John Ebersole, who recently visited Pan-Am. has an interesting tale to un fold. Harvey Tompkins is as proud JIS a peacock over the arrival of a ten pound boy at his house. Misses Jennie and May Gould re turned on Monday from visiting rela tives and friends at Buffalo and other points. Thos. J. Lynch, of Sterling Run, was a PRESS visitor yesterday. He re turned 011 Saturday from a visit to the Pan-Am. Thos. 11. Xorris and wife, came down from Portland Mills and passed Sun day with Mrs. Norris' parents, C. C. Fay and wife. Mrs. Rhoda Ilussell will spend the winter in McKean county. Henry Farr and wife will occupy her house during her absence. Jasper Harris went to Buffalo on Tuesday to assist in closing up the Pan-Am. During his absence John Blinzler had charge of his store. John D. Morrisey, of Superior, Wis., who came here on Saturday to attend his father's funeral was compelled to ■ return to his duties on Monday. Mr. Joseph. Kaye, of this place, one of the firm of C. B. Howard Company, left- Tuesday evening for Mexico, ac companying a number of business men. They will be absent about two months. Rev. J. M. Robertson ana family will return to-day from an extended visit in New York. The ladies of the church have arranged a reception at the Rectory upon their arrival. Postmaster W. 11. Mitchell, of Drift wood, was calling 011 Emporium friends Monday evening and of course called to see the PRESS. Ex-Post master Michael Murphy and Post master Seger acted as body guard. Call again gentlemen—you are "the right Billy goats." Clias. Norton, of Sterling Run, was a PRESS visitor last Saturday and after transacting business with the PRESS we enjoyed a social visit from the gentleman. For some time Mr. Norton j has been Supt. ot Sterling Tannery j but now that the works have been \ abandoned and the machinery being moved away Mr. Norton no doubt will also leave the county. We hope not, for he is a popular gentleman and good citizen. The PRESS failed to announce the marriage of Mr. Richard C. Moore and Miss Margaret Creighton, the happy event having taken place on the 16th of this month. Mr. Moore is clerk in P. & E. freight oiliee at this place and ! a popular young gentleman, while the ! bride is one of our most respected ■ young ladies. Both have many friends j who promptly congratulated them, i That the union will prove a happy one I the PRESS feels assured and extends ; congratulations although a little late. The Democracy Swallowed. j From the Lancaster New Era. The State Democracy appears to have been swallowed bag and bag gage-by the Wauamaker nondes cripts, whose longer stay in the Republican party was rendered uncongenial by their failure to se l cure the offices. They accordingly turned their attention to the Derno ' cracy, whose managers welcomed ; them with open arms, placed them i in the chief seats at the political ! table, and by way of showing their appreciation of their new found ' friends unceremoniously kicked : out the old-line Democrats who for j years had faithfully borne the party banner, but who refused to change their principles at the command of I the multi-millionaire managers. The fact that the representatives of the party in State convention abso lutely prohibited what Boss Guffey has just carried through did not cause a moment's hesitation. It is certainly a remarkable situation, and there is little <;ause for surprise that the Democrats in all parts of the State are outspoken in their refusal of support to the new com bination. It must certainly be a • pretty nauseous mess that is pre sented to our Democratic friends. Card of Thanks. Editor Press:— Please convoy our thanks to those kind neighbors and friends who com forted and assisted us during our afflic tion—the death of our dear wife and mother, Mr 3. Mary Cavanaugh. MICHAEL CAVANAUGH AND FAMILY. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 31, 1901. Those Rural Boxes. We are having so called free rural j mail delivery from Driftwood, over j Mason Hill, down Driftwood branch 1 and it is undoubtedly a great con | venience, but at the present time we think we are being imposed upon by a mail box trust. It seems that Congress witheld from the Postofflce Depart ment the power to decide what kind of boxes the patrons of rural routes I should use for the reception of their mail matter. And yet we who live along a mail route find that a way has ; been discovered to create a trust that will if not checked be far reaching in its results. I understand that the Post Office Department has assumed the authority to "appro ve"a certain pattern of mail box manufactured under the Bates Hawley patent, and some in spectors and postmasters construe such "approval" to have the force of law, and the postmaster refuse to send mail to any person who will not buy the "approved" box at a cost of §2 50 or $3.00 each, while if met with competi tion without official approval it would sell for forty or fifty cents each. Now ninety per cent of the patrons of the mail route take their mail from the boxes within a few minutes after it is left by the carrier. For such persons a weather-proof wooden box costing nothing but the labor of attaching to a post suffices to supply every con sideration as a receptacle for mail matter and is much more convenient for the carrier, and we believe fills both the letter and the spirit of the law. No doubt this was the intention of Congress when it authorized no stipu lation as to the character of such boxes. If any person desire to place their mail under lock and key it is perfectly right to require all such persons to provide | themselves uniform boxes that the | carrier can open with a single key, but this affords no excuse for compell ing patrons to buy complicated boxes. But now comes the demand and all patrons are told they must either pur chase a new"approved"box at the cost of $2.50 or goto the office for their mail as they did before the route was es tablished. About all of the patrons of this route have had their mail changed 1 the mail formerly coming to Sterling Run and to have it changed again will I make no end of bother, as all parties concerned seem satisfied, why not let the boxes remain as before ? Heretofore it has been the boast of the Postofflce Department that the most humble citizen could always secure a hearing and redress of grievances by applying to the Department at Washington but letters that have been written seem to be almost wholly ignored and have brought no relief. I think this fraud should be exposed and the parties brought to justice. *** Driftwood, Pa., Oct. 21, 1901. [Our correspondent evidently is laboring under a misapprehension. We are reliably informed that the de partment does not compel the patrons i to purchase any particular letter box but submits fourteen different patterns ranging in prices from $1.25 to $3.00 To give U. iS. protection it is absolutely necessary that certain stipulations must be lived up to and "any old thing" from an abondoned tin pail to a soap box would soon cause trouble. Our advice to the patrons of the route is that they select and place in position a regulation box and stop kicking. The service now given the Mason Hill people does not pay the department and too much fault finding might cause the abandonment of the service.] EDITOR. Having cut loose from the Jle j publican party the organizers of the Union party and their sympa thizers must expect to be treated as enemies. They have a perfect right to enlist under whatever banner they please, but they should not complain when they get in the way of the hot shot from the stal wart breastworks. An unholy political alliance brings its own pangs, says the Harrisburg Tele | graph.

Walker, and Mr. Walter Yothers were around last week, tooking over the i-ituation politically. A son of D. B. Johnson was very badly injured last Saturday by a piece of bark leaving the slide ami striking him on the forehead, crackiug the skull. A large force of carpenters are on hand to-day to work on Martindalo's new hotel at Brooks liun. Work was delay ed several days, both mills at Austin being broken down the lumber could not be sawed out as soon as expected. Washington Bailey departed this life at Wharton on Thursday last. Services were held at the Gilmore school house on Sunday, l!ev. Holland officiating. In terment was made in the Gilmore ceme tery- His children were all at the funeral, Mrs John Schwartz being summoned trom Pittsburg aud Mrs. M. JO. Coder from Straights, Pa. There was a very large concourse of relatives and friends present. Mr. Bailey's age was given as I'l years, although some seem to think he was older, lie had been sick almost a year. Mrs. K. E. Bailey and little daughter also attended the funeral. Ezra Logue returned last week, look ing hale and hearty, trom his second trip to the Klondyke, where he has been rafting and running lumber down the Yukon. Mason Hill. Love is the perfume of life. Miss Griffin,our efficient teacher, called on her parents at Driftwood on Sunday. Two bright young Democrats came to the ranks of the Republican paity at the last caucus. No new eases of diphtheria, and Mr. Ray Jordan is decidedly better and his recovery is looked for. W. J. Lane, wife and daughter Ava, were in Huntley visiting the venerable | Nelson Jordan, who is in poor health. : Mrs. Wilson Hey, of St. Marys, was I called here by telegram on account of the j serious illness of her brother, Ray i Jordan. Mr. Marshal Barr accompanied Mr. 1 Yothers on his visiting trip to the voters of Mason Hill. He could not have had better company. | Walter Yothers passed over the Hill ! Monday looking at his political fences | and thinks he has a nice majority cn j closed, and so say all. | Mrs. M. A. Losey, of Sinnamahoning is the guest of her sister, Mrs. Barr on llound Top. No one is more welcome than Mrs. Martha Losey on the Hill. The venerable G. W. Tanner, while on his way to Driftwood with a load of meat j and cabbage, last Saturday, ran a narrow [ chance for his life. The tongue of his j wagon dropped down and the horses ; made a dash ahead and jerked the wagon ! onto their heels, which made them jump | the more fiercely, pulling him out in j front of the wagon on his head and I shoulders, the wagon passing over his j limbs, but he held to the horses, (which are a spirited team) and after dragging | him some rods he succeeded in turning ' tlieui into a stump fence, and now the ! old geutleman is hardly able to get ! around. The campaign is drawing to a close | and next Tuesday will be the end of it. Just one-half of the candidates will feel good and the other half will feel bad. Yothers is making a manly fight and there are every indication of a successful issue. Walter is an ideal candidate, well fitted for the office for which he will be elected next Tuesday and will fill the office with dignity and honor. Good men can be trusted to do their part cor rectly, bad men are not wanted anywhere but at the mourners banch. Every Re publican that goes to the polls on Tuesday J next, should and will, cast their votes tor I Walter Yothers, and will feel that they ! have done an act that they will always I be proud ot, and I.
