That Breach of Promise Case.
The Mock Court Trial, to be given
under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid
Society of the First Presbyterian
Church, in the Opera House, on Satur
day evening, A-ril l"'b, promises to be
an event of unusual interest.. Judging
from newsparer reports of similar en
tertainments, conducted by the pre
sent management it would seem to be
one of the most amusing things now
offered for public patronage.
It will be, in the first place, an exact
reproduction of a court scene in meth
ods and procedure ard on this ac
count will be extreoily interesting to
ladies and others, who have never at
tended a real trial.
Best of all will be the refined fun of
the whole affair. With Hon, George J.
Laßar presiding over the court, Miss
Xitnema Brooks appearing as the
broken-hearted plaintiff, Arthur Orton
as the defendant, Col. Newton preisecu
ting the case anel Capt. J. C. Johnson
defending the accused, to say nothing
of the brilliant array of court officers,
witnesses and jurors, it is pretty cer
tain we shall have all the comedy and
reality of a court scene and enough
wholesome fun to la-it a whole year
Indeed, it is predicted by those in
position to know, that from the open
ing of the court to the close of the case
the auidence will be kept keyed up to
the point of convulsions by the unique
proceedings.
Wit, pathos, eloquence, laughable
local hits and vagaries will be drawn
upon without stint to keep up the cur
rent of merriment.
As an entertainment of innocent fun,
conducted with mock dignity and with
out the shade of offence to refined
tastes, the Mock Trial will be as men
tioned;above,an event cf unusual inter
est. The following are the rest of the j
participants:

Are You a Paint Maker.
You don't have to be one in order to
mix your own paint when you have a
house to paint. Its mighty easy to buy j
4 gallons of L. & M. Paint, and 3 gal
lons of pure Linseed Oil, and put both
in a large pail and mix well together. !
You will then make 7 gallons of the '■
best paint at a cost of about $1.30 per
gallon and then have a good painter '
paint your house.

Hospital at Emporium
a Necessity.
One of the greatest moves to institute
a Hospital at Emporium, was made a
| couple weeks ago, when the PRESS
came forward with a letter announc
ing its intention to do all in its power
to establish one here. Its worthy
editor had gone so Tar as to locate the
building and secured the nicebsary
data to push the enterprise i.l >ng. As
we all know, the proposed locution,
building, etc., is all that can bo wished
! for and the co-operation of the various
enterprises in this section which he
; Ins secured, certainly makes the p»o
--| position one not to be easily thrown
; away. An institution of this kind is a
| necessity here and, as we all know,
1 many an unfortunate individual has to
i die simply becauoe he or she has not
the speedy and proper care that they
should have and would have were it
possible to take the patient to a hos
pital at once. Just a few instances as
this world make the entire town feel
glad.
Of course such things cost money, but
if properly managed it could be gotten
in proper running order without injur
ing any one financially. I sincerely
hope the people of this town and
county will forward, as I know they
will do, and help as best they can
to make this movement a success
W. H. Busu, M D.
Emporium, Pa., April 6th, 1910.
Our people, very generally, we are
pleased to note take kindly to the hos
pital proposition. Let us ALL put our
shoulders to the wheel and boost this
laudable project. While there is hard
work connected with it, we must re
member that we are working for suf
fering humanity and Dot to pile up
wealth. As soon as some matters can
be gotten into proper sbape it is hoped
a meeting may be called of all inter
ested parties No one person nor a
dozen, can pull off this great public 1
necessity. All must unselfishly work
j —including the ladies. The PRESS
would like a public expression from
more of our citizens.

DEATH'S DOINGS.
EE2EJ

MRS. ELIZA PARKER, wife of the late

i deuce, East Allegany Avenue, on Fri

Francis Setrling, died at her home at
Sterling Run, Pa., March 31, 1910, age
70 years, eight months and 13 -days

p. m., Saturday, April 2nd, at the
lamily residence. Rev. J. M. Robert
son, Rector of Emmanuel Episcopal
Church, of Emporium, officiated, as
sisted by Rev. Ebersole. A selected
choir reudered a touching and impres
sive service of song. A large delega
tion of friends and relatives gathered
to sympathize with the bereaved family
in their irreparable loss. Mrs. Sterling
was a faithful christian, loving wife
and mother, devotedly attachad to her
family, who in return lavished unfail
ing care and tenderness upon her, who
suffered with a patience and meekness
almost without parallel. The casket
bearers were Messrs. Wright, Harvey,

of Williamsport. The sympathy oftbe
entire community is with the
sorrowing family who have lost one
whose place can never be filled. In
closing we can only say, "He givcth
His Beloved Sleep."
Wheeler's South Island.
To the average man, an outing oi
one day carries with it great pleaßnre,
but when we are fortunate enough to
have a whole week of such pleasure it
inspires UB with new ambitions and
breaks down the barriers that have us
hedged in the work-a-day world. Such
inspirations and ambitions were onr'a
last week when we spsnt our outing at
South Inland.
South Island is (situated about twelve
miles below Georgetown aud can be
reached easily by land or boat and
comprises an area ot twenty-three
thousand acres. It is bounded on all
sides by water, viz: Santee River,
Santee Canal, Winyaw Bay and the
Atlantic Ocean. It is by far the great
est piece oi property on the Atlantic
coast, abounding in all kinds of game
and fish.
South Island was bronght into note
by such men as President Cleveland,
Admiral Evans and others, whose an
nual visits were not only enjoyed by
them but were looked forward to by
the rice field darkies as one of the
greatest events of their livee, and
even now they tiike great pleasure in
pointing out to you where "Mas Cleve.
land" stayed.
Mr. Wheeler now owns both South
and North Island, comprising some
thing over thirty thousand acres, which
includes all buildings. A conservative
estimate will place the number at one
hundred, and the most of them good
old dwellings.
Mr. Wheeler is one of those big
hearted, wholesoul, jolly fellows, who
makes you feel at home aud with ease
all the time, and his wife shares equal
ly with him in her cousideration and
attentions to the guests. She is a
splendid type of the capabie and intel
lectual American woman, yet with all,
modest and unassuming.—The Marion
Star, March 30,1910.
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wheeler will be
remembered by the residents of Em
porium and vicinity', having formerly
lived in this place, where they have a
host of friends who will be pleased to
hear from them and of their popular
ity in their Southern home.
Sweet's Play Pleases.
George Sweet's play, "A Messenger
Boy," presented it the Elks' theatje,
last evening, pleased a fair audience,
all the performers being of a very
clever brand. In fact the play deserv
ed a much bettor house than greeted
them.
Without a doubt the band and
orchestra carried by Sweet is the best
heard here this season, barring none.
Should Manager Sweet return next
season with his excellent company and
musicians he can be assured of a bet
ter house and a hearty welcome—
