A Vote of Confidence.
Every Cameron county voter should
mark hie ballot on Nov. 2d for every
Republican nominee and let it be a
vote of confidence in President Taft
and the Republican Congress for their
loyalty and persistent efforts, for
months, in their battle to secure that
protection to the industries of Penn
sylvania so essential to the welfare
and prosperity of our people; rescuing
as it did, within a short time, the
country from the grasp of the free
traders and "reformers." Every
reasonable voterj cannot help but be
proud of the heroic battle made, days
and nights, by United States Senator,
Bois Penrose and our Congressman,
Hon. Chas. F. Barclay, to brush away
the dark cloud hovering over the coun
try. Our fair land is on the steady
pull for years of prosperity far in ad
vance of any yet known in this coun
try. The wage earners and the manu
facturers appreciate this fact and will
this year vote, almost to a man, for
their homes and families, despite the
demagogues and alarmists. The great
reception tendered Senator Penrose,
last Saturday, by the employees of the
textile manufactories of Philadelphia
forcibly demonstrated the gratitude
the laborers feel for his gallant battle
made in their behalf. He is a giant.
Pleasant Outing.
A number of Sinnamahoningites en
joyed a delightful outing to Keating,
last Friday. The party consisted of
Mrs. Jos. Kinsley and child, Mrs.
Frank Fisher and children, Mr. and
Mrs. M. O'Connor and family and were
the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Shade and family. On Saturday even
ing, Mr. Philip Moyer gave a dance in
honor of the party, which was greatly
enjoyed by all. The music was furn
ished by Mr. Edward Shade and
daughter, Miss Ruth. After the dance
ali repaired to the parlor where they
enjoyed some excellent music render
ed by Miss Russler. The outing on
the farm was delightful, everybody
having an exoellent appetite, the good
cooking being of a high order, all re
turned home, too full for utterance,
and extend thanks to those kind
friends who so grandly entertained us.

The Fascinating Career of "Miss
Petticoats."
The heroine of this famous play
caught the attention of the play-going
public immediately on its production
at the great Boston Theatre, and made
a production hit because of her very
original and charming personality.
When first dramatized from the book
and produced at the Boston Theatre
about five years ago, it scored an im
mense success, and the critics were un
ananimous in pronouncing it "a strong
emotional play, full of wholesome
comedy and a quaint wit, that appeals
to an old theatre-goer." Therein was
the secret of the success of "Miss Petti
coats." It pleased the old habitue
of the theatre, who is look
ing for a new sensation, and found in
this original play that pungent; spicy
atmosphere which is like the real New
England people themselves, where the
play was laid. No more interesting
e ne can be imagined than the shores
of an old whaling port like New Bed
ford, where in the quaint cabin home
of a derelict whaler Agatha Benier
called "Miss Petticoats" as a pet name
by her grand-father, made her home,
until brought into the high and mighty
seats of the rich. She graduates even
from that set to the artistic circles of
Paris, where as the Countess Fornay
she creates a sensation, and finally re
turning to her native land, triumphs
over all her former enemies, who have
made her life interesting to her and
the audience. There are many droll
and unique characters peculiar to New
England, who furnish forth great fun
and frolic, that give the play a delight
fully fresh environment. A powerful
company, who carry their own new
and artistic scenery descriptive of these
fascinating scenes, will present "Miss
Petticoats" at the Emporium Opera
House, Saturday evening, Oct. 23rd.
Old Papers and Magazines for
Company M.
The boys of Companies M and L
have commenced collecting old news
papers, magazines, books, etc., for an
other shipment to Buffalo. Persons hav
ing material of this kindfor the boys
should notify Sergeant W. 11. Howard,
Jr. The boys will make collections on
Saturdays.
Messrs. Atkinsou & Thatcher pre
sent the great play of human interest,
Miss Petticoats, at the Emporium
Opera House, Saturday evening, Oct.
23rd.

Enjoyable Trip.
Mr. B. Egan, proprietor of Empori
um Furniture Company, returned last
Friday from a month's visit to his old
home at Johnsville, N. 8., where he
enjoyed himself visiting with old
friends and viewing the scenes of his
childhood. He also called at the native
towns of William Hathaway, Harvey
Tompkins and Ex-Senator Grady,
of Philadelphia. Mr. Egan went there
to transact some business and enjoy
the fine fishing and hunting and saw
more deer and moose in his home
county than there are sheep in Cam
eron county. On the Tobique river,
where he went hunting, most of the
hunters are from the States, in fact
Americanscontrol 66 miles of the river,
having the Btream chartered and
policed by forty uniformed policemen.
Mr. Egan returned home greatly bene
fitted in health and enjoyed his visit,
as well as his hunting and fishing out
ing. It must certainly be a grand
place for sportsmen.
Teachers* Institute.
The forty-third annual session of
Teachers' Institute will be held at Em
porium, Pa., Oct. 26th to 29th. Promi.
nent educators have been secured and
the day sessions will be interesting
and instructive, not only to teachers
but to parents and patrons of educa
tion as well.
Wednesday, Oct. 27th, two p. m.,
Prof. Albert T. Clay of the University
of Pennsylvania will address the insti
tute on the Bnbject, "The latest discov
eries in Bible Lands.
The evening entertainments are as
follows:
Monday, The Maude Willis Com

Fillett, harpist; Mr. Vedder Dunn,
baritone; Miss Genevieve Grosse, so
prano and Miss Maude Willis, reader.
Every member a star.
Tuesday, Dr. Dan McGurk, Lecture,
"The Kid Movement" Dr. McGurk
is an expert witness for the neglected
child. Dr. McGurk is one of the big
speakers. His very personality breaths
inspiration.
Wednesday, Laorant, the man of
mysteries, will entertain. Laurant's
entertainment is one mammoth "illu
sionistic" bonquet. I hope the word
"illusionistic" is good, for tde enter
tainment is certainly the big illusion.
"The Watches Flame" is a great fea
ture.
Thursday, Sig, Calefaty Victor and
his Venetian Band, composed of twen
ty-five members, accompanied by a
soloist, Miss Caroline Lewis, contralto.
To all lovers of good music, a great
treat awaits you. You'll not be dis

many crulsee. The Incident was When

K. G. E. Banquet.
Saturday evening, Oct. 16th, will
long be remembered as a red-letter
day for Cameron Castle's history. It
was celebrated by a boom session, with
six candidates all riding the goat, and
were made full fledged Eagles, with all
the powers to fly and scream. The
event was further celebrated by a game
supper, which the Lady Eagles prepar
ed while the candidates were riding
the goat. Mrs. Henry Morse as usual
held her post as cook in general, ably
assisted by Mesdames J. R. Straw
bridge, E. D. Krape, D. B. Peterson,
Jas. Leonard, J. Clark, Wm. Nunn,
Harry Moore and others. From the
way the Eagles devoured that game it
would indicate that the supper was
the greatest enjoyment of the evening.
Everybody seemed to do justice to the
meal, even if they may have done an
injustice to themselves. Over 60 per
sons partook of the fine feast and all
seemed well pleased. The following
Eagles were present: Rev. J. W.
Shank, Harvey Barger and wife, Harry

DEATH'S DOINGS.
REED.
The "grim reaper" of death has
again invaded our midst and claimed
for his victim an old and highly re
spected person and citizen of our Bor
ough by the death of MRS. ROSE REED,
wife of our esteemed townsman, Piatt
Reed.
Mrs. Reed has been a great sufferer
for the past eight years and had gone
far and wide in search of help, but
through it all she bore up bravely and
without complaining until death came
at last and put an end to her sufferings
and she passed peacefully away Mon
day morning, Oct. 18, 1909, at the
family residence on Spring street, sur
rounded by her entire family and a
number of friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Reed came to Empori
um from New York many years ago
and have resided in this vicinity al
most constantly from that time to the
present date. During their residence
here they have made a host of friends,
who deplore her untimely death and
deeply sympathize with the bereaved
husband and children in tfcts their
honr of terrible affliction.
Mrs. Reed raised a family of five
children, namely: Mrs. 1L R. Wbca
ton, Mrs. W. P. Wheaton, Mrs. W. P.
Utter, Samuel Reed, Miss Ruth and
Jessie, all of whom survive her and
were present at her bedside at the last
It is said that "death loves a shining
mark" and by the death of Mrs. Reed
the saying seems to be proven. She
was always going about trying to help
and comfort others and doing all the
good she possibly could.
Our profound sympathy is extended
to the bereaved husband and children
who are left to mourn.
The funeral was conducted from the
house and interment was made in
Wiley Cemetery, Wednesday after
noon, October 20, 1969.
"A treasured face from us is gone,
A voice we loved la stilled;
A place ia vacant in our hearts,
That never can be filled."
AN OLD FRIEND.
State Baptist Convention at Wil
liamsport.
Special to the Prest:—
The Baptist constituency of the State
of Penn'a, met in their annual conven
tion at Williamsport this week. The
sessions of Monday evening and Tues
day morning were devoted to the work
of the Ministerial Union. The attend
ance is very good though not as large
as was expected. The main address of
Monday evening was delivered by
Rev. I. N. Earle, of Lewisburg, his
theme was"The drama of history,"
beginning with the prologue of human
history as found in the Book of
Genesis. Dr. Earle traced the hand of
God down through the ages, reaching
the first great climax on Calvary and
pointing to the second climax which
will be the return of Christ to the earth
for a personal reiga. "The sublimest
event of the ages" quotes Rev. Earle,
"was the incarnation of God, God be
coming a human being, and ranking
himself as an historical personage."
The address was most masterly in
thought and aroused considerable com
ment. E. W. Powell, S. T. D., of
Phila., in an address on "Jesus and His
person," said that the two main ques
tions of the day are, "What do we
know about Jesus and His works?"
and "What do we think of Jesus and
His works?"
During Tuesday and Wednesday ad
dresses were made by such men as Dr.
A. J. Rowland, Philadelphia; L. W.
Hainer, Norristown; W. J. Lockhart,
Harrisbnrg; W. M. Walker, Scranton,
and J. E. Darby, Oil City. Mr. Lock
hart presented in a very vivid manner,
the tangible results of the work accom
plished by the Tabernacle Church of
Harrisburg, laboring among the Hun
garians and Italians.
Geo. T. Webb, of B. Y. P. U., inter
national fame, thrilled the convention
with bis report on the present status
of the young people's work and the
possibility of so educating and mould
ing the lives of the future church lead
ers that in a few years the church
would have a wealth of talen*, power
and finances at her command.
Tuesday evening a reception was
held in the parlors of the First church,
for the delegates. Wednesday even
ing the members of the stewardship
committees of the various associations
gathered in the Y. M. C. A., to enjoy
a supper and an address delivered by
Rev. John Moore, of Boston, Mass.
We regret that space will allow no
further report of this, which is conceded
to.be one of the best State conventions
ever held by the Baptist denomination.
Favored Steady Occupation.
There is nothing worse for mortals
than a vagabond life.—Homer.
In Memorium.
In loving remembrance of Lewis Car
man, age 17 years, one month and six
days.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled;
God in his wisdom has recalled,
The boom his love had given.
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.
Thy gentle voice now is hushed,
Thy warm true heart is still.
And on thy young and innocent brow,
Is resting death's cold chill;
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast,
We have pressed thy lovely brow,
And in our aching hearts we know.
We have no true friend now.
Peaceful by thy silent slumber,
Peaceful In thy grave so low;
Thou no more will join onr number,
Thou no more onr sorrows know;
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life ia fled,
And in Heaven with joy to greet thee.
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are o'er;
On the border there we left him.
Soon to meet and part no wore.
When we leave this world of changes,
When we leave this worid of care,
We shall find our missing loved one,
In our father's mansion fsir.
Yee, we've lost his truest friendship,
He has bid us all adieu;
He has gone to live in Heaven,
And his form is lost to view.
Oh, that dear one, how we miss him!
Oh, how hard to give him up I
But an angle came down for him,
And removed him from our flock.
It is sad that one we cherish.
Should be taken from our home;
But the joys that do not perish,
Live in memory alone;
All the years we've spent together,
/ All the happy golden hours,
Shall be cherished in remembrance.
Fragrant sweets from mem'rys flowers.
