The following is from an exchange j W. 11 Hall, of Cortland, N. Y., whih; j on a trip to California last year, lost a'j wallet containing over §I3OO which he had placed under his pillow in the berth and the porter shook it out the window when airing the coverings. It was picked up by an Odd Fellow, who found inside the purse a receipt for dues paid a Cortland lodge of Odd Fellows. He communicated with the seeretary, and securing Hall's address, returned him the money. This was an "odd fellow," indeed. A Correction. The PRESS last week made an emis sion while giving an account of the selection of teachers for Emporium Schools. In the first place we omitted the name of Miss Lora McQuay as teacherjof "B"' Intermediate, East Ward. Miss McQuay is one of our excellent young ladies as well as a successful teacher. Lastly, the types made us say that Miss Nina Bryan was emyloy ed as teacher in East Ward building, when wo should have stated that Miss Bryan was engaged as te icher of Kin dergarten school in City Hall, a school she has very successfully conducted for several years. These errors will i creep into a paper sometimes. i An Emporium Reminiscence. I A good many years ago, when Caleb Sweasey kept the old Biddle Home, (where the Warner House now stands,) there were thirteen of us gathered around the big bar room stove with Sweasey behind the bar, when an old soldier came into the room and want ed a pipe of tobacco Now, the strange thing about the unlucky number in the ease was that there was not one person in the crowd that used tobacco, which was unlucky for the old soldier. However, Mr. Sweasey said he would pay for a pipe if some one would go across the street and get it for him. The writer of this went across to Crane's and got the tobacco for the man. After tilling his pipe he wanted to know if we could find R. M. Over hiser, who was an officer in the regi ment that he belonged, wishing him to assist in securing a pension. After getting the desired information he "went on his way rejoicing." I very much doubt it the same num ber of men be found at this day, in a bar room in this State, none of them using tobacco.

John Davie, an Italian, while work ing on a lumber car at Cameron, last week fell to the ground and fractured his skull. He grew worse rapidly and Dr. Smith, who attended him, decided to send him to Williamsport Hospital on train No. 4, June 9. He was very violent and it took three men to hold him. He died at the hospital last Tues day. _ s Another Impostor Detected. Chief of Police Frank Muiuly, who is always on the alert for evil doers j and can tell a fraud on sight, eyed a supposed pin and needle fakir in front j of H. S. Lloyd's last Monday. His j right hand was scientifically bandaged ! and saturated witfi liniment. Chief Mundy, not to be caught by this old "fake plan" took him in hand and up on removing the bandages found his hand to be as sound as a dollar. He was locked up. Flag Day. Yesterday was Flag Day and it was appropriately observed in Emporium. Flags were displayed from First Na tional Bank and other business blocks and private residences. Old Glory, as designed by Betsy Ross, was accepted by the Continental Congress June 14th, 1177, when it declared "that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, and that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing the new constellation." Long may old Glory wave, respected and feared. Stenography and Type Writing. Will teach shorthand and type writ ing at my home on Fourth street, dur ing the summer months. Graham's Standard method of shorthand taught and the Underwood Standard tyoe writer used. I am a graduate of one of the best shorthand schools in Pittsburg and have had five years experience, three years in legal work and two in corn i mercial. Students desiring to take up ! this study can do just as well for the first two or three months at home, as ! going away and with much less ex : pence. j 17-tf. MRS. FRED SEGER. Too Much Drunkenness. Drunkenness and open violation of ! the license law has become unbearable and disgustingly offensive to our citi |/.ens. LastSudday morning the offen i sive evidence of Saturday night de i bauches were terribly in evidence. I That these things should continue is an outrage. Policeman Mundy, single | handed and alone, is doing all he can | to correct the evil but he cannot and should not be expected to stay up all night, while the law is violated it is also abused, or in other words Empori um has altogether too many licensed places. With practically eighteen licensed places to say nothing of the "pigs ears " Those men who have in vested large sums of money in order to furnish the public comfortable ac commodations, see the law violated daily, yet they are compelled to keep "mum." If this outraga continues much longer the people will rise up and wipe out about two thirds of the i licensed places in Emporium. The Observer. One of the lecturers at the local In stitute of the State Sunday School As sociation held in the Presbyterian Church last winter, spoke of the sus ceptibility of the child mind to impres sions received through reading, and emphasized the exceeding importance of surrounding the child with the right sort of reading matter. It is certainly true that early impren sionsare apt to be lasting.|JThis is gen erally recognized; but it is not so gen erally realized how much of an impres sion may be made upon a very young mind by books which are supposed to appeal only to those of riper years. Even before he is able to read a word, the child may receive impressions from illustrated copies of classic authors. Almost as far back as the Observer can remember, there was in the home of his childhood a paper-bound copy of Ten nyson, published by Harpers. On the front cover was a picture of the poet; and, thanks to this picture, Tennyson very early became a name and a per sonality to the Observer. There were other pictures in the volume; and after he had (unwillingly, he must own) passed the Rubicon of the alphabet and primer under the insistent guid ance of a school teacher aunt, the Ob server gradually made himself familiar with the lines printed beneath each picture. One picture was of the dead | Elaine reposing on the deck of a small boat, at whose stem, grasping'an oar, was seated an ancient bearded figure. Beneath were the lines: "Then rose the dumb old servitor, u ml the deac 1 . Steered by the dumb, went upward with the flood." The Observer knew nothing at that time of the story of the "lily maid," but the picture and the quotation be neath it made an ineffaceable impres sion upon his childish imagination, awakening in him a reverential sense and gleam of the reality of a world of truth and beauty that transcended his own little brief experience. When in after years he read the "Idyls of the King," the story of Lancelot and Elaine was instantly attached to the point of his earliest impression, and it seems to him now almost as though he had known the whole story from in fancy. in the same manner he receiv ed early impressions of"The Lady of Shalott" and"The Deserted House." So far as the Observer is aware, his parents never dreamed that he was thus early receiving lasting impres sions from their copy of Tennyson. They never called his attention to the book, never read it aloud to him, never explained the pictures to him. The book just "lay around," and childish curiosity did the rest. Time would fail to tell of impressions received from the numbers of the old Scribner's Monthly, the chrysalis out of which sprang the Century Maga zine. In the very early seventies there appeared in this a serial by George Mac Donald, —"Wilfred Cumbermede." | The Observer to this day has never i read this story, but as a child he used I to pore over the pictures, while the j very name of the hero awakened in j him a keen, though vague, sense of a j character unspeakably noble and re fined. Sometime afterwards there ap- I peared in Scribner's a serial, "Seven j oaks," by the editor, Dr. J.G. Holland, j The Observer, then a ten year old, j read the story after the last iustal j ment had been published. Saturday j night overtook him just as the excit ing denouement was coming in sight. Had he been been his own master he would probably have sat up all night to finish the story, but parental auth ity intervened and the numbers of the | magazine were laid away, not to be I brought out again before Monday. I That was the longest Lord's Day ever ; putin by the Observer. The story j would do credit to the shelves of the j best regulated Sunday School library, | and as a Sunday school book it would I doubtless have been approved for Sun- I day reading by the parental censor; i but as a magazine novel it was a horse ! of a different color. The foregoing experiences illustrate ! the tendency of children to take the j initiative tin making themselves ac : quainted with such literature as hap pens to be within their reach. The ! lesson for parents is that they should i see that nothing save what is clean and wholesome in the way of reading i matter should find its way into the ! home Will Take Special Course. Prof. E. S. Ling and wife leave to day for Bedford, Pa , to visit relatives and friends during the heated season. Mr. Ling will attend Columbia Univer sity, at New York city, for six weeks, commencing July 7th. Emporium schools will probably open first week I in Sept. TERMS: $2.00 —$1.50 IN ADVANCE. WEATHER REPORT (Forecastby T. B.L'.ovd.) FRIDAY, Fair. ■SATURDAY, Fair. SUNDAY. Fair. WASHINGTON LETTER. (Frnmour liegular (Jftrrespondc^yt. Washington, JunelOth. 1905. Editor Prcst: President Roosevelt has brought, if not to a close, at lea>t to a period, the peace negotiations which have for the past week had their center in Washington by ad dressing to Russia and Japan a duplicate note in which he appeals to both beligerents to bring to a close the "terrible and lamentable conflict now being waged." it is generally believed that the Presi dent did not take this step without first ascertaining that it would prove accepetable to both powers and it is generally accepted as a long stride in the direction of peace. Should peace be accomplished as the direct result of the initiatory steps which the President has taken it will add one to the many tri umphs which have crowned his administration. Suming up the general situation in the light of the best information obtainable, it may be said that fol lowing ilie President's frank pre sentation of the situation to the Russian Ambassador, which oc cured a week ago, the Czar finally sent for Ambassador Meyer, who, it will be remembered is a mem ber of the Republican National Committee, from Massachusetts, and a close friend of the Presi dent's. Mr. Meyer served his ap prenticeship in diplomacy at Rome where he was Ambassador through out the last Administration. After his audience with the Czar the Ambassador cabled full account to the President, the character of his communication having been as closely withheld as possible. He made it clear, however, that the Czar was still unwilling to be placed in the position of suing for peace, although he was grateful for ♦in; President's friendly expres sions and intimated that he would be glad to know something of the peace terms which Japan would demand. After a careful consideration of Ambassador Meyer's dispatches, the President sent for the Japanese Minister. Kogoro Takihira, who came immediately to the White House, despite the fact that he was obliged to leave a sick 1 ed to do so. What the character of his in terview with the President was can only be surmised, but it is known that .Japan still maintains the posi tion that she cannot define peace terms until Russia has done more than express a mild interest in their character. The Mikado be lieves that the Czar should first frankly declare that he is ready to make peace if Japan's terms are moderate, that then.the President, or other intermediary, should se cure from the < 'zar an acceptance, at least in principle, of some of the conditions fundamental to perman nent peace. For instance, Russia should, it the estimation of Japan, recognize the right of Japan to an indemnity the property of the permanent evacuation of Manchuria, the per manence of Japan's control of ' Corea, etc. This much accom plished a protocol could be signed 1 and the actual amount of the in demnity, the i'alQ of Vladivostok, and similar more specific qV.fsti?."? could be left for final settlement between the principals. The Czar, on the other hand, maintnu.s that it is extremely difficult for him to commit Russia to peace without some appreciation of all tl : t peace implies. DEATH'S DOING $. DINGER. A correspondent of Pittsburg Times, from Scottdale, Pa., makes the follow ing reference to the death of Prot. Clias. L. Dinger, formerly of Empori um, who died at at that place on Mon day, June sth; "Prof. Charles L. Dinger died to-day at the hoir.e of his : parents, Mr. and Mrs. John C. Dinger, from tubercular laryngitis. He was 29 years old and for some years vas prin cipal of the High School. He was a graduate of Grove City college and Ada university, and took a post-grad j uate course at the University cf West j Virginia, Morgantown."
