EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 31,1900.
Promising Outlook.
Supt. A. Brady reports the output of
the Emporium furnace last week to be
the largest in the history of that plant.
Also the largest single day's run oc
curred thp same week. Emporium
furnace is one of the best operated by |
C. R. Baird & Co., and its future is I
very promising.
Swine and (iossipers.
Swine enjoy rooting in mud and filth., j
So some people enjoy hearing and j
spreading scandal. They are as eager \
for the latest gossip as turkey buzzards !
are for a dead horse. But remember, j
the gossipers who tell you about others j
will not spare you. Shun them. Let 1
the gossipers know as little about your- I
self as possible. Don't be a gossiper or
a scandal monger. It is an evidence of j
a low mind. Don't root in the mud. !
It will stick to you.
Death's Doings.
GILLON.
The many Cameron county friends
of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Gillon will be j
pained to learn of the death of their ;
son, and only child, JOHN SYLVESTER, J
aged two years and nine months,which j
occurred at Philadelphia last Saturday, !
of scarlet fever. Dr. Smith of this j
place, was called to see the sick child j
on Friday, but it had passed the aid of
i human skill. We regret to hear that |
j Mrs. Gillon is now confined to her bed j
I with the same disease. Mrs. Gillon
I was formerly one of the teachers in our
| public schools and will be pleasantly
remembered as Miss Anna Brown.
Will flaintain Hemlock Prices.
At a meeting of the hemlock lumber
manufacturers and wholesale dealers
at Williamsport Tuesday, tho lumber
j situation was discussed. Reports were
! presented of the stock of dry lumber on
hand in Pennsylvania, and the amount
manufactured since January 1 last, to
date, and the same showed that the
stock on hand was very much depleted.
Taking this into consideration, along
with the advance in price of mcmlocl:
timber lands, the increased cost of labor,
material and supplies for lumbering
I operations, it was unanimously agreed
that the price of hemlock should be
, maintained.
Hurdcr Case.
What was doubtless a murder of a
| cold-blooded character, was disclosed
at Tyler, Clearfield county, Tuesday of
I last week, by the discovery in a pond
!of the body of a boy baby. District
Attorney Woodward is investigating,
! and it is reported here that arrests
which will involve quite promising
j parties aro to be made. Tho body of
; the child, which Dr. Sullivan found by
a post mortem examination had been
1 born well and healthy, was entirely
, naked when found. It was doubtless
tossed into the water and drowned.
Tue child was found i i a little pond
close by a pump used by the Tyler
Mining Company, and at a point quito
remote from any dwelling. There were
no marks of violence on the body, and
water in tho lungs is evidence indispu
table that tho baby died in the pond.
Tiie discovery of the brutal crime has
created intense excitement and indig
nation. The authorities have in nowise
indicated whom they suspect of tho
baby's murder, but tho populace de
clare the matter must bo cleared up
and the guilty parties punished. It
can hardly be believed that the mother
of a child would herself bo guilty of so
horrible a crime.
Birthday Party.
Forty-one years ago Saturday W. L.
Sykes, one of Galeton's most promi
nent business men, first saw light of
day at Round Island, Clinton county,
Pa., and Saturday evening thirteen of
his friends gave him a surprise party
at his pleasant home on Main street, to
remind him of the fact. After light
refreshments had been served, Mr.
Sykes was presented with a mahogany
office chair. The whole evening was
spent,in an enjoyable manner. Mr.
Sykes' life has been filled with years of
usefullness, and that he may be sp.iv d
to continue the good work is the wish
of all. Gnleton Dispatch

The trustees of the M. E. Church are

Mr. Lemuel Quinn, of DuF.ois has

time he filled a similar position for the
Pennsylvania R. R. -St. Marys Gazette.
You have often heard of the printers'
towel, no doubt. Well, we have one,
a marvel, indeed. It is almost human
in some respects, it can talk—in its own
language (a polecat need not speak
english to apprise you of its having
been 'roud); it can 3tand alone, and we
arc sure it could walk were it not too
stiff. Perhaps rheumatism caused this
unfortunate stiffness.
The old Spanish cannon which the
federal government loaned to Bradford
was discovered Wednesday to contain
a leaded shell. The piece was taken
outside the city and the shell fired. It
is probably the first Spanish shell ever
fired in Northern Pennsylvania. The
wonder is that the shell was not ex
ploded by accident on its journey from
Porto Rico to Bradford. The cannon
was mounted and placed in the public
square yesterday.
Gen. Charles Miller, of Franklin, Pa.,

brisk hastier, full of good common
sense and the means to make his de- ,

The Punxsutawney Spirit truthfully
says: ''lt isn't really to a man's credit
to be so peace-loving that he will sub
mit to indignities rather than resent
them. And a good citizen will not re
frain from making information against
a neighbor who violates a law, simply
to avoid contention. We must accept
the unpleasant responsibilities of lif'eas
well as the pleasant ones, and a little
scraping goe.s in with the rest. There
is a difference between being ugly and
contentious and standing up for what
is right, and there is such a thing as
being too easy. We should try to avoid
both extremes.

it is understood that a few Western

The acquisition of this line adds 644

MEMORIAL SERVICES
€ai holie ami Emmanuel Cliurcli Ser
vices Solemn aii;i Elaborate.
Eloquent Addresses by Father Dow
ney and Rector Robertson.
Memorial services in Emporium were
this year held in St. Mark's Catholic
Church, last Sunday morning, and at
Emmanuel Episcopal Church in the
evening. The day was fine aud our
people all turned out to pay due respect
to the living defenders of our country,
and to honor the memories of the dead
heroes.
ST. MARK'S CHURCH.
Promptly at 10:30 o'clock two hun
dred children, representing the St.
Mark's Sunday School, under the tnar
shalship of Mr. F. X. Blumle, marched
to the Post room, corner of Broad and
Fourth streets and escorted the mem
bers of Lieut. D. W. Taggart Post and
the Woman's Relief Corps to the
Church. At ihe Church door the chil
dren opened ranks, the line extending
to the chancel of the Church, when the
veterans and the ladies entered the
Church, each beinc presented with a
beautiful bouquet, as they took their
seats—the choir at the same time sing
ing "America." Throughout the im
pressive service the vast audience,
composed of all denominations were
deeply interested and impressed. After
the celebration of High Mass, Rev. Fath
er Downey addressed the congregation
in an eloquent manner.
We had hoped to publish the address
in full and we must confess we are
greatly disappointed in not being able
to do so. Father Downey's extreme
modesty would not allow it, although
we urgently requested the manuscript.
Our readers, no doubt, will be more
than disappointed, especially those
who were unfortunate enough to not
hear the learned gentleman's remarks.
The interior of Father Downey's
Church was handsomely decorated
especially for the occation, with flags
and bunting, and red, white and blue
lighted candles in large numbers were
placed upon all the altars. The singing
throughout the service was of a high
order and intensely charming. The
service closed with "The Star Spangled
Banner," as the great audience dis
persed. It was a red letter day for St.
Mark's Church and its patriotic Father.
KMMANUEL CHURCH.
Emmanuel Episcopal Church, when
the hour for service arrived, was
crowded with our citizens of every de
nomination. Promptly at 7:30 the Sur
pliced Choir of 20 voices entered the
Church and slowly proceeded to the
chancel, when the regulation service
was observed,all cordially joining in the
service. A delegation of Lieut. D. W.
Taggart Post, CI. A. R., and Ladies Re
lief Corps occupied seats reserved for
the occasion. Rev. Mr. J. M. Robert
son, the Rector, never appeared to
better advantage and held his large
congregation in wrapt attention. The
Rev. gentleman spoke from the follow
! ing text:
"For our citizenship is in heaven."—
Phil. iii. 20. (It. V.)
The occasion which we observe this
evening is one which appeals to our
noblest sentiments of gratitude, admi
ration and patriotism, it. gives me
sincere pleasure to extend a cordial
greeting to the veterans of the (Jrand
Army, to the Ladies of the Relief
Corps and to the other friends who
have kindly favored us with their
presence this evening. Wecountitan
honor to add our tributes, however
feeble, t<> the praise which is the just
need of these veterans and of their de
parted comrades, nor is it out of keep
ing with this place that at such a time
as this we should speak of the cause for
which they fought. If that cause was
a just and holy cause, • we believe it
was, it surely must speak tom some
message of heavenly things.
In speaking of that cause, we shall
■ do so in. no spirit of sectional partisan-
I ship. These memorial occasions awak
' en no echoes of past si rife orbitterness.
The chasm between North and South
is olosed. The men in blue and tin
men in gray are brothers. We quest ion
theloy;. s.v of the veterans of the lost
! cause as little as we ev< r questioned
I their skill and bravery in battle. In
j deed, we feel proud of the glory which
they won, for it is all in the family.
