Editorial Comments.
Col. Roosevelt is pouring "hot stuff" |
into the minds of the old world as he |
hurries for America. He has a won
derful storehouse of good sense, and
some ridiculous nonsense, especially ,
his "hobby" of large families. We do |
not believe in placing, or referring to
i the mother as a polific breeder, or the J
father as a boar. There is altogether j
too much printed and Bpoken upon
this sacred subject. In times gone by, j
such events were spoken, or referred j
to, with abated breath, and not liken
ed unto the creatures.
It is ridiculous.
Now that so much is being written
throughout the Nation relative to the
Congressional timber to be floated be
fore the people this fall lor Congress,
it behooves all citizens of Cameron
county, in fact every voter composing
this .Congressional district, to think
well: Will it not be safer to trust their
interests with a tried and true Con
gressman, such as Hon. Chas. F. Bar
clay has proven himself to be? We
confidently expect the re-nomination
of Capt. Chas. F. Barclay at the Uni
form Primaries to be held June 4th.
The interests of the entire county are
safe as long as such men are kept in
Congress. Cameron county should,
and we believe will be, a unit for the
"Buoktail" Congressman, Chas. F.
Barclay.

Burned By Gas.
Miss Kate Market, who is employed j
as second cook at Hotel Warner, had a
narrow escape last Thursday after- j
noon, from being seriously burned by
gas. It is the same story repeated so
often, the gas being turned off and
then by passing the stove touching
tbe key and turning it slightly. When
Miss Market went to light the gas in
the oven, preparatory to getting ready
for Bupper, there was an explosion
which was heard distinctly on Main
Street. Miss Market was burned quite
badly on the face and hands, and the
burnß are very painful.

only chemically pure colors are used,

production of White Lead Paint made

Miss Bertha Smith Drowned.
Special to the Fresn:—
SINNAMAHONING, PA , APRIL, 25, 1910.
Miss Bertha Smith, daughter of J.
H, Smith, of First Fork, was drowned
in the First Fork Creek, to-day about
noon. The scene of the accident HUB
about five miles from this place. The
young girl was accompanied by Wi Is
Barton, who is about twelve years of
age, and together they started to crows
the stream on a foot bridge, on her
way to her grand parents At the
sime time a couple ot' young men were
crossing the bridge on their way to
Mr. Wennin's. They were si 11 on tht
bridge when it gave way and droppe I
them all into the »woollen stre.iv.
Mia* Smith was seen by one of tho
young men, who was clo>e to w/.ere
•he came up, and he saw her hink
never to rise again. The boy swam
about a quarter of a mile and caught
onto the brush and saved himself from
a watery grave. One of the men who
could not swim managed to get a i iece
of board, which kept him iifloat until
he was rescued, about a uniie below the
bridge. Searching parties have been
along tho creek ever since the sad ac
cident happened, but no trace of the
nmning girl can be found up to this
date, as the stream was very high
and the body may have gone a great
distance down the stream. j. R. b
Ridgway's Big Fire.
Last Snturday morning about 1:15,
fire of unknown origin, started in the
llvde-Murphy plant at Ridgway and
before the firemen could check the
blaza it had completely consumed the
big plant, spread across the street con
suming several buildings in that sec
tion. As soon as the magnitude of the
fire was ascertained Dußois, Johnson
burg and St. Marys were wired to send
aid, to which all responded. The fire
wiped out one of the principal indus
tries of the town and cleaned out six
of the business houses, destroyed sev
eral dwellings and buildings used as
department houses and did other dam
age. The estimate loss is about one
half million dollars with about half of
that amount covered by insurance.
Fifty-two visiting firemen took break
fast at the Bogert, Saturday morning.
These visitors rendered invaluable as
sistance during their stay there. Both
the Pennsylvania and the B. R. & P.
R. Companies were of great aid to
! the town of Ridgway during the fire,
! by giving trains to carry the firemen
! and apparatus from Dußois Johnson
burg and St Marys. It is expected
[ that most of the burned buildings will
be rebuilt at once.
Graduating Class Entertained.
I Mr. Earl MacDougall was a host at a
j class party given at his home last
] Thursday evening to the members of
j the Graduating Class of 1910. The
I rooms were tastefully decorated
| in the Class colors, orange and black
j and the High School colors, red and
i white, making a very pretty effect. The
i favors were pink roses. Messrs. Ed.
! Baldwin and Joe McNarney were suc-
I cessful in capturing the first prizes in
; the contests of the evening, while
; Misses Ximena Brooks and Helen
I Cook. After a most delightful even
; ing bpent in new and up-to-date past
-1 times, an elaborate luncheon of six
courses was served. Earl never does
anything by halves and as a host is
j most successful, making his guests
feel perfectly at home and thereby af-
I fording them a good time.

We are reliabty- informed th e Em
porium Iron Company will possibly go
out of blast within a few days for the
purpose of repairing the plant, which
will no doubt take some weeks to make.
Of course the workmen will be given
employment on the new work. Mr.
Andrew Brady went to New York last
night and upon his return will know
just what changes will be made. We
all hope this important industry may
grow to be as important as the Home
stead plant and its energetic manager.
Mr. Andrew Brady, may become as
wealthy as Mr. Carnegie.
