GREEN, ESIJ. 1 REPUBLICAN DELEGATE-AT-LARGE TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. The Republicans of Cameron county j have been highly honored by the Re- j publican State Convention, by naming j ! our distinguished townsman, Mr. B. W. Green, as one of the Delegates-at- Large to the National Convention to meet in Philadelphia next Tuesday to j place in nomination a ticket that will represent the sentiment of a majority j of the American people and receive | their ballots in November next. Penn- j sylvania will have eight Delegates-at l.arge consisting of M. S. Quay, James Rlverson, Chas. A. Porter, Jno. B. Steel, Frank Reeder, William Council, li. W. Green and John Leisenring. B. W. Green was born near Mansfield, i Tioga county, Pa., and passed his early : days upon a farm. In the first year | of the organization of the Mansfield j Normal School he entered that institu ' tion and under the instruction of Prof. [ F. A. Allen graduated in 1868, after a I three years' course. For a period of | one year after graduating he taught i in the schools of Tioga county, coming to Emporium in 1869, (where he at tained his majority and cast his first vote), to accept the prineipalship of | the Emporium schools, which position j he acceptably filled for a term of two ! years. At this time, 1871 and 1872, he j was appointed acting Sheriff of Came | ron county and entered the law office j of Hon. J. ('. Johnson, as a student. 1 Nov. 1872 In; was admitted to the bar ; of this county, being the first student j | admitted to tiic courts of Cameron. ' ; He at once actively engaged in the ! practice of his chosen profession, form ing, in 1574, a partnership with the late ' J. B. Newton, under the firm name of ; Newton & Green and continued a j member of said firm until the death of Mr. Newton. I\lr. Green is at present | j the senior member of the law firm of j I Green & Shaffer and enjoys a wide ac-; j quaintaricc and large practice in the j ' courts of this and adjoining counties, ! also in the U. S. Courts of the state. ! He is solicitor for a number of import-1 | ant institutions,corporations and man i ufactories. In addition to being Sheriff | of this county lie has been elected I Chairman of the Republican County Committee several terms; was delegate ' to Republican State Convention both times when Gen'l James A. Beaver was nominated for Governor, in 1882 and 18S6; was elected County Treasurer in 3830 for a term of three years, by the second largest majority ever given to any candidate in this county; was 1 elected Delegate to the Constitutional | Convention in 1871, to represent the j counties of Cameron, Forest, Elk and I Clarion. In 1898 he was the choice of this county for President Judge, but gave way to the sentiment in favor of the unanimous election of Judge May er. r>ir. Green is a cordial supporter j of President McKinley's policy and as I Chairman of the Republican County I Committee will make an energetic I canvass of this county. Asa Republi can Mr. Green has always been allied j with the regular organization since his I majority and, with one or two excep : tions in county matters, always stood |by the nominations of his party. He is honorable in his dealings with men, j a good citizen and a true friend to his j friends. Will Attend the Convention. A large number of Cameron county Republicans will leave next Saturday evening for Philadelphia to attend the Republican National Convention. The party has chartered a special sleeper for the occasion and intend joining in the gran*l parade Monday evening. B. W. Green, Esq., and Capt. C. F. Barclay, delegates-at-large, will head the dele ; gation. Shippen School Board. The Shippen School Board organized by electing F. X. Blumle President, N. A. O.strun Secretary and L. W. Spence j Treasurer. The teachers will be select ed Saturday, July 7th. CAPT. CHARLES F, BARCIAV. ALTERNATE DELEGATE-AT-LAHGE THE REPUBLICAN NATION VENTION, JUNE J ' ROOT). For the first time in the history of Cameron county has our little county been accorded recognition at the hands of the Republicans of Pennsylvania. At the Republican State Convention held in the city of Harrisburg, April 18th, 1900, the resolution or recommen dation of the Congressional Convention j of this district was unanimously ac- ] cepted and the subject of this article elected as oneof the alternate delegates at-large to meet in Philadelphia next Tuesday, to "place in nomination that gallant soldier and spotless statesman, Hon. William McKinley, for President of the Greater United States, and an equally as prominent a citizen for Vice- President. This is an honor seldom accorded to a citizen walking in the humble walks of life and all who are called by the greatest and grandest party of centuries should and do ap preciate the honor. While the readers of the PRESS, and all citizens generally, are intimately acquainted with Mr. Barclay, yet they, as well as ourselves have known little of the antecedents of this busy gentle man. We have taken some time and gathered a few facts that, at some fu ture time, may aid in the history of our county. CAPT. CHARLES F. BARCLAY is a lin eal descendent of King James I, of England. The Barclay family is one of the oldest and best known in Amer ica and has intermarried with it the Livingstons, Robinsons, Stuyvesants, Schttylers and many old New York houses—plain American citizens who have in their veins the blood of Will iam the Conqueror, which is more than Queen Victoria can say, for she has not a drop of English blood in her veins. John Barclay came to America in 1731, as Governor of East Jersey, and set tled at Perth Amboy. On his mother's side he traces his ancestory to the Al iens of Massachusetts and Connecticut. His maternal grandfather was Eben ezer Allen, of West Woodstock, Conn., who moved to Owego, N. Y., in 1806, j and served as a soldier and officer in the Revolutionary war. Here the eld est daughter married George A. Bar clay, the father of our honored citizen. Mrs. Barclay died Nov. 22, 1881, al though her husband yet survives but in feeble health. George A. Barclay settled in the wilds of Potter county in 1845, when Chas. F. Barclay was only one year old, and moved to Cameron county in 1865 with his family and ac tively engaged in lumbering. Mr. Barclay, Sr., while an active and ener getic business man, took a deep inter est in public affairs and served in a great many positions of importance. He served two terms in the legislature from this county, in the years of 1881- 'BS-'SB and 'B7. Capt. Barclay enlisted as a private in the 149 th Pa., 2nd Buck tails; received commission as 2d Lieut, on the battle field of Chancellorsville. At battle of Gettysburg, when tin; First Corps was surrounded, he was captur ed and passed near eighteen months in Southern prisons—Libbv, Dansville, Macon, Ga., Savannah, Charleston, S. C.. and Columbia. He was exchang ed at Charleston Harbor, Dec. 17th, 1864; was promoted to First Lieut, while in prison and to Capt. in 1865. I While in the prison pens of the South Hon. J. C. Johnson, his Capt. when captured, served with him and shared in his sufferings. After the close of the war Mr. Bar- I clay entered Michigan University Law | Department, but gave up the profes | sion of law and entered the general j merchandise and lumber business, | with his brother Geo. B. Barclay, at ' Sinnamahoning, this county. Here | they have organized one of the largest j lumbering plants in the state, employ j ing many hundreds of men. Mr. Bar j clay served as Presidential elector in | 1892. His eminent fitness to fill the I most exalted position within the gift of the people is (indisputable. The writer hereof regrets that he has cast his lot, politically speaking, in oppo sition to the regular party organiza tion, thereby standing in the way of political advancement. His bitterest factional opponents concede his dis tinguished fitness and all agree that his Republicanism upon National is sues are of the most stalwart type. We hope the time may soon come when factionalism in Pennsylvania, as well as Cameron county, will be a thing of the past; when men will not be ostracized on account of their hon est convictions upon partv questions; when Indian warfare shall cease and the grand old party unitedly meet and defeat the enemy. When that time does come then our little county can reward the patriots, ad vance the faithful and elevate to a higher plane such men as Capt. C. P. Barclay and many others. God grant that that day may soon dawn. THE MACCABEES. THE FOLLOWING, COPIED FROM THE PITTSBURG CATHOLIC MAY BE OK INTEREST TO SOME OF OUR READERS: "From information received by the Catholic, we have every reason to be lieve that an item recently circulated in the Catholic press is incorrect. The item purported to be a condemnation of the Order of the Maccabees, and was conveyed by letter by Mgr. Mar tinelli, the Apostolic Delegate, to the Bishop of Indianapolis. Its publica tion caused much comment, as many of our excellent people are members of the Maccabees."—Pittsburg Catholic. Our local authorities would do well to learn something about this order, as well as study a little of their Church matters before they condemn an or ganization they know nothing about. Those critics who parade their religion oil the lappel of their coats, as a gen eral thing, are poor Christians and void of all charity. No member of the Catholic Church need be intimidated from joining this order, by such au thority. Prof. Stauffer. Our citizens, as well as the friends of education throughout the state, will be pained to learn that Prof. 11. F. Stauffer, who has for ten years so efficiently served as Principal of our Borough schools may leave us to accept the po sition of City Supt. of Millville, N. J., a town of 13,000 population and fifty schools. Mr. Stauffer has been noti fied that he has been elected by the Board of Education. During Prof. Stauffer's residence in Emporium our schools have advanced until they rank with the best in the state and their efficiency has been the envy of many tows in this section. While we do not blame the Prof, for desiring advancement in his chosen profession, we feel keenly his decision to leave us. Our friends down in Jer sey will find this gentleman a valuable citizen, a close student and untiring worker in the cause of education and an honor to their town. Wo feel sure that the people of this entire county, who are warmlv attached to Mr. Stauf fer, will wish both him and his family success and happiness in their new home. Evidently a Canard. An item similar to the following has been going the rounds of the press of this section: "Ray White, who up to a few months ago, was employed in the office of the Emporium Press, was kill ed at Portland, Oregon a few days ago, by falling through an elevated side walk. Mr. White had many friends in Aus tin who were much surprised to hear of his death. While a resident of Emporium he was very attentive to one of Austin's young ladies.—Austin Republican." How the story started is a mystery. The PRESS has no infor mation of Mr Wdite's death, not even his injury. Should such have occurred we certainly would have been apprised. The Spinsters' Convention. | The much-talked-of Spinsters' Con j vention assembled at the opera house, I Tuesday evening, under tiie auspices j of the ladies of Emmanuel Church. I The proceedings throughout were in j terestingand pointed and elicited much ' applause. The ladies made such a suc | cess of this venture that in the near | future wo may expect the young (?) ladies to make another appearance in ■ connection with the; "buds." The makeoverseope, manipulated by Mr. 1 A. !.). Gould, oi'Eldred, was laughable and a great invention. The entertain ment no doubt netted a handsome sum. Change of Time.

In his last issue Brother Lay man very pointedly states his views: "The action of the Democratic conven tion in New York this week makes the nomination of Wm. J. Bryan as the standard bearer of that party, practi cally certain at the National Convention in Kansas City, July sth. Imbued with certain, well defined principles I have been an earnest worker and co-operator in that party since reaching my major ity. To these principles the narrow platform and creed of W. J. Bryan are antagonistic. lam not so vain or ego tistic as to believe that my action in this or any other matter will make the i least difference to Wm. J. Bryan or the i Democratic party, but I simply will not i use the paper in the encouragement of ! an idea that I believe to be wrong, j radically so at this time, and especially ; antagonistic to the present, conceded j prosperity of the nation. No class of | business men or artisians in Pennsvl vania has reason to find fault with the • existing business conditions througli ; out tlit; state, ; nd it seems to me that j the advocacy of an untried principle ! in matters of such importance to the bit; in."-') welfare of the state and its citizens, cannot and should not be well received, hence my determination to avoid it " Sunday Excursion to Niagara Falls, June 17.
