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 Children's Christmas Parties" close the | very valuable department of the rnaga- ' zine 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 marriage to Dr. LEO.V REX FELT. Rev. Hunter Watts, of Lancaster, cousin of the bride's father, performed the cere mony, assisted by Rev. McCaslin, using the ring service.

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 ; Vestryman and treasurer of Emmanuel . Episcopal Church and contributed to I the support of all churches. liis fam ! ily always highly respected in this I community, have only to look into the | right direction for consolation and re ' member the unsullied character and | reputation this always busy,thoughtful, ; mild and considerate father has left ! them. 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 especially selected choir composed of Misses Grace McCaslin,Byrde Taggart, Mr. Fred Heilman Mr. A. I). Ericsson. Mrs. Frank Boers at the orgau. 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 gentlemen nominated for County Com missioner—all Republicans—is as it should have been. Messrs. Lewis, Kreider and Bailey .will conduct the affairs of the county in the interest of the tax-payers we firmly believe. Mr. Swope pledges to give his office strict attention.

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 selves, not waiting for Reformer Berry, Close up the ranks, Republicans. The Star Course.

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. WANTED: Representative in own community. $500.00 capital required. Good salary to right party.
