President Judge.
The Renovo Daily News, while dis
cussing the judicial candidates in this
district makes the following pleasant
reference to Judge Green's candidacy:
"One of the most pleasant and un
ostentations visitors called at our of
fice Saturday afternoon, shook hands
with the "force,'' had a brief and quiet
chat with the editor and departed as
quietly and as simply as he arrived.
The visitor was the Honorable B. W.
Green, president judge of this judicial
district which comprises' the counties
of Clinton, Cameron and Elk.
As is well known Judge Green was
appointed by Governor Pennypacker
to succeed the late lamented Judge
Mayer and during his brief term on
the bench he has proven himself to be
a judge of merit and has won the very
highest esteem of the people generally
and the encomiums of the members of
the bar of the three counties particular
ly. His work thus far has been beyond
criticism and it is hardly any wonder
that Judge Green makes and easily re
trains friends wereever he goes. In
Emporium, his home town, Judge
(Ireeu is held in the highest esteem by
every one."
Hepublican Campaign Text-Book.
A departure has been made in the
Republican Campaign Text-Book just
issued, in that its contents are wholly
devoted to live issues, and these are
treated in the briefest possible way,
yet comprehensively enough to include
all necessary facts and figures.
First, there is a genaral statement of
the issues of 1906, followed by a brief
review ofßepublican legislation in gen- ;
eral and the work of the Fifty-ninth
Congress in particular. The Railrood
Rate Law, Pure Food Law, Free Al
cohol Law, Employers' Liability Law
and the Meat Inspection portion of the
Agricultural Appropriation Law are
given in full, as is Chairman Tawney's
clear explanation of the appropriations.
The Labor question is next fully pre
sented, followed by Representative
Watson's exposition of Anti-Trust
proceedings. About one hundred
pages are given to the Tariff, Agricul
ture and Manufactures, and the tables
showing the various phases of indus
trial activity. Among other subjects
treated under the tariff are:
Protection and Free Trade;
Customs Revenue;
Foreign Commerce
Home Market and Internal Trade;
Wages and Prices;
Export Discounts;
Reciprocity;
Free Hides;
Revision, etc., etc., etc.
Some half hundred tables give official
and authoritive figures down to the
latest possible date. The work of the
President and administration is then
briefly presented, the condition and
status of the Philippines, the Panama
Canal, the Navy, Postal Service, Irri
gation, etc., etc.
The President's letter to Representa
tive Watson concludes the work, which
has a coupious index of over a dozen
pages.
Scattered throughout the book are
quotations from President Roosevelt
and other Republican leaders. Among
these is the extract from Senator Han
na's speech where he used the "stand
pat" expression, it being the only in
stance in the Text Book where the
words "stand pat" are used. A page
is given to Mr. Bryan and his views,
with the comments of the New York
World, A so-called "Prosperity Post
script" is added giving treasury con
ditions, trade reports, etc., down to
August 1.
For the first time in a political cam
paign, the Text Book will have a gen
eral circulation, as together with other
literature, it will be sent on receipt of
one dollar by John C. Eversman, As
istant Treasurer, 1133 Broadway, New
York.
Estimable](Family Leave.
Mr. Theodore Ritchie and his esti
mable family left yesterday for St.

"Si Stebbins" Well Received.
Dan Darleigh's presentation of "Si
Stebbins" with himself in the leading
role, pleased two large audiences at the
Stone, Saturday afternoon aud even
ing. The play is just the same as for
years past, the same old stories, the
same old jokes and the same "Old Si"
Mr. Darleigh's impersonation of "Si"
was good.
Mr. Darleigh was ably assisted
by an adequate company among whom
was his daughter, flazel Darleigh, at
"Scraps" the tramp girl and later as
"Nell".
All the well known scenes from the
one in which Si lays the wager that he,
before he leaves the farm cannot be
hoodwinked, until he wakes up on the
sixth floor of a Boston tenement, minus
his roll and some of his clothes, were
well received. The last aetstraightens
up everything, restores "Si" his money
aud leaves everybody good natured—

Captain Barclay in Town.
Capt. C. F. Barclay, of Sinnamahon
ing, the Republican nominee for Con
gress, accompanied by C. J. Good
nougli, of Emporium, spent a few hours
in Bellefonte between trains on their
return from the Veteran Club picnic at
Hunter's Park Saturday. They took I
an automobile ride to the Bellefonte
trout hatchery which was a point of
greot interest to the Captain, as he is
an anthusiastic angler and can tell fish
stories that "nearly set you crazy."
In the evening a number of people
gathered at the Bush House where an
informal reception was held, and where
they called to renew old acquaintance
and shake hands with our next repre
sentative in Congress from this dis
trict.
Captain Barclay, though an active
participant in the Civil war, is a re
markably well preserved man, and as
his picture which appeared in the Ga
zette a few weeks ago represents him,
he does not look past fifty, which is an
indication of an upright, temperate and
j happy life.—Keystone Gazette.

Letter to J. W. Norris.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: There's twice as much
horse in one horse—it may be a mare—
as there is to two or three others together.
So with paints too. If a painter can
do your job with 10 gallons Devoe tor
850; it'll take 12, 15 or 20 of other
paints; and the cost of a job is about 85 a
gallon, whatever the paint may be.
There are paints adulterated three
quarters—only one quart of paint in a
gallon—he's got to paint four gallons ol
rubbish to get one gallon of .paint. The
worst horse you've got is as good as that
paint; and he'll go as far.
The less-gallons paint is the paint, as
the most-horse is the horse.
Yours truly,

Base Ball.
The Fats and Leans played their an
nual game at Keystone Park laßt
Thursday and the fats were trimmed
to "queen's taste," to the score of
18 to 6 What the fats lacked in runs
they made up in avoirdupois, Geo.
Hacket acting as umpire. While
not being present we are informed that
all his decisions were taken as law.
there being no one present who if he
had any kick, with nerve to tackle
George. It was a' well played game.
Our druggists had quite a run on lini
ment, salve, etc., during the remainder
of the week. Ilaupt says he wasn't
a bit sore but Newton thinks different
and winks the other eye.
Theo. Newton selected a team on
Friday morning and played the second
nine at the pjrk grounds and defeated
the latter by a score of 7to 6. Captain
Newton says its just as easy to have a
winning team as it is a losing one.
The trouble with many a captain is
not able to tell a good thing
when he sees it.
A return game will be played at the
park grounds by the above teams on
Saturday for the ch i npionship of the
county, which prjtiiH?s to be an in
teresting contest.
Our people or those who witnessed
the game of ball between St. Marys
and Emporium nines last Friday
were about thoroughly disgusted with
the sport before the game was finished.
It was a "kick" from start to finish
and a number of persons left the
ground thorougly disgusted before the
game was half ended. The trouble
was always started by the visitors who
seemed to have a "kick" coming at
critical stages only. Whether the
boys were justified in causing this
trouble we are not prepared to say,
but we do know that it is very unpleas
ant for the audience. The playera
should abide by the decisions of the
umpire, who again should be fair and
impartial in his rulings. The position
of an umpire is a very bard one, and no
matter how fair be may be, there ie al
somo one who thinks the otber fellows
are being done up. The game was
won by the borne team by a score of
7to 5. The visitors made all their five
runs in the second on four hits and two
passes, after which Hemphill took their
measure in order, having 13 strikeouts.
The visitors not being able to connect
with his spit ball, in the seventh in
ning put a chemical of some discription
on the ball which we think was a very
unsportsmanlike move—take your
medicine like a gentleman is always
the course of a true sportsman.
•••
The small boys came over from Port
Allegany last Saturday and defeated
our local boys by the score of 13 to 2.
Orvis Hemphill has made a record
the past week he may well be proud of.
Out of four games played he has struck
out 51 busmen and but 17 hits were
made off his delivery. He has also
been in evidence with the stick with a
total uf seven safe hits. Orvis has the
boys going "south" when they come
to the scratch—the best batters go the
same route, it seems to make no differ
ence.
Take Notice.
Geo. J. Laßar has secured a man to
do upholstering and all sort 6 of repair
ing. Please bring on your work and
we will guarantee it to be done prop
erly.
Fun at the Park.

for a prize of $25.00. Be sure you at

Strong Words.
At the Republican formal opening of
the campaign in the Academy of Music,
Philadelphia, Wednesday evening,
Candidate Edwin S. Stuart hit from
the shoulder with these strong works:
I have made no deals or promises
nor has any man or set of men any
right or authority to make deals or
promises for me. If elected Governor
I shall conduct my administration ac
cording to the oath of office and for
the benefit and in the interest of the
only master I recognize, the people of
