THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 42 Congressman Ghas. F. Barclay Labors Choice. _ ' ». . * .» . Under the caption of "Choice for Congress—List of Candidates whose Records we have examined and Fouud Right," in The United Labor Journal, published at Ilarrisburg, we clip part of an article concerning Congressman Chas. P. Barclay of this district. In this article it is stated that The United Labor Journal has conducted a careful and thorough investigation of members of congress and selected the friends of labor who should be re-elected. Out of eleven candidates mentioned in this issue Captain Barclay receives as un qualified an endorsement as any, apart of which is as follows: "The election of Hon. Charles F. Barclay in the Twenty- j first district is assured. His popularity with the masses leaves no doubt as to whether he will be elected. He com mands the confidence and admiration of all classes of people with whom he comes in contact. His life record is one of which he has ample reason to be proud. He has risen to his present position of prestige and affluence through inborn qualities of honesty, ability and indomitable energy. Cap tain Barclay is not a stranger to work. He has had more than a speaking ac quaintance with it throughout his en entire career of usefulness. He began lifeasawage earner and it is safe to say that no living man in the Keystone State more thoroughly understands the needs of the man who toils or who is more keenly sympathetic to those needs than Captain Barclay. This has been clearly demonstrated not only by his official record in the Halls of Con gress, but also in all his relations with labor as an employer. The cause of labor will always be safe if placed in the hands of such able and honorable representatives as Captain C. F.Bar clay * * * Organized labor recognizes in President Roosevelt a true friend of labcr; all of the great movements start ed in his administration affect princi pally and primarily the working peo ple. It is a well known fact that in carrying out his far reaching policies President Rosevelt has at all times had the cordial support of Congressman Barclay. Indeed it may be truthfully said that few representatives in the Halls of Congress stand closer to our President in the moulding of national policies and in the conduct of national affairs than does C. F. Barclay. It is not to be wondered, therefore, tbat a a man who has been tried and found right, who enjoys the confidence of President Roosevelt, should also be en titled te receive the combined support and confidence of the thousands of union men by whom he is held in the highest respect and esteem. The Usual Democratic Blunder. The Democratic party never made a greater mistake than when they attack ed the sincerity of President Roose velt. The American people hold in even higher honor his moral character than they do his universally recognized abil ity as a Statesman,and it hardly needed the President's vigorous letters to break the thin ice on which the opposi tion was skating. Bryan and all his catchy imitations, loose color even before it begins to rain, while most of the Democrats ob ject to weariag green goggles that make dry shavings look like nice clover. Eye Specialist. Prof. W. H. Budine, the well known Eye Specialist, of Bingham ton, N. Y., will be at It. H. Hirsch's jewelry store, Emporium, Pa., Oct. 10th. If you can't see well or have headache don't fail to call and see Prof. Budine, as he guarantees to cure all such cases. Lenses ground and fitted in old frames. Eyes tested and ex amined free. All work guaranteed. Alarming Illness. Our citizens were greatly alarmed ami concerned about the illness of our respected citizen, Mr. E. Q. Coleman of West Fourth street. He wan taken ill yesterday morning and remained in an unconscious condition most of the day. Drs. Smith, Heilman and Bush were call and remained with him most of the day and by evening a marked improvement existed, the patient re gaining partial consciousness. The trouble was congestion of the brain, with partial paralysis of left side. His son Edwin and Miss Marth, sister-in-law, of Olean, arrived yester day evening. That Street Paving. Inasmuch as the street paving case will be carried to the Supreme Court by the Borough of Emporium, we re frain from publishing Judge Hall's opinion at this time. Public improve ments are always bitterly opposed and we take it from the Judge's decision and opinion as rendered that he per personally favored the ordinance; he says. "We have arrived at this conclusion only after a most careful consideration and very reluctantly, because we feel that in the end it can be of no practi cal benefit to any one, and that its ef fect will be merely to delay for a time, a very desirable and much needed im provement in the Borough of Empori um. If there were an appeal from our dicision we would feel very much dis posed to hold that the Tulis signature was valid in the absence of a condition specifically stated, hoping that the ap pellate Court might sustain us in the interest of the progress and welfare of the town,but as there is no such appeal, and, therefore, n<> redress if we should be in error, we are bound under our conscience and our oath to decide the case strictly under the law as it now exists and as we understand it." Something There to Please All. A new evidence of the brightness and progressiveness of Emporium will be given Thursday and Friday even ings, Oct. 22d and 23rd, when 200 of our most popular belles and beaux will exhibit their versatility and talent in the Business Men's Carnival, which is to be held at the Opera House under the auspices of the ladies of the M. E Church, of Emporium. The author of this sprightly enter tainment, Mrs. M. A. Harris, of Car lisle, Pa., has arrived in our town for the purpose of drilling and rehearsing the large cast for this carnival, which is the very latest in home talent pro ductions, and is of the vaudeville order. Twenty-five spirited specialties are introduced each night, in rapid and sparkling succession, Jews, Reubens, droll colored gentlemen, maiden lad ies, wicked boys, Spaniards, Italians and Irishmen to say nothing of theOer mans, chase each other in one long ha-ha. Farce and frolic, sense and nonsense, beauty and music vie with each other in the rush to please. All the best and most tuneful of the popular airs will be sung. Then there are appealing classical pieces to be rendered by our leading vocalists, for those who love really good music. The skits present the merits of our leading business men in an entirely novel way. Wherever the carnival has been presented, the unanimous verdict has been that it was the very best home talent performance ever given. Did you ever see two lovers quar rel? Come and see it produced and hear the charming and beautiful music to it, sung by the most gallant of Span ish cavaliers and the daintiest of senoritas. Did you ever see any fun in Wash day? Well, you'll see it here; poor Mrs. Brown probably didn't, but you'll be sure to roar. Suffice is to say there is something in the carnival to please all, and you'll ; miss some good home talent efiorts if j you fail togo and see it. I Seriously Injured on Log Train Last Monday, about noon, Burton W. • Edwards, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. ! H. Edwards, of Sixth street, while ! working on Howord Company's North | Creek log train. The train stopped at j Camp No. 27; Bert was standing be ! tween two loaded cars when the brakes were let off, the cars came together with a thud, catching him between the logs.

A Democratic House would involve the attempt to pass all sorts of vicious legislation that would cause uncer tainty in business, check the wheels of progress, and be disastrous to the poli cies inaugurated by President Roose velt. In this Congressional district the Re publicans has Captain C. F. Barclay as their candidate lor re-election. He is a veteran of the Civil War. He has been attentive to his duties as a Congressman, and is a sound pro tectionist. He has sustained the President in all important legislation. He is opposed to the free trade doc trine of Bryanism. He is on the Committee of Pensions, and is in a position to look after the welfare of the old soldiers. He deserves the hearty support of evory Republican in the District. The Democratic candidate is W. H, Walker. He is committed to Bryanism and free trade. He would vote for free trade if elect ed and impose upon his constituents and the country all the direful disasters that would follow. But why should people vote for Walker? He is a clever fellow socially. He has no qualifications as a legis lator. He has not achieved any great suc cess as a lawyer of twelve years' prac tice. He is inclined to be windy, using other person's brains as his capital. But he has achieved some local re nown as a fairly expert chaueffer of a cheap automobile, in which he proudly parades his personal magnificence be fore the people. Beyond this he is nil.- -Bellefonte Weekly Gazette. Delightful Trip. Geo. A.

At Opera House to-uight. Olean's New Librarian. Miss Maud Brooks, of Olean, who re ! cently catalogued the Emporium Library, was on Sept. 19tli, elected librarian of the Olean Public Library, which will be pleasing news to the lady's many Emporium friends. The Olean Times, while speaking of their library, says:"The contract to build the new library building was let to Wm. Hanley, and for the steam heat ing to Wm. H. Simpson, who were the lowest bidders. The new building, for which Andrew Carnegie makes a gift of $40,000, will be fire proof, 55x80 foot, and two stories high." The Emporium Library, which is one of the most complete in the country, is maintained almost entirely by Hon. Josiah Howard, who is ever on the watch for improvements. Those who visit our model and up-to-date library, where valued information nnd inter esting literature, of the present, as well as ancient times, can always be found, are loud in their praise of Emporium's library. Reader, do you visit our library? If not, why not? DEATH S DOINGS PAY. The funeral of CHARLES C. FAY, whose sudden death was briefly an nounced in last week's PKESB,was held from his residence, East Allegany Avenue last Sunday, amid the scenes of a busy life. The funeral was very largely attended, scores of old tine friends from all sections being present to pay that last mark of respect due an honored citizen. Rev. Mr. Robert son, Rector of Emanuel Episcopal church, conducted the services and de livored a very able discourse. The singing was furnished by the H. C. Olmsted quartet, a blend of voices hard to surpass. The casket bearers were old-time friends of the family, viz: Riley Warner, R. Seger, R. M. Over hieer, F. Parsons, M. M. Larrabee, F, X. Blumle. The floral offerings from the family and frienda were beautiful and numer ous. Those relatives and friends from a distance in attendance at the funeral were; Mrs. R, S. Johnson, Corry; Miss Ettie Hitchcock, Sonyea, N. Y., Mr. Alonzo and Mr.Alfonzo Baker, Dußois, Pa, Mr. and Mrs. Perry R. Smith, llidgway; U. A. Palmer of Cuba, N. Y. Our acquaintance with the deceased dates back about forty years, in fact he was one of the "big men" as a boy we delighted to look at —large, noble look ing and big-hearted. This friendship of boyhood days lasted without an in terruption to the last. Mr. Fay was one of those blunt, dyed in-the-wool Republicans and seldom if ever step ped aside from his beaten political path. He was kind and charitable, to a fault, and during the many years that he conducted the St. Charles Hotel, which he erected, the weary traveler was hospitably received. His active life as an extensive farmer and hotel pro prietor continued up to a few weeks of hia death, which occurred last Wednes day, Sept. 30th, 1908, in the ripe old age of 82 years, ten months and fifteen days—passing away after an illness of only a few days. "St. Charles Fay" will be long and honorably remember ed by our citizens. Deceased was born in Essex county, N. Y., Nov. sth, 1825, of English and Welsh parents. He came to Empori um in 1859 and was for many years en gaged in lumbering. His wife died several years ago. Of three children only one survives him, Lida R., wife of our respected townsman and mer chant, Mr. Thomas H. Norris. Being a careful business man he accu mulated considerable property. How rapidly the old land marks are passing away. ».* N BEN AN. MRS. ELLEN NEENAN, aged 65 years, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. S. St. Don, on Saturday, October 3d, and the funeral was held on Tues day morning at nine o'clock, from St. Mark's Catholic church, the Rev. Father T. B. Downey officiating. In terment was made in the Catholic cem etery. Deceased is survived by five children, Mrs. S. St. Don ofEmporium; Mrs. Geo. Wykoff of Bradford; Mrs. George Rupert of Hyner and Mr. John Neenan. *•* SANFORD. James Sanford, aged 67, died at his home, near Beechwood, on Thursday, his funeral taking place on Sunday.— He was the last of the Sanforda. John A.

When Mr. Walker was nominat ed for Congress by the Democrats, Captain Barclay, and the Republi can Party, assumed that he was a gentleman ; have at all times en deavored to treat him as one. and sincerely desire to continue so to do. Some of the Democratic pap ers in the district, and it is said that Mr. Walker himself, have been making personal attacks upon Mr. Barclay, that they know to be ab solutely without truth. We sincerely hope and want to believe, that Mr. Walker is in no way responsible for these attacks upon the character and business reputation of Mr. Barclay, whose whole life is a refutation of them ; and unless we are mistaken in as suming that Mr. Walker is a gen tleman, we are sure he will put an end to them at once. Letter From Almeron Chapman. NEW WENACIIEE, WASH. * Sept 28th, 1908. FRIEND MULLIN:—I am spending a few weeks vacation in the Wenachee Valley enjoying its beautiful scenery, its lofty peaks, snow clad, on the Cas cade range, its beautiful orchards, laden with fruits of all kinds, which can better be described by using the language ot Bishop Hughes, of the M. E. Church, in writing home to his son, in describing the country said: "A land were plums grow as big as peaches, peaches as big as apples, .apples as big as cantalopes, cantalopes as big as mellons, mellons as big as pumpkins." When here a few weeks ago, presiding at the Columbia River Conference, ho said: "This is a land where plums grow as big as peaches, etc., and mellons as big as pumpkins, aud pumpkins as big as all out doors." He might have added as dusty as all creation. The soil is of a volcanic ash, and the dry weather, and high winds make it almost unendurable at times. There is no growing vegeta tion without irrigation from May to October, bnt with irrigation excellent crops and fruit are grown. We will return to Spokane in about two weeks and be ready to help carry the State of Washington for Taft and Sherman, which wo have not a bit of doubt of doing. I enclose you a postal order for §1.50, Please send the PRESS along for an other year. Respectfully yours, A. CHAPMAN, 1712 Spofford Ave., Spokane, Wash., Hon. Josiah Howard, our nominee for the legislature, will huve the larg est majority he ever received in Cam eron county. He stands for you and the good of the state and county. Make his election unanimous. Four sets of new and beautiful scen ero in Uncle Haz. At Opera House to night. NO. 34.
