of the matter until he received the telegram.  A

PRESBYTERIAN RE-UNION AT PEN MAR, PA.

Crowd Numbered About 6000

  Presbyterian Day at Pen Mar Park was a most
delightful one and a large crowd of people were
present.  It was stated by members of the committee
that the crowd Thursday was the largest ever presented
on their reunion day. The number would reach possibly
5000 or 6000.  There was considerable talk of
discontinuing the reunion because of a lack of
interest and funds and at the committee meeting
Thursday morning a rather warm discussion was held,
but it was finally decided, largely because of the
eminent success of this year's reunion, to continue
and the entire committee was re-elected.  Rev. Thomas
J. Ferguson, of Mechanicsburg, chairman, and Rev. Jos.
Stockton Roddy, Harrisburg, secretary, treasurer.
This will be Rev. Roddy's twelfth term in his present
office and much credit is due him for the success of
Thursday's reunion.
 The service in the afternoon was addressed by Rev.
William Henry Roberts, D. D., L L. D., ex-Moderator of
the General Assembly (Northern) and one of the most
prominent men in the Presbyterian church today, Rev.
Roberts has for a long time advocated the
consolidation of all Protestant churches in America
and is an author of note, having written several
treatises on church government and a "History of the
Presbyterian Church," beside much newspaper matter.
His address Thursday was "What the Presbyterian Church
Stand For" and was delivered to audience of over 2000 people.
  A select concert was rendered by the Pen Mar
Orchestra and vocalists under the direction of Prof.
Arthur Watkins, L. T. S. O., College of New Mexico,
immediately after the benediction was pronounced in
the service by Dr. Enders, of York, Chairman of the
Lutheran Reunion Committee.  The concert was fine and
greatly enjoyed.
  The association elected the following reunion
committee to serve for the coming year.
  Rev. Thomas J. Ferguson, Mechanicsburg, PA.,
chairman; Rev. Joseph Stockton Roddy, secretary
treasurer, Harrisburg, Pa.; Alfred F. Waldo,
Chambersburg; J. C. Eckels, Carlisle; Rev. George M.

secretary-treasurer of the association, an auditing
committee of chairman Ferguson and J. C. Eckels was

  Plenty hot enough. Thank you.
  A good steady rain would be welcomed.

  Farmers have commenced to bring new wheat intomarket.
  The early potato is reported as being a poor crop
with many farmers.
  Some have raised their early potatoes and report
only about half a crop.
  The wind is blowing over the oats stubbles.  Thus,
the old saying, six week till frost.

  Read Miller & Co's., ad.  You will always find it
interesting.  Sale lasts only three days more.

  Evangelist Bolze and Band moved from Groff's Woods
on Monday morning to near Enola, PA.

  County superintendent D. A. Kline has rented the
house now occupied by E. S. Loy on East McClure street
and will move into same October 1st.

  All parties interested are requested to meet at the
Stone Church in Little Germany on Saturday afternoon
for the purpose of cleaning the graveyard.

  We were very sorry to learn of the illness of Wm. J.
Dunkleberger, of near Oak Grove, who is in a
Philadelphia hospital for treatment, but hope for his
speedy recovery.

  The Reformed Sunday school of Duncannon, will picnic
in Henry Snyder's Grove, old camp ground, on Saturday,

  During the month of July Register and Recorder
Darlington issued seven marriage licenses.  The
average of the males was 26 * years, females 25 years.
 Number of licenses to date is 4091.

  The katydid and the doleful little cricket have
commenced their mournful music at night.  An old
saying is that when the katydids come there will be
but six weeks until frost to damage the vegetable
crop.

  Last week J. S. Whitmore off of an acre of ground
threshed 60 bushels of oats.  He also threshed 29
bushels of wheat from an acre.  Mr. Valentine did the
threshing and made very excellent work.

  John W. Tressler, is having vapor heat installed in
his residence on West Main street, recently purchased
from the J. B. Hackett heirs.  He is also making many
other improvments which will add much to the beauty
and comfort of the home.

  Burgess J. A. Henney has posted notices to effect
that the borough ordinance against riding bicycles on
the pavements in our town will be strictly enforced
from this date.  The fine is $5.00 for each offense.
Better take the street for it boys and save the fine.

  A curtain judge has just affirmed the right of a man
to swear in his own home.  We do not precisely see
where the judge got his law since in most of the
states of the union profanity is a punishable
offense.  And if it be against the law we do not see
how it is allowable anywhere.

  After the publication of the best twenty
certificates a mistake of one was discovered in the
count of Howard Stine's certificate, Mr. Stine's
certificate counted 16 14-15 instead of 17 14-15.
This change materially advances his standing in the
list lately published.

  Director of the Poor, S. M. Rice, of Landisburg, was
among the visitors in our town on Tuesday.  Mr. Rice
said that himself, son Irvin and two other gentlemen
were on the mountain on Monday and brought home with

Dairy and Food Division offices, and formerly
connected with the State Library, has been elected
secretary of the Home Trust Company, of Brooklyn.  Mr.
Swartz, who formerly lived in Duncannon has been
connected with Brooklyn financial institutions for
several years.

  Besides its excellent reputation in advancing
students along intellectual lines.  The Lock Haven
State Normal School is unsurpassed for its splendid
advantages.  Its large student body is handled as if
it were a family and the welfare of each one is
considered.  It has a fine location and is well
equipped.  Address the Principal for an illustrated
catalogue.

  Miss Mary Nary, of Elliottsburg, who recently
accidently shot herself, an account of which was
published in this paper was taken to the Harrisburg
hospital on Monday and Tuesday underwent an operation
for appendicitis.  The operation was an entire success
and the young lady is getting along as well as can be
expected.

  Notwithstanding the fact that the Lock Haven State
Normal school has large dormitories, its rooms will
all be taken for the Fall term beginning Sept. 7th.
This is an indication of the esteem in which this
splendid school is held by the young people of this
state.  It has a first class equipment, a fine faculty
and an ideal location.  Expenses are moderate.
Address the Principal for illustrated catalog.

FOR HOME MERCHANTS.

It Is Up To Them To Cope With The Large Mail Order Houses

  Bloomfield merchants, with those of other cities and
towns, are fully aware of the fact that the large mail
order houses are seriously cutting into their local trade.
  "The mail order house sends its catalogues into
almost every household, presenting inducements which
are hard for the home merchant to prove fallacious.
The mail order house advertises its goods in a manner
which seldom fails to convince the thoughtless consumer
that the goods are what they are represented to be.
It is because the mail order house devotes much space
to detaining prices and describing articles that it
has succeeded in drawing trade from the home merchant.
  "It is not because the consumer is sure that the
goods the mail order houses offer for sale are better
or cheaper than those he can purchase at home that he
becomes a patron of the foreign houses, but because
the consumer can see at a glance just what the mail
order houses offer and the prices asked and believe
these prices are lower than those of the home
merchant.  The remedy lies in the hands of the home
merchants.  They must meet the competition of the mail
order houses by advertising their goods in the same
manner employed by these houses.
  "If the home merchant desires to retain the trade of
the people of his own town and vicinity he must adopt
the mail order house's methods of advertising.  His
advertisements in the local newspapers must show the
people what he has for sale and the prices at which
these articles may be bought.  He must interest the
home buyer in what he has for sale, and there is only
one way in which this can be done, and that is by the
liberal use of printer's ink.  The people are ready to
transfer their patronage from the mail order houses to
the home merchant, but they want to know that the home
merchant wants their trade badly enough to ask them for it.

Prof. J. H. BUCHHEIT at Head of the Academy

  The New Bloomfield Academy has been leased to Prof.
John H. Buchheit, A. M., of Lancaster, Pa., for the
period of three years.  Prof. Buchheit arrived here
Friday evening and immediately assumed his duties as
principal of this well known institution of learning.
Instead of the school being managed by a board of
directors as it has been for the past few years, it
will be under the supervision and control of one
man--Prof. Buchheit, now principal.  He has already
employed a strong faculty.  Dr. S. H. Deitzel, will be
assistant principal, who with his wife will occupy the
girl's dormitory and conduct the boarding department,
Prof. C. C. Meyer will be another of the teachers.  A
good music teacher will also be employed.

  Prof. Buchheit is a graduate of Mercersburg Academy
and Franklin and Marshall College and since has taken
a two years' post graduating course in the Theological
Seminary and taught two years in Franklin and Marshall
Academy.  During the past three years he has been
connected with college as financial secretary, which
position he resigned to accept the principal ship of
the New Bloomfield Academy.

  Prof. Buchheit will make a thorough canvass of the
county for students for the coming term, which opens
on September 14th.

  The friends of the Academy can feel elated over the
present outlook for the future success of the school
and all that is now needed to insure the success of
this institution is the co-operation and support of
the good people of the county.

meeting to be held August 13, 14, 15, and 16.  I
consider this a greater honor to me than if I had
received a letter from Theodore Roosevelt inviting me
to address the Congress of the United States.
President Roosevelt is the president of forty-seven
States.  You, as president of the Universal Peace
Union, stand as president of the United States of the World.
  If your message for peace on earth and the messages
of Professor Andrew B. Smolnikar had been received by
those whose duty it was to receive them, all wars
would have stopped forty years ago.  All the human
life and property destroyed in wars during the last
forty years belonged to our Peace Union and would have
been saved if our heavenly messages of peace on earth
had been regarded by political and ecclesiastical
parties and sects.  The last Peace Conference at the
Hague has not been as satisfactory as the friends of
peace desired to see.  The ablest statesmen are not
yet aware of what is required to make universal peace
a grand success.  There must be an elevation of
mankind above all sectarianism in Church and State.
  There is no peace and there can never be true peace
under the present course of political and
ecclesiastical affairs.  What you call peace is only
an armistice, during which the Beast is engaged in
preparing for new Eruptions of war.
  I prefer addressing the friends of peace, assembled
at Mystic, through the Perry County Times.  Why should
a person 74 years of age travel all the way to Mystic,
Conn., to deliver an address when he can do it without
leaving his comfortable home?  It will cost but one
cent to send this message to Mystic, Conn.  It can be
read at the meeting and then published, not only in
the "Peacemaker," but in all daily and weekly
newspapers all over the globe.
  You have served as president of the Universal Peace
Union so long and so well you should now have an
assistant vice president to assist you in your grand
work.  I suggest to the friends of Peace Union
assembly at Mystic, Conn., that they choose Andrew
Carnegie for Vice President to assist you financially
and to choose a cabinet of able statesmen from the Old
and the new World.  You could then prepare a message
to the people of the world to be published in all
daily and weekly newspapers all over the globe.  If
such a message was prepared, to show the many
advantages to be obtained by a grand union of all
nations and governments, I think all good editors
would be glad to publish it.

                         Truly your friend,
                         John Rice

      CLEAN CANDIDATES, CLEAN CAMPAIGN

  The voters of the country can congratulate
themselves that in Secretary Taft and William Jennings
Bryan they have men of the highest character for
candidates for the presidency.
  Secretary Taft has been in public life for 27 years,
almost ever since he reached his majority.  He has
filled many official positions and has been in the
public eye year after year.  Aside from a splendid
record as judge, governor of the Philippines and
cabinet officer he has never been the subject of
criticism so far as his personal character is
concerned.  He measures up to the highest standard of
the clean, upright American citizen.
  While Mr. Bryan has spent but a short time in public
office he has been in the limelight continually since
his first nomination twelve years ago.  During all
this time he has been recognized as the leading
Democrat of the country.  In his extensive travels he
has come in contact with the American people, has
spoken in almost every city in the country, and is
without doubt, the best known private citizen of the
republic.
  Men may not, and many do not, agree with Mr. Bryan
in his views on governmental affairs but all agree
that his private life and personal habits are without
blemish.  He stands before the voters, in this
respect, with a clear record.
  So far as clean lives are concerned the two
candidates are on an equal footing and it is
gratifying to know that whichever is elected the
country will have a chief magistrate who is a clean
and honorable man and against whom, in this respect,
the finger of scorn and slander cannot be justly pointed.
  It is not on personal merits of the candidates that
voters must make their choice, but on the difference
in the policies which they represent.  It is
fortunate, indeed, the two parties have named as
standard bearers two men having such splendid personal
attributes as William Howard Taft and William Jennings Bryan.

think that man would not walk with the gun on his
shoulders from the time the law comes in till it is
out and his wife cutting the wood.

hitched in it abreast.  Leaving them stand he went
into the barn to make some room to store the binder
and just as he and his hireling, Lawrence Britcher,
were coming out, a heavily ladened limb broke off an
apple tree, just behind the team, falling on the
buggyhouse roof, which frightened the horses.  The two
gentlemen tried to catch them but too late and away
they went over a post-fence with the binder, taking
two posts with them.  After running out into the
field, the off horse being more active than the other
two, caused them to make a short turn, which upset the
binder, turning it completely upside down.  In that
way they circled around in the field for sometime,
when they again made a dash for another post-fence,
again jumping it, but the binder caught on the fence,
stopping them with it on one side and the horses on
the other.  The horses were not injured at all but the
binder, by dancing around the field upside-down, was
pretty badly wrecked.

  In week before lasts paper an old reader of the
TIMES discussed the word braker's in roads.  Now that
is a valuable subject and one of importance.  This
section should be viewed by the gentlemen and he would
find out what the word braker meant a great deal.  If
our side drains were used a little more and the water
was put across the road in tile instead of brakers it
would be more valuable.  But the brakers seem numerous
everywhere.  If our roads were filled up well in the
middle and more side drains we would not need so many brakers.

  OBITUARIES

MRS. MARTHA McCLURE GOTWALDT

>From the Nevada state Journal, July 2

  Mrs. Martha McClure Gotwaldt, a well-known resident
of this city, died yesterday morning at the hospital
in San Francisco, surrounded by her three children,
William McClure Gotwaldt, the well-known newspaper man
of this city and Goldfield, Mrs. Mary T. Hays and Miss
Gertrude Gotwaldt.

  The deceased was taken to the hospital Wednesday for
the purpose of undergoing an operation as a last
resort to save her life from the effects of a cancer
of long duration.

  It was several hours after the conclusion of the
operation before the invalid regained consciousness
from the anesthesia, but that night and Thursday she
appeared to be getting along as well as could be
expected. Every one felt encouraged.  Her advanced age
and the weakened condition were unequal to the strain
upon her system and she passed away  in the presence
of  her beloved children and devoted friends residing
in that city.  Mrs. Gotwaldt whose friends were many
and devoted, gained through a long and active life of
unselfish love and labor of her children and those
about her, moved some years ago from Pennsylvania to
California, where the family resided at Santa Rosa for
a few years.  Seven years ago they came to Reno, where
they have lived ever since.

  She was always interested in work of a religious and
benevolent character and unstained in her distribution
of charities and helpfulness to those in need.  She
was always doing good.  Her departure is a personal
loss to many in this city.

  The latter weeks of her life were filled with
suffering.  Five weeks ago she went to the coast in
hope of finding relief. There she was tenderly cared
for by loving friends, the Raindollar family Octavia
street, her daughter Mary going to her side ten days
ago.

  Monday night her son William and her daughter
Gertrude went to the city to be by her side at the tie
of the operation.

  [Mrs. Gotwaldt was a daughter of the late James
McClure.  She was a sister of Mrs. Charles A. Barnett,
of this place, and a cousin of Hon. A. K. McClure.
Her home was in this borough up until her removal to the west.--Ed.]

Passed From the Realms of Time to The Unknown World Beyond

MRS. LURETTA GLEN

  Shortly after half past one o'clock Wednesday
morning July 27, 1908, Mrs. Luretta Glenn departed
this life at her home on West Simpson street
Mechanicsburg, after a protracted illness with
Bright's disease.  For the past few months her
condition had been such as to give her friends no hope
for a recovery.  Throughout her long illness she bore
her affliction with a resignation that was remarkable
and when the final summons came it found her ready,
for she realized that her passing away meant for her
eternal life.
  She was a woman of strong home attachments, and even
when suffering most she seemed to forget herself and
had a thoughtful consideration for the welfare of
others.  No complaint was uttered, and often when in
the midst of the greatest pain she could be hear to
exclaim, Praise the Lord.  She was a consistent,
conscientious Christian woman, being a member for many
years of the Presbyterian church.  She lived in the
hope of the reward promised those who are faithful,
and while it is hard to give up mother and friend, yet
we should rejoice in the thought that it is well with
her.
  The deceased was aged 55 years, and is survived by
the following children, her husband having died some
years ago:  Mrs. Harvey Ritter, Loysville, Pa.; Mrs.
Thomas Snyder, Misses Ora and Margaret, Charles and
Harry, all of Mechanicsburg.  Funeral services were
held at the late home of the deceased Thursday evening
at 7:30 conducted by Rev. Thos. C. McCarrell Friday
morning the remains were brought to Landisburg, Perry
county, for interment.
Undertaker Dick had charge of the funeral.

MRS. HENRY WENTZ

  Sarah, wife of Henry Wentz, died Wednesday of last
week at her home at Andersonburg, aged 40 years, 2
months and 6 days.  She was ill only about two weeks,
being peculiarly affected.  Her right side was
paralyzed and she suffered symptoms of spinal
meningitis.  Four doctors were called in to attend her
and everything possible was done to relieve her, but
all was of no avail and death claimed her.  Mrs. Wentz
is survived by her husband and two young daughters.

  The funeral services were held on Saturday at 1 o'clock 
in the Lutheran church at Blain, Rev. Reighard officiating.

  Interment in the Blain cemetery.  The deceased was a
member of the Blain Lutheran church and was a woman of
beautiful Christian character.  She was a loving and
devoted wife and mother.

citizens of Spring township, died Sunday morning, at
his home near Falling Springs.  Mr. Wertz had not been
in good health for several years, being afflicted with

  Abraham Wertz was a son of Peter and Mary (Foose)
Wertz and was born July 9, 1837.  He was educated in
the public schools and worked at carpentering and
farming.  He also learned the tanning trade and for

Mary Graham and to them the following children were

Garber), Falling Springs; Mary, (Mrs. Howard
Lightner), Landisburg; Ida, (Mrs. Charles Armstrong),
Mechanicsburg; Charles, Landisburg; and Milton and
Edward, at home.  Mrs. Wertz and two brothers also survive.
  The deceased was a member of the Evangelical church
and was a man of high moral character, honest and
straightforward in all his dealings and was held in
the highest esteem by all who knew him.  He was a man
of intelligence, a pleasant, entertaining companion
and bore the respect and confidence of everybody in
his community.  We extend our sympathy to the bereaved family.
  The funeral was held this morning at 10 o'clock;
interment was made in Mt. Zion churchyard.  Charles
Kell, undertaker.
