Death of Capt. Mayo.
Capt. U.S. Mayo, formerly a resident
of Cameron and Emporium, died very
suddenly on Monday morning, May
9th, at New Brighton, N. Y., of par
alysis of the heart. The deceased was

this place, and was the first superin
tendent of the Cameron Iron & Coal

J. R. Buckwalter's Prediction.
Years ago our former citizen, John
It. Buckwalter, while attending a pub

would come when we would see the
hills that surround Emporium terraced.
His prediction has proven true. W.
H. Howard has cleared and stumped
the hill back of his residence, terraced
the ground and placed it in first-class
condition for cultivation.

NEW YORK REGIMENTS.

NEW YORK, May 12.—Governor
Black and his military secretary re
turned from Camp Black at Hemp
stead to the Fifth Avenue hotel and
expressed himself as delighted with
the result of his inspection of both the
Hempstead and Peekskill camps.
The governor said he had received a
telegram at Peekskill forwarded him
from Albany from the secretary of war
asking that two New York regiments
be dispatched to Tampa. The regi
ments will be sent as they are mus
tered in. The mater is one of detail
and has passed by the governor's im
mediate supervision. The Seventy
first regiment and the Sixty-ninth reg
iment will probably be the regiments
to go.

to the refusal of the Indies charily i

High School Alumni Banquet.
The banquet given by the High j
j School Alumni, last Friday evening,
in the City Hall, was one of the inter
jesting features of the Commencement
season. The officers oi the Alumni, of
which Mr. Don Larrabee is President,
deserve credit for the success of the j
affair.
Members of the different classes be- j
gan to arrive at 9:00 p. m., and at 10:00 j
| o'clock when the president sounded
' the alarm that the tables were now
| ready and a few hungry members were
wanted to dispatch the victuals, more j
than 70 people were gathered in the
spacious parlors of the Mountaineer ]
llosc Company. The members headed j
by Geo. Walker marched to the ban- j
quoting hall to the delightful strains of I
the Mandolin Club. After an hour of |
| feasting and merriment the toast master |
| Prof. 11. P. Stouffer announced toasts I
as the next part of the programme.
Mrs. J. P. McNarney responded to
j the toast, "The First, '[ neatly describ-
I ing the work of the first class. Miss
j Bonham, '9O, on "Pupil vs Teacher,"
! pleasantly compared the recollections
|of a school girl and a school
| teacher. Miss Hogan, '9l, on the
"Pleasant Recollections of the Boys
in Our Class," had such pleasant
memories of school days that all the
boys of her class, who were present at
the banquet, must have enjoyed it
greatly. Mr. Geo. Taggart on "Rem
iniscences of School Days" regretted
that he had nothing unusual to describe
as he was always the best boy in
school. Mr. E. J. Rogers, '94, toasted
! on "Our New Surroundings," compar
j ing the new building and its conven
i iences to the old building and diseuss
| ing school progress in general. Mr.
j Orlo Jordan, '95, in his toast "The Old
| Maids' Class," regretted the fact that
! the members of the class are so slow in
J matrimonial ventures. There is no
hope for the girls for another decade,
las 1900 is not a leap year. Mr. Jordan
has promised to help them out of the
j predicament and thus remove the stig
|ma that rests on the class. The toast,
; "The Greatest of them All," by Miss
| Cleary, meant a class not largest in
! numbers but in intellect. The eharac
j teristies of the class, as Miss Cleary
! put it, are number six hats and number
twelve shoes. Mr. Henry Farrgavea
j truthful address on "My Studious
Habits as a School Boy." Latin was
his favorite study and chewing gum
his favorite pastime. "Emporium's
Early Schools," by Mr. J. F. Parsons,
the oldest director on the Board in
point of service, but the youngest in
years and public spirit, was a great
effort He was glad that lady teachers
get married, if it were not so he might
be single yet; but he regretted the fact
that the men in the profession were
not so public spirited, for they all be
come politicians.
Mr. Logan, on the toast, "When I
was a Boy," gave a graphic descrip
tion of his school days, and as a sample
of his work as a school boy read a
composition that he wrote fifty or
more years ago, on that sublime sub
ject, "The Pig." If only the pupils of
the year 1898 could appreciate their
privileges they would make more use
of them.
The piano duetts by the Misses
Taggart and Misses Davison aiul
Kaye, the vocal solo by Mr. Walker,
the violin solo by Miss Walker, the
piano solo by Miss Taggart and the
selection by the Mandolin Club added
greatly to the evening's entertainment.
It is worthy of comment that the per
formers were all Alumni. All returned
to their homes and voted that this their
first Alumni Banquet was a great suc
cess and that another will be
looked forward to with great pleasure
and anticipation.
Banquet was served by the ladies of
the Rebekali Lodge and was all that j
an epicure could wish for. The !
beautiful table decorations of flowers, I
in red and white, the Alumni colors, j
j were also very tastefully arranged ,
| by them.
Curious Policies.
Accident insurance policies have tak
en many curious shapes, ranging from
1 the penny in the slot to the coupon in
j tbo weekly newspaper, but the limit
j lias been reached in London, wlieru the
| purchaser of a book of cigarette paper
| is insured lor SSO for a period of 70
j days. The annual cost of this amount
J -f insurance is about 75 cents a year,
provided tbo holder of tho novel policy
!is not a cigarette fiend. The amount of
insurance is specifically set aside for
the defraying of funeral expenses in the
tveut of accidental death.—New York
Journal.
Animals are often able to bear very
protracted fasting. In tbo Italian earth
quakes of 1795 two hogs were buried
in the ruins of a building. They were
I taken out alive 4a days later, but very
lean and weak.
Fortunate Boy.
Charles Soble, whose parents reside
in Emporium, has been appointed
stenographer in the Navy department
at Brooklyn, N. Y., and his friends :
here rejoice at his good fortune. The J
following we clip from the Elmira j
j Star: "Charles Soble, a well known :
j young man, who, for the past three
; year has been with the Northwestern j
j Steamship Company, of Buffalo, is in i
the city to spend Sunday with his re- j
latives here. Some time ago Mr. Soble i
tried the civil service examination and
j was successful. He is now in receipt |
j of a dispatch from John D. Long, Sec- j
I retary of the Navy, as follows: "Re
j port to commandent New York navy j
| yard immediately. Appointment j
I awaits you there."
A second dispatch is from Commo- I
j dore Bunee of the navy yard, Brook-
I lyn, as follows: "Report Monday
i next."
Mr. Soble will leave probably on
Sunday night for the metropolis where
he will enter upon the duties of his
new appointment. He is a brother of
Dr. N. 11. Soble, of this city." Young
Soble is an industrious young man and
by strict attention to his dutieß as
stenographer passed a creditable ex
amination.
High School Commencement.
The Commencement exercises of the
Class of '9B of the Emporium High
School were held in the Opera House,
last Thursday evening. Despite the
inclement weather, the seating capac
ity of the hall was taxed to its utmost,
several of the audience having to re
main standing throughout the rendi
tion of the entire program.
The stage was beautifully decorated
with white and yellow bunting and fes
toons of evergreens setoff with rosettes
of rod, white and blue; the background
was one mass of plants and flowers.
The exercises opened with a selec
tion by the Mandolin Club, followed
by an invocation by Rev. J. M. John
ston. After that for over an hour the
program was in the hands of the class,
dm -lg which time the audience was
treated to an interesting series of care
fully prepared and well delivered j
orations, essays and recitations, inter- j
spersed with vocal and instrumental j
solos, in which the members of the I
class acquitted themselves with much ;
credit. The Class address by the Rev. !
A. J. Woisley, of Tyrone, Pa., was a '
masterly effort, full of practical hints j
and suggestions and containingagreat
deal of good advice. The violin solos
by Miss Grace Walker were greatly
appreciated by the audience and
brought forth much applause. After a
selection by the quartette composed of
Messrs. Olmsted, Hockley, Felt and
Mclnnes, Mr. E. C. Davison, president
of the school board, came forward and
in a neat address presented the di
plomas to the Class.
The Schriever drawing prizes, con
sisting of a dozen fine cabinet photo
graphs to the pupil receiving the high
est average in drawing in his or her
grade, were awarded as follows: Katie
McDonald,Eva Leet, Mamie Cummings,
Myrtle Kautz, Clara Fredette and
Myrtle Jessop.
The beautiful and tasteful decora
tions of the stage and hall were ar
ranged by the Junior Class under the
direct supervision of Mrs. Thomas
Gallagher.
Patriotic Young America.
The young boys of Emporium and
Cameron county are overflowing with
patriotism and as a result flags are seen
I displayed from tree tops, barns and
houses. A number of lads, headed by
Norman Drum have placed flags upon
tall hemlocks on the mountain North
of town —a feat requiring some degree
of nerve as well as patriotism. Young
America can be trusted.
The Difference in Time.
Many inquiries have been made as !
to the difference of time between this j
' nation and the countries involved in ;
! the present war, we herewith publish
the facts: Havana's time is thirty '
minutes earlier than ours; Madrid, is I
j four hours and forty-two minutes '
earlier; the Canaries, are about four
; hours earlier, the Philippines, are
eleven hours and fifty-one minutes j
earlier.

A Terrible Accident.
Renovo Record.
Miss Avis E. Smart, a well-known i
and popular young lady, employed as j
teacher of the Secondary department \
J in the public school building a Four- I
: teenth street, met with a terrible aeci- j
< dent on Wednesday afternoon about !
; 4:10 o'clock, while riding her bicycle
I along the railroad tracks between this
| place and Westport, which resulted in
: her death at eight o'clock the same
| evening.
She left the school building imme-
I diately at the close of the afternoon
; session on her wheel togo to her
; parents' home at Westport. As the
public road was rough, she took the
I smooth path between the railroad
tracks. When she reached the vicinity
j of Dry Run crossing, a point nearly
opposite to Mr. Eb. Hall's farm house,
freight train No. (54, moving westward,
gave its alarm of approach. She evi
dently heard the signal, as it is said
she dismounted from her wheel, but
instead of going ov«r to the south
track, which was clear, she stepped on
the north track, on which the train
was approaching. When struck she
was standing on the edge of tho rail
road ties holding her wheel. She was
hurled a considerable distance.
The accident was witnessed by sev
eral trackmen who were working near
by. When they saw her dismount
from her wheel they felt confident she
would escape the danger, as she had
frequently passed along that way, at
about the same hour, and they thought
she knew that the west bound trains
always ran on the northside track.
The train was immediately stopped
and the railroad men went to her as
sistance. She was found to have been
terribly injured and in an unconscious
condition. There was a deep cut on
the back of her head, besides other
serious internal injuries.
Dr. Fulmer, the railroad company's
physician was taken to the scene on
an engine within twenty minutes after
the accident. Upon his advice she
was brought back to this place and
taken to the residence of her brother,
Leon L. Smart on Seventh street,
! where she lingered in an unconscious
state until 8 o'clock, when her death
took place,
i Miss Smart was born at Hudgson,
j Maine, and was about 26 years of age. i
! She was a graduate of Lock Haven
j State Normal School.
She is survived by her parents, three
brothers and one sister—L. L.and L.C.
Smart of this place; L. E. Smart, of
Bradford, Pa., and Miss Carrie, who re
sides with her parents at Westport.
The death of Miss Smart has caused
a severe shock to the entire community.
She taught in the public schools of
this place during the past two years*
and in that time she had endeared
herself to all herself to all her associate
teachers, her pupils and their parents 1
and a large circle of friends.
Her parents, sister and brothers
have the deepest sympathy of the
community.
Made Rome Howl.
When the news of the official report
from Commodore Dewey was received
here last Saturday afternoon, it was
decided by a number of the young
patriots of Emporium, that such a
glorious triumph by the "stars and
stripes" should be celebrated in a man
ner that would be fitting and proper
for such a great event. Accordingly
a committee was soon canvassing the
town for subscriptions, with which to
purchase everything necessary for the
making of an appropriate demonstra
tion. At nine o'clock that evening
about five hundred patriotic citizens
headed by two American flags, carried
by John Soble and Bernard Egan, the
Excelsior Band and two juvenile drum
| corps, left the public square and to the
j stirring strains of "Marching through
i Georgia," "Yankee Doodle" and
\ "John Brown's Body," marched down
i Main street cheering wildly for Dewey
| and his gallant fleet. On all sides
they were greeted by the loud reports
of cannon, guns and fire crackers and ;
; the enthusiastic shouts of a joyous i
populace. A brilliant display of fire i
works, consisting of roman candles,
rockets and star mines, bombs and col- !
i ored lights were shot off by a company
of young men at the head of the first ;
division. When the parade reached ;
the east end of Allegany avenue it
: turned and marched up Third and i
■ Spruce streets to Fourth; thence to :
\ the public square again, where a rous
ing, patriotic address was delivered by
the Rev. W. It. McNeil, at the close
of which the crowd dispersed to meet
again sometime in the near future
when Admiral Sampson should report
; the Spanish fleet to be in a sinking
condition.
