries ranging from
$1,000 to $4,000, the engagement of
one Of them is a more or less impor-
tant matter. No fees are paid by
the servants or by the master, but
nobody doubts that the proprietor
makes his profit out of the arrange

the grateful cook who received

ployment that brings him several
thousand dollars a year will forget
the butcher shop over which this
man presides, and he thus receives
