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. Whittaker,
who had for a long time, endured untold
suffering from a chronic bronchial trouble.
"It's a.l due to Dr. King's New Dis
covery," writes her husband. It com
pletely cured her and also cured our little
grand-daughter of a severe attack of
Whooping Cough. It positively cures
Coughs, Colds, LaGrippe, Bronchitis, all
Throat and Lung troubles. Guaranteed,
bottles 50c and 81.00. Trial bottles free
at L. Taggart's drug store.
Sterling Run.
The gospel temperance recital and leet
j urc given by Mrs. Carrie Sisson on Sun
! day evening last at the M. 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.
