——Tt seems to be a settled thing that
when Bellefonte has one fire several
others follow it rapidly. On Monday
John Meese's store was threatened with
destruction by an exploding oil stove
and about 10:30 Wednesday morning
an alarm was given for the South ward.
This time the fire, what there was of it,
was in Gramley’s grocery, just acrossthe
street from the Meese store, and was
caused in exactly the same way. Mabel
Gramley, who keeps books in her fath-
er’s store, accidentally overturned an
oil stove by her dress catching on it,
and straightway some one rung in an
alarm. The whole town became excited,
but there wasn’t any fire for it was put
out before it had a fair chance to start.
— The Pennsylvania State College
glee and mandolin and banjo clubs gave
a delightful concert at Garman’s Tues-
day night. The suddenness of the book”
ing resulted in a very small house, but
those who were there were well pleased
with the entertainment. The work of
the mandolin and banjo clubs was the
feature and their every number called
forth round after round of applause.
«La Czarina’’ mazurka by the the banjo
club was executed possibly best of all
their work and showed much training as
to the expression and technique of the
beautiful composition. The glee’s ren-
dition of “The Mill” seemed to show
their training best and was heartily ap-
plauded. Mr. Gray’s;banjeaurine solo
brought a merited recall and Mr. Pat-
terson’s ‘‘barcarolle’” on the cello wasa
novelty in music that delighted theaud-
ience. The clubs are much stronger
than last year’s and ought to have a suc-
cessful season.
WHERE JEWELRY, WATCHES AND
Crocks caN BE HAD VERY CHEAP.—
The fact that there is going to bea
change at Richard’s jewelry store, in
this place, on April 1st, necessitates the
closing out of the entire stock of jew-
elry, watches, clocks, etc. now on hand.
Everything will be sold for whatever it
will bring and a rare opportunity is
thus given the public to procure some
good silverware and other needed arti-
cles at prices almost your own.
The change in the business, that is
advertised elsewhere in these columns, is
more a change in those who will con-
duct it. Mr. F. C. Richard will retire
and his sons Charles and Edward will
have charge of the store. The latter is
home from Philadelphia to stay and his
long association with the big jewelry
firm of Conovers in that city will
stand him in good stead here.
A Star ArrracTioN.—The appear-
ance of the talented young actor, Mr,
James Young, at Garman’s last Friday
night, attracted a fair audience to see
hjs production of Hamlet. A more de-
lighted people never left the opera house
in this place than were those who were
there to see the young tragedian. From
the time the curtain was rung up until
its last fall, nearly mid-night, the closest
attention was given the workings of the
play. It was Mr. Young's first appear-
ance here and though a mere boy he
has mastered his art so thoroughly that
critics found no hesitancy in comparing
him with Keene. In truth the state-
ment that ‘he is the ideal Hamlet on
the stage to-day’’ needs only to witness
his conception of and perfect fitness for
the character to prove the assertion. Mr.
Young was ably supported by Miss
Rida Johnston, whose difficult role of
“QOphelia’’ was exceptionally well taken.
The rest of his support was much above |
the average.
A Goop MovEMENT oN Foor.—At a
meeting held in the Y. M. C. A. rooms
recently to consider and determine the
formation of a Village Improvement
Society a committee was appointed to
decide on a plan of work. That commit-
tee suggests the following names of ladies
who may be willing to serve as commit-
toes on the several streets on which they
reside.
Logan street, Mrs. Conley, Mrs. Ar-
thur Brown; Willowbank street and
Reynolds Avenue, Mrs. Satterfield, Mrs.
Frank Blair, Mrs. McKee, Mrs. S. H.
Williams ; Thomas street, Mrs. Isaac

work are urged to atterd—both ladies
and gentleman.
AN INJUNCTION GRANTED.—Judge
Love granted a temporary injunction, on
a rule returnable tomorrow, to J. D.
Holter, J. D. Thompson, B. F. Holter
and J. H. Wetzal, on last Saturday, to
restrain J. C. Weaver, D. S. Dunham,
F. S. Dunham, Mrs. C. Dunham and
Solomon Tice from using or appropri-
ating or in any way applying to their
own use and benefit the property or any
part thereof of the Howard publishing
company. This is the Hornet plant and
there seems to be trouble in its nest.
Story oF AUNTIE.—Only a brief
sketch of the plot of “Charley’s Aunt’
is necessary to indicate what unlimited
opportunities there are for fun. Two
young collegians invite their sweet-
hearts to take lunch with them in the
college quarters of one of the students,
relying on the presence of a wealthy
widow, who is expected trom Brazil on a
visit to her nephew, one of the entertain-
ers, to give the affair proper form. But,
unfortunately the widow is unable to
arrive at the time announced, and sends
a telegram notifying her nephew of her
delay. This places the young men in a
predicament. They do not wish to give
up the pleasure of meeting their sweet-
hearts, and know the girls will not re-
main to lunch without a chaperone.
They find a temporary solution of their
difficulties by persuading a college chum
to impersonate the widow and he is in-
troduced as “Charley’s Aunt.” As this
aunt is reputed to be worth several mil-
lions, suitors for her hand come to the
front immediately, and the masquerad-
ing youth finds his position most em-
barrassing. The complications which
ensue are ludicrous in the extreme. The
laughter over the comic situations be-
gins early in the play and the spectators
are kept in a roar throughout the per-
formance. The company to be seen
here is a most excellent one. At Gar-
man’s tomorrow, Saturday, night.
Foster AND His WEATHER FOR
MarcH.—My last bulletin gave fore-
casts of the storm wave to cross the con-
tinent from 23rd to 27th, and the next
will reach the Pacific coast about the
28th, cross the western mountain coun-
try by close of March 1, the great cen-
tral valleys March 2 and 4, and the east-
ern states about the 5th.
This disturbance will be a continu-
ance of the severe storms of February,
and precipitation will be about an aver-
age.
Warm wave will cross the western
mountain country about February 28th,
the great central valieys about March 2
and the eastern states about March 4.
Cool wave will cross the western moun-
tain country about” March 3, the great
central valleys about the 5th and the
eastern states about the 7th.
Indications are that the temperature
of March will average below the normal
east of the Alleghenies and north of
Richmond, Va.; above normal in the
Atlantic states south of Richmond ;
below in the Ohio valley and upper and
lower lakes ; below normal in the Mis-
souri and upper Mississippi valleys ; be-
low in the Red River country ; above in
the lower Mississippi valley, and east
gulf ; below average in the arid districts
east of the Rockies ; below average in
the north Pacific slope and above on the
south Pacific slope.
March rainfall will be well distributed
and about normal throughout the coun-
try, except a probable excess on the
middle Atlantic coast.
OUR SUMMARY OF THE WEEK IN
TRADE.—Dun’s Review gives the follow-
[ing as to the business outlook :
The surprising success of the new
loan, and the great confidence it has
given to investors on both sides of the
water, and to business men .here, encour-
age many to hope that it may be the be-
ginning of a real recovery. In twenty-
two minutes here subscriptions are sup-
posed to have been at least five times
the amount of bonds offered, and in
two hours, at London, they were
twenty times the amount there offered.
Considering the power which control of
these bonds gives to regulate foreign ex-
changes, and to prevent exports of gold,
the transaction has indeed greatly
changed the financial situation, in spite
of the fact that government revenues
are still deficient, and that domestic
trade shows scarcely any gain as yet.
The industries are not enlarging pro-
duction, nor have prices of farm pro-
ducts improved. But a very important
source of apprehension and hindrance
has, for the time atleast, been removed.
The exports of domestic products
from New York are smaller for the
week, and since January about $1,600,-
000 smaller than last year, while the
imports here have been $3,200,000 lar-
ger. The government customs receipts
for the month thus far have been only
$9,431,108, and internal revenue $6,286,-
905, the total receipts being $5,278,347
less than expenditures. The failures
for the first half of February show lia-
bilities of $5,650,986 against $8,684,072
last year; of manufacturing concerns
$1,692,319 against $3,749,745 last year,
and of trading concerns $8,353,019
against $4,708,749 last year. The fail
ures for this week have been 802 in the
United States against 288 last year, and
in Canada 36 against 51 last year.
Pine Grove Mention
Mr. and Mrs. Michael Hess have both been
laid by for repairs from an attack of LaGrippe.
Mrs. P, F. Bottorf is improving rapidly from
a severe attack of bronchial trouble, from
which she has recovered sufficiently to be
about the house.
Mrs. Rebecca Danley, widow of Geo. D.
Danley, who lives on Main St. is {ll with
heart trouble which has confined her to
her room some months.
Mr. Wm. H. Hammer is arranging his busi
ness with a view to moving to Virginia in
April. We trust the move will be a good one
and that the ducats will roll in rapidly.
Mr. H. H. Goss, who will succeed P. F. Bot-
torf in the agricultural line, about April 1st, is
consoling himself as being blessed with a crop
of Job's comforters that causes him to make
way faces.
Mrs. Laura Brett, widow of the late
Robt. Brett, will offer at public sale,
March 16th, all of her splendid household
goods with a view to moying to Kansas, imme-
diately after the sale.
Mrs. Sarah Garner, wife of William Garner,
is better. She is at the home of her son-in-law,
Chas. Wright, where she was taken ill some
weeks ago with a slight attack of paralysis.
In a few days it is thought she will be able to
be moved home.
Mr. Andrew Kustaborder who took Horace
Greeley’s advice sixteen years ago and went
west, returned here with his family last week,
from his conversation we have inferred that
he prefers the Keystone to the Sunflower
State to wear out an existence in.
Mrs. H. M. Meek, of the Mountain city, is
visiting her parents on Main St. she is still a
high spirited, pretty plump woman, bright
and fresh as when she was a belle
during her girlhood days in our town. With
atwinkle in her eye she says she is still
young yet.
—Mr. Amos Tyson is in receipt of a charity
message from the poverty stricken section of
Nebraska where a large number of Centre
countians are suffering from the severe c:ld
and famine indeed many are starving. An
« ffort is being made and has succeeded quite
well, to raise a charity fund to be forwarded to
them for distribution.
Mr. Henry Lutz, one of the Sucker State's
great big farmers, is enjoying the winter
breezes in old Centre, after being absent sev-
en years. He is able to point out many chang-
es. All these years he has been “batching it”
tilling his broad acres near Decatur. Some of
our marriageable ladies would not object to
keeping hou te for an indefinite time Henry.
Any of them can take the wind out of your
sails quick.
Our sprightly merchant, John G. Hess, is
handling the yard stick dexterously this
week as a clerk behind the counter. Having
dispensed with his entire stock of merchan
dise to N. B. and W. T. Krebs, under the
firm name of Krebs & Bro. The new proprie-
tors will take chaise in the spring, as soon as
they return from the city with a new stock of
hardware and groceries, when they will be
able to supply the public at prices becoming
the times.
Books, Magazines Etc.
If modern Jerusalem were not the holy city
of Jews and Christians, and second only to
Mecca in the estimation of Mohammedans, it
would still be intensely interesting for its his-
toric associations. In the March Harper's
Laurence Hutton describes “The Literary
Landmarks of Jerusalem” from the standpoint
of a secular traveller who has been deeply im-
pressed by the scenes of the world’s greatest
religious story. The article is beautifully and
amply illustrated by F. V. Du Mond from
drawings made on the spot. This number is,
as usual, strong in fiction. 1t contains the
last chapters of Richard Harding Davis's “The
Princess Aline,” the fourth instalment of
Thomas Hardy's “Hearts Insurgent,” and four
short stories : “A Californian,” a San Francis®
co love story, by Geraldine Bonner; “The
Second Missouri Compromise,” a humorous
Spisage in Idaho history, by Owen Wister;
“Fame’s Little Day,” being the adventures of
an aged Vermont couple in the metropolis, by
Sarah Orne Jewett “An Everyday Affair,” a
Teslieni sketch of Copenhagen life, by Olga
nch.
The Forum for March, which by the way be-
gins volume 19, will contain four articles par-
ticularly timely—*The Business World vs. the
Politicians,” by the Hon. J. H. Eckels, Comp-
troller of the Currency; “Our Blundering
Foreign Policy,” by Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge ; “The Constitutionality and Justice of
the Income-Tax,” by Professor E. R. A. Selig:
man, of Columbia College; and ‘The Anti
toxine Treatmentof Diphtheria,” by Dr. L.
Emmett Holt, one of the best living authori-
ties on children’s diseases.
