Reports of the Employes' Relief
Fund of the Pennsylvania System,
East and West of Pittsburg, issued to
day, show that the total payments since
the organization of the Relief Depart
ments amount to $25,913,283.98.
On the Lines East of Pittsburg and
Erie during February, the sum of $107,-
351 90 was paid out. Of this $36,204.50
went to families of members who had
died, while §71,147.40 was paid to mem
bers who were incapacitated for work.
The total payments on the Lines East
since February loth, 1886, when the
Relief Fund war organized, amount to
118,913,465.92.
In February the payments of the
Relief Fund on the Lines West to
members unable to work amounted to
§27,278.90, and to families of members
Who died §3,250.00, a total of $40,528.90
for the month. The disbursements in
' the nineteen years of its existence
have reached §6,999,818.06.
Nineteen hundred and eight was the
most prosperous year ever experienced
by the farmers of Southern New Jer
sey, according to reports which have
just been compiled by the Freight De
partment of the West Jersey and Sea
shore Railroad—one of the subsidary
lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. More than 14,000 carloads,
140 miles of cars of perishable freight
were shipped from points on the West
Jersey and Seashore.
The shipments in 1908 were larger
by 2,771 cars than those of 1907, an in
crease of 19 per cent. These figures
derive added significance from the
fact that the Railroad company ih the
past year has been carrying on an ac
tive campaign to encourage the fur
ther development of New Jersey as an
agricultural State. The Company has
supplied to produce and commission
merchants desiring to buy in various
territories a list of reliable growers and
shippers of commodities from those
sections. In addition, a farmers'
special instruction train was run for
the benefit of the farmers on the West
Jersey and Seashore. The same policy
is also being pursued in many other
sections.
The 14,042 car-loads of produce ship
ped from Southern New Jersey in 1908
contained the following : 77,210 crates
of berries, 519,096 crates of tomatoes,
112,861 crates of cantaloupes, 5,554
crates, 289,055 barrels, and 307,880 ham
pers of sweet potatoes, 8,425 crates,
94,823 barrels and 21,062 hampers of
peppers, 4,587 barrels of applas, 8,945
crates and 10,565 barrels of cranberries,
463,380 cases of canned goods, 141,972
sacks of oysters and clams, 211,322 bar
rels of white potatoes.
***
That the exploitation of the produce
grown in New Jersey, the efforts to
develop the widest possible market,
and the operation of fast preference
freight trains to enable shippers to de
liver their produce at the markets in
the best possible condition, have been
effective is evidenced by the fact that
in 1908 the table delicacies referred to
were placed in the markets of 24 differ
ent States, the District of Columbia,
and Canada. Four car loads were
shipped to Montana, three oars to
North Dakota, 12 cars to Maine, 45 cars
to Minnesota, 27 cars to Wisconsin,
and 23 cars to Canada.
Of the remaining 13,828 cars Camden
and Philadelphia received 5,507. Jer
sey City and New York 4,451, Newark
640, Boston 485, Pittsburg 643, Chicago
375, Ohio 190, Buffalo 272, other New
York points 111, Massachusests 101,

The Railroad Companies are seek
ing still further to promote the wide
distribution of farm products, Through
the operation of these plans, residents
at remote interior points are having
placed before them at reasonable pri
ces the fruits and vegetables of all sec
tions—a privilege enjoyed a few years
ago by only the most important cities.
Struck by Flyer.
On Wednesday noon, a chap from St
Marys, stepped from a freight train near
the Junction, right in front of the Erie
Flyer and was struck with such force,
that he was thrown about thirty feet.
Dr. H. S. Falk was called to attend the
man but he refused the doctor's atten
tions, saying he was not hurt. The
man refused to give his name.

KREBBS.
CHAHLES K. KREBBS, aged 36 years,
eleven months and eleven days, passed
away last Sunday morning, after an
illness of one year. Deceased up to
the time he was taken sick was a hard
worker, being employed in the powder
works and Howard & Co's mill, until
the fatal disease, consumption, com
pelled him to give up his desperate ef
j fort to regain his health and took to
j his bed. He leaves two small children,
besides a father, mother and two sisters
'to mourn his death. The funeral took
j place, Tuesday afternoon from his late
I home near the Junctian and although
| a heavy rain set in there was a very
i good attendance. Rev. J P. Ander
| son, pastor of M. E Church, conduet
:ed the services. The singing was
beautifully rendered by Messrs. H. C.
Olmsted, C. H. Felt, Geo. A. Walker
I and W. S. Sterner.
A large delegation of Odd Fellows,
i of which the deceased was an honored
i member, attended the funeral in a body
i and presented a very beautiful floral
I offering. The Odd Fellows never
' neglect their afflicted brethern and
! their attendance in a heavy down pour
of rain is commendable.

Emporium's Pro spects.
While many towns and cities in the
<■ luniry are suffering from a reduction
i.i wages and many manufacturing
plants have either shut down or run
on short time, Emporium has no just
cause to complain.
We should be thankful the Iron Fur
nace has not stopped for an hour,
neither has Mr. Brady reduced the
pay of his large force of workmen.
The Furnace is in full blast, we hope
may be for years to come and no doubt
will be, if orders continue to come.
Circumstances might close it, but there
is no immediate cause for fear, all re
ports to the contrary notwithstanding
Every industry in town is actively
at work.
The Penn Vitrified Brick Works re
sume work on Wednesday next
We bad hoped to give our readers
some extra good news this issue, but
shall have to forego the pleasure for a
short time. Good things come slowly.
Pasturing on State Lands.
We are frequently asked by subscrib
ers if they would be permitted to pas
ture their cows on lands owned by the
Forestry Department of this State.
We have until now not been enlighten
ed onthesnbject State Commissioner
of Forestry Conklin lias issued an order
which, if enforced, will limit the pas
turing of herds of cattle on the State
lands during the summer season.
Grazing on the State land, with the ex
ception of two milk cows per family, is
prohibited and numerous owners of
herds will have to see to it that their
cows graze on some other land than
that belonging to the State.
Gone to New Charge.
Rev. W. H. Allen, who for three
years has been located on the Em
porium Circuit, left last Monday for
Blackwell, Tioga county, his new
charge. Brother Allen made a host of
friends in this county, all whom highly
recommend him to the good people of
Blackwell. He is a conscientious,
hard worker and a pleasant gentleman,
if he is a bachelor. However, we un
derstand his present charge includes a
furnished parsonage and that no doubt
has caused our friend to think serious
ly. "I wonder."
The Lily and The Prince.
The forthcoming appearance of the
beautiful romantic drama "The Lily
and the Prince" at the Opera House on
April 10th, will be sure of a hearty re
ception for it will prove one of the
most delightful entertainments of its
kind during the current season.
It is based on a theme which is both
interesting and highly original. The
drama is strong in motive, clean in
morals and a masterpiece of stage
technique. From the delicate beauty
of the first act with its pretty love
scene in the Florentine rose garden,
beside the rippling fountain, to the
sombre inquisition chamber with its
accompaniment of super-emotion in
the third act, there is a wide diver
gence of dramatic treatment which af
fords the audience pleasure in its de
noument.
The production is staged with a lav
ish disregard of expense, maintaining
a delicacy of treatment in coloring and
ensemble effects which distinguishes
the true artistic instinct.
Friendly Society.
Maple Shade was the scene of a very
happy assemblage last Friday evening,
when Miss Wiley entertained the
Friendly Society. The following offi
cers were elected to serve for the next
six months: President, Mr. Charles
Wiley; Vice President, Miss Margaret
Dodson; Secretary, Howard Schriner;
Treasurer, Clifton Larrabbee. The
Rev. Paul J. Lux, pastor of the church,
rode the goat and is now a full fledged
member of the Society. The evening
was a most joyful one and was heartily
enjoyed by all present. Elegant re
freshments were served. There were
about forty present. Miss Wiley was
assisted by Mrs. Geo. P. Jones, Miss
Grace Walker, Geo. A. Walker and
Charles Wiley. The Misses Grace and
Ruby Heidick will entertain the Society
on the evening of May 7tb, at the Pres
byterian Church.
Wage Reductions.
Wage cutting continues. Fifteen
thousand steel workers in the plants of
the Republic Iron & Steel Company
will find their pay envelopes lighter by
10 percent, after April 1. Yet there
are people who think that the tariff is
too high. It must be that they think
that wages also are too high. In that
case, the lowering of the tariff is not
so hard to understand.
Tariff reduction is price reduction.
Price reduction is wage reduction.
Wage reduction is business reduc
tion.—American Economist.

ture Co., will givo one of its high-class
entertainments in the Court House,

a few particular friends, besides rela
tives witnessing the ceremony. While
they suceded in throwing many of their
friends in the dark as to the date and
place of the wedding all ended pleas
antly We wish the happy couple
much joy.
OAS KILL—HOPPLE.
Our society people were surprised
when the announcement was made last
Monday evening that Mr. J. Willis
GasUill and Mrs. Pearl Hopple were
married at the bride's residence on
Fifth street. Rev. W. 11. Allen tieiug
the knot in a substantial and lasting
manner. The groom, who is the only
son of our highly esteemed citizen, Mr.
E. W. Gaskill, Treasurer and General
Manager of Keystone Powder Com
pany of this place, than whom there is
no more substantial or respected citi
zen, is a chip of the block; steady, re
liable and universally respected by all
who know him. He fills a position of
trust with the Keystone. The beide,
who is a daughter of .our respected
West Creek neighbors, I. H. Legget
and wife, bas for several years faith
fully filled the position of Floor Lady
in the Keystone Shell Factory. She is
an energetic lady and when her grit
displayed has rendered her competent
to manage an industry like the Key
stone Shell Factory will make it doubly
sure that their home will be managed
in an economical manner. She de
serves a good husband and the groom
a good wife. Both are supplied and
their friends congratulate them. The
PRESS knowing them for so many
years, is confident this union will be a
happy one, we extend our best wishes.
Fifth Promotion.

where he has been located as Pennsy
transit man, has been transferred to
Mt. Holly, N. J., and promoted to As
sistant Supervisor. This makes five
times Mr. Bentley has been promoted
within a year, an indication that he is
industrious and competent. The
gentleman is husband of former Miss
Anna Quigley, an Emporium lady.
Purchase Closed.
H. S. Lloyd last Saturday closed the
deal for the Vodack property, situated

Denounces Local Option.
At the recent Central Pennsylvania
Methodist Conference, at Harrisburg, a
strong stand was taken for local option
and condemned the 137 Representa
tives who voted against the measure,
whioh resolution was passed after a hot
fight. Rev. Dr. Silas C. Swallow,
former prohibition candidate for Presi
dent, Governor, etc., made the fight
against the adoption of the resolution
and said the Fair local option bill was
"a joke, a farce, a fake, an abortion
that no honest, sincere opponent of
the liquor traffic could vote for and re
tain his self-respect."

Birthday Surprise Party.
A large company of the friends of
Mrs. Ardelia Francisco assembled at
the residence of Mrs. C. D. Bliss, Sat
urday evening, to congratulate her up
on her birthday anniversary. Mrs.
Francisco had no knowledge of the af
fair until she met her many devoted
friends at her door, and was over
whelmed by their fervent congratula
tions.
Lunch baskets had not been forgot
ton, good nature and kindly wishes
had been provided in abundance; all
remembrance of care, and all sense of
unhappiness were excluded, and pure
enjoyment ruled the hour.
It was one of those occasions char
acterized by the flow of the deeper,
purer currents of life, that relieves the
heart from painful remembrance and
dark foreboding, and brightens the ra
diance of happy anticipation.
Many were the expressions of kind
ly loving sentiment, and many the fer
vent wishes that attested the high es
teem in which Mrs. Francisco is held.
The evening was most happily pass
ed, without conventionality, in the
spontaneous flowof kindly sentiment,
and as tlio many guests bade their sis
ter and hostess good-night, many were
the wishes for many happy returns of
the delightful occasion
Among those present were Mr. and
Mrs. James Hobson, cf Howard, and
Mrs. John Catlin, of Renovo.
No Need of Concessions.
"Why not let the revised Tariff con
tain rewards for concessions?" asks a
correspondent of the New York "Even
ing Post." The answer is easy! The
United States asks no concessions from
any country. It ask* only that Ameri
can exports be treated fairly; that they
be required to pay no higher Tariff
rates than those on like goods from
other countries. The United States
does not complain of the Tariff rates
of any country to which American ex
ports are sent, provided all countries
sending similar exports pay similar
rates. So there is no need of rewards
for concessions, says the American
Economist.
Germany and France make no con
cessions when they grant to American
exports their lowest Tariff rates, for
those rates are fully and adequately
Protective. They start with a Protec
tive minimum, just as our revised Tariff
starts. The difference between their
dual Tariff systems and that proposed
in the House bill is that their maximum
rates of duty are imposed for the double
purpose of coercing concessions from
other countries and of retaliating when
concessions are refused, while our max
imum rates are for retaliation only, to
bo used not when other countries re
fuse to grant concessions, but when
they refuse to grant our exports fair
and equal Tariff treatment. Retalia
tion seems an ugly word, but there
will be no retaliation unless Tariff dis
crimination against our exports com
pels it.
