live in the vicinity of the Collins fur.
nace, are reduced to a state of abject
distress and have resorted to thieving
in order to keep themselves. The arrest
of the one was made more for an ex-
ample to the others than anything else
and it is thought now that they will
behave themselves.
Tae TeacHErs ARE HERE. —The
forty-eighth annual session ot the Cen-
tre county teachers’ institute will con-
clude its sitting here at noon to-day.
The institute opened Monday morning
and during the week there have been
957 of the total of 269 teachers present.
The sessions have been largely attended
by persons interested in school work and
much information has been culled from
the various talks by those who were in-
clined to improve the time. It took
nearly all of Monday morning to or-
ganize the institute and J. Calvin Mor-
ris, the enrollment clerk, was kept busy
until noon getting the names down
right. The officers and committees
were announced as follows :
President, C. L. Gramley, County
Superintendent ; Vice Presidents, Rev.
D. M. Wolf, Miss Bella Rankin ; Re-
cording Secretary, W. H. Limbert ;
Eaorolling Clerk, J. Calvin Morris.
Resolutions : A. C. Thompson, A. R.
Rutt, J. F. Garthoff, Jennie Morris
Sarah Bechdol.
Elections : R. U. Bitner, L. H. Yo-
cum, J. L. Holmes. ~
Memorial Committee: J. O. Harp-
ster, H. G. Meese, Clara Lukens.
Auditing Committee: David O. Et-
ters, H. C. Rothrock, H. A. Dutwiler.
Permanent Certificate Committee . J.
F. Harrison, W. £. Keen, D. E. Robb,
Elias Hancock, Theo. Pletcher.
At the Monday afternoon session Hon.
Henry Houck, Dep. State Sup’t. of Pub-
lic Instruction, and Dr. A. E. Winship,
of Boston, Mass., spoke on general edu-
cational topics ; the former delivering a
lecture on ‘Bound to Win,” in the eve-
ning.
Tuesday’s eveuing’s session was taken
up with talks by Sup’t. Lose, of the
Philipsburg public schools, whose theme
“gradation of common schools” was
well handled ; Dr. Houck gave a prac-
tical talk on how to teach spelling and
Dr. Winship then gave an interesting
dissertation on ‘moral school work.”
The exercises were varied by singing
which was led by Prof. Swift. In the
afternoon the institute visited State Col-
lege in & body, a special train over the
Bellefonte Central carrying them. They
spent the afternoon there pleasantly and
returned in the evening in time to listen
to Dr. Winship’s masterful lecture on
«Conversers and Orators’ in which he
held the questionable ground that con-
versation is more convincing than
oratory.
Wednesday Dr. A. S. Draper, presi-
dent of the University of Illinois, was
added to the corps of instructors and a
brighter man has never before addressed
a Centre county assemblage of teachers.
His talks were treats indeed. During
the day he addressed the Directors, who
met in the High school building and
who were greatly pleased with the plain
matter of fact way he talked sense on
the public school question. His lecture
in the evening on “The Spirit of the
Teacher’ was equally as able as his
talks during the day.
Thursday’s and Friday’s sessions were
characterized by large attendance. Prof.
Chas. H. Albert, of the Bloomsburg
State Normal school ; Hon. Stockton
Axson, representing the society for the
extension of university teaching; and
Dr. S. I. Handy, of Newark, N. J.
aided in making the sessions interesting
with talks on various matters of interest
to the teachers.
During the trip to State College the
members of the institute were given an
opportunity of seeing the cadets drill,
as well as of visiting the various depart-
ments of study. To say that they were
delighted with their entertainment
while at the College is expressing it
mildly. Upon their arrival they were
received in the pretty chapel, where
President Atherton welcomed them.
Sup't Gramley responded in behalf of
the teachers, after which they divided
up into groups and, with a professor in
charge of each party, tha various depart-
ments of the institution were hurriedly
vsiited. Then they reconvened in the
chapel, where Gen. Beaver and Prof.
Sparks, of the Prep. Department, talked
to them on industrial training. To use
the words of Dr. Winship, of Boston,
who knows the Boston Institute of
Technology as well as we know State
College, and who visited the latter place
for the first time with the teachers on
Tuesday: “I am surprised at the mag-
nitude of the place. In a comparison of
equipment and general facilities for
doing a great work between our Iosti-
tute and your College the balance of
favor would be decidedly with the lat-
ter.” Sach an opinion carries some-
thing with it and makes us prouder than
ever of the Centre county seat of
learning. !
The director’s meeting was fairly well
attended on Wednesday and certainly
more instructive than it has been for
some time. The institute in general
was better, a better list of instructors
were in attendance and better en-
tertainment, with better attention,
was the result. Though at times the
order was very bad and Mr. Gramley’s
threat to lock the doors having failed to
carry —for the simple reason that he had
no right to do anything of the sort—
people ran in and out as they pleased
regardless of the disturbance they raised
!and the annoyance to speakers.

— The shovel factory, owned by
Charles Metz, at Philipsburg, was total-
ly destroyed by fire ‘Wednesday morn-
ing of last week. The building and con-
tents were estimated to be worth $7,000
on which there is an insurance of $3,000.
The fire was of incendiary origin and it is
not known whether the plant will be re-
built or not.
—The Bellefonte school board has
passed resoluticns commending the
working of the new free text book law.
It is claimed that the attendance is larg-
er and more regular and that more
progress is made by the scholars. The
board claims that many children now.
attend school, because they have books,
who seldom went before and that there
is a marked improvement in scholar-
skip. Deportment is better since the
law requires scholars to take good care
of their hooks.
——A lot of drunken negroes got in-
to a fight in a shanty, just off Pine
street, on Monday afternoon, and chairs,
stovepipes and rocks went flying through
the air in a way calculated to scare the
whole neighborhood. Two new coons
who had just come to town went to call
on a married lady of their acquaintance,
whereupon the trio got gloriously full.
The lord of the mansion came home and
fussed of course. The revelers all piled
on him and now he is carrying his head
in a sling while the two visitors are in
jail.

Tae ARMORY OPENED IN GRAND
StyLE.—Co. B's new armory, of which
the WATCHMAN gave a fall description
in a recent issue, was opened with &
brilliant military reception and ball last
Friday night. The elite of the town
was there to mingle with the military
dignitaries from a distance, who honor-
ed the company with their presence.
The reception lasted from 8 until 9
o'clock and during that time the half
thousand people who filled the vast
dance hall spent the time in an exchange
of pleasantries and in admiration of the
appearance of the place. The decora-
tions were artistic and effective, the pre-
vailing colors being red, white and blue.
From every girder or truss of the great
roof hung bunting in graceful folds and
the stage was a perfect bower of rare
plants the delicate perfumes of which
pervaded the entire hall.
The patronesses stood at the right as
you entered and the guests were pre-
sented, by Sergeant James R. Hughes,
first to Governor Pattison then to Mrs.
D. H. Hastings, Mrs. W. W. Green-
land, Mrs. W. Fred Reynolds, Mrs.
J. L. Spangler, Mrs. Wm. F. Reber
and Mrs. Wilbur F. Reeder and Mrs.
E. W. McCaskey who were the patro-
nesses and with whom the following
gentlemen received. General D. H.
Hastings, Adj. Gen. Walter W. Green-
land, Brigadier General John A. Wiley,
20d Brig., Lt. Colonel W. Fred Rey-
nolds, Governor's staff; Col. Edward
Morrell, 3rd Reg. of Philadelphia; and
Col. Case, 8rd Reg. Philadelphia.
Promptly at 9 o'clock the grand
march was formed and moved down the
centre of the hall. A more distinguish-
ed looking party of people than the ones
who took part in it would be hard to
imagine. Adj. Henry Quigley with
Miss Merry, a daughter of Hon. Joseph
Merry, of Beech Creek, led the march,
though Governor Pattison and Mrs.
Hastings, who followed, had been accorc-
ed that honor. After the figures of the
march had been concluded the dance
began and old and young together
mingled on the door, while the band
kept their movements rhythmical. It
was a pretty sight indeed to watch from
the galleries. Gallant offizers and beauti-
ful women in the joyous whirl of the
dance. The former commanding in
glittering epaulets, the latter radiant
and beaatiful in exquisite gowns.
At midnight refreshments were served |
in the gun room in the basement, where
Cedar’s deft hands had prepared every- |
thing to the taste of the most fastidious.
A detail from the company, looking
airy in white duck trousers, served the
guests in a manner that left no doubt in
the minds of strangers to military life,
that the order and discipline so often
heard of is not mere talk and is an ac-
complishment at such affairs as well as
in soldier life.
The dance continued until 3 o'clock,
when, late as it was, everyone was loath
to leave. The evening had been so de-
lightfully spent and the pleasantest
memories of the affair will be cherished
by all who were there.
It was easily the finest dance ever
given in this part of the State and the
appearance of the place during the grand
march was one long to be remembered.
There were eighty-four couple in the
march, though it included not more
than a third of the dancers who were on
the floor later.
The Second Brigade band of Pitts-
burg, seated on the stage, furnished the
music.
By giving such a ball Co. B. 5th Reg.
N. G. P. has proclaimed itself the lead-
ers in social life of the guard, while
maintaining their high position in ac-
tive duty. Everyone was charmed with
the manuer in which they managed the
affair, and officers and privates alike are
tu be congratulated. Suffice it to say
that we heard many of the distinguished
visitors say that they were never more
brilliantly entertained in their lives.
The list of strangers and other details
of the dance was given in last week's
issue of the WATCHMAN.
DRUNKEN NEGROES Rior ON A
TRAIN.—A party of drunken negroes
boarded an evening passenger train at
Osceolo, on Saturday, to go to Tyrone.
They had been engaged in grading a
railroad near Osceolo, under contractor
M. J. McMenamin. A fight was started
by a white passenger's resenting a blow
from one of the crowd, and car seats
were broken, windows smashed and the
whole train was in an uproar. Conduc-
tor Allison Haupt tried to stop the fight,
but was handled very roughly and when
the train reached Tyrone he had them
until Monday morning, when they were
brought to this place and given a hear-
ing betore justice Linn. He held them
all over for court, so the jail is pretty
well filled with black birds.
Two of the crowd was released, but
before they left town they go so whiskied
soon landed in jail.
Warrants were issued for more of the
being picked up und brought here to
jail.
