A Pleasant (ientleman. The PRESS was favored last Friday with a call from Mr. Hugh F. Hoffman, press representative of John Robinson show.

Hardly a day passes but Emporium is honored by the presence of one or more prominent gentlemen. Last Sun day, Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Min ister to the United States, accompanied by his wife, stopped in Emporium a short timo while waiting for the Flyer to change engine and crews. Wu and his wife alighted frem the train and sceuied to greatly admire the beautiful scenery surrounding Emporium there is none more beautiful. This able diplo mat and scholar delivered an address at Buffalo last Friday before the New i York State Bankers' Association, in ' j annual convention. 110 reviewed the j monetary system of the Chinese empire j from tho twelfth century before Christ. Mr. Wu commented on the fact that j there is no American bank in China, i the large volume of trade between the empire and tho United States being transacted through the agency of Euro pean and other merchants. "I hope," heconcluded, "that atyour next annual convention you will be able to report not only the existence of some American mercantile house in Hong Kong, but through your influence and support, the establishment of an j American bank also in China."

Last Friday morning about 0:30 Otto Nellis, aged about 22 years and em ployed as brakeman on Emporium & Rich Valley R. R., log train, met with a serious accident on Cooks Run that caine near costing his life. When near Thos, DeLong's camp (No. 12) young Nellis,while in t he act of throw ing off the break, was thrown under the log cars, caused by the brake rod pulling out. He was dragged about sixty feet but had presence of mind to keep one leg free from th 3 wheels. His left leg was frightfully mangled and after being brought to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. Nellis at this place, Drs. Smith, DeLong and Heilman amputated the leg at the thigh. At the tim£ of the .accident the in" jured man with great presence of mind and wonderful nerve, crawled from the track to the hill side, a distance of 20 feet, motioned the train men to stop the train. Promptly as sistance was brought and the injured, man made as comfortable as possible until the train could make a hurried run from Cooks Run to Emporium, a distance of six miles. Grave fears were entertained that the young man would not survive the shock but his indomitable will power aided him no doubt and the doctors now believe, unless some unforseen complication sets in, that lie will recover. "Doc," as his associates call him, has the sym pathy of our citizens and all hope he may soon recover from his serious in jury. A Happy Event—Sixty Years of Wed ded Life. I On Tuesday, June 18th, Mr. and Mrs. James Russell, of Mason Hill, celebrat ed the 60th anniversary of their wedded life. About one hundred invited guests, j (for everybody had a cordial invita- I tion i assembled at their residence early in the day to show their respect for I the aged couple. Tho occasion was j happily spent in social chat and visit | ing. After a splendid dinner, to which j all done justice, Rev. G. W. Steel, of | VVesleyau Methodist church, made a i neat and timely speech, after which j all bowed in prayer and the Rev. I gentleman invoked the blessings of j God on tho venerable couple. This I was an event that very seldom happens j that two persons travel life together ! for 60 years. Those in attendance from | a distance were; C. McCraeken and j wife, (daughter), of Straights; Mrs. j James Bennett, (daughter), Croyland; i Mr. Ed. Russell, a son, of First Fork, and F. R. Russell, son, of this place, and lots of grand children. The pre sents were numerous, beautiful and 1 costly. We will mention just a few: Newton Mix a fat sheep, that was eaten up, rump and stump; Miss Nellie Marsh, a rug, woven in many colors j with 60 in the centre; Mrs. McCraeken, j a robe and a wreath for her mother, ! which when placed on the head of the lady made her look like a girl of sweet 16. Mr. Russell, dressed in his best suit and wearing a most beautiful but ton bouquet was as happy as a lad of long ago. All went home pleased with tho occasion and were invited to parti cipate in diamond wedding twenty-five years hence. Tho ages of the venerable couple are Mr. Russell, 82; Mrs. Rus sell, 74. One matter we almost forgot to men tion, and that is that Mrs. H. and J. M. English have not been well since the feast and had the sheep been a lit tle larger neither Miss M. or Miss R. would have stood any show whatever even if they did make a charge againsl "Sandy." C. W. Williams got left al 1 around. E. M. J. Doing Nicely. j At this writing Otto Nellis, who losi a leg on Emporium & Rich Valley R | R., last Friday, is doing nicely and ii | gaining in strength. Children's Day. Next Sunday will be observed as Children's Day at the Methodist Epis copal church. The minister will preach an appropriate sermon at the morning services and administer the Sacrament of Baptisim to children. The exercises by the children will beheld in the even ing and will be of a very interesting character. The floral decorations will be beautiful. Congressional and Judicial. Cameron, Clearfield, Centre, Elk and McKean counties have been framed as the latest Congressional district, at least it was at last reports. Tt is rather hard to say what will bo the outcome of the situation. The Conference report filed Tuesday places McKean back in the Sibley district and leaves this district Cameron, Elk Clear field and Oentre. There have been many reports as to a probable change in this judicial dis trict, connecting Potter and Cameron counties, but from the information at hand the PRESS is inclined to believe that the old district will remain as heretofore —CI inton, Ca meron and Elk A Beautiful Book. Fred A. Johnson, a student at Swarthmore College, has presented us with a handsomly bound volume of"The Halcyon," which is the Junior annual of the above college. The publication, of which Fred is a member of the board of editors, con sists of one hundred and ninety pages jof matter, finely illustrated with cuts of the college buildings, classes, frater nity and athletic groups. It is rich in | class poems and verse describing j scenes and events familiar to the col lege and more particularly to the class of 1902. The whole book, true to its title is filled with the warmth and glow of the typical, halcyon college days and reflects much credit upon the b .rd of elitors and managers. The People's Star Course. The ladies of the Methodist Episcopal church will endeavor to conduct a Star Course the coming season and have secured an option on the appended list of attractions: They are the very best procurable and are very expensive and only the most general and liberal pat ronage will make it possible for them to proceed with the undertaking.

Literary Prize Contest. Question number four was correctly answered. It runs like this: Franklin was dining with a party of diplomats, when a gentleman proposed that as three nationalities were represented, each embassador should toast his own country. The English Prime Minister had the initial opportunity, and he said proud ly: "Here is to Great Britain, the sun that enlightens the world." The French Premier had the next chance, though a trifle annoyed at be ing obliged to content himself with a brilliant luminary, lie said placidly: "Here is to France, the moon whose magic rays move the tides." A smile ran round the table as Franklin rose, and mo3t of the guests indulged in secret gratulation that he had nothing but the stars to compare America to. But with the philosophic wisdom which distinguished "poor Richard's almanack," he thundered forth: "To George Washington, the Joshua of America, who commanded the sun and moon to stand still—and they obeyed."
