Interesting Letters From Hon. George
J. Laßar and Wife.
On Hoard tlio Steamer "Cleveland,"
Friday, Oct. 22, 1909.
DEAR FRIENDS AT HOME:—
This is our first attempt to write
more than to one friend at a time but
having so many to whom our thoughts
go out to, as we think of those who
wero at the depot the night wo left
home, and are sure there were many
who were not there at that time to bid
us good bye and God speed. Wo could
not write to all, excepting in this way,
and believe you will read in the spirit
it is written, as friend to friend. We
hear lectures on board this ship and
talks on places we are going to visit;
many here have already been to most
of the places. I would, if I could, bor
row some of the talent on board the
Bhip that I might take all with us in
imagination and almost see them, as
some lecturers we have listened to
have done, on the places we are to
visit. If I could, I would not want to
return it, I fear, and just here for the
benefit of our school girls and boys,
whose privilege it may some time be to
take this or similar trips. The more
education we have the more we can
112 ;et from traveling, and youth is the
time to accumulate that greatest of
fesrtunes that cannot be bought, bor
rowed or stolen.
The "Cleveland," the ship on which
we are sailing, is truly a floating palace.
So immense is it that wo know little
more of our neighbors or what may be
taking placo in another part of the
ship, than we would in a city. There
are four dining rooms. We have seen
them all, but the one in which we aro
seated is very large, seating about two
undred. There are beautiful parlors,
'levator and dance hall. Each six
o'clock dinner is served in courses, so
beautifully served, and if we do not
have all we can eat and drink and en
joy the grand music at dinner and
were every where, we cannot blame
management of this boat. Lunch
served between each meal if we wish,
ne gynasium is of great interest, es
•ecially to|fleshy ladies who wish to re
duce their flesh. There are horses to
ride and many other things for exer
cise. I think if I could see the ship at
a distance to-night I would see a lovely
sight, lighted all around the deck with
different colored electric lights, while
those who love dancing are engaged
in that and others who care more for
lectures have that pleasure. Flags of
every nation are draped around the
ack.
The first morning on the ship was
Saturday morning, one week to-mor
row, and we have been sailing, since
we left New York City, amid music
from this and other vessels, it being
the first trip of this kind and quite an
event. This is Friday night and we
expect to reach Madeira on Sunday,
some time. I must tell you the lovely
sound that greeted our ears last Sab
bath morning when we heard
"Nearer My God to Thee," played by
the band before we left our rooms. To
those of us who are unaccustomed at
being between sky and ocean, the
sound struck a responsive chord.
On Sunday morning, we had preach
ing services and in the evening, prayer
and song service. We heard a very
good lecture on Madeira last night. I
will repeat a story he told us about a
man who was taking his first trip on
the ocean and being on for a short
time. It began to be rough and ho was
quiet alarmed and went to the captain
who assured him there was no danger
but it became still rougher and again
he went to the captain who told him he
would show him the point of danger,
togo with him. He led him down to
the hold, where men were playing
cards, drinking and swearing and told
the man that when these men cease
that there was danger; after which he
passed the captain making several trips
and at last being still more alarmed
made another trip and finding them
still swearing turned and said, "thank
God they are still at it." Friday we
lassed near a school of spouting whales
.ilso porpoise and a number of flying
fish, also one sea turtle. All the
marine life we have seen in 2500 miles,
the weather has been very fine all the
time; have not seen a vessel of any
kind since leaving New York City, in
fact we seem to have the ocean all to
ourselves and such ajolly good natured
set of people I never saw; all seeming
to vie with each other in trying to be
nappy and make others so. Mr. J. P.
Felt and Mr. Mattison are well and en
joying the trip. We four are cosily
situated at one table, where we meet
three timea a day for our meals. This
is Saturday morning, October 23. and
we are expecting to see land to-mor
row, after which we will tell you about
Madeira.
Respectfully,
MR. AND MRS. GEO. J. LABAR.

DEAR FRIENDS AT HOME:
Here I am seated in my little room
making another effort to write to you,
quiet out of my sphere I assure you
in every way, Not liking the water,
hut having no other sight outside the
ship, except gazing at the moon which
is one thing all can see each night,
We reached Feunchal, Madeira at
nine o'clock, Sunday morning, October
24th. The first sight after viewing the
Island at a distance, unable to compre
hend its beauty, was the numerous
small boats, each having one or more
divers and begging the passengers to
throw money into the water, that they
might dive after it. They claimed
they could not see a penny, it must be
live or ten < . :u:. Th \vei\ I , !

are worn smooth. Thtv use clods
drawn by oxen, in which wo
had the pleasure (?) of riding, after
which we mounted the steep hill, or
mountain, in the only steam cr tl.<•.
place affords. I wish 1 could dt ic.ibe
the beauty of the mountain, with it's
terraces and wall lattices and eot<ngf»,
all covered with beautiful vines and
flowers. We had lunch on top of this
mountain, cooked by the natives (of
course I enjoyed it) after which we de
scended in a sled in which were Bents
for two only, with a rope attached to
hold the sled from running too fast.
Two men were guiding the sled down
the long winding road, walled on
either side, and also made of cobble
stones in ridges forming steps. It was
a strange sensation and I am Bure the
men earned their money, if they do
want all they can get. They carry
those sleds up the mountain on their
backs. We met many going up as we
were coming down, each with a sled
looking almost impossible for men of
their size to carry. We did not have
time to visit the Mission, as I should
liked to have done. Some of our
party, who had vfsited the Island be
fore, had time togo and hear a good
sermon and hear eight little Portugese
girls sing in their own language. The
building is nicely situated, just back of
the public park.
We had only time to take the boat
which brought us to the "Cleveland"
after which we were soon on our way
to Gibraltar, which place we reached
at twelvo o'clock. I could scarcely
realize we were passing the shores of
Morocco, Africa, on one side and Spain
on the other, both in sight. Tangier
if not far distant also Taraffa, from
which comes our word tariff as the
Moors use to make all passing ships
pay a tariff begorre they could pass. I
just saw a whale spouting as he passed
the vessel. Not far distant is Trafalger
bay where Lord Nelson (I think it was)
had his terrible naval battle with the
French.
We are now riding at anchor and
take lighters and land on the great
Rock of Gibraltar, which towers 1460
feet in the air, and is truly a wonder
ful eight to behold and must be seen to
be appreciated. We were t to fortunate
as to secure a carriage to see the sights,
bnt find they will not let Pa- 4iirtqe of !
the fortifications but we are told that
there are 30 miles of tunneling inside
the rocks and we could see the port
holes through which the guns of old
England oould speak in every direct
ion, and immense guns on the very
top. In order to get water to supply
the garrison and town, as it is some
times and at present has not rained for
a year, we found they have cemented
out side of the rock to catch the water
and turn it into immense reservoirs
We are much impressed with the place
and the people with their loads of mer
chandise on their heads and on their
donkeys carrying bottles of water and
milk, there being no other conveyance
than one horse carriages and donkeys.
One of our party rode a donkey. He
said he wanted tbem to take the
baskets off but they would not do so,
so ho rode with them on but was un
able to sell any of the produce as they
wanted it too cheap Having seen
about all we conld of the place we told
the driver to cross over to Spain, as
this is the only chance we wiil have to
see the land of the Don. We did not
see a whole lot but it was interest
ing to us. Lots of beggars following
us all the time, asking for pennies (two
cents). I never saw so many one arm
ed boys and all pointing to the stub to
gain our sympathy, but we 6oon dis
covered that they doubled their arms
at the elbows and shoved them in their
.shirt sleeves in that way. You can
rest assured they got no alms. A small
urchin wanted to Bell me a canary bird
for a sixpence, so the guide told me. I
gave the boy a penny. He proceeded
to cut the string to which he had it fast
ened willing to take the penny rather
than none. I told him I did not want
the bird. It was good to hear his bois
terous laugh as lie realized th it he had
bird and penny both. We visited the
bull ring, as that seemed to be the only
point of interest. Nothing more to
Bee, as our time waß limited, we return
ed to the wharf, paid our driver took
the lighter for the "Cleveland" and
turning out of the harbor and around
the "Rock" started on our trip through
the Mediterranean, on which wo aro
now on our way to Naples, which we
expect to reach about Friday noon.
Love to all
Respectfully,
MR. AND MRS. GEO. J. LABAR.
"Ma's New Husband."
"Ma's New Husband" spells mirth
in the very title. Talk of love under
difficulties; this three act musical farce
furnishes more difficulties in half an
hour for a pair of lovers than are or
dinarily encountered in a courtship
that lasts several years. And the
crowning virtue of the obstacles in this
case lies in the fact that they never
call for tears, except when the exces
sive laughter evoked brings them to
cool cheeks aflame from risable exer
tion. All this, and more, has been true
of the appearance of "Ma's New Hus
band" in other cities, and theatre goers
here will have an opportunity to judge
for themselve, when the piece will be
I presented at the Emporium Opera
| House, Tuesday evening, Nov. 23.

permits have already been granted
this season, besides campers who are
e inping on state lands. One party ar
rived last Thursday, and are well sup
plied with the necessary refreshments,
having 30 kegs of beer, two casks of
whiskey and two eases of old rye. It
took four teams to deliver the outfit to
the camp. All of the others are well
provided with "snake bite" medicine
and "anti-toxine" for buck fever. Dr.
Corbett took the temperature of sever

was away up.
O. L. Bailey moved to his camp on

DEBSE
A Great Event.
The Mountaineer Hose Company,
No. 1, are sparing no effort to make
their Thanksgiving dance a great sue
cess and in view of the extensive ad
vertising they are doing, we feel that
this will surpass, by far, any dance
given in Emporium heretofore. The
management informs us that several
hundred electric lights of various col
ors will be used for decorating purpos
es and that especially arranged electri
cal features will be used in connection
with a number of their dances. This
together with the excellent supper and
music whichthey are promising, should
make this dance attractive and enjoy
able for both old and young.
The Mountaineer Hose Co., the pion
eer fire organization of the Borough,is
composed moßtly of young men who
aro always ready and willingjto re
spond to a fire alarm. During the
past year they have expended several
hundred dollars for improved fire
fighting apparatus we feel that every
property owner, insurance payer and
in fact every resident of Emporium, as
well as visitor, is indebted to these
boys for their support and patronage
at this dauce.
"Ma's New Husband."
To know when, and when not to
laugh has made many a man's and
many a woman's fortune. One of the
i rare exceptions, which proves the truth
lof this; is, "Ma's New Husband."
j This screaming musical farce does not
I give you time to exercise discretion.
I It forces you to laugh, whether you
; like to or not, and to laugh all the
| time. In fact it is a depository for un
limited laughs on which you draw con
stantly for two hours and thirty min
' utes. See it at the Emporium Opera
; House, Tuesday evening, Nov. 23.
Basket Ball.
Last Friday evening marked the
; opening of the basket ball season for
| Emporium and was between Renovo
and tho home team. The result
!ed in a victory for Renovo, by the
i score of 37 to 22. The game game was
I well played by both teams. On Satur
j day evening the local team went to
! Eldred and were defeated by that team.
! Next Friday evening the Emporium
i High School will play the Renovo
High School at Renovo
"Lena Rivers."
The presentation of "Lena Rivers"
i which is to be made at the Emporium
; Opera House on Thursday evening,
Nov. 18, should prove highly diverting,
i It would seem as if every one had
' read Mrs. Mary J. Holmes' book, and
I it would also seem as if every one who
! has done so, wants to see the play
dramatized from it.
Popular Production Coming.
"Lena Rivers" will be produced at

MRS. HOWARD DIES
AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Widow of Late Lumberman and
r'romiiient Mason was honored
Through City for Her Charity and
Goodness of tfeart —Remembers
Williamsport Institutions.
fWilliamsport Bulletin, Nov. 15th, 1009.|
Mrs. Amanda E. Howard, widow of
the late William Howard, a former
prominent lumberman of this city,
died at her residence, 1139 West
Fourth street last evening at 8:40
o'clock.
Mrs. Howard was associated with
l!:e charitable interests of Williams
port and was honorary life president
ol the Ladies Auxiliary of the Bald
win II Commandery, Knights Temp
lar. Funeral services will be held at
Trinity Episcopal church on Wednes
day afternoon at 3 o'clock—to which
friends are invited.
Mrs. Howard had been ill for some
time and for several weeks sought to
regain her health at Atlantic City.
Mrs. Howard will be always remem
bered by the people of Williamsport
for her good works, and it is under
stood that many charitable institutions
of this city will be benefitted by her
will. Friends of the dead lady say
that she has substantially provicled for
the Williamsport hospital, and that
among other memorials to her charity
in this institution will be a free bed.
CARRIED OUT HUSBAND'S WISH.
It was through the instrumentality
of Mrs. Howard that the wishes of her
husband, the late William Howard, re
garding the erection of the Howard
Memorial of the Scottish Rite Cathe
dral in this city were carried out.
Daring the last days that the late Wil
liam Howard lived, he planned, with
leading members of the Masonic fra
ternity for the erection of the memor
ial, but before he gave the money, or
provided for the erection of the struc
ture in his will, death called him. Mrs.
Howard knew of the wishes of her
husband, and in consultation with
members of the fraternity assured
them that she desired a portion of his
estate set aside for the memorial. In
order to put the matter on a firm legal
basis a friendly suit In equity was in
stituted aid Mrs. Howard testified to
the wtahefrlft her husband aud told of
a verbal agreement he had made with
the Masonic body here.
As a result of her action the mag
nifioent memorial in East Fourth
street was erected and stands as a
momument to the generosity of her
husband and of herself..
Our citizens, very generally, deeply
regret the death of Mrs. Howard, who
resided in Emporium for many years
and was highly respected. She came
to Emporium in the fall of 1868 from
Mehoppany, Wyoming county, Pa.,
her birth place, with her first husband,
Frank Crane. Her maiden name was
Ross and was a niece of the late Judge
Solomon Ross. After the death of hor
husband, by strict economy and ex
cedent business judgement, she accu
mulate considerable property.
About sixteen years ago, she mar
ried William Howard, now deceased,of
Williamsport, to whom she was a wise
lielp-mate. We knew her intimately
and enjoyed, in a measure, her confi
dence. Deceasrd leaves four sisters
and one brother. Her funeral took
place at Williamsport yesterday after
noon from Trinity Episcopal Church
and was very largely attended, a num
ber from this place attending.
Another Emporium Boy Makes
Good.
Nothing delights us more than when
we see an Emporium boy climb up the
ladder and many, very many, Empori
um products are now occupying posi
tions of honor and responsibility. The
last, but not least, to enter the race for
postition in the world, is Don M. Lar
rabee, of Williamsport, who was re
cently selected as secretary of the Wil
liamsport Board of Trade, a very ex
acting and responsible position. We
congratulate our friend, feeling that
the PRESS wr.s a little bit responsible
for his walk-ahead gait, he having
been with us for two years. While
speaking of his appointment tho Wil
liamsport Bulletin, the neatest and one
; of the most ably conducted dailies in
the state, says:"lt not only places the
! position in capable hands, but it enlists
in the service of Williamsport a young
man who has everybody's confidence.
Mr. Larrabee is well known among
business and professional men. llis
standing as a lawyer is unimpeachable.
He has the four essentials of energy,
enthusiasm, progressivenesß and pop
ularity, and there can be no doubt of
his ability. Thus equipped, ho enters
Williamsport's service with a deter
mination to do all that lies within his
power, which is much."
As Solid as the Rock of Gibraltar
Bank Examiner W. J. Robertson
visited Emporium last Monday on his
semi-annual investigation of the First
National Bank. Of course he found
our banking institution one of the best
in the state aud ranking with the lead
ing banks of the sountry. The large
assets of the First National Bank, now
almost one million dollars, is a self
evident fact that the public has faith in
its safe, sane and judicious business
management.

"Lena Hivers."
When Nixon & Co., decided to put
out a production of "Lena Rivers,"
dramatized from Mrs. Mary J. Holmes'
novel, they immediately engaged Miss
Buelah Poynter, to make the book in
to play form. Miss Poynter made a
careful study of the book and then de
cided to visit the scenes of the book,
as the story is a true one in a great
many respects. This play will be pre
sented at the Emporium Opera House,
Thursday evening, Nov. 18th.
