PRESIDENT HAS DOUBTS

Especial Correspondence Of the Eagle.)
Washington, Dec 1.-THE Topeka Cap
ita1 recently printed a story from here
that Mrs. J. Q. Thompson of Pratt would
not be a commissioner to the Paris ex-
position, a position she sought, and in
ferred that her failure was attributable
to Senator Baker and members Of the
Kansas delegation. This theory did not
fit the facts in the case While Mrs
Thompson had an excellent line Of in
dorsements; while she was here for weeks
seeking the place; while she was not sue
cessful, the fault did not lie at the door
of the Kansas delegation nor any men,
Der thereof. The president some time ago
advised the delegation that Mrs. Thomp-
son could not be appointed; that if he
named any Kansan it would be James
Allison Of Wichita. Later, he told Mrs.
in person, and several of the
Kansas delegation that he could not ap-
point her and assured her that no other
kansan would get the place. This was
before Senator Bakers arrival here, and
he was notified of the presidents atti-
tude and decision before he got to Wash
ington. Since this was the case, the en-
tire delegation, including Senator Baker,
could not urge the claims of any Kansan,
and did not do so.

The Washington Post recently printed
the following story on the Paris COM
missioners: president Mckinley is be-
ing asked by club women all over the
country to appoint Mrs. Potter almer
of Chicago, as one of the commissioners
to the Paris exposition of 1900. Not only
have the presidents of the great ma
tional organizations of women interested
themselves in this movement during the
last few days, but so have individual
members of prominence. There is ru-
NOR that President Mckinley hesitates
to place the name Of a woman on the
commission, on the ground Of legality"
The Post then discusses the question as
to the legality of woan occupying the
position. and it is said that the president
is so impressed with the seriousness Of
the matter that he certainly Will not ap-
point any woman as a member Of the
Paris commission.

Murder Near Clarified.

CLEARFIELD, July 81. c. Har-
mon. a prominent merchant of
Penfeld, this county, to-day killed
Esekiel Hewitt, a well to do farmer.
Hewitt called at Harmon's store to
settle his accounts. A dispute
arose and Harmon ordered Hewitt
to leave the store. The latter re-
fused to go and struck Harmon,
knocking him down.
When Harmon arose he seized a
two pound weight and threw it at
his assailant, striking him on the
forehead and killing him instantly.
Hermon gave himself up and the
coroner will investigate the affair
tomorrow. The whole community
is shocked as both men were highly
respected.

Serious Accident.

Robt. Robinson, who drives Geo. j.
LaBar's furniture delivery wagon, met
with a painful accident, last Friday,
that may result in the loss of his right
eye. While shearing one of his horses
fetlocks, the horse suddenly raised it's
leg, driving the points of the shears
into his right eye. Drs. Bardwell and
DeLong were called and did what
they could for the young man, no
serious results being anticipated at the
time, yet the physicians stated that
complications might set in and de-
stroy the eye. He rested easy until
Tuesday when the pain caused him to
suffer so greatly that his doctors advis-
ed that he be taken to specialist. Mr..
Robinson left this Thursday morning
for Toronto Hospital for treatment.
We fear the injury may cause the loss
of the eye, in fact it may have to be
removed in order to save the other eye.
His friends here hope he may be bene.
fitted at the Toronto institution.

Diamond Pins Awarded.

The New York Life Insurance Com
pany early in the year 1899 offered q
prize of a diamond pin to 10 of the
5000 agents employed in the United
States and Canada who wrote and
placed the largest number of policies
during the month of March, 1899. The
result of the contest was announced
the last of June, Pennsylvania being
awarded four of the prizes-two to the
Philadelphia, one to Pittsburg and one
to the Erie branches. Mr.. Don M. Lar
rabee, of Emporium, was the lucky
winner of the prize in the Erie district,
standing S0th in a list of 300. He has
received tie prize and is justly proud
of his reward, secured by hard work
up here in the mountains. The dia-
mond pin is in the design of a life
buoy, about which is wound a golden
rope, having in its centre the Ameri-
can flag.

to state that "the boys were rob-
bed" and to tell how much the
umpire knew about the game and
that che had forgotten enough
about the game to fill a book
and a large one too, considering
what he didn't know about the
game-and praises the Jersey
Colts" who were vanquished by
the Austin aggregation, and who
robbed Emporium, and who, when
on the verge of being beaten by
Smethport, kick out of the game
for fear of losing their gold brick"
reputation.
Considering the source from which
such rot emanates, [ beg to be ex-
cused for indulging in further
compliments to this foolish rabble
except to say that | never iteratcd
that the boys were robbed of the
game, practically, but that they
were robbed of an even chance of
winning, and fair play was a
foreign phrase to those lOoters OF
public confidence.
Fortunately, no visiting organ
ization ever came to our "2x4"
county but what went away with
full stomachs and happy hearts and
spoke in the highest words of
praise and commentator of the
kind-hearted and chivalrous people
who inhabit it.
We sincerely hope that the
Jersey Colts" will again visit our
town and play the return game
and we can assure them of the
most cordial treatment by our peo-
pie and by the Firemen's Athletic
Association, and, whatever the re-
suit, our people will be satisfied,
because they know that no "dirty"
ball playing is INDUCED in at this
place, as the people who support
the team are appealed to from d
moral sense Of justice not to permit
it. w.

DETERMINED TO DIE.
Two Attempts of an Elmira School
Teacher to Commit Suicide.

ELMIRA, June 30.-Two sensa-
tional attempts at self-destruction
were made by Miss Mary S. Bos-
worth, a well-known and promin-
ent school teacher of this city, this
morning. Miss Bosworth resides
at the corner of Balsam and
Franklin streets with the remain
der of the family. Shortly after
/ o'clock this morning she awoke
the members of the household with
/ her movements. and when they
found her she was standing in the
center of one of the living rooms
with a pair of scissors clasped
tightly in her hands. Before her
relatives could get to her she had
gouged the pointed ends into her
throat. She tried desperately to
repeat the performance, but was
held firmly by relatives until as
sistance arrived, when, with the
aid Of medical attendance, she was
quieted down. and by 9 O'Clock
was apparently in her usual cheer
full mood.
At about 9:3O o'clock she was
taken out for walk with two at
tendants as it was thought that
the outdoor air would be benei-
cial. She had walked but a short
distance down Franklin street and
was not more than a block from
her home when she broke away
from her companions and running
out into the street threw herself
on to the tracks in front of a
rapidly approaching West Side
street car. By almost superhuman
efforts the motorman brought the
car to standstill just in time to
save her from being crushed under
the wheels. Once more she was
removed to her home and quieted
= down.
In the same house in which she
resides is an invalid woman who is
in the city for medical attendance
and during the forenoon Miss Bos-
worth threatened her life. Pre-
vious to this time they have always
been on the best of terms.
A commission, consisting of Drs.
/ f. II. Flood and A. II. Baker, ex-
amined the teacher at noon to-day,
and declared her insane. She will
be taken to the Binghamton State
Hospital tomorrow. 1t was
learned that four years ago Miss
Bosworth suffered an attack OF
typhoid fever and the attempts at
suicide to-day are attributed to the
sudden giving way Of her mind as
a result of this illness.
Policeman have been guarding
the house to-day to prevent ber
from escaping from the care of at
tendants and creating any more
disturbance. Rochester On. Y. J

A Sunday School Without Singing
Books

The M. e. Sunday school of this
place will not use singing books in
their school next Sunday, but good
music, both old and new will be sung,
touching on the subject of the lesson,
''The Hebrews in the Fiery Furnace
Singing by the school,
Should earth against my soul engage,
And fiery darts be hurled,
Then can smile at Satan's rage,
And face q frowning world.
The new responsive service will be
a composition on the Lords Prayer,
that was found in Charleston, S. c.,
during the Civil War, followed by
singing the old piece, 'Safe within the
Vail"
A violin solo.
Singing by the school,
1t may not be on the mountains heights,
Or over the stormy sea;
And it may not be at the battles front
My Lord will have need of me,
But if by still small voice he calls
To paths that do not know
I'll answer, dear Lord,wit my hand in thine1
I'll go where you want me to go.
A solo, "Never Alone"
I've seen the lightning flashing
And heard the thunder roll
I've felt sins breakers dashng,
Trying to conquer my soul;
I've heard the voice of my Savior,
Telling me still to fight on;
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.
Singing by the school and joined in
by the primary children,
There's not an hour that he is not near us,
No, not one No, not one!
No night so dark, but his love can cheer us,
No, not one! No, not one!
Jesus knows all about our struggles,
He will guide till the day is done:
There's not q friend like the owly Jesus,
No, not one! No, not one
Announcement next Sunday OF how
twenty-five members of the school can
get prize next Christmas.
School will open at II o'clock and
continue one hour. Ifyou do not at
tend Sunday school elsewhere, you
are cordially invited to be present at
this interesting service next Sunday.

Base Ball.

The game at Sterling Run on the
Fourth was one Of the finest exhi-
bitions of base ball that the people
of Emporium has had the pleasure
of witnessing this season, on the
part of the Emporium team, there
being but one or two errors on
their side, those not being costly.
The boys all put up a fine game,
and everybody seemed we'll pleased
with the showing which they made.
In the beginning it was very
evident that Sterling Run was not
in it in the least.
Overturf pitched magnificent
ball, striking out nine men and
failing to make single miscue in
giving a man a base on balls or
hitting a battsman, while Freil
was trihe wild, hitting three men
and giving several bases on balls,
after which some of those who
walked to first base afterward
scored. Freil was hit hard in the
first, seventh and nineth innings,
our boys batting him almost at
will, every man in the team get
ting a hit off his delivery. His
support was also poor, Sterling
Run S imported players not prov
ing as valuable as was at first an
ticipated.
In the first inning our boys went
at it in fine shape, batting in four
runs before being retired, Sterling
Run, then taking their turn, fan
ned out in order, being unable to
scot. Neither side scored again
un' the seventh inning, when
Emporium added two more runs
to their list and then retired,
In this inning Sterling Run made
their first and only run of the
game, on what might be termed an
eXcUsable error. Neither side
scored in the eighth, Emporium
batting in three more runs in the
ninth, Sterling Run not being able
to score.
The features of the game were
the one hand catch by More of
Sterling and the double play by
Overturf, George and Farrell, of
Emporium.
