On Sunday, July 21, the members of the Holy Rosary Church very beconi ingly observed the 21st anniversary of the ordination of their dearly beloved l pastor, the Rev. J. 11. McAdam. Immediately after the celebration of last Mass, Mr. William Dillon on be half of the congregation presented the j Rev. Father with a solid silver, gold plated chalice, a masterpiece of the silversmith's art, as a slight token of the high esteem in which they held him as pastor and teacher So com pletely overcome was the reverand gentleman at this kind manifestation , of love and regard, that for the nonco he was wholly at a loss for suitable j terms with which to express his grati tude. On regaining his composure, in j a few well-timed words, he thanked | the donors for their grand gift, and I gave them to understand that he | would never use the sacred vessel in . the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice j that he would not make a commemora tion of them and that he never would ' be unmindful of them to his dying day. | The committee in charge ofthepre | sentation intended to have the chalice ready for the Fourth of July on which day, ISBO, Father McAdam was raised ; to the sacred ministry by the late Rt. Rev. Tobias Mullen, at Frie, Pa.; but | owing to their inability to obtain the ; article desired, they were obliged to postpone the ceremony to the anni j versary of his advent here. During the Rev. Father's three years pastorate here, he has labored so | earnestly and zealously for the spirit j ual and temporal welfare of his ilock, that he has had the consolation of see j ing his charge prosper and flourish to j such an extent that it is one of the largest in town. By his uniform kindness and cour j tesy to all irrespective of class, creed I or color, the Rev. Father has endeared ! himself to the commuty at large, and ! the writer feels safe in saying that it j is their heartfelt wish that he may be ! spared to celebrate many delightful, returns of the joyous occasion. -.a I Johnsonbnrg, Pa., July 22, 1901. Wire Window Screens Needed. 1 The guests of the Warner House j were treated to a first class midwinter midsummer melodrama on Saturday The scene was laid in the spacious ! crimson and gold dining room, which, | despite the glaring brightness of a July ; afternoon, was converted into a very j successful imitation of a steam-heated winter evening by lighting the gas, after excluding every wandering breeze, and ray of sunshine. The fur nace effect was so admirable that one man fainted while attempting to jerk | open a window shutter. The maids re tained sufficient presence of mind to , telephone to the office that a daring in i stance of aggressiveness had been com- I mitted; and the Prince of the Register ! speedily rode to the rescue on his bike. ' Making a bee-line for the half enclosed ! shutter, he was on the point of closing | it when a lady managed to gasp: "Pray, do order in individual foot stoves " Mr. Hurteau is a polite gentle man, really and truly a polite | gentleman; and touched by the evi dent distress of the person making the plea, he retired without fully accom plishing his purpose. | At this moment the automobile of the loading actor was heard rumbling hastily through the condors. Spring ing from his vehicle ere it had ceased to puff forth volumes of steam, he closed that refractory shutter with a cast iron air that left no doubt of his determination to conquor flics, even if | the guests were killed in the attempt. I And sighing for a "lodge in a garden of cucumbers," they accepted the in i evitable. A Fi.v WITNESS. In Feeble Condition. Dr. Heilman informs the PRESS that I H. R. Dodge, who several months ago I was stricken with paralysis, is very i poorly, at his home on Four Mile. The ! old veteran is a great sufferer. THE FIREMEN'S CONVENTION. Elaborate Preparations are Perfected. A LARUE TIME IS ANTICIPATED Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 14th, 15th and 16th will be a big three days sport in Emporium.

The PRESS hopes to lay before the public a full program at an early date. All visitors who may come to Empor ium can rest assured that they will be , well cared for. Literary Prize Contest.

J., came to Emporium last Monday from Buffalo with an automobile. They remained here over night and then started east for home. Mr. A. Brady and Mr. J. L. Wheeler enjoyed a ride with them as far as Cameron. Serious Freight Wreck. About four o'clock last Tuesday morning a serious freight wreck oc curred about two miles east of Sterling Run, Avrecking about fifteen cars and delaying all trains until noon. No one injured. The Buffalo Flyer, due here at 4:20 a. m., was taken around via Du Bois and Ridgway, arriving here about 9. a. m , four hours late. The wreck was caused by the bursting of the air brake hose. Ample Accommodations. Visiting firemen and others who may visit Emporium during the Firemen's Convention will have no trouble to secure confortable accommodations. The committees have been actively at work for months and nothing has been left undone to make all visitors con fortable. Emporium is noted for its hospitality and during the days of Firemen's week it will be no exception. Be sure and come to Emporium, Aug. 14th, 15th, and 16th. Close Call. Last Sunday morning, about one o'clock, while Martin Lyden, a woods man, was walking down the P. & E. track he was struck by an approaching freight train, being thrown about forty feet. It is a miracle that the man was not ground to pieces. He was carried to the Commercial Hotel and Dr. A. W. Baker called, who found the man was injured internally, severely cut and bruised about the legs, but no bones broken. The injured man's brother, who resides at Austin, was telegraphed for and he arrived on Sunday night. The injured man was taken to Austin hospital on Monday. A Presumptuous Assumption. To the Edilw Cameron County Press : A few months ago there was an un dignified controversy in the local pa pers between two correspondents who signed themselves "Taxpayer" and "Heavy Taxpayer," respectively. I know nothing of the identity of the correspondents, nor have I any recol lection of the particular matter dis cussed; but I do wish to protest against an unwarranted assumption that lay back of some of their appeals, and evi dently determined the choice of their p3cudonyni3. It is the assumption that one's right to be heard upon any sub ject relating to public policies and measures is in proportion to the amount of his tax bill. It is the as sumption that the municipality is a sort of stock company, and, as in a stock company,the holders vote accord ing to the number of their shares, so in the municipality the heavy taxpayer should be allowed a voice in propor tion to the relative amount of his tax bill. It is easy to see whither this assumption leads both in logic and practice. The constitution gives to all, without regard to wealth, an equal right of suffrage, and its intent, there fore, is to shut out the stock company idea of voting from the political sphere. But the man of wealth, who from his experience in business, can scarcely think of any other than the stock com pany idea, is in danger of regarding himself as entirely justified if he cir cumvents the intent ofthe constitution and translates his wealth into terms of political influence through means of I bribery or intimidation. There no doubt are poor men who ! are so lacking in true public spirit and j view,so irresponsible in character or so I actuated by the spirit of malice arid I envy, that they will vote in favor of a | municipal burden simply because it | will be a heavy one to some one else, and only a trifling one to themselves. Bui it is an unwarranted assumption | to imply that responsibility is the pe j culiar attribute of money. There is only i one kind of responsibility that has any ! substantial quality and that is the re j sponsibility ofcharacter, j A man's right to be heard upon mat- I ters of public concern does not depend upon his wealth, but upon his character I and intelligence; and his word should ; extend no farther than these and the ! merits of his views will reach.

FIDE. Plenty of Snakes. Andrew Vogt, while picking berries on Canoe Run, last Monday,ran into a den of monster rattle snakes. Andrew is usually death to the reptiles but after getting away with two five footers and four more showed flglit ho made for home. The woods are fairly alive with snakes and children and ladies should not be allowed to "berry" unless ac companied by men. Burned to Death. A five year old boy of Harrison Smoke, of Dents Run, was burned to death on Saturday afternoon. The boy had gone in t he barn to light a fire cracker, and in the attempt to light the same the hay caught fire and in a few minutes the barn was a heap of ashes. The boy was seen by three or four harvest hands, to pick up a fire cracker and go into the barn, but no danger was apprehended in this, untii a minute later, when the barn was a mass of flames and burned like so much powder. Interment was made in the Hicks Run cemetery on Sunday 1 afternoon. i Don't forget the "Fair" on the 31st. ' Come and bring your friends. NO. 22.
