Possibilities of Haking a Comfortable
Living on a Rented Farm.
ADDRESS DELIVERED BY JOSIAH HOW
ARD, ESQ., OF EMPORIUM AT TIIE
FARMERS' INSTITUTE.
Any property on which the owner
can place a mortgage in tho open
market at home, has a value; and the
fact that all farms can be mortgaged,
proves that they have a value, and
answers in the affirmative the ques
tion as to whether a man can rent
an ordinary farm and clear his
living on it, over and above
the rental; but I think the master of
ceremonies to-day intended that we
should consider some of the possibilities
of a man doing even more than that
and discuss why all farmers do not
succeed in their attempts.
Now, first and foremost; any com
munity that does not possess a social
standard that inspires its young men
to step out manfully, and to openly '
proclaim to their fri ends and neighbors
their choice of a wife and companion,
whom they promise to honor, support
and cherish, so long as tliey both shall
live; that community does not possess
the elements of success for any kind of
occupation.
I put this thought first, because I
think it is tho most important of all
God's plans for the earthly well being
of a man, and that without the encour
agement and companionship of loving,
sensible wives, men are but poor tools
in any walk of life.
Why I should be confined to the
question of success as applied to the
tenant farmers alone, I do not under
stand, because the farmers stand with
a higher average in tho scale of health, i
and contentment and happiness than
any other occupation; nor are the j
fundamental elements of success in i
farming, different from those pertain
ing to other branches of industry.
Let us see; a man can reach farther
with two or three ladders than he can
with only one, or than he can with his
own hands.
We reach and talk around the world
with a wire, and are beginning to
reach so far with our big cannon and
modern rifles, that war will soon be
impossible among nations.
As God has made the Ocean and all
its tributaries, up to the smallest
brooks, alive with fish, so all the walks
of life, be they ever so humble, hold
opportunities for happy, peaceful pro
gress to all who recognize and learn
how to use them.
The fisherman uses the hook, and
the line and the pole combined; even
so we, in grasping and holding our
opportunities must unite our energies
and brains with education.
I know lots of men who are just as
honest as my own good father, Chas.
B. Howard, was in his lifetime, and
some of them work hard and are always
willing to work overtime, yet they do
not seem to make the advancement he
did.
I used to wonder why, and I know ol
only one reason; they do not couple
education with their energy and brains.
Now I wish to make a note of this.
My father's lamily were poor, and he
only received about six months school
ing, but he learned to read at Sabbath
School and carried an arithmetic and
speller along on his all day trips to
town with the coal cart.
As a man he went to work in a
German settlement and made himself a
German dictionary of the words the
men used with him in their talk; later
on he learned to scale logs and keep
his own books and accounts. All this he
learned at the same time lie was learn
to swing an axe and roll a log with a
cant hook.
Many times he told me to always
carry these three together, viz: Energy,
Brains and Education. "Education
alone won't do," he said, "but don't
try to get along without it."
Now I think he was right, and it is
simply surprising how many good
points our lathers can give us if we
admit the honesty of their intentions
in advising us, coupled with the fact
that they must have learned something
in their longer life than ours, that we
do not know; and right here I wish to
emphasize what I think is a great
truth which applies to us all: "My
father was raised on a farm and gave
the credit of all his higher aims and
ability to his mother, who was the
ruling spirit in the household, and
custodian of the family earnings. My
mother was also a good woman, and
for many years had full charge of all
my father's earnings, and this with a
few exceptions should be the rule of all

From fia/.ette.
C. W. Shaffer, Esq., of Emporium, i
was in town yesterday on legal busi- j
ness.
Mrs. W. E. Mutthersbaugh who was
reported critically ill at her home in
Mix Run Sunday night, is improving.
Dr. R. P. Heilman and wife and
Commissioners' clerk I. K. Hockley, of
Emporium, attended the farmers insti
tute here on Monday.
Dr. Katherine Daley, we understand,
wiil open an office in the old bank
building in the near future.
Burgess S. G. McElwain delivered
the address of welcome at the farmers'
institute. Dr. R. P. Heilman, of Em
porium, responded.
A letter received from John T. Earl
on Tuesday says in part: "Mother,
who has been ill for three months was
taken worse and is very low. Her
heart is so weak that the doctor has
grave fears that she cannot rally. She
seems some better to-day and we hope
for the best." Mrs. Earl's many
friends here would be glad to hear of
her complete recovery.
"Mose Carpenter" says: Yes I no
ticed that scores of the up river farm
ers came to the institute and bragged
about this being a successful year for
them in all agricultural pursuits and
yet many of them did not raise corn
enough to fatten their hogs, and they
have already commenced to haul bailed
hay from the big store. Some of these
so-called farmers ought to be arrested
for false pretense.

BURLING A ME.
ELVIRA BURLINGAME, aged 68 years,
died at the family residence at Sizer.
ville, Friday evening, Jan. 19th, 1900,
after a protracted illness. Although
Mrs. Burlingame had been seriously ill
for some time she was not at the time
of her death considered in a precarious
condition. The call came very sud
denly and she passed to the other
shore to meet the loved ones gone
before.
Deceased was a daughter of one of
the earliest settlers on the Portage,
Hiram and Polly Sizer, and was married
to Delos Burlingame Jan. 24th, 185.5.
To them six children were born, Sidney
the eldest son having died several
years ago. The remaining members of
the family lett to console the bereaved
husband are Miss Verne, at home; H.
I)., of Emporium; B. N., who resides in
Chicago, and Elmer, who is at attend
ing school at West Chester; Mrs. C. H.
Sage, Johnsonburg.
Mrs. Burlingame was one of those
wives and mothers who lived almost
wholly for the comfort and happiness
of her family. She was an economical
manager and her great care is seen in
and around their beautiful home,
where she so loved to pass her days,
for it was there she first saw the light
of day and continually resided in the
same home until the day of her death.
In their early days the family were
surrounded by the crude society char
acteristic of a lumbering community,
her motherly influence gave her rea
son, as she always had, and justly too,
to be proud of her family.
The funeral took place on Monday
at two o'clock, at Sizerville, Rev.
Shriner, of Emporium M. E. church,
officiating. The Rev. gentleman de
livered one of his eloquent sermons to
the bereaved family and large circle of
sympathizing friends. A choir com
posed of some of Emporium's best
singers, furnished the singing. The
funeral was very largely attended,
many from Emporium being in at
tendance. Interment in Sizerville
cemetery.
The following relatives and friends
from abroad were present: B. N.
Burlingame, Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. C.
H. Sage, Johnsonburg; Elmer Burlin
game, West Chester; Mr. and Mrs. H.
D. Burlingame, Emporium; Mrs. L. T.
Srure, Arcade, N. Y.; Jonothan Cole
grove and wife, Bela Colegrove and
wife, Mrs. Laura A. Carter, Smethport;
Leroy Burlingame, Kasson, Pa.; H. A.
Avery and wife, Mrs. G. A. Wilber,
Miss Myrtle Avery, Keating Summit;
B. R. Carter and wife, Austin, Pa.
Theatrical Circuit.
Geo. H. Verbeck, manager of the
Armstrong Opera House, Johnson
burg, Pa., and the Opera Honse, Kane,
Pa., will next season have a circuit
of five or six good towns, which
will include a new theatre in Punxsu
tawney, which will be built early in
the Spring, and be ready to open in
September. It will be built on Main
street, in the business part of the town
and be a- modern up-to-date house in
every particular. Manager Verbeck
will also have a new theatre in Kane
for next season, and at present is
figuring on a new house to be built at
St. Marys, Pa., which is a good live
town, and without any kind of place
of amusement whatever. This will
give Manager Verbeck a good circuit
of towns, with short railroad jumps.—
Exchange. What's the matter with
Emporium ? This is conceded to bo
the best show town between Warren
and Williamsport and we hope Man
ager Verbeck will include us in his
circuit.
Suffocated at the Furnace.
A Hungarian, named John Under
chin, who has been employed at
the furnace in the capacity of cinder
snatcher, was found dead Sunday
morning, in the engine room of the
hoisting engine. Deceased had been
in poor health for some time and com
plaining, about five o'clock Sunday
morning he was told to lie down in a
warm place till he felt better. When
found he was dead, caused by inhaling
gas. Coroner Baker was called and
ordered the remains removed to La-
Bar's undertaking establishment,
where they were prepared for burial.
Deceased leaves a wife and three
small children, neither of whom can
speak a word of English. They are
strangers in our midst.
Wonders Will Never Cease.
We regret to learn that one of our
valuable citizens, Mr. J. A. Fisher,
contemplates abandoning the black
smithing business and launching into a
new enterprise, having purchased L.
S. Fislc's interest in the Emporium
| band, and a beautiful cornet. He is
now taking music lessons and will
soon be a full Hedged band master.
Success, Joe; but we think rent will be
cheap in your locality.
Deputy Sheriff.
Sheriff J. D. Swope has appointed
Harry Hemphill deputy. The appoint
ment will give general satisfaction
Mr. Hemphill being every way quali
fied for the place and has had many
years experience as constable and in
other official positions.

Letter From Manila.
Warren J. Mead, who is in the Phil
ippines as a member of Company M, j
37th Regiment, writes to Michael Mur
phy, of this place. We quote thefol-|
lowing: "I think the war will soon be !
over, The enemy are getting scatter- i
ed and are now harmless. They are '
trying to get to the south line now.
It may be there will be some hard i
scrapping here yet, but it is doubtful, j
We get a chance for a few shots at the
out posts, but they don't bother us
much. We may move to San Peblo in j
a week or two. Tf we do look out for
a hard fight. It is a walled city of
45,000 inhabitants, besides the soldiers.
If the artillery and other heavy guns
get there it will be easy for us.
Send me the Cameron county papers."
In Full Blast.
The Emporium Furniture Company
makes its bow to the PRESS readers this
week and calls attention to their mam
moth stock of furniture now displayed
at their store one door west of Odd
Fellows Block. The goods are all new
and consist of everything from the
cheap chair to the handsomest parlor
or bed room suit. An inspection of
the new goods will convince you that
you can save big money by patroniz
ing the Emporium Furniture Com
pany. A first-class undertaking es
tablishment, with competent attend
ants, will receive the closest attention.
One of the handsomest funeral cars in
the state has been purchased for this
department.
Says the Philadelphia Record: The
saying was once trite that "the doors
of Castle Garden always swing iuward,
never outward." The meaning of this
was that America offlered so many
advantages to residents that all people
wanted to come here, and none cared
to leave. For a somewhat similar
cause the doors of business houses
which advertise swing inward con
stantly. The daily and weekly an
nouncements of such houses attract
customers to the mutual advantage of
buyer and seller.
Hon. Warner Miller says:"ln all
by business career times were never
better than they are now." We have
never had so complete and scientific a
system of Protection to American in
terests as we have now. That explains
in part why times are better now than
ever before. For the other part we
have never until now seen the complet
ed effects of a Protective tariff. In the
past we have been struggling, by
means of protection to American in
dustries, to build up American enter
prises, to put them on their feet. To
day, in many instances, says the Amer
ican Economist, this has been accom
plished and the sole duty of the
Protective tariff in regard to these
enterprizes is to preserve to them what
they have already achieved and to give
them a chance to branch out, now that,
at last they stand on a firm basis.
Times are better than ever before, and
they are likely to remain so because
Protection is likely to continue to be
the policy of the country.
Card of Thanks.
We take this method returning our
heartfelt thanks to all our friends and
neighbors who so kindly assisted us in
our sad bereavement.

I WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty Ciod to re~

I E. Crawford, who died from injuries received
in the woods while working for his father, H. C.
( Crawford; therefore be it
Resolved , That we sincerely mourn his un
; timely end and deplore the sail fate that has de
prived us ofthe companionship of a noble hearted
brother.
| Resolved , That we extend to the bereaved fam
i ilv our heartfelt sympathy in this hour of great
I affliction and may they not be as those without a
I hope but ever bear in mind that for true consola
• tion they must look to Ood, who alone can heal
the broken hearted, and while they mourn the
: loss of one so dear to them, we grieve for one
who has mingled with us almost nine years,
•t having joined with us as a charter member In tho
year 1801, and always been true to bis obligations
to protect the widow and care for the orphan.
To know him was to love him, his noble man
hood and great heart never failed to touch tin
hearts of those who knew him. Although taken
away so early in life, his many; generous and
charitable acts will live forever in the hearts ol
those he left behind him.
Resolved , That while we bow in humble sub
mission to the will of Ood, the Ruler of the uni
verse, we realize with much sorrow the death ot
our departed brother.
Resr.lved, That as a token of respect to our de
ceased brother we drape our charter in mourning
for sixty days, that these resolutions l> ? entered
upon our records and printed in our county
papers, and u copy ofthe same be sent to the
