Las! Wedn.-al.iy evening, Sept. 21 ft., 1904, at seven o'clock,at th home of Mr. and Mrs. \. C Camstoek in this vill age, a ■•retty scene was enacted, when, ; amid profuse decorations ot flowers j and potted plants, and in the presence | of relatives and near friends, their j daughter, M' -a Grace, became the bride . of Mr John Extrom. The home on Mill street wa- beauti- : fully decorated for the function, the j two spacious drawing-rooms in the ; tront of the house being trimmed with ! potted plants, ferns and princess cedar 1 from Yaddo Park, Saratoga county. The railing to the stairs down which ; the bridal couple marched in entering 1 the room where the ceremony was j performed, was wound with princess cedar ornamented with large clusters j of hydrangeas, and the pedestal at the ! foot of the railing was wound with j princess cedar and coxcomb. The i dining room was trimmed in pink, i Suspended from the ceiling in the ! drawing-room where the ceremony was : performed, was a floral circle of prin I cess cedar trimmed with white roses, | and prettily woven in the piece were two white doves. The entire floral decorations were under the supervision of Mrs. Mary Mart of Saratoga Springs, aunt of the bride. To the strains of Lohengrin, played by Mrs M. W. Avery, the bridal couple entered the room, attended by Miss Rose Extrom, a sister of the groom, as bridesmaid, and Mr. John Comstock, a brother of the bride, as groomsman. Taking their position beneath the bridal bower Rev J. H Keeling pronounced the words making them man aud wife. The bride was gowned in a dress of white crepe de shine over white taffeta, j with Dresden lade trimmings, and car- j ried a bouquet of white roses. She | wore a traveling suit of dark brown. ' The bridesmaid wore a gown of white chiffon over white taffeta and carried I a bouquet of white astors. The wedding dinner was served by i cateress Nicl'ols. The bride is u popular young lady of Philadelphia, with many friends. The j groom is a young man who came to j this town from Emporium, Penna., a | year ago, and who, since bis residence here, has gained the friendship of Phil adelphia's young people. The best wishes of their friends are extended for a happy journey through life. Tin' couple left on the evening train for a wedding tour through Canada and New York State, intending to visit Montreal, Quebec, Buffalo and other places before their return, Oct. 1. The wedding presents were many, consisting of cut glass, silverware and i valuable gifts expressive of the regard in which they are held by their friends. The gift of the bride's father was in the nature of a generous check. Among those present from out of town were: Misses Olga and Rose Extrom, sisters of the groom, from Emporium, Pa.; Mrs. Mary Mart, Sar atoga Springs, and Miss Mabel Tait, of Gouverneur. The many Emporium friends of Mr. Extrom join the PRESS in extending the best wishes for a long, prosperous and happy life. Gospel Meetings.

Mrs. R. W. Collins, (nee Mary A. Jordan, died at the home of her son, 15. J Collins at Huntley, Sept. 29th, 190 !, at 12:30, from old age and a com plication of diseases. She was in her seventy-third year of her age, and the j general community not being aware of j the serious nature of her illness, heard | the announcement of her death with j mingled feelings of surprise and sor- j row. Her illness was of short dura- j tion, being sick about a month. Three of her children, B. J., Edgar and Miss Mattie, and a sister Mrs. Shaffer, were at her bedside when the angels bore away her spirit to the bosom of her Heavenly Father. Mrs Collins was born at Huntley, and lived in that vicinity all her lite, ami was held in the highest esteem by a large circle of friends. She was a devoted wife and mother, a kind friend and an excellent neighbor and her counsels will be missed by all of her acquaintances. Her christian ex perience covers over half a century, being a member of tho M. E. Church since her conversion. The floral display was omtiial aud consisted of many expensive pieces. THE FUNERAL. Her funeral services were conducted in the Huntley church, amid the scenes of her childhood days, her pastor Rev. G. W. Fans, oiliciating, and took for his text these beautiful words, "To live is Christ, but to die is gain." The choir of the M. E. Church, Driftwood, rendered the music. Funeral director Geo. J. La Bar, had charge of the re mains and they were laid at rest in the Huntley cemetery, beside her husband, who died four years ago. RELATIVES AND FRIENDS IN ATTEND ANCE FROM A DISTANCE.

Hditor in no Hurry to Die. j The editor of the Arcade Leader was ! remonstrated with recently by a man j who complained that she did not pub- J lisli all the things that happened in that village. Her reply was: "We should say we don't. In the first place we have others who depend on us for a living. If we published all that hap pened we should soon be with the angels. In order to please people we must print only nice things of them i and leave the rest to the gossips. Yes, j it's a fact, %ve don't print all the news, i If we did wouldn't it make spicy read- I ing? But this would be for one week j only. The next week you would read | our obituary and there would be a I strange face in heaven." The F air.

The game of base hall, last Saturday, between the Austin and Emporium high schools, at this place, was very inierestingjand was attended by a not j large but enthusiastic crowd. The at ! tendance was small because of the foot i ball game which drew heavily upon j sporting blood. The Emporium high j school team came out victors, by a j score of 19 to 14. No wonder the boys j did not complain of the chilly weather. J. Orvis Hemphill pitched a success j rul game of ball for the Driftwood boys I against Lock Haven, last Monday, the I score beingo to 4, eleven innings. Our I young pitcher, of course, had excellent | support, but lie is to be congratulated ! upon his work this season and especi -1 ally in this game as the Lock Haven j team had just won a game from the | Williamsport nine. Mr. Hemphill is a i quiet, modest young man, and with proper care will make a great record jas a pitcher. Out of twenty-seven or eight games, this season, he has lost but four or five. Dropped Dead. PHINEAS If. MASON, aged 68 years, 1 of Gibson township, dropped dead on Tuesday afternoon, while working on the road at Huston Hill. Mr. Mason. 1 who is one of Cameron county's sturdy citizens, was in apparently good health when, as Supervisor he went to his duties. When stricken with heart failure he was carried to the house of Powell Barr, but died within a few minutes. He leaves a wife and one son, Anson, to mourn his death. We have been acquainted with the deceased for very manv years and, in common with all citizen's, respected him very much. The funeral takes place this (Thursday) morning from the family residence, intorment being made at Pine street cemetery, Rev. Faus officiating. Another Physician. Dr. P D. Shimp, of Philadelphia, has located in Emporium, being as sociated with Dr. H. W. Good, with offices in Odd Fellows block. (ioing to Church. li;i Charles Jcffcrmn, D. J). While many cannot attend church, j ami while others will not attend bo- i cause of their sordid and selfish and ; wicked Jives, it.i« a fact worth;, ofser- I i'lus consideration that ; rofessing I t'hrktlui; do not consider church at tc.ndane.e the important and obligatory i thing which it was to men of former j times We Americans are averse to i formality, and we never like to do j •.nytiling which does not pay, and! t here is a feeling abroad that going to j church is a species of formal ism foreign 1 to the spiritual genius of the Christian 1 religion, and that however useful such i *i habit may have been to our God- j fearing ancestors, the time has now ar rived when the time-honored custom | may with property be dispensed with. One cannot help wondering if what we most need is not thorough and sys tematic insruction in the New Testa ment doctrineof the Christian Church, For public worship is only one phase of a much larger subject; and if Christ ians are inclined to undervalue the importance of church attendance it is not unlikely that the root of the diffi culty is a failure to apprehend tlio character and mission of the Church as outlined by Christ. According to the New Testament tiie Church is a visible institution with visible sacraments and visible officials and visible members. It is the body of Christ, the sauctuary of the eternal Spirit, the household of faithful souls, the medium of revelation, the pillar and ground of the truth, the radiant bride of the world's Redeemer. It is through the Church that God is to carry on His work of redemption. That Jesus loved the Church and gave Himself for it and purchased it with His own blood is borne out by the history of the gospels. To the founding and molding of a brotherhood our Lord gave the bulk of his time, ile knew that truth must have a home, that ideas must possess a body, that principles in order to conquer must be organized into institutions. He placed His work in the hands of a society. Nut to the individual but to the society was promised ultimate victory. Against His Church the gates of hades should not prevail. With the new commandment ringing in their ears it was inevitable that the disciples should keep together, and that converts as soon as made should be received into the Christian fellow ship. All who were in the process of being saved came at once into the brotherhood. The converts "continued steadfastly in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and the prayers." An isolated Chris tian is unknown to the New Testament. Christianity is in its essence social. A Christian enters into life only in com pany with the saints. He is first and last* and always a brother. In the deepest sense there is no salvation out side the Church. The Lord is with the solitary worshiper in the closet, but when two or three are assembled in His name He is present with fuller blessings and more abundant power. Social or public worship is essential, then, to the existence of the Christian religion on our earth. Christians have known this from the beginning. Be fore Christian architecture and Chris tian music, before Christian officials and Christian government, came the Christian assembly. The Christians of apostolic days knew intuitively that only as they met together could the Lord's will be wrought out in their hearts. They knew they had passed from death to life because they loved the brethren. Later on, when it be came dangerous for Christians to as semble, an inspired leader urges them to take the risk of losing their liberty or their life, saying, "Let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the as sembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another." j his is the teaching of all the apos tles, and of all who have understood what Christianity is and who have triumph. Roman emperors eager to crush the new religion forbade the assembling of Christians together. Had Christians obeyed, Christianity would have died in its youth. Whenever and wherever the spirit of the Lord is act ing mightily on the hearts of His fol lowers religious meetings become nu merous and fervent. No danger is more subtle or fatal than the philosophy which disparages tiie value of church attendance. Break up the Christian assembly lor a generation, and Christ's grip upon the nation is broken. The sense of God and the sense of sin, the august beauty of truth and the high dignity of duty, the sweetness of communion and the rap tures of heaven, all these are height ened and made real in the great con gregation. We kindle one another and and lift one another when as brethren we meet to meditate and pray. It is when we look at the question from the New Testament standpoint that we see how shallow are many of the reasons given for not going to church. The supreme question is, do you want to keep Christianity alive on "this earth? If you do, then do your part, offer your sacrifice, contribute your share. To sit down with one's self and ask what is individually "ex pedient" is heathenish and worse. Even the commercial and industrial worlds have gotten beyond such cold blooded selfishness as that. The neces sity of group-strength is everywhere realized, and men see that great ends are gained only by eo operation and constant self abnegation. The Christian who would bring the matter down to a personal choice as to what appears to be at any particular time best for each soul, not only tramples Christian principles under his feet, but goes in the teeth of all that is , highest and noblest in modern thought. I Instead ot sitting in a rocking-chair i and asking, "What is most expedient for me?" let a man on the Lord's j),. take bin New Testament and ponder again the meaning of these words, "He that flndeth his life shall lose it. but he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it" Nor ii i true,."" is often as art !. that dei ;■< lance in chnrehgoing il ■ ; not mean decadence in character. No duty can be shirked without loss of spiritual power. The withdrawal of pagans from our congregations <i's nut mean necessarily any moral 'let; rioration in them, but for C hristian peo; !" l.'itually to absent themselves from t he Lord's house means inevitable and lamentable moral decay, which, however hidden from view during the lifet ime of the persons themselves, will im vitably make itself manifest in the second and third generations. Let every Christian, then, look upon church attendance as a part of the bus iness which belongs to him as a Chris tian man. To play golf may from the animal standpoint be more bracing, to write letters may be more pleasant, to read a paper or a novel may be for a time more exhilarating and informing, but a mail who is engaged in a great work, the great work of building him self and his race foursquare in right eousness, cannot afford to come down. Like Jesus of Nazareth he will say when the church doors open, "I must be about my Father's business," and like the psalmist Im will exclaim, "I was glod when tho\ Haid unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord."— The Congregationalist. Samuel 3»o!5 Seriously lu juretl Last Last evening about 7:30, Samuel Doll, son of Sylvester Doll, who is employed at Climax Powder Co. Farm, was struck by an engine while crossing the track at Portage bridge, not noticing or seeing the engine until too late to get off the track, lie was thrown thirty feet. In a dazed condition he reached his home, badly bruised about head and body. Institute Evening Attractions. The attention of our citizens is again called to the excellence of the evening attractions, appearing here under the auspices of the Cameron County Teachers' Institute, beginning Monday evening, October 17, with the Wallace Bruce AmsbaryCompany. Discriminat ing Lyceum critics regard Mr.Amsbary a=f America's greatest reader, while his supporting talent is the best. On Tuesday evening Lalla the cele brated Filipino author and lecturer will be tne attraction. Lalla is regarded as the greatest representative of his race now in America and his lecture, to be illustrated by superb lantern views,will be unlike anything heretofore seen or heard by our citizens. Geriuaine tbeWizard holds the boards Wednesday night and the writer from personal knowledge, having seen him some years ago,can assure the admirers of this form of amusement of an even ing replete with enjoyment. The Cleveland Ladies Orchestra will conclude the series on Thursday night and no one can afford to miss hearing this company of artists.

A good sized audience greatly en joyed the program of musicand recita tions given in the First Methodist Epis copal church last Monday evening under the auspices of the Epworth League. The pipe organ selections by Mr. Ericsson were attractive feat ures, the piano sole by Mrs Trotter a veritable treat, the vocal solo by Miss Taggart was much enjoyed as was al so that by little Miss Fr'eo. Mr. Hugh Swartz and Miss Lena Swartz rendered a mandolin duet in a delightful man ner, the recitations by Mrs. Seavor and Miss: s Nettie Moore and Ella Hackett were pleasingly given, while the orch estra sustained its reputation for the excellence of its playing.

Tito men looked good and fit and their spirit was evident. The Emporium's was shortly foiiowed by Capt Wade and iiis sturdy eleven and were cheered to the echo as they came onto the gridiron. Mr. Xuber was chosen to act in the dual capacity of referee aul umpire. Capt. Wade hav ing won the toss, chos* t,. defend the west goal, having the material advan tage of a strong easterly wind. The ball, on the kick-off, went sailing down the wind to the Emporium 10 * rd. line where it was fumbled and Ritchie only succeeded in running back to his*2oyrd. line, and on tlio l!.i yrd. streak of white Emporium lined tip for her first scrim mage with a team, the quality of which remained to be demonstrated. The excitement was intc use. A descrip tion of !ho first scrimmage a descrip tion of ail the others in tins game which resulted in only good practice for the Emporium team. 'Die team work at times was a little ragged; the interfer ence was slow to form and at different times had it not beer, for Emporium's very powerful lineher backs must have been thrown for losses. Quarter-back Good, under his able captain run the team with rare judgment. Howard, the veteran all around player, by hit! terrific line plunging and hurdling won more yards than any otliei plunger on either side. Capt. Ritchie and full-back Cavanaugh were good for continual gains every time called upon. The style of play was the old fashioned straight foot ball, sending the backs through the line, generally directed at guard or tackle. Only twice Emporium tried a fake play; aii end run but once: each attempt was but partially successful. A touchdown was made during the first 10 minutes without Emporium losing the ball and in that time Renovo realized the inev itable and afterward, although stub bornly contesting every inch, were fighting only to keep the score as low as possible. At the end of the first half the score was Emporium 12 Ken ovo 0, Howard kicking both goufs The second half was a repetition of the first only that Renovo had the ball oftener and either lost it on downs or was compelled to kick. Emporium was not to be denied, they played Strang on the defense and fast on the offense and it was simply a matter o ume when Renovo would again hs fightiug in her last ditch. The first touch down in this half was secured by straight line plunges in exactly three minutes. The last one was passed be fore time was called. The game are markably clean one, was free from, holding and off side plays, no penally being inflicted for either. Renovo playen a good, plucky, up-hill game, but were out classed and out-generaled at every stage of the game. Capt Wade, Bennett and Bair played well for Renovo, while the playing of Ritchie, Howard, Cavanaugh and Good were easily of the star order. In fact every player is to be highly praised for the excellency of his work. Time of game: 1 hr 22 min. Score: 24 to 0. Q 'p Eye Specialist. Prof. W. 11.
