THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 42. Was It Lady Like? Mrs. Emma Mersereau Newton, for merly a resident of Emporium, but of late years a resident of New York city, who tabes to herself the "whole push ' of opposition to the public demand for the paving of Fourth street. In her article in thin week's Independent she evidently labored under a delusion, or rather brain clot. We dislike very much to take issue with a lady, but since she has gone out of her path to "throw mud" at ye editor and make misrepresentations that are utterly false and misleading, we beg the par don of the fair sex. Wo are satieflea to pay a just tax upon our holdings in Emporium, yet we insist that a prop erty covering the most conspicuous corner in town—7sx2s feet—be valued something near the market value and not one sixth the price refused, as we are informed, reliably. We are at a loss to know of a piece of property in Emporium advertised for sale for taxes. If the lady refers to unseated land sales of lands owned by C. 15. Howard Co., lion. Josiah Howard, ourselves and others, she should be honest and not attempt to mislead the public, (and injure the innocent), yet most sensible people know that land sales take place every TWO years. This is a mighty poor argument against public improvements Street paving is popular in Empori um and is coming along nicely, thank you. Our tax-payers very generally do not desire any of "your healthy country roads." We have been pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for these beautiful (?) roads in the past. Get aboard the band wagon and join the shouting chorus. "Onward with clean, healthy brick paving from West Creek bridge to Emporium Junction." Enough of this. Emporium will ad vance—croakers to the rear, on the healthy mud roads. The Person who has Lost Interest in Things has Lost All. Is the list of things that interest you growing smaller or larger year after year? What sort of things have you taken off the list and what sort of things have you added to it? Look it over, this list—and analyze it critical ly; just as though it were the other fel low's—or the other woman's list. If the list is larger than it was a year ago, congratulate yourself. If it is smaller, get a little anxious and put yourself on the witness stand. For the future add something to this list continually, in dustriously. For, in every item that you add to it, you add an extension to your lease of life, lengthen your years on earth. How many kinds of adver tisements interest you—for example? Here's a chance to add a lot of items to the list—profitable, educative, remun erative items. Adams —Barnes. Married at eight o'clock Tuesday evening, June 9th, at Ransomville, N. Y., by the Rev. A. C. Dow, Edna Adams, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. 11. Adams, of Emporium, Pa., to Fi-ank D. Barnes, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Barnes of this place. Rev.

Haas married Miss Josephine Marks, who five years ago was a clerk in the Climax office in Emporium. Too late for further particulars. Blumle —Deitzler. One of the most beautiful and im pressive marriages was that of Miss Anna Blumle, eldest daughter of Hon. and Mrs. F. X. Blumle, and William Deitzler, in St. Mark's Church, last Monday morning. While the guests were assembling in the church, Mrs. E. T. Wells, organist of the church, rend ered some very sweet music and short ly after nine o'clock the well known Mendelssohn Wedding March was sounded which announced the ap proach of the bridal party which pro ceeded up the centre isle of the church in the following order: Usher, Mr. John Quigley and best man, Mr. Francis Deitzler, a brother of the groom; Miss Mary Blumle, handsome ly attired in white, carrying a basket of beautiful flowers, as maid of honor, followed by Miss Thressa Blumle as bride's maid, who was very becoming ly gowned in pale blue; following her came the bride, looking moat beautiful and charming, in her bridal robes of pure white, her gown being of lace over white silk, and she were a wreath and long veil and carried a prayer book. They were met at the altar by the groom and the Rev. Father Reams who united them for life. Following the marriage ceremony Nuptial High Mass was celebrated which was very impressive. The choir was at its best and their responces in the Mass were well rendered; Mrs. Jerome Bell sang the Ara Maria in her usual pleasing manner. After the Mass the party left the church to the strains of Mendel ssohn's wedding march and repaired to the spacious and beautiful home of the bride where a reception was held for about two hundred invited guests. May their future lives bo as sunny as was the day they made their vows as man and wife, is the wish of the PRESS, Mr. and Mrs. Deitzler are spending their honeymoon at Sbamokin, the home of the groom, and other eastern points. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful, costly and useful presents. The out of town guests present were: Rev.

"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1908. DEATH S DOINGS GAKVIN Joseph M. Garvin, of East Fifth street, aged about 55, died suddenly on Sunday afternoon, about three o'clock. His daughter, Mias Mary, found her father lying at the foot of the hall stairs, where be had evidently fallen and instantly expired, having been stricken with apoplexy. His wife and two children had left Em porium for Ohio, but stopped at Shef field to visit Mrs. Slaigle, hut they re returned to Emporium and took his remains to Freeport, Westmorland county, Pa., Tuesday morning. De ceased carried $2,000 insurance in the Maccabees in favor of his wife. ••• lIAUBER. Mus. ELIZABETH IRENE HAUBER, aged 32 years, wife of our townsman Mr. J. S. Hauber, died on Friday night about 11 p. m., June 19th, 1908, at the family residence, Fifth street, after an illness covering one year. The devot ed husband consulted the best medical skill in Buffalo, Philadelphia and other places yet the true cause of her disease baffled all. Last week her devoted husband took her to Philadelphia and consulted a specialist without arriving at any conclusion. He was advised to come home and return as soon as the sick lady grew stronger. They came home and the poor sufferer cheered up and on Friday afternoon was quite talkative. The hand of death was then hovering over her. At eleven o'clock she passed away, peacefully. Deceased leaves in addition to the husband, four children—two boys and two girls—the eldest nine years old and the youngest four months. The eldest children will make their home with Mr. Hauber's mother, Mrs. Sebastian Hauber, at St. Marys, Pa. The babe was given, by the dying mother, to Mr. Hauber's sister, Mrs. Henry Biber, of Kane, who has no children. The remains were conveyed to St- Marys, the former home of Mr. Hauber, Sunday evening, where scores of re latives and friends viewed the def nr' ed at the old Hauber home, liequim High Mass was celebrated Monday morning at St. Marys Catholic Church. The funeral was very largely attended, relatives and very many friends com ing from Emporium and other towns. The floral offerings, from relatives and friends in Buffalo, Erie, St. Marys and Emporium were in great abundance. Mr. and Mrs. Hauber were married ten years ago last Feb. and were great ly respected by our citizens. We knew the departed all her life and never heard anything but good words in her behalf. No husband could be more considerate and sacrificing than Mr. Hauber. Nothing that money could purchase was denied her. Our towns people all deeply sympathize with the bereaved husband and children. BROOKF. MISS EVANGELINE BROOKS, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. V. A. Brooks of Sin namahoning, met with a fatal accident at Sterling Run, Last Saturday after noon. Miss Brooks went to Sterling Run early in the morning to arrange ior a camping party for July 4th. She stopped at Mr. Edward Whiting's and securing his horse and buggy started, accompanied by Mr. Whiting's two daughters, to examine the condition of the camping grounds. After calling at Mrs. Phineas Masons home they started on their return to Sterling Run. When near Jas. Strawbridge's the horse becoming unmanageable, she told the girls to jump out, which they did. The horse now seemed tc oe be yond control and was running at a rapid pace, the brave girl standing up and making a desperate effort to check him, when she either jumped or was thrown out, striking on her head. Mr. Jaa. R. Strawbridge, who saw her fall, and others hastened to her prostrate form. She was found in an uncon scious condition and breathed for a short time, but was dead when Dr. Corbett arrived. It is tho impression of many that the harness was broken as well as the thills, which made the horse run away, In fact one side of the horse showed signs of braises or scratches. Kind friends tenderly carried her to the home ot Jas. R. Strawbridge, when her friends were notified of her sudden death, who in turn 'phoned to Hon. Geo. J. Laßar's undertaking establish ment at this place, to take charge of the remains. Mr. Rishell took Erie mail, the Penna. R. R. Co., kindly con senting to stop the train at both Sterl ing and Sinnamahoning, and prepared the body for burial. The regret expressed by all who knew the lady, as she was well and favorably known in all parts of the county was very general. She was of a bright, joyous nature and was one who made friends and retained them. Miss Brooks was actively engaged as a teacher in the schools of this county and frequently visited Emporium. The funeral took place from the fam ily residence at Sinnamahoning on Monday afternoon at two o'clock. Rev. Conway Wing Dickson, conduct ed the services at the home, assisted by Revs. Anderson and Allen. The par lor where reposed the dead girl was ouo bank of roses, ferns and potted plants. About five hundred relatives and friends attended the funeral—-a living testimony of the popularity of the dead. A misunderstanding as to the hour of the funeral prevented a large num ber of friends from Emporium attend ing. The PRESS extends its sympathy to the grief stricken family in this hour ofterrible affliction. "United Wc Stand—Divided We Fall." Apparently the Ladies Chamber of Commerce think they should fight the Foujth street pavement. I am very sorry because I think they make a grievous mistake, but if the men of the town really want the pavement, they will "rock the boat" hard enough to get it. For, remember that "the fittest survive," but we must not expect the storekeepers on Fourth Street to do all the "fitting" so that Emporium can survive. It is like the story of the poor man whose horse fell down and broke his leg, and the neighbors and friends stood around, saying "My, how bad that is—the horse will have to be shot, and how sorry they were etc. etc.," until one of them said, "Well, I am sorry §5.00 worth" and in a very few minutes the man had money enough to buy a new horse. The paving of the center of the town is a benefit to all of us—both in the East and West Wards, and to the peo ple who live on the hill, and for my part I am willing to subscribe some thing to got it paved. I uo not expect to see the street pav ed in front of ray house for ten or more years, but I would like to see Fourth Street paved with brick from the Warner House to the Junction as soon as possible. There is some talk of forc ing the property-holders by law, but we do not need any law between friends, and we are all friends and are interested in Fourth Street, and in the health and looks of the town. Our storekeepers have been compel ed to carry their customers this last winter, and trade has not been any too profitable, and I believe we had better go without the pavement than to quar rel with the Ladies Chamber of Com merce, who feel that this is not the time to raise the money, and I certain ly would not be in favor of using any force to get what we can get peace fully. The work can be done much better, and a great deal cheaper by the Bor ough doiDg the work, the same as they did in front of the Odd Fellows' block. Principally because we would not get full allowance from a contractor for the good foundation that is already in the street. Another reason why we should have this pavement putin this year is, so that we could apply to the State Highway Department to finish the road down to the Junction, and it is quite likely that our member in the Legislature next year—either Mr. Egan or myself—could see that the state helps make a brick road through the East Ward, the same as the State has helped other towns. This cannot be done until we make the connecting line between the State road in the West Ward and the strip of pavement at the Odd Fellows' block, and it should be done now, so that the Borough can make application to the State Highway Department to get the street paved to the Junction next year. Now, if we are really anxious for this pavement, let us "rock the boat" and all chip in and give something accord ing to our means, and we will get it. Respectfully yours, JOSIAH HOWARD. Mountaineers Attention! The Mountaineer Hose Co., has been invited by the Star Ilose Company, cf Port Allegany, Pa., to participate with them in the Celebration of Independ ence Day, at Port Allegany.

While riding horseback with Miss Regina Blinzler, on a little lark, the horse took fright at an automo bile, dumping the girls off.
