Settle the Question Here, Boys.
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

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. From
there he goes to Portsmouth, N. 11., to

The Great American Game.
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.

Struck by Train.
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. None ofthe unfortunate man's
relatives, who were notified of the in
cident, came to see him. One more
unfortunate slave to drug and liquor
passed away, unwept and unmourned.

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

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.

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.

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.
