hammock and the fun begins. They
are allowed five minutes in each ham
mock, and progress until they have
sat five minutes beside each lady in
the party. The girls have nothing to
do but sit still and look sweet until the
end of the game when they decide by
ballot which gentleman is entitled to
the prize for being the moat entertain
ing, and the chap who gets the fewest
votes is the booby.

RENOVO OIRL FOULLY nURDERED
IN BALTIHORE.
Husband Tenderly Carresses Young
Wife With One Arm While Death
Lurked in Other—Fatal Shot Fired
in Presence of Others -Brought to
Renovo for Interment.
Particulars of the shooting of Mrs.
Harry Harris by her husband in Balti
more, on Friday morning, created
considerable excitement in Renovo,
and cast a gloom over the entire com
munity as the victim of the felon's
bullet was the accomplished daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. A. Y. Jones, of the
Renovo Hotel, and is a young lady
universally loved and respected by
all who knew her.
Harris' violent temper is said to have
compelled his wife to leave him on
several occasions. She had been at
the home of her parents in Renovo
and last week received a telegram that
her husband was ill and she went to
Baltimore to nurse him. On Wednes
day Mr. Jones received notice that
again there was trouble and he started
immediately for Baltimore arriving
there on Thursday, with the intention
of taking his daughter home with him.
Harris seemed distressed. He asked
her father if he would let Eva stay if
he would behave himself. When told
that she would return home with her
father, Harris, who seemed rational
and penitent of his treatment to his
wife, walked quietly across the room
to where she was standing and put his
left arm around her neck as in a fond
caress, while with the other hand he
quickly pulled a revolver and pressed
it to her head and sent a bullet crash
ing into her brain. The tragedy took
place in the kitchen of the young
people's home, in the presence of the
girl's father and aunt and Harris' uncle,
all of whom were powerless to prevent
the crime. Harris fired the fatal shot
at 9:15 a. m., the bullet passing through
the brain and lodging over the right
ear. He might have turned the re
volver on the others or upon himself
had not Mr. Jones sprang upon him
and pionioned him to the floor while
the young man's uncle wrested the
weapon from his hand.
Eva Jones three years ago was at
tending the Peabody Conservatory of
Music. She had a fine voice and was
taking vocal instructions. Six months
after she first met Harris they were
married. Their baby, a daughter, is
nine months old He is 29 years of
age. She is 24 and a beautiful woman.
Mrs. Harris died at the University of
Maryland hospital early on Saturday
morning, and was brought to Renovo
on Monday and taken to the Renovo
hotel where the remains lay instate
until the funeral which took place on
Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock.
Services were conducted by Rev. J. D.
Cook, assisted by Rev. Robert Mc-
Caslin, of Emporium. Interment was
made in Fairview cemetery.
Harris, who was employed as a rail
road agent at Baltimore, languishes in
prison at the latter place, awaiting
trial for murder in the first degree. A
strong guard has been placed over him
to prevent any attempt at suicide, as
he raves like a maniac.
Renovo News: It was exactly 1.30
o'clock when the funeral ceremonies
began. Rev. Robert McCaslin, of
Emporium, preached one of the ablest
and most touching sermons ever heard
here. He, in turn was followed by
Rev. J. D. Cook, pastor of the Presby
terian church, who offered a most
devout and heartfelt prayer.
/lore Authority.
Constables now have powers identical
with policemen, and can arrest without
a warrant, and take before a local magis
trate, any offender against the peace or
violator of borough ordinances. The
justice may impose fine and costs, the
fine to be paid to the borough treasurer
for the use of the borough.
"When a man marries," says the
Chicago News,"he gives his name to
his wife, but when he fails in business
the akes hers."

On board U. S. A. Transport Grant,
October 1, 1899—Well here lam for
the sixth time on the sea on an army
transport, in excellent health and get
ting fat. Lieutenant O'Shea, Fourth
cavalry, Lieutenant Peck, Thirty-sev
enth infaiitry and myself, with 250 re
cruits for different regiments, went
aboard the transport Grant with the
Twenty-sixth infautry, (Colonel Ilice
commanding) on the 25th of September
nnd after six days tiavel in the direc
tion of the horizon (tor that was the
only tiling in sight) we are now in sight
of Molokai, in the Hawaiian islands, and
settled partly by lepers. We will reach
Honolulu to-night and go ashore in the
morning, where we will lay for several
days to coal ship.
My forty men arc scattered all over
the worid. I have so far come up with
fourteen of them. Nearly all of my men,
however, have been made acting Cor
porals, Sergeants and First Sergeants. Ser
geant Mackey is two days ahead of me on
the Sherman. Burnett is acting First
Sergeant still at the Presidio. Westfall
and Rissell are aboard as non commission
ed officers in Peck's company. Rosecrans
is his First Sergeant.
I have a company of 130, all regulars,
and don't know one of them, but they
know me now and are thoroughly con
vinced that they have a company com
mander. All the men have been exa
mined and vaccinated. The cxaminatien
was very severe and some of the men
were turned down after passing two
previous examinations. I was vaccinated
in Frisco and it is getting in its work
now. Then the doctor on the boat gave
me another for luck. I told him "thanks,
that'll take as big as a dollar." He
said, "here's another dollar; you have
got your money's worth" and proceeded
to write his check for the amount on my
arm, so 1 have now three pets.
The present transport service (as com
pared with that at the beginning of the
Spanish-American war) is a palace com
pared with a dugout. This boat is divid
ed into fireproof compartments which are
roomy and well ventilated. The decks
are o» iron and are kept perfectly clean.
Bunks arc of iron with laced canvas
bottoms. Each compartment has two
large double hatchways lcadiug up "be
tween decks," which is occupied as a
dining hall and tables and seats are pro
vided for all the men. The facilities for
bathing, washing clothes, dishes, etc., are
of the very best. The men do not live
on travel rations, but are served with an
abundance of food, well cooked in the
ship's kitchen. All men are required to
bathe every third day and are inspected
in underwear the day following the bath.
Every precaution i- taken to prevent
sickness. The ship carries in the cold
storage (which is kept below the freezing
point) every kind of meat, fish and poul
try that can be conceived. The Twenty
sixth infantry band, which is an excallent
organization, makes things lively with
four concerts each day. My very kindest
regards to all my friends.

Fire Alarms.
Yesterday about two o'clock the fire
whistles sounded and the entire depart
ment was called out. Smoke was issuiug
from Albert Ilaup's celler, on Second
street, caused by a leakage in gas pipe.
The fire was extinguished with small loss.
The next time Albert looks for a leak in
the gas pipe he will not use a lighted
match.
This Thursday morning another was
sounded, this time from the west ward.
lS.lt. McQuay's kitchen chimeney took a
notion to burn out and called a big crowd
and some excitement. No damage was
done.
Oen. Gordon's Lecture.
Gen. J. B. Gordon's lecture at the
opera house Tuesday evening, on
"The Last Days of the Confederacy"
was the best and most eloquent ad
dress ever delivered in Emporium.
Every seat in the large hall was taken
and the vast audience frequently ap
plauded the speaker. Miss Collins,
our energetic County Superintendent,
deserves the thanks for this treat.
Republican Rally.
The Republican rally at the opera
house last Monday afternoon was well at
tended for a day meeting. The stage
was beautifully decorated with flags and
bunting, under the direction of Mrs. E.
C. Davison, assisted by Mayor Howard,
Harry Hemphill and Orvis Hemphill.
Promptly at 2 o'clock secretary of the
county committee, C. Jay Goodnough,
called the meeting to order and read the
list of officers selected by the organization,
as follows: President—Hon. J. C. John
son; Vice Presidents—John Day, Sr.,
Geo. A. Walker, C. C. Fay, J. 0. Brook
bank, 11. J. Darren, C. F. Mankey, Jos.
Kaye, John Wygant, E. C. Davison, L.
Lockwood, W. L. Thomas.
Secretaries—B. L. Spence, F. A. Hill,
A. L. Ensign. Capt. Johnson called the
meeting to order and introduced the
Quintette, composed of five members of
the Fighting Tenth Regiment, whose
singing captured the audience. During
the meeting the boys were repeatedly
called upon and the hearty applause ac
corded them was evidence that their ex
collent singing was appreciated. Addresses
were made by Capt. Frank Rarr, of
16th. 'a. Vols., Sergt. Jessee Wall,
Corp. W. L. Dom and Lieut, A. B.
Young, all of the Fighting Tenth Regi
ment. The audience was well pleased
with the singing and addresses, yet were
disappointed at not haviog the pleasure
of hearing Gen. Gobin, who failed to get
here.
Mark Twain on the Jews.
The Jew is not a disturber of the
peace in an}' country. Even his enemies
will concede that. He is not a loafer, he
is not a sot, ho is not noisy, he is not a
brawler or a rioter, he is not quarrelsome.
In the statistics of crime his presence is
conspicuously rare—in all countries.
With murder and other crimes of vio
lence he has little to do ; he is a stranger
to the hangman. In the policee court's
daily long roll of "assaults" and "drunk
and disorderlies" his name seldom appears.
That the Jewish home is a home in the
truest sense is a fact which no one will
dispute. The family is knitted together
by the strongest affections; its members
show each other every due respect, and
reverance for the elders is an inviolate
law of the house.
The Jew is not a burden on the
charities of the State, nor of the city;
these could cease from their functions
without affecting him. When he is well
he works, when he is incapacitated his
own people take care of him. And not
in a poor and stingy way, but with a fine
and larae benevolence. His race is en
titled to be called the most benevolent of
all the races of men. A Jewish beggar
is not impossible perhaps ; such a tiling
may exist, but there are few men that
can say they have seen that spectacle.
The Jew has been staged in many un
complimentary forms but, so far as I
know, no dramatist has done him the
injustice to stage him as a bet;gar.
Whenever a Jew has real need to beg
his people save him the necessity of
doing it. The charitable institutions of
the Jews are supported by Jewish money
and amply. The Jews make no noise
about it; it is done quietly; they do not
na<: and harass us with contributions;
they give us peace and set us an example
—an example which we have not found
ourselves able to follow.—Mark Twain
in Harper's Magazine.
