The glass had been gotten almost into position when one of the work- men tried to pry it witha stick. He pried just a little too hard and it split from bot- tom to top. The glass was a 7x12 ft. plate and was valued at $40. — ee MARRIAGE LICENSES.—Following is the list of marriage licenses granted by or- phans court clerk G. W. Rumberger dur- ing the past week. John E. Harpster, of Union township, and Margaret H. Peters. of Unionville borough. Chas. E. McClellan and Robie J. Hicks, both of Philipsburg, Pa. Nincent Rinjora and Nellie E. Twigg, both of Rush township. John W. Flory and Ethel Alice Edmis- ton, both of Ferguson township. el ae FOSTER SAID THIS WAS To HAVE BEEN A Hor WEEK.—Temperature of the week ending August 22nd will average ahove normal east of the Rockies and below west, and the hottest period of August east of the Rockies. My forcasts for July were remarkably verified. The culmination of the long foretold drought and its injuries to crops in July is a substantial proof of the practic- al utility of these forecasts. With all their government paid for records and weather knowledge the national weather bureau can not make a beginning toward such accurate and valuable forecasts as were contained in these bulletins for July. Last week’s bulletin gave assurance that the drought would continue through Aug., materially injuring the corn crop. The southern drought has heen severe, but has not injured cotton to as great an extent as usual. The drought will con- tinue to the south through August. How much cotton will be injured is a problem. —_—e——— THE GYPSY QUEEN ELOPED.—The peo- ple of this vicinity will recall the Har- rison’s, who come through here every spring gypsying. There is a great colony of them and they travel in fine style, with gaudy wagons and lots of camp equipage. They are typical gypsies and the women tell fortunes [and beg while the men swap horses. When they were here in the spring they camped below Milesburg where Harmonica Harrison, a daughter of ‘‘Big Pete” the chief, attracted marked attention by her striking beauty. She is a handsome brunette, 17 years of age, tall and graceful, and will be remembered as having worn a gaudy red dress with a flaring black hat. The costume set off the dusky beauty to fine effect and she attracted no little at- tention in this place. She was the queen of the camp and created a sensation among her tribe at Cumberland, Md., on Saturday night, by eloping. Previous to going into camp there, the young queen had met and fallen in love-with a young man of fine appear- ance, whose name the gypsies have so far refused to divulge. Saturday night the couple boarded a train for Pittsburg. The father of the girl learned of the affair, and wired ahead of the train to have the queen arrested. She was caught at Hyndman and taken back to Cumberland by an officer on Sunday. THE HARVEST HOME PICNIC AND FARMERS INsTITUTE.—The one day farm- ers’ institute and picnic held at Grange park, Centre Hall, on the 11th inst., proved more of a success than the most sanguine had hoped for it. There was a good crowd in attendance all day and every feature on the program was carried out to the letter. ~All the speakers were there, Col. John A. Woodward, the chair- man, Deputy Sec. of Agriculture John Hamilton, Gen. James A. Beaver and Col. D. F. Fortney. The meeting came to order at 10:30 and both morning and afternoon sessions were held. All the talks were on agricultural subjects, highly instructive and entertain- ing. The musical numbers were contrib- uted by the ieasant Gap band and a choir under the leadership of P. H. Meyer. State Master Leonard Rhone made the ad- dress of welcome to the picknickers, to which John Hamilton responded. Miss Florence Rhone contributed an entertain- ing number during the day, and, on the whole, it proved quite a delightful outing for those who were there. Mr. S. W. Smith, secretary of the local committee, whose untiring efforts and en- ergy in getting everything in readiness and making all necessary arrangements by which the visitors were so royally enter- tained, deserves special credit and judging from the many favorable compliments paid him, his abilities have been fully appre- ciated. The following resolutions were presented and adopted at the meeting. Resolved, by the farmers and friends of Agricul- ture in Centre county, assembled to celebrate their harvest home, thatit is an eminently fitting oceasion to express our thanks to a kind Provi- dence for the bountiful harvest bestowed upon the people of this county and the entire country. Resolved, that the great agricultural interests of the country, admittedly the backbone of the Na- tion, should receive that beneficial attention from our halls of legislation, which such an important interest deserves, and that it is regretted that it too often receives minor attention when it should stand foremost in the estimation of our lawmak- ers. Resolved, that we appreciate the effort made by the Department of Agriculture of the State of Pennsylvania to benefit the farmers of the State by the dissemination of scientific knowledge on various branches of agricultural pursuits ; through the medium of farmers institutes and the various agencies made use of by that depart- ment. Resolved, that we hereby return thanks to the county Grange for kindly tendering the use of Grange Park and buildings for the holding of our harvest home picnic; tothe ladies of the decorat- Ing committee ; to the speakers; to the Pleasant Gap band, and the choir for the excellent music furnished. And to Col. John A. Woodward for his efficient services in behalf of the institute and picnic and to all others who have labored to make 1t a success, J. B. Stronym, ) Frep Kurrz, S. W. Smits, J Com.

He is survived by his second wife and six children, one a babe, who mourn the death of a noble man and indulgent father. ——Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. m— New Advertisements.
