CHARITY.
: If I were a breeze of Nature's making,
I Freighted with coolness and scent and dew,
, I never would set the tall tree shaking,
! Or blow the meadows the summer through.
, But I'd leave the green, and for very pity,
j Would lift my burdens of dainty sceuts,
j And straightway fly to the crowded city,
J Among the heat of the tenements.
; And I'd find some poor, pale little child there,
| Who never had known the sea or ski' s,
i And I'd kiss her lips till I left a smile there,
j And another look in her tired eyts.
And I'd bring the breath of the gre.t waves
breaking,
j And odor of pines from the open plain,
| Till she would forget that her brow was aching,
j And lift her poor little head again.
i Now don't you think this the nicest way, dear,
! For a breeze to act beyond word or doubt?
I Because there is a moral tucked away here,
j If only your eyes could find it out.
| While you talk aboi't the summer girl,
j Or jeer the shirtwaist man,
I Why not an epic dictate
I To the simple "summer tan'.'"
| It frolics 'round the young girl's neck,
| Where ihe wind her tresses blows,
it circles up her pretty arm,
, And nestles on her nose.
Each dainty ear is kalsomined
j On a most artistic plan,
i And the summer girl is sweeter far
| Because of "Summer Tan.''
—Buffalo Times.
flan About Town.
It is a sad fact that many of the
■ young men of our beautiful little town
j are spending the most of their money
| at saloons.
Do you not know young men, and
laboring men, that intemperance cuts
j down youth in its vigor, manhood in
j its strength and age in its weakness?
j It breaks the fathers' heart, bereaves
j the doting mother, extinguishes nat-
I ural affections, blots out filial attach
ments, blights parental hope, and
brings down morning age in sorrow to
the grave.
It produces weakness, not strength,
sickness, not health, death, not life.
It makes wives widows, children or
; phans, fathers fiends, and all of them
i paupers and beggars.
It does all of this and much more.
Young man remember you are now
gathering the material for manhood.
Therefore touch not, taste not the ac
cursed thing. The benefits are im
j mense: Money saved, happiness saved,
I character saved. ZIPP.

"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß.
EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13,1900.
Improvement Awards.
! Every man, woman and child should
i feel an interest in his country, his
State, his town, his village, his home
and should seek to make it prosperous
and beautiful. Let every home be
more beautiful and prosperous, and the
prosperity of the nation is assured. It
is the clean, neat village that bids high
to the worthy man or family seeking a
place of permanent domicile. It is the
pretty cottage in that neat village sur
rounded with flowers, bordering a
shaven green lawn, that soonest re
ceives their attention and opens most
freely their purses. The tidy home is
one of the strongest inducements to
live pure lives and to make that home
a place where all its members, old and
young delight to spend all the time
they can, and from which flows an in
cessant stream of usefulness. It is not
the flowers alone that attracts atten
tion in such a home, but invariably
you will find a patch of vegetable fruits
in large or small as space and means
allow from which many inviting plates
have been gathered to make glad the
palate for which the beautiful bouquet
has prepared it. Everything that tends
to produce this result is worthy of our
approval. Last spring prizes were of
fered for the purpose of inducing the
people to give more attention to beau
tifying their home, their gardens, or
their surroundings generally and mak
ing them more useful and profitable to
themselves and through them to the
community and the world at large.
Two prizes were offered in each
ward—one of £3.00 and one of $5.00
conditioned that the contestants in each
ward must make known their inten
tion to contest. The contestants were,
East ward, T. Hacket, It. Hacket, B.
Leutze and \V. Lyons; Middle ward,
White, Snyder, Lind, Olson and Gau
dis; West ward, Narby, Ritchie. Lud
lum, Kaye and Metzger. The judges
were to award prizes, (not for absolute
excellence), but for most improvement,
and general appearance as well as
special features, such as flowers, vines,
vegetables, gardens, &c. The judges
find as follows:
Kast ward, Ist prize, Mrs. T. N'. Hacket, $5.00
Kast ward, 2d prize, Mrs. Wm. Lyons, 3.00
Middle ward, Ist prize, Mrs. .1. M. Olson 5.00
Middle ward, 2d prize, Mrs. W. 1). White, . 3.00
West ward, Ist prize, Mis. .John Narby, 5.00
West ward, 2d prize, Mrs. G. Metzger, Jr., .. 3.00
The judges in looking over the vil
lage find many places where much has
been done by way of improvement,
which in their opinion deserves espe
cial mention, where it is not in their
province to award a prize, viz: Mrs. R.
Seger, flower garden, front yard, Mrs.
J. Barner, flower garden, front yard,
and Miss Raymond, lawn and vines.
They further recommend a prize of
§I.OO each to Mrs. Snyder, Middle ward,
and Mrs. Ludlum, West ward, for their
effort.

A Beauty—Young Ladies to Enter
the Contest.
There has for some time been a de
mand for a good souvenir spoon of
Cameron County. To meet this de
mand Mr. Geo. Metzger, Jr., recently
designed a spoon embodying the State
coat of arms or seal, a picture of Wm.
Penn, the letter "P" on a keystone and
the balance of Pennsylvania running
down to a gold bowl where is a hand
engraved picture of the Court House.
Mr. Metzger has made over to the
Chairman of the Committee on the
Court House clock—the exclusive right
to sell these spoons for a limited period,
in order to raise a fund to buy the
clock. Each purchaser of a spoon will
not only secure an unusually beautiful
souvenir, but will have a silver and
gold pledge that he contributed to
wards getting the Court House Clock.
A very handsome ring will be given
to the young lady who will sell the
largest number of these spoons, and
the names of all the young ladies who
enter the contest will be published with
honor.
All those desiring to enter the con
test are requested to apply to Mrs. M
Mersereau Newton within two weeks.
Show your pubblic spirit and enter
prise, young ladies, by helping to for
ward a movement of public benefit.

HAPPILY MARRIED.
The Auchu Bair Nuptials Solemnized
at St. Mark's Church.
A VERY PRETTY CEREMONY.
Handsome Decorations in Church and
Residence—Fashionable Event.
At 9 o'clocck yesterday morning the
social event of the season took place
at St. Mark's Church—the wedding of
Miss HATTIE MAE AUCIIU to MR.
WILLIAM G. BAIR.
Promptly at the appointed hour the
large edifice was well filled with the
invited guests of the bride, groom and
family, when the organ pealed forth
the wedding march, with Mrs. W. H.
Howard presiding.
The ushers were Mr. William A. Au
chu, Mr. Chas. Auchu, Mr. Geo. D.
Hilliard, Mr. Frank D. Bair. The
bride's maids were Miss Encie Howard,
Miss Rosa Bair, Miss Nellie Lingle,
Miss Rosa Ritchie. The maid of honor
was Miss Edna E. Auchu, sister of the
bride, and Mr. John Drippold, of St.
Marys, was the best man.
The bridal party entered the Church,
taking their places in front of the altar,
when the groom, accompanied by his
best man, entered from the vestry
room, when the beautiful and impres
sive service was proceeded with that
made the happy young people man and
wife. After the celebration of High
Mass the wedding party were driven
to the residence of the bride's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Auchu, where the
wedding breakfast was enjoyed.
The wedding was pink and white
china aster, both the church and
residence being decorated beautifully
in (link and white. The bride's maids
were handsomely gowned in pink
mousseline de soie. The fair bride was
charming in her gown of liberty satin
over taffeta silk en train, antique l ice
trimmings. The groom, best man and
ushers wore the usual conventional
suits.
The reception tendered the relatives
and near friends at the residence of
the bride was a jolly occasion. At the
conclusion of the wedding breakfast
the bride carried a decorated basket
filled with bon-bon boxes of wedding
cake and presented her compliments
to her friends. An orchestra furnished
music and dancing was enjoyed.
The presents were very numerous
and the most beautiful and valuable
ever bestowed upon an Emporium
bride.
Mr. and Mrs. Bair departed on Erie
mail for eastern points on an extended
tour. Of course their friends saw to it
that their baggage was properly
checked and labelled—one trunk com
ing under our observation being ap
propriately lettered, "Just married,"
"An artist out after snap shots," with
a picture of a bear in the centre.
The following out of town relatives
and friends attended tiie wedding:
Mrs. Jennie Rigelrnan, (sister to
bride), Williamsport; Mrs. J. W. Weis
man, (sister to groom), Olean, N. Y.;
Dr. E. A. Bair, Miss Lillian Donahue,
Buffalo, N. Y.; Mr. John Dippold, Miss
Dippold, St Marys, Pa.; Mrs. J. B.
Schriever, Seranton, Pa.
Returns From the West.
Miss Maggie McDonald, daughter of
our townsman Mr. and Mrs. A. A.
McDonald, has returned from Kansas
where she has resided the past two
years. Miss Maggie is well posted
on the affairs of the west, and the
whole country for that matter, and no
doubt will be glad to inform her lady
friends how it seems to vote, having
availed herself of that priviledge dur
ing her residence there. It is needless
I to add that Angus will not have much
to say about politics when his daugh-
I ter i3 about, and keeps mum.
The Borough Schools.
Our Borough schools opened last
Monday morning with a full attend
ance of pupils, there being almost six
hundred on the rolls. Prof. Bastian,
the new principal, hopes to have eve
rything in good running order within
a few days.
Notice to Water Consumers.
The Board of Health recommends
that all water used for drinking be
boiled. As one of the most frequent
causes of typhoid fever is impure
drinking water, the observance of the
above recommendation may prevent
an outbreak of that disease.
ALBRA W. BAKER,
Health Officer.
Rnral Free Delivery.
The postoffice department will in the
near future report upon the feasibility
of extending the free mail delivery to
Shippen and Portage townships. Con
gressman Sibley will give the matter
his cordial support and our readers can
rest assured he will leave no stone un
turned to accomplish the desire of our
citizens.
Cause of Death.
Two weeks ago the PRESS was pain
ed to announce the sudden death of
little Miss Ida McDonald, at Glen Ne
vis, Ont. The cause of her death was
not given her sister, Mrs. Alex. Mc
donnell, of Emporium.
From the Elexandria Glendarian we
note her death was caused by fire.
While working about a stove at her
brother's residence her clothing caught
fire severely burning the young lady,
who died within a few hours, more
from the shock than the burns.
A Shameful Canvass.
How much money does it require to
elect to Congress a candidate whose
platform is opposition to the use of
money in elections? says the Franklin
News. One of Emery's Bradford busi
ness associates offered to donate §25,000
to start a small purse for sucli expenses
as a reformer could conscientiously and
lawfully use for that purpose and it is
reported that each of nine others ex
pected to do the same. That is an
even quarter of a million, which will
do for a starter. It is ten dollars for
each voter and yet Mr. Emery allows
his managers to send this begging cir
cular over every state and territory,
crying out like a horse leech, Give!
Give! If Mr. Emery and his gang of
character assassins are not sowing
dragon's teeth on their own pathway
what kind of people are the voters of
this district? Every man in the district
knows J. C. Sibley personally or by
reputation, and most of them person
ally, and if Lewis Emery were to meet
nine out often of them and repeat the
slanders that he publishes in his paper
he would be branded as a liar to his
face. Association with honorable gen
tlemen is what Emery needs, but it
would have been more efficacious if it
had come in his earlier years, before he
acquired a taste for politics and an apt
ness for the language and habits of
the slums The election of a Congress
man ought to be decided on political
principles. Moral character ought to
be looked after at the primaries, as it
was by the Republicans when Mr. Sib
ley was nominated, but Mr. Emery and
his supporters, from the very beginning
of the (irst mention of his name up to
the present time, have given no reason
for his candidacy except the blackness
of Sibley's character, and the immacu
late character of Lewis Emery, repre
sented to be so pure that there is real
danger of his making a premature
ascension.
Coward.
The Bradford Post which is support
ing Mr. Emery, in its issuo of last Sun
day gives its version of the challenge
given by Sibley to Emery at the Coop- 1
erstowu Harvest Home and says of Mr.
Sibley:
"He launched forth into a wordy
challenge for a debate at the Utiea
Harvest Home. Hon. J. W. Lee, who
was the next speaker, declined the
challenge for Mr. Emery but added
that the latter would gladly meet Sibley
on the platform at the proper time and
place."
This was an acceptance of Mr. Sib
| ley's challenge modified as to time and
l place. Later, viz: Aug. 29, Mr. Sibley
| by letter renewed his challenge to joint
| discussions but up to this time has not
received a reply, it is about time Mr.
i Emery would come out of his small
hole and say whether he will come to
the scratch or Hunk out. The proper
i time and place can easily be arranged,
! but the time is short. The proper time
i is previous to election and the proper
' place is in this district. Probably Mr.
j Emery has heard of the Irishman who
was about to be hanged by the mob.
When asked what, kind of a tree he
! would like to bo hanged on said, "A
currant bush." When told that it would
| be too small, he said he was willing to
wait till it grew. Emery wants to meet
■ Sibley on the platform about the time
i the currant bush would be a tree and
l not a minute sooner.—Bradford Star.
