THE CAMERON COUNTY PHI^ 3 ; ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOUI.D, MARCH 1866. VOL. 37. A PURE BUTTER CIRCULAR Philadelphia Merchant* Issue a Cir cular to Farmer* and Dairymen. The combined pure butter interests of Philadelpnia have issued an unusual circular during the past week. It is addressed to the Farmers and Dairy men of Pennsylvania and reads as fol lows: "We, the undersigned dealers in pure butter, being especially interested in the success of the Grout bill, made re peated visits to the national capitol when this measure was under consider ation in the Senate and House. "We take great pleasure in stating that the Hon. Boies Penrose of Penn sylvania was untiring in his elTorts to aid in the passage of this bill, which is of inestimable benefit to the dairy interests, and we very much doubt if it would have become a law, with its many desirable features, if Senator Penrose had not labored so earnestly in its behalf. "Wealthy oleomargarine dealers and manufacturers, from various sections of the United States co-operating with other powerful interests, worked with unceasing zeal to defeat this measure and thereby seriously cripple the great dairy interests, but on account of the unswerving fidelity of Senator Penrose to the farmers and dairymen, their efforts were rendered unsuccessful. "In view of this we would respect fully urge all farmers and dairymen to advocate the election of members of the senate and house of representa tives in Pennsylvania who will support for re-election to the United States Senate, the Hon. Boies Penrose, of Philadelphia, Pa." This circular is signed by W. R. Bryce & Co., 23 South Water street, Bickel & Miller, 322 South Front street and twelve other of the largest whole sale butter merchants and firms in the city. PATTISON OPPOSED BY LABOR Tinplate Workers Urge V/age Earners to Oppose His Election as Governor. At the recent tin plate conference of the Amalgamated Association the following resolutions were passed: "Whereas, R. E. Pattison has beeu selected as one of the candidates foi governor of this great commonwealth; and "Whereas, It Is well known to organ ized labor that said R. E. Pattison is a most bitter enemy of organized labor as was evidenced by his action during his last administration by his vetoing Sen ate bill No. 19, session of 1885, provid ing for a better protection of wages of labor and providing for a better system of collection, and his vetoing House bill No. 626, securing to mechanics and la borers the right to file liens on real es tate for wages due. "Also by sending troops to Home stead during the strike of 1892, after he had promised a committee of the workmen that no troops would be sent there in view of the fact that Adjutant General Greenland had reported that peace prevailed and that the presence of troops was not necessary for the pre servation of order; and "Whereas, It was stated to a com mittee of citizens of Homestead by General Snowden, • the representative of Governor Pattison, that 'the mills are open, and any one who the com pany permits to enter to work will be protected by the troops.' "Therefore, in view of all these facts, it is resolved by the members of the conference committee and the other members of the Amalgamated Associa tion of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, that we do condemn unqualifiedly, and without reserve, the action of former Governor R. E. Pattison, and we recom mend that all union men vote and use their influence to defeat this enemy of organized labor." The Road to Anarchy. One of the most dangerous tenden cies of modern American life, appar ently becoming every day more preva lent, is the disposition wantonly and recklessly to speak ill of those who are charged with the performance of public duties. Instead of the respect which in the days of our fathers was exhib ited toward those selected by the peo ple for office, it is the habit of our time (o offer them only abuse. If we ever succeed in entirely destroying the con fidence of the people in those who ad minister the government wo shall have reached the lime wlvn the government itself is ready to perish. It is a kind of slander which is closely akin to treason and leads directly on the road to anarchy und the overthrow of our cherished Institutions. It is the breed ing ground where grow tlio sentiments and impulses of creatures like Guiteau and Czolgosi.—From Judge Penny packer's Erie speech. Emmanuel Church. Sunday, October sth, 11 a. in.

Editor Prett:— President Roosevelt continues to improve slowely and it is believed that he will be able to use his in jured leg next week, when he will review the Grand Array parade, on the Btli. After doing so, he will re turn with Mrs. Roosevelt to Oyster Bay to remain for two weeks. Sec retary Cortelyou told your corres pondent Saturday that Mr. Roose velt hoped to secure absolute rest at Oyster Bay and to be free from all callers except such as he might summon on important business. J 112 he can secure the retirement which he desires at his summer home, he would prefer staying there to going to some resort in the mountains, but if his friends will not permit him to rest on Long Island, he will be forced togo to some more inacces sible point. After remaining two weeks in Oyster Bay, the President will return to Washington and oc cupy the temporary White House until election-day when ho will go home to vote, and it is hoped that when be returns to this city again, the renovated White House will be in a condition to receive him and his family. The most interesting development in Washington this week consists of the extensive changes made in the diplomatic corps, announced at the State Department Saturday. Mr. Charlemagne Tower, ambassa dor to Russia, is to become ambassa dor to Berlin. Mr. Robert 8. Mc- Cormick, now ambassador to Austria-Hungary, is to become am bassador to Russia. Mr. Bellamy Storer, now Minister to Spain, be comes ambassador to Austria- Hnngary. Mr. Arthur S. Hardy, now Minister to Switzerland, be comes ambassador to Spain. .Mr. Charles Page Bryan, now Minister to Brazil, becomes Minister to Switz erland and Mr. David E. Thomp son of Nebraska, becomes Minister to Brazil. The most notable feat ure in these new appointments is the thoroughness with which the President has put into practice his ' policy of rewarding merit in the government service. All of the men appointed to important posts have served the couutrv creditably at lesser points. Instead of their being selected because of their political influences and their ability to sway loc»l public opinion they are select ed because Mr. Roosevelt believes that having rendered eflicient service, they deserve promotion, and because, having gained diplo matic experience in the past, they will be in a position to further the interests of the United States in the countries to which they are assign ed better than would an inexperi enced man. No more direct denial of the statements that Mr. Roose j velt has abandoned his civil service j position could have been made than is contained in the announcement of these appointments. Mr. Thompson, the only appointee from civil life, is a man of known ability and he is appointed to a post of minor importance where he can gain his experience without serious | loss to the country, as might be the case had he been appointed to a I European court, while he has the assurance that, as President I Roosevelt's policy is carried out, | faithful service in Brazil will gain ' for him promotion in the diplomatic . corps. There is manifest a certain apathy in the campaign which is the occa sion of some anxiety to the Republi can leaders. Chairman IJabeock was recently in Washington and stated that the only danger to lie publican success was in the "stay at-home" vote, lie said he had "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." — WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1902. good grounds for believing that no i votes would be lost to the party by j the conversion of the voters to j Democratic doctrines, but there was i an element of danger in too great | confidence on the part of those who ! were reluctant togo to the polls and j vote, except in close campaigns. The Democrats are considerably worried at the prospect of the loss j of two votes from Texas. No steps have been taken thus far toward electing a successor to the late Rep resentative de Graffenreid and the selection of a Congressman for gov ernor will leave another vacancy in the delegation. Geo. W. Huntley's Nominating Speech. The following nominating speech was delivered by Geo. W. Huntley, Esq., at the Republican County Con vention, held at this place, Sept. 23: MR. CHAIRMAN: —A duty devolving on this Convention is the nomination of a candidate to represent our county in the next General Assembly of the State Legislature. It behooves us to name a man worthy of the high honor confered upon him; a man qualified to faithfully serve the people, one who will receive their suffrage at the polls I believeCameron county has men who can fill any requirements that its people may demand, but in this case we have a man particularly fitted for this parti cular place. Such a man is Hon. Henry H. Mullin. He is a self-made man, he having by industry,courage and integ rity, climbed the ladder, step by step, from a slate picker at the coal mines, to a printers devil, and from printers devil to Editor of one of our leading journals; and who has become one of the most progressive citizens of our county. Born in our State, he came to our county a mere lad and has resided with us thirty four years. He has married one of our daughters and built a home in our midst, and we have watched him rise by his own efforts, to his present honorable standing in our community. He has always worked for the interest of the county and the honor of its citi zens. He has been a friend to the widow and orphan, a help to the old soldier, and counselor to many others, without distinction of nationality, re ligious creed or political affiliations. He can be approached by everybody and can asoertain the people's wants, and knowing their wants, ho also knows how to secure them. He is better ac quainted with the county and its people than any other man, knows the condi tion of all our citizens, and having the mind and heart to endeavor to accom plish their every demand, he is there fore, preeminently qualified to serve the people. He is acquainted with the political leaders of the state, besides having served two terms as Clerk in the House and another term as Member. He has practical experience for this ollice which few men have. He is, furthermore, imbued with the noble principles that were inculcated by the lamented McKinley, and pro mulgated by the courageous Roosevelt. I came from the lower end of the county to make this nomination as a token of our loyalty to him and I do so with the hope that it will receive the approval of the delegates here assembl ed, and with the belief that it will have the endorsement of the voters on elec tion day. I nominate Honorable Henry H. Mullin. Baptist Church Notes. Anniversary services at the First Baptist church Sunday morning and evening. The pastor's brother, Rev. W.

An exchange says that a man has in vented a chair that can be adjusted to 800 different positions, and adds that "it is designed for a boy to sit in when he goes to church. "That settles it," said an old farmer who was just on the point of renting his farm and moving into town, when he was told that a rural mail route was to be laid post his door: "I'll build a tenant house, keep my old home, have my daily paper and die where I have worked for forty years."—Ex. The history of the industrial changes which have of late been occurring with such rapidity is to be found in its most interesting form in the careers of the "Captains of Industry" now before the public in connection with the larger interests of production transportation aud finance. A knowledge of these men their derivation, their leading charac teristics, weakness and abilities, throws much light upon the news of the day in which their names constantly recur. In making the effort to present a fairly complete series of studies of these men The Cosmopolitan Magazine has furnished the public with one of the most interesting serials ever pnblished. In the October number H. C. Frick Cyrus H. K. Curtis, David 11. Moffat, Woodrow Wilson and H. H. Vreeland furnish interesting studies. "What We Have Done for Our New Possessions" is the title of the double page of pictures in the October Woman's Home Companion. It shows the real effect of our good government in the West Indies and the Philippines An other feature of special interest is "The Fate of 'Cupe' and 'Dinah," or the final, hitherto unpublished chapter of "Stringtown on the Pike." "Woven With the Ship" reaches its dramatic conclusion. There is a clever story by Mrs. Bishop, called "The Garden Plot," and another laughable "Nurse Norah" story. Other features are "The Child ren of the Poor in Great Cities," 'How Mrs. Roosevelt Keeps House,""The Old Fiddlers' Contest" and a page of beauti ftil pictures of mothers and children. The chief feature of the number, how ever, is the fall fashions. Published by The Crowell Publishing Co., Sprihg field, Ohio; one dollar a year, ten cents a copy; sample copy free. Bridge Broke Down. On Monday William McGee, who drives team for D. C. Hayes, had a very narrow escape from injury. While crossing the bridge near the fur niture factory, which leads to lands of Charles Weller, the same gave way, precipitating the team and wagon into the stream. Mr. McGee was pinned under the wagon, but escaped without injury. The horses were also as for tuuate. Men who saw the accident hurried to the scene and freed the man who was fast under the wagon. It Is a miricle that he was not seriously in jured. Returns From Vacation. Rev. O. S. Metzler, pastor of First Methodist Episcopal Church, returned yesterday from an extended visit to the Pacific coast, having visited all the principal cities of the west during his trip, gathering valuable informa tion that will be helpful and entertain ing to his friends. The Rev. gentleman will occupy his pulpit in M. E. Church next Sunday morning and evening and no doubt will receive a welcome reception. Terribly Burned. John Burnett, residing on Spring streed, met with a painful accident Tuesday morning, at Climax Powder works. He was employed in the re covery department and was preparing to empty a tank of acid the cap fiow off, completely covering his face and neck with the fluid, fearfully burning him. He is confined to his home and fears j are entertained that he may lose his I eyesight. Dr. Smith is attending him, and informs the PREas that while the j gentleman's face is severely burned, | he thinks his eyes are not permanently 1 injured. Dr. Swallow Here. Dr. Swallow and two other gentle men were in Emporium Tuesday even ing and talked to a few boys and some gentlemen. The Dr. was "frozen" by his former Cameron county supporters, not one taking any stock in his stuff. His visit here was a total failure, the clergy of Emporium refusing positively to have anything to do with his ' "cause." For Sale.

Miller, the Chairman of the Re publican County Committee of Elk county, received the following disgust ing letter from Ed. M. Wilson, on Fri day last: Clarion, Pa., Sept. 21, 1902. HON. J. C. MII.LIR, Chairman Republican County Committee Ridgway, Pa. DEA R SIR:— I have decided that the situation in this Senatorial district at this time does not justi fy a contest by me with any hope of success, and that it is out of the question for any Republican candidate to receive enough votes in Cameron, Forest and Clarion counties to equalize the ma jority Mr. Hall will receive in Elk county, which was conceded by his opponents after I received the nomination. I have written Senator Penrose to this efTect, and have forwarded to the Secre tary of the Commonwealth at Harrisburg, Pa., my withdrawal as the Republican nominee. If you desire to have any other person in the district accept this nomination and reconvene the conference, as provided by the ballot Act, please let me know the time and place, and I will have the three conferees from this county at tend, and will cheerfnlly do anything I can to aid you in any way. I desire to convey to you my persoual regards, and to thank you for the interest you have taken in the matter. I regret that my judgment has compelled me to conae to this conclusion at this late time. Thisis final. With best wishes, I remain Yours truly, ED. M. WILSON. We have serious doubts if anything could ever be final with so vacilating a man as Mr. Wilson has proved himself to be in this matter, but one thing is settled—Mr. Wilson is certainly not the man the Republican party was search ing for, as he is sorely lacking in nerve. We need a man who can stand up against the boasting gall of Constant Candidate Hall and prove his boast a lie just as Col. Clearwater did so valient ly in 1900. The time was never riper to lay out this arrogant king of the Elk county ring than just now, and all we need is a man of nerve to stand up and make the fight. Mr. Wilson was select ed because he lived in Clarion county, and it was thought he could carry that county against Hall because there is a bitter feeling there against him among the Democrats. Mr. Hall and his heel ers are laughing up their sleeves just now and expeeting an easy victory in the district. They should not laugh quite so soon. It is not too late to find a good man yet and one can be found who is able to defeat the proud and haughty king of Elk county. The ballot law gives plenty of opportunity to fill the vacancy and a man may yet be found togo out to battle with this autocrat of the St. Marys brewery. The people are ready and anxious to down him if they have a chance and they can vote against him this year, without fear, as we have a secret ballot now.—Ridgway Advocate. Engineer's Hallucination. An Olean Dispatch says: T. J. Lynch, a Pennsylvania engineer, whose loco motive was wrecked in a collision at Franklinville, a week ago, has since been wandering about the country, on foot, in an over wrought, frantic con dition. He imagined at the time of the wreck that many people had been killed and that ho was to be held responsible. Nearly crazed with the belief he started on his travels and was not seen by bis friends until to-day, when he came hero nearly exhausted and still bemoaning the terrible occurence at Franklinville. He still believed that he had caused the death of many victims. When assured that he had not been in blame and that nobody had been killed, he was not sufficiently sane to understand and be comforted. Relatives are earring for him. Lynch is a resident of Buffalo. He formely lived in Olean. Family Wedding. Mr. Charles A. Newton and Miss Caroline Conway were united in marriage at the residence of Mr. Jos. Newton last evoning, Rev. Ingersoll officiating.

It's a good one, and mast be true: Hans Hinkenlooper keeps a provision store at Overbrook, within a block or two of the residence of ex-Governor Pattison. Proximity influences misled Hans into supporting the Union party last Fall, and believing that he might go farther on the downward road to de struction, he was invited togo to Read ing to assist in notifying Pattison of his nomination for Governor. Wanting a day of, Hinkenlooper went up to Read ing with the gang. While Pattison and Guthrie were frantically preaching "Reform," and Nolan was keeping the throats of the boys moist so they could yell for "Re form," a half-dozen pickpockets from New York went through the crowd and "touched" Hans for eighty-five dollars. On tho way back to Philadelphia, Mr. Pattison said: "Mr. Hinkenlooper, I was very glad to see you at Reading to day. I presume you intend voting for Pattison, Guthrie and Reform. ' "No, sir. I goes back mit der old barty." "Why, how is that Mr. Hinkenloop er?" asked Mr Pattison, the apostle of non-partisan Reform. "Vel I was a Republican for more as twenty-five years and noddings habben to me, but youst as soon ven I go mit der Battison Reformers heschteal mint, bocketpooks. So Igo back mit der old barty.
