An Arkansas Verdict.

Princeton MOI Post: A coroner
jury in Arkansas returned the following
verdict: The jury finds that Bill Jones
is dead. and that he bowed his own
head off and thereby killed himself dead,
but we don't know if he has made his
peace with God before he killed himself
with shotgun and malice aforethought
against the peace and dignity of the
state of Arkansas, and, therefore we
give the widow the right to marry
another mar who won't leave her the
way Bill done. All of which is submit

Bill got what was coming to him.

PlNEAPPLES.
A Time When They Sold For $40 Each
In San Francisco


In San Francisco.
In 1851 pineapples were rare In San
Francisco. One day In that year one
of the passengers who had crossed the
isthmus of Darien before leaving Pan
anna purchased from one Of the ma
tives of that place dozen pineapples
for q quarter of dollar, and when he
landed lii San Francisco he had six
left. He was carrying these from the
landing place at the foot OF Vallejo
street, where there were boat steps at
the end of twenty foot wharf, which
new arrivals approached by Whitehall
boats from the steamers that In those
days anchored In the stream 800 yards
from shore The man was acc0st4d
suddenly by a stranger who asked
him what he wanted "for that lot Of
plneapples."
"They are not for sale"
'But I want them" said the Cali
fornian.
"I'l sell you three" said the new ar
rival, who or the voyage had heard
that San FRANCISCO people were liberal
buyers, and he added, but they'll cost
you s. EACH
Take EN-" was the curt reply, and
the fruit changed owners, the resident
passing over Spanish coin known
then as gold ounce" worth $40 In
trade
Before the new purchaser had NOV
ed across Battery street where the
transaction had taken place, he was
accosteG by an acquaintance who ask
ed him to let him have the fruit A
dicker followed for two of them, the
acquaintance paying $40 apiece for
them Later In the day the first pur-
chaser was boastlng of the rapid man
ner by which he had cleared s. and
still had q fine pineapple for supper

Married at eight o'clock Tuesday
evening, June 9th, at Ransomville,
N. Y, by the Rev. A. G. Dow, Edna
Adams, eldest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. d. H. Adams, of Emporium, Pa,
to Frank ID. Barnes, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. f. w. Barnes of this place.
Rev. Dow was former pastor ot
the Wesleyn Methodist church at EN-.
porium and after the words spoken
that made them man and wife, Rev.
and Mrs. Dow gave reception to the
young couple. They returned to Cuba,
Wednesday evening by the way OF
Buffalo, stopping there and spending
the day with the brides brother who
is engineer in the Niagara Hotel.
The couple will reside here and will
beat home as soon as the work ofsettle-
ing can be done, having rented the old
Ackley home on South street. The
groom is well and favorably known in
Cuba and his friends welcome the young
couple and wish them a happy future.

Was 1t LadV Like?

Mrs. Emma Mersereau Newton, for
merry a resident of Emporium, but OF
late years resident of New York city,
who takes to herself the "whole push"
of opposition to the public demand for
the paving of Fourth street. In her
article in this weeks Independent she
evidently labored under deusion, or
rather brain clot. We dislike very
much to take issue with q lady, but
since she has gone out of her path to
''throw mud" at ye editor and make
misrepresentation that are utterly
false and misleading, we beg the par
don of the fair sex. We are satisfied,
to pay just tax upon our holdings in
Emporium, yet we insist that prop
erty covering the most conspicuous
corner in town-75x25 teet-be valued
something near the market value and
not one sixth the price refused, as we
are informed, reliably. We are at a
loss to know of piece Of property in
Emporium advertised for sale for taxes.
If the lady refers to unseated land
sales of lands owned by Q. b. Howard
Co, Hon. Josiah Howard, ourselves
and others, she should be honest and
not attempt to mislead the public,
(and injure the innocent), yet most
sensible people know that land sales
take place every TWO years. This is a
mighty poor argument against public
improvements
Street paving is popular in Empori-
um and is coming along nicely, thank
you. Our taxpayers very generally
do not desire any of "your healthy
country roads" We have been pay
hundreds of thousands of dollars for
these beautiful ~ roads in the past.
Get aboard the band wagon and join
the shouting chorus. Onward with
clean, healthy brick paving from West
Creek bridge to Emporium Junction" :"
Enough of this. Emporium will ad-
vance-croakers to the rear, on the
healthy mud roads.

Hazel Crosby's Condition.

Miss Hazel Crosby of Sinnamahon-
ing, is in very precarious condition
from the result of fall sustained three
weeks ago last Saturday, while visiting
her sister, Mrs. Henry Wheaton at
Emporium Powder Company settle
ment. While riding horseback with
Miss Regina Blinzler, on little lark,
the horse took fright at an automo-
bile, dumping the girls off. Miss
Hazel felt little sore from the effects
of the shaking up but it was thought
at the time Of little importance. She
continued to grow worse, when DIR.
Beale of Driftwaod was called, who
pronounced the ailment a nervous
shock. Her condition has been rather
critical for some days. Mr. Henry
Wheaton informed the PRESS last
evening that the DR.. thinks that if
she holds herown for a few days she
will recover.

Blunle-DeitZler.


One of the most beautiful and i'm
pressive marriages was that of Miss
Anna Blumle, eldest daughter of Hon.
and Mrs. F. X. Blumle, and William
Deitzler, in st. Marh's Church, last
Monday morning. While the guests
were assembling in the church, Mrs. E.
T. Wells, organist of the church, rend-
cred some very sweet music and short
ly after nine o'clock the we'll known
Mendelssohn Wedding March was
sounded which announced the ap-
proach of the bridal party which pro-
ceeded up the centre isle of the
church in the following order: Usher,
Mr.. John Quigley and best man, Mr.
Francis Deitzler, a brother of the
groom; Miss Mary Blumle, handsome
ly attired in white, carrying basket
of beautiful flowers, as maid of honor,
followed by Miss Thressa Blumle as
BRIDES maid, who was very becoming.
lY gowned in pale blue; following her
came the bride, looking most beautiful
and charming, in her bridal robes of
pure white, her gown being of lace
| over white silk, and she were wreath
and long veil and carried a prayer
book. They were met at the altar by
the groom and the Rev. Father Kearns
who united them for life. Following
the marriage ceremony Nuptial High
Mass was celebrated which was very
impressive. The choir was at its best
and their responses in the Mass were
we'll rendered; Mrs. jerome Bell sang
the Ard Maria in her usual pleasing
manner. After the Mass the party left
the church to the strains of Mendel-
ssohn's wedding march and repaired
to the spacious and beautiful home of
the bride where a reception was held
for about two hundred invited guests.
May their future lives be as sunny as
was the day they made their VOWS as
man and wife, is the wish of the PRESS,
Mr.. and Mrs. Deitzer are spending
their honeymoon at Shamokin, the
nome OF the groom, and other eastern
points.
The bride was the recipient of many
beautiful, costly and useful presents.

Is the list of things that interest you
growing smaller or larger year after
year? What sort of things have you
taken off the list and what sort of
things have you added to it? Look it
over, this list-and analyze it critical
ly; just as though it were the other fell
low's-or the other woman's list. If
the list is larger than it was year ago,
congratulate yourself If it is smaller,
get little anxious and put yourself on
the witness stand. For the future add
something to this list continually, in
dustriously. For, in every item that
you add to it, you add an extension to
your lease of life, lengthen your years
