Shaffer, editor of Renovo Recortl, visited Kane last Sun day and writes a very interesting article from notes gathered while pass ing along the route. This is what he has to say relative to Emporium: "The ride along the mountaineous and pic turesque route of the P. & E. railroad between Renovo and that city, plainly disclosed the wave of business pros perity that has been sweeping over the country since the opening of the present year. "The first striking evidences may be seen when the train stops at Empo rium, where a large force of carpenters and laborers were at work Saturday morning putting things in shape to start the extensive iron mill which has been idle for many years. Ever since the mill was abandoned, business and property interests have been on the down grade. The wild stories which naturally followed about the impossi bility of its competition with other iron manufacturers, gave Emporium a "set back" from which it could not fully recover. The old iron plant will now shortly resume. It will be oper ated by Frank B. Baird, of Buffalo, N. Y., who has recently purchased it, and being wealthy and a man who thor oughly understands the iron business, is now spending a large sum of money to refit it with all the best modern machinery, to run at least for the next five years without a break. In addi tion to resuming operations at the mill a largo number of coke ovens will be built at Emporium. The result is everybody about that town is feeling good, buoyant with hope, and ready togo ahead and make it a desirable and profiitable place to reside." Prices marked away down at N. Seger's. The goods must be sold to make room for our new stock. Social Events and Outings. Miss Abbie Metzger pleasantly en tertained a number of friends last Sat urday evening. *»* The Emmanuel Sunday School held their annual picnic at Sinnemahoning yesterday, a large number being present. The Misses Leet entertained a num ber of friends last Monday evening, in honor of their guests, Miss Groves and her brother, of Coudersport. *»* Mrs. John J. Hinkle gave a duplicate whist party Wednesday afternoon, in honor of her sister, Mrs. J. 11. Cole. About twenty lady friends were present. Miss Nellie Hogan, one of Empo rium's most charming and popular young ladies, entertains a large party of lady and gi ntlemen friends this (Thursday) evei. ng. About twenty couples of Emporium young people enjoyed one of their popular open air hops, at Wiley's Grove, last Friday evening. Shadman and Ilockleys' full orchestra furnished the music for the >ceasion. The Misses Mclnnes entertained a large number of friends in honor of Miss Esther Chew, of Bradford, at their spacious home on Allegany Avenue. Dancing and exhibitions of high-elass musical talent was the order of the evening. v Mrs. Fred A. Hill entertained a number of school day girl friends, last Monday, at lunch. They were mostly members of the famous "Club of 1869- 1870 Belles." The guests evidently hugely enjoyed the pleasantries of their visit and reunion. The Junior League of the M. E. church will picnic at Wiley's Grove on Friday. The smaller children will be driven to and from the Grove and are to meet at the church at 9:30 a. m. Baskets left at the church will be hauled to and from the Grove. Parents and friends are invited to join with the Juniors in the outing. Last Friday a jolly party of Empo riumites enjoyed a ride over the Em porium & Rich Valley 11. R., one of the most beautiful scenic routes in the country. Mr. Henry Auchu, Presi dent of the Company, was untiring in his efforts to make the trip one of pleasure. The party consisted of Henry Auchu and wife, Mrs. J. H. , Cole, Miss Iva Cole, Mrs. C. A. Bell, Mrs. G. M. Pott, Henry Pott, Miss Helen Reinoehl, Mrs. Thos Gallagher, Mrs. John J. Hinkle, Mrs. F. G. Judd, Miss Sylvia Mayze, Hubert and Ned Brady, and H. 11. Mullin and wife. The day will long be remembered as one pleasantly passed. The delightful ride and beautiful scenery surpasses description. Every citizen of Empo rium should take that ride before the timber comes in contact with the woodsman's axe. A pleasant reunion of former Em porium "girls" took place at Empori um last Saturday, the occasion being a reception tendered by Mrs. J. 11. Cole, of Keokuk, lowa, to several of her school day friends at the residence of ! her sister Mrs. F. G. Judd. Around the festive board sat: Mrs. J. H. Cole, (Lulu Warner), of Keokuk, lowa;Mrs! Jos. Emery, (Jennie Freeman), of! Westport; Mrs. John F. Derr, (Orphia Freeman), of Renovo; Mrs. O. T. Chase, (Dora Goodrich,) ofSmethport; Mrs. W. Frank Taylor, (Jennie Zacha rias); Mrs. F. A. Hill, (Nettie Moshier); ! Mrs. John J. Hinkle, (Lizzie Warner); Mrs. F. G. Judd, (Maggie Warner); Mrs. H. H. Mullin, (Ella M. Gould); Miss Sylvia Mayze, of Emporium. To mako the occasion complete Mr. and Mrs. Riley Warner joined the happy gathering and aided' in the gaiety. It is not necessary to relate that the oc casion was certainly a happy one and "the belles of 1809-72" hope to meet again in 1900. The editor of the Pi:less took a peep at the happy gath ering and accepted the kind invitation of the hostess to join in devouring the good things prepared. Cash Prizes. Harry S.

Now watch the ever increasing exports: In 1895, §807,000,000; in 1896, 8882,000,000; in 1897, §1,000,000,000; in 1898, §1,231,- 000,000; when the present fiscal year is completed on the 30th of June in stant, look out for a larger figure even than the last one. And yet Demo cratic Free-Traders predicted—they wouldn't have it any other way—that Republican Protection would destroy our foreign commerce by killing our exports. What prophets ! —and should the country further trust them? —Mansfield, (O.) "News." Death's Doings QUINN. A two year old child of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. J. Qtiinn died on Monday.

If you are too penurious to subscribe and pay for your own paper—read the Bible. You ought to. The Coudersport "Colts" won a game of ball Saturday a week, with the aid of a member of the Emporium team The Enterprise says: '-It must be said in justice to our boys that the infielders with the exception of "Pink" Pearsall, of Emporium, who put up a good and clean game, were playing in strange positions." A Kansas printer, in making up the forms one day in a hurry, got a mar riage and a grocer's notice mixed so they read as follows: • John Smith and Ida Quay were united in the bonds of holy saurkraut, which will be sold by the quart or barrel. Mr. Smith is an esteemed codfish at 10 cents, while the bride has nice pigs' feet| to display Out at Emporium the owners of a furnace that has been idle for some years last week started up their largest blasting engine and began such other preliminary work as is necessary be - fore a general firing up. Mr. Dingley knew, when lie framed the bill which is now admitted to bo his proudest monument, that its operations would be beneficial, but it is a pity that be could not have lived to see how much better lie fashioned even than he knew. —Pliiladolpliia Inquirer. Without feeling called upon to aplo gize for tho articles in the Potter En terprise, regarding our neighbors in Cameron county, we wondered whether they would make the mistake of sup posing that tho Enterprise represents any portion of the respectable people of Potter county. It is gathered from the reply of the Canuron County Press that they have not made that mistake and yet they must wonder how any such a character could be tolerated by the class of people of which Potter county has every reason to be proud. Of course there is a class everywhere who reiinh just such wit as embellishes the pages of that political nondescript. Unfortunately there is another class of respectable but misguided people who imagine themselves benefactors in up holding and patronizing such a charac ter. It mav be right but it does not look very well to outsiders. —Couders" port Journal. BASE BALL OA/IES. Sterling Run and Emporium Play an Exciting Eleven Inning Game.— Methodists Beat Presbyterians. The game of ball played here last Friday between Emporium and Sterl ing Run was very exciting and re sulted in a victory for the home team, by a score of 9to 8. We were pre vented from seeing the match, yet we are informed that the game was rather loosely played in the first but that the boys settled down and played good ball tho latter part of tho game. An unusual amount of "rag chewing" was indulged in and several ugly scraps were narrowly averted by the mag nanimity of Captain Pearsall. The Sterling Run team was greatly strengthened by the addition of Jolin sonburg, Renovo, Sinnemahoning and other outside players, while the Em porium team was weak, having been compelled to play several substitutes in place of such good players as Farrell and McFadden. Boys, trv your luck again. V The Presbyterian and Methodist Sunday School teams crossed bats at Athletic Field on Wednesday, and in dulged in a scrimmage on the diamond which ended in a victory for the M. E.'s by the magnificent score of 15 to 14 It was evidently a game between a lot of old rheumatic, back numbers, with a sufficient comminglation of , young blood to make the game inter- I esting. The way Goodnough pounded j the leather covered spheroid and chased those "old fellows" around the I bases was a caution to St. Peter. It j was a pretty fair exhibition of the national game, anyway, and the en- I joyment they had left no causeforany ill-feeling. It was thoroughly a game for fun, not for blood. Union Sabbath School Convention The second annual convention of the Driftwood, Grove, Gibson and Lumber Union Sabbath School Con vention will be held in the Messiah church, at sterling Run, on Monday and Tuesday, August 14th and 15th, 1899.
