Someone has been foolish enough to lead the Driftwood B. B. club into be lieving they can play base ball. About all we can say to their ability on the diamond is that they are possessed of a yap as big as the opening of a subway. However that they may be convinced as to their inability as base ball play ers; and accepting the challenge they threw down through the Pennsylvania Grit, will say Johnsonuurg will play them on neutral ground, for §SO or SSOO, or any part thereof, as the case may be and to suit the capricies of the Driftwood bawlers. John6onburg Press. We believe the Emporium nine will then contract to defeat the winners. To Witness a Grand Sight. Mr. Fred Julian went to New York city on Monday on business.

The several base ball games at Key stone Park were well attended and in creased interest manifested. SATURDAY'S GAME. The St. Marys base ball team came to Emporium last Saturday and were defeated by the score of 11 to 1. While the score was rather ore sided, the game was full of good ball playing. Most all of the runs made by Empori um were earned by good clean hitting, when hits counted runs. St. Marys did not score until the ninth inning, after two men had died and a runner on second base, when the next man up bit into right field, bringing in their only run. The features of the game was a double play by Eschbaugh to Farrell, and the batting by Cummings, who out of four times up, had two two base hits and one three bagger and a single. That's going some. Overturf had the boys at his mercy all the way and received gilt edge sup port. Mumford also was much in evi dence behind the bat. TUESDAY'S GAME. The Emporium nine added another victory to their list on Tuesday by de feating the Port Allegany team 5 to 3. The game was a most interesting one, on account of Port Allegany being two runs to the good at one time, but our team pulled themselves together and steadily gained until they landed the game. It looked rather bad in Port Allegany's half of the ninth with a runner on first and second, with no body out, but one run was the best they oould do. The battery fop Emporium was Verner and Mumford.

A Pole named Joe Sweet, employed at the Coal Mines was struck by the Erie Flyer, No. 4, at Cameron station, at 11:48 Saturday night. The man had been at the Valley House until it had closed for the night and then started for his boarding house at the Coke Ovens, and evidently stepped on the wrong track. His left arm and right leg was terribly mangled, besides he had numerous cuts and bruises all over his body. He was found insensi ble along the track by engineman Fet ter, whose train was the first one east after No. 4. Mr. Fetter notified opera tor Shingledecker and Foreman Robin son who had the man brought to the station platform, where he regained consciousness and said he was from Byrne, Pa., where he has a wife and four small children. The railroad ofii ria!s at Itenovo removed him to the hospital at Williamsport on train No. 14. When train No. 14 was pulling out from Cameron station a young man named John McCarthy attempted to get on the rear end of the train and was thrown against the trucks with such force that his clothing became entangled in the wheels and nearly torn off his body. His shoulder was dislocated and he was bably bruised. However, he was able to walk to his home. Fatal Dose. Theodore Gill«on, who took the dose of Chloride of Mercury, died at Ciiy Hall last Saturday morning. Poor Master J. W. Kriner took charge of the ease and shipped his remains to Corry.

In addition to the immed iate family, the following relatives at tended the funeral: Mr. Scott Alden, (father), W. B. Alden, (uncle 1, How ard, N. Y. * * CREIGHTON. The funeral of CORNEJ.H'S CREIUH TON, aged 32 years, who died suddenly at Cook House, last week Tuesday night, took place from the residence of Dennis Donovon last Friday morning —Mrs. Donovon's father being uncle of deceased. The large attendance of relatives and friends accompanied the remains to St. Mark's Catholic church where Requium High Mass was said tor the dead. The following relatives from out of town were present at the funeral: Thomas, James and Joseph (brothers!, Buffalo; Mrs. Maggie O'Harah (sister.)

Ridgway. The Creighton family came to Cameron county in the early sixties and have many friends here, yet most of the family of deceased had left here. They certainly did honor the dead boy, being a very sypathetic family. Large Timber Cut on Medix Run. From the scale as shown us by \lr. Dixon, of the lumbering firm ofTaylor & Dixon, operating on Medix Run, we take the following as accomplished by Mr. Alex \V allace, of Goshen township and four assistants. In five hours time they cut down, cut in board lengths, and peeled three trees which made 18 logs. The first tree cut 6 logs which scaled 2828 feet, the second cut <i logs scaling 5078 feet and the third cut 6 logs scaling 5697 feet, making a grand total scale of the three trees 12,603 feet. The trees stood within ten feet of each other and wore of the pure hemlock variety. Mr. Wallace is one of the old est lumbermen in Clearfield county j and challenges any other crew of five ' men to produce like results in the j same length of time. -Clearfield Jour- i rial. Midsummer Comfort. t hose who have found the Summer ! vacation problem a difficult one, from j the standpoint of economy, will find; some practical suggestions in the j chapter on"Cooperative Housekeeping j at the Seashore" by Isabel Gordon j Curtis, in the August Delineator. The j matter is gone info detail, and facts j and figures demonstrate the advan tages of the scheme. Other features of the magazine, which appeal parti cularly during hot weather, art -'Cold Tit Bits for Hot Days," pictured and described, and a variety of seasonable recipes in cookery under the titles, "A Dozen Fresh Fruit Pies," "Tartlets," and "Iced Deliciousness." Summer fashions and reading complete the number, which is unusually interesting and attractive. Just From Philippines. Edward W. Eschbach, of Baltimore, j Md., who is spending the summer months in Emporium, visiting his sis- 1 ter, Mrs. H. C. Kenley, has joined the Emporium base ball association. Mr. ! Eschbach has recently returned from j the Philippines, having served Uncle j Sam for over three years. He is a 1 good ball player and a creditable ac- | quisition to the club. War in Italy. A number of Italians filled full of bad whiskey engaged in a free for all fight 1 last Sunday night, near the freight depot, in which one was badly cut on ' left cheek and right hand. They re sumed the fight Tuesday morning, when Policeman Mundy arrested the j gang and took them before Esquire Larrabee. Automobile Stables. Mr. John Repctto, of Williamsport, i has rented the City Hotel barn and in tends to maintain a firsMcass lino of automobiles for tho accommodation of the public. He now has one large car and experienced operator. The Observer. According to Mr. Wilson L. Gill of the Franklin Institute, one defect of our system of public education is that school government and discipline rest upon a monarchical, rather thanadem ocratic basis; in consequence of which ! condition the training of the pupils fits ' them rather for subjects of an auto ' eracy than for citzenship of a free re- I public. Imbued with this conviction, Mr. Gill looked about for some practical plan ! by which the school might be made to 1 flulflll its chief function in a republic, ! that of developing in the child a fine ; civic conscience and making him famil : iar with political duties. The plan which he evolved is the School City. "Every school that adopts this method receives a charter from the board of education, and thenceforth the chil dren govern, aided from time to time by the snmpathetic suggestions of the teacher. Under this charter they form a complete city government, each room corresponding to a ward, the government of the whole being admin istered by a mayor, board of council men, judges, policemen and other offi cials, all elected for a term often weeks by the free and full franchise of all the pupils of the School City." A manuol recently issued by the j Board of Public Education of Philadel j phia says: '"The duties of citizenship are so | simple, ea.sy, few and far between . where citizens in general are faithful, that statesmen and scholars have failed to recognize that the habit of perform ing the few dutiesof citizenship is an art, and must be learned as other practical arts, by a long apprenticeship under competent instruction. Conducted with the right spirit, this is both sim ple and easy and a joy to all concerned, but the right habits of life cannot be formed except by long practice " The first School City was authorized by the Philadelphia Board of Educa tion in 1898, and so successful did the experiment prove that in 1903 the ! Board authorized its introduction into all schools applying for the privilege, and thirty schools availed themselves of it before June, 1903. The experi ment has a'so been successfully tried in other parts of the country. General Wood employed Mr. Gill to introduce his method into the public school sys tem of Cuba. The success there is said to be pronounced, "proving that the child mind, even when it has had no educational advantages, is quick to catch the high, fine enthusiasm of the teacher and soon takes pride in the government and discipline of the school in which it is a part of the re sponsible government." "President Roosevelt, in a letter to Mr. Justice of Oarmantown, heartily commends the School City plan. "Nothing," ho says, "couldoffer higher promise for the future of our country than an intelligent interest in the best ideals of citizeuship, its privileges and duties among the students of our com mon schools." American rule in the Philippine Is lands is really the School City plan on a large scale The Filipinos as yet are but children, untaught in the arts of self government. Left to themselves they would speedily fall prey to anar chy and despotism. The policy of our government is so to protect and guide them that in course of time they will have become habituated to self-govern ment and able to administer their local affairs without external guidance or intervention. Yet why should we take such pains with the political training of the Fili pinos, while we take 110 thought for the development of the civic spirit and the civic habit in Our future citizens at home? Improves With Age. While all members ofEmporium ball team play good ball and receive the | applause of our citizens, it is especial ly gratifying to us old timers to note how admirably Eugene Mumford and Jas. Farrell, old-time players, hold up their reputation and play just as good as they did twenty years ago. They seem to improve with age. County Auditor Butler Rusti- j eating Charles L. Butler stole a march on his friends hist Saturday and left for ! parts unknown. Some say he went to ' Atlantic city, while others think he j went to the woods with Senator Dur- j ham.

B.Lloyd.l FRIDAY, Fair. SATURDAY, Fair. SUNDAY, Showers. WASHINGTON LETTER. 1 /from our Regular O3* respondent,) Washington, July 18th, 1900. Eiditor Press:— The railroads of the country ap parently believe that they have de feated the President in his cam paign for railway rate legislation. At least they have recently sent out confidential statements from the press bureau which they main tain to oppose railway rate legis lation, saying that the President has been convinced of the error of his ways and that the effort to se cure legislation for the protection of shippers and consumers will not be seriously pressed at the next session of Congress. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The President is just as much in earnest as he ever was. He will present in his next mes sage to Congress the strongest pos sible argument in favor of delegat ing to the Interstate Commerce Commission the power to fix rates wherever the existing schedules are found, 011 examination, to be un just, the rates fixed by the com mission to take effect immediately and togo into effect within from thirty to sixty days and to remain in force until and unless set aside by the courts. The great effort of the railways will be to prevent any rate set by the Interstate Com merce Commission from going into effect until approved by the courts. This wou\l mean. cf course, that the wealthy railroads would keep every contest in the courts for years, taking appeal after appeal, until the unfortunate shipper who had made the complaint was ex hausted, financially ruined, or dead. With the law abvocated by the President once on the statutes it is probable that there would be com paratively few instances in which Interstate Commerce Commission would feel it necessary to fix rates for the reason that the railroads themselves, knowing that such a power existed, would take care to make reasonable and just rates. There might be numerous com , plaints to the Commission but there would probably be few instances , where the Commission would find it necessary to exercise its rate making power. The railroads ap preciate all this full well, and dread the day when they may be compelled to make just rates in order to avoid the changing of their schedules by the Commission. Under the strong impetus given it by the President, the investiga tion if the Department of Agri culture's bureau of statistics is moving right along. The Presi dent has taken the whole matter out of the hands of Secretary Wil son and has confided it to the De partment of Justice, and Solicitor General lloyt and District At torney Beach are pushing the in vestigation as rapidly as circum stances will permit. It is general ly believed that John Ilyde, chiff Statistican of the Bureau, will asked to resign when the inves# gation is concluded. It is not shown that Mr. Ilyde was guilty of anything in the least savoring of dishonesty but it is claimed that he has manifested serious incom-' petence and a grave lack of admin istrative ability and that the in vestigation will show that he is not up to the heavy responsibilities which must necessarily devolve on the Chief Statistician, the most im portant of which is the capacity to judge men.
