The Star Course.
] The canvass for the sale of Course
tickets for the Peoples' Popular Star
! Course has >egun with the outlook
bright for u'timate success The min
imum is placed at 250 —thus the mag
nitude of the task imposed upon the
solicitors is made to appear and at the
same time the importance of every pos
sible subscriber becoming an actual
subscriber is emphasized. Some say I
will patronize such of the attractions as
appeal to me or as I find it convenient
to attend, but I will not engage to take
a Course ticket This would defeat the
effort utterly as the expense involved
is so great that no risk or uncertainties
can be run. Only a guaranteed list of
250 Course subscribers will warrant the
committee ingoing ahead. The matter
must be definitely determined within a
few days, whether to halt or proceed.
Hand your name to a member of the
committee.
Serious Accident Which Befell Rev.
W. P. Shriner.
The many friends of Rev. VV. P.
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."

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.

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.

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
