FOR ELDERLY WOMEN.

It is mistake as woman grows
 older to buy what are known as novel; l ty goods-those which come into fash
 ion every spring and autumn--for how
 ever attractive they may be in their
 bright colorings or intricate weaves, 1 they are marked by their very beauty, wear there is nothing like a camels l hair or black broadcoth. medium | length skirt with straight lines of trim ming, sufficient width around the hips and yet fitting closely, and a three quarter-length cloak, make a capital street gown. The coat can be in the | one-piece style, Or have the attached skirts, as desired, but the fitted coat with the straight front is the best. A very good gown of this description is of iron-gray cheviot or camePs-hair so
 dark as to look almost black; it is made
 with lines of black braid down the
 front, finishing in double circles toward
 the hem of the skirt. The coat is faceed
 with stitched black revrrs, or with
 white on which is again the braid like
 the skirt. It is a very simple gown and
 a very smart one. An excellnt invest
 ment for any woman as she grows old
 CT is a good black peau de soie or silk
 gown made with train, trimmed with
 jet or lace with the waist in jacket ef-
 feet and position back, and with some soft white chiffon or lace in front. Lace
 gowns are not suitable for elderly wo-
 men, but there can be nothing hand
 somer than lace and velvet or lace and silk. Velvet is another mater always in fashion for elderly women, and a long black velvet cloak is a very hand some outer garment. Most elderly wo- men prefer to wear black, relieved with white at the throat or the front of the gown, and black velvet or jet bonnet with aigret of white is always suitable But some women look well In dark pllr pie and gray relieved by q touch of lighter purple Ii is a mistake to wear bright colors. For the moment white is the most fashionable color eveen for middle-aged women. It seems odd to See a woman of forty-fve or fifty with white htir, wearing a white hat, and yet it is exceedingly becoming, and is seen verywhere.-Harper's Bazar.

REV. DR. ELDRIDGE'S s SERMON
PREACHED AT THE SPECIAL PAT
 RIOTIC SERVICE

l Held at the First Methodist ChurcE, | Last Ntght--ssMtnfstry of Great Men,'' I Was the subject-Admirai Foote Post 1 Present by Invttation-Church Hand- | someIy Decorated for the Occasion. A special patriotic service was held
 at the First Methodist church last eve | ming in commemoration of Washing tons birthday, and Admiral Foote post
 G. A. R. was present by invitation and
 occupied reserved seats in the front of
 the church. The boys brigade of the church also attended in uniform, The interior of the church was handsomely decorated for the occasion, with flags and bunting. Rev, Dr. Eldridge, pas tor of the church, delivered the sermon, the subject being Ministry of Great Men" Dr. Eldridge's address was a
 very able one and was listened to with
 deep interest by the large congrega-
 tion present. It was from the text,
 Gen. xii, 2, And I will bless thee," etc.
 It was in substance as follows:
 This text is one of the rare disclos-
 ures of the Bible. It holds the secret
 of true greatness, "I will make thy name great; and thou shalt be a bless
 ing" This meeting of God and man is the secret of human greatness.
 q love the Bible and it's marvellous stories of life, but our surroundings must shape our thoughts tonight We are in the presence of honored veterans, sons of veterans, relief corps, and boys brigades. These suggest history that has been and is yet to be. We are also in the presence of holy memories. Last autumn we buried our Mckinley; last week we remembered the birthday of a Lincoln, and only yesterday we cele- brated again the birth of our country's father.
 We are blessed in memories we are rich in great men, and it is kind of wealth that should be developed. We may be glad for statistics of prosperity, but 'tis better to have monuments to our heroes, for we live by our great men.
 "He that feedeth men serves few;
 He serves all who dares be true"
 God has his great occasions but he 'tloO Has HIS SIGdJ ulell, anu tllC SlCdL man is always just little greater than the occasion. Suppose the occasion had never comei An. but suppose the occasion had come to another man. what then?
 The Revolution as it comes to us to- 1 day was not in the times, but in George Washington. Looking back up- on those times what a chaos was there; l what a surging of forces and breaking | of bands; our humanity making break l for liberty, but hardly showing what it l was or how to find it. The events | rush forward through Lexington, Bun | ker Hill Yorktown rapidly wildly cir i cling and eddying and whirling on. l looking for a man, some master of | events, some cosmic force to carry the | rebellion into a revolution. Someone | whose very soul should understand the l of freedom, who should know

dence were working out nations des- tiny through this man.
 The experience of Lincoln was the same. You will remember the fearful ordeal. the merciless criticism this man endured The country impatient, wild and frantic was crying, Let this thing cease" Strong men reeled beneath the burden, and no ray of light seemed breaking. Then one long night he kept vigil with God, and when the morning dawned he saw his way; the light was Breaking, Gettysburg was not far off and the country was saved
 It is one of the miracles of God that man should stand in the seething focus of that wild unearthly hour and so hold on to his faith in God and God s humanity as to command the clements and out of chaos redeem a nation.
 We need to live more with our great men, for greatness is born of great ness. When we lose our appreciation of great men we shall lose our capacity for greatness. It took John the Bap- tist to appreciate the Son of God when He came, and the appreciation made John all the greater.
 We are dying for lack of these higher expectations. If an angel came with pockets in his robes and money in them we listen, but if he has nothing but the glory of God in his face we are too busy We crush a flower under foot because it has no place in the com lnerce of life. But wait, stand look, study. "Ah!" said Tennyson, If could understand you I should know about God and man."
 Our great men are waiting to tell us great things about God and man. Our schemers bring their schemes, our smart men bring their tricks, our spoil CTS bring their rotten gold, but our great men bring us themselves; they bring us more of God and more of man, one in music, one in truth, one in free dom, one in love.
 The great man is like a mountain, the summit is far aloft and alone with God. You feel this as you look upon them; that face of Washington's firm, true, determined; such features did not come by chance, but were wrought up there in the atmosphere of pure God given convictions And that sad face of Lincoln chastened into unearthly strength and mysterious light, it too same from the unseen holy; while the well-rounded and genial face of Me Kinley was bathed in the light that lies above the earth-clouds. That part of their eye rises far above us, away with God But, like the mountain, their base rests here on earth; it's broad; it's ample it's accessible.
 This is the other measure of their greatness. About the base of these spiritual mountains our humanity lives, down their slopes come the wealth of God, principles of life, government and here we find the inspiration that lifts the sordid lowlander into a high lauder of God; here we find that true greatness is democratic, the great ness of faith. All men, as Mrs. Browning puts it. are possible heroes. "The lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime"

the difference between letters and laws
 between liberty and license, between l the means and the end. I can imagine
 with what calm, deep vision Washing | ton looked upon that discordant hour; looked and looked and looked till he looked it into shape.
 Mark how he took up this course,
 moving slowly from sympathy to jus
 tice, from justice to liberty, from lib-
 erty to independence. And when he
 had taken it up in this broad and im-
 partial way it was such cause as hu-
 manity must reverence; and when he
 had borne it so patiently and master
 fully to the end it was such course as
 God must sanction.
 I can only think of some great rock
 against which the wild waves dash. A
 rock, however, that does not simply
 hurl them seaward again, but rather
 catches the broken spray and builds it away into an enduring temple of human
 liberty You and I know that not ev- cry revolutionist was hero. Laggards and towards, and self-seeking men we had petty interests, bickerings and strife. But our revolution, the revolu- ton of humanity that has sped the pro- gress of man; the revolution of God that triumphed was the revolution of Washington, in him 1t lived, and wrought and achieved. We are not wrong when we name the age after the great man.
 Of the three great names already mentioned, the critics have said the same thing,-not a genius, not great, but good.
 But it seems to me that this frantic effort to account for mans life, to ex- plain him by telling what he is not, is the finest testimony to the unfath- omed mystery and infinite meaning of what he is. care little what you call it. You may count genius to be a cer- tain fireworks of the brain; greatness to be a certain napproachableness of life; and goodness moral inaninity; but I count genius, greatness, goodness just the art of living with God and man at one and the same time.
 If you ask me for the one word at the heart of the greatness of these men I would say faith Faith as the Bible puts it, not a form but substance; faith in God and faith in humanity. This is the secret of all greatness; the cynic is never great. God never lets man with sheer on his lip very deeply into things. It is by faith Dickens gives us little for the martyr, and Mark Tapley the hero, and Traddles the do- nestle saint.
 Washington, Lincoln and Mckinley were simply men of faith. The radi- calls said they were so slow, the con- servatiVes said they were too fast; meantime they have given us a new idea of greatness. Not the greatness of a Napoleon that breaks like a wave against human destiny and falls into helpless foam, but the greatness of the tide that lifts and lifts, and lifts, borne upward by an unseen power.
 Washington was an Englishman in every sense of the word, but deeper than that he was man; and slowly the Englishman passed through the man into the American and took his | with him, His faith, his in sight told him this was what God was saying and what man was trying to say | and couldn't. While others were the great currents of Provi- |

The declination of John G. Nc
Henry to become a candidate for
Congress, which was published last
week, was received with much re-
gret by his many friends and ad-
mirers, not only in this county, but
in other counties of the district.
His known ability, his strict integ-
rity, and his unswerving democ-
racy have put him in the front
ranks of leadership, and his party
will some time, no doubt, demand
his services in the halls of legisla-
tiou. He is young man yet, and
he feels that his business demand S
his entire attention now, but in the
future, under different conditions.
he may be induced to yield to the
demands Of his friends.

What is the reason so few citi
lens take any interest in the choice
of Councilmen, asks the Altoona
T,16nne, self-imposed query,
which it fittingly answers in these
words, and which will apply to
Bloomsbury as we'll /:
"The Councilmen are the men
who transact the businets of the
borough. Upon their ability, their
honesty and the local patriotism
depends the character, in a large
measure, of the borough govern
ment. Every inhabitant of this
town is vitality concerned in its
management The poor man who
does not own penny's worth of
real estate, but who does pay rent
is equally interested with his land
lord, for he can depend upon it that
he will pay all the taxes levied
upon the house he inhabits and
more, too. Men who pay their
rent and their other bills pay their
full share Of the taxes. 1t is folly
to think otherwise. 1t Is essential
that business ability be placed in
the councils and at the head of our
government and in every depart
nent of our local life if we are to
have the best and most economical
administration. But this may be.
so the people must become inter
ested. The work of selecting our
local servants is a matter OF the ut.
most Importance.

1t is held by our exchanges,

and Ree0rd, that the amendments
recently adopted to the State con-
stitution does away with the num-
bering of the ballots The new
amendment which strikes out all of
Section a. Article 8, of the consti-
tuition that required the numbering
of the ballots, reads as follows:
"Strike out Section 4, Article 8,
and insert therein as follows: Sec
tion q. All elections by the citizens
shall be by ballot or by such other
method as may be prescribed by
law. Provided, that secrecy in
voting be preserved" That is all
there now is of Section a, and it
does not require the ballots to be
numbered. Nor do the laws re-
quire the numbering since that
amendment has been adopted.
