Bitten by a Dog.
On Saturday evening Bing Hemphill
was holding his dog, a small canine,
when another dog came up from be
hind and took hold of Hemphill's dog's
hind leg, and no sooner had he done
this when the little fellow took a
mouthful of Bing's left hand.
A Pleasant (ientleman.
The PRESS was favored last Friday
with a call from Mr. Hugh F. Hoffman,
press representative of John Robinson
show. We found Mr. Hoffman very
much of a gentleman and enjoyed his
acquaintance. If all of Mr. Robinson's
managers arc of the same stamp as Mr.
Hoffman it is not to be wondered that
his reputation is rapidly gr wing.
An Old-Timer (i ne.
WILLIAM BRITTON, aged "8 years,
died in Clearfield Home, June 14th,
1001. Mr. Wm. Britton, came from
Trenton, N. J., with his parents, when
a boy and located in ltich Valley with
the early settlers. Ho married Eliza
beth Fisher and had four children,
three of whom are living. Dece.ised
will be remembered by many of our
older citizens.
Wu Ting Fang in Emporium.
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."

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Otto Nellis Falls Under the Wheels of
Emporium and Rich Valley Log
Train and Loses a Leg.
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

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.
The price for a course ticket will be
the same as last year §1.50 each includ
ing reserved seat. The canvas will
shortly be made and upon the success
of this everything will depend. Persons
will be asked to indicate the number of
tickets they will take to be delivered in
the early autumn.

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."
