COLLINS.
In our last issue we mentioned the
death of J. H. Edgar Collins, formerly
of this county, at St. Vincent's Hospit
al, Cleveland, on March 3rd, aged 48
years. Mr. Collins was a son of the
late Reuben Collins, of Huntley, and
will be pleasantly remembered by many
of our citizens. He left this county
twenty years ago and located at Cleve
land, being employed on the Couneaut
and Bellevue Division of Nickle Plate
R. R., as Supervisory builderof bridges.
While superintending some work he
was stricken on the head by a heavy
timber, the accident taking place Jan.
23rd, causing an abscess to form at the
base of the brain. His funeral was j
held from his late residence, being at- i
tended by his family and relatives.
Miss Mattie Collins, Supt. of Cameron j
county schools, was faithful in her at- j
tendance upon her injured brother and j
spent moat of her time at his side from
the time of his accident.
Our Huntley correspondent, "J. P.
S." sends us the following:
Mr. Collins was born in Driftwood,
Jan. 29, 1859, and for some years work
ed as bridge carpenter on the P. & E.
division of the P. R. R., later he ac
cepted a position with the Nickle Plate
railroad at Cleveland, and by faithful
service he reached the prominent posi
tion which he held to the ttime of his
death. Mr. Collins was well known
and highly respected throughout Cam
eron county, as he was also at his late
residence, and his loss will be deeply
felt. He is survived by a widow and
two daughters, also by one sister, Miss
Mattie M. Collins, of Emporium, coun
ty superintendent of schools, two
brothers, B. J. Collins, a prominent
lumberman of Huntley, and Asa C.
Collins, of Conneaut, 0., an engineer
on the Nickel Plate railroad. The fun
eral was held at the family residence,
West Hudson street, Cleveland, Tues
day, March sth. The remains were
interred in Lakeview cemetery. The
floral offerings from the officials and
employees of the Nickle Plate were
beautiful. The bereaved relatives
have the sympathy of the entire com
munity.
Deceased was a member of K. (). T.
M., and the Forresters.
Home-Made Catarrh Cure.
Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy of its kind known. The
name "Cyclone" is given to the follow
ing prescription, it is supposed be
cause of its promptness in driving from
the blood and system every vestige of
catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and
dread disease,no matter where located.
To prepare the mixture: Get from any
good pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid
fix* met Dandelion, one ounce Com
pound Kargon and three ounces Com
poui;u byrup Sarsaparilla. Shake well
and use in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime.
This is a harmless, inexpensive mix
t ure, which has a peculiar action upon
the siminative tissues of the Kidneys
assisting them to filter and strain from
the blood and system all catarrhal
poisons, which, if not eradicated, are
absorbed by the mucous membrane,
and an open sore or catarrh is the re
sult
Prepare some and try it, as it is the
prescription of an eminent catarrh spe
cialist of national reputation.

The Garnishment Bill.
Chas. Diehl, Secretary of the Camer
on county business men's association
attended the meeting at Harrisburg
last Thursday, comprising a large num
ber of business men from all sections
of the state. The delegates appeared
before the House of Reprcsenatives
Judiciary General Committee, urging
the passage of the Garnishment Bill,
presented by the retail dealers of the
state. Mr. H. D. Burlingame of
Altoona (tormerly a resident and na
tive of Cameron county) made the
leading address on behalf of the asso
ciation. We are permitted to publish
Mr. B's addres«, viz:
1 represent the Merchants and Business Men's
Association of the City of Altoona. Our citizens
are represented in vour honorable bodybyW.H.
Irwin. Our city has about 75,000 population
consisting largely of mechanics and laborers in
the employ of the Penna. K. R. They receive
thtir pay once a month. As the average laborer
spends his money soon after receiving it these
pay-days being so tar apart there is a big de
mand for credit.
These cognitions have forced us to the much
deserved, but most unenviable reputation, of
being a great credit town. Where there is much
credit given in business there is correspondingly
much loss. The losses of the retail merchants of
our city by dishonest customers alone is estimat
ed at $. r >o,ooo per yea r.
The loss is not only a direct loss to the mer
chant but a loss to the honest laborer who pays
his bills. The merchant who sells for cash un
dersells the merchant who gives credit, hence
the laborer who has to.have credit is obliged to
pay more tor his goods to in part repay the losses
oi the merchant through dishonest customers.
You might work out a theory that the credit
merchaut gets enough more than the cash mer
chant for his goods to pay for the losses suetatu
ed by the credit system.
It is a condition not a theory that confronts us
but if this theory be true then the honest wage
earner has to pay the entire amount lost by
merchants in their deakngs with his dishonest
co-worker. Human nature Issaid to be the same
the world over.
Thelawsot cause an effect, supply and de
mand, of nature, and of health, are the same,
and bring he name results in Maine as in Cali
fornia, in Ohio as in Pennsylvania.
uarnishee laws that have produced good re
sults in other states will bring good results in
Peuna. The secretary of the Ohio State Board
of Commerce, in a speech before the Penua.
State Board of Trade in this city, a lew months
ago, said it was estimated that a million dollars
had been saved to merchants in hi* slate since
the passage of the garnishee bill. This bill toe
are asking you to consider and make, a laic. It is
intended to protect the merchant,
men honest, and not cripple the wage earner in
supporting himself and family. The moral effect
as has oeen proven in Ohio will be greater than
the amount of collections to be computed in dol
lars and cents.
With such a law upon our statue books employ
ers will insist upon tneir employees paying their
honest debts rather than be annoyed by attach
ment proceeding. Wage earners will, at least,
arrange to pay the small amount of 10 per cent,
on their obligations rather than t«> bear the extra
expense of legal proceeding and the personal em
barrassment caused by the same.
A correspondent to tbe tirucery World lias this
to say of a similar law which wu- recently enact
ed in yew York Stale:
"(irocers and market men have invoked the
garnishee law against so many employees in the
various ci'.y departments of New York and
Brooklyn that Comptroller Aletz is losing pat
ience with the "dead beats," as he describes the
delinquent debtors, lie has accordingly seut a
' circular letter to departments calling their atten
tion to the subject. He says that the extra work
of making deuuetions from the salaries of the
employees in order to satisfy the claims ot the
tradesmen is adding unduly to the burdens of the
finance department and he ask seuch department
head to warn employees to pay up or run the risk
ol losing their joos.
Comptroller Met/, is a man of a determined
character and is noted for the vigor with which
he has attacked a number of abuses in municipa
business. The way that the garnishee law oper
ates iu this case bears out the prediction of
prominent grocers, made when th#*act was pass
ed. Since the law has gone into effect it has
been said that its greatest benefits are in its
deterrent effects because employees are not like
ly to try to beat the grocer if they know that
their employer does not like to be forced into the
position of a collection agency."
All merchants are resonable and considerate.
Competition in -business alone ; s a sufficient
guarantee to the unfortunate tbr Vy will not
be oppressed by such a law. * merchant's
success depends upon fair tr to his cus
tomers. The Penna. Stat ,'„fTrade, The
State Retail Merchants .ation, every com
mercial organization *e state, every merch
ant, every honest r sarner demands this law
and are represente . oefore you to-day. Is there
a single reason why you should not make a
favorable report upon this bill and give it your
active support until it is made a law?

The Value of Courtship.
In the latest number of one of the
magazines published by the University
of Chicago Presa there is a valuable
discussion of social duties relating to
the family. Speaking of the value of
courtship the writer says: "Courtship
is made all the more frivolous by the j
current mode of speaking and thinking
of divorce. If marriage can be lightly |
dissolved, then a mistake in selecting j
a wife or accepting a husband, it is j
imagined, will not prove very serious.
But a courtship which does not mean
fidelity for life is like a rose with a j
worm eating out its heart like a tree j
growing in scant soil. The very idea i
of divorce, covert under all the protes- i
tations of undying devotion, and only i
endangers the stability of marriage, ;
but degrades courtship itself and tt rns :
the solemn vows of lovers into a heart- I
less hypocrisy. A tacit lie lurks in
every word of affection, and robs the
happiest and sweetest moment of all
the fresh bloom of sentiment. The very
phrase "trial marriages," vecently
made popular, is rank poison. Mar
riage of criminals are all "trial mar
riages," as those of brutes and savages
are. Even a hint of descending to
those nether regions for a rule of lite is
a disgrace and degradation.
"In the stage of courtship wise and
good young women have great educa
tional power. Let us have one genera
tion of young women sensible and self
possessed enough to think and to re
ject from all friendly companionship
young men who are intemperate, un
clean, * * * profane, course; and the
next generation, if not so numerous,
would reflect more luster on the re
public. The woman who marries a
man to reform him has taken a viper to
warm at her heart. The son of a mil
lionaire is likely to imagine that he
need not be virtuous because he can
gain the hand of a good woman on ac
count of his riches. Tho divorce courts
are witnesses of tragedies arising from
such blunders on both sides. Alimony
is a poor substitute for the happiness
of a rational marriage."

Odd Fellows Reception.
There was a large gathering of Odd
Fellows in Emporium last Thursday
evening, the occasion being a visita
tion from the Grand Encampment of
ficers, who came to Emporium while
making a tour of the state. The fra- ;
ternity turned out in good numbers
and cordially greeted the Grand Patri- !
arch, Philip J. Fetter, Grand Warden, ■
Fred C. Hanyen and Grand Sentinel
Wm. Cowles, all of Scranton. The
evening was pleasantly passed, the
visiting Patriarchs having joined, in
fact took charge of and conferred the
lioyal Purple Degree in a highly pleas
ing manner. After lodge adjourned
(10:30) all repaired to banquet room of
Presbyterian church, where a delight
ful banquet was served by the ladies of
the church. Around the several tables
good fellowship was kept up until after
mid-night, the toosts being many and
pertinent to the occasion. Odd Fellow
ship, now numbering the largest in
membership in the United States, con
tinues to grow, doing much good with
the millions of dollars they dispense
every year.
A delegation from Driftwood and
Sinnamahoning lodges attended, re

"A Thoroughbred Tramp."
A good laughing performance may
be expected at the Emporium Opera
House, Friday, March 15, on the pre
sentation of Elmer Walters' successful
western play "A Thoroughbred
Tramp". This piece seems to have
sufficient strength to live indefinitely.
The play has been seen again and again
only to find each succeeding season
more prosperous. To Rush Thompson
the tramp portrays a ruined jealous
husband who has misjudged the actions
of wife in her attempt to save his sister.
The piece contains a pleasing hero and
heroine, the ever scheming gambler
villian a chick soubrette and a popular
Dutch Character; the scenery of which
there promises to be an abundance. It
is said the scenery adds much to the
success of ths play.
Teachers' Local Institute.
The Local Institute held in this place on Fri.
day and Saturday, March Ist and 2nd,
was ftill of interest as well as profit to all who'
attended. The Friday evening session was very
well attended. The speakers for the evening
were Mr. W. H. Howard. Prof. J, J. Lynch, of
St. Marys and Prof. Geo. E. Zerfoss, of Couders
port. Mr. Howard spoke of the unwise expendi
ture of the state funds, and of the necessity of
having our representatives men of strong char,
acters and trained intellect. He said that edu
cation, as the means of producing this kind of
men, ought to be our first consideration.
Mr. Lynch talked on "Applied Psychology."
This was a most interesting talk, especially to the
teachers present, because now even the least en.
lighted teacher recognized the fact the principles
of Psychology must form the basis of successful
teaching.
Mi*. Zerfoss' talk on"The Home as a Factor in
Education" was of interest to both teachers and
parents.
Our Saturday morning the first subject for dis.
cushion was that ot "Self-Government." The
discussion was opened by Miss Hoflman of the
hmporium schools. Miss Hoffman brought out
and emphasized the fact that self-control is a
first essential to the control of others. Our aim,
she said, is to control without repressing, to lead
the pupils ense of right and wrong to its high
est development. The subject was then discus.
sed informally by other mombers of the institute
I The following ideas were suggested: The aim ot
; all educaflou is to teach self-control and self-con.
fidence. The best way to obtain the results we
wish, iu this line as in any other is to encourage,
suggest and expect the very best that is in the
pupii.
The second subject "Keeping Pupils Busy" was
discussed by Mr. R. R. Williams, of Driftwood,
j and others. During this discussion several very
! interesting ideas were brought out and treated
I with; the subject of manuel training, that is
j raffia weaving and paperfolding, in the primary
department; the Batavia system of supervision
and teaching; and a plan for having an extra
; class room where backward pupils might be sent
■ for special help.
I The subject of "Physical Education" was very
fully discussed and illustrated with a class of
little folks, Miss Heilman.
Miss McCloskey, ot Driftwood, then read a very
interesting paper on "Grumblers in School
Work." These grumblers she divided into three
: classes; the parent grumbler, the pupilgrumbler,
and the teacher grumbler. Thes first usually
the result of misunderstanding is one of the
ever present trials of a teacher which must be
endured as gracefully as possible; tho second;
I often an outgrowth of the first may and ought to
: be cured; the last presents a more formidable
preblem. A teacher, who is a grumoler may
sometimes cure herself. If this impossible she
should choose some other profession.
Miss Brooks read an excellent paper on "Char,
acter Building."
rhe Institute then closed wita an informal
discussion on "Th u Winning Qualties of a Good
Teacher." It may be interestieg to not some of
these as they were suggested:
Good Looks, A Good Voice, Tact, Neatness. A
Good Digestion, Ability, Preparation, Truthful
ness, Good Sense, Profession of Spirit, Loyalty,
Politeness, Confidence, High Ideals.
The entertainment consisting of music and
recitations, for both seasons, was furnished by
High School pupils.
