RHE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, I * 1866. VOL. 38. A BIU JUBILEE EVENT. Welsh Bros'. Shows Promise Many Rare Sights and Up-to-Daie Features. The town and vicinity is heavily bill ed for the appearance of the famous Welsh Bros'. Big Railroad Shows. The Welsh Bros, do not come here as strang ers or adventurers, but as proprietors of a show whose reputation with press and public stands second to none. Its success has been achieved by the fun damental principle of offering the best in the market at the lowest price. It is strictly moral in tone and character and not one word said or done to offend the most fastidious lady or gentleman. The features this year are better than ever, one of the most prominent is the renowned Takezawa Royal Japanese Troupe (eight people). These dexteri ous Orientals appear in many amazing acrobatic and novelty acts, all gorge ously embellished with unique and costly paraphernalia and costumes typ ical of their native land. Another great card is the introduction of Prof. John White's conclave of trained animals, which comprises several Arabian hors es, twenty-five dogs, goats, mules and monkies, all marvelously trained and exhibiting exploits and tricks out of the ordinary line. Then there are many big rerialistic acts, clever lady gymnasts, up-to-date clowns, jugglers, wire walkers, and sensational special ists of every kind. Seats are provided for five thousand persons; uniformed ushers are in attendance to look after the wants and comfort of patrons. The street parade will leave the show grounds on the morning of the exhi bition promptly at ten o'clock. The exact day and date hero is Emporium, Monday, August 17th, at 2 and 8 p. m. nr. Gallagher's Melon Party. Last Saturday Mr. Thoa. Gallagher gave a melon party for a number of his friends, composed of the two young ladies from Buffalo; Miss Thomas; Miss Steck; Miss Linglo; Miss Nangle; Mrs. Moore, and Mrs. Gioyos. "T. C." wis right at home with the melon knife and after supplying each with a hunk of the melon, slipped into a crowded spot among the girls to have his picture "took" by Mr. Grant Allen, who was perched upon a barrel with his camera. Grant is pretty sure of footing but when he did tumble down he took a small boy with him; said he never did like togo places alone. "Dick" was so busy eatiug melon that he never noticed a handful of seeds one of the girls poured down the back of his neck. Ruben "smelled de mel on" from the furnace and came running over to see what was doing. He oblig ingly agreed to pose for his picture showing "de white folks how to eat melon," if given a whole one to operate on, together with the irrepressible small boys who were ready to "dig in" at the word "go!" Unfortunately the girls could not stay long. Gome again ladies, all of you—and more; we are never so busy but what we are glad to see you, and after a short visit with you, the sun shines brighter, the world seems better, and our burdens lighter.

The dates for Cameron county, place not selected, is January 19, 20 and 21. A Contemptible Trick. Some miscreants sneaked into the back room of Mr. Taggart's drug store, Saturday morning, and stole most of the Candy Kitchen Club's candy, which they had made for the afcernoon sale; much to the regret of their many cus tomers who think there is no candy quite so good as what the girls make. As the procoeds from the sale of their candy goes to the new church building fund, it was a particularly contemp tible steal. The PRESB will have an eye on the watch for these persons and if we catch them their taste for candy will be spoiled for some time to come. Woodsman's Awfu! Fate Under Engine. Henry Herring, a woodsman, was in stantly killed on the Philadelphia and Erie railroad Saturday night. He left the station at Wetliam shortly after 10 o'clock, saying that he intended walk ing to the home of Joseph Johnson, a mile or more away. He started up the railroad tracks, and had gone only half a mile when he was struck by an east bound light train, consisting of engine and caboose. He was horribly mangled, and death must have been instantaneous. His head was crushed and both legs broken. Coroner Shoemaker was called, but he did not deem an inquest necessary, as the facts showed the death to have been accidential. Herring was about forty-seven years of age.—Williams port Sun. Delighted With Emporium. Miss Edna Becker and Miss Florence Robertson, two charming young ladies of Buffalo, who arrived in our town some two weeks ago to visit Miss Eva Yates, left Sunday for home, via Por tage Falls. They report having the jolliest kind of a time here and were as sorry to leave us as we were to have them go. Miss Yates gave a little j party for them in the Reading Room, j on their arrival, where they met many ; of our young folks and from that on found their time crowded full of walks, ; drives and delightful little parties. I Last Friday they made a trip to the woods on the E. & R. V. R. R. with Mr. and Mrs. Lingle. Mr. Lingle is The Man of the, woods and togo with him is an open sesame to the hospital ity of the road and camps. They say they had a dinner at Gamp 19 which would have been a credit to the chef of ' a city hotel. "Jimmie" Murphy fur -1 nished the surprise of the day, with a practical demonstration of the uinount of grub a healthy country buy can stow away. Fortunately Mr. Davison with his supply traiu arrived before it was time to get the men's supper, else Jimmie would not have gotten an invi tation to visit Gamp 19 again—at meal time. The girls attended Mr. Galla gher's melon party Saturday and hur ried away for a drive over our beauti ful lii lis. Come again, next summer, ladies, and you will find we have not forgotten you. If you want a good suit of clot hes for a very small price, make N.Seger a call and you will be convinced that ut his store is the cheapest place this part of the state to buy your clothing. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 13,1903. Fatal Accident. Harry Cleveland, whose parents re side at Bells Run, about nine miles from Port Allegan3', was the victim of a fatal accident last Sunday night at the Em porium Junction. He was employed as a brakeman on a west-bound freight, and had left his train to deliver a mes sage, when a car on which there was no light and whose approach he did not nee, in the prevailing darkness struck him,the wheels passing over both legs, horribly mangling them. He was taken to the trainmen's office near by and Dr. Smith summoned, but owing to his extremely weak condition, a reaction being awaited, an operation was not at tempted. He lingered about two hours and surrounded by his physician, the Rev. Metzler, who, at his request, had been sent for, and a large number of his sympathetic and true hearted fel low workmen, he passed away. It was a truly pathetic scene and its impression must long abide. Deceased was about 22 years old, and had been employed as a brakeman for nearly a year on the run from Renovo to Kane. He enjoyed the esteem of all the boys who speak in praise of his many manly qualities. His father arrived soon after his death and the remains were taken to Bells Run for burial. The New Presbyterian Church. The laying of the foundation facing stones of the new church is about com pleted. They are beautiful stones and artistically laid. Wo are told that it would only costabout fourteen hundred dollars more to face the entire building with them, instead of brick. This would make it one of the most beauti ful churches in this section of the State, and add greatly to the beauty of the town, besides harmonizing with those fine old maple trees and the stone Episcopal church across the street. Our townspeople, who are ever gener ous in church matters, have watched, with admiration, the magnificent strug gle the Presbyterians are making to build their church, from the youngest member in the Sunday School to the oldest member in the congregation, and would be glad to contribute dire3tly or indirectly to this added cost, if gi%'en the opportunity to do so. Take a Stand Against Lynching. There has been an alarmingly in creased number of lynchings during the past few months, in Northern as well as in Southern States. We have often wondered what would be the re suit if an occasion should arise in Em porium to tempt the spirit of lawless mob vindictiveness. It is highly prob able that with the same provocation that has been given in other places, a lynching mob could be as easily as sembled here as elsewhere, unless we shall school ourselves strongly in ad vance in a sentiment that is unalter ably opposed to all lawlessness. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Let the idea that all lynching is murder take fast hold of our minds. That is what a right minded jurist, like Justice Brewer, calls it. If we shall all make up our minds in advance that lynching is wrong and not to be tolerated and if we determine resolutely in advance that we will do all in our power to up hold the hands of the law if the hour of trial should come, there can be no doubt that the majesty of the law will remain unsullied among us. Every citizen should read the letter of Presi dent Roosevelt to Governor Durbin of Indiana. No against lynching has appeared from any quarter. Another thing to remember in this connection. The underlying idea which impeils to lynching and other forms of mob violence is the thought that law has not been and is not going to bo ! justly administered. There is no doubt I reason sometimes for complaint of the ! law's delay and of miscarriages of jus ! tice; but on the other hand it is far too j easy to exaggerate these evils. Many ! people allow themselves to fall into a j sneering and cynical spirit. They af ; feet to see no truth or honor or justice ( anywhere. They sneer at civil author- J ities and at all in places of influence I and responsibility. As for their own part and responsibility in the life and government of the community, they seem utterly oblivious to it. They al ways say "they" when speaking of the organized community, never "we". We should discourage this base spirit in ourselves and in others. It feeds the monster of anarchy and lawless ness. The Kandy Kitchen Klub will bold a lawn ice cream social at the home of Chaa. Clark on sth street, Friday even ing, August 14th. Everybody oome and see how nica tho K. K. K. will do you up. FLORA SCIIUSCHT, President. Base Ball. There will be a game of base ball at Howard Park to-morrow afternoon be tween Austin and Emporium teams, weather permitting. Festival on Saturday Night. The Howard Siding M. E. congrega tion will hold a festival in the school house, on Saturday evening, Aug. 15, to which all are cordially invited. Camping Out. Mr. and Mrs. John Gleason and Dr. and Mrs. Corbett, of Driftwood, form a merry party of campers who have pitched their tents at a point near Huntley for a week or more. Entertains Batchelor Ciirls. Mr. Josiali Howard, t'ris evening en tertains the Bachelor Girls, giving a dance in the Park Pavilion in honor of her niece, Miss Encie Howard, and Miss Howard's guests's Misses Ixiuise and Elizabeth Searles, of Herkimer, N. Y. Efforts Crowned With Success. The festival given at Cameron on Saturday evening was a very great success. The finance committee ap pointed by the Pastor of the M. E. Church, showed their ability along this line by netting $84.05. The com mittee as appointed were: Mr. Doutt and wife; Mr. Swan and wife, and Mrs. Dininney. These were ably assisted by several others and especially by the young ladies. Will Leave Us. The many friends of Dr. and Mrs. A. W. Baker will be sorry to learn that they have decided to leave Emporium. The Dr. and his estimable wife have been residents of our town for the past nine or ten years and have a host of warm friends who will regret to see them go. They will depart for Wil liamsport about September Ist and take up their residence at 427 Park Avenue. May they ever continue to prosper, is our wish. Why Not Emporium? It is authoritatively announced that the Penn'a li. R. Company will erect a .•$20,000 stone and brick depot at Port Allegany. While congratulating our neighbor on its deservedly good for tune the right of Emporium to a like improvement cannot be gainsayed. The accommodations at the Junction are obviously inadequate, and it is earnestly hoped that the Company in recognition of this fact will make early provision for the comfort of its travel ing patrons. Italians Arrested. On Tuesday night Chief of Police Mundy received a telegram from the Chief of Police, of St. Marys, to be on the lookout for nine Italians who were wanted at the latter place. It appears that the men were brought from New York city to work on the railroad but when they arrived they refused togo to work and took a tie pass to Empo rium where they were arrested yester day morning and taken back on Erie mail. Tailor Shop /"loved. J. L. Fobert has moved his tailoring establishment into rooms at the Odd Fellows Hall, where h» will be pleased to greet his old customers. Mr. Fobert has established a nice bnsiness in Hm porium and is continually looking for opportunities whereby he can better serve the trade. If you want a neat fitting and well made suit of clothes call on him. Read his new ad. in another column. His Way of It, Master Earl McDougall, son of Ale*. McDougall, visited Portage Falls last Sunday. Everybody knows Earl, and especially some of his unique traits of character. One of these is his perse verence to obtain money, and his anx iety to spend it. It is useless to say that he is a "dyed-in-the-wool" Demo crat—a chip oil' the old block in this particular -but, notwithstanding, there is not a thing that will quench his de sire to "loosen'' when he's got it, and so it was at the Falls. He purchased of everything in sight until he had but ten cents left, and as he was ascending the steps of the car, the last "speeler" on the list presented a button photo of "Teddy", and true to his nature Earl out with his ten cents and made the purchase. He said he did'nt like him very well, but ho was pretty good look ing, and that ton cents was getting hot. Bye Specialist. Prof. W. H. Budine, the well known Eye Specialist, <»f liinghamton, N. Y., will be at li. H. Ilirsch's jewelry store, Emporium, Pa , August 14th and 15th If you can't see well or have headache don't fail to call and see Prof. Budine, as he guarantees to cure all such cases.

This wholesome counsel is often needed by young men who are discon tented on account of the demands which their situation makes upon them. There is something that is of far more importance to us than the spirit of restless, feverish excitement, it is the possessiou of a calm, strong, earnest and thoughtful character. There is one condition of success that is absolutely essential, viz., strict, in telligent, faithful, hearty attention to our business, whatever it may be. Whether we are waiting on customers in a store,or are in charge of books in a counting room, or at work in mill or shop,or field, we should study to do onr own business, to do it well, to do it heartily, to do it faithfully, putting all the intelligence into it that we possess. And in doing our work we should "study also to be quiet." We shall have many occasions to exercise a firm control over self. Many times we shall be tempted to give way to a spirit of restlessness and discontent We shall think that the hours are long, that the demands made upon us are severe, that our reward is small and our promotion slow. We will be tempted sometimes to think that others are shown more favor than we, and that the best thing, therefore for us to do is to throw up the ungrateful situation. The best counsel that we can receive at such a time is the message: "Study to be quiet." Let us control our rest lessness and discontent. We must not expect to have everything arranged strickly according to our present liking. We very probably have to do with others who are older and presumably wiser than we are. Our employer ur super intendent very possibly understands ourselves. His demands may not ba so unreasonable as we feel disposed to imagine. Let us "study to bj quiat." Let us be patient Let us not become any less faithful or diligent or pains taking. All things come to him who wait 3. Great rewards or recognition seldom come early. Let us bo c intent, or at least patient, if we 593 others better known or better paid than wo. If we keep command of ourself, if we maintaiu a quiet and contended mind, if we keep steadily at our own proper business, we shall achieve a success of which we shall not need to be ashame.d Baptist Church Notes. The pastor will begin a series of seven sermons next Sabbath morning: "The Seven Covenants of the Bible." The Adamic; the Noachic; the Abra hamic; the Mosaic; the Deuteronomic; the Davidic the New.

The Wednesday evening prayer and praise service is largely attended, but as there are several vacant chairs, we shall be delighted to have them oc cupied by YOU.

People quit growing old at forty half a cientury ago. They quit it when they ceased thinking themselves old at forty, ceased dressing themselves old at forty, and ceased actually being old at forty, not to speak ot thinking themselves old at forty. What have become of the widow's caps, and the matron's caps, and the solemn and stiff suits our fathers and grandfathers wore at forty? Gone to perdition and the clo' junk shop, where they ought to have been. The young man of flfly or sixty now wears the natty sack tweeds or serges that his son or grand son wears tipped off with a jaunty hat. He goes to baseball, the races, he keeps up with the possession, and is all in for a good time in moder- ; at ion, healthfully. The young women i with him in white or colors, with the gay hat, who has the manners of a youthful, but self respecting girl of j twenty in the last century, is his wife perhaps a grandmother, but none the less young and happy yet They feel young, they dress young, they believe themselves young and in the language of the late A.

The Corner Stone Club had a letter last WOua iiuui Ui.loo UUaiu iVdlUOl* 4l> former member, now of Denver, Col., expressing keen interest in the doings of the club and their efforts to raise money for the new church. She writes she can hardly wait for the PRESS to see what progress is being made on the church. Miss Warner's heart is in her native town and home church. Her in terest and enthusiasm greatly encour ages the club. In addition to the usual oath of al!e<- giance the new oath which foreigners desiring to become naturalized citizens of the United States will be compelled to take hereafter contains this clause: "That Ido not advocate or teach the duty, necessity or propriety of the un lawful assaulting or killing of any offi - cer or officers, either of specific individ uals or of officers generally, of the gov ernment of the United States or of any other organized government, because, of his or their official character. Milton Standard: Down ic the "Marsh" between Milton and Montan don, there is a man living who several years ago married a woman who died after two children had been born.. Shortly after her death he married a. widow with two daughters. Two children were born to them when she died and he afterwards married the oldest step-daughter. They now have two children by the last marriage and the neighbors are trying to figure out the relationship of the children to each, other.

One of the bugbear's of old time people in night air and there is little exaggeration in saying the supersti tion against night air has killed more people than the free circulation of it has ever injured.
