As Others See Them.
Miss Mary Robinson, of this place,
| and Mr. Elmer Burlingame, recent
i graduates of West Chester Normal
School, have both secured lucrative po
sitions—the former in Delaware county
! and the latter principal of the Austin
| schools. The West Chester Local News,
while speaking of the numerous grad'
| uates has this to say of our young
' friends:
MARY ROBINSON.
One of the favorite reciters of the
; Moore society is Miss Mary Robinson,
i who has on several occasions taken i
: prominent parts in the public meetings. |
She hopes in time to specialize in pri- j
: mary work and expression. With the
| experience gained from ten years of
teaching in the schools of Shipper)
township and Emporium,' Cameron
county, she will be able to take up j
| schoolroom duties readily. Miss Rob- j
inson is a graduate of the high school
i of her home, Emporium, where her !
I parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Robinson i
1 reside.
ELMER BUItLINGAME.
Elmer Burlingame, is from Sizerville, !
: Cameron county. lie is a son of Delos j
Burlingame, a retired farmer and is re- i
| lated to Anson Burlingame, at one time j
j Ambassador to China. Another rela- '
I tive, Edgar Burlingame, has held an ;
editorial position on the staff of the well j
j known "'Scribnera" Magazine. The j
! young man will ultimately enter some
j other occupation, but at present will
: probably loach. He has already had
three years experience as teacher at
"Forest House," Potter county. He
attended the High School at Olean,
; New York and took the Junior year at j
I Lock Haven State Normal School, j
j While here an Ax-yan by choice and ;
conviction and in the realm of study !
; delights most in the languages.
Pro Bono Publico.
Now that the hot season is upon us, I
it is well to remind the public of the j
necessity to be especially vigilant in
the prevention of sickness. There is a
penalty of $lOO for throwing house re
fuse, garbage, dead animals, etc., 011 ■
any street or alley or in any ditcli or J
public place, or for keeping decaying '
animal or vegetable matter in any j
yard or cellar for more than twenty- j
four hours. I would respectfully urge
1 all persons to co-operate with the
Board of Health in its efforts to main- J
tain a high standard of cleanliness and .
health in the borough.
Use plenty of lime in all low, damp j
places, and about privy vaults, &c.
If nuisances are known to exist re- :
port the same to the Secretary of the 1
; Board in writing upon a blank for that!
purpose, which can be procured from
the secretary.

A Girl's College Education.
A graduate of Cornell University ;
will tell in a carefully detailed article
in the August Ladies' Home Journal, ;
"How a Girl Can Work Her Way I
Through College." There are almost j
innumerable methods by which a girl I
can pay for her education while she is j
studying. Colleges and universities j
make most generous provisions for j
young women and young men who are \
without'money, but who have brains ;
and energy. So 110 apt, worthy girl
need be without a college education if j
she wants one and is determined to !
have it. This artice will tell how it is ;
to be obtained through personal effort. I

A Brilliant Social Event.
The longest day in the year was
brought to a brilliant close last Thurs
day evening, when Mr. and Mrs.
Josiah Howard, entertained upwards
of two hundred guests at their spacious
home on West Fourth street, in honor
1 of the fourteenth anniversary of their
marriage. The entire lower floor of
the house, which was elaborately and
handsomely decorated for the occa
sion, with palms, potted plants and
summer blosssoms, was thrown open
to the guests. The mantels were richly
banked with ferns and flowers, while
bunches of long stemmed roses nod
ding from tall vases were scattered
carelessly about the rooms. In the
dining room the decorations were
especially artistic and effective. Here
the color scheme was green and white.
Broad streamers of green ribbon,
upon which were caught long stemmed
white roses, extended from the chan
delier over the centre of the table to
its four corners and were here held in
place by bunches of white roses and
loops of ribbon. White roses with their
green foliage were scattered over the
j table. The candelabra shades were
of delicate green and the mantle was
banked in green and white foliage and
flowers. The verandahs which were
; also decorated and illuminated, were
j cleverly arranged for smoking rooms,
punch rooms and cosy corners. Upon
the lawn a> platform forty feet square
was erected for dancing. This was
gaily trimmed with lanterns, Hags and
bunting, while a tall screen of laurel,
with the shining leaves hid the dancers
from the public street. Chappell
orchestra of Williamsport, furnished
the music for dancing and also render
ed a number of fine selections in the
house during the reception hour.
Laedlein of Williamsport, furnished
the supper.
The reception which was general
and included the older element in
society as well as the rose buds, was
easily the most elaborate and com
plete social entertainment ever given
in Emporium.
Mr. and Mrs. Howard are ideal en
tertainers and left nothing undone
which could add to the comfort and
pleasure of their guests. They were
assisted in receiving by Miss Mingle,
of New York City, Mrs. Geo. Goshorn,
of Clarleston, W. Va., Mr. and Mrs. R.
A. Jaggard, of Williamsport and Mr.
and Mrs. Ross W. Barrows, of Lock
Haven.
The guests from out of town were:
Miss Mingle, New York city; Mrs.
George Goshorn and Master John
Hoffman Goshorn, Charleston, W.Va.;
Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Joggard, Williams
port; Mr. and Mrs. Ross W. Barrows,
Lock Haven; Miss Collins, Mrs. V. K.
Corbett, Driftwood; Mrs. Busier,
Hughesville; Dr. and Mrs. T'eLong,
Emporia, Florida.
The St. Mary's Races.
Mr. William Kaul, secretary of the
Erie Trotting Circuit, informs us that
the largest field of horses in the history
of the races as far an pertains to this
end of the circuit, will be that of the
forthcoming four days, July 3, 4, 5 and
6, and it is the intention of the associa
tion that there shall be nothing lacking
in the way of interest and amusement
on the dates named. The St. Marys
1 track is one of, if not the best, in the
circuit, and is being further improved
,in various ways. Keep these dates in
reserve for the approaching holidays.—

Off as Usual.
Hon. L. Taggart is at his old tricks
again and in his eagerness to assist 111
party wrecking rushes into print to
defend Hon. L. Emery, Jr., of Califor
nia, recently declared a candidate by
several self-appointed delegates to a
conference, in last week's Independent
' j and this week's PRESS attempts to de
-1 fend Mr. Emery, who is charged with j
the extending of the Congressional i
contest of Oct. 1880 up to within four j
days of election. The Congressional j
! Convention of that year met at Em- I
porium first, on the 7th, of Oct. 1880, j
with C. B. Gould, C. F. Barclay and J. j
P. McNarney as delegates for Judge i
1 Cochran. Several ballots were taken, j
j each county voting for its own can- |
1 didate as a compliment, it being well j
j understood that this county as well as j
; Judge Cochran, was in favor of the!
j nomination of Hon. H. C. McCormick. j
j The convention adjourned immediate
j ly after the complimentary ballots to
meet at Bradford, when, if our memory
is correct, Mr. Taggart took Mr. Bar
clay's place. From this time on until j
the close of the contest the fight was |
between McCormick, Judge Wilson ;
and Emery—Mr. McCormick leading !
all other candidates. The bitter con- (
test waged by Senator Emery came i
j near costing us the district. At Wells- j
boro, on Oct. 27th within four or five :
days of election Judge Wilson threw j
his votes to McCormick and gave that I
gentleman the nomination, with the 1
assistance of one vote from Sullivan, ■
13 votes. Mr. Emery held, in an iron
grip, the three McKem and two Sulli- j
van delegates to the last.
The assertion that Mr. Emery offer- i
ed to throw his delegates to Judge j
Cochran, who was not a candidate, in 1
his anxiety to defeat the nomination 1
of Clay McCormick, was a trick resort- 1
ed to but did not catch any nuckers.
Mr. Taggart after he entered the eon- ]
ference voted with McCormick's aide I
until the close of the conference. Tiio j
inside history of that contest is !
too well known to others and we do j
not care to lay bare the dealings of a j
plot to defeat Mr. McCormick and |
nearly cost the Republican party a i
Congressman.
The people of the 27th district know j
better than Mr. Taggart dare tell
where Mr. Emery has stood politically, j
His efforts to defeat the regular nominee j
of the Republican party will avail |
nothing. Jos. C. Sibley, the eloquent I
defender of President McKinley's i
policy upon the floor of Congress, will i
represent this district with honor dur- j
ing (he next two years.
Popular Society Treat.
The Music ales given by the ladies of
Emmanuel Church last Tuesday after- j
noon and evening at Miss May Gould's |
Studio, on Sixth street, was largely ]
attended by our citizens at both ses
sions—about two hundred being pres
ent during the evening. It was voted
the grandest musical treat ever given
in Emporium, we .are informed by those j
in attendance. The entertainment i
netted the church fund a neat sum. |
The Pastors of all churches were pres- \
ent, as well as their members and all.
express themselves delighted with the j
music furnished by the Buffalo Cham- j
ber Music Club, composed of Mrs. |
Nellie M. Gould, pianist; Mr. Jos. A. j
Ball, violinist; Mr. Richard Frieke,
'cellist; assisted by Miss Agnes McCoy, !
of Smethport, soprano.
The trio composed of Mrs. Gould, |
I Mr. Ball, and Mr. Fricke is recognized
| everywhere as one of the best combi-
I nations now before the public. Their
| ensemble work is faultless—the three
j playing as one. They are all admir
| ably equipped technically and their in
| terpretations are always artistic.
Mr. Fricke's 'cello solos were reu-
J dered with all the skill of an artist
j possessing a musicianly soul, refined
| taste and musical intelligence.
Mr. Ball's violin solos showed his
| splendid technique and great depth of
j feeling and true conception of each
| composer.
Miss Agnes McCoy, of Smethport, j
, | one of the most popular singers in this j
I section of the state, added greatly to '
| the success of the entertainment. Her j
| sweet and cultured voice and pleasant j
j address captured the large audience, i
Our citizens who attended the mus- j
: icales will heartily endorse the follow- j
1 ing from Rev. Mr. Robertson:
