Secures Pardon.

Madrid, May 2S.-The first notable
act of Princess Ena of Battenberg since
her arrival in Spain to become the
bride of King Alfonso Kill, has been
to induce the king to pardon Fernando
Levera, who was condemned to death
after an exciting trial.
The dramatic circumstances under
which pardon was given, as the con
demned man was going to the gallows,
attracts widespread attention and fur
ther augments the popularity of Prin-
cess Ena.
Call Cabinet Council.
Levera was to nave been executed
in the neighbOring town of Badajose,
but the population solicited Princess
Ena's intercession and she spoke TO
the king, who consulted with his min
listers, and, after a cabinet council, the
government resolved TO grant the re-
quest as it was the first petition the
princess had made in Spain. There
upon the king issued a pardon, and
telegram announcing this fact reached
the prison at Badajose half an hour
before the time set for the execution.
The march to the scaffold was about
to begin when a messenger brought
word of the pardon.

THE BOY WITH AN APPETITE

A little boy had an ailment chronic;
The Doctor said: ''He must have a tonic
To waken an appetite.
And then, I am sure, when he is able
To do his share of work at the table
His ailment will vanish quitel'
And SO this boy with the ailment chronic
wry face made, but swallowed the tonic,
And got such an appetite
His good old Nurse raised her hands in wond
And cried, t.The doctor has made blunder,
And spoiled my baby quite!V
For what do you think chat urchin told her!
(The tonic, you see, had made him bolder)

And we only just begun.

POINSETT PARTY BOLT.
Split in Primaries Promised as Result of Alleged Unfairness in Con-
 yenti0n.

] Harrisburg, Feb. 21.-The Democratic central committee of Poinsett county met pursuant to the call of Chairman, Dr. J. C. Davis. Tension has been very high in political circles here for the past two years on account ot the action of that part of the committee that catered to the Davis side of the question,
 The membership of the com mittee is divided, the conserVa- tive wing sometimes called the anti-Davis wing, has all along contended for and tried to secu e a fair deal for all factions and everybody concerned. When the committee met yesterday 1t was found that the Davis wing was a little short.
 But in order to secure control tl7e committee On credentials un- seated sufficient number of the conservatives to give 1t control.
 This precipitated a spirited discussion, and the conservatives fought every inch of the ground trying to secure a fair deal in the interest of honest elections. Finally c. I. Garvey leader of the conservatives, submitted a list containing sixteen names of men, who were absolutely above reproach, men whom any person or party could trust, and asked that any three of these men be se- lected to appoint the judges and clerks to hold the primary. This was fatly refused. Then the conservatives walked out and were followed by about 800 far mers and others to the hall of the court house, where rousing mass meeting was held.
 A resolution was adopted unanimously calling on each township in the county to hold mass meetings on Saturday, Feb ruary 2l, for the purpose of of selecting delegates and com mitteemen to meet in a county convention at Harrisburg on February 28, for the purpose of calling legalized primary cleo tion for all officers to be voted upon. This means that two prl- maries will be held in this coun- ty. The farmers and common people have grown tired of be- ing controlled by the ring" and a little coterie of political trick sters. The outcome in this coun- ty will be watched with much in- terest by those who are inter- ested in honest elections.

tI A report from Austin thls a state. tells of a determination on { the part of the Iron Mountain tc X stralghten it's track through that ssection. It will be remembered that the Iron Mountain track does not run straight near there, dSlbut veers off considerably, and cshat the present town is not on LIbhe original site.

 Old Austin believed that the road was then near enough and
 that they should make no special i. effort to get it. Therefore the road did not pass that town, and ,. the New A k4, Ward and sev- eral other fall places grew up on the lixhSf the track Ii, con- sequenz3 The result has bet.se

 that the Austin curve is not the

 attention of the management. It

said:
That church is economical which uses all its
means employs all its people, enlsts all its
powers fills all its rooms. works all its
properties To the best advantage OF the COM
munity. Let me illustrate. We have been an
economical church in the last i've years in the
organization of our Sunday school, which has
met in successive sessions, using our limited
quarters twice and employing our best teachers
In double service employing also our older
scholars at one session in teaching and at the
next one in learning the lesson they are 10

Il Handsome Ne5c Edifce Costing

The Arlington Avenue Presbyterian Church
holds services for the first time to-day in it's
new building at Arlington-ave. and Elton-st
The old structure stands directly at the rear
of the new one. down the block on Arlington
ave. The opening of the new church comes
a celebration of the seventh anniversary of
the Rev. Warren II. Wilson'S pastorate, which
falls tomorrow
One of the features of the new edifce of
which the congregation is particularly proud
is the organ. The instrument cost So 600 and
Andrew Carnegie made it's purchase possible
through the donation Of 81 500 The rest of the
$1,000 was raised by the young people of the
church The whole property, including the
ground and the old and new edifices is now
valued at $4,000 The cost of building the
new home was 100000 There Is still a mort
gage of $1,000 to pay off but Mr.. Wilson
promises TO see this raised shortly.
The opening of the williamsburg Bridge IS
one Of the two powerful factors In the growth
or this church organization The character Of
the pastor is the other. The growth has in
1act' exceeded the development of the neigh
Dorhood proporuonately. Seven wears ago tho
ola building with its 200 sittings had
20 members The new building. with 700 sit
tngs, has $40 members to start with In tho
last half dozen years the value of the propertv

per cent and the amount of the contributions

of the congregation to charitable work has in
creased similarly
This church is one of the few in the city
which has permanently adopted the part time
system in its Sunday school. In the school it
has 1000 pupils and only room for 500 AS a
result. the children must be received in relays.
One-half the school will attend at one hour
Sunday afternoons and the other half will come
an hour later when the first relay is through
with its instruction.
Mr.. Wilson has made a special effort to get
the young and women Interested in the
church work. He represents the new spirit of
the age in several ways. He is a young man
himself and preached his first sermon in the
old building seven years ago. He had the
old structure opened every day in the week as
a resort for his young people. and he will con-
tinue the custom with the church. He
says that the building has cost too much money
to stand idle six days in a week. He was the
