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.

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."

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.
