A Schurz Story Of Lincoln.

In the May McClure's install
ment of "Reminiscences of
Long Life" by Carl Schurz, ap
pears an important historical
chapter of the Union Army and
It's leaders In 1862. This portion
of the statesman authors s writing
takes up his activity subsequent
to his resignation as Minister to
Spain and tells of his appoint
ment as Brigadler General and
his service IN the field. He tells
US how the great leaders McClel
Ian, fremont, Sigel, Burnside
and Hooker impressed HIM, and
gives first hand description of
their difficulties and the great
army problems.
AS usual there Is much new
light on Lincoln and great deal
of this is of prime Importance as
it shows clearly the consldera
tions tina; lead up to such mo
mentous steps as the issuing of
the Emancipation Proclamation.
Schurz also narrates several droll
anecdotes of great men, one of
which, Lincoln story, we quote
One of the many foreigners
who sought my intercession was
young German count whose
identity was vouched for by a
member of the Prussian Lega-
tion. He had a long row of an
cestors whom he traced back for
several hundred years. He was
greatly impressed with the i'm.
portance of this fact and thought
it would weigh heavily in secur-
Ing HIM position IN our army.
If he could only have an "audl
ence" with the President and lay
his case before HIM, he believed
the result could not be doubtful.
He pursued me so arduously with
the request for personal INTRO.
duction to Mr.. Lincoln, that at
last succumbed and promised
to introduce him it the President
permitted. The President did
permit. The Count spoke Eng
lish moderately well, and In his
ingenious way he at once ex.
planned to Mr.. Lincoln how high
the nobility of his family was,
and that they had been counts so
and-so many centuries. "Well,
SAID Mr.. Lincoln, interruptIng
him, "that need not trouble you.
That will not be in your way, if
you behave yourself as soldier. "
The poor Count looked puzzled,
and when the audience was over,
he asked me what IN the world
the President could have meant
by so strange a remark.

church on the corner of 18th Ave-
nue. and 18th street, is built Of
Hummelstown brownstone. The
auditorium seats l,500 persons.
Directly In the corner of the
room is the organ, costing $4,000,
the gift of Andrew Carnegie. In
the center of this room is the
dome, receiving light through
dellcatelv tinted glass from the
tower that extends Heavenward
to height Of 115 feet from the
audience room floor. The church
is Of Gothic architecture and de-
signed by Brown, Gillespie, &
Co., of New York. The largest
art window is ON the 18th street
side, and is reproduction of
Planckhurst's "Christ Blessing
Little Children" and, also, a
study of the Good Shepherd.
This window is the gift of William
Lee Woodcock, Esq in memory

tral Pennsylvania.
The greater part of the money
had been raised before the dedi-
cation, but $4,000 remained to
be pledged before the church
could be dedicated to the worship
of Almighty God. The amount
was raised without trouble and
two thousand dollars In excess
making $4,000 raised during
the day.
DR.. III. j Cornman on behalf of
the building mittee, present
ed the keys to the trustees and
IN DONG so made mention of the
fact that the liberal giving of one
man had made the building of
the magnificent edlhce possible
and that the same gentleman had
also given much legal advice and
written all the contracts in addi-
tion to his money contributions.
This man was w. Lee Woodcock,
a native of Wells Valley Rev.
B. @. Conner, the presiding Ell
der, and Rev. Horace H. Jacobs,
the psstor, also rendered valu-
able services.

The Same Old Disgrace.

The old Methodist Cemetery has re-
lapsed into the same wilderness of
weeds, briars and underground, which
has been q distinguishing mark for the
past twenty years, or up to a few years
back, when the Chronicle called the
attention to this particular cemetery.
It is a shame some Of the oldest
families Of Milford will permit this
cemetery, where their forebesrers rest,
to remain in such unsightby condition.
1t speaks in the surest tones, that they
have no public spirit, and that they
only bury there because it saves them
buying a lot in a cemetery where the
graves are kept in proper condition,
and the ground cared for. 1t is a fact,
but it is disgrace to them just the same.
A few years ago Mrs. Torbert feft an an
nual legacy Of twenty dollars to help
keep this particular cemetery in order,
but this has not been supplemented by
others of recent years ; hence the dis
graceful condition. We respectfully
suggest to the ladies and some Of the
wealthy men of Milford, that they
might leave just emo Ugh Of their wealth
this side of the grave to provide for
keeping this particular cemetery in
order. Two hundred dollars each year
will do the work.

A Twentieth Century Exhibition.

Lyman H. Howe is beyond dispute,
the most famous exhibitor Of moving
pictures in the world to day. For many
wears his exhibitions have been an UNI
failing source Of pleasure and profit to
many thousands throughout the entire
United States. The secret of his success
is no mystery, Added to his rare faculty
Of selecting only pictures Of absorbing
interest, is his unusual ability for re.
producing them so vividly and graph
ieally that his exhibition ls not APP
preached by any other in this county
or abroad. He reproduces every scene
and event with every detail exactly as
it is or happened, so that you virtually
see and even hear it yourself. The new
program to be shown in ArmOry Hall,
Friday and Saturday evenings, Sep.
TENDER 18th and 18th, comprises just
those living, vital things in which we
are all most interested at this moment.
At a trifiing cost you may see that
which cost Mr.. Howe many years Of
experience; Of travel Of the most ex-
pensive kind over land and sea Of I'M
told difficulties. All is reproduced so
well that the Illusion of real travel is
created to perfection. Every picture
rivets the attention from the start, and
by its interest grips the spectator with
a realism that leaves nothing to be de-
sired. The program combines amuse-
ment, instruction, humor and history
in a way that only specialist with
that wide and sure knowledge, born
only Of experience, could vouchsafe the
puplic. 1t is the easiest and cheapest
way to enjoy the same pleasure and
derive the same knowledge that comes
to the traveller only after mourning
great expense.

Letter TO Prof. Hoover,
Milford. Del.

Dear Sir: We should like to set your
boys and girls at work on this question
in arithmetic and casuistry.
A farmer is fatting three hogs in three
small pens they have equal room and
straw and care, and are fed in these
three ways first hog, on a certain pro.
portion Of milk and cooked cornmeal
second hog, on the same, half water
third hog, on the same, half water and
sawdust. How long will it take. how
much will they weigh, how much will
they cost, and whst'll the profit be on
the three?
And a similar question in pigmentTy.
That same farmer is going to paint
three barns same size and he says to
three painters: "what'n you take to
paint that barn ?"
First painter scratches his head few
minutes and says; "I'll do it for $50. "
Second painter 1915"
Third painter 1897 As"
Will they each get a barn to paint,
or one get two, or one all three, or no,
body any and what'll they make on
the job?
That's about how painting goes some
times.
But there is way to reckon S. a
gallon. The difficulty is in knowing
how many gallons to buy. There's a
way out Of that.
Buy the least-gallOns paint, DevOe.
No matter how much one buys he re.
turns what's left costs nothing.
Yours truly,
