Very Enjoyable Party.
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Metzger, Jr., gave
a very elaborate whist last evenin? to
about sixty of their friends. Their
very handeome residence was tastily
decorated for the occasion. The third
lloor, admirably fitted for such occas
ions, was devoted exclusively for the
chief amusement—whist—while the
first and second floors were admirably
suited for entertaining a large party.
Whist continued until mid-night when
the guests were treated to a bountiful
course dinner, served upon tables
decorated with ferns. The occasion
was voted one of the most beautiful
and enjoyable occasions of the season.
The pleasant festivities closed about
one o'clock, bat not until Miss
G/ace A. Walker and Geo. A. Walker
favored the party with several choice
musical numbers, which were heartily
applauded. It certainly was a swell
reception aud Mr. and Mrs. Metzger,
no pleasantly and happily situated,
were congratulated by their guests.
The following guests were present:
Mesdames and Messrs. J. Paul Felt, G.
8 Allen, L. R. Felt, E. D. White, Jos
iah Howard, Guy S. Felt, Jas. Wright,
F. G. Jndd, Chas. Seger, E. E. Forbes,

Paving Rapidly Progressing.
£ C'ostello & Neagle, contractors, are
pushing the work on Broad street pav
ing and have a large force of work
men. It will be only a short time now
until the public will not be put to so
much trouble on account of the work
torn up streets, walks, etc. When
completed, Emporium citizens will
feel like kicking themselves for not
having done the work years ago, in
stead of squandering the people's
money on mud streets.
Preparing for the Fourth.
At a regular meeting of Moaotaineer
Hose Company, last Monday evening,
the following committee was appoint
ed to make arrangement* to give a
dance on the afternoon and evening of
July 4th, also any other amuaineuts
for the day: L. ft. Felt, K. M. Mc-
Quay, J. H. Kbits, Frank MuCloskey,
11. J Krskiue, W. O. Munaell and J. E.
Burnside. An enjoyable program can
be arranged at small expense. Prom Lit
work can make the day an enjoyable
occasion.

On Monday, the Keystone National
Powder Company, of this place, was
awarded a contract for five million
pounds of dynamite by the Panama
Commission. This is the second large
order to Cameron county, the Key
stone jnst closing a ten million pound
contract which has been repeatedly
increased very materially. The com

time after the ten million pound con
trct is closed next month.

Our Big Fishermen in Washington.
A friend writing us from Seattle,
Wash., under date of May 25th, says:
"Recently I was called to Darrington,
Wash., on business and to my astonish
ment met two good old friends of mine
and no doubt of yours too, both form
erly of Emporium but now residents of
the State of Washington—Edward
Dion, of Seattle, and Fred A. Hill, of
Everett, Wash. They were fishing re
cently In that vicinity. Ed. had at
that time caught thirty-six, the largest
meaauring four inches, and Fred, being
an expert, according to reports from
Pennsylvania, had captured only two
-the largeat measuring 2J inchea.
However, they both seemed to enjoy
it and were on their third day out. If
there are any charges for this item
present your bill to Henry Auchu and
make him foot the bill."
Fight News for Fistic Fans.
The fight for mercantile supremacy
in the drug service, is exemplified in
the present appearance of Emporium's
First Drug Store, while the apprecia
tion and satisfaction that the public
feels towards us is evidenced in our In
creased business. Emporium people 1
are faat beginning to realize that our
long experience coupled with scientific
training is essential to the successful
Interpretations of their doctor's pre
scilptions. Aud the doctors of repute
do not hesitate to recommend our store
becauae all that have taken the trouble
to Inform themselves know that we
handle and dispense ths beat pharma

Lee Lewis Writes to the Press.
Our very energetic young friend,
Lee H. Lewis who recently went to
Bayonne, N. J., to accept a position as
engineer of Bayonne City Park, writes*
the PRESS, under recent date, and says:
I "The PRESS camo to hand last week
and was a very welcome visitor as it
contained much news that interested
me. lam located at No. 22 W. ltttli
St., near the City Park which is one of
the finest in Jersey, on the shore of
Newark Bay. I have charge > of the en
gines and machinery in the Park. Be
tween my work and the mosquitoes 1
am busy. The "skeeters" are very
gentle fellows—about the size of your
hand, with jaws like Farmer Howard's
dog. This place is only a short dis
tance from New York; car fare only
eight cents via the Subway. Sunday
is the busy day here—everything open.
I have been unable to tell Sunday from
any other day since I have been here.
A large number of people from New
York, as well as other places, come
here to spend Sunday. The Standard
Oil Co., have their largest oil refinery
here on Constable Hook. It employs
thousands of men. There are also
other large industries here. The peo
ple, as a rule, are very fine, but like all
other places, you can find some of the
worst class. We even have to take the
brass off the engines at night to pre
vent it being stolen. If any of my
friends happen to come down to New
York, I would be pleased to have them
call on me at the above address. Be
sure to send the Old Reliable PRESS.
Yours, Lee H. Lewis, chief engineer,
Bayonne City Park."
Struck it Lucky.
The PRKHH is pleiised to state that the
Butler Oil Company, of which Joseph

Reporter: "The Butler Oil Company,
of which Will Bradley is manager,
brought in a pretty good well in the
Sartwell field last Thursday. The first
pumping secured sixteen barrels of
oil. It is also furnishing a pretty good
supply ot gaa. The company has the
Reporter's congratulations."
