The Emporium, Cameron county
rress, whose editor, Hen. II. II. Mullen,
is personally acquainted with Dr. 'fow

ination of Dr. Towler for the legislature
is simply justice to an honorable gentle
man, who conscientiously and zealously
represented Forest county In the session
of '91. His conceded ability as a legisla
tor should give him tho unanimous vote

Tho patriotic entertainment given by
the W. R. C. in tho Court house on Mon
day evening was one of the most enjoy
able a Ifuirs ever given by exclusive homo
talent. The solos, tableaux, flag drills,
etc., were all rendered in a vory credit
ablo manner, the tableaux could not have
lieon staged in a more artistic and pleas
ing manner and much credit is duo to the
people who had charge of tho drilling of
the participants.
One duy last week, Samuel Confer,
an employe on the mill of the Watson

was feeding at tho time. (The "hog" is a
machine which grinds or chews up edg
ings into small bits that are carried to
the arches where they are used for fuel.)
Mr, Confer was rendered insensible for
some time, but at last accounts wasdolng
very well.

plants to be found in the Stato. A suf
ficient length of time has not elapsed
since tho placo emerged from the woods
to cause ttie citizens to forget the kind of
entertainment enjoyed by the bark peel
ers, and the Marienvillo contingent felt
perfectly at home while attending court.

Death of Mrs. P. M. Clark.
The battle is over, the unequal context
is ended, death Is once more victorious,
and the sensibilities of many hearts in
this community are touched. Alter an
illness whose fluctuations havo boon
watched with general solicitude and sym
pathetic interest, tho earthly sojourn ol
Myra Esther Clark, wife of ex-District
Attorney P. M. Clark, ended at her homo
n Tionesta at 5 o'clock a. ni., Friday,
May 27, 1898. Everything that loving
hearts oould concoive of, or medical
science suggest, was resorted to in the ef
fort to stay the hand of the foil destroyer,
but it was all of no avail.
Mrs. Clark was a native of Clarion
county and was aged 43 years, 10 months
and 18 days. She was nnited in marriage
to P. M. Clark, Esq., July 13, 1892, and
their union Lad been most happy.
Her life, all too brief, was beautiful in
its fruits of grace and usefulness, its fidel
ity to duty, and the affectionate zeal lor
the welfare of others. She was unselfish
by naturo, pure in heart, loving in dispo
sition, abounding in charities that soothe
and bless. The qualities of her natme
caused her to be beloved and appreciated
by a wide circle of acquaintances. She
was a christian and she always lived
nigh tbo Kingdom into which she has
been called. Her loss will be felt in
christian work, to which she gave her
best service.
She was a member of the M. E. Church
of Tionesta, was one of its most earnest
workers in the causo of the Lord, and It
will be difficult to fill her place.
She was not afraid to die,her every word
was clothed with a smilo and sho patient
ly waited to enter into the veiled and sileut
future whence no traveler returns, and
clasp the hand of Him whoso service she
loved on earth.
To her stricken, ueart-brokeu husband,
and relatives and friends, there is this
consolation : "She oan never suffer moro."
The funeral services, hold at the M. K.
church on Sunday last at 1 o'clock p. in.,
wore conducted by her poslor, Rev. Buz
za, assisted by her former pastor, Rev. C.
Humbergor, under whose ministra
tion the deceased was first brought to
Christ. Both ministers paid glowing
tributes to the memory of Mis. Clark,
every word of which see mod to awaken a
sympathetic response in the hearts of all.
The casket, almost hidden beneath a pro
fusion of lovely flowers, was borne to the
crave by six members of her Sabbath
school class, Mrs. J. G. Hunter, Mrs. F.
P. Amsler, Mrs. Will Hunter, Miss May
Huling, Miss Lucy Huling and Miss
Mary Morgan, the interment .being hi
beautiful Riverside cemetery.
Memorial Day.
If the G. A. It., controled the elements
a moro perfect day could not have been
constructed for the fulfillment of the pro
gram prepared ' for Memorial Day, and
judging from the patriotio enthusiasm
displayed it was unquestionably enjojed
by all.
Never in the history of our town, ha
the display of flags and bunting been
equaled and the croud of patriotic citizens
of this vicinity that gathered to celebrate
this most meinoriablo day was certainly
immense.
Tho morning exercises, as per program,
were carried out to tho letter, tho dele
gations from tho Post who hod been ap
pointed to decorate remote graves of com
rades, all left on schedule time and aftor
fulfilling thoir duties wero promptly on
hand to take part in the ceremonies at
Riverside cemetery.
The fact that our country -is in tho
throes of war at the present time is pro
bablv one reason that our peoplo took a
more active intorest in the proper obser
vanco of Memorial Day, and each and
every one certainly demonstrated their
pride in, aud willingness to "stand up'
for "Old Glory."
Our new military company turned out
in the parade with the G. A. R and the
auxiliary W. R. C, and the showing that
they made in military tactics and maneu
vers, considering the very short time that
they have been drilling, was certainly ex
collent, aud wo have no hesitancy in as.
sisting that tliero is not a company ofnew
voluiitoors in tho United States, who
have bad no more advantages, that could
make a better showing.
To add pleasure and harmony to the
occasion tho Juylnile Band, of West Hick
ory came down with the Hickory aud
Harmony township veterans and "raw
recruits, and, to say tho least, (using the
sobriquet given to musicians in the regu
lar army,) as "windjammers." those boys
are out ot sight." The music they render
ed was enjoyed by all, aud thoy will be
ever welcome visitors to Tionesta.
As usual the holpmatos of the G. A. R-,
the patriotio W. R. C, served an exollent
lunchion in their hall, for tho benefit of
all visiting comrades tand their families
which was thoroughly enjoyed aud op.
preciatod, and too much praise cannot bo
civon these noble women for the work
they have done and are doing.
After the ritual scrvico of the G. A. 11.
at Riverside cemetery 'the vast crowd
gathored at the Court House to listen. .to
the Memorial Day address which was do
livered by President Judge W. M. Lind
sey. The large court room was filled to
over flowing, and the audience was most
attentive whilo tho eloquent speaker do
livered his addresH, which abounded in
rich thought aud many beautiful Irlbutos
to the brave boys iu whose honor thesa
annual gatherings are hold. The mooting
aftor tho usual ritual services of the G
A. K.. had been gone through with, was
interspersed with songs by the Choir and
an appropriate recitation by Miss Kalli-
eeu Joyce.
All in all it was a day long to ho re
membered for the patriotism and good
fellowship displayed, aud passed oil with
out a single sign of boisterous demonstr a
tion or unseemly conduct.

Presbyterian (ieneral Assembly.
Winosa, Ind., May 28. In my last
letter I refered to a patriotio service lo be
held on the afternoon of the 21st under
lie direction of the Genearl Assembly.
This was very largely attended and was
perhaps the most en thnsiastio of all the
meetings held, if the outward expression
of pent up patriotism be cousideied. "Sev
eral excellent addresses were niadt, rep
resenting all parts of the ceuntry. Dr.
C. L. Work of Cincinnati presided and
at the close of his opening address pre
sented a sories ot resolution endorsing
the "wise and patriotio course puisuod
by the President in his conduct of the
war, and hereby pledge to him and to the
a'niy and navy our sympathy, our pray-
rs aud our support." These resolutions
wero recommended to be read in the
hurches on Memorial day and a copy
ordered tent to the Presideut.
A great deal was kaid about the union of
the north and south under the stars and
Mtnpes. The climax was reached when
Rev. John M. Barckley, D. D.,an ex-con-
federate and native of North Carolina,
rushed across the platform and seized the
very black hand of Rev. Dr. Brown, col
ored, a native ef South Carolina, and
spoke of the obliteration of the Mason
and Dixon line, of the fact that within a
few days the deck of the Winslow was
baptized with Northern, Southern and
negro blood, that there was no North nor
South in the hearts of the army people.
Uo spoke of the Union Major, William
McKinloy, who had conferred command
upou Joe Wheeler and Fitz Hugh Lee,
ex-confederate Generals. The great ap
plauso fairly shook the building while
these two men with clasped hands stood
on the platform, and tears were in many
eyes. Dr.Geo.F.PentecesUalso presented
resolutions reforring to "The widespread
and sympathetic expressions of fellow
ship oil the part of British people in the
present crisis."
A study of the personnel of the Assem
bly is interesting. One is struck with the
large, noble, dignified maahood of this
representative bwdy of ministers and
elders. The old scholastic idea of devel
oping the mind at the expense of the
body is exploded. A sound mind in a
sound body is the true order. Weakened
physical power cripples the strong mind's
power of exrpession. As a matter ot
fact most of the strong meu Intellectually
in the Assembly were strong men physi
cally. Then thore were native Ameri
cans with a fair sprinkling of men from
many shorts aud climes and nations. Na
tive Indians (who really are the native
Americans), native negroes, with Eng.
lish, Irish, Scotch, Welsh, German, Mex.
ican, all cemented Into one harmonious
whole.
The high-water mark of the Assembly
was reached on Thursday, the 20th, wheu
the 250th anniversary of the adoption of
Westminster Standards was celebrated.
Tho entire day was giveu ap to addresses
on the subject. Dr. W. C. Gray, of the
Interior, Chicago, presented to the As.
seinbly an oil painting of Aiexa.der
Henderson, one of the principle mem
bers of that memorable Westminster As
sembly, which sat iu the Jerusalem
Chamber, Westminster Abbey, from
Ki42 to 1018 and gave to the world that
system of church doctrine aud policy
now held by all Presbyterian bodies.
The program covered the different phases
of Presbytorianism in doctrine and gov
ernment in its rolaitons to tied aud man
The character of tho times in wuich they
wero written, the men who composed the
Assembly, the causes that led to it, were
nil discussed by the most learned and el
oquent divines and elders. Among the
latter was one of Pennsylvania's favorite
sous, Ex. Gov. (now Judge) James A
Beaver. There was a pathetic, almost
tragic, event occurred in connection with
this address. Gov. Beaver was just about
to closo his address and was speaking of
the flag under which to-day the north
and tho south, were so closely united and
of the joy this gave him, when he was
seen to fuller. He moved oyer to the
dek and resting his hand upon it, said,
"Let us stop a moment." , I thought he
was overcome with emotion aud would
soon rally. The clerk supported him for
a moment when he looked up and said,
".Since the North and South have been
brought together so closely under the
stars and stripes why can not the Presby
tori a n church north and south be brought
toircther under the bloed stained banner
of the cross." Then consciousness left
him and he sank into a ohair placed to
receive him. It is impossible to describe
the scene, Like a typical Presbyteoiua
body that it was, no one spoke one word
in the audience, but a feeling deep in its
emotion and sympathy pervaded the vast
congregation who gazed with eager eyes
on that beioven lorm, to whom a puysio
ian and a few friends were miuisteVing.
It proved to bo only a faintnese brought
on by overwork and the heat, and a deep
breathed sigh of relief was heard when
the Gov. opened bis eyes and spoke la
thoso about mm. it made quite an im
pression upon ail.
On that evening a mooting of the Al
umni of Washington and Jefferson col
lides was held, at which were about 45 of
"the boys." (Joy. Keaver presided and
introduced the speakers, Dr. Redclytl'e,
the moderator, Dr. Moffat, president of
the col lego, Dr. Mickols, ot St. Leuis,aml
(jlov. Buaver told of the tricks of the Imivs
in iho Go's and tiO's. 't hese were more
inloicstini-' to Mr. Kelly than to me, as
lin know those Prof's while a new set of
Prof's filled those chairs ill my daye at
COMORO. ,
Tunc and space forbid making evfrfi
nieiil ion of the many interesting thin.s
that have occurred, or to dwell upon even
a few, so I must hurry on. The disposal
of the McGitl'urt rase and the dellveraaee
on temperance will, I am Bare, meet
with the hearty approval of all candid
minds when thoroughly consider!. !r.
Mcliifl'ort's book on the AiMistolic Ago is
out ol lmrmoiiy with the standards of our
church, and so he was asked either to
conform to the standards or iMuceahly la
withdraw.
A congratulatory CHhlci;iain was Mtnt
to Queen Victoria on her birthday, to
which a suitable reply was rm-eivnl.
Fraternal greutiugn were also extended
to the ieneral Assembly ot the I'resliy
terian Chlll'h South, I'uiUsI Presbyterian
Church aud the Cumberland Psesbylor
ian Church all now in session.
I have hail the pleasure and profit of
listening to several o the finest address
es, or as line, as wereever delivered from
nnv platform. Thoso who have been in
nttiiiidaiico at other Assemblies say this
is tho best for many years. .
Not a single word has been said to
break the peace and liariaony. However
widely meu differ in opinion they showed
the utmost courtesy to one another. One
committee sat lor thirty hours on a
and brought iu finally a majority and
two minority reports without the slight
est ft cliii or ill spoken work.
Altogether w fnjoyed tho piivileue of
attending this, the highest court of tho
I'rcsti.vterian Church, and came away not
only stronger Presbyterians, but. as we
trust, morn enthusiastic in tho Master's
service, in which the Presbyterian
Church has had so large a part.
