EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 25,1901.
Rev, J. H. flcAdam.
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

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. For
months the several committees have
been laboring zealously to make the
reception to the hundreds of visiting
firemen up to the highest expectations,
.and an elaborate program has been
perfected for the entertainment of the
delegates, firemen and all who come to
Emporium.
The first day's work will commence
on Wednesday, at 2 p. m., when the
delegates and members of the Associa
tion will convene at the Court House,
elect officers and-name place of meet
ing for 1902. An evening session of
the Association will be held at same
place at 8 p. m., to perfect the plans
for the following two days sport, when
the Association will adjourn to the
opera house where a Banquet will be
served the delegates, members of the
Association and invited guests. The
Banquet will be served by the Ladies
Guild of Emmanuel Church and no
doubt it will be an elaborate spread.
On thursday, at 1 p. in., the big parade
will take place, composed of over one
thousand firemen, exclusive of Em
porium department. Union City,
Warren, Kane, Ridgway, Bradford
City Paid Department, Port Allegany,
Coudersport, Renovo and other com
panies have responded to the call The
great Firemen's Ball will lie held at
the opera house this evening and it
is expected to be largely attended.
On Friday, commencing at ten
o'clock, the Prize Drills for cash prizes
wili take place. At two o'clock the
hose, hub and hook and ladder races
v. U1 take place, also for cash prizes.
Band stands will be erected and con
cert music will be rendered by Repaz
and Emporium Bands. The Cunning
ham farm, west of Emporium has been
secured for base ball games, the dates
and time to be announced in the near
future. This pleasant location will be
entered from Riverside Park, over the
bridge at foot of Broad street, thus
obviating the crossing of the railroad
bridge, which will be forbidden
Hackett's Island, south ot the grist
mill, has been leased and a good racing
track has been made, where all con
tests will take place.
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.
Question No. 7 has received several
correct answers. The responses in
substance as follows:

His birthplace being unknown, var
ious cities claimed the honor, and
"Ssven Grecian cities contended fir a Homer
dead,
Wherein the living Homer begged his bread.

ties is not seldom the truest wisdom,
and a great empire and little minds go

Registered Pharmacist.
At a recent meeting of the State
Pharmaceutical Examining Board, held
at Williainsport, July lfith, one of our
popular and deserving young men, E.
W. Yeagle, Ph. G. B. S., now employed
in Hon. L. Taggart's drug store, was
an applicant for a permanent certifi
cate. We are informed that he passed
a very creditable examination and will
bfl granted a certificate of registration.
Mr. Yeagle stood well in a class of two
hundred.

John F. Parsons, Esq., is completing
one of the handsomest stone walks, in
front of his residence and store, ever
laid in Emporium. It is of Ohio flag
stone and should last a life time.
Emmanuel Church Notices.

Sunday school will be held on Thurs
day, August Bth, in the grove on the
lower side of the new road opposite the

L T ntil Sept. Ist, there will he no
sermon at the Sunday evening service.
Automobile Tourists.
Two New Jersey gentlemen, Mr.
Elwood C. Potter and a Mr. Frost, of
Vineland, N. 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.

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.
