Representative Howard
Booms Knox for Gov.
Now that the people have spoken at
the Primaries, they very naturally, are
turning their attention to the forth
coming State nominating conventions
and many are the names presented for
Governor by their admirers.
The following we copy from Phila
delphia Inquirer, wherein Hon. Josiah
Howard, of this county booms Attor
ne> Goneral Philander Chase Knox for
Governor:
"Philander Chase Knox is the man
to nominate for Governor," declared
Representative Josiah Howard, of
Cameron county, who was renominated
on the Republican ticket for the As
sembly on Saturday, and who arrived
in town from Washington last night.
Representative Howard is close to
Senators Penrose and Oliver, but does
not assume to speak for either of them
in picking Knox for the Gubernatorial
nomination. "They say ho would not
accept the nomination," continued the
Cameron county man, "but lam not so
sure of that. Pennsylvania honored
him with her delegates for the Presi
dency in the last National Republican
Convention, and should he accept the
Governorship this fail he would be in
line for the Presidency two years
hence. There is no doubt about the
strength of Knox with people of Penn
sylvania. His nomination for Govern
or would be equivalent to election
without the Republican party concern
ing itself about a campaign."
Brigadier General Willis J. Hulings
of Venango county, who heard Repre
sentative Howard's suggestion, re
marked: "I do not believe Mr. Knox
would run for Governor. He is in his
logical post now, and he has already
made history through the acceptance
by eleven nations of the world of his
proposition for them toconsider the ad
visability of the establishment of a uni
versal court of peace. I do not see
how he could give up the office
of Secretary of State, where he
has so much ahead of him in
this connection. The universal peace
court is bound to come. War is too
expensive. It is too antiquated
Modern men and modern conditions
will not tolerate warfare. The business
men of the world do not want it With
the development of recent inventions
war, as we onco knew it, will be
impossible.
The submarines and the airships
make the building ofdreadnaughts im
practicable and we now hear of the lat
est proposition for the projection of
electrical energy four or five miles to
destroy both the ships on the sea and
the ships of the air.
"Yes, wo are abont done with war,i'
continued Senator Hulings, who was
promoted to the rank of Brigadier-
General of the United States Volun
teers for gallant and meritorious con
duct in action in the Porto ltican cam
paign.
"Knox would mako a spleudid Gov
ernor," resumed General Hulings,
"but mark what I say, he will not
relinquish his present post while con
summing the great work he has out
lined."
Heed the Warning.

The Pennsy Relief System.
Some idea of the extent of the work
which is done by the Relief Depart
ments of the Pennsylvania Railroad
System is gathered from a report is
sued to-day which shows that doring
the month of April, 1910, an average
of over |»i,600.00 a day was paid to
members unable to work, and to fami
lies of members who died. Since the
Relief Departments for both Lines
East and West of Pittaburg and Erie
were established, some twenty-four
years ago, the sum of |28,292,60:1.91
has been paid out in benefits.
On the Lines East of Pittsburg, and
Erie in the month of April, payments
to the amount 0f5142,344 92 were made
by the Relief Fund. In benefits to the
families of members who died $49,292.-
13 were paid, while to members incap
acitated for work the benefits amount
ed to $93,052.09. The total payments
on the Lines East of Pittsburg since
the Relief Fund was established in 1966
have amounted to $20,630,699.10.
lu April, the Relief Fund of the
i'eunsylvania Lines Wwt of Pittsburg
paid out a total of $60,510 60, of which
$21,260.00 were for the families of
members who died, and $39,260 60 for
members unable to work. The sunt of
$7,771,903X1 represents the total pay
ment* of the Relief Fund of the Penn
sylvania Linee West since it was es
tablished In IBM.

DEATH'S DOINGS.
GIBBS.
M us. WALTER GIBBS, nee Miss Grace ,
May Burton, died at her home near '•
the Keystone Powder factory, last j
Thursday morniDg, about nine o'clock. |
i Deceased was born on Clear Creek, ;
i July 24th, 1875, and was therefore 34
! yearn, ten months and eight days old.
1 Mrs. Gibbs has beeu the mother of !
j eleven children, three of whom pro- '
ceded her to the grave. Deceased has |
been a patient sufferer for the past '
year but bore up wonderfully under j
her great affliction. She is survived
by her husband and eight children, the ;
youngest being only nine months eld |
and the eldest being a daughter about i
seventeen years old and upon her rests !
the duty of caring for the family. This
is a great responsibility for one so
1 young. She is also survived by one
! sister, Mrs. Eldon Lewis, and one
brother, Mr. Charles Barton. A
mother's loss is always a sad affliction
and always leaves a place tnat can
never be tilled, but when taken, just in
the best part of life and leaving such a
large family of helpless children it
aeems doubly sad. The funeral took
place last Saturday afternoon and in
terment was made in the cemetery at
Rich Valley. Mr. Bernard Egan wa s
funeral director. The PRESS extends
its sympathy to the bereaved family.
REV. WILLIAM H. ORRICK.
The Rev. William P. Orrick, D. D.,
Rector of Christ Church, Reading, Pa.,
and the senior priest of the diocese of
Bethlehem in point of continuous ser
vice, entered into rest May 21st in the
75th year of his age. Dr. Orrick had
been in failing health for some months,
but the end came somewhat unexpect
edly and has caused profound sorrow
throughout the diocese, where he was
greatly beloved and venerated.
He was a graduate of the University of
Virginia and of the Philadelphia Divi
nity School and was given his doctor's
degree by Kenyon College, Gambier,
Ohio. Ordained deacon by Bishop
Stevens in 1865 he became a most ac
tive missionary in the lumber region,
of what is now a part of the diocese of
Pittsburg. In 1866 he became rector
of St. John's Church, York, Pa., being
ordained priest the following year by
Bishop Vail and continued in this
charge until 1872, when he was elected
rector of Christ Church, Reading,
where he has nearly completed thirty
eight years of a most faithful ministry.
At the formation of the diocese of Cen
tral Pennsylvania, in 1871, Dr. Orrick
was elected to the Standing Commit
tee and was once chosen its secretary,
in which post he has served continu
ously (with the single exception of one
year when he was absent from the
country) until last convention, when
he declined re-election. A man of
breadth and culture, a fine preacher,
and possessed of remarkable adminis
trative gifts, he has served on most of
the important commissions of the dio
cese, his counsel being widely sought
and his judgment highly valued.
Keenly interested in the missionary
and benevolent work of the church.
He was not only himself a generous
giver, but put his parish into the front
ranks of the diocese in the matters of
contributions. He remained unmar
ried. Twenty-four of the clergy be
sides the bishop attended the funeral
services which were held from the
church in the afternoon of May 24th,
the church being densely crowded, the
local ministers attending in a body.
During a most impressive service
Bishop Talbot voiced the feeling of the
entire diocese in a most graceful trib
ute from the pulpit extolling the high
virtues of the deceased and the pre
cious example and memory he had left
behind him.
Rev. Orrick was rector of Emmanuel
Episcopal church at this place in 1865
and officiated at the first Episcopalian
baptism at this place,which was Anson
Knapp, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joshua A.
Knapp.

complication of diseases. He bad been

ed with him until manhood. In IMH
he married Anna Mason, daughter of j
William and Eliza Mason, of Sterling
Hun, aud to thsm wore born two
children, both of whom preoeded him
to the grave. He realised the eud was
near and made all preparations for the
future. H» was prepared for death and
told bis niece he was not afraid to die,
he was going to a fairer home, where
paiu and sorrow never eomee. lis was
eousulous until the last and bad*
his family and relations farewell, and
died In the bleated faith. He Ivavt-s a
wife and step son, also two brothers
Washington, of Emporium, and Char
les, of Sinnitmahoning, besides a host
of relatives and friends to mourn his
death. Mr. Krebs was a man with
many friends and his death will be
: keenly felt by his neighbors, who
speak very highly of him, which is a
good tribute.

I Albert Krebs, daughter, Ida and
I Susie, (nieces,) of Gardeau; Ilarry

World's Sunday School Conven
tion.
Unprecedented for its cosmopolitan
ism, unequaled in the magnitude of its
constituency, and unsurpassed as a
spectacle, the World's Sixth Sunday
School Convention in Washington, D.
C., May 19-24, marks an event in re
ligious history. There were about six
thousand delegates present the first
night, when President Taft addressed
the throng. It was a spectacular con
vention. The great Men's Bible Class
Parade on the afternoon of May 20th
opened the eyes of Washington to the
virility and masculinity of modern re
ligion. Congress adjourned early in
the day, so that some of its members
might march in the parade and others
witness it. There were five thousand
men in the line of march. The con
vention sat with a monster map of the
world before its eyes. The ollioial
button showed the globe with a red
cross superimposed thereon. Part of
each day was given to a "Roll Call of
Nations." The ends of the earth came
together at Washington. Delegates
were present from all over the LTnited
States, Canada, Korea, China, Mexico,
Brazil, Turkey, in fact all parts of Eu
rope and Asia were represented. For
the first time in its history the World's
Association tried to raise a budget for
the expenses of the ensuing triennium.
The sum asked for was $75,000 and was
raised in a few hours. This will be
used largely in placing field workers
in foreign lands to develop the Sunday
School idea and organization. The
wide spread observance of World's
Sunday School Day, in more than two
hundred languages and dialects, as re
ported to the Convention by cables
from various lands, was a real mission
ary factor. Literally thousands of ser
mons upon the religious training of
youth seem to have been preached up
on that day.

The Midsummer number of The De

there Is the editorial page, "Conver

touches the keynote of universal kin

child as a starting point Mr. Ridgway
talks of problems that concern all
humanity—the right of a child tow hole

JUNE ON THE GREAT LAKES
Restful, delightful, interesting and instructive, there
is no trip like that on the Great Lakes, those inland seas
which form the border line between the United States and
Canada. Aud June is one of the most charming months
in the year in which to take the trip.
For comfort the fine passenger steamships of the An
chor Line have no superiors. As well appointed as the pa
latial ocean greyhounds which plough the Atlantic, their
schedule allows sufficient time at all stopping places to en
able the traveler to see something of the great lake cities
and to view in daylight the most distinctive sights of the
lakes and the scenery which frames them.
'1 he trip through the Detroit River, and through Lake
St. Clair, with its great ship canal in the middle of the
lake, thence through lake Huron, the locking of the
steamer through the great locks at the Soo, and the pass
sage of the Portage Entry, lake and canal, across the upper
end of Michigan are novel and interesting features.
The voyage from Buffalo to Dulutli covers over eleven
hundred miles in the five days' journey. Leaving Buffalo
the stamships Juniata, Tionesta and Octorara, makes stops
at Erie, HCleveland, Detroit, Mackinic Island, the Soo,
Marquette, Houghton and Hancock aud Dulutli.
The 1910 season opened on May 31, when the steamer
Tionesta made her first sailing from Buffalo.
The Anchor Line is the Great Lake Annex of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, and the service measures up to the high
standard set by the"Standard Railroad of America."
An illustrated folder, giving sailing dates ot steamers
rates of fare, and other information is in course of prepara
tion and may be obtained when ready from any Pennsylva
nia Railroad Ticket Agent, who is also prepared to book
passengers who may desire to take this trip through the
Great Lakes and back.
