1901, JOHN FRANKLIN MANN, and Miss
REN A M. FETTER, were united in mar
riage by the Rev. O. S. Metzler, pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
They have the best wishes of their
friends for a happy and prosperous life.
Accidents at Sinnamahoning.
Last Saturday a young man, named
Thoreia, employed in the Sinnamahon
ing kindling wood factory received an
ugly cut by a piece of wood flying from
a saw.
Another accident also occured, to a
young man employed on the log train,
last Saturday. One of his feet was
smashed by being caught between two
loaded cars of logs.
Emporium School Board.
The Emporium school directors met
Monday evening and organized by
electing the following officers: Presi
dent, L. K. Iluntiugton; Secretary, N.
J. Earner; Treasurer, F. P. Rentz.
Prof. Bastian was re elected principal
and Miss Van Valkenberg, assistant.

New Emmanuel Church.
Emmanuel Church Vestrymen on
Monday awarded the contract to John
W. Kriner for the erection of their new
stone church, a very handsome design.
The edifice will occupy tho location
of the old church. We are not permit
ted to publish the full particulars as to
cost, etc , but from what we can learn
when the building is completed it will
be one of the finest in this section of
the state. The church is to be enclosed
by December of this year.
Will Probably Leave Us.
W. S. Walker, son of our townsman
Geo. A. Walker, Sr., has accepted a re
sponsible position with the Emporium
Lumber Company, of which he i 3 a
stockholder. The new duties require
him to devote at least part of his time
to the business, which, of necessity,
will take him from home a greater part
of the time. The growing business of
this firm may require him to move his
family to Austin in the future. We
hope not. Mr. Walker is an excellent
citizen and business man and his pleas
ant family among the most respected.
Death of James McKinnon.
James McKinnon aged 48 years, an ,
employe of Hon. F. X. Blumle was'
kicked by a horse last Wednesday
morning and died from the injuries on
Saturday morning. The gentleman's
friends reside in NovaScotiaand though ]
communicated with, arrangements for
the forwarding of his body could not
be effected and the burial was made in
Newton Cemetery.
The services were conducted at the
home of Mr. Blumlo on Sunday at
2 o'clock, p. m.and were very largely
attended. They were in charge of the
Rev. O. S. Metzler, pastor of the First
Methodist Episcopal Church, and were
deeply impressive, a sense of sadness
pervading all hearts. The music which
was furnished by members of the Pres
byterian choir was tender and beautilul.
The thoughtful kindness of Mr.
Blumle and family in effecting the ar
rangements for the services and for the
burial is hiplily creditable and is com
mended by all.
Integrity and Capacity of Women In
i Business.
I "Do women embezzle" ? This ques
tion was asked one of the heaviest dry
' goods merchants of one of our large
cities who always employ women as
cashiers. "Do women embezzle"?
I "No they don'tjl never knew a woman
( who handled other people's money to
steal a cent. And I have employed
I, women cashiers for years. They are
quicker at making change than men,
they keep their accounts cleaner and
don't want to run the whole store as
men usually do. Never knew a single
case of embezzlement by women, can't
say the same of men." Many such
testimonies could bo had, proving the
honesty of women when handling the
, money of other people. The statement
of others who have informed them
, selves on this subject is that women
seldom ever fail to pay their debts, even
. when they might avail themselves of
I the bankrupt law they prefer holding
themselves legally liable for the debt.
: While newspapers are full of wicked
theft, and embezzlements of bank presi
dents running away with fortunes be
; longing to others, wrecking homes,
impoverishing families, destroying re
; putations, disgracing their friends and
ruining themselves. While trusted
men are robbing public institutions,
, speculating, gambling and stealing car
, ing not whom they rob, wrong or ruin,
women fare seldom guilty of such dis
-1 honesty or crimes. The general belief
is that women are honest, yet in the
face of this fact men refuse to lend them
money to start in business, to invest in
real estate, or help them save their
property upon which they have paid a
certain amount, and which can only be
saved by prompt payment of the re
mainder. Women often find it hard
to secure even a small loan on good
security. Men prefer to say they have
not the means at hand or some other
excuse, a few are manly enough to
state the truth and say "We do not do
business with women." Very few treat
them as they do men giving them a
chance to make an honest living. Why
is this? Some men cling to the old idea
that it i 3 not becoming in women toen
gage in business outside of her home,
however needy we may be. Hundreds of
wealthy men will give and give liberally
to establish homes fur women who
have tried to secure homes f<sr them
selves, but these good men would not
ler.d them the small amount because
they believed they did not understand
business. The greatest kindness and
noblest act is to hrelp the needy to help
themselves. If women do not under
stand business, how are they to over
come this deficiency if prevented by
such circumstances from acquiring the
knowledge ? With honest principle
and proper opportunity supplied with
some means and trusted by the public,
they cannot fail to become as trusted
as their brothers and as proficient
breadwiners. Give them a chance to
become 6elf supporters rather than
genteel paupers. Save them this hu
mility added to their other trials.

Decoration Day at Sinnamahoning.
Memorial day was properly observed
at this place, under the direction of P.
O. S. of A. Barclay Brothers, who
kindly closed their mill that their
employes might attend the exercises,
have the thanks of the committee. The
old veterans of G. A. R. were out in
force and were in the line of march
and conducted the services at the
graves of their fallen comrades. The
Sinnamahoning Cornet Band headed
the procession and rendered some fine
music. The Sunday school made a fine
appearance, with their hands full of
flowers. The little tots rendered their
part nobly. All the ladies who assisted
in furnishing flowers will please accept
our thanks for their patriotic display
to our noble dead.
At 7:30 in the evening all were in- i
vited to attend special services at M. l
E. church and met at P. O. S. of A.
Hall, when they marched to the church !
in a body and listened to a sermon '
by Rev. Faus of M. E. Church.

Ballad of the Trailing Skirt.
I I met a girl the other day,
A girl with golden tresses,
Who wore the most bewitching air
And daintiest of dresses.
I gazed at her with kindling eye
And admiration utter—
Until I saw her silken skirt
Was trailing in the gutter!
"What senseless style is this?" I thought;
"What new sartorial passion?
j And who on earth stands sponsor for
j The idiotic fashion?''
I've asked a dozen maids or more,
A tailor and his cutter,
But no one knows why skirts are made
To drag along the gutter.
I What lovely woman wills to do
She docs without a reason,
To interfere is waste of time.
To criticise is treason.
Man's only province is to work
To earn his bread and butter—
And buy her all the skirts she wants
To trail along the gutter.
—Life.
