Remrkable Scenes Durim a Three Days' Festv% is an America,, Catholic Church. j.New York Herald.] PITTSBURG, Pa., June 13, l889.-Troy Hill, in Allegheny City, was to-day the Mecca to which thousands of the faith ful journeyed. This is the day of St. Anthony of Padua, the patron saint of Father Yollinger's church, in which are some of the bones of the saint, and it is on thisday that Father Mollinger begins sonie of his almost miraculous cures. From-ev direction this morning came the I udeof believers, among them being nany Protestants. The lame and the blind were there; puny, sickly childhood, halt and deformed youth and diseased and afflicted age. les hobbled up the long flight of o e church;sick persons slowvly the hill, resting now and then, uffering without a murmu'r, and y and hopeful when the church reached. They came on crutches, carriages, carried on pillows and beds, a suffering and pitiful but hoping and faithful multitude. Almost every city in the country was represented, and all believed they would go away benefited if not cured. By six o'clock the church was crowded with decrepit and diseased people, by eight the yard was full, and at noon it was almost impossible to pass along the street in front of the church. PERFECT FAITH. The perfect faith of the entire crowd was wci.-rful. As each cripple or sick person~ passed you could hear on all sides:-"Oh, wait till Father Mol linger see you ! He will help you and make you well." . The reverence and love with which the Reverend Father was greeted by the mob was touching to witness. Wyhenever he appeared at the door of the church to speak a comforting word to thecrowd, every head was uncovered and every voice blessed him. The scene in and around the church was most solemn and impressive. People kneeled on the bare ground and asked his blessing. There were tears sad smiles, hopes, but no fears, and perfect in the breasts of all. From early morning till mass, at ten o'clock, Father Mollinger ministered to the faithful. and the results in some were almost miraculous. His thod is different with various cases. times he uses no medicine,. but hP rrmed limb; in - other cases -he uses medicine alone and in some ; eases both. He pretends to do no mira cles; he simply finds out the malady and having a wonderful knowledge of medicine and human ills, prescribes and invokes God's and the Saint s all healing power to aid him. He will treat none who have not faith. Nor does he pretend to make a complete cure-at once; in some cases months must elapse, and in others the cures are almost in stantly. SOME EXTRAORDINARY CURES. Among the many wonderful things witnessed was the almost complete curing of a Miss Parks, of Philadelphia, of epilepsy. ,Father Molilnger told her ithat in three days she would be entirely well. When she entered the church she was a twitching, helpless woman, who had to be carried in. She walked out with~scarcely any perceptible evi -dence of her trouble. A lady from New York so blind as to be unable to walk without being led, walked from the church alone and unaided, and said *she could distinguish many objects, while before she was totally blind. A ~womnan who has been boarding with Mrs. Buck in Troy Hill for some time has been unable to speak a word for two years. Father Mollinger gave her -some medicine, talked to her for a time, and she finally called him by name. A girl who had been compelled to use crutches went in. Father Mol lingei after prescribing for and work ing with her, said, "Put down yourj crutches and co a momnent,:laid down her crutches and with feeble steps made her way toward him. He said she would be entirely well in a short time. A Mrs. Winston, who was last year cured of cancer, and with her a mother with a little boy were present to re -ceive his bles,ing. Last year he had cured the boy of a hip disease which had afflicted him for years. At ten o'clock mass was said, and the hundreds in the church and the thousands outside received the blessing after the mass. Each one in the crowd Thad a bottle, which was filled with holy water and taken home. Every house near the church is filled with the sick, who will remain during the three days of the feast. A FAITH-INSPIRED CROWD. Several times Father Mollinger came to the door to help carry in.an affiicted one. While there were many distress ing cases and sights, the happy look of supreme faith on each face was inspir ing and thrilling. A Mrs. Robinson, of Philadelphia, who last year was cured of hip disease, was there to-day in charge of a protestant friend afflicted in the same way, and said she would take her home well. These are only a few of the thousands of instances of the faith shown to-day. It is safe to say that 6,000 people were in and around the church, and a nmore devout and faith-inspired assemblage h..- --'"*n seen. People kneeled - - Buoyar>rck or the bare ground doubtlesing, and while weep He had in would smile and bless The highe&e passed among them. .' But in a m%nditions oftpeople were by the side of the beggared cripple; ti suffering, diseased victims clasped tl hand of a helping friend, and all ti multitude was filled with the one al sorbing belief that Father Molling could and would cure all ills. For three days this feast will col tinue and it is safe to say there ai many. thousands who will go hon benefiited, if not cured. STORY OF ST. ANTHONY. St. Anthony, of Padua, was a natiN of Lisbon, in Portugal, born -in ti year 1195. Helwas the grandson of t king of Portugal. He was highly. edi cated and possessed a nervous and eol vincing eloquence, with whieh he ele trifled the slothful religious orders 4 his day. He joined the Francisca Friars, and was engaged in washin dishes in the kitchen when a delegi tion of Dominicans visited the mona tery. Being commanded to address th community he begged to be excuse< but the superior-insisted on a compl ance when he spoke with such el quence, erudition and unction as astoi ished the whole company. He had polite address;-anreasy carriage-and very pleasing countenance. His voi< was clear and agreeable and he was tl master of all the arts of persuasion, I died in 1231 at the early age of thirt] six years. His remains were placed i a magnificent monument in a churc at Padua, built in his memory. Thirt years after his death, upon the remov2 of his remnains to the new monumen his flesh was found to be all consume excepe his tongue, which was found t be incorrupt, red and as it was whil he was living. His tongue is now kel in a costly case in the church in Paduf CAN FAITH CURE? [Editorial New York Herald.] It win do you no harm to read a shoi article in another column entitle "Faith Cures." You may not accel the theory advanced,. but that make no difference. The question at issue i not one of theory, but of fact. Here are six thousand people, poc folk mostly, who gather in and aroun the church of father Mollinger. The have faith in his miraculous powei It is not ordinary faith with a dash c doubt in it, like a drop of ink in a gia: of water, but faith. extraordinary an implicit. To cure nervous diseases withou medical appliances is one thing, but t cure hip disease by a touch of the han .--iPhlia daver y * n 1 is said that the Father sometimes give mredicine, but mostly depends on th mental and moral attitude of his ps tient.

No iatte.r what else we do we'll bi Father Mollinger godspeed in his mil sion, with the hope that he will cur the world, by any means, of all the ill to which flesh is heir. Marriages of Saints anad sinners. For it is to-be observed that tb saints are always, or almost always unmarried, writes Andrew Lang in tb North American for June. If eithe husband or wife is filled with the an bition to be a saInt, misery is assured Christian deserted Mrs. Christian an the children. It is a mean act, bt what was he to do? What is any on to do who feels a vocation for perfe< tion, after marrying, in another mooi as one who plays tipeat, drinks bee. and dances with the girls. This fruitful sourne of unhappiness i married life; it matters not whethe you take the case of St. Elizabeth< Hungary, or of the second wife of th elder Weller. Where one partner is saint and the other a "wessel," happ ness flies out of the door. We are ust it4vited to sympathize with th "wesel," but I am not certain the saint does not as much deserve ou compassion. In other cases the sain liness is common to both partners bu the pattern of excellence differs. The we have the woful predicament of Mrs Elsmere, who was good, but on th old lines, while the Rev. Elsmere wi good, too, but "advanced"-a reader < Strauss and Renan and Baur. A Cool Conductor.

The President said to have Expressed His Lack of Confidence in the Converts. [News and Courier.] - WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The Presi e dent has accepted Marshal Boykin's e resignation, and his successor will prob ably be announced this week. Thos. E. Miller, the notorious colored politi e cian, from South Carolina, had a ,e lengthy conversation with the Presi P dent on the subject to-day, and the lat ter stated that be was very much grati fied by the result of his inquiries con cerning George I. Cunningham, who was the "great unknown" referred to in my dispatch of last night. At the g suggestion of the President Tom Miller wrote the following letter and filed it with the attorney general: WASHINGTON, June 17, 1S89. e Hon. W. H. H. Miller, Attorney i, General-Sir: In the nterest of those i who have for many years stood against . the assaults of the Deniocrcy with all - its advantages in South Carolina, in or a der that the :principles that they be a leved-sr&uid ., r<Tpr.essima-r e e ballot-box through the medium of a e Republican organization, I now appeal .e to you for the reeognition of those men . who were true to their principles, hon a est in their convictions, and whose b worth and party services entitle them v at this hour to share in the benefits of 1t a Republican victory. The appoint ment of a marshal for the district of d South Carolina will be made upon your o recommendation. e It is not necessary to state its impor t tance to the people to you. It is im portant more particularly because the Democracy of my state are more ag gressive than at any period since 1876. A number of names have been present ed to you for your consideration, many of these good men, a few unwor thy, while there is a class who regard s the office as a species of spoils to be s bartered and awarded to those who can make the gre,test promise of fu r ture success, without any acts of the present or past to prove that they have ' merit or standing, or that they are worthy of belief. The principles of Re publicanism to the people of South s Carolina are more dear than chimerical ideas of success, founded upon theories that are plausible only to those who do t not know of their own knowledge of ? the situation and the suirounding cir cumstances. s of the Administration has brought to e the surface men more conspicuous for their former brutality, their disregard for election laws in the pasty and their I misrepresentations of to-day, than for any merit they possess. These men e can be appointed, called Republicans or Democrats, but they cannot secure the respect or the confidence of the pec 2 ple, either white or colored. r I have, as is natural to all .mcn, my personal preferences. I utterly disre 3 gard them in this appeal, being con tent to urge upon you the wisdom and e necessity of appointing a Republican, sone whose record has been in accord with the Republican party and whose appointment will encourage men to be active in properlyi advancing their par e ty interest. In reviewing the candidates .as I know them, I would say that the emost deserving in point of ability and service is E. M. Brayton. Among Re publicans that can be named not act ive in politics, but whose principles are true and whose influence as a private citizen would secure hinm credit every e wvhere, the Hon. George I. Cunning ham, of Charleston, S. C.,-a mian who has been twice Mayor of that city, and .whose appointmenit would be accept able to all classes-not a candidate in the sense of seeking the oflice, yet Ilam satisfied that he would accept the posi tion if by so doing he could aid the ad e ministration or improve the condition a of the Republican party i South Car olina. Respectfully. THos. E. MILLER. eDuring the conversation the Presi tdent is reported to have expressed him r self quite freely on the subject of the In ~dependent movement in South Caroli na, and intimated that the Inidepen dents are such for spoils only. .Senator Chandler.

Iy An Article of Food of Which the Iute In - dians are Very Fond. When, in 1S49, the California gold "s fever was making itself felt throughout 1 the country, J. ~ M. Keeler was a young a- man living in the East, says the New rs York Tribune. He was not proof against the-impulse to seek his fortune in the to mines, and came to New York with the I hope of finding partners. In this he was se not disappointed, and with a number of s. others he chartered a New' Orleans a packet, stocked it with provisions to to last a year and a half, sailed around it -Cape Horn, and reached the Golden es Gate in safety. Since then Mr. Keeler >r- has lived almost continously in Cali fornia, but is now visiting this city, and n has brought with him many fine min eralogical specimens. After showing these to a Tribune reporter the other day, he handed to the latter a bottle, saying: "Do you know what these things are?" In the bottle were a dozen l- or more dark-colored objects, shriveled, r but juicy looking. The average length e was about one inch, and they had the appearance of luscious raisins. The 'repor : nsed that was what they were. The gorman smiled, too as he said: "No, they are not; they're worms." Then he went on to say that they were considered a great luxury by the Piute Indians. "I call them the nut pine worms, be cause they fed on the nut pine tree; what the scientific name is I do not 1, .know. On the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in Southern - California, between Bodle and Bishop's >r Creek, is a great stretch of these nut pine trees. They bear a small nut ex tremely rich in oil. So rich are they that you don't warrt to eat many of 1 them. In August the ground under the trees begins to be covered with green worms as thick as a man's finger and from one and a half to two and a half inches in length. The worms soon grow wings andfly into the trees. The worm, which should now be dig nified by the name of butterfly, does " not leave the tree, but soars about among the branches extracting the oil " from the nuts. In about a month the body is full of oil-so full, in fact, that i. the entrails, have been forced out, a Then the wings fall off. "It is about this time that the Piutes make their appearance and camp . among the trees. They come in large . numbers and provided with sacks. The the trunk and falls to the- ground. . Incidentally it falls into a trap pre e pared by the Indisns. To prevent the . worms from escaping they dig trenches having concave sides. I have known of bushels of worms being taken from one of these trenches. When the crop of worms has been harvested the In dians build fires on flat stones or the hard earth. When the bed has become ~fhot, not hot enough to roast, the worms -. are spread upon it and dried. They are then placed in the sacks and car ried to the Piute camps. A triend of mine once told me that he had one season estimated that fifty tons of these worms were gathered and dried?" "How do the Indians use the worms?" "In soups. The Piutes seem never to tire of soup. They have it almost every day. A buck is allowed two worms and a squaw, one for each dish s of soup. Sometimes a gallant Indian gives a pretty or popular squaw one of ~his portion. The worms are not eaten until the soup is consumed, they being 'reserved as a final tid-bit. I have stasted the worms and find them very Spalatable. They are rich anfd oily like the nut upon which they feed." For July. . Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for t July has a picturesque and all illus e trated article, entitled "Into Oklahoma e with the Boomers," giving much in h teresting information about the settle y ment of the Promised Land, as well as of the adjoining Cherokee Strip. "The Samoa Cyclone" vividly depicts the great naval calamity of last March, which has been compared to the his toric destruction of the Spanish Ar mada. Another notable contribution to this number is the account of the as e nt of Mount Ararat, the Biblical d"Noah's Mountain," by the Russian SImperial Geographical Commission, iwhose notes and photographs were ~specially secured for Frank Leslies Popular Monthly. "The Dynamo" is a timely popular science article.

(Monthly Rep. of the Dep't. of Agri.] The Commissioner of Agriculture re cently received inquiries, from parties intending to establish canning factories in this state,'for information on that subject. They desired to know what kind of machinery was required, cost of same, where it could be purchased and such other facts as would enable them to construct the factory. In obtaining the information desired the following letter was received from Hon. J. M. Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture, and it contains so much that is interesting on this subject that it is published here with: U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICTLTURE, WASHINGToN, D. C., Apr. 23, '89. Hon. A. P. Butler, Columbia. S. C.: Sir-I have your letter of the 10th inst., asking for publications on can ning fruits. This department has issu ed no special publication on the subject but a brief notice of the industry was printed in the annual report for 1878, at page 582, but the department's supply of this issue is exhausted. Presuming that the informationis wanted to guide in starting a factory I append a few agp-Q-ich_1may be serviceable to you. The outfit required for canning pur poses is very simple, consisting of a large wooden vat, in which water can be rapidly made to boil by means of steam. This vat is provided with a basket made of small;iron rods, hung by a tackle to a crane. This basket is to hold the c%ns, and is-so *arranged that it may be promptly lowered into or raised from the water. The cans are made on the plaee .by expert tin -workers. They have at the top a circu lar opening to admit the fruit to be can ned, which is provided with a cover or cap that may be soldered on quickly. Whatever contrivance will facilitate the paring or otherwise prepare the fruits, etc., are provided but a large share of this work is done by hand. The cans are filled with fruit, shaken down as solidly as possible, and then fill ' up with weak syrup or other fluid, which drives out all the air. The next step is to boil the cans in water for a shorter or longer time. The iron basket is filled with the cans, and low ered into the water in the tank, where the boiling is continued for a few min utes or for several hours, more or less, according to the kind under treatment. may keep, requires to be "processed," as the boiling is called, for a given time, how long appears to be the chief secret of tne business. In some cases the ar ticles is processed the required time and allowed to cool when it is finished. In other cases, green corn for example, the caps of the cans are provided with a vent hole, and with this left open they are boiled for two hours. This is a general idea of the method, in which there is a variety-.of detail. It is a trade which must be learned, and cannot be at once picked up. It would be haz ardous to engage in it on a large sciale without the assistance of a competent and skillful foreman. The processes .for the diff'erent kinds of fruits may be formulated as follows, although different factories vary some what in details: Peachesand pears-After paring and coring, put amonst them sufficient su gar to make them palatable for present eating-about three or four pounds to each bushel; let them stand awhile to dissolve the sugar,not using any water; then heat to a boil and continue the boiling with care from twenty to thirty minutes, or sufficiently long to heat through, which expels the air. Raspberries, blackberries, whortle berries, currants, ch erries and plums need not be boiled over ten to fifteen minutes, using sugar to make palata ble in all cases, as it must be put in at some time, and it helps to preserve the fruit. For strawberries put a half pound of sugar for each pound of fruit, and pro ceed as for other berries. For tomatoes scald and peel them as for cooking; then scald or rather boil for about fifteen minutes only, and can as above. Large factories are profitably estab lished in many states, both east and west. There is no difficulty in disposing of the products, which enables the transaction of a large business on a comparativly small capital. As the work is done in the summer, a cheap building is all that is necessary, and the entire plant need not cost over $3,000. With the facilities that money would provide the factory would give employ ment to about one hndred women aud girls. Cans cost about two cents each, and the labor, labels and boxing is comiparatively trifling. The profits are: * d to range from twenty-five to forty per cent. Respectfully. J. M. Rusx, S ecretary. 'What is Home without a Housekeeper." is the degraded view taken by a gruff old bachelor, of the holy office of wife and mother. And yet how many mothers and wives there are who are simply 'housekeepers," household drudges, whose life is worked out while disease is let in, during the ceaseless round of washing and scrubbing and dusting and baking and cooking. The same clothes and floors and furniture and dishes are gone over mnd over until the heart is sick and the body is broken with worry and disease. Amid this toil nervousness begins, bad digestion, irregularities of the reproductive or gans, prolapsus or other displacements, popularly known as "female weak ness," sick headache and a host of fe male complaints follow on For all such take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre -scriptioni, the only remedy sold. by druggists, under a positive guarantee, from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction or money will be re funde RATHER AN UNDESIRABLE CHILD Its Mother a Dangerous Maniac and iti Father a Pauper, but it Finds Friends. [Yorkville Enquirer.] On the 15th day of last July the wiff of Jerome T. Cook, who lived on Crow der's creek, near Henry's Knob, in thi: county, while insane, shot and killed her nine year old son,Samuel M. Cook, and. was in the act of attempting to cul the throat of a younger child, when fortunately a person passing the house and hearing the screams of the children went in and rescued the child, taking precaution to prevent further mischief from the demented woman, whose husband was absent from home at the time. After judicial proceedings, which were promptly instituted, the unfortu. nate woman was committed to the asy lum as a confirmed lunatic. After her transfer to' that institution she gave birth to a female child, which will be six months-old the 4th of next month. The husband is in destitute circum stances and partially blind, and the asylum authorities gave notice last week to the commissioners of this county that the child was old enough to be removed from that institution, and requese orocurea home for it. Mr. R. A. Parish went' i urmbia Thursday and returned on Sat urday with the child in charge of a nurse. On Sunday'morning, underin structions, he took the chiid to the poor house, but the keeper declined to receive it, his principal reason being that there were no female members of his family to bestow upon it the proper care. The child was brought back to Yorkville, the asylum nurse remaining with it at the residence of Mr. Thomas O'Farrell, until yesterday when, before a regular meeting of the county com missioners, the child was given to Mrs. Dr. D. C. Atkinson, who had expr.essed a desire to adopt it, she promising that it shall have a comfortable, pleasant hodie. The child, which was quite a favorite with the officers and attend ants of the asylum, was known by them as "Dolly," but Mrs. Atkinson has bestowed upon it the name of Marie Cook Atkinson. The Will of the Late Dr. Andrew Simonds. CHARLESTON, June 17.-The will of the late Dr. Andrew Simonds was ad praisement has not yet been ere can be only guessing at the total value, which is estimated at from $1,300,000 to $2,500.000. The Probate Judge says it is the best 'drawn will and most evenly distributed estate that, perhaps, has ever been filed in the office. Here are the terms: Each one of the children, three sons and one daughter, gets the following personal property, viz: 100 shares First National Ban2k stock, 400 shares gas stock, 25 shares Piedmont Factory stock, 25 shares Pelzer Factory stock, 10 shares Graniteville Factory stock, 25 shares City Railway Company stock, $15,000 South Carolina Railway first mortgage bonds, $5,000 State of South Carolina brown consols, $5,000 city of Charleston 7 per cent bonds, $5,000 city of Charleston 4 per cent bonds, $4,000 Northeastern. Railroad first mortgage bonds, $2,500 Northeastern Railroad second mortgage bonds. The face value of these securities ag gregates about $63,000, but as all of these are gilt-edged and most are worth from 2.5 to 50 per cent above par, it will be seen that these bequests repre sent above $75,000 or $80,000 each. In addition, each devisee is given a life estate on about $100,000 worth of real estate with remainder to their heirs. All the children are treated exactly alike. Mrs. Louise Augusta Cunning. ham of Abbeville, a sister of the de ceased, gets a legacy of $10,000, and Mrs. Floride Bali, another sister, a plantation in Yashlobusha County, Miss., Mrs. Simonds gets all the rest and the residue of the real and personal estate for ever and absolutely, includ ing the Simonds mansion on South Battery, and its furniture, paintings, etc. The executors are the wife and two eldest sons of the deceased. The will was executed in June, 1884. The Price ef Sugar. [From Bradstreet's.] Sugar costs only one-fourth as much now as it did in 1789. and tea from one seventh to one-fifth. The decline shown in the price of starch is prodigious, while the decrease in the cost of soap is fully two thirds on the common and castile varieties. In short, one can buy quite as much corn, or more, for the same money as when Washington was inaugurated, the same quantity of ham, about four times as much sugar and more than five times as much tea,.fully twenty-two times a much starch and three times as much soap. A furthei comparison shows that pig-iron at $11 per ton, as at present, costs but one ninth as much as in 1789, and thai nails at 2 cents a pound are but one eighth or one-ninth the price credited to them one hundred years ago. With~ these comparisons in mind it becomet significant to read that the average price of day labor at the date referred to was 50 cents. We may admit thai the corresponding wages to day are $1 50, which points to the payment foi services having increased nearly three times within the century, while many of the real necessities of life have de creased in price in a corresponding oi ill gear ratio.
