Children's Day Exercises.
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.

Lively Runaway.
i.ast Tuesday evening Mr. A. Loucks'
team took fright coming up Fourth
street and started to runaway. 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.

Big Timber Deal by Emporium Lum
ber Company.
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.

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. While
