There is something in the production of "My Wife's Family," a musical cjmedy in three acts, by Stephens & Linton, which commends itself strong ly to amusement lovers. It is just a jolly bit of tom-foolery. It is never loud, never vulgar, always refined, and nsver fails to send away a well satis fied audience at the close of the per formance. There are three hours of music, song and drollery, with never a minute that is slow or dull. It is one round of jollity from the riso to the fall of the curtain. The comedians are exceedingly funny, the ladies are decidely pretty and vivacious, and the songs and music are catchy. Striking and effective costumes, Rtage pictures that please the eye, and snatches of wit that you laugh in spite of yourself. The company is made up of well known people?, especially engaged for the parts portrayed. At Emporium Opera House, Friday evening, Feb. 21. "My Wife's Family." "Smile On Me" sung in "My Wife's Family," a clover musical comedy suc cess, which will be seen at the Empori um Opera House on Friday evening, Feb. 21st, is one of the big hits of the season. It is one of the catchiest melodies written in recent years ttnd has a swing to it that sets everybody keeping time to the music, and hum ming and whistling it for days after wards, Sinnamahoning Revival. In the Methodist Episcopal Church at Sinnamahoning- the revival con tinues with unabated interest. Fifty one have been converted at the alter, and on Sunday night, at a special jubi lee service Rev.

Pennsylvanians at Spokane, SPOKANE, WASH., Feb. 10th.—Native born and for more than 10 years resi dents of the Keystone State, now liv ing in Spokane, organized the Pennsyl vania Society at a largely attended meeting in the assembly hall of the chamber of commerce, the evening of Jan. *29. These officers, which also constitute the executive committee, were named to have charge of affairs until the annual meeting in May: President, William If. Acuff, Mont gomery county; firat vice president, Alexander M. Lupfer, Perry county; second vice president, J. Grier Long, Westmoreland county; third vice presi dent, Thomas H. Brewer, Jefferson county; fourth vice president, Fred P. Greene, Venango county; secretary, George B. T) rentier, Montgomery county; treasurer, W. R. Cooley, Chester county. Eighty-two names, representing practically every county in Pennsyl vania were enrolled,and it was decided to invite all former residents of the state, of which there are -100 in Spo kane, to join the society at the dinner to be given one evening tlie last week iu February. The object of the society is the social, moral and commercial betterment of the members and to keep alive the spirit of the home state. One of the charter members is "Philadel phia Tom" Smith, who holds the rec ord of having served more years con tinuously as a fireman and policeman than any man 0111 he continent, lie is (57 years of age and has been in service since 1860, when he was a member of the fire brigade in Philadelphia. The Kind of Men to Send to the Legislature. Speaker McClain of the present House of Representatives spoke at the Lincoln Day Banquet at Williamsport, Pa., on the subject of high grade citi zenship and the independence of the last Legislature, and in regard to the next Legislature said the following: ' The people cf Pennsylvania should send men to the Legislature of 1909 who will stand for right and not be in fluenced by promise of favor or fear of displeasure, either political or corpor ate. How they will vote for United States Senator or whether they are for or against local option should not be the only measurement of qualification. Other questions of perhaps equal im portance to all the people will present themselves. Send men who will not sail with the popular breeze when they know it is blowing in the wrong direc tion; send men of honor, men of intel ligence, men of courage, men with business ability, men with opinions and a will, and the result will be that the policies in legislation inaugurated at the session of 1907 will be con tinued." Public School Notes. The Emporium Local Institute will bo held 011 March 20 and 21. Hon. S. B. Elliott has been engaged to lecture on Forestry at the evening session. A literary society has been organized by the students of the High School. The meetings are held on alternate Friday afternoons beginning about 2:15. Patrons and friends of the school are invited. The next meeting is on Friday afternoon, Feb. 21st. The pupils ot Miss Barker's school have invested their money obtained as a prize for selling the most tickets to the lecture by Mr. Hartman in books, which they have added to the East Ward Library. Could not more of the parents find the time to visit the schools? Have you visited your children's schools and become acquainted with their teachers?

Washington Mason, of Sterling Run, who has been critically ill for the past five weeks, is slightly improved at this writing. Dr. Wilson, of St Marys is attending him.

The residents of this part of the state j will be interested in the call for nurses issued by one of the largest and most I famous schools for nurses in the world ! the Philadelphia School for Nurses, | 2219 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Good, honest, ambitious American , girls, whether rich or poor, cannot do better than to take up the finest pro fession now open to women—trained nursing. Ihe trained nurse occupies an unique position among business women. Her salary is approached by that of very few of her sister-workers in other lines of etfort, she is indepen dent and receives great consideration and respect. The profession isTar from being over crowded, that it is an important ques tion among physicians how the defic iency may be made up, since no school is of sufficient capacity to meet the need. The nearest approach to a solu tion has been found by the Philadel phia School for Nurses. A general en dowment enables the school to enlarge its classes very greatly and to offer a large number of free scholarships to suitable applicants. It is now desired to reach the right class of young woman in small towns and countryriis tricts, that its classed for the coming year may be recruited from them. Several hundred students are now re ceiving instruction, a large k class was graduated in June, and another in December. These young women are immediately employed, the demand for their services far exceeding the supply. There are graduates in near ly every state of the Union, and in all civilized countries there are a number of representatives. In every mission lield as well as their home communit ies, they are winning a warm place in the hearts of the people by earnest and unselfish service to their fellow beings. Important positions in large institu tions are also held by them with the greatest success. One graduate ex pressed the feeling of many when she said: "I shall never cease to be grate ful to the school the greatest blessings that have come into my life." Classes are now forming in several of the courses of the school, and appli cations should be made promptly in order to secure early admittance. Full information will be sent upon request.

A Leap Year Ball was given by the young ladies of town, at the Theatori um, on St. Valentine's Eve., to the young men. A programme of twenty two dances was rendered, which was enjoyed by about forty couples, and in which the ladies got up courage enough to ask the boys to dance. Fruit punch was served between the dances, and after the ''Home, Sweet Home" waltz the young men departed for their homes under the careful guidance of their fair escorts. We (the boys) are very much indebted to the young lad ies and especially Miss Iva McDougal, ! who acted as manager of the dance, for j a most enjoyable evening. For Sale.

Said book contained a Hum of money, also a 1908 New Year's card. The tinder will be liberally re warded by leaving same at PRESS of flee. 48-tf. Communicated. I MR. EDITOR: It seems as if the Pennsylvania Leg islature would miss a couple of ses j sions, by that time the Supreme Court J would have time to "knock out" the rest of the unconstitutional laws on | the statute book, and then perhaps a Legislature could be elected, that would pass some laws that could be enforced, and that wouldn't be wholly in the interest of the corporations and money classes. It is an old saying "that a laborer is worthy of his hire." There is only one class of citizens in the IT. S., that are supposed to work j without pay, and that is the criminal | class under sentence. Now in this great state of Pennsyl j vania there are two classes, who have to j work for nothing and board them selves." These are tho school Direc | tors and Supervisors of public roads. | Shall we class them as criminals? Is j it a "square deal" to compel them to j ■ putin the amount of time they have j I to, if they live up to their oaths of I j office, without any compensation what- ] ! ever. We think not. There is need of some laws being passed to fit these cases. Then there should be a law passed for the protec tion ofthe citizens along the streams, compelling the manufacturing plants, to stop turning their poisons into the I streams These corporations have 110 I right of "eminent domain," as the railroads have, who can g> through your property anywhere and pay you about what they please. On the con trary the citizens have some rights in the case, which the corporations should be compelled to respect. No voter in Potter, Cameron or Clinton counties should cast hia ballot for a member of Assembly unless he would pledge himself to do ail in hi* power, to have an act passed at the coming session of the Legislature to prohibit the pollution of the streams by the pulp mills, tanneries, dynamite works, etc. SQUARE DEAL." DEATH'S DOINGS LEWIS Mrs. Fant A. Lewis, aged 55, died on North Creek, on Tuesday of heart fail ure. Funeral takes place Saturday at Rich Valley church, Rev. Dow officiat ing. The lady has been an invalid for several years. • # # MAC DONOUGII. Mrs. Ellen MacGowan-MacDonough, aged 84 years, died on Friday night, Feb. 14th, 1908, at the residence of her •laughter. Mrs. Katie Normanly, after an illness of two years. Deceased leaves two daughters and three sons viz: John, Temple, Texas; Sylvester, Mrs. Patrick Normanly and Mrs. C. C. Ritchie, Em porium; Thos. P., Buffalo. Mrs. MacDonough and her husband, the late Thos. MacDonough, came to Emporium in 1866, with their family from Scotland, all of their children except Mrs. Ritchie having been born in that country. Mr. MacDonough, who died in June, 1899, will be pleas antly remembered by our citizens. Our citizene always respected the good mother who passed to the great be yond, surrounded by her loving chil dren, and remember with deep rev erence her true christian character. High Mass was said at St. Mark's church Monday morning by Rev. Father Downey. His remarks were highly eulogistic ofthe dead and spoke in glowing words of praise of this tsuly good woman. In addition to the relatives residing in town, the following from out of town attended the funeral: Thos. P. MacDonough, wife and daughter, Buf falo; Mrs. Thos. Cavanaugh and Mrs. Thos. Lysett, Wiiliamsport; Miss Celia Foley, Ridgway. Big Purchase H. Clarence Rich, of Buffalo, former- ' ly of Emporium, last Saturday pur- j purchase one-half interest in the old : City Bank block, six stories, paying | §87,500 or $5,000 a foot. Cameron County Hecognized. Miss Mattie M. Collins, our very'effi- j cient Supt. of Schools, attended the | State Teachers' Ass iciation at Harris , burg, last week and took an active | part in the program. She was elected I first vice president of the Association, j Hard Lines. Last Friday, Saturday and Sunday ! were strenuous times in this section flooded out,aud almost frozen to death, ! caused by bieak in the gas line. The! Gas Company certainly deserves credit | for their prompt work in restoring the system—the men working in water and ice up to their arm-pits. We are warmed up once more, ready for thej next break. Political Candidates. J. A. Mutthersbaugh, of Driftwood, an aspirant for the Associate Judge nomination, at the hands ofthe Repub lican party, was in town on Tuesday, calling on our citizens, presenting his claims. Mr. M., is and has for many years been in the employ ofthe Penn sylvania R. R., as station agent, the past fifteen years being located at Driftwood, where he owns property and is closely identified with the best interests of Cameron county. If nomi nated he would make an honest, tear less and dignified judge. "Color Guard Mutthersbaugh" enlisted when he was but sixteen years of age in the Logan Guard* at Lewistown and was a member of the first company sent to Washington by Governor Andrew Cur tin and fought to the finish with Slier, man in his famous march to the sea and lived to join in the Grand Review at Washington. It was just such grit as that demonstrated by "Jake" Mut thersbaugh that saved the Union. Volume Forty-Two. With this issue the PRESS enters up on its forty-second year, full of hope for Cameron county and Emporium. We believe in the future of Little Cam eron and the PRESS is ready at all times to join in any movement for the bet terment of our county. During the past year the PRESS en joyed the largest business in its history, for which wo thank our patrons. While we are not as young as we used to be, we hope to be spired to stay with the PRESS and its many friends for some time to come. Another Factory. Mr. A. D. Gore, of Sinnamahoning, transacted business in Emporium last Saturday and planted an application for a charter, in the PRESS, for the in corporation ofthe Sinnamahoning Box Factory. That's right—keep at it and may be Sinnamahoning will apain boom. The February Election. SHIPPEN. Supervisor—Carter, R., 93, Lewis. R., 82, Bauer, D., 140.
