MR. HI HENRY
The Famous Cornet Virtuoso.
Announcement Event of the
Season.
The amusement event of the season
will be the appearance of Hi Henry's j
Big City Minstrels at the Emporium
oper.. nouse, on Wednesday, Feb. 27.
This attraction is one of the largest
and most expensive traveling, i.aving
appeared in all the larger cities east
aud west, the companr numbers nearly
a half hundred people, they seldom
play the smaller cities but occasionally
have a spare date in making their big
jump as is the case here they play a
small city on tho railroad line they
are enroute so they do not have to
transfer their special cars. The com
pany comes enroute to Willlamsport
and will give the same identical per
formance that is seen in any of the
larger ciliea, as they carry two sets of
scenery, one for the smaller houses,
which will bo used here. They will
arrive in their special train of palace
coaches, and give a street parade at
noon, with "Uncle Sam" as a mounted
bugler, and Hi Henry in his new auto
mobile speedster, with their big hand
some St. Bernard dog"Goldie." At 8:15
their curtain will raise and one of the
grandest, most gorgeous fiiat parts
ever seen on any stage; a fanciful pre
sentation of the palace of Aladin from
the Arabian Nights. Tho scene is a
glitter of pearl and gold with prismatic
lights, elegant costumes, twentieth
century commedians, superb cultivated
singers and grand double orchestra, of
feringthe latest ballads and cotnic songs
and bon mots of wit. Get your tickets
at Lloyd's book store.
Railroad Jack.
Prof. Watson, the great pysiologist,
long maintained with Darwin that the
human family had descended from the
monkey, be went further than Darwin
in claiming that our language also
came from the same source In order
to prove his theory, Prof. Watlon or
ganized an expedition which took him
into the heart of tho jungle of Africa,
where he could watch and listen t > the
animals at his leisure. He noticed that
at certain hours of tho day the monkeys
and gorillas would congregate in large
numbers and the chattering that would
take placeamomg them was deafening.
One day in particular there seemed to
be more excitement than usual among
them. The professor thought that at
last his dream was to be realized, and
he thought he could distinguish words
that were intelligible. There was a
momentary lull in the proceedings and
all eyes were centered on a big gorilla
who seemed to be looked upon as a
leader. They listened intently, but the
least interested spector was the pro
fessor. Imagine his astonishment
when these words sang out from the
mouth of the big gorilla. Go aud see

Railroad Jack.
It is an old saying and oft repeated,
"He who laughs last laughs best," it is
a saying which can be applied to most
anything connected with human nature
but the performance of "Railroad Jack"
which will be given at Emporium
Opera House, Feb. 25, it it especially
suited. You have seen plays which
you have enjoyed, plays which have
amused you, but it was left to the man
agement of "Railroad Jack" to present ,
a piece which would give the public
the best laugh. In witnessing a per
formance of "Railroad Jack" tho most
skeptical persons become believers in
real humor and iaugh as they never
laughed before, the most hard hearted
gives way before pathos which cannot
help but appeal to him.
There are not many chances placed
in the way of the theatre-goer to .
view a play which has all the merits of
a teacher, a physician and an outing.
So, as Caesar said, as be was about to
cross the Rubicon, "It's up to you" to
see the greatest play presented in
many years.
Railroad Jack will have but a short
stay, so make the ! e t ol your op[ or
tunities and secure your tickets early
Bathing a Baby.
Many fathers stand aloof from the
common domestic duties, not because
they are so busy or because they are
not willing, but because of ignorance.
How many men are there who would
not. gladly drop their business at any
time and stay home and give the baby
his bath, if they only know how!
Yet in reality it is much simpler than
it seems. Fill the bathtub full of any
good water, first carefully removing all
germs. Put your elbow in occasional
ly to see if it is the right temperature.
If ice forms on your elbow you may
know the water it is to cold. If there
are blisters then it is to warm. Be
moderate in all things.
Take the baby firmly by both feet
and shake him loose from his flannel
moorings, until you begin to see safety
pins ahead. Then remove the safety
pins with gas nippers, and unroll un
til the baby looms into sight.
Now, having put on your rubber
coat, put one hand firmly under the
baby's chest and the other on his back,
and launch him on the still waters.
When he has kicked all the water out
of the bathtub, renew as before.
Be careful, while you are manipulat
ing the baby, to keep him face down.
Otherwise you would not be able to 1
put water anywhere else but in his !
| mouth.—Tom Masson intth em' m March I
Delineator.

"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß.
EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1907.
Washington as a General.
An exceedingly interring article
j by Professor Sloane, of Columbia, ap
j pears in the current number of the
j Century, entitled, "Von Moltke's Esti
[ mate of Washington as a Strategist."
j From Washington's own time there
I lias been a tendency on the part, of
many to depreciate him as a
military leader. The comparative
smallness of the armias engaged in the
Revolutionary campaigns has tended
to make the struggle appear petty in
the eyes of Europeans, and since the
Civil War, in our own eyes as well.
Napoleon, while conceding Washing
ton's skill, spoke of the Revolutionary
struggle as a war between picket lines.
Another circumstance which has mili
tated against Washington's fame as a
general is the fact that he never won a
pitched battle. He was defeated at
Long Island and Brandywine, and fail
ed at Freehold. Still another factor
tending to obscure bis military fame
was his own love of peace and abhor
rence of war. His career was not that
of a military conqueror or of a profes
sional soldier. His fame as patriot and
as Fathei of his country greatly over
shadows his fame as a soldier.
Nevertheless we find so great an
authority as Von Moltke pronouncing
Washington one of the world's very
greatest strategists. His flight through
the Jerseys and across the Delaware,
with the consequent scattering of the
British forces along the line of pursuit
and up and down the Delaware; his
midnight crossing back to Trenton and
surprise of Rahl; his second return to
the Jerseys, drawing Cornwallis down
to the Assunpink, and then by a rapid
nocturnal march surprising and defeat
ing the British at Princeton, thus com
pelling the entire British pursuit to re
tire to the vicinity of New York; all
these according to Von Moltke, were
feats which only a consummate strat
egist could achieve.
It was the opinion of Von Moltke, in
which he is supported by Professor
Sloane, that the victory at Princeton
really determined the success of the
struggle for independence. Professor
Sloane seems to be of the opinion that
the French alliance was not only un
necessary, but actually served to pro
long the war. The heart of England
was never in the attempt to coerce the
Colonies. The attitude of such men as
Chatham and Burke is well known.
Many of the foremost leaders in the
army and navy positively refused to
serve against the Colonies. Desertions
from the British army in America were
frequent. Even Sir William Howe,
whose dilatory movements played into
the hands of Washington, was accused
of being in secret sympathy with the
Americans. Altogether the state of
public sentiment in England was such
that had it not been for the French al
liance, England would probably have
accepted the defeat at Princeton as
final and have conceded the indepen
dence of America early in 1777. But
when once the struggle had become
identified in the British mind with a
war with France, the only result could
be a determination to prolong the fight.
From time immemorial England and
France were traditional enemies, and
the thought of yielding anything at
the dictation of Nick Frog could never
find lodgment in the breast of John
Bull After the American alliance
with France, even Chatham gave his
voice for prolonging the war. When in
1783 England finally conceded the in
dependence of America, it was only
after she had won such successes from
France in other parts of the world as
! to rob Yorktown of its sting as being
| in part a victory of French arms.
American independence was really
| won without the aid of France. Not
Yorktown, but Princeton, was the de
cisive field. The laurels of that bril
liant winter campaign belong to the
brow of Washington alone.

Admitted to Supreme Court.
Fred Arn Johnson, son of Hon. J. C.
Johnson has been admitted to practice
in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
having passed the examination before
the state board of law examiners, the
hardest ordeal for an attorney togo
through. He is possibly the first at
torney from the northern tier counties
to run the gauntlet and has every rea
son to be proud. His tutor who coach
ed him for the examination, in a letter
to Mr. Johnson says:"l take great
pleasure in advising you that notice
was received at my office this a m.,
(Feb. 16th), to the effect that your son,
Mr. Fred A. Johnson, has been success
ful and has passed the law examina
tions held in this city last December.
I congratulate both you and him. I
desire to take this occasion to say that
in ray opinion your son has a good,
solid, substantial understanding of a
great body of the iaw. I admired hia
method of thought greatly and am sure
that it will produce success of a high
order in the profession " Fred is cer
tainly to be congratulated upon the
tight he made to perfect his studies
and will, when he returns home to re
main permanently,which will be short
ly, we feel sure his friends will extend
congratulations. Hon. J. C. Johnson
has been untiring in his effors to fit his
son to follow bis footsteps, is proud of
his son's success, and he has every rea
son to be. The PRESS rejoices when
a Cameron county young man climbs
the ladder of fame and hastens to con
gratulate our young friend.
Fearful Wreck.
NEW YORK, Feb. 18—Thirty persons
wore killed instantly and 150 injured in
a disaster that overtook an electric
train on the Harlem division of the
New York Central at 205 th street and
woodlawn road. Three of the four
passenger coaches were dragged 700
feet on their sides, and the single pas
senger coach that held to the track was
ripped almost through its entire
length by the up turned end of a rail
that cut like a knife.
The three overturned coaches and a
baggage car were entirely demolished.
The speed of the train was so great
that it was impossible to stop alter the
first shock until 1,200 feet had been
covered. Dead and dying were hurled
through windows as the ears were
dragged bumping over the scattered
ties and twisted rails. Two hours after
the wreck three unconscious men were
found in a dark hollow thirty feet from
the track. Mangled bodies and scores
of groaning injured were picked up
along both sides of the track for a dis
tance of almost a quarter of a mile.
One of the Victims.
Moses Fountain, grand-son of Mrs.
Margaret Fountain, of this place, was
one of the victims of the late steamer
accident on Feb. 11th. Young Foun
tain, aged 22 years, was employed on
the steamer Larchmont and swam
ashore at Block Island, where he was
frozen to death. His father found his
remains at Providence, R. 1., and took
them to his home at Farmsville, Va.,
the funeral taking place on Sunday
last Mrs. Moses Johnson, of this
place, attended the funeral, her mother
being too feeble to go.
