Joy and Scenes of Life.

AS | returned from Elmira, N. Y,
via the B. & s., did not notice if we
were riding in comfort of smoothe re-
volving wheels as we climed those
majestic hills which were once clothed
in thrice beautiful foliage, one of the
wonders of natures grandeurs. But
now as far as the eye could see in
clear sunny day of March is but vast
barren waste of desolation, the destruc-
ton of man, for the amount of dollars
he can carry in his pocket. | ask the
question, are the amount of dollars &C
cumulated by man all there is in life?
have but one answer and that is an
answer for many.
AS form new friends and have old
enemies, | know that the old, old
thus vanished all and / may never for
get and as | think of the joys and
scenes of life and count the bleating
moments of life with eternity, know
that soon I will camp beyond the river
not on grounds of fame, but where
hope the scenes of life will find eternal
rest on the sunny plains of peace, but
with the joy of brighter hopes l can
not for moment doubt when pleasant
memories steal back, but to look for
ward to the beaming sun of May as it
shinos on the little blade of grass.
Yours truly,
SMITH WHITMAN.

The Funerals.

The funerals of the victims of the
dynamite explosion oflast Wednesday,
were held last Saturday.
The body of James Thomas was the
only one that could be positively iden-
titled and was prepred and placed in
a casket by undertaken Egan and TAX
en- to the home of his mother on East
Allegany avenue. The floral offerings
by lodges, hose companies and other
friends were many and beautiful.
The other five men were blown to
atoms and nothing but fragments
could he found. A few small pieces
were picked up that were identified by
friends of two Italians and placed in
separate caskets and the remains of
James Thomas and the two Italians
taken to st. Marks Catholic church
Saturday morning, where a service
was conducted over all by the Rev.
Father Downey, after which three
separate funerals were held.
w. w. Eckles, father of Charles
Eckles came to Emporium on Friday,
expecting to take the remains of his
son to his home at Pennsboro, w. Va,
but as nothing of the Young mans
body could be identified the grief
stricken parent felt much his disap-
pointment. Those who knew the
young man, speak very highly of him

Tho Easter Hope.

Easter-day comm morates the Resur.
rection of Christ. 1t is not uncom-
mon mistake to view this sacred event
chiefly in the light of crowning proof
Of the truth that the soul of man does
not perish with the body. The mere
fact of resurrection has little power to
impress the intellect or to move the
heart. Our Lord Himself discounted
the practical effectiveness of such evi-
dence when He said, ''neither will they
be persuaded though one rose from the
dead" If nothing more were needed
than proof that the death of the
body does not mean the death of the
soul, the restoration to life of the
daughter of Jairus and of the son of
the widow of Main, and of Lazarus of
Bethany, would have served the pur-
pose Many are SO far convinced by
the claims of modern spiritualism as to
believe that the actual existence of de-
parted spirits has been fully establish
ed. Yet the fact that Lazarus was
raised from the dead awakened only a
local and passing interest; while spirit
ualism, even when the reality of it's al
legged phenomena is conceded, is utter
ly without power as moral and
spiritual force.
The distinctive merit of Christianity
lies not in it's proof of the truth that
the soul exists after the death of the
body, but ia its revelatian of the mean
ing and value of life. Iu the light of
this revelation, the question Of immor-
tality is lifted to an unspeakably high
er plane of interest. If the life of man
is not of infinite worth, if the soul of
man is uot possessed of divine possibil-
tiles, then the question of human i'm
mortality is of little more consequence
than is the question of the endless ex-
istence of an earth, worm. We must
distinguish sharply between the idea of
mere endless existence and the Christ
ian conception of eternal life. Quality
must be placed above quantity. Faith
in the Risen Christ means faith in a
certain quality of life, and not merely
belief that human life, regardless OF
quality, will be indefinitely prolonged.
In commemorating the Resurrection of
Christ the emphasis is not upon the
mere fact of rising from the dead, but
upon the quality and character of the
Divine Personality who triumphed
over death. The Resurrection of
Christ stands, not for the mere pro-
legation of existence, but for the up
lift and new birth of humanity. It's
meaning is not for science, but for
faith.

Old Recollections by Gassawav.

Once more walk the dusty streets
Ofthis good old classic town,
Once more my old time friends greet.
AS meander round,
Once more see the pretty girls.
Ofwhich this town is proud,
Once more l edge my burly form
Through the busy shopping crowd;
Things seem to be about the same,
Improvements have been made,
Now and then touch of paint,
New pavements have been laid,
The same old signs are hanging still,
That hung year ago,
And business is about the same,
Perhaps little slow;
Uncle Peter still is here,
Though battered some by time.
He can crack his little joke,
And make pleasing ryme,
The same cigars are in the case,
That were year ago,
He says the stock is just the same,
But the burning somewhat slow;
Says he will live one hundred years,
Of that he's almost sure,
Because he's been christian man
And lived life that's pure;
But ifthe Lord sees fit 20 call,
Him from this vale of tears,
Before he can complete his time,
A round one hundred years,
The undertaken will be beat,
When he away is laid,
For he has stockings for his feet
And his coffin has been made.
We went into the sanctum
Ofthe good old County PRESS,
Things looked little rocky,
There were signals of distress,
Papers piled up mountains high,
Dust was on the floor,
The same old pictures on the wall,
Hung there in days of yore,
The sanctum chair was vacant,
My Brother where was he,
Sporting with the Easter nymps,
On the board walk by the sea,
And may he live and prosper,
And sport there many day,
To the wish of all the faithful,
And his old friend GASSAWAY.

HARTMAN CASE
UP FOR HEARING

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.--After
several postponements, the govern
ment suit again E. H. Hartman
and Otto H. Kahn, of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., to force them to answer ques-
tions put to them by the interstate
commerce commission, was called for
hearing today before Judge Hough
in the federal district court.
The questions on which the con-
test is made involve mainly the pur-
chase of Illinois Central stock by the
Union Pacific through Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. Kahn, representing the we'll
known firm of bankers and brokers,
will be asked to answer this ques-
ton: Were any or all of the Union
| Pacific directors interested in the
block of stock sold by your company
to the Union Pacific in August,
| 1902" The government seeks to
show that the directors in effect sold
the stock to themselves, acting for
the railroad.
Hartman is to be asked concern
ing his connection with the sensa-
tional establishment of Union Pacific
stock on 10 per cent basis in Au-
gust, 1906, following the announce
ment of which the stock went up
about 20 points. 1t is alleged that
the announcement was held back
two days to give those on the elm
side a chance to buy,
Kahn will be asked to tell wheth-
er the Illinois Central stock sold b,
his company to the Union Pacific
was not acquired by a pool made for
that purpose Hartman will also be
asked what he paid for stock in the
ST. Joe and Grand Island, which he
himself sold to the Union Pacific
This he positively refused to tell last
winter and 1t is supposed he made
some little profit by the deal.
The present action is in the form
of distinct suit against the two
men on the ground that under the
law, the interstate commerce com
mission has full power to inquire
into these matters and that they arr
compelled to answer all relevan
questions.

WELCOMES
KAISER WILHELM

LONDON, Nov. 13.-Emperor Will
liam of Germany, accompanied by the
Prince of Wales, came from Windsor
to London today, and it is safe to say
to say that no official head of
friendly power was ever accorded
more cordial and spontaneous greet
ing. Both in the matter of decora-
lions and the welcome from the
crowd which lined the route taken
from the railway station to the Man
sion house, where the official welcome
took place, the British metropolis did
things handsomely. All points of
vantage along the route were occu-
pied to their. capacity, and while the
cheers which greeted the kaiser as
! he drove by with the Prince of
Wales in the state landau with two
positions never reached the height
of delirious enthusiasm, thew were in
volume and continuity more than suf-
| ficient to impress upon the imperial
visitor that he was In city which
wished him well.
The feature of the day was the
luncheon given at the Mansion house
by the lord mayor and the corpora
tion of the city of London. It is esti-
mated that the luncheon and the
decorations cost the corporation not
less than $4,000. A large pavilion
was erected in Guildhall yard. flank
ed by galleries for the accommoda-
ton of privileged spectators. The
address of welcome presented to his
imperial majesty by Lord Mayor Bel
was contained in costly gold box
The kaiser wore the splendid uni
form of the White Cuirassiers, with
a gold helmet surmounted by a silver
eagle.

Roosevelt's ambition is the key
note Of a lot of rot about the third
term. 1t is possible that Roosevelt
could be forced by the voice of the
people and the necessity of perpetu-
ating his policy into accepting an
other term; but how anyone can see
ambition in such an idea is beyond
our ken. What further glory is
there for him? Two terms as presi-
dent is about the limit of elevation
in the United States. Another term
would be but four years more of the
responsibilities and drudgery of Of
flee. No doubt, Mr.. Roosevelt will
gladly retire, when ne has seen a
successor installed. who will con-
tinue the good work.
