One of the strongest organizations

They will present the popular drama,
"David Garriek." The troupe consists
of twelve performers, some imperson
ating lady characters, and eight mem

The State College Thespians will
present their popular drama, "David

day night. The proceeds of this per
formance are for the benefit of the
Firemen's convention to be held here
next August, and the committee has
placed the admission fee so low that
every citizen, boy and girl, should be
in attendance. It will certainly be the
treat of the season. 25 cts. Reserved
seats 35 cents.
Use?
A writer in an exchange, though tak
ing a somewhat pessimistic view of
things, nevertheless hits the bull's eye
j when he says this is an age of hustle,
| bustle and sweat. A man hustles from
j early dawn until the katydids sing in
j the twilight, for three meals a day and
i a place in which to lie awake at night
' and worry about it. If he doesn't over
| work he is called lazy and if he does
j overwork he grows crazy. He toils
j and saves through the days of his youth,
I so that when he grows okl he can wear
i a silk hat and sit on the knee of luxury,
I but when his hair turns to snow and
! his whiskers grow thin and gray in
( life's late afternoon, he finds that he
j has been victimized and greviously
! buncoed by bis own calculations, and
j that rheumatism and poor relations
' have shattered all his dreams and
punctured his fondest hopes and de
sires. "What's the use'?"
In the Swim.

A Mothers' Meeting will be Leld in
the High School room in Emporium,
Saturday, Feb. 23 at 2:30 p. m. Special
announcement will be sent to each
home as far as can be done, but owing
to the difficulty in securing a correct
list of the mothers of the town, it is
probable that some will be omitted in
the special announcement.
Inasmuch as the meeting is in the in
terest of the school children it is ear
nestly requested that ever mother will
make a special effort to be present.
The following questions will be dis
cussed: (1 (—Cigarette Smoking. (2) —
Home Study. (3) —Regularity and
Punctuality. (4)— Physical care of the

A Great Misfortune.
E. C. Davy, who resides at Four Mile,
where he conducts a sawmill and farm
met with a great misfortune last Sun
■ day morning. About midnight Mr.
I Davy awoke and discovered his barn
i to be in flames and quickly hurried to
i the scene, but was unable to rescue
j any of the stock and all but one young
'■ steer perished. The barn, in addition
j to nine tons of hay, feed, carriage,
! wagons, harness, sleighs, farming
! utensils, etc., containing eleven head
I of cattle and one horse burned to death
i before his eyes. The horse was owned
! by A. H. Farr, of Emporium, and was
' highly prized as a family pet. The
loss is a severe one on Mr. Davy, who
places his damage at §I,OOO, upon which
! he had no insurance.
The cause of the fire is a mystery
! and from the fact that at seven o'clock
the barn was securely fastened for the
i night and that when the flames are
supposed to have burned the rope al
, lowing the young critter to escape is
evidence that the door was not fasten
ed. Mr. Davy is a hard working, in
dustrious citizen, and this severe loss
will be hard to bear.

BOYS USE A GUN.
Almost a Fatal Accident in Rich
Valley.
Last evening Dr. R. P. Heilman was
hastily summoned to the residence of
John Adams, who resides in Rich Val
ley on account of the accidental shoot
ing of Mrs. Delbert Adams. Mrs.
Adams and her father, John Adams,
were sitting in a down-stairs room ex
amining a map when the loud explosion
of a gun echoed through the house.
Up stairs were two boys, about four
teen years of age—Mrs. Adams' son
and a sister's child—who got hold of a
rifle and while fooling with the gun
exploded it. The bullet crashed
through the floor and struck Mrs. Ad
ams, passing through her left breast,
taking a downward course and passed
out below her left hip, inflecting a se
rious and dangerous wound. At this
writing Dr. Heilman believes that the
lady will recover from the injuries.
This is another warning to persons
who allow loaded fire arms in their
houses where children have access to
them.
Boy Battles in Vain for Life in a Pit.
PATTON, Feb. 18. —With eyes wide
open and blood-stained hands, the
frozen and almost nude body of seven
year old Charles Fetsco was found in a
mine breach near Hastings Saturday.
He had fallen there on his way home
from a skating pond. John Fetsco, the
boy's father, made the terrible dis
covery.
Four days ago Charles Fetsco went
skating and did not return home. His
father began the search, which lasted
over night and all the next day. Fol
lowing tracks in the snow, the father
came to the mine breach. At the bot
tom lay the body of the boy, the face
upturned toward the mouth of the pit.
Prozen blood on tho hands and feet
showed what a desperate struggle the
child had made to escape. The perpen
dicular sides of the pit bore marks
where he had dug with his hands in
the hope of gaining a foot hold. He
had stripped off his clothing, making a
pile 10 inches high, to aid him in his
futil attempt to climb to safety.
At the last moment tho little fellow
must have knelt in prayer, for the body
was found in a half kneeling position,
with the face upturned and wearing a
look of inexpressible anguish.
Death was due to cold and starvation.
nr. Howard's Hunificent Gift.
For many years a thirty-second de
gree Mason and a charter member of
the Scottish Rite of the valley of Wil
liamsport, William Howard, desiring
to see the Scottish Rite bodies estab
lished in a proper home, will make
them a a munificent gift. In April last
he purchased the Piper property on
Fourth street, adjoining the Masonic
temple on the east and having a front
age on Fourth street of 103 feet and a
depth of 126 feet, and on this he will
erect a mansion to bo used exclusively
for the Scottish Rite and to contain no
offices or stores. He says it may cost
§30,000, more or less, but in any case,
must be good and substantial. This
and the lot on which it is to be situate
is the gift he will make by which
Masons will long remember him.—
Williamsport Bulletin.
Death of Col.W, W. Ames.
B. W. Green, Esq., on Monday re
ceived a telegram from Rrdgway, in
forming him of the death of his life-long
friend, Col. W. W. Ames, of pneumo
nia, in his 59th year. Mr. Ames was
well and very favorably known in this
section of the State, as a member of
the law firm of McCauley, Ames &
Whitmore and enjoyed a very large
practice. Col. Ames served through
out the war and was a member of Gov.
! Hoyt's staff. He leaves a Wife and
three daughters.
A Diphtheria Cure.
The Scientific American gives this
receipt as one which the world ought
to know. At the first indication of
diphtheria in the throat of a child, make
the room close, and then take a cup
and pour into it a quantity of tar and
turpentine, equal parts. Hold the cup
over the fire so as to fill the room with
fumes. The patient on inhaling the
fumes will cough up and spit out all
membraneous matter, and the diphthe
ria will pass out. The fumes of tar and
turpentine loosen tho throat and afford
a relief that has battled the skill of phy
sicians.
