A large audience greeted Rev. Martz at the Evangelical church Sundaymorning and 'listened to the first sermon in the city by that gentleman. His welcome was a pleasing one and his stay in Decatur will no doubt be one of much good to our citizens and much pleasure to Rev. Martz.

" No one can attend this remarkable play without being benefitted and uplifted by it. So reverently acted and so skillfully handled in the recital in the Lord’s Prayer by the aged Apostle Peter that no offense is given to those who hold religion as dear and sacred. Nothing could be in stronger and stranger contrast than the heartless cruelty of the Emperor Nero and the saintly Christians, as they existed in the actual past, in the alluring story of the novelist and in the dramatizaiion of the latter. It is possible, of course, to compress in a brief play but a fraction of the novelists elaborate work, yet they have succeeded in preserving the spirit of the famous original and selected with discrimination its most striking passages. The Carpenter Dramatic Company who produce this startling spectacle is an organization especially formed for its production which will be given here at the opera house on Friday, April 20. the scenery is of the most elaborate nature and consists of eleven full stage sets. It is such an unusual style of peiformance that it is certain to attract attention from al) sources, and liesides it affords excellent instruction and thought fulness to ages long past, bringing back to mind scenes which will doubtless tend to soften and cultivate the intellect.

In Memoriam. Jonathan Fleming was born in Washington county, Pa., September 13. 181(1; departed 'his life in Decatur April 2,1900, aged eighty years, six months and nineteen days. He came to Adams county, where he has ever since resided, in 1840. He was married November 10, 1842, to Susanah La Masters and to them were born two children, both of whom with the mother have proceeded the father. (In May 10. 1862, he was married to Nancy E. Peoples, and to this marriage have been born ten children, three sons and seven daughters. One son and one daughter are deceased and there remains two sons, six daughters and many other relatives and friends, who extend their sympathies to the aged and loving helpmate. The departed husband and father left bright evidence that all was well and that he had made peace with God. He united with the Alpha class M. E. church in 1890 and during his sickness said to his family that he knew that his Christian life had not been what it should have been, but that he had sincerely repented and that he felt that God had graciously forgiven him. He said that while he would like to stay with his family he felt like saying “Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; mevertheless, not as I will but Thy- will be done, I am ready." Among his last words were: -I will soon clasp hands with those who have gone before." No one seemed so dear to him as his Savior. As a husband he was always kind and gentle, never turning a deaf ear to those in need of counsel. One of the dear ones left behind said: “We mourn only because the earthly tie has been severed, but we look bevond this vale of tears and anticipate that joyous reunion on the other shore.” “As he left us he whispered ‘Weep not for me, lam going home.’ So we say, Dear father good night, we will meet in the morning.” To the officers and members of St. Marys Lodge number 167, I. O. O. F: Your committee to whom was referred the duty of preparing suitable resolutions upon the death of Brother A. L. DeVilbiss report the following: Whereas, we are again reminded how transitory is all earthly life, and again our hearts are saddened by the death of a beloved brother of this order: Therefore be it resolved, that in the death of Brother Alton L. DeVilbiss, our Lodge has lost a loyal supporter and each of his brethren a friend whose vacant chair will continually remind us of the beauty of faithfulness and the value of an upright life and a genial disposition; and while we mourn our loss, may the •• All Seeing Eye" guide and keep our departed brother's wife and daughter in their loneliness and keep us all tender and true to them and each to the other. Fraternally, James T. Merryman, Geo. W. Woodward, John FL Lenhart, committee. Whereas, the great reaper Death has again invaded our Encampment, and removed from our midst our beloved brother Patriach, A. L. De\ ilbiss. Resolved, that in the death of Patriaoh DeVilbiss. our encampment has lost a true and faithful member, and one who was always willing to help and aid us in all our works. As the Patriachs of old were gathered to their fathers, even so has our beloved been gathered to that Royal Encampment above to which hope looks forward with ardent joy as we shed tears i f sympathy over his grave. Resolved, that our charter be draped and a copy of above furnished the bereaved family. C. F. Alleger, M. L. Byers, J. W. DeLong, Committee.

August Flower. “It is a surprising fact,” says Prof. Houton, “that in my travels in all parts of the world, for the last ten years, I have met more people having used Greene’s August Flower than any other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged liver and stomach, and for constipation. I find for tourists and salesmen, or for persons filling office positions, where headaches and general bad feelings from irregular habits exist, that Greene's August Flower is a grand remedy. It does not injure the system by frequent use, and is excellent for sour stomach and indigestion.” Sample bottles free at Page Blackburn’s drug store. Sold bydealers in all civilized countries.

Paris as She Knows Us. The Liberte publishes a really intelligent telegram from New York, describing how Sir Brooklyn (eagle), the great- | est politician of the Washington government. denies the possibility of the new triple alliance. In order to explain the status of Sir Brooklyn the editor I adds in a note that “eagle” is a word i which has no equivalent in the French ; political language. That editor, like Bottom, ought to be translated.—London Globe. Amending Years Not Wanted. Just as the old age bacillus has been tracked almost to its lair Sir Walter Besant comes out with a description of i what life would be if the bacillus were ' found and destroyed that is enough to make us hope its pursuers are to be shut out at the post, after all. Sir Walter says that without an end there would be nothing worth living for. In fact, he wrote a story some years ago based on the supposition that the bacillus had been caught and rendered impotent, in which be pictured a young girl learning for herself and wakening her young-old contemporaries to learn that to take away the “fleeting” aspect from any condition, no matter how happy, was to render it stale and without fillip of any kind. They learned that the having in mind the end of anything, even the looking 1 ahead to the time when death should ' come, made all happiness the more precious. Perhaps we would do well to think ' on this phase of the subject and even go so far as to take a vote op whether or not the hunters for the bacillus shall be allowed to go on with their chase.—Boston Transcript.

Perhaps the plague in Paraguay is merely an attack of pigue, or sand flea. This insect is called nigua in the native language. In 1870 it killed a whole colony of Englishmen, consisting of 200 families, turning the colony, which was at Itape, into a cemetery. A German colony at Acegua was driven out. The pigue causes buboes and attacksthe warmest parts of the body—that is,, the cavities and the groin and armpitjust the same spots as the eastern plague. It attacks Englishmen and Germans preferentially and avoids those that use but little soap. Soaps clean the body, and the pigue likes clean persons to eat. It also avoids people who eat more or less poisonous food. A man saturated with alcohols, Boca gin, nicotine and Paseo de Julio cookery is pretty well safe from the sand flea.—Buenos Ayres Herald. Alleged Boer Cruelty. Sergeant T. Jewiss of the Royal artillery, now with General Clery’s field force, writes this incredible story to his bister at Gravesend: "God help the Boers when our fellows do get a rub at them, for they are the most cruel men that you would dream of! They burled some of the Dublin fusileers alive, poor devils, because they were wounded, and the Dublins, since they have been re-enforced, are like a lot of madmen, thirsting to get at the Boers. The other day a troop of cavalry went out reconnoitering and saw three of our troops tied up to three distinct trees, and each of them had about 20 shots in him, which the Boers had made. And to see some of the houses that the devils have looted is shocking—doors smashed in; furniture and goods that they could not carry away they smashed to atoms.”—London Leader. i
