Hon. Chas. F. Barclay of Penn
sylvania.
"A Representative in Congress who
demonstrates his value as a careful
and consistent l«gisl itor In the inter
est of the country at large and his use
fulness to the citizens of his district
and state, is a man who should be con
tinued as a representative by his con
stituents as long as his worth ns such
remains in evidence."
This was a saying of Hon. Tom Reed
of Maine, while he was t-peaker of the
House of Representatives. He con
tended that it was unsafe and a wrong
proposition to keep at home a tried,
true legislator and send in his stead an
untried, inexperienced man.
The great State of Pennsylvania has
no more able and efficient representa
tive in the House than Hon. Charles
Frederick Barclay of the twenty-first
district. He has been through the
legislative furnace and has come out
pure gold. He is a ready and convinc
ing speaker, a hustling committee
worker i.nd is known among his col
leagues as a veritable enclyclopedia of
the great questions that have come be
fore Congress and others that are in
prospect.
Newspaper men at the Nation's Cap
ital—those keen observers of men and
events, who analyze the great ques
tions of the hour and diagnose the mo
tives of the men who make our' laws,
speak in high praise of Mr. Barclay
and his work in Congress. One of
them remarked recently,
"A failure to elect Hon. Chas. F.
Barclay would be in the nature of a
disaster to his country and a catas
trophe to his State and district. He is
one of the men in the House who has
'made good.'"
The voters of the twenty-first dis
trict of Pennsylvania are indeed for
tunate in having such a sterling man
to represent them with dignity and
ability in the galaxy of statesmen in
the big white capital at Washington.
He was elected to the sixtieth and six
ty-first congresses, and we believe the
good judgement of his constituents
will impel them to return him to the
sixty-second congress beyond the per
adventure of a doubt. The public men
who know Representative Barclay in
timately and well will swear by him.
He is their ideal of the real states
man.
In the Civil War Mr. Barclay served
i with that noted Pennsylvania com
j mand, the second "Bucktails," which
won glory for itself and the Keystone
State on many hard-fought and san
guinary battle-fields. He began his
1 military service as a private but came
out of the conflict wearing the bars of
a captain, earned by brave and dis
tinguished service in the face of the
enemy. Fellow-veterans of the G. A.
| R. declare that there was no more
brave and daring soldier in the Union
| army than Capt. Charley Barclay.
His regiment was the 149 th Penn
| sylvania Volunteer Infantry and he
j WHS a member of Company K. He
• was only mustered out of service when

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1910.
General I,« e surrendered at Appomat- ,
tox, and t he dove of peace again perch
ed upon the banner of this
coun ry, which he had to ably helped
Jh!3h
to save from dismemberment and per
haps final destruction.
As in war Capt. Barclay was a vali
ant soldier, BO in peace be is a man of
the hour and a legislator whose ac
complishments in Congress are both
numerous and valuable to hie country
and his State.
Captain Barclay is a Republican and
his home is in Sinnamahoning. Pa.
He was born May, 9, 1844, at Owego,
N. Y., and taken to Pennsylvania by
his parents when he was but a year of
age. His oarly education was gained
at the Painted Post High School and
the Coudersport Academy. He be
came a school teacher but relinquished
that calling for the more patriotic and
sacrificing one of soldier, entering the
Union Army togo the front in the de
-1 fense of his country and its flag.
At the close of the war he entered
Belfast Seminary, New York, and sub
sequently took up the study of law at
the University of Michigan. Later,
with an elder brother, he formed the
firm of Barclay Brothers, lumber deal
ers, at Sinnamahoning and carried on
an extensive trade.
Hon. Charles Frederick Barclay was
married to Miss Margaret A.L.Brooks,
daughter of John Brooks of Sinnama
honing, Pa., August 22, 1872.
He was a Presidential elector in
1892, and an alternate delegate-at
large in 1900, and as such voted in the
Republican National Convention that
year.
His entire lifetime has been marked
by consistent and worthy effort. He
is made of the stuff from which great
men are moulded and his host of
friends in Washington predict that he
will be awarded the well-earned honor
of serving many years yet in Congress,
where he has made his mark —and a
big, broad mark of merit at that."--

Sophomores Entertain.
The Parish House, of Emmanuel
Episcopal Church, at this place, was
the scene of a happy assemblage last
Friday eveuing, when the Sophomores
of the High School entertained the
Seniors and Juniors. The Parish
House was tastefully and beautifully
decorated for the happy occasion.
The evening was pleasantly spent in
contests and other amusement", af'er
which refreshments were served. The
members of the Sophomore Class are
very popular with their fellow stu
dents and are right there in Ihe line of
entertaining. All present report a
fine time.
Sunday Afternoon Accident.
Last isunday afternoon, while a
party was returning to Emporium
from Moore Hill, an accident, occured
which might have been most serious.
The party was composed of the Rev.
F. B. Schrlner, pastor of the Free Me:
thodist ctiurcti of this place, his wife
and son, Master Oliver, Rev. Roy L.
Brown, of St. Marys, and another gen
tleman of Renovo. The party had
driven to Moore Hill and as they were
returning to town, and were passing
the Card residence, the stay-bolt which
hold the tongue to the axleof the carri
age suddenly broke and dropped to the
ground, striking the feet of the horse
on the right hand side and a sudden
swerving of the wheel caused the horse
on the left hand side to jump. After
going the length of about thirty paces
the carriage was thrown on the bank,
but owing to the curtains on the carri
age being closed it saved the occcup
ants from being thrown to the ground.
The Rev. Mr. Brown was driving and
it was through his careful handling
of the team that a serious accident was
averted. When the horses broke
loose from the carriage Mr. Brown was
dragged over the dash board, and re
ceived many bruises, which are very
painful. The runaway horses were
' caught near the residence of Mr. Amos
Horning, by Mr. Horning and Mr.
Willingham, of Port Allegany, who
was his guest at that time. After pro
curing a horse and buggy, Rev. Mr.
Schriner and Rev. Brown brought the
horses to town, arriving here at mid
night. It certainly was a narrow es
cape, for if the acdident had happened
along the road a little further down
hill, the entire party would have been
thrown down over the embankment,
] and probably would have received
l serious injuries.
I™ ' '
Busy at Work.
A. H. Panting was a PRESS business
I caller Monday evening. "Heck," as
he is familiarly called, is hustling work
all along the line and informs us that
he is remodeling A. A. McDonald's
Fifth street residence—putting on a
new roof and about ready to add a
large veranda 17x37, large enough to
entertain a good size party. We are
glad to note our sedate citizen, is mak
ing his residence as attractive as
money will do.
Lost While Fishing.
A seven year old boy, named Earl,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Adams, of
; Kane, has been lost in the woods near
| Kane, since last Saturday. The boy
i had been fishing in company with three
I other boys, and disappeared. We
| have not learned if the lad had been
[ located, although blood hounds were
I put on his track. Parents should not
allow children togo fishing unless ac
j companied by parents. It is feared
the boy was kidnapped.

New Doctor At Huntley.
We are pleased to state that our
friend, Doctor W. Ray Smith, who has
been fitting himself for the practice of
medicine during the past four years,
has at last completed his studies with
the Medical College of Rlechano-Ther
py, the degrees being conferred on
him, by the University, on April 4tb,
1910. Doctor Smith left for Chicago
last Saturday where he will take a post
graduate course. Oa his return to
Huntley he will open an office for the
treatment of chronic diseases. His
office will be equipped with dry hot
air cabinets, vibrating chairs and elec
trical apparatus. Our friend is worthy
of commendation, being a gentleman
of good repute, as we found him after
several years of acquaintance; also a
christian gentleman. About four
years ago he graduated as professional
nurse and has done some successful
work in that line. We believe he will
make good as u physician. We wish
him all kinds of succeps.
