Quiet Wedding.

Wednesday evening was the scene
of themarriage ofa very popular young
couple of Emporium. The contracting
parties are Mr.. Bert Hillyard and Miss
Matte Law, both highly esteemed by
our people. The bride was always
Law abiding, and as the groom has
been continually going to Law con-
corning some love affair we are not
surprised that it has ended in lifelong
suit. The small assemblage found a
true bill against the party and Father
Downey imposed the sentence, at 500
O'Clock, without the rotine work of a
jury. The special term of court was
held at Law headquarters, on east Al
legheny avenue. We congratulate
our young friends and wish them God
speed through life.

1.-The Veil of Solana."

The people of Emporium and Cam
eron county feel a just pride in the
fact that one of our townswomen is a
novelist of no mean merit. The latest
product of the gifted pen of Mrs.
Emma Mersereau Newton is novel
under the title, "The Veil of Solana."
The book which is based upon Mrs.
Newton's personal observations and
researches in California, abounds in
descriptive passages ofgreat vividness
and beauty. No one who has read the
account of the ascent of Mt. Shasta
will quickly lose the impression which
that vivid description excites.
The story itself though slight in plot
holds the interest of the reader stead

ployment on local newspaper, and,
while working at her profession, con-
tinues her search for the treasure.
She has numerous experiences and ad-
ventures, some of them amusing and
some very thrilling. In the end she
finds her treasure, but after all gives it
up to its rightful owners. She marries
her lover, who turns out to have been
her publisher in disguise, and one of
the heirs to the lost treasure.
This synopsis of the plot gives but
the most inadequate impression of the
wealth of incident and description
which the book contains. One must
read the book itself to have any per-
ception of its highly distinct and ori-
ginal flavor. There are a few miner
blemishes of style and arrangement,
but the grateful reader will not allow
the perception of these to blind him to
the charm and beauties of this delight.

1.-THE PIimoth Plantation" ="

Mr.. j. +. Parsons called the attention
of the writer the other day to an inter-
esting collection of publications which
he possesses bearing upon the colonial
period of our history. Among these is
a large handsome volume of 500 pages,
published by the State of Massachu-
sets, containing iteratim print of
Governor Bradfords account of the
founding of the Plymouth Colony.
The manuscript volume from which
this print is taken disappeared from
America before or at the outbreak of
the Revolutionary War. In 1855 the
discovery was made that this long lost
volume of priceless value was reposing
in the Library at Fulham, the palace
of the Bishop of London. The diocesan
authorities refused to surrender the
book itself, but allowed a copy to be
made of it. Through this copy the
Bradford History has been accessible
to Americas scholarship since 1856.
Subsequent efforts to secure the return
of the autograph volume to Massachu-
setts eliminated successfully in 1897.
Archbishop Temple and Bishop Creigh-
ton were more complacent in the mat.
ter than their predecessors had been,
and so Consistorial Decree was issued
authorizing the surrender of the vol
ume to the State of Massachusetts.
On the American side the credit for
securing its return TO America is due
chiefly to Senator Hoar and the late
Ambassador Bayard. II has never
been discovered how it came to be i'm

Keep the Sidewalks Tidy.

1t would be good thing if some one
were to organize all the boys in town
town into society pledged to prevent
the scattering of refuse paper, banana
skins, and peanut shells on the side
walks and in other public places. The
greatest difficulty that householder
has in keeping his front lawn in order
is from the carelessness of people who
throw refuse upon it as they pass by.
Such offenses are punished by arrest in
the large cities. 1t is no uncommon
sight to see boys loafing on the steps of
a church and littering the space about
them with peanut shells. Let the pub
lie schools, the Sunday Schools and
homes all cooperate in fostering hab-
it's of public tidiness and cleanliness in
the boys of our town. Those who do
not regard themselves as amenable to
any of these institutions could be safely
left to receive instruction from Officer
Mundy.

School Room Needed.

1t may be learned from council pro-
ceedings in this issue of the PRESS that
our borough fathers have granted the
use of the city hall for kindergarten
purposes. The list of pupils in our
schools aggregate about 800, number
already too large for the capacity Of
our present school buildings. 1t is a
matter now being discussed that an
other building be erected, and as we
are always in sympathy with move
ments of this kind where the betterment
of conditions of the pubic is intended,
we heartily endorse this proposal. 1t
has been remarked that owing to the
construction of the present buildings
it will not be possible to build additions
thereto. If such is the case-and we
believe it is-no one should in the least
regret it for the reason that better in
tellectual results are obtained where
schools are apart from one another to
say nothing of the protection against
the spreading of the numerous epidem-
les usually rampant during the school
year, phase we'll worth consideration,
as we are all aware that too large num-
bers destroy the sanitary conditions

keystone Park.

The work in connection with this
new resort is going steadily forward.
The approach from the new road was
opened some time ago, and II as at
tractive a spot of driveway as we
have in the county. The ground for
the new ball field has been leveled of,
and the underbrush has been cleared
from the hill side.
The center of interest in the
park, however, is the new pavilion,
situated on the slope juS few
yards below the entrance of Key
stone Hollow. 1t is in every way sub
stantial and permanent in oenstruc-
ton. The center of ths pavilion is a
platform seventy by forty feet, enclos-
ed on three sides by wainscotted
balustrade thirty inches high, which
serves as a backing for seats built ont of
heavy material. Surrounding this
main platform is a veranda ten feet
in width, guarded on the outer side by
a rail. At the west end ofthe pavilion
the veranda space is enclosed and
divided into three apartments which
will serve for kitchen, a cloak room,
and ladies dressing and waiting room.
On the north side of the platform is a
raised stand for speakers or srch-
estra, extending back into the
veranda. The steps leading mp
to the veranda from the approach
below are directly behind this stand.
The slope on the upper side Of the
pavilion affords a convenient standing
space in case there will ever be an as
semblage too large TO be accommodated
in the pavilion itself The floors are
all of hardwood, and the entire struc-
ture is covered by a corrugated iron
roof. The sides from the floor to the
ground are also enclosed with iron, as
protection against fires.
This park and pavilion, which, in
part at least, are of and by the public,
are for the public, and it is hoped that
the public, including all boys, will take
pride in protecting and preserving
these Improvements, and in seeing
that nothing is ever INDUCED IN in this
resort that will in anyway fnjure its
name.

Emporium a Prosperous Tsws.

A walk around Emporium will con-
vince anyone of the extensive improve
ments being made to old properties
and the large number of new houses in
course of erection. Paint is being
freely used as beautifier, lawns are
better kept than formerly and stone side
walks are taking the place Of wooden
ones. Nor is this confined to one sec
ton but extends alike to all parts of
our thriving municipality. Each seems
to vie with his neighbor as to who shall
make the better showing, ard each
seems to have a genuine pleasure in
the fruits of his neighbours industry
and sacrifice. Extremes of wealth and
poverty are less marked here than in
most places, while the fostering of a caste
spirit meets with little favor. There
is much in Emporium to invite the
profitable investment of capital and en-
courage the establishment OF new in

The Organ Recital.

The recital, last Friday evening,
which marked the installation of the
new pipe organ in the First Methodist
Episcopal Church wasan event of great
and general interest in the community.
The organist was Mr.. Reginald Ley
McAll, of the Presbyterian Church of
the Covenant, New York city. The
program was composed of choice Sc
lection of numbers by such composers
as Bach, Handel, Wagner, etc. Mr..
McAll did his part in a very pleasing
way, though he failed to show the re-
sources of the splendid instrument in
"The Pilgrims Chorus" and "War
March of the Priests"
The violin numbers by Miss Grace
Walker, especially the "Vision de
Jeanne d. Arc" (Gounod), fully sus-
tanned her well.deserved reputation as
an artist of high merit.
Mr.. George A. Walker, Jr., barytone,
rendered with expression Dudley

1t is in music of this class that the rich
qualities of Mr.. Walker voice appear
to their best advantage.
Our Methodist friends are to be con.
graduated on having in their church
so fine an organ. The tone is full and
soft, and il has capabilities of power.

Danish Ignorance,

The most disagreeable thing that
moral man has to encounter in this
beautiful world, is blatant and conceit-
ed ignorance. Ignorance makes a
man discourteous, opinionated and
egotistical. 1t is ignorance that rend-
ers men narrow and bigoted, unap-
preciated and boorish. If children of
school age, with the advantage of good
schools, could realize for moment the
enormous benefits to them of an edu
cation, they would not lose a moment
from their studies. Besides rendering
you more agreeable to your fellowmen,
an education makes you a thousand
times more agreeable to yourself. The
world seems brighter and better, and
your capabilities and your capacity are
enormously increased. The possibili-
ties in the United States for an educat-
ed energetic and agreeable youth, are
boundless. Go to work, boys and girls,
and cultivate your brains. Intellect is
the only superiority.

POpe Plus X.

In The Outlook for August 1st ap-
peared an article by Maud Howe,
daughter of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe,
entitled, "Who VIII Be the Next
Pope%' 1t contains the following
sketch of Cardinal Sarto, who has since
been chosen Supreme Pontiff of the
Roman Catholic Church:
"Sarto was born in Treviso on the
I'd of June, 1885. He studied at the
College of Castelfrarco and at the
Seminary of Padua. His first cure
was in the parish of Tombolo, from
which in 1867 he was transferred to
to Salzano. The Bishop of Treviso
noticing his talent appointed him cam
on of the cathedral of Treviso. He
next became Bishop of Mantua. IN
1898 he was elected Patriarch ofVenice.
He is one of the most popular of the
Cardinals, and is much beloved by the
Venetians. He is a prudent, correct,
well balanced man. While never di-
rectly opposing the policy of Leo Kill,
he is noted for his abstinence from all
aggressive action, and his influence is
always eXerted to keep the peace be-
tween opposing factions. When King
Umberto went to Venice to meet the
Emperor Of Germany, Cardinal Sarto
announced his intention of making a
state visit to the King. A hint was
sent to him from the Vatican that his
course might not be wise one, and
that he had best be absent from Venice
at the time of the Kings visit. The
decision was left, however, with Sarto,
who carried out his original plan, made
his state visit to the King, and, it is
said, mentioned the fact that the Vati-
can had advised against it. Personally,
he is perhaps the most sympathetic of
papdbile cardinals. He is a handsome
man, carrying his sixty-eight years
lightly. Strong, modest, disliking the
intrigues and the ceremonies of the
papal court, he rarely comes to Rome,
and is content to remain in his beloved
Venice, the friend of the people and
of the clerics alike. For Italy his cleo
tion would be fortunate; he has many
well wishers in the Roman world,
where, his friends hold, he is too little
SEEN"

The Educated Woman of the Future

The educated woman of the future
will be profoundly religious. She will
instinctively find her place in the uni
verse and will establish, use, and rejoice
in her relation to God as truly as to her
fellows. She will not become the vic
tim of the "fads" and caprices that
masquerade under the name of religion.
The noisy revival, the silent seance,
the crowded Office of the paid Christian
healer" the ecclesiasticism that devotes
itself to a sort of cult of millinery, will
know this woman no more. Quacker-
les have too long found their willing
victims among women. But to love
God and to worship Him, to study and
to follow the Lord Jesus Christ, and to
find the hearts home in the blessed
Church which He founded on earth,
will surely be the noblest effluence of
the character of the modern woman
