Last thursday afternoon the citi
zens of Kniporium and surround
ing country, filled the Court House
to overflowing and hundreds turn
ed away, unable to get into the
room, that they might do reverence
to the dead President. Ex-Bur
gess \V. 11. Howard, at the request
of Burgess E. O. Bard well , called
the meeting to order. The servi

"Nearer My God to Thee." After
the hymn, Rev. F. W. McClelland,
of the Free Methodist church, read
from the Scripture.
lion, .1. C. .Johnson was then
introduced and delivered the fol
lowing able address:
HON. J. C. JOHNSON.
Ladies and Gentlemen:—
The work of an assassin is done.
The President is dead. Our people
have mournfully witnessed the passage
of the funeral train, and to-day, at this
very hour his body is being laid in its
final resting place in his home city, a
little distance from the western border
of our own state.
We assemble to pay a tribute of re
spect to the memory of our dead Presi
dent, William McKinley.
Our whole people mourn with hearts
bowed down and the sympathies of all
civilized nations are shown on this
occasion.
This was unlike the assassination of
either Lincoln or Garfield. This stoke
came out of a clear sky. It is attribut
able solely to the horrible doctriues of
anarchism, and was confessedly an act
inspired by the lectures of one promi
nent Anarchist.
We are therefore confronted with a
serious and most difficult problem.
What can be done to suppress anar
chism in this country? Can we rid the
country of the unholy band, or must
we for the sako of free speech and a
free press submit to have the very
foundations of our government up
rooted and done.
Public sentiment demands the sup
pression of the order of anarchists and
it must and will be destroyed?
But we turn from thoughts of the
unholy wretch to contemplate the
virtues of his victim, with sorrowful i
hearts.
What are the legacies of McKinley? '
When Mark Antony sought to win the
love of the populace for dead Caesar
he brought forth the Will of Caesar
and read that he had remembered each
roman citizen with a comfortable leg
acy.
May we not now bring forth the life
of McKinley and find that our love and
respect is due to his memory because
he has left to each and every citizen
an invaluable legacy in the example of
his grand and noble life. I do most
confidently assume in this presence
that there is no occasion for me to I
dwell upon the facts. You know •
them. His early life was of the ordin- i
ary kind. In early life his limitations !
in estate and health were marked. Ilis !
early enlistment and his brave career
as a soldier of the war of the rebellion
were first indications of his great per
sonal worth, and his strong love for
and unselfish devotion to the cause of
his country.
His return to private life; his mar- :
riage; his entry upon professional life; !
and his entry into politics, were only j
the ordinary events of the ordinary i
man of his time, accomplished in the I
usual and ordinary way.
Once embarked however, supreme |
tests were bound to come. First busi
ness failure tested his personal integ
rity. He surrendered all his property
to pay debts. He was an honest man.
Next great political honors were tend
ered him in a national convention but
he promptly declined them, because to
accept would raise a question about his
erood faith and his pledges and his
honor.
His integrity in both private and
political life was thus tested and not
found wanting.
His ability developed at every stage
of promotion, and his progress was as
sured steady,and uninterrupted. Prom
congressman to governor and then to
president, and finally to re-election,
was a succession of natural triumphs
He was master of the great political
problems of his day, the tariff and
finance. He successfully vindicated
his theories His progressive and
broad-minded statesmanship was ap
parent in his every public act and ad
dress. You will long remember the
address delivered the day before he
was shot, fn this ho said: "The per
iod of exclusiveness is past. The ex
pansion of our trade and commerce is
the pressing problem. Commereial
wars are unprofitable. A policy of
good will and friendly trade relations
will prevent reprisals. Reciprocity
treaties are in harmony with the spirit
of the timesjmeasures ofretaliation are
not." Here is foreshadowed a policy
to promote our markets abroad. A
policy necessary for the protection of
American labor. A policy calculated
to stimulate the growth of our iudus
tries, and expand our commerce.
Another view oi'his character. The
noble spirit of tin's great man ar<l his
christian character and sentiment ir»
grandly shown by another extract
from the same address. It sound.-;
now like a valedictory. lie said in
this: "Let us ever remember that ou.-
interest is in concord not conflict and
that our real eminence rests in victor
ies of peace, not those of war.
We hope that all who are represent-
Ed here may be moved to higher and
nobler effort for their own and the
world's good and that out of this city
may come not on'iy greater commerce
and trade for us all but more essential
than these, relations of mutual respect,
confidence and friendship which will
deepen and endure.
Our earnest prayer is that God will
graciously vouchsafe prosperity,happi
ness and peace to all our neighbors
and like blessings to all the peoples
and powers of earth."
This was President MeKinley'H last
public utterance. Here is a legacy of
a great hearted, broad-minded chris
tian statesman.
And such arc the legacies of McKin
ley. First—The example of a private
life full of manly and christian virtues.
Second—A public and official life full
of ability, honor and integrity. And
lastly a statesmanship that was broad
minded and strong and progressive.
The death of this great man was
more than a national loss, it was a
world loss.
I do not venture to speak of the ex
alted christian character of President
McKinley for it will be sure of better
treatment at the hands of those who
follow me.
I do not venture to tread upon the
hallowed ground of the private fireside
or draw the picture of tender, loving
kindness within that sacred precinct.
But in all these are also legacies to
humanity that will entitle the Ameri
can people to place the name of Wil
liam McKinley beside the imperish
able names of Washington, Lincoln
and Garfield.
Capt. Johnson's eloquent ad
dress was followed by a masterly
address by Rev. O. S. Melzler, pas- j
tor of First Methodist Episcopal i
church, delivered in an easy and !
forcible manner, reflecting great
credit to the eminent divine. rp he I
Rev. gentleman's remarks were;
not reduced to writing else we !
should take pleasure in publishing
the same.
A choir composed of about fifty j
voices, under the directorship of;
Hon. I. K. Hockley, Mrs. W. H.
Howard organist, sang the presi-■
dent's favorite hymn, "Lead, '
Kindly Light." It was an inspir-'
iug sight to see every religions dei
nomination, Catholic and Protest
ant, doing honor to our lamented j
and departed chieftain.
Hon. I. K. Hockley was the
next speaker and we take
pleasure in giving our readers his
able address.
HON. I. K. HOCKLEY.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are called upon to-day to par
ticipate in the largest funeral that the I
American people were ever called
upon to conduct. Seventy-seven mil
lion American freemen, in thought
and prayer, follow the mortal remains
of William McKinley to their final rest
ing place. With solemn tread and sad
countenances millions of warm heart- j
ed, patriotic citizens turn their faces
toward the little city of the preat
State of Ohio,and drop a tear because
the hand of the assassin has stricken j
down one of God's noblemen;oneupon ;
whom the sovereign people had be
stowed the highest honor on earth. In I
the mighty conflict for political su- |
premacy less than a year ago our peo
pie were divided, but now that law has
been violated, and happiness turned
into sorrow. There is no man worth j
the name who would not gladly have j
stayed the hand that fired the fatal
shot, or mourns in sorrow that a life so i
full of honor and so universally beloved i
should be cut down by an assassin. j
In the heat of political battle we !
are apt to forget the man and remem- !
ber only what he represents. We are 1
wrought upon by a tirade of abuse, ■
contempt, ridicule and argument until j
reason gives away to passion, patriot- '
ism to party, arid principles to ambi- j
tion. We err in judgement when we
battle only for fixed principles, for
getting the man who shall apply them,
and forgetting, likewise, that immortal
principles in the keeping of tainted
character only serve to intrench liim
behind powerful battlements while he
fails to use the means at hand to the
glory of the country and the honor of
his high office, fn the strife of politi
cal warfare we appeal to the head, and
we believe that strife, discord, commo
tion and confusion sweep away reason
and we follow blindly the god of .am
bition until the nobler instincts of our
nature are warped, reason dethroned
and anarchy follows a3 the legitimate
fruit of passion.
To-day at Canton, Ohio, is enacted
the last scene in the terrible drama
which laid low the head of the greatest
and most glorious nation on earth
All that is mortal of William McKinley
is consigned to its last resting place
In this sad event,l desire to lay upon
his grave a simple but devout token of
sorrow. An humble tribute to the
greatness and goodness of a fellow
man whose peers) elevated him to the
highest pinnacle of fame —the presi
dency of the United States. In this
tribute there is no sacrifice of princi
ple; no humiliation to the groat party
we love; no hypocritical display of
patriotism; no concealment of senti
ment and no hope of reward. 1 plead
guilty to an exalted opinion of William
McKinley. I plead guilty to tho fnith
that in the hands of William McKin
ley, our country was safe. No great
calamity will befall a nation whose
"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß.
EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20.1901.
head reflects tho sublime character,
christian courage, noble manhood and
lofty statesmanship for which William
McKinley was noted.
To say that he was faultless, would
be ascribing to him divine attributes.
To say that we endorsed all his politi
cal convictions and teachings would
brand us as hypocrites. To say that
William McKinley did not give us an
ideal administration, would convict
us either of falsehood or iguorance.
ife who assumes the reign of govern
ment under Divine guidance is certain
to fulfill the expectations of his fellow
citizens and to lead the nation to
greatness and grandeur, looking only
to the prosperity, welfare and happi
ness of its people. The ruler thus in
spired not alone gives security and
stability to his own government but
las influences extend to foreign lands,
spreading civilization, Christanity,
humanity, freedom and happiness
over the whole world, leading all na
tions to nobler deeds and higher asper
ations.
Can we measure the influence of such
a character by the span of life? Will
the world forget William McKiuley in
three score years and ten? If there
were no great events in his public life
to immortalize his memory, his private
lite, his charity for the poor and op
pressed, his sympathies for humanity,
his devotion and solicitude for his
feeble and disabled wife, his great
faith in God and firm Christian char
acter, all exposed to view by the pub
lic offices he held, these traits alone
would unshrine his memory in the
hearts of generations unborn, and the
spirit that has made the world great
and grand would emulate and empha
size the life that taught us that-eat
responsibilities are best conserved by
strong adherence to private virtue and
noble Christian character.
To-day, without regard to party or
sect, creed or color, the mighty army
of American manhood and woman
hood marches with solemn mien and
tread, in silent prayer and inspired
music, chanting the immortal poem of
liishop Newman, "Lead Kindly Light
Amid the Encircling Gloom," and sing
ing the last prayer of William McKin
ley, "Nearer, My God, to Thee, Nearer
to Thee."
Farewell, farewell.
Rev. Father Downey, of St.
Mark's Catholic Church, closed the
addresses with an eloquent tribute
to the departed and captured the
audience with a beautiful tribute.
The Rev. gentleman, like Rev.
Metzler, spoke without notes,
therefore we are unable to repro
duce the same, greatly as we re
gret the fact.
'1 lie entire audience joined in
singing "America," when, after
prayer by Kev. J. M. Robertson,
of Eminanual Church, the meeting
adjourned. Our citizens feel that
the Memorial Services were very
appropriately conducted and will
bear comparison with those in
in much larger towns.
We are pleased to note that
similar services were conducted in
all the towns in the county and
equally well attended and eloquent
addresses delivered.

Death of L. R. Reed.
The PRESS, as well as the many
friends of L. R. Reed, of Oil City, will
be pained to learn of that gentleman's
death, which occured Sept. 11th, of
typhoid fever. H. W. Martindale, of
Sizerville, attended tho funeral on Sat
urday, 14th. Mr. Reed was the senior
member of the Enterprise Milling Co.,

Gasoline Explosion.
Last Saturday evening when Fast
Line train was passing Montandon
brakeman Reynolds went to the closet
to ascertain why the gasoline would
not flow into the lamps, striking a
match. Immediately an explosion
took place, burning severely many

and two others damaged.
Democratic Convention.
The Democrats of Cameron county
met at Court House last Friday and
placed the following gentlemen in
nomination: Associate Judge, A. C.
Goodwin, Shippen; County Treasurer,
Charles W. Shaffer The nominations
are very creditable and now the
hand shaking will commence and tho
campaign liar and leg-puller will ho
much in evidence. The ticket is a
good one but not quite r.s good as tho
Republican nominees. Mr. Goodwin
served two terms as county commis
sioner. Mr. Shaffer was the nominee
of his party three y errs ago and made
a hot and close fight. Now, let the
band play.
Apology.
During the excitement incident to
the death of President McKinley, re
quiring an extra amount of work in
the preparation of last week's PRESS,
we regret exceedingly the obituary
notice on Hon. Samuel Smith, of
Sterling Run, was accidently omitted.
The Judge had been an invalid for
several years and no doubt a great
sufferer.
Judge Smith had resided in this
count}' since 1824, having moved here
from Lock Haven with his parents
when he was an infant; he was closely
identified with the early history of this
section. In politics he was a democrat
ot the Bourbon stripe and held many
offices of honor and trust, tho most im
portant being Asociate Judge for five
years from 1870 to 1875, and postmaster
under President Cleveland.
He is survived by his wife and four
children: John E , Melvin, Mary and
B. E.
The funeral took place at Messiah
church, Sterling Run, Sept. 16th, and
was very large attended. The services
were conducted by Rev. Samuel Eber
sole, the pastor, assisted by the Rev.
Faus, of Sinnamahoning, M.E., charge.
A large number of Emporium lodge,
No. 382, F. & A. M., drove from Em
porium to Sterling Run and conducted
the Masonic ceremony.
Beautiful Fall Wedding at Sinnama
honing.
A pretty appointed fall wedding was
that of Miss GRETTA MAY, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Amos T. Swartwood of

the M. E. Church, Sinnamahoning,

The maid of honor was Miss Harriet
Marie Shafer, sister of the groom, who
was gowned like the bride, in white
silk. The bridesmaids were Miss
Mina Miller, of Williamsport, gowned

lace, and Miss Glen Perkins, of Detroit,
Mich., in yellow silk.
The groom was attend by Chas. A.
Council. Troxell S. Fulton and Cas
sias O. Shafer acted as ushers.
The bridal party entered to the

March, rendered by Miss Nellie Hunt
loy. The impressive ring ceremony
was observed, the bride being given
away by her brother, N. S. Swartwood.
The church was beautifully decorated
and the ceremony performed amid a
profusion of evergreens and lerns.
The ceremony over, the bridal cou
ple marched out of the church to the
strains of to the bride's

Literary Prize Contest.
Answer to question number 15:
"A good book is the precious life-blood
of a master spirit, embalmed and treas
ured up on purpose to a life beyond
life."—Milton.
This closes the prize contest. Miss
Byrde Taggart, of Emporium, has won
the prize offered by the Emmanuel
Free Reading-room. She has sent in
an answer to every question but one,
and a larger per cent, of her answers
has been correct than those of any one
else.
Miss Margaret Farley of Driftwood,
also, deserves credit for having made
several excellent answers. If the con
test has stimulated research, and in
duced our youth to cull from the boun
tiful sheaves of literature, this primal
contest will not have been in vain; for
the province of genius is to uplift, and
life without literature is dead.
Our Nominees.
Since the nomination of the Repub
lican county ticket our readers, no
doubt, have not felt inclined to read
much politics, their minds and hearts
having been filled with grief over the
death of our lamented President.
However, a duty must be performed
and good and true men must bo ele
vated to the responsible positions. In
the future more care should, and cer
tainly will be, gi%'en to the class of men
elevated to responsible positions in
this country.
In Cameron county we present for
the suffrage of the people for the high
office of Associate Judge, ono of the
most important in the county and ono
requiring a gentleman of ripe exper
ience, sound judgment and a safe man
under any emergency, Hon. GEORGE
A. WALKER, of Emporium. Mr. Walk
er has been closely identified with the
material interests of Cameron county
for many years and will make a wise,
safe and conscientious official. The
office of Associate Judge is of more re
sponsibility than many people imagine
and a man should be elected to all the
position who knows the needs of the
county; a man who will watch the in
terests of the county. Such a man is i
Geo. A. Walker. See that you elect
him.
For County Treasurer the Republi
cans have nominated WALTER YOTH
ERS, ot Driftwood, a gentleman who
has resided in this county for eleven
yeax-s, having been born in the neigh
boring township of Karthaus, Clear
fteldcounty,ofgood German parentage.
During the years he has resided in this
county he has been employed as book
keeper at Driftwoood tannery, also en
gaged in the mercantile business, be
ing a member of the firm of Kreider &
Yothers. Our candidate is popular, of
good business ability and in every way
qualified for the duties of the office.
His great popularity at home attests to
his worthiness for tho position.
Sinnamahoning Liars' Club. Reviving
The Sinnamahoning Liars Club is
making a desperate effort to reorgan
ize, but this far have failed owing to
the fact that so many young men ap
ply for membership. One young man
wants to get married and only requires
one woman of good moral character,
who can stand at the wash tub six days
in the week, cut her own wood, make
the fire in the morning and assist in
making the garden in the spring. Any
lady under 23 years and not weighing
more than 250 pounds, who thinks she
mayflll the bill, should apply to Harry
Ward.

Pan-American Attractions.
Tremendous interest has been arous
ed over the Carnival Week at the Pan-
American Exposition, beginning Sep
tember 30th and lasting to October sth.
Magnificent preparations for the Mardi
Gras pageantry with the gorgeous floats
which were used in the New Orleans
Rex parade have been made. One fea
ture beside the daily pageant will be a
Baby Coach parade, already a pro
nounced success if the number of en
tries is a criterion.
Pain's Fireworks will be one of the
great features of Carnival Week at the
Pan-American Exposition, September
30th to October sth. Never in the
history of the world have such gor
geous pyrotechnics been seen.
Fifty thousand dollars have been
spent 011 thomagnificent chariots, fioat«
and features for the Carnival Week at
the Pan-American Exposition Septem
ber 30th to October sth.
Tho Pan-American Exposition is
proving a great success. While the
enterprise suffered for a few days from
the National tragedy, the crowds that
have put off going until the fall are
rushing to Buffalo in great numbers
now.
New York Stato Day at the Pan-
American Exposition was postponed
from September ISth to October 9th.
Brooklyn Day comes October Bth and
these two days will undoubtedly be
banner ones at the Exposition.
More than 5,000,000 people have visit
ed the Pan-American Exposition. As
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson said
on September 11, after a visit, "No one
can afford to keep away."
Railroad Day at the Pan-American
Exposition was to have been on Sep
tember 14th, but owing to the death
of President McKinley it was post
poned to September 28th. Every fea
ture announced for that day will be
given on September 28th. One hund
red and fifty thousand people are ex
pected then. Tho Human Bomb, the
most exciting aerial exploit of this
century of marvels, will be one of the
chief features, while the marriage of
several couples in the den of lions will
bo tho sight of a lifetime.
