An exchange recently stated that one of Bolivar's newly married young la dies kneads bread with her gloves on. The statement called out these remarks from another editor: "The incident may be somewhat peculiar, but there are others. The editor of this paper needs bread with his shoes on; he needs it with his pants on, and unless the de linquent readers, of this old rag of free dom pay up before long wo will need bread without a darned thing on.—Catt araugus Times. Patrick R. Cotter Dead. Harrisburi* Patriot. Representative Patrick R. Cotter, of Eldred, McKean county, died at the Grand hotel here Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock, having been ill since Thursday noon. Mr. Cotter was on the street on Thursday morning and about noon was seized with a chill and was obliged togo to bed. A physician and trained nurse were sent for and he appeaaed to be doing quite well Fri day. Friday night, however, he took a turn for the worse and became deliri ous at times. Saturday morning, Rep resentative Dixon, of Elk, called, and Mr. Cotter recognized him and seemed brighter. About noon he suffered a relapse and sank rapidly, and in a short time he was unconscious. His son was tele graphed for and arrived here yester- I day. Mr. Cotter was apparently a man in robust health, but a few months ago he fell heavily 011 the ice and suffered much from it. The direct cause of his death was uraemic poisoning of the blood. He was fifty-seven years old and his only official position previous to going to the legislature was that of district attorney of McKean county. He was considered one of the best criminal lawyers in northwestern Pennsylvania and had a large practice lie served three years as a soldier with a Phila delphia regimeht in the civil war. Mr. Cotter was regarded as the best orator in the house and had a wonderful com mand of language and a bright and ready wit. Mr. Cotter was one of the ablest and purest members of that body and his death is a misfortune to the independ ent element. His lost appearance in the chamber was on Wednesday night, during the debate on the Philadelphia "Ripper." He was bitterly opposed to the bill and expected to make a speech | | against it when it eame up for third reading. He was elected to the legis lature last November in a fusion of Democrats and anti-Quay Republicans. Emporium School Board.

Burial of C. fl. Barr. CALVIN MERRICK, oldest eon of A. H. and Josephine Barr, was born Aug. 2, 1868 and died April Ist, 1901. Was married March 29th, 1892 to Miss Alice Mays, of Hazel, Jefferson county, Pa., and to them six childrin was born, five of whom are living. At the time of his death he was living at Medix Run, when taken with appendicitis. A wife, Ave children, father, mother, two sis ters and one brother mourn for the dead. The funeral took place April 3d from the residence of his parents on Huston Hill. Rev*. S. Ebersole, of Mes siah Church officiated. He took these words as the foundation of his remarks: '•I shall behold thy face in righteous ness; I shall be satisfied when 1 awake with thy likeness." The advice to tlio living, with the casket as the example, was impressive and the tears of be reavement and sympathy told only too well that the story of the dead would not soon be forgotten. The interment took place in the Huston Hill cemetery, near the school house, a beautiful place selected for the rest of the dead. In spite of the inclemency of the weather a large concourse of people came out to pay their last respect to a dear friend. Quite a number accompanied the re mains from Medix Run, a last tribute to one whom they will miss so much from their ranks. The tribute of flow ers they brought was so appropriate and beautiful. Letters of condolence and reference to the good qualities and Christian character of the deceased one being from the Editor of the PRESS. As sad friends turned away from the last resting place, leaving the remains of one wht> will be missed so much, we were led to inquire why this one was taken and others left who would not be J missed so much, then we were led to j exclaim: God hath His mysteries of grace, Things which we cannot tell; He hides them deep like the hidden sleep. Of him we loved so well. Calvin was a devoted husband, an affectionate son, brother and a friend to all who knew him. We take this opportunity of expressing the thanks of a grateful family to the friends and neighbors for their kindness, assistance and acts of sympathy in this great hour of very sad affliction. A FRIEND. Mason Hill, Pa., April 8, 1901. The Lumber Harkets. Reports from many branches R. G. Dun & Co., in important lumber cen ters, indicate an active demand for hardwood lumber. Stocks are gener ally light and prices firm. At some points in the West there is a scarcity of cars for shipments, and complaint is made that ocean rates are against ex ports. Adverse weather conditions in some sections of the South compelled two-thirds of the mills to remain idle. In Southern pine the output at nearly all Southern points is very heavy and mills are busy. Stocks carried over in Northern markets are not large, and active preparations for Spring building indicate a heavy demand at higher prices. Thecutofsprucelogsin Maine was about the same as in other seasons, and there will be some increase on the Penobscot on account of old logs held back from last year's drive. The de mand for pulp is heavy, and about one-half the cut will be used for that purpose. Low water on the Kennebec and Androscoggin threatens curtail ment of operations there somewhat. Indications point to higher prices. At Canadian points the cut for lumber was considerably reduced owing to dullness of English markets, but for pulp the cut was very heavy. Please Take Notice. On and after the first day of April anyone having in their possession, or using my bottles for any purpose oth er than for what they are intended, or any persons offering for sale or buying said bottles, will be prosecuted and punished to the full extent of the law. Please observe this notice. 5-31 F. X. BLUMLE. The Warner House. J. L. Wheeler has disposed of the Warner House to H. R. Minnett, of Brockport, Pa., who takes possession to-day. A Small Wreck. Last Saturday evening as an east ! bound freight train was pulling into the Junction, a flange broke on a car heavily loaded with iron ore, causing five cars to leave the track, tearing up some two hundred feet of the road bed. Burke-flcNamara. Simon S. McNamara, of Greenville, Pa., (formerly a resident of Emporium but now filling an important position with the Pittsburg & Bessiiner R. R.,) and Miss Katie L. Burke, of this place were united in marriage last Sunday evening at St. Mark's Catholic church, Rev. Father Downey officiating. The happy couple departed on Monday for Greenville, where they will reside. The best wishes of our people follow the young bride who has long been a respected resident of Emporium. Water in Cemetery. Several ladies representing the Chamber of Commerce of Emporium, called at the Council Chamber last Monday and through their leader, Mrs. E. M. Newton, requested that water be piped to Newton cemetery. We understand arrangements have been made whereby water will be pumped from Portage creek by the Cli max Powder Company and furnished the Borough free of cost. If such is the case Mr. Julian certainly is doing a very commendable act. Easter Gladness. The Easter exercises in the First M. E. Church were of a most inspiring character. The large auditorium was fliled at the morning service and the eloquent sermon of the Pastor on the "Resurrection of Christ" was accorded the closest attention by the entire con gregation—it was a mastery sermon. Nearly 300 gathered in the Sunday School and the program presented by the Primary and Intermediate depart ments, was both enjoyable and edifying. Tiie chancel was filled with evergreens, lillies and other blossoms of spring, and was a scene of radiant beauty. Beautiful Easter cards were distributed to the children and the entire day made one of delight. An Important Railroad Rumor. A report has been floating around town for several days to the effect that the Pennsylvania Railroad is contem plating an important change,by remov ing the headquarters of the Philadel phia & Erie Railroad division from Williamsport to Renovo. It is further stated that the roilroad company will remodel the Renovo Hotel and occupy it for the headquarters of the division. The rumor is not an improbable one, as the main shops of the P. & E rail road are located here, and whose in terests are growing larger and more important as the years roll by. Nearly every important change made by President Cassatt assumed charge of the Pennsy has been .a help to Renovo. The business of the shops and the road have never been more prosperous than they are to-day—Renovo Record. Shippen School Board.

It is suggested that slates be hung in the vestibules of churches to enable the young ladies to register their names on entering. If this plan be adopted the young men won't have to wait outside until church is out to see if their charmers are there. If more people sought to gain the kingdom of heaven by right living than to seek to avoid life's responsibilities, and would go after the avenue of escape, how much better the world would be, and how much surer the happiness of the world beyond. Several churches in other places are advertising their services in a unique manner and paying for the advertising space the same as a business house. The increased attendance has borneout the continued assertion of publishers that "advertising pays."
