"The Germans are constantly on j

"How can we keep tip our for- j

A Criminal Act.
It is surprising to us to learn that
Emporium is disgraced by possessing a
criminal whose heart and conscience
are so dead to the sense of feeling as to
attempt, without cause, to burn up a
number of helpless, innocent pigeons,
as was the case Tuesday evening. At
about half-past seven o'clock, while
the Sunday School orchestra was prac
ticing at J. A. Johnston's, some one, (a
fiend,) saturated the pigeon house
and barn with kerosene oil and set fire
to it, attempting to burn the pigeons
belonging to Lloyd Johnston. Of
course, had it not been discovered in
good season several barnß and probably
dwelling houses would have been in
danger ol destruction. A boy, or any
one for that matter, who will do such
things is on the way to the penitentiary
and ought to be there.

Illegal Hunters Beware.
The open season for hunting grouse, '
begins on Oct. 15th. We have been in
formed that hunters have already kill
ed game on the islands below town, on
Salt Run, Plank Road Hollow, Four
Mile and Cook's Run. The names of
some of these law-breakers are now in
our possession, and after the appear
ance of this notice, we will surely
prosecute each illegal huuter without
fear or favor. It is but fair to state
that we have secured watchers liviug
convenient to the most popular shoot
ing grounds.

That Interview with Mr. Blumie.
In last week's PRESS the person who
signed himself "A Republican in Fact,"
does not tell all there was in that in
terview. I have it on unquestionable
! authority that when Mr. Blumie said
I that he "could not be forced upon the
; ticket, as he had a mind of his own,"
i j he was asked if he would put that down
jon paper and sign his name to it. He
j said, "ohl my word is good enough."
! His allowing himself to run after such
( ! a statement indicates the value of his
word. A BOY.

Theiudependent laut week derided
us by .calling us "funnf." On consult
ing GLa ruber's Etymological English
] Dictionary, which gives the original
simou, e*ore meaning o»f words, we dis
cover that this word "funny" means
"frivolous,* 5 "foolish." The Independ
! ent may possibly try to smooth down
| the offeu&a by refusing to stand for
j these dethW bions, but we shall accept
!no such explauation. We do not care
• what other weaning the Jndej»endent
j had in mind when it used the word,
, we find thesfc etymological meanings
1 in Chamber's iiietionary, and will stick
i to it that we have been called "frivol

allow the Independent to work off any
of its expansive vocabulary upon us.
Presbytery of Northumberland.
The Mayor of Emporium, Mr. Josiah
Howard, in a very graceful speech on
Mouday evening welcomed the mem
bers, of the Presbytery of Northumber
j land lu behalf of the Borough. His
: words were greatly appreciated as ex
j pressed by the Moderator of the Pres
j bytery. It was a very graceful thing
j for the Mayor to do as a tribute to the
1 power and influence of the church in
| a community. This act was in recog
j nition of this fact.
' |
! The question of Evangelism received
I considerable attention and awakened
j great interest.
I On Monday evening an earnest
| sermon was preached by Rev. James
| E Hutchinson of Danville.
On Tuesday evening a popular meet
' ing was held in the inter* st of Home
aud Foreign Missions and Ministerial
relief.
One of the members of this Presby
■ tery is laboring in Japan, Rev. Harvey
Brokaw. He is now home on a furlough
and made a thriling address on the
work in that land that is awakening so
much interest the world over.
The Presbytery passed very earnest
resolutions of thanks to tho pastor and
people of Emporium for their kindness
and courtesy and expressed their de
light in being able to meet with them
in their beautiful temple of worship.
The church is a monument to the
zeal and earnest endeavor of Mr. Mc-
Caslin and his people, seconded by
kindly assistance of the citizens of
Emporium.

DEATH'S DOINGS.
WEISMAN.
Our citizens were greatly shocked
Last Friday afternoon to learn of the
Ceatli of MRS. MINNIE AoNes (Bair)
WISEMAN, aged 29 years, at the family
residence, Olean, N. Y. Her parents
and friends here knew she had been
ill for several days but word was
received that the was improving. The
sudden news e-f her death came like a
thunderbolt to her family, as well as
our citizens generally. The deceased
was the fifth child of our respected
friends Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Bair, this
being the seoond death in their family
within five months, the first being Dr.
Bair at Buffalo. Minnie Bair, as our
people knew her, was a bright, joyous
and handsome girl—of spotless charac
ter. In 189$ she was married to Mr.
John Wiseman and moved to Olean,
where her excellent husband has since
been engaged in business. Three
children—two girls and one son-blessed
their union, aged respectively seven,
three and fifteen months old daughter.
The children will remain in Emporium
at present, we understand, in care of
the grand-parents and Mr. and Mrs. W.
O. Bair.
The remains of the dead wife and
mother were brought to Emporium
last Sunday noon. Before leaving
Olean religious services were conducted
at St Marys Church of the Angeles—a
large concourse of friends accompanied
the remains to the depot; the L. 0. B.
A., and Maccaljees attending in a body.
At Emporium the remains were taken
to the old home on Fifth street, where
scores upon scores of our citizens called
to console the afflicted family, the be
reaved husband and motherless chil
dren. Flowers in great profusion were
banked around the silent room, tokens
of love and esteem. The funeral ser
vices took place at St. Mark's Church
Tuesday morning at nine o'clock, and
was very largely attended. In the ab
sence of Rev. Father Downey, Rev.
Father O'Sullivan, of Driftwood, ofll
eiated. The following friends and
relatives from a distance were in at
tendance at the funeral: Mrs. J. L.
Fobert, (sister), Cattaraugus, N.Y.;Mr.
Albert Bair, (brother), Jersey Shore,
Pa.; Mr. A. Weisman, (brother;, Bos
ton, Mass.; Mrs. M. G. Fitzpatriek, Mrs.
Dodson, Mr. Dugan, Olean, N. Y.; Miss
Marie Schriever, Kane, Pa.; Mrs. Seth,
Miss Bat-aba, Dippold, St. Marys; Mr.
J. J. Carel, Buffalo; Miss Anna Head
strom, Renovo.
The PRESS and the large circle of ac
quaintances deeply sympathize with
the greatly afflicted family.
Should be Abated.
Some months ago the Independent
called attention to the fact that there
are in the borough some nuisances
which ought to be abated. We wish
to endorse the words of our contem
porary in this matter. The condition
which existß in the alley between
Fourth and Fifth streets, just west of
the old Episcopal Church, to mention
but one nuisance, is a disgrace to the
borough. This stench which emanates
from this quarter has been insufferable
for a number of years, but this sum
mer it has been much worse than ever.
Those living within a considerable
radius of this spot are the constant
victims of the nuisance, and are often
obliged to keep doors and windows
closed in order, if possible, to shut out
the smell. Why does not the Board of
Health do something to compel the
abatement of this nuisance? What is
a Board of Health for? It will not do
to shoulder all the responsibility upon
the Council because of its failure to
provide adequate sewerage. There
are other ways of killing a dog than
choking him with butter. If the best
thing cannot he done, then the Board
of Health should see that the next best
thing is done Surely something can
be done to compel the suppression of
j this unnameable and widespread odor.

Rummage Sale.
The ladies of Emmanuel Church will

new store room, on Broad street, next
door to Johnson & McNarney's law
office, on Tuesday of next week. The
sale will include an endless variety of

This will be the largest variety and
best line ever yet offered at a Rummage
Sale. Remember date of opening.
Fruit Season and the Boys.
It is now the time of year when fruit
is nearly ripe and ready to gather.
Some is already in condition to be col
lected and eared for. The small boy
and the large boy, in many eases the
girls and the grown-up boys who call
themselves men, think that all fruit
not actually gathered is free plunder,
and do not hesitate to help themselves
to what they want and as much as
they want if the owner is not in sight
to protect his property. These boys,
girls, and men will boldly walk into
any person's yard, orchard or field in
broad day light as well as at night,
pick up apples, pears, plums, or grapes
or any other fruit to which they may
take a fancy, and if none are on the
ground shake the trees and even climb
them in order to get what they want.
If remonstrated with about it, they
reply "its a mean man that won't let a
fellow have a few apples." Of course
its meaner to protect one's fruit grown
on trees or vines which a man has
spent money to procure, time, labor
and care to nurture and bring to a pro
ducing stage, than it is for the out
sider to come in and steal this fruit.
If it was only one boy. one girl or one
man the matter woula not be so bad,
but when a whole army of boys, girls
and men in whom the producer has no
particular interest, come along, one
after the other,and not enough fruit to
go around among more than half of
them, where does the producer come
in for his share? He does not want to
gether the fruit until it is ripe, it is
tbem of no value to him or to any one
else, but the boys and girls must have
then when they see them, whether fit
to eat or not, and then one taste, then
throw the rest away. This is kept up
until all the fruit is gone and none yet
hardly fit to use.
Any person who looks at this matter
at all can readily see that the thing is
a terrible nuisance. But how shall we
remedy it? Shall we issue a warrant
for every one caught in the act and
have him arrested? The law provides
a penalty for trespass and that is what
the act of entering on the premises in
this way is. But the taking of the
fruit is more. It is stealing, pure and
simple, punishable by a tine or itn
prisonment or both. If this plan is
followed then the parent whose boy is
arrested forthwith begins to blat
throughout the entire community that
the man who had his boy arrested is
about as mean and small a man as he
ever saw. The idea of having a boy
arrested for stealing a few apples and
bringing all this trouble and disgrace
on the boy and his whole family for
such a trifle is ridiculous, and winds
up by calling the complainant all the
dirty, nasty and disagreeable names
he can get from his agitated brain.
This prevents the property owners
from proceeding against the maraud
ers. Rather than suffer tha vile vitu
peration that he knows will be hurled
against him he prefers to sutler the
loss of his property.
But there is another phase to the
problem. It is the moral one. The
boys in helping themselves to these
trifling things that are not theirs thus
take their first lessons in stealing—
first lessons in crime.
Growth in vice is by no means slow.
One step follows close after another
until the greater crimes are reached,
and each step to the offender seems
no worse than the preceding one.
"Viceisa monster of si frightful inein,
Tliat to be dreaded ueeds but to be seen:
But seen too oft familiar with its face.
We first endure, then pity, then embrace."
I venture the assertion, there is not
one parent in ten who takes any par
ticular pains to cautioa his or her boy
or girl against petty crimes, and yet
they may be the starting point of the
child's downward career. I will go
further. I venture the assertion that
there is not one parent in twenty who
could be made believe his or her child
would do such a thing, and yet the
parent who may be the most obstinate
in this unbelief has boys who are the
leaders of the gangs that commit the
most depredations. Never a word of
caution comes from the parent's lips to
the boys about such matters. One
great troubie is iu all these petty of
fenses the parents consider it some
thing of a bother to have the boys and
girls with their noise and chatter
around home all the time. They let
them run at large to occupy their timo
in their own way without any inquiry
as to "where have you been?'' or
"what have you been doing?"
In fact the parents on the contrary
too often encourage the boy's foraging
disposition. They send them out to
gather butternuts, walnuts, chestnuts
and things of such like without a word
of direction as to where they shall or
shall not go,not caring whether they
enter upon private property or not,
only go out and gather nuts. The so
lution of the whole matter lies with
parents themselves and is in their own
interests. It is cheaper for them to
spend a few cents or a few dollars for
things and let the children have a rea
sonable quantity of them as often as
the child desires, than to have him
gorge himself and suffer both moral
and physical injury. The boy will
then be proud to say, in his indepen
dent way, when bantered by other
boys to "let's go get this or that,"
"Oh, I don't want them, we've got lots
better one's at home." When a boy
steals any trifling thing it makes him
feel sneaking and mean and he deteri
orates in morality that much. He
steps down in life one step. When he
can pass by a temptation with an
I-don't-want it feeling it makes him
feel manly and honorable. It helps
him to take a step upward in life.
Besides this, if the parent furnishes
the fruit the child will have ripe fruit,
that will do it good; will contribute to
its health and development, instead of
half-ripe fruit that causes the child in
numerable aches and pains, and the
parents sleepless nights and dollars of

BRIEF OENTION.
The Women's Relief Corps expects
to serve lunch on the fair grounds dur
ing the time of the fair. The proceeds
togo into the soldiers monument fund.
The Emporium base ball team went
to Driftwood today noon to cross bats
with the team at that place. These
nines are evenly matched and we sus
pect the game to be a close one with
Emporium a little in the lead as usual.
"Chivalrous," according to the
Standard Dictionary means "charac
terized by qualities of an ideal knight;
brave; gallant; magnanimous." The
Independent says that President Roos
velt is "chivalrous" and is fighting him
on that ground.
According to Chamber's Etymologi
cal English Dictionary, "fatuous" may
mean "without reality; deceptive, like
the ignis-fatuus." According to the
Standard Dictionary the word is some
times used in the sense of "illusory,"
"baseless;" also, "stubbornly blind."
If, however, one will insist upon hold
ing the word down to its strict etymo
logical meaning, it means "feeble in
mind." We say again that we did not
use it in this sense in our editorial two
weeks ago.
Church Dedicated.
The beautiful new Presbyterian
Church at this place, was dedicated
last Sunday, with elaborate ceremony.
A large number of prominent clergy
men were in attendance. Services
were held morning, afternoon and
evening. The church was crowded at
all services and much interest mani
fested by our citizens, regardless of
creed. At the evening session about
$3,500 was subscribed towards liquidat
ing the debt.
The Presbyterians may well feel
proud of their efforts—in fact the whole
community should rejoice in the erec
tion of so beautiful an edifice. Their
property is valued at 820,000.

Hklitor Press:
I enjoyed the pleasure of a visit up
on the occasion of Dr. D. D. Colcord's

Saturday. At the happy gathering
were, in addition to the venerable Dr.,
