Washington's Birthday
Celebration.
Washington Camp, No. 382, P. O. 8.
of A., honored the memory of the Na
tion's hero, Washington, by atter ding
services in the M. E. Churoh last Sun
day evening. Rev. J. F. Anderson, pas
tor of the church, who is a member of
of the Camp, preached a most excellent
sermon, to a large and appreciative au
dience. Following is Rev. Anderson's
discourse, "George Washington:"
" Astronomers have grouped the stare
into constellations so that into some
ninety such groups all the heavenly
bodies are included. The visible stars
are the graded and classified according to
brilliancy. The brighest ones are known
as stars of the first magnitude, the
others as of the second, third, and up to
the sixth magnitude, the latter class
being mada up of those least visible to
the unassisted eye. While in the latter
groups there are unnumbered stars —
stars of less brilliancy, there are only a
very few that occupy first place—less
than twenty, possibly only sixteen, stars
of first magnitude. There are millions
of the lesser lights.
So are men divided and classified.
They are grouped into constellations.
They shine with varying degrees of
brilliancy, from the first to the sixth or
xixtieth degree of magnitude.
Here in the American constellation,
with the United States as a sub-division
there are many brilliant stars. The
names of fifty-six of such flash like dia
monds from their settings in the Declara
tion of Independence, where they have
been engrossed, each by the hand of its
author. There are many other brilliant
and glorious stars flashing from the
the pages of American history upon
which we cannot fix our gaze at this
time. But blazing forth from the
American constellation there two stars
which outshine all the rest—stars of
first magnitude their names are George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
Viewed from the standpoint «112 patriot
ism and statesmenship they are easily
first, and must ever hold a place at once
unique and glorious in the history of this
western world and in the affections of
the people of the United States. In the
minds of many persons these two names
are about of equal importance, and it
may be a debatable question as to which
of them holds the preeminence. Both
of them were men of Providence, raised
up for a special purpose—the perfor
mance of a stupendous task, and God
was not disappointed in either of them.
The task of one being, the emancipation
of the American colonists from the op
pressions of a foreign power and the
formation of a new Nation and of a new
government ; the task of the other
being, the emancipation of the colored
xlaves of this Nation, and the preserva
tion of the Union, when the ship-of
rttate was going to pieces upon the rock
of slavery. The task of the one, the
founding of a nation ; the task of the
other, the prevention from disintegra
tion of that nation.
We put the name of Washington first,
not that we concede to him superior
statesmanship, patroitism,or intellectual
ity to that of Lincoln, for in some par
ticulars he was hardly the latter's equal,
but we put Washington first, because he
gave to the world a new birth of free
dom—founding a nation upon the God
given rights--"inalienable rights of life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
and a Nation to-day second to none
other on the face of the globe.
We venerate this name as we do no
jther American name, for Washington
has been rightlully recognized,and worth
ily titled, "the father of his country."
His native modesty, his immaculate
goodness, his singleness of purpose, his
uoblility of heart, his invincible courage,
his dignity of bearing, his unchanging
devotion and loyalty to his country, the
• andor and soberness of his thought, the
trustworthiness of his deliberative mind
and the accuracy of an unbiased judg
ment, the sublimity of his character, the
inflexibiltity of his resolve, his undisput
ed and undoubted purity of patriotism,
and his massive manhood, have won for
him the euconiums expressed in the un
dying werds of the resolutions adopted
at his death, "First in war, first in
lieace, anri first in the hearts of his
countrymen." Numerous writers have
expended their best efforts in trying to
delineate the character, and chronicle
the deeds of this illustrious citizen.
Liberally have the best of these bio- I
graphies been translated into the differ- •
ent languages, so that peoples of all na
tions have become conversant with the;
life of this incomparable American pa- !
triot. Not only does the Capitol of j
then.' United States bear his name, but I
une individual State bears his name.

Those Court House Bonda.
EMPORIUM, PA., FEB. 17TH, 1910.
EDITOR OF THE PRESS:—
The Independent, last week, had an
article which I suppose was written by
the Editor, commenting on the sink
ing fund, to pay the Court House
Bonds. As the statement ia very mis
leading, I thought, as a tax-payer, who
keeps in touch with the way the county
money is handeled, I would give a
statement of the sinking fund as it is.
The Court House Bonda were issued in
1890, and a two mill tax was levied to
pay them, but up to 1898 there is no
record that there was any money set
aside for the sinking fbnd. In that
year there was $20,000.00 refunded and
the balance of the Bonds paid, which if
memory serves me right, was |3 t 000.00.
These were refunded at 4 per cent, the
oounty to pay the State Tax. The
Bonds are due in 1922, but can be paid
at any time after 1912. Now, the first
time that the Auditors' Report gives
any account of the Court House Fund
is:
For the year 1898, balance due,.... 9 40 13
For the year 1899, balance due til 87
For the year 1900, balance due 1,173 09
For the year 1901, balance due,.... 1,914 51
For the year 1902, balance due a,MS 10
For the year 1903, balance due s,MO 84
For the year 1904, balance due,.... 4.883 U
For the year 1905, balance doe 5,883 3ft
For the yea * 19M, balance due T,a#3 83
For the year 1907, balance due,,... 5,a42 95
For the year 1908, balance due,.... 10,378 00
For the year 1969, balance due,.... 11,741 09
By this it will be seen that the fund
to pay off the Court House bonda is
$11,741.09, instead of $7,000.00, an stated
by the Independent. It will also be
seen that it only lacks $25.81 of gain
ing as much in the last four years as it
did in the eight previous years It
will be seen by this that there will be
enough in the fund to pay off all the
Bonds in 1918. That will be six years
before thoy are due.

A Brilliant Function.
Annual Banquet of Elk County
Bar Association Graced by
Wit, Oratory and Music.
B. W. GREEN GUEST OF HONOR.
I Ridgway Daily Record, IStb.j
The annual banquet of the Elk Coun
ty Bar Association, held at Tbe Bogert
Hotel last evening, waß recherche in
every respect Nothing of finer quali
ty in its line has ever been attempted
in Ridgway, and the event was one,
which to employ a hackneyed expres
sion, "will long be remembered by
those participating." The committee
having the arrangements in ebarge
spared no pains in planning the affair,
and tbe management cf the Bogert
Baw to it that tbe hostelry's end of the
program was carried out to perfection.
The large dining room was brilliantly
lighted and the tables were handsomly
decorated with smilax and red roses.
The service was splendid and nothing
seemed.wanting to complete the occa
sion. BeautifUl and entrancing music
was rendered by the Cosmopolitan Or
chestra, and tbe Aerial Quartette, con
sisting of Harry Mead, Jack Collins, E.
J. Weis and J. W. Jepson, rendered
a number of selections, Mrs. J. W.
Jepson acting as accompanist. The
members of tbe orchestra occupied
seats behind an embankment of palms
and potted plants in the rear end of
the dining room. The musical pro
gram carried out was as follows:
March, "Teddy's Bears" Roosevelt.
Reverie Escosius, "Autumn Br»esea," King.
Quartet, "Doau Ye Cry, Ma Honey,"... Noli.
Walts Dc Concert, "A Southern Dream," Lin
coln.
Vocal Solo, James Jepson, "The King of The
Winds," Trevelyan.
Selections, "Gingerbread Man," Sloan
Quartet, "Sailing Song," McDonoagh.
Intermezzo, "Cupid's Garden," Eugene.
Vocal Solo. Harry Head, Selected.
Overature, (Grand Opera.) "Poet and Pea-
Von Soppe.
Vocal Solo, Jack Collins, Selected.
Caracteriaque, "Pretzel Pete." Durand.
Spanish Walts, "Sllhonttes," fomroy.
Quartet, "Winds Are Hashed," Thatcher.
Overture, (PUJtm). "Flora,".. Schlepegrell.
Two Step, "Sweetheart," Pryor.
Medley, Overture, "Plantation Echoes,"....
Boss.
Fantasia, "Birds and the Brook." Staltz.
The guests were delighted with tbe
music. In both quality and quantity
it was extremely gratifying. The ren
ditions by the quartet and the solos
by Messrs. Jepson, Mead and Collins
proved most pleasing and won many
compliments for tbe singers.
Tbe menu was in keeping with the
character of the occasion, and it is
needless to state, like the music and
the singing, was heartily enjoyed. It
approached such perfection as to re
flect great credit upon the Bogert
management, chef, and others who
had to do with its preparation, and
was discussed by tbe members of the
bar and their ladies in a way that
showed how well they are able to ap
preciate "a good thing" when it is
spread before them. The ladies re
ceived special favors of sweet peas and
lilies and the gentlemen of roses.
Judge Harry Alvan Hall, president
of the Elk County Bar Association,
acted as toast master, and none needs
to be told that he proved more than
equal to tbe occasion. One of tbe
items on the bill of fare was "roast
Clinton County Turkey, Cranberries,"
and tbe judge raised a laugh when he
declared that he felt inclined to regard
this as a reflection on himself. It will
be recalled that His Honor shot one of
the Clinton county birds last fall. The
turkey served was all right, anyway,
no matter whether it was wild or do
mesticated or from what county it
came.
The oratory that flowed in response
to the toasts was eloquent and witty
and added additional zest to the even
ing's enjoyment. "These Annual Ban.
quets," was responded to by W.A. Mc-
Clure, the Johnsonburg attorney and
editor. "Tbe Democracy of Justice ;
the Jury," was the theme assigned to
George F. Greiner, F. W. McFarlin
responded to ' The District Attorney,"
and W. W. Barbour to"The Outlook
for the Young Attorney."
Hon. B. W. Green, of Emporium,
the guest of honor, closed the speak
ing in an address dealing with matters
of interest and concern to the associa
tion, and which was one of the even- '
ing's features.
In addition to Judge Green, those j
present as guests were : Judge and i
Mrs. Harry Alvan Hall Mr. and Mrs. '
E. H. Baird, Judge and Mrs. T. B. Gil- j
louly, Mr. and Mrs W. W. Barbour, j
Mr. aud Mrs. G. F. Greiner, Mr. and t
Mrs. R. B. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. j
W. A. McClure, J. M. Schram, Mrs. F.

> Los ANGEI.ES, CAL , FEB. 16TH, 1910.
, DBAK FBIBNDS:—
( We have Dot written a word sinct
we landed in Ban Francisco, BO WF
' guess we will try it now. We did not
stay long in San Francisco, it being to<
cold for comfort there. We thought
we would go oat sight seeing to tb<
i Cliff House and Seal Rocks, so I put 01
my heavy fall overcoat and storm coa
on top of that and did not find it anj
too warm at that. We concluded wt
had enough of San Francisco weathei
and palled out and went down to Pasc
Rabies Hot Springs, thinking it woul<]
be warmer there. We went to th«
largest hotel there and stopped for one
night, took breakfast next morning,
shivering all the time we were eatiug.
That did not suit us, so we struck oat
to find some rooms, with a fire in them,
that we might control the beat. We
found the rooms but bad to sleep with
out a fire the first night. We thought
it was pretty <r «n. Took a walk
aroand, after getting up, to see what
was going on and found three-eights of
an inch of Ice in n watering trough.
Well, that did not look good to us, bat
that day we got a stove in the room
and soon went to housekeeping. Then
we got along very nicely, with some
good old home cooking, hut I was
afraid the Mrs. was getting too fleshy,
so after a week, (during whicli time I
was taking the mineral hot baths, just
as the water came out of the ground,
to get into) we pulled up stakes and
oame to Los Angeles, Gul., and find
the evenings and mornings quite cold.
Have done some sight seeing here but
find it quite cool, only in the middle of
the day and in the evening. They will
not tarn on the heat until we are all
shivering or set around with overcoats
on, which a great many do. We have
not been out without overcoats and
furs. Don't want you to understand
that it is below zero, or anything near
it, butsomehow it seems se penetrating
and almost every one you meet is com
plaining of oolds. The people tell as
this is very anasal,until it has become a
Joke with us, after hearing it so much.
They tell us it is warmer at Redlands
and if that is not warm enough togo
to Yama, for that Is the hottest place
ou earth. We start In the morning for
Redlands, so good bye for the present
Yours Respectfully,
MR. AND MRS. GEO. J. LABAR.
Judge Harry Alvan Hall Delivers
Interesting Address Before an
Audience of Men at Kane.
Commenting on Judge Harry Alvan
Hall's address delivered at a meeting
of the Men's club of St. John's Episco
pal church in that place Tuesday night,
the Kane Republican says he "enter
tained the gathering delightfully for
an hour or so recounting some of his
experiences and observations while
traveling abroad, especially his exper
ience while at Constantinople on a
mission for the Austrian government,
describing an interview with the Sul
tan of Turkey, and any number of in
cidents both entertaining and instruc
tive. His views on the Mohammedan
faitb and the Macedonian massacres
gave his hearers a different Idea on
those subjects than they have ever
had before. Judge Hall is certainly a
very cultured man, and one to whom
It is H pleasure to listen and it is to
be hoped that the club may have the
pleasure of listening to him farther
at some future time."
