PHILADELPHIA, April 20, 1899. COMRADES: In accordance with the requirements and customs of our Order the Senior Vice-Commander-in-Chief calls attention to the approaching Me morial Day, May 30th, 1899, confident that every member of the Grand Army of the Republic will unite in paying our annual tribute of flag and flowers to the memory of men who, in days gone by, fought for the unity of the Nation, the purity and truth of the flag, and who stood ready to yield up their lives to secure to us as a people the inestim able blessings ol liberty. The year closing with the next Me morial Day has added new strength and power to the Nation and new glory to the flag. The worth and fame of the American soldier and sailor has been gloriously advanced. The achiev ments of the "days of the sixties" still remain, and have rendered possible the glorious victories won in the interests of liberty and humanity. Let us, then, on Memorial Day, strew Spring's choicest flowers in tenderness and love upon the grave ol every defender of the Republic, and in song, story and fitting ceremony recall the services and unmatched sacrifice of those who, sleeping in the gardens of the sea or in the bosom of the Nation, their place of sepulchre unmarked and un known, gave not only their lives but their very name for their country, j The men whose memory is perpet uated by the loving service of Memo rial Day were part of the greatest Com radeship the world has ever known. 1 Let us, who still survive, bo so earnest in our tribute, so pure in our affection, and so loving in our remembrance of i them, that the lessons of patriotism which we teach shall find a lodgment in the hearts of all the people, binding J all together in devotion to flag and country. 11. It is enjoined upon every Post that in accordance with a custom now firmly established, they attend Divine service on the Sunday preceding Me morial Day. 111. The Thirtieth National En campment provided that the reading of President Lincoln's Address at Gettys burg be made a special feature in all Memorial Day exercises conducted un der the auspice of the Grand Army of the Republic. The address is publish ed herewith. Commanders of Posts will direct that it be read in connec tion with the exercises of the day. By command of W. C. JOHNSON, Sen. V. Com.-in-Chief, Com'ng, THO'S. J. STEWART, Adj. Gen. LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS. Four score and seven years ago our t fathers brought fourth on this conti nent a new nation,conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, test ing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and eo dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper I that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have conse crated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little | note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what il | did here. It is for us the living, rather. • to be here dedicated to the unfinished ■ work which they who fought here have | thus far so nobly advanced. It if rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us | that from these honored dead we tak< increased devotion to that cause foi ' | which they gave their last full measim ] ! of devotion- that we here highly resolvf 1 ; that these dead shall not have died ii | vain —that this nation under Cod, shal j have a new birth of freedom—and tha j i government of the people, by the peo j I pie, for the people, shall not perisl J j from the earth. 1 They .are catching twenty.inch trou j within the limits of the Borough o Coudersport.

Fry is "winged'' from the effects of falling from a step ladder while making some repairs in his barn. Ilis left collar bone is broken but he is able to be about just the same and on the outlook for business. Big »\*y Day. Last Monday was a remarkable day in the history of Emporium, yet few of our citizens seemed to realize it. yet it is a fact. The combined wages paid by the Cli- J max Powder Co., Mankey Furni- j tare (Jo., C. B. Howard <K: (Jo., j Emporium Milling Co., Emporium | Machine Co., and railroads, exceed- j cd the sum ever paid in one day during the history of Emporium. 1 We are not dead. Will Resume. The Elk Tanning Company have j issued orders to resume work at i the Sterling Run Tannery, which j has been idle so long. Workmen are now engaged ami soon the hustling little town will put on that air of prosperity formerly enjoy ed by that people. Hides will j commence to arrive this week. We understand that carpenters i and machinists are rebuilding the work, the intention being to make a long run. Supt. Norris and fore man Norton are up to their eyes in work. Obituary. MM. MINNIE LIKITZ, aged 34, years, wife of Fred Lieut/, died at the family residence on Pine street, yesterday morning, of pneumonia. The lady had been in poor health about a year ago, but was iniprov [ ing, as her family thought. Iler death was very sudden. Deceased ' was a consistent ehristain, being a | member of the Wesleyan Metho ! dist church. The funeral will 'take place from the family resi -1 dence to-morrow, ( Friday) at 2:30 p. m. Rev. Fuller will officiate. The PKKSS, as well as our citizens generally, sympathize with the be reaved husband and motherless child. Fire Department Matters. The Fire Department of Kmpo ! rium met last Friday evening and ! organized two base ball teams. I The following committee was elected: Josiah Howard, Kugene Mumford, W. 11. Taylor, 11. O. ; Haupt and J. B. Schriever, with C. W. Shafer. Secretary and S. ■ E. Murry, Treasurer. The charter having been granted | for the ••Firemen's Relief Associa- j tion of Emporium, Pa.," the de-! partment met at City Hall last Fri- j i day evening and elected the follow ing officers: I'resident, A. C. Blum: ! Vice President, A. A. McDonald; | Secretary. C. W. Shaffer; Treasurer, ; | John 1). Logan; Trustees, .Josiah ' : Howard, .1. F. Parsons and Chas. ■ M. Thomas. Shot in the Leg. i A chap named Lorren Mosier, formerly a resident of Beech wood, | kicked up a row in D. W. Dono ! van's restaurant, last Tuesday and i threw a beer bottle at a customer. | Mr. Donovan issued a warrant for ' the chap's arrest and placed the I same in Sheriff Mundy's hands, ! who found his man near C. B. Howard's store, Tuesday evening. I The Sheriff notified him that he ; had a warrant for his arrest, when Mosier took to his heels. Sheriff ; Mundy fired low in order to give him a warning that he meant busi ness. The ball evidently glanced - i and struck Mosier in the fleshy part of the left leg, but he kept on running and plunged through the j creek, taking a position on an - i island, where he sat until evening. F He had not been captured at last account. Birthday Party. Last Tuesday was a happy day with the representatives of the Logan family, at this place, the occasion being the celebration of mother Logan's 85th anniversary. Assembled at the residence of her only son, John D. Logan, Esq., agent of Adams Express Company, at this place, were all the vener ble lady's children: Mrs. Sal lie L. McCloskey, of Wilkensburg, Pa., Mrs. Lide M. Corwin, William sport, I'a., and Mrs. I. K. Hock ley and family. It is not neces sary to say that the happy group of children and grand-children made the occasion full of pleasure for mother Logan, as well as those of the several families present. The PKKSS is pleased to note that this lady is enjoying good health j and is able to ' "paddle her own canoe" about the house and not bother the younger folks to assist her up or down stairs. It is a pleasure to see one of her advanced ; age enjoying life and aiding in making those around her happy. ()ne of the children remarked to ye editor that "mother is enjoying herself in her old days as much as ! though a Queen." The Logan children certainly have always honored and respected their mother and no kindness or atten tion has been denied her. Business Booming at the Furniture Factory. It is with very great pleasure we note the rapidly increasing busi ness enjoyed by the Mankey Fur niture Company, of this place. The general boom in business throughout the country is gradu ally striking this section and the furniture trade, so long quiet,is on the upward bound. The excellent reputation of the furniture manu factured by this company is meeting the business world in the front rank and large orders are now booked ahead, far exceeding any previous time >n the history of the enter prise. This will be good news to our people, as well as to all parties directly interested in the plant. .Meeting, as did this establishment, many financial obstacles during the past few years, it has required a large amount of hard work and careful management on the part of of B. W. Green, the Receiver, as well as C. F. Mankey and A. C. Blum, his assistants, and other employees, to start the business on j a firmer footing and to-day a brighter and more prosperous j future is in store for them as a ' result of their labors. While the PKKSS has no desire I to interfere with the private busi ! ness of the interested parties, we honestly believe that now is TIIK time for them, as well as our en ! terprising citizens in general, to place their shoulders to the wheel : and aid in placing this important ! industry upon a firmer financial basis. How can we accomplish it, you ask? Join hands with the Re ceiver, confer with and encourage him, as well as those immediately ! associated in the business, and show by your actions that you not only desire the upbuilding of this business, but that you wish to < see a paying institution well estab lished. Vetoed the Salary Bill. Gov. Stone vetoed the County Supt. Salary bill, amending the act ! fixing the salaries of public, school superintendents. The Gov. says: 112 "1 am of the opinion that there is ■ no reason for presuming that the ■ school ilirectors of any county are I not capable of fixing the value of ■ the services of the county superin i tendent. In my judgment there ; has been no such abuse of thsir i prerogative in this particular as , justifies me in approving a mil t which is a reflection upon their in telligence or their fairness." BRIEF nENTION. Bring specimens of fire clay to the PRKSS office at once. The iron works at this place is a sure go and all doubters can book on that. Jamestown manufacturers count on working up 5,000,000 pounds of wool this year. Henry Auchu says he has never known such a demand for lumber in this country. A mother once remarked that those who say boys are not economical never saw them use soap. The Emporium Glove Factory will soon resume operations, so we are re liably informed. The check roll of the P. & E. R. R. employes of this place amounts to $48,- 000, this month; an increase of §5,000 over last month. Renovo Record. The tannery at this place will shut down for a few days in order to make extensive repairs. They will erect a new smoke stack and line it with fire brick. Mrs. D. F. Cramer has purchased the Racket store stock and moved the same to the store room next to Alex. McDougall's. Miss Lena Evans will have charge of the store. 7 iere ia renewed talk of an issue of sh iiplasters. Paper currency in de nominations of 10, 25 and 50 cents would be of great convenience in send ing small remittances by mail. The Philadelphia & Reading Rail road want 1,000 men to work on the con struction of their road between Wil liamsport and Milton. A double track and several sidings on the Catawissa branch are being built. The several school districts of Cam eron county will receive from the State during the next two years, annually, after June Ist, 189'J, $6,663.80, a reduc tion of $666.38. Business is on the jump at the lumber mills of C. B. Howard & Co., at this place. The shipments are simply im mense twenty loaders being employ ed. The planing department in run ning day and night. A McKean county man reports that he kept a flock of fifty hens during the past winter, and during four months from December Ist last, he disposed of §SO worth of eggs, or in other words the flock averaged a dollar's worth of eggs apiece during the four cold months. Tho best curfew ordinance, says an exchange, is one that is adopted in each family, where the "old man" acts as mayor and common council, night watch aud calaboose keeper; where fine and punishment together and a good hickory stick is more to be feared than so much lollypop. But a good many homes are lacking in this respect. M. C. Green, of Brooklyn, N. Y., has purchased tho wood output from C. B. Howard & Co.'s mill, at this place. This firm is in the wood business and is now negotiating for the establish ment of a kindling wood plant at Wyside, in company with Messrs. Bar clay. This new industry will add to the business of that lively town. For the benefit of those who are not familiar with the provisions of the bicycle bill introduced by Representa tive E. W. Parshall, of Warren, and which became a law when Governor Stone afiiixed his signature, we repro duce the more important clauses as follows: It is provided that upon petition from twenty-five free-holders, residents of a county, who are bicyclers, the court shall appoint three resident wheelmen as side-path commissioners, to serve without compensation other than necessary expense. A tax off], or so much thereof as may be recom mended by the side-path commission ers, shall be paid upon each bicycle in the county. The taxes shall constitute a side-path fund, to be used for con struction and maintenance of the paths. I Judge Mitchell, of Tioga county, says: "A bicyclist has no right upon a sidewalk, and no borough can by or dinance give him that right, or make his riding upon the sidewalks legal. A bicycle is a vehicle, and as such, has no more right to run on the sidewalks than has a cart or wagon drawn by horses. If a bicyclist rides upon the sidewalk he is there illegally, and if he should [ accidentally run over a child or any | person and kill him, he would be guilty I of manslaughter, no matter if he were j riding with the greatest precaution ; and care, for the reason that his being i upon the sidewalk was in itself illegal ! and would make an accident of this ! kind serious in its results to the bi | cyclist, whereas, if he were legally ! upon the highway, possibly no blame j could be attached to him by reason of an unavoidable accident of the charac ' ter referred to."
