OLD RELIABLE
DRUG STORE.

At Old Reliable Drug Store will
be found, without exagfierating,
the largest, the finest, the best
selected, and the best priced stock
of wall paper ever offered to the
people of our town. 1t is impos-
sible for the man who buys room
or two OF wall paper at time and
pay, as he would have to-seyenty-
five cents to one dollar express
charges on each purchase, to sell
you your paper at a price that l or
any other regular dealer can and
will sell it to you for. Think this
over carefully and you will see the
reason of this proposition. Anxious
to show my stock. Come, come.
Save money, save money.

SUNDAY Fire.

Last Sunday afternoon Harry Shad
mans house, located near the foot of
Broad street, caught fire from stove
pipe passing through the roof. An
alarm was quickly given when the
Hamilton, Hooks and Mountaineer
companies responded. Most of the
household goods were saved. The
building, u little rough for the usage,
was spared.

The pleasant information that the
Central Methodist Episcopal Confer
ence, in session at Altoona, had, in def
erence to the wishes of Emporium, re-
gardless of creed, returned Rev. o. S.
Metzier for another year, was pleasant
news to our citizens. The relations ex-
isting between this talented and ener-
getic divine and our citizens, after three
years commingling, has attached him
very closely TO Emporium. The fact
that for months lively rivaly has ex-
listed between churches, located in
towns of many thousands of inhabi-
tants and paying large salaries, to in
duce DR.. Metzler to change his mind
and leave us, offering large increase
of salary as an iuducement, is very
gratifying to Emporium friends of the
gentleman and demonstrates the plain
fact that he is not alone in this world
for the dollars that may be in it, but
has deep interest in his church work
here, where he has become familiar
with our ways and daily elbow-touch
with all classes and creeds has made
made hosts of friends. Rev. Metzler
has made a sacrifice to serve En-
porium and we bespeak loyal support
for the gentleman during the coming
year.
The following petition and resolu-
tions, adopted by the official board of
First Methodist Episcopal Church of
Emporium, was mailed to the Confer
encd officials and copy to the Pastor:
RESOLUTIONS.
At the fourth quarterly conference of
the First Methodist Episcopal Church
of Emporium, the following preamble
and resolutions were unanimously
adopted by rising vote:
WHEREAS, the Rev. o. S. MetZler is
about completing the third year of a
very successful Pastorate with the First
Methodist Episcopal Church of En-
porium, and it is the desire of the
membership of the church, and of the
official board, that he be returned for
the ensuing year.
And whereas, we are reliably inform
ed that at least two churches in the
Conference have asked for his services,
both of which would be regarded as
promotions.
Therefore, be it resolved, by the
Fourth Quartely Conference Of said
| church,
That while we are not willing to
| stand in the way of a deserved promo
| ton, yet we most earnestly hope that
some satisfactory arrangement can be
made that will permit this church to
have the services of Brother Metzler
for at least another year
That, subject to the approval OF
| Brother Metzler, we request the other
churches that are asking for his SER
vices to forego their desire and permit
us to retain the services of a Pastor
which are most valuable and satisfac.
| tory to us.
That we request the presiding Bishop
and his Cabinet to so arrange the ap-
pointments, that if Brother Metzler
consent, he may be returned to EN-
porium to continue his very successful
Passionate with IS, which we believe
will be for the best Interests, not only
of this church, but of the church at
| large.
Immediately after the adoption OF
the foregoing Mr. Metzler expressed
to the conference his desire to remain
at Emporium for the coming confer
ence year.

Blasted Homes.

A Sunday school class Of boys,
noted for being mischievous and un.
ruly, found itself some time ago with.
out a teacher, the last one filling that
uncongenial role having peremptorily
resigned. 1t fell to the lot of the
wife Of a prominent merchant, a WON.
an very enthusiastic over matters per.
tanning to the church, to succeed to
the vacancy, and. while not without
some misgivings, she entered upon
her duties with the conviction that the
proper methods and a little persever.
ance could not fail to bring results.
For several weeks 1t was uphill work,
and her patience at times was sorely
tried. One Sunday. however, there
seemed to come change for the bet.
Ter. Her labors, she felt, were be.
ginning to bear fruit. The most
troublesome boy in the class, the one
who rarely showed the slightest inter.
est. was paying the closest attention
never taking his eyes from her. Bent
on following mp her advantage. she ad
dressed her remarks entirely to him
when in the midst Of q sentence tae
youth broke in:

PASSION AND THE HEALTH.
Some Emotions Tend 20 Prolong and
Others to Shorten Life,

The passions effect on the health
Is not sufficiently regarded" said a
physician. The passion which Is
best for the health is avarice. 1t keeps
one cool, encourages regular and in
dustrious, habits leads to abstemious-
ness and makes against all excess.
And hence. the avaricious, the
misers, live to a great age. The mis-
ers OF history were all noted for their
longevity. Rage is very bad for one.
This passion causes an irregular, in
termittent beating of the heart, and
the intermittency in time may be-
come chronic. Hatred creates fever.
IL we hate we grow leGN. This hot
passion eats us like a flame. fear
Is bad for the nerves, the heart and
the brain, and, therefore, we should
never permit ourselves to be afraid.
But the strangest effects of all have
been caused by the passion of grief.
The medical books record cases
where, coming suddenly. in a violent
shock, 1t has caused loss of blood
from the lungs in one person, paraly-
sis Of the tongue in another and a
failure Of sight or temporary blind
ness in a third"

DOWNFALL OF PUNCH
OLD.FASHIONED BEVERAGE NO
LONGER IN DEMAND.
Historic Drink Has Fallen Into Disre-
pute In These Modern Days-Though
PaIatabIe, II Was unhealthful In the
Extreme.

Few more remarkable changes have
taken place in comparatively recent
years than in the attitude of England
toward punch. says the London Globe.
That drink so pleasant to the palate
and SO edged about with traditions
should have practically ceased to exist
is indeed strange. During the whole
Of the eighteenth century and for a
considerable portion of the nineteenth
the cult Of the punch bowl was uni.
versal. 1t had even a kind Of political
prestige, as being the favorite bever-
age of the dominant Whig party, the
Tories at first regarding 1t with some
aversion as foreign interloper com.
ing in about the same time as an alien
usurper. Even they, however, soon
altered their opinion with regard to
the new beverage.
In these circumstances it may be
wondered how 1t came about that
punch lost its hold OF the English
people. Two reasons may be stated.
In the first place, in spite of the songs
that proclaimed it's virtues and ex.
tolled 1t as a panacea for all diseases,
punch was undoubtedly one of the
most unhealthful Of liquors. 1t was
good, but IL was not wholesome. Even
moderate use of the bowl would lead
to a headache, while the man who
exceeded passed the subsequent day
Tor days, according to the strength Of
his head) in torments.
OF punch bowls much might be writ
ten. Even when they were new ro-
nance chung to them. Every house
had its punch bowl, and in nearly
every case 1t was a present. When 4
young couple were married bowl was
always presented to them by near
relative. II is a curious proof of the
change that has taken place in the at
titude of society toward drinking
usages that in the old days a punch
bowl was considered a very suitable
present from a merchant or banker to
a trusty clerk or bookkeeper, or from
a shipowner to one of his shippers. 1t
Is hard to imagine the managers of a
modern bank presenting one of his
employees with tantalus spirit stand.
In the days when punch was the uni
veIsal beverage bowls used to be spe-
cially made for testimonial purposes
and painted with suitable inscriptions
or devices. The first successful whal-
ing voyage from Liverpool is COM
memorated by bowl of this descrip-
ton. On it ship in full sail is de-
picted.
