His fiddle Name,

Ex-senator Henry G. Davis, within
the hour of his nomination for the Vice
Presidency, was sought out by cor
respondent for a newspaper that has a
penchant for middle names. Accord
ing to instructions wired from his office
the reporter asked:
Senator, what does the 'G' in your
name stand for?"
"Gassaway," was the reply.
''But really must find out" said the
reporter, smiling family.
"Gassaway," repeated the candidate.
SIS that West Virginia for chase
yourself?" inquired the young man.
"No," chuckled the ex-senator. ''Its
my middle name-an old family
name"

hadn't heard before" New York

Some rIedicine For lis.

Mr.. Whitman Osgood, of Washing
ton who has just returned from a
journey to st. Louis by automobile, has
this to say about the roads:
"The condition of the roads was
varied. They were good in Maryland,
but all through Pennsylvania we
struck nothing but abominable
stretches of ground not worthy of the
name of roads. The r5ads in West
Virginia were in fair condition, and
there was an improvement in Ohio.
The roads, in Indiana were good, but
those of Illinois were inconceivably
bad. [ found the condition of the
roads pretty fair index to the pros
perity and intelligence of the people
living along them.

Less School Money.

The majority of the school districts
in Pennsylvania will receive less
money for support of their comm on
school for the year beginning June 8
than they received in 1903. This is be-
cause the amount appropriated by the
last Legislature to these schools is not
quite as large as the appropriation
made by the previous legislature
The department of public instruction
has completed the calculation for the
next year, and will begin the issuidg
of warrants on the district as soon az
State Treasurer Mathues is ready to
pay them. Mr.. Mathues will probab-
ly follow the custom of withholding
payments from the district during the
summer vacation in order that the
favorite banks may have the use of tbs
money during the period.
The regular annual appropriation
made by the last legislature is $500.
From the amount the legislature de-
Quoted S237 500 for the State Normal
school and $4,000 for the township
high school leaving balance of S.
212,500 for the common schools.
The amount received by the several
districts next year will vary somewhat
from those received for the year about
closing, owing to the fact that appro-
priations for next year is based on new
1ks... I
and children between six and sixteen
years of age.
Following is list of the amount to
which the counties in this part of the
state are entitled for the school year
beginning June 6:

day night the scene of a pleasant re-
ception given in honor of their guests

Bessie Smith, of Philadelphia, Miss
Bertha Taylor, of Cresson, and Mr..
Lew Haskill of Coudersport. Miss Iva
Leet, who came home from Buffalo to
attend the function, was one of the re-
ceiving party which consisted of nine
persons. About fifty people were pres.

choice refreshments and enjoy the ex-

The Good Fellow.

Whenever you find a man who is
slapped on the back wherever he goes
and called good fellow, go to his
home and find out whether his children
have got good shoes on their feet, and
whether his wife is wondering how she
is to pay the bills. When there is
rattle of some kind, and tickets have
got to be sold for the benefit of some
other good fellow, who has spent what
didn't belong to him, it is the good
fellow of the moment who comes along
and buys the tickets with the money
that he owes for honest debts. Many
man trying to be good fellow, has
disgraced himself, made his family
miserable and missed chance to be a
self respecting man."

: Severe Storm.

A terrific thunder storm, accompa,
MED by fierce wind and a downpour
ofrain and hail, struck this place yes
terday afternoon. While no particular
damage was done our streets were
kept full of flying rubbish for short
time. The light of the sun was almost
completely shut out. The immense
amount of rain quenched several large
bonfires which were in progress dan
gerously close to some barns and sheds.
and which the strong wind stirred to a
raging condition, thus saving property.

Preserve The Trees,

The dying of three of the tall, beau
tiful trees, fronting the new Presbyte-
rian Church property supposed to have
been caused by a leak in the gas line
nearby, has necessitated their removal.
This is much regretted by all as they
were matter of municipal pride. The
large number of beautiful shade trees
in Emporium, is one of its chief attrac-
tions, justly exciting the admiration OF
visitors. Let our property owners use
every effort to preserve the trees.

Great Loss of Life.

'"rhey called that Eastern battle a
big one the other day." said the G. A.
r., man "because several thousand
men were killed and wounded, but
that was only shirmish compared to
the big fights in my day. Times
change.
why, at Gettysburg we lost 0,00n
men and the Johnnies 10000. In two
days Of the Wilderness there were in
all $4,000 killed, and at Bull Run our
loss was $4,000.
The losses in the France Prussian
and the Crimean wars were especially
heavy, and at Omdurman, in 1895. the
British killed 1000 Dervishes, and
then they say, went out next morning
and finished up $500 of the wounded.
julius Caesars battles netted /, 1000, 900
men killed, and some of the other
famous Roman generals never con-
sidered fight seriously unless at least
10000 of the enemy were put out of
the business HannibaPs troops killed
10000 at Cannae, and that wasn't such
a big affair either.
"The truth is that the invention of
machine guns and the introduction of
the open order have made the old
sort Of war impossible. In the old
days, when men met face to face, they
fought till there wasn't any one left to
fight. But that's all over.n

Saturday after spending six weeks in
attendance at the Summer school of
Theology, of Harvard University,

in the Emmerson school of Oratory,
and though necessarily a very busy
man reports a pleasant time amid
these classic surroundings and takes up
the burden of his work with freshened
enthusiasm.

Base Ball.

The game of base ball between EN-

place, Monday, resulted in a victory
for Driftwood, by score of to 8. 1t
was an exciting game and one of ab-

There is game booked for this place
to be pulled of Saturday next between
Johnsonburg and the home team. This
promises to be most interesting game
as the teams are evenly matched and
both have blood in the eye to win. 1t
is hoped that there will be good at

The Man Who's i'm Debt.

The man who can easily pay his
debts and who refuses to do SO, is dis
honest. He may pose as an upright,
honorable man, but he is swindler
nevertheless
If he runs up large bills intendir q,
beforehand, to let the accounts stand
indefinitely, he is perpetrating a fraud
on the man who furnishes him with
articles or services secured in that
way.
He realizes that grocers, meat deal
ers, clothiers, physicians and others
who provide for the needs of family
are required to pay their bills and
meet their obligations, but the dead
beat does not concern himself about
their interests.
His scheme is to impose upon them
and to get something for nothing at
their expense.
A man who is temporarily without
means of support may for time run
behind in his accounts. He pays when
he is able to do SO. His case is not to
be classed with that of the chronic
dead-beat to whom reference is made
in these remarks.
The larger type has no more hon.
esty in him than a burglar. And he
lacks the burglars courage. He takes
no chances.
But he takes such other things as he
can grab b-Bradford Era.

Firernen,s Convention.

The following paragraph we clip
from the Warren Mirror: "The Fire
mems Convention proved somewhat
of disappointment to the business
men at Warren for the reason that
they figured on crowd for at least
three days. A small percentage came
on Wednesday and about the same
number remained Friday, and Thurs
day was the only big day of the week. !"

Musical August z5tEl.

In the musical to be given in the
First Methodist Episcopal Church
Thursday evening, August 25th, the
pipe organ numbers will be rendered
by Miss Anna Metzger. At present
Miss Metzger is at the head of the
department of voice culture at
the Randolphe-Mascon College for
young women at Lynchburg, Va. and
needless to say is in the first rank of
the members of her profession. The
Emporium admirers of her abilities
both as vocalist and instrumentalist
are numerous and the opportunity to
hear her upon this occasion will
doubtless be taken advantage of by
many. The assisting talent will con-
sist of Miss Frank Huntley, Soprano;
Mr.. Geo. A. Walker, Jr., Barytone;
and Mr. A. d. Ericsson, Pianist.
The above list gives further guarantee
of the excellence of the program and
insures an evening replete with en-
joyment.

The Fl0pper.

There has been a good deal said,
thus early in the campaign, as re-
CARDS the chopper" by the Park
critics. In the first place, what is
a "hopper?" the man who stands
by principle, or the other fellow?
1t is strange, in our way of think
ing, that any sane man could i'm
agine man as being a chopper"
who stands by his convictions and
principles although his party hops.
In the case of Mr.. Seibert, of Pot
ter county, we fail to see him in
the light of a chopper" He is
simply holding up the same princi-
pie and argument he held to eight
years ago. Mr.. Bryan is doing the
same thing, and Mr.. Bryan is not
classed as a chopper. - The writer
carries the same views he did eight
years ago, and he does notconsider
or feel himself chopper. We
are not courting political contro-
versy, but as our convictions were
we'll known in the last two presi-
Dental campaigns, and having a
right to stand firm if we SO desire,
we deem it our privilege to defend
those views, and state that it is a
breach of friendship and an error
in judgment for one man to brand
his fellow as a chopper" because
he did not see fit to join hands,
conscientiously or otherwise, with
the fleeing crowd.
We believe that Parker & Davis
are the candidates of the monied
monopolies, and are not to be
"trusted outside of the trust. "
OF course, all voters who are in
sympathy with the monopolization
of things will stick to or flop over
to Parker & Davis. The Demo-
crat or Republican who believes in
legislation against the Trust has
only one way to express his judg-
ment, and the Democrat, out of
two evils, will select the least, by
voting for the candidate who has
in his platform one plank, and that
q strong one, on which to stand.
The Democrat who voted for Mr..
Bryan surely cannot, consistently,
vote for Parker, unless his con-
science is like rain water-kind 20
soaks in or returns to sea and is
transformed, transfigured or dis
tigured-gets the principle washed
out Of it. Then, some consciences
are like merchandise and the me-
dium of exchange becomes more
desirable than the merchandise.
The man who fiops with party is
as much Chopper as the man
who tlops alone. If you go to the
devil with a crowd you must have
asbestos wings just the same as
though you went alone, only you
may get EN- cheaper in job lots
and have the advantage of the
company that misery likes so well.
We are thankful for the hope and
belief that the choppers" are not
so numerous as some may think
and that the laboring man is not
going to be 'fooled all the time. "

When Visiting the Worlds Fair Ride
on the Ferris Wheel.

The great Expeditions held during
the last fifteen years have produced
two marvellous examples of engineer
ing and constructive ability. One of
these, the Eiffel Tower, was designed
and built by Frenchman at Paris for
the Exposition of1S89; the other, the
Ferris Wheel, was designed and built
by the late Geo. W. c. Ferris for the
Worlds Columbian Exposition at Chi
cago, in 1898.
Paris again held great exposition
in 1900 but failed to produce, any fea-
ture to take the place of the Eiffel
Tower. In America, st. Luir, in 1904,
planned and produced the greatest Ex-
position tho World has ever seen.
Scores of attempts were made to in
vent something more wonderful and
more attractive than the Ferris Wheel,
but as Paris failed to out do her own
Eif1el Tower, so did st Louis fail to
equal the farfamed Ferris Wheel of
the Worlds Columbian Exposition of
1893. Arrangements were accordingly
made to bring the Ferris Wheel to the
louisiana Purchase Exposition, and it
was given a location near the geo.
graphical center of the grounds.
The problem of moving the Ferris
Wheel from Chicago to ST. Louis was
stupendous-4, 200 tons of material, in
Guiding the 20 ton axle, besides en-
gines, boilers and derricks and false
work, had to be transported. One
hundred and seventy-five freight cars
were required to move this material.
