The Famous Troubadours.

Among the specialties of the Trouba-
dours is Miss Nettie Taylor, lqueen of
instrumentalists; William A Baynard,
speciality pianist; Ben Toledo, unsur-
mountable jnggler, whose wonderful
skill in the art of balancing holds all
audiences spell bound, and Montrose
Douglass, trick bicyclist and unicyclist
presenting turn in trick bicycle riding
that is hard to be equalled, and Walter
Jones, dancing comedian and tambor-
inc artist, all of which are very good
numbers. And in conclusion we can
only say that each group of footlight
charmers appear more dashing and
handsome than it's predecessor, and
that collectively the chorus is the bes t
heard here for some time. They will
appear at the opera House on Oct. 81
one night only.

Climbing Up.

John d. Morrissey, of Superior,
Wis, arrived in Emporium last week
to visit his mother few days and talk
over old times with his Emporium
friends. While in town the rREss en-
joyed visit from this energetic young
gentleman, who left here for the west
fourteen years. That he has shown
his friends what perseverance will do,
coupled with strict attention to busi-
nes7, isa self-evident fact. Mr.. Nor
rissey is general agent of the Duluth,
South Shore & Atlantic r. r., at Sup
erior, Wis, where he has charge of
four agencies and twenty.seven clerks.
F. M. Cole, also an old Emporium boy,
is Mr.. Morrissey's cashier.
Certainly Emporium is proud of the
boys she has turned out upon the busi-
ness world. They are many and in al.
most every instance have rapidly
climbed the ladder of industry, perse-
verance and responsibility. Would
that more of our young men would
follow in the foot steps of those who
have passed out into the business
world. This world is full of opportu-
mites, just as good as it ever was, for
right kind of material.

The Gamble Recital.

The largest audience of the week
heard the best entertainment of the
Institute series at the opera house, last
Thursday night. This is not to dispar-
age the others, as all were delightful
in their way and well deserved the
generous applause they received.
Ernest Gamble, however, is an Empo-
rum favorite, and the good opinion
entertained of his work year ago,
gained strength and prestige by his re-
cital on Thursday evening,
1t would be difficult to describe his
voice and the task will not here be at
tempted. Suffice to say, that all those
qualities desired in a professional sing
er but withall so seldom found, he
possesses in an unusual degree.
Breadth and purity, smoothness, sweet
ness and richness of voice added to a
rare charm and magnetism of manner,
make him almost the ideal concert
artist.
Mr.. Edwin M. Shonert, pianist, and
Miss Bertha Webb, violinist, were
equally superb in their respective roles.
In associating with himself artists of
such marked ability, Mr.. Gamble has
given to his company an unchallenged
pre-eminence among all similar organ
izations. Mr.. Shonert's superior as q
pianist has never appeared on the
local stage. His auditors were charm
ed with his intelligent and sympathetic
Interpretation of the classic compost
tions of the old masters, while Miss
Webb's violin solos were finely exc
cuted and received with every evil

The discussion brought out the follow
ing questions. What the prizes should
be ?-medals or money deposited in

dollars will be given the winner, and if
it proves satisfactory and benefits the

Gone to Memorial Home.

Mrs. John Pepper, of Sterling Run,
widow of the old soldier who died at
that place some time ago, having been
in poor health since her husbands
death and unable to care for herself,
the facts became known to the Wo-
mans Relief Corps of Emporium who
promptly took up the matter, inquir:
ing into the details, finally arranged to
have the old lady conveyed to and
cared for at the Brookville Memorial
Home. Mrs. r. p. Heilman, who is
president of the Corps, started last
Tuesday, with Mrs. Pepper for
Brookville, where she will be carefully
cared for. The Corps has assumed the
care of her property, which they offer
for sale and hope to be able to realize
sufficient from it to pay her outstand-
ing accounts and her expenses at the
Home.

Should be Stopped.

There seems to be large num-
Der of impostors begging from house
to house and otherwise imposing on
our citizens this fall, some of these in
dividuals being able-bodied men, and
if their request is refused will make
an impudent remark to the person not
complying with their demand. While
there undoubtedly are some unfortu-
mates among these beggars, we think
they should stay where they belong
and not impose on strangers. Our
authorities should take up this matter
and put stop to this imposition on our
people, who have enough to do to
take care of their own poor without
being bothered and insulted by other
peoples.

Donald, the five year old child of Mr..
and Mrs. Ernest Hollowill, died at their
home on East Fifth street, Friday
evening, Oct. % of brain disease. The
bright little fellow had been i'll for some
weeks, his sickness defying the best eff
forts of his physician to effect a cure.
Funeral services were held at the home
last Saturday afternoon by the Rev. o.
S. Metzler. Much sympathy is mani
tested for the parents in their affliction.

Warm Reception rendered Rev. w.
A. Pugsley and Wife, at Erie.


One of fFthe most pleasant social
gatherings in the history of the Sec
ond Baptist church was held last night
at the church, corner Twenty-third and
Reed streets, in the form of q recep-
tion to their new pastor Rev. w. A.
Pugsley and wife, who commenced
their labors with them Oct. 4, 1908.
The auditorium of the church was we'll
filled with members of the several
Baptist churches of the city and
goodly number of their invited friends.
A lengthy program was rendered in
which number of the clergy of the
city spoke warm words of welcome to
the Rev. gentleman and his wife.
The response to the words of wei
come were very feelingly responded to
by Rev. w. A. Pugsley, giving the
speakers and hearers few of his well
chosen remarks as to his ambitions
and desires for the building up of
strong church, and thanking all for
the hearty welcome extended to him.
self and wife,

Hicks the congregation was introduced
to Rev Pugsley and his estimable wife,
Deacon Hicks and wife acting as host
and hostess, after which the visitors
and members retired to the very tastily
arranged dining room in the basement
of the church, where the good things
prepared by the Ladies' Aid society
were discussed at some length. Covers
wer spread for $50, two large tables
we'll filled with the things that appear
to the inner man.
Rev. w. A. Pugsley came to Erie
with fattering testimonials from his
former charge at Emporium, Pa, and
from leading citizens of that place,
That his departure was sincerely, re-
GREETED is attested by letter from the
clerk of the First Baptist church of
Emporium, and that his retirement
was deplored by the people of Empori-
um generally is evidenced by letters
from Hon. HI. H. Mullin, member Of
Legislature from Cameron county, @. E.

bank, and number of Emporium's
foremost people.-Erie Times.

The Death of David L. Barber.

The PRESS last week gave announce.
ment of the horrible death of David L.
Barber, near Driftwood. The Drift
wood Gazette says:
The following day workmen shifted
every part of the debris and found part
of dogs skull and $75 in gold, but
not trace of the unfortunate mans
remains could be found. Some people
are of the opinion that he became Graz.
ed and, during the absence of his wife,
rushed from the burning building and
wandered off into the woods, while
Others believe that he was cremated
beneath large pile of brick which
we're still red hot eighteen hours after
the house was in ashes. The latter
theory is no doubt the correct one, as
the searchers found pocket knife,
match box and the rim of a pocket
book which, Mrs. Barber declares, he
always carried.
Mr.. Barber was aged 81 years, and
resided in this county great many
years. He owned two farms, also a
property in town, but the supposition
That he had considerable money hoard
ed has been disproved. Besides his
wife, he is survived by one brother,
Amos, who is also we'll known and
highly respected citizen of this place.
Since the above was placed in type,
part of bone, about four inches in
length, has been found but whether it
is part or Mr.. Barber's or the dogs re-
mains is not yet known.

being the fosterers and promoters of
such an enterprise. The talent has

from his yard to the street walk. The

quite frosty he slipped and fell, strik-

some of his ribs. He suffers great
pain and no doubt will be confined to
his residence for some time.
