AN OLD CoPPER BuTTON.—Several days
ago the Philadelphia Record told the story
of an old copper button that is owned by a
resident of Bristol, Penna. Its history
dates back to the time of the revolutionary
war and it is apparent that the button
craze that has been supposed to have been
of such recent origin had its beginning
with the earlier men of the country.
Col. Austin Cartin, of Roland, this coun-
ty, who is now superintendent of the
Chester Spring orphans school has written
to the Record relative to one of the buttons
in his possession, as follows:
“I have had for ten or twelve years one of
those buttons. I believe the buttons were in
existence before General Washington was
President, and I think they must have been
worn on coats or overcoats of some, if not all,
the officers, and, perhaps, some of the men,
who served in the revolutionary war. Just
after the close of the war John Holt, who had
been an officer in the army, settled in the
Bald Eagle valley, adjoining Boggs township.
His descendents reside on the same land now.
Archibald Bathurst, a grandson of another
revolutionary soldier, ten or twelve years
ago, while fishing, stirred up the sand on the
shore, and brought up this button from a
depth of about six inches. The knowledge I
have of the button was gained in talking with
the older members of the Bathurst and Holt
families. My theory is this button once be-
longed to Col. John Holt, and was lost, and,
after probably 100 years, was dug up by Mr.
Bathurst. By him it was presented to me,
and I have carried it in my pocket ever
since.
STATE’S BASE BALL SCHEDULE.—Pros-
pects are better for a strictly first class base
ball team at State College this spring, than
they have been since the days when such
college stars as Atherton, Stuart and Rice
were there and in their glory. Already a
large squad of men are practicing for places
and as there is no dearth of material to
select from captain Johnson ought to have
no trouble in putting one of the best teams
State has ever had in the field. With plenty
of men on the bench, all eager for work,
there will hardly be any let up in earnest
work among the ones who have been
fortunate enough to be placed.
Happily for the lovers of the sport in this
place the management has arranged for
quite a number of games at home.
The schedule is as follows:
April 8th. Susquehanna Univ. at State College.
‘“ 14th. Susquehanna Univ. at Selinsgrove.
15th. Univ. of Penna. at Philadelphia.

THE COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVEN-
TION NEXT WEEK.—The program for the
convention of the Centre county Sunday
schools, to be held in the court house in
this place next Thursday, March 23rd, has
been issued and'will be found in full be-
low. 3101 an he : ila I orev ¥ .
A cordial inyitation to everyone inter
ested in Sunday >school work is extended.
Each school in ‘the county is entitled to
two delegates, in addition to its pastor and
superintendent. . Rev. A. Z. Myers, pastor
of the Philipsburg Baptist church, is pres-
ident of the association and has written
every superintendent in the county, so far
as he has heen able to secure proper ad-
dresses, but if there are any who have
been missed it is his desire that such ac-
cept this as a personal invitation to be
present and participate.
Three sessions will be held, beginning
with the morning session at 9:30 a. m.
The meeting promises to be full of interest
and quite helpful. Many Sunday school
teachers deeply feel their lack of training
for the work entrusted to them. Dr.
Roads will give an address on this subject
during the morning sessions of the conven-
tion.
Mis. J. W. Barnes, state S. S. primary
superintendent, will give a drill to a large
class of children at the convention at 4
o'clock in the afternoon. Mrs. Barnes is
a teacher who has few peers and to hear
her at this time will be quite a treat. She
will also speak at the evening session.

Waldo Rhone, one of the promising youths
of State College, is packing his trunk to move
to Allegheny county where he expects to
take charge of a creamery at Wexford. We
wish him success in his new undertaking.
Isaac Gates went to Danville last week
and succeeded in getting Edward Rider, re-
leased. They arrived home Saturday even-
ing and Mr. Rider is somewhat improved
although not greatly for a six month’s stay.
The Academy, atthis place, will open April,
3rd with Rev. C. T. Aikens as principal and

Both gentlemen have been tried and not
found wanting and all signs point to a first

John H. Weber, of Boalsburg mercantile
fame, has bought H. P. Corman’s entire
stock of merchandise at Oak Hall. On April
1st he will take charge of the store while his
brother Samuel will conduct the business at
the old stand in Boalsburg.
According to many reports heard at the
annual meeting of the State Veterinary
Medical Association in Philadelphia, last
week, stockmen need have no fear of the
early extinction of the horse. They are in
greater demand than ever and prices are
good.
George Y. Meek, of Tyrone, and surveyor
Henry, of that place, are at the old homestead
on Fairbrook this week locating lines and
corners for the new purchaser. Mr. Meek
says his trips to Fairbrook will not be so
frequent since some one else will have to over
see the ranch.
Mrs. David Frantz left Tuesday morning
for Glasgow, Cambria county, in response to
a telegram stating that her son, Rev. Welsh,
was dangerously ill. Mr. Welsh visited
here several” moths’ ldst summer and his
many friends will be sorry to hear of his
illness.
John Jacobs was in a chopping mood one
day last week and cut down several dozen
trees in Mayor Ross’ tract near by. John
thought it sport to see the trees fall but to us
it seems a dire calamity to see the mighty
monarchs down and se few people interested
in the supply of the future.
The dog court that convened at Squire
Miller's last week to adjust Ross Ellenberg-
cr’s loss of sheep awarded him $132. A big
dog belonging to Mr. Nideigh, of Hunting-

so that many of them had to be killed, in
one night. Fortunately the dog was dis-
covered in the act and promptly killed.
Last Sunday ‘while “Joh K¥iné and wife’

Katie Keller celebrated her thirteenth
birthday by inviting a host of her little
friends—boys and girls—to her home to par-
take of refreshments Saturday evening. She
was surprised to receive a number of hand-
some presents.
Three large sales took place near Centre
Hall this season. James Durst’s amounted
to $1,700; Frank Bradford’s summed up $2,-
127 and Hiram Durst’s amounted to about the
same sum. Cattle of all description sold well.
Sheep and hogs were in good demand and
brought top figures. These parties had ex-
cellent stock and in fine condition.
Landlord Shauver did a good. business on
the day of Bradford’ssale. A large number
of farmers, placarded as ‘‘going to sales for a
free dinner” by country newspapers, stepped
up to Shauver’s dinner table and partook of
a hearty meal and planked down the price of
the same. This is evidence that farmers
will, if the opportunity is afforded them, pay
for their meals at sales as well as for all other
honest bills.
Some of the citizens are appropriating the
streets too largely for their own use. What's
the sense in making an: ash dump out of
the principal streets, anyway? What's the
good sense in laving the ‘street in front of
your place of business or private dwelling
look like the proverbial Italian quarter? Each
one ought to have sufficient pride to try to
make the front of his premises look inviting
and not like the surroundings of a voted
slop. Then, there is the alley pg! He ap-
propriates that passage way entirely to his
own use. He fills it with wood, old wagons,
ash heaps, and rubbish of every description,
just as though he had a deed for the land
outside of his fence. The alley hog has no
respect for the rights of others, the only per-
son he cares for is No. 1. He even has the
audacity to growl at others who drive
zigzag among his rubbish and wonder why
he doesn’t go by some other route. By the
way, isn’t it somebody’s business to see that
the streets are kept clean and the alleys
open? |

made us a flying visit on Saturday last. Mr.

acter ranks high in Brush valley. While
here he created quite a favorable impression.
‘C. P. Long, the enterprising merchant, is
erecting a residence and shop on the avenue
to be occupied by A. J. Graden the reliable
shoemaker of our village. Mr. Long is also
converting the large new barn located on the

above the iron bridge, into a shop for wheel-
wright J. L. Roper.. He is also erecting a

on the question, resolved: *‘That the United
States should not enter into imperialism’’

was decided in favor of the affirmative side.

Admiral Sampson has written for the April
Century an illustrated article fully describing the
work of “The Atlantic Fleet in the Spanish War,”
and drawing its lessons. The more important
features of this paper are a plan setting forth the
character of the blockade of Santiago harbor;
maps showing the relative positions from day to
day of Cervera, Schley, and Sampson; and a series
of bird's-eye plans of the engagement of July 3rd,
showing the positions of ‘the vessels at different
stages of the fight. In a foot-note the Admiral
tells this good story:
“As we passed the Teresa and Oquenda, a Span-
ish sailor wasseen struggling in the water on the
seaward side of the New York. In response to his
calls for help, one of the crew seized the chap-
lain’s reading-desk, which was stowed on the
main deck in the passage between the two cabins,
and which had a cross showing on it. As he did
80, he cried out grimly, ‘Cling to the cross and
you'll be saved!" The Spaniard followed instrue-
tions, and was saved.”
Viora ALLEN'S LITERARY AspiraTioN.—Miss Viola
Allen, the “star” of Hall Caine's dramatization of

now make her literary debut in an article which
she has written for The Ladies’ Home Journal,
reciting and explaining fully “What the Life of
an Actress Means.”
