JOHN G. CARLISLE
Former Secretary of the Treasury j
Passes Away in New York.
NEW YORK, JULY 31.—Jonh CI. Car
lisle, former secretary of the treasury
under President Cleveland, who has
beer, critically ill for the past two days,
died at his apartments in New York at
10:50 to night of heart failure, accom
panied by oedema of the lunga.
John Griffin Carlisle was born in
Newton county, Ky., on September 5,
1835. He was educated in the public
schools, later studied law and was ad
mitted to the bar. Always a consis
tent Democrat and interested in public
affairs as a young man, he rose from
the Kentucky House of Representatives
to the Senate, served as lieutenant
governor and finally graduated into
national affairs.
From 1887 to 1890 lie was a member
of the National House, aud from 1883
to 1889 waa Speaker of the House. He
resigned to fill the unexpired term of
James M. Beck in the United States
Senate from which he again resigned
in 1893 to become secretary of the
treasury under President Grover
Cleveland.
Public Notice to Parents.
A certain class of would be "smart"
young sons of Emporium parents, rang
ing from twelve to about eighteen
years of age, have been making distur
bances during and after Sabbath even
ing services for some of the congrega
tions of the town.
At one service, recently, they quiet
ly congregated In the entrance to tbe
church, and in the midst of the dis
course ran, stamping their feet, like a
lot of livery horses with the evident
purpose of disturbing the services.
At another service, they waited out
side and as the congregation was re
tiring from the services, one of the
hoodlums used a squirt gun full of
mnddy water and destroyed a fine new
dress worn by one of the congregation.
At another place, complaint comes
of this same class using the floor for a
spittoon for tobacco spit and the
corner of the church seats for a deposi
tory for cigarette stumps.
the names of all the parties are
known, and we wish to give a note of
warning to parents to take charge of
these "condidates for trouble," or the
strong arm of the law will certainly
deal with them.
Some of the parents have already
been notified that their children are
among the offenders aud declare that
"just as sure as their boys get into
trouble" they will have to suffer the
penalty, as they will not help them in
the least. A word to the wise is suffi
cient, and it is to be hoped that the
"otherwise" will take warning and not
have to suffer the result of a farther
demonstration of their "Ignorance of
the requirements <>fcommon decency."
The law on disturbing a religious
meetings is quite severe. Boys, be
muuly; don't be hair brained nuslances.

Keystone State Still Solid.
The optimistic view taken by Chair
man Walton, of the Republican State
Committee, concerning the prospect of
the party in the coming campaign and
the result of the election in Pennsyl
vania in November next, is fully justi
fied by all the facta and the existing
conditions, rightly declares the Phila
delphia Evening Star
For some years past it has been cus
tomary immediately after the Republi
can State Convention had placed its
candidates in the field for the Chair
man of the State Committee to call up
on the Chairmen of the various County
Committees to have canvasses made
of their respective localities, aud send
preliminary reports to headquarters
showing the actual political conditions
as they exist, together with sugges
tions as to points at which the party
lines may need strengthening, faction
al difficulties smoothed out, and any
other means that should be adopted
for starting in on the campaign in a
well-ordered manner.
These reports have been received
from nearly all of the sixty-seven coun
ties of the State, and in none of them
is the slightest cause for apprehension
on the part of the Republicans shown.
Ou the other hand, the Chairmen of
the various Connty Committees state
that the conditions are better than
they have ever been before, and the
reports indioate that the Republican
Party of the old Keystone Common
weaith is lined up in force, ready to
score an old-fashioned victory at the
November polling.
When it is taken into consideration
that the ticket named by the State
Convention at Harrisburg on June 22,
is made up ot strong and sturdy stal
warts, of men whose political and per
sonal standing are of the hignest and
that these candidates, who are well
known and properly appreciated not
only in the communities in which they
live, but throughout the entire State,
there is no reason for surprise at the
fact that the party voters are enthusi
astic.
Chairmsu Walton wa. afforded op
portunity to come into contact with
some of the enthsiasm when he went
to Pittsburg to be on hand for the
notification of Gubernatorial nominee
Tener aud his associates on the ticket,
and he correctly sized it up when he
said :
"There is reason lor general con
gratulations over the enthusiasm
evinced at the notiflcatiou of the State
candidates of the Republican Party
and the large number of active Repub
licans from every section of the State
in attendance at the ceremonies.
"From personal contact with some of
the best informed men in tbe State, I
am safe in predicting that there will lie
an unprecedently large vote polled for
the Republican State ticket this fall.
"The party is harmonious aud the
candidates are men who will appeal to
the voter* of every class. Mr. Tener
has made lor himself a platform such
as any business man with patriotism
and public spirit would favor, and up
on every hand it is manifest that the
people have confidence in his sinceiity
and ability to do what he proposes."
To put the situation iu a nutshell,
the Itapubllcaua of Pennsylvania have
a splendid State ticket fir the coining
camp igu, aud they propose tu hue up
aud support it iu vigorous la-d.ion to
the I'iiti (hat It shall be triumphantly

CRIPPEN AND GIRL
ARE CAUGHT
WIRELESS HUNT ENDS
Scotland Yard Sleuth Identifies
Pair on Montrose at Fathers
Point, Quebec.
i
QUEBEC, QUE., JULY 31 —"Crippen,
I want yon," said Inspector Dew, of
of Scotland Yard to a man on tbe deck
of the steamer Montrose at Father's
Point to-day. The man recoiled, a
deathly pallor spread over his face, hia
breath came short and fast and he tried
to speak, but his throat only gurgled
incoherently. Then:
"Thank God, the suspense is over, I
and I am glad."
Thus ended the world's most dram
atic criminal hunt—the wirelesa pur
suit of Dr. Harvey Hawley Crippen of
London, England, and his typist, Misa
Ethel Clare Laneve. They fled from
London on July 9 when the police
took up the aearch for the missing
"Belle Elmore," Dr. Crippon's wife.
And the credit for their capture is
due to Capt. Kendall and a steward of J
the steamer Montrose whose sharp eyes
penetrated the disguise of the pair who
booked possage as "The Rev. John j
Robinson and son," with Misa Leneve :
dressed as a boy.
GIRL BREAKS DOWN.
Miss Loneve collapsed in her state
room when the police arrested her.
Crippen, was broken in spirit, but
mentally relieved by the relaxed ten
sion. The youug woman, garbed in
boy's clothes, sobbed hysterically.
They were guarded closely as the
Montrose continued her voyage from
Father's Point in Quebec, and during
tiie 150-mile trip were allowed to see
each other. Miss Leneve recovered her
composure rapidly and Crippen was
almost cheerful as the liner plowed
through the waters.
The identification of the long sought
fugitives on board the fog-shrouded '
steamer, by the English detectives, :
who had raced across the Atlantic !
ahead of the Montrose, marked the
close of one of the most sensational
flights in recent criminal annals. Ac
companied by two Canadian officers,
Inspector Dew boarded the Montrose
at 8:30 o'clock, this morning and 15 112
minutes later both man and girl were
locked in their state rooms.
CBAROE IS MURDER.
After brief delay, the Moutros«: con
tinued her 180-mile journey up the
river toward Quebec where jail await
ed the pair. Crippen is charged with
the murder of an unknown woman, be
lieved to have been his actress wife.
The girl is held as an accessory. In
charge of luspector Dew they will bo
taken back to England for trial ou the
Royal line steamer Royal George,
leaving Quebec on Thursday next.
Seldom has there been a scene sur
rounding the pursuit of a criminal so
pregnrut with dramatic features as
that enacted off Fathers Point this
morning, Inspector Dew spent a sleep
lens uight at the Marconi operator's
side, communicating through the fog,
with the liner that bore the man and
woman he sought.
The man had lied to him in London
by fleeing the city with the mystery of
Helle Elmore's disappearance unsolved
ami a strong personal feeling entered
illto the case, accentuating the detect
ive's desire to carry out the task as
signed to him by Scotland Yard

J. B. Melsel Sells His Business.
J. B. Meisel, who has successfully
conducted tbe confectionery and ice
cream parlors, next door to the post
1 office, has disposed of hia business to
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Seger, who have {
taken possession of this popular store.
Mr. Meisel was compelled to retire ow- j
ing to poor health and hopes to take a
long rest. ' During their business career
in Emporium both Mr. and Mrs. Meisel
having been untiring in their efforts
to please the public,' thereby building
up a large trade. Their successors
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Seger, are both
; popular young people and shall be un
| tiring in their zeal to maintain the
popularity of this estabishment. They
will continue the high character and
reputation of the store by keeping only
the choicest of confections, fruits and
creams, especially the celebrated I. X.
L. ice cream, having the exclusive
agency for the latter in Emporium.
Orders are solicited for every variety
of flavors, as well as ices and sherbets.
Call and see them.
The New Rector.
Rev. M. L. Tate and family, the new
Rector of Emmanuel Episcopal Church,
arrived in Emporium last Friday and
I entered upon the discharge of his dut
t ies, delivering two able sermons last
Sunday morning and evening, to good
sized congregations. Extensive re
pairs having been completed, except
the heating system, in the Rectory, the
Rev. and his family are now getting
settled in their new home. We believe
Rev. Tate will after getting acquainted
with the people, be a careful, euergetic
and faithlul Rector. We hope all will
extend to him the hand of good-fellow
ship.
Why?
If a Protective Tariff ia responsible
for high prices, what is accountable
i tor toe increase in England, which has
no Protective Tariff. The London
| Graphic has been looking the matter
up and finds that in 1909 Free Trade
England paid $38,000,000 more for four
articles of food than the same pro
ducts cost in 1808. These four com
modities were wheat, bacon, eggs and
mutton, and the Graphic particular
izes the advance in each case. What's
the answer? There will be more from
that class of shallow thinkers who
have a parrot-liku facility for putting
every thing up to the Tariff -Troy
Times.

Well Earned Vacation.
Postmaster Chas. Seger, accompan
ied by his excellent wife left yesterday
on a ten day vacation, taking the pop
ular St. I<awrence, Quebec and Mon
treal trip. They expect to be absent
ten days Mr. Seger has been closely
confined for a long time and richly de
serves a rest and a little recreation.
Hope he may return feeling complete
; ly rested and ready to answer to any
' call of his patrons or I'ncle Sam.
A few minutes before leaving, Mr.
Seger chauged his route, deciding to
j take steamer from Queliec direct to
) New York city.

Base Ball Notes.
Last Saturday afternoon, the Key
atone Nationals again crossed bats
with the Athletics at Keystone Park.
The game resulted in the score of nine
to one in favor of the Nationals. Al
though a little one-sided was a good
one. Mr. Frank McCloskey and Mr.
Lawrence Fisk acted as umpires dur
ing the game. The members of the
Keystone Nationals, while they have
only played a few games together, put
up a remarkably good game and are on
a fair road to success. The Athletics,
also a home team, are all good
players and with practice will become
a strong aggregation. Emporium
should have enough base ball, with
two excellent teams in the fields
