"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."—WEßSTEß
EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 17,1890.
Letter from Dr. Baker.
Editor Prea&:
Since leaving Emporium we have
visited in New York City, Wilmington,
Del.; Harrisburg, Lewistown, Mont
gomery, Muncy, Hugesville, and are
now milking a short stay at Highland
Lake, as guests of Dr. and Mrs. H. M.
Essiek, at "The Essick."
Highland Lake is situated in the
Alleghenies, 2.500 feet above sea level,
about twenty-six miles from Williams
port, six miles by stage from Ghamouni,
on the Williamsport & North Branch
R. R.
The drive from Chanaouni to the lake
is delightful, being a gradual ascent
through a wild mountainous region.
The weather was very hot in the valley
but when we reached the summit all
remarked "how cool it is; how lovely."
Hot weather is unknown here; the air
is pure and cool and there is always a
nice breeze. Overcoats are in demand
in the evening, and at night blankets
can be used with comfort.
There are two hotels and a number
of cottages here. The Essick, owne"
by Dr. H. M. Essick, is the larger <
the hotels, and lias an exceptionally
fine location, commanding a view ol
the surrounding country for fifteen to
forty miles according to the condition
of the atmosphere. The Essick is a
four-story structure containing, with
its cottages, about two hundred rooms,
nearly all of which are now taken.
The building is surrounded on three
sides by a broad veranda and is pro
vided with fire escapes The grounds
are handsomly laid out in drives,
walks, tennis and croquet grounds,
golf links, flower gardens, etc.
In connection with the hotel is a
casino, on the first floor of which are
billiard and pool tables, bowling alleys,
and shuffle boards. The second floor
is a fine dancing hall and is provided
with a piano. Crystal Lake, a beauti
ful sheet of pure, cold, spring water, is
situated about one and a half miles
from The Essick and is the source ol'
water supply for the house and
grounds. There has recently been
added a system of baths, including
Turkish, electric, needle, shower, etc.,
which feature is an attraction for those
seeking health as well as pleasure.
The house is elegantly furnished
throughout and cuisine is all that the
most exacting could wish. The doctor
owns a farm on the mountains and
produces most of the vegetables, eggs,
poultry, butter, milk, etc., used at the
hotel.
The doctor is at the hotel part of the
time, looking after the comfort of his
guests, but most of his time is taken
up with his extensive practice at
Picture Rocks. Mrs. Essick, the es
timable wife of the proprietor, is con
stantly at the hotel and makes all feel
perfectly at home. Highland Lake is
an ideal mountain resort, with every
thing conducive to rest, recreation,
health and comfort, and has none of
the objectionable features often found
at summer resorts.
We expect to spend a short time at
Eagles -Mere, and a week or ten days
in Williamsport and then come home
to Emporium. Our health is good, and
it is needless to mention the fact that
we have enjoyed our "outing;" but we
will be glad to get home. We expect
to be in Emporium by August 25th to
30th.
Y ours,
DR. ALURA W. BAKKR.

Chapter of Accidents.
Last Tuesday John Cavanaugh, while
working at the slab cut-off in Howard's
mill met with a painful accident. His
ri«rht hand came in contact with the saw,
severing the first three finders close to
the hand. Dr. Belong dressed the injur
ed member. On Wednesday Mr. Cavan
augh was sent to the Williamsport hos
pital. Mr. C. B. Howard it Company
are heavy contributors to that institution
and furnish all employees, who may be
so unfortunate as to be injured, with free
admission.

Harry Fountain, the little eight year
old son of Reuben Fountain, was riding
with bis father this morning, on the top
on a load of wood. When near E. G.
Coleman's residence the little lad fell
Jrom the wood, falling between the wheel
and the wagon box, sustaining severe in
juries. Dr. Smith reports no bones
broken.
The Street Paving Question.
Editor Press:—
Sin:—l have been watching the
columns of the PRESS the past week or
two in the hope that some citizen would
follow the lead of your most sensible and
seasonable editorial of August .'!, on
"Street Paving for Emporium "
"The world moves" and the time is
rapidly coming when no town, andes- j
pccially no county seat, that expects to ;
amount to anything; or to be thought by :
outsiders to be anything but an old. back ;
number can possibly do business without <
at least one paved street. You are right,
Mr. Editor, when you say that our
Fourth street paved with brick would be I
one of the 'handsomest streets in the j
state. It would present a much finer j
appearance than we can easily imagine. J
However, the benefit to public health
and morals would greatly overshadow
any aesthetic consideration. Dust carries j
disease germs, and the mechanical irrita- ■
tion of particles of dust on the tender
membranes of the eyes, nose, ear and
throat is injurious in the extreme, caus
ing catarrhal diseases and a long train of
disorders.
I will admit that a man may be a good
Christian under any and all circumstances,
but it is a mighty strain on any man's
Christianity to have a couple of quarts
of filthy dust sifted down the back of his
neck every time he attempts to cross the
street. j
Can We afford to pave Fourth street ?
Yes, we can if we think so. The ex- 1
pense need not be great. 1 have before
me several bids for street paving in Lima,
Ohio, which were published there about
two weeks ago. (>ne of these bidders
offers to do the work at these figures :
Excavation 20c., crushed stone founda
tion 22c., pavirig 7tic. per square yard.
This includes labor and material and as
will be seen amounts to 81.18 per square
yard, or about 83.9-4 per front foot for a
street Of) feet wide, as Fourth street is.
However, tor Emporium, we may cut
out the crushed stone as Fourth street
already has a first-class foundation in
position, viz: Cinders two feet thick,
packed hard by ten years traffic. This
is better than crushed stone and equal to
concrete for our purposes. We may also
cut out at least halt the cost of excava
tion which brings our figures down to
90c. per square yard, bringing cost for
fourth street down to S'-kOO per front
foot.
We can secure curbing stone four
inches thick and two feet wide, placed in
position at 25c. per lineal foot, thus
bringing the entire expense of curbing
and paving, material and labor, down to
B">.2D per front toot ond perhaps even
lower than that. If thought desirable
the roadway through the residence part
of the street might be paved only about
2H or 25 feet and the sides parked, which
produces a pleasing effect at a saving in
expense of 81.00 to 81.25 per foot.
If the owners of abutting property arc
willing to stand a fair and reasonable
share of the expense the borough ought
to be, and is, able to pave Fourth street
and to do it now. We are not ready, of
course, and never shall be. Let us pave
it now and get ready afterwards.
E. O. BAREWELL.
Emporium, Pa., Aug. 10, 189!).
The funeral of Mrs. Jos. Streicht at
the Presbyterian church last Friday was
largely attended.
Burial of Lillian Lewis Alarsion.
Last Sunday Mr. 11. Warner received
a telegram from Frederick Manley, stat
ing that Lillian Lewis Marston, the
popular actress, had died at Farmingdale,
Minn., and would be brought to Empo
rium on Tuesday for burial. The sau
intelligence was a great shock to the
friends of the deceased lady, who were
not awere that she was even sick. The
news was too true. Katharine Lillian
Manley, as she was known in Emporium
as a bright, joyous and happy girl, was
j dead.
Her remains arrived in Emporium on
j the noon train Tuesday on W. N. Y. &
j P. Ry., and were met at the depot by a
number of friends and conveyed to Em
i inanuel Episcopal Church to await the
; hour of services. When the hour (2:30
: p. m.) arrived the little church where the
| deceased had attended Sabbath School as
a child and later as a teacher, was filled
with sorrowing relatives and friends.
Rev. J. M. Robertson, the Rector, eon
ducted the services and a surpiiced choir,
composed of several old friends of the
dead lady, rendered the singing. Im
mediately after the services the remains
were viewed by almost every person in
the large congregation, a majority of
whom had known and respected the dead.
After a very affecting parting of hus
band, daughter, brother and other rela
tives, the casket was closed over the
remains of her who was once one of the
most popular young ladies of Emporium,
the funeral cortege slowly proceeded to
the Newton Cemetery, where the Episco
pal burial service was read by the Rector,
when all that was mortal was deposited
beside her mother and brother, to await
the last great summons!
KATHARINE LILLIAN LEWIS-MARS
TON was burn at Coudersport, Pa., and
came to Emporium with her parents
when a small child. Shortly after the
family arrived here their mother died,
then a brother passed away, leaving Mr.
Manley with three small children. .Mrs.
Marston was an apt scholar and being
full of energy soon made her mark in the
school room and was considered one of
the best scholars. She was employed
for several terms as teacher in the schools
of this place as well as Shippen. Being
of a pleasing disposition she was a general
favorite and her friends—and all Empo
rium was her friend—encouraged her
heroic efforts to obtain an education and
reach the goal she was aiming for. About
1873 she moved to Minnesota with? her
lather and immediately entered a school
of elocution at St. Louis. After years
of careful study she went upon the stage
and has for eighteen years played in all
the principal cities of this country, Canada
and Europe with marked success—
alwayi displaying that indomitable will
that she was noted for as a girl. She
was truly kind, generous and ever char
itable and during the years she has ac
cumulated hundreds of thousands of
dollars her purse was lavishly open to the
needy.
About four years ago, while touring in
the South, her health commenced to tail
her, and after heroically battling against
the dread disease, she was compelled to
! seek rest and the best medical aid in the
land, but all was of no avail. She re
tired to Minnesota, where her only sister
! resides, about two years ago and patiently
! awaited her fate, and trusting, resigned,
she peacefully passed away last Friday
■ evening, at the age of 43, surrounded by
| her family and friends, as she repeated
the Lord's Prayer.
Mrs. Marston was a member of the
Episcopal church and during her travels
i always made it a rule to attend strictly j
I to her religious duties.
To the bereaved husband, daughter j
and brother, who are now with us, in
their great grief, we and all our ciuzeus
1 extend our heartfelt sympathy.
A HUSBAND'S TRIBUTE.
Near the highest point of the Alle
ghenies, under the shade of an apple tree.
: calmly reposing, are the remains of my
wife.
You, the people of Emporium, knew
her as a child and you heard her childish
prattle; you knew her as a little girl and
I you saw her girlish pranks; you saw her
j blossom into womanhood, you knew her
as a young woman and you knew her
hopes and her ambitions.
She was my wife, 1 knew her heart.
TERMS: $2.00 —$1.50 IN ADVANCE.
She was my co-laborer, I knew her mind.
She was raised among these hills,
these giants of Nature, and her heart
and mind were built on the same gigantic
scale.
As they are grand in their beauty, so
was her heart grand in its love.
As they each day reveal some new
form, so her mind, limitless in capacity,
each day evolved some new thought.
As they in their majestic silence, with
Nature's eloquence, attest the glorious
glory ot their Creator, so she by her
Christlike charity and the eloquence of
her expressed devotion, attested the glory
of her God.
You have heard and read and know
that as an artist, in her chosen profession,
she attained the highest houors.
She did not impersonate, she lived;
she did not leign, she was. Iler art was
a true transcription of Nature, and mag
nanimous Nature had gloriously fitted
her in voice, in form, and feature to be
her true exponent.
She was a great artist; she was a peer
less woman.
Yesterday I stood beside the cold and
silent remains of the noblest true woman,
and the truest noble woman 1 have ever
met.
Lillian Lewis Marston was that woman.
She was majestically beautiful in life,
and she was beautifully majestic in death.
It has been said that I devoted my
life to her interests. All I say in reply
to that is: I hope so. T could not have
devoted my life to a better cause.
All I did, it [ did anything, was
Love's Labor.
She was my mental and my physical
companion, and she is my spiritual solace
A truly good woman is the fairest leaf
in Nature's big book, and that is what
she was.
Her precepts were: Love God and
the good. Always think right and you
will never do wrong. Be as near the
perfection of the truly feminc as you can
Let. your heart be big enough to love the
world and all humanity. Be a firm be
liever in the Lord Jesus Christ. Have
absolute faith in God ; that is the true
beauty of religion. l)o not fear God
because you dread punishment. Do not
love Goil because you hope for reward.
Let there be no incentive. Worship
your Creator because you are part of
Him and He all of you.
She herself conformed to all these pre
copts.
Since time's beginning there have been
men who sought to deprive other men of
the only thing that makes life worth
Itving : The belief in the immortality of
the soul; the belief that God is. I have
been in contact with such men.
To her. whose mortal life death's cold
hand has vanquished, I am indebted for
the positive knowledge that this life is
not the "Be-All" and that death is not
the "End- VII."
I wan the world to know that no
matter what it thinks I did for her, I
know she made a better man of me, and
1 am her debtor.
Yesterday I was a materialist; to-day
I know the soul is immortal; t know
that God is. And when my time comes
togo into infinity, 1 shall go with that
dignified calmness, which the knowledge
that 1 shall find her there unchanged,
that I shall love her there as I did
here, imparts.
lntiuity gave her to me for a finite
period, and infinity has reclaimed her for
infinite time. 1 have not consigned her
[ to the earth but to Eternity.
On aartli she was a queen among her
j sex, in Infinity she is a queen spirit.
