Fancy Cookery for Christmas.
Wlnt would Chistmas be without the
traditional dinner with the good old
fashioned plum pudding and the num
erous o'.her soa-o lable dainties? But
something new in this line in the prac
tice, coming into favor, or including
various forms of cookery among one's i
Christmas gifts. In the December Dei
lineator there is a suggestive chapter |
iu "The making of a Housewife," by
Is ib?l G >rdon Curtis, giving many use
ful hints to this purpose. "Suggestions
f>r a Child's Christmas Party," ''Vari
ous Plum Puddings and Harmonious I
Sausces," and "Quaint Little Cakes for J
Holiday Occasions" prove to be useful 1 j
as well as something new to add to one's i
menus, and Home-Made Holiday !
Beverage" and "Table Decorations for

very valuable department of the rnaga- '

The Apolo Glee Club.
The Apbllo Glee and Minstrel Club,
the concluding number in the Teach
er's Institute series of entertainments
was the climax of the week. For two
hours the attention of the audience it
was of capacity size) was not allowed
to lag and had all the demands for en
cores been responded to the length of
the program would have greatly ex
ceeded that limit The Glees were
sung with a snap, a soulfulness and a
sweetness that was inspiring. The
minstrel specialties were splendid, ab
solutely free from coarseness, compel
ling those not accustomed to merri
ment, to laugh immoderately. Every
part of the program was of indisputed
excellence and the audience felt on
leaving the hall that it had been dliglit
fully entertained.
Wedding Bells.
A very pretty wedding took place
last evening at 7:30 o'clock at the Firet
Presbyterian Church, when Miss a CAR
OLYN LOUISE MCQCAY was united in

ion of Mrs Chas. W. Shaffer.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1905.
HON. GEO. A. WALKE, AGED 76 YEARS.
Death and Burial of Judge George j
A. Walker.
In our last is.suo we announced, the
sad intelligence that Associate Judge
George A. Walker had met with an ac
cident while visiting,((accompanied by
his son Geo. A Jr., and MUs Walk ;r,)
W. S. Walker, at Austin, and was then
in an unconscious state, not having at
any time regained consciousness after
falling down stairs. The announce- i
meut of his death was 'phoned to Em-!
porium last Friday night, about nine |
o'clock, that he had breathed his last i
at ten minutes of nine. A number |
of the directors of the First National j
Bank having just returned from visit j
ing their President, immediately re- j
turned to Austin to convey his re- j
mains to his home at this place, arriv- ]
ing here on Saturday evening. Short |
religious services were held at Austin
by the Rev. Mr. Donahue, pastor of the ;
Presbyterian Church, before convey- j
ing the remains to Emporium. Upon
arrival of the train from Austin a vast
concourse of citizens met the remains !
at Broad street station and many were j
the expressions of regret over the j
death of this prominent and success
ful business man and citizen. It was
the intention of the family to hold the
the funeral on Tuesday afternoon, but
in deference to the wishes of many
friends from different sections it was
thought best to postpone the last sad |
rites until Wednesday afternoon, in !
order to allow all to pay a proper re- ;
spec I to one who has been closely ideu-1
tities-i with the material interests of i
Emporium and Cameron county for j
thirty-two years.
A BUSY LIFE.
A majority of our citizens are per- j
fectly conversant with the humble j
origin of the deceased, his years of j
hard toil in a blacksmith shop, after 1
which he entered the Brown & Struth- I
er.s Iron Works at Warren, as foreman; j
how he managed the great oil well ;
supplies turned out at that time By'
yard work he managed to save little ;
by little until his small investments i
warranted his branching out for him- J
self, which he did, locating at St Marys 1
and engaging in business. Believing j
in the future of Emporium, he located I
here and purchased the J. L. Beers j
hardware store and soon became inter-1
ested in many industries here—his first |
venture aside from his store being in
the lumbering business with Andrew '
Kaul, on Sterling Run. In ISB4 he I
strongly advocated the establishing of
a Bank in Emporium and with a num- '
ber of gentlemen succeeded in organiz- i
ing the First National Bank and was j
chosen President, a position he held to 1
the day of his death. His careful and '
wise management soon placed the
First National <»n a firm footing and t<>
this day has always been considered'
one of the most conservative managed
institutions in the state. During tin
depression in business it was his finan
cial management that saved more than
one business man from ruin and bank
ruptcy. Early he formed a co-partner
ship with the late William Howard and 1
erected the brick block at the corner
of Fourth and Broad streets, where a
successful business was conducted un
til he sold his stock of hardware to
Murry & Coppersmith Co., In order to
allow his son W. S. Walker to give his
attention to the Emporium Lumber
Company's extensive business—an
other industry that owes Geo. A.Walk
er a debt of gratitude for standing by
it until it could walk alone and pros
pered. He was one of the organizers
of Emporium Water Company and a
stockholder in St. Marys Gas Com
pany. He was always ready to invest
in a safe project it he could see that it
•vould pay a fair percentage and never
took any stock in wild-cat ventures,
knowing how hard he had worked to
save for his old age. Geo. A. Walker
was honorable, just and strict as a
business man and knew how to drive a
good bargain and seldom got caught
by a sharper.
J n 24th, 1904, his wife was called
away and while he greatly missed his
help mate of his long years of toil, he
continued to pay strict attention to af
fairs. Surrounded by a loving daugh
ter and sons, his late years were spent
by daily visits to his friends and many
were the happy hours he passed with
trusted ones.
Deceased leaves a family of six chil
dren, all grown to womanhood and
manhood, viz: Mrs. Stella Sykes,
Buffalo; Mr. \V. S. Walker. Austin;
Mrs Gertrude Egbert, Ithaca, N. Y.;
Mr. J. M. Walker, Scranton; Miss
Grace A., and Geo. A- Jr.) at home.
All were present at the funeral but
Mrs. Egbert.
* olitically Mr. Walker was a Repub
lican and held most of our Borough
ollices in addition to two terms as
County Commissioner, and when he
i died was Ailing the position of Asso-
I ciate Judge with credit.
Religiously he was for many years

. Episcopal Church and contributed to

I community, have only to look into the

THE LAST CHAPTER OK LIFE.
I
When the hour for the funeral ar.
rived the large residence was filled with
relatives and friends called there to
view and pay that last respect due
a friend and citizen. The parlor was
banked with (lowers in great abun
dance, while the body reposed peace
fully upon a handsome couch casket,
beautifully draped by director Laßar.
Immediately upon the arrival of the
Masonic bodies, directors of the Bank
and Gas Company the services com
menced, being conducted by Rev. J.
M. Robertson, Rector of Emmanuel
Episcopal Church, assisted by Rev. O.
S. Met7.lor, of M. E. Church, and Rev.
Robt. McCaslin, of Presbyterian
Church—the former reading the church
services, Rev. Met/.ler the Scriptures
and a prayer by Rev. McCaslin—an

HEV. Mil, HOIIKUTSON'H KEUAKKS .
We regret that want of space forbids
our giving but an abbreviated portion
of his able remarks:
"For we walk by faith, not by Bight."
—II Cor. 5: 7.
j Not two years have passed since this home
witnessed another such gatheringas this. Then
. it was the wife and mother, who had been
brought home stricken unto death, to whom we
paid our last mortal tribute. .Vow the widowed
rather has joinedl her in spirit, and this afternoon
we shall lay lus dust beside liars in the Christian
hope of a joyful resurrection. He who has been
taken away in ripeness of years has been a famil
iar. respected and distinguished figure In our
community for many years; one whose loss is
felt and mourned; one of whose domestic virtues
and public services much might be said; one who
wa ? . ; e , soul of integrity and honor, of justice
and kindness. Very lovable aud companionable
was he as a friend, as all who knew him know.
Mis death makes a void, not only in many circles
or honor and influence, but also in the hearts of
those who knew him, whether old or young. He
was for years a communicant of Emmanuei Par
ish, a member of the Vestry and the Treasurer of
tnelarish. In these relations, as in others, he
loaves a void that is deeply felt.
In the presence of the dead we stand face to
nice With a great mystery, one of those dark, or
? 4 i 4 * bidden. facts of existence which we can
but faintly understand. Beyond the veils of time
and space sight does not penetrate. The other
world is truly called the Unseen. It is by faith
that we know it, not by sight.
The present occasion forces the realization of
this strongly upon us. Yet is it not always true,
ami in all things human, that we walk in part by
faith, and not^ wholly by sight? Faith in some
form enters into all that is most precious and
good and beautiful in life. What we prize above
all earthly good are the ties of love and
friendship. Above all other joys we cherish
those of personal fellowship And yet our
knowledge of one another is mediated through
faith, and not merely through sight. We cannot
see one another's heart and spirit. If we could
see only with our eye-balls and hetir only with
our ear-drums, we never could know one another.
It is the unseen spirit within us that recognizes
the presence of the kindred unseen soirit behind
the form which sight reveals. No mere ph.vsical
demonstration can prove to us the existence of
fellow spirits. "For who among men knoweth
the things of a man. sue the spirit of the mar.
which is within him?" It wire as easy to know-
God through eye ai d our and touch as to believe
in the existence of onr fellows OH physical evi
dence alone. Perh.. Ps when we g:\ze upon the
silent, still forms of tit,- departed, the doubt
may whisper itself to us that the spirits which
once animated those 112 mis has pissed into
nothingness, like the sounds which cease lon ver
when the strings of the instrument have been
snapped. But why should we heed that whisper
of doubt? It never was through mere sight that
we knew the spirit of our departed friend. We
never saw his spirit; i was always through faith
that we knew him. Shall we doubt now that he
livetn simply because we cannot see his soul? It
was only through the spirit within us, only
through faith, that we ever did know him. Shall
the right of faith be denied us now to believe
that apart froir. the body he still lives?
After the large assemblage had taken
a last view of remains of their friend
the funeral cortege silently wended its
way to the "silent city." After re
sponsive reading by the clergymen at
the grave, the Masonic bodies perform
ed their duty and consigned the mortal
remains of Brother Walker to his tomb,
to await the call of the Grand Master
on high.

The Republicans of Cameron county
are to be congratulated over the splen
did victory achieved on Tuesday, elect
ing the s'atc and county ticket by good
majorities, which is very gratifying
when looking around the state. Lit
tle Cameron has remained true to
the principles of Republicanism. The
demand for the election of the three

should have been. Messrs. Lewis,

The People Have Spoken.
A wave of reform has passed over
the country as it has in the past, re
sulting in the defeat of Mr. Plummer
in this state, Gov. Ilerrick in Ohio and
other candidates. Possibly it is for
the best. The people mostly Republi
cans, believed the false reformers .and
did their bidding. When the "lid is
laid bare" the people will see what
dupes they have been. Then Pennsyl
vania will right itself and roll up an
old time Republican majority. The
Republicans will clean house them

Close up the ranks, Republicans.

Russell the Magician".
Ring tricks have always occupied an
important place on the programme of
the great magicians. Russell the Magi
cian, who will appear at opera house
on Tuesday evening, Nov. 14th, the
custom of his illustrious predecessors.
"The Mystery of the Wedding Ring"
is one of his favorite illusions. It is a
combination of all the ring tricks now
being practiced,
Russell borrows a ring from
l a lady in the audience and carries it on
| his magic Wand to a little mortar on
the stage. The magician then pounds
: it into hard shapeless mass which is
| rammed down the barrel of a revolver.
The pistol is shot at a mehogany
cabinet on a stand twenty foot distant.
During this process the owner of rings
usually becomes considerably alarmed
and as the magician seems to have for
gotten the l'ing or is s'ow in proceeding
with his trick, reminds him of the fact
that her jewelry has not been re
turned. Russoll goes to the cabin, t
and unlocking it takes out a series of
boxes, one within the other. In the
last box the ring is found securely tied
to handsame bonquet of roses. This
pretty trick never fails to bring forth
hearty and appreciative applause.
