Interesting Paragraphs from Our Exchanges. Pennsylvania's peach crop this year is estimated at over one hundred thous and bushels, it is said. Centre county will furnish from seven to eight thous and bushels according to estimates. The Altoona police arrested a beggar in the streets the other day and inves tigation brought out the fact that the man had a $(50,000 bank account and a handsome home in Pittston which he had acquired through begging. At Solomon, Kan., a farm of 160 acres is operated entirely by five wo men—a mother and four grown daugh ters—and a boy of 12 years. Each of the women has her own department. The labor is distributed equally among them. A Philadelphia paper has gathered statistics which show that women's chances to marry between the ages of 25 and 30 are only 18 per cent, while between 20 the 25 the chances in her favor are 52 per cent. Apparently it is rather dangerous to say no to the first man. Postmaster General Cortelyon has issued orders that rural mail carriers shall paint all boxes along their routes. The paint will be supplied by the gov ernment and the carriers will be allow ed twenty-five cents per box for their work. All right, but don't paint 'em red. It has always been known that sheep injured or killed by dogs are paid for by the county, but that the law also applies to cows, horses; pigs, etc., is not so generally known, and yet the State Legislature recenty passed a law which clearly provides that any such damage may be recovered through the County Commissioners in the same manner us sheep damages are recovered. After reading the criticisms of the Bradford newspapers of the late fire men's tournament held in that city, the average citizen will be left to won der whether such gatherings are not a positive ft? thr >"rtg run to any community. It is a disgusting and sickeniog tale that the Bradf i d papers ' tell of so-called respectable married and unmarried women consorting with drunken strangers, and conducting themselves in a most, disgraceful man mer.—Smethport Democrat. The story of the action of Postmaster Bowan, of Berwick, in sending to President Roosevelt for 2 cents due on a letter, has been copied until it has I crossed the sea and its being read in the papers the world over. Ernest ; Orner, proprietor of the Jigger photo | graph gallery at Berwick, received a clippling from the Evening News of Portsmouth, England, containing the j account. The clipping was sent by his I father. The paper held up the action |as an example of American law and j that in obeying the law and postal : regulations the President is on the 1 level with the humblest of citizens - | Exchange. i i Miss Itoselle Knott, who is starring this season in Kane, Shipman and Col i vin's grand production "When ! Knighthood Was in Flower," has pro bably received as many laudatory com ments as any living actress. More especially as "Mary Tudor" in her present play has her work been favor i ably criticised. The following expres i sion from one of the best critics of the day, and a severe one, seems to best set forth the opinion of theatre goers in general: "The play 'When Knight hood Was in Flower' affords many I theatrical and these Miss Knott adroitly uses. Her embodiment | of Mary Tudor crystalizes into one en ! K a gi"g personality the attributes of authority, impetuosity, intrepidity, force of will, gleeful caprice alterna j ting with tenderness, and ardent pas sion tempered with both sweetness and mirth. She presents a woman who loves, and who, amid enemies and perils, has the courage of her love it seems probable that her impersonation : shows her personal ideal of woman > hood and is but little, if any, removed from a revelation of her actual selt. ilt certainly is an interesting and j winning image of feminine variety, in tegrity, romantic ardor and fenine charm."

Big Crcus Coming. The small boy and his sister have long been looking forward to Satur day, August 26. Yes, and the older folks, too, doubtless, have the day marked on the calendar, for isn't the great Sig. Sautelle and Welsh Bros.' combined railroad shows scheduled to exhibit in Emporium on that date? The circus will come here on its own specially constructed cars, of which there will be two long trains. The ad vent of the circus will recall in mature minds the days of early youth. In re trospection we can see ourselves as little children getting up long before daylight to watch the circus come to town. And we shall always vividly re member the delightful impression the first circus made on us. It may have been a very small and unpretentious affair, —even insignificent, when com pared with the Sig. Sautelle and Welsh Bros.' circus—but it will always linger in the memory. Circus day is distinctively an Ameri can holiday. And, excepting Christ mas, it is about the most enjoyable holiday in all the year, Everybody, age notwithstanding, is young on circus day and we will be glad to wel come the circus here. Every sign seems to indicate that these all Dew and enormous shows will be given a royal welcome in this town. The first important event of circus day will be the gorgeous gigantic free •treet parade which will leave the show grounds promptly at 10 a. m , and traverse the principle thoroughfares of Emporium. This pageaht is said to be second to none and is worth traveling many miles to witness. It will be re plete and resplendent with a profusion of such features as are customarily found in a large and well-regulated circus parade. Don't miss the mam moth free street display. The famous Sautelle and Welsh Bros ' circus will be in Johnsonburg, Monday, August '2B. Stole Woodman's Shoes. A man giving his name as Edward Kelly was arrested on Monday by ' .'hief of Police Frank Muudy charged with stealing a pair of "woodsmeu's" shoes from Joseph Luther who he had been in company with that day. The facts are as follows: Kelly and Luther had been together during the day and had drank considerable, but had became separated. Luther pur chased a pair of Woodsmen "Wiscon sin'' shoes, and intended togo to work. He sat down, but in order that he would not lose his shoes, if he should goto sleep, wrapped the laces around his hand so they could not be taken with out awakening him and went to dream land. While asleep the laces were cut and the shoes taken and to his surprise when he awoke he had nothing but part of the laces left. He notified Chief of Police Mundy, and gave a des cription of the man that he had been with and the Chief went down the rail road to the East Ward and located his man at Costello's hotel. Kelly seeing Mundy, started to run up Allegany Ave.,to A. F. Andrew's where he took i to the railroad but was met by Chief , Mundy and he started back, and to his great surprise again ruE into Mr. Mundy, who had cut across lots and came out above Costello's hotel, where : Keily gave himself up. He was taken j before Esquire Larrabee sad in default • of bail was committed to the county ! jail. The shoes that were stolen were i recovered and are now iR posession of i the proper authorities. Previous to the arrest of this man Kelly, landlord Murphy of the Com mercial Hotel made complaint to j Policeman Mundy that tie could not keep a comb, soap or brush in his wash ' rooaa, and upon searching the prisoner, j a comb and other articles identified by i landlord Murphy were found in his | possession. Officer Mundy does not I allow any of the law breakers toes ! cape if he gets a clew of some kind. It is thought that this man Kelly is an ! old offender. Preaching by the Pastor. The Rev. W. H. Closson who has been appointed to succeed Rev. H. C. Bower who has resigned togo as a missionary teacher toPenang, Streights i Settlement, will preach next Sunday Aug. 27, u.t More Hill, 11a. m.; Howard Siding, 3 p. m.; and Beech wood at 7.30 p. m. Sept. fi, Dr. Wilcox, Presiding Elder, will preach at More Hill. We hope that there shall be a large attend ence next. Sunday to greet the new I pastor.

A Romanian peddler went to sleep beside his pack near Pan-Am.,depot last Friday night where he had the front cut out of his pants and relieved of his pocket book, containing about S2O. The thieves also went through his pack and took a number of articles. Fast Riding. Attention has been called a number of times in regards to fast driving through our public thoroughfares but the driving of a horse is not to be com pared with the fast running of an auto mobile or a motor cycle. The law is being violated every day. The pace is entirely too fast for the safety of our citizens and steps should be taken to stop the practice before some body is injured. Did Not Preach. The Rev. Mr. Vrooman, of Keating Summit,who was to have preached at First Methodist Episcopal Church here last Sunday was unexpectedly called to his home late Saturday night, on ac count of the serious illness of his daughter. The lady who has suffered from a stoke of paralysis for some time, suffered another attack Saturday even ing. The many friends of the reverend gentleman were sorry to learn of the sad news and grievously disappointed that they did not meet their old pastor on this occasion. Barn Burned. The barn of R. P. Bingeman was discovered to be on fire Monday even ing about 0:30 o'clock and the alarm brought out the firemen who succeed ed in extinguishing it, it was thought, but the fire had gotten under the hay and about one o'clock broke out again and was put out by Thos. Smith, Alton Housler and Win. Auchu. The fire started in the mow which contaiu ed about seven tons of hay and had gained considerable headway when discovered. The building was badly damaged. No insurance. New Trespass Law. The new trespass law which was passed by the last legislature provides a fine of ten dollars for those convicted of entering upon the premises of an other to hunt or steal fruit, vegetables, etc., together with all the costs of prosecution. The law provides that where the defendants are not able to pay the fine and costs they shall be confined in jail one day for each dollar charged up against them, The law is a pretty strenuous one, but it will not effect honest people who do not steal, ; and dishonest people who do steal ! have no right to be considered. Arrested in Oregon. SUMPTER, ORE., Aug. 16.— S. D. Dev ' lin a locomotive engineer, was arrested j here yesterday by Sheriff Steele, of ! Cattaraugus county, N. Y., charged I with the murder of a stranger, with | whom he quarreled at Olean in that ! county. Devlin will be taken back to j New York. OLEAN, Aug. 16—-Thecharge against Devlin is assault, second degree. He was indicted by the Cattaraugus grand jury in May this year Thomas Wilson of Salamanca also a railroad man, was the victim of the alleged assault. Dev lin's home is in Dttßois. Offiers had been trying for months to locate him. The PRESS published an account of i the assault last spring and stated th"s j facts at that time. .A Few Hurried Notes of A Jolly Picnic. ! Through the kindness of Mr. and , Mrs. Allen Baldwin and family, the hearts of the little lads and lassies of 1 the town were made glad Wednesday, j A picnic was billed to come off at the :{ popular grove at Sizerville, and when Old Sol winked his best eye that morn i ing everything was ready far a day of jollification and fun, and if all reports ; are correct (and of course they are) the little folks; also soaie larger • ones, had a fine and handsome time. They passed the day i« pleasure, j bathing, dancing, etc., and when they returned oil the Buffalo train in the ! evening they were tired hut happy. ! One of the interesting features was the fease ball game played in the afternoon, S the girls never missed striking at the : hall and of course always missed it. I Mrs. Fred Seger was on band wit h a ' kodak and took some interesting 1 soenes Miss Taggart and Mr. Chas. Wiley got up just in time for the i "eatins." The luncheon prepared by Mrs. Bald : win was the "best ever", and to say ! that it was hugely enjoyed by all pres ent is expressing it most mildly.

The community was terribly shock ed this morning to learn of the sudden death of Mrs. Cloyes, wife of Mr. H. H. Cloyes. fhe lady arose in her usual health and after eating breakfast felt kind of dizzy, and about eight o'clock was stricken with cerebral hemor rhage and died within a half hour. Her remains will be taken to James town to-morrow morning on flyer for interment, which will be made on Sun day. She is survived by a husband and three small children. Mrs. Cloyes came to Emporium several years ago and made friends with all. She was a lady greatly beloved by all who knew her, and her death is a sad blow to her husband and children. Base Ball. There will be another game of base ball between the Renovo P. & E., team and Emporium nine at Keystone Park tomorrow (Friday) afternoon. While this is the same team that defeated Emporium last Saturday, owing to having no pitcher at the start of the game, the boys do not propose to allow such a walk over this time. Our team having played good ball all summer it is hoped all lovers of the game will turn out and do what "rooting"' they can. The Renovo team is one of the strongest in this section and Empori um has beaten thern on their home grounds. Turn out and see the game it will be a hummer. * ■* * The game at Renovo last Thursday between Emporium and Renovo' P. & E., teams, was won after a twelve in ning struggle by the Emporium boys, the score being 4 to 2 in their favor. * * # The Renovo P. R. R., team came to Emporium last Saturday and played a game with our boys. Owing to the crippled condition of our team, they won hands down. Score 16 to 6. Mill Burned. Mr. Frank Linninger, who has been employed by Hyde & Doutt at Eagle Rock, Pa., was in town between trains on Tuesday and made the PRESS a sub stantial business call. He informs us that the mill owned by the above com pany at that place was burned on Mon day. The fire started during the noon hour, and while the compauy did all that could be done to save their prop erty, having two fire companies at work, the entire mill equipement was destroyed. Mr. Linniger was on his way to his home at Cameron owing to the fire, it not being positively known whether the company intends to re build or not. They had one of the finest mills in that section of the country. It was fitted up with electric lights and had all the most modern labor saving appliances known. The loss is $30,000 with an insurance of §16,000. J. C. Hyde Dead. Word was received on Tuesday of! the death of J. C. Hyde, a former resi- 1 dent of Emporium, who died at his home at Butler, Pa., on Monday. Mr. Hyde was Superintendent of a division of the Buffalo, Rochester Jt Pittsburg railroad, but on account ofill health, resigned that position some time ago and traveled in Southern California in hopes to regain his former health. We are iniormed he had recently ac cepted a position as superintendent of a Southern railroad. He is survived by a wife and two sons, Mrs. T. F. Moore of this place, being a sister of deceased. The friends of Mr. Hyde at this place will be grieved to learn of his death. Bitten by Rattlesnake. A. H. Barr, of Hut-ton Hill, was bitten by a rattlesnake, between the thumb and finger on Tuesday Aug. 15. Mr. Barr was out after berries and ran into a den of the reptiles and succeeded in killing seven. The Driftwood Gazette | says: Dr. Merrill, of Dents Run, was : hastily sent for and he bled the hand | and did all that could be done, but he ! grew worse and Dr. Love, of Medix ! Run, was summoned, and on Saturday i Dr. DeLong, of Emporinm was called in. At this writing, August 22nd, he is getting better and good hopes are : entertained for his recovery. The arm is swollen very badly and has turned black, as has also his right side and across his stomach. DEATH'S DOINGS, m HEBTIG.

[New York Tribune, August 13,1505.] During the month of July the Penn sylvania Special arrived in Chicago ex actly on the minute of its schedule every day. The eastbound Pennsyl vania Special arrived in New York, on schedule time twenty-three days. The average detention on seven days was less than ten minutes, due entirely to conditions for which the train crew could not be held responsible. The greatest breach in the schedule was on July 14, when the Special was held up behind a freight wreck, which blocked all four tracks on the Middle Division, entailing a loss of two hours and twenty-two minutes in the regular ar riving time at New York. It is diffiult to find a match for this record. It demonstrates that the sche dule has sufficient elasticity to take up any ordinary detentions which may occur between termini, and that even a faster regular schedule may be made should it be deemed wise. The fine condition of the roadbed, the efficient motive power, and skillful operation all contribute to the ease with which the Special accomplishes its work. Identity of An Old Man Remains Unknown, OLEAN, N. Y., Aug. 18—The dead body of a man who was apparently about 65 years old was found beside a hay stack in the tank lot near the pump station in North Olean yesterday morning by some of the pump station employes. He was about five feet, seven inches tall and would weigh about 150 pounds. His beard and mustache was sandy and his hair gray. It was somewhat thin on the front of his head. Ho had no teeth. The man's clothing was cheap, his coat and vest being black and his trou sers and shirt gray. The shirt was a ; woolen one. In the pocket was found j a paper with the name of a hotel in j Sinnamahoning, Pa., and in another was found a ticket on the Pennsylvania ! road between Sinnamahoning and j Williamsport. There were no marks ! on the body and no money except one , penny. The men about the pump station saw the man lying on the east side of the hay stack Wednesday night but in the morning his body was on the north side when found. He had not been dead long. It is believed the man has been em ployed about a livery stable or was a barn man about a hotel. LOST—A $5 bill. Finder will please leave same at this office. NO. 27.
