New Advertisement

All johnson of Port Jervis needs
is to add one letter to make him a
southern aristocrat. He is now an
F. F. first family, add the V. for
Virginia, and he would be in it. He
prefers however to have these let
ters stand for filter of feet, " and
in such employment he does more
real service to humanity then he
would by posing as real swell.
Just read his new adv. in another
column, where he offers to bring his
large store to your house free of
charge. Let him have the oppor-
tunity and see if you are not salts
fed.
Ryman and Wells remind you in
their new "ad " that you can de
corate your house in the prettiest
styles of wall paper at the lowest
prices. Nothing adds so much to
the appearance of a room with SO
little cost as fresh paper. 1t makes
it homelike and cheerful. Drop in
and see them.

BRIEF MENTION.

Quite thunder shower passed
over this Section Feb. 2S, and the
rainfall was very heavy during the
night, t,again proving the insufficency
of our culverts to carry off the wa
ter.
Sucker fishing was good during
the recent high water. Many, we
mean fish, were caught, in the ri
yer here.
1t blew great guns Monday
night. Some of the people sat up
to see if their house would not blow
away, but they We're disappointed.
Nothing moved.
Amos Labar, aged 50 years, re-
siding at the Delaware Water Gap,
fell on the ice at his home on Thurs
day and dislocated his left hip. Be-
cause of his advanced age his condi-
ton is quite serious.
VIM. Reser will sell a large stock
of good on the farm of G. E. Hor-
ton in Schocopee, Saturday March z
at p. M, The sale was adjourned
from the 3rd on account of the wea-
ther.
Won t Mr.. Icicles come to the
surface for a moment. and tell us
how it happened, and how it is going
to happen next time? Does he un-
derstand yet what considering
means? Let us hear from you.
Such trifes as an election should
not crush really noble and lofty
spirit.
DR. J. T. Cathrock, State Forest
commissioner, will deliver an ad-
dress next Monday evening on For
est Reservations as affecting the wa
ter supply of Philadelphia, in that
city.
The PRESS goes into nearly
every home in Milford and to many
in the county, besides those which
go outside, and the advertisement
of your vendues, or of anything you
have to sell, or of your wants, would
reach the people you want to know
about it. Try it once.
"A brand new robin was seen
along the river near here last Sun
day. Wonder what weather prop
het he read, and if he isn't sorry
about coming,
BE careful with the children, the
whooping cough, measles and scar
let fever are spreading over the
country. Take preca tionary mea-
sures. Probably you cannot avert
these diseases, but timely dieting,
and proper care may render them
much less serious if they come.

Damage BY the Floods.

The heavy rains of last week
caused wide spread ruin, both in des-
truction of property and loss of life.
1t has been especially severe in the
New England states, where bridges
have been carried away, many man
ufactury works closed or destroyed,
and railroad tracks torn out and
blockaded. Great ice gorges have
formed in the Hudson river. Al
bany was flooded and the New York
Central tracks were covered with ice.
The damage was not great i'll this
section, beyond the washing out of
cutters in the roads which will cost
supervisors some time and trouble
to repair.

The Rockwell EnmlIr.

We are in receipt of a communi-
cation from G. F. Rockwell, of
Honesdale, in which he corrects the
statement made in the PRESS of last
week, that Mrs. Valentine is the
grandmother of Mrs. E. H. Mott.
She is the mother.
Mr.. Rockwell further states that
he is a member of the Pennsyl-
vania Society of the Sons of the Re
volution of which General William
Wayne, grandnephew of "Mad .
Anthony Wayne, is president.
Mr.. Rockwell's grandfather en-
listed in a Connecticut regiment
when less than sixteen years old,
his birthday being October Srd, 1891,
and his enlistment in Nov. 1776.
After the end of his service he re-
turned to Connecticut and July 4,
1884, married Sarah Rundel by
which marrige there we're seven
children, the oldest being Lewis
Roc kwell, who was sheriff of Pike
county from 1874 to 1S47 and the
youngest, Anna, the mother OF
Henry B, and Mary Wells, of Mil
ford, Pa.
His wife died in Milford in 1898,

fifth Congressional District as a
candidate for district delegate to the

no opposition.
Senator E. B. Hardenburg will
quite likely be one of the delegates
to the Republican National Conven-

DEERPARK is REPUBLICAN,
The Wind Blew, and he Demo-
Gratis There Are Blue.

They Crawl Out from una, the Wreck OF
their Hopes with Two Omcers. The
Good Deacon Nearpass Went to the
Wen once Too often, and the Boys
Broke His Pitcher.
The Gazette. of Port Jervis, has a
decidedly blue nose. 1t says the
spring election has come and gone
and the result shows that the DEM
ocratic party in Deerpark for the pre-
sent, has about gone with it. Th e
Democrats only elected two on the
entire ticket. A Highway and an
Excise commiss ioner.
The head of he ticket. W. H.
Nearpass for supervisor, was de-
feated 7. j Quick by seventy-one
majority. The election is a fair test
of the feelings of the people, Both
tickets were unusually good, and
the result is just one more voluntary
testimonial to the want of confidence
the masses have in the Democratic
party, and it capacity to successful
ly manage affairs. The Democrats
may seek to disguise facts, and
throw dust in the eyes of the people,
but this will not avail. They must
face the inevitable. They deceived
the people with the cry of a tariff
tax, they promised better times. In
stead. came business prostration, a
general depression, and unlimited
borrowing of money to pay the cur
rent expenses of government. The
country sees it mistake and these re-
peated rebukes are only the ground
swells of that tidal wave which next
fall will sweep the country from
east to west.

WOMANlsH AFTER ALL.
A True story of why Susan b. Anthony
Never Wore Bloomers.

A True story of why Susan B. Anthony
Never Wore Bloomers.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton says
that nothing has never marred the
45-year-old friendship that has exis-
ted between her and Susan B. An
thony.
There was one time long ago,
though, when it had a severe shock.
Boomers were the innocent cause.
Both Mrs. Stanton and Miss An
thony believed in boomers. They
discussed the matter seriously and
decided that bloomers were a
rational form of dress, conductive
to good health. They further de-
cided that it was their duty to
wear this costume and try to get
others to do so.
Each woman had a bloomer suit
made. The two planned to don
them on the same day at Mrs. Stan
toms house. At the appointed time
Mrs. Stanton, who then lived in the
country, sent her carriage to meet
Miss Anthony at the station. Aunt
Susan had planned a little surprise
for Mrs. Stanton and had her bloom
ers on, concealed by her petticoats.
Before she reached the house she
told the driver to let her out and she
would walk up the hill. When Mrs.
Stanton came to the door to greet
her friend she was astonished to see
her walking up the hill in all the
glory of boomers.
But instead of the praise which
Miss Anthony expected, Mrs. Stan
ton exclaimed: My goodness Su-
san, if l looked like that in bloomers
I'll never wear them. " Miss An
thongs feelings were hurt by this
remark. So the compact to wear
boomers was declared off.

Natural Gas Peculiarly Discovered.

The other morning Cyrus Wake
man, a young farmer living near
Harmony, Beaver county, while on
his way home from calling on a
young woman, and while passing
through piece of woods, threw a
lighted match to the ground. In
stantly bright flames shot up from
among the rocks, which so frigh-
tened the young man that he imag-
ined he saw all sorts of strange
things, so he took to his heels and
fled. An investigation was made,
and it was discovered that when the
burning match was thrown in among
the rocks it had ignited jet of es-
Gaping natural gas. Until the mat
ter was explained, however, the
neighborhood was greatly excited,
and number of the more supersti-
tious had called a prayer meeting.-
