Children's day at the First Methodist Episcopal church was appropriately observed, Sunday, June 30th, with all day exercises. At the morning ser vice the minister preached and admin istered the sacrament of baptism to eleven children. The Sunday school, Mr. T. B. Lloyd, superintendent, rendered its exercises in the evening before an audience that filled the auditorium and chapel and that gave every evidence of being delighted with the well arranged pro gram. The infant class, under the direction of Mrs. McNarney, Mrs. Metzger, Mrs. Shaffer and Miss Larrabee, certainly excelled itself. To the strains of music by the orchestra of nine pieces, the 75 children holding aloft beautiful ban ners, bearing religious emblems, en tered the church and ascended the platform where they sang their inspir ing songs. The classes of Mrs. Strayer, Miss Lillian Heilman and Miss Bertha Greg ory also rendered beautiful cxerceses, while the following were heard in in dividual parts that were very pleasing: Mabel McSwan, Fred Strayer, Pearl Crosby, Cecil Clarke, Bessie Kacken meister, Clella Grant, Lillian Shugart, Mary Mulliner, Mabel Morrison, Edith DeArmitt, Gladys Lloyd and Rena Jordan. The floral decorations were very fine and reflected great credit upon the committee having them in charge. A pleasing feature not on the regular program was a vocal solo by Miss Helen Vossage, of Philadelphia. Miss Vossage sings with much expression. Her friends hope to hear her again during her stay in Emporium. The collection for Christian Educa tion amounted to §30.00. mortuary Report for Hay and June.

In his effort to stop the horses one of the reins, the right one, broke which rendered Mr. Loucks powerless to stop the horses. He stuck to the wagon and pulled the team to the left, running them against the corner of the First National Bank with great force, break ing some of the bricks. The team was brought to a stand still in the rear of Seger'a clothing store, being unable to find an outlet. Mr. Louck's nerve never left him and it is a miracle that the aged gentleman was not seriously in jured. The Commercial Hotel. Since the first of April the Commer cial Hotel under the management of Mr. N. P. Warner has undergone some substantial improvement. The whole building has been renovated, from top to bottom, roomfi repainted and paper ed, and changes made of a pleasing kind. The standard of the hotel has been raised. The accommodations are excellent, the rooms and beds neat and clean. An attractive feature of this | hostelry is the particular attention j given by Mr. Warner to the cuisine j department, the dining room and the j tidiness of the tables. Everything the 1 market affords, in season, is furnished. I In fact the tables are the best ever i known at this hotel. Commercial men | and the traveling public are drawn to the Commercial, satisfied that under the present management it exceeds its former reputation as a place of accom modation. The Sunday dinners are fine—just the kind our town people enjoy.—Mttnoy Democrat. Literary Contest. Question number five was answered by one of our Emporium young ladies as follows: "Christ learned Aramaic, the dialect of Syria. lie understood Hebrew and we take it for granted that Jesus also spoke Creek, since he was au inhabitant of Galilee. He probably spoko Latin, that being the language 1 of the Government." Sho sites as her authority "The Life of the Master" by Rev. John Watson. A young lady from Driftwood renders another answer to the same question: 1 "Evidently Christ spoke the Galilean dialect of the Hebrew language" and cites verso seventy of the fourteenth chapter of the Gospel of St. Mark: "Surely thou art one of them, for thou j art a Galilean, and thy speech agreeth , thereto." , Both answers are undoubtedly cor rect, and we will give each young lady credit accordingly. So far as the sub stance of the two answers is concerned the first one is the fuller and more | exact, the latter, however, possesses | the distinct merit of being her own ! deduction from her own examination of the Scripture records, as the remark 1 in the Gospel was addressed to St. Peter, and it is a pure assumption to | claim that the language spoken in Palestine at that time was Hebrew, for the bulk of evidence points to Aramaic. There is reason to believe that Jesus spoko Greek, as well; but there is no positive evidence that our Lord spoke Latin. Query No. 6.

The Wellsboro Republican Advocate says: "It may be of interest to know some thing of the sales recently made of timber from the lands usually known as the Silas X. Billings estate at Gaines. "This property is now owned, one half by the heirs of Charles F. Billings, who are represented by Hon. J. B. Niles, of Wellsboro, and one-half by the heirs of Abby B. McNeil, who are represented by Frank A. Sears, of Ithaca, N. Y. "Messrs. Niles and Sears have within the past year made several sales of timber, amounting in the aggregate to over §400,000. The fact that the last of these is the largest, and that it is the last largest amount of original white pine in this section, makes it of greater interest. "This sale is estimated to comprise about 11,000,000 feet'of white pine, 17,- 000,000 feet of liembock, and several million feet of hardwood, chestnut, maple, beech, etc., and was made to W. L. Sykes, of Galeton, for §155,000. Mr. Sykes is a self made man of integ rity, and a business hustler. Mention should be made of E. J. Jones, Esq., of St. Marys, his attorney, who is a man of ability in his profession and a gen tleman, such as is a pleasure to do business with. "It is expected that the Goodyears' road will bo extended to this lot of timber, which is situated upon the headwaters of Elk run, in Tioga coun ty, and the logs drawn over it to Gale ton and there manufactured. Mr. Sykes is president of the Empo rium Lumber company, and this com pany will manufacture the logs and handle the lumber commencing with next year. Mr Sykes has invested a large amount, and it is hoped that he may have success in his present undertak ing, as he has had in the preceding ones." A Sad Accident. A serious and unfortunate accident happened on Mill street in front of the Davidson store late yesterday after noon by which Gertie, a little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Butler of the Connelly House was badly injured and may be made a cripple for life. Miss Butler was entertaining her friend Miss Bessie Gallagher of Williamsport and together they had started out for a ride in a rig and with a horse that belongs to Mr. Butler, a kind and do cile animal. Going up Mill street be tween Main and Pearl an explosion of a large firecracker freightened the horse which became unmanagable and turned round. The girls jumped, the Gallagher girl lighting safely, but Miss Butler caught her right foot in the reins and was thrown. Entangled thus the horse dragged her several times about the street before it could be stopped and the young lady relieved from her predicament, although a half dozen men, led by F. E. Bowley ran quickly to the rescue. Tender hands raised the injured child and although she showed a nerve and fortitude scarcely expected in one of her tender years, the conditions were indeed sor rowful. The right leg was broken above the ankle and the ankle was badly crushed and unjointed. Dr. Otto was quickly summoned and assisted by Dr. Colcord the fracture was reduced and the ankle forced back in place. She is resting as easy as can be expect ed today. The injured girl had lived here but a few days but in that time i had made many friends through her | charming manners and kindly disposi -11 ion. She has beforo her several weeks ! of suffering which will be enhanced by j the terribly warm weather and with j the only pleasure that she has the sympathy of her hosts of little friends ' here and elsewhere in the temporary ' aflliction. —Port Allegany Reporter.

(JP IN THE CLOUDS An Olean Man Takes Aerial Flight Heavenward. TELLS OF HIS EXPERIENCE. nr. J. S. Douglas Writes Entertain ingly From Los Angeles, Cal.—Up on a California Mountain. The following interesting letter is from Mr. J. S. Douglas, of the Douglas-Graham Company, and was written from Los. ADgelcs, C'al., where lie passed several weeks during the late winter. As bright a morning as has dawned on this sunny land since my sojourn in the "City of the Angels," was one about the last of March, when at 8 o'clock I stepped aboard a Passedena electric car, which was to take mo as far as the beautiful little city bearing the above happy name, on my way to Mt. Lowe, so-called after Prof. Lowe, the man who had the courage to conceive and the daring and grit to develop and push to completion, the great incline railway by which access is had to "Echo" mountain in making the accent of Mt. Lowe. I thought I had become pretty well ac quainted with this neighboring landmark, by having so ircquently seen it from some of the many points of vantage in Los Angeles, standing guard as it were over one of Earth's treasure spots, ap parently outside the city's gates; and yet it is twenty-five miles from this point to the top of 311. Lowe. I had before this, on some of my rides by Tally-Hound rail, passed hard by tine toot-hills that nestle i closely around the base ol the mother mountain and I bad longed to "ret into it aud experience, if possible, some of the thrills of rapture that California moun tains are said to inspire in one, who has a desire thus to become acquinted with nature through this groat medium of inspiration. After a ride of an hour and a half, and having beeu twice tranferrecf to other lines—the latter line having very much lighter aud smaller cars, that cm the more easily wind their way in and out throught the foot-hills—now creeping over trestles, and now winding around short curves and stealing along narrow ledges that overhang, in a rather uncertain and precarious way, deep gorges and young canons that have already obtruded their presence before the nervous tourist, as a foretaste of what he may ex pect as he goes higher; we find ourselves landed at the great incline railroad in the entrance to ltubio Canon. It is perfectly proper to refer to this point as the foot for it is what the thing stands on. This particular railroad is not lying down; it is standing up, and in quite a diguified manner, for in one long stretch of its 3,000 feet of length, a grade of 02 per cent in maintained and the lowest grade it carries is 48 per cent. Upon getting into the mountain car, and a signal having been sent up the line to the engineer at the top to stait the great cable to which the car is attached, and, as the car begins rising, a thrill of anything but rapture comes over some of the occupants as they get down in the bottom of the car, or close their eyes or hide behind some fel low passenger so they cannot see the dizzy heights, they know they are rapidly at taining—an agony of rapture it must be to such. One large gentleman, whom his companions called "Mart," made his escape somewhere in the bottom of the car, and was not seen, nor would he re spond to any inquiries by his Iriends, until the summit of the incline was reached, and he was once more safely on terra-firma. "Mart," had evideutly been reared somewhere out on the plains and had never laid in a very extensive stock of mountain experience, and when he ran up against one of these Sierra Madre propositions, ho was wholly unprepared, for it took his nerve away as it almost did his breath. I myself find that I can sit here and write about this mountain experience with a somewhat greater degree of tranquility, than I enjoyed at the time I was getting the experience. As we were approaching the entrance to ltu bio Canon through the foothills, the sky suddenly became clouded and low ering, and it as suddenly became uncom fortably cold. 11 began to grow rather ominous looking for our day's pleasure. To still further complicate matters, it began to rain while we were making our way up the incline, but as this part of the journey only required seven minutes to accomplish, aud, as the rain was neither very heavy nor very wet, it being partially frozen in its decent, we were soon enabled to take refuge on the lop of "Echo" mountain in an electric ear, which stood there waiting for us, without any cover or roof over it, but it was a ear and we felt conforted. We are now 1,300 feet higher than at the foot of the incline, j and I think that we all felt a degree «>i | pardonable pride at our rapid rise in the j world—l,3oo feet in seven minutes is i pretty good and we have only gone a dis tance of 3,000 feet, the length of the incline, to attain this altitude.
