MRS. H. FRANCES HOLBROOK, aged
70 years and one month, died at the

Monday after an illness of several
years, suffering from a complication of
diseases. The family came to Empori
um in 1870, when A. G. Holbrook, de

Dr. D. H. Lamb Visits Emporium.
D. H. Lamb, one of Galeton's most
prominent business men, accompanied
by his wife, came to Emporium last
Saturday to visit old friends, guests of
Prothonotary C. Jay Goodnough and
wife. This is Mr. Lamb's first visit
hei'e since the terrible accident befell
him last May, which resulted in the
amputation of his right arm. The Dr.
takes his misfortune like a soldier and
appears to get along quite well —in fact
the Dr. says he can catch just as many
fish with one band as two, which he
demonstrated recently at Kcuka Lake,
while visiting his vineyard. Mr. and
Mrs. Lamb ai'e meeting many of our
citizens and evidently enjoying their
visit.
Found a Diamond.
A large excursion from Washington
and Philadelphia passed through this
city on Friday on its way to Niagara
Falls, and one of the passengers was a
wealthy lady of Washington. Before
the train reached Emporium the wo
man told Conductor Beachler, of Har
risburg, that she had lost a valuable
diamond ring since starting on the ex
cursion. She was told that everything
possible would be done to find it for
her.
Upon his return trip Conductor
Beachler told Stationmaster Hyman at
the upper station of the loss of the
diamond. "Yes," replied Mr. Hyman,
"and we have it for you." The excur
sion train had stopped 20 minutes at
the station here, and during that time
the Washington woman had left the
train and gone to the toilet room in the
station. Shortly after the train had
departed, Mrs. Obourn found a dia- 1
mond ring on the washstand in the
toilet room. She promptly handed the
gem over to Superintendent Lincoln
and the latter sent it to the owner.—

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Sept. 7, 1903.
Editor
The Alaskan Boundry Commis
sion is now in session in London
and the proceedings arc being fol
lowed with intense interest both
by officials of the State Department
and by those citizens familiar with
the contentions of the United
States and Great Britain. Already
the American commissioners have
made a strong point. It is that
the United States has, from the
time of the cession of Alaska to
the present day, maintained but
one interpretation of the treaty of
1X25. The Canadians or British
contentions, on the other hand,
have varied repeatedly. From a
demand that the dividing line be
drawn on the -list meridian, down
to the contention that the line be
drawn straight across such arms of
the sea as Glacier Bay and Lynn
canal, the British have been modi
fying their demands and giving
evidence ofpossesing a claim which
must depend for success on skillful
diplomacy rather than on an
equitable interpretation of (lie
facts. The presence of ex-Secre
tary of State Foster as ' agent'' of
the American commissioners is a
source of gratification to the State
Department as it is realized that
he is more than any other individ
ual. able to present the case of this
country in its strongest light and
hopes arc running high as to the
eventual outcome of the proceed
ings:
The European squadron has ar
rived at Beirut but so unsettled
are conditions in Turkey reported
to be that the State Department is
waiting for further advises from
Minister Leishman before instruct
ing Admiral Cotton to open the
sealed orders lie found awaiting
him. The situation in Constanti
nople has become so grave that
the government has been obliged to
advise the ambassadors and minis
ters to guard their embassies and
legations with unusual care. The
Turkish government has added to
the street patrol in the vicinity of
the foreigli quarter and the diplo
mats have generally called upon
the station ships of their respective
nations for guards or marines.
The United States legation now
has a small guard of paid police
but Minister Leishman had been
authorized to call upon Admiral
Cotton for a squad of marines if
the situation seems to warrant it.
It is also possible that one of the
American vessels, probably the
Macliias will go through the Dar
danelles and another oft* Constanti
nople in order that it may be in
readiness to receive the Minisiter
and his family in the event of a
general uprising. While there is a
provision in the treaty effected
just after the Crimean war pro
hibiting war ships from enterning
the Dardenelles there is also a I
clause which permits the entry of
one ship of each friendly power
when Turkey is itself at war.
Fatal Accident.
An Italian employed on P. & E. R.
R., cinder crew, was almost instantly
killed at the furnace on Sunday, living
but one hour after the accident. He
was leaning over the side irons of the
elevator watching the hoist and evi
dently did not know that another
elevator was coming down. The top
of his head was crushed. Dr. Bard
well was called but the poor unfortu
nate, who had only been in this coun
try a very few months and leaves a
wife in Italy, soon passed to the great
beyond. His remains were bur
ied from St. Marks church on Monday.
This makes the fourth death that has
occurred at the works and neither of
the unfortunates being in Mr. Brady's
employ.
Holding His Own.
At this writing our friend Hinkle,
who has been very near death's door
for several weeks, is somewhat better
and holding his own. Dr. H. W. Good
came up from Philadelphia last Sun
day and, at the reqest of the family, a
consultation of physicians held, which
was attended by Dra. Good, Dcbong,
j Heilman and Bardwell. The doctors
j see a hope and are fighting for that
| hope.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10,1903.
The Civil War in England.
Apropos of tho pleasing and in
structive spectacular entertainment
which will be given in the opera house
next week and which will no doubt re
ceive the largo patronage it deserves,
a few words regarding the Civil War
in England in the seventeenth century
may be in place.
There is a common tendency, due in
part to prejudice and in part to in
tellectual sloth to try to simplify too
much our views of historical epochs.
"The passion for broad generaliza
tions," says Morley, "works havoc
with truth'" We try too much to see
in every great contest a plain issue be
tween right and wrong, between ty
ranny and freedom, or between law
and anarchy. This undiscriminating
tendency may very easily lead either
to the apotheosis of Cromwell as "the
transcendental hero and liberator of
mankind," or to the vilification of him
as a hypocritical and blood stained
usurped
As regards tho religious aspect of
the strife, it is a mistake to suppose
that the issue centered in the principle
of toleration. The contest was be
tween opposing and mutually intoler
ant systems. King Charles and Laud
contended for the divine right of epis
copacy. The theory of divine right is
in its nature doctrinaire and visionary;
it is up in the air; it is unrelated to
practical human experience. Had
Charles and Laud held to the sober
position of Richard Hooker, who vin
dicated episcopacy on the substantial
and comprehensible ground of exper
ience, they would never have inaug
urated the trivial and visionary policy
which led to such acts as the cropping
of Prynne and Post wick. On the other
hand, the Puritan opposed episcopacy
on grounds quite as doctrinaire and
visionary as those on which Charles
and Land contended for it. Against
the theory of the divine right of epis
copacy they set up the equally irrat
ional theory of the divine right of
presbytery or congregation, as the
case may be. They did not oppose
episcopacy on any broad and intelligi
ble ground of experience, but on the
fantastic ground that episcapacy is
divinely wrong. In this clash of op
posing systems, each claiming exclu
sive devine right, it is difficult to see
how the Puritan of the seventeenth
century can be regarded as the cham
pion of the principle of religious tolera
tion. Moderate royalists like Folk
land and Jeremy Taylor had that prin
ciple at heart in an unspeakably larger
measure than had the zealots of the
Parliament of 1656, who punished a
crazy fanatic by tortures as horrid as
any that Laud ever inflicted. The
friends of toleration, such as Folklaud,
Taylor and Hall, on the one side, and
Seldom, Baxter and Milton, on the
other, were men whose level of
thought was far above that of the
visionary exthemists who precipitated
the strife. It is probably safe to say
that although Cromwell was singu
larly free from the vice of a religious
intolerance, toleration as a principle
or cause in itself was not a part of his
defined policy. He had nothing to do
with abstract principles; it was always
conditions and not theories that con
fronted him. As Lord Protector his
single aim was to establish a settled
and firm government, and he was
well content to leave religionists of
every sort unmolested so long as they
did not seek to undermine his power.
But even in this attitude the Puritans
as a body gave him little or no
support.
Though the strife under its religious
aspect was not waged about the issue
of toleration, it did indirectly pro
mote the cause of toleration by demon
strating the futility and harmfulness
of intolerance.
Under its civil aspect tho cause of
the Puritans was the cause of consti
tutional freedom as long as the puri
tans were merely the opposition party.
But with the establishment of the
Commonwealth and the Protectorate
the face of things was changed. No
English sovereign ever based his rulo
upon principles more arbitrary than
did Cromwell. He was at constant
strife with his Parliaments. The ex
plusion of the Long Parliament was as
high handed an outrage upon the prin
ciples of constitutional government as
was the ineffectual attempt of Charles
to seize the five members in 1641. The
Lord Protector imposed taxes upon
the nation without Parliamentary auth
ority, the very thing by which Charlet
precipitated the civil war. James I.
declared that his rule was based upon
the common weal, not the common
will, and Charles from the scaffold as
serted that "people are free under a
government, not by being sharers in it,
but by due administration of the laws of
it." Singularly like these utterances
are those of the Lord Protector: "The
people will prefer their real security to
forms." "Yet 1 have another argu
ment to the good people of this nation
whether they would prefer having their
will, though it be their destruction,
rather than comply with things of
necessity."
The difference between Charles and
Cromwell was that Charles was arbi
trary because he wished to be, while
Cromwell was arbitrary because condi
tions obliged him to bo. Furthermore,
althoHgh Cromwell came finally to
stand on Charles' principle that people
are to be ruled, not according to what
they like, but according to what is
best for them, the ideas of Cromwell
with regard to tho good of the people
were immeasureably nobler and more
I real than those of Charles. Cromwell
j was an Englishman through and
j through, and he had the Enplishman's
| instinctive perception of the practical
| both in ends and means. Charles was
j a foreigner in blood, in temperament
! and ideas. He was moreover a vision-
I ary pedant. "His fault," says Morley,
—and no statesman can have a worse
—was that he never saw things as they
1 are." J. M. R.
Handsome Front.
The handsome pressed brick front
just completed in N. Seger's block, oc
cupied by R. Seger & Son, next to
Bank, is a very great improvement
and a credit to the wide-awake citizen.
Limestone Coating.
Manager Brady of the iron works,
who is a firm believer in good roads,
has given the Borough 250 tons of
crushed limestone, which is now being
placed on Fourth street cinder road
way. It bids fair to be a success when
once rolled sufficiently.
The Piano Fund.
While the audience in attendance
Friday evening was not as large as
wished for such a worthy purpose,
those who did attend were given a
rich treat. Miss Gilmore, the elocu
tionist, was well received and repeat
edly encored. Miss Frank Huntley's
singing was simply grand and com
pletely captivated the audience. Hope
we may have more ot it.
Outing.
The I. F. F. club gave a dance at
Keystone Park Pavilion last Friday
evening, the party being chaperoned
by Mr. and Mrs. S. Kline and Mr. and
and Mrs. John Butler. Among the
out of town guests were: Misses
Mayme Walsh, of Johusonburg; Etta
Fotchman, St. Marys; Messrs. Jessee
Young, Horace Smith, Pat Duffy,
Frank Anderson, Bud McManigal, Re
novo; John Hackett, Ned Hackett,

Oliver Cromwell Entertainment.
Elegant costumes, capable partici
pants, splendid music and beautiful
lessons of the 17tli century life in Eng
land will be some of the pleasing fea
tures of the Cromwell entertainment
at the opera house on next Monday
and Tuesday evenings, Sept. 14th and
15th.
Oliver Cromwell was the great man
of the 17th century. The forces he set
to work brought about religious tolera
tion and a church supported by volun
tary contributions. Macaulay, the his
torian, says:"The work of Cromwell
contained the principle which has
made life tolerable inSaxton countries.
It gave religious freedom to the Dis
senter, it secured the independence
of judges, it limited tho duration of
Parliaments, it placed the press under
the jurisdiction of juries, it brought
about the law which relieved Roman
Catholics of civil disabilities, it reform
ed the system of representation, and
his work enlarged the civil liberties of
the race.
The costumes used in the entertain
ment are intended to be part of the
great object lesson in history. They
are elaborate and gorgeous, of silks,
satins and velvets,costing nearly §3,000.
The Scottish soldiers' suits made in
Glasgow, Scotland for Mrs. Monroe
alone costing S4OO. In the summer of
1900 Mrs. Monroe visited the Paris
Exposition and the costume of each
lady in the third scene (the scene in
which the crown is offered to Crom
well) is a reproduction of the cos
tume worn by some great women con
temporary with Cromwell. Marie de
Medici, Annie of Austria, Henrietta
Maris, etc , the original of these being
shown in the Palais de Costume at the
Exposition
Rehearsals for the entertainment
have been in progress for nearly two
weeks and the participants are doing
splendid work and will give the pro
duction an excellent rendition.
Mrs. H. E. Monroe, of Washington,
D. C., the originator and lecturer of
the affair is a distinguished woman.
For fifteen years she was president of
what is now Midland College at Atcli
isoi , Kas. She is the author of four
books—"The Art of Conversation,"
"Heroine of the Mining Camp,"
"Washington, Its Sights and Insights"
and "Historical Lutheranism," the
last named having been translated in
to thirteen different languages. In her
travels in England, Scotland, Ireland,
Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
France, Switzerland and Italy she has
seen most crowned heads of Europe,
including the late Pope Leo XIII by
whom she with other Americans was
received.
The entertainment will begin
promptly at eight o'clock. Chart for
reserved seats opens Friday morning,
Sept. 11th, at eight o'clock at H. S.
Lloyd's. Following is the elaborate

Interesting Letter from Mr. Fee.
Editor Press:
DEAR SIR:—I was requested by
several friends to write The PRESS
on my arrival here, how 1 found
things, etc. I left Emporium with
feeling of regret, and the last glimpse
1 had of the town was mixed with a
pathetic picture of the gallant Junction
ticket seller, anxiously feeling of a
spot on his lip where a hair of a fixture
mustache was expected to appear.
1 arrived here Tuesday morning, on
schedule time, coming in at the
magnificent new station of the Rock
Island Iload which was not completed
when 1 left, getting down onto the
street. The rush of cable trains, trol
ley cars and teams was bewildering,
and to eros.s, loaded down with a well
worn grip in one hand and two um
brellas in the other, seemed hopeless,
until I realized I must run and "duck"
for it, suceedad fairly well, onlv call
ing down the wrath of an Express
driver who shouted something with
"rube" mixed up in it at me, I turned
and said a few things to him iu chofce
Chicago- 6.=- -, ho laughingly admitted
his mistake and apologized. [ found a
few change-. other places and faces so
familiar as to make me feel I had not
not been away al all; I found the same
barber who had told he had solved the
problem 01 beating the races and if
some one would only stake him for
twenty-five dollors, he would make a
hundred thousand before September as
he was still shaving people. Presume
lie could r.ot get any one to stake him.
Hunted up our !w town's bovs.
Harry and Oriow Jordan, Or low had
his coat off and hair in his eyes, star
ing hopelessly at a long column of
iigures and complaining that they took
his appetite away. Harry was keep
ing things on the move in a big whole

When I went to ray old time restaur
ant for my breakfast of coffee and rolls,
I found the three large rolls had
shrunk to two small ones, which left a
crying need for more, a3 I brought a
country appetite back with me. They

ordered whitcfish, without tomato
sauce. I got the sause all right, which
pored over my flsh puts me in about
the same kind of humor as does a cup
of hot coffee spilled down the back of

I gave the baggage man the check for
my big telescope grip, which con

cannot servo your fellow men unless
you are willing to touch them." The
