Immediate opening of the Holy
Spirit" If you was to ask us
New Thought people some of us
at least would say, sit was the
enlightening power of the
Eternal Goodness placing the
truth upon the subjective mind
of the seer with such distinction
that when his objective mind was
gathered into the stiffness the
truth was raised to the objective
mind and he was able to speak
forth what he subjectively saw.
In this vision the suffering Of
the colored people was pictured
with wonderful accuracy.
Now turning to a later period
to an incident recorded by that
wonderful woman and angel OF
mercy, Mrs. Mary A. Livermore
in her "My Story of the War"
and we will find an illustration
of this power given by an ignor-
ent colored woman who through
the mists of her clouded mind
was able to see the bright law OF
promise shining through the
mental gloom and showing her
the path for her to walk in. |
shall quote from the book. She
says:
THAT before the war several
years, there was a planter from
Louisiana, accompanied by his
wife made trip to New Port,
Rhode Island, and who took with
them their colored house keeper
but for fear she would run off
when in a free state as several
others had done, they left her
only child two or three years old
on the premises believing that
the mother would be so anxious
about the child she would not
desert her master and mistress.
When we got norf' said the
slave mother, Il didn't think den
to run away, but one saba morn
in Massa and Missis dey gone to
ride on de beach and l set down
on de door step tinkin of my
little chile and den de Lord speak
to ME out of de stiffness and he
say Sarah pack up your tings
and go to Chicago but l say,
oh no Lord, want to go back

Attention
Farmers--~---.

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months In
the year consuming what you
raise during the other six
monthsr
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round. If you are stock raiser
you know your stock are now
"eating their heads off" and,
besides, have to be protected
from the rigors of winter by
expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding re-
quires the combination of both
fesh-forming and fat-forming
foods in certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce
In abundance the velvet bean
and cassava, the first a flesh
producer, and the latter a fat
producer, and they are the
cheapest and best fattening ma
terials known to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general farm
ing, fruit and berry growing
and truck gardening along our
road in the South than in any
other section of the Union.

sire further information on the

ideas yet the argument was
mainly founded on the fact that
the institution of slavery was
wrong but that it tended to de-
morize the public mind and also
to put the southern people in the
attitude of dependence on the
north and consequently take
away the power that the south
cru states then held. So far did
the author go as to declare that
1--WE will abolish slavery peace
ably if we can, but by war if we
must" and he urged that the de-
lay be not long. This of course
stirred up hornets nest among
the farmers and planters of the
south especially when they saw
that a number of Congressman
and Senators endorsed most of
the sentiments therein contained.
1t was about this time or soon
after that one of the southern
Congressman attacked "old
rough and ready" Ben Wade of
Ohio, and declared that "if the
north did not stop the agitation
of slavery they (the SOUTH
would dissolve the Union" Old
Ben straighted himself up to
about e feet 3 inches and bring
ing his fist down on the desk ex-
claimed with an oath, "don't put
it off a moment on our account"
While all this was going on the
slaves were escaping by the
dozens or by the hundreds while
the number of their friends were
increasing and their deterinina-
tons were more firmly fixed. l
have no apology for this writing
except that / wish to convey as
we'll as l can the situation of
things at that time and give, if
possible the underlying cause for
the way the things were done
both at that time and later on.
There may be many now who
might be misled in their ideas of
the way the intense feeling that
was exhibited by the abolitionists
or they might misconstrue their
intent and adjudge them fanatical.
To all who had been trained to
the thought that all men were
created of one blood and who be-
lieved the Negro was as much
the work Of the Divine hand as
the white man there offered no
inconsistency in helping to pro-
cure their liberty, especially if
they gave heed to that immortal
document the declaration of
independence "All men are born
free and equal"

A Long Journey on Bicycles.

Mr.. and Mrs G. H. Kistner of Elk
hart, Ind, who were visiting in this
city yesterday, have earned quite a
reputation as long distance bicycle
riders. having covered on their wheels
the entire distance between Elkhart
and Almedia. Columbia county. in a
period of two weeks.
The couple started on their journey.
June 9th last, and made the trip in
easy stages, enroute passing through
one hundred and two towns. The
journey across Ohio took in the towns
of Ada. Mansfield, Shreve, Wooster
and Alliance. In the eastern part of
Pennsylvania the route lay through
Mifflinburg, Vicksburg, Lewisburg,
Montandon. Uhillisquaque, Northumber
land and Danville, the cyclers run
ming into Almedia on June 2lst.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kistner rode single
wheels. They were held up on their
journey three days by rain. Only on
one occasion did they ride at night
and that was between Bellefonte and
Center Hall. during moonlight.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kistner were visiting
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Eek, Walnut
street. and Joseph Fedder. Montour
Row. Mrs. Kistner is the daughter Of
Mrs Harriet Fedder, Bloomsbury

Lamp Exploding Causes.

The explosion of lamp at the resi-.
dence of George Lovett, Lower Null
berry street. about 8 O'Clock last even
ing, came within an ace OF causing a
very bad fire.
A lamp burning low had been left
upon bureau in front room up
stairs, while the family had temper
arily withdrawn from the house and
were seated outside.
About 8 O'Clock the alarm of fire was
raised on the street and the family
were surprised to find the blaze locat-
ed in their own house.
The lamp had exploded, the bureau
had ignited and was burning rapidly.

Several buckets of water extinguish-
ed tile fire, but not until an alarm had
been sent in to the fire department. An
other order quickly followed explain
ing that the fire was extinguished so
that the companies did not turn out.
The incident caused great excitement
about the street. The loss is not heavy.

A DERAILMENT
ON P. q R. SWITCH

Four cars on the P. & r. switch
north of the Borough were derailed
under singular circumstances yester-
day afternoon.
The cars standing upon the siding.
it seems, began to move of their own
accord and ran down over the cinder
tip toward the Reading Iron Works.
Several boys standing near by took in
the situation and believing that they
could stop the cars jumped OH board
and began to apply the brakes.
The cars had gained considerable
momentum and were not easily brought
under control Before they could be
stopped just after crossing the arch
over Mahoning creek the boys discov-
cred that the switch just ahead of
them was open and that the cars
would be sure to leave the track.
In the single moment which inter-
vened the boys jumped and escaped in
jury, while three OF the cars including
the ones they were on jumped the
track
The damage wrought was not heavy
although the mix-up assumed consid-
erable proportions. 1t was with some
difficulty that the cars were gotten
back upon the track, but it was accom-
plished during the afternoon.

Living at Hunters Park,

The dwellers at Hunters Park are
enjoying themselves immensely this
delightful summer weather. There is
not a period of the day that does not
possess an especial charm from the
earliest dawn when the robins and
other birds make the grove musical to
the hour of sunset when the woods be-
come golden and twilight follows
with it's restful and meditative cain.
OF the campers there it is doubtful
whether any would exchange their
places with those sojourning at the
more expensive resorts on the ocean.
Among those at present living at the
Park are: Burgess W. G.. Pursel and
family, Robert Pursel and family,
Druggist o. M. Leniger and family,
Charles q. Cloud and family, II. G..
Salmon and family, A. O. Amesbury

Lowering the Mill Street Pavement.

The next thing to be done in the line
of municipal improvement will be
the lowering of the sidewalks directly
north and south of the new culvert on
Mill street to conform with the estab-
lished grade.
D. ]. Rogers has taken the contract
to lower the pavements on the east
side Of Mill street in front of the bust
ness places occupied by Kinn's tobac-
co store, Butterwick's jewelry store.
Miss Waters millinery, and Bernheim-
ers clothing store.
Mr.. Rogers contract also includes
the placing of the curb at those places
in the position it will have to occupy
when the street is paved.
On Friday night Council will take
action relating to the lowering of the
pavement in front of City Hall while
property owners on the South side of
the oulvert will take up the matter
without delay to the end that the
pavements may all be lowered to con-
form with the established grade on
which the culvert is constructed.

Successful Farmers.

Fellow farmer, says a Grange writ
er, perhaps to claim your attention
even for moment this hot and husy
season 10 asking too much. Yet l will
venture to ask, do you think perfeo-
tion has been reached along all lines
of the farmers interests or do you
feel that there is still room for furth-
er progress? You live in an ideal COM
munity. indeed,if you find your social
status and your educational facilities
all that can be desired.if your income
is your full measure Of the works
wealth that you produce and your ex-
penses only a fair compensation for
what you use of other mems labor, if
your taxes are only your just share of
the burdens of government and you
receive due recognition in the polit-
ioal world. II these things are not all
they ought to be. does not duty call
upon you to do what you can to help
to make them right? That man is liv-
ing in low plain indeed who does
not feel desire to leave his portion
OF the world, however small it may
be, better than he found it. In most
of the lines indicated your efforts as
an individual will count for little If
they count at all. Associated with
your fellows you may do much. A
live Grange has done more to educate
aud elevate the farmers of the neigh
borhood in which it is located than
many times the same number of farm
ers who may long for better things but
who stand sloof from their fellows.

The frequent showers, while very
beneficial in their way, are causing
great deal of worry to the farmers, who
are now in the midst of haymaking.
With rain every day it is impossible
to get field of hay dry and the result
is that what happens to be cut is
pretty sure to spoil. Many farmers
either postpone haymaking altogether.
or they cut down only small patches
at a time. In either event hsymaking
is much delayed.
The beneficial effects of the moist
weather is seen in the refreshed and
thriving vegetation. Corn, pota toes
and other late crops are especially
benefited and are growing rapidly.
Low water on the river attending the
drought lately prevailing has given
place to a much better current so that
the ferry makes tolerably good time
in passing backwards and forwards.
while the launches are able to avoid
the rocks without much difficulty.

Spanish-American War Veterans.

The survivors of the Spanish Ameri-
can war held a meeting in the armo-y
last night for the purpose of taking
action with a view to organization.
About 90 were present. W. Dosh Hol.
loway was made Chairman and J.
Beaver Gearhart, Secretary.
Since calling the meeting the fact
has been discovered that the local
camp, organized couple of years ago,
is still in good standing. No attempt
at reorganization, therefore, was ride.
The meeting adjourned to re Jnvene
on Wednesday evening of next week.
Considerable enthusiasm was mani
tested at tho meeting and it is not un-
likely that there will he larger turn
out next week and that the camp will
soon be in fourishing condition.

Lineman's Bad Fall.

George Fenton. Of Sunbury. employ.
ed IS lineman by the Sunbury and
Northumberland Electric Railway
Company. had narrow escape from q
horrible death shortly before nine
O'Clock "Wednesday morning, when he
fell from a pole, distance of twenty.
five feet, due to coming in contact
with live wire.
At the time Of the accident Fen:on
was changing q wire on the large pole
located on Market Square, Sunbury, at
the overhead crossing and in some
manner he received an electric shock
and wss hurled to the street paving
below. Several parties who witnessed
the accident hurried to his assistance
and he was taken to DR.. Stoner's
Office. MoKinney's hack was then
hurriedly Summoned and the injured
lineman was taken to his home on
South Front street, where an examina.
tion of his injuries showed that he
had suffered dislocation of the left
shoulder, . fracture Of the right fore
arm and burns and bruises about the
body. Although his injuries are very
painful Fenton is very lucky that he
escaped death or that his injuries are
not Of more serious nature when
taking into consideration the distance
he fell to the hard pavement.

RESURRECTION
NEAR SHAMOKIN

The Shamokin coal region furnishes
many startling items Of news but the
strangest tale OF wonder that 1t has re.
Gently produced was the resurrection
of a man whose body had been prepar.
ed for burial by the undertaken.
1t appears that the Polanders Of the
region have a great time at their
ohristenings. at which large quantities
of beer are INDUCED in, and when
something stronger is wanted diluted
alcohol is substituted. On one Of these
occasions that occurred within the
past week, a Springfield Polishman
named John Faux swallowed q guam

stupor resembling death. Those pres

supposed dead man was placed In an
ice boz and the lid was slipped on top.
Suddenly there came strange raps from
the interior of the box and upon the
lid being taken off Faux opened his
eyes and leaped out of the freezin

This strange happening is said to
have occurred several days ago and al
ready preparations were being made
for the funeral when the strange
noises were heard in the ice box and
the mourners all fed.

Regarded as Trespassers.

The following notices have been con-
spicuously posted at each end of the
South Danville station:
Persons having no connection with
the company nor business with it's
agents lettering in or about the build
ing or platform will be considered as
trespassers and dealt with according
to law. By order of
l.. W. ALLIBONE, Sup't. I"
The effect of this notice it is believ-
ed will be to break up several practices
thoughtiessly INDUCED in about the
station which have proven a great
nuisance. The only safe plan for per-
sons to follow henceforth will be to
remain from the station unless they
have business there.
