Spence, and one of the graduates in this year's class, has a record of which she can well be proud. Miss Spence has never been late in arriving at school during a period of eight years.

A. large crowd of young people were very elaborately entertained last Thursday evening at the home of Miss Belle Husted, in honor of Miss Pearl Bentley, the very efficient maker in the millinery department of Mr. R. Kuehne's store. Miss Bentley left on Friday for her home at Lock Haven, where she was hurriedly summoned. Several hours were happily spent in various amusements. Miss Husted rendered some excellent music, assist-1 ed by several of her friends. Later a sumptuous repast was enjoyed by all as Miss Husted's hospitality is proverbial. Straw Hide. The Junior Class of next year in Em porium High School heartily enjoyed a straw ride to the homo of Fred Yentzer and family on Clear Creek last Thursday evening. Sixteen mem bers of the class were present, chaper oned by Miss Lena Bair. The young ladies of the class furnished refresh ments. The crowd say that the place togo to have a good time is at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Yentzer. All present had a most enjoyable time. Pleasant Visitors. Mrs. E. C. Davison and daughter, Miss Mary, and Mrs. Ralph C. Davi son, of Pittsburg, were guests of James M. Davison, at Commercial Hotel, last Wednesday and Thursday, remaining here for the May Carnival at the opera hous. They met many old friends while here and were pleasantly enter tained by "Uncle James." Presbyterians Leave for Denver. Mr. F. D. Leet, of this place, one of the commissioners elect to represent the Presbyterian church of Pennsylva nia, departed last Monday by special train from Philadelphia for Denver, Col., to attend the twenty first annual session of the legislative body of the Presbyterian church. Among the important questions that will come up for consideration will be a plan to hold quadrennial instead of annual sessions. The Presbytery of West Jersey has sent up an overture asking for a meet ing every three years, and advocates of this plan state that it would be a saving of $120,000 to the Presbyterian church. Dr. Roberts does not favor triennial meetings. He says the plan would be a failure, both as to the letter j and the spirit of the Presbyterian gov ernment; that triennial assembly means the loss of stimulus for all church work for three years, and fin ally that the Presbyterian church does not have a board of house of bishops to attend to its administration between national assemblies. Dr. Roberts compares the cost of a Presbyterian general assembly which he places at SOO,OOO to the $140,000 which its board of bishops cost the Methodist Episcopal church last year. A reduction of the number of com | missioners to the assembly will be con ! sidered. Since the absorption of the i Cumberland church, the governing | body has become unwieldy and many believe that better results will ensue if there are fewer men to make the legis lation. A commission will ask for $3,000,000 for a uniform budget for benevolent ! and mission boards. ''Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." — WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY. MAY 20, 1909. A Bad Runaway. Sunday afternoon, about 3:30 o'clock, R D. Graham's team driven by Wm, Graham, became unmanageable, com ing down the Chapman Hill narrows, and ran away, throwing Win. Graham out of the buggy. "Chic" Howlettand Chas. Bunce, of Sterling Run, who were also in the buggy endeavored to stop the team but before they could do so, they ran into Hulbert Smith's rig, who was returning home from Cam eron. Both rigs and occupants were thrown over the bank. Robt. Boyd was the first party to notify the town people of the accident, and returned to the wreck with a force of men. Wm. Graham was found unconscious in the road quite a distance from where the wreck occurred and brought home by Harry Shearer, of Emporium, who was on the scene with a rig. Dr. Bush was promptly called and dressed the wounds of the injured. Chas. Bunce and "Chick" Howlett were only slight ly injured and were able to walk home. "Hub" Smith was very badly injured, having his breast bone badly bruised and otherwise badly used up. Mr. Smith was found under the wreckage, pinned down by wagons and horses, it being a miracle that he escaped with his life. His horse which is noted for its intelligence, proved himself more so at the wreck, for after breaking loose from the wreckage, instead of running away, he returned to his master, who was still held fast in the wreckage. LATEH.— Since the above was pat in type Mr. Smith called on the PRESS, yesterday afternoon, having visited Emporium relative to his accident. Mr. Smith states that when the horse and buggy ran into his rig no one was in the buggy ; also that he extricated himself from the wreck before any of the party reached the scene and was taken across the creek by Wm. Hatha way, who drove him to Cameron, where Dr. Bush treated him. His two year old colt was waiting in the middle of the road. Mr. Smith has been greatly damaged and feels that his de mands must be satisfied, or he will know the reason why. Rents Hotel. J. H. Welton, who has conducted the Evergreen Hotel at Hicks Run, was in town last Tuesday transacting business. Mr. Welton informs the PRESS that he has rented his hotel and sold the furniture and stock to W. H. Rankins, who formerly conducted a hotel at Dents Run, and is an exper ienced hotel man. Mr. Welton has re turned to Sinnamahoningto reside and will live on "easy street" for a time. He contemplates a trip to the Pacific coast and will take in the Alaska-Yu kon-Pacific Exposition, which com mences June Ist and closes Oct. 16tb. Ye editor has been "cordially inyited to attend" by Director Jas. A. Wood, but we will have to allow Mr. Weston to represent us—he is young (?)and a good walker. The Blumle Girls Enjoying Their Trip. The Misses Theressa, Helen and Frances, of this place, and Miss Regina Severin, of St. Marys, who sailed on a three months European trip, leaving Hoboken, April 24th, are having a jolly time. The PRESS editor was favored with a post card, dated May 3rd, which reads: "Landed at Gibralter Monday, May 3rd, and are here for six hoars' sightseeing; the rocks are beautiful- Friday, April 30th, was the first land we saw since leaving Hoboben. The Azore Islands are beautiful and all in habited by Spaniards. Were in sight of Islands from eleven o'clock until six." Our Emporium people know they are having a good time and are glad of it. We wish the jolly bunch may crush many hearts in Germany, but remember at the same time, the fond friends in Dear Old America, who patiently await their return. Baptist Church. JOHN L. BOGUE, Pastor.

Swope entered the jail prison for the purpose of unlocking the cages, to give the prisoners the freedom of the corridor, as is usually done. After unlocking the cage in which Leopardo Carmello, arrested for assault and highway robbery, the jail or turned towards the other cages. Quicker than a flash the Italian, who was lying in bed with his clothes on, rushed for the door leading to the en trance to the prison and rushed up stairs. Jailor Swope grabbed him on the stairs, but he pulled away and made for the jail kitchen door, but Mrs. Swope who heard the alarm, headed him off. The prisoner then bolted for the front door and made his escape, hatless, coatless and bare foot ed. He ran down the alley east of the jail. The alarm was given and within fifteen minutes Sheriff Norris and as sistants were after him, but no trace could be found. The prisoner is a bad man, having served a term in Italy and only last December closed a three yesrs term in the Western Penitentiary for highway robbery. He evidently had assistance. Going to Oklahoma. Miss Gertrude Germond, one of our school teachers, expects to leave with in a short time for Oklahoma, where she will follow her vocation.

They stopped off at Harrisburg to visit the beautiful State Capitol and were greatly pleased.

Pomeroy, assistant cashier of Citizens National Bank, Port Allegany, accompanied by Frank Dunbar, visit ed in Emporium Monday evening, making the run over here in Mr. Pome roy's big Rambler Auto.

Don't forget! 3 cans Sweet Clovar i Peas, for 25c, at C. B. Howard & Co's. I Where did you get that stylish Straw ! ' Hat? At C. B. Howard & Co's Spraying Plum Trees, Potato Vines, etc. Among the letters recently received by Prof. Surface, State Zoologist, at Harrisburg, was one from a Dauphin county farmer, which should be given wide publicity. The correspondent wrote: "A few years ago my fruit trees were dying from the effects of the San Jose scale. Fortunately, following your ad vice, I bought a good spray pump and apparatus for using the lime-sulfur wash, and began spraying thoroughly fall and spring, and to-day I have sev eral hundred fine, healty trees, practic ally free from scale. On trees that were covered with scale from the tips of the branches to the trunks not a live scale can be found. "Kindly answer the following ques tions: (1) How much Paris green to e '£ht gallons of water can be used safely to spray plum trees? I used a teaspoonful last year to eight gallons of water and killed many fruit buds. (2) Tell me how to make a spray for potato blight; how much bluestone and lime to use to 50 gallons of water?" To this State Zoologist Surface re plied as follows: "I certainly thank you for your very kind letter, making such a definite statement concerning the cleaning up of your trees and the production of perfect fruitand the growing of healthy trees free from scale, by the use of the lime-sulfur wash, following our direc tions. This is but an example of what every person in this State could have done had they acted equally intelli gently, faithfully and persistently. On the other hand I have many reports of persons who wanted something with easier work, even if more expensive, and consequently, bought the high priced oils, and in many cases killed their trees or injured them so badly that they are now turning to me, ask ing what can be done to overcome the evil offects of their former action. "I take great pleasure in replying in detail to the inquiries of such persons as yourself, because it is an inspiration to know that you act intelligently up on the advice given, and regard it as worth something,even though it is free of cost. It is, also, a pleasure to me to know that such efforts on my part are not in vain, but are really helpful. Concerning Paris green, the formula is one pound or sixteen ounces to 150 gallons of water for hardy plants. For plain proportions I would recommend one ounce to each 10 gallons. In fact one ounce to eight gallons will not be too strong for potatoes. However, I should use three or four times as much lime as Paris green,'.making milk of lime and straining it into the water with Paris green. "Also, on plums I would not recom mend you to use Paris green if you can get arsenate of lead. The later sticks better and is much more to be desired. You can buy this of different firms. I would not spray th« plum trees until after the blossoms have fallen and the fruit is nearly as large as the average pea. "To make a spray for potato blight use three pounds of bluestone and four or five pounds of lime in fifty gallons of water. If you have potato beetles, add one-third of a pound of Paris green, or one-pound of arsenate of lead to this. I should have told you that there are various formulas recommend ed for using arsenate, varying from one to three or four pounds in fifty gallons of water, but it has been proven that if you use a good quality of arsen ate of lead, one pound in fifty gallons will do the poisoning, just the same as though you used three times as much, and, of course, there is less danger of injury and it is mora economical." Railroad Changes. A party of railroad officials arrived here this morning on flyer and re mained until seven o'cloek, when they were taken to Buffalo on a special train. It is rumored that there will be a change in the time table of the Buf falo division to take effect in the near future. Let us hope that something will be done to make better train ser vice for the traveling public and for the residents of Emporium. Iron Ore Agent. Mr. Geo. F.

Mrs. Lewis, a daughter of the late John Mason, was born in Gibson town ship, but has resided in Emporium for many years and her kind acts extend ed during her occupancy of the jail will be remembered by more than one poor unfortunate. She leaves two daughters to mourn her death, Mrs. Frank Shives and Mrs. Alex- McDou gall. The PRESS extends its sympathy to the bereaved family, especially its editor, who in years past has reason to remember with gratitude, more than one kindness received at the bauds of the deceased.
