The Post Office Department has adopted a new form of domestic money order, which will be introduced grad ually, or as supplies of the old form become exhausted, at the various post, offices throughout the country, after the 4tli of September. The new form is somewhat smaller than the order now in use. Its dimen sions are about those of the ordinary bank draft. It has two adjuncts—the advice, or notification to be sent by the issuing to the paying postmaster, is a reproduction of the order through the use of carbonized paper, (the manifold process), and a receipt for the amount, to be furnished by the issuing post master to the remitter. On the back of the order a separate space has been provided for the stamps of banks through which it may be passed for collection. Thanks. MR.

THE FAMILY V Editor Cameron County l'rcas : We take this opportunity to thank the dear friends of mother Gager for their sympathy and beautiful loving gifts of floral emblems and other deco rations; also the dear young friends who so sweetly sang the songs which have made the burden of our grief easier to bear. Words are cold to ex press our appreciation. May God reward you all we pray. FATHER GAGER AND FAMILY. Sept. 6, 1899. Death's Doings. PEPPER. ALMON L. PEPPER, aged 70 years, four months and fourteen days, passed away last Saturday night, at his resi dence on Sixth street. Mr. Pepper's death removes one of the old land marks of this place. Coming to Em porium when the old Sunbury & Erie R. 11, was completed, he permanently located in this section, first at the mouth of North Creek. For more than twenty-five years he was janitor and tip-staff at the courthouse in this place and faithfully discharged his duty. Mr. Pepper has been in feeble health for some years and a great sufferer. The funeral, which was very largely attended, took place on Monday after noon at the M. E. church, Reverands Shriner and McCaslin officiating, each making very appropriate remarks. Deceased was for several years a member of the Baptist church and died in the faith, surrounded by his two children—Mrs. M. 11. Terwilliger and Geo. Pepper. The bereaved family and especially the devoted daughter, have the syni pathy of a large circle of friends. UTTER. PETER UTTER, aged 43 years, died at Liberty, Pa., last Sunday, of typhoid fever, after an illness of four weeks. His remains were brought to Empo rium on Tuesday and interred in Newton Cemetery, after which ser vices were held in M. E. church—Rev. McCaslin officiating in the absence of the Pastor. The deceased was father of Mrs. Stephen Van Wert, of this place. IIESS. The Hess infant, adopted by a family named Cook, on West Creek, died on Sunday. Gen. Sickles' Patriotism. At the G. A. R. camp-fire at Philadel phia on Tuesday, Gen. Sickles was called upon for a speech and said : "It is impossible for me to ever resist an invitation from a patriotic people, such as I see before me, and therefore I speak. I must thank you for the glorious reception you gave to Com rade McKinley. He stands for our people, he stands for our Hag, he stands for our nation before all the world. And standing in this position he deserves to be sustained by all our people, irrespective of creed or sec tion. "As an old soldier, as .in American, as an old Democrat, dyed in the wool, I believe Comrade McKinley has taken the right stand as to our foreign policy, and he will be heartily sustain ed by Americans everywhere." General Sickles' remarks were inter rupted by frequent applause, and at their close the Temple Chorus sang "Rally 'Round the Flag," many of the audience joining in. Ninety-First Anniversary. Last Monday evening, Mrs. Deliliah Quay-Clark celebrated her 91st anni versary at the residence of W. F. Lloyd, her son-in-law, with whom she has made her home, at this place, for many years. Surrounded by her grand-children, great grand-children and many friends a joyous evening was passed. Grandma Clark is quite active for one so far advanced in years. The PKESS congratulates this very ex cellent lady and expresses a hope that the "borrowed time" may be still farther extended to her. Injunction Dissolved. For some months there has been considerable litigation between S. S. Haeket and the Shippen School Dis trict over the erection of a graded school and the increase of the indebt edness. An injunction was issued re straining the district. Last Monday the Court dissolved the injunction and the school board will proceed at once with the work.
