entertainment was given at the home
of Mrs. Helen Metzger last Friday
evening by the @. S. c., new club,
having for its first object the purchas-

to expect in the future, all may look
forward to most unique and charm
ing evening.

Death of rliss Lulu Schnyder.

When death takes the young, the
good, and the true it always seems
dou' y sad, and hard to bear.
LULU SCHNEIDER, Oldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. William Schuyler, died
in Emporium, Wednesday, October 10Th,
at twelve O'Clock, noon, aged Ia years,
one month and Is days, after an illness
of about three weeks of typhoid fever
complicated by meningitis. Lulu
Schuyler, was one of the best be-
loved and most ambitious scholars
in the Emporium High School.
1t was not enough for her to
work for Diploma, but it was her
ambition, and her firm determination
to, graduate at the head Of her class,
and could she have been spared she
would no doubt have succeeded. She
held the record for attendance in the
Emporium schools and in the Sabbath
school in which she attended. During
her entire school life she was never
absent one day.
To become teacher, to make name
for herself, to help her parents, and to
do good in the world, such were the
worthy ambitions of this noble girl, so
sadly stricken down when scarcely up
on the Threshold of life.
To the sorrowing schoolmates and
! friends, and to the heartbroken family
! the Press extends its most sincere and
heart felt sympathy.
The funeral services will be held at
the Emmanuel Episcopal church next
I Saturday at two O'Clock p. M.

served with Harry in the session of '95
and knows whereof he speaks when he
says that no county in the State had a
more Jealous or industrious member in
the House when the interest of his
people were at stake, or needful atten.

counties could boast of Cameron
county il normally Republican by about
300 The majority for Mr.. Mullin
should not fall vote below that figure.

EMPORIUM PA. THURSDAY OCTOBER 16, 1902.
Newspaper Men and Politics.

With the approach of the fall cam
paign we have been impressed with the
number of newspaper men who have
been rendered nominations for office
We are inclined to look upon this as a
hopeful tendency, and to disagree with
the ultraconservatives who urge that a
newspaper man should remain free from
personal interests in politics lest he be
unduly influenced thereby in the matter
which he puts before the public.
AS matter of fact, the newspaper
man has many qualifications which es-
pecially suit him for the holding of
public Office. His training from its be-
ginning has been toward a dispassionate
criticism of everything that pertains to
public affairs. He is taught to look
without prejudice upon the questions of
the day and above all to deal with facts.
In this he comes to be the champion of
the people and of the cause of the great
est good to the greatest number. He
relies on the approval of the masses from
whom he gets his support in his crusade
against greed and injustice, as against
the favor of clique or ring that seeks
to subordinate him and the policy ofhis
paper to whims and selfish interests Of
party leaders. Yet in it all he has his
opinion aud is expected to have.if he is
to be of any force in his chosen field
Again, the editor's intimate know
ledge of public questions and his close
study of the same especially fits him for
their consideration in the capacity of
public servant. The men of affairs,
with the enormous complexities of busi-
ness that confront him, has time only
for the most superficial glance at the
questions of the day, while the news
paper man comes constantly in contact
with them in the daily routine of his
work. An intimate knowledge of the
trend ofpublic opinion becomes as much
his stock in trade as an intelligent COM
prehenslon of the influences on the
markets become that of the broker.
Further than this the manifold duties
that fall upon the editor, the necessity
of adapting himself to various condi-
tions, and his habit of fluent expression,
all prepare him for the discussion of
live problems and for assuming the
duties of public life in whatever capa-
city he may be chosen.
Where can be found better men to
represent the people in their legislative
bodies than their champions of the
press? 1t is fact to be lamented that
the men of leisure and of suave and
genial manners are making their way
into public life and taking the places of
men of convictions and men of force.
The business man finds little to attract
him in public life. The remuneration
is small and the tasks arduous and often
thannkless IL is seldom that he cares
to ieopardize his personal interests in
the service of the people. Again we
look upon the choosing of representa-
tives of the press as a potent influence
in correcting an evil tendency, and be-
lieve that they will prove deserving of
the confidence placed in them in the
future as they have in the past.-Editor
and Publisher, N. Y.

Fine Attractions.

OF the four evening entertainments to
be given in the Teachers Institute
Course next week, have heard three
and regard them as ofexceptional excel
lence. Edward Elliotts impersona-
tion of David Harum is inimitable. Be-
fore an audience of seven thousand he
appeared in this play at Chautauqa, N.
Y, last summer and created the great
est enthusiasm.
Ernest CANDLES superior as Basso l
have never heard. To a marvellous
voice he adds magnetic and pleasing
personality, while his supporting CON-
pany is the best. Thomas Dixon alone
is worth the price Of a course ticket.
None can afford to miss these superb
attractions.

PoPE,s TEMPORAL POWER.
Its Recognition Causes No offense {
Italy.

Rome, June 13.-The news from
America that it is feared there that the
Taft mission to the pope may disturb
the good relations between Italy and
the United States causes surprise here.
In the name of the most authoritative
parsonage in the government it can be
asserted that the Italian policy since
1870 has always been directed to dem
onstrate that even without the tenn
poral power the pontiff enjoys COM
plete liberty of independence, AMI as
the Italian law of guarantee considers
him as a sovereign, he can be likewise
considered and treated with by the
foreign powers.
In fact, even the friends and allies of
Italy maintain that representatives are
accredited to the vatican. Germany has
two legations, one Bavarian and one
Prussian, while the king Of Portugal, a
cousin of the king of Italy, has an en-
bassy accredited to the vatican, and
only a legation to the quirinal.
Thus, no feeling can be produced in
the kingdom by temporary or. even
should it be possible, definite relations
between the United States and the loly
see. The parsonage concluded: The
relations between Washington and
Rome are excellent as proved by the
cordial words of the king to Ambassa-
dor Meyer before the latter's depar-
ture"
Governor Taft, having completed the
preparatory work for the conference
with the representatives of the vatican
paid official visits to the Spanish, Aus
trian and French ambassadors accred-
tied to the vatican and visited also
Cardinals Serafino, Vacutelli and Sa-
tolli. The latter recalled with extreme
pleasure the years spent in America
and asked the whole mission to lunch
Sunday, when he celebrates the foru-
eth anniversary of his ordination as
priest by the present pope, then Arch
bishop Perugia.

TO ADVANCE cowIE.
Senator Allison Seeking Promotion for
an Old Friend.

Washington, June Ex-senator Alli-
son is making strenuous efforts to have
his old friend Thomas j. Cowie, who
stands twelfth on the list of paymas-
ters, made pay inspector in the navy.
Lieutenant Commander Cowie is at.
present on the European station, and
Senator Allison hopes to jump him over
the head of Mitchell Charles McDon-
aid. who is Cowie's senior by about a
year in the pay corps of the navy
These changes are brought about by the
retirement of several pay inspectors,
and that is a grade higher than pay
master. Senator Allison. who always
stands up for Iowa and its interests, is
anxious to have Cowie enjoy the high
er grade.
Lieutenant Commander Cowie en-
tered the service June 16, 1880, while
Mcdonald entered the service on March
3, 1879. Ordinarily promotions are
made on account of length of service,
but with Senator Allison backing Cow
lie, as is also Senator Lodge, who is a
family connection of Cowie the fight be-
comes interesting, as undoubtedly the
Pennsylvania delegation will stand at
McDonald's back.

MANY DIE In FIRE.

Philadelphia, June 1s.-Fire broke
out this afternoon In the mill of Ros-
enblatt and Company, manufacturers
of leather goods at Second and OK
ford streets. 1t destroyed that plant
and several adjoining properties. The
fire is still spreading.
The police report eight bodies in the
ruins. Over twenty persons We're in
jured as a result of jumping from the
windows Of falling walls.
1t is believed the fire started In the
celluloid department of the leather
works. Within ten minutes the entire
plant was ablaze and the fire escapes
proved inadequate. There were 200 girls
at work who Immediately stampeded
and made for the fire escapes. Many
were knocked down and trampel upon,
and others jumped to the pavement be-
low. Eight girls are missing. The fire
at 2:30 was reported under control.
Three bodies We're taken from the
ruins at S:15. The firemen state at least
a dozen persons perished in the flames.

construction.
Peace Reception Was Held at
the Palace in London
To-day.

London June 13.-King Edward held
q special court at Buckingham palace
today for the reception of addresses
from the lord mayor, the corporation
and London council, congratulating his
majesty on the restoration of peace.
The king took occasion to express his
sentiments on the subject more fully
than heretofore. and the tactful recog-
qualities of the Beers will doubtless
materially aid in the work of appease-
ment of South Africa.
His majesty, surrounded by his
household, received the city dignitar-
les in the throne room, and, replying to
the lord mayors address, said:
Il heartily join in your expression OF
thankfulness to Almighty God for the
termination of the struggle which,
while it entailed on my people at home
and beyond the sea so many sacrifices,
borne with admirable fortitude, has
secured a result which will give in
creased unity and strength to my en-
pire. The cordial and spontaneous ex-
ertions in all parts of my dominions. as
well as in your ancient and loyal city,
have done much to bring about this
happy result.
You give fitting expression to the
admiration universally felt for the val
CIR and endurance of the officers and
men who have ben engaged in fighting
their country's battles. They have
been opposed by brave and gallant
people and had to encounter unexam-
pied difficulties. These difficulties We're
cheerfully overcome by steady and per-
sistent effort. and those who were our
opponents will now, l rejoice to think,
become our frineds. 1t is my earnest
hope that by mutual co cooperation and
goodwill the bitter feeling of the past
may speedily be replaced by ties of
loyalty and friendship. and that an era
of peace and prosperity may be in store
for South Africa"
