one OF the reasons why Harvard s 50

students are accustomed to travelling in the old
country. Every year sees many Harvard pro
Iessors taking advantage of their 'sabbaticar

PROFESSOR Barrett Wendell is doing this at the
present time, and If he 'Englishy' before he
Ie1t cambridge Harvard students are expecting
him to be still more on his return.
Concerning Professor Wendell, It was said be-

his clothes,

His dislike Of anything not English was also so
marked that he is said even to have disapproved
Of ping pong, because he could put no English

is that Professor Wendell and many another Of
the Crimson faculty SAVIOR strongly of other

not copied from the English universities is the
custom Of drinking beer at the eating tables,

beer is entirely disapproved in Cambridge town.
story is told in this connection which illus
trates the marked difference between the Eng
lish and American customs, and shows, incl
dentaIIy, that oldtime journalists at Harvard
were not wanting as far as Imagination was
concerned.
"A certain young nobleman-a graduate OF
Oxford University-was visiting Cambridge, and
4 college newspaper correspondent, desperately
interview with him. During the course Of the
day the nobleman had visited Memorial Hail.
and from the balcony had watched the thou
sand OF more students eating in the big eating
room below him. 1t occurred to the correspond
ent that the uObleman might be surprised that
beer was lacking on the tables. SO he wrote
long, exciting interview, beginning with What!
No beerT which he said had broken from the
royal visitors lips when he first saw the un-
usual sight of dry tables in the hall below hln-
The newspaper of course, made the most OF
the story and it was the subject Of editorial

l:iremen's Convention.

The meeting of the Northwestern
Firemen at Dubois last week was
largely attended by our firemen and a
goodly delegation from st. Marys, ac-
companied by the st. Mary's band, but
according to reports it was rather a
tame affair, being but two bands in the
parade. 1t was generally supposed
that the great Barnum and Bailey cir
Gus would prove a big drawing card,
exhibiting there the last day. The
show met with some delay and arrived
in time to give one exhibition only.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year are as follows: Thos. A. Steele,
of Kane, president; G. w. Baner, of
Warren, first vice president, Frank S.
Leonard, of Remove, second vice presi-
dent, Fred Seger, of Emporium, secre-
tary; Moses Cohn, of Bradford, treas
urer.
Balloting for the place for holding
the convention in 1904 resulted in
Warren securing 80 votes and North
East &c.
The newly elected officers were then
escorted to their places by a commit
tee and each made a short, but pleasing
address, as did retiring President Me-
Farlin.

Flaps of Tioga County Oil Fields.

The United States Geological Survey
has just published folio of maps
known as the Elkland-T -Tioga folio,
which covers a large portion of Tioga
county. Two rectangular areas, each
including about 225 square miles, and
known as the Elkland and the Tioga
quadrangles, are represented on the
maps, which are eight in number, and
include two topographic sheets, show
ing the locations of the towns, railways,
highways, streams, elevations, etc.; two
areal geology maps, showing the area
of outcrop of the solid rocks; two surf
cial geology maps, showing the distri-
button of the sands, gravels and other
unconsolidated materials and two maps
giving sections showing the geologic
structure. In addition to the maps,
there are detailed descriptions of the
geology, written by M. L. Fuller and
w. G. Alden, and number of small
maps and Photographic illustrations.
The region covered includes the
towns of Welsboro Mansfield, Tioga,
Knoxville, Elkland, Lawrenceville and
Others, but its chief interest arises from
its proximity to the oil field at Gaines,
just southwest of the Elkland quad.
rangle, a considerable number of
wells have been drilled in the area
shown on these maps, and, though oil
in paying quantities has not yet been
discovered, small shows of oil and con-
siderable pockets of gas have been en-
countered, and it is not impossible that
pools of oil of limited size exist
Attention is given to this point in the
text of the folio, and, with a view to
their use by drillers, small maps are
given showing the location of the anti
clinal and cynclinal axes in Potter, I'll
oga, Bradford and adjacent counties,
and the details of the underground
structure are shown by means of con-
tour lines for portion of the area.

Miss Metzger Home.

Miss Anna Metzger reached Empori-
um last Monday, from ten weeks ab-
sence in Europe, during which time
she visited England, France, Hol-
land and Belgium, studying in Paris
under Madame Marchesi, the most
famous teacher of voice culture in
Europe. She was greatly pleased
with her trip of which she talks
entertaingly, but is more thorough
ly American than ever, claim
ing that nothing increases ones Am
ericanism SO effectually as a trip
abroad.
Paris she praises for it's architectural
beauty, its finely shaded avenues, en-
tirely free from distractions made by
telegraph and telephone poles and
wires.
London is rich in historic traditions
and "reminiscences, famous for it's state
ly cathedrals, many of which she visit
ed. The Cathedral Music however
proved disappointing, not comparing
i'll artistic richness with that to be
heard in New York and Boston lead
ing churches. Miss Metzger will re-
main at home three weeks before re-
suming her work in Randolph Macon
College, Lynchburg, Va.

Piano Fund Benefit.

On Friday evening, September 4, in
the Court House, will occur an Elocu-
tionary and Musical Entertainment, in
aid of the Court House Piano Fund,
that gives promise of much pleasure.
The talent procured includes Miss
Frank Huntley, Soprano; Miss Nellie
Huntley, Pianist, and Mrs. Augusta
Gilmore, Reader. The Misses Huntley
are favorites with Emporium lovers of
music, and this will be their first ap-
pearance here since their term of study
in Chicago. Miss Gilmore is the teacher
of elocution in the Williamsport Dick
inson Seminary and by those who have
heard her is said to be a reader of the
highest artistic excellence.
She has been studying the past sum-
mer in Buffalo, and at the New York
Chautauqua, and her coming to us
awakens the highest anticipation of
pleasure which will be more than met.
The cause to be benefited is the worth
lest. The piano now placed in the
Court House by Miss Collins will be
the property of the public when paid
for and in her efforts to raise the mon
ey needed she should have the encour-
agement of all. Let the Court House
be filed Friday night, Sept. 4th.

st. Mary's Gas Company News.

We have been informed that the st.
Marys Gas Company has recently pur-
chased over five thousand acres addi-
tional gas lands. The wells Just drilled
are among the best that the company
have had at any time during its exis-
tence. The wells now in the line and
those being drilled will furnish volume
and pressure that will meet all require
ments and any demands that the COM
pany and its patrons may ask. This
new territory is valuable acquisition
and will extend by many years the life
OF the gas company. Aside from this
recent purchase the company has a
large acreage that has not been drill.
ed, of as rich gas land as there is in the
state.

EXPERTS SAY CUE Is sAFE.
We Have Fine Announcement Cards.

1t seems to be the fashion now days
for young people to enter into life part
nership and content themselves by
telling a few friends about it and let
the public guess at the real truth of the
matter. 1t is rumored that at least two
cases of this kind exist in Emporium,
and the supposed brides do not hesitate
to tell it on the quiet. We presume it
being their first experience makes them
a mite timid. 1t is none of our busi-
ness, of course, but it is news we are
after and if our young friends are not

gossipy crowd-kind % make their
tongues itch.
