Dear Old Mother.

When time scatters white flakes over
the once dark glossy hair of the dear
old mother, and plants furrows on the
cheek which you can remember as once
being smooth and pink then is the time
to love and cherish even more tenderly
than ever before, that mother in the
home. The eye may be dim, but it
never fails to grow with love for man
or woman who was once her little
child, her sands of time are nearly run
out, but her affections will last to the
end. Then watch over her, as she
watched over you; cheer her declining
years with your never waning devot-
ion. She is your mother, whose place
no other has or even can fill. For years
she gathered you in her arms in times
of childish troubles; do not forget now
to sometimes hold her arms to your
heart and kiss her withered cheek.

Easter Services In the First rIethodist
Episcopal Sunday School.

The Easter observance on the part
of the Sunday school of the First Meth
odist Episcopal church was very pleas
ing and impressive
The programme as published in
the PRESS of last week was carried out
in full, the several numbers being rem
dered in creditable and happy manner.
The attendance reached 42S and incud-
ed goodly number of strangers. The
decoration of Easter lilies and ever
greens lent beauty to the chancel, which
was filled with members of the primary
and JuniorDepartment.
Each member of the school and each
visitor received an appropriate and
beautiful remembrance of the day.
The Superintendent Mr., T. B. Lloyd
with his assistants have been untiring
in their efforts and they have their re.
ward in the gratifying success achieved

plant last Friday afternoon, April 10,
from the stroke of paralysis received
two days before while engaged at his
work with the above named firm. Mr.

so years ago. For 80 years he has re-

A Thrilling Adventure.

A local Sunday school class compos-
ed Of the loveliest young ladies we
known of, recently planned "an even
ing" at one their homes. After discus
ing various schemes of entertainment,
concluded bottle of ''pop" would be
the means of having the grandest kind
of time.
They pooled their money and dep.
utized two of their members to pur-
chase it which they did, first reconnoi-
tering to see that no one was in the
store. They were so afraid of being seen,
that they would not permit the grocer
time to wrap it up. One of them seized
it and hid it beneath her jacket, and
they hurriedly joined their waiting
companions on the street. They had
not gone far before the cork became
loosened and the bottle began to sizzle.
The young lady dropped 1t and they
fled with shrieks of terror One of them
who had heard brother say, that pop
was harmless, went back after it, eau.
tiously walking sideways and ready to
fly at the slightest sign of danger. Find
ing all quiet she picked itup and brave
ly carried it to their rendezvous, where
she hid it beneath sofa pillow. A little
latter one of the girls forgetting all
about the pop sat down upon the pillow.
The bottle instantly protested with a
loud sizzle. Had there been no ceiling to
the room the young lady might have
jumped triffle higher and then began
wild scramble for the door, After vain
ly trying to persuade some one to go
back and investigate, they returned en-
masse, walking ON their tip toes and
holding their breath, carefully remov-
ing the pillow, they found the bottle
wearing an innocent "never done a
thing" expression and decided to dis.
pose oft at once before something else
happened, first locking the door. Two OF
the girls who had signed temperance
pledge were very much troubled over
the breaking of it, but finally throwing
their scrupples to the winds, recklessly
drank a spoonful each.
The girls say birch beer is 'just love-
ly," but too exciting and they will
cling to ice cream soda in the future
Each one THINKS it is some oue's place to
return the empty bottle, which at last
accounts was safely hidden beneath a
bureau. Will not some boy pallantly
volunteer to fish it out, and return it to
the grocery man, thereby rescuing the
girls from his terrible dilemma.

EMPORIUM, PA. URSDAY,
Editorial Correspondence.

HARRISBURG, IA, April 14th 1903.-
After long and hotly contested con
troversy the Legislature this afternoon
decided the Legislative contest between
Hon. Henry III. Mullin and Hon
Francis X. Blumle, the Elections Com
mittee presenting their report signed
by all seven of the Republican mem.
bers, in favor of seating the contestant
Mr.. Mullin. Upon vote being taken
119 voted in favor of the report and 4S
against it. Mr.. Mullin was sworn in
as Representative this (Tuesday) even.
ing by Judge Weiss. The same COM
mittee also reported in favor of seating
James G. Harvey, of Luzerne, and he
also took the oath.
The fight against the Cameron con.
testant was backed by wealthy COM
bination, being the most bitter ever
waged here. This powerful combina-
ton has voted for every measure and
''dodged" all others that seemed to
them it possibly could assist them in
defeating Mr.. Mullin. With all their
millions they could no longer stand up
and Mr.. Mullin and his friends carried
the House with them, in spite of the
influence (?) used to persuade nine Re.
publicans to go over to the Democratic
side.
The following from the Pittsburg
Commercial. Gazette is a fair statement
of the facts:
HARRISBURG, April 14.-Francis x.
Blumle of Cameron and B. J. Ferry OF
Luzerne, two Democratic members who
lodged the vote on the press mueller,
were to-day unseated. In Blumle's
case nine Republicans voted to prevent
his ousting. His seat is surrendered to
Harry HI. Mullin and Ferry's successor
is James G. Harvey. Both are stalwart
Republicans. They were sworn in to.
night.
The two Democrats were ousted after
q careful investigation had been made
of the cases by the elections committee
ofthe house of which J. Lee Plummer
of Blair is chairman. The democrats
tried to make as much capital out Of
the unseating as possible, but the evil
dc;!ve clearly shows that Mullin and
Ferry are entitled to their seats.
Chairman Plummer presented the
majority report unseating Blumle,
charging that 81 illegal votes were cast
for him, giving him an apparent ma
jority. Representative zimmerman OF
Montour defended Blumle, but his pre-.
sentation of the case did not break into
the Republican party wall. Mr.. Plum
mer answered Ammerman's oratory
with facts. xxx.

EaIss Alarm.

Last Sunday about noon the fire
alarm in the East Ward was sounded
and the Citizens, Hooks, and Hamilton
fire companies responded quickely,
when they found the cause of the
trouble was only the burning out of
chimney on the house owned by Peter
Furgerson on Sixth street extension
and their services were not needed as
few pals of water soon extinguished
the fire.

Kinky Hair Objectionable.

Negroes who have gore from Green
vile to take position as house SER
wants in the North have discovered
that the people Of thao section are not
disposed to .ook kindly upon the kin
ky hair of the colored foIks, and as
consequence the latter have adopted
the plan of wearing wigs. This infor-
nation has been transmitted to rela-
tivcs here Of those already working in
New York. One old coored woman
from this city, in writing to her
daughter who intends to locate in New
York told her not 20 fail to bring
wig along with her. "These people"
said she, "want their servants to have
straight black hair. They don't like
kinks"
1t seems that there have been more
or less deception practiced on South
ern negroes by members Of their race
who have gone to New York to work,
especially in the matter of wages.
According to stories told among the
servants in this city, it is no trouble
for house girl tc get $40 to $25 per
month, while good cook can demand
salary of $40 AS matter Of fact,
it develops that $12 or s14 is about all
that the best colorcd cooks re able to
secure in the metropolis, and they
cannot, even at these wages, get off
with the mere performance of the strict
duties of cooks or house servants, but
are required to put in their spare
/ time at general work.
In view Of these things, it would
not be surprising to see large return
movement of colored servants from
New York soon. In the meantime,
however, the house servant market in
Greenville is being 'bulled' by many
who claim to have big wages awaiting
them in otham.-Greenville News.
