Merrill's mill at Dents Run was de stroyed by fire last week, Wednesday. Ridgway has free mail delivery now and Kane will join the procession Oct. Ist Monster 207,000 pound engines passed through this place for Kane, a few days ago. Emporium Creamery is now in full blast and this delicious butter is eagerly sought after. The Emporium Furnace is now making one thousand tons of iron every week. For the first time in forty years licen ses have been granted in Potter county. Judge Olmsted, last Thursday, granted seventeen licenses, in the entire county ' of Potter—just the number we have in I Emporium alone. This is a pretty hard slap when it ' strikes the right spot: "The height of the ambition of some young men seems ! to bo to smoke cigarettes and wear a i white hat with a polka-dot ribbon : band." A letter from W. P. Lloyd states that ' ho and Arnos Fenton arrived at Seattle safely, and had an enjoyable journey. | While taking in the sights in that city they met William Mundy and report him as in good health and doing well. I Man is never satisfied. The eastern man wants togo west and the western j man wants togo east. The farmer ■ wants togo into the city and the city ' man wants togo to the country. The young want to be old and the old want to be young, and every man wants tho other man's job. The really clever woman is the one who can laugh at a man's jokes without having them first explained. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1900. I Last Thursday the first through train i of freight cars passed through Empo j rium for Buffalo from Itenovo. James Panting, employed at the furnace, stepped into a bed of moulting iron on Wednesday, severely burning his left foot H. Clint Olmstod, Chairman of the Potter county Republican committee notifies Potter Republicans who desire to accompany the Cameron county Republican Club to the National Con vention, to notify him at once. It is the intention to leave here Sunday the 17tli in special train of Pullman Sleep ers. One fare for the round trip. Prof. Ford, of Baltimore, one of the finest readers and reciters in America, appeared at the M. E. Church, Tuesday evening, to a crowded house, and if ho did not maintain the reputation of Southern oratory there is no one who can. He has a wonderful voice, per fectly trained, and with it ho manifest ed the possession of a most enviable intellect. The ladies, under whose au spices the entertainment was given, netted a neat sum. There is something almost diabolical in the politics of some of the big yellow journals. Pretending to advocate the country's good, they slander the ad ministration, and resort to every low and contemptible device to prejudice the public mind against it. Glaring hypocracy, disgusting pharisaism and marvelous effrontery characterize all their utterances. For their own selfish purposes they endeavor to make wis dom and patriotism look hideous, and folly and rank detnagoguery appear saintly. Heaven help the country when the yellow journals control its politics.—Punx'3 r Spirit. From Philadelphia to Washington and Buffalo. Buffalo Commercial of recent date, says: Beginning Sunday, May 27th, the Western New York and Pennsylva nia Railway will put on a new train, "The Philadelphia and Washington Special," and in connection with the Pennsylvania railroad, will run Pull man buffet sleeping cars between Buf falo and Philadelphia and Washington without change. Train will leave New York Central station daily at 6:10 p. m.,and arriveat Philadelphia at 6:52 a. m., and Wash ington at 7:45 a. m. Returning sleepers will leave Phila delphia at 8:50 p. m., Washington 7:20 p. m., and arrive at Buffalo at 8:50 a. m. Between Buffalo and Emporium,these trains will stop only at East Aurora, Arcade and Port Allegany. This is an important item of news as it opens a new through route from Buf falo to Philadelphia, Washington and the South. It will be seen that the service is remarkably good, and that the route will bo the shortest from Buffalo to Washington. It will give the Western New York and Pennsyl vania a short line to Philadelphia and Washington, thus placing it directly in line for Southern competition. The mileage between Buffalo and Washing ton, via Emporium, will be 440, as against 450 via Canandaigua. and 554 via Lehigh Valley. Emporium Liars Club. The Emporium club met in Ilirseh's wood shed last Monday evening, with Ed. .Mur.se in tlie chair. Judge Brcnnan, our worthy secretary, was brought to ta.sk and asked to account for the unpleasant odor in the room. The Judge said that "some gall darned simpleton had put something on his pipe stem." A committee was appointed to investigate the matter and it was found th« .Judge hail came in contact with some liniburger cheese and wiped his hands on his whiskers. He was let off with the usual fine—eight cents. One of our members reported that Snyder had sold his dog and surprised his friends by making himself a present ot a new pipe. Snyder's old pipe is fjuite a relic, being made out of the horn of a Rocky Mountain sheep which that gentleman run down after a thirty-six hour chase, during his travels through that region looking for the red man, and he says he proposes to reserve this unique piece ot art until William Jen nings Bryan is elected president when he will present the; same to him. Ed. MeNerney then said he thought something of handing in an application for a position on the police force, which office he believed would be suitable to bis health. Johnny Hogan said he would make a good officer, and MeNerney left his order for a pair of bow-legged overalls, a red "jumper" and a hickory club. Willard Sweesy came tumbling in all out of breath and said he had been sent to town for the doctor to attend Geo. Skinner, who had gotten loose somehow and ate a bushel and a half of sour po tatoes and it was feared he could not continue training for bis fight with James Jeffries. Dalrymple made a motion to hold a baii(|uet next Saturday evening, and it is needless to say that his proposition met the approval of every member present, except Kaekcnmeister, who said lie was sorry he could not attend as he had made arrangements to take a visit that evening and it would be impossible to be present. Some little debate arose 011 j what the menu should be, and finally it i was left to a committee to decide. A j special meeting was called for Thursday j evening, when all arrangements will be I made. SEC'Y". Tommy—"l'op, are the wages of sin j paidin money?" Tommy's Pop— 1-Some | times in alimony my son." Our character is l-vealt d not so much I by the way in which we act in the big | things as in die little things of life. Slnnemahoning Liars Club. The Sinueinuhoning Liars Club met as ! was stated last week, in C. li. Bailey's chicken coop and some excitement was created owing to the roost, on which Otto McKay, our presiding officer was perched, giving away, landing him on his back. Norman Johnson and John Logue were appointed to prepare a candidate for initiation. Arming themselves with chains and two bull rings, the candidate was so frightened that he has not been seen or heard of since. The members were all very much disappointed, but we managed to get away with a couple cases of mineral water. The balance of the evening was spent in telling yarns. The weather on Friday evening was the topic. Metzger reported that the rain fall in one hour, was the largest he ever saw. Metzger said he set a bushel measure in his front yard and it rained full iri one hour. Pap Bcrfild said that was nothing, as he set out splint basket and it rained lull the same shower. A few fish stories were sprung but were ruled out by the chair as the season for bass fishing is not quite ripe yet. Pup I'lodget and Chas. Beldin were selected as delegates to the Repub lican National convention held at I'hila delphia next month, and should either one of these gentlemen be chosen as vice president you will hear from them. Joe Summerson got on his war paint and we had a rough house for a few minutes. Ilanscome, to restore order in vited them all to have something, Joe Strayer beiug the only member who re fused. Our next meeting will be held in Beldin's wagon shop. Pap Blodget and Jesse Nichols will furnish the chickens. The club adjourned. FIDE. LETTER FROM IIALLVE SMITH. Williamsport, Pa.. May lit, 1!)00. DEAR PAP:—I will drop you a few lines and let you know that I. am doing well and will soon be able to be up. I hope you are all well and enjoying your selves. I received the PRESS this morn ing and enjoyed reading the club news. It was all right and there was a lot of fun over it. The fellows take turns reading it. We have some pretty good times here too. I think I will be abie to be home in three weeks. The nurses all look at the club items and laugh. I will send you a few more items and a few new names. Fisher laughed when 110 read the items and said he would like to join. One of the fellows was so well pleased with the piece that he wants me to cut it out and give it to him to take home. I think the S. L. C., is improving, as there arc a few applications here to ride the goat. Benezette may have some second growth material but we have some first growth material here. Jas. Coyle leaves here to-day for up the river and he says if he meets Pap Blodget he will give him some ringers. Mr. Fisher is anxious to ride the goat. Mr. \Vm. Shaw is another applicant but says he cannot ride without stirrups. Mr Wil son is one of my best members and should he meet l'ap Blodget I am afraid that talented member would have to drop his feathers and take a sneak. I would advise the club to buy some tickets from Mr. Fisher and should any accident hap pen while riding the goat they would be prepared to send them to the proper place for treatment. Yours truly, H. E. SMITH. The following is an application for membership from a Mr. Wilson in the Williamsport hospital : Mr. M. BLODGET, Scribe. DEAR SIR : —By request of 11. E. Smith, I wish to offer myself as an ap plicant for membership in the S. L. 0. While lying beside Mr. Smith, in tlie Williamsport hospital he has been in structing me in the art necessary to be come a member of the club. As to his ability as an instructor, I imagine he must be a charter member and no doubt is unexcelled. I am progressing very rapidly but my most sincere regret is that I soon must leave him. He wishes me to relate some of iny "wild and woolly" adventures that I have experienced in my travels, but I shall leave that for the future. Should I be accepted, and your goat r have the wings of an eagle, the saddle ot a feather bed, (which would be very nec essary for my physical condition), and Strength of the bull that "bushed" the train off the Brooklyn bridge. 1 would ask you to send the goat down that I might take an aerial flight and return with him and be initiated at your next meet ing at Beldin's chicken coop. Prof. Smith has called our class and so I must close. Hoping to receive a favorable reply, I remain yours, MR. WILSON. | GROCERIES. ] S J. A.
