THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS; ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH 1866. VOL. 37. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Oorrespomlent.) Washington, March 17th, 1902. The Senate devoted all last week to the consideration of 4 the ship subsidy bill and will vote upon it to-day. The debate was marked by an able speech from Senator Perkins of California, a speech by Senator Depew and another by Senator Foraker in which he said that, while the measure was not all that he could desire, he regard ed it as perhaps the best which could be framed and that, as it had the entire approval of the ma jority, he would support it. Sena tors Frye and Hanna both express ed themselves on Saturday as cer tain that the bill would pass, and Senator Perkins told me he believed it would not only pass the Senate but the House as well. Senator Penrose tells me that he will make an earnest effort to have the Chinese Exclusion bill which lias been perfected in his commit tee, made the regular order of busi ness, following the disposal of the '•anti-anarchist bill" otherwise known as "a bill for the protection of the President." The wishes of the Senator from Pennsylvania are opposed, however, by Senator Proctor whose committee is pre pared to report the oleomargarine bill. Senator Cullom has not deviated from his opinions in regard to reciprocity. "I am still of the opinion that, from apolitical stand point, as well as on economic grounds, we should at least tnake a beginning in the way of reciprocity at this session of Congress," said the Senator when I inquired the status of the treaties in his com mittee on Saturday. "My com mittee will take up the treaties next week and all of the items will receive the most careful considera tion. Of course, uutil such an ex amination has been made it is im possible to predict the outcome, but I feel confident that we will be able to report to the Senate some treaties worthy of support." As to the likelihood of securing senator ial action any of the treaties at this session Mr. Cullom was not com municative but he said the work of his committee would be none the less careful and painstaking than if immediate action by the Senate was assured. Senator Ilale told the newspaper men on Thursday that he thought Congress would adjourn about the tenth of June and as the Senator from Maine is a member of both the Committee on Appropriations and of the Steering Committee he probably knows. Such early ad journment would mean, however, : that many important questions would go over until the short ses sion. With the anti-anarchy bill, the anti-oleomargarine bill, the Chinese Exclusion bill and the various appropriation bills still to be considered, there will not be much time left for other business. Senator Morgan still hopes to se cure action on the Hepburn can al bill and told me last week that he believed it would pass. Senator Hanna, however, is opposed to it and still favors further considera tion of the Panama route but he has abandoned his advocacy of the Darien route. Mr. Hanna does not hesitate to show his anger at the attempt of the Senator from Alabama to rush through his fav orite bill and has announced his intention of making a vigorous light for the Spooner amendment which provides that, if the Depart meni of Justice decides that a clear title can be conveyed by the Panama Company and the Colom bian government, the President shall be authorized to purchase the French company's property at the price named, 040,000,000. Senator Allison, as chairman of the Cora mitteee on Appropriations, has shown a slight disposition to ques tion the advisability of appropriat ing so much money to be spent outside of the United States and there are those who say that Mr. Allison may present serious oppo sition if the question of a route is decided.

James Carson, a well known mill man of Austin, died Thursday morning about seven o'clock as the result of an accident or foul play, the circumstan ces of which is veiled in mystery. On Monday evening after quitting work he left his boarding house and went to town. He did not return that night and in the morning ho was found at the bottom of a flight of stairs leading to his boarding house which is located on the hill. He was unconscious when found and the mud into which he had fallen was frozen around his body. Mr. Carson did not regain consciousness until death ensued Thursday morning. He was for a number of years head sawyer in the Goodyear mills at Aus tin, where his wife and three children, who survive him still reside. The re mains were taken to Austin, Thursday. The funeral, under the auspices of the Masonic lodge occurred at Austin at 2:30 p. in., to-day. We understand that the remains will be taken to Scott Hill for interment.—Galeton Dis patch. A Plea For India. The following plea comes to us from Miss Emily C. Wheeler, Secretary of the National Armenian Relief Com mittee, who, at the request of the former Committee of One Hundred for India Famine Relief, has consented to help in caring for India orphans as well as for those in Turkey: Some years ago the good people of America rescued from death quite a large number of little orphans in far away India, but in the hurry of our Western life many of these little ones whom we then rescued from death have been almost forgotten and are in danger of being forced into something even worse than death, and especially is this true of the girls. Hence we feel justified in appealing j once more to the people of America to I help these little ones. The grown up | population of India, so many of whom j needed help in famine tiinei are now | able to care for themselves, but the little ones atill need our help. First of j all, they need something to eat: second I they need a cheery home; and, third, j we wish to waken in them a Love of j work, which will make them a blessing | to their native land, where manual I labor is often looked upon with su ; preme contempt. | All it costs for each child is six cents i a day, or $20.00 a year, and remember ing that a good many citizens of Cam eron county were interested in this orphan cause sonic years ago, we feel Kure that some of you will be glad to help once more. We do not ask a largo gift; but we do ask for one which will express real love for the cause, for these are the ones which bring the greatest blessing to giver and receiver. Yours very truly, EMILY C. WHEELER, Secretary. 1 40 King St., Worcester, Mass. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."—WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 20,1902. Important Tannery Deal. Ono of the most extensive tannery deals in the country has just been con sumated between W. P. Mosser & Co., Westover, Pa., L. W. Gleason & Sons, Canton, Gleasouton, Driftwood and Medix Run, Pa., and Wm. Irvin & Son, Big Run, Pa., whereby the Arm, to be known as W. F. Mosser & Co., have secured the bark 011 an immense track of land near Richwood, VV. Va., sufficient to conduct a tannery of 1200 sides per day for a term of twenty five years, giving employment to 200 men. The firm left yesterday morning for the new field of operations and com mence at once upon the erection of the plant, which will be of a large capacity —I2OO to 1500 sides per day of what is known us red leather. The location is said to be one of the best in that state, being situated along the Baltimore & Ohio R. R,, in the heart of the exten sive Cherry River Boom and Lumber Company lands. Mr. W. M. Lawler, for a number of years employed by the Elk Tanning Company at this place, in addition to several years at other important points, as an expert tanner, has been offered the position of Superintendent of this new industry and has accepted the place* which is one of great responsi bility. Mr. Lawler left yesterday for the new operations to commence work, although it will be some time before his family loaves here. The firm of Mosser & Co., are fortunate in securing the services ofsucliacompetentgentle man to manage their extensive busi ness. lie is a first-class business man, in addition to being a tanner equal to any in the country. If the new firm does not flourish and make money it will not be Mr. Lawler's fault. Hailing from a family of tanners from the father down the Lawlers have estab lished an enviable reputation. Wo congratulate our townsman, as well as Messrs. Mo3ser & Co., upon his selec tion to this important position. THE GREATEST RAILROAD. The Rev. Dr. James M. Buckley, Editor ol the New York Christian Advocate on the I'enna. Kail Road. The effects of the two great storms of the past two weeks were almost unpar alleled e ist of the Ohio River. On Monday, the 3d instant, wo spent some time going from office to office to find a road that would promise to deliver us in Chicago not more than ten hours behind schedule time. The New York Central and the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western could promise nothing, nothing, and several others were in the same helpless condition, most of them not even expecting to send out a through train. This had been the state since Friday. The Penn sylvania, however, responded that it would not be three hours late, if at all. Though obliged to make a detour in leaving Harrisburg, which on one side was largely under water, we were in Chicago less than two hours late. The Pennsylvania system now trans cends every other in the world. Pro bably one reason is that there is not a man in an important place in the man agement who has not worked his way up from the bottom. Last Attraction of the Season. Fun and frolic will be in plenty at the Opera House when "Peck's Bad Boy" will be presented. This all the time favorite farcial comedy is like good wine and improves with age. The adding on new pranks, finding new jokes and producing more laughter seems to be the only cause of life to the players. Of the splendid company for this season may be mentioned Joseph Madison, who has been re engaged to play the title role, and he is expected to outdo last year's popu larity, which is saving a great deal, while for the part of the good-natured Groceryman, Fred Wenzel, the emi nent German Comedian, has returned to the fold. Mr. Wenzel, instead of being an adept in mixing sugar with sand, is very apt in making an audi ence laugh. He certainly excels any artiste in his line. Manager Heath has, in addition, a galaxy of specialty artists that includes masters in every line. Miss Lillie May White, who is eon- I sidered to be ono of the handsomest I women 011 the stage, has an abundance ; of new songs and a most fastidious ! wardrobe, besides being the lucky pos i sessor of a fine soprano voice. The Madison Brothers are two of the cleverest boxers and bag punchers of their age in the country and this is an act that should not be missed by any ! lover of the manly art. There is not a dull moment from the i time the curtain rises until it falls, in i Peck's Bad Boy. Wednesday, March j 26th Prices 25, 33, and 50 cents. Re served seats at Lloyd's. Re-Opening. Mrs. Cavey will reopen her millinery parlor on Fourth street, opposite City Hotel, on Monday, March 24th, with a fine assortment of trimmed hats, in fante caps, etc. Easter Ball. Citizen Hose Company, No. 2, are making arrangements for their annual ball, which takes place Tuesday even ing, April Ist. Germania Orchestra, of Lock Haven, has been engaged. The boys should be liberally patronized. Remember the date. John P. Merrick Will Wed. Editor John P. Herrick, of Bolivar Breeze, will be married next June to Miss Nellie B. Young, daughter of Hon. and Mrs. Lafayette Young, of Des Moinis, lowa. Mr. Herrick's Cameron county friends congratulate him upon having at last decided to de sert the ranks of the bachelors. John is a Cameron county boy .and has made his mark in the literary world. Timely Advice. Hon. L. Taggart's advice to other merchants: "Experience ha 3 taught me that there is money and money to to spare, in the flower business; there fore,ad vise that about eight other firms, besides myself, engage in the business at once. I expect to retire from the prsfits of the business in a very short • time. Sleepy merchants of Emporium, don't let me do it, but about a dozen of 1 you engage in the business at once." Checks Held Back. j About 125 railroad men, employed lin the shops at Renovo and on the railroad, failed to get their checks last pay day, the same having been garnisheed by the West Vir ginia collecting agency. The amount 1 of the claims amount to several thou sand dollars. Representatives of this agency have visited Emporium and it is feared the next "hold up" will take place at Emporium and intermediate points. Debt Paying Jubilee. 1 A large number of our citizens at .! tended the burning of the mortgages at I the M. E Church last evening. A de ! lightful program was prepared. After t the exercises about 600 people were served with light refreshments by the ladies of the church. The occasion was one of great rejoicing and now they commence a new conference year entirely free from debt with a small j nest egg for a rainy day. Married at Olean. Miss Maud E. Williams and Mr. George E. English, of Driftwood, were married at Olean, N. Y., March 18th, ! 1902, by William Cobb, J. P. The bride is well known in Emporium, as a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. W.Wil liams of Mason Hill, has many friends who will be pleased to hear of her mar riage and wish her much happiness. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. | John M. English, of Driftwood, and we believe will make a kind and affection ate husband. The happy couple have been friends from childhood. The I PKESS extends its best wishes. Grams—Keliey. Henry Albert Grams and Clara I Marie Keliey, were united in marriage at the parsonage of the First Methodist ! Episcopal Church, Tuesday evening, > ! March 18th, by the minister the Rev. \ O. S. Metzler, in the presence of a few of their immediate friends. Mr. Grams is in the employ of the Climax Powder Company and is a young man I | of industrious habits, while Miss Keliey j is a highly esteemed young lady of East Emporium. ' i Mr. and Mrs. Grams will goto house keeping just east of town, the groom | having purchased the Emporium creamery property. They have the . best wishes of their friends. M 1 Purchase Paint at Home. The merchants of Emporium have r certainly putin as fine a line of paints, oils and varnishes ever offered here i and this leads me to ask why it is that 4 so many people of our town will take the word of strangers, who places . catchy advertisements in the papers t as to the qualities of their paints, and 3 ignore their home merchants, who do 3 not ask you to take their word but - would point you to dozens of houses 3 in our town that have been painted 3 from eight to fifteen years as positive 112 proof. Will you take the word of a 1 stranger i:i preference. 1 am positive / we have merchants in our town that would do as much for you in way of a repainting as any outsider. My advice 1 is buy your paints, as near as you can, 1 from your home merchants, who will in some way return a part of it to you. MERCHANT. BRIEF riENTION. Don't fail to read our new advertise ments in this issue. It will be to your interest. LOST— A Eureka memorandum book with names in, chances on gold watch chain and silver ware.

"My dear fellow" said one, "I painted one day last week a small piece of pine wood in imitation of marble so perfectly, that it sank to the bottom of the water." "Pshaw!" said another, "yesterday I suspended a therinoneter on the easel that holds my view of the Polar regions; it fell at once to twenty degrees below zero." "That's nothing" said the third; "I painted my picture of the Duke of Gloucester so life like that hi 3 whiskers have to be trimmed once a week." Of the applications for patents in the United States coming from foreign in ventors, England, Germany, France and Canada furnish the majority.

Mr. Sei hert has done more to build up and advance the interests of Coudersport than any other resident the town has ever had and ho will be missed more by the people who have an interest in seeing the town prosper, than would any other citizens we have.—Couders port Democrat. There are three members of the House who are known as the Braod of Gover nors of Pennsylvania. Their names are Mahon, Sibley and Connell, and all of them would like to wear the Guber natorial toga. Of the trio, Sibley is the most picturesque. He has the re markable faculty of being able to be elected on any ticket of any party. He was a Democratic Representative, then he went over to the Populists and now he is a Republican in full standing. He is the greatest campaign er and vote-getter in the State, and if he is nominated for Governor, he will leave a streak of good stories behind him wherever he goes. He is very wealthy and loves fast horses and all the good things of life.—Washington Post. There will be lots of fun at the Opera House Wednesday, March 26th, for Peck's Bad Boy will be there then, and that means fun fist and furious The j play has been re-written and is funnier than ever.
