Our venerable and highly esteemed citizen and friend John Day, Sr, was a very agreeable PRESS caller last Fri day. We greatly enjoyed the cigar presented us by our good friend on the election of Senator Quay, not saying that the Squire is an admirer of the great stalwart war horse. We always enjoy his visits nevertheless and hope he may be spared many years to inspire the young from his storehouse of knowledge. Income From Electric Light. A rapid cavass of the Borough gives me a list of signatures of business men who agree to take collectively over 200 incandescent light equivalents, if same is sold at not more than 25c each per month. The canvass is by no means complete, and we are perfectly safe in estimating an income of $750.00 per year right from the start. Add to this $420.00, amount now paid for torches, and we have $1,170.00 per year without any increase in taxation. Now, the Westfield plant has two hundred and eight 2000 c. p. arc equivalents in use and it costs $2,500 per year to run the plant which is as will be noted about four times the capacity of the one pro posed here. Basing our figures on the experience of others, and using the most economical fuel our expenses ought not to run over SI,OOO per year. This leaves a surplus of $170.00 to ap ply on first cost, and so far from put ting a $7,000.00 mortgage on every house in town the taxation should not j be increased at the very outside more than one-fifth of one per cent, on as j sessed valuation. E. O. BARDWELL. Jan'y 22, 1901. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1901. L. O. T. n. Review. At a regular Review of Gladioli Hive, L. O. T.

The weather man certainly had his barometer in trim last week. He hit it to a dot. John Wanamaker says that Quay's election is none of his funeral. Tut, tut, Johnny. The rural free delivery to commence from Emporium Feb. Ist, covers an area of 49 square miles and serves 945 patrons. Howard Benham and a wealthy west ern widow were married last week and are at present enjoying their honey moon taking a western trip. It is claimed by a physician of Italy that the fumes of petroleum will cure whooping cough. He says the remedy is not pleasing, but efficacious. Geo. Taggart, while handling a re volver on Tuesday, discharged the weapon, the ball entering his right hip. No serious results apprehended. Be sure you read Geo. J. Laßar's new ad in this issue of the PUESS then go and see the great line of furni ture on display at this old and popular furniture house. Warren Mirror: In a proposed con gressional reapportionment bill which will probably be introduced into the Pennsylvania legislature the counties of Erie, Crawford and Warren, popula tion 201,062, are classed as district No. 31. If this bill becomesa law there will be but three reliable Democratic dis tricts in the State. Mercer, Venango, Forest, Cameron and Elk, population 168,015, are classed together as district No. 30. According to an exchange the love sick lads and lassies of the old Keystone State will be forced to find other fields for their runaway wedding trips than to New York, as the legislature of the Empire State has recently made a chage in the license law of that State. The enterprising clergymen who used to tie the knots for the couples will now miss some little revenues and the J. P's who used to add to their coffers will be forced to find other methods. The new law adopted by the Empire State is as strict and perhaps just a little more stringent than that of the Keystone State. Stops the Cough And Works off the Cold.

At the old reliable brick store, corner of Fourth and Chestnut streets, Empo rium, Pa. GEO. J. LABAR. 47 Ready-made clothing today is a boon to the public. In late years the manu facturers—of whom N. Seger buys— pay strict attention to style of cut and pattern, and for the making it could not be better; the only difference be tween these and tailor-made clothes is the price- you save about $lO on a suit when you buy of N. Seger. To the Tax-payers of Shippen Town- i ship. The undersigned hereby announces his name as candidate for supervisor of Shippen township in order to find out what becomes of the money that is as sessed to apply on the road funds, as I think there is sufficient taxes collected to put our township roads in good con dition. In my section there were no improvements made on the road last season and nobody called to work out his tax on the road. Truly, H. P. SPENCE Letter to L. Lockwood. Emporium, Pa. Dear Sir: James Ackley's house in Cairo (Catskill Mountains), N. Y., a conspicuous one in the midst of the village, was painted 14 years ago with Devoe; has not been painted since; and the paint is in good condition to-day. He is going to paint; hut there's really no necessity of it. Devoe has been sold in Cairo 18 years. Our agent is Gaston Wynkoop. House owners there want Devoe, and painters there paint Devoe. It would be a hard job to persuade a Cairo man to paint lead and oil—of course a painter paints whatever his customer wants, even if it's buttermilk. Marian Van Hoesen, a Cairo painter, has painted Devoe for 15 years. There are two or three others; all for Devoe, we are told—don't know their names. It's the same wherever Devoe gets into a town; it stays there and owns the whole business. Yours truly, 18 F. W. DEVOE & Co. Speaking of Newspapers. With a news gathering service sweep ing the world down to the last second, and with an editorial page the product of judgment, ability, force, discrimina tion and real humor, The Pittsburg Times is conspicuous as a daily news paper that is good reading always. It is safe to assert that there are more clippings of news events worth pre serving and of general information made from The Times than from any other paper published in Pittsburg. Like a good heme, it is tidy, cleau, comfortable, and with everything of the best one finds within its pages in formation, instruction, comfort and pleasure as he may desire. That it conducts no type founders' vaudeville of freak headlines makes it the pride of the printer's craft. It is not above re publishing from the humble country papers and with whatever it uses it in variably gives full credit. "The Wooden Indian", quaint in his philos ophy, has tomahawked to death many a tired, unhappy feeling. The serial story, of the best, is told in installments neither too close together nor too far apart. The editorials are written with sincerity, directness of expression, and reliability of information that make the page the daily text book of many a per son in life's school of facts. Giving other people the right of individual opinion it is never a scold nor a nagger. The Times, first and above all, is reli able. Its telegraphic service covers civilization. Its local newsis crisp and honest. Its financial and market re ports are accurate. The sporting world is covered in an attractive way. The social field is carefully and intelligent ly cultivated.

From the Dalian (Texas) News. If you are blue don't rub it on others. The milk of human kindness is some times as thin and eour as whey. Some great demonstrations are made largely as a means of making monoy. One is sometimes able to make a long story short by a mere shake of the head. Before you go forth to overthrow your enemies remember that all men are not built alike. One may not be responsible for the wrongs of others, and still be may have to par for them. We have been so kind to criminals that the kindness amounts in many cases to downright cruelty. By over generous treatment in the courthouses scores of men have been led to take their chances of acquittal and glory. No man can declare or guess just what the model newspaper of this cen tury is to be, either in mechanical makeup or in contents.
