The success of colored boy on the
cycle track this season brings forciblv
to mind the fact that some of the best
athletes the world has ever seen We're
negroes. The athletic prowess Of the
negro was recognized in the times of
mythology and is today. The greatest
centre rush Of any college eleven was
a negro, and he is fast becoming rec
ognized as one of the foremost authori-
ties of the game. One of the most sue
cessful jockeys the American turf has
ever seen was a negro, as was another
American jockey, who revolutionized
English turf methods, not so many
years ago. Out of the west, early in
the '90's, came a colored pugilist who

When the civil war broke out Hobson
enlisted in the Twenty third Kentucky
regiment. After serving his enlistment
ne entered the navy as a sailor aboard
the cruiser Russia. Hobson studied
law at one time, and is well-educated
man. He acknowledges that he can
not live an uprieht life About a year
ago he was released from the Alleg
heny penitentiary, where he served
four years for larceny. Since that time
he has spent several months in hos
pitfalls about the country, being a sl1f-
ferer from rheumatism.

No man engaged in athletic pastimes
or pursuits is more deserving of success
than Major Taylor, the Worcester boy.
who has been lowering worlds records
at Philadelphia, the past ten days.
Taylor, by dint Of hard, conscientious
work, has pushed himself into the front
rank of the short-distance cycle racers.
The old feeling of race prejudice has
cropped out against him many times
and in many places, but he has manful-
ly braved every insult and indignity,
and has at all times acted the gentle
man. THE major" as he is best known
in the cycling world, is a young man Of
exemplary habits, who neither drinks
smokes nor CANDLES. With his legiti-
mate earnings he is supporting an aged
father in Indianapolis and is sending
two younger sisters through the pub
lie schools of this city. Men like Tay-
lOr are credit to clean sport.

At the opening the other night OF the
school of comparative Jurisprudence
and diplomacy, which has been estab-
lished in connection with Columbian
University at Washington, John w.
Foster, ex-secretary of state, spoke on
the diplomat, who, he said, should be
both the constitutional and interna-
tional lawyer, but was very often
neither. He favored putting candi-
dates for the diplomatic and consular
service of the United States through a
career, the ministers to be selected
from those showing themselves com
petent for promotion. Mr. Fosters
ideas are sound, and it is, unfortunate
ly, quite true that he was right when
he added that it would be long time
before the present system of making
appointments in the foreign service
would be done away with.

The Emporium Glove and Mitten

last Tuesday evening, at the office of
B. w. Green. The report of the Com
pany showed it to be in healthy con-
dition and prospects for the future
bright. Mr.. G. w. Shaffer resigned as
Secretary and Treasurer, it requiring
too much of his time to give the busi-

substantial business men, to build up
large business and materially add to

DriftwoOd'S Big Blaze.

About 8 o'clock Tuesday morning L.
r. Gleason & Sons night watchman, w.
S. Frohman, discovered fire in the bark
stacks back of the tannery row of houses.
The blowing of whistles and cries of fire
soon brought to the scene many willing
workers who put forth every effort to
prevent the destruction of property.
For time the entire Crescent addition
seemed doomed to destruction, and but
for the blowing up of two houses with
dynamite it undoubtedly would have
been burned.
The Remove fire company was tele-
graphed for and responded promptly
and rendered valuable service by their
hard work. AS it was out of the ques-
ton to extinguish the fire the best that
could be done was to keep water pour
ing on the stacks to keep the fire down
in order to save the tannery and other
bark stacks. 1t became apparent as the
fire approached the tannery that more
assistance would be necessary should
the wind change, and Chief Whitehill,
of Dubois, was telegraphed to bring one
of their fire engines and company down.
Supt. S. B. Rumsey, of the Valley road,
placed an engine, flat car and coach at
their disposal in quick order, and in
just one hour and thirty minutes from
the time they left Dubois they had water
playing on the tannery. They made two
stops-at Tyler and Medix Run.
There were 5000 tons of bark in the
three stacks, representing $4,000; in
surance S35, 600. The houses were in
sured for $3.50 each.
The tannery row residents succeeded
in removing all of their effects, although
great deal of ware was broken and
ruined in doing so.
The Messrs. Gleason have expressed
themselves in glowing terms of the
efficiency of the fire companies and
also for the good work of our citizens.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but following upon the heels of the
Fourth it was probably due to the fire.

Chief Whitehill praised the GOODNESS
displayed by Charles Gleason in con.
Quoting affairs. = Driftwood Gazette.

Struck by a Tree.

Charles Dean, who was at work on
bark job at Bobbys Run, was struck by
a tree last Saturday morning and re-
ceived cash five and one-half inches
long across the top of the head The
unfortunate young man was taken to
the mouth of the Run as quickly as
possible, where he was placed on a
hand car and brought to Emporium.
DR.. Smith dressed the wound, and at
present writing the injured man is
getting along nicely. Mr.. Dean bled
for three hours and twenty minutes
before receiving medical attention.

EMPORIUM, PA. THURSDAY JULY A. 1898.
A Contrast.

The burning of the steamer Della
ware, of the Clyde line, off the coast of
New Jersey on July 9th, having on
board seventy three souls, thirty-five
of whom were passengers, gives us
ample opportunity to compare the
actions of crew of cool and disciplin
ed men when in the midst of gravest
peril, as compared with the dastardly,
brutal conduct of the crew ofthe French
steamer La Bourgogne, in the recent
catastrophe off Sable Island, when
surrounded by peril no greater in
its character than that which confront
ed the crew of the Delaware.
The condition of the crew of the La
Bourgogne Immediately after the ac-
cident. was that of frenzied mob, fear
and panic had turned undisciplined
men into towards and brutes, who paid
no attention whateverto the commands
of the officers and were intent only on
saving their own lives, utterly regard
less of the safety of the women and
children entrusted to their care, to say
nothing of the male passengers, with
the result, that of the passengers, over
five hundred were lost, one woman
out of 300 being saved, while of the
11S men comprising the crow 105 were
saved.
Note the conduct of the brave officers
and crew on board the Delaware when
the boat was discovered to be on fire.
When Capt. Ingram found that the
flames could not be extinguished, be
ordered the ships four life.boats to be
lowered and all the women and children
to be taken on first; then the male pas
sengers were lowered into the other
| boats, leaving the crew to seek their
| salvation on raft that had been hast
lily constructed from the matches and
deck gratings, to be picked up later on,
by life-saving boat.
If this captain and similar crew had
been on the La Bourgogne there would
have been many more passengers saved
and probably none of the crew. Itwas
aship, ,officered by Yankees, with most of
the seamen Americans, and they lived
up, so the passengers say, to the very
best traditions of the Yankee merchant
marine: Women and children first,
and after that the male passengers"
All honor to the captain and gallant
crew of the Delaware.

Editor of Press
Kindly allow me through your col.
umns to call the attention of the Super,
visors to the condition of the Cameron
road at the point where tho old Br:tton
Hill road intersects. Whenever there is
a heavy shower the gravel is washed
down the latter road into the Cameron
road, making it almost impossible for
bicycles, and nearly 80 for other vehi-
cles. There is also quite an elevation
just on tho 1vst side IF tho above inter
section which should be cut down two
or three feet. Many other places on
this road need attention also.
