The Aliens Act

Silvia left London for Hamburg with a
party of foreigners whom the commits
sioners administering the aliens act re-
fused to admit to England. They ar
rived in the Thames early in the week,
were marked, with four others, as unde-
sirables by the authorities at Gravesend,
and the captain of the vessel was made
responsible for their safe keeping until
the court at Blackwell decided the ques-
ton as to whether or not they were
proper persons to live in England.
The court, after inquiry, decided to de-
port four and release four. Practically
these men had been on board the Silvia
under lock and key for five weary days
simply because the port of London has
not considered it necessary to provide
shed and receiving house. Three of the
deported aliens had the necessary money
to land, but were rejected for reasons
only known to the commissioners. One
of the men on the Silvia was Russian
deserter, who declared that to escape i'm
prisOnment in a Russian fortress (the
German authorities would conduct him
to the frontier and hand him over to the
Russian police) and possibly torture
and death, he would prefer to jump
overheard. A pathetic story was told OF
girl of sixteen, the only daughter of
poor Russian peasants, who had been
brutally whipped by cossacks. To save
their child from the fury Of unlicensed
passion, they hid her, and, having sold
everything of value which they pos
sessed, they provided her with means
of travelling to England. She arrived at
the beginning of last week, but was not
allowed tc land, as she was too young
and had no friends there. She has,
however, been sent to Canada, where her
future will be watched.
Among thirty-two immigrants who ar
rived at Grimsby last Friday was Rus
sian Jew, who stated that until recently
he was wealthy merchant in Courland.
He kept aloof from the political agita-
tion, but his religious belief incurred the
displeasure of the military, who attacked
and burnt to the ground his buildings
and home. He escaped, and leaving his
estates in the hands of friend reached
England with his wife and five children.
He desired to go to Dublin, to begin life
again. He was allowed to proceed to his
destination.
Three Russian Poles were summoned
at the Thames police court on Tuesday,
under the aliens act, for being found
wandering within three months of land
ing in this country without any visible
means Of subsistence. The magistrate
said he would certify under the act, and
it would be for the secretary of state to

Society of America, Philadelphia, will
issue a biography Of Rashi, the great
Jewish commentator on the Bible and
the Talmud the eight-hundredth ami
versary Of whose death was commemor-
ated in the summer Of 1905. The open
ing chapter deals with the Jews of
France in the Eleventh century, and the
concluding chapters, in which Rashi 3
influence is discussed, sketch the devel
opment of Talmud and Bible studies
among Jews down to the present time.
Besides giving the data Of the life OF
Rashi, the book describes his works in
detail, and presents specimens OF his
method of explaining the ancient litera-
ture of the Jews. The book, especially
prepared for the society, was written by
M. Maurice Liber of Paris. The French
manuscript has been translated into
English by Miss Adele Sold.

BOTH LEGS CUT OFF.
james W Craig, Formerly of Big Cove
Tannery, Meets Terrible Accident While
Walking on Railroad Tracks.
is NOW IN HOSPITALAT KEYsER VIVA.

The many friends here of
James w. Craig, formerly aschool
teacher in this county, and son of
the late a. j. Craig, Esq, of Big
Cove Tannery, were startled last
week to learn that Mr.. Craig had
met with an accident, which, If it
does not cost HIM mis- life, will
render him cripple the remain
der of his days.
During the past few years, Mr..
Craig has lived atPectonville, Md,
and while the Wabash railroad
was being built through that
nelghborhood, Mr.. Craig was en-
gagged in the butchering business
furnishing fresh meat to the con-
tractors for their men.
More recently, he removed his
family to FIT. Frederick, Md, and
secured employment with the
Pennsylvania Steel Company, at
Dawson, Md, where he had been
working for some tune.
Returning to his work al Daw-
son on Sunday evening, 21st inst,
he had a short distance to walk
on the tracks of the Baltimore q
Ohio railroad. Hearing a train
coming on the track on which he
was walking, he stepped to the
other track, only to be struck by
another approaching in the oppo.
site direction. Mr.. Craig was so
thrown as to have both legs cut
off just below the knees. The un-
fortunate man was at once remov-
ed to a hospital at Keyser, W. Va,
where, at last report, he was do
ing as well as &C uld be expected,
and hopes are entertained for his
recovery.

RULES OUT THE NEW ROAD LAW.
Judge Bouton OF Mexican County Says
II is Unconstitutional.


In the Mexican county court
last week Judge Bouton handed
down an opinion in which he held
that the new road law which pro.
vldes that the system of taxation
may be changed from work tax
to cash tax, is unconstitutional.
His reason is that it offends
agalnat Article III, Section z, of
the Constitution, which forolds
special Legislation. This act is
special, he holds, in that it makes
possible system OF taxation that
is not uniform. Again, the sys-
tenn may be changed by the vote
of the people IN township, which
is a delegation of the making
power to the voters, offending
against Article Ill, Section 1, of
the Constitution.
Besides this, Judge Bouton
says, the Legislature cannot, ex,
cept by direct Legislation, pre-
vent the taxpayers from working
out their tax, privilege given
them by the acts of 1884 and 1855.
The decision is certainly inter-
esting. fit holds it would seem
to be broad enough to cover the
question of local option. under
which the people IN one place
might by their votes make a no.
license law, while a license law
prevailed in other places. 1t is
altogether likely that the opinion
of higher court Will be wanted
on the matter.

SURPRISE AT THE PARSONAGE.
Rev. and Mrs. S. B. Houston Have an i'm.
promptu Wedding Anniversary.

AT the Associate Presbyterian
parsonage, four miles south of
McConnellsburg, at about seven
o'clock in the evening of the Goth,
the quiet of the family was sud
denly very pleasantly disturbed.
The first indication that some
thing out of the ordinary was
about to happen was the appear
ance of several lights at and near
the front gate. A member of the
family listening moment heard
familiar voices. Ihis beng an
nounced the family in the parson-
age was Immediately put IN com
motion, for 1t was evident that
something unusual was about to
transpire. Only few moments
elapsed until there was a rap at
the door, and on being opened we
were confronted by familiar faces
of the congregation. They began
fling in, some carrying baskets,
and others boxes, until at last be-
tween thirty and forty were pres
ent, filling up very much of the
available space of the home. Ev-
cry one wore the blandest smile
and gave the parson and his wife
and sons hearty handshake. 1t
was utterly useless to think Of
undertaking to entertain such
company, when we had not so
much as an mixing of their COM
ing, and the way they made them
selves at home in all parts of the
house it was quite manifest that
they meant not only to entertain
themselves but the parsons fam
lily as well.
AT an opportune time, and by
no signal that we were able to dis
cover, when the minister and his
good wife were standing together
Miss Ella r. Johnston IN the name
OF the congregation put into our
hands a gift as token oftheir love
and appreciation. The gift was
of gold and silver coin. Tins
gratefully called Tor
some word of appreclatlve re-
sponse. The parson was so ov-
erwhelmed with surprise and
sense of the generosity of the
people that words almost failed
him-indeed they did utterly fail
to express our warm apprecia-
tion of the kindly Christian spirit
that prompted the gift, and
which so wildly reminded us of
the festivities of a score of years
ago when the congregation gave
us o reception on our home CON-
ing from Allegheny City where
the marriage ceremony had been
solemnlzed. Only FIVE or six were
present that were in atte adance
two decades ago.
After dainty refreshments were
llberally served by loving hands
and a feast of instrumental and
vocal music, the happy company
departed leaving their kindest
wishes for many happy return

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
The Dwelling Of John W. Snyder Near
KnobsvilIe, Went up in Smoke Last
Thursday Afternoon. His
BARN BURNED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO

Among those who seem to have
more than their share of bad luck
is JOHN w. Snyder. About two
years ago, he lost a good barn by
fire. Some time thereafter he
purchased John V. Giant farm
about mile and a half west of
knobsville, and moved ON to IL.
He was just recovering from his
former loss, when another over.
took him. While Mr., Snyder was
absent from home last Thursday
afternoon. Nathan Bishop, Jr.,
who lives IN the home of Mr.. Sny-
der, while at the barn, noticed
the roof of the house in flames.
He at once gave an alarm, and ev-
erything was done to save the
house, but tho family were help
less TO save the house, and did
what they could to save the con-
tents, much Of which, however,
was destroyed.
Mr.. Snyder is deserving the
substantial sympathy of his neigh
bors and friends IN his m,sfor-
tune.

Christian workers and natives
Christians Is most encouraging.
The same spirit that has been
moving Wales, is beginning a
work in India, which you could
scarce y believe, If [ were to tell
you of some of the astounding
facts which are known to us. Not
only Christian workers have been
quickened and ended with new
power, but thousands of heather
have been brought to confess and
accept Jesus Christ the past six
months. This is but small be.
ginning of what is going to hap
pen during the year 1906. 1t is
glorious to be in India these days |.
1t is a generally accepted fact
that the great wall of heathenism
and the millions who have not ev-
en- been touched yet in this coun.
try. are an lmpossibility so far as
human means are concerned; but
God seems to he taking matters
into his own hands, and the signs
of the times are not hard to dis
Germ. Modern Pentecosts are
frequent in different sections, and
the chief theme of nearly every
religious gathering, as we'll as
that Of private conversations Is,
"Revival. F" Not man made, or.
ganized or planned. but from
Gods Holy Spirit. There is such
a vast difference between the two.
One of the remarkable features
of the present beginnings of the
Spirits work ia India is the re-
markable way IN which promi-
nent workers are completely and
surely set aside, and the smallest
hum mblest, and most insignificant
ones used as channels through
which the Holy Ghost carries on
the work. Talent and intellect
ooesn T seem to count for much;
indeed, it seems to be quite cut
OF it; even experience and ability
are at discount where only moth
ingness can be used to show that
this is not man power, but God
power. DO not get the impress
sion that everybody in India is
going to be an angel presently,

will be needed. Indeed, no

HERO AND
MURDERER
"Kair-0iI Pete" now a Prison
er at Boise, took Desper-
ate Chances TO Save
Wreck and Life

o. r. & n. passenger engine No, 1874,
which pulls the Spokane passenger
train in and out OF this city daily, boasts
OF one of the most exciting and remark
able histories Of any locomotive on the
entire system and perhaps on the coast
says TIE PendIeton East Oregonian.
Back in the 80, when the Union Pa
cific had the the o. r. & N leased, en-
gine 1874 was numbered 1898 and was
stationed at Kamela as helper, where
she was driven by Pete st. Cyr, or Hair
Oil Pete" as he was more familiarity
known. On this engine Pete made his
wild dash down the Blue mountains in
the spring OF 1889 to prevent a collision
between freight and a passenger train
which had been given lap order.
Engine 1893 was standing in the yard
at Kamela with steam up, when it was
discovered that the lap order had been
given and the two trains were approach
ing each other on the mountain side.
The freight had just left Kamela, going
eastward, the passenger was toiling up
tn mountain from the east, and hor-
rible collision seemed intvitable.
Grasping the situation in an instant,
"Hair-Oil Pete" leaped into the cab of
1893 and dashed out Of the yards to
catch the freight before the crash came
Out of Kamela is 8 per cent grade,
with sharp curves, deep rock cuts
and high mountains, and the daring
feat OF catching this train was extreme
ly perilous, since the curves were sharp
and the train could not be seen any
great distance ahead.
With whistle screaming and the en-
gine rocking ana reeling around the
curves, st. Cyr made five miles in less
tEan four minutes and succeeded in stop
ping the freight train about mile away
from the passenger, neither train being
aware of the mistake until after the
freight had been stopped.
st. Cyr, is now in the Boise peniten-
tiary, where he is serving I0-year sem
tence for killing a man named Emmons
at Meadows, Idaho, two years ago, in 4
difficulty over a team of horses.
His feat stands alone in the annals of
sailrcadiug on the o. r. & n.
