It is only cumu lative evidence that there are enough sober men in the world to do the world's work.

Emporium, Pa., August Ist, 1003 24-tf. WASHINGTON LETTER. [From our Regular Correspondent.] Washington, Aug. 24th, 1907. The news that Secretary of State, Eliliu Root, is at William Muldoon's Sanitarium, near New York, has given rise to a number of wholly unfounded reports to the effect that Mr. Root has suffered a nervous breakdown, has quarrelled with the President, con templates resigning from the cabinet, etc., all of which your correspondent is in a position emphatically to deny. Mr. Root has had no quarrel with the President, and he has no thought of resigning from the cabinet, on the contrary, he expects to start next month for Mexico where ho will be the guest of Presidet Diaz for a short time. Neither is Mr. Root a nervous wreck, although it is a fact that he is worn out with the heavy responsibilities of his high position, and the great amount of detail work which devolves upon him because he has not been given com petent assistants. There is another reason, however, why Mr. Root deemed it wise to spend the few remaining weeks of his vaca tion at Muldoon's, and that is that de spite the fact that he went to his sum mer home at Clinton, N. Y., with the hope of securing complete rest, hardly a day lias passed on which one or more visitors has not arrived from New York. As Mr. Root's place is quite distance from the station, it was neces sary to keep mo«t of these over night, and the Secretary has set far into the night, evening after evening, talking politics, finances, etc., with his New York friends, many of whom were his clients when he practiced his profes sion in New York, and whom he was bound to treat with the utmost cour tesy. Finding his vacation speeding to its close without his having enjoyed the complete rest which he so sorely needed, he determined to retire to Muldoon's and now no friend can get at him without first encountering Mul doon, and even now the ex-prizefighter would not be a pleasant gentleman to tackle. Mr. Root spends much'time in the saddle, practically all his walking hours in the open air, and is thus able to sleep from ten to twelve hours out of the twenty-four. He writes his friends in Washington that he expects to return to Washington rested and re juvenated and ready for the hard winter's work that is ahead of him. Secretary Taft's western trip and the speeches in which he is announcing the platform on which he asks the presidential nomination continue to at tract the attention of the politicians in Washington, and while the Secretary has not made any effort to capture his audiences by bursts of oratory or flights of fancy, and while his speeches have been as free from anything savoring of demxigoguery as is the man himself, it is generally conceeded that he is daily becoming better known and a more difficult candidate for the anti-Roose velt faction to defeat. Mr. Taft has amply demonstrated his adherence to that body of political and economic propositions which are known as the Roosevelt policies; he has also display ed a judicial temperament and a re spect for the constitution which are very attractive to some Republicans who have, unwarrantably, no doubt, feared that President Roosevelt was going too far in his efforts to correct all evils through the federal govern ment. It is generally agreed amoug the politicians that the loyalty of the peo ple to Roosevelt and the desire of many that he should accept a third term are preventing that enthusiasm for other candidates which would be certain if it were accepted as a fact that the President would not accept anotherjnomination. For Mr. Taft the situation has many advantages. For other candidates it is a detriment to their ambitions. It is a safe prediction, however, that when the proper time comes, probably about the end of this year. President Roosevelt will make a final and unequivocal statement com pletely and absolutely eliminating him self from consideration, and when he does so he will contrive in sonn* man ner to let the voters know that he re gards Mr. Taft aa the man most in sympathy with, most loyal to, and most capable of carrying the Roosevelt policies to a successful issue.

"The Seminary Girl." Ben Mulvey, the clever young singer who appears at the Emporium Opera House in"The Seminary Girl" next Wednesday, Sept. 4th, is a boy and has been very successful on the stage. He tells the following rather good one on himself. He was playing some one night stands out west and was invited to a lawn party one afternoon. As he approached the house in question, he espied three little girls, the oldest not over nine, selling lemonade from a big wast tub outside the fence which sepa ated the lawn from the street. As he approached the three children began to clamor: "Buy a glass of lemonade, only five cents," "only five cents a glass, please buy a glass, only "five cents." As Mr. Mulvey was on the "water wagon" high and dry—the lemonade game appealed to him—as he fished out a nickle drank the lemon ade and went into the lawn party the children's thanks ringing in his ears. Returning from the lawn party an hour later he was again accosted by the children with: "Lemonade, only one cent a glass. Please buy another. Reduced prices, only one cent a glass." More to please the children than any thing else, he fished out three pennies and drank three glasses one after the other. Just as he was going he turned to the oldest child and said: I don't understand the reduction in price, my child. How is it you charged me five cents a glass a little while ago when I went in and now on my return it is only one cent a glass?" "Well, sir," said the child, "we don't think the lemonade is quite as good as it was. You see, just after you went away a dog fell in it!" Prices, f1.50, SI.OO, 75c and 25c. Notice to Automobilists.

Mr. Belasco has engaged some of the best obtainable talent for the special companies which he will send to tour the country next season in some of his most noted plays, including "The Rose of the Rancho," "The Girl of the Golden West," "Sweet Kitty Bellairs," and"The Darling of the Gods." All these attractions will appear in this city during the season. A married couple were coming out of the house, he dressed to kill and she with a hairpin in her mouth and doing her best to pull on a pair of refactory gloves. "Why don't you dress in the house!" he growled. "I would as soon see a woman put on her stockings in the street as her gloves." "Most men would," she said sweetly, and then the silence was so intense that you could hear a chocolate drop as they hurried to catch the train. —Commoner and Glassworker. We clip the following from a Niaga ra Falls paper, which refers to Thos. Cummings an Emporium boy who is playing ball at that place: "The Oak dales won the championship of Niaga ra Falls by defeating the Crescents for the third time this season by the score of 6to 1. The feature of the game was the pitching of Cummings for the Oak dales, allowing only one hit in nine in nings and only one base on balls. He had ten strike-outs.

It is getting so that there are but few people who pay any attention to newspaper bills. They seem to think that the sending out of bills is a sort of a health exercise that the publisher goes through, and not because he needs the money. There are some subscrib ers who never allow their subscriptions to run behind, and there are others who never think of paying until they have "been seen." The publisher appre ciates the subscriber who pays up promptly and never waits for a bill to be rendered, and the prompt paying subscriber is the person who enjoys the paper.—Wellsboro Gazette. A number of typhoid fever cases have been reported in Reading re cently, and the Reading Telegrams, re ferring to the matter given an oft-re psated advice by urging all to boil their drinking water, an advice which should be heeded by all in every city or town where typhoid fever which is too often spurned with indifference The telegram says: "Boiling water is fatal to the typhus bacilli. The worst infected water becomes safe after a thorough boiling. To be sure, boiling makes the water taste a bit in sipid, although you won't notice this much if you cool the water after boil ing. But better an insipid taste than a house full of typhoid patients, with risk of death." There is a Dußois man who is just too mean for anything. For some un accountable reason he has been labor ing under the impression that he is "henpecked," and in ordsr to get a little better usage at the hands of his better half he developed a beautiful plan that worked all right. The fel low hired six or eight boys to stand along the walk where he was going to take his wife for a walk the other night, and when he went past, the boys all tipped their hats and said: "Good evening, Mr. Henpeck." It cost him ten cents a piece for the boys, but he says it worked like a charm and the equal rights question is not being discussed in his home any more. Perhaps his wife felt sorry for him.—Dußois Courier. Notice to Contractors.

Accidently Shoots His Playmate. Last Sunday afternoon, about 3:30 o'clock, a number of boyn were playing in Plank Road Hollow, near the home of John Rutz, when a young lad nam ed Albert Zwald, aged 12 years, came among the boys to exhibit his new 22 calibre rifle. Of course all the boys crowded around him to see the gun. Albert was proud of his rifle and was exhibiting its mechanism when he ac cidently discharged it, the ball enter ing young Jacob Rutz, aged eight years, the ball striking his right breast and passed downward towards his stomach. The unfortuuate lad is deaf and dumb and it was not until Dr. De Long arrived upon the scene that the parents knew how seriously he was in jured. The injured boy is in a very serious condition and up to this (Tues day) evening it is hard to tell what the outcome will be. The poor lad who made the awful mistake and wounded, possibly fatally, his little friend, is grief-stricken and deeply de plores the accident. This accident should be another warning to parents who purchase, or allow their children to own or play with fire arms. Hardly a day passes that we do not read of like accidents. LATER. —Dr. H. S. Falk, who has charge of the injured boy, informs the PRESS that, unless something unfor seen sets in, his patient will possibly recover. List of Teachers.

The game of ball played at this place last Saturday between Emporium and Ridgway was an exciting contest from start to finish. It required eleven in nings to decide the game, Emporium winning 5 to 4. The game played here on Tuesday between Emporium and Jobnsonburg was the last game of the season in tri county league, and was without any exceptions, the worst exhibition of the game ever witnessed here. The score wits 16 to 0 in favor of the visitors. Emporium has one game to play with Jobnsonburg yet at that place. The Emporium team will finish in fourth place. Drawing the Jurors for Murder Trial.

A Blatant Demagogue at it Again. Bellefonte Gazette. August 7th, at Whitenight's Grove, in Columbia county, Treasurer Berry made a speech from which we quote as follows: "If you want to have the politics of the State grow better just continue to keep a Democrat in the game. The people of this State have been buncoed to the queen's taste. I have had quite a job on my hands. I have been busy at Harrisburg, I had to be with that kind of a crowd They have had your confidence. You have believed that what they Paid to you was the law and gospel and knowing they had your confidence they have done many things they would not have done under other conditions. "Governor Pennypacker is a good old fellow. He is honest, and I don't believe he has a nickel of the money of which they robbed the State. He be lieved that the worst thing that could happen was the defeat of the Republi can party and so he allowed every thing to be smoothed over. "Governor Stuart and those with him have the same disease. I am a member of the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings: lam the only mech anic on the board and yet when it came to a point the subcommittee and the heads of the various departments bearing the mechanics, I did not even get a look in. The gang did the work. They named the people who should fill these offices and they are the ones who were appointed. They are men with out exception who know nothing of the offices they All. All this is going on under the present administration and its doing its duty in the Capitol steal because it must. With this exception the some old methods are in vogue at Harrisburg. If it had not been for the opening of the lid and the discovery of these facts the Republican party would not have had a candidate for Governor such as Governor Stuart." So far as the fact stated that a fraud was perpetrated in the furnishing of the new Capitol, there seems to he but little doubt. The report of the investi gating Committee in its report shows who were the persons guilty of wrong doing. Berry claims for himself all the honor for "lifting the lid." Let us see. Mr. Berry went into office in May 1906. He admits, he discovered that the State was being defrauded in the furnishing of the Capitol. As a Mem ber of the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings, he, notwithstanding his admitted knowledge of the wrong being done the state, did approve bills, and paid out as Treasurer, large sums of money therefor. He never pretend ed to protest until he started his fog horn, about the forepart of October, in a most extraordinary and sensational manner—purely tor partisan political effect. Had he been honest in what he believed to be a fraud committed against the State, why did he not have the honesty and manhood to publicly protest at once? But he was more de sirous to make political capital that might aid in winning a partisan vic tory. As a political demagogue, he was willing to be a silent partner to the fraud that was being committed under his eyes, and was willing to let the fraudulent action goon it by so doing he could use it to a political ad vantage. He cared more for his party and its success than he did for his in terests of the State and the people. This "Brick-yard-Berry," when prat ling about the short-comings of.otbers and proclaiming his own honesty, ought to be honest enough to explain, to the people why the State deposits were increased in a certain bank several hundred thoimind dollars, and whether I said increase of deposits had anything to do with said bank going upon his bond as Treasurer at what was consid ered as "a mere nominal charge," He might also explain to his hearers, why said bank became the trustees in a certain mortgage for $60,000 on Mr. Berry's old, dilapidated brick plant, stated at that time to be worth from $12,000 to $14,000. Let him tell the truth as to these matters before he boasts so much of his self righteousness and pharissical honesty. Before plucking the mote out of his brother's eye, let him take the beam out of his own eye. To Rent. Office or store. Best location in town. Inquire at this office. NO. 2 8.
