Criminal Court, Aug. 26th. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1901. Great Slaughter of Copper Heads. Snakes almost innumerable are giv ing the men employed on the construc tion of the West Branch Valley railroad eansiderable trouble. According to the Clearfield Journal, copperheads are most numerous and almost as plenty as negroes or Italians. Bert Gressemyer who boards at the Mansion house, visits the camps at Shawsville and Deer Creek, and in two visits in one week lie killed fifty-one of these snakes. In a distance of a half mile from the main road to W. B. Hughes's camp he killed seven, and "Billy" Hughes, being skeptical, went along the route and counted them and confirmed Gresse niyer's statement. The blasting has started them 011 the move and the man or woman who travels along the route and does not see a dozen or more is a back number. The gangs of laborers have each one of their number they call tha "snake foreman" whose duty it is to keep a look out for these veno mous reptiles and protect the men at work. The snake foreman, it is said, of a Deer Creek gang, killed and piled 102 in two days, and who has witnesses who saw and counted them. These, in some cases have been thrown in the river and people living along the stream are protesting as some cattle drinking frbm the river have been poisoned and died. The state board of health should bo notified at once before human life is endangerod by the pollution mention ed. Should Have Lower Rates. The question of railroad excursion rates to the Pan-American grows more pressing as the season advances. It is impossible to make people accept the railroad managers' contention that rates are now reasonably low, when they are much higher than the excur sion rates to Buffalo and Niagara Falls which have prevailed in former seasons. People argue that by refusing to visit the fair at the higher rates they will eventually force a reduction. Conse quently, many are staying away. This is as injurious to the railroads as it is to the Fair. They have their roads and their equipment. The Fair gives them an opportunity to use both to the fullest capacity all summer. It would cost them no more to run their trains when filled with passengers than to run them half filled. The profit would be much greater. And the Exposition, in which the railroads are all directly interested, wouid thrive on their liber ality. Why cannot the railroads meet the popular expectation in this matter? —Buffalo Express. Great Musical Treat. Buffalo is to have a grand-opera sea son next October. The Maurice Grau Opera Company, which will open in Montreal on October 7th, will then go to Toronto and from that point will come to Buffalo, giving five perform ances of opera here on October 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th.

Ashland Telegram: A case stated was presented to his honor in which it was shown that the county treasurer withheld from Schuykill Haven the sum of $54 40 as commission on the amount of liquor license due that borough and paid the same into the treasury for the use of] the county Judge Shay, in a brief opinion, holds that the money was unlawfully retain ed, and entered judgement in favor of the borough for the amount with in terest. This is an important decision and means that every borough and township in the county must be reim bursed by the county for the amounts withheld by the county treasurer during the past six years, amounting in all to about $12,500. Letter to Judge Brennan. Emporium, Pa. Dear Sir: Congressman Belden, of Syracuse, painted his Thousand-Islands cottage in "92 with Devoe; and painted it again in '99, with the same, of course. Takes 80 gallons. "What! does it last only seven years?" Depends 011 what you paint for. No one can tell how long a job of paint is going to last in any particular case. The paint may last ten years and the color five. A summer cottage is painted for color, of course; it is also painted to keep out water, to keep it from rotting. Seven years is a good long time for paint to look fresh —depends 011 the color though; some colors last longer than others. Three is too long for some of the prettiest colors. Nothing pays j better, in building a house, than a I good job of paint; and nothing pays ; better, in keeping it up, than repaint | ing as soon as the paint shows signs of I impairment. But this is to keep it sound. For the looks, you may paint lit whenever the freshness is oil". It's a j matter of color; not of paint. Yours truly, 42 F. W. DEVOE & Co. Charles Johnson, aged 42, was found dead to-day in a clump ofbushes along the public highway not over six hundred feet from the First National bank, at Kane yesterday. The dis covery was made by a boy, who im mediately notified the authorities, and the coroner is now investigating. A Definition of Worship. The late Robert G. Ingersoll gave the following definition of the word '•wor ship," which is worth committing to memory: To do justice, to defend the right, to be strength for the weak, a shield for the dflenceless, to raise the fallen, to keep peace between neighbors and na tions. This is worship. Work is worship. Labor is the best prayer. To fell the forest, to subdue the earth; to delve in mines for the love of woman. This is worship. To build a home, to keep a lire on the hearth, to fill with joy the heart of her who rocks the cradle of jtour child. This is worship. The poor boy ships before the mast — comes home and puts within his moth er's hand a purse snatched from the peril of the sea. This is worship. The poor widow working night and day keeping the fatherless together, bearing every burden for the love of babes. This is worship. The sad and weeping wife stays with and bears the insults of a brutal hus band for the sake of little ones. This is worship. The husband, when his wife is pre maturely old with grief and pain, sits by her bed and holds her thin, wan hands as rapturously and kisses them as passionately as when they were dimpled. This is worship, The wife clings to the husband fallen, lifts him from the gutter of degrada tion, holds him to her heart until her love makes him once more a man. This is worship. The industrious father, the toiling, patient mother, practice every self-de nial to educate their children—to lift them with loving pride above them selves. This is worship. And when such children are ashamed of such parents because they are home ly and wrinkled and ignorant—this is blasphemy. The boy with his mother's kiss warm on his lips fights for his native land fights to free his fellowmen—dies by his guns. This is worship. He who loves worships. Why Some Towns Die. More towns die for want of confi dence on the part of the business men, and lack of public spirit, than from the rivalry of neighboring towns or adverse surroundings. When a man in search of a home or business location goes to a town and finds everything brimful of hope and enthusiasm over the pros pects of the hope and everybody at work to build up the town, he soon be comes imbued with the same spirit, and as a result he drives down his stake and goes to work with the same interest, says an exchange. When, however, he goes to a town and every one expresses doubt and apprehension, in the future prosperity of the place, moping about and indulging in complaints about the imaginary evils which are likely to be fall the town, he naturally feels it is no place for him, and at once shakes the dust from his feet, while he pulls with all possible speed for some other town. Consequently, try and make a live, en terprising progressive town out of the one in which you live. When you are working for or saying a good thing for your own town, you are accomplishing all the more for yourself. What the Bicycle has Done. A Southern legislator, in advocating the passage of a bill favoring cyclists, delivered himself of the following in teresting passage: "If the history of the good the bicycle has done should be written in its fullest form, with all the details of each in dividual recited as they are in law books, it would fill more volumes than are found in a law library. It has cured tens of thousands and helped hundreds of thousands of others of a variety of ailments that range over nearly the entire list known to medical practice. It has coaxed the sedentary into the open as nothing else could. It has taken the narrow minded abroad and taught them to love nature. It has been a mode of free transit from the tenements to the woodland for those who were ignorant of pastoral loveli ness. It has educated the farmer and statesman up to the economy of good roads and resulted in the improvement of thousands of miles of highways. It has taken our boys from the saloons and our girls from the gossip circle. It has given them joy and healthful exer cise and improved their preceptives in a way that will result in a healthier and nobler posterity." An exchange says that if the farmers would follow these instructions they need never goto any expense to dehorn their cattle. Buy a five cent stick of potash, and when the little horns make the first sign of starting on the calves, wet them over with this caustic stick, and the calf will never know that nature intended that it should have horns.
