THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ' S-UWNUSHRD BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH 1866. VOL. 40. HERD OF DEER. Thirteen Fine Specimens Are Win tering on the Mounttains Near Trout Run. A herd ot thirteen deer are winter ing on the mountains near Trout Run, and for the past two weeks many peo ple have made trips to that place for the purpose of seeing the fleet footed animals in their wild state, says the Wellsboro Gazette. These deer have remained in the Bame vicinity for about two weeks, and can be easily seen from the public road that leads off to the north of the road to Liberty, about three and one-half miles from Trout Run. They are generally be found near Cotton Tail gap. They are all large, and are exceptionally fine specimens of the monarchs of the for est. They are always found in a herd, and it is not difficult to get within one hundred to one hundred and fifty yards of them. It is remarkable how tame these deers have grown. They almost seem to be fully aware of the fact that people are not allowed to dis turb them, and are frightened but little at the sight ef a sleigh or vehi cle. On account of the depth of the snow, which is over two feet, the an imals are difficult to see unless by one who is experienced in finding them. When standing in the snow they often appear to be tree stumps, for when they are aware of the approach of some one they remain perfectly still like statnes, and do not move until you make a noise or frighten them. Sunday School Tour Party. The State Sabbath School Tour Party held seevices in the First Presbyterian Church, Monday evening and all day Tuesday, giving delight and profit to the large numbers in attendance. Especially inspiring were the songs of the male quartette, composed of Messrs Cork, Van Dyke, Landes, and Sawle. The central theme of the sev eral addresses was evangelism as ap plied to Sunday School Work and highly valuable and convincing were the points elucidated in the various ad dresses. A spirit of happy fraternity characterized all tbe sessions. The pastors of the different churches par ticipating by prayers, suggestions and questions in the deliberations. The consensus of sentiment as expressed was that the early coming to Christ of the child was of the utmost moment and that efforts to this end should be untiringly made. A number of persons from out of town were in attendance and the in terest awakened will 110 doubt be of enduring value. Mow's This?

It is significant to your readers for some comment to be made on the mat ter of the gown worn by the Presi dent's wife at the inaugural celebra tion, since this highly honorable and honored lady has so distinguished her self, both in loyal patriotism, good taste and as standard bearer of Ameri can fashion. One of the leading New York papers, on Sunday last, in speaking of this great inaugural occasion, came out in glowing terms of Mrs. Roosevelt's per sonality as the first lady in our justly prided Union. Her reception gown was the product of the William Strange silk mills, of Paterson, N. J., and a pattern somewhat like it, was seen by Mrs. Roosevelt at St. Louis Fair, which gave her dreams of a gown to be worn on this occasion, and when the fact was established that she must be the principle lady to the inauguration of the President, she wrote to this com pany and the pattern, so exquisite in every detail, was made expressly for her. It is of the most delicate fabric and tints of azure blue—that clear tint which holds its own beneath an artifi cial light and looks as lovely as though seen by light of day, a lustrous, clear blue satin which takes on a sheer of silver in certain lights and folds, and this added to the wonderful effect of great discs of softly glittering gold which were strewn over the satin with swallows almost innumerable dotting the gown. Feathers of rare variety were so affixed to harmonize with the delicate tint and trimmings as tc render a magnificent poetic as well as artistic effect. In this selection the President's wife chose our National color, which proves her patriotism, she chose American goods and American modists to make it up, which proves that she is wholly American, making a standard for all American women to follow. What is good enough for our Presidents wife is surely good enough for any lady in the land. Mrs. Roosevelt is a woman of good sound judgment, good taste and is of true American blood and is perfectly fitted for the position she so admirably occupies. tor Class Work. At their regular review Tuesday evening the ladies of Gladioli Hive, L. O. T. M., initiated a largeclass of candi dates, 24 having been secured as a re sult of special work during February; the beautiful ritualistic work was ad mirably put on with full guard team and was very impressive, this order is rapidly coming to the front among the fraternals: our local hive now having a membership of 150. And expects to add still more in the near future the following ladies of Floral Hive, of Port Aliegany, came over for the special work and were royally entertained while here: Mesdames Harriet, Eliza beth, and Ada Moses, Caden, Healey, Gallagher, Layman, Bosse, Maynard, Barnaby, Backus, White, Dolway, St. Clair, Wrights, Vansickles, Holmes, Lamhafer, McGovern, Ballingsby and Miss Gerwick, and Mrs. Leßare, of Lock Haven. The Editorial "We" Explained. An exchange makes the following explanation: Somebody who wants to explain what the editorial "we" signi fies, says its meaning varies to suit the circumstances. For instance when you read that "we expect our wife home today" we refer to the editor and chief, when it's "we are a little late with our work" it includes the whole otflce even the devil and towel, if "we are having a boom," the town is meant; "we received over 700,000 emigrants last year," it embraces the hation, but "we have hog cholera in our midst" only refers to the illness of the man who takes the paper two or three years then ordered it stopped without paying for it. The Best Yet. •Our Opera managers have been for tunate in securing for to-morrow eve ning, the 10th, the great play of heart interest "Dora Thome." Competent critics who have seen it, pronounce it the best dramatized novel of the past few years. It will bo presented with the original cast and scenery, and will no doubt duplicate its success in other cities here. Warning.

Emporium, Pa., August Ist, 1903 24-tf. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1905. The Knox Entertainment. | "The Story of the Scottish Reforma j tion" given at the opera house last | Thursday and Friday nights under the i auspices of the First Presbyterian J Church—was both instructive and en | tertaining and well deserved the gen i erous patronage it received. The ; entertainment was a happy blending lof lecture recital, stereoptican views | and acted drama and so skillfully were these several features alternated as to hold the attention of the audience for two and one half hours and eventuate in a climax that was grand an«l beauti i ful. The various characters were in capable hands. Each gave evidence of an intelligent grasp of his part, im parting to it a meaning that was full of interest. Mr. McCaslin was very impressive and convincing as the Great Reformer while Miss Ritchie brought to the character of the unfor tunate Queen the grace and beauty, the self possession and deep devotion that her difficult part demanded. The costumes were costly and beautiful,the various groupings, bathed in the rich radiance of the calcium lights, pre senting pictures of loveliness not soon forgotten. The stereopticon views, chiefly of a historical character were distinct and satisfying while the dis criptions and explanations by Mrs. Monroe were beautiful in diction and eloquent and forcible in delivery. The vocal solos by Misses Walker and Ilogan and Mr. Walker were pleasing ly sung, while the choruses were ex ceedingly well rendered. Miss Abbie Metzger presided the piano with characteristic ability. In the processional she had the artistic assistance of Miss Walker on the violin. So far from engendering sec tarian bitterness, the effect of the en tertainment has been to promote amity and good will between the various de nominations and lead to a better under standing of the differenccss that honestly divide them. The Gas Stove. The use of gas stoves, without chim neys, is productive of unhealthy con ditions within any room subjected to their influences. The New York Tri bune says that they deplete the oxy gsn in all cases to an injurious degree. Having no chiminey, for the most part, they turn the product of com bustion into the air of the room. At best this is oarbon dioxide, a natural gas, which taking the place or the oxy gen, deprives the atmosphere of its life giving power. Perhaps through imperfect combustion carbon mono xide is produced, which is a power | fully active poison. The lack of a chimney means the lack of any circul ation in a close room. An open fire place, or even a coal stove, causes a circulation of air. Even with doors and windows shut, a large amount of heat ed air is drawn up the flue and fresh air is pulled in through cracks. A heater which requires combustion in a room with no vent for the vitiated air is an enemy to breath, should be avoided whenever possible, and should no more be left lighted at night in a sleeping room than should tha char cal brazer, which is a favorite French instrument of suicide. The ordinary gas heater menaces life by another danger. It is commonly connected to the gas pipe by a more or less leaky tube, not infrequently, either by the strain upon the connections or by actu ally blowing flames, filling houses with poisonous unburned gas Citizens need to be greatly on their guard against the dangers in the trail of the j gas pipe. Western Party. Last Tuesday morning a party con- I sisting of L. K. Huntington, B. A. ! Slocum, Allie Hamilton and Wayme | Hamilton, left for Oregon to en ! gage in lumbering. Mr. Huntington j expects to return in six weeks. We j wish these gentlemen great success. Bowling Match. A contest between Coxy's Army and | The Invincibies, iast Monday night re- I suited in a victory for the Invincibies. I The contest was a short one, two games j instead of three being played. This | was on account of George Walker, Jr., | fearing the night air would be bad for ! the boys, so started them home early. ; Coxy's Army say it was because of j their possibility of winning, but, no doubt, the parties of war differ. _ Eye Specialist. j Prof. W.

A social dance in connection with dancing school was given in the Opera House, Monday evening. Susan B. Anthony Is 85 years old and admits it. Alice Roosevelt is 21 and makes no secret of the fact. But between Susan and Alice are many women who rather not tell. A young fellow out in Nebraska pleads for a divorce on the grounds that the minister hypnotized him. This is an entirely new one—blame your troubles on the preacher. In a competition sparrow hunt in Amwell township, near Washington, Pa., between two bands of men, ten to each band, which ended last week, 29,099 birds were killed. The birds were a pest in the district. The hunt ers were given a big banquet. Pietro Bartoli, an Italian laborer was found frozen to death near Dußois, last week in a Fhanty, where he lived alone. He was an employe of W. C. Baxter, the contractor, who is lining the tunnels of the Buffalo and Susque hanna, and had been missing for the past two weeks. "Dora Thome," coming to Em porium next Friday, March 10, is some thing our theatre patrons have been waiting for, a chance to see in play form the interesting novel which every reader knows so well. The play has been carefully constructed, and follows the trials and tribulations of "Dora" to a happy ending. Last Monday we received from Mrs. Egbert T. Osborn, a copy of The Sen tinel Kocord, of Hot Springs, Ark., al so a copy of the "400" a magazine con taining many beautiful views of Hot Springs. Mr. Osborn is the assistant manager of the Hotel Estman, at Hot Springs during the winter and man ager of the famous inn at Charlevoix, Michigan during the summer. Easter occurs on the first Sunday following the full moon, which hap pens on or after March 21. This year full moon occurs March 20 and the next full moon after March 21 occurs April 20. The Sunday following is April 23 and tiierefore Easter, and is within two days as late as it can happen. A Coudersport woman, who pur chased a safety razor for her husband as a Chritmas gift compells him to put ten cents in a tin bank every time he shaves himself. She is now looking for a machine with which he can cut his hair that her rake off may be larg er. The poor man is wondering what will be her next move. A teacher in one of our schools asked one of her iittle girls to tell what she knew about the backbone. The child slid to her feet trembling and embar assed. She rubbed her little hands up and down her hips and began. "The backbone is a bone that runs down your back and holds your ribs togeth er, and keeps you from being legs clear to the neck." A few days ago a Lancaster county farmer tested some snow to learn whether the present supply would be melted by rain or the sun. The result answered, by sun. He suspended a large snow ball and held a lighted candle under it, a hole was melted through the ball without any drop pings. Had there been any drops of water he said it would have been cer tain the lay of snow would have been taken away by rain, as there was not the snow will be lead oil' by the sun. Try this: Take the number of your living brothers; double this amount; add to it three; multiply the result by live; add to it the number of living j sisters multiply by ten add number of j deaths of brothers and sisters, subtract ! 150 from the result. The right hand ! figure will be the number of deaths; i the middle figure will bo the number of living sisters; the left hand figure! will show number of living brothers, i Can you explain it? The story of "Dora Thorne" is too familiar a one to permit of much com ment, but as a play it is provoking widespread interest, and much surprise is manifest that so successful a novel in the day and time of bookplays has not found its way be fore the footlights longere this. Brim ful of exciting and interesting situa tions and affording such numerous op ortunities for excellent acting "Dora Thorne" is iudeed replete with all the essentials to make a most delightful play. "Dora Thorne" will be seen at the opera house next Friday evening, March 10. The Observer. It was the privilege of the Observer to attend a number of the sessions of the Institute held under the direction of the State Sunday School Associa tion in the Presbyterian Church this week. The Observer must confess that he went with some misgivings be cause it was understood that the speakers would lay great stress upon the subject of evangelistic work in the Sunday schools. "Evangelistic" is in itself an excellent word, one which should always savor of glad tidings, but unfortunately in the minds of many it is associated with the emotional ex cesses and lurid appeals which in times past have attended revivals. The ex pression, "evangelistic work in the Sunday schools," seemed, moreover, to imply that the children of the Sun day school most of whom are baptized members of the Church, are to be re garded as children of the world and of the devil until such time as they may be brought to pass through a certaiD crisis termed conversion. Great there fore was the relief and satisfaction of the Observer when he discovered that the Institute had in mind the inaugu ration of no such crusade as this upon the children. The whole spirit of the Institute was in keeping with the as sumption that the children are the lambs of Christ's flock to be carefully fed and nurtured in a Christian atmos phere. If this kind of work be "evan gelistic," we cannot have too much of it. * * One of the speakers made an appeal to the parents to surround the child ren with good literature in the homes- He rightly contended that the only ef fective way to prevent children from reading bad literature is to cultivate in them a taste for what is good. In this connection, the Observer desires tout ter an emphatic protest against the ad mission to our homes of the comic sup. plements of the Sunday editions of many of our newspapers. These gro tesque pictures of tramps, foxy grand pas, and precocious, tricky youngsters, not only deprave the aesthetic taste of the young boys who gloat over them, making them incapable of appreciat ing i ictures of real artistic merit; but they also instil in those who look at them the spirit of disrespect and con tempt. These pictures of the yellow journals invariably represent some body as playing a trick upon somebody else, or as outwitting somebody else. The type of humor to which they ap peal is that which laughs at the igno minious plight of another or that which finds delight in the grotesque and ugly. One expects the New York World and American and the Philadelphia North American to publish such dis gusting supplements, but it has al ways been a mystery to the Observer why such a clean and reliable and dig nified paper as the Philadelphia Press should nevertheless publish such an offensive and harmful section of its j Sunday edition. Birthday Dancing Party. Mr. and Mrs. Alton Housler gave a dancing party in the reading Room, Tuesday evening in honor of their son Frank's thirteenth birthday. Forty eight little folk were in attendance and tripped lightly to piano music ren dered by Mrs. Geo. Metzger, Jr., until 11 o'clock p. m. The grand march was led by Master Frank Houaier and Miss Kate Metzger. Refreshments were served during intermission, ft was a delightful evening tor the young sters and the grown people who were spectators let their thoughts wonder back to a few (?) ye irs ago.

Everything that medical skill could devise was done, but without avail. Nellie Sweeney was born at Olean, N. Y , and came to Kane when quite young, where she resided the greater part of her life. She was a favorite with all with whom she was acquaint ed; of a geuial disposition, and was ever ready to help her friends. She was married to Mr. H. M. Norris in September, 190'2.

During 1904, twenty-three libels in divorce were issued in Clinton county. During the same period there were 230 marriage licences issued. This shows that for every ten marriages performed there was one application for divorce. This needs no further comment. If divorces continue to increase as they have for the last; few years, marriage will soon be a farce. Right minded people from ail parts of the country are becoming aroused and are demand ing some decisive legislation to stop the terrible menace to the home. Notice.
