EDITORIAL ROTES. Perhaps it's just as well to leave the (ate of Wilson and Farrell in the hands of the court. Many interesting religious services will be held in this city to-morrow. Surely the most exacting can find a theme that will interest aud instruct. Will the reader who takes time to read the editorial articles on page 6 of this is sue kindlv substitute "minority" for "majority" in the twelfth line from the bottom of the first column? The Ep worth League will celebrate its anniversary the seventh, we believe to morrow.

The growth of this and similar organizations has been the most surprising event of recent yeais. The "hotel" business seems to be somewhat overworked in this and adjoining counties, a fact we record with some satisfaction, since the failure of gin mills is some indication that workingmen are beginning to spend their money for food and clothing rather than for liquid poison. Washington's memory is is best lion ored by sturdy devotion to the principle's for which he sacrificed so much. To Bhout ourselves hoarse in honor of some departed patriot is an evidence of tran sient enthusiasm, but the supreme test of patriotism is unselfish adherence to right principles. We repeat: Never give money to a stranger in exchange for anything what ever that is not actually delivered at the moment the money is paid.

Those who follow this rule may be swindled occa sionally, but they will be less liable to fall into the clutche of sharpers than their brethren who accept as true all that strangers say. They have found an inmate of a peni tentiary out in California who swears that he killed Blanch Laraont and hid her body in Emmanuel church. Thestory, if true, clears Theodore Durrani of the actual commission of the crime. The convict, who is a Russian sailor, is serving a term for horse stealing. It is simply amazing what stories some criminals can be induced to swear to.

Among the resolutions enthusiastically adopted by the tenth annual convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence union of the diocese of Pittsburg held at Mc-Keesport, on Tuesday last, wa9 one condemning the so-called Catholic newspapers that publish liquor advertisements, urging the passage of the anti-treating bill and favoring the increase of the internal revenue tax on spirituous and malt liquors. The hopes that Officer Watson will have the ruffians who made such a brutal assault upon him taken before the court. A small fine is no sufficient punishment for such outrageous conduct as his assailants were guilty of. They should be taught that when they assault an officer they assault the law, of which he is the representative. Drunkenness is no excuse for brutality; it is only an aggravation.

Oi'B local columns related a peculiarly disgraceful affair in which a livery stable employe turned the hose upon a drunken woman who refused to get out of a bnggy. Later on Bhe was arrested and lodged in the city prison, which was proper enough nnder the circumstances. We have not heard that the brutal employe who turned the water on and drenched the wretched woman's garments was arrested, as he ought to have been. Some days ago the editorial department of the Tribune gave the facts in connec tion with the successful swindling of a large number of residents of this city by ashara agent who collected "subscriptions" to the Christian Herald. It will be observed that the same scoundrel has been operating in Hollidaysburg, and he is doubtless playing the same game somewhere else at this time.

It is to be hoped he will eventually meet with his just de-Berts. The announcement in another column that Prothonotary Jesse L. Hartman will be a candidate forrenomination is simply a formal compliance with the rules which require a certain amount of publicity. Were it otherwise no publication would be necessary, since there is an almost unanimous wish among the people of the county, regardless ot party, that Mr, Hartman be continued in his present position for another term. This county baa had a long succession of excel Thkui Is a very decided conflict of authority concerning the tramp and ling-gerty's woods.

It seems to be generally agreed that the statement that many tramps iufest the woods, in the sense of remaining there, is not correct. But Councilman Hamden declares that crowds of them can be seen passing along in the direction of the city. No less than five, he says, were at his place yesterday, asking for something to eat, not to mention the one who called a few nights ago, and who lingers in prison now, because he neglected to ring the door bell. heth er they be many or few, they should be driven out of the county. The most important political event of the week was the organization of the State League of Business Men, which took place yesterday afternoon in llar-risbunr.

The purposes which the league comes into existence to battle for are such as are winning a strong place in the hearts of the people. The speech of Hon. John Wanamaker is one of the most timely and forcible utterances that ever fell from his wise lips and will touch a responsive chord in the hearts of a sorely perplexed and much harassed people. There is alwavs this advantage about popular government: However long a period may elapse during which the people, absorbed in personal pur suits, indifferent to the conduct of public affairs, permitting their servants to assume the role of masters, there always comes a time when they resume control of their own affairs. The republican rank and tile are not exacting; they are willing to continue their confidence in their leaders, but they want to be led, not driven.

Aud they want to see patriotism kept to the front, not self-interest. HOLLIDATSBURO HAPPENINGS. The Newi gi Gathered by Onr Regular Correspondent. The County Capital Building and Loan association will loan il.UUO on Monday evening. Deputy Sheriff W.

Sarah Jane Rhodes, wife of Samuel bodes, died yesterday afternoon at 1.55 o'clock at her home on the Mattern Farm, Blair township, of consumption. Deceased was born on October 20, 1S43. She is survived by her husband and the following children: Emanuel, of Altoo na; Mrs. Annie Moore, of Altoona; Lmma, Robert, Bertha and Frank, at home. The funeral services will be held at the late home on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Interment in the Lutheran cemetery at Newry. Mr. Frank L. Sheppard, general super-, intendent of the Pennsylvania railroad, and A. E.

Reed, superintendent of the Altoona division, accompanied by N. M. Curry, George E. McCague and G. W.

Johnston, of the Pittsburg Limestone company, and James W. Lewis, manager of the quarries, spent most of Thursday in a tour of our limestone districts. The party traveled in Mr. Sheppard's private car and were shown some new territory rich in limestone. We have not learned further particulars, but great developments may be expected in the near future.

The fakirs are hunting in packs and in swarms for the unwary people of this community. Some days ago a bogus agent took orders for a handsome edition of the Bible and a year's subscription to the Christian Herald. He collected $1 from each of his patrons, who after waiting the arrival of the literature for several days, are just beginning to realize that they have been duped. Another fakir made a tour of the town, soliciting jobs of repairing china, chairs, and representing himself to be the unhapy father of triplets. He uses the names of certain ladies in bogus recommendations and householders should beware of his arts and tricks.

The fakirs are also using the mails for their purposes. Yesterday a widow who bad taken stock in a New York city building and loan association with a high sounding title, received a letter from a mercantile agency, warning her that the association was" a bucket shop and existed only to gull country people. Her experience cost her $35. Justice C. B.

Jones took the testimony of several witnesses at the court house yesterday in the matter of the rule to set aside two judgments for $2,500 and $3,000, respectively, that had been confessed by Thomas H. Suckling in favor of Gardner, Morrow bank. These judgments were founded on notes due in one day after date. They had been transferred by Gardner, Morrow Co. to the First National bank, of Hollidaysburg, and the same day that the former bank failed executions were issued on the notes and Mr.

Suckling's establishment was closed by the sheriff. Mr. Suckling claims that these notes had been given by him as collateral security to certain promissory notes, and executions had been issued prematurely before the original indebtedness was due. The bank contended on the contrary that the judgment notes had been executed in order to protect its interests at any time the emergency presented itself. It was also developed in the testimony that rtie $3,000 note belonged to the Altoona bank and bad been assigned to the National bank in error.

The testimony of Hartley H. Jack, F. H. Russ, J. G.

Davis, J. G. Sbope and others was taken, the commissioner being assisted in his duties by a stenographer, Miss Mary Ingold. The case will be beard by the court at an early day. Hollidaysburg African Methodist Episcopal Zion church.
