DEATHS DOINGS.
REED.

The ''grim reaper" of death has
again invaded our midst and claimed
for his victim an old and highly re-
spected person and citizen of our Bor-
ough by the death of MRS. ROSE REED,
wife of our esteemed townsman, Platt
Reed.
Mrs. Reed has been great sufferer
for the past eight years and had gone
far and wide in search of help, but
through it all she bore up bravely and
without complaining until death came
at last and put an end to her sufferings
and she passed peacefully away Mon.
day morning, Oct. IS, 1909, at the
family residence on Spring street, sur
rounded by her entire family and q
number of friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reed came to Empori-
nm from New York many years ago
and have resided in this vicinity al
most constantly from that time to the
present date. During their residence
here they have made a host of friends,
who deplore her untimely death and
deeply sympathize with the bereayed
husband and children in tiSts their
hour Of terrible affifction.
Mrs. Reed raised a family Of Ave
children. namely: Mrs. Il. q. Whea-
ton, Mrs. W. P. Wheaton, Mrs. w. P.
Utter, Samuel Reed, Miss Ruth and
Jessie, all of whom survive her and
were present at her bedside at the last
1t is said that "death loves shining
mark'' and by the death of Mrs. Reed
the saying seems to be proven. She
was always going about trying to help
and comfort others and doing all the
good she possibly could.
Our profound sympathy is extended
to the bereaved husband and children
who are left to mourn.
The funeral was conducted from the
house and interment was made in
Wiley Cemetery, Wednesday after
noon, October 20, 1909.

The Fascinating Career of "Miss
PetticoatS."

The heroine of this famous play
caught the attention of the play going
public Immediately on its production
at the great Boston Theatre, and made
production hit because of her very
original and charming personality.
When first dramatized from the book
and produced at the Boston Theatre
about five years ago, it scored an i'm
mense success, and the critics were un-
unanimous in pronouncing it "a strong
emotional play, full of wholesome
comedy and quaint wit, that appeals
to an old theatre-goer" Therein was
the secret of the success of "Miss Petit
coats" 1t pleased the old habitue
OF the theatre, who is look
ing for a new sensation, and found in
this original play that pungent; spicy
atmosphere which is like the real New
England people themselves, where the
play was laid. No more interesting
Q ne can be imagined than the shores
of an old whaling port like New Bed
ford, where in the quaint cabin home
of derelict whaler Agatha Benier
called "Miss Petticoats" as pet name
by her grandfather, made her home,
until brought into the high and mighty
seats of the rich. She graduates even
from that set to the artistic circles of
Paris, where as the Countess Fornay
she creates sensation, and finally re-
turning to her native land, triumphs
over all her former enemies, who have
made her life interesting TO her and
the audience. There are many droll
and unique characters peculiar to New
England, who furnish forth great fun
and frolic, that give the play delight
fully fresh environment. A powerful
company, who carry their own new
and artistic scenery descriptive of these
fascinating scenes, will present "Miss
Petticoats" at the Emporium Opera
House, Saturday evening, Oct. 23rd.

A Vote of Confidence.

Every Cameron county voter should
mark his ballot on Nov. I'd for every
Republican nominee and let it be a
vote of confidence in President Taft
and the Republican Congress for their
loyalty and persistent efforts, for
IN onths, in their battle to secure that
protection to the Industries of Penn
sylvania so essential to the welfare
and prosperity of our people; rescuing
as it did, within a short time, the
country from the grasp of the free
traders and ''reformers." Every
reasonable voter: cannot help but be
proud of the heroic battle made, days
and nights, by United States Senator,
Bois Penrose and our Congressman,
Hon. Chas. F. Barclay, to brush away
the dark cloud lowering over the coun-
try. Our fair land is on the steady
pull for years of prosperity far in ad-
vance of any yet known in this coun-
try. The wage earners and the manu-
facturers appreciate this fact and will
this year vote, almost to a man, for
their homes and families, despite the
demagogues and alarmists. The great
reception rendered Senator Penrose,
last Saturday, by the employees of the
textile manufactures of Philadelphia
forcibly demonstrated the gratitude
the laborers feel for his gallant battle
made In their behalf. He Is q giant.

way the Eagles devoured that game it
would indicate that the supper was
the greatest enjoyment of the evening".
Everybody seemed to do justice to the
meal, even if they may have done an
injustice TO themselves. Over go per-

State Baptist Convention at VIII
IionSrort

StaCe baptfSt Convention at VIII
.t- Transport.
Special to the Pyess:-
The Baptist constituency of the State
of Penn'a, met in their annual conven-
tion at Williamsport this week. The
sessions of Monday evenin g and Tues
day morning were devoted to the work
of the Ministerial Union. The attend
ance is very good though not as large
as was expected. The main address of
Monday evening was delivered by
Rev. l. N. Earle, of Lewisburg, his
theme was "The drama of history"
beginning with the prologue of human
history as found in the Book of
Genesis. DR.. Earle traced the hand of
God down through the ages, reaching
the first great climax on Calvary and
pointing to the second climax which
will be the return of Christ to the earth
for personal reigu. "The sublimest
event of the ages" quotes Rev. Earle,
twas the incarnation of God, God be-
coming human being, and ranking
himself as an historical parsonage" !"
The address was most masterly in
thought and aroused considerable COM
ment. E. w. Powell, 8. T. D., of
Phila., in an address on "Jesus and His
person." said that the two main ques-
tions of the day are, what do we
know about Jesus and His works?"
and "What do we think of Jesus and
His works?''
During Tuesday and Wednesday ad-
dresses were made by such men as DIR.
A. J. Rowland, Philadelphia; L. w.
Hainer, Norristown; w. J. Lockhart,
Harrisburg; W. M. Walker, Scranton,
and J. E. Darby, Oil City. Mr.. Lock-
hart presented in very vivid manner,
the tangible results of the work accom-
plished by the Tabernacle Church of
Harrisburg, laboring among the Hun
garians and Italians.
Geo. T. Webb, of B. Y. P. u, inter-
national fame, thrilled the convention
with his report on the present status
of the young peoples work and the
possibility of 80 educating and mould
ing the lives of the future church lead
ers that in few years the church
would have wealth of talent, power
and finances at her command.
Tuesday evening a reception was
held in the parlors of the First church,
for the delegates. Wednesday even
ing the members of the stewardship
committees of the various associations
gathered in the Y. M. 9. A., to enjoy
a supper and an address delivered by
Rev. John Moore, of Boston, Mass.
We regret that space will allow no
further report of this, which is conceded
to.be one of the best State conventions
ever held by the Baptist denomination.
