His Quiet Sabbath Day in the Penn- sylvania Village. President MeKinley went to Somerset, Pa., yesterday to pass a restful day, and he certainly accomplished that purpose. Prov- idence provided fine weather; in fact, the most delightful day of the season there. The Presid2nt rose early in the morning and | passed an hour walking about town with his brother Abner. Here and there he met an old acquaintance and stopped for a short talk. The President's determination to at- tend th> morning service at the Mothodist Episcopal Church became known early, and by the usual time for opening the service every seat except those reserved for th presidential party was occupied. Mrs. Abner McKinley and her daughter Mabel drove to the church in their carriage and Abner McKinley and his distinguished brother walked. The President's wife did not attend church. The people of the town have se2n‘the President go to church be- fore, yet the sight is a rare one for the mn, and many took positions along the strec to witness it. This caused the Chief Exec- utive to raise his hat frequently along the Way, and he bowed gracefuily to-tne right and left as he passed along. The pene at the church opened with Mrs. Abner Me- Kinley at the organ, a fin2 pipe instrument presented to the church by her daughter Mabel. After the voluntary the audience rose and sang “Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow.” ‘This was followed by a hymn, “Come, Thou Almighty King.” Aftsr a prayer offered by Rev. Mr. Youngson, who is visiting the pastor of the church, Miss Mabel McKinley, the President's niece, sang a solo, her mother playing the accompani- ment. During the r2ndition of the solo the Pres- ident’s eyes were fixed upon “Little Sun- shine,” as he sometimes calls his miece, and his enjoyment of the song was evident. After the singing of another hymn, “O Thou in Whose Presence,” the pastor, Rev. Cameron, preached, taking his text’ from the iwenty-first verse, seventeenth chapter of the gospel according to Luke, “The king- dom of God is within you.” ‘The sermon occupied about thirty-five minutes, and there was nothing in it to indicate that it had been prepared for the presidential ear.

The Wedding Will Take Place in London—Pleasant Mention of Well-Known People. The engagement of Miss Sickles, daugh- ter of General Sickles, to Mr. Dayrell Creckanthorpe, third secretary of the Brit- ish embassy at Madrid, has been announced in London and Madrid.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., August 29, 1898. The annual exhibition of the Montgomery County Agricultural Society, which will commence here tomorrow, promises, from present appearances, to be the largest amd best ever given under the auspices of the society, and also one that will show to ad- vantage the resources of Montgomery as a farming, trucking, fruit growing and stock raising county. The officers of the society have been engaged in per- fecting their arrangements for the exhibi- tion, and, judging from the way in which the farmers, manufacturers and dealers in agricultural supplies and all other interest- ed parties are responding, their labors will meet with a fitting reward. The ladies of the county also appear to be taking a lively interest in the matter, and the display of home-made fabrics, ‘fancy neediework, plants and flowers’ will doubtless excel that of any previous year.
