Several beautiful designs emblematic of the state of Colorado are represented on the artistic stem, and in the gold bowl is a hand-en graved picture with the words "Mani ton, Colorado," in German text. The gift is in a neat white satiu case, and is intended to reward the young lady for having sent in the largest number of answers during the "Literary Prize Contest." To Miss Margaret Farley, of Drift wood, who came off secnod in the con test, was also generously remembered with a very pretty souvenir spoon hav ing a hand engraved picture of the entrance to the "Garden of the Gods" in the gold bowl. Now was the lady who conducted the contest forgotten. To her surprise, as well as high delight, she received a beautiful souvenir spoon of San Fran cisco. and she feels assured that the next best thing to being born with a gold spoon in your mouth is to have a considerate friend present you with one that points an entrance to the "Golden Gate." LITERARY PRIZE CONTEST. Eye Specialist. Prof. W. 11. Budine, the well known Eye Specialist, will be at R. H. Hirsch's jewlery store, Emporium, Pa, Nov. Bth and 9th, where be will test and examine the eyes free. All work guar anteed. Remember Prof. Budine guar antees to cure ail cases of headache caused by weak eyes or astigmatism. New lenses ground to fit old frames. Star Courae Opening. It may sound like extravagant lauda tion to say that the Patrieolo Grand Concert Company is the finest aggrega tion of artists that has ever appeared in Empot am but that would probably not be fi 112 wide of the truth—every member the Company is an artist and every mumber in the rich and varied program a gem. The audience wai delighted and demanded encore after encore, to which the several members of the company gracefully responded. The Piano playing of Patrieolo is indeed phenonenal, the renditions on the violin by Prof. Butler a revelation of the posibilities of that instrument. The vocalizations of Miss Rapp dis played the highest degree of cultivation and training, and the readings of Miss Gray were in the ntmost favor with her auditors. She easily excells in all the elements that make up he finished Elocutionist, as her frequent recalls indicated. The Rogers-Grilley recitals will be the next number in the Star Course, Dec. 10 th. DEATH'S DOINUS. ELLIS. The death of GEORGE W.ELLIS, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Ellis, of Emporium, at his late home near Pittsburg, from typhoid pneumonia was a sad blow to his family and to his many friende. ; His disease assumed a most serious j form from the beginning and while the j best medicai attention, together with I the most skillful nursing, was employ-1 ed these were ineffectual to save his | life. The end came last Friday morn ing, his wife, father and mother being with him at the time. The remaius were brought here for burial, the services being conducted in the First Methodist Episcopal Church by his pastor, the Rev. O. S. Metzler, assisted by the Rev. Robert McCaslin. A delegation of the Brotherhood of R. R. Trainmen, of which the deceased was a member, accompanied the re mains and rendered faithful service to the afflicted family. The beautiful floral piece "a broken wheel" was a gift from the Brotherhood arid was much admir ed. Mr. Ellis was but 22 years of age and had only been married about six months. Ho was a member of the Fir-.t Methodist Church and was active in the Sunday School and young peo ple's meetings. He was a young man of excellent habits and had a large circle of friends, by whom he will be greatly missed. Among the friends and relatives from abroad in attendance at the fun eral were Miss Mary Marsbaugh, cous in; Hood Ellis, brother, Mr. Puutle and Mr. White, all of Allegheny City, Pa. Miss Frank S. Huntley, who sang on several different occasions at the teach ers' institute in this borough last week, fully sustained the enviable reputation that proceeded her us being an accom plished vocalist. Miss Huntley certain ly has a remarkable rich, clear voice, and she reaches the higiiest notes with the greatest ease, showing the through cultivation she has received at the conservatories at Dickinson seminary, Wiliiamsport; at Ithaca, and finally at Chicago, where she won the first prize, a diamond medal. After listening to this talented young lady it is not diffi cult to predict for her a most successful career in a profession she has spent years of hard and patient Btudy to per fect herself for. No one who heard her during her recent visit in Smeth port could have failed to have been captivated by her tuneful voice. Miss Huntley was accompanied in her solo work here by her sister, Miss Nellie, an accomplished pianist, who is also a graduate of the Chicago Musical Col lege.—Smethport Democrat. Change in Lecture. Dr. Madison C. Peters will lecture in the Baptist church on Friday evening instead of in the Court House as adver tised. This change was made neces- I sary because of the improvments now ! being made in the Court room. The Augusta, (Ga.) Herald, says: | "For an hour and a half he held his { audience literally spell bound and mingled laughter and applause riffled over the audience from beginning to I end." Doors open at 7:30. Lecture begins ! at 8 o'clock. Admission, 35c. Great Luck Of An Editor. "For two years all efforts to cure Ec zema in the palms of my liauds failed," writes Editor It. N.

The country is safe and the peo ple of the country have once more responded in unmistakable terms in behalf of Republicanism, sweep ing every northern state that held state elections. Tammany Hall is wiped out and New York city pass es into Republican hands. Even Bryan's state was carried by the Republicans. It was a glorious victory, especially in Pennsylva nia, where the most desperate ef fort was made by the Fusion party to defeat the regular nominees of the Republican party. Fusion is dead in Pennsylvania—dead as a door nail. The result in Cameron is very gratifying on both state and county ticket. "While the county is safely Republican on state issues the re sult on the county ticket rather surprised tlio most sanguine. The election passed off quietly, except in one district (Lumber ) where a small riot disturbed the election for a time. The successful candi dates may well feel proud of their handsome vote. The contest was quiet, yet closely contested and the result unprecedented in the his tory of the county. The popularity of the county candidates is very evident by the handsome vote each received. The PRESS congratulates the victors and sympathizes with the defeated. We have been there and know just how they feel. Now, "let us have peace," and see what we can do to upbuild Cameron county.
