"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß.
EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2,1899.
A Successful Fair.
The Fair gotten up by the M. E. 1
Sunday School class, known as the
Willing Workers, and held last week !
in the Opera House, resulted fairly
successful. Had not the Humphrey's
Cosmopolitan Concert Company com- !
pletely failed them by not appearing, 1
this class would have been enabled to
have paid off their entire assumed ob- !
ligation of over a hundred dollars, out j
of the net proceeds.
The fancy goods department was j
well represented with many useful and ,
beautiful articles, some of which were ;
donated but most of which were made
by the class. The concert on Thurs
day evening by the home Glee Club ;
was very well rendered and enthusias- j
tically received. The side entertain
ment consisting of Bible history scenes, J
set up by Mr. E. M. Bates, of Williams- !
port, Pa., was decidedly ingenious in !
its conception, accurate in the details j
of execution and withal highly instruc- j
tive and entertaining. All who wit- i
nessed it and listened to the story of j
explanation as recited by Miss Grace I
Lloyd, expressed their appreciation of j
it as very fine.
The main feature of the fair however j
was the agricultural exhibit, gotten up j
by Mrs. Heilman and Mrs. Stoddard, j
This exhibit surpassed that of many of |
the regular county agricultural fairs.
It is due to the farmers of the county !
to make especial mention of some of j
the best of these excellent products, i
The largest apples were presented by j
Mrs. F. P. Sykes, of Four Mile; the !
next largest by Matthew Phoenix, of .
Cameron; the largest quantity by any I
one person was by E. D. Sizer, of!
Sizer vi lie. The largest potatoes were i
presented by Frank Kinsler, of Josiah
Howard's farm, and by David Peasley; :
the next largest by A. C. Goodwin and ,
the largest quantity by Jas. Hobson.
The largest squash by Orren Freeman, j
second by Mrs. F. P. Sykas and by W.
L. Thomas. The largest pumpkin by
W. L. Ensign; the largest beets by Mrs.
Franklin Housler; the best lot of Ruta
Beggas by W. L. Thomas; the best flat
turnips by L. Lockwood; the best lot 1
of carrots by the Sizer sisters. The
cabbage presented by B. L Spence, ;
P. S. Culver and I. M. Reynolds pos
sessed so nearly equal merit that it
was impossible to decide between
them—it was simply excellent; Mr.
Spence, however, presented the great
est quantity. The wheat presented by
L. G. Cook, the buckwheat by Al.
Wright and the pop corn by E. W.
Gaskill deserve especial mention as
being very fine products of the farm.
We must not forget to make special
mention of the excellent rye bread
furnished by Mrs. Blumle, nor the
beautiful and plump little four weeks
old pig by Mr. Blumle; also the branch
of apples by Edwin Close. This branch
was two feet long and had on it nine
teen perfect apples. There were
several other donations of much merit
but space forbids making mention of
only a few of the best.
This fair has demonstrated to the
people of Emporium and vicinity that
Cameron county need not be ashamed
of her agricultural products nor of the
people who cultivate them. We are
glad that Mrs. Heilman thought of
making such a collection in connection
with the fair, as it has paved the way
for the making of a larger and more
complete exhibit along this line at
some future day.
/lore Pressure.
The St. Marys Gas Company are
placing a steam force pump on their
line between this place and St. Marys
for the purpose of forcing the gas
through to Emporium. This will be
good news to our citizens, who suffered
severely during the cold snap last
winter when the gas pressure was very
low.
THE BEST IS CHEAPEST —Is it not?
That is what you get when you pur
meats, groceries, etc , at Our House.
Everything guaranteed to please.

New Catholic Diocese.
! A new Catholic diocese, to be formed
i of Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Hunting
! don, Centre, Clinton, Clearfield, Cam
j eron and Elk counties is being agitated,
|to be called Altoona diocese The
' petition has gone to Rome and is now
| awaiting the approval of the Pope.
How To Keep Apples.
| An exchange tells us that the proper
j method to keep apples in winter is to
1 wrap them in old newspapers so as to
! exclude the air. The newspaper, how-
I ever, must be one on which the sub
! scription has been paid, otherwise
I dampness resulting from what is
j "dew" may cause the fruit to spoil.
Lecture
The Epworth League has been
! fortunate in securtng Rev. Pardoe, of
Renovo, to deliver a lecture on "Child
; hood," in the M. E. church, Friday
| evening of this wekk, and it is hoped
j that our people will all go and hear
! him. All are invited; especially par
i ents and school teachers. No admis
| sion will be chargod. Doors open at
! 7:30 o'clock. This lecture is sure to
I please.
nrs. Vern Hillman.
Edna Eugenia Hillman was born at
! Campbell, Steuben Co., N. Y., Febru
i ary, 1875, and died at Galeton, Pa.,
1 Oct. '2lst, after four weeks' sickness
; with malaria and typhoid fever. Her
| maiden name was Rendt and she was
| the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie
I Rendt, of Emporium. A husband,
; mother, father, one brother and three
j sisters are the immediate relatives.
I The funeral was held at the M. E.
; church Tuesday forenoon and was
very largely attended. Burial took
i place in the cemetery at Sabinsville,
! Pa. Rev. Hugh Boyd, A. M.. pastor
of the M. E. church, officiated. Mrs.
I Hillman was an excellent young lady,
and had a legion of friends. The hus
band has the sympathy of all in his
terrible affliction. —Galeton Despatch.
Warner-May nes.
N. P. Warner and Miss Annie B.
j Haynes were married at Rathbun, on
| Tuesday, at the residence of the bride's
j parents—Rev. Graybell officiating. A
: large number of friends from Empo
• rium, St. Marys and other places wit-
I nessed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs.
! Warner arrived in Emporium yester
| day and have commenced housekeep
ing on Fifth street. The calithumpians
j visited the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
j Warner, and our citizens were aroused
i from their slumbers about mid-night
! by a terrible explosion. At first it was
\ thought an explosion had happened at
j the furnace. It proved to be friends,
| (or fiends) of the newly married pair
j and proceeded to keep up a lively can
| nonading for an hour or more. The
: cannon was well loaded and made noise
| enough to wake the dead.
The University Association, i899-'OO.
The members of the University As
sociation met in the basement of the
Baptist Church, Monday evening, Oct.
j 30. The purpose of this meeting was to
reorganize the Center, decide on the
j course of work to be pursued during
.; the winter.
J Those who have followed the work
S of the Association for the past two
i years will require no urging to con
tinue this interesting and instructive
line of study. If the centre so elects,
i the entire winter may profitably be
j devoted to the Literature Course. All
I who are interested in the spread of
, literary knowledge and culture are
I cordially invited to join the Associa
! tion. Teachers in the public schools,
' Sunday school teachers, and High
' School' pupils will find the work par
' tieularly helpful. Your active interest
; co-operatien is desired in this impor
- | tant work.

, ! can Literature.

Elocutionary Entertainment.
The Daughters of Rebekah connected
with Beulah Lodge, have engaged Miss
Eva L. Dunning, the popular Reciter,
and will give an entertainment at Odd
Fellows Ifall, Tuesday evening next.
The general public invited. It is hoped
the citizens of Emporium will bear in
mind the date of his entertainment
and attend in large numbers. The
proceeds are for the benefit of Odd
Fellows Building Fund, an association
richly entitled to your patronage.
This organization has expended thou
sands of dollars in Emporium to aid
the sick and bury the dead—in fact
their charity has always been liberally
bestowed upon the needy. Make a
memoranda and be sure to attend.
Tickets, 25 cents.
Serious Accident.
Last Monday, Lewis Conway, who is
assisting in placing a new roof on the
furnace cast house met with an acci
dent that might have caused his death.
The workmen were standing on a
swing ladder under the rusted roofing
and when it became necessary to push
the plank along, Mr. Conway stepped
for the roof frame but lost his balance.
Ho stepped onto the rotten roof and it
gave way, precipitating him to the
ground. His fall was somewhat eased
by striking against a water pipe,
thence onto a wheel-barrow. When
taken to the Warner House and Dr.
Smith called it was found that the
muscles of the neck were torn from
the bones and he suffered terribly.
The patient is doing nicely at this
writing and will be about again within
two weeks.
He's There.
Can our neighbor hoist the name of
J. I. Mitchell? If not; put up Reilly.
—lndependent. The PRESS is a stalwart
Republican journal and Judge Mitchell
in no uncertain tones stands squarely
on the Republican platform and in his
letter of acceptance his declaration of
principles make it a pleasure for us to
support him. He represents those
principles we believe in and has the
manliness to say so. Judge Mitchell's
name was promptly placed at our mast
head. By the way, wo should like the
Independent to tell us whether the
Democrats of Cameron county have a
county ticket in the field—we have
looked in vain at your mast-head but
fail to discover it. We are not sur
prised that our venerable friend does
not hoist a ticket nominated in a
packed convention and upon a plat
form so entirely opposed to the pros
perity and happiness of our people.
These are prosperous times and
three good meals a day will work
wonders and we should not be sur
prised to see both Hackett and Hockley
proudly wearing a badge bearing the
handsome picture of Col. Barnett, of
the Fighting Tenth. Come along
neighbors and we will make it unani
mous.
Our County Ticket.
The Republican ticket presented to
the voters of Cameron county this year
is an excellent one and every voter
should take especial pride in giving it
a rousing majority —from the highest
to the lowest.
For Sheriff we have J. D. Swope,
who everybody likes as a citizen and
respects him for his many good traits.
He will fill the position, so creditably
occupied by Sheriff Mundy, to the
satisfaction of all. Chas. Gleason and
E. W. Gaskill, who have shown such
excellent fitness in the office of Com
missioner are again placed before the
people for re-election. Both are gen
tlemen of strict integrity and have only
the welfare of the citizens of Cameron
county at heart. See that they are
both elected; you will rest easy, know
ing you have two men in whom you
have confidence and respect. For
County Auditors we have Charles L.
Butler and William 11. Logue. Both
are eminently qualified for the impor
tant trust. Mr. Logue has faithfully
filled the position for three years. Mr.
Butler the other candidate, has never
aspired to county office and always
stood manfully by the principles of
that great party we all love. Mr. But
ler will make a careful and efficient of
ficial. These are excellent gentlemen,
voters of Cameron, and should and will
! receive a large vote. Republicans,
| especially, should not fail to vote, when
! this year it means not only an endorse
! ment of President McKinley, Admiral
| Dewey, and the gallant boys who brav
j ed the dangers of battle, but it will
show to the people of these states
where Pennsylvania may be found in
1900, when the question of Poverty or
Prosperity will be the great battle.

each Saturday night and not for Want,

They Don't Like Mitchell Now.
(Philadelphia Inquirer.)
When John I. Mitholl was named the
other clay as the candidate for the
vaeaney on the Superior Court bench
he was praised by the organs of the
insurgents and the organs of the assis
tant Democratic newspapers generally
as a fair man and an ornament to the
bench. These assistant Democrats
don't like Judge Mitchell now as well
as they did. They expect him, we
suppose, to vote for Creasy and praise
the horoism of Aguinaldo, and to find
in this campaign only a State issue.
Judge Mitchell's letter of acceptance
does not give these State issue gentle
men much comfort. Some of the
points ho makes are so telling that
special attention should be directed to
them. He says, for instance:
I am a radical Republican, and so Jong as my
party adheres to its fundamental principles I
shall stand steadfastly by it at the polls when
ever its supremacy in the State or Nation is at
stake. I regard this as a conscientious duty, for
a false ballot in such a case is an assault upon
the integrity of popular government.
A real Republican is the last man on
earth for these insurgents and assistant
Democratic organs to take to kindly.
If Judge Mitchell had only come out
with a fling at the Republican ticket or
a finely rounded sentence or two rele
gating national affairs to the back
ground ho would to-day be highly in
favor, but he does not agree at all with
these gentlemen who would overthrow
Colonel Barnettand place the disciple of
Mr. Bryan in the State Treasury. Re
publican victorv is needed, according
to him, for he says:
In these eventful times I considerthecontinued
supremacy of the Republican party in State aud
Nation essential to the welfare of all the people
under the sovereignty of the United States.
Therefore, I cannot allow any voter to be misled
in voting for me upon the false assumption that I
am not loyal to the party of my choice in the up
holding of our State and National administra
tions. I believe them to be honestly and faith
fully devoted to all of the most important princi
ples of public policy supported by the party from
the beginning down to this time.
Judge Mitchell has not much use for
the Democratic party. The time for
these Democrats to discuss our Spanish
possessions, he thinks, is after the
authority o* this Nation has beem com
pletely enforced. He is willing to
trust this matter in the hands of Presi
dent McKinley, but is very unwilling
to intrust it or the money qnestion to a
Democratic President. Consequently
he considers the elections on next
Tuesday to be highly important, for
they must have a potential influence
upon the Presidential election. He
adds :
Surely no true Republican can be willing to
intrust those affairs to the Democratic party as
now constituted and controlled. Therefore, if 1
were in 110 wise connected with the party as a
candidate, I would vote for Colonel Barnett and
the entire Republican ticket at the next election,
regardless of any factional differences within the
party. And I could not vote with any party that
may propose to haul down the American flag
wheresoever it has been planted under the
sovereignty of this Nation.
These are the words of a true patriot,
and we recommend them to thought
ful consideration ot every voter in
Pennsylvania. The Judge is very
careful to say that so far as the admin
istration of justice is concerned the
question of politics cannot enter into
it, but nevertheless he thinks it is only
right and proper that when a candi
date is before the people the people are
entitled to that candidate's views, and
so he gives them.
Our Democratic and insurgent
friends are not getting much comfort
out of this campaign. It is not much
of a year in Pennsylvania for men who
would tear down the party that sup
ports the wise and patriotic adminis
tration of President McKinley.
Sudden Death of James Cavanaugh.
The sudden demise of James Cava
naugh, aged 24 years and four months,
at the St. Charles hotel, at 4:30 o'clock,
Saturday afternoon, was a heartrend
ing shock to his family and a large
circle of friends.
The deceased was born in Emporium,
in June, 1875, and was the only son of
Mr and Mrs. Thou. Cavanaugli. He
has been in poor health for several
years, having suffered from a physical
strain while employed in Howard's
mill, terminating in heart disease which
was the direct cause of his untimely
end.
The body lay instate at the family
residence on Second Street,! where it
was viewed by many sorrowing friends,
until Teesday morning at nine o'clock,
when the funeral took place from St.
Mark's church, where Requiem Mass
was said over the remains, Rev. Father
Downey officiating. The Holy Father
preached an appropriate sermon, toucli
ingly illustrating his manly and cour
teous disposition and his reverance and
loving respect for his aged parents, be
sides whom, he leaves to mourn his
I loss, three sisters, viz: Mrs. Thomas J.
Lysett, Mrs Samuel Cline, and Miss
Ella Cavanaugb. The funeral was
largely attended by relatives and
friends; the A. O. 11. and the Fire De
partment attending in a body. The
pall bearers were taken from the Ham
ilton Hoso Company, of which lie was
a member. Beautiful floral offerings
from C. B. Howard & Co., A. O. H.,
Hamilton Hose Company, and numer
ous individual friends, completely cov
ered the casket. Interment was made
in the Catholic cemetery.
