WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, JU T -Y 14, 1904. The Democratic Muddle. | The Democratic National Conven- tion finally adjourned last Sunday j morning after making a cowardly change in their platform by striking : out the sound money plank, thereby going before the people without an is sue, noo having the courage to face a question of so vital importance. Be- j fore nominating Judge Parker for the j Presidency lie wired them that he did | not endorse the platform, then the blue sulphur flew around in good old bour | bon style. Ex-Senator H. G. Davis, of i West Virginia a good old man, aged 81 years, was nominated from that safe and reliable Republican state for Vice President. The Philadelphia Press sums up the. work of the convention in a lengthy editorial, from which we extract the following: "Judge Parker's unexpected tele- gram was a thunder-clap. It threw the convention first into passionate up- roar and indignation and then into sullen resentful helplessness. The im- mediate impulse was to throw over- broad the presumptuous candidate who condemned and spit upon fheconven- tion and platform, and plunge into a wild struggle for a new standard bear- er. But it did not take long for even the embittered leaders who felt that they had been deceived, misled and putin a grotesque position to see that this would only aggravate their troubles, and that, galling as it was, they had better swallow their humilia tion, and find some way out of the dilemma. The result was an answer to Judge Parker which was equivalent to saying: "We have made fools of our selves on the money question; we are hopelessly divided, we can't say any- thing, and you can do as you please." "It is plain from all reports and from every act that the conventiou was the most disorderly, the most inept, the most vacilating and inconsequent of any within public memory. It was in- capable in its speeches, rioutous in its conduct, and double faced in its action. Many able men participated in its counsels, but the deepseated taint of a reckless, irresponsible organization seemed to infect its whole being. The majority where half hearted and un- certain in their beliefs and the minor- | ity were aggressive and defiant. They | reached nominal harmony through ' 1 violent discord only by finally agreeing i ! on suppression and Hilence. The whole j j proceeding from beginning to end was ! typical of an ineffective party which is I unfit for government and disqualified j even for serious and competent opposi- ! tion. A (ilorious Success. Emporium has every reason to be proud of her Fourth of July demon- stration. The town was crowded with people from all the adjoining towns, as far west as Kane, Olean on the north and Williamsport east. Every person who ever resided here was in evidence if they could get here. The day open- j ed early, or rattier the boys with the j cannon opened the eyes of those sleep- | ing when the clock struck twelve. The j ball games started at eight o'clock, be- ween Driftwood and Renovo, resulting n a victory for Renovo. The Empori- im nine made the victors bite the dust l the afternoon. The grand street parade at eleveu elook, was the best ever witnessed in nporium and admirably arranged, th plenty of music by Sinuamahon- and Emporium Bands and Major -phy's Drum Corps, the marching he several organizations were ?b. The great hit of the day and lost pleasing were the floats rep ing the States, as well as two loats, each containing a large \u25a0r of Emporium's handsomest : adies. The floats representing of our business houses were and well gotten up. We I ike to give more space to de- | e exhibit but space will not j " rain at six o'clock, cut short | at Keystone Park and com- | committee to transfer the j le opera house and rendered j of fireworks a failure, si committees having in arrangt..-cnts, worked with i should feel iiiguiyrepaid, j :s were a grand success «iiu | age them to try again in the i jcorations were fine and espec- j 3 floats. They were designed ! ecorated by Mr. J. H. Beunett, .vas engaged by the committee to charge of this part of the work, certainly made a fine display and .ed in making the parade a success. Program for Firemen's Convention. The committee of the Warren Fire j Department, who are engaged in list ! ing attractions and making prepara- : tions for the convention and carnival | to be held at Warren during the week beginning August 7th, are busy with j the arrangements and thus far have i met with much success. The carnival j is certain to prove a great attraction and the interest shown by the people of Warren is encouraging' to the fire- | men, who are deserving of the general support of the community. This is not a money making affair. The fire- men are only desirous of entertaining the firemen of the Northwestern Pennsylvania Firemen's Association and the visitors in a proper manner. The merchants will profit from the great crowds that will visit Warren and they should co-operate in making the week a gala one. ?Warren Mirror. Gents furnishings at N.

PATRICK HALEY, aged about 59 years, died Sunday morning from the effects of a paralytic stroke. Sunday morning, July 3rd, at an early hour, while attending to his duties as "watch- man at the Emporium tannery he was stricken down, but succeeded in mak- ing sufficient noise to attract the at- tention of engineer Murray. The faithful watchman was taken to his home 011 South Broad street and Dr. Bardwell summoned. He continued to grow worse and finally passed away last Sunday morning at seven o'clock, having been unconscious most of the time since his illness commenced, sur- rounded by his faithful wife and chil- dren. Patrick Haley and wife came from Ireland in 1863, locating at Emporium, having been married just before sail- ing. Their only companion was the late David Murry, who also made his home in Emporium. Mr. and Mrs Healy reared a family ofeight children, four girls and four bojs, viz: Mary, Ella, Margaret, Annie, Thomas, John, James and William, all of whom are living and present at the funeral, ex- cept Thomas in Montana, John in Colorado and Annie who is sick at Olean?her husband, Mr. Edward May and daughter, however, being present. During the 41 year that Mr. Haley resided here he has been energetic and accumulated a good home and retained the confidence and respect of 'our citi- zens. His glad hatuj was always ex- tended to a friend. When "Pat" Haley was a friend, he was one you could bank on; if he was not a friend you would know it in no un- mistakable language. Farewell, old friend; we shall long remember a friendship that existed between the writer and yourself that could not be broken by the strife of this world. THE FUNERAL. The funeral services were conducted at St. Mark's Catholic church, Tues day morning,when High Requim Mass was celebrated- The large church was filled with friends of the deceased, comprising all creeds. Rev. Fat'ier Downey's remarks upon the occasion were solid truths and sank deep in the hearts of all listeners. The deceased was a member of the C. M. B. A., and carried §2.000 insur- ance. HOLBROOK. Miss MAY HOLBROOK, aged 40 years and ten months, died very suddenly about mid-night, Wednesday, July 6th, having been taken seriously ill about six o'clock. Dr. DeLong, who resides next door to Miss Holbrook was sum- moned and rendered all the aid he could but her weak heart soon failed and she passed away, surrounded by a few of her intimate lady friends. Miss Holbroook, who had been a cripple all her life, has during the past year or more failed very rapidly in health. In fact at the time of her death she was preparing togo to her sister, Mrs. E. E. Forbes at Marietta, Ohio, to have a serious operation performed. De- ceased was a member of Emmanuel Episcopal Church and Emmanuel Guild and while she lived somewhat of a retired life she attended and con- tributed cheerfully to all church work, having considerable means of her own. In spite of her dire affliction she was cheerful and bright, as well as witty. Since the death of her mother, ten months to the day, she had resided in the old homestead, which she in- herited from her mother, together with a number of other properties. Mr. and Mrs. Forbes were promptly telegraphed for, the sister arriving here Thursday eveningand Mr. Forbes the following day. The shock to Mrs. Forbes was severe whan she arrived in Emporium to learn her sister had passed away. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon from the family residence, Rev. J. M 1 Robertson, Rector of Em- manuel Episcopal Church officiating and the church choir conducting the singing. Although the day was very disagreeable and rainy, quite a large number of old friends were in attend- ance at the services. Interment was made in Newton Cemetery in the family lot, beside her father and mother. f** LOGUE.

Never in his long and useful life did he wrong a human being. He never had an enemy, Harrison Logue was married to Elizabeth Nelson in 1843. She died nearly 17 years ago. Mr. Logue was the father of eight children all of whom are living, 40 grand child- ren, 31 of whom are living and seven great grand children of whom six are now living. The funeral took place Wednesday, afternoon, July 6th, at two o'clock at the old Huntley Church. Trulya good man has gone to rest. A short time before he died, he said, "Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord forever." His daughter Mrs. Emeline Whitney, grand-daughter May and grandson Harry, of Superior, Wis., arrived the day he died. He recognized them all and spoke to them. At the close of a quiet, peaceful Sabbath day, typical of his own life, he breathed his last. At his bedside were four of his children, Mrs. Alonzo Nelson, of Wharton, Pa., Mrs. James D. Whitney, of Superior, Wis., William and David Logue, both of Huntley, Mrs. Clark Johnson, (Charlotte N.) ofOwego, N. xT., arriv- ed in time for the funeral. Potter Journal jileaae copy. **? BAKER.
