EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23,1899. A Curiosity. In last week's issue of the Indepen dent there appeared a wall from some individual, with a sour stomach, who styled himself "Republican" (?). A perusal of the silly stuff may delude those citizens not familiar with the situation in this county, yet none will be caught by the wails of the writer who neither supports nor labors for the success of Republican candidates, yet lias the cheek to pose as a Republi can. We care nothing for the "rot" hurled at us—yet we must have more influence in Cameron county than the writer gives us credit, when the fact is taken into consideration that Messrs. Gleason and (iaskill received the al most solid endorsement of the Repub licans of the county at the primary elections. It was the general senti ment of the tax-payers of the county that Messrs. Gleason, Gaskill and Vogt were safe men for county commission ers and should be re-elected. The de feat of Mr. Gleason was simply owing to the fact that he declined to canvass the county, in accordance with an agreement made by all the candidates some time before the election and was violated by some, who did solicit. Mr. Gaskill and Mr. Vogt declined to violate the pledge and remained at home attending to their business until the day before election, while Mr. Mason was hustling for votes for him self and received the "dead" votes of all such individuals who have the gall to style themselves "Republicans." As to Mr. Burlingame the PRESS has none but the kindest feeling and, as we informed his son H. D., early in the season we should support his can didacy unless Mr. Gaskill would be a candidate for re-election. Delos Bur ! lingame is not to be caught with any j such clap-trap stuff as that emanating j t from the self-confessed sore head. | During the campaign for the nomina- , tion not a word was said by the PRESS i for or against any candidate —that was j left to be expressed by the voters at i at the primaries, where they voted for i the candidates direct and instructed the delegates. Every line of the article published in j the Independent is a tissue of false- 1 hoods, from start to finish. Big Excitement. Last Friday a cfeer made its appear ance in C. B. Howard & Company's | mill pond, causing great excitement ' among the men. The doe, for such | it was, evidently had been chased by j dogs, bounded into the pond among j the logs and men working there. All i hands made for the frightened animal | with pick-levers, poles, etc., but the [ deer was too fast for them. Bob Clark i struck it several times over the head j and Ed Litrenau endeavored to catcli jit by the horns and was astonished to to see it leap over him. Ed says, j "How him fly." The deer got away ! and made for the mountain, followed | by a number of men. University Association. , Nov. 27: Nathaniel Hawthorn, Rev. Robt.

A prominent clergyman of the Epis copal church, while traveling down in the backwoods of Maine, was obliged | to spend the night at a farm house. In conversation with the farmer's wife, he asked: "Are there many Episco palians about here?" She replied: "Wal, really, I dunno; the hired man killed some sort of a critter the other day out back of the barn, but I think he 'lowed 'twas a woodchuck." Your Attention, Please. Anyone is liable to make a mistake, and many are just as liable to be mis taken. We haye no apologies to make but some people have, in some way, grasped the idea that Prof. King is to deliver a lecture Friday evening, at the M. E. church. Such is not the case, however. He is going to give a pro misciously arranged program that will be highly pleasing to everybody. Re member that Mr. King possesses hu morous talent unsurpassed, and all who hear him will acknowledge that the Irish, German, Scotch and American dialects are spoken in all their genu ineness. If you want to laugh, hear him; if you wish to acquire knowledge from the best elocutionary teacher in America, hear him. Prof. King gives special notice that no extra charge will be made for dys peptics; no rebate given where an auditor faints from laughter, or where benefits are received. Come all and sit in the sunshine of good humor and mirth. Be good, be happy, be good natured, be sympathetic, and the ways of life will be smoother and brighter. Friday evening of this week, in M. E. church. Admission 35 cts., children 15 cts. EPWORTH LEAGUE. Three Thousand Feet Deep. A Bradford correspondent says: Mike Miller has the deepest oil well in the northern field. It is more than 3,000 feet in depth. The cable which he used in drilling the well broke some time ago, and since then he has done no drilling. He is about to get a new cable and commence where he left off. He hopes to find in the re mote depths another productive oil sand. There are quite a number of oil people who believe that he will get something if he perseveres. It would be remarkable if he should. There would in that case be an immediate re drilling of thousands of oil wells throughout this section of the state. "Frank Harvey's play 'The World Against Her,' was produced for the first time in Brooklyn last night at the Grand Opera House by Agnef Wallace Villa, supported by a remark ably well-balanced company. The plot of the play of which a sketli has already been given, proved to be a strong melodrama of a much higher order of merit than one is accustomed to find or to expect in pieces of its class. It scored a decided success, the principals being recalled after each act. The story is in itself of exciting inter est, and as worked out in incident, situation and dialogue appeals strongly to the common sympathies and excites the purest emotions of human nature. The self-sacrificing, fearless love of mother for her child, the sufferings of wronged and much injured wife, the bright side of life among the poor, contrasted with its hardships and gloomy surroundings, the Christian kindness which the lowly extend to each other and to those more destitute than themselves —these are all phases of life which are treated naturally and with such simple power. The pre valent sombre tone of the play is re lieved by touches of humor, introduced by the showman and his wife and the love by-play of a romantic girl in her teens and her not very demonstrative sweetheart. Mr. Harvey's play had considerable I success in England before it was secur ed for this country. It is beyond a | dout, destined to become popular here j with the vast multitude of play goers who like melodrama, pure and simple, i The individual members of the excel ; lent company elicited warm applause ! from the crowded house. It is cleverly ! acted and handsomely staged."— | Brooklyn Eagle. i At the opera house, Friday evening, Nov. 24. Admission 35c. children, 25c; ! Reserved seats 50c. Tickets on sale at iH. S.

Vice President Hobart Dead . PATKKSOX, N. J., NOV. 21. — Vice President Garret A. Hobart died at 8:30 this forenoon. The Vice President had been failing since late yesterday after noon, although the reports given out at the house were that he was holding his own. At midnight he became uncon scious, and at seven o'clock this morning lie had an attack of agina pectoris, from which lie never rallied, i1 is death followed at 8:30 o'clock. Mrs. Hobart, Garret A. Hobart, Jr., Dr. Newton, Mrs. Newton, who is a cousin of Mrs. Hobart, and the nurse were at the patient's bedside constantly from the time lie became unconscious. At 7:30 o'clock the Vice Presi dent's secretary, Mr. Evans, called up the White House by telephone and notified President McKinley that Mr. Hobart was dying. At 9 o'clock Mr. Evans communicated again with the President, notifying him of the Vice President's death. The flags on public buildings and many private residences were immediately half-masted when the news of the Vice President's death became known. The bell on the City Hall be gan tolling at 10 a. m., and con tinued at short intervals. The Passaic county court met at 10 o'clock and adjourned in token of respect to the dead Vice Presi dent. The funeral will probably be held next Saturday, although no public announcement of this fact has yet been made. Although the Vice President's death had been expected at any time, there was still hope among his personal friends in Patterson that he would survive for some time to come. The neighbors and life-long friends of the Vice Presi dent were deeply affected over his death. Soon after the news of Mr. hart's death was sent over the the wires, telegrams of condolence began to arrive at Carroll. Among the first to send words of sympathy and condolence to Mrs. Hobart were President and Mrs. McKinley. Before Mr. Hobart became un conscious he was able to converse with Mrs. Hobart about some pri vate affairs. He was very patient and showed his remarkable will power to the last. President McKinley sent word that he would endeavor to have a talk with Mrs. Hobart over the telephone. The business houses and public buildings in Patterson have been draped in black. Telegrams an nouncing Mr. Hobart's death were sent to many of his old friends in public and private life. Among them Senator llanna of Ohio, Senator Sewall and Gov. Voorhees of New Jersey. During the fore noon many of the Vice President's intimate friends and neighbors called at Carroll Holland left their cards. An Apology. Our morlest friend, Hon. I. K. Hock ley, feels sorely grieved over our inno cent reference to the fact that as Chair man of the Democratic County Com mittee, he was made a tool by design ing politicians to injure Col. Barnett, candidate for State Treasurer, and feels aggrieved that we classed him with the character assassins. Since Col. Barnett is elected by the hand some majority of 110,000 in the State and led the ticket in Cameron county, we are ready to whitewash you, I. K. Prepare your manifesto, a la Andrews, and we shall gladly wipe out the stain, but don't do it again. Harry Harrison, the Syracuse boy, known as the "human ostrich" has been amazing the students of the Uni versity of Buffalo by his wonderful performances. At a recent exhibition of his ability to swallow different things j in the line of hardware, he started in | with a couple of good sized knife blades i which he calmly bit off the handle and ! gulped down with much relish. Fol | lowing this feat with the knife blades Harrison swallowed a one and one-half J inch screw, two lath nails, which he ! bit in half, fifty two-ounce tapestry j tacks, three one-half inch screws and finished by chewing up and swallowing j a good sized glass goblet. Ho is a puzzle to the physicians, who say his act is nothing short of marvelous. i t Silence is duubly golden when you can't think of a satisfactory answer. TERMS: $ 2.00 —$1.50 IN ADVANCE.

Harry Harris, who murdered his young wife in Baltimore, some time ago, entered a plea of "Not guilty," at the preliminary hearing last Saturday.

One of the contemporary poets asks* "Where are the bright girls of the past?" Our own observation is that some of them are administering cau tious doses of paregoric to the bright girls of the future.—Ex. All the local puddle and rolling milie of the American Iron and Steel Com pany, at Lebanon, have suspended operations. The cause is an exhausted coal supply, resulting from the car famine. Some dogs chased a deer into How ard's pond a few days ago, and in an attempt to capture it some of the men severely wounded it, and it is re ported that some boys found its lifeless carcass a few miles above town the fol lowing day. Private .Jesse J. B. Wall, of the Tenth regiment, has been appointed millitary instructor at the Uniontown Soldiers' Orphans' School. Private Wall is a son of J. Sutton Wall, chief draughs man in the International Affairs De partment, and accompanied Colonel Barnett in his stumping tour of the State. Two young girls, the Misses Rider, of Short Mountain, Blair county, made a record for corn husking this fall. In eight and one-half days they husked 1,448 bushels, and in eleven days 1,923 bushels, an average of 175 bushels per day. During the first eight and one half days they had the nubbins to con tend with; the last two and one-half days the best of corn. A Pasture in the Woods. Alii' i.: tin- prominent cuttle dcnlcrd who visit Buffalo at regular intervals foi the purpose o! purchasing stoci; is George E. Brown, of Olean, says a recent dis patch. Jcist at present Mr. Drown is conducting an experiment in attempting to use the hemlock slashings, as the timber tracts which have been cut over to obtain bark are termed, as cattle and sheep ranches. About a year ago Mr. Brown pur chased of C. W. & F. H. Goodyear, the Buffalo lumber dealers, who own an im mense acreage of the finest hemlock timber in Pennsylvania, 18,000 acres of deuudad hemlock lands in l'otter countv. Fifteen thousand acres of it is in a solid block. The Goodyears had stripped the hemlock bark and timber aud left the hardwood standing, such as was not broken of: bv the falling hemlock. The price paid was less than a dollar an a re It is a rough, mountainous section, watered by trout streams that for years have made this section famous among fishermen, and the soil is very productive. Little of the tract is level or suitable for farming, the valleys being very narrow and the hills steep. Brown's idea is to burn the land ov;r. after saving what hardwood he can, sow timothy seed and fence the entire tract in with wire. This is the first season he has experimented and he is well pleased witii results. Last spring he bought 700 head of Canadian cattle at the East Buffalo market and turned them out to run over his l'otter county ridges. This fall he sold the herd to Eastern dealers. Ife found that the cattle did tar better on the new land than other herds he owned did on his worn out pas ture lands in Western New York. His idea is not to winter the cattle; he has never done that, but to buy lean cattle on the Buffalo market every spring and pasture them on his Potter county range. The Buffalo & Susquehanna railroad runs through his lands and he can get a direct line to take the cattle in and to whip them out in the fall. Next spring he expects to turn an immense herd out on his ranch and also a large number of sheep The country is admirably adapted foi grazing sheep, which he will winter there on a big farm he will have cleared uf> for that purpose. For years thousands of acres of denuded lands that comprise the I timber belt of Western Pennsylvania I have been sold for taxes, being counted j absolutely worthless by their owners, who ; were only interested in the timber. Mr. Brown is very enthusiastic over ! the outlook and other cattle dealers are | turning their attention to the possibilities | that his experiment has revealed. That section of Pennsylvania is one of I the best watered in the 1 nited States, ! the lands are cheap and the expense of j burning them over, seeding down and j fencing with wire is not great. On these ! new lands the timothy grows to the J height of five feet. Only one man was i required to take care of Mr. Brown's I herd this season, he says. NO. 39.
