Goetz, The Tailor. Returned With Numberless Bargains. Boston being the headquarters of. boot and shoe manufacturers has been visited for the past two weeks by Sol. Blumenthal in search of bargains for his many patrons.

Having the spot cash Blumenthal was able to take advantage of all credit buyers and therefore secured many bargains. This has been the most disastrous season ever known among the shoe manufacturers and jobbers, Many of them were compelled to sacrifice their goods at greatly reduced prices Blumenthal takes pride in announcing to his customers and the public that an immense stock of these goods has been purchased by him and are now ready for inspection. To attempt to quote prices would require too much time and space. All Blumenthal asks is to give his goods a thorough examination before purchasing elsewhere. Sol.

The undersigned in this public way ap- peal to you that you will not become bonds men or vouchers for applicants for liquor license at the approaching term of license court. We also appeal to you that you will do all in your power to discourage from do ing it any who may be inclined to become bondsmen or vouchers. From the many reasons upon which we base this appeal we present the following: and vouchers become parties with the applicant in the business.

The twelve vouchers are moral partners. The bondsmen are not only moral partners but also possible partners in financial losses, These fourteen men are either directly or indirectly sharers in producing every sor row, disgrace, trouble, ail poverty, suffering. disorder, court expense, jail expense, and penitentiary and other costs arising from the use of liquor sold at these houses which they helped in securing license. We maEe this appeal, not through any personal hostile leeling towards any person or persons, but we make it only because we have a strong desire for the highest possible welfare of every family and individual in this community, whatever may be their fol lowing in life. We ask you the indus trious, intelligent, home loving citizens of our boroughs to do the friends, your families and yourselves the real honor of abstaining from giving aid to this, our common enemy.

Sol. Elumenthal. One of the most complete family residences in this city is that owned by Mr. Sol. Blumenthal, the shoe dealer, loca'ed at the corner of Lexington avenue and Ninth street It is of brick and contains all the modern improvements- To describe the building fully would occupy considerable space, but a brief sketch will be of interest to our readers.

The foundation is built in the most substantial manner and the stone used are of the best quality. The cellar is a model of convenience, is seven feet high, lathed and plastered on sides and ceiling; contains a well finished laundry, vegetable bins, places for coal and wood, and also a large furnace for heating purposes. The first floor contains a large hall, parlor, sitting and dining rooms and kitchen. In the sitting room is an octagon-shaped bay window. AH these rooms are finished and trimmed with quartered oak, and each one has all the modern improvements.

In the hall of the first floor is a fine Tennessee marble wash stand, which is quite a convenience. Thr second floor is laid out in convenient bed rooms, finished in fine wood and painted and decorated handsomely. The third floor is laid off in bed rooms and also contains a conservatory. The Btaircase, running from the first floor to the third, is a magnificent affair and is the finest piece of work that can be seen in Altoona. The stairs are winding and Eastlake in style with platform.

Altogether it is a model of convenience, and a most pleasant home. It was built by Messrs. Leas, Bartley of this city, whose interests were watched by Mr, Levi Goshen, their foreman. The architect and superintendent of the work was Mr. James A.

Marshall, who is well-known as architect of considerable ability. In this one particular he has shown himself to be a thorough artist and his work will stand as a high tribute to his ability. Mr. Blumenthal is to be congratulated in securing his services, and in doing so he has now one of the best planned and built houses in Altoona. A Success.

Notwithstanding the rain and mud acd darkness, the reception and donation given Rev. E. J. Metzler, the new pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran church, on Friday evening, was a splendid success.

It was an occasion that wilt be long remembered. The church was well filled with friends of the pastor. The aged, the middle aged and the young were there, and there to form the acquaint ance as well as to cordially welcome Rev. Metzler and family. At 8 o'clock the choir sang an appropriate selection and Rev.

J. F. Hartman offered prayer. Rev. E.

D. Weigle, in a happy manner, addressed the new pastor, giving him a welcome to the city and to the community of Millville. Rev. Hartman followed in a brief address. The response by Rev.

Metzler was happy and timel After further music the new pastor and wife were introduced and shook hands with all present. What added very much to the pleasure of the evening was the presence and good wishes and kindly feeling of members of the churches who live in Millville. The donations were large and substantial, requiring a wagon to convey the things to the pastor's residence. The evening was delightfully spent. After bidding all good night and enjoying a piece of cake at "hotel Caroon," your reporter then hastened home ward.

X. Tha Street Railway Extensions. On Saturday morning last the regular meeting of the street car company directory was held. It was decided to have the increase of capital stock paid in and arrange ments made as soon as possible to advertise for proposals for the extensions to the street car track east and west, and if councils will not grant the privilege of operating the line with electricity then horses will be used for the purpose of hauling the cars. The ordinance has been before councils for some time, but as yet no decisive action has been taken.

The question should be decided one way or the other so that the company can make definite plans as to the means to be used for propulsion electricity or horses. The proposed extensions are as follows: Beginning at the terminus of the road be tween First and Chestnut avenues northeast to Juniata; and at the junction of Eighth avenue and Fourth street, southeast to Sixth avenue, and east on Sixth avenue to township road; beginning at the junction of Union ayenue with Eleventh avenue and Bridge street; southeast on Union avenue to Broad street; west on Broad street to Alle gheny or Millville, beginning at the junction of Twenty-fourth street with Seventh avenue northwest on Twenty-fourth street to Broad street. All Enjoyed Themselves. Juniata grange No. 889, Patrons of Hus bandry, met at their hall in Juniata on Saturday.

A number of new members were advanced to the third and fourth degrees. Quite a large number of members were present, and if the grange continues to increase in numbers as rapidly as it has been doing will soon be the banner grange of the country. The ladies had a table extending from one end of the hall to the other filled with all the good things which a granger could wish for, which was relished by all. Deputy F. M.

Glasgow and his excellent lady, of Antis township, were in attendance. Coming- Wednesday Evening'. "Under the Lash," a strong melo-drama, full of exciting incidents and thrilling climaxes, will be the attraction at the Eleventh Avenue opera house on Wednesday evening, February 19. Mr. Walter S.

Monroe discourse on "The Psalmist's Conception of God." He chose for his text Psalms xxxvi, 7-9, inclusive: "How excellent is Thy loving kindness, God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with Thee is the fountain of life; in Thy light shall we see light." The preacher spoke in substance as follows: As habit is a powerful factor in the formation of character, the continual looking on the dark side of life lessens our sensitiveness, causes our judgment to become clouded and our conscience to become hardened. Such feelings lower our life. In contrast to this the Psalmist presents the cheering and elevating influence of God's wonderful love and care.

God is recognized as a Provider the fountain of life. The thought of Time without things is beyond human conception. Yet when neither air, light nor water were in being, God designed the creation of a world of things with man as its ruler. In this Divine plan there was involved at threefold development, -and the study of it reveals more clearly to us that God combined in its beauty, strength, harmony and utility. We see this in the realm of the physical, where, while God supplies the material, we have to plan, shape, mould and fit things into a condition to meet our needs.

The same is true in the realm of the mental, different from yet closely identified with the physical and designed to work within and upon it. To do this God puts thoughts into men's minds, as when He commanded Moses to build a tabernacle. He said, "In the hearts of all that are wise-hearted I have put wisdom that they may make all that I have commanded." But they had to work out the divine plan that lay as ideals in their minds. Man is as much compelled to work in the realm of the mental as he is in the physical. Man must be a student.

It has been well said the history of man is crowded with the might of thought. We see this illustrated in every department of life scientific, mechanical, political or social. Just as the mental moves on the physical, so the spiritual is to move upon and use as its servant things in the mental and physical. It is in this realm man comes into communion with God. Hence he is naturally or intuitively a worshipper.

The intellect grasps the idea of faith in God the emotions go out in love to God, while his energies are put forth in the duties of life and serve God. And for the full exercise of all his powers God has organized a church in which the mind finds food in the study of its doctrines, the emotions are quickened in the enjoyment of its means of grace, and its vast enterprises afford a field for the exercise of its energies. What the world needs to-day is areligion with a heart in it. The sermon though clear as crystal and as cold as an iceberg will make the hearer say, "I'll not hear that man again." But the warm appeal, accompanied by the tearful eye, the warm pressure of the hand and the tender wor4 of a trem bling voice will send the man to his knees The great work of the charch to-day is to show men it feels for their souls. God is also conceived as a revealer: "In Thy light shall we see light," The plans of God from the beginning form a chain em bracing worlds seen and unseen.

No doubt the events of this life have much to do with the events of the world unseen, and form a part of the great cosmical relations that are to eventuate in displaying the Divine glory. The poor old saint who lives in some back alley, unnoticed by the eye of the world, and whose labors are confined to the boy clothec in rag3, and among women lost to virtue, when God appears in the splendor of the last day, she will be crowned in the presence of a world assembled as hav ing done her part in promoting that glory. Religion is, therefore, a full acquiescence in and harmony with the Divine will. But as our lives are too brief to perceive every link in the chain, God has promised to help our infirmity by the aid of the Holy Spirit. Paul says: "What man knoweth the things of a man save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God, But God revealeth them unto us by His Spirit." It is by this spirit we see light in God's light.

It comes to us in sorrow, in trial, in danger and in death. The old world is said to be filled with galleries con taining pictures by the old masters, but within me are walls of memory which are adorned by pictures of other years. There hangs the picture of my dear old father, who, returning from daily toil, pressed my cheek with his warm lips and by whose side I walked to the house of God; and there hangs the picture of my sainted mother, beautiful as she was in her youth, when she soothed my childhood's sorrows, kissed away my tears and taught me to pray. Have they passed away forever? No! No! There will come a time when they shall once more assume form, not the changing form of earth, but made imperishable by the power of God. They shall be mine forever.

And beyond thia shadowy land, Where ail is bright and lair, I know full well thy dear old hand, Will palms of victory bear. When crystal streams, through endless years, Flow over the golden strand, And when the old grow young again, I'll clasp my mother's hand."
