EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, MA Y 10.1900.
Census Enumerators.
Supervisorof Census, Milton H. Steb
bins, of Wellsboro, Pa., writes the PRESS
that the following Enumerators have
been appointed for Cameron county:
No. I.—Sydney G. McElwain, Driftwood, Pa., for
Driftwood and Gibson.
No. 2. —Adolphus C. Blum, Emporium, Pa.
No. 3.—Jackson H. Itaird, Sinnamahoning, Pa.,
Grove township.
No. 4.—Geo. \V. Gentry, Sterling Run. Pa., Lum
ber and Portage townships.
No. s.—William L. Thomas. Shippen township.
Each enumerator will wear a large
badge made of silver, and the work
that has been assigned him must be
completed in thirty days after June Ist.
The four principal reports on popula
tion, mortality, agriculture and manu
facturers, must be printed by July 1,
1902. After that, tabulation of special
inquiries will be taken up. The com
pensation of Enumerators is fixed by
law and a rate of two cents for each
living inhabitant, two cents for each
death, fifteen cents for each farm, and
twenty-five cents for each productive
industry is provided for all sub-divsions
where such allowance shall be deemed
sufficient. In other sub-divisions where j
higher per capita rates are to be paid,
according to the difficulty of enumera- j
tion, the maxium rate will not exceed j
three cents for each death, twenty cents i
for each farm and thirty cents for each i
productive industry, while in sub-di
uisions where per diem rates are estab
lished, haying reference to the nature j
of the region to be canvassed and the '■
density or sparseness of settlement, or ;
other considerations pertinent thereto, i
the compensations allowed to Enumer- !
ators will not be less than three, nor j
more than six dollars per day of ten
hours' actual field work each.

Returned to Puerto Rico.
Peter Van Brackle, a native Puerto
Rico boy who came to Emporium last
Feb.with Mr. Josiah Howard and party,
has returned to his native country.
Alex. Macdonnell accompanied him to
New York city, last Thursday, and
saw him aboard the steamship Ponce,
bound for San Juan. Peter says: "Big
country, much money. Come back
'gain; write? boss for money." We
guess boss will say "nit." If he does
not v e have a faint suspician that some
1 one else, very near the boss, will.
Foot Crushed.
Last Saturday a one-armed tramp,
I full of Emporium's best fire water,
called on our business men, soliciting
| ten cents from each—when he could
J not get more. When night came lie
■ carried a beautiful load and, as most
! drunks are in the habit of doing, made
his bed on the cinder pile at the furnace.
During the night the cinder dump
struck him, while he was sleeping off
his batch of poor whisky, crushing his
right foot and injuring his left leg. The
Poor Masters were notified, who took
him in charge and caused him to be
taken to Hospital Parsons, where Dr.
Smith dressed hisinjuries. The injured
man gives his name as James Melarkev
of Shamokin, aged 52 years. Pooi
Master J. W. Kriner took him to Lock
Haven Hospital 011 Tuesday morning.
Emporium tax-payers foot the bill and
recover, if we can, from his native
county.
Will Rebuild.
C. A. Van Lew was a PRESS caller on
Tuesday and informed us that the
Strayer, Rentz & Van Lew mill recently
destroyed by fire on Montour's Run
would be rebuilt at once. In fact men
are already at work.
Death's Doings.
Mrs. Ines M. Ordiway, died at her
home near Port Allegany on Wednes
day, May 2nd, aged 32 years. Mrs.
Ordiway was daughter of W. Bigler
Ilousler of this place, and has been a
sufferer of heart decease for a number
of years. She is survived by a hus
band and three children, who deeply
mourn the loss of a devoted wife and
mother.
Died in Alaska.
Peter Fredette, who left this place
six years ago to seek his fortune in Al
aska, died at Juneo, April 18th, aged 55
years. Father Downey received a let
ter from St Annis Hospital, at Juneo
informing him of the death and direct
ed the Father to break the sad news to
the family of the deceased, who reside
at this place. Mrs. Fredette and her
four children are indeed to be pitied in
their sad condition. Mr. Fredette had
been in poor health for two years and
died of hemorages of the lungs. He
allowed his C. M. B A. insurance to
lapse, leaving his family in this cold
world without any means of support.
The PKESS deeply sympathizes with the
widow and fatherless children, as no
doubt our people will when thev hear
the sad news.

Death of Airs. Olive T. Felt.
This estimable lady died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. S. W. Brewer,
this morning at 1:10 o'clock. She was
the youngest daughter of Joshua Tal
cott, of Chenango county, N. Y., and
was born in Smyrna, N. Y., June 15,
1822.
Her husband, Mr. Eli Felt, died in
Raleigh February 5,1885.
She leaves two daughters, Mrs. S. W.
I Brewer and Mrs. J. J. Thomas, of this
! city, and four sons, Messrs. J. P., I)e-
I Witt and C. H. Felt, of Emporium, Pa ,
| and E. T. Felt, of Johnstown, Pa.
The remains will be taken to Wake
\ Forest, tomorrow morning at 11:13,
where the funeral services will be held
j at noon.—Raleigh,(N. C.) Times, 3d.
Mrs. Felt will be pleasantly remem
| bered by many of our older citizens
i who knew her well when she resided in
I Emporium with her husband and fam-

Oil and Gas Company.
1 For some months a number of gen
tlemen, known as the"M. M. &M. Co."
have been engaged leasing land near
Emporium for oil and gas purposes.
On Monday last they located well No.
1 on the N. A. Ostrum farm, West
Creek. Chas. Martin, of Kane, has the
contract to drill the well and Michael
Mead, of same place is erecting the der
rick. It is expected the drill will start
on its downward course next week.
The company is composed of gentle
men who have both means and experi
ence in the oil business and will thor
oughly test this territory.
Returned from Canada.
"Our greatly esteemed townsman Mr.
Henry Auchu, of the ofC.
B. Howard & Company, returned!" last
Tuesday evening from St. Flavia, Que
bec, where he was called on account of
the fatal illness of his mother, who
passed away last Thursday, in her 75th
year. It is a great consolation to Mr.
Auchu to know that he arrived in time
to be recognized by his aged parent
and engage in conversation with her.
The funeral took place last Saturday
morning. It is only eight months since
Mr. Auchu's father died, in his 83rd
year. Only two members of the family
survive the parents—Mr. Auchu and
one brother.
New Powder Works.
A number of Emporium gentlemen
have formed a company for the manu
factureofhigh explosives, representing,
we are informed, a capital of $50,000.
They have purchased 300 acres of land
near Emporium, on Catlin Hollow, and
commenced last Monday clearing land,
building roads, etc., preparatory to
erecting the necessary buildings. Thus
one more manufacturing plant will be
added to Emporium, giving employ
ment to a large number of men and
boys. We welcome the new company
and be peak for them a profitable busi
ness.
Creamery Leased.
Henry A. Gram, of Lodi, 0., has ar
rived in town and leased the Emporium
Creamery. He expects to have the
plant in operation within a few days.

The Baccalaureate Service.
The Baccalaureate service, for the
graduating class of 1900 of the Empor
ium High School, was held in the M.
E. Church, last Sunday evening. The
regular form of service was observed,
the local Glee Club, under the able di
rection of Hon. I. K. Hockley, furnish
ed the music, which was extremely
delightful, demonstrating the fact that
Emporium possesses vocal talent that
is difficult to surpass.
Rev. McCaslin, of the Presbyterian
Church, offered the opening prayer
and read the Scripture lesson from the
New Testament, and Rev. Robertson,
Rector of Episcopal Church, read the
lesson from Psalms, and offered the
concluding prayer. These Reverend
gentlemen acquitted themselves nicely
in the performance of their respective
parts 011 this occasion.
Rev. Metzler, in his usual sincere
Christian manner and method, deliv
ered the sermon to the class, and un
consciously made a great hit with our
people. We say he did it unconsciously
because he is too sincere a man to dis
course for the purpose of making a hit.
He used for his text, St. John 18. 37.
"Art thou a king? Jesus answered:
Thou sayest that lam a king. To thi3
end was I born, and for this cause came
I into the world that I should bear wit
ness unto the truth."
The theme was "character," and the
eloquence and uniqueness with which
the brilliant points were brought out,
by flitting illustrations, could hardly
be enlarged upon. The subject thus
ably presented, was one from which
| any of the large audience might ex-
I tract a valuable lesson, and from the
numerous expressions of satisfaction,
j by those in attendance, we are sure it
had a very striking moral effect The
class of 1900 could do 110 better than
follow closely the beautiful example of
tho character so tersely portrayed in
the sermon.
N. Seger is offering some of the
greatest bargains in clothing and fur
nishings ever heard of before in this

to the quality is as good as a guarantee.

Cameron County Highly Honored.
The PRESS, we regret, failed to men
tion in our last issue the high compli
ment paid Cameron county by the
Republican State Convention, when*
they named our fellow citizens, B. W
Green, Esq., of Emporium, Delegate-
and Capt. C. F. Barclay, of
Sinnamahoning, Alternate-Delegate
at-Large to the Republican National
Convention, to assemble in Philadel
phia, June 19th. This groat compli
ment is highly appreciated by tin
Republicans of this county, more
especially so when it is taken into con
sideration that our little county liaei
only once been honored, then only
with a district delegate. The great
Republican party of Pennsylvania has-,
complimented our county through the*
election of Mr. Green and Mr. Barclay.,
both representative and honorable
gentlemen, and we bespeak an old
time Republican majority in little
Cameron, thereby showing our friends:
throughout the State that we appreci
ate the greatest compliment that has*
ever been accorded one county i:i the
history of the Republican party of
Pennsylvania—two delegates to the
Nation's Party Council. The PRESS,
and those friends who labored for the
election of Mr. Green and Capt. Bar
clay, have reason to ieel proud.
The PRESS had ordered and expected?
in time for this issue, portrait cuts of
our delegates, who will participate in
and assist in the re-nomination of the.,
greatest President since Abraham Lin
coln, William McKinley. Our en
graver has disappointed 11s, the great
rush of orders rendering it impossible
to fill our order.
Republicans of Cameron, let us show
to our brothers throughout the State
that we are worthy of the confidence
they have reposed' in us. Let us bury
for all time, all factional differences, is
any exist, and march as one solid col
umn with the great Captain who will
lead the grandest party that ever ex
isted on God's green earth, tovicroßV
—county, State and Nation.
