Relic of Fire.

Mrs. Robertson, wife of Rev. j. NJ.
Robertson, Rector OF Emmanuel
Church, this city, sends us q copy of
the Monticello Republican Watchman
issued after the big fire that destroyed
seventy-four business houses and resi-
dences. The paper is issued from a
barn. Mrs. Robertson and children
returned only a few days ago from
Monticello, her old home. The paper
will be great relic and reminds us of
the great fire in Emporium when the
PRESS was completely wiped out and
like the Watchman, did not have Que
dollars insurance. The Watchman
and Monticello, like the PRESS, will
rise, Phoenix like.

Honor for Treasurer Sheath.
R. R. MCQUAY, Secretar.

The Philadelphia division, No. 1872,
Order of Railroad Telegraphers, has
conferred an unusual honor upon
State Treasurer John o. Sheath. The
organization has passed a resolution
unanimously endorsing Mr.. Sheath
for any elective Office to which he may
aspire"
The resolution was introduced in a
recent meeting of the association by
President j. j. Mclaughlin and ap.
proved by committee composed of
the president, Secretary H. o. Mining
and II. A. Ramsey. The resolution
further provides that all members of
the order do all they can to aid the
president in aiding the state treasurer
in any political way deemed advisable.
When Mr.. Sheath was in the legis-
lature he, upon numerous occasions.
did favors for the members of the or
der. The letter from Secretary Min
mig, received this morning by Treas
urer Sheath, calls attention to these
facts and compliments Mr.. Sheatz
upon the business-like way in which
he has conducted his office.

to miss paying that last mark of re-
spect due our friend, neighbor and
patriot-one of those brave men, now
rapidly passing away, who sacrificed
their lives and shattered their health
that this Union of States might live.
Deceased was well respected and
honored for his many good traits of
character. He leaves seven children,
(his wife having passed away over two
years ago)-four daughters and three
sons-to mourn his death, viz: Mrs.
Emma Howell, Altoona, Pa; Mrs. r.
/. Jones, Sterling Run; Mrs. r. L.
Waters, Redwood, w Va; Mrs. Ella
McSwan, John, Geo. A, and Sam'l A.,
Of Emporium, all of whom were in at
tendance at the funeral, which was

Plenty of Plun1S.

Lincoln PeI.oy as Good as
Nickel.

WASHINGTON, AUG. 16.--It has been
discovered that the new Lincoln penny
is five times as valuable, in one re-
spect at least, as the old Indian head
cent. Being a trifle larger and heavier
than the old one cent piece, the new
coin it has been asccrtained, to the es-
ceedlng discontinue of the telephone
companies, will answer the place of a
five cent piece when making a call.
Already many Lincoln pennies have
been found in its pay station boxes
by the local telephone company.

Life is a Funny Proposition.

Man comes into this world without
his consent and leaves it against his
will. During his stay on earth his
time is spent in one continuous round
of contraries and misunderstanding by
the balance of our species. In his in
fancy he is an angel; in his boyhood he
is devil; in his manhood he is every
thing from lizard up; in his duties he
is damn fool; if he raises a family he
is chump; if he raises small check,
he is thief, and then the law raises
the devil with him; if he is poor man
he is poor manager and has no sense;
if he is rich, he is dishonest, but con-
sidered smart; if he is in politics, he is
a CRATER and a crook; if he is out of
politics, you can't place him as he is
an undesirable citizen; if he goes to
church he is hypocrite; if he stays
away from church he is sinner and
damned; if he donates to foreign mis-
sions, he does it for show; if he doesn't,
he is stingy and tight-wad. When
he first comes into the world, every
body wants to kiss him-before he goes
out they ali want to kick him. If he
dies young, there was great future
before him; if he lives to alripe old age,
he is simply in the way in living to
save funeral expenses. Life is funny
road, but we all like to travel it just
the same.

Vaccinate The Children.

Under the school law, vaccination
of school children is compulsory.
Every child must produce evidence
that it has been successfully vaccinat-
ed or it can not be admitted to the
schools. Attendance at the last ses-
sion is evidence of compliance with
the law and such will have little diff
Guilty in passing the test. Others
must strictly attend to this and should
be done Immediately. The Board of
Education will enforce this to the
letter.

We regret to announce that Mr.. j..
B. Meisel, who recently returned from
Philadelphia hospital, will leave
again this evening for the hospital, his
arm continuing to cause him great
pain. We, in common with all his

CAMP NOTES.

The terrible disappointment to the
hundreds Of persons at all western
points, especially Ridgway, st. Marys
and Emporium, last Sunday when they
learned that the railroad company
would not run train to Sizerville, was
beyond all reason. AT least one thous-
and persons would have taken in the
trip and netted large sum of money
to the railroad company and entailed
small outlay. No reason has been
given-in fact the railroad company
can't give one.
Many persons walked to SizervilIe, a
distance ofsix miles, and return last
Sunday, being unable to secure trans
portation. Every livery rig and auto
mobile was engaged and then it was
almost impossible to get the crowd
back to Emporium in time to connect
with the evening train for Ridgway
and st. Marys.
j. H. Ellinger, wife and son, Mrs.
H. NJ. Keim, and Mr.. and Mrs. Philip
Schrirk, of Ridgway, autoed to camp
on Sunday last, returning home same
night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dix and two children
and Mr.. Paul Arnold, of Ridgway,
visited camp last Monday.
