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 matter in hand. The ladies of the :

! E. Church, will make the canvass for
j the sale of course tickets and upon the j
I encouragement they receive will de

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. People will be asked
| to subscribe for the number of tickets
; they will take and the money need not
j be paid over before the delivery of the
j tickets about two weeks before the first
attraction which will likely be in No
j vember. 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.

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.

Obituary.

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

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.

Increase Home Dividends.
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
