LLOYD. i From Across the Pond, i i Letter from Mrs. William Howard, of Williams- I porf, Pa., Written from England, to Mrs. j Joaiah Howard, of Emporium. r j DEAR LAURA:— It is three monthnto- c day (July 12th, 1900) since we said ' | good-bye, you to return to your home r and friends and I togo amongst * strangers and it has been so with me, F with two exceptions. We saw Mr. ' and Mrs. Hinkle, in Philadelphia. We are stopping with Mr. and Mrs. Sykes, of Huddersfield. They are very pleasant and have made some trips with us. • I will teli you where we have been but will not attempt to describe the i places and scenery, for I could not do them justice. I can say they are grand j We take in the most noted places, j ; Have been through Scotland, Ireland, j Holland, Belgium and up the Rhine, j The trip up the Rhine ia interesting | and lovely. You see so many old Ca- ! 1 j thedrals and Museums, some dating j I l back to the 11th century. . I We goto London to-morrow then to ' t j Paris and will return to England i t about the first of August, then finish i i | here. That will take the first week in < August, then we will say good-bye to ' : this part of England and go back to j ■ London and wait for the boat. We I , : expect to sail on the 23rd of August j and if we have good luck we will reach j New York the 3rd or 4th of September. \ s We are to sail on the "Minneapolis." \ ' She lands at pier 39 or 40. I shall be j ' ! very, very glad to see the shores of i ' ' America. I am very tired of going j ( so much and living in trunks. I ought ! ! not to complain for I have beea very j 1 { well, although the weather has been j ' rather cold and more rainy than usual ly so. Mr. Howard has had two sick 1 | spells and had to call the doctor. ; Mr. Howard seems very happy to meet his old friends and they seem |to be very glad to see him. I think he j ; will be just as glad to get home. I ] have not heard him say that he was in t I any hurry, only the other morning when he was dressing he said, "I wish j I was at home." ; Tell Mrs. Geo. Howard I passed the j house where George was raised. Ada !is well and has a nice time. She is ! delighted with all she sees and hears. I will mail this letter in Paris so you ! will have a Paris stamp. A. E. H. The Star Course. \ The following five attractions will constitute the People's Popular Star Course to be given in Emporium the | coming Winter if public approval and i patronage is accorded the project: j 1 Ariel Ladies Sextette.

Underhill, Dramatic, J Reader. i The above comprise some of the best j talent in the lyeeum business to-day I j and to bring them here entails a big i expense upon the committee having 1 ! the matter in hand. The ladies of the : I Interest Paying Society of the First M. ! E. Church, will make the canvass for j the sale of course tickets and upon the j I encouragement they receive will de i pend the success of the undertaking. ! j The price of ihe course tickets is placed i at§l 50 for the five entertainments with 1 | no extra charge for reserve seats. | The entertainments will be held in j the courthouse, the use of its hand-j ! some auditorium having been secured j for the purpose.

Attractions will then follow | one each month. Let the matter re- ; | oeive the consideration it merits and j let the ladies have your practical co j operation. 3 —.— j Both saw mills are again in opera tion, logs having been gotten in suffi- j cient to keep them in operation until snow flies. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 2.1900. Important Railroad Matter. Yesterday several changes took place on P. &E.R. R. Mr. E. D. Gardner returns to his old position as chief of operators, while owen McCarthy of Ridgway, takes the position of train master. T. V. Mulligan goes to Ridg way, where he takes Mr. McCarthy's position as assistant train master. Prominent Visitors. Mr. W. M.

NELSON—At Wilcox, Pa., July 24th, 1900, GRANT ARTHUR, and Alice Mary Nelson, of Emporium. The remains of the child were brought to Emporium last Wednesday, the interment taking place on Thurs day, at two p. m., from t he family resi dence on East Sixth Street—Rev. Mc- Caslin officiating. Mr. and Mrs. Nel son are among our most respected citi zens and their many friends deeply sympathize with them in their sad af fliction. The many floral offerings were an expression of sympathy, speaking louder than words. Emporium a Railroad Centre. The double tracking of the Philadel phia and Erie railroad, in progress be tween Jersey Shore and Aughenbaugh is fast nearing completion. It is un derstood that in a very short time double tracks will be laid down from Lock Haven to Emporium. This lat ter place is distined to be a great rail road centre within the next year, as it will bo the centering point of Western New York & Pennsylvania, Allegheny Valley and the Red Bank route and necessitate the building there of ex , tensive railroad shops and round houses for the accommodation of ex change engines and repair engines and cars.—Williamsport Sun. New Rule in Bankruptcy. Judge Buflington in the United States district court at Pittsburg decided yes terday that a person who permits judg ment to be entered and issued upon, without taking any stops to have them I vacated or discharged, commits an act of bankruptcy and art involuntary pe i tition against him can be maintained. | This is a new and important rule in | bankruptcy matters. The opinion was ; rendered in the bankruptcy case of ; Mrs. Rose Thomas, of Mercer county. While the question was never squarely raised before, the general rule followed | has been that the insolvent must in i some manner procure or aid in pro : curing the judgment against himself to ! be rated as a bankrupt. In this ease Mrs. Thomas simply allowed the judg | ments to be taken and did not try to have them vacated or stay executions, j The court reverses the commissioner i who reported that the petition in bankruptcy should be dismissed, and orders an adjudication. Card of Thanks. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Nelson take this method of returning their thanks to those kind and sympathetic friends and ; neighbors for their many manifesta tions of sympathy expressed during out late affliction, when we were called upon to part with our only son. M. A. Rockwell is making important improvements in her drug store and among the most important is a large cooling fan. A UNIQUE REPORT. —— ' What Our Young Ladies Gleaned as the Result of Their Visit to Eagles A1 ere Chautauqua Summer School Junior Work. Eagles Mere Primary and Junior Workers Summer Sunday School, opened Wednesday, July 18, at 9:30, in auditorium. One hundred enrolled, from all sections of the State. After the welcome, the first address, "Phil osophy of Grading," by Dr. Chas. Roads -every Sunday School, no mat ter how large or how small may divide its scholars into departments to accom plish better work. This has been proven as essential in the Public schools, j Characteristics of the child are: All j faith, frankness, earnestness, sincerity, j dependence. First, the Cradle Roll, babies up to three years. Second class of grade I: Little Folks, from three to six years of age. Third class in grade I: Primary, from six to eight years. Junior department for boys and girls, from eight to thirteen; their character istics are, intense activity, unconscious ness, memory age, growing independ ence, eager curiosity. The intermedi ate, from twelve to sixteen years; characteristics of youth are, ambition, self consciousness, companionship questioning, self dependence. Fourth grade, all above sixteen years. The teachers should then be prepared to discuss the peculiar problems of their department, to learn how to adapt the lesson to their erade, to cultivate clos est fellowship. Then briefly, he gave us an outline of the Bible, as we have already taken up the work in the Jun ior E.it will not be necessary to enumerate in. The Bible is a complete library in itself, studying it in the out lined form gives the child better in sight to its teaching. Every thoughtful S. S. teacher recognizes his need of preparation, the more devoted he is to his work the deeper is the realization of his need, lie feels that ho is called upon to teach lessons from a book of which he is ignorant and to work in that institution, first, in order to teach a Bible lesson, he must be acquainted with the Bible as a book, its origin, its authority, its history, its lands, its bi ography, its institutions, its manners, and its customs, its general principles of doctrine, and more than all, he must possess a long experience of its ener gizing spirit. '•Revised Normal Lessons," by Jesse Lyman liurlbut, was recommended as excellent to prepare for instructive teaching. The next subject was an address by Dr. Lightner Witrner, whom we have all met and listened to with great pleas ure deeming his work as noble and essential to completeness of education. The subject was "Mental Growth and Moral conduct." The body responds to the mind, showing the great care that should be taken to train the morals and also to train the mind when plastic. The following morning his theme was: "Children's Lies, their Intellectual and Moral Significance." The most forcible point was that many lies were made by the question asked rather than the re ceiver, therefore we should be cautious in asking a child so that he will not be tempted to tell an untruth. A child naturally speaks the truth as an adult. The third address: "Emotional Characteristics of the Adolescent Youth." The child is constantly changing and we should watch and study these different periods, so that we may give intelligent sympathy. Surely when the object comes to be none other than that of a soul's salva tion and future usefulness in the church, the teachers need most thorough pre paration for the work. We are not sufficient in our own strength but rely upon God for help. The Junior and Primary section of the Round Table, we considered the most instructive and beneficial part of the entire programme. We regret that all teachers were not present. Each had the privilege of asking and receiving information upon questions prepared daily, a list of which you will find inclosed. Explanations in the primary depart ment by Mrs. Barnes and Miss Baldwin, both successful teachers in large graded schools. The Junior work by Mrs. Kennedy, a dear old lady whose very presence inspired the soul to better work. Unfortunately this was at the Bameliourasthe primary work, making it impossible to attend. She advocates the daily use of the Bible for EVERY pupil, regular church attendance, prin ciples of illustration, word painting, object lessons, Bible story telling, one illustration, "The Lost Sheep," in a pathetic, sweet and simple manner she related this wonderful and precious story, making it plain and easy for the infantile mind to grasp. Benevolence. A systematic form of giving was decided by all as the only means to obtain successful results, as we have already found this necessary in our church work. Dr. Pearson the music instructor outlined his work in a pleasing and interesting manner. The cause of criticism is because we fail to understand the motive of song. Music is the expression of the soul, and without it the world or universe would be devoid of its most sublime art. A pleasure to the young and old. The songs with their rich melodies and words that voice the sentiment of our better natures, we seemed to be drawn closer to the one purpose ot united love for work. The "Sketch Work" by Miss Darnell was pleasing to those interested in art drawing and illustrating Bible pictures j making the lesson simple and easily holding the attention of the younger ones. It seems impossible for us to make a report that would impart the knowledge that we have received. Many things during the entire week we cannot even touch upon. Every thing led to the one main thought: More enthusiasm and unity of teachers and pupils. The instructors were the best, having devoted years to their work. They seemed to be permeated with love for furthering the progress in this noble work. We should all strive to improve in the coining year.

How to increase home dividends, should enlist the active interest, not only of our business men, but of every man, woman and child of our corrmu nity. That they may be largely and immediately increased is to my mind, beyond question. In undertaking to point out the way, let me say in the first place I have no copyrighted plan to suggest, no new-fangled theory to propose by which we may get some thing for nothing. The age of miracles has passed. Therefore, I speak not of the dividends that are drawn annually or semi-annually and that are limited in amount to six, eight or ten percent. Neither do 1 refer to the dividends that goes to the family that has one or more of those Homo Savings banks, which starts a bank account, and helps a man to hold his head up. But I speak of dividends that are in finitely greater, incomparably better than all these—dividends that may be drawn monthly, weekly, daily, every | where and all the time —unlimited in amount and unmeasured in value. They are dividends of steady nerves, good appetites, sound sleep; dividends of good digestion, healthy bodies, long lives; dividends of clear consciences, good natures, congenial fellowship, so cial pleasures, domestic joys. These dividends are within the reach of every man and if lie is not drawing them it is his own fault; if he is not enjoying | them he is not half way living up to j his privileges and opportunities, not | fulfilling his mission in life and is ! trampling a most solemn duty under I his feet. How wise and how happy is j the man who takes a broad view of j lite; who pauses in the journey to ! gather some of the flowers and pluck | some of its fruits; who finds cooling | shades, refreshing springs, congenial ' companions and pleasures innumerable ; all the way. It will bring more amia l bility into his life, more sunshine into j his home, and more happiness into his i heart as the days go by—dividends unalloyed in good measure, pressed down, and shaken together and run ning o v or. —E xcha nge.
