At this juncture in the proceedings Mr. Howard highly complimented the Convention upon the excellent ticket nominated and delivered a ringing Re publican speech. Upon motion the nominations were unanimously endorsed. The committee on resolutions reported the following, which were adopted: RESOLUTIONS. The Republicans of Cameron county ratify and reaffirm the principles and policy of the Republi can party as declared by the Republican National Convention at St. Louis and the Republican State Convention of Penn'a of August 24th, 1899. We heartily endorse the Republican State ticket and call on all Republican state ticket and call on all party of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and Mc- Kinley. We heartily pledge our support to the ticket this day nominated, Mr. A. C. Blum presented the resolu tion that was laid over from the last con vention, amending rule 8, which leaves with the County Chairman the authority to call the County Convention. For future information we herewith insert the resolution: "Strike out that part of Section 8, page 5, commencing with 'pro viding, turther, that the County Con ventions held for the election, etc,' and ending with 'of the date of the fall elec tions.' " The object of the amendment is for the purpose of obviating the calling of two or more conventions in Presiden tial or other years. The amendment, as presented by .Mr. Blum was uuanimously adopted. Mr. J. O. Brookbank presented the following amendmeut to Section 11, which was laid over for action at future convention: AMENDMENT TO SECTION 11. Provided, whenever the member of the County "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21,1899. Committee, or the Vigilance Committee for an election district, shall for any reason fail to per form the duties enjoined upon them in section 11, that the Republican voters assembled at the place and hour designated in the call for the holding of the Primaries may proceed to hold an election in compliance with the rules herein in force. J. O. BROOKBANK, H. H. MULLIN, JOHN MCDONALD. President Howard then introduced Mr. B. W. Green. Chairman-elect, who addressed the convention, thanking them for the honor conferred, and delivered an enthusiastic speech in behalf of the Re publican principles and paid a glowing tribute to the Nation's choice for Presi dent—Wm. McKinley. Mr. Green eloquently referred to Col. Barnett, the gallant soldier who leads the Republican ticket in Pennsylvania. The convention applauded his address. Mr. Green was followed by Mr. Gleason, Mr. Gaskill, Mr. Butler and Mr. Barclay in short but timely remarks. Harmony dwells in the Republican ranks once more and we hope each and every individual will lay aside, for all time, any personal grievances they may have, and stand for the party of progress, the friend of right and the oppressed; the greatest and grandest party ever known in this land; the party to be de pended upon in time of danger. In short, the party that was loyal in the dark days and is loyal to-day. "In unity there is strength" and let us hope the Republicans of Cameron county will stand loyally at their guns, not only this year but for years to come. The only possible chance for Democracy to get a "smell" in Cameron county has been through dissensions in our ranks, and wholesale ''boodling." Let us hope that such days are numbered with the past and if we do not mistake the expressions of representative Republicans, such tactics will be dangerous to again attempt in this county. Duties of a Hotel Porter Explained. A prominent Emporium hotel pro prietor thus explains the duties ot a hotel porter: Get up not later than five o'clock in the morning and first look at the call board and promptly call the guests as the call board directs. If you have guests for early train, say 5:10, you must get up at four and at 4:30 call your guests. Next lake the cuspidors, wash and clean them. Take your broom and sweep out, leaving no dust or dirt in. comers; then take your mop or scrub pail and mop or scrub your rooms nicely, leaving no tobacco stains on the floor. Be sure to uiop your floor dry. If this is not don? your floor never looks clean. Then wash your mop and wring it dry; don't throw your mop in some corner with mop head down but put it where it will dry and be nice and clean when you need it again. Then dust tables and chairs and all wood work, cigar case, etc. After you get breakfast fill ice coolers and sweep the sidewalk. It will then be time to ask if there are any passengers going east. Goto the depot and return promptly and don't loiter along the route. Now you can take a little rest and promptly buy a "Speck" for ten cents and have a good smoke, made by Young Brothers, of Farrandsville, Pa. Married at Olean. Mr. Blanchard Rupert, an employee of the Climax Powder Company, at Em porium, and Miss Buuigardner, of Beech Creek, Clinton county, Pa., were married at Olean, N. Y., on Tuesday. The young couple will take up their residence at this place. New Band rtill. C. B. Howard & Co., are contemplat ing the erection of a band saw mill at the mouth af Cook's Run. The new indus try will ruu day and night and saw hard wood as well as hemlock. The plant at this place would probably be abandoned. The Last Ride. Josiah Howard invited a number of citizens to join him yesterday in a trip over the Emporium & Rich Valley R. R., and enjoy the beautiful scenery be fore the Clear ('reek part of the road is taken up. It is uot necessary for us to say the party enjoyed the outing. It is one of the most pleasant trips one can take. A Lesson for Boys and Girls. Boys and girls, I will tell you of two boys I knew and see if you diaw the same lesson from their lives that I do. I think the lesson quite as applicable to girls as boys. Both boys were natives of my natal town as were their father's both of whom I knew well, one was a member of one of the leading firms in this country for the manufacture of woolen, cotton and print goods; the other a small farmer. The manufacturer's son, was a room mate of mine one term at ap academy, and while I was studying arithmetic, algebra and geometry, he was reading Horace Cicero and Virgil. He was quick to learn and was well and hjalthy. His expenses were paid by his father and he had all the spending n»ney he needed. I do not think he ever earned a dollar. lie did not seem to be ambitious to place his name high as a scholar, and thought little of busi ness. He was bound to enjoy life and saw no real necessity for labor. He had mon«y when he wanted it, and his expectations were large. He seemed willi .3 to let the future care for itself. He never entered college and never ac complished anything worthy of note, cither as a scholar or a business man. He died many years ago. The farmer's boy, when quite young, got a situation as clerk, in a general store about half a mile from his father's home, where'he lived, walking back and forth. After awhile he obtained a situation where he had charge of a store; from here he went to an academy and fitted himself to teach, using the money he had saved while clerking. He had a good home togo to and a faithful and affectionate mother who looked carefully after his childhood and who still followed him with her prayers and counsel, but I do not think he was ever furnished any money by his father, who had a large family to care for, and a small New England farm was far from a gold mine. From the academy he became a teacher. He never took a college course, but jumping this, took a theological course and was ordained a Congregational minister. For some years he occupied a pulpit in one of the places of summer resort in western Mas sach .<etts. where the elite of New York and Boston are wont to spend their vacation, at a liberal salary and to the satisfaction of his people, lie has al ways been an earnest Sunday school worker and both as teacher and minister has been a success. Now boys and girls the lesson I draw from the lives of these two boys is that success in life depends not upon our father's money, but upon our own individual efforts. Do you see it as I do ? Of course if you are to work your own way to a position in life, you must deny yourselves, use economy and work—work hard and persistently. Never give up, and whether your aim be a profession, business or science put your whole body and mind into the work. Doing this you are as certain to succeed 1 as anything in the future can be certain, llich fathers, as a rule, do not produce great men or great women; truly this should not be so, but so it is. Had the farmer's boy had the money to take a college course he should have made a larger, broader minded man. Would he ? Had he thought best, he might have worked his way through college, but his life shows a college course is not absolutely necessary to success as a minister neither is if to any of the professions or to busi ness, but rightly used it broadens the mind and increased powers what ever the profession or business.

E. M. HURTEAU. Port Allegany Captured. Last Friday, the Mountaineer Hose ! Company of this place were guests of Star Hose Company, of Port Allegany, and right royally treated were our boyß and their wives. In fact nothing was too good for the Mountaineers and the town was theirs if they only asked for it The Stars are capital entertainers and we hope we may have the pleasure of returning the compli ment at some future time. During the morning the first nines of the two companies played a game of ball, which resulted in a victory for the stars by a score of 10 to 7. Chet •)olley pitched for the Stars and Orvis Hemphill for the Mountaineers. Both are good pitchers. Henry Haupt is still searching for the balls. Fun was galore and the day was one of good feeling and good fellowship. The great attraction of the day was the game of ball to be played between Emporium and Smethport teams for a purse of S6O. Our boys naturally ex pected to run up against a stiff game and were not in the least disappointed. Realizing that we must play ball and being short four of our best men, Messrs. Freil.. Stout and MeManigal, of Renovo, kindly came to our rescue and greatly assisted in winning the game by a score of 11 to 8, in favor of Em porium. Up to the sixth inning the score stood seven to eight in favor of Smethport. Now commenced the fun. By a bock on the part of Smethport's pitcher, Emporium tied the score and then the "rooters" got in their work; Smethport became rattled just as Em porium did in the third, and our boys made three more runs. The game was good, yet there were no brilliant plays on either side. We hope to see the return game at an early date at this place. The following is the official score of the game: EMPORIUM. ab r b sh o a e Farrell lb 5 2 0 0 6 2 1 George 2b 5 2 2 1 4 2 2 Stout ss 5 0 2 1 2 4 1 MeManigal 3b 5 11 0 10 1 W. Friel 4 2 1 0 2 4 0 M.
