The rIuSical.

The musical last Thursday evening
in the First Methodist Episcopal Church
was so good that those present, and
the audience was large one were
amply repaid for venturing thither
through the rain. Cameron county is
to be congratulated on her musicians.
This was certainly the best musical en-
tertaipment by home talent that it has
been the privilege of the writer to hear,
and one of the best by any talent that
has been given in Emporium. Miss
Anna Metzger will be chiefly remem-
bered in connection with this delight
tul evening by her mastery rendering
of HandePs Largo and the selection
from Lohengrin. The buoyancy,
strength and directness which are char
acteristic of her playing are admirably
suited to the rendering of these posi-
tive and optimistic compositions. The
capabilities of the splendid organ were
shown by Miss Metzger's playing.
Mr.. Ericsson is a talented and ac-
complished musician. His piano num-
bers contributed much to the pleasure
of the evening, as did also the vocal
numbers of Miss Frank Huntley and
Mr.. Geo. A. Walker, Jr. The program
was choice and the renderings good
throughout,

Birthday PARTY.

Master Neil Coppersmith royalty en-
tertained sixteen Of his little friends
last Tuesday afternoon and evening at
the pleasant and spacious home of his
parents and grandma, Mrs Stoddard,
on East Allegheny avenue, in honor of
his 18th birthday. The little guests
assembled promptly at the hour set,
3 o'clock p. M, and from that time un-
til p. M, the air was fairly blue with
juvenile hilarity and merriment, not
jar or hitch of the slightest nature
occurring to mar their happiness during
the day, a grand display of sunshine
without and within. Almost every
game nameable was furnished and in.
dulged in and the little folks showed
themselves equal to the occasion in
every particular, demonstrating to the
older folks that they thoroughly enjoy
ed the superb hospitality and genius of
their entertainer, even to the satisfying
of almost an inexhaustable appetite
for the over-abundant supply of Iuxur-
ious edibes. Neil is a captain at max
ing his friends enjoy themselves, and
aside from the personal expression of
gratitude by all on their departure, the
beaming countenances of the little ones
spoke louder than words-proving that
their enjoyment was full-and that
they had spent one of the grandest
days of their lives, never to be forgot
ten and with hopes of it being repeated
Master Neil was handsomely remem-
bered by his guests, which betokens
the loyal friendship existing between
them.

Editor Press
This is the season of outings,
trial trips and commissions for
Government employees, on scien-
tific errands, combined with pleas
ure. There are many things
which need investigating during
the summer in order that reports
may be forcoming for the next ses-
sion of the Congress. Work must
be inspected; reforms must be in
stituted; information must be col
lected; and many affairs need regu-
lating. One of the Civil Service
Commissioners, Mr.. Cooley, is
touring the West, making study
of the civil service as applied to
Indian schools and reservations.
BY direction of the President Mr..
Carroll D. Wright of the Bureau
of Labor is in Colorado, making a
study of the civil war in that state.
Mr.. Clifford Pinchott, the wealthy
voung man who runs the bureau
of forestry in the Department OF
Agriculture for the love he has for
forest trees, is in OREGON. where he
has been urging the transfer OF
supervision of forest reserves from
the Land office TO his own. He
saws President Rossevelt's idea is
that nublic lands sbouId he devoted
to the best possible use and the
object of his trip through the far
West is to ascertain what is the
best purpose to which lands may
be devoted. This, he admits, de-
pends upon the point Of view,
whether one is a lumberman, a
live stock man. q miner or u
farmer. Another man will soon
be sent west, perhaps into the
Black Hills, to discover, if lie can,
how to fix wireless telegraph in
struments to forest trees in such a
manner that if the tree catches fire
the wireless will make that fact
known. The ornithologist, the
enthomologist and the botanist.
are also searching out the waste

of science, and for the benefit of
