The Emmanuel Free Reading-room
presented Miss Byrde Taggart of Em
porium with a handsome souvenir bon
bon spoon. 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. Lester, of Syracuse,
Kan., "then I was wholly cured by
IWklen's Arnica Salve." It's the world's
best for Eruptions. Hurt ■ and all skin
diseases. Only at L. Tag^art's.
A barrier against disease and better
than drugs is SHAW'S PURE MALT.

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.

Fire at Sterling Run.
To the Editor Cameron Count]/ Prcsi ;
Here is a notice about a fire, and
I would like you to put a notice in
the PRESS about it. It was as fol
lows: Little John Whiting said
that ho was fooling down at the
barn and said that he set it on fire
to see the rats run and asked his
mother how soon it would burn.
There was a horse and buggy saved
and some wood and feed, and a lot
of hay and lumber burned upstairs.
I forgot to say there were two barna
adjoining each other—one was Ed.
Whitings and the other Straw
bridge' s.
Yours truly,
