y. IHE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 43 Golden Wedding Celebration. One of the most unique and at the name time impressive weddings that the county has ever witnessed was celebrated by Peter F. and Marcelia Hope at their home in Btowell, Wyom- Pa., on Thursday, Sept. 3, What makes the wedding remark able is the fact that an unusually large family of fourteen children, being equally divided, seven boys and seven girls, all living and well, were on hand to help them celebrate. The little Catholic church at Stowell, beautifully decorated, was tilled with friends and relatives to witness the ceremonies. Rev. J. J. O'Donald, with a specially engaged choir from Pitts ton, sang a high mass, during the cele bration, of which the contracting parties went through with (being re married as it were) the beautiful cere mony connected with a marriage in the Catholic church. One of the most remarkable things in connection with this wedding is the fact that all of the fourteen children, although scattered far and wide, have retained the faith of their parents and assembled with them around the little altar to give thanks to God and to re ceive with them the sacrament of the church in the form of holy communion. After the church ceremony the friends of the parties assembled at the borne of the parties where the real festivities of the occasion began. All day long congratulations were receiv ed mail,telephone by and telegraph and from people who drove for miles. The immediate family consists of fourteen children and forty-five grand children and not only filled the house but most of the surrounding yard. After the wedding dinner the picnic grounds be longing to the congregation of St. Anthony's Catholic church wore en gaged and thrown open with an in vitation to the public in general. Hundreds enjoyed this part of the pro gram, dancing to the music of Pralev's orchestra, and eating and drinking un til the small hours of the morning. Special mention should be made of the fact that to the Rev. J. J. O'Don ald is due a great deal of credit for the success of the affair. He not only preached and appropriate sermon after the mass, but he partook of the dinner, after which he delivered a neat little speech calling the attention of the friends and the whole world in gen eral to the fact that a large family is no burden, financially, pysically or moral when received in a proper "spirit and sanctioned by the grace of God. Most of this numerous family live in the near neighborhood of their par ents: The girls are Lizzie Corcoran, of Stowell; Anna Schultz, of Wilkesßarre; Mary Malloy, of Stowell; Susan Murray, of New York; Catherine Bag gott and Margarite Brown, of Sugar Run, and Madge Hope at home. The sons are Chrisopher, of Mildred; Ber nard of New York; Edward and Fran cis, of Wilkes Barre; Bart, of Lovelton; Charles and George at home. As the celebrants are very well off so far as the world's goods are concrned, they made a special request that no presents should be sent; so if they re ceived any they hid them away as none were visible to the writer. Peter P. Hope, one of the subjects of this sketch, was born in the village of Longwood, County of Meath, Ireland, on April 30th, 1830, thus making him 79 years of age. Landing in New York in 1853 he went directly to the place where he now resides and with the ex ception of a few years spent in Cali fornia has lived there ever since. He tells me that he has chopped from the primitive forest and cleared up at least 20 acres of land for each and every child he has raised, making a total of 280 acres or a greater part of the beautiful and spacious farm where he now re sides. Peter P. is the name familiarly ap plied to this man of the numerous family and by the name he has been well and fovorably known, from one end of the county to the other. Not being inclined for politics, he has re fused the nomination for every office within the gift of his party. Mrs. Hope was born, raised and mar ried in North Branch township where she has spent her whole life with only the cares and worries attending the birth and raising of such a large family. She was married in the little log cabin of her parents by the Rev. Father Anthony Felix, an Italian priest, who journeyed from Wilkes Barre on horse baok to perform this marriage, and to attend to the spirit ual welfare of the handful of Catholic people who were the pioneers in a vast wilderness of what is now one of the most beautiful farming localities in the county.—Tunkhannock, Pa., Demo- ! crat. Mrs. D.C. Hayes, nee Elezabeth Riley ; one of Emporium's highly respected j ladies, attended the golden wedding, being a sister of the "bride." Saw the President.

A donation is planned in the inter est of Mr. and Mrs. Orrin Easterbrook, who live in the west end of Emporium, for Friday afternoon and evening of this week, (Oct.Sth) As many persons are aware, Mr. Easterbrook has been an invalid for several years, and there is practically no income. Contribu tions in the way of cash for rent and gas, groceries, canned goods, fiour, butter, lard, potatoes, fruits, etc., sent to this worthy family will be greatly appreciated by them. Send direct to their home, or, if more convenient, to Mrs. Downey, corner Fifth and Vine streets, or placed in the class room of the Methodist Episcopal church. Grocers, no doubt, will be glad to de liver any purcchases made at their stores for such purpose. No persons will be asked especially but all will have the opportunity of helping a little in making this family a little more comfortable for the winter. Through the kindness of the PRESS this notice will reach all persons and the move ment made general. Remember the date. (Signed,) J. F. ANDERSON, Pastor First Methodist Episcopal Church. Murderers Captured. From the Manilla Times, P. 1., we copy an account of the capture of two murderers by Lieut McNarney, broth er of District Attorney McNarney of this place: MALABANU; June 19—One of the best pieces of work recently accom plished from this post was the arrest by Lieutenant McNarney of the 6th U. S. Cavalry of Pokattoaand Manumoya. These two Moros were responsible for the death of Itoadmaster Smith, who was killed about a year ago by a band of Moros who surrounded his house, and it is believed he was shot mortally before he could utilize his own fire arms. Lieutenant McNarney was en gaged in making a topographical sur vey of the region surrounding Camp Vicars and, while rowing in a vinta along the lake shore, which he was sketching, one of his pany shot at a hawk. This frightened Pokattoa, who was evidently in a small dug out, for he suddenly shot out of a small cove into the lake This man was the brother of Smith's wife and had been living for the past year or since the murder, in caves and trees, being an outlaw who was being sought by the civil, military and native authorities. By a simple but effective piece of strategy he was induced to get into the vinta occupied by the serveyiug party, and being recognized by Datu, was siezed and brought in. Through in formation given by him his brother-in law was secured the same night, and both are now awaiting trial at Marahui Benefit Supper. A supper will be served in the Read ing Room, Tuesday evening, October 12th, at five o'clock, until all are serv ed. This will be a warm supper and only cost the small sum of 25 cents. The proceeds will be for the benefit of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Trotter. Icecream will be served extra. Tickets will be on sale at the door and it is hoped that a goodly numher of Emporium people will be present to assist this worthy old couple. Any one wishing to donate supplies for the supper can do so and please notify Mrs. Bennett Leutze, who has charge of the arrangments, assist ed by other ladies. The very feeble condition of this aged couple should enlist the sympathy of all. Moved to Canada. Mr. O. B. Barnes and family have moved to Amherstburg, Ont., where Mr. Barnes fills a prominent position ofSupt. of a dynamite plant, owned by Dunbar & Sullivan Dredging Co., j who are digging a channel seven miles j long, in Mioh. While they are in Can- | ada, it is only a short distance from j Detroit. Their many Emporium i friends wish them well in their new j home. The Mighty Bear Hunter. Allen Russell, of Shippen, is the I champion bear hunter of this county, ■ without a doubt. He started in the I first 'bear day" and brought his bear- I ship to Emporium selling the same to j John T. Howard. Last Saturday he delivered another in town. We en- j joyed a nice bear steak, presented us j by Mr. Howard, and we found it delic- ! ious, the best ever. We never really ] cared for bear meat until eating this, but honestly, it was fine. Renovo Commercial College. Bookkeeping. Shorthand, Typewrit ing, Penmanship, Commercial Law, Correspondence.

R., on the divisions be tween Erie and Renovo, assembled at Erie last Monday and on Tuesday were taken over the line on a special train accompanied by railroad officials.

About forty of the one hundred mem bers of Mountaineer Hose Company, No. 1, gave one of their popular Smok ers and Lunches, at their rooms in City Hall, last Tuesday evening. After a social time of two or three hours a good lunch was served by W. J. Ander son, the Broad street caterer, which was washed down with steaming coffee —no intoxicating drinks being per- ' mitted in their rooms. After 'all had J partaken of the feed, President Jas. M. Davison, who was chosen toast-) master, called on many of those pres ent for remarks, Mr. A. C. Blum, one of the eldest members, being the first to spout in regular Roseveltian style, full of good cheer. Among other things he informed those present that he was pleased to tell them that the Firemen's Relief Fund contained over $600.00, at interest, for the benefit of injured members—Mr. Bium having given this branch of Emporium Fire Department his especial attention. Hon. I. K. Hockley followed Mr. Blum in his usual style and closed his address by addressing his remarks to Presi dent Jas. M. Davison, who was great ly surprised when he was presented with a handsome gold watch fob, a testimonial from the members in appre ciation of his untiring efforts for years in furthering the best interests of the company. Mr. Davison, who was greatly surprised, returned his thanks in a few words. President Davison is popular wuh the boys and to his energy, more than any other member, falls the credit for the efficient com pany, now comprising over one hund red members, composed of our best fire fighters—always ready to respond to duty. After remarks by ye editor, Dr. Mitchell, Leon R. Felt, Jason Loucks, A. M. Haupt, Foreman Burnside, Sec'y G. A. Klees, and many others, whose names we forget, the pleasant evening was brought to a close. The M. H. Co., boys are all right and can be re lied upon to protect your property. Called to Philadelphia.

Teachers' Institute, a l'he Forty-third Annual Session of the Cameron County Teachers' Instl , tute will be held at Emporium, Pa., . Oct 25th-29th, 1909. This promises to 1 be one of the very best sessions ever r held. A strong corps of day instructors has been secured, while the evening j entertainments are all of a high order, each one the very beat of its kind that could be procured. The Maude Willis Company is one of the ablest and happiest combinations } the American platform. The Com pany consists of Miss Maude Willis I reader; Miss Genevive Grosse, soprano; | Mdle Hortense Gilbert, harpist; and l Mr. Vedder Dunn, baritone. Every I member a star. Dr. Dan McGurg, who has made his way to the top as a Minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, will give one of his famous Lectures. Laurant, the Magician and Company, will present a program of mysteries al most beyond description. Sig. Calefaty Victor and his Vene tian Band, consisting of twenty-five members are the delight of all who hear them. The Band is assisted by a vacal soloist, Miss Caroline Lewis, con tralto. We are assured that no disap pointment awaits the lover of good music. Emporium High School Athletics. It will no doubt be of interest to our citizens to learn of the efforts which are now being manifested by the teach ers and students of the High School, for the promotion of athletics in this institution. For several years, the need of athleties in our High School has been greatly felt but, thus far, all attempts at organization have been unsuccessful. With the present pros pects, however, the Emporium High Sshool will equip a basket ball team which '.will'do credit to it itself, as well as the town. The students and faculty have organized an Athletic As sociation and the following officers were elected: President, Prof. W. G. Briner; Vice President, Edwin Bald win; Secretary, William Howard; Treasurer, Prof. C. E. Plasterer. The association has elected Prof. R. H. Edgar coach of the team. Mr. Edgar's experience and ability in this work will be of very great value to the team. Last year Mr. Edgar had charge of the South Fork, Pa., High School teara and won wide reputation, for himself and team, as a basket ball coach. Under the management of Prof. W. G. Briner, the association is at present negotiating with surrounding high schools for a schedule of games. It is to be sincerely hoped that our citizens will support this movement, whenever opportunity affords, for the value of athletics in any high school is very obvious in those which now possess ! them. Former Emporium Kids Make Good. The Secretary of the Navy has ac cepted Edward Viner as an apprentice at the Annapolis Naval Academy. Viner was the successful candidate at the recent competitive examination held at Newburgh and his appointment was recommended by Representative Bradley. Viner's brother, Joseph, is now in West Point, having secured an appointment from this district. These bright young men are sons of William Viner, manager of the Arden Farms Dairy Company, at Arden. — Goshen, N. Y., Republican. The young men, above named, ure sons of Mr. and Mrs. Wm, Viner, form er residents of Emporium, and their evident prosperity will be read with pleasure by their many friiends here. We can gratulate the young men, as well as their parents. Why do not some of our young men prepare them, selves and enter the contest from this district. Photographs October Only.

It will certainly be ! j deiightful but the coming home in ! j December will be horridly disagree- j I able. SABBATH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION. Thursday, October 14, a Big Day at the State Capital. Until within the very recent past the Sunday school was looked upon as a place for the instruction of children but the advent of the Organized Adult Bible Class has changed this old fash ioned notion and men and women are now found in the Sunday school in large numbers. The organization of Bible classes for men and women has taken the form of mighty movement in Pennsylvania and the State is feeling the influence of it from one end to the other. Thursday, October 14th representa tives of these classes will assemble in Harrisburg in connection with the an nual convention of the Pennsylvania State Sabbath School Association, which meets Oct. 13-15 and hold a big demonstration in the interest of the Organized Adult Class Movement.

Some of them have already announced the number that will take as follows: Lebanon, 500; Berks, 500; Philadelphia, 500; Fayette, 126; West moreland, 100; Lycoming, 100; Blair, 100, Cambria. 100.
