CHOIR LEADER CHOSEN OnF«b. 4» 1880—Mrs. .Lucy Barber Ap­ pointed by the Session—She ’ Holds the Position at ' Present Time., ■ After the r^ruoval of the minority, which in' this instance whs about 60 or two fifths of the entire^ congrega­ tion, the remaining.'member#' set to Work with now zeal. Extensive .re­ pairs were made on the church. The interior was decorated with paint and ' new paper, - the outside was -painted. The cupola 'was remodeled and a rail­ ing and lattice W o rk was put around the top improving its appearance, and, the arrangement of the seating was also changed, In'the old church,, the pews were attached to the walls on each side and a'double row of pews in the center, leaving but two aisles in the church. Fy the change the aisles were, placed along each side and one aisle in the center,, thus making two double roWs of pews. The- choir was also given a nCw location. At first, i t wan. located in front- on the, west side o f tlie pulpit, then it Was aken back to the rear between- the yestibule doors, and at this time it was provided for by .erecting a ,plat form on the east side of the pulpit Here i t . remained as long as the church was used for- worship, The ■cost of these improvements was about $600; While this improvement Was going on there were other evidences of life, and the congregation was en cournged to hear candidates and take action looking toward a pastorate. I t 1ms been difficult to learn just Who were the supplies during this per­ iod,with one exception. That wasJRev. 8 , F, Clark'who conducted communion Services for the congregation on Aug­ ust,9,1874. The next cotnmuuiou was conducted by.Rev. H . F. Wallace, of Knoxville* Iowa. He acted a# mod- erater of the session on March 3, 1875 and conducted the communion on the the next Babbatb, (March 7) without assistance.. The congregation made oat a call for him soon after, for it was presented to Presbytery on March 16, and was sustained. He signified his acceptance of it by letter, •and bis certificate was received by Presbytery on July 27. He preached his first sermon as regular pastor on Sabbath July 18, 1875, and was in­ stalled as pastor on October 26, and the congregation was once more hap­ pily settled after a vacancy of three years lacking but three days. A va­ cancy marked by one of the most try­ ing experiences rind most alarming disruptions in the history of the con­ gregation. ■ With.bis ministry began an era of peace, Harmony and concord have prevailed* for the last twenty years, and henceforth. We have naught to chronicle but the happy incidents and delightful features that have ap­ peared under the Divine blessing. During the pastorate of Mr* Wallace ttere were many actions which were first on record, of their kind* Some of these deserve a.place for their his­ toric value, On August 2,1875, the session adopted the card system o f fairing the mission funds of the church and arranged that the collec­ tions for missions should he made on the first Bftbbhth of each month. This after a period of 27 years Is still the custom of the congregation. On Dec. 8,187s a committee wasappoint* *d to meet with a similar committee •from the R. I \ church to arrange"- for tmipnservices during the .Week of fmyat. On Feb, 2,1876 the Tattoo# of Uoibniidry occupied the attention of the session. This organization was at that time sweeping over the country like n" tidal wave. There was no sub­ sequent action, from'which we infer that it gave little trouble afterwards. On July 29,1876, there was a joint meeting-of the session and the trus­ tee to prepare a financial system for the raising and collecting; of all the funds of the church* ’ This is the first notice of aJoint meeting of the..two bodies named.. ‘ " _ •On March 7, 1.87*7, the moderator and clerk were authorized by the ses­ sion to grant certificates to removing members without caflirig a meeting of the session in every .case... On Nov. 6 , 1878*the attention of the congrega­ tion was called, to tlie duty of electing deacons, but it-seems-thatthe recom­ mendation was never taken-into con­ sideration.^ On Feb, 4, 1880, the session appointed. Mrs, Lucy" Barber to be choir leader with ’Eben Archer and Geo, B. Graham as assistants. This is the first appointment of Mrs. Barber Who bus held the place contin­ uously • to the -present Ldute. • The others named had held the position previous to tlie time of Mrs.,,Barber’s appointment. Ou March 26, 1880, occurred the death of Mr. George Jackson. He was the last survivor of the old session, and the one whpse connection held the organization through the reorganization' period; He had been leader of the choir in some of its .most flourishing days and Was greatly esteemed, Very suitable and appropriate resolutions were adopted by the session, concerning him, on'May 5; 1880, . . . . “ PEERING JOM .” '" I k ; Residents on the Boutli and west side of town are much, disturbed at night by the appearance of a man who wanders over tlie Jawus and has a hankering for peeping in the windows of residences. The matter has been brought to the officers attention but it seeriis that they have been unable to place a cine. The . appearance of “Tom” have caused no end of trouble in different families. The husband finds it hard work in keeping his fam­ ily together and in several instances we hear that wOmen/abgolutely refuse te retire at night time, the night be­ ing spent in a rocking chair and their slumbers obtained, under the glare of kerosene Tamp, The officers are on the watch nightly and expect to land “Tom” before any harm befalls him at the hands of the women.

He is the most extensively ..quoted newspaper writer-in tlie equufry to­ day, ,and hia feature work such ns “Cedarville’s New Fire JEugloe" is in great demand.'

Emperor William has expressed his wish that the German Empire exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition ip 1904 slinll be made on a scale to attract as much attention as any other foreign exhibit. This information comes from Joseph Brucker, resident representative of the World’s Fair at Berlin* Mr. Brueker also writes that eince the return of Prince Henry, the Emperor’s brother, from his visit to St* Louis, the Emperor and the peo­ ple generally have taken special inter­ est in the World’s Fair, there is al­ so a marked improvement in the in­ dustrial conditions in Germany now as compared with one year ago, and the manufacturers of the country pro­ ducts at the great Fair, The Ger­ man exhibit in the Department of Fine Arts is in an advanced stage of organization," and it is certain to be the largest and finest art exhibit ever made hy that country at any exposi* Ron* SUNDAY EXCURSION TO COLUMBUS. •'■ - ■ - ■ t July 13th excursion tickets to Col umbtis will be sold via Pennsylvania bines at ILOfi round trip, valid on Special train leaving.

Boards,of health are now com­ posed of fi\4 instead of six members, and the mayor is not a .member of the. hoard. ..Thepresent members of the board are to serve out the terms' for which they were appointed. In ham­ lets and town#, and villages of less than two hundred the council may appoint a health officer- in lieu Of a board of health, but such appointment must be approved by the state board of health. I f any city, village or town fails to appoint a health officer, or establish a board of health, then the state board may appoint an officer. Entirely new provisions are made for the prevention of contagious and infectious diseases. The duration of quarantine in smallpox, diptheria and membranous croups and scarlet fever is fixed. I t is' left option with boards of health to quarantine measles, cbick- enpox or whooping cough. The board of health is required to immed­ iately disinfect any house or room, in which a person lias been ill with any conlagious disease, and it is a misde­ meanor to rent any room, or permit auy one to sleep therein, and’subjecta any one guilty .of such violation oftho law to.a heavy fine, and cases where infection can be traced to such neg­ lect the offender is held liable for ex­ penses as weil as suits for damages. • The expenses for all quarantine, and other measures strictly for the protection of the public are to.be paid by the city, village or township in which such quarantine is established. This will include infected clothing, furniture, etc., or buildings which It may be necessary to destroy. All other expenses arc to bo paid by the persons quarantined when able to do so. The board qf health may appoint inspectors of schools find school building*. Medical inspectors of schools may he appointed under this act. The board of health is given full power to abate nuisances and remove or correct all conditions detrimental to health or well being around or up­ on the school property. The will Of the late John Perrin a wealthy land owner and bachelor of near Springfield was filed iti the Clark county "Probate Court Wednesday* Tlie estate Is valued at $ 200 , 000 .

Under it That Could not be Done Be­ fore.—A Comparison by At­ torney Wheeler. Temperance people everywhere"ai;e nsking us for information regarding the new advantage to the temperance cause conferred by the Beal Local Op; tion law. To.answer these inquiries, Attorney Wheeler lias prepared the following statement of things that can bo-done under lt-that could not- be done before. Read them carefully; and the vas.t advantage Of the Beal Local Option Lawv witl become ap­ parent toheyery intelligent person. The positive gains for temperance people in the passage of the Beal Bill are: . ; 1 . It„transfers power to prohibit saloons from the Couikil to the peo­ ple. When forty .per cent of the voters of a municipal .corporation pe­ tition the Council for‘a special elec­ tion to determine thte will of the peo­ ple on the question of saloons or no saloons, the CounoiTis required to or­ der such election. Hit3?- tlie 'people de­ cide- by majority yote whether the sa­ loon is to remain or he abolished. 2 . Council option, was unsatisfac­ tory;because— (a) The ordinance which, the Council bad the authority 'to pass could uot prohibit the selling, furnish­ ing or giving away of intoxicating liquor for beverage purposes; it only prohibited the place where it was sold at retail* (b) I f the Council refused" to pass the ordinance, the people were with­ out remedy except hy election of new counciimen. (c) A t a regular election of..couji oilmen, other questions which arose hindered a fair test of sentiment on the saloon issue. (d) At the informal elections held under the present Council Option law, none'Of tlie safeguards that pro­ tected a regular election applied. 3. This law strengthens the weak points in ordinances that might have been passed by counciimen under the piCsent Council Option law— (n) By dealing directly with the selling, furnishing aud giving away of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes. An ordinance prohibited ONLY THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS SOLD; evasions by selling *on the street, giving away and furnish* ing Were made easy. (b) By effectually reaching the beer wagons or saloons ou wheels, which successfully evaded pruhibitory ordinances* (c) By making it obligatory up­ on county and municipal officers to enforce this law. 4* Section 4364-20 ,of the bill amends section 11 of the Dow law so that regulative ordinances may be passed by the Council in saloon towns, controlling- the selling, furnishing and giving away of intoxicating liquors as a beverage. The ordinances which they had authority to pass were inef­ fective. - ‘ (a) I t was pirctic .Ily impossible to pnss an ordinance of.any value con­ trolling the sale of liquors to minors, drunkards, etc. Over eighty per eeut of the ordinances which pretended to do this were illegal. The new law gives the Council power to deal with this phrase of the question effectively, if they Want to do so. (b) L'bo penalty for Sunday open-; ing is changed, mhking i t a fine of from ttmity-five to one hundred dol­ lar# for a first offense and a money fine or imprisonment for a second of- feiise. The' old law made the fine twenty-fiy# dollar# and impthtoament for all offenses. This gave the liquor dealer a jury trial, and in cities the police court jury made this a farce. 'Hie new bill increases the money fine and does away with, the Jury trial for a first offense. This is what temper­ ance people have been working for in the large .cities for several years, but without success, • 5. A brewery could sell by the gallon for beverage purposes under a prohibito'ry ordinance, and practically become a saioon. This was done at Cambridge, Oliio. The Beal bill pro­ hibits the manufacturer from selling," furnishing or giving away intoxicat­ ing liquors for beverage purposes, ex­ cept to bona fide retail liquor dealers and inrwholesale-quantitios to persons residing,outside of -the municipality. 8 . The enforcement of , law. is. made easier. “ An ordinance could not ne enforced except by municipal officers. The new law may be 'en- forced by the- county, officers as well. This is a decided advantage, when a may occasionally slips into office who will not do his duty, as is now the case at Xeuia., Besides, we have a sepnrate StotqTaw (sec. 694ij, with a. severe penalty for any person who keeps a place where liquor is sold in violation of law. This could not ap­ ply to the qrdioance, ns it was not .a law. I t does’apply to the new law, aud when a liquor dealer in a dry town persists in violating this law he may be prosecuted under tins sepnrate section of-the law and his place abat­ ed as a miisance.- 7. The law InakeS the restriction upon the druggist who,sells on pre­ scription' . much more , .difficult to evade. ■. / 8 . I t makes more clear whatisin-’ ■ .9 . - , ■ - toxicating liquor; under the ordinance there was no definition of it, and it was always a stumbling block in the prosecution of a case. 9* It prohibits the express business in liquor to dry towns “O. O. D,” Unless the sale is entirely completed at an outside point, it cannoc be sent to a prohibitory town. 10* I t does away with the club rooms aud bottle houses, and a- score of other forms Of speak-easies that' were operated under the ordinance, in defiance of the spirit of the ordinance, but not the letter of it. 11. I t relieves village and city councils from one>of the most annoy- ing queations with which .they had to deal. - There will now be an oppor­ tunity to elect counciimen ou their merits as business men, able to take care of the business interests ol tlie town, rather than on their attitude to the saloon question. Under the former conditions both the business interests and temperance interests of­ ten suffer. - 12. I t gives temperance people a uniform law for municipalities that cannot be tampered with by councils. A ilarge per cent of the ordinances drawn by counciimen on this subject were Jllegal. The Beal Bill frames tho law in every detail which is to go info effect in each municipality ns soon as they indicate by a majority vote that they want it to go into ef* feet. - 13. The affidavit for the arrests of violators is made simple and clear by a specific provision in the new law. Under the ordinance, it was a techni­ cal and difficult tiling' to draw, and very many of the affidavits prepared by .mayor were declared insufficient before the case was concluded, and the officer was discouraged with this of litigation. > 14. I t gives any state wide tern perance organization a firmer grip on the enforcement of the law, tlie law being uniform for every municipality* Blank forms ior prnelieally all stages in the procedure ol the, case can be prepared and supplied to officers and those friendly to laWaud order* This was impossible under the old sys­ tem. 15. It is the first slate-wide grip, from a. legal standpoint, that we have been able to get on the liquor traffi# in municipalities In Ohio,—American Issue. irsnlAcrlh* for tha ttotndd WILL BUILD SOON. Under the head of “Talk of the.

The little town of Yellow Springs furnished a poisoning case, coincident with and similar to the One in which Mr. and Mrs. John Emniick of 47 Sherman avenue were the victims last Sunday. On that same day the botau- ist at Antioch college gathered a quantity of mushrooms which he had served for dinner at his boarding houi. There were seven persons at the dinner table and shortly after the meal they each and every one became quite sick, Among the party wore Dr, Willey and wife, of Delaware, and Manager Canfield of the"Springfield and Xenia traction .<1 line. Having a ‘ physician present, the cause of their sudden ill­ ness was soon discovered and j'by ad­ ministering the ’l proper restoratives the quickly recovered*.

The Seventy-fitli general assembly will convene in extraordinary session in Colnnibus, August 25, to enact a general law for the government of Ohio municipalities and to amend or repeal the Royer law, which deprives the supreme court of jurirdiction in the majority of applied cases. Governor Nash, while in .Put-iri* Bay, where he attended the meeting ol the State Bar association Tue-iday, sent the following telegram to Frede­ rick Sink#, Ins private sceretaryi “The general assembly will be called into extraordinary' session on August 25.” . .The governor’s action fixing so ear­ ly n date is contrary to the wishes of tho timid politicians, who fear the ef­ fect of the session upon the state tick et, Governor Nash feels that politi* dal expetulieney should not 1 m consid ered in this erisifc, when the welfare of alt cities of Ohio is a t stake* Xenia Flour 24& lb sack for $0o. at Birds, . . TOO MUCH TROUBLE, A belated traveler, who was com­ pelled to stay all night in a back­ woods cabin, says that soon ’after the trjugnl meal a tall, gaunt youth of about lSi and an equally swallow and gaunt girl of 17, both barefooted, took their hats from wooden pegs in the wall and prepared to go Out, whereupon the mother, taking her pipe from- between her yellow teeth, said, reprovingly: “Go ' ’long an’ wash your feet, Levi* you an* Looly both! Hain’t you’shamed to go off to an evenin’ party without washin’ your feet?” They obeyed, but as Levi took the wasbpan from a bench by the door, he said, with a grumble: ‘Td ’bout ns soon stay home from a party as to have fix up for it!” The Power to Earn and the Power to Save. A writer in the Commercial Weet, in drawing attention to “ the aftfety of farm investments,” incidentally shows that it is the power to save that determines the value of the power to earn. One may earn much* but un­ der conditions that render it imposed-' ble to save anything. Another may earn little, but under conditions that make it unnecessary to spend any­ thing. Jt is not difficult to see -that the fact of earning does, not deter­ mine the fact of net earning or sav­ ing. . Many persons undertaking to man­ age a business for themselves have brought disaster to their business by not knowing how to classify and ac­ count for all tho .cost of doing tho business. ^Througn not taking correct­ ly into consideration all costs, they have deceived themselves as to pro* fitt, and have been astonished to find it impossible to continue what they had believed to be « paying business. More and more the value of oorract accounting is »>oingforced on (ha at­ tention ol all classes of persona. To ifisute success one needs not only to be told tlmtruth by others; he needs, above all things, to tell himeolf the ruth. Thi#h#fiatnotdo Who does not know it.'—•Pahlio Policy, Us* Gbidsn Rule flour.
