IS A HOG A Pig
OR A PIG A HOG
Weghty Question Over Which Mem
bers of the Upper House of Con-
gress Have Some Differences
In Debate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 12.-Is
hog a pig?
This important question was SOL
EMMY argued out on the floor of the
senate the other day.
Senator Hepburn, of Idaho, who had
been talking about the bacon and ham
tariff, observed.
Mr.. President, it is probably true
that there is no animal SO universally
ing people as the pig The probabili-
ties are that there are more individuals
of the wage learning class owning pigs
than any other stock"
'Mr. President interrupted Sena-
tor Tillman
Does the senator from Idaho yield
to the senator from South Carolina p"
inquired the vice. president
YES" said Hepburn
What is the difference in the SEN
ator's vocabulary between a pig and a
hog?" asked Tillman.
Il rather like the term pig a lit
tie better than hog replied Hepburn,
because the term hog is sometimes
applied to a different class of beings
l like to select the term which like
best"
"a hog is pig grown solemnly
asserverated Bailey, of Texas.
Il have understood that a pig was
a baby hog, a sucking fellow, who
has to squeal for his milk sometimes
when he can not get teat," said Till
man.
Well" resumed Hepburn, 81 think

High Water Driving Rats Out.

NEW WESTMINSTER, B. e., June
1.-THE rising waters of the Fraser
river are driving hundreds of rats
from their usual haunts under the
wharves into the warehouses along the
water front, where the rodents are
doing considerable damage to stored
merchandise. The water is expected to
drop within the next few days unless
heavy rains happen. The river is now

HORSE RUNS IN FRONT OF
TRAIN; DISTANCE SEVEN MILE;
Hurdles Cattle Guards and Niftily Ne
uotiates 60-Foot Bridge.

PORTLAND, June 12.-Passengers
on the outbound Spokane flyer Monday
evening were treated to one Of the
greatest exhibitions of long distance
running that a horse ever exhibited.
A big bay horse about Is hands high
and a most beautiful specimen, ac-
cording to those who saw him, took
fright at the approaching train while
feeding in a pasture alongside the track
about one mile this side of FairyicW
and, starting down the track, ran for
seven miles at almost top speed down
the center of the track in front of the
train
In that seven miles the horse jumped
16 cattle guards and ran at a good
speed across a common railroad bridge
about 60 feet in width without slip.
He was only scared off the track when
the train entered Troutdale and when,
at the call of the whistle of the loco
motive, the station agent there and en-
ployes of a nearby livery stable, cor
nered and caught him with a lariat.
Most remarkabla of the whole thing,
however, was the speed which the
horse kept up in that seven miles. The
only time that the train slowed down
perceptibly was at The bridge just out
side of Troutdale, where it was feared
the horse might slip through the ties
and be caught. iHe skipped across the
ties like the most experienced tie walk
er, however.

HEAVY THTNDERSTORMS

During the past ten days this section
of country has been experiencing ex-

numerous, Saturday evening two very
severe ones passing over this place.
The center of the first gust was to the
south and east of Thurmont. Logs and
Woodsboro vicinties receiving the heav-
lest rain and storm. Rain fell in torrents
and streams were out of bank in short
time. The wind accompanying the rain
knocked down the growing crops, doing
considerable damage.
passed, another came over, the rain and
wind being not so severe, but the thun-
der and lightning much worse than dur
ing the first.
The Business Manager of THE CLAIR
ION, Jas. H. Firor, while sitting on the
porch in front of his home watching the
lightning fall to the ground and pass from
cloud to cloud, was somewhat startled
by flash of lightning falling in cherry
tree about 50 feet distant. The explo-
sion was very sparp. The wires of the
C. & P. Telephone Co. pass through the
top of the tree and in these EIGHT in
number) the electricity entered, several
of them being burned into. A bunch of
sparks of fire fell to the ground. The
tree, so far as can be seen was not in
jured, neither did we receive shock.
Mr.. Curtis Wedde saw the flash enter
the tree and number of persons at Au-
rora Cottage saw the fire fall through
the tree.
During this storm several large locust
trees at Apples church were struck and
demolished. Mr.. Henry Hetterly who
lives nearby was somewhat stunned.
Reports from nearby places are to the
effect that therein was very heavy and
that much damage was done.
A dispatch to the Sunday American

about O'Clock Saturday afternoon,
following sudden and sharp clap of
thunder, cloud of remarkable appear
ance in the sky northwest of Frederick

! cloud was funnel shaped, a long, narrow
band, sharply outlined against blue
sky, stretching towards the earth from
huge mass of darker clouds higher in
the sky.
Holding it's shape for long time
this peculiar cloud moved slowly in the
direction OF Frederick, ard it's progress
was watched by hundreds of people who
ran into the street to see the phenome
non. Some said it was waterspout
and some apprehension was felt as thu
cloud moved southwark, but its long spout
like tail gradually dissolved, and had en-
tirely disappeared before it reached thu

The Church and the Lode

1t is reported that at the recent Cen
eral Synod of the Lutheran church, a
Esprit of liberation" was manifested
with reference "to lodge membership. -
As a matter of fact, we learn that the
question wa1 not before that body at all
in any such way as to justify a newspa-
per report of federation" The General
Synod takes the modern, liberal ground,
on all such questions, Notwithstanding
the fact that some of the close-commun-
list Lutheran bodies take the opposite
side. General Synod Lutheranism &C
cepts all who accept Christ, and gives to
its members personal liberty in matters
purely benevolent and fraternal.
1t is no doubt true that few people
do consider that their Lodge is good
enough to take the place of the Church.
1t would be folly to expect lodges to be
wholly free from "cranks;" and it is also
undoubtedly true that many members
are of no credit to their lodges, and that
lodges may at times be of little real good
in a community; but, even all this does
not prove lodges, as a whole, to be OBJ
jects of suspicion, and that membership
in them is necessarily thing to be
viewed with federation
1t would be decidedly better for most
church to exercise considerable more Of
the fraternal and charitable spirit which
,characterizes the best lodges, than t.
attempt to belittle and criticise them
practically without just provocation.
The church is essential, above all organ.
izations, but it does not, and cannot, dc
all the good that should be done in the
world, therefore prohibiting "lodg'
membership" would simply mean "leav
ing undone things that should have beef
done" Without finding fault with tn
belief of those who honestly disagree, w
are of the opinion that there will neve
be any great percentage of America
people subscribe to the idea that ther
can be no good thing under the Sun, out
