DIE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHKIJ BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH 1866. VOL. 39. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Sept. 3r<l, 1904. Editor Pros*:— Your correspondent procured a few days since, ;i(. tin- Insular Bureau in the city, a copy of the new internal revenue laws which the Philippine Commission lias adopted for the purpose of secur ing a revenue for the government of the Islands under their care. But a few of the phamplets have been received in the I'nited States, and there has been quite a demand for them. The tax falls principal ly upon alcoholic liquors, tobacco in its various forms, upon saloons and dance halls, circuses and places of amusement, requiring a license the same as in the I'nited States. The usual pains and penalities are provided for false re turns and for derelictions on the part of the officers of the internal revenue. The anti-imperalists seem disposed to find fault with the fact that there is to be any internal tax at all; or that the Filipinos should be obliged to contribute to wards the support of any form of government. The President of the I'nion Pacilic Railroad, who has just arrived in this city from Manila, says that in his opinion what the people need out there is good highways, instead of rail roads. They should run to all parts of the country thus enabling farmers to get their produce to the market. He took a run over Japan and noticed that that coun try is abundantly furnished with good roads, and that most of the supplies for the army were carried to the sea board along these routes in preference to using railroads. The Philippine < Commission, which has been touring in America for a long time, and is about to depart, speaks of the I'nited States as "the mother county. 1 ' which is a little curious, and expresses its gratitude for the hospitality re ceived. 1t also gives the President •'the homage of their most respect ful consideration." The indica tions are that the Philippine ques tion will cut but a small figure in the pending campaigh. The venerable but hearty and handsome Senator Stewart, of Nevada, who announces that he will retire from politics at the end of the astli Congress, has in office in the Bond building in this city where he keeps in touch with all political and commercial interests in the silver states, as well as in California. He says that his in formation is that Nevada will go Republican in November. The people of that state have seen a great light—they now recognize that irrigation will do more for them than silver mines, and they thank President Roosevelt for making practical the possibility of irrigation. If the State should go Republican it will be a sad joke for Hon. Clarence 1). Van Duzer, its only and Democratic represen tative, and a pronounced Socialist. He has recently been in Vermont trying to induce the cheese and maple-sugar-makers to vote for Judge Parker. It may be he will have to mend his own fences in Nevada. It is announced that Dr. Wiley, of pure food fame, of the much talked of borax feeding experi ments, of cold storage investiga tion, etc., will soon goto Italy for a vacation. He thinks it will be perfectly safe to do so. Word comes from Rome that malaria has disappeared from t hat city with the extermination of the mosquito. And it is also now admitted that one may sleep in Rome with an open window. Dr. Wiley says night air is really the best, as there is less movement of organic matter than in the day time. He is cur ious to know how the Romans ex terminated the mosquito. DEATH'S DOINGS. KSBBB FOLEY. Patrick Foley, one of our oldest and most highly respected citizens, passed away Friday evening, August2s, 190-1, at 8:40 o'clock after an illness of more than a year, Hie last four months of which he was confined to his bed. He was a victim of Bright's disease and bore liis sufferings with Christian forti tude. Realizing that there was no hope of recovery he was reconciled to his fate and stated that he was willing to die but very sorry to part with his beloved family. Mr. Foley was born in Ireland 64 years' ago, and was married in St. Marys on August '23, 1869, to Cecelia McDonough of Emporium, and came to Drifrwood in 1574. Their happy union was blessed with eight children, five of whom, to-gether with his widow survive him. The surviving children are Mrs. Kate Sullivan, of Ridgway, Cecelia at home; Mrs. Mary liogan,, of Emporium, Sister Alphonsus of St. Genevieve's Academy, Harrisburg, and Winnie, at home, all of whom were present at the funeral. Sister Alphonsus was accompanied by Mother Gabriel of the above mention ed institution. The funeral, which was largely at tended, took place Monday morning at 9 o'clock from St. James' church, where Requiem High Mass was cele brated by Rev. Father O'Sullivan, and interment was made in St. James' cemetery. Col. J. O. Brookbank, H E. Colemon, T. J. Riley, Daniel Daley, John Hackett and Michael McMahon acted as pallbearers. The funeral arrangements were in charge of Air. B. Egan, of Emporium and the manner in which every detail was carried out shows that he has no superiors as a funeral director. His handsome hearse was brought to this place overland. The following relatives and friends from out of town attended the funeral: John iiogan, o 1 Emporium, and Patrick Sullivan, <»t KidKway, B< as-in law; Mrs. Thos. McD »nou b. 8.

BASEL DONALD LKADBETTER, aged nineteen mouths, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew J. Leadbetter, on Saturday, Sept. 3rd, 1904, after a few hours illness, ofeholera infantum. Khe blow to the 112 imily is i severe ono and can only be realized by those who have suffered in like manner. The funeral took place from the family residence, "Bond Farm," Mon day afternoon Rev. Pagsley of Erie, Pa., an intimste friend of the family officiated, assisted by Twitchell and McCaslin. Interment was made in Newton Cemetery at this place. $5,500,000 Hotel. The new Philadelphia fire-proof eighteen story Bellevue-Stratford Hotel will be opened to the public this month. Mr. Baptisti Revelli, who has frequently visited in Emporium, guest of his broiher-in-law, Mr. Thomas Gal lagher, has been connected with the old Hollevue for years. The Inquirer, while speaking at somo length of this new and magnificent hostelry has this to say of Mr. Revelli: Baptiste Revelli will still be manager of all the large dinners and look after the menu. "Baptiste" is a personal friend of every society man, women and child in the city, lie never makes a mistake in a name or a face and to be unknown to "Baptiste" is a hard blow at anyone's claim to social re pute. In addition to knowing the men and women of prominence here, Baptiste is a walking social register of New York, Boston, Baltimore, Washington and other cities and he is familiar with most of the titled persons of Europe who visit America or have social con nections here. He has the reputation of knowing more about what is needed to make a private dinner or a public banquet pass oft'successfully than any man in America, a*d his ideas as re gards table decorations have won him world wide fame. In the new hotel, Claude Benett, who has made hosts of friends during his fifteen years at the old Bellevue, will act as assistant to "Baptiste." This genial gentleman, Mr. Revelli, has a reputation at stake in managing this great house but will be equal to the emergency. FOB SALE.—A good farm in Plank Road Hollow.
