EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 13,1901. A Word of Encouragement. ! It is indeed a pleasure to know that | such a spirit of harmony and progress ! prevails regarding our town schools, i Our excellent board, backed by a j liberal, hearty, public sentiment, seem J determined to keep our schools in the | very front rank. j The unanimous and hearty re election j of Prof. Bastian as principal, at a quite | substantial increase of salary, shows the high appreciation in which he and his laborious and efficient work are held by both board and people. We are sure there will be an earnest effort to secure the most efficient force of teachers possible for the places yet to be filled. It is very encouraging to all patrons to know that "upward" is the watch word in our schools—that "from good to bettor" is the constant aim. The last year's work with its excel lent commencement program, our new departures in the way of a summer normal and free night schools all con ducted by Prof. Bastian, are strongest evidences of enthusiastic interest, ef ficiency and progress, and reflect high credit on all concerned. The cost of our schools is comparatively small to the community, but the gain is great and will be still greater. CITIZiON. The New Fish Laws.

E. O. BARD WELL, Burgess. June Ist, 1901. | McKinley Refuses to Serve a ! hircl Term. \ I \ \ I regret that a .suggestion oi ! a third term has been made. I doubt whether lam called upon to < 1 give it notice. But there are now suggestions of the gravest importance before the Administration and s the country. and their just consideration should not be prejudiced in the public mind by even the sits- c \ picion of the thought of a third term. In view therefore of the reiteration of the suggestion of it, I will i say now, once for all. expressing a long settled conviction, that I not only am not and will not be a < s candidate for a third term, but would not accept a nomination for it if it was tendered me. s .My only ambition is to serve through my second term to the acceptance of my eounlrymen, whose s r generous confidence I so deeply appreciate, and then with them to do my duty in the ranks of privates s citizenship. t C '• WILLIAM McKINLEY, \ \ Executive Mansion, Washington, June 10, 1901." X Masonic Chapter Work and Banquet. Last Monday afternoon and evening Emporium Chapter, No. 227, H. R. A. C., enjoyed a special session for the purpose of confirming the Chapter de grees upon a class of four. The session convined at 3.30 p. m., .and continued until evening. In addition to a large number of members from this eounty the occasion was made especially pleasant by the attendance of many Companions from neighboring Chap ters, among the number we noted: G. F. Rhode, Ridgway; C. W. Arnold, C. A. Cole, N. R. Bard, L. J. llaznor, C. W. Catlin, C. R. Bard, F. B. Todd, R. J. Mott, J. V. Otto, W. J. McOranor, C. S. King, J. H. Williams, C. O. Layman, F. E. Rowley, of Arnold Chapter, Port Allegany, and Rev. Geo. H. Marsh, Kalamazoo, Mich. At six o'clock the work was called off for an hour and all were invited to enjoy a Banquet, prepared for the occasion by the ladies of Prebyterian church. It is needless to add that the elegant repast was hugely enjoyed and promptly de spatched under the leadership of the Chapter's smallest (?) eaters, Roy Gleason, Walter Youthers, and E. C. Counsil. Returning to the Chapter rooms, greatly refreshed, the work was resumed and completed at a late hour, when the goat, that had been enter taining the small boys on the streets during the day and called into assist upon this especial occasion, was pro perly groomed and dismissed and shipped to F. E. Rowley's lumber camp. For many years there has existed a very fraternal feeling between Arnold Chapter and Emporium Chapter and upon this occasion the visiting Port Allegany Companions took occasion to express their appreciation of the close relationship that exists. In a neat speech, Companion C. W. Catlin, pre snted Emporium Chapter, in behalf of Arnold Chapter, a beautiful silver water service, which was highly appre ciated and accepted in the same spirit in which it was presented. The occasion was one long to bn re membered by those in attendance and was the largest assemblage of Masons held here in many years. In addition to the resident members in attendance, the following out of town members were here to enjoy the pleasant treat: Ed. C. Counsil, Warren Dent, Dents Run; Roy Gleason, John Gleason, Walter Youthers, T. 8. Patchell, S. P. Kinder, Driftwood; Geo. B. Barclay, W. L. Barclay, J. Howley Baird, Chas. A. Counsil, Sinnamahon ing; John E. Smith, J. 11. Darren, Sterling Run; C. G. Minick, Ridgway. Literary Contest.

Send in your answers and get the prize offered by the Emanuel Free Library. All answers must be addressed to the Committee on Literary Contest, box No. 183 Emporium, Pa. Renovo's Fire Brick Plant. The Lock Haven Express thus com ments on a recent meeting of the fire brick company: An important meet ing of the officers and directors of the West Branch fire brick company was held this week. The erection of the new plant on the site virtually selected some time ago is now fully decided upon and a charter will be applied for within a few weeks. The site selected for the new piant is about three-fourths of a mile from the mouth of Drury's run and not far from Renovo. The location was formerly the site of a saw mill. Manufacturers of fire brick ma chinery were on the ground this week and it is expected that the erection of the works will be commenced soon, in order that the works may be putin operation at as early a date as possible. The new company will have a great advantage in the fact that the works will be located such a short distance from the Philadelphia & Erie railroad. The plant the company proposes to erect will be fully as large as any of the fire brick works in Clinton county, and the capacity will bo as great. The company is capitalized at $>160,000. C. F. Barclay, of Sinnamahoning, is the president, B.F. Geary, of Lock Havan, secretary and Josiah Howard, of Em porium, treasurer. The erection of this new fire brick manufactory will give employment to a large number of hands and is another indication that Clinton county is be coming what the Express years ago predicted it would be, agreat fire brick manufacturing centre. The West Branch company has 50 acres of land which is underlaid with as fine a quali ty of clay as can be found in the state. Other companies it is stated will soon be erganized to erect fire brick plants in this section. New Phones This Week. No. 42 Emporium Steam Laundry. No. 45 M. C. Tulis store.
