It does not become Germany to get
on her ear about the American tariff.
It is but little short of impertinence,
for her to be angry about the fiscal
regulations of another country, for it
has been her custom to regulate her
tariffs without regard to the interests
of her neighbors. No European gov-
ernment has been more disposed #o
adopt a “protective” policy, and if the
United States sees fit to be equally il-
liberal she at least has no right to
complain.
The new American tariff is far less
restrictive than the old one, the duties
on many articles of importation being
considerably reduced. The German
authorities should recognize this fact
and be thankful for it. Even the
duty on manufactured sugar—the dif:
ferential duty as it is called—which is
the particular subject of their com-
plaint, is much less than it was, and it
is because the American government
chooses to retain a duty which inter-
feres with the importation of German
beet sugar, the Germans propose to
exclude American products from their
markets. If there was special dis-
crimination against them they would
have reason to complain, but as all
imported sugar is treated alike by the
Ameriean tariff, the complaint of the
Germans is more than unreasonable ;
it borders closely on impudence. At
best tariff restriction is a poor policy,
its effect being rather to injure than to
promote commercial interests, but
Germany should be the last to com-
plain about it when practiced by other
countries.
“Thomas F. Riley.
The retirement of associate Judge
TroMmas F. RiLey, of Harris township,
which was formally made last Monday
morning. when his successor BENgastIN
RicH, of Unionville, took the oath of
office was an occasion of more than
passing moment to the people of Centre
county.
which was characterized by the greatest
fidelity to the responsibility imposed
upon him as one of the judges of our
county, he has retired to the private
vocation from whieh the people called
him in 1889.
His failure of re-election last Fall
was far from being caused by any
short comings on his part. Like many
another good man he went down before
the Republican tidal wave that swept
the country and no stigma attaches
itself from such a defeat. = Ex-judge
RiLEY held the esteem of the people of
the county and the dignity with which
he conducted himself at all times is a
matter of pride to the Democratic par-
ty that urged his election.
——The baths that have been fitted
up in the lavatory department of the
remodeled capitol at Harrisburg are
spoken of as perfect ideals of marble
splendor. No expense has been spared
in material and ornamentation, result-
ing in the perfection of oriental luxu-
riousness. The tax-payers may ques-
tion the necessity for this expendi-
ture of the public money, but they
should know that as the Legislature
becomes more Republican the more
occasion there is for having it washed.
But it is doubtful if even with all
these expensive bathing appliances it
can be kept clean,
——The result of electing the right
man to office is seen in the condition
in which collector Hugh S. Taylor, of
Bellefonte, has his tax duplicate for
1894, He will have cleared every-
thing up by February first and has
already returned $33,000 on his dupli-
cate of $48,000. The exonerations he
will ask council to make will be very
small indeed, and the fact that his
work will be completed by February
first just, six months after the receipt
of the duplicate, is evidence that will
make the tax payers of Bellefonte real-
ize that they have chosen a good man
for the place.
——1It is beginning to look as
if the 49th judicial district is in a pre-
dicament as to a judge to preside over
the orphan’s court and the court of oyer
and terminer. The election last fall
proclaimed only to elect a judge of the
court of common pleas and as such
Hon. JomN G. Love took oath on
Monday, but there being no provision
for the other vacancies it is not known
exactly what can be done.
—Investigations encourage the con-
clusion that the Turks have made away
with 22,000 Armenians during the last
nine years. At such a rate over popu-
lated countries might look up the Sul-
tan’s receipt for getting ri of an over
stock of people.
After = service of five years,
Phey Began to Expect it In Their In-
fancy.
It will doubtless seem untimely for
«a discussion of the tariff to begin at
this time so remote from the national
{campaign that will be opened in 1896,
| but
EprTor'
a circular we received the
other day suggested the matter to us
lin a such a convincing way thst we
cannot resist the temptation to bring
it before our readers at least.
The Republicans, in their glee over
the victory of last fall, claim that the
Democratic party is dead, which we of
course’ deny admitting, however, that
the situation is not exactly as we
would like to have it. Whatever our
condition may be we are cognizant of
the fact that when the next presidential
campaign opens the Republicans will
take up the cry of protection to Ameri-
can industries again. Notwithstand-
ing it proved their shibboleth in 1892
they are so firmly achored to McKex-
LEYIsM that it would be foolish to ex-
pect anything else from them next
year.
These same fellows who have been
crying for protection for years will be
atit again. It isthe personal greas
ing they are after and not the common
good. No class of manufacturers has
been better cared for by the govern-
ment than the iron men, though this
is not surprising when it is known how
early they organized for protection.
We have before us an old circular
bearing date of Feb. 14th, 1842, in
which the iron manufacturers of Penn-
sylvania set forth their claims to a
liberal greasing. It was sent
to us by Mr. E. I. GiLuiLaNxp of
Pottersdale and we append it as a his-
torical relic which will encourage tar-
iff discussion
Circular.
Harrisburg, February 14, 1842.
The undersigned, believing that you fcel an
interest in procuring an augmentation of du-
ties upon foreign coal and iron, at the present
session of Congress, earnestly ask your at-
tendance at the Coal and Irom Convention
which will be holden at Harrisburg on the 22d
of February instant.
The subject of a revision of the Tariff will
soon be urged in Congress, and at such a time
it is important that the interests of coal and
iron should be properly represented.
We are persuaded that a free interchange of
opinion among the friends of protecting
American labor—a collection of facts—concert
of action—and above all, united and vigorous
effort, is necessary to prevent the two great
staples of Pennsylvania from being prostrated
by a reduction of duties, upon all foreign arti-
cles to 20 per cent, ad. valorem on the first day
of June next.
You are respectfully requesied to bring or
transmit such facts as you are able to collect
in reference to Coal and Iron in your vicinity.
Such as the number of furnaces, forges,
{| bloomeries, rolling mills and coal mines: the
number of tons of iron made in each furnace
and forge, and the quantity of coal ‘mined in
the collieries : the number of men employed :
the pumber of horses : the number of bushels
of wheat and other grain consumed at the
{ron-works and Mines: the value of agricu}-
tural produce, of all kinds, and also of mer-
<chandise purchased.
Yours very respectfully.

Ten Bodies Uncovered.
Workmen Continue Excavation Work Yesterday
at the Scene of Delavan Ruins.
Avrsaxy, N.Y., Jan. 8.—Workmen
to day continued excavation work at
the scene of the Delavan hotel ruins.
So far ten bodies, or rather what re:
mained of them, have been uncovered.
Two were removed from the ruins yes-
terday and five to-day. The three
other bodies uncovered could not be
removed to-day before darkness on
account of the pile of debris which
covered them. The three last bodies
found were more intact than those al.
ready uncovered. All of the bodies
were unearthed in the cellar directly
under the aitic, where the victims of
the fire are supposed to have quarter-
ed. Three of the bodies were near
mattresses when found, showing that
the persons were asleep when they met
death.
The only remains with which recog-
nition was attempted was inthe case
of those of a woman. It was claimed
to be the body of either Agnes Wilson
or Miss Ray Young, both of Buffalo.
An inquiry into the cause of the'fire
was commenced to-night by the board
of fire commissioners.
Defeat Probable.
A Poor Chance for the Carlisle Bill Passing the
House.
WasHINGTON, Jan, 8.—There was a
good deal of quiet but earnest work to-
ay on the part of the opponents of
the Carlisle banking bill, with a view
to encompassing its defeat when an
opportunity offers. This opportunity
may be presented to-morrow, when the
committee on rules will report an or-
der fixing debate under the five min-
utes rule until Friday on which day
a vote will be taken. When this reso-
lution is reported it is the intention of
the opposition to antagonize it and
move to strike out the enacting clause
of the Carlisle bill,
It is feared by the friends of the
measure that this motion will carry
and that the bill will thus be lost with-
out further delay. lt is asserted by
those who have canvassed the situa-
tion thoroughly that the bill will be
defeated by a major'ty ranging trom
25 to 40.
Democrats Not Discouraged.
Defeat Cannot Dampen the Enthusiasm of the
Unterrified. Great Jackson Day Banquet.
Given by the Yonng Men's Democratic Associa-
tion at Philadelphia Last Night. Congress
man William I. Wilson, of West Virginia, and
Benton McMillin, of Tennessee, Were in At
tendance— William F. Harrity Called the Din-
ner to Order.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 8.—With the
shadow of a great party defeat over-
hanging them the members of the
Young Men’s Democratic association
held their fifteenth annual banquet at
St. George’s hall to night in honor of
Jackson and his victory over the British
at New Orleans during the war of 1812.
Although defeat at the poll had been
the party’s fate there was no evidence
of discouragement or despair shown by
the members of the association and
their guests in the speeches when coffee
had been reached on the menu.
On the contrary, as if to show their
faith in their party’s principles, the
members turned out in force and the
dinner was the largest and most success-
ful ever held by the association. Every
Democratic politician of any note in the
city was present and the party leaders
from nearly every county in the State
traveled to Philadelphia to testify by
their presence that they were as loyal in
defeat as in victory. Vice President
Stevenson was to have been present and
respond to a toast, but owing to the seri-
ous illness of his daughter he could not
attend. Letters of regret were also re-
ceived from President Cleveland, all the
members of his cabinet and ex-Gover-
nor Russell, of Massachusetts.
Though deprived of the presence of the
vice president, several of the party’s na-
tional leaders were present, and when
William #. Harrity, national chairman,
called the dinner to order and sat down
with Congressman William L. Wilson,
of West Virginia, on his left, and Con-
gressman Benton McMillin, of Tennes-
see, upon his right, the two representa-
tives were loudly cheered. Besides the
two representatives, there were present
United States Senator White, of Califor-
nia; Assistant Secretary of War Doe,
United States Treasurer W. E.
Morgan, assistant to Director of the
Mint Preston, and Congressman Isadore
Strauss, of New York. .
The first toast of the evening was
“The Memory of Jackson,” drank
standing. The other toasts were:
“Moderate and Just Taxation Is the
Best Achievement of Legislative Ac-
tion,” Representative Wilson, of West
Virginia; “Economy and Fidelity to
Public Interests in Administration
Should Be a Paramount Obligation of
the Party,” Representative Benton K.
McMillin, of Tennessee; “As Party Or-
ganization Is the Controlling Force in
National Legislation, the Preservation
of Great Parties, Thoroughly Organized,
1s the Best Security for National Liber-
ty,”” Senator White, of California.
Addresses were also made by Deputy
Attorney General James A. Stranahan
and Dwight M. Lowrey.
A Cure for All Ills.
Pennsylvania Legislators Swamp the Tables
With Numerous Bills.—Greatest Number on
Record. —At No Other Session Were There So
Many Measures Introduced in the House and
Senate in One Day.— Their Name is Legion.—
Blair County Committees.
HARRISBURG, January 9.—The Penn-
sylvania Legislature has beaten its
previous records. Bills were intro-
duced to-day by the different members
in such numbers as to make the cotton
bales at the battle of New Orleans pale
into insignificance. Blair county was
fortunate in being out of the grand
rash. There were bills for every con-
ceivable ill with which the taxpayer
and the non-taxpayer is afflicted. In
th: house sixty-four measures were in-
troduced and 1n the senate twenty-two
and the flood had only begun when
the motion to adjourn was made.
These bills are presumed to cure every
imaginable ill as bas been stated, and
include many which were introduced
in the behalf of institutions now being
conducted for the treatment of sickness
and also where persous injured may be
treated. The measures were all ap
propriately referred.
Penrose Beaten.
Charles Warwick Nominated for Mayor of Phila-
delphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9.—City Solic-
itor Charles F. Warwick was this
morning nominated for mayor of
Philadelphia by the Republican
mayorality convention. The delegates
were usually uproarious and the fol-
lowers of State Senator Boise Penrose,
who, at almost the last moment, was
given the go by by the party leaders,
stuck to him to the end. So pro-
nounced were the Penrose people, who
comprised about one-third of the dele-
gates, that they refused to make the
nomination of Mr. Warwick unani-
mous. The vote was, Warwick 684,
Penrose 233.
In addition to the maycrality con-
vention, twelve Republican candidates
for police magistrates were nominated
by a convention held in Industrial hall
and Republican councilmanic nowmi-
nees were chosen in each of the thirty-
seven wards.
No Cases of Starvation.
WILKESBARRE, Pa. Jan. 8.—The
starvation story sent out from here to
t he effect that there is unusual distress
and that miners are starving in not true,
There are always cases of poverty in
this region, as well as in other places,
but the charitable organizations are well
able to care for them. The miners have
been working with accustomed regular-
ity and there is now no more poverty
than there has been for years in the past.
There are no cases of starvation.
An Escaped Murderer Captured.
HARRISBURG, January T.—Johun Eis-
minger, the murderer who escaped
from the jail at Greensburg, has been
captured at New Orleans and at the
request of District Attorney Ross the
governor this afternoon telegraphed
the governor of Louisiana requesting
him to waive the usual formality of a
requisition,
Slain by Thousands,
Twenty two Thousand Armenians Destroyed
Within Nineteen Years.
BostoN, Mass, Jan. 8.—In refer-
ence to the statement officially issued
by the Turkish Leg:tion at Washing-
ton that the total namber of Armenian
subjects of Turkey was but 900,000 M.
H. Cuelsian, Secretary of the United
Friends of Armeuoia, of this city, has
compiled statistics relating to Arme-
pia from reports presented to the Ber-
lin Congress in 1876.
He states that according to the re-
ports to the congress the total number
of Armenians in Turkey was 3,000,000,
distributed as follows: In Turkish
Major Armenia, 1,330,000; in Arme-
via Mioor, 670,000 ; in Asia Minor,
600,000 ; in Constantinople and Balkan
peninsula, 400,000. In the District of
the Vilayet of Diarbekir, where the
magsacres were perpetrated, there were
180.000 Armenians, 160,000 Turks
and 40.000 Kurds. The Russian Al-
manac for 1887 estimates that there
are 1,807,007 Armenians in Russia,
200,000 in Persia and 137,000 in Aus-
tro Hungary, India. China, America,
and Africa, a total number of 5,599,907
in the world.
Mr. Guelsian asserts that if the
statement of the Turkish Legation is
correct, 2,100,000 Armenians have dis-
appeared since 1876. He claims that
the legation report is not correct and
this deduction is not tenable. He
states, however, that it is estimated by
good authority that since 1876, 22,000
Armenians have been destroyed by
Turks and Kurds.
The Currency Bill
WASHINGTON, January 9.—Mr.
Dingley, of Maine, briefly explained
the attitude of the Republicans toward
the resolution regarding the further
consideration of the currency bill after
the vote had been taken. “We sim-
ply wanted an opportunity to vote up-
on the question of rehabilitating state
banks. We asked that that be as-
sured to us; it was refused and we
turned in and killed the resolution. If
that bad been assented to, we were
willing to take the order and go ahead
with the bill.”
“Does that not practically dispose of
the bill 2”
“Mr. Springer can call it up at any
time" said Mr. Dingley, “and go ahead
with it, if he deems it wise. But the
probabilities are that the majority
against the bill is greater than that
disclosed against the rule.”
They Went to Jail.
CHICAGO, January 8—Eugene V.
Debs and other officers and directors
of the American Railway union, went
to the Cook county jail to-day to be-
gin serving the sentences recently im-
posed on them for contempt of court.
There was no formal procedure. Dur-
ing the day the men dropped in one
by one and surrendered themselves to
the marshal.
The appeal to the supreme court
will be presented the latter part of this
week, being now in course of prepara-
tion. The chances are the prison-
ers will be obliged to remain in jail
for at least two weeks before the court
can be heard from. Unless the decis-
ion at that time is favorable they will
have to serve out their terms.
and Their Onward
March.
The Japanese
LonpoN, January 8.—A dispatch to
the Central News from Shanghai says
that reports have been received from
New Chwang stating that during the
assault of the Japanese upon Soumen
Chang the town wae set on fire and
destroyed, rendering 10,000 people
homeless, in a temperature of forty
degrees below the freezing point. The
Japanese are cutting off the retreat of
the 15,000 Chinese soldiers com-
manded by General Sung, and the Tao-
tai of New Chwang, fearing desertions,
has ordered that all soldiers who at-
tempt torun away shall immediately
be shot.
Left the Executive Mansion.
HARRISBURG, January 9.—Mrs. Pat-
tison took final leave of the executive
mansion to-day to take up her residence
at Overbrook in the new home which
has just been completed for the retiring
Governor. Owing to a severe attack of
rheumatism she was compelled to leave
the city at this time. She was accom-
panied by her sister, Mrs. Butler of
Philadelphia ; Master Robert, her only
son, and her maid.
Coxey Turned Down.
WASHINGTON, January 8.—After
the hearing betore the house ways and
means committee to-day in support of
his good roads and non-interest bear-
ing bonds bills to-day, General J. S.
Coxey called upon Senator Voorhees.
chairman of the senate finance com-
mittee, to request a hearing on the
game proposition, but was told the
committee could not go into the mat-
ter.
‘The Cabinet Dinner.
WASHINGTON, January 8,—The first
of a series of cabinet dinners to the
president and Mrs. Cleveland was giv-
en at the Arlington hotel to-night by
Secretary Gresham, at which all the
wives of the cabinet ministers were
present with the exception of Mrs.
Smith.
To Inaugurate Hastings.
HARRISBURG, January 8.— About
twenty clubs have already eecured
quarters for the inaugural parade and
arrangements are going forward for
the demoustration.
Miss Stevenson's Condition.
AsmeviLLe, N. C. Jan. 3.—Miss
Stevenson’s condition remains about the
same as it was yesterday.
Carlisle is Sorry. .
WASHINGTON, January 9.—The sec-
retary of the treasury was at the capitol
this afternoon. He expressed his regret
at the action of the house to-day, but
does not despair of some financial legis-
lation still passing the house. He sug-
gested that it would be better not to
move in the matter again for a few days,
but that the intervening time be occu-
pied by the friends of the bill in consul-
tation with the silver men and other
Democrats who opposed it to-day with a
view to agreeing to some comprises
which will meet or partially meet their
objections. Mr. Springer, of Illinois,
said that there was no probability of an-
other caucus being held to consider the
financial question. All has been done
and the best that Le can hope for now
is, to quote his own words, ‘to grope
about in the darkness for a ray of
light.”
Bishop McGovern Will Act.
HARRISBURG, Pa., January 9.—Bish- ,
op McGovern of the Harrisburg dio-
cese of the Catholic church, will issue a
circular shortly forbidding all Catholics ;
to join the societies of Odd Fellows,
Knights of Pythias or Sons of .Temper-
ance, and admonishing those who now
belong to withdraw.
ADDITIONAL LOCALS.
——The Millheim band gave an en-
tertainment at Loganton, on Saturday
night, and report having had a fine time
as well as realizing $30.
——A sled load of Bellefonte young
people went down to Howard one night
last week and had an enjoyable time at
the Syracuse house. The story that the
management of that hotel did not treat
the party cordially is untrue as all speak
in the highest terms of Mr. and Mrs.
DaHaas.
——A bogus drummer, who is known
as Frank Adams, bas been fleecing
hotel keepers in Altoona, Philipsburg,
Clearfield, DuBoise and other towns.
He gets the landlord to cash a check for
him which is later returned protested.
His game is to open a letter in the hotel
office and take therefrom a check which
he shows to the proprietor as having
been sent on his expense account. The
unsuspecting hotel man cashes it and is
stuck of course.
——G. W. Shafer, a son of Mr.
George Shafer of Madisonburg, this
county, was killed at Joplin, Mo. last
Saturday. The unfortunate man had
gone to the railroad station with a load
of grain and was just driving off the
scales when his horses took fright ard
ran away. The heavy wagon upset
and Mr. Shafter was thown under it, be-
ing so frighttully crushed that he died
two hours after the accident occurred.
A wife and family survive him.
——The announcement that Mr.
Wilbur F. Harris, of this place is to be
executive clerk to Governor Hastings
has been made and he is receiving the
congratulations of his friends here who
are delighted to know that he has fallen
into an $1800 per annum berth. Miss
Jennie Fauble is to be the Governor's
stenographer; W. I. Fleming is to
have a desk in the Insurance Commis-
sioner’s office and there the Bellefonte
share of the incoming administration is
toend. It has been reported that W.
F. Reber will continue in his present
office during this session of the Legisla-
ture.
— The many friends of Mr. T. A.
Lucas, who is well known in Centre
county, will be grieved to learn of the
serious accident which befell him a few
days ago in Greenfield, Mass. where he
and his wife were on a visit to the home
of the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.
Dolan Clark. While walking down
town with Mr. Clark Mr. Lucas slipped
on the inclined icy pavement and fell,
striking on the back of his head. He was
rendered unconscious for nearly twenty
four hours, but we are pleased to
learn that under the careful treatment
of the physicians he is convalescing.
——The Dr. George L. Potter post,
No. 261, of Milesburg, held public in-
stallation ceremonies in their hall in
that place last Saturday night and a
large crowd of people enjoyed the enter-
tainment with the old soldiers. Speeches
were made by out going officers and
their successors, a literary entertainment
enlivened the camp fire and altogether
a good old time was had. The new of-
ficers are : Commander, P. H. Haupt;
S. V. Commander, W. H. Shultz; J.
V. Commander, James Kreps; Adju-
tant, A. G. Rager; Chaplain, Thos.
Wilson; O. D., J. G. McKinley; O.
G., Thomas Watson ; Surgeon, Wm.
Haverack.
——1In last week’s Harper's Weekly
a mot interesting and well illustrated
description of J. H. Myer’s ballot-ma-
chine was published under the title ot
“Voting by Machinery.” More than a
page is devoted to it and the writer
thinks “No one but a man whose pur-
suit had been the planning of burglar-
proof safes for bank vaults and the ex-
act situation for them could have de-
vised the invention.” In the districts in
New York, Michigan and New Jersey
in which it is in use, it has given per-
fect satisfuction and we congratulate
Mr, Myers, who is personally known to
all the older people in the town, on his
success and thank him for putting an
honest accurate method of voting Witkw)
in the reach of the American people.
——The bad weather last Sunday
caused the postponement of the laying
of the corner stone of the new Evangeli-
cal church building at Woodward.

Tee SUPREME CoUuRT REVERSED IT.
—The borough of Philipsburg is $1800
richer as the result of a ruling by the
supreme court in Philadelphia, on Mon-
day. For a second timeit roversed the
lower court of this county and has fi-
nally decided that the borough of Phil-
ipsburg need not pay Mrs. Lohr the
$1800 awarded her here as damages for
injuries sustained by a fall through a
defective boardwalk in that place. This
ruling settles the case.
A FAREWELL RECEPTION TO GENER-
AL HASTINGS AND FAMILY.—This Fri-

given General and Mrs. D. H. Hastings
in the armory in this place. It will be
in the nature of a public leave taking of
the Hastings family and the residents of
Bellefonte and will last from 8:30 until
10.30. The reception will be very in-
formal, though the armory will be
decorated by Baldwin and an orchestra
will furnish music. Several short
speeches will be made, to which General
Hastings will respond.
It is hoped and earnestly solicited
that every one who can will be present.
General Hastings is no longer a party
candidate, but Governor-elect of our
State and, with his family, merits the
God-speed of our people.

will leave Bellefonte Saturday morning
for Harrisburg, where they will be the
guests of Mrs. Richard Halderman,
a daughter of the late Simon Cameron
who lives at the old Cameron home,

executive mansion. Miss Bella Rankin,
Mrs. Hastings’ sister, will go to Harris-
burg on Monday, but baby Sara will be
left here for several weeks,until after the
excitement of the inauguration has sub-
sided.
CHARLES K.- MCCAFFERTY MAR-
RIED. —The following, which we clipped
from last Sunday’s Elmira, N. Y. Tele-
gram, will inform the many Bellefonte
friends of Mr. Charles K. McCafferty
of a happy event in his life that trans-
pired on New Year’s day.
HoRNELLSVILLE, N. Y., Jan. 5.—A
quiet wedding occurred at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. William H. Boyce, No.
23, Taylor street, at 5 o’clock Tuesday
evening, January 1. 1895. Their third
daughter, Cassie Margaret, was united
in marriage to Charles K. McCafferty,
of Bradtord, Pa., Rev. W. G. Gates, of
the First Baptist church officiating. The
bride is well and favorably known to
many Hornellsville people and the
groom is a prominent business man of
Bradford, Pa., being associated with the
First National bank of that place. Af-
ter a brief western trip Mr. and Mrs.
McCafferty will return to Bradford,
occupying rooms on Mechanic street
until their new home is completed.
It will be a pleasure to his friends
here to know that he has won the affec-
tion of a most estimable young woman
and we, who knew him when he was a
boy, are sure that he merits all the hap-
piness that a propitious marriage insures.
Tar ORDER OF HEPTASOPHS BAN-
QUET.— Last Friday night the Brocker-
hoff house dining rooms were the scene
of another fete of unusual brilliancy.
Bellefonte conclave 111 Improved Or-
der of Heptasophs with their ladies and
friends were banqueting there and from
9 o’cleck until 2 a. m. they made merry
over the board.
Covers were laid for fifty and every
place was filled when Rev. J. A. Wood-
cock invoked the Divine blessing on all
assembled. J. S. McCargar was toast
master and, after the various courses of
the elaborate menu had been served,
called for responses to the toasts he pro-
posed. Among the number responding
were Dr. H. K. Hoy, District Chief
Johnson and Past Chief Tillard, of Al-
toona ; Congressman Atkinson, Hon.
James Schofield, Rev. J. A. Woodcock,
A. A. Dale, Esq., E. R. Chambers,
Esq., Editor T. H. Harter, F. E. Nagi-
ney, J. I. McClure and others.
The Heptasophs are a secret order and
don’t make much show except on
an occasion like last Friday night when
they make up their minds to entertain
their friends. This they do royally as
has been demonstrated and the many
who enjoyed their hospitality at the
banquet are delighted with the social
side the order.
