Death of a Bright Little Girl. Sunday evening the sad news was passed around that Clara May, only daugtherof Mr. and Mrs.S.D. McCoole, had died at 3:40 o'clock at the home of her parents on Driftwood avenue, after but three days illness, of membraneous croup. She was aged 4 years, 4 months and todays. Expressions of sympathy j were heard from everyone. Clara was ( a bright little girl and a great favorite of the writer as well as of all who knew her. She had a premonition of her deatli and many times during the past few months to d her parents slie was"go ing up where God is." Everything that medical aid, loving hearts and willing hands could do was done to stay the hand of death, but all in vain and she ( was called to join the heavenly host with the parting words "I'm going away." Tho parents have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their sad bert»avement. The funeral took place Tuesday after- { noon at 3 o'clock from St. James' j Church. Interment was made in the ! family burial plot in Oak Hill cemetery. —Driftwood Gazette. The PRESS ex tends its sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. j McCoole and family and deeply regret their misfortune. Wo know our citi zens will join us in these expressions. It is Shameful. It is with regret and burning shame that we find it necessary to record the fiendish action of some people who j frequent the Newton cemetery during | the summer evenings, and commit the ! most debasing depredations. Aside from robbing graves of floral tributes, placed there by sorrowing friends, these night prowlers trample over the graves of those who are dear in the memory of surviving friends, and ofall spots that should be regarded sacred, even by the lowest and most depraved character, is the silent domicile of our departed loved ones. It is not conjec tured that these same ramblers of the night hie themselves to this lonely locality for immoral purposes, for the lateness of the hour lyjars testimony against them as well as the company they keep. There surely ought to be something done to stop this sort of business. It is also noticed that the gates are allowed to swing open and cows, un lawfully running at large, have com pletely disfigured mounds that were, on decoration day, in a beautiful con dition. The trespass law ought to be stringently enforced. Sad News. Many hearts were made sad in Em porium when word was received and circulated of the death of Mrs. Lorena wife of Rev. C. L. Bates, formerly Rector of Emmanuel Church at this, place, and highly hon ored, at her late home in Wilkinsburg, Pa., Sunday evening. Deceased leaves a husband and three children, the' youngest two weeks old. Mrs. Bates was loved and esteemed by all in this place where she was universally known, and especially will she be mourned by those of our young people who em ployed hc-r as music teac her while she resided here with her parents. She was a lady of kind, loving and unas suming nature, and as a music instruc tor and performer she was n decided success. This entire community feels keenly her demise, and we are sure will join us in sinecrest expressions of sympathy to the sorely afflicted family : and friends of this noble lady. The remains were taken to Titusville for interment, on Wednesday. Tuesday's Pittsburg Post says in its column of deaths: "On Sunday even ing, June 17, 1900, Lorena May Mc- Closkey, beloved wife of Rev. Carroll L Bates, rector of St. Stephen's Church, Wilkinsburg. Service s will be held at St. Stephen's Church, corner of Frank lin avenue and Pitt street, Wilkinsburg, on Wednesday, June 20, at 10a.m. Interment at Titusville, Pa , on arrival of train leaving Pittsburg at 1:40 p. m.

A workman on the Kinzua bridge fell from a great height, about one hundred feet. On his downward course he grasped a rope, thus succeeding in breaking the fall, but the skin and flesh was torn from his hands. The other day while discussing the turmoil between the Chinese and "Box ers," a gentleman who was interested wanted to know what they would do with the "other fellows who didn't 'box'." If you are in business and want to do business do all you can to help the town in which you are in business. The newspapers in any town or city do as much or more for the place than any other concern, therefore give them your support by having your printing done at home newspaper offices. The pension department has ruled that "Any pensioner, the victim of strong drinkand dissipated habits, who makes a public nuisance of himself, may be investigated by Uncle Sam, and if found guilty is likely to bo dropped from the pension rolls." This notice does not except Cameron county. Already the newspapers are warning parents against allowing children to use toy pistols. The percussion caps used are charged with fulminate of mercury, causing blood poisoning and producing lock jaw. There were hun dreds of deaths after last Fourth of July from this cause. Keep the toy pistols away. They aro more dangerous than any other kind of explosives. The employes in all the departments of the railroad shops are rushed with work. Renovo never had a more pros perous summer for the working classes. --Renovo Record. That is a very good argument why the editor of the Record, as well as those having the welfare of the laboring and industrial classes at heart, should see that the good pros perous times be continued by electing Wm. McKinley and Republican pros perity will bo guaranteed. The Buffalo Evening News, Tuesday, gives account of a confession by the pastor of the church, connected with the murder of the two young ladies, in California, for which Durrant, superin tendent of the Sunday School, was banged, and who, it will be remember ed, protested his innocence to the last. This preacher, who was the chief wit ness against Durrant, confessed on his deathbed, the other day, to have him self killed the young ladies. Circum stantial evidence will, no doubt, hang a man, but it often bangs the wrong man, as in this case. Buffalo Chamber .Music Club Coming. The ladies of Emmanuel Church have secured the above popular Music Club and will give a Musical at Miss May Gould's Studio, next Tuesday afternoon and evening, for the benefit of the building fund. Miss Agnes McCoy, of Smethport, a popular soprano, has kindly volunteered to assist the Club. This will be a great musical treat for our people. The fact that already more than one hundred and fifty tickets have been sold is a guarantee that the musical will be a success. Arrange ments have been madeforamattineeat 3:30 p. m., in order to accommodate those who may not be able to attend the evening musical. Tickets for mat tinee 25c, evening 35c. All who may desire to attend will be welcomed. The patronesses of the musical are: Mesdames Josiah Howard, William Howard, Thos. Gallagher, Laura Bryan, Elizabeth Howard, T. F. Moore, B. W.

The following press notices will give our readers some idea of the popularity of this Music Club: A very good sized audience greeted the Chamber Music Club Friday even ing at the Methodist Church. Mr. Fricke has appeared here before and his artistic work on a previous appear ance was assurance that this concert would bo a rare musical treat, and such it proved to be. The first number, the beautiful Beet hoven Trio, Op. 11, showed admirable ensemble work, careful phrasing and shading, but lacked some what in warmth and breadth of tone. Mr. Ball played the Serenade by Pierne with great delicacy and style and produced a full singing tone on his violin. In this number and the second (Tho Bee, by Schubert,) he showed a perfect mastery of his instrument. In response to an encore he played a Ma zurka with great dash and brilliancy. The second trio numbers were in every way satisfactory. Tho Russian Folk Sc».g by Glinka, one of the most beautiful numbers on tho program, was exquisitely rendered. The players were in perfect sympathy, all the tones of the different instruments blending into one harmonious whole. Mr. Friclte's numbers Sur le Lac (Godard 1) and Melody (Rubinstein) were played with all the skill that char acterizes this artist. Mr. Fricke has a thorough musician soul, a refined, well trained taste and musical intelligence that makes his playing always a delight. His numbers evoked such hearty ap plause that ho kindly added another number. The three national dances which closed tho performances were given with the true national coloring and spirit and closed a most successful and pleasant evening.—Fredonia Censor, April 25, 1900. ttt The ladies of the Delaware Avenue Baptist Church, ever noted for the suc cess of their many entertainments, gave a musical last evening in the church parlors to a large and representative audience, composed of members of the church and friends. From the enthu siastic applause and many encores de manded the listeners thoroughly appre ciated the delightful music presented. The Buffalo Chamber Music Club, Mrs. N. M. Gould, piano; Mr. Joseph A. Ball, violin; and Mr. Richard Fricke, 'cello, were heard in a number of selections. The first number, the beautiful Beet hoven Trio, Op. 11, showed admirable ensemble work, careful phrasing and shading, and a true interpretation of the composer. The second trio numbers were in every way satisfactory. The "Russian Folk Song," by Glinka, one of the most exquisitely rendered. The players were in perfect sympathy, all the tones of the beautiful numbers on the program, was the different instruments blending into one harmonious whole. The three national dances which closed the performances were giver, with the true national coloring and spirit. Mr. Fricke's numbers were played with all the skill that characterizes this artist. Mr. Fricke has refined, well trained ta6te and musical intelligence that makes hisplaying always a delight. Mr. Ball played Walter's "Prize Song," from"The Mastersingers,"with skill and expression. Mrs. Minnehansang Gounod's superb composition, "The Worker," and a group of crndlo songs, with de«p feel ing and musical intelligence, her beau tiful controlto voice always charms with its richness and purity.
