Fourteen years ago I painted my house with these painte and am now, for the first time since, repainting it. H. L. Smith, the painter, says he never knew of a house in better condition for painting after having stood so long. A gentleman, whose name 1 will not mention, living in our town, painted his house thirteen years ago, with these paints and he has engaged some paints to repaint, saying that he would have no other. Dr. Heilman will also testify as to the merits of these paints. County jail painted four years ago. John Lind's two houses painted two years ago and many others, alljspeak for the virtue and staying qualities of these paints, and is better evidence than any man's word.

LUJYO, Tnuunr, WASHINGTON LETTER. (iVom our Regular Oorreipondent.) Washington, May 23, 1903. Editor Pre»»:— Will President Roosevelt be en dorsed by the Ohio state convention for the nomination of 1904? is the question Washington politicana are discussing with unusual interest. Senator Foraker has announced that he will introduce in the con vention a resolution to that effect and Senator Hanna has announced that he will oppose it. Mr. Hanna says that it is too early to adopt a lesolution concerning the next national convention and that a mere expression of approval of the present administration would be the proper method of endorsing the President. The recommendation of his nomination for President he maintains can be properly deferred to next year and he adds that such would be the President's pleasure. Present indications are, however, that regardless of the wishes of Mr. Hanna and those he attributes to the-President the resolution will be adopted. If it is, it will be a severe blow to Mr. Hanna's in fluence in Ohio and will be the first victory of importance in the con test which Mr. Foraker has long maintained against his colleague in the Senate. That the President will be nomi nated and elected is the firm con viction of every republican in Washington and of those who, from time to time, pass through the city. What Senator Hanna's ob jection to the proposed resolution can be is not known but there are two conjectures set forth. One i* to the effect that Mr. Hanna has not yet determined that he will not himself become a candidate. The other is that he believes that he will be able to exercise a greater in fluence at the White House if Ohio has not committed itself to the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt. The first of these Mr. Hanna firmly denies but it is not likely that any one will have the temerity to ques tion him regarding the second. There are indications that Preai j dent Baer, of coal strike notoriety, | has gotten himself into serious | difficulties by refusing to produce, j at the recent hearing ol' the Inter j state Commerce Commission, the j contracts made between the rail j road of which lie i.> president and i the ostensible owners of the coal mines. It was .alleged before the commission that there existed con ! tracts between all the anthracite ; coal mine owing railroads fixing j prices for coal and its transporta tion and Mr. Ilaer was questioned ion the subject but positively de | dined to answer quest ions or to I produce the suppositious contracts. ! The Interstate Commerce Connnis | sion immediately appealed to the j Attorney General to the courts for I a niamlaitious compelling the pro | duction of the contracts answering |of the questions propounded. The j Attorney General promptly re ! spondee! and the necessary order I for a suit has been issued. The prosecution of an interesting • case has just been undertaken by the State Department which in volves a claim of sf»,o<>o,ooo against (treat Hritain for damage acruing from tiie unwarranted and illegal action of President Kruger of the Boor Republic. It appears that one Charles Brown an \inerican mining engineer, acquired certain I milling lands in the Transvaal by I squatter proceedings. 11 is claim : was adjudicated by tin* Boer courts and pronounced valid but Preai- I dent Kruger ordered the decision i of the courts reversed and on the j refusal of the Chief Justice to ••out ply with his instructions, Krugar j deposed him without legal preced ing* and vni'«t«l tiie tit If. Brown appealed to tin* State I *ej»artiiiHiit and the case was taken up but was .Mi»|t«*mled by tin* Boer war. Now it is taken tipagain ag;»iu*t Great Brit tan and that entiiitrx ha* enter tat net I the claim war- ordered a full report on the ease from South \friea. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA.. THURSDAY. MAY 28,190.3. Long Ride. A Party of four men from Philadel phia who left that city about the middle of this month passed through Empori um last Sunday in a locomobile enroute for Buffalo. The machine weighs about 2400 pounds and is a comfortable thing to ride in. Cannot Buy Rum. Burgess Pennypacker, of West Chester is about to adopt a novel scheme to suppress drunkenness on the streets of that city. He will pre sent a list of names of habitual drunk ard's to all saloon keepers and forbid them to sell to those men because of their known Intemperate habits. Dr. Wilcox Will Preach. The Rev. Thos. S. Wilcox, D. D., re cently appointed Prasiding Elder of Williamsport District of the Central Pa., Conference will occupy the pulpit of the First Methodist Episcopal Church next Sunday evening and hold the First Quarterly Conference, Monday evening, June Ist, at 8 o'clock. Big Catch. A parti' of trout fisherman left last Saturday a week for a camp out of several days along the streams of Mc- Kean county,composed of the following gentlemen, accompanied by their wives: H. O. Haupt, Orion Barnes and Jas. G. Earl. The outing was most successful the party catching between 800 and 1,000 trout. Hand Injured. Last Thursday afternoon while Dan'l Shugart was at work setting up stoves for Murry & Coppersmith Co., he re ceived a severe injury of the left hand. He was putting a nickle plate on a stove when his screw driver slipped off, penetrating the palm of the leltf hand. He has been laid up since but hopes to soon be able to resume work. A Question for the Ministers. Two young ladies were recently dis cussing whether or not a minister had to kiss all the bridesmaids at a wed ding. The younger expressed surprise that he should "Have to put his arm around each and kiss her." The elder replied that it was no*; necessary for him to put his arm around them, but that it was "better so" and more "artistic." We think so to, and know ing the young lady would prefer to use both arms and have the music very slow. Regal Shoes Coming to Town. The manufacturers of the celebrated Regal Shoe, have adopted a novel method of supplying Regals to those who live away from the big cities in which their stores are located. The plan is as simple as it is effective. A Regal representative is traveling through the country, stopping for a day in each important town or city He carries with him a complete line of Regal Shoes and takes orders for what tho shoe wearers want, thus giving them the opportunity of selecting from the newest styles the shoes that Ot them perfectly. The Regal man will be at the Warner House, Emporium, June 2d, 1903. Veteran's (irave. When the graves of the soldiers who are sleeping in the old cemetery at Dunnestown are desorated with flowers this year on Memorial day, tho grave of Brewster Freeman, soldier of the revolutionary war will be covered with flowers for the first time. Freeman, while crossing the river here in Decem ber, 1823 broke through tho ice although he was not drowned he was in tiie water so long before he was rescued thai he died within a half hour after. It was only recently that W. J. Smith, who has charge of the cemetery was able to ascertain the exact location of the grave. This has been done to the satisfaction of relatives of Freeman who reside at Emporium, and the grave will be decorated this year for the first time on Memoral dav Loch Haven Epxress. A Delightful Birthday Party. List Thursday b>»ing the birthday of Miss Verena May Hertig, a number of her friends planned a *urpri*e party for her. It was a complete success, every detiil being carrie I out without a miss, by MIX of the loveliest Mioses in the town, one of whom entertain* I Minn Hertig until eveniug and when Mhe returned home ahe found them all there and everything in readiness. Of cour*e she wasn't surprised not after she hod caught her breath and could »pe.tk Sit fortunate boys made in thin cane a lucky thirteen The even ing was made plua*ant with game*, in inic and good things to eat and each went home wixhing Mi** Hertig or one ot the other girt* e mid have an eigh teenth birthday every week, No Smallpox Patient. I Considerable excitement was caused on Monday when the news that a man with the small pox had been put off a freight train at the Junction was an nounced and that he was at large in the borough. The authorities at once began an investigation and the man was located at the office of Dr. S. S. Smith. The house that was reserved by our borough council was properly fitted up and the man taken there, which place he occupied until about 8:30 o'clock. At this hour the fire alarm was sounded and our people were astonished to find that the "pest house"was on fire and nearly consum ed. Some men went to the scene where they found the man lying on a cot enjoying asmoke, having removed about all the contents when he seen the fire could not be extinguished. The man said the fire caught from the sto e pipe at the roof. This unfortunate circumstance caus ed siiil more trouble for our authori ties, who again had to make prepara tions to provide shelter for tne unfor tunate victim, and at once made a search and secured a tent of conven ient size, and it was soon put on the ground, only to fiud that the patient who was the cause of all this bother, had quietly skipped. We have not heard any one say that they were sor ry that he did not stay among us longer. The doctors say there is no danger of the dreaded disease as the patient had not yet arrived at danger ous stage. We sincerely hope this is correct. The man was an employe of the P. & E. railroad company, running be tween Renovo and Kane and was on his way to Renovo when taken sick. The railroad officials being informed of the cause of his sickness, sent word to put him off, consequently quarter* had to be prepared for him. In the meantime a man was sent for to take care of the victim and arrived some time after mid-night, but his ser vices were not needed. Had the sub ject- loft in the afternoon the borough would have been some money in pocket. A Bevy of Charming Lassies. The PRESS sanctum was invaded last Friday by a company of young ladies representing the Christian Endeavor of Presbyterian Chnrch of this place, a noble band of charming young ladies who are engaged in the laudable un dertaking of assisting in the erection of the new church. This band of handsome and not-afraid-to-work-las -1 sies, Miss Carolyn McQuay, Margaret i Montgomery, Verena Hertig, Grace ■ Metzger and Belle Hasted, will every Saturday afternoon offer for sale at Taggarts drug store, delicious home ! made candy, comprising all the sweets. ■ In addition they will serve soda and ice cream—Mr. Taggart having gener ously donated the use of his fountain each Saturday afternoon. Very gen erally, in all Emporium churches the young ladies are hard workers and de serve credit. The ladies above men j tioned remembered the editor with a | quantity of their delicious candies. Hemorial Day Sermon. The annual sermon to the local rep resentatives of the Grand Army of the j Republic was preached last Sunday ] evening in the First Methodist Epis -1 copal church by the Rav. J. M. Robert son, Rector of Emmanuel Protestant Episcopal Church and was charaeteriz led by ability appropriatness and a lofty spirit ot patriotism. The mem i bersofthe G. A. R., twelve in number, j aud the ladies of the Relief Corps at tended in a body. These services became morer and more pathetic with the passing years, ' the thinning ranks pointing a lesson whose meaning none can mistake. The singing by the combined choirs was beauitful and impressive. Big Circus Coming. The advance agent for John Robin son's circus was in town on Monday making arrangements to exhibit here on June ltith. This show, which is one of the largest on the road, wan here about two yearn ago and gave general satisfaction. Their daily supplies in ; eludes 6,000 pounds of hay, 3,000 pjuudi of Htraw, 125 bushels of oats, 3VJloavea of bread, 20 gallons of milk and 1,200 pounds of meat. Annual Convention.

John Berg a Swede, committed sui cide near Smethport last week by hanging. Ho had worked at Keating Summit and various other points in Potter county. The cause of the act is not fully known. The boys had good luck spearing up West Creek Monday night. They took "Jimmie" along to carry the oil can, it being something he couldn't eat. He tumbled over tho bank, rolling into the creek and spilling the oil. "Jimmie" will tag along and get into mischief. Editor Layman, of Port Allegany Reporter, very truthfully says: It is always best to wait for the evidence before passing judgment. When we hear reports detrimental to young ladies or gentlemen, it is better to be charitable. To-day it is somebody else's girl or boy. To-morrow it may be ours. Hon. J. C. Sibley established a new automobile record for this section of the country the other day, when he took a party from this city to Cam bridge Springs in two hours, a distance of 44 miles. This is a little better time than one could make on the railroad. —Vanango Press. An exchange says a new bunco game is being worked on unwary mer chants throughout the country. A man enters the store, shows a Govern ment badge and states that he is in the secret service and on the lookout for i counterfeit money. He looks over the 'drawer and invariably finds four or fivt) "counterfeit" dollars which he confiscates. The whole thing is a fraud. | The Postofflce Department has is sued an order that special delivery mail addressed to bona-flde patrons of the rural routes will bo delivered by rural carries at patrons' dwellings without regard to their distauces from the routes. A bona tide patron of the j rural service is o.ie who has properly j ere 'ted on a rural route a mailbox ! whice has received the approval of the Po'itoffice Department for use on such routes. J The East Ward fishing party has re- I turned with a wonderful tale of fish caught and eaten, all but the tails which j they fed to the horse and the tale they I are feeding their friends. Eight hun -1 dred fish is a big (..itch, unless a pair of glares enable them to count double, | or two cases of pop, to see double, and , still they had ample time to darn socks , and flirt with the passing trains. But we know it is all true, for the story was carefully rehearsed and they can show ! where they cooked the fish. Hurrah for the American girl! Listen to what somebody who knows has recently said about her: ' The American girl is the most competent girl in the world. She can do more work, and do it better than any other girl upon the shores of the Seveu Seas. She can play, too, as heartly as she works. She is beautiful, well dressed, well cared for, and she is a creature of Huperb health. Given a bouse she can make it real, comfortable, even beauti ful; and when she loves enough she make* a home that is a home out of her house." Twelfth Regiment Band.
