FREE TRIPS TO THE WORLD'S SERIES.
The Pittsburgh Gazette Times Will Pay all Expenses of the Four Most
Popular Aniatuer Teams, No Matter Where the Games are Played—
Get the Votes; It's Up to You to Win.
The Gazette Times is going to take
a big party ofamateur-base ball players
to see the World's Championship
games next October.
That is decided.
What teams shall goon this trip,
which may include a journey as far
east as Boston and as far west as Chi
cago or St. Louis?
That remains to be determined.
It is up to the amateur teams and
their friends to say who shall go.
Now, all you have to do is to get the
votes.
Four amateur teams —12 men, includ
ing the manager, will constitute a team
—are to be the guests of-The Gazette
Times on the world-beating trip.
Every amateur team in the territory
in which the Gazette Times circulates
will have a chance to capture the
prize. It will be a free field and no
favor shown.
The small boys will have a chance
equal with the larger fellows.
The plans have been so formulated
that two teams of small boys are bound
to win. It will be interesting to see if

A Good Record.
Miss Mollie Spence, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. B. L. 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. Who can sur
pass this?
Just received a fresh invoice of
Crackers and Cookies at C. B. Howard
& Co's.

Farewell Party.
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.

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.

ITALIAN BOLTS
FROM COUNTY JAIL
t
Last Saturday morning, about five
o'clock, Jailor J. D. 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. Thoseoil
and ranch kings of the west will have

schools of this county and has been
considered one of the best.

Big Touring Car.

Citizens National Bank, Port Allegany,

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.

DEATH'S DOINGS.
ROBERTS.
The remains of Perry Roberts, aged
65 years, who died at University hos
pital, Philadelphia, were brought to
Emporium last Saturday by his son,
H. R, who went to Philadelphia be
fore his father died. His remains were
taken to his old home near Caledonia,
last Monday morning, for burial, the
following veterans of the civil war
serving as casket bearers: Hon. J. C.
Johnson, M. M. Larrabee, N. S. Cutler,
Joshua Bair and Geo. Piper. Mr.
Roberts has made his home here for
several years and while he was a great
sufferer from a complication of disease#
and wounds received during the civil
war, he battled manfully to the last.
He had only been in the hospital a few
days when his death occurred. The
old "vets" are rapidly passing away.
LEWIS.
MRS. MA RANIJ A M. MASON LEWIS,
aged 62 years, widow of Ex-Sheriff P.
E. Lewis, deceased, died at the resi
dence of her daughter, Mrs. Alex. Mc-
Dougall on Fourth street, last evening
at ten o'clock, after a long illness, suf
fering greatly from Bright's disease.
The funeral will take place on Sun
day at 3:30 p. m., from the home, but
owing to the weakened condition of
the building, caused by the late lire,
the'funeral will be private.ouly the im
mediate family and relatives invited.
Revs. Lux and Shriner will conduct
the services. Those friends desiring
to view the remains of deceased are re
quested to call before Sunday.
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.
' Pleasant Visitors.
Edward Losey and family, formerly
of Sinnamahoning, but for the past few
years have lived at Laquin, being in
