"God's Rulin this (Juiverse Yet."
When you're feelin* blamed tough 'cause the
world treat you rough,
An' things never seem togo right.
When you're credit you bust.au' you're eyed with
distrust.
An' the future don't look very bright.
Don't give up an' cry, an' wish you could die.
Just hustle—its no use to fret—
There's room for you still, if you work with a
will-
God's rulin' this universe yet.
No use to get blue—take a happier view,
Keep you're courage a-boomln* at par,
If you're made of right stuff, don't you take any
bluff,
Always let people know where you are;
Strike out for the right an'your weaknesses fight,
An' you'll soon at the pinnacle get.
The right will prevail—never knew it to fail—
God's rulin' this universe yet.
When trials come fast an' your sky's overcast
With a mighty thick loweriu' cloud,
An' you hopelessly try to reason out why
Your sun wears a dark dismal shroud,
Don't doubt Providence 'cause you're held in
suspense,
An' your way with affliction's beset.
Look up with a smile trustin' God all the while-
He's rulin' this universe yet.

Can be Arrested for Fraud.
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can have arrest
ed for fraud any one who takes a paper
and refuses to pay for it. Under this
law the man who allows his subscrip
tion to run along for some time un
paid, and then orders it discontinued,
or orders the postmaster to mark it
"refused," and send a postal card noti
fying the publishers, lays himself
liable to arrest and fine,. the same as

Furnace in Blast.
Emporium Furnace No. 1, went in
blast this morning at 11:32, after being
idle over nine years. Everything is in
first-class condition and the furnace
started off in good shape. A light gas
explosion took place, but no damage,
except to frighten the sight-seers.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1899.
EHPORIUM WINS ANOTHER OA/IE.
The First Application Given Smeth
port at Port Allegany Rubbed in at
Emporium by a Score of II to 6.
The local base ball diamond was the
scene of a lively and interesting game,
last Thursday afternoon, when the
crack Smethport team crossed bats
with Emporium and met their second
defeat of the season. These teams
are pretty evenly matched and furn
ished one of the prettiest contests ever
seen here. The game was close and
exciting up to the fifth inning, when
Smethport bunched their hits and
batted in three runs givingthem a lead
which looked dangerouz for the home
team, but in the next three innings
Emporium found Fuller's delivery and
batted in ten runs, gaining a lead that
the visitors could not overtake. In
these three innings Emporium had the
visitors chasing leather so fast that
they were all run together like a foot
ball eleven and some of the players, in
their frenzy, went so far as to make
"foul tackles" on our base runners.
The features of the game were the
stick work of the Friels, Stout and
Quinn for Emporium, and Fuller and
Keefer for the visitors; the one-hand
catch of a liner and double play by
Will Friel, and the impartial decisions
of Umpire Joe Harris.
The following is the official score, as
taken for the PRESS:

PICKUPS.
Whose next?
A large crowd attended the game.
Fuller seemed to weaken toward the
last.
De "rooters" certain'y did git in
deir work.
The boys did well at their dance in
the evening.
Wonder what the "Jerseys" think of
Emporium now.
The home team gave some nice ex
hibitions of base running.
Quinn put Keefer's eye in mourning
when he stopped him at first.
Farrel got a high fly that he did not
have to move out of his tracks for.
Two brothers, Messrs. Will and Fritz
Seger were respective managers of the
opposing teams.
Overturf played a neat game in the
diamond, but was up against a streak
of hard luck at the bat.
That was an exhibition of "dirty"
ball playing that our people do not
like when the visitors' first baseman
interfered with Quinn when he was
running out a nice hit that was labeled
for three bases.
Now for Foot Ball.
This is the day of foot ball. The
hero of the gridiron succeeds the heros
of Manila in the public gaze. Next
Sunday's great "Philadelphia Press"
will be foot ball and Fall sport edi
tion. "The Press" will keep up this
season its national reputation for hav
ing the most complete and original
sporting reports in the United States,
and next Sunday's "Press" will em
phasize that fact at the opening of the
foot ball season. It will also contain
many strong features not in the world
of sports. Be sure to get next Sun
day's "Press."

ROUTED OUT JUDOE FOR WEDDING
Eloping Couple Made Happy Before
the Sun Arose.
Williamsport dispatch to Philadelphia Record.
W1 LLIAMSPORT. PA., Oct. 3. —Mr.
and Mrs. Alfred llobinson passed through
here this evening enroute for the former's
home at Emporium. When they went
the other way shortly after midnight this
morning, the latter's name was Emily
Nefcy. She had met Robinson by ap
pointment. They were on their way to
Eimira to circumvent parental objections.
Arriving there before daylight, City
Judge McDowell was routed out of bed
and quickly made them man and wife.
The bride's home is at Driftwood.
New Department Chief.
The Emporium Fire Department
met at the City Hall on Tuesday even
ing and accepted the resignation of
J. B. Schriever, Chief of the Depart
ment, and elected S. E. Murry, of the
Citizens Hose Co., as his successor.
Jos. Kaye, of the Ilamiltons, was
elected Assistant Chief to fill the
vacancy caused by the promotion of
Mr. Murry.
Big Potatoes.
Wm. Jordan, of Moore Hill, brought
to this office last Saturday, some prize
potatoes grown on his farm at the
above place. There were eleven of
them, each one weighing over a pound
and together would more than fill a
peck measure. In fact they have kept
a family of four persons in potatoes
since Saturday and they are not half
gone yet, and it might be well to state
that the family is not Dutch at that
price.
Lan Maclaren on the Church Hutineer
lan Maclaren will contribute to the
November Ladies' Home Journal an
article on"The Mutineer in the
Church." It will deal with the troubles
created by the mutinous members of
the congregation, and will prescribe a
course of treatment for those who stir
up discord. The fivmoua Scotch
preacher-author will doubtless give
some advice quite worth following, as
he is a man of wonderful resources.
What a Baby Can Do.
It can wear out a pair of kid shoes in
twenty-four hours.
It can keep its father busy advertis
ing in the newspaper for a nurse.
It can occupy both sides of the larg
est bed manufactured,{simultaneously.
It can cause its father to be insulted
by every second-class boarding-house
keeper at the seaside, who "never
take children," which in nine cases out
of ten is fortunate for the children.
It can make itself look like a fiend
just when mamma wants to show
what a pretty baby she has.
It can make an old bachelor in the
adjoining room use language that, if
uttered in the street, would get him in
prison for two years.—Penny Maga
zine.
The Waterman Phrase Contest.
Tbe contest for a gold mounted
Waterman fountain pen, given by the
social department of the Epwortli
League, last Friday evening, along
with a very entertaining program, was
a decided success. The entertainment,
by excellent talent, was highly appre
ciated by all, and the performers did
credit to themselves as well as to the
town. Some fifty persons out of the
hundred present engaged in the con
test for the pen, and after a careful
and thorough examination of the
papers, Miss Blanche Ludlam was
awarded the prize. At the close of the
program each one present was given a
satin book mark—a souvenir of the
occasion. The League here is pros
pering and the young people of that
society show superior tact in the act of
entertaining audiences, and should be
encouraged. This society has a pleas
ant manner of entertaining people
and ab the same time uplifting them
spiritually—and do it as though they
did it not.
Snow.
Last Thursday in the PRESS our local
weather forecaster said, for "Saturday,
cloudy; colder, and yon will see the ffrst
snow of the season," and it snowed.

OBITUARY
MRS. ALMA MLX, nee Woodworth,
whose demise was noted in these col
umns last week, was, at the time of her
death, one of the few remaining pio
neer residents of this section, having
been born near the present site of Ben
nezette, on May 26th, 1823. Her par
ents, Mr and Mrs.—Woodworth, were
among the early settlers of that section
and they carved out of the virgin for
est a home for themselves and children.
In those early days the settlers were
called upon to endure hardship and
privation. The nearest stores were
at Lock Haven, Bellefonte, and Olean,
N. Y., where they had to journey for
their supplies, and in many instances
the mills for grinding the grain they
raised were a score or more miles dis
tant ; and frequently the men carried
a bag of wheat or grain that distance
to have it made into flour. The women
and girls learned to spin end weave
and they madeall the clothing for their
families. Under such conditions Miss
Woodworth spent the early years of
her life.
On the 2d day of July, 1840, at the
age of 17 years, she was married to Mr.
Hezekiah Mix, of Gibson township, in
what was then Clearfield county, then
Elk, and now Cameron county. The
young couple soon founded a home
and they retained it together until the
husband's death, on Nov. 4th, 1893, a
period of over 53 years. Seven child
ren, all girls, were born to Mr. and
Mrs. Mix. Three of them, Delihah,
Catherine and Phoeba, died in infancy
while the others, Nancy Ellen, Eliza
Ann, Mary Emma and Clara Louise,
grew to womanhood and married. Of
these but one, Clara Louise, now Mrs.
J. O. Brookbank, survive their mother.
MRS. MIX died on Sept. 25th, 1899,
aged 7(i years, four months and 19 days.
The illness which finally caused her
death covered a period of several years
but she bore her suffering with chris
tian fortitude, calmly and patiently
awaiting the call of the Master to that
bourne where peace and everlasting life
supplant sorrow and disappointment of
our fleeting moments upon earth.—
MRS. MIX was universally loved and
respected and the full sympathy of her
sorrowing friends goes out to the sur
viving members of her family. Inter
ment was made in the family plot in
Oak Hill cemetery on Wednesday,
Sept. 27th, 1899. Rev Ebersole, of the
Advent church, officiated, assisted by
Rev. E. G. Piper, of the M. E. church.

Over an Embankment.
I-wist Monday evening as Sheriff
Mundy was coming up from Cameron
on his wheel, he went over a fifteen
foot embankment, sustaining a severe
sprain of the left shoulder. He was
riding along at a good gait, when his
attention was distracted from his
wheel and he went over the bank near
the P. & E. water tank, with the result
above mentioned. He was discovered
by the crew on the yard engine and
was placed on board and brought
home. Dr. DeLong was summoned
and dressed his injuries. He is out
around but carries his left arm in a
sling.
It is disgusting to hear some people
speak scornfully of girls who have to
work for a living. No sensible man is
dazzled by the glitter of a jeweled hand,
a gold bracelet or watch, bought on
"tick" perhaps. All this has not so
much fascination as a pleasant disposi- !
tion, happy intelligent face, a well 1
cooked meal and a clean and tidy
home. A rosy cheeked, happy face in j
the kitchen is worth a dozen operatic j
Bingers in the parlor, pawing upon the j
piano and screaming "A Flower from
Mother's Grave," or "My Mother Was j
a Lady," when very likely the poor j
mother is hanging out clothes in the j
backyard.—Austin Republican.

The mother who would have her
children healthy must not be afraid to
have them occasionally dirty. While
cleanliness is next to godliness, there
is a clean dirt that comes from contact
with the earth that is wholesome. Have
the little ones bathed frequently, insist
that thev come to meals with immacu
late hands and faces, but, between
meals, have them so dressed that they
are free to run and romp as they will,
is the advice which a prominent physi
cian gives.
