THE RENOVO GAME-
Our boys went to Renovo on Friday
and played a game at that place, while
they met defeat by a score of 3 to 2, the
game was a most exciting and uncer
tain one. The Renovo News says:
"Upwards of one thousand spectators
witnessed the first, game this season be
tween the strong Emporium and P.
E. base ball clubs of this place.
"The uncertainty of the national
game was fully demonstrated in the
contest, the final result being in doubt
until the last Emporium player was re
tired in the ninth,
"Cummings of Emporium put up a
nice game at second, taking everything
that came his way. Hockley made
two difficult catches in left field but
dropped an easy chance "

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY. AUGUST 3, 1905.
Remains of John Dumm Found.
On Tuesday, July 13th, John Dumm,
who worked for C B. Howard Com
pany at Camp No. 20, or. Cooks Run,
complained of feeling unwell and went
to his boarding house. After supper
he told his foreman he would goto
Emporium for medical assistance. Not
hearing anything about him, woods
foreman, A Dent Smith, started a
crew of men out to search for the miss
ing man, but all efforts to locate him
proving without avail, the search was
given up.
On Monday Lewis Yates, while go
ing to his work, about one-half mile
from camp, came upon the decompos
ed [remains of the unfortunate man,
lying in a fresh slashing. He evidently
became bewildered and wandered
away from the road and laid down to
die. Deceased had not been in good
health, for some time, in fact was a
nervous wreck. The report that an
empty bottle of poison was found near
hip body is not correct, the bottle hav
ing contained oil of tar, used in the
woods to keep away flies.
Undertaker Laßar was notified by
the Company to take charge of the re
mains, his wagon being driven up to
the camp Monday afternoon and what
was left of his body placed in a rough
box and brought to his morgue at this
place to await word from his relatives,
who reside at Cogan Station.
Mr. A. Dent Smith, who has known
the deceased for a number of years,
states that he has a sister, Mrs. Frank
Lud wig, at Cogan Station His age is
about 45 years.
His remains were interred in New
ton Cemetery Tuesday afternoon at
three o'clock. Rev. R. A. Robertson
offering a prayer at the grave. It is
possible that the relatives of the de
ceased may remove the remains to
their home.
Mysterious Death
The County Commissioners were
ealled up on the 'phone Wednesday by
parties at Medix Run, who communi
cated the information that a man had
died in the streets at Medix Run under
mysterious circumstances—apparently
suffering from poison The parlies in
sisted that an inquest should bo held.
Accordingly the inquest was held
Wednesday afternoon by Justice E. H.
Dixon, of Caledonia, and after examin
ing into the facts of the case the coron
er's jury decided that the man died of
alcoholism. The man's name proved
to be Lee Kirkland, and his home is in
ILirrisburg, where lie leaves a widow
and live children. He was aged about
.15 years, and is thought to have come
into this county to hunt work, probab
ly in the woods. It is said he fell in
the road, frothed at the mouth in a
kind of fit, and died before he could be
moved to any house. The death oc
curred at about - o'clock in the after
noon. A team from the County Home
was sent after the body this morning
and the Commissioners are communi
cating with the family as to what dis
position they shall make of the re
mains. This is only more of the many
victims of rum in this county every
year.—Ridgway Advocate. We are
informed Kirkland used to reside at
Sinneinahoning, were he worked in
the woods.
Credit to our High School.
Paul T. Arnold, the eldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. N. T. Arnold, of this
place, recently took the examinations
for admittance as a student at Yale
College. During the present week the
young man received a notice that he
passed such a fine examination that he
was admitted to Yale without a single
condition. Paul was a member of the
Ridgway High School class of 1905,
and the fact that he was so easily ad
mitted to such a celebrated institution
of Yale College reflects a great deal of
credit on our high school and his
teachers. Even Prof. Peirce himself
is deldghtcjn at this high honor. -Ridg

The Observer.
Some years ago Professor William
James, of Harvard, wrote a little book
entitled "The Will to Believe," in
which he showed, with the profound
analysis of a psychological expert and
with his well known literary skill, that
an act of will is involved in every act
of belief, and that a want of belief, of
interest, of conviction, is due to a
nerveless and passive will. The man
who has no beliefs is a non-entity, an
object of contempt Doubts and ques
tionings have their place and function,
but their place and function should be
strictly subordinate to a supreme posi
tive conviction and active purpose. If
weare exhorted to "prove all things,"
we are also urged to "hold fast that
which is good," and are moreover
sharply warned against the spirit which
is "ever learning, but never able to
coine to a knowledge of the truth."
Contrast the power of a Peter the
Hermit, fanatic though he was, with
the pitiable ineffectiveness ot a Hamlet
whoso "cast of thought" was not domi
nated by a "native hue of resolution."
The man without faith, without a
cause, without enthusiasm, |is to be
blamed for failing to exert the active
will power of a vigorous and noble
manhood. The world's leaders and
workers and battlers h;iv"e ever been
man who have had the will to believe
in something. No man can sit on the
fence and believe in God or in any
thing else. The will must be active,
the mind must bestir itself, if there is
to be belief. Indeed, the mind is act
ive in all our acts of perception and
judgment. Every mental process,
even those of our physical senses, in
volves attention, which is an act of the
will. Without attention, one's beset
friend may stand right before his eyes,
and yet he will not he aware of that
friend's presence. We see what we
give attention to. Two persons may
stand upon the same hill-top and cast
their eyes around the same sweep of
landscape, yet what the one sees may
be very different from what the other
sees One may be a real estate agent,
or a mining prospector, while the other
may he a painter or a poet. What
each of them sees depends quite as
much upon what he himself brings to
the scene as upon the scene itself. The
mind of neither is a mere passive, in
active surface, sensitized like a camera
plate; but is a very active agent which
discriminates, rejects, selects and con
structs a picture of what is before it,
as unique as its cwn individuality. It
is a commonplace, that if we know
what one sees, we know what he him
self is.
The pessimist and the cynic justify
themselves by saying that they see
life as it, and that consequently they
are no more to be blamed for being
pessimistic and cynical than the side
of a scales is to be blamed for drop
ping when when a weight is placed on
it. If they were really impartial in
their view of facts, the case would not
be so bad; hut their view is not impar
tial; they do not see things whole, nor
as they are. To see and appreciate
the better things of existence it is nec
essary that one come to the view with
j a heart ready to love tiiem and with a
will ready to co-operate with the spirit
of the best and to carry out one's own
part of the Larger Purpose. Without
such a disposition and will,one is with
out the very basis of character and
one's view of things is distorted and
dim.
