EMPORIUM PA., THURSDAY, APRTL 6,1899. Death of K. F. Edwards. Summerland, (Gal.) Advmce. After a brave struggle, lasting for more than a year, on Monday morn ing, March 13, R. F. Edwards finally succumbed to consumption and passed ! peacefully away, surrouded by his sor rowing wife and relatives. The fun eral services were held at Liberty Hall on Tuesday afternoon. Rev. Mr. Westenberg, pastor of the Santa Bar bara Methodist Episcopal church, offi ciated. A large attedance of relatives and friends of the deceased were pres ent. In his sermon Mr. Westenberg dwelt on the solace to he found in the hope of a future state that is founded on a faith in Jesus and an unshaken belief in the teachings of the Bible. Without this faith, he said, poor humanity was adrift, a helpless hulk upon un unknown sea. lie quoted the words of the prophet Isaaiah, who compared it the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. On this theme he made a moving discourse that brought tears to the eyes of many of his hearers. After the services the remains were carried to the station by the pall bearers and shipped to Los Angeles, where they were deposited in the plot belonging to the Typographical Union of that city. Many beautiful floral pieces covered the casket and the hall was tastifully decorated with evergreens and flowers. Richard Franklin Edwards was born born at Bloowsburg, Pa., August '25, 1870. He came to this coast in 1893, stopping at Tacoma, Wash. In 1895 he came to Los Angeles and in 1896 came to Summerland to take a partner ship in the Advance-Courier, retiring from the newspaper business to accept a position as salesman for the cigar firm of Snyder & Davis. AVhen this firm dissolved partnership he returned to Los Angeles to take his old position as compositor on the Morning Herald. ] It is supposed that arduous labor, com bined with exposure, first planted the seed of the dread disease which ulti mately caused hife death. That Dick was highly esteemed and well beloved by all who knew him w;is demonstrated by the unceasing care and general interest that was taken in him during his long illness. Peace to his ashes, and may his poor, troubled soul find rest in that long sleep in the misty beyond for which he yearned so long before his passing Base Ball Notice. Are we to have a base ball team in our city this season ? This is the ques tion that it being asked by many sports who are getting anxious for the matter to assume definite shape. Br 1 12, nothing can be done until the ball h .ng public produce some one one to assume the management. There was in '9B a ball committee who should, now that the season is drawing near, take the matter in hand, call a meeting and appoint a manager. Surely we had a team last year we were proud of, hav ing met defeat only a few times and then always owing to imported players. All of our l.ist season's players are still in town. With such players as Mumford, McFadden, Ganey, Pearsall, Morrisey and others, we can putin a winning team, which, I can assure you, can make it interesting for the minor league clubs. So let the public get to gether, as the matter rests with them, and call a meeting as soon as possible. Come ye base ball cranks and help the movement along. Surely you are still with us.

Situated at the pretty little village of Arden, Orange county, New York, on the line of the Erie Railroad, 44 miles from New York, is the headquarters of the Arden Farms Dairy Co. Until three years ago the business was con ducted by Mr. E. H. Harriman. At that time a stock company was formed, the principal stockholders of which are E TI Harriman, VV. A. McClellan and William Viner. Mr. McClellan is Pres ident and Treasurer, and Mr. Viner is General Manager of the company. The company controls 15,000 acres of land, extending from Southfield to a poiht two miles west of Arden, a dis tance of four miles. The actual farm ing land comprises 5,000 acres divided into seven farms. Each farm is in charge of a foreman. The offices and principal building of the company are located at Arden. Mr. Viner, the general manager of tht> company, is a gentleman thor oughly conversant with all the details of farming and the outside work con nected with the affairs of the company. At the time Mr Viner took charge of the Arden Farm, some five years ago, the total milk production was from 80 cows. Under his careful management the business has increased until at the present time the company owns 37.5 cows, 250 of which are milkers, supply ing 60 cans of milk in summer and 35 in winter, and the demand is steadily increasing. Mr. McClellan, the president and treasurer, attends to the official and clerical business of the company. Be sides their farming interests the com pany operate two stores, one at Arden, the other at Southfield. They have since August last expended upwards of §3<.',000 in the building of barns, creamery, ice house, grading, etc. The company has in contemplation the erection of another and much larger barn with a capacity of 150 cows, about >ne mile from the village of Arden. By so doing, the cows of three farms will be centralized, thereby fur ther facilitating the work. Some 40 men are constantly employed by the company. They are well paid and comfortable and as a consequence they are faithful and reliable employes and a position at Arden Farm is eagerly sought. Mountaineer Smoker.

Many a home has been made desolate by the loss of a dear child which could have been saved by this great remedy. Easter at the Churches. Although Easter was a cold, dismal | day, and a cosy fireside seemed more ; enticing that the melodious chant of a I church choir, yet there were many people out, both in the morning and evening, in attendance at the impres sive Easter services at the various churches. The following is a summary of the Easter day ceremonies at the leading churches: PRESBYTERIAN. The were no great preparations at the Presbyterian church, in the way of floral decorations, there being but a few potted plants, some lilies and palms in the pulpit and about the chancel. Rev. McCaslin preached an interest ing and touching sermon to the chil dren, in the morning, touching upon the power of the resurrection in its relation to christian humanity. The choir, with its full complement, rend ered several anthems in which were beautiful solos by Mr. John Mclnnes and Miss Grace McCaslin. EMMANUEL. The floral decorations at Emmanuel church were neatly arranged and conspicuous in chaste and simple beauty. Calla lilies and carnations being placed on the altar, Easter lilies on the font, potted lilies at the end of the choir stalls and potted hyacinths in front of the prayer desk, conveying the beautiful conception of the resur rection in its natural phase as well as the spiritual. The musical part of the service was well rendered and very impressive, the choir being greatly strengthened by Mrs. T. F. Hudson, of Cameron, and Mr. Ralph Goodal, of Driftwood. Tours' service was used in the morn ing and evening, together with Stain er's Easter anthem, "They Have Taken Away My Lord." The Rev. Mr. Robertson delivered the morning sermon from the text: "The Power of His Resurrection," and laid much stress on the leading thought that "The Resurrection has been the power which has changed the thought of the world concerning God, and changing the world's thought of God, has changed the character of the world's life. There was a goodly attendance at communion service, there being sixty five communicants received at the two celebrations. At the Sunday School festival at 3:00 p. m., carols were sung and short ad dresses were made by the Superinten dent and the Rector. The mite boxes were not all returned, but the amount received was $35.50. At the Parish meeting on Monday evening the members of the old Vestry were re-elected. ST. MARKS. The floral decorations at St. Marks were of exquisite taste and beauty and almost beggar description. Each post and pillar was draped in fern and evergreen. The altar decorat ions were especially attractive, being made up of arches, extending over the whole and set with candles; especially pretty designs were those of a heart and cross of candles on either side of the altar, which, when lit, stood out in bold relief against a background and arch of fern. Inside the chancel rail, in endless profusion, but tastily ar ranged, were palms, lilies, carnations, roses, hyacinths, etc., each piece seem ing to set forth in a manner all its own the glad tidings of "Peace on Earth; Good Will to Men!" In the evening, when the candles about the altar were lit, one gazing for a few moments on the mellow effulgence of pretty flowers and tri-colored lights might close his eyes for a moment and realize a vision of Paradise,disturbed only by the chant of the choir, which would serve only lend a realization to the enchanting scene. The service were the usual morning prayer, High Mass at 10:30and Vespers at 7:30 p.m. The offering of the day was for the benefit of the orphans and amounted to §135.00. The following is the musical pro gram as carried out by the choir: 10:30 A, M. HIGH MASS. j 1. Organ Solo, "Toccata in D Miner." S, Bach. \ 2. "Kyrie," 1) Flat W. V. I'eter , 3.

The floral decorations were beautiful and presented a striking example of efficacy in decorative art. The new minister, Rev. Wilford P. Shriner, preached his first sermon to his congregation, at the morning service, and made a last ing impression 011 his hearers. The Sunday School program for the day was thoughtfully arranged and carried out to the letter. TERMS: $2.00 —$1.50 IN ADVANCE. L2OCAL NOTICES.
