CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST ig, igoi. Communication From nr. Howard. Editor Cameron County Press:— I wish to take very serious objection to your very scant notice of the Fire men's Convention, held here last week. Your remarks were favorable enough, but I do not think that even your absence this week, in managing the j Republican State Convention, to be excuse enough for the scant report you gave of an affair BO important in our history as to call for the expenditure by our home people of over three thousand dollars, and to hold the Borough's undivided attention for a week. It shut down the Iron Works and saw mills and was a financial damage to Mr. Brady and our lumbermen, for which wc are sorry, but otherwise the Convention was decidedly a good thing. Mr. Seger of the East Ward clothing store, says he never before had such good trade, and the Church eating stands all cleared upwards of SIOO.OO apiece, notwithstanding the terrible rain. Firemen represent the best idea of all religious teachings:— that is, to use God's means of prevent ing or controlling the destructive ten dency of vital forces instead of sitting down to cry or pray. Likewise Volun teer Firemen fulfill the unselfish duty of giving prompt assistance to a neigh bor in need, without distinction as to nationality or friendship. Leaving Mr. Kaye and myself out of the question, special mention should bo made of the efficient services of Chairman, C. W. Shaffer, who edited all the posters and printed matter, besides promptly and well attending to all the correspon dence, and to whose ability we are mostly indebted for the general success of the Convention. The people at large are entitled to credit for their general cleaning up and painting, as well as liberal sub scriptions, likewise Mr. A A. McDon ald, A. F. Vogt andS. E. Murry should be commended for the good natured persistance with which they collected the large amount of money. No less mention should be made of Mr. Henry Wheaton for the excellent race track and ball grounds arranged and managed by himself and the Are police. We should be glad to know, that we are a convention city of abil ity, glad to know that our home fire men are as well dressed and well be haved as any that visited us and we should be glad to know that we have a Chief of Police who can protect our property and who made it safe and pleasant for women and children to visit any part of the town during the biggest crowd we ever had. Now Mr. Editor, if I have not already said too much I hope you will allow ine to men tion the Repasz Band which furnished an elegant treat to our people and gave such general satisfaction that many think the music alone was worth all our effort. The Convention developed very few silly girls or foolish young men, but brought to light, much good will, and broad minded generosity among our people and proved that Firemen's Con ventions are a benefit to the public morals and general blessing when rightly managed. Respectfully submitted, JOSIAII HOWARD. Emporium, Pa., Aug. 24tli, 1901. In reply to the above article we would say that when we reported the con vention's doings in the article above referred to, we believed we had done ample justice to all, as that was our intention, although lack of space forbade our publishing a stenographic report of theconvention's proceedings. As for Emporium's reputation as a convention city, that was established years ago, for our people are noted for their ability to take care of a crowd and accord the best of entertainment to visitors. We also feel that at such times it is a better observance of the demands of good taste for our town to receive favorable mention of its hospitality and entertainment from our visitors rather than for us to sound our own praises. (See the kind expressions of appreciation from our neighbors in another column, where we have printed a few commendatory notices,clipped at random from other papers.) The success achieved by the mem bers of the various committees who so generously contributed of their time and efforts, speaks volumes for itself and any words of individual comment or praise by us would sound idle in deed, when compared with the splen did work which these several commit teemen have accomplished. Personally we have nothing but the highest regard for Mr. Howard; as he is always foremost in advocating and promoting that which pertains to the welfare of our town, and we regret that he should have taken exceptions to the article in last weeks issue.

Their Secret is Out. All Sadieville, Ky., was curious to learn the cause of the vast improvement in the health of Mrs. S. P.

E. church, at | Sterling Run was a highly beneficial and | pleasing event j Mrs. Sisson is possessed of strong elo j eutionary powers which, coupled with in tence heartfelt earnestness, and keen logical argument, made a deep, and last ing impression upon her audience, for good. Committees will be fortunate who secure her services. ON OF HER AUDIENCE. The Kind of nen Who Never Marry. "There was never yet a bachelor of forty whose heart has not been at some woman's feet to take or leave as she would," says a well-known writer, and this, generally speaking, is absolutely true. However, there is one type ef man, a very rare one, fortunately, who form «i mixture of cold love of self and mis erliness rigidly eschews matrimony. Ot such a one the story is told that, being on one occasion somewhat im pressed by the bright eyes and red lips of a certain damsel, he gave some thought to the married state and pon dered o'er the advisability of entering it. Racked with doubt, he ordered a large meat pie to be prepared, and on its appearance divided it in half. There was ample! Then the reflection cross ed his mind that in course of time a subdivision migh be necessary. The portions were divided by a trembling hand into two. He looked, hesitated, and scraped them all on his own plate. The damsel had to find another lover. Men who regard marriages as "an insane desire to provide for another fellow's daughter," or "the picturesque gateway to a commonplace estate," are far better unmarried. The temporary devotion of their little souls would make no woman the happier. 120 GAL NOTICES. NICE furnished rooms 10 rent near the school house. Apply at this office. 36-3t.
