Surprise Party.
Mr. Jacob Dice, of Cameron, who ia
j employed by the P. & E. R.R. as pass
enger and freight agent, was agreeably
surprised on Wednesday evening, June
22—that being his fifty-fourth birthday.
After prayer meeting about forty of his
friends gathered at the M. E. parsonage
and from there went in a body to the
home of Mr. Dice. He was about ready
to retire for the night when he heard a
rap at the door, and upon opening it
was overcome with surprise—could not
say anything for a moment, then burst
out in laughter and invited them in.
As the room was scarcely able to hold
I them standing up, he thought it useless
| to ask them to be seated, and looking
over the crowd, finally said: "Well,
what does this mean?" The pastor,
Rev. E. E. Mulliner, was present by this
time and made an explanation, first giv
ing a short history of Mr. Dice's life,
and ending his speech by telling of his
usefulness in the M. E. Church, of which
he is a member. The members of the
church greatly appreciate his labors
j among them, and to show their appre
| ciation they gave him a handsome
| rocking chair, which his pastor then
| presented to him. After receiving the
J chair as a token of friendship, he
thanked them and made a few other
remarks, after which they all joined in
singing "Praise God from whom all
blessings flow." The large parlor was
then opened and everybody was seated
and a good social time ensued. Ice
cream, strawberries and cake wore then
served. After wishing Mr. and Mrs.
Dice a long and happy life they retired
to their several homes, feeling that it
was more blessed to give than to
receive.
In riemoriam.
The death of MRS. KATHERINE
BEERS has taken from our midst one
whose place will bo hard to fill. She
was an earnest, faithful christian and
was always ready to do the duty near
est her. Nineteen years ago she, with
the assistance of two other ladies,
organized the first Sabbath School in
| Emporia. Since the death of her
husband, two years ago, she has been
] more zealous than before in her desire
to interest and instruct her large class
in Sunday School. It seemed she had
a premonition that her time here was
short and that she "must work while
it was yet day."
The funeral services were held in
the Emporia church, June sth, Rev.
Win. Stones, of Palatka, officiating.
He delivered his sermon from the text:
"There remainetli therefore a rest for
the people of God." He was assisted
by Rev. M. P. Blitch, pastor of the
Baptist church, of which Mrs. Beers
was a member. The large crowd that
gathered to take one last, sad look at
the peceful dead, the abundance and
beauty of the floral decorations, and
the trembling tones as the choir sang
the beautiful hymn, "Lead, Kindly
Light," told eloqueutly of the love
and respect all felt for the quiet
sleeper.
Last Sunday a committee was ap
pointed to draft resolutions on the
demise of Mrs. Beers and the following
were adopted:
WHEREAS, Clod in his infinite wisdom, WHICH
none may question, has called home our beloved
friend, Mrs. Katherine Beers, and
WHEREAS, In her death her sons have lost a
devoted, loving, christian mother, her neighbors
a kind sympathetic friend, and the Church and
Sabbath School a faithful christian worker,
therefore be it
Resolved , That her children have sustained a
loss that is irreparable; her neighbors have lost a
friend whose noble life presents an example
worthy of imitation.
Resolved , That while we realize that her death
lias caused in the hearts of those she loved best,
a grief too deep and sacred for our words to
reach, yet we would mingle our tears with theirs
and in our sympathy would say:
"With patient heart, thy course of duty run; !
God nothing does, or suffers to be done
But thou wouldst do thyself, if though couldst see !
The end of all He does, as well as He.

Receiver Appointed.
For some weeks past litigation has
been in progress between the Mankey
Furniture company, of this place, and
their creditors. The PRESS has re
frained from mentioning the circum
stances surrounding the unfortunate
complication, hoping that for the good
of our town the troubles might be ad
justed and the industry enabled to re
sume operations. Last Thursday, upon
application made to Hon. C. A. Mayer,
at Lock Haven, William Howard, of
Williamsport, was appointed Receiver
and entered upon the discharge of his
duties on Monday, after filing a bond
in sum of §IO,OOO. Mr. Howard ap
pointed B. W. Green, Esq., attorney
for the Receiver, who will have charge
of the business. We are informed the
factory will resume operations within
ten days. It is earnestly hoped by all
well-wishers of Emporium that Ih?
affairs of this corporation may be
placed upon a solid financial footing,
and with increased facilities continue
to give employment to a large force of
men. The company have a very large
stock of furniture in their store-rooms.
Emporium vs Port Allegany,
Emporium and Port Allegany teams
crossed bats on the home grounds
yesterday, which resulted in defeat
for the visitors, by the neat score of 0
to 4. It was a hotly contested and
highly interesting game from begin
ning to end and clearly demonstrated
that our boys know the game, and by
hard practice and strict adherance to
the principles of the game we will
have a team that will be invincible.
The individual work was fine and it
cannot be said that any man on the
team played poor ball. Let the team
get together and practice three or four
nights a week and develop its latent
energy, and an appreciative people
will applaud your efforts, and to the
people we would say encourge the
boys by your support.
McFadden's pitching was superb,
while Mumford caught in his usual
efficient form. In the seventh three
; pitched balls retired the visitors,
i Ganev's one hand catch was a grand
: stand play only witnessed when a star
of the first magnitude is in the field.
' The official score was as follows:

day, both of which were fairly well at
tended.
Dan Foust, the genial conductor on
A. V. R. R., accommodation, has re
sumed duty after e/vjoying a week's
vacation.
The fantastic parade on the Fourth
will be one of the features of the cele
bration. Some of the boys are working
up surprises in the way of outfits.
Rev. J. A. Anderson, of Williams
port, formerly pastor of this parish,
spent several days with friends here,
returning to Williamsport Monday,
Mrs. F. E. Richardson and daughters
Ruth and Bessie, went to Lock Haven
on Wednesday, to attend the com
mencement exercises at the Normal

J. A. Mutthersbough and family

ing into his purchase. Mr. Huntley

"Bud" Mutthersbough had a "spill"
at the P. & E. depot on Saturday, while
hauling goods for \V. H. Mitchell. The
king-bolt broke, letting the rear portion
of the wagon drop, which frightened
the horse and it ran away. The horse
was caught near the opera house, be
fore any damage had been sustained.
The local candidates for Associate
Judge, S. D. McCoole and John Mc-
Donald, are hustling around among
their friends working up their politi
cal strength to the winning point.
Both gentlemen are carrying on a
clean friendly campaign and as both
are popular it will be a hard matter
to pick the winner.
As to Public Opinion.
Unhappily there is a prevalent and
: growing propensity, supposedly asso
j ciated with the cynicism of the age, to
' suspect evil of one's fellow man, in-
I stead of practicing that broad charity
j which is still preached in the churches,
; but too often falls upon ears that are
deaf to its meaning. How many a
j sensitive soul has been grievously
wounded by harsh unmerited criticism!
| The purity of the lily has no security
| against the blighting breath of scandal,
j which, beginning with a word prompt
i ed by an ill-balanced mind and an un
' clean heart, has been taken up by a
< thoughtless rabble and swelled into a
! wave of opprobrium to wreck a beau
; tiful and blameless life. Too strongly,
too earnestly, the plea cannot be made
j that public sentiment shall be careful
'to be just; the fact enforced that com
, mon rumor has the established charac
! ter of a common liar.—Ex.
