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.

COLLINS.
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.

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 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."—

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. It is easily
one of the leading concert organiza
tions in the lyceum field and a filled
house should greet their appearance.
All the evening attractions will be held
in the Opera House. Course tickets,
$1.25 each. The teachers will wait on
our citizens and the sale of tickets
should be large.
League Entertainment.
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. The silver

At 2:30 p. m., tin l Emporium team,
following in the wake of their gallant
captain, trotted into the field and un
der the directions ot Capt Ritchie, en
gaged in a short but snappy signal
practice. 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.

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

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

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.
