Secret of the Academic Franc aise.

In connection with the reception OF
M de Nogne by the French Academy,
it is noted that the new academician
made his opening address facing to-
ward the southwest pillar of the hall.
So has every new academician since
1S19-since, in fact, the admission of
the Able Maury. who, feeble in voice
and fearing d faseo for his reception
speech, went to the hall some days in
advance 10 tess lis Voice. Turning
slowly round as he spoke he neticcd
a clear echo as he faced the sou. invest
pillar. Several tests confirmed the
result, AID Maury went away happy
His reception was a brilliant success.
He afterWard gave his secret away,
and no academician has ever been
known to ignore it.-London Globe

Melbourne and Sydney prevents

grammar, and illustrates the incon-
venience of pressing Greek words into
English molds.-Lcndon Chronicle.

Former Emporium LADY, Weds.

Mr.. and Mrs. William L. Tiffany, of
Lumberton, N. j., have issued cards
announcing the marriage of their
niece, Margaret Mckinney Bardwell
formerly of Emporium to Mr.. George
McCurdy, on Nov. 11th.
The Philadelphia Ledger says: "At
the summer residence of the BRIDES
uncle, William l.. Tiffany, at Lumber
ton N. j., yesterday, George McCurdy,
President of Common Council, and Mrs.
Margaret Mckinney Bardwell were
quietly married by Rev. l. Mench
Chambers, of the First Presby yterian
Church. The wedding came as great
surprise to Mr.. McCurdy's friends in
this city. Owing to the recent death
fthe bridegroom's mother, the we'd
ding was extremely quiet. After the
ceremony Mr.. and Mrs McCurdy went
to Atlantic City on their wedding tour.
AS Councils meet week from to.
morrow, Mr.. McCurdy will then have
to be in Philadelphia, and his friends
in the Tenth Ward and at City Hall are
planning Il warm welcome for him."

Every Day Thoughts.

Some men take it as sort of a joke
on them to be called-mister.
Every man who takes charge of a
business thinks he has to make lot of
changes.
Nothing feels 80 good as to rest when
you are tired.
Nobody ever talks too little, but q
great many talk too much.
Some folks have lightsin their parlors
so seldom that it causes talk when they
do light up.
Singers never get credit for knowing
much else.
A man telling questionable stories is
bad enough, but when woman begins
excuse us.
Whenever men get on good terms
they want to take n drink together.
You needn't try to deny being fool.
We can prove it by half the people in
town
Everybody gets tired of looking at
other peoples warts,

The Brockway Grand Concert
Company.

The managers of the Star Course are
entitled to the thanks of their patrons
for the high quality of the musical en-
tertainment with which the course was
opened Tuesday evening. The ap-
plauae, frequent and hearty, was a
gratifying proof that our public knows
how to enjoy the artistic rendering of
music of a higher order than that which
is commonly called popular. The
Bro >kway Grand Concert Company is a
stron., combination throughout. Mr..
Woodard, the violinist, is nephew of
Mr.. Butler who appeared in the Star
Course last year.
Mr.. Woodland plays with a quiet
abandon, which imparts to his music,
such an immediacy and pervasiveness
as render the eurapt hearer almost un-
conscious of the artist and his instru-
ment. Miss Bentley's rendering of
Chopin's "Polonaise Militaire" was es-
pecially pleasing, as was also the Spring
Song duet hyMrs. Alton Littleton Smith
and Mr.. Carberry. A delight to lovers
of Browning was Mr.. Carberry's render
ing of the poets lyric "Marching
Along.n

Struck. Oil Near Lock Haven.

Last Saturday oil was struck at Lock
Haven in the we'll on the Gummo farm
in the Tangascootac region. TheOil and
Gas Co., was formed about year ago
and is composed mostly of Toronto,
Canada capitalists. The oil is pro-
nounced to be of fine quality better,
in fact, than the product of wells of es-
tablished fields.
Another Oil and Gas Co., has been
organized composed of Lock Haven
capitalists, who have leased 100 acres of
land short distance from the Gummo
farm and q we'll will be started soon.

Death of an Italian,

Geusippi Pederose, an Italian, was
brought from Emporium here on Satur-
night, suffering with pneumonia. He
was taken to the hospital where treat
ment was given him, but the exposure
he had received the night before in the
ride from Emporium here, made it inn
possible to do anything for him, and he
died on Sunday. He was 80 years of
age, and had only been in this country
about a year. The funeral was held
from Haights undertaking rooms to-
day and the remains were inferred in
the cemetery at this place.-Austin Re-

Mr.. Dornan's Leg was Amputated.

To settle the question as to whether
or not it would be advisable to ampu-
tate Mr.. H. @. Dornan's leg which was
broken in the accident of a week ago
DR.. Roswell Park, the eminent surgeon
of Buffalo, was summoned here Satur-
day evening. He Immediately decided
that amputation was the wisest course
to pursue, and the operation was per-
formed that night, requiring about
twenty-five minutes time. The mem
ber was severed about an inch above
the knee, and the knee cap and skin
brought down over the end of the sever
ed bone, making a long anterior flap
and sort of cushion for the bone. In
this manner it was possible to put all
the necessary stitches at the back of the
leg. 1t is considered that after Mr..
Dornan secures an artificial limb he will
be able to walk better and with greater
ease than he has for several years
When an opening was made at the knee
it was found that the joint had become
solidified, even the knee cap having be-
come adhered to the bone, requiring
considerable work to remove it The
operation was considered very sue
cessful one, and it is expected that Mr.
Dornan's recovery will be rapid

II. p. Spence Instantly Killed In Saw
MilI-Head, Both Arms and one
Leg Sawed Off.


Our citizens were Mortified, last Mon
day morning when informed that II. P.
Spence had been instantly killed while
working in his saw mill on the lands of
Emporium Iron Company, on the noun

had just moved his mill from More Hill

used in erecting houses for the coal
miners to be employed at Cameron
mines and had only that day commenc-

After cutting a log he attempted to
brace himself to roll over the log when
he pushed his left leg into the circular
saw. In an instant he was drawn onto
the saw, severing his head, both arms
and left leg. His workmen were struck
dumb when they saw their employers

II. P. Spence came to this county about
twenty years ago and purchased farm
on More Hill, then barren waste BY
hard work he carved out one of the
best farms in the county. AS citizen
and neighbor Mr.. Spence had few
equals. Kindness, to fault, was one of
| his leading traits, and no person, friend
or foe, ever received other than kind
/ ness at his hands. 1t was his am i
able disposition that drew and held his
friends. A kind and indulgent hus-
band that he was will be sadly missed
by his bereaved wife, children and
brothers. He served in the war of the
rebellion and was a member of Lieut.
D. W. Taggart Post, G. A. r., many
members of that organization attend
ing the funeral.
The following relatives attended the
funeral: Mr.. o. P. Spence, Mr.. w. S.
Spence, Milestone, Pa; B. L. Spence
and wife, Mr.. and Mrs. E. d. Mumford,
(daughter,) Wade Spence, (son,) EN-
porium; William Stoughton, Dubois;
Jas. Barr and wife, Butler, Pa. l.. w.
another brother, who resides on More
Hill, is in a very feeable condition and
unable to be present at the funeral.
The PRESS, as we'll as our citizens
generally, extends their deepest sym
pathy to the bereaved family.
