Memorial Committee.
EMPORIUM, PA, April 23, 1900.
At the last stated meeting of Lieut.
D. W. Taggart Post G. A. R„ held
April 14, the following memorial com
mittee was appointed by the Com
mander:
ISI. M Larrabee, A. O. Swartwood,
Joshua Bair, L. Taggart. J. O. Brook
bank, J. R Batchelder.
The time has come that Post 241, be
cause of small numbers and the infirm
ities of many of its membership, are no
longer able to turn out with the same
strength or enthusiasm as in days gone
by, or to bear the expense and make
the display that we could eight or ten
years ago, and soon the question will
be asked, who will decorate the soldiers
graves? Shall it be perpetuated? Sure
ly not unless the public takes an inter
est in the matter We earnestly ask at
this time a co-operation of the citizens.
Will there be a meeting of people to
talk this matter over and appoint a
committee to co-operate with the G. A.
R. committee.
Called Away.
Mrs. C. H. Jessop and brother, Mr.
Robert Faucette, were called, by tele
gram Sunday, to Bath, N. Y., to attend
! the funeral of their father, Mr. John
Faucette, whose death occurred Sun
day, lingering consumption being the
cause. Deceased was about (>•) years
of age. The funeral took place yester
i day. Seven children, five daughter;;
| and two sons, are by the demise of the
I father left orphans, the mother having
i died last June. The children arc ail
! grown up. The sorrow stricken family
have the sincerest sympathy of all in
j this community.
Seriously ill.
It is reported here that Miss Itena
; Fetter, who is in the Philadelphia llos
j pital, is in a precarious condition, and
I the chances for her recovery are not
j encouraging She went to that place
I to receive treatment for a hip trouble,
| since which time it has been found
] that her liver and heart are diseased to
an alarming extent. Word was re
ceived Tuesday, by her father A. C.
Fetter, that she was some better. We
i hope her case is not so serious as is
| anticipated.
Cupid at His Old Tricks.
Cupid is getting in his best licks, and
has linked the affections of two more
victims. We have the announcement
of the wedding of Mr. Elmer Putnum,
of Roulette, and Miss Adly Mason, of
Sterling Run, to take place next Mon
; day, at Messiah church, Sterling Run.
| Miss Mason is a sister of Mrs. Ben. Lord
jof this place. We join the friends in
i extending best wishes to the young
j couple.
Grand Success.
The first annual ball and reception
i by the A. O. 11., M. B. A. and L. C.
i». A., at the opera house, last Thurs
day evening was one of the most pleas
ing social events held for years. The
management certainly are entitled to
| credit for the success of their first an
nual. It was also a financial success.

To Our Friends.
The family of the late Charles Stew
art desire to express their appreciation
to the many kind friends, and especi- I
ally to the Odd Fellows of Emporium |
Lodge No. 984, for their acts of kind- j
net'.s and words of sympathy and com- 1
fort in their recent sad bereavement.
A Handy Hook.
Postmaster Soger hns received his |
first consignment "1" postage stamps I
<lo!v up in bookform. Theyarebound j
in a neat little book and consist of
twelve stamps, which is certainly a
very handy arrangement, as they can j
bo carried in the vest pocket.
The plot of the farce, "What Ifap-j
pened to Jones," which is to be pre
sented at the Emporium opera house, ;
Wednesday night, May 2, 1900, is ex- i
tremely simple and it does not require j
any tax upon the brain to follow its I
course. A kindly old professor ofanat- !
oray is persuaded reluctantly to attend
a boxing contest in the interest of
science. While there the place is raid
ed by the police, and the professor had
to slide down a water spout to escape,
and he returns ragged and bruised.
To make matters worse 110 is accom
panied home by one Jones, a drummer,
who was at the contest and is trying
to escape the police. The professor's
house is surrounded and to avoid ar
rest, Jones puts on a suit of clothes of
the Bishop of Ballarat, the professor's
brother, who is expected on his first
visit to the family from Australia The
family enter, to explain the presence
of Jones, the professor is obliged to in
troduce him as his brother, the bishop.
This leads to a score of complications
and in the midst of them the real
bishop arrives. The fun rages fast and
furious for two and one-half hours and
laughter is incessant. Reserved seats
on sale Friday at H S. Lloyd's book
store. Admission 3oc and 50c. Chil
dren 25c. Secure your seats early.
Good Books.
The benefits of reading have been so
well indicated by Sir John Herschel
that we cannot do better than to bor
row his words, viz:
If T were to pray for a taste which
should stand me in stead under every
variety of circumstances and be a
source of happiness and cheerfulness to
me through life and a shield against its
ills, however, things should go amiss
and the world frown upon me, it would
bo a taste for reading. * Give
a man the taste and this means of grat
ifying it, and you can hardly fail of
making a happy man, unless, indeed,
you put into his hands a most perverse
selection of books. You place him in
contact with the best society in every
period of history- -with the wisest, the
wittiest; with the tenderest, the bravest,
and the purest characters who have
adorned history. * * It is hardly
possible but the character should take
a higher and better tone from the con
stant, habit of" associating in thought
with a class of thinkers, to say the least
of it, above the average of humanity.
It is morally impossible but that the
manners should take a tinge of good
breeding and civilization from having
constantly before one's eyes the way in
which the best-bred and the best in
formed men have talked and conducted
themselves in their intercourse with
each other. There is a gentle but per
fectly irresistible coercion in a habit of
reading well directed over the whole
tenor of a man's character and conduct,
which is not the less effectual because
it works insensibly and because it is
really the last thing be dreams of.
Some Things the Editor Does Not
Publish.
Editors are the first to hear of gossip,
of scandal, indiscretion of men and wo
men, things unfit for publication,
intrigues, clandestine meetings, night
buggy rides, young girls gone astray,
flirtations of married women, amours
of married men, and in fact all neigh
borhood scandals. Editors generally
know of all the naughty doings in the
community, no matter how secret. If
half we hear was published, divorce
suits would follow in some cases, social
ostracism in others, shot guns and
lynchings, desolate homes, shame, hu
miliation and misery. The editor learns
much of the hypocracy of life, and it is
a wonder that he believes in anything
on earth or hereafter. People who
abuse the editor the loudest sometimes
owe their standing in society to his for
bearance.—Osborne News
They Naturally Disagree.
Christian churches are prospering
under Protection. Debts aro being
lifted, new churches erected, pew rents
increased and plate offerings are more.
And yet certain Free-Trade papers are
actually declaring that Christianity
flourishes most in hard times and that
the religion of Jesus fattens on misery
and privation. However, as the old
lady remarked when she found that St.
Paul was against her faith, "Paul and I
always did disagree," and Free-Trade
naturally disagrees with prosperity.—
Central Fails, R. 1., Journal.
Railroad Grammar.
"What was the next station?"
"You mean what is the next station."
"That doesn't make any difference.
Is is was, but was is not necessarily is."
"Look here; what was, is, and what
is, is. Is was is or is is was."
"Nonsense. Was may be is, but is is
not was. Is was was, but if was was is,
then is isn't is or was wasn't was. If
was is, was is was, isn't it? But if i3 is
was then—"
"Listen Is is, was was, and is was
and was was is; therefore is was is and
was is was, if was was is, is is is, and
was was was, and is is was "
"Shut up, will you! I've gone by my
station already."—Life.
The Raftsman's Journal says "that
men find it best not to run up too hard
I against a newspaper, for an editor hold-
I ing in bis hands a Spartan weapon,
I would be nothing more than a booby,
j if he would not defend against insult
j and imposition."
Sinnemahoning Liars Club.
The club met at the usual place and
in the absence of Hanscom, John John
son was appointed to fill the chaii which
position he filled very satisfactorily.
Israel Baity, Pap Herfield and Chap. 1>"I
--din held a secret session op. the post-office
steps, but nothing was learned of their
intentions. The club are expecting to
hear some whoppers from the above
named talent next meeting. Pap Blodget
was urged to let his name be used for
Assembly tliis fall, but refused on the
ground that it would ruin hi- reputation.
Alex. DeShetler held the floor for one
hour and seventy minutes and told liis
.story, '■(). What a Face," which elicited
hearty applause and he was declared fit to
recieve the highest degree, which was
conferred on him by Tony Snyder and
1 larve Smith. Ike Bowcn's application
for reinstatement was considered and a
ballot taken, which resulted in a two
third vote for his reinstatement. Beklin
reported his visit to the county seat,
lie said the Emporium club used him
well, and being their regular meeting
night, he was invited to attend. The
club met in Kaekenmeister's ice house
with John Waddington in the chair,
fjuite a little business being transacted,
the most important being a motion to
fine R. If. Ilirseh, thirteen cents for
trying to work his new invention, known
as "the little giant," composed of a spring
ami sewing machine needle, supposed to
penetrate most anything but cast iron.
A subject was prepared and after a very
unsuccessful effort on this individual an
examination was made and it was found
to be a fiailure as it would not even
puncture sole leather. A lengthy debate
was had on the subject anil the fine was
withdrawn, Mr. Ilirseh promising that
nothing of the kind should occur again.
Mr. Beldin was asked if he had any
thing to say, and he made a few brief re
marks and said that Pap Blodget was
preparing to visit Emporium and he
would be able to face the best talent in
town. The meeting then adjourned.
Sinnemahoning,
The log drives have all passed this
point and the stream is now free trom
logs.
Nathan Sillin has purchased a lot near
the P. & E. station and erected a com
modious building in which he intends
to place a stock for business.
6. B. Barclay has purchased a match
for his fine driving horse and now sports
the prettiest and fastest team in this
"neck 'o woods." Uncle Jake aint in it
at all.
The usual annual rush was made on
the trout, streams last week and a number
of good catches arc reported, twelve
pounds in seven hours being the result of
one man's prowess.
Harry, the nine year old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Jesse Michaels, who has been
dangerously ill with pneumonia is much
improved at this writing and hopes are
now entertained for his recovery.
This week will witness the emancipa
tion of young America in this town when
he will be free togo fishing or in swim
ming in the mud barefooted or tall off the
barn or cherry tree as his own sweet will
shall dictate.
The Driftwood Gazette, of last week,
was slightly in error in stating that fac
tory inspector, English, had ordered tli3
discharge of a young girl from the kin
dlingwood mill, at this place. The fact
is, no girl has ever been employed there.
Isaac Barber has sold out his property
holdings in this place and will depart for
the wild and woolly west in the near fu
ture. Mr. Barber has been an active and
conspicuous figure in business here for
many years and his departure will be re
gretted by a host of friends.

Time for farmers to be hustling.
There has been a reorganization of our
Sunday school. A cordial invitation is
extended to all.
There will be an oyster supper held at
the home of Mr. James Sibert, Saturday,
April 23, for the benefit of our pastor,
E. E. Mulliner. Everybody invited.
Business is quite brisk at present, es
pecially on Sunday. The Bible says:
"He not deceived, God is not mocked,
whatsoever a man soweth that shall ho
also reap.'
While drawing railroad ties down More
llill last Thursday, Mr. James Sibert
was thrown from his wagon and quite
badly hurt. Dr. Ileilman was summoned,
who pronounced his injuries not serious,
but at this writing Mr. S. is still unable
to do any work.
Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Bruner called on
L. W. Spence and family on Monday
evening. Jacob seems happy since he
entered the matrimonial state. Now that
some of the other bachelors would take
him as a pattern and follow suit.
TATTLER.
The number of people who "never
read ads" ia very small—so small, in
deed, that it is seldom taken into seri
ous account. Practically everybody
reads advertisements. Those which are
most attractive in form and matter are
naturally most widely read. The ad
vertiser who can make his advertise
ment the most interesting is bound to
attain to widest publicity and to make
the largest sales.—Phiadelphia Record.
