TWENTY-SIX YEARS OrLp.— The
Young Men’s ChristianAssociation of
Bellefonte celebrated its 26th anniver-
sary by a joint meeting in the Methodist
and Presbyterian churches, in this place,
last Sunday evening.
In the Methodist church the services
were under the direction of J. Wesley
Gephart Esq. president of the association;
while Judge James A. Beaver, ex-pres-
ident, presided in the Presbyterian
church. Among the speakers were Rev.
R. L. Gearhart, of the Reformed church
of this place; Rev. Dr. Wm. Laurie,
of the Presbyterian church, Rev. J. W.
Rue, of the Methodist church, Hugh
McA. Beaver, state secretary of college
Associations and others. The young
secretary’s plea for an open association
building in Bellefonte, a plea for a
home for our boys, was truly a most
earnest one. Few of the people of this
pla® had had an opportunity of hear-
ing Hugh talk, since his entering into
his new work, up to that time and many
were surprised at the sincerity and force
that characterized his remarks.
General Secretary Cota’s annual re:
port was perhaps the most interesting
part of the program, since it disclosesd
some startling facts for his auditors.
Not many of our people have an idea of
the nature of the work done at the home
of the Association on Allegheny street
and to give you a slight idea of its na-
ture we publish a few extracts from his
report.
“The report showed that 25,000 vis-
itors had been {o the rooms on all
occasions during the year, which made
an average of 70 per day. The attend-
ance at all religious meetings was 4125.
The number of meetings held out of town
was seven, with a total attendance of
2200. Four professicns of conversion were
secured during the meetings of the year.
There are at the present time 52 publi-
cations daily, weekly and monthly, and
1500 books in the library and the reading
rooms. Five lectures were held, with
an attendance of 1260. The report of
the treasurer showed that $1073 had been
spent in Y. M. C. A. work. This en-
tire amount was given by 140 persons.’’
Of the amount expended to conduct
the work it should be known that Mr.
Cota has drawn only a little over $400 as
his salary and it is really a shame and a
disgrace to the people of our town that
such a man as he is should be allowed
to remain unpaid and really in want.
No one dare question the work that is
done by the Association. It answers
for itself and an occasional visit to the
building will convince the most skeptical
as to its beneficial results. «
Aren't you ashamed that out of
Bellefonte’s business population of 6000,
or more, there were only 140 persons
who contributed to the Y. M. C. A. last
year ? Think ofit. Four young men
were converted to God in those rooms
and yet only $1073 were expended to
maintain them. Had this been the only
work accomplished the amount would
appear infinitesimal in comparison, but
remember that 365 days in the year
those doors have been invitingly open
tor every one. Think of the temptation
those cosy, warm rooms have removed
from the paths of — well, possibly
your own boy. .
The year just closed was far more
fruitful than the one before it and prom-
ise is given of still better results dur-
ing the coming year. Among the es-
pecially commendable features will be
the night schools at which penmanship,
book-keeping and short hand will be
taught free of charge. This will give
an opportunity for young men who
work during the day to get a business
education.
Can Bellefonte afford to be so nig-
gardly? The Y. M. C. A. will need at
least $2000 for the current year and it
ought to have it.
The annual meeting of the association
to elect officers for the year was held
last Friday evening and resulted in the
following : President, J. W. Gephart;
vice president, Geo. R. Meek ; secretary,
J. P. Smith ; treasurer, C. F. Cook;
executive committee, Dr. R: G. H.
Hayes, J. R. Hughes, W. H. Musser,
C. Dale, B. C. Achenbach, L. C. Wet-
zel, N. S. Bailey, and W. S. Zeller.
The new board of officers will take
tea with president J. W. Gephart at his
home, on Curtin street, this evening.
TRYING To SAVE THE TRoUT.—The
continual dry weather has had the effect
of making all the streams in the county
very low and some of them are about
dry. This is the case with Fishing
creek in Sugar valley near its head.
There is now only water in the deep
holes, and the residents of the valley
have placed the trout in thece deep
‘places in order to keep them alive.
Fishing creek was fully as low five
years ago as it is now, and the trout
were cared for at that time in a similar
manner. —Lock Haven Express.
——Mr. D. B. Malone, of Boggs
township, and Mrs. Mary E. Negli, of
Beech Creek, were married at the Meth-
odist parsonage in this place, on Tues-
day afternoon, by Rev. J. W. Rue. As
the groom is about 60 years old he will
resign his farm to his sons and reside ag
Beech Creek.
——Henry Linn, a son of John B.
Linn, of this place, went horse back rid-
ing last Friday evening, up the moun-
tain back of Coleville. When near the
old Purdue farm, on top of the moun-
tain, he was riding along an unused
wood chopper’s road where the oyer-
hanging limbs brushed his cap bff.
Henry dismounted to get it but unfort-
unately the horse that he trusted betray-
ed him and the moment he stooped to
pick up hiscap it dashed away up the
mountain.: As it was getting dark and
he had often heard of how the bears
roam about up there at night fall he
made a desperate effort to catch the
horse, but with no further “result than
grabbing a hair out of his tail. After
failing in this he made tracks for Belle-
fonts and covered the five miles in
something less than an hour. Next
day he returned to find that Mr. Koch
and his son had caught the horse only
a short distance from where he had giv-
en up the chase. He is aregular lion at
8 leap-year ball, but in the woods, after
dark, things are different, you know.
——Wahile playing about the school
heuse, in Milesburg, Tuesday afternoon,
a little ward of Mrs. Joseph Swyers fell
and cut a terrible gash in her forehead,
Books, Magazines Etc.
—Among the popular illustrated magazines
of America, Home and Country and The Month
ly Illustrator have held high place. Each
have ‘occupied a field peculiarly its own. The
two have now been combined under the
blended title, The Monthly Illustrator and
Home and Country, and the October number
furnishes evidence thatthe strong features
of both publications are to be retained, and
indeed improved upon. Especially is this
true with regard to illustrations, of which there
are 166 in the current issue. The subscription
price is $2,00 a year. Issued by The Monthly

Mrs. Jackson Kelly, of Chester Hill, Clear-
field county, died on Monday and' was buried
in the Presbyterian cemetery here, on Wed-
nesday. She had been a great sufferer fol
years.
There has’nt been much petty thieving go-
ing on here for some time, but as the crop of
spring chickens is {ast coming into pot condi-
tin it is altogether likely that they will be
gathered in time for Thanksgiving.
We noticed Rev. J. C. Young, of Pleasant
Gap, in our burg one evening during the week
but did'nt have an opportunity of shaking
hands with him. Of course he was very busy
all the time he was here and we didn’t fee]
slighted at all when we saw the smiles on the
face of one of our maidens when she saw him
driving into town. Come often Reverend.
We have been having a very decided cold
spell for the last few days and it has become
necessary to haul down winter clothing to
properly protect one’s-self against the chilling
blasts. Some people down at Hannah must be
of the same opinion, for a gentleman from
that place, who has a reputation for veracity,
told your correspondent, the other day, of how
some cone intends keeping warm. He said
that a certain Hannah Furnace merchant who
is accustomed to sleeping above his store, as a
safeguard against burglars, was entertaining a
party of friends in his place of business last
Sunday night. After they had all departed he
locked up and went to bed. He heard no dis-
turbance during the night, so imagine his sur-
prise when he found 21 pairs of men’s drawers
missing in the morning. The mystery is:
What became of the drawers?

The sprightly form of D. D. G. Master
Cronister, of Port Matilda, was seen but

corps of appointed officers.
Just as we go to press word has reached
us that “Aunt Sallie,” relict of Fredrick
Gates, at one time a resident of this place
died at the home of her nephew, John
Gates, at Centre Line, last Sunday, the 6th
inst., aged 83 years. During her score of
years of widowhood she made her home
with near relatives, but for the last few
years she was kindly cared for by “Aunt
Sallie” Way, near Stormstown. Her
death was not unexpected as she had had
heart trouble for some time. Her maid-
én name was Pyle. Burial took placeat
Gatesburg on the 9th inst. where she
gently sleeps by the side of her husband.
It is with sadness that we chronicle the
death of Rebecca E., wife of W. F. Heber-
ling, which occurred on the Bth inst. at 3
o'clock a. m. after several weeks illness
with typhoid fever. From the first that
she took her bed she did not expect to
recover. Thus the headlight of another
family has gone out and her place around
the family hearthstone will be hard to fill.
She was the daughter of Peter and Mary
Louck and was born August 13th, 1849,
She was married twice. June 22rd. 1868,
she married Jacob Hicks to whom she
had twelve children, but five of whom are
living. February 18th, 1886, she married
; W. F. Heberling and this union was bless"
ed with three children, of whom two
! bright little girls and husband mourn her
| demise. Interment was made in Gray’s
| cemetery, on Sunday, at one o'clock. In
the absence of the pastor, Mr, Leaver, of
Stormstown, conducted the religious ser-
vicesand J. B. Heberling the burial ser.
vices. The grave was bedecked with
flowers and roses which bhetokened
great respect for the departed.

When the news was received on Saturday
evening from Cornell, that the score in the
great football game stood 0-0, the whole stu-
dent body nearly went wild. Bells were
pounded, cannons fired, and a couple hun-
dred students marched, in shirt {ail parade,
single file and lock-step for hours up and
down the streets and through the campus,
with tin horns, bells, rattles, and everything
that could be used to male a noise, until they
were tired out, and went to bed to gain
strength to welcome the boys home on Mon.
day morning, which they did in royal style.
