The old Log College celebration nuder
the auspices of the Presbyterians of
North Philadelphia was begun on the
farm near Hartsville, Bucks county, Pa.,
where the college was originally located.
The farm is about twenty miles from
Philadelphia.
The exercises of the dsy were com
memorative of the founding of the Pres
byterian church in the United States.
Log College was established in 1720 by
William Tennenaut and flourished nu
til 1742, when Princeton college was
founded.
President Harrison and Mrs. Harris
on, Rev. J. W. Scott and Private Secre
tary Halford arrived from Washington
last evening and spent the night at Post
master General Wanauiakor's country
home in Jenkintonu. Early in the
morning the president and party started
for the place where the exercises were
held, driving in carriages over the old
York road, a distance of ahont eight
miles. The route along which the partv
traveled was profusely decorated with
flags and bunting, the farm houses,
fences and trees showing evidences of
the people's intention to make the pres
ident's journey a memorable one.
Tents had beeu erected on Tennenaut
farm, and an immense crowd from the
surrounding country and Philadelphia,
including many prominent Presbyterian
divines from all over the country, were
present,
At 11:20 the services of the day wore
opened with the reading of the scrip
ture nnd prayer.
The president leaning on the arm of
Mr. Wannamaker, entered the large tent
soon after sod was given a most enthu
astio welcome. They were followed by
others of the party, and all took front
seats on the raised platform. Governor
Beaver was also of tim party. As soon
as they were seated the first paper of
the day was read by llev. ). K.
Turner, of Hartsville, descriptive of
the founding of Log college nnd the
useful career of its founder. Ho was
followed by Bev. B. M. Pattison, of
Philadelphia, editorof the Presbyterian,
who delivered an address on "Log Col
lege Evangelists."
lievT Francis L, Putton, president of
Priueetown college, was next on the pro
gramme for nn address, hut as he wns
unahle to be present owingto the death
of his son, Bev. Dr. Murray, dean of
Princeton college, delivered the address
in his place.
Next came Bev. Richard McTlvnne,
president of Hampton Sydney college,
who read a paper on the "Influence of
Log College in the South." At the
conclusion of this address President i
Harrison was introduced. The assem
blage at this time numbered 25,000, nnd
this vast audience arose and repeatedly
cheered the piesidcnt as he came to the
front of the platform.
Mr. Harrison spoke substantially ns
follows: "I have ;had illustrated to me
to-day one of the consistent graces and
tenets of tha Presbyterian church, j
Nothing, I assnre yon, short of the
robust embodiment of the doctrine of
the perseverance of the saints in the per
son of our distinguished brother, the
chairman who has just introduced me,
could have overcome the difficulties
which seem to be in the way of those j
who attend celebrations. I have also
had illustrated to me, I regret to say, !
another of the results of peisistent Pres- 1
byterianism. I never at any time prom-1
ised to make an address here to-day. 1 j
thank you fcr your hospitable treat- i
nient of me and mine to-day, but I must
say I have much pleasure in being here,
for every impulse of honest pride which
stirs your hearts, moves mine. I am
glad to stand here at the source of a
grent movement. I have seen the Mis
sissippi river pouring out its enormous
flood and I have had the pleasure of
standing nt the source of the trreat Mis
souri, but what is the force aud energy
implied by these rushing streams when
compared with the movement inaugu
rated here? i Applause). I am glad to
ba here to hplp the celebration of these ,
great impulses springing from a small j
beginning, and yet how fur-reaching in j
lesults and effects. I don't want unduly
to exult tha Presbyterian church, anil j
yet I think historians whn have been I
untouched ly partisanship testify that
it ' has been magnificently pressed
onward. Let us take no backward steps. I
Let ns continue to merit the favor of
God aud do his work until the world
shall cease to move. Steadfastness is
our characteristic. Our enemies have
called it obstinacy, nnd there are occa
sions when even that trait and that char
acteristic have its services. Let us, my
friends, continue to be steadfast to faith
nurtured nnd strengthened on this
sacred spot."
Iu concluding his address the presi
dent said: "Let me kindly thank yo-j
for this most cordial and brotherly
greeting- Let me wish, that this day
will close ns auspiciously as it has
opened. Let me hope that the scholarly
address which yon hnve heard read from
the manuscript (lan"bter will convey
new thoughts to your minds and that
you will carry away from here pleasant
recollections of the day's celebration."
At the close of the president's address
there was a scene of the wildest excite
ment, for five minutes men and women
cheering and waving their handker
chiefs and in other ways showing their
approval of the chief executive's senti
ments. Tha While Haa TOorla;acd.
Washington, September 4. The re
cent agitation about building a new and
more expensive presidential mansion
has brought to the anrfaco an old mort
gage ou the white house that has been
forgotten or lost sight of for a long
time. Mr. W. B. Harlowe, secretary
and treasurer of tho Mount Vernon
Avenue association, is the man who
brings forwsrd the claim. In an inter
view about the proposed new exeoutive
mansion, he says:
"1 am glad to see the subject agitated,
and I lioie it will be taken ur and
pushed by congress. When it is, our
association, to whom the Virginia legis
lature has transferred its claim against
the government lor money borroed by
General Washington to build the pres
ent ttructiire, will present that claim
aud ask for payment for the old liefore
it commences the new. The claim,
which is for 120,000, has never beeu de
nied by the government, nor can it le,
for we have the promise of the govern
nient, mado through Washington, to
pay the money back to Virginia should
it ever be aide to do so. We will not
K-rhaps ask that the claim be paid in
money, but will probably suggest that
congress defray the expense of building
the proposed national highway to Monnt
Vernon, if they agree, we will transfer
the Virginia mortgage on the white
house as a contribution to the project."
The rsneiiloM or Illinois Niain,
Chicago, III., Sept. 5. Mr. Henry P.
Lloyd, formerly on the editorial stair of
a Chicago morning paper, has beeu in
vestigating the condition of the desti
tute miners nt Spring Valley for several
days aud makes an appeal through the
press in their behalf. He says there is
greater need than ever for help for these
people. There are thousands there suf
fering for food, clothing and medicine.
Most of the sufferers are children nnd
most of the children are little ones.
There are families whore tha adults and
children are greviously sick and with
out medical attendance and medicines,
because there is no money to pay for
them. The men nt Spring Valley, Mr.
Lloyd says, are not inkers. They are
victims of two lockouts. Last Christmas
l,0vJ of them were shut ont of work by
an order closing part of the mines for
the rest of the winter. The other miners
divided their work with these unfortu
nates. This lasted until April. Then
the community, exhausted by this
strain of supporting three men
and their families on the earnings
of two men received its final blow.
April 20 without previous notice nil the
miners were told to take away their
tools and the mines were closed. Thoy
had no thought or plan of striking.
They were not even given the chance of
working for lower wages. From the
day they received this notice until Mr.
W. L. Scott, of Eric, made his recent
offer to them of a reduction of wages
from 00 cents a ton to the equivalent of
55 cents or less, coupled with a demand
that they give up their labor unions,
tlieso men have been wailing in volun
tary idleness to learn what was to be
their fate. "Before the lockout they
earned, according to the figures they
gave me," says Mr. Lloyd, "about S-iO a
month, according to the figures given
by an ollicial of the company they earn
ed about $43. If theie were their earn
ings at 00 cents a ton what would they
be at 55 cents?
"This community of 5,000 persons in
the state of Illinois is in the throes of
starvation," adds the appeal, "and has
been so for months. It is a public scan
dal nnd catastrophe which would seem
to demand as prompt and thorough ac
tion from the government and people as
the Johnstown disaster, aud I trust the
press and public will use all their influ
ence to request the governor to recog
nize the emergency by all the action
within his power. There must be funds
at his disposal such an emergencv, A
personal inspection of this battle of
fi.QOO persons with deatii, would, J nin
convinced, spur the governor to instant
action. Whatever the merits of the dis
pute as to wages, the starving must bo
fed aud the child red saved."

Atlanta, Ga., September C In his
address to the united veterans' confed
erate association, on the occasion of his
accepting the command, General John
B. Gordon nllnded to the objects cf the
organization, namely to establish social,
literary and benevolent ties among those
who had shared dangers and sacrifices,
no political or religious questions being
permitted to enter. It was ennobling
for a people, continued the general, to
honor tho memory of heroes whether
crownfd with success or eonseemterl
with defeat. The republic has no class i
of defenders more true anil devoted I
than the ex soldiers of the south and j
their worthy descendants. Whither or I
not the southern people may hope to
witness another civilization which shall '
equal that begun by Washington and
ended with their Lee, it is certain that
devotion to their glorious past is the
surest guarantee of future unity and the
strongest claim they can present to the
confidence and respect of other sections.
'The organization will transmit the past
glories of the dead confederacy into in
spirations for future service to the living
republic. It will gather a witnesses for
history the facts that shall doom false
hood to die that truth may live. It will
cultivate national as we'll as southern
fraternity. It will spread tho sentiment
w hich would write on the grave of every
soldier on either side: "11 ere lies a hero,
ft martyr to the light as his conscience
conceived it."

London-, September 8. Little by lit
tie tho German army is bring increased
and one army corps after mother is be
ing added toils effective strength. .Since
tho opening of the year no less than font
corps have been added, and now the em
peror has given orders for the formation
of the fifth, with headquarters nt

This move is evidently intended
as a reply to Russia, wlo continues to
mass troops upon her western frontier,
nnd in this way Emperor William serves
notice upon the czar that he does not
mean 10 uo caugnt napping. The Ger
man press comments upon this latest
niove of the emperor as full of ignin
caiice. It is puiuted ont that contrary
to the usual custom in such cases
there is no attempt at concealment.
Jbe emperor seems to have taken
special pains to make the full
est possible publicity nji to
his plan to mass n considerable force on
Russia's frontier, and this the German
press accept as a note of defiance. The
more sensational of the Berlin papers
go so far as to say that this indicates a
determination on the part of the emper
or to force Russia's hand. Should Rus
sia reply by further increasing her force

Washinoton, Sept. !. The subject of
desertiou from the nimv ""H be treated
at length in the forthcoming reKjrt of
the secretary of war. It is one that has
had Secretary Proctor's earnest consid
eration from the beginning as well as
that of the adjutant general's staff.
Various changes in barrack life, with a
view to increasing the soldier's comfort
and interest in his command have been
instituted, n tublvtho consolidated mess
nnd canteen svnteni. Thee have woiked
well where tried aud the result has been
that the percentage of desertions has
been decrease.! since 18i.
Of the desertions 05 per cent, occnr
among the men serving their first ami
second vear of enlistment. In May last
Major Theodore Sehwau, assistant adju
tant general, under instructions from
Secretary Proctor, made a tour of in
spection of the recruiting depots at 1 u
vi Is Island, X. Y., Columbus, O., mid
Jefferson Barracks, Mo. Tli3 major is
himself a soldier who came up from the
ranks, and his report to the a Ijutant
geiienal contains numerous suggestions,
including thedralt of a bill prepared by
him last winter alter a close study of
the situation, calculated in Ins opinion
to lessen tho evil of desertion. Ma;or
Schwan says:
"Whntever causes of discontent have
at one time existed, such as the lack of
provisions or care for the physical com
fort and needs ff the enlisted soldier or
unreasonable demands upon and unfair
or harsh treatment of him. have been
removed so far ns it is in the power of
tho military authorities to do so, and
the cases are rare where tho failure of
the government to make good its obli
gations cau bo truthfully alleged ns af
fording even the semblance of a jusli
fication for desertion."
Among other things, Major Schwan's
bill provides safeguards against read
mission to the service of "repealers ' or
professional deserters. Another pro
vision of the bill is that one-third of a
soldier's Pn.V for the first year shall be
retained until discharg, and forfeited
if ho does not servo ont his term.
It also provides for the adop
tion of the British custom of permitting
enlisted men to purchase their dis
charge. Acting Adjutant General MoKeever
and other oflicers of the staff have, at
Secretary Proctor's request, submitted
memoranda on the sublectof desertions.
Acting Adjutant General MeKecversays,
in his opinion, the chief causes of deser
tion are: Disappointment nt the reali
ties of military life; the cinpl'ij-meiit of
the soldier on laborers' work without
extra pay; the inequality of punish
ments as inflicted by courts-marshal;
bad company administration; the tyrra
ny sometimes practiced ou enlisted men
by oflicers, and more especially by tu t
sergeants; and above all. tho too often
unnecessary restraints imposed on kiI
diers. He also believes the largest num
ber of deserters are American born.
The following remedial measure are
suggested: Limit the term of service in
the first enlistment to three years, in re
enlistment to five years, grant discharges
ou pnyment of certain sums, graded un
cording to the length of service; dis
charge men found to be incorrigibly
bad, without character, nnd thus bar
their re-entry into the service; secure a
graded code of punishment for the
guidance of courts -martini; secure a bet
ter class of non-commissioned oflicers,
nud especially first sergeants, by increas
ing their pay: make the arrest and pun
ishment of deserters more certain than
at present by increasing the reward.
THAT EXTRA 8KHHIOK.
The Evening Capital quotes "a prom
inent United States senator" as follows:
"I saw the president the other day and

'Mr President, 1 don't wish to bo im

I want to know so that I can perfect niv I

as he said: 'The members and seniitois
from tho new states could not get here
before ths 10th of November nnd I I
think it would be very foolish to call j
congress to meet just two weeks in nd-
vance of tho time for tho extra session. I
1 nrn still in doubt about the extra ses- j
sion, as the cabinet has not yet discussed '
the question in meeting.' I
"Attorney General Miller informed j
me after I had seen the president that i
