Rev. Edgar M. Smead, who has
been rendered unanimous call by
the Presbyterian congregation here,

day. Prices realized were good and
Mr.. Nelson expresses his thanks to
the people for the liberal manner
in which they responded. The AK
ticles sold were mostly almost new
and while good prices were the rule
good values were received. Thus
both the seller and the buyers have
cause for qualification.

1t is said on excellent authority
that Rev. G. B. Carpenter, rector of
the Episcopal church, will in the
near future sever his relations with
this parish and go to Tenafiy, near
New York. The community can i'll
afford to lose so active, energetic and
popular a man. Mr.. Carpenter dur
ing his comparatively brief stay here
has greatly endeared himself not only
to his parishioners but the towns
people generally. He has added
much to the temporal prosperity of
his church and greatly strengthened
its spiritual interests. In both his
untiring energy has been crowned
with unusual success and he win be
sorely missed. With his many
friends we cordially wish for him
pleasant surroundings and a contin-
uance Of the prosperity in his new
parish which has emphasized his
labOrs for good In this community.

The sensation Of the week in CON
gress was the introduction by Repre-
sentative Richardson, the democratic
leader, Of a series Of resolutions call
ing for the investigation of alleged
charges based upon what purports to
be the secret report of one Captain
Christmas, an alleged agent Of the
Danish government, in which Christ
mas maintains that ne has made pro-
vision for the payment in bribes Of
10 per cent. Of the purchase price of
the Danish West Indies. The reso-
lutions produced a great sensation in
the house, as they evidently intended
to do, and they were unanimously
adopted. Speaker Henderson inn
mediately appointed an ivestigating
committee.

thus better fitting as for society. It
frequently relieves one Of much
conceit aud is the means Of awaken
ing new ideas. aud association leaves
its imprint either for better or
worse. Evil associations induce
evil thoughts and evil habits which,
fixed in early youth, are seldom
changed in after life. It is possible
20 find some exceptions TO this but /
venture to say they are few. How
careful we should be that children
are properly trained There are
two ways. "Onward is the watch
word, and Of these two one must be
taken, either a life of usefulness,
humble though it may be, or one Of
nothingness. The early training Of
the child will be largely determined.

munity, then the nation, the inte-
gral part of which is the individual.
Find an association of helpless inOi-
viduals and you have a helpless
community, and a helpless com
munity makes a helpless nation.
Again, the individual is the unit

Senator Lodge tells me that his
Philippine civil bill is about com
pleted and will be reported to the
senate at an early date. The demo-
crats will contest the measure on the
floor Of the senate and tile proceed
ings promise to be tedious when the
matter comes up for discussion.
There is very little that the demo-
crats>c say which they have not
already expressed in the debate on
the Philippine revenue bill, but that
will not prevent them from weary
ing the senate and the country with
their verbose and ainless opposition.

A certain amount Of anxiety de-
veloped in the ways and means cum
mittee last week when it was dis
covered that without the vote of
Representative Babcuck, who has
been seriously III, the committee
would be unable to report to the
house the reciprocity measure which
it has been preparing. Mr.. Babcock
was sent for by the president, how
ever, and is understood to have
agreed to attend the necessary meet
ing and cast his vote for the admin

ion will probably occur when the bill
comes up for consideration in the

The purchase of this ground. be-
aide which tile contemplated Phila.
delphia g. Western Railroad will
run, has given rise to the story
that the new road Is to be built 10
the interest of the Gould party.
This supposition is ridiculed by
President Huston. who said that
such an idea was wrong and on his
part he did not believe that any
railroad interests outside OF tho
Kelly faction were engaged ia the
con struction OF The new road.
Around Coalesville there is con-
siderable discussion ID relation to
the new road. The line Of the
Philadelphia g. Western is a cir.
cutlous one aud if followed out
would be very expensive to con.
struct All the work that has been
done is outside Of Coatesvile. Be.
yond the borough line there has
been some right OF way secured,
but ia the borough no attempt has
been made to take up the line as
mapped out. 1t is thought by the
borough authorities that the road
will follow some Of the leading
streets in Coatesville.
In regard to the report that the
road is being built in the interest of
the Gould party it was said yester.
day that this belief is an error,
and that if any railroad company
were interested 10 its construction
