Shriner, pastor of the Methodist church, will be sorry to learn of the serious ac cident which befell him last evening. He had been calling on one of his par ishoners and was coming down Lamb Street about nine o'clock on his bicycle. When opposite the residence cf Gov. Hastings the wheel got away from him and he took a header landing 011 the hard road and sustaining severe bruises. There was a gash across his forehead that took eight stitches to sew up. His right arm and right side were also cut and badly bruised. The reverend gen tleman is reported to-day as resting easily and no serious results are antici pated. He had expected togo to Snow Shoe today to assist in the laying of the corner stone of the new Methodist church at that place, but was compelled to cancel the engagement owing to his mishap. There will be no preaching services in the Methodist church Sun day either morning or evening —Belle fonte Daily News. Wheeler Wants Big Army. Brigadier General Joseph Wheeler made a plea for a large standing army in his address before the students of the Chicago University. He declared the only security for peace was to be al ways prepared for war. General Wheeler's topic was "Our Pacific Possessions." He briefly traced the history and development of the is lands recently acquired by the United States, and gave the results of his own observations as to the resources and possibilities of our new dependencies. He said the destiny of the human race was to be guided in the future largely by the government of the United States. "My observations among the Fili pinos and those of China forcibly im pressed upon me the importance of all institutions of learning devoting a full : measure of effort to installing a spirit of chivalry and patriotic devotion. It was to keep that spirit fresh and strong that Alabama enacted a law that the national flag should float over every school house in the state. "We are now a great world power, and the destiny of the human race is in the future to be largely guided by the influence exerted by this govern ment. This should be impressed upon the rising generation, and the memory of the flag of our country floating over the school house and songs breathing patriotic devotion within its walls i-bould indelibly be connected with the first impressions of the youth of our 1 land." "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."—WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 16.1900. Emporium Wins. The Northwestern Firemen's Asso ciation now in session at this place voted last evening unanimously in favor of Emporium as the next meet ing place for 1901. North East was the only competitor but promptly with drew in favor of Emporium. The Em porium delegates and the committee sent to Kane by the department are feeling good to-night, yet fully realize the great task before Emporium. That Emporium will ably maintain its past reputation none will dispute. At the banquet last evening all the speakers expressed themselves pleased with the choice of Emporium. Every citizen of Emporium should put on his thinking cap and keep it on until after the Convention of 1901 has been declared a great success. H. H. M. Kane, Pa., Aug. IG, 1900. Pennsy Has Important Improvemnets Under Advisement. In line with the general policy of ex pansion and progressiveness of the present management, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has under advise ment important improvements on the Western New York & Pennsylvania part of the new grand division between Pittsburg and Buffalo. Grades are to be reduced, curves eliminated or modi fled, heavier steel rails laid, bridges strengthened, and a number rebuilt, and one erected, the intention being to make improvements that will permit of faster time between Buffalo and Phila delphia. The effect of this will be to enable the people of Buffalo to finally realize the brilliant expectations that were held out in this respect when the line was first projected years ago, as the Buffalo & Washington, and ran only to Arcade. When later it was extended to Olean, and then to Emporium, it was supposed that the original idea would be carried out, but, while the Philadelphia service was established, it was not what had been anticipated, a fact chiefly due, possibly, to the relation of the Penn sylvania with the New York Central, by which its Philadelphia and Wash ington traffic from Buffalo was routed over the New York Central to its con nection witli that road at Canandaigua. With the purchase of the Western New York & Pennsylvania the condi tions have been changed, and, in mak ing provision for a better service to Philadelphia over the Western New \ ork & Pennsylvania, the Pennsylva nia is serving its own interests and establishing sharper competition with the Lehigh Valley. Naturally, with the opportunity pre sented the Pennsylvania will become a stronger factor' in the competition for lake traffic to Buffalo than it has ever been Its intentions in this regard were clearly indicated when it obtained sole control of the Anchor Line of steamers while negotiations for the W ostern New York & Pennsylvania were pending. Firemen's Convention. The Em pori u m fire department turned out in large numbers to attend the Kane meeting of the Northwestern Association to-day. A special train passed through here at 8:30 this morn ing, but the majority of our boys had left on the flyer. Our department is represented by the following delegates: Rescue, John Cummings; Mountaineer, Geo. A. Walker, Jr.; Citizens, David W heaton; Hamilton, Wm. Robinson. The boys expect a big time to-day. Rapidly Failing. Our readers, especially those living in this county, will regret to learn that Reuben W. Collins, of Driftwood, who has been an invalid for several years, is rapidly failing and his death is ex pected at any moment. Hoonlight Dance. A delightful moonlight dance was given in Wiley's Grove, last Tuesday evening to a large number of friends j by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. P. Jones, Miss j Jettie Wiley and Mr. Chas. Wiley. i One of the Finest. Parker Jackson leaves to-day on his ! annual vacation. Parker is so well known by the traveling public that his annual tours are full of fun. He will take in Olean first and meet only the swell people and assist in the cake walk. Leg Broken. W. H. Hower while sawing logs on I one of Howard & Company's jobs last 1 Monday had the misfortune to break his left leg below the knee. He was i brought to the Commercial Hotel, in I this place, where Dr. S. S. Smith is at ! tending him. Mr. Hower is improving and resting easy, being kindly cared for by his partner J. P. Johnson. As Others See It. On November 6th Sibley will bo short on the returns. Sunday was a hot day, the thermometer registering three hundred in the shade. These two items were taken from the only paper representing the Fusionists in the little county of Cameron. One can place about as much reliance in one of the articles as the other. Pay your money and take your choice. Haeket of the Independent says that every Democrat and three hundred Republicans of Cameron county are going to vote for Emery. Hacket is visionary and I wouldnt be a bit sur prised if he ad gone wrong about fifty per cent on the question ofDemocratic voting and about eighty per cent, on the regubliean vote.—Port Allegany Reporter. Right you are Mr. Reporter. The "Little Joker" of the Independent was only getting of! one of his annual yarns. It does the little fellow so much good and no one notices it. Talking Through Their Hat. The Emporium Independent of this week, says: The Democrats will elect this fall, a President and Vice Presi dent, and in this district a Congress man, a Representative in the General Assembly and a Prothonotary. This will be a light task and we have money or. the result. Come now" How do the Republicans of Cameron county, particularly those who propose to help elect a Democratic Congressman, a Democratic Representative in the General Assembly and a Democratic Prothonotary, enjoy that kind of boast ing three months before the election ? Is it not conclusive evidence that the Democrats of the district look upon Lewis Emery, Jr., as a Democrat? Are men who support the tickets named in Cameron county any longer Republicans? We think not.—Kane Republican. The political editor of the Independent after consulting a few disgruntled politicians, known as the Insurgent-Bryan clique and filled with bright promises for the voters to be fooled with—the identical same gold bricks they gave gullible ones two years ago—proceeded forthwith shoot off his gun. Of course the clique have the money to put up on the re sult in this county this fall, in addi tion to that given them two years ago, but the voters and none but them selves, will get it. The citizens of this county take no stock in this great clan of reformers (?) and propose having something to say about the election this fall. You can bank on it that Cameron will give the entire Re publican ticket the largest majority in the history of this county. The wage earners of Cameron are contented with their situation and the prosper ous condition of the country and will take the only sure course—vote the en tire Republican ticket. Malcontents will have no force here. Died. John, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Heindel, died Tuesday night of cholera infantum, aged ten months. The funeral will be held this afternoon at two o'clock from St. Mark's church. Mr. and Mrs. Heindel have the sympa thy of the community in their great bereavement. Subscribe for the PRESS; only §1.50 a year in advance. Those Dividends. A writer in last week's PRESS wants to know how to acquire dividends "un measured in value." It is emphatic ally true that "no man liveth unto himself." He could not if he would; for every life inflames some other life for good or ill. In these days all the strength of the body and the energies of the mind and the yearning of the soul are consentrated on theoneobject —riches. And if it is his intention, after he gets all he wants or can get, to "eat, drink and be merry,'' or to be a sincere Christian, based upon the prin ciples that controled the life of Christ, who "came not to be ministered unto, but to minister," violates the laws of nature. How much of the real essence of life is there left for one to enjoy, to make merry or to minister unto, after life is spent and when the senses are no longer responsive, and the body a physical wreck? We are already a nation of dyspep tics, known and accepted as such the world over, and every thinking man knows the reason why. It is because of the break-neck speed, the nerve racking, health-destroying pace we are making in the affairs of this life. Thousands of men are too busy to take a vacation; can't leave of!' business for a month, a week, a day. Some men don't take time to eat more than one square meal a day, and that at the wrong end of the day, and eaten in such violent haste and with so little regard for the laws of health that the digestive organs are sure to suffer and the family physician's pocket-book is sure to grow round and fat, as a conse quence. The system can stand this nervous tension, this reckless abuse for a while, but as sure as nature's laws are true the break-down will come sooner or later, and the man who is too busy to take a rest, who will thus abuse his body and overtax his strength and neglect his health will take a vacation by and by, and when he does he will leave his home to fall headlong into a hole in the ground, "six feet due east and west and six feet perpendicular," long before his allotted time. Being unmindful of the pleasures and com forts by the way; unheeding the dan ger signals here and there, and with contracted ideas, and narrow views and singleness of purpose, life is made one mad scramble, almost from the cradle to the grave. If human happiness could be meas ured in dollars and cents; if alpha and omega of human existence could be i summed up in the word "wealth" then j there would be some excuse for this I mad scramble in which men engage. But we are told in the old book, writ- ! ten some nineteen hundred years ago, I that "a man's life consisteth not in the ! abundance of the things which he j hath." Coupled with the modern method of trying to crowd the whole of life into as few years as possible, men have an other way of adding to their burdens and curtailing their pleasures—a habit which is more potent for evil, far more reaching and destructive in its effects on the system than is the bolting of half masticated food or the overtaxing of the vital forces. It is the miserable habit of worry, so interwoven with the fast and furious methods—the hammer and tongs style of business—we prac tice in this country and in these de generate days. Men worry over little things and big things, over things past, things present and things to come; over things real and things imaginary; worry by day and by night; worry in the place of business and on the street, and last of all and meanest of all is the worry at home among the family. Worry ruins the digestion, shatters the nerves, spoils the temper, brings headaches, causes insomnia, whitens the hair and furrows the brow, and breaks down the system generally. It makes one .a burden to his family, his friends and the community. The little time we spend at home belongs to our families. It is their's by right and we j should give it all to them. We will I feel better for it, our appetite will be | better and our sleep sounder. Variety is the very spice of life. A I wholesome admixture of temper with our activities, of rest with labor, of recreation with toil, of pleasure with business, of health sense with business sense, will bring dividends without number, lengthen out our days, and heighten all our joys, "it will bring more amiability into our lives, more j sunshine into our homes, and more 1 happiness into our hearts as the days go by—dividends unalloyed in good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over."—Ex- j change.
