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:
