I The fact becomes more potent every I 'Jay that a general hospital is of the ut- I most necessity at Emporium and our citizens should take tho necessary steps to that end at once and a suitable building secured for th-it purpose. Many hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars are annually expended by the afflicted of this county. Not a week 1 passes but we notice some of onr un ' fortunates being obliged togo to for eign hospitals and in a majority of cases the misfortune falls upon those least able to stand the expense, whilst at a home institution a less expense could be met without hardship. Tha larg9 number of hospital cases I our several physicians are compelled j to take to cities and neighboring hos pitals could be cared for at home just ! as well, thereby greatly assisting our j physicians, who no doubt would heart ! ily assist such an institution. We fetl j deeply for the loved ones whoarecoi •- I pelled to leave the care of dear ones ! and often suffer untold agonies before j they are placed in a hospit i, where i they have every convenieuce. i Tiie PRESS will gladly lend every ef j fort to have such an institution estab , lished here and shall give cur mite and time to that end. We should greatly th ink our readers for an expression of 1 their opinion upon this subject and we daubt not that more than one kind heirted lady or gentleman would con j tribute of their means and hands for I suffering humanity. | What say you, friendb? More Evident Daily. The continued unrest between capital j and labor appears to be on the increase ! and it is very evident, for the general j welfare of all interests, that a State | Court of Arbitration be established by I law and the decision of this tribunal to ' be final. Should this condition of af ! fairs continue in this country—broken ! contracts by botli'con tractors and tho j laborer, strikes, riot, bloodshead and I stubbornness—how long wilt this Re -1 public'stand? We hope some day to j see a just law placed upon our statue 1 b.>oks, one free of all corporate influ | ence or alied labor leagues, one that i will guarantee equal justice to all, and i impose a heavy penalty upon any firm, i corporation, or individual who may | violate a written contract. | The disgraceful performances in j Philadelphia, likely to extend to all I sections, may cause a completejdemorl | izatiou of businees and the losn of mil j lions in money to the families of the I laborer as well as corporations and j manufacturers. Rioters never stop to j think, or care, that every dollar's j worth of property destroyed they have ! to pay their share in taxes to the coun | ty in which the depredation iscommit i ted—providing they aro citizens.

New Process of Making Dynamite is Valuable One George Van Vert, Superintendent at Burton Powder Works, Has MadeTmporant Discovery. Frozen Dynamite can be Exploded George Van Wert, of 63 North Bea ver street, superintendent of the Bur ton Powder works at Covert's station, has just perfected a process by which frozen dynamite can be exploded with out the dangerous method of thawing it. The process will not only revolution ize the manufacture of this explosive, but will be the means cf saving scores of lives that have been sacrificed each year to the deadly practice of of thaw ing that is necessary when the explo sive freezes. The invention, while it is yet kept a secret, is such that its disposal to the various dynamite companies should make Mr. Van Wert a rich man. Dynamite, like liquids, will freeze and before it can be used, it is neces sary to put it in an oven or on a stove and thaw it out. The toll collected by death from explosions in doing this has | been tremendous. Ever since dyna rgite has been manufactured, experts in this line, have been trying without success, to manufacture dynamite which might be exploded without dan ger. The attempts have all failed and the news of Mr. VanWert's success will be important. By bis process dynamite in any state can be exploded As noon as the idea is patented the s> crtt will be announ ced. Until a certain temperature is regis tered, dynamite is not dangeroi s, but once the heat overreaches a certain mark, it explodes. The danger of thawing the explosive has always been gre.it, but the deaths that have been caused have resulted mostly from in experienced foreigner* doing the wo k. Mr. VanWert has worked on the pro cess for many years and it was only last week that be succeeded in explod ing a mass of the frozen stuff. The teat was successfully made near the Burton plant.—New Castle Press. ClarenceQuinn, an Emporium boy, who is employed by the Burton Pow der Co., sends us the above article, through our friend, Mr. E. T. Welle. Geo. W. VanWert, being a former Em porium resident and has many friends here, we all are pleased to hear of any thing advancing his interests. "Onr Geo." is deserving of anything good that may come his way.
