Republican State Convention.
To the Republican electors of Penn
sylvania:—
I am directed by the Republican
State Oommittec to announce that the
Republicans of Pennsylvania, by their
duly chosen representatives, will meet
in Convention at the Opera House, in
the city of Harrisburg, on Wednesday,
August 21st, 1901, at t0:"0 o'clock a. m.
tor the purpose of nominating candi
dates for the following offices, to-\vit:
One person for the office of Justice
of the Supreme Court.
One person for the office of State
Treasurer.
In accordance with the rules govern
ing the organization, the representa
tion in the State Convention will be
based on the vote polled at the last
Presidential election. Under the rules
each legislative district is entitled to
one delegate for every two thousand
votes east for the Presidential Electors
in 1900, and an additional delegate for
every fraction of two thousand votes
polled in excess ot one thousand.
By order of the Republican State
Committee.

Congressional.
In the future, McKean county
will be associated with Center,
Clearfield and Cameron, forming
the XXI congressional district.
it might be well styled the
'Three C's and M" district. Clear
field county polls the largest num
ber of votes by over four thousand,
although its Republican plurality
in 1900 for the national and state
tickets was only a little more than
one thousand.
Center gave McKinley about
three hundred plurality and the
Democratic state ticket one hun
dred plurality at the same election.
Cameron is also a very evenly
divided county, so that McKean
will probably wield the balance of
power and prove to be the political
pendulum that will swing the dis
trict well into the Republican col
umn each time.
The Republican pluralities in
this county in 1900, were between
two and three thousand.
The four counties now combined,
polled 32,705 for the state ticket in
1900 and 34,274 for the national
candidates in the two loading par
ties, giving Hardenburg a plurality
of 3,74") tor auditor general and
McKinley 83 over Bryan.
Although McKean county ranks
second in political size in the new
district, Bradford is by far the
largest city and its influence will
be potent throughout all cam
paigns.
Some of our distinguished citi
zens who aspire to further political
distinction, can now be sure that
a Bradford man will undoubtedly
be selected before many campaigns
pass, to represent the new XXI
district in congress and as our city
invariably leads it may be that
the first contest will be won by a
Bradford Republican.
In greeting the voters of the new
district, the Star frankly states
that this paper will always be found
supporting the regular Republican
candidate for congress in the future
as in the past, and in the new XXI
as in the old XXVIT congressional
district, the Bradford Star is the
leading Republican evening paper.
Our friends, the Democrats, will
nndoubtedly derive some inspira
tion for hope of success in congress
on account of the close votes in
Clearfield, Center and Cameron
counties, but when the McKean
returns come in, it will be invari
ably found that any Democratic
pluralities in the other counties
have been overcome and the Re
publican candidate elected.
By a few did you say ?
Oh, fusion? Never!
Fusion is dead and buried in
Pennsylvania, particularly in this
county, and its spirit is not im
mortal, making a resurrection im
possible.
It takes two sides to fuse and
the Democrats wouldn't do it when
it came down to business.
A political emulsion of Republi
' canism and Democracy is an im-
I possibility and an attempt to mix
| them produces fatal results for
! both—Bradford Star.
Children often cry, not from pain, but
iroui Lunger, although led abundantly.
The trouble arises lrom inanition; their
food is not assimilated, but devoured, by
worms. A few doses of WHITES CREAM
VERMIFL'HE will destroy the worms,
when tlie children will begin to thrive at
once. Price, 25 cents. L. Taggart.

MESSAOE PROM THE BUBOKSS.
Although I have approved your minutes, Gent
lemen of the Council, to avoid any delay or ap
pearance of captionness or faultfinding, still I
wish to call your attention to two items in the
proceedings which are practically inoperative,
doubtless through oversight on your part. Please
note that you have no warrant in any law.
either Roman, English or American Constitu
tional law, lor laying over, defering or postpon
ing action on a veto, and a refusal to act on a
veto sustains it. There need be no question what
ever on this point and I do not care to take up
your time ftirther on this point at this time.
I wish also to call your attention to the fact
that all Borough licenses are, according to law,
granted by the Bnrgess and not by the Council,
accordingly it might be wise, to prevent any
further trouble, on account of legality, to make
the resolution which says"lt is the sense of this
Council that the proceeds of any license which
may be granted by the Council, during the Fire
mens Convention shall be given to the Firemens
Committee" conform to law.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY n, 1901.
UP IN THE CLOUDS
Continued from Ist Page.
nearing the top I could hear or feel my
ears snapping and cracking as if some
•thing was breaking loose in then. I did
not hear any of the other passengers'
ears acting in this queer way, however,
but in speaking of my experience, the
other passengers declared that nearly all
their ears acted in the same strange way,
and those that had not were found to
have been stuffed with cotton. The rapid
change in the elevation due to a relaxed
air pressure was the cause of this strange
experience. The ears used on this in
cline are built in three sections or series,
one above but somewhat back of the
other, something on the order of a
perpendicular row of boxes at a theatre
but of course not so nearly directly over
each other. They are constructed in this
manner, I believe, so passengers will not
be oblighed to stand on their heads when
they attempt to sit down, as they would
if the cars were constructed in the regular
way, on a level, and 1 think it is a very
good idea, for it saves a passenger a
mighty sight of inconvenience unless he
had just as soon ride backwards. We
are now at this point. "Echo Moun
tain," 3,500 teet above sea level. The
place is so named because of a very
phenomenal echo it is said to contain,
but as the echo is nowhere in sight, we
must be content to know that they have
one here. I believe we had reached this
place once before, but, well there! I have
left those people sitting up there in the
rain, in that car without any roof 011 it,
white I have gone back to see how far
we had come. We are on our way now
over this mountain electric railway of five
statute miles, which carries us 1,500 feet
higher into the clouds through some of
the most weird and romantic scenery
that it has ever been my privilege to
witness. Poor "Mart" has lucklessly
chosen the side of the car that overlooks
most of the canons and rocky cliffs, as
the car climbs its way up into the clouds
and the end seat at that. One of the
members of his own party, a gentleman
sitting in the middle of the front seat,
and who, because of his position, felt
pretty safe, sees Mart's misery and at
once begins to encourage him by directing
bis attention to the bottom of a canon
yawning, 1,000 or 1,500 feet below him.
Mart tries to look but his heart fails him,
and straightway every occupant of the
car, excepting two children aged three
and five years, and an old lady of 70,
thinks he has a mission to fulfill by at
least trying to help Mart enjoy himself,
and they all become a.s familiar with
Mart as if they had been raised with him,
and such cheering advice as, "just look
down into the top of that great tree there
under you, Mart, and look at those white
clouds just over your head and see how
rapidly they are moving, and, Oh! see
that high bridge we have to cross, it
seems almost directly over our heads," or
"I wouldn't hold fast to that post Mart,
you'll lead yourself to think you're afraid,
and you'll surely tall." I took a kindly
interest in Mart myself and eagerly
watched for, and called bis attention to
any little awe-inspiring scene that would
suddenly launch itself upon our vision,
but poor Mart was dumb to ail our en
treaties, as he was blind to the magnificent
panorama constantly before us, and the
kaleidoscopic changes of scenes that met
our gaze at each successive curve the
car made over the thread-lace structure
called a track, that iu many places seem
ed suspended from nothing and
over nothing, with the sides and
bottom out; he simply sat there with eyes
closed, tightly grasping the post and
thoroughly wishing that car was on the
earth somewhere instead of away up there
in the air. We all thought it about time
to give Mart a rest now and each occu
pant of the car—Mart, excepted—began
to drink in through open eyes and mouth,
the new beauties of the mountains, for
now there are groups and scores of them,
as the ever changing scenery is busily un
folding newer and grander sights to our
vision at every turn of the car which is
now making a specialty of rounding
curves so short, and of such frequent
occurrence, that it almost talis over itself
trying to get around some of them before
they are reached; while ever and always
transformation scenes are being enacted
all around us that makes us dizzy in our
efforts to take them all in and at the same
time remember where we are at. We
now approach a place—l think the place
is away on a vacation or something, tor
there is no place there—where it is abso
lutely necessary for the ear to make
another evolution, aud in the absence
of the place, the promoters of the road
have been thoughtful enough to build a
great circular bridge over where the place
would be were it at home, and thus
another opportunity is afforded our verv
nimble car, which at this time has devel
oped a perfect mania for getting in front
of itself, to make one grand exhibition
turn that would make an ordinary elec
tric car dizzy; but the reputation of the
car for wonderful feats in evolution is
sustained, and the road saved from an un
timely end. for were it not fur this bridge,
both the road and the car would see their
finish right here. This bridge is built bv 1
tresiling, 30 or 40 feet high around a ;
sharp spur of the mountain, and stands Or ;
overlooks the head of a beautiful canon '
which precipitously decends, from the !
base of the trestle, a thousand or perhaps
two thousand feet to the bottom. A
picture in minature of this bridge may
be imagined by following down one side
of the handle of a gourd, passing around
the bowl, and returning up the other
side of the handle to within, —to get back |
to the track, —20 feet of where you start- !
ed on the mountain side, but at perhaps a
twenty loot higher elevation. From here j
the car continues its never ending wind
ing and twining, attaining altitude more
rapidly however, approaching and pausing
through the great Granite Gate, whare
the right of way has been chiseled through
a ledge a solid granite perhaps 40 or 50
teet high. The section that has been
separated from the main ledge by the
roadway, stands there an isolated sentinel
or as an impregnable rampart overlook nig
the great rocky gorge far below, as if in
menace to any who might be audacious
enough to attempt to approach from that
direction. In nearing the "Alpine
Tavern' we have already begun to pass
through a thin covering of snow on the
ground in many places where the sun has
been unable to roach it, so that the chilli
ness of the lower altitudes is changed to
absolute coldness, and we experience al
most as many changes in weather condi
tions in these mountain fastnesses as we do
in the ever fluctuating scenery. Arrived
at the Alpine Tavern, altitude 5,000 feet,
the car is soon relieved of its happy family
of passengers, some of whom straightway
begin knocking icicles from the eaves of
the porch extending along the front of
the inn. while Mart devotes his time to
selecting a good solid broad gauge road
to walk on and tests it thoroughly to see
that it is absolutely safe to before he
ventures tar on it. Mart feels that he is
too faraway from the earth t:> find any
thing very reliable, lie says he wishes
j they had made this railway on the earth
' instead of hanging it up there in the
' clouds, and he says he has a picture of
I himself riding down it. The drives and
I trails in the vicinity of the Alpine Tav
| em are covered in most places with one
\ to three inches of snow, depending of
course 011 their relationship with ihe sun,
1 and while the sun has taken refuge be
hind a cloud we experience a regular
winter temperature, but with the exercise
of walking, and the appearance of the
bright genial sunshine in a few moments,
our blood.begins to warm and we take 011
I new life until we feel that we are boys
again in this pure mountain air; at least
I can speak for my immediate companion
and myself, lie is a young man from
| Maine, aged about 22 which makes him
| practically a boy—and 1 am close beside
him. With a little more of the exhilerat
ing exercise, and a lew observations from
some of the several view points along the
mountain drives, where a perfect enchant
ment of scenery is spread out before us,
far beyond and all around us, far down
below us into the abyssmal depths of
gorge and canon, and still above us, the
towering summit of the mount on which
we stand, 1,100 feet higher than we are.
Wo needed no other inspiration to bring
us to the decision that this was a desirable
thing for us to stand on and look down
on everything, except the peaks of a
couple of neighboring mountains that
tower above the summit of Mt. Lowe. So
without even tarrying to exchange friend
ly greetings with the romantic looking
Alpine Tavern, standing there at the
foot of the trail in its very becoming
J garb of Swiss architecture, we take the
j trail and, following along its winding and
j intricate course for two and a half miles,
I stopping at almost every turn to gaze with
j renewed wonuer at the other aud still
j different scenic effects that opened up
before us at each new position we attain
' od by the ever winding and curving of
■ the trail; we find ourselves on the summit
j —the highest point in Mt. Lowe—hav
! ing spent only about three quarters of an
i hour on the trail. The clouds which we
j have begun to associate with on our way
I up the trail, have excerised considerable
influence in the shappitig of the land
scape, and as we climb higher, and get
in among them they arc a very important
factor, and to attempt to plan any obser
vation now, without consulting the clouds
or taking them into consideration, is
equivalent to reckoning without your
host. We stand here on the summit for
awhile, neither of us speaking,dumb witli
amazement at the scenes being enacted
before and around us. In coming up the
the different scenes unfolded,
or opened up to our view, by the different
positions from which we viewed them,
sometimes augmented by cloud effects,
but up here it is different; we stand still,
and the kaleidoscopic changes are pro
duced by the mingled whims of cloud and
sun. The landscape paintings of some
of the masters are truly wonders and in
spire one's very soul with admiration at
the wonderful arrangement of perspective
and coloring. Now the artist who uses
canvas for his picture is handicapped by
lack of space and for proper scope, but
up here in the mountains, a little world
in itself* ami by itself, the artist has made
use of the 'everlasting hills' for his can
vass, whose brush lias been directed by
all the force of nature since the creation,
and all that is beautiful in nature has
been brought into use tor the color effect,
and the picture stands beyond the reach
of criticism. Here it is claimed that on
a clear day wo can see all over Southern
California, and into Nevada and Arizona
and Mexico, and away out to the islands
in the Pacific. We cannot get much
satisfaction out of this claim, however, be
cause we cannot distinguish these dif
ferent states and territories by their looks,
and they have no signs up anywhere with
their names on tlieui, by which we could
distinguish them. The only thing in
tact that we could distinguish from any
thing else, is the Pacific ocean, and this
we cannot see from this point because of
the operation of the clouds iu this direc
tion. It is a novel experience to be up
among the clouds, as well as an inspira
tion, and we forgive them for obstructins
our view to some extent. Well it ha
been an exceedingly long way up this
mountain, and I have been an exceed
ingly long time in getting here and this
will undoubtedly seem an exceedingly
long account of my experience in getting
up here to any who may be unfortunate
enough to read it, so I will not attempt
to retrace my steps until I have had a
good long rest, for which the reader no
doubt will be extremely thankful.
