The Oldest Engineer on the Buffalo 6
Susquehanna Railroad.

The last issue of the Austin Demo-
crat contains cut of our old friend
Henry E. Page, former resident of
Emporium. The Democrat says:
'There is no better known or more
popular man in Austin and vicinity
than Henry E. Page. Entering the
employ of the Goodyears early in the
eighties, he has remained with them
ever since, taking an interest in their
affairs such as few men show in the
affairs of their employers.
Mr. Page was born September 4,
1854, at Covington, Tioga county,
Pennsylvania. He attended the High
School at that place, and after leaving
school learned the trade of glass fiat
tener. He was not in love with his
trade, however, and in the early seven
ties he quit and came into the lumber
country. After two years numbering
he entered the employ of the w. N. Y.
q p. Railroad, first as wiper, in 1873,
car repairer in 1874, firemen in 1875,
and engineer in 1879.
On the Sth of August, 1885, Mr..
Page entered the employ of the S. V.
r. R., now the B. & S. When he
entered the employ of the railro, d
there was no track at all. They com
menced to lay the track on the 9th day
of August, prior to which time all the
switching had to be done on the other
railroad.
In his early manhood Mr.. Page was
married to Alice o. Taylor, at Empo-
rum. They have three children, viz:
Jean, aged twenty-three years; John,
twenty-one; Charles, nineteen.
Mr.. Page has been a member of the
Masonic order for sixteen years, a
member of the Ancient order of the
United Workmen for eighteen years
and is an active member of the Knights
of Maccabees.
He is at present serving term as
Councilman, having been elected on
the Democratic ticket, and discharges
the duties of the office faithfully and
to the best interests of the taxpayers" :"

Farming Don't tPay-Gardening Don't
Pay! Why?

If you punch hole in the ground
corn, or a grain of wheat, and leave
the crop to care for itself while you go
to the corner to get drink, or tell Or
hear story, or sit on the stoop and
smoke and expect to harvest crop
except of weeds-you will be disap-
pointed; but if you will take one rod,
one rood, one acre, or so many acres
of land as you can fertilize thoroughly,
and cultivate faithfully and will keep
an accurate account of all expenses,
labor included, and will also keep an
account of the value of everything
gathered from said lot at market rates,
and will see that all grown on said
land which is not marketable, but has
q value as food for animals, is faith
fully and .iudiciously fed to your horses,
cattle, sheep, swine and poultry, you
will find the percentage of net gain is
as large as is the average of any calling
in life, amount invested, labor and
talent considered. Ride along our
country roads and village streets and
note the weeds in the fields and
gardens from foot to four feet high,
growing vigorously and seeding boun-
tifully and shading the ground effect
ually. Except for the slight working
given the ground before planting and
the little cultivation given the crop as
it shows itself above ground, you
might as well have sowed your seed in
the forest. You cannot raise a big
crop of weeds and a good crop of
vegetables or grain on the same ground
at the same time. 1t takes as much
strength of land to grow a weed as to
grow potato, an ear of corn, or
head of wheat. Weeds like evil in
men and women, boys and girls needs
no cultivation, and will, shade and
effectually stunt and dwarf any crop
under them, as evil crowds out good
in men and women.
"Gives fools their gold and knaves their power:
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall;
Who sows a field or trains flower
Or plants a tree is more than ALL
For he who blesses most is blest
And God and man shall own his worth
Who tolls to leave as his bequest
An added beauty to the earth.
"And soon or late, to all that SOW
The time of harvest shall be given:
The flower shall bloom, the fruit shall grow.
If not on earth at last in Heaven"

AT MADRID.
PRESS SENTIMENT GENERALLY
HOPEFUL OF PEACEFUL RESULT.
WOODFORD CONNERS WITH MINISTRY
lie seems Pleased with Outcome, and
Every Indication, IL IN Reported,
Points to a settIement-President
McKinfey's Note.

MADRID, March 29-The semi-official
FL Liberal says: "The report on the Maine
contains no grave statement; therefore
President Mckinley will not use that pre-
text for declaring war, but will use relief
of the Cubans."
FL Liberal adds: I'VE believe the Span
ish Government will never tolerate a
foreign nation, under the guise OF phi
lanthropy, invading our territory, for II
would be followed by the unanimous
protest of the Spanish people"
The same paper then cOunsels Spain to
prepare to repel any kind of Intervention,
TO be uncompromising, and to accept
nothing affecting the dignity or sovereign
ty Of Spain"
Beyond the fact that a few policemen
and a couple Of civil guards stand out
side the American legation there IS alb
solutely no sign in Madrid of the tension
between Spain and America. So far as
the general public is concerned, the mat
ter is little discussed, even the press
being to-day generally hopeful of peace
ful settlement.
MKINLEY'S DEMAND"
The note United States Minister Wood
ford presented is practically a repetition
of the one presented i'm September, which,
in the interest of humanity, asked Spain
for an immediate cessation of hostilitles
in Cuba.
Upon Spain's reply to this matter
hinges the conference held at the presi-
dency this afternoon, at which Senior
Sagasta, the Premier; Senior Gullon, the
Foreign Minister: Senior MOret, the Min
lister for the Colonies. and General Wood
ford were present, and at which it had
been hoped decision would be reached.
General Woodford's conference was of an
hours duration, and the Ministers con-
tinued in elaboration after the United
States Minister withdrew.
In the course of an interview after the
conference, Senior Sagasta said to the
correspondent of the Associated Press
that United States Minister Woodford, at
the conference, asserted that he desired
to express the wishes Of his government
on the subject of the situation in Cuba,
and of the reconcentrados.
SAGASTAS PROGRAMME.
Senior Sagasta added that the confer
ence decided some of these points, and
that he had promised to study General
Woodf0rds propositions, and TO submit
them 10 the Queen Regent and then tc
a Cabinet council, considering them from
every point of view, in order that the
Cabinet might take a resolution thereon
Senior Sagasta authorized the correspond
ent of the Associated Press to deny any
other version of the conference as I'M
true.
Ihe conference adjourned till o'clocb
| Thursday afternoon.
United States Minister Woodtord seem
| ed pleased with the result, ana every III
| dication points to a settlement.
