CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1900. Commencement. The commencement exercises at the opera houHe last evening waH attended by an immense audience. The decora tions were profuse and extremely handsome, showing that master hands and well cultivated talent was em ployed in the arrangement and design ing of the floral display. The graduates did honor both to themselves and teachers in the polished and high toned manner in which they acquitted themselves. The young la dies and gentlemen are to be congratu lated upon their success in acquiring the high standard of intellect which they so ably proved themselves to pos sess, and their teachers should feel proud of the evidence thus given of their several abilities as instructors. Words fail us to give utterance indue measure to Principal and teacher. It would be difficult to sum up in a brief way, the magnitude of the results of a season's labor as shown last evening by the brilliancy of those who per formed their final tasks as High School students. Some of the striking and very pleas ing features of the occasion were the musical renditions by the High School Orchestra, piano solo by Miss Byrde Taggart, the piano duet by Misses Grace Leet and Abby Metzger, and C. H. Felt, the Dutch commedian Hon. I. K. Hockley, Miss Lillian Heilman the Irish contralto, and Mrs. Burnell so prano, composing a mixed quartette that needs no further mixing by us. L. K. Huntington, President of the School Board, in a modest and well worded speech,presented the graduates with their diplomas. Prof. H. F. Stauffer, in his usual po lite way, explained the cause of the absence of Dr. Flickinger, and intro duced Prof. McNeal, a member of the faculty of the Lock Haven State Nor mal School, who gave the class address, which was replete of solid brain food and par excellent advise. The High school prize—an elegantly bound edition of Webster's dictionery, was awarded to Miss Katie Welsh, she having been accorded the highest average in orthography during the past three months. The prize was of fered by Mr. Josiah Howard. The piano used on this occasion was loaned by Mr. O. B. Hummell, of Lock Haven, and is for sale. Gorton's .Minstrels. Will be greeted with a big house this Thursday evening. It ia a matter of note that in all the years since the or ganization of Gorton's Famous Min strels, no person has left the theatre dissatisfied—a most remarkable record. This is probably due to the fact that all classes enjoy a good, clean, up-to-date minstrel entertainment, and the Gort on's embody all that is refined and en joyable in modern minstrelsy. Man ager Larkin is a thorough-going miD strei man and always keeps his company supplied with the best talent money can procure. He is a business man and applies business methods in his trans actions. He reasons that nothing is too good for his patrons, and consequently when you hear of Gorton's Minstrels coming, you can depend upon seeing the prettiest and best show of minstrelsy on the road. "Every performer is a star" in his particular line—there is not a lame spot in the company; the singing and musical selections are especially good. Watch for the grand street concert at noon, given by America's best solo minstrel band. The program will con sist of selections from the latest popular and operatic successes. Get your seats early at H. S. Lloyd's. Reserved seats 50c. Admission 35c. Children 25c. Prizes for Lawns and Gardens. As previously announced, the Sunday Schools of Emporium offer two prizes in each ward ($5 and s3i for well kept premises. The contest is open to any household. No fee required for enter ing; no expense save a little time and labor (of which you get the chief bene fit), and what you may expend for seeds, etc. The time limit for entering the contest has been extended to May 21. Please give your name before that time to some member of the Committee: Mrs. R. P. Heilman, Mrs. Chas. Seger, Hon. I. K. Hockley, Mr. Chas. Felt, Mr. J. W. Kaye. A boy was compelled by his teacher to write an essay on"The Mouth," for some infraction of the rules, and this is what he wrote: "Your mouth is the front door of your face; it is the cold storage of the anatomy. Some mouths look like peaches and cream; some look like a hole in a brick wall to admit a door or window. The mouth is a crim son aisle to your liver; it is patriotism's fountain and a tool chest for pie. With out the mouth the politician would be a wanderer on the face of the earth and go down to an unhonored grave. It is the grocer's friend, the orator's pride and the dentist's hope. It puts some on the rostrum and some in jail. It is temp ' tation's lunch counter when attached to a maiden, and tobacco's friend when ! to a man. It is the home of the unruly ] member —the tongue. Without it mar ried life would be like a summer dream | and the dude would lose half of his at traction." —Ex. i If you want a Tenant. If you want a Boarder, The Liar's Club. The other truthful citizen chanced to meet a member of the Em porium Liars' Club, and improved the opportunity to speak of the evil of telling things that are not so. "I try to live up to the rules of my Club," said the liar. "Lying has become a second nature to me; it is my nature to be false, but I cannot be false to my nature; so I keep on lying." "Yonr philosophy is as false as your profession,"exclaimed the truthful citi zen. "For all that I shall stick to it," re plied the Liar. "Do you expect a Liar to uphold true philosophy ? Still, we Liars do not like to be thought utterly depraved or incapable of anything that is good. We lie because we must, and because it is our delight, but we some times try to use our art in the interests of the public good, indirectly at least. For example, let me tell you about the latest doings of our Club. "At our last meeting, the condition of our streets and alleys was under dis cussion. One of our new members, who as yet is far from being proficient in our art, ventured to say that some of our public alleys and nearly all the private lanes in the borough are dis graceful in appearance. You may im agine what a chilling reception was accorded such a statement by experi enced members of the Liars' Club. We warned the young man that the offense must not be repeated; and in order to defend the cause of Lies against the horrid assault of black truth, we ap pointed a committee to walk through the lanes and alleys, and to make an appropriate report at our next meeting. Two others with myself were entrusted with this commission. We have com pleted ot work, and I may as well tell you what >ur report is to be. "We sh 1 say that the alleys and lanes are an ornament to our town; that no one who has not been through them has any idea of what beautiful sights blush there unseen of the multi tude; that eight men can walk abreast the whole length of the alley that runs parallel to Fourth and Fifth streets and between them, so free is this alley from all accumulations of rubbish, that not a rusty can did we see anywhere, no broken glass, no empty bottles, no old boards and sticks, no feathers, no old wire netting, no decayed vegeta tion, no filth, no open sewers, no ugly, shackly fences, no disgraceful outbuild ings adjoining, no ill-kept backyards. Where the whole is well-nigh perfect, it is hard to discriminate; but we must award the highest praise to that sec tion of the alley which lies between Poplar and Vine streets, and also to the locality near the intersection of the alley with Cherry street." The truthful citizen drew a long breath, and rubbed his forehead to as sure himself of his own identity Hav ing recovered his self-possession he re marked, "Your Club will have no cause to complain of that report ; they should give you a medal and a special vote of thanks, and relax the rules of the Club in your favor for a month. Such ex hibitions of your art are not to be ex pected every day or every week." #ar Wants Ladies to Remove Hats. Rev. Thurston, of the Canisteo M. E. church, liaß started a movement against ladies wearing their hats while attend ingservicea in his church. In speaking on the subject from the pulpit the rev erend gentleman said: "One way in which reverence might be demonstrated toward God and His house is by the la dies removing their hats when they come into the public congregation. A gentleman told me the other day he liked the sermon at my church, but did not know who preached it. From be ginning to end he was absolutely un able to see the speaker. It would be amusing if not pitiful to see people go through the necessary contortions from the middle and rear of the house in or der to enjoy the services. The devil has the best of us in this respect, as in the theaters it is no longer in good form to obstruct a clear view of the stage by means of headgear. In behalf of necks which will probably be dislo cated—for sake of reverence in divine worship- let the ladies of this congre gation band together and abolish this unseemly nuisance."

I consider it not only a pleasure but a duty I owe to my neighbors to tell about the wonderful cure effected in my case by the timely use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I was taken very badly with flux and procured a bottle of this remedy. A few doses of it effected a permanent cure. I take pleasure in recommending it to others suffering from that dreadful disease.—J. W. LYNCH, Dorr, W. Va. This remedy is sold by L.
