Don't Want Rookefeller's Money.
Church Loves God More Than Mammon
Said Or. GLADDEN..

Rev. DR.. Washington GLADDEN.,
pastor of the First Congregational
church of Columbus and moderator
of the general council of Congrega-
tional church of the United States,
in sermon delivered on Sunday
discussed the gift of SIoo, 900 made
by prominent capitalist to the
American Board Of Missions. He
said in part:
We do not want this man S
money. To accept it will be to
work the contempt Of millions OF
honest men to reject it will
strengthen our churches in the
affection and respect of millions
who are inclined to doubt whether
the churches love God more than
Mammon.
Our missions will be richer and
stronger without it than with it,
and we shall lose nothing by our
loyalty to the things unseen and
eternal"

THE FACTORY GIRL.

The scene is the interior of big
factory in full operation. There
are hundreds of wheels and whiz-
zing maze of belts; IL electric
switchboard, a dynamo and a great
drive wheel A great steel plunger,
weighing over two thousand pounds,
rises and falls with clock-like regu-
larity. All is hurry and hustle till
the big factory whistle announces
time to shut down" The engi-
neer stops the machinery and the
hands go home. The doors are
locked and all is quiet. The viii
lain, whose dastardly work is
about to begin, is interrupted by
his father while engaged in search
ing for certain papers with which
he intends to ruin his father and
brother. Ii the struggle which
ensues he forces the father bodily
against the deadly electric switch
board. There is flash, a moan,
and the father falls dead upon the
floor. The brother enters at this
moment, and is stunned by blow
from an accomplice who, at the
direction of the arch scoundrel, sets
the gigantic plunger in motion. In
an attempt to cover the murder of
his father, he plans death far
more terrible for his brother, whom
he throws senseless upon the carfi-
age of the great steel hammer, and
then makes his escape. Nearer
and nearer stealthily glides the car
rier with its human freight; up and
down goes the plunger with terrific
force. A horrible death awaits him
under this ton of steel. The true
hearted little factory girl has come
to hunt for her sweetheart. She is
in the ante room, separated from
the engine room by solid glass
partition. The heavy oaken door
is locked. Upward glides the plum
ger and down it comes-bang. She
sees her lover on the carriage! One
moment moreno! No! 1t must
not be. With one grand effort she
hurls a chair through the wall of
glass and IN moment she is by his
side. The hammer is suspended
above his head. He is saved. The
brave little heroine falls weeping
by his side.

During the latter part of the

list OF true blue Democrats TO ask

DEATH IN COLLISION,
Sad Fate Of Thomas Berninger Of Catawissa
on Saturday Morning

A collision occurred at Krebs p.
& r. Railway, Saturday morning,
as the result of which one life was
lost and another narrowly escaped
death
The collision took place between
two freig ht trains, one crashing into
the rear of the other. Thomas
Berninger, of Catawissa, who was
in the caboose eating his lunch at
the moment of the collision, was
instantly killed. Edward Fisher,
another trainman, escaped with
slight injuries. Berninger was 23
years of age and leaves a wife and
two children.
The accident, it is said, was
caused by the engineer of the rear
locomotive failing to see the warn
ing signal of the brakeman.

Where is Your Boy2

Some crank got off the following
but there is SO much truth in it and
so much to cause parents to stop
and consider, that it is reproduced
here, hoping that some parent may
take "due notice " and govern him
self accordingly:
Twenty years hence the boys
of today will be men. They will be
doctors and drunkards, lawyers and
liars, senators and sneakthieves,
editors and idiots, ministers and
murderers, democrats and republi-
cans, and so on down the line. 1t is
impossible to tell for a certainty in
just what class yours will be, but
it is possible for your boy to be put
into such influence as will steer him
in the right direction. Follow the
boys for twelve years, some ofthem
will be in Jail. What class is your
boy training for2
This brings to mind the sweet
song, Where is your boy to-
night ?" You had better look him
up if you don't know. He may be
one of the few who will go astray
and who, twenty years hence, may
serve a sentence in the penitentiary,
or it may be suffer the penalty Of
death on the gallows Where was
your boy last night when you re-
tired?

Oil Find Excites Farmers.
SchuyIkilI Countians Organize Company to
Prospect tor Gas and Petroleum.

Farmers in the vicinity of Mantz,
south of Tamaqua, are in state of
excitement over the stories that
both oil and gas have been found
in the vicinity by prospectors and
that syndicate composed of New
York capitalists is making prepare
tions to buy up score of farms.
A company has been organized
by the farmers and work on drilling
a well 1000 feet deep has been COM
menced.
Experts say that if oil is found
in the vicinity of Mantz, which lies
in the shadow of the Blue Noun
tain range, there is every reason to
believe that eventually Eastern
Pennsylvania will produce as much
oil as Western Pennsylvania.

Preached Farewell Sermon in Church
Yard.


Rev. ] M. Hunter, pastor OF the
Colerain Baptist Church, Lancaster,
on Sunday afternoon preached his
farewell sermon in the church yard
because he had been locked out of
the church by his congregation.
His troubles started last summer
in connection with a children's day
service, when he objected to the
use of cross at the exercises. The
Entertainment Committee declared
there would be no service unless
the cross was used, and they had
their way, but the pastor was not
at the service. Some of the con.
gregation held to him and a split
resulted. A few weeks later, at a
congregational meeting, Rev. Mr..
Hunters resignation was request
ed, but he refused, and also refused
to vacate the parsonage, though
since then the church doors had
been locked against him. Regular
ly each Sabbath he mas slipped
under the church door text for a
sermon and cent, his contribution.
He offered to resign if his salary
was paid to the end of the term,
but this was refused, and he will
now bring suit for it His term
ended on Sunday, and, in accord
ance with a formal announcement,
he preached in the church yard in
the presence of a large assembly.
