Tag ForTY SEVENTE ANNUAL SES-
SION OF THE TEACHER'S INSTITUTE OF
| CENTRE CoUNTY.— Looking as if they
were glad to throw aside the cares of the
"school room forawhile and enjoy a week’s
“diversion, which would be at once in-
"structive and recreative, the two
. dred and fifty and more teachers of the
| public schools came pouring in from all
sections of the county, on Monday
morning. The forty seventh annual
session of Institute began that day, in
Garman’s opera house, and it marked a
new phase in the history of these annual
gatherings of the teachers for mutual
instruction.
A larger percentage of the two hundred
and sixty-eight teachers, who are on
County Superintendent Gramley’s roll,
is present than has been customary for
years and in point of interest the session
has been far above the one of last year.
This is possibly due to the fact that the
Institute is holding in the opera house,
where the teachers are seated in rows
and numbered so that when once in
place they must remain during the en-
tire session or inconvenience many pev-
ple in trying to get out. The opera
house has proven its unfitness for such a
gathering, however, and this will possi-
bly be the only time it will be used.
While in some things it is superior to
the Court House there is a lack of pro-
too close together for peonle who are
forced to sit in them all day and the
gallery, when filled with young people
who attend ostensibly for good, but
really for mischief, has turned out to be
quite confusing in its effects upon both
instructor and instructed.
It is gratifying to note however that
notwithstanding the disadvantage un-
der which the Superintendent is labor-
ing, occasioned by the absence of sev-
eral of his best instructors, there has been
a marked improvement in the attention
that is given the work being presented
from the rostrum. The teachers seem to
have a keener relish for the good to be
gotten from contact with learned men
than has characterized them for some
time. Whether the change has been
brought about by the transfer from the
Court House, where everything seemed
to go on the free and easy plan, or by
the comparatively small attendance of
townspeople, we can’t help but compli-
ment the teachers of the county on their
general dignified demeanor and the ap-
parent appreciation of the needs of their
general attention to work. A decided
contrast from last year.
The absence of several of the adver-
tised entertainers for the week has left
a very unsatisfactory impression on
many of the steady goers and notwith-
standing good substitutes there has been
an air of disappointment about the
meetings which has detracted much
from their interest. Such men as Prof.
Geo. W. Twitmyer, principal of the
Honesdale schools ; Prof. Busse, head
of the Williamsport manual training
school; Dr. G. M. Phillips, of the
West Chester Normal school ; Ex-Sup’t.
Brumgart, of Lock Haven; Prof.
Swift, ot Ridgway ; Prof. Enoch Per-
rine, of Bucknell University at Lewis-
burg; Dr. Shaeffer, State Superinten-
den’ of public schools ; Prof. Lose, prin-
cipal of the Philipsburg schools; A. A.
Stevens Esq. of Tyrona, and several
other favorably known educators
have been here and left the
Impress of their favorite branches of
of study, so that when the hour of ad-
journment arrives this morning and the
teachers will have flnished their week’s
work they will go home all the better
for having been here. Even if the
quarters were uncomfortable and the
list of instructors not as varied as here-
tofore there has undoubtedly been some-
thing good for all of them.
The Directors’ meeting in the Court
House yesterday was well attended and
interesting, Many of the Directors of
the county having been in attendance.

——Christmas gifts, to please your
mother, daughter or sister, who have a
need for the useful or beautiful, at Mrs.
Gilmore's.
—It will be a disappointment to
many children to learn that the great
Forepaugh show will not go on the road
next season. Mr. Bailey, its owner who
owns most of the Barnum show also,
has decided to keep it off the road until
95. It lost money this year and for
that reason will be given a rest. The
Barnum show will visit only the large
cities in the country next season.
| THE BoARD oF TRADE BANQUETS
i THE NEW RAILROAD ProMOTERS.— The
dining rooms of the Bush House were
ablaze with lights last night, heavy fes-
toons of ever-green hung from the
chandeliers, rich cut glass shimmered
on the tables, and Meyers’ orchestra lent
its talent to please the fancy of the one
hundred and six men who sat about the
banquet board. Among them were
railroad men, known all over the Unit-
ed States, Ex-Governors, would be
Governors, prominent coal and iron men,
bankers and all the leading merchants
of the town.
It was a banquet given by the Belle®
fonte Board of Trade in honor of those
men who conceived the project and
pushed the new Central Railroad of
Pennsylvania to completion. At half
past nine o’clock the gentlemen, who
had previously assembled in the parlors
and corridors of the hotel entered the
dining room. The tables were arranged
in the form of a hollow square with a
small one in the centre. At its head
James Harris, president of the Board of
Trade, and presiding officer took his
place. Each cover was numbered, so
that the guests had little trouble in
finding the places assigned them,
There was a general bonkomie as
the various courses of the following
menu were served:
Blue Points in ce.
Green Turtle Consomme in Cups.
Sheepshead baked in Wine. Pecan Sauce.
Julienne Potatoes.
Appolinaris.
Boneless Turkey Currant Jelly
Baked Ham Champagne Sauce.
Canvas Back Duck a la Gephart.
Punch a la Romaine.
Broiled Quail on Toast.
Sweetbreads au Gratin in Cases.
Saratoga Chips
Crab Salad Chicken Salad.
Strawberry Ice Cream Marangue
Roman Cherry Ice.
Fruit. ® Assorted Cakes.
Roqueford Cheese. Fromage de Brie
Cafe Demi Tasse.
Cigars.
With cigars once lighted and the blue
smoke rings curling among the laurel
leaves over head a feeling of good fel-
lowship seemed to pervade the entire
party. Just then toast master Harris
let fall his fork on the table and in a
brief talk expressed his pleasure at hav-
ing an opportunity to participate in a
banquet which celebrated such an im-
portant event in the history of our
town. He then introduced ex-Governor
James A. Beaver, who delivered the
address of welcome. Hon. Charles M.
Clement, of Sunbury, who is really the
daddy of the charter of the new road,
made the response, D. F. Fortney Esq.
responded to the toast ‘Bellefonte in the
Past,” while J. W. Gephart General
Superintendent of the road was called up
on to foretell “the Future of Bellefonte.”
Then followed impromptu talks by Ex-
Governor Curtin and others of the dis-
tinguished party.
In itself the banquet was a decided
success, but those who were not there
look upon it as hopefully as the ones
more fortunate. In it they see the sig-
nal of a new Bellefonte and through it
expressed their appreciation of those
who have taken the flrst substantial
steps toward giving us an active busi-
ness town.
Among the distinguished guests
were: KE. T. Stotesbury, of Drexel & Co.,
Phila.; E. S. Welch of Phila, S. H. Hicks,
Vice President C. B. R. of Pa.; 1. A.
Sweigart, General Supt. Reading rail-
road; C. G. Hancock, Gen. Pass. Agent
Reading railroad; Hon. C. M. Clement,
of Sunbury, a Director of the road; C. W.
Willhelm, of Reading, a director of the
Valentine Iron Co.; A. G. Yates presi-
dent B.R.&P. R. R. B. G. Weleh,
Gen. Manager Williamsport, & North
Branch R. R ; A. G. Palmer, Gen. Sup t,
of the Beech Creek road; and J. S.
Ward, Division Sup’t. Reading R. R. ag
Williamsport. Frank Warfield, Gen-
eral Freight Agent C. R. R. cf Pa.
and J. W. Gephart, General Superin-
tendent of the new road.
The visitors arrived here about
noon over the Central, and during the
afternoon were shown about the town
under the direction of Col. William
Shortlidge, Mr. James Harris, Robert
Valentine, Wm. Lyon, R. KF. Hunter,
C. L. Kurtz and other members of the
Board of Trade.
RoBBED Ao CRIPPLE.—At an early
hour Sunday morning burglars entered
the little fruit and confectionery booth
which Mike Thal, an industrious cripple,
conducts on High street, just east of the
Arcade. He had just stocked up for the
Christmas trade and about $70 worth of
goods were taken. Mixed candies,
nuts, boxed oranges and about eight
hundred cigars formed most of the plun-
der with something over $5 in small
change which he had left in the drawer.
Itis hard to imagine that anyone
would have the heart to rob a person so
entirely helpless as Mike and his loss
will be sorely felt. He deserves the sub-
stantial sympathy of everyone; for
though crippled to a degree that would
incapacitate the average person he has
displayed an energy and a desire to hel
himself, ever since his child-hood, that
has been truly remarkable. We trust
the good people of our town will help
him in bis time of trouble by their lib-
eral patronage.
—— Rev. Ralph Illingworth, the pop-
ular young Methodist minister on the
Pine Grove Mills circuit, who delivered
two sermons in the Methodist church
here last Sunday, was married, on Wed-
nesday, to Miss Marion Snyder, only

Ferguson township farmer. The cere-
mony was performed in Tyrone by Rev,
B. B. Hamlin, presiding elder of this
district, and immediately afterward the
young couple left for Philadelphia and
other points east.
