Fourth and Chestnut Sts. mauMXJS asnaß-K imaz J flanly Words. For weeks prior to the acquittal of Senator Quay for conspiracy to use the funds of the state deposited in the I'eoph 1 .uk, .veil inform ed people knew that the evidence to lie introduced was not deemed sufficient for prosecution. At the close of the State Senate a resolu tion was offered, calling on the At torney General to commence pro ceedings against those persons charged with receiving interest on state deposits in the past years. Of course this was a move to strike at Senator Quay. Hon. J. If. Cochran, of Lycoming, the Demo cratic leader of the Senate, moved to lay the resolution on the table, which motion he carried by a vote of 33 yeas to six nays. Senator Cochran, whom everybody knows is not identified with Senator Quay or iiis friends, when interviewed, said of the charges against Senator Quay: 'M happen to know that the papers in this ease were sub mitted to former Attorney General McCormick with a view to have him take some action on behalf of the Commonwealth. After a care ful inquiry into the facts, Mr. Mc- Coruiek decided that there was no foundation upon which a prosecu tion cither criminal or civil could be brought against Senator Quay." Senator Cochran is not a pea-nut politician; he is too broad guaged in his composition to set by and allow an injustice done to a poli tical foe and his manly words upon this occasion are not surprising to those of our people who know the gentleman and respect him for bis life-long record of fairness and justice at all times to his political apponents. Character assassins will have to turn to other men than Senator Cochran to blacken the characters of honored citizens and wreck the homes of esteemed gentlemen. He is too large; a man for that and knows the hard knocks required to climb the ladder from a poor boy to his present honored position in the business world, society and polities.

H, S. LLOYD. jf An Emporium dirl Becomes a Voter. WICHITA, Kan., April 13,1899. To the Editor of tht Pre*s, DEAR SIR:— In response to your re quest, I will endeavor and be pleased to tell you a little something about my experience as a voter away out here in Kansas. It was a real novel treat to me. For months previous to the election, all you could hear was,"have you registered yet; and whom are you going to vote for?" It was very amus ing, and especially so to hear the ladies lauding up their different candidates. The ladies are all called for and if they so desire are driven to the polls; both sexes voting at the same place. You are asked your name and the ward you live in and if tho same is found on the books you are given your ticket, then you enter a booth and as the "Lord's of Creation" do, you have the same privilege to affix your little X after any name you choose. It is all done very quietly, modestly and quickly; in no way injurious or de grading to the honor or dignity of a true lady, as the best ladies of the city voted. I must say I thoroughly en joyed it (only when it came to the registering, then you must tell your aye—not how many summers) and was anxious to learn the results. I was elated when I heard the Republican mayor was elected—he was the im portant candidate to vote for. Ladies here are only privileged to vote for municipal officers. I am sure all the ladies and girls in Emporium would enjoy the sport of voting. It would be no trouble then, Mr Mullin, to get elected. I know all the ladles would give >ou a vote. All the gentlemen are very liberal and courteous, when it nears election time, as they want the ladies' votes and not all of them vote as their husbands and sweethearts dictate. In all, I would not have missed voting for any thing; it is very good fun and interest ing, making one feel the importance of American citizenship Whetheror not it will prove a benefit to tho female portion of the world, remains to be seen. It suffices now, if nothing more, for the fun and privilege of being up with the men. You must try and give us a little of this fun in Pennsylvania, Mr. Mullin. With kindest regards, I remain, Yours truly, MARGAHET MCDONALD. The writer of the above, Miss Mar garet McDonald, is the eldest daughter of Mr. and ?.'£?. A. A McDonald, 01 Emporium. She has been in Kansas almost two years, making her home with relatives. Miss McDonald is a bright, very intelligent and well posted young lady, especially upon the lead ing questions of the day. Unlike her father, she is a red-hot Republican and when at home here "Angus" has to keep mum on politics, if he does not want to be wound up like a ball. We can assure our lady friend that we hope, at some future day, to see the Pennsyl vania ladies accorded the right of suf frage upon all municipal questions. Why not ? To the School Directors of Cameron County. GENTLEMEN:— In pursuance of the forty-third section of the act of May S, 1854, you are hereby notified to meet in convention at the Court House in Emporium on the first Tuesday in May, A. D., 18!!!), being the second day of the month, and select, viva voce, by a majority of th<• whole number of directors present, one person of liter ary and scientific acquirements, and of skill and experience in the art oft cach ing, as County Superintendent, for the three succeeding years; and certify the result to the State Superintendent, at Ilarrisburg, as required by the thirty ninth and fortieth sections of said act.

Anthony Hope's Latest Romance.

In the very opening chapter the readers curiosity is 1 aroused in the livelist possible | way.

Burial of Mrs. Katharine Welsh. The PRESS last Thursday con j tained the announcement of the j sad death of this excellent lady, leaving three small children or phans. The funeral was held last Saturday morning from the resi dence of the deceased on Walnut : street . The attendance was very large and silently the cortege wended its way to St. Mark's church, where Mass was said over | the remains of the dead. Father Downey delivered a touching ad dress and spoke eloquently of de ceased's many christian qualities. The large church was filled with , our citizens, of all creeds—called to pay a last mark of respect to a kind mother and dutiful (laughter. The attendance of friends from out of town was very large and testified to ihe respect in which the deceased was held, especially so at her old home in Sterling Run. Ihe Lady Maccabees attended the funeral in a body. The following friends from abroad attended the funeral: .John Wade, (brother) Scran ton, Pa.; .lames Wade, (brother) Clarendon: Frank Wade, (brother) Falls Creek; William Wade, (brother) Sterling Run; Mrs. F. <!. lloag, and Miss Agnes Wade, (sisters) Sterling Run; .John Welsh,(brother) Wayinart, Pa.; A.

Our neighboring town, Cameron, will soon be depopulated unless something soon strikes it to revive its depressed condition. This week three families leave —B. C. .John son and family and Fred Schwab and wife, to Johnsonburg; Frank Linninger and wife, to Couders port. I licked a dozen stamps to-day for telegrams I sent; I licked and stuck one 011 a bill with which I paid my rent: 1 licked a stamp to paste upon a note which I renewed. And then I licked another one to make a mortgage good. I've licked these stamps to show that I respect my country still, and now I'd like to lick the man who intro duced that bill.—Ex. The girls who give way to a de sire to gad about the streets and cultivate the acquaintance of young men who act the simpering simple ton is laying the foundation for a useless after life. Ten to one after she is married she will develop in to a slatternly gossip, if 110 greater misfortune befalls her. It is the girl of good sound sense, the girl that loves home and helps mother that wins the model husband and j becomes an ornament to woman- | hood. The girl that does this and devotes some of her time to read ing tries to win the esteem of every body. while the gadding street or nament wins the admiration of those whose admiration is not worth having.—Ex. Secretary Edge of the State De partment of Agriculture has re cently issued Bulletin No. 41 of the Department which, as long as the supply lasts, will be sent to all applicants free of cost by address ing Department of Agriculture. Ilarrisburg, Pa. The Bulletin, in addition to showing the analysis of each fertil izer also shows the price per ton at which each was sold at the point at which the samples were selected, and also the comparative commer cial value per ton, thus enabling the reader to judge at a glance which of the different grades ap pear to be best worth the price asked for them. All samples were drawn without the knowledge of the manufacturer, by sworn agents of the Department and may be taken as fairly representing the different brands as sold to farmers in the state. Too Late to Classify. Jos. Kaye has joined Henry Auchu at Pittsburg find the two are now in the South on a tour of inspection.

Baker, of Ridgway, editor of the Advocate, and the popular post master of that lively town, was trans acting business in Emporium last Thurs day. Mr. Baker favored the PRESS with a social visit.
