SEGER BRO'S, OF NEW YORK
MAKE THIS STARTLING
OFFER.
Emporium Business Men Hustlers
in New York.
We will give to every cash purchaser
of our celebrated Becker Bro's piano a
free trip to New York City and return,
including board for live days outing;
or we will give a free trip and return
to Jamestown Exposition including
live days board at one of the principal
hotels. This we cau safely say is the
greatest offer ever made in any mercan
tile business. You secure not only a
vacation for yourself but you get one
of the finest toned instruments that it
is possible to buy at any price, and this
at the same cash figure we sell all the
year around. Our reason for making
this extraordinary offer is simply this:
The weather has been very unreason
able, hundreds of orders that the
manufacturers received in the winter
and and early spring having been can
celled. They, the manufacturers, are
in consequence over stocked and must
dispose of them at once and at a great
loss. We assure you three monthe
from now the piano cannot be sold at
this figure. We sell direct from the
actory and should you decide to visit
New York, we will take pleasure in
showing you through this immense
concern and give you an opportunity
of seeing this piano, as it is made, step
by step, from the first rough board to
its finished state. Catalogs, containing j
all the different styles and cuts of the
Becker Bro's pianos will be gladly
mailed to you upon application. Our
price for the piano, with either of above
propositions included, is §275.00 cash
for the large size Becker Piano and
§250.00 cash for the small size. This is
a genuine offer and no fake, holds
good until Sept. Ist. Our motto is :
Lead and let others follow; quick sales
and small profits. Cut this out and
communicate with us at once for
further particulars.
Respectfully,

St. Marys was easy picking for the
home team last Saturday. Although
St. Marys had an aggregation com
posed of practically all the left handed
"hard hitters" in Elk county they were
able to get but four hits off Gilbert,
whose pitching and all round work
was the feature of the game. With
Gilberf and Hemphill on the pitching |
staff, and Eschbaugh and Liston be- !
hind the sla.b, Emporium has as strong
batteries as can be found in the ama
teur ranks. Manager Falk in procur
ing Gilbert has greatly strengthened
the home team and it is expected the
boys will take a brace and give us the
real article. The St. Marys boys play
ed a very loose fielding game and the
locals profited by their errors, while on
the other hand the errors Emporium
made were not costly.

Three Hundred Years Ago. j
! The Jamestown Ter-centenary is 1
j meant to recall to us something of the
' beginnings of our great and mighty
| nation. This commemoration fixes at
tention neither upon the past alone
nor upon the present alone, but upon
the past as related to the present and
the present as related to the past, in
the past we see the germ and founda
tion of the present, and in the present
we see the fulfilment and vindication
of the past.
In 1607 we see the beginning of re
ligious, as well as of commercial and
industrial life, in America. The fol
lowing extract from Captain John
Smith's "True Relation and Generall
Historie" is of timely interest, inas
j much as the first service of the Holy
| Communion was held at Jamestown
on the Third Sunday after Trinity,
June 21, 1607.
We did hang an awning (which is
an old sailej to three or four trees to
shaden us from the sunne, our walls
were rales of wood, our seats unhewed
trees till we cut planks; our pulpit a
bar of wood nailed to two neighboring
trees. This was our church till wee
built a homely thing like a barne, set
upon crotchets, covered with rafts,
sedge and eprth, so was also the walls;
! the best of our houses were of the like
enriousity; but for the most part farre
i much worse workmanship, that could
| neither well defend from wind nor
' raine. We had daily common prayer
| morning and evening, every Sunday
| two sermons, and every three months
; the Holy Communion, till our minister
j [ the Rev. Robert Hunt] died; but our
' prayers daily, with a homily on Sun-
I daies, we continued two or three years
; after, till more preachers came."

A Church Event.
NORTHERN CONVOCATION MEETING AT I
CHRIST CHURCH PARISH HOUSE
Clergymen and laymen of the north- j
em convocation of the diocese of Pitts- ■
burg met for conference at Christ
church parish house yesterday after-,
noon. There were present: The Rt 112
Rev. Cortlandt Whitehead, I). D., Bis
hop of Pittsburg; the Rev. Drs. Bento n
of Foxburg, and Conant, of Waterford,
the Rev. Messrs. Edwards, of Mead
ville; Gibson, of Port Allegany ; Hills, j
oi Oil City; Hunter, of St. Mary's; Izon,
of Greenville; John, of Clearfield; j
Morgan, of Titusville; Robertson, of
Emporium and Van Dyke, of Kane, '
and 24 laymen, representing the 1
parishes in Clearfield, Erie, Greene- j
ville, Kane, Mcadville and Oil City.
The guests, together with the rector
and representative laymen of Christ ]
church, were sumptuously entertained
at luncheon in the assembly hall of the
parish house by ladies of the parish, un
der the leadership of Mrs. Frederick S.
Bates. The American flag was the
chief table decoration, and flags adorn
ed the walls. The bishop made grace
ful acknowledgment of the ladies
hospitality.
After devotions the bishop stated the
action of the recent diocesan conven
tion, which authorized the appoint
ment of an archdeacon for work in the
northern convocation exclusively.
Tho following executive committee
was thereupon elected: The Rev.
Messrs. Algner, of Franklin; Hills, of
Oil City, and McGann, of Erie; and
Messrs. Brockway, of Warren; Dick, of
Meadville; Howard, of Emporium, and
Ohl, of New Castle. This community
was authorized to receive all sugges
tions regarding the new archdeacon,
and to present a nominee to the bishop
for appointment. To reorganize the
convocation as a missionary body, the
following were appointed a committee
on by-laws: The Rev. Messrs. Robert
son, of Emporium; Morgan, of Titus
ville, and Jones, of Warren; and
Messrs Mullins, of Franklin, and Earp,
lof Oil City. The bishop announced
j that, after such reorganization, he
would place the nominations of inis
: sionaries and the apportionment, of
i stipends in the hands of convocation.
| Additional subscriptions increased the
! fund for the new archdeacon's work to
| §2,860. It was proposed that the o»n-
I vocation receive quarterly reports
l from the archdeacon and the several
I missionaries.
With a large map of the diocese be
fore him, the bishop then spoke of the
missionary work in detail, and interest
ing additions were made by Mr. Turner
W. Shaeklett, of Erie, the treasurer for
diocesan missions A general discus
sion followed, in which many clergy
men and laymen took part. Rev. John
DOWH Hills made an earnest plea for
the more extended work of lay-readers
in small places, instancing tbe great
work done by the laymen's league of
Pittsburg, and the like work done in
McKeesport and Oil City, with laymen
caring for services in outlying towns
under clergymen's direction.
The executive committee, to which
was entrusted the nomination of an
archdeacon; is to meet at once, and it
is expected to have the man in the
field in the early autumn.
The meeting was a great success so
cially, as well in its work, and the
members of Christ church were lavish
in their hospitality to the visitors.—

Veto.
Governor Stuart on Monday vetoed
the bill pensioning soldiers of the civil
war who served in Pennsylvania regi
ments and are now resident ofthe state.
The chief reasons for vetoing the bill
are that it is so crude in form and bears
evidence of having been passed with
out mature deliberation and were it to
become a law it would be necessary to
reduce the appropriations to the state's
public and private charities.

an ordinary kindergarten, but one
which has for its distinctive aim the
imparting of religions instruction
through the medium of Bible stories,
hymns, etc. Kindergarten methods
and many of the usual kindergarten
exercises are employed. It is substan
tially a modern progressive primary
Sunday school, with this difference and
advantage, that it is held on five days
of the week instead of one. The term

JWASIIINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.]
Washington, June Bth, 1907.
The last days of the President before
leaving for his summer vacation at
Oyster Bay are being spent in arrang
ing for the trust prosecutions that it is
confidently believed will be under
taken by the Department of Justice.
The evening of the last cabinet day in
Washington was the occasion of a
notable gathering of "trust busters" at
the White House. There were most of
the members of the cabinet, Chairman
Knapp of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, representatives of the De
partment of Justice, and some of the
special attorneys of the government
engaged in the corporation investiga
tions. The object of the gathering was
to settle on the policy of the adminis
tration as to prosecutions so as to leave
the President as free as possible from
discussions of this sort during the
summer.
The government has gathered a mass
of information on which it may act,
but there is more in the question than
the simple one of whether or not a
conviction can be secured in any parti
cular case. There is the wider one of
policy. The country has been riding
on a wave of prosperity, they have
been immense crops and great busi
ness expansion. The repeated revela
tions of corruption in financial life and
the threat that the law would be en
forced and a number of captains of in
dustry putin jail, has stirred up the
corporations so that they are threaten
ing to "shut off the heat" as it were,
by suspending railroad improvements,
closing down factories, and laying off
men. Just with these moves there
comes the prospect of a bad crop year.
Repeated raids in the stock market
have driven securities down to a low
point and while the shrinkage in paper
values has not effected the real values
of tangible assets, it has made money
tigiier for capital is notoriously timid,
and now should there come a deter
mined raid from the White House
against the pirate captains of industry,
values would go tumbling again and
everything would be just right for the
financial panic that pessimists have so
long said was over due.
It is this ticklish state of affairs on
the brink of an election that is making
the administration hesitate as to
the wisest course to take. There
is no question that the government
could put a number of eminent finan
ciers in jail if it were determined to do
so. There is little question too that
such drastic action would be followed
by profound industrial depression, and
then the money world would be able
to chuckle and say, "Now see what
you've dene." Therefore it is likely
that the Department of Justice will be
cautioned to move very carefully in its
prosecutions and an attempt will be
made to punish the wrongdoers with
out hurting some of the other combina
tions that have been equally illegal but
perhaps not so harmful as the chief of
fenders.
The President has always taken a
great interest in rifle shooting, and it
is perhaps only natural that he has be
come a life member of the National
Rifle Association. The aim of this As
sociation is to promote practice with
the service rifle among civilians who
do not want to spare the time togo in
to the National Guard. Under rules
recently issued by the War Depart
ment, any twenty men can form a rifle
club and buy service rifles and am
munition from the government and be
given the privilege of the nearest gov
ernment or national guard rifle range,
that is of course, if they have not a
range of their own. The President has
been conferring with Gen. Drain, the
president of the association, and he
hopes to get authority from the com
ing congress to issue rilies of this sort
free of charge to any rifle club.3 affiliat
ed with the National Association. It is
believed in this way that the average
of markmanship among civilians
be greatly raised and if the time ever
comes when we are confronted with
another war, the volunteers will be
familiar with the use of the service rifle
before they are enlisted.

The G. A. R.
By Rev. S. A. Brace.
In April eighteen sixty-one. ,
Fort Sumpter heard the rebel gun;
And from that cannon's blazing month,
, Secession thundered through the south.
I It echoed back from Tennessee;
It shook the land of liberty.
And, in the old dominion slate,
Rank traitors did confederate,
Secession's ordinauce they drew;
They pierced the Union's vitals through.
They trampled on our sacred stars;
They hoisted up the rebel bars.
Disgusted with the mad alfray.
Our eagle screamed and soared away,
And over North and Eastaud West,
He circled wide nor sought for rest.
Until he saw the G. A. R„
Equipped and marching onto war.
The awful cloud of civil war.
Burst o'r our land; we felt its jar.
As tidings came from many a plain,
Strewn with the many thousands slain,
Such tidings came from Malvern Hill,
And Iron-, the bloody Chancellorsville.
But Lee's great army met stern fate,
Up in the rocked ribbed Keystone state.
For never did the burning sun.
From his high place in heaven, look down.
Upon a fiercer field of strife,
I Or greater loss in human life.
■
Four million slaves the war made free.
And Lincoln sighed their liberty.
Four million chains of bondage fell,
Because of Union shot and shell,
While Sherman marched from Tennessee,
Clear down through Georgieto the sea.
And Grant, with his unflinching will,
And dashing dauntless little Phil,
And Farragut with man of war,
Hancock and Mead and countless more-
Each served his county in the strife,
And helped to save the country's life.
From lakes to gulf we look to-day;
The blue is mingled with the gray;
The Johnny clasps the Yankee's hand;
Our Flag is loved o'r all the ladd.
Shoulder to shoulder now we see
A Dewey and a Fitzhugh Lee.
Oh! how the fleeting years have sped,
The leaders of that war are dead,
Lincoln and Davis, Grant and Lee,
Have passed into eternity.
Comrades are falling one by one;
The last one's work will soon be done.
God bless the few who still remain!
Nor will we e'er forget the slain,
The noble boys who fought and fell,
Beneath the flag they loved so well,
Peace to the Veterans of the war:
God's blessing on the G. A. R.
