Official notices were posted on Nov. 2d of the inauguration of a pension system for the employes of the Penn sylvania lines. The new system will go into effect on January 1901. Em ployes aged 70 or more will be given the option of retiring from service on half pay. Another provision also stipulates that if an employe has been crippled in the service of the road he can retire at the age of 65 years. The system has been in vogue on the Pennsylvania railroad for some time, and as it has met with the approval of the employes it has J been decided to extend it over the en tire Pennsylvania lines. Lecture on China. Come all and hear a most interesting and instructive lecture on"China," on Friday evening of this week, (16th) at the Presbyterian Church, by Rev. R. M. Mateer, for about twenty years a missionary to the Celestial (?) Empire. Mr. Mateer is an authority on China, and an earnest speaker. He belongs to a quite famous missionary family. No charge for admittance. Card of Thanks. Mr. and Mrs. J. Bair and family wish to express their heartfelt thanks to the many friends who aided them during the sickness and death of their beloved son and brother. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1900. A Severe Burn. Last Monday morning, in the act of burning refuse papers, etc., Mrs. A. L. Hickok was severely burned. The clothing of the unfortunate lady caught fire and before it could be extinguished she sustained the injury above stated. This estimable lady, who is well along in years, has been terribly afflicted for several years past with nervous debil ity which perhaps accounts for her inability to get away from the flames in time to prevent them from igniting her clothing. Owing to her already nervous state the accident made a tre mendous impression upon her nerves, placing her at present in a critical con dition. Prompt medical aid was given her and kind friends spared no pains in administering to her wants in allevi ating her suffering. It is the hope of her friends, who are legion, that she may speedily recover. Sad Death. Last Friday Leo Bair, the eleven-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Bair of Fifth street, was taken sick at school, and an examination of the boy by Dr. Smith revealed the fact that the trouble , was scarlet fever. Every effort was made to bring the rash to the surface but without success, and the lad died Sunday evening. He was a bright boy and a general favorite with his playmates. The shock to the parents and family is intense, this being the first death in the large family. The afflicted ones have our sincerest sym pathy, as well as that of the entire community. The funeral was private, taking place from the family residence Tuesday morning, at 10 o'clock, Rev. Father Downey of St. Mark's Catholic Church officiating. Broke Jail. Last Thursday evening Frank Bur nell and Chas. Sacks, two of Sheriff Swope's boarders broke jail by digging through the wall into the boiler room, where they succeeded in springing the door and made good their escape. At this writing nothing has been heard of the fugitives. The other prisoners in custody refused to leave. Burnell was tried and convicted at the last term of court on the charge of larceny but received no sentence. This is his second attempt, being al most out before when discovered. Although we bt--lieve in bringing all evil doers to justice, we think the peo ple of Emporium and Cameron county generally, should congratulate them selves, on being so fortunate as to get rid of this individual. Recital The "Saturday Afternoon Club," gave its first monthly recital at the home of Mrs. F. T. Beers, Nov. 10th. The following program was rendered in a very creditable manner.

The remains of John Smith, better known as "Jack" Smith, who died last Thursday in the Austin Hospital, of typhoid fever, were brought to this place Friday and buried Saturday morning, the funeral services being held in St. Mark's Church at 9:30 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. Father Downey. Deceased was a brother of Larry Smith, of this place,and Mrs.P. Fitzpatrick, of Pittsburg. Interment was made in the Catholic cemetery. T. O. R. C. N. Seger. Can you read this paragraph. Mr. Underbill in"The Rivals." Read the following flattering testi monial of Mr. Underbill's powers as an impersonator and you can form some idea of the treat in store for those who hear him: "Many who have seen "The Rivals" as performed by the Jefferson company have remarked, after witnessing Mr. Underhill's condensation of the come dy, that one advantage he has over the company lies in the fact that here there is a star in every part, they can afford only a few for the leading roles. Nota small advantage by any means. So carefully has Mr. Underhill worked out all the details that one seems to see the very action suggested by the lines, and the living characters are all there doing their own talking and acting." "You go first and we will precede you"; "No delusions to the past, if you please, sir"; "I am completely analyz ed for my part"; "Caparisons are odor ous"; "Look at the letter, perhaps YOU may know the circumscription, sir," are a few of Mrs. Malaprop's "parts of speech," which occur in"The Rivals," to be impersonated by Mr. Underhill. Chart opens at H. S. Lloyd's Friday morning next, at 9 o'clock. Twenty-Seventh Congressional Dis trict Official Returns.

B.—Mrs. John Callahan, of Anderson township, yes terday had a terrific battle with an eagle which attempted to carry away her two year old child. She beat the eagle off with a club but it flew in her face, lacerating it pain fully. She finally felled the bird to the ground, grasped the child and fled to her house. The bird sailed away. The woman says the eagle was all of eight feet from tip to tip of its wings. Heard Him Sigh. "I have been sitting on the porch listening to the sighing of the wind," she said sentimentally by way of expla nation of her long abseuce from the house. "Yes, I heard him sigh," promptly putin the small boy. "Him? Who?" demanded the head of the household. "Why, that young fellow you always said was nothing but wind," answered the boy. And thus was the secret be trayed —Chicago Post N. Seger is one of the most popular and successful business men in Cam eron county, and his success and popu larity \s due to his strictly honest and unique methods of doing business. Go and see him. The pupils of the Music Class of Miss May Gould will give a recital at the home of Miss Gould on Saturday after noon of this week Miss Mazie Galla gher, violinist, will assist. These recitals will be continued each month, until early spring when a general re cital will be given by the class. BRIEF nENTION. , Frank Shives got a car load of West ern cattle, 27 head, last week. Yon can generally know when a woman has some great secret on her mind by the mysterious way she goes about to tell it.—Ex. A man is truly in love with his wife who offers to match some pale blue ribbon and two spools of sewing silk on his way down town. —Ex. A Tennessee woman recently killed her son by chopping his head with a hatchet because he smoked cigarettes. Another strong argument against the deadly habit. If the entire cost of spellbinding in curred by both parties were totalized, it would lead a person to come to the conclusion that talk is not so cheap after all.—Bradford Era. Mrs. J. E. Free, of Billings, Mont., daughter of W. F. Lloyd of this place, has a musical wonder in her little daughter, not yet three years old, who plays a cornet and violin. The official returns show the census of the United States for 1000 to 76,- 295,200—a gain of 13,225.464 during the last ten years. The population of Penn sylvania is 6,301,365—a gain of 1,043,- 351 since 1890. Emporium has been well supplied with entertainments the past few months—all of a high class—and they were without exception well patron ized. This is one of the greatest towns in the state for all kinds of good enter tainments. Franklin claims the distinction of having one of the youngest piano play ers in the world. Edwin Frank is the name of the prodigy and he is now only four years of age When only two years of age he developed a taste for music, which has classed him as a prodigy. A Kansas editor has discovered how to tell a man's politics when you meet him in a hotel washroom: "The Re publican will wash and empty the basin. The Democrat will wash and leave the water standing. The Populist will wash in the water left by the Democrat." This does not seem to accord with the widespread belief that the rural Pop. simply entered and combed his whisk ers and didn't wash at all. An exchange states that the Corn planter Indians of Pennsylvania desire to take in the Aboriginal display at the Pan American Exposition. The Corn planters are 85 strong, and they boast that while civilization has ruined near ly all the Eastern tribes, they still re tain the customs of their forefathers. Everybody, friend and enemy, knew that Matthew Stanley Quay was an ar dent political leader, but it remained for the present campaign to reveal him as a scholar and student, familiar with the classics and capable of literary pro ductions entitled to rank with the best of their class. His speeches through out the state, however, are doing that very thing.—Johnstown Tribune. According to our exchanges, two swindlers are abroad in the land sell ing towels and table linen. If they call on you hit them with the frying pan. The goods that they deliver are noth ing like the samples they display. In some instances they have received or ders amounting to as high as SSO, for which they give about $5 worth of cheap goods. An observing editor, after looking over the situation, concludes that some people goto church to weep, while others goto sleep. Some goto tell their woes, while others goto show their clothes. Some goto hear the preacher, others goto hear the solo screecher. Boys goto reconnoiter, girls go because they orter. Many go for some reflections, but mighty few to help collections. Speaking of the newspaper dead beat the Catawissa News-Item says: "We're not after our honest subscribers (al though we want them to pay up) but we are after the newspaper hogs—those fellows who beat their doctor, their merchant and their preacher, along with the printer. They beat everybody they can, whenever and whatever they can. In fact they beat the devil." Christmas packages for American soldiers serving abroad will be trans ported by the government free of charge from either San Francisco or New York. This was done last year, and proved popular. Those in charge of the army transports, however, say that senders of boxes should under stand that perishable articles, such as fruits and plum puddings, and fragile packages, such as preserves, should not be enclosed. The boats leave New York Nov. sth and from San Francisco Nov. Ist and 16th. TERMS: $2.00 — $1.50 IN ADVANCE. WEATHER REPORT. (Forecast by T. B. Lloyd.) FRIDAY. F»'r. SATURDAY, Fair.
