"WAIT FOR THE WAGONS AND WE'LL
ALL TAKE a RIDE;" AND SLEEP
AS WELL.
(By W. M. Wright.)
NORFOLK, VA.— lftbe question where
shall I sleep while attending the James
town Exposition" has been troubling
any one there is now no use for further
anxiety. If "Necessity is the Mother
of Invention," Genius is the father,
and of him it cannot be said "Every
body works but father." The old man
has been exceedingly busy for many
years and every time the Mother
of Necessity told him that the
"kid" needed anything he at once pro
duced it. He has never been yanked
up in the church or courts for non-sup
port or dereliction of duty.
For some time Old Mother Necessity
has been distressed because Invention
did not provide some means by which
the denizens of this mundane sphere
coatd carry their houses along with
them something after the order of the
tortoise. She finally mentioned it to
Father Genius and ho sat down and
pondered over the problem for a few
minutes and then went out to a manu
facturer of vehicles and gave them a
friendly tip.
The result is that visitors to the
Jamestown Expoosition need have no
further anxiety about where they will
repose at nignt if all the hotels, hoard
ing houses and park benches are full.
They can stand on a corner of the
grounds or some of the streets or
avenues of the grounds for a few min
utes and a hands* me equippage will
drive along. They will hail it and say.
"I wish to retire at some desirable spot
along the water front ou Hampton
Roads aud be left at the Military Cater
ing Company's cafe for breakfast.
They will then step into the vehicle
and the driver will seek the desired
spot; dismount from his seat, touch a
spring and the team w;ll walk away.
He will touch another spring and lo!
and behold, the guests will find them
selves sitting in a cozy little room with
berths on each side, Brussels carpet on
the floor and all other modern conven
iences, figuratively speaking. The
driver will then take the team to an
other like equippage and attach them
to it and set out for another "fare." In
the morning he wilj land them all at
their breakfast rendezvous and collect
fare.
This may be a little over-drawn but
it is virtually descriptive of a vehicle
that is now in use for touring in wagons
for market purposes and various other
uses. It is built with a callapsible top
that in a few minutes can be transform
ed into a market booth with roof and
walls and a stand on which to display
vegetables or other produce, or into a
neat compartment. When assembled
it looks very much like a regular hand
some covered delivery wagon with
side windows, such as you see every
day in cities.

Judge Hall sentenced the following per

DEATH'S DOINGS.
COLEMAN.
MRS. SARAH F. COLEMAN, aged 88
years and three months, passed away—
peacefully slept away—Thursday, Feb.
7th, 1907, at five o'clock, p. m , at the
residence ofher son, Mr. E. G. (Joleman,
West Fourth street. Grandma Cole
man was one of the sweetest characters
it has ever been our good fortune to
know. Her advanced age might, and
usually does, enfeeble one of her age,
but in her case—until the last few
months—she was as spry and jolly as a
young girl, full of fun, witty and en
tertaining. Coming to Emporium
about fourteen years ago she rapidly
became a favorite and every one had a
pleasant word for her. Hor kind and
dutiful son, our esteemed friend, Mr.E.
G. Coleman, was untiring in his efforts
to make her life pleasant and nothing
that money or attention coulrl do to
make her last days comfortable was de
nied(her. GrandmaColeman's husband,
who in his early days was mate to a
ship Captain and cruised upon the
high seas, died about fifteen years ago.
Deceased leaves three children, viz:
Mrs. Coe, Wampsville, N. Y., E. G., at
home and another son, an invalid.
Funeral services were held at the resi
dence Sunday afternoon, Rev. Johnston
pastor of First Presbyterian Church,
officiating. The remains were taken to
Tidioute, Pa., Monday morning and
interred Tuesday, beside her deceased
husband. Mr. Coleman, on account of
illness, was unable to accompany the
remains, but his sister, Master Edward
Coleman and Miss E Marth, of Olean,
attended to the sad duty. At Tidioute
they met hosts of friends who loved
the dear old lady as fondly as did her
Emporium friends.
ROBINSON.
MRS. JANE ROBINSON, aged 6(J years,
one month and 24 days, died at the
family residence West, Fifth street,
Sunday morning, Feb. 10th, 1907, of
pneumonia, after an illness of only a
few days. Mrs. Robinson £Bcotnpan
ied her husband the late Tlios. Robin
son, to Emporium, from New York
city about forty years ago, and has re
sided here ever since, rearing a large
family. Being a lady of more than
average intelligence it was chiefly due
to her good planning and economy
that the family secured an excellent
property. She maintained the respect
of our citizens with whom she lived
these many years.
Mr. and Mrs. Robinson came to Am
erica from the North of Ireland, where
the wife early in life united with the
Episcopal church a d reared her family
in that faith. In : ddition to a large
family of her own he b:is assisted in
caring for her gran ( children. Of the
nine children borr to them, all are
alive but three, and the living uhildren
were in attendance at the funeral, viz:
Mrs. Lizzie Reed, of Johnsonburg, and
John, Andrew, Anson and Thos. of
town. Thechildren, all of {whom were
greatly devoted to their mother, have
lost their best friend and will feel more
keenly each day their loss.
The funeral took place ou Tuesday
afternoon from the old home, at two
o'clock, services being conducted at
Emmannel Episcopal Church, of which
the deceased was a member aud loved
to attend when her domestic duties
permitted.
V
DALPHY.
Albert Dalphy, aged 51 years, six
months and three days, passed over to
the great beyond, Tuesday morning,
after an illness of several years. Mr.
Dalphy, who came here many years
ago from Rutland, Vt., was always,
when able, an industrious man and
good citizen. He leaves a faithful wife
who patiently cared for him during his
long illness. The funeral took place
yesterday afternoon from the family
residence, West Fourth street, Rev.
Clea\er officiating.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1907.
Letter to Tax Payers of Shippen.
EDITOR PRESS:—
Fellow citizens of Shippen! Ido not
feel that I disgraced the public who
elected me in 1906 Supervisor, nor the
man who appointed me Road Master in
1906. I have worked no other man's
team in my name. I will show by my
report only 330 hours for my team and
teamster. While the general funds
lasted, in six months I don't say that
our bill was not big on West Creek.
Two iron bridges were erected and
four stone bridges and iron for another
bridge. It has cost Shippen township
nearly $l5O to pay the Road Master to
meet with the Supervisors. If the law
was enforced to meet twelve times a
year it would have been only half the
price and reduce livery bills one-half.
I asked the President of the Board of
Supervisors why we should meet every
two weeks, when he replied that "they
could not live on their creek without
meeting every two weeks." 1 can
show teams and teamsters for all the
teams I hired and who drove them.
Hit where it may, my January report,
dated Jan,. 20th, 1907, for men and
teams, WJIS $72 25, for filling the Beech
wood bridge approach. Jan. 26th,1907,
the report on main stream was eighty
hoars, for one man and fifty hours for
team, $36 00. lam not in the "ring,"
neither am I a coward.

The Schehlmann Memorial Organ
at College Park, Va.—A Project
Started by the Late Miss Anna
Metzger.
When Miss Anna Metzger was first
called to Randolph-Macon Woman's
College at College Park, Va., her work
was in association with that of the late
Professor Schehlmann, whom at his
death a year or two later she succeeded
as the head of tho musical department.
In her characteristic spirit of generous
appreciation of the work of another,
she started the project of providing an
organ in the new college schapel as a
memorial to I'rofessor Schehlmann
She was not permitted to see the com
pletion of her undertaking, but it is a
source of deep gratification to her
friends to know that the organ has
been installed. It will stand as a
monument to her generous and enthus
iastic spirit; as well as a memorial to
her predecessor.
The following is an extract from a
letter to Mr. George Metzger, Sr., from
Mrs. W. B. Lane, a member of the
faculty at Randolph-Macon, under date
of the 7th inst :
"Last Saturday the V. P. 1.,
Glee Club, under the direction of Mr.
Frank Abbott, gave a concert in the
college chapel for the benefit of the
Schehlmann Memorial Organ, an en
terprise which Miss Metzger launched
last year. She wsuld have been glad
dened to see the fine instrument that
her thoughtfulneß« and resource and
musical magnetism were largely instru
mental in securing for the college, an
it stands in its nave in its new chapel.
That of course was not to be, but I
thought you might be interested to
know of the success cf her project.
And also 1 fee! like telling you of the
profound impression that was made
upon the audience, consisting of town
people and students, when the Glee
Club sang a hymn set to one of Miss
Metzger's own compositious. The tri
bute of silence that was eloquent, and
of tears that would not stop, manifest
ed the double influence of her musical
power and of her beloved memory over
the hearts of the people who knew her
and of those who knew her not. And
I am sure that the public here, as well
as her private friends, who are many,
will not let her memory die easily or
soon among us "
Wanamaker's Home Burned.
Jenkintown,Feb.9 —Lynden hurst, the
handsome country estate of John Wan
ainaker, was completely ruined by fire
last evening. The expensive furnish
ings, with the exception of practically
all of many valuable paintings, were
destroyed. Half a dozen fire companies
were powerless, owing to tho freezing
up of'the water supply. The loss will
exceed $1,000,000 and may reach $1,500,
000. Mi. Wanamaker and family are
in Philadelphia during the winter, and
the country house is in charge of a
caretaker.

Creek school house, Saturday evening,

Mountaineer Minstrels.
The much talked of minstrel enter
tainment advertised for last Friday
evening, was a great success, the opera
house being packed to its capacity,
many being in attendance from other
towns.
PART FIRST.
Interlocutor, Robt. H. Lyons; Tam
bos, Harry Derby, Jay P. Felt, John
Quigley; Bones, Thos. Law, Clyde
Fisher, Emmett C. Tulls, with the fol
lowing array of talent: Jos. Burnside,
Carl Blair, Russell McQuay, Gus.
Whitmer, Frances Quinn, Enoch Buck
lew, Earl Saunders, Clifford Burkhart,
Fr ink Burfleld, Chas Leutze, W. S
Sterner,Ohas. Shives, Clif. S.
and Geo. A. Walker. The circle form
ed in the above order with Prof. A. C.
Brehm's orchestra elevated upon a
platform at the rear of stage called a
hearty reception when the curtain was
"rung" up Tho songs and jokes wero
hugely appreciated and pleased the
vast audience. The boys very credit
ably filled their parts and for almost
thnee hours entertuned far above the
traveling minstrels. They did not run
out of material and had time permitted
could have added many pleasing fea
tures. After the first part Prof. J. W.
Lee, the champion slack wire walker,
entertained the audienceand was good.
The favorite dancers, Jos. Farrell and
Dawson Wright came in for a hearty
encoro, as did Sam Parks with his old
time jig dance. "Lafayette" Leon Felt
and "LaCardo" Quigley in their slight
of hand tricks were clever. Prof.
Buckley in his contortion acts met
with favor, as did Prof. Fisk's saw
wood musical tricks. J. M. Davison
delighted the audience with a cornet
solo and was called to the front twice.
Space will not permit us to particu
larize further, yet we must state that
the success of the entertainment is
largely duo to the persistent and hard
work of M. J Harris, the manager,who
was ably assisted by Mr. Brelim, who
gave much time and declined to accept
one penny for his service!'. The boys
will make tho minstrel feature a per
manent thing, believing tho plan will
please the general public more than
dnn.'-es and entertain all classes. The
net proceeds were $245.33.
Congressman Barclay Banqueted.
While visiting in flarrisburg last
week for the purpose of getting better
acquainted with the Representatives
and Senators of this Congressional dis
trict, Oapt. C. F. Barclay was tendered
a reception and banquet at Senate hotel.
The occasion which took place on
Wednesday evening, of last week, was
highly complimentary to the Congress
man-elect, being attended by all mem
bers in the district, regardless of party.
Speaker F. B. McClain was a guest of
honor. Our genial Representative in
Congress, after March 4th, makes
friends wherever he goes and had the
election been postponed his large and
handsome majority would have been
very materially increased.
Token of Gratitude.
The numerous employeos of the Em
porium Furnace Company overwhelm
ed their employer, Mr. Brady, last Sat
urday, when they presented him with
an expensive and handsome travelling
satchel, including a full set of brushes,
combs, etc., each of sterling silver.
The satchel is made of black Euglish
Walrus leather, gold trimmings. It is
certainly a beauty—too nice to use.
While Mr. Brady is delighted with the
present and appreciates the kindness
of his employees be hesitated to carry
it when he went to New York on Tues
day, fearing the porters would take
him for Harriman and expect a $2 tip.
Charm Lost.
