Sixteen are torpedo boat destroyers, averaging twenty niue knots speed, four are heav, barbor de- feuse monitors, one of a sister cruiser to the New Orleans and eighteen are torpedo boats.
 OLe of the most notable fscts abcnt this vast construction undertaking is is distribution, exhibiting the great change that has taken place in the shipbuiltiiog industry since, at the or. ganizatiou of the new navy, the first fonr ships were built by single finn. Today fourteen American concerns s,e building ships for the navy, aud oi these twelve are scattered along the Atlantic coast from Maine to Virginia, spd two are on the Pacific, at Portland and San Francisco. Ths shesthed cruiser alone is foreign. built. She was bought ou the stocks from Brazil when the war with Spain became inevitable, because Brazil would not sell one ship which the United States des,red with. out disposing of others vt the same time.
 The navy department needed the Amazonas, if for nothing else to pre-. vent Spain from getting her.

rlr. Henry Auchu'S Father Dead

Mr.. Henry Auchu returned last Satur-
day from St. Flavie, Quebec, where he
was called on the 9th inst. by telegram
informing him of his fathers serious
illness. Mr.. Auchu was panied to learn
upon his arrival at the old home that his
father had passed away the previous day
August 7th. PETER AUcHU was in
his SD year, and followed for more than
forty years the occupation OF milrght
and accumulated considerable property.
He was remarkable for his sturdy char
acter and prided himself upon the fact
that he had never taken drop or pill of
medicine in his life, neither had he ever
employed physician. His reputation
for honesty and uprightness is highly
spoken of. Deceased leaves a widow in
her I'D year, and two children, all
well to do and prosperous.

Letter from DIR. Baker.

Editor Press
Since leaving Emporium we have
visited in New York City, Wilmington,
Del; Harrisburg, Lewistown, Mont
gomery, Muncy, Hugesville, and are
now making short stay at Highland
Lake, as guests of DR.. and Mrs. Fl. M.
Essick, at "The Essick."
Highland Lake is situated in the
Alleghenies, $500 feet above sea level,
about twenty-six miles from Williams
port, six miles by stage from Chamouni,
on the Williamsport & North Branch
r. r.
The drive from Chamouni to the lake
is delightful, being a gradual ascent
through wild mountainous region.
The weather was very hot in the valley
but when we reached the summit all
remarked chow cool it is; how lovely"
Hot weather is unknown here; the air
is pure and cool and there is always a
nice breeze. Overcoats are in demand
in the evening, and at night blankets
can be used with comfort.
There are two hotels and a number
of cottages here. The Essick, owneT
by DR.. H. M. Essick, is the larger
the hotels, and has an EXCEPTIONAL.
fine location, commanding a view OF
the surrounding country for fifteen to
forty miles according to the condition
of the atmosphere. The Essick is a
four-story structure containing, with
its cottages, about two hundred rooms,
nearly all of which are now taken.
The building is surrounded on three
sides by broad veranda and is pro-
vided with fire escapes The grounds
are handsomely laid out in drives,
walks, tennis and croquet grounds,
golf links, flower gardens, etc.
In connection with the hotel is a
casino, on the first floor of which are
billiard and pool tables, bowling alleys,
and shuttle boards. The second floor
is fine dancing hall and is provided
with a piano. Crystal Lake, beauti-
ful sheet Of pure, cold, spring water, is
situated about one and a half miles
from The Essick and is the source of
water supply for the house and
grounds. There has recently been
added a system of baths, including
Turkish, electric needle, shower, ETC.,
which feature is an attraction for those
seeking health as well as pleasure.
The house is elegantly furnished
throughout and cuisine is all that the
most exacting could wish. The doctor
owns farm on the mountains and
produces most of the vegetables, eggs,
poultry, butter, milk, etc, used at the
hotel.
The doctor is at the hotel part of the
time, looking after the comfort of his
guests, but most of his time is taken
up with his extensive practice at
Picture Rocks. Mrs. Essick, the es-
timable wife of the proprietor, is con-
stantly at the hotel and makes all feel
perfectly at home. Highland Lake is
an ideal mountain resort, with every
thing conducive to rest, recreation,
health and comfort, and has none of
the Objectionable features often found
at summer resorts.
We expect to spend short time at
Eagles Mere, and a week or ten days
in Williamsport and then come home
to Emporium. Our health is good, and
it is needless to mention the fact that
we have enjoyed our "outing;;' but we
will be glad to get home. We expect
to be in Emporium by August 25th to
30th
Yours,
DR.. ALBRA w. BAKER.

The Street Paving Question.

The Street Paving Question.
Editor Press
SIR:-1 have been watching the
columns of the Press the past week OF
two i'll the hope that some citizen would
follow the lead Of your most sensible and
seasonable editorial of August 3, on
"Street Paving for Emporium -
"The world moves" and the time is
rapidly coming when no town, and es.
pecially no county seat, that expects tc
amount to anything; or to be thought by
outsiders to be anything but an old, back
number can possibly do business without
at least one paved street, You are right
Mr., Editor, when you say that our
Fourth street paved with brick would be
one of the handsomest streets in the
state. 1t would present much finer
appearance than we can easily imagine
However, the benefit to public health
and morals would greatly overshadow
any aesthetic consideration. Dust carries
disease germs, and the mechanical irrita-
ton of particles Of dust on the tender
membranes of the eyes, nose, ear and
throat is injurious in the extreme, caus-
ing catarrhal diseases and a long train of
disorders
L will admit that IA man may be good
Christian under any and all circumstances
but it is mighty strain on any mans
Christianity to have a couple of quarts
OF filthy dust sitted down the back of his
neck every time he attempts to cross the
street.
Can we afford to pave Fourth street ?
Yes, we can if we think so. The ex.
pense need not be great. have before
me several bids for street paving in Lima
Ohio, which were published there about
two weeks ago. One Of these bidders
offers to do the work at these figures
Excavation 20c., crushed stone founda-
ton 22c., paving 76c. per square yard
This includes labor and material and as
will be seen amounts to $l.18 per square
yard, or about 1891 per front foot for a
street 60 feet wide, as Fourth street Is
However, tor Emporium, we may cut
out the crushed stone as Fourth street
already has first-class foundation il
position, viz: Cinders two feet thick
packed hard by ten years traffic This
is better than crushed stone and equal tC
concrete for our purposes. We may alsC
cut out at least halt the cost of excava
ton which brings our figures down t.
soc. per square yard, bringing cost fo
fourth street down to $500 per from
foot.
We can secure curbing stone foul
inches thick and two feet wide, placed il
position at 25c. per incal foot, thu
bringing the entire expense of curbin!
and paving, material and labor, down t.
S3.25 per front foot ond perhaps ever
lower than that. If thought desirabl
the roadway through the residence par
of the street might be paved only abou
% or 20 feet and the sides parked, whicl
produces a pleasing effect at saving i
expense Of Sl.00 to 81. % per foot.
If the owners Of abutting property ar
willing to stand a fair and reasonabl
share of the expense the borough ough
to be, and is, able to pave Fourth stree
and to do it now We are not ready, @
course, and never shall be- Let us paw
it now and get ready afterwards.

blossom into womanhood, you knew her
as young woman and you knew her
hopes and her ambitions.
She was my wife, | knew her heart.

"Bounty Coats"

Washlngton's army was nicknamed
by the British "The Homespuns." 1t
was n sneering but truthful name, for
the American soldiers We're clothed In
garments woven and made by patriotic
women.
The supplies for the Continental
army were in the summer of 1875 so
scanty that the Provincial Congress
made demand on the people of New
England for thirteen thousand warm
coats, to be ready for the soldiers by
.old weather. The daughters, wives
AND mothers throughout the country at
s,,re started MP wool wheels and hand
