Sept. sth will be President's Day at tho Pan-Am and the party will go through *hi3 placo the night before by special train. This will no doubt give the people an op portunity to see the distinguished gentleman and bio able cabinet. As the time for the train leaving Washington has not yet been an nounced, it is not known what time they will arrive. Pic-Nic. The Presbyterian Sunday School will hold its annual picnic on Friday of this week in the grove south of the Borough.

All baskets left at the old hardware store of Walker, Howard & Co., by ten o'clock will be delivered on the ground. All baskets should bear the owners tag.

Convention Notes. The following are extracts from neighboring papers in speaking of the firemen's convention held at this place: The banquet to delegates was very highly spoken of, the ladies of the Episcopal church having it in charge.— Kane Leader. • § t A pleasant social feature of the con vention was a banquet served in the opera house by the ladies of the Em amuel church.— Elk Democrat. V The Emporium firemen and people generally did their best to entertain the visitors and they succeeded far beyond the expectations of all.—McKean Miner. v This was as nearly a temperance af fair as a firemen's convention well could be. No intoxicating beverage were served at the banquets and no free beer was served any place. Let St. Marys follow the good example I next year.—Ridgway Advocate. * • A vote of thanks was extended to Emporium by the assembled delegates and members for the cordial welcome which had been accorded them. The convention then adjourned to partici j pate of the annual banquet. Those present report that this feature of the entertainment was a brilliant affair and 1 reflects everlasting credit upon the hos pitality of Emporium. Nothing seemed too good for the visiting firemen and no sacrifice appeared too great when their I pleasure or comfort was in considera tion.—St. Marys Gazette. Star Hose Company is home from the convention and is united to a man in praising the reception that was tender ed them at Emporium last week by the organization there as well as by the Emporium people in general. In this estimate the company is joined by the band boys who were present. Both organizations will watch out for an opportunity to reciprocate. But for the inclement weather the Emporium convention would have been the most successful since the organization was formed. As it is, the satisfaction is very general.—Port Allegany Reporter. POPULAR HOTEL PROPERTY FOR SALE —The well known Sizerville Hotel, located at Sizer Mineral Springs, six [ miles from Emporium, on line of Penn ! sylvania R. R. is offered for sale at a i bargain, including the furniture. Pos- I session will be given immediately. The Hotel may be rented by proper person. This property includes the mineral spring and water privilege, which can be made one ot the most at tractive resorts in the country. Apply to H. W. Martindale, Sizerville, Pa., or my attorneys, Green & Shaffer, Em -1 porium. Pa. 23 6t Public Schools to Open. The public schools of Emporium will open Monday, Sept. '2nd, for the winter session. It is hoped that all pupils, both of tlio grades and high school, will bo able to start the first day i:i order that they may not fall be hind thoir classes. The '.board of education has spared no pains, in having the echool rooms both comfortable and beautiful. The Progress school building has been painted and both buildings have been carefully cleaned and set in order for opening of school. In purchasing books and supplies our school board has been exceedingly liberal and all pupils will bo provided with all the appliances for obtaining an education. The schools, from the primary to the high school, will follow a carefully ar ranged course of study, which will be of very great value to the teacher and the pupil. With the year's work care fully planed and the books so abund antly furnished for carrying out this plan the work of the coming year should be very good. But parents and pupils should re member one thing, i. e the business of the pupils for the next eight months is to attend school and give their time entirely to school duties. A pupil can no more succeed in school life by be ing absent or tardy part of the time than a mail can succeed in any ordi nary business in life by being absent from his place of business or neglect ful of the duties pertaining to that business. Pupils should be at school every day and all day if they are to ac complish the best results. Fight With Strikers. FARMER, KY., Aug. 23.— (8p1.)~ During the strike at Buckwalter's saw ; mill about 40 strikers attempted to force i the planing mill to shut down. They | were prevented by Bert Buckwalter. In the flght Buckwalter was knocked down and handled roughly, but suc : ceeded in preventing theshuttingdown. I Later secured reinforce ments and arms, and, to the number of 40 men, made a second attempt to shut I the mill down. The strikers were again I thwarted by Mr. Buckwalter arming himself and coming to the assistance of j his son. Indications are now that the differences will be amicably adjusted. , The above article refers to our former I townsman J, R. Buckwalter and son j Bert. Look out for Them. Tramps have been operating in the i Western part of the State in which a some of the gang have sores on their arms which they use as bait to arouse , the sympathy ot residents. They tell a j hard-luck story about being employes ! in the big steel mills and, becoming I unable to work, were laid off and now I are trying to secure money enough to j pay their way to their sister's home in ! Philadelphia. An effort will be made I to secure the offenders and those who I are paid a visit will do well to immedi ! ately notify the police.—Ex. Enjoyed a Short Vacation. I E. J. Cotter and John Williams re ; leased from jail this week are again j occupying quarters in fort Swope, the former for attempting to tap the War ner House till; the latter for fighting, j The attempt at robbery of Cotter was audacious. With four detectives on the hotel porch and several others on the premises, the night clerk showing j a guest to his room, he made the dive, t but was detected and lodged in jail. , The case will be pressed. The Emmanuel Church Corner Stone Service. The corner stone of tho new Em manuel church will be laid on next Wednesday, September 4th, at 4 p. no., i by the Rt. Reverend Cortland White head, S. T. D., Bishop of the diocese. Archdeacon Cole and a number of the other clergy have also signified their I intentions to be present. ' If you want to Buy Anything,— Advertise in the PRESS A Big Day's Cutting. Seven men making a cutting crew in the hemlock woods on Medix Hun in ono day recently cut, peeled and sawed over 25,000 feet of hemlock. At prevailing prices per thousand this would have made wages for tho men §5 each. It is thought to bo the high est mark of one day's cutting by a crew. Fruit Prospect Poor. Tho fruit prospect is said to be not any good in this state, and to be even poorer in the West. New England will have some apples to spare, and Conneticut will supply all New Eng land's peaches. Pears will not be abundant anywhere, but what there are will be of extra size and quality. Of plums there seems to be an abund ance. In this state, it is said, in the apple growing counties a short crop is looked for, and in some localities it is an almost total failure.—Ex. Mystery Cleared Up. It is now learned on good authority that the party who was found dead at Warner House, last Wednesday after noon, registered under an assumed name and that his real name was Chas F. Dunham, of Bolivar, N. Y. » It is also generally believed that be committed suicide, a very probable motive for such a .t being that Dun ham, had three days previous to his death, been guilty of passing worth less checks on a Mr. Hickok, a hard ware merchant of Ceres, >.'. Y., and who immediately upon learning of the fraud practiced upon him had caused a warrant to be issued for Dunham's arrest. Knight Templar Train Wrecked. By word received from one of the delegation of Masons who left here last Sunday, tor Louisville, Ky., they must have had a very exciting time. Following is an account of their ex perience: "The train conveying the Knight Templar's to the conclave, wrecked near Baileys Mills, Ohio, on the B. & O. railroad, about mid-night Sunday. The engineer was so badly injured that he died on the way to the hospital. The fireman was also badly hurt and may die. None of the passengers were seriously injured although one man was thrown through a window. The engine, baggage car and one sleeper was wrecked. The accident was caused by running over two horses. The engine being a complete wreck. Trafic was delayed several hours." Criminal Court Proceedings. Criminal court convened at half past one o'clock, Monday afternoon. Hon. H. M. McClure, P. J., 17th Judi cial district presiding in the absence of Hon. C. A. Mayer, who is enjoying a European tour.

The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dininey, of Kane will be pained to learn of the death of their six year : old son, tho sad event occurring daring a visit with relatives in Tioga county. While engaged in pushing some cars j upon the trestle at tho Emporium fur | nace last week, four ears broke loose | just as the engine reached the level at the top ofthegrado and the momentum received was sufficient to send the cars with much force against the bumper at the end of the track and one of the cars plunged headlong off tho trestle. Fortunately no one was injured, al though conductor McDonough was obliged to tako short siding for safety. A receipe for the drink habit is to eat tomatoes sprinkled with salteonsuming as much as possible. Let the eating of tomatoes and salt be continued for sev eral days and the tomato eater will find liquor offensive, ungrateful to the stomach so much that it will be thrown up.

The Mirror, a weekly journal pub lished in the Minnesota Penitentiary, in a recent issue makes the following heartrending wail: "Why is it that from the first incep tion of our paper to the present time we have never had an editor to sojourn in our midst? Other professions [are well represented. Preachers we have had enough to furnish subsistence to an African chief for a year; doctors in sufficient number to depopulate a State, and enough lawyers to establish a good sized colony in Hades. But editors— not one." Commenting on this statement a friend at our elbow observes that he "always thought there ought to be more editors in tho penitentiaries." j Ex.
