Home From Dakota.

Thos. McGrain, who has been in
Custer, South Dakota, for year or
more, surprised his family Tuesday
noon by walking in upon them. Mr..
McGrain will visit with his family for
three weeks, after which he will re-
turn to Custer, being employed at the
gold mine, owned by Mr.. Fred Julian,
formerly of Emporium. His family
will remain in Emporium. Mr.. Nc
Grain was PRESS caller on Wednes-
day and assured us that our paper was
a welcome caller each week at Mr..
Julian's home, only missing two issues
since they moved there. Glad to hear
that Uncle Sam carries the old PRESS
that great distance without losing more
than two issues.

DEATHS DOINGS.
BARCLAY.

MRS. MARGARET ARABELLA LOCINA
BROOKS, wife of Congressman Charles
f. Barclay, of Sinnamahoning, whose
death we briefly announced in our last
issue, was laid at rest in the family lot
on the banks of the picturesque Sinna-
mahoning, amid the scenes of her child
hood, the funeral taking place Friday
afternoon, April 30th, 1909. Rev. r.
w. Runyon, pastor of nj. E. Church,
was in charge of the services at the
family residence. A very large num-
Der OF relatives and friends from out
OF town were in attendance at the
funeral, but owing to heavy rains and
the swelled condition of the streams
many were prevented from showing
that respect due the bereaved family.
Deceased was the second daughter of
the late Hon. John Brooks; was born
Aug. 18th, 1847, and is survived by her
husband and the following brothers
and sisters: Mr.. V. A. Brooks, Mrs.
ID. j. Wykoff and Mrs. j. d. Shirk,
Sinnamahoning; M. ]. b. Brooks and
M. N. U. L. Brooks, Driftwood; Mrs
A. Fl. Shafer, Ridgway, and j. w.
Brooks, Arizona. Deceased was mar.
ried to Hon. G. F. Barclay, Aug. %,
1872 and died without issue. She had
been great sufferer for many years
and last January was taken to the san
itarium at Elmira, hoping to receive
some relief and have the best attention
and care. All that money could pur-
chase was secured to make her COM
Portable and every known physician of
skill employed by the kind husband in
his effort to restore her to sound health.
But it was willed otherwise. While
unable to take an active part in social
or church duties she was ever ready to
aid a worthy cause and was charter
member OF the w. R. c., of Cameron
county.
Our citizens all deeply sympathize
with the family of the deceased, and
especially with our Congressman, who
was so gently patient and considerate
to his loving life-mate, seeking to
grant her every wish and comfort in
the closing years of her life.

cahy, of this place, was solemized in
st. james Catholic Church, at Drift
wood, by the Rev. Father McAvenue,
priest in charge, at o'clock last Tues.
day morning. Miss Kate Hackett,
sister of the bride, was BRIDES maid
and Mr.. John III. Mulcahy, brother OF
the groom, did the duties OF best man.
Only the immediate families witnessed
the ceremony. They will spend their
honeymoon at Philadelphia and other
Eastern points. The bride is one OF
Driftwood's most estimable young lad
les and has host of friends, while the
groom holds the responsible position
as First Assistant Post Master in the
office at this place and is very ex-
emplary young man. The PRESS and
their many friends wish them un.
bounded happiness during their future
life.

The Resnad Club.

One of the most enjoyable dances
siven at Emporium for some time, was
held last Monday evening by the
Resnad Club, at the Opera House. The
club is composed of Emporium's most
popular young men and when accom-
panied by Emporium's beautiful fair
sex, "a good time is sure to follow.
Through the painstaking efforts of the
President of the club, Mr.. James
Cavanaugh and his worthy assistants,
the dance and reception was made the
success that it was The Germania
Orchestra, of Lock Haven, furnished
the music for the occasion and those
who tripped the light fantastic are loud
in the praise of these fine musicians.
The programmes, numbering twenty
four dances, were small and arranged
in new order and were very neat and
attractive and were printed at the
PRESS office. When half through the
programme the entire party, number
ing about 100, repaired to the New
Warner, where mine host H. w. Smith
had prepared an elaborate luncheon,
to which all did ample justice. After
refreshments, dancing was resumed
and continued until the "wee SINAI"
hours. The opera house was very
tastefully decorated the work being in
charge of Mrs. B. G. Erskine and
Misses Edna Auchu and Christy Mac
Donald, who certainly deserve great
credit The first annual dance and re-
ception of the Resnad Club is over,
but very many pleasant thoughts will
linger in the memories of those who
attended.

Company M, Notes.

Major Bliss expects to visit Empori-
um, in a week or two. When he
comes he will take up the arrange
ments for the Battalion encampment
at Sizerville. The date proposed is the
last week in June.
A month ago the boys shipped ton
and half of old magazines and news
papers to Buffalo and netted S14.53.
They have begun to gather material
for another shipment, which they ex-
pect to make in few days. People
are asked to save their waste newepa-
pers and magazines and clean waste
paper for the boys. Notify Lieut..
Mark Ellis or Corporal w. III. Howard,
Jr., and the paper will be called for.
The economy of this method of raising
money is evident. The money comes
into the town from the outside, and
nothing goes out for it except material
that otherwise would be destroyed.
The grounds about Emmanuel
church have recently been reseeded
and rolled. The boys land all other
persons) are requested to keep off the
lawn.

his father-in-law, who has been In very

sided here for many years and was act
lively engaged in business until his
health failed. His large circle of
friends hope change of climate may
be beneficial to his health and that he
may pass his remaining days in peace
and ease, for he has certainly been a
hard working gentleman ever since we
knew him. The best wishes of the
PRESS follow them to their new home.

WILL NOT REDUCE WAGES.

Improvement in Iron and Steel
Industry Renders it Necessary.
On account of the big improvement
in the iron and steel industry, which
has resulted in greatly increased ton
mage for all the trunk lines, it was
stated officially yesterday that the
wages of railroad employees will not
be reduced, as planned a few weeks
ago, says the Pittsburg Post. Some of
the initial lines had prepared new
schedule of wages, which provided for
general reduction of about 10 per
cent. 1t was originally intended to
make the change effective about May
15 or June 1.
During the last two weeks the gain
in tonnage has been greater than for
any similar period in the last 1S
months. For the first % days of this
month one local road showed an in
crease of 1000 loaded cars over the
same period last year.
In connection with the present situa-
ton local officials refer to one year
ago to-day, when there were 413,OOO
idle freight cars in this country, re-
presenting an investment of $413,0
as compared with about 265,0O0 idle
cars at present.

The Archdeaconrv of Erie.

The semi-annual meeting of the
Archddaconry of Erie was held in the
church of Our Saviour, Dubois, on
Tuesday of last week. The Rev. j. M.
Robertson of Emporium, was reelected
secretary. The following were elected
members of the Missionary Board:
The Rev. j. d. Hills, D. D., Oil City;
the Rev. Martin Aigner Franklin; the
Rev. r. S. Radcliffe, Ridgway; Mr..
Josiah Howard, Emporium, Mr.. T. w.
Shacklett, Erie, Mr.. G. P. Brockway,
Warren.
The principal matter under discus
sion at the meeting was the question
OF the division of the diocese, or the
election of a bishop co-adjutor. The
question of division has been before
the diocese since 1892, but not until
three years ago did it assume much
prominence. Bishop Whitehead was
consecrated in 1882 and has seen
twenty-seven years of faithful, arduous
and efficient service. The work has
expanded and the demands upon the
Bishops services have become SO great
that he has felt amply justified in de-
inanding some measure of relief, either
through the division of the diocese, or
through the election of a co-adjutor.
The latter alternative does not seem to
meet with general favor At the Du-
Bois meeting the following action was
taken: Resolved, That it is the sense
of this meeting of the Archdea-
conry of Erie that the Diocese of Pitts
burgh be divided and such further steps
be taken as will insure and accomplish
the division" This resolution will be
reported to the Diocesan Conven-
tion which will meet in Pittsburgh
next Wednesday. What action will
be taken by the convention remains to
be seen.

Boat Stranded.

Last Saturday, w. w. Knickerbocker
and Ed. Extrom, employed at Empori-
um Powder Works, built a dog raft up
on which they started for Emporium.
With flying colors the craft rode
majestically down the raging stream
and all went grandly until the Capt
cried "look to your dinner pals, rocks
ahead" The crash was mighty, the
wreck was complete and into the
mighty deep went the brave sailors.
After struggle they landed safely,
like the unfortunate fishermen.

Some Signs of Spring.

A poetic exchange warbles after this
musical fashion: "When ye don't feel
much like workin' and ye think ye'd
rather rest when the robins diggin'
fishing baits and Biddy's on the nest !;
when the women folks are cleaning
and the carpets on the line, and the
kids are tiein' pinhooks on six.foot
length of twine; when the "sportin'
page" is film up with figures set in
squares, and Cupids' fixing up a lot of
double-action snares. When the mail
man scatters packages of seeds along
his route the spring fevers' apt to
git ye if ye don't watch out"

Judge Hall Gives Boys Some
Fatherly Advice.

| On Saturday afternoon a session oil
! juvenile court was held, there being a
number of Pennington boys under the
age of 16 years who had been indicted
| for breaking into boat houses at that
place and purloining therefrom arti-
cles of no great value to themselves,
but with which the owners of the same
were loath to part.
When the cases were called the at
torney for the defense stated that one
of the accused was over the legal age
for trial at this court and he was ac-
cordingly held for the general session
in July. To the great surprise of those
in the court room at the time Judge
Hall cast aside the dignity of the
court, stepped from the bench and
seated himself on a chair at the side
of the other two lads. For some time
this learned tourist gave them heart
to heart talk, saying that he did not
desire to punish them, but that in
learning of the circumstances sur-
rounding the case and some other in
formation about them he feft that they
should be placed in some institution
where they might learn trade that
would be of benefit to them when once
thrown upon the world on their own
resources, and at the same time ac-
quire an education that would prove
of value to them in after life. After
speaking in fatherly manner Judge
Hall returned to his accustomed place
and ordered the lads to be sent to a
reformatory, promising to visit them
on future date and if they showed
him an inclinption to follow the
straight and narrow path, he would
ask for their release in due time. In
the meantime he made personal re-
quest that both of the youthful pris-
oners write him a weekly letter stat
ing their likes, dislkes and expert
ences at the institution to where they
were committed. This action of the
presiding judge impressed the specta-
tors equally as much as it did the two
boys. Lock Haven Daily Express.
