Democratic Chairman of Potter County Says the Only Trust Ignored at St. Louis was Trust in G-od. The only trust, I believe, for gotten or ignored by the national convention was the trust in (iod," is the declaration of L. B. Seibert, leader of the Potter county Demo cratic bolters. Seibert who has resigned the j chairmanship of the Democratic! county committee, and his follow- j ers in the revolt feel no more kind- | ly disposed to the Parker-Davis ! ticket than they did the day it was I nominated. They say they are I not to be wheeled about by the j convention's repudiation of Bryan- j ism, and they charge the nomina- j tion of Parker directly to the in- , fluence of Wall street and the | trusts. CAN'T TIt.YVUI, ON TWO ROADS, The ex-county chairman has put | forth what might be called a pro- ! claniation, in the course of which i he says: To me, it is 110 consequence what others may do. My con-j science is my own; my duty is j plain. In my judgement the two; contending forces within the Demo- j cratic party have come to the part- j ing of the ways. Along both of i these pathways I am unable to travel with any degree of safety, j success or self-respect. Neither j shall I undertake it. To others of | a more acrobatic turn of mind this | might be possible, and, indeed, ! may meet with a certain de- j gree of transitory success. The heritage of Jackson, 110 j longer the Mecca of Democratic hosts, is to be displaced by a j memorial to Shylock, erected at! the gateway of the Temple of: Democracy, over which, indeed, | well be incribed: "He who en-1 ters here leaves hope behind." From Buzzard's Hay to W'ool fert's Roost; from Wall to Lom bard street, is sounded, echoed and : re-echoed this slogan of the pres- j ent. campaign: "Another Cleve land; another administration like | that of from 1892 to 1890: more! soup houses; more bond issues; j more forced idleness—less honest toil: more money in the public jackpot—less bread for the hungry ! millions; more Coxey's armies— j less public improvement; more J keep off the grass—less comfort for ( God's poor: more smokeless smoke-1 stacks; more tramps: more troops j for Chicago rioters—less liberty for! the American workman, more gov- j ernment by injuntion—less jury ; trials: more banks—less money for ! the people; more business stagna- , tion—less enterprise: more Sheriff's : sales; more poor houses." AI'I'AI,LI:N JIV I'AHTY'S COURSJC From a repetition of this awful condition of things. 1 turn, as I , would from the wrath of God. It does not interest me; it appals. 1 It does not satisfy: it angers me. The men in the Democratic saddle are good riders, but bad reinsmen. They would ride the Democratic horse off Belmont's track. Such conduct, such conditions, j Fred fliller Demised. Fred Miller, an aged resident of this city, died Saturday morning after a brief illness. He had worked on Fri day and was considered to be in his . usual health. Heart disease was the cause. He was fifty years of age and had been a laborer in the Port Alle gany tannery for upwards of twenty years. A wife and three children, Nel lie, Katie and Albert Miller, mourn his demise. He was an honest, good citizen and his demise is generally de plored. He was a member of the Mac cabees of the city and carried a poiicy for two thousand dollars. The funeral was held Monday, Rev. Reed officiat ing Jand the interment made in Fair view cemetery.—Port Allegany Re ported. For Sale. A pair of horses weight about '2 600; nine years old and sound in every particular. C. W. HALL. such leadership are .said to be by the action of the St. Louis conven tion, "safe, sane and conserva tive." The St. Louis convention was absolutely controlled and in fluenced by interests hostile to every tenet of Democracy. They, I who deserted the party in 189(5 | and 1900, were made masters of the | situation. Every unlawful and criminal j trust was legally, actually and | properly represented in that body. , Their paid hirelings and hoodlums j hooted and jeered Mr. Bryan and | other distinguished Democrats j simply because they attempted to | save the Democratic party from utter rout and pending aunibila ! tion. I The only trust, I believe, for j gotten or ignored by that conven tion was the trust in God, as evi | denced by the hooting and shout ; ing during the prayer of the chap | lain. Those, whose intrigue was in | directly the cause of the assassin's i blow that killed Governor Goebel, ; of Kentucky, were the loudest ad ! vocates of the "safe, sane and con j servative Democracy." They who | cheered llobson, that "Jack j Ashore," when lie eulogized | Grover Cleveland for sending I'nited States troops to Chicago to shoot down strikers, are not Demo j crats; at least, not my kind of j Democrats. , Till SI'S IIAM) IN IT A 1.1,. It was but natural that a. conven tion controlled by such influences, made drunken by contributions 1 from llu; Louisville, the Standard j Oil, the Sugar Trust and kindred | interests, could not give birth to a | legitimate standard-bearer of true i Democracy; but in keeping with i the natural order of things a can didate with the cunning of a clam : was brought into political existence | by Senator Hill. The Sheelians, Belmonts and McCarrens immediately became his trusted friends and adviserers. His : name was presented to the conven | tion and he was nominated. Though suffering with political | luckjaw, this "human interroga- I tion joint" found time to speak. | After the mischief had been done, | lie informed Mr. Sheehan of that J which Mr. Sheehan well knew be j fore the nomination, that he, I Parker, would repudiate the eon | ditions, upon which the nomina j tion had been effected. In conclusion, permit me to add j that the "safe, sane and conserva ! tive" have separated themselves i socially, politically and, thank ' (iod, morally from the unsafe, un sound and non-conservative fol lowing of Mr. Bryan. Lunatic regularity, it would seem, must be I both unsatisfactory, and undesir able to the "safe and sane." For these and many other reasons, which I hope to make en tirely plain to you before Novem ber next. 1 cannot and will not i vote for Alton B.

A letter re ceived from his employer in Florida bears testimony to the psitience and perseverance of his habits of industry and the pureneas of his life. He was a member of the First Methodist Episco pal Churc 1 of Emporium and during his residence here was regular in his Sunday School attendance and active* in promoting the interests of the Ep worth League Chipter, to which he was closely attached. Mr. Jodan was a young man of many sterling qualities and was highly esteemed by every body. He was modest and retiring in his disposition. Realizing his probable nearness to death he displayed no feelings of dread but was kept tranquil by the repose of his trust in God. He was a member of the class of'9s of the Emporium High School. I{<>. was also a member of Eulalia Lodge, No. j 342, F. & A, M , Coudersport, Pa., and > a member of the Scottish Rites Masons I of the same place. Surviving him are a lather and I mother, two brothers Joseph and Harry and a sister Rena. The floral display was beautiful and consisted of many expensive pieces, especially the Masonic ofteriug. His funeral was held from the hs ne of his parents, Wednesday afternoon, and was in charge of his pastor the Rev. 0. S. Metzler. The choir of the First Methodist Episcopal Church ren dered appropriate music. Members of the local Masonic Lodge attended in a body and performed their ritual at the grave.

After an illness of over three years, MRS. NAN. S. GALLAGHER, wife of Mr. Thos. Gallagher, Pennsylvania freight and ticket agent at Emporium, passed | away last Saturday evening at 10:20 j o'clock. During her long illness she i made a gallant light to live and every j means secured to check the malady, | anaemia, but death had claimed her and I she resignedly awaited the final sum- j tnons, peacefully sleeping away, sur- i rounded by her loved ones. Mrs. Gallagher, who was born at J Grant, Herkimer county, N. Y., Dec. ! 25, 1850, came to Emporium in the | early spring of 1875 and resided with j her brother, Dr. W. H DeLong and wife until Nov. 15th, 1883, when she was united in marriage to Mr. Gal lagher. Deceased leaves a husband, a niece, (Miss Mazie Gallagher, who has resided with the family since infancy ), three sisters, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Popple, Grant, N. Y., and Mrs. Smith, Utica, N. Y., and two brothers, Dr. W. H. DeLong, of Emporia, Fla., (now here during the summer) and George, j of Indiana. During all these years Mrs. Gallagher j has been active in social and christian j work, a leader in society and one al- i ways willing to load, no matter how ! exacting the duties were. Her home, ! one of the most pleasant in town, was! always open to her friends, and they { were legion. Her unselfish hospital- I ity, so well know to our citizens, needs I no flattery at our hands. We have all been her debtor for years. The writer j well remembers, twenty-one years ; ago when she and her honored hus- j band assisted us as bride's maid and i best man and deeply regret the bonds ; of friendship then formed have, in part, been broken We in common with many of the girls and boys of those days can look back with pleas ure to the hundreds of joyous, happy times, in all of which figured Mr. j and Mrs. Gallagher. The life of this j excellent lady furnishes material for a lengthy obituary, but since securing ! the Rector's remarks, so eloquently ! delivered, we will close with the full realization that the memory of deceas ed will long live in the hearts of her Emporium friends. THE FUNERAL. Last Tuesday afternoon, at two o'clock, the funeral services were con ducted at the family residence, Rev. J. M. Robertson, Rector of Emmanuel Episcopal Church officiating. The singing was furnished by the church choir and the vestrymen served as pall bearers. The services were large ly attended by our citizens. Rev. Rob ertson's remarks being so appropriate we take pleasure in publishing the same. REV. J. M. ROBERTSON'S REMARKS. We are assembled to-day to pay the last debt of sacred respect and affection to the earthly remains of one who for many years has held a large and warm place in our hearts; whose influence upon us all has been strong and pro nounced, and by whose life the world has been the better. In every sphere and relationship of life she has played a good part. In the home circle she was a model of wifely devotion and of every domestic virtue. Possessed of the winsome qualities which make and retain friendships, she was ever a center and leader among her wide circle of friends. A figure and force in the community, she was particularly an active worker and a prime leader in the life and affairs of Emmanuel Parish. For twenty-seven years she was a communicant of this Parish, and in all that time her heart was full of its interests. Only when the failure of her physical strength ab solutely compelled it did she reluc tantly lay down her active part in its affairs. It would be impossible and out of place at this time to attempt to rehearse in detail all that she has done in the life of our Parish during a period covering more than a quarter of a cen tury. At some future time this story ought to be told at length. Enough at present to say that the place which she occupied in Emmanuel Parish has been a large place, and the void which her departure creates will not be soon or easily filled. There are different types of saints in God's Church and Kingdom There are those who like Mary of Bethany ! choose the quiet life of spiritual medi tation and converse; and there are those who like her sister Martha are energetic and influential in outward activities Each type has its place, its ! use and its reward. It was pre-emi- i nently as a leaderin outward activities j that Mrs. Gallagher served well and ' faithful her Church and Parish. Her! work and influence will not perish, nor ' be soon forgotten; and we give thanks j to God for the example of tier faithful, ; loving, loyal service. In her long illness she was very pa- i tient and cheerful and brave. She had j long recognized the possibility of a fatal termination of her illness and was resigned and prepared for what might be in store; but she made it a matter of purpose and effort to maiutain an attitude of hope and cheerfulness. At all times she was very considerate of others, and maintained to the last her kindly interest in the affairs and well being of others. A lovable and winsome personality, she was brave and strong in spirit, de termined, persistent, masterful to the last. Her physical strength has failed, but it is impossible for us to think of her lovable and good and brave and stedfast spirit failing. We can only believe, in the spirit of the Apostle's teaching, that death to her is but a change, a transition, a release from the narrow confines and fetters of this earthly life into the largeness and free dom of the heavenly life. RELATIVES AND FRIENDS. The following relatives and friends of the family were in attendance at the funeral, from out of town: Mr. Roger Gallagher, Buffalo; Mrs. J. B. Revilla, Philadelphia; Mr. and Mrs. John Gallagher, Pittsburg; the first three being brothers and sister of Mr. Gallagher. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Rich, very dear friends, Randolph, N. Y.; Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Swain, Keating Summit; Mrs. E. C. Davison, Miss Mary Davison, Johnsonburg. FLORAL OFFERINGS. The floral offerings from Emmanuel Sewing Society, Emmanuel Vestry, social society and intimate friends were especially beautiful. There was a great abundance of cut flowers and ferns, speaking volumes of the high regard in which the deceased was held. Interment was made in Newton Cemetery. Thus closed the earthly career of an other valued Emporium resident, one whose place will be difficult to fill. Disgraceful Exhibition. A disgraceful fight took place on Fourth street last Monday evening be tween R. P. Bingeman and Major Dor vall. During the fight Bingeman push ed or knocked Dorvall through one of L. Taggart's large plate glass windows, j Policeman Mundy, aided by a number of our citizens parted the contestants ' and placed them under arrest. A riot almost resulted, the howling mob at tempted to secure Mr. Bingeman, but Mundy stood his ground and protect* j ed his prisoner. We understand they ! gave bail for their appearance at court I and paid the costs, the window alone j costing $75.00. DEATH STRIKES DOWN FORMER STATE RULER. Ex-Governor Pattison Dies of Pneumonia Complicated With Heart Failure. Robert E. Pattison, who was twice Democratic Governor of Pennsylvania, and twice Controller of Philadelphia, died early on Monday .at his home in Overbrook. Pneumonia, complicated with a weakness of the heart, was the cause of death. Mr. Pattison was a candidate for Governor on the Democratic ticket against Governor Pennypacker in 1902, and had not been a well man since his laborious campaign in that year, when his tour of seven weeks covered nearly every county in the State. He was a member of the committee on resolutions of the recent Democratic convention and his health failed under the strain. He remained in St. Louis a few days after the convention to rest and, returning home, resumed his busi ness, dividing his time between Phila delphia and New York. Last Friday pneumonia developed and heart complications aggravated Mr. Pattison's illness. Consistency Thou Art a Jewel. Democratic Boss Hockley, editor of the Independent, Chairman of the Democratic County Committee, has broken loose again in an uncalled for personal attack on the editor of the PRESS. All one has to do to stir up this spider, is to impugn his political motives and up he jumps like a Filip pino, looking for blood. "Editorial etiquette" requires one to handle pub lic questions in a manly manner and if the editor of the Independent, thus early in the campaign, commences his usual low-down billingsgate lie will ex haust his venom before the heated season passes. We have in the past ignored his personal attacks upon us, deeming them beneath our notice, and shall consider, as the public does, the unreliable source from whence it is vomited. Eye Specialist. Prof. W. H. Budine, the well known Eye Specialist, of Binghamton, N. Y., will be at R. 11. Hirsch's jewelry store, Emporium, Pa, August 12th and 13th. 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. Lenses ground and fitted in old frames. Eyes tested and ex amined free. All work guaranteed. Popular Visitors. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Rich, of Ran dolph, N. Y., arrived in Emporium on Monday to attend the funeral of Mrs. Thos. Gallagher, an intimate friend for many years. While remaining in Emporium for a few days our citizens were pleased to greet them, they al ways maintaining a warm place in the hearts of Emporiumites when residing here. They are delighted with the im proved appearance of Emporium and the excellent service given them at the New Warner, including their elegant furnished rooms, and may extend their visit for several weeks. Absconded. Jas. Walker, Jr., secretary of Whar ton (Potter county) school board ab sconded last week, taking with him the wife of John Dovall and his own j daughter.
