Another of our oldest citizens has
gone to his reward in the great beyond,
Mr. George Chapman, of Sterling Run,
paused away last Sunday afternoon,
March 6th, 1910, caused by general de
bility, at the advanced age of 95 years.
Deceased was born at Dunnstown,
Clinton county, Pa., on Sept 7th, 1815.
moving to Lumber township in 1826
with his parents, who made the trip
from Lock Haven in a canoe, that
being the regular mode of travel in
those days During his early days in
this county he worked at his trade as
carpenter but later turned his attention
to lumbeting and farming Mr. Chap
man was married Oct. 16, 1845. to Miss
Susanna Wylie, of Gibson township,
who Hurvives him A son was born to
them, who died last year,
George Chapman, was a gentleman
of exemplary character and habits. In
his youth he united with the Methodist
Episcopal Chuch and remained a faith
ful member until his death, serving as
| trustee of the church at Sterling Run
ever since its organization in 1871. He

TROTTKK.
Early .Monday morning. Mrs. HANVAII
THOTTKII passed away, in her Tilth year,
it being j UK t three weeks and two days
since her faithful husband, broke >. down
with years and constant care of his help
less wife, was bourne to that resting]
place from whence no traveller returns. [
The patience displayed by this terrible I
sufferer, being entirely helpless for many
years, her bright and cheerful Christian
disposition amid her agony is beyond
conception. Surrounded by every care
and comfort, provided cheerfully by
friends her unfortunate lot was eased as
much as possible. Our readers, at least,
many of them, have for years
been conversant with the circumstances
of the misfortune and a generous public
have aided the ladies of Emmanuel
Church in earing for Mr. and Mrs. Trot
ter.
Death was a welcome relief to the suf
ferer. who peacefully passed away.
Funeral services were held at Emman
uel Episcopal Church, of which the de
ceased was a communicant, Tuesdaj
afternoon. Rector, Rev. J. M. Kobert
son delivered an able sermon and made
a lesson of the Christian fortitude dis
played by the departed. We only wish
we had the space to quote his remarks,
believing as we do, that his words would
give many a better idea of the myster
ious workings of God.
A special choir composed Mrs. T. F.
Moore, Miss Alice Montgomery, Geo. A.
Walker, W. 11. Howard and W. S. Ster
ner; Mrs. Howard, organist, rendered in
a beautiful manner several selections.
The great respect manifested upon this
occasion by members of every denomina
tion in town spoke louder than words
of the respect in which the departed
lady was held. The afflicted family
seemed to touch a sympathetic cord in
the hearts of all, regardless of creed.
Funeral director B. Egan had charge
of the funeral.
Robt. Graham, of New York city, late
secretary of the Temperance Society,
died on Monday, at one p. m. Deceased
was brother in-law of the late Mrs. Trot
ter.

Mus. MAGGIE CAVANAUGH, aged about
70, died at the residence of her daughter,

Mark's Catholic, yesterday morning and
was very largely attended. High Mass
was celebrated after which Rev. Father
Downey delivered one of his able ser
mons. touching upon the true Christian
character of the deceased. Mrs. Cavan

I resided here for over forty years when
she and her husband moved to Williams-

Another Old
SeUler Gone.
WILLIAM LIWIS ENSIGN.
One by one the old settlers are pass
ing to the "great beyond." In the death
of William Lewis Ensign, aged N(> years,
seven montht and six days, it removes
one of the oldest land marks of Portage
township, if not of the county. In Erie
county, N, V.. July 28th, IX2:< he made
his advent into this world and at the age
of fourteen moved to Cattaraugus Coun
ly, N. V., with his parents, and in 1.547
moved to the farm on the Portage, where
he lived and died, respected by all who
knew him. Mr. Ensign was the only
son of twelve children, all being dead
but one sister, Mrs. L. Lueore, who re
sides on the old hame farm. Mr. En
sign and Mr. Lueore married sisters.
On May 2. 1.X54, lie was married to
Miss Melissa Lueore. To this union
eight children were born—four daughters
and four sons—but now only one daugh
ter and three sons are left, to console
their good mother, viz: Datus W., of
Emporium; Alva L., Sinnamahoning;
Mrs. Clara Wesley, Sugar Grove, Pa.,
and Edgar, who resides at Florence,
Montana. All were present at the bed
side of their respected parent but Ed
gar, who could not get here.
Deceased we were intimately aequint
ed with, he being one of the first men
we remember as a boy. We always ad
mired him for his strict integrity, won
derful progressiveness and genial dispo
sition. We regretted our inability to be
present at his luneral and pay that last
mark of respect due him and his excel
lent family. When only a boy, we re
member hearing how he built the road
from Emporium to the county line, in
the early sixties, and how he was com- j
polled to pay several thousand dollars
more than his contract on account of the !
war prices. But he fulfilled his con
tract, and suffered his loss. Energetic
to a fault, he continued active, even after
lie was too feeble to work his farm, tak
ing up canvassing for books and nursery
stock. Never sick or confined to his bed
for a day, he kept at it always until his
vitality had spent its force, his clock had
run down, he muttered, "Jesus, Lover of
My Soul," clasped his faithful help
mate by the hand and gently shaking it,
passed over the river, peacefully.
THE FUNERAL.
The funeral took place from the old
home on the Portage, Monday after
noon and was largely attended. Rev. J.
\\ . Shank, M. E. Pastor, conducted the
services and in his usual able manner
delivered an appropriate eulogy. A
quartette of singers from Emporium
consisting of Mrs. Kackeiunaster, Miss
Elizabeth Crandell, 11. A. Cox and Mr.
Stoughton beautifully rendered hymns,
"Jesus, Lover of My Soul," "Lead,
Kindly Light," and "Asleep in Jesus."
Funeral director C. W. Rishell took
charge of the remains and silently the
cortege wended its way to the silent
city at Sizerville, where he joined loved
ones gone before. "Blessedare the dead
who die in the Lord."

Delightfully Entertained. _
Mr. and Mrs. M. H, Leadbetter de
lightfully entertained a number of Em

at their Rich Valley "Lawn View" farm.
This excellent couple have certainly

people, never deeming it a hardship In

The Standard Oil Company.
(Published by Request.)
The Standard Oil Company is .• ;>
American institution.
It deals in an American product. I
supplies this product in its various
forms to consumers in every country
in the world, except those countriei
which have passed prohibitory tariff
laws, and thus have barred comp<ti
tion, not being able to meet it.
The, Standard Oil Company is the
largest employer of labor in the world.
In average times it gives work directly
to more than eighty thousand men.
lis daily pay roll is more than one hun
dred fifty thousand dollars
Most of its equipment is the inven
tion of Americans, and its beat and
highest paid chemists and engineers
are Americans, although it has search
ed the civilized world for talent and
skill.
The Standard Oil Company is our
largest exporter ofAmerican products.
The money pumped into the United
States from foreign countries for
American products through The Stand
ard Oil Company's financial pipe-lines
is LWO hundred fifty thousand dollars A
day. This money at once finds its way
through all the channels of American
trade. Europe has oil-fields as exten
sive as those in America. There are
oil-fields, in Persia, Bulgaria, Burma,
Ceylon, Australia, New Zealand, parts
of South America, and the Balkans.
Yet The Standard Oil Company could
set <J its products to all these countries
at a profit, if not shut rut by a tariff.
The competion of tfco world fades be
fore it, because it is organized on a
scale and in a way that no foreign
competitor is.
It is organized or. the Arnei Scan plan.
In Oriental couniries individual ef
fort hi ill largely prevails. In Italy,
Spain and Egypt, wells are drilled by
hand, and pumps are operated by digi
tal prccesfe. The use of the "grasshop
per connection-rod," which pumps a
dizen or more weils by the use of one
engine, was recently forbidden in Tur
key, because, forsooth, "Allah is great,
and Mohammed is his prophet, and a
pump like that will throw the Faithful
out of work "
The argument that the forty men
thrown out of work could be used to a
better advantage elsewhere met with a
shrug of doubt, and the remark: "Al
lah bo praised, if they work at this,
tbey will not have to work at that."
CAPITAL AND INVESTMENT.
The Russian oil-fields are about as
big as those in America. The largest
combination of capital under one man
agement in the oil business in Russia
is one million dollars, and it is a won
deroski. There is not a single million
aire in Russia, outside of the Czar and
the Grand Dukes, and they do not
count, since their business is consump
tion and waste, and not production.
The capital of The Standard Oil
Company is one hundred ten million
dollars. And very much adverse criti
cism has been brought forward be
cause it pays forty million dollars an
nually in dividends, or, say, an inter
est on capital of forty per cent.
This, like most half-truths, is mis
leading. The fact is that, while The
Standard Oil Company is capitalized
for one hundred <ei. million dollars, its
investment in plant and equipmeut is
about seven hundred million do liars.
In figuring percentages, the per
cent of dividends should be calculated
on the assetts, and not on the nominal
capitalization.
Think, say, of the Chemical Nation
al Bank!
It should also be noted that, while
The Standard Oil Company pays forty
million dollars a year in dividends,
the amount it yearly pays out in wages
is fifty millions.
The yearly amount of its business is
about eighteen hundred millions, so
its profits on the business done are
about two and one-half per cent.
The Standard Oil Company owns
one hundred twenty iron-tank steam
ships that are employed in its foreign
trade.
It also owns ten thousand miles of I
trunk-line pipe-line, and eighty thous- j
and miles of contributory or feeding
lines. One small item of its assets is j
twenty thousand tank-wagons, used in
supplying consumers.
Oil property is subject to great deter- i
ioration, in the fact that wells are con- I
stantly growing dry, and districts may |
be producing actively today, and to- I
morrow may be dry holes'. In such '
cases the pipe-linr s are of so little value
that they are often simply abandoned
and no attempt :s made to remove
them.
A DECENTRALIZED INDUSTRY.
The Standard Oil Company owns a|
controlling interest in about fifty re- j
fining companies Most of these were !
