Do You indorse Him? j A number of Emporium Republicans were induced to attend a so-called con vention recently held at Warren and vote for Ex-Senator Emery for Congress a trap laid for them. Now comes along tho democratic congressional convention and endorses the nornina tionofthe so-called Independent Re publicans, not however until Senator ! Emery came out in a letter repudiating one oft he corner stones of Republican ism and declared himself a free trader. At the democratic county convention recently held at Sniethport delegate John O'Brien of Bradford, read a pri vate letter from Sir. Emery, in which j thai, gentler::ar. condemns a protective ; tariff. In al) seriousness, we ask the supporter.-; of Senator Emery, in Cam | eron counly or the 27th district, who ! believe in the cardinal principles of Republicanism, how will you swallow | this man Emery? Obituary. Cora, danghtir of A. H. and Clara (.'rosbv, horn at Odin, May 18, 1878; I *' » » • » ; died at the Buffalo Woman's Hospital i corner of 7th and George St. just before , sunset, June 30, 3 000. ; Dependent on her own resources she : entered the class of '9B at tho College of Commerce at Scranton, from which I she graduated and immediately after I entered the employ of W. 11. Sullivan, i of Austin, where she won the regards jof her employers. But Buffalo pre- I sented better advantages and she ac -1 cepted a situation there last October, only to fall a victim to the epidemic of measles prevailing there in March. She partially recovered but a relapse brought on a complication of diseases , against whMi I' e best physicians were powerless to contend. In the strength of youth prepared j for a life of usefulness she was called to depart, leaving sorrow in her home | for its abiding guest. She was a mem i ber of the Presbyterian Church. Her funeral was held July 3d in the little M. ]•]. Church in Odin where Rev. Torkington prou.'hed a sympathetic j discourse from the book of Revelations, i last chapter, 3d and 4th verses. There were many flowers, emblems of tiie lovely sweetness of her affection. Interment at Inez, the old Homer Cem ! etery where the dust of four genera tions of her kindred mingle to wait the | resurrection. -Austin Republican. Many of our citizens will remember this estimable young lady, who some years ago made her home with Mrs. | Daniel Downey on Fifth and Vine St., and who won the affection of all who became acquainted with her. Not from Emporium. Rob't Stout committed suicide at Itidgway on Monday by jumping into the Clarion river. Is is reported that Stout came from Emporium, but as far as we can learn the unfortunate man i; does not hail from this place. It is also reported here that the suicide be longs in Renovo. Late News.

The PRESS hopes to in crease its facilities in order that we may give our patrons the best in the land. He sure you read this issue carefully. Death's Doings. ROBISON. Miss SADIE ROBISON, aged 17 years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Robison, died at the family residence on West Fifth street, last Monday morning, after an illness of many month:; with that dreaded disease con sumption. The deceased was highly respected by all who knew her and her death is a severe shock to her devoted parents. The funeral will be held from the M. E. Church this (Thursday) afternoon at two o'clock. Deceased was a mem ber of the M. E. Sunday School —Mrs. S. L. Stoddard and Mrs. R. P. Ileilman's class—and was very highly respected and spoken of by the Supt., Mr. T. B. Lloyd Surveying State Lines. W. P. Mitchell, the well known sur veyor of this city, with eight assistants is now engaged in making a survey of the state land in this section recently purchased by the state forestry reser vation. There are nearly 100,000 acres embraced in this block of lands, which is to be known as the A. C. Hopkins reservation. The lands are in Clinton, Centre and Cameron counties. The work of running the lines was begun on what is known as the Kulp & Wol verton tracts on the Big Sandy and Panther creeks, tributaries of Beech Creek. Mr. Mitchell thinks it will take four to five months to make the sur veys. Five thousand acres of the res ervation is in Cameron county, all the rest being in Clinton and Centre.— Clinton Republican. Well Paid for Sitting lip all Night. Mascus Braun, a newspaper man, who obtained a verdict ot §7-50 against W. Seward Webb, as president of the Wagner Palace Car company, because, after paying for a berth on a sleeping car, Mr. Baun found another man in his bed and was compelled to sit up all night, last Friday had that verdict con firmed by the city court's refusing to grant a new trial. The judge said he considered §750 little enough for such an inconvenience .is Braun had suffered. The decision makes an important precedent and purchasers of berths in sleeping cars will know more about their rights than they ever did. Burglar Caught. Yesterday an Italian emplyedon the Emporium & Rich Valley R. R., made a wholesale raid upon "Italy," while his companions were at work, stealing watches, revolvers, rings and other valuables. The culprit had oidy been employed by the company a few days. The entire crew came to Emporium and succeeded in capturing the thief, who was taken before Squire Larrabee and default of bail was locked up. lie is sure of a free trip down the river. From Driftwood Gazette. C. F. Laugh ton and wife spent a couple of days last week in Philadel phia ..Mrs. J. O. Brookbauk and daughter Ray have gone to Sizerville to spend the summer Miss Margaret Murphy of Emporium visited friends here a couple of days last week ... Miss Francelia Huntley, who won the post graduating diamond medal at the Chicago musical college, has returned to her home in this place. India Famine. The First National Bank has for warded $34.02 for relief of India famine sufferers. Contributions paid into the bank for that purpose. Advertise in the PRKSS BRIEF nENTION. Three prisoners are now confined in Fort Swope. There is quite a demand for dwelling houses in Emporium. This hot weather makes us think of seem to know when they are beaten. To invest, a little money so that it will go a long ways, buy a postage stamp. The ladies of the M. E. Church will hold a fair during the first week in Oc tober. And now Coudersport is likely to get a shirt factory in addition to her other industries. The restaurant (?) hasdeparted, much to the satisfaction of West Fourth street residents. On the way over, all references to icebergs will be considered personal by Croker. A blind man may not see merit in others, though he can easily feel his own importance. The Cuban voter cannot work off the story about having voted for every president since Jackson. The Democratic party will never for give the Republican party for making the country prosperous. Judging from the demand for seats, national conventions would be a pay ing institution if put"on the road." The platform ought to commend Bryan for the good he has done the country by staying out of the White llouso. Constable Wygant brought a prison er down from Sizerville yesterday, charged with robbing a trunk at Bald win's camp. Governor Stone has granted Birriolo, the Blossburg murderer, another res pite, fixing the date of execution for October 30th. '•A man in lovo setting up his brains as a guage of his position is as one de termining a ship's longitude from a light at the masthead." "If a man hoards riches and enjoys them not," says the Chicago News,"he is a fit companion for the donkey that dines on thistles when grass is plenty." Friday evening of this week at 7:30 o'clock, the literary department of the Epworth League will give an interest ing literary program. Everybody in vited. A huge rattlesnake was killed, a few days ago, near the residence of lion. O. W. Warner. The warm weather is driving the snakes to the streams for water. The Y. P. S. C. E. of the Baptist Church will serve supper, and ice cream and cake in the church parlors, Friday, July 20tli. Supper 25c. The public patronage is respctfully solicited. Our troops against the Chinese is like trying to dip a river dry with a tin-cup. No matter how many are killed their number seems to remain the same, and after a storm are many times multiplied. "Our prayers are limited by our knowledge, but they are answered out of the wisdom of Cod. For that reason they arc perhaps as often denied as granted, and in the denial the petition ers are most truly heard." About sixty or seventy-five workmen, consisting of masons and carpenters, are transforming the land on Freeman Run selected for the pulp and paper mill site, into a veritable scene of in dustrial activity and in a short time one will begin to see the great effects of the men's efforts. —Austin Republican. The President has acted in regard to China at exactly the right time. His declaration that no war is intended against that country although Ameri cans will be protected to the fullest ex tent, and that the United States will j endeavor to "maintain the territorial I and administrative entity" of the em j pire, joined with the dispatch of addi tional troops, shows to the world that | ho proposes to maintain American in j tercets despito greedy self-seekers ] abroad and cavilers at home. I An exchange hits the nail pretty near I the head when it says: It is the duty I of the country editor to lie -it's a fact. ! He is supposed to say a whole lot of | nice things about people who die—- j things that are not trur. In fact it is | his duty to outpuff a locomotive. As j long as ho lies he is all right and stands ' well in the community; but let him tell the truth -gee whiz! lie brings on a storm worao than a cyclone. The class of editors that tells the truth are dead— to the newspaper world. They are now earning an honest living on a farm, or running a buzz saw in some coffin manufactory.
