WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Fromour Regular Clorretpondent.)
Washington, Sept. 9th, 1905.
Editor PTCRM:—
There are numerous indications
that the railroeds of the country
are preparing to offer the private
car lines now doing business to
their lines as a sacrifice to the
President's demand for railway
rate legislation at the next session
of Congress and if that is rejected
as insufficient to defy the Presi
dent and trust to the powerful in
fluance of their lobby in Washing
ton and to the voters of the mem
bers of Congress whom they own,
body and soul, to prevent the
enactment of any legislation which
would not prove to their liking.
While this impression was gained
some time ago, both from talking
with prominent railroad men in
Washington and from the charac
ter of the testimony presented be
fore the Senate Committee on In
terstate Commerce, but it has re
ceived strong confirmation from
the tenor of the replies of the rail
roads to the questions addressed to
them by the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the subject of pri
vate refrigerator car lines.
Thus far four important rail
roads have signified in writing
their determination to make furth
er contracts with the private car
companies and to conduct their
own refrigerated freight system.
These are the Michigan Central,
the Pere Marquette, the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy and the Il
linois Central railways, all of whose
lines have proved especially profit
able fields to the rapacious private
car companies. While these are
the only lines which have thus
signified their intention, there are
numerous others which have given
indications of a similar purpose
and there is ground for the belief
that the campaign instituted by
President Roosevelt will at least
serve to relieve shippers from the
extortion of the private car com
panies and to remove from the dif
ficult railway equation this import
ant factor in the creation and
maintenance of trusts.
A Marvelous Enterprise.
Every day the expression is heard,
"It is marvelous how a Sunday news
paper can give to its readers free of
charge such a beautiful color magazine
as is given with The Philadelphia Sun
day Press."
This magazine is equal to any ten
cent magazine and is given absolutely
free with The Sunday Press, a Sunday
i newspaper which costs only five cents
per copy. The Sunday Press also has
two other beautiful color magazines,
consisting of a Women's Magazine,
which is unexcelled, and a Comic
Magazine, equal to the best.
Such wonderfui and valuable parts
of a Sunday newspaper which is ably
edited throughout, constantly add
thousands of copies to the circulation
of The Philadelphia Press. Do you
read it? If not, notify your newsdeal
er at once to begin serving you with
this newspaper. 28 4t.

The County Sunday School Con
vention.
The annual convention of the Sun
day School Association of Cameron
County was held in the parish house of
Emmanuel Church on Thursday and
Friday of last week. It proved to be
one of the best gatherings of the kind
yet held in the county in point of at
tendance and interat. Delegates rep
resenting all parts of the county were
present. The state organization was
represented by Miss Ermina C. Lincoln,
of Philadelphia, whose helpful ad
dresses were a notable feature of the
convention. Local speakers were Pro
fessor E. S. Ling, President of the
County Association; the County Sup
erintendent of Education, Miss Mattie
M. Collins; Messrs. Josiah Howard and
I. K. Hockley, the Rev. Mr. Dow, of
Rich Valley and the Rev. J. M. Robert
son. Many helpful and stimulating
points were also brought out in the
open discussions.
The following officers were elected
for the coming year: President, Pro
fessor E. S. Ling; Secretary and Treas
urer, Mrs. Laura A. Smith, of Sterling
Run; Executive Committee, Messrs.
Josiah Howard, J. O. Brookbank and
the Rev. Robert McCaslin; Secretary
of the Cradle Roll Department, Miss
Bessie McCaslin; Secretary of the
Home Department, Miss Mary Robin
son; Secretary of the Teachers' Train-
ing Department, Mrs. Dankle.
The Rev. Robert McOaslin was
chosen as delegate to represent the
county at the coming State convention
in Philadelphia, October 11-13. The
secretary was also authorized to furn
ish credentials as delegates to any
other Sunday school workers in the
county who may be able to attend the
state convention.
The Secretary's report shows 19
Sunday schools in the county, fifteen
of which are open all the year. There
are 169 officers and teachers and 1267
scholars. This makes including 77 en
rolled In the cradle department, a total
enrollment of 1513.
For the Housewife.
In housekeeping liberality is often
the best economy, particularly at the
beginning of Winter, when the wise
expenditure of a considerable sum on
the season's food supply may mean
the saving of many a dollar. Some
practical advice in this direction is
given by Isabel Gordon Curtis in the
October Delineator, which contains
many features of housewifely interest.
•'Hallowe'en Party Novelties," illus

freshment and entertainment, is a sea

A Woman's Luck.
She was picking her way along the
muddy sidewalk trying to protect her
hat with an umbrella and and lift her
skirts above the mud. Suddenly she
bent over. Her shirt swept the side
walk, the rain drops struck fair and
square on her hat and a pedestrian
coming from the opposite direction
bumped into and nearly paralyzed her
umbrella But she picked up the pin
and presumably bad good luck the rest
of the day.
Automobile Trip.
A party of Emporiumites enjoyed an
automobile ride to Coudersport last
Sunday to visit friends. The parties
consisted of Mr. and Mrs. P. G. Judd,
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Metzger, Jr., Mr.
and Mrs. A. P. Andrews, Mrs. Lizzie
Hinkle, and Mrs. J. D. Logan, E J.
Smith and F. F. Hiillker had charge of
the party and carefully managed their
cars, returning th«- party safely homo.
Who Can Do it?
It is reported that the Democratic
machine has discovered that the offi
cers of their late convention have no
authority to fill the vacancy on their
ticket, that of Sheriff, owing to the
fact that the officers died when the
convention adjourned. The question
now confronts them: Who has the
authority to fill the vacancy.

"THE NATIONAL FLOWER"
A Pleasing and Successful Performance by
Home Talent.
On last Friday and Saturday even
ings large audiences in the opera
house listened with keen delight to the
comic operetta, "The National Flow
er," rendered by home talent under
the direction of Mr. John Sinclair, of
Ridgway. The operetta was given
under the auspices of the Sewing
Society of Emmanuel church for the
benefit of the pipe organ fund. It was
the universal verdict of all who heard
the operetta that no more pleasing en
tertainment by home talent has erer
been given in Emporium, a tribute at
once to the attractive qualities of the
operetta itself, to the energy and en
thusiasm of the director, and to the
talent of the performers. Of the lat
ter Emporium has just ground to feel
proud.
This operetta, by the well known
composer, M* BB Carry B. Adams, is in
its general idea an adaptation of Sulli
van's "Trial by Jury," and some of the
airs are taken directly or arranged
from Sullivan. Various flowers repre
sented by classes and soloists, present

A terrible accident occurred last
Monday in New York City, an elevat

Twelve persons were killed and scores
injured.
Elmer Hart Arrested.
Railroad tinner Seth Conover, of
Buffalo, N. V., Sheriff Hemphill, of
Emporium, and Officer Steele, of
Olean, N. Y., arrested Elmer Hart at
Cameron, early Monday morning,
Sept 11th. Hart, a young man named
Bev ling, nearly murdered a railroad
man in Salamanca yard last spring.
Hart is now in Emporium jail, await
ingextradition papers from New York
State. Sheriff Hemphill made the
arrest.
A Sensational Elopement at
Cameron.
Miss Alice Stewart, aged 17 years, of
Cameron, eloped with a young man
named William Dryburg, Friday night,
September Bth and no trace them i
has been found. The officers oi tn.
county have all been notified but up to
this time their search has been fruitless.
No one saw the couple or the direction
they took. It appears that they quiet
ly left her home, where Dryburg had
been boarding. They left in the night
while the other people were sleeping.
Child Takes Poison.
Tuesday afternoon a four year old
child of Ed. Ritter, one the foremen in
Howard Co's saw mill, drank about
two teaspoonfuls of laudanum, and
then brought the bottle to his mother
and told her of it. Dr. Heilman
was summoned by phone and prompt
ly emptied the child's stomach and
washed it out with the pump and then
administered the usual antidote. In a
short time the child recovered from its
drowsiness and was again all right.
Emporium Bakery.
With the purpose of making our
bakery second to none, we have en
gaged the service, of Mr. Wm. Jordan,
of Punxsutawuey. He is a skillful and
experienced workman,having been em
ployed several years in many of the
exclusive bakeshops of the larger cities.
Mr. Jordan will have charge ol our
bakerv department and is now prepar
e.l to give prompt attention to the
needs of our patrons.
It is our aim that will allow no op

which will prove thoroughly acceptable

It would he impossible, within the
limits of our space, to give detailed
mention of all the several elements of
the performance so creditably render
ed by all. It is difficult to believe that
the roles of Judge and bailiff have
ever been so well rendered as they
were by Miss Anna Metzger and Mr.
A D. Ericsson. The solo singing of
Misses Walker, McCaslin and Tr jgart
and Mrs. S. E. Murry was heartily ap
preciated, as were also the perform
ances of the young men representing
the parts of Unale Sam, the lawyers,
the sup flower, onion, oak and thistle.
From "a spectacular point of view the
performance was excellent, the swing
scene being especially beautiful.
Regarding Vaccination.
Editor Press:
In view of the fact that the State
Health authorities are urging the en
forcement of the law regarding vacci
nation and that there are some heads
of families in our own community op
posed to vaccination, it might be wise
to publish the fact of the results of
State Veterinarian, Leonard Pearson,
M.D., investigations concerning small
pox. After carefully studying the
mortality »" "»*' K oth in this coun
try and abroad, he found that of all the
deaths from all causes,prior to vaccina
tion, over 50 per cent, were from small
pox, and that since vaccination had be
come general that this relation was less
than one per cent It might be well to
also publish the following: "Vaccina
tion creed." The department of
health, after years of experience with
small-pox and vaccination hereby de
clares:
"First—That true vaccination—repeated until
it no longer takes,—always prevents small-pox.
Nothing else does.
"Second -That true vaccination—that is vacci
nation properly done on a clean arm with pure
lymph and kept perfectly clean and unbroken
afterwards -never did and never will make a
serious sore.
"Third—That such a vaccination leaves a char
acteristic scar, unlike that from any other cause,
which is recognizable during life and is the only
conclusive evidence of a successful vaccination.
"Fourth—That no untoward results ever fol
low such vaccination; on the ol * % er hand, thous
ands of lives are annually s Tificed through
the neglect to vaccinate—a nefc »ct begotten of
lack of knowledge."
