Rev. DR.. G. II. johnston a Leader


A very lengthy article, clipped from
the Duncannon Record, was mailed to
the PRESS. We would like to publish
the entire writing but being crowded
fer space in this issue we must of ne
cessity condense the article
''Never before in the history of Dun
cannon has such intense enthusiasm,
unity of spirit and oneness of brother
hood prevailed as on last Tuesday eve
ming at the Presbyterian church when
a areception and social was rendered the
the Mems Meeting DR.. Johnson, the
pastor, was the power and spirit of this
great movement, as he announced the
order of exercise three hundred and
sixteen men arose, responding in a
mighty chorus to, "All Hail the Power
of jesus Name" DR.. Johnson then
announced the purpose he had in view
for the betterment of our young men,
either by founding an organization, as
a Y. Nj. G. A. or brotherhood or upon
educational lines, in night school or
reading rooms. He suggested that he
would like to have the opinion of the
men in regard to their continuance.
When asked how many men were will
ing to have the meetings continued,
three hundred and sixteen men arose
as with one impulse to sanction the
movement. DIR. Johnston is a leader
among men and by these meetings he
has enlarged the attendance at church
services through which he reaches
from seven hundred to eight hundred
each Sabbath" Rev. Johnston will be
remembered by all our people in EN-
porium who will be pleased to hear
that he is meeting with such great sue
ces in his new charge.

Much Needed Improvement.

Judge Geo. J. LaBar realized that the
Borough could not repair all the bad
places in the streets and became tired
of looking at the mud holes in front OF
his residence kindly volunteered to
furnish the team work if the Borough
would repair the unsightly breaks,
which they promptly accepted and are
now doing the work. West Fifth
street has long been neglected by the
Borough authorities and they have just
reason to complain, This part Of our
town has grown wonderfully within
the past five years and now contains
some of the most comfortable homes in
town. Nothing speaks louder for a
town than well keep streets. Many
towns in this state are bonding their
municipalities exclusively for the i'm
provements of the streets. What will
Emporium do?

EMMANUEL EPISCOPAL.

The altar in Emmanuel Church was
beautifully adorned with carnations and
hyacinths in honor of the Resurrection
Festival. But no flowers, however
beautiful, can quite take the place of
Easter lilies on yesterday. All the
services were we'll attended. The
number of those who received the holy
communion was the greatest in the
history of the parish at the Easter cele-
brations. A large proportion of these
were members of the last confirmation
class. While the choir was not so large
as it has been at some former Easter
services, the singing of Tours service
was very effective. The solos by
Messrs. Sterner and Leutze were very
we'll rendered. In his sermon the
Rector said that the joy of Easter is
the joy not of those who have escaped
or.avoided the pains and hardships,
the sorrow and darkness of life, but of
those who have experienced all these,
and out of these and through these
have come to higher faith and to a
clearer vision and hope.
The offering to apply on the balance
of the Parish House Repair Fund Debt,
amounted to a little more than one
hundred dollars. AS the note does not
I'll due until April %, there is still time
for any to contribute to this offering
who have not yet done so. The Mite
Box Offering of the Sunday school
amounted to $21.47
AT the Easter Monday meeting the
members of the old Vestry were re.
elected, viz: Messrs. Thos. Gallagher,
B. w. Green, Josiah Howard, w. H
Howard, Joseph Kaye, j. d. Logan, H
II. Mullin, T. H, Norris, Henry Robin
son and Edward Viner.

Bachelor Reflections.

When people lead the simple life it is
because they have to.
Generally man can invest some
thing that will work if it isn't any use.
A man always thinks he is enjoying
himself because he's away from home.
You can ask girls father for her
hand, but you have to get her heart
from her.
There's fair chance to get rich in
making up your mind not to waste any
time trying merely to earn it.-Ex.

A History of the Mountaineers.

| A History of the Mountaineers.
A Jolly Mountaineer Club was or
ganized on December %, 1886, at which
time tbs following officers were elected:
President, G. F. Balcom; Vice Presi-
dent, Thomas Gallagher; Secretary, j.
NJ. Dawson; Asst Secretary, w. s..
Walker; Treasurer, Chas. Seger. This
was Emporium's social club and many
of the events are still bright III the
memories of many members. The
Mountaineer Club continued until
Nov. of 1887, when the Mountaineer
Hose Company was started with about
% charter members, with the follow ing
officers at the helm. President, H. y.
Burlingame; Vice President, @. ).
Lanstrum; Secretary, j. Clark Motzger;
Treasurer, w. S. Walker; Foreman,
DIR. E. O. Bardwell; 1st Asst. Foreman,
w. S. Walker; 2nd Asst. Foreman,
Chas. Seger. James NJ. Dawson was
elected President to finish the ur )xpir-
ed term of Mr.. 2urlingame anc filed
the Office for three terms. Mr.. Davi-
| son is now the honored president of
the organization and has stood by the
company ever since it was started and
more capable and energetic president
could not be found. Out of the small
company of % members the Mountain
eer Hose Company has steadily ad-
vanced until it now has a membership
of about so. 1t is strong social COM
pany and everything they undertake is
a success. The company is very
prompt to respond to the call of fire
and is never known to shirk a duty.
At regular meeting held in their
rooms April 9th, 1909, the following
officers were elected to serve for the
ensuing year: President, Jas. M.
Dawson; Vice President, r. M. Nc
Quay; Secretary, Guy \. Klees; Treas
urer, Leon R. Felt; Foremen, Joseph
E. Burnside and Asst. Foreman, Roy
Burlew. With these people at the
head of this strong organization every
thing is sure to prosper.
This organization, while they, like
all other of the fire companies, receive
$50 per year from the Borough and
realized quite sum from entertain
ments, are economical in their ex-
| penses and invest their funds for the
betterment of the company, thus add
ing to the value and efficiency of the
department. The boys have husband
ed their means for some time, intend
ing to purchase chemical cart. They
recently closed the bargain for a first
class chemical cart, through Haupt &
Gerg, this enterprising firm donating
their commission The cart cost $3.50
and is expected here on Friday or
Saturday. This new apparatus will be
a great saving to property no doubt.
This is very commendable in the
Mountaineers and we hope our other
efficient companies may utilize their
appropriations for similar apparatus,
all of which will relieve the Taxpayers
and be appreciated

HORSE ASLEEP TWO WEEKS
Animal Does Not Awaken After Slid.
ing Down Side Of California
Mountain.

San Bernardino. Cal.-Charles Muir,
a mine owner of Wild Rose canyon,
has horse which went to sleep two
weeks ago and has not awakened
since. That it slowly is coming out
of its repose. Muir says. is evident by
its increasing susceptibility to the re-
port of shotgun, with which he has
daily tested its power of hearing.
More than two weeks ago the horse
was lost and when found it was in a
gorge. Muir discovered where 1t had
slid down a steep side of the noun
tain. The animal was bruised. but
was led back to the Muir place. Muir
threw forkful of alfalfa to the ami
NAL, but the next morning was sur
prised to find the horse still standing
where he had left it. The feed had
not been touched.
Muir discharged a shotgun close to
the horse and slight jerk of its head
indicated that the noise had been
heard, and this had been kept up
daily. Transfers believe the horse
strained or Jared the nerves which
control consciousness.

Are Distinct Improvement on the
Tight Garment That Ex-

new skirts have width at the hem.
Even the street ones are three and four
yards wide. and the house ones are
from six to seven yards at the hem.
They are not lined or stiffened or
worn over petticoats. but they have n
graceful fullness. They are not held
back by elastics. and give no appear
ance of the grotesque.
They are quite ample. easy to walk
in and more graceful on every figure

There are all sorts of rumors that
the new skirt at the Paris races will

to all rumors these days no one would
buy a gown with any feeling of Sc

ALTERING AN EVENING GOWN.
Scheme Very Much In Fashion and
One That Is Quite Easy to
Carry Out. 3

II the girl who INDUCED In n scanty,
SHINY cut sheath gown last winter
wants to change 1t bit to give mop
OF the classic suggestion. she can do
this by using two wells as drapery.
The idea is very much In fashion
and is easy to carry out. The wells
themselves are often used by high
priced dressmakers instead of buying
chiffon cloth and hemming It. Tho
wells have n selvage which makes
them quite effective.
One of the attractive ways Of
draping them is to catch one at each
shoulder. drawing It up under the
arm and fastening on top with a paste
buckle. The edges lower down may
be lightly caught together over the
arm a little above the elbow. This
gives filmy but straight drapery from
shoulder to hem which puts one In the
picture this season.
Again. an extra long veil is dropped
across the back and caught at the
back of each shoulder with a buckle
and the ends left to hang straight.
