THE SEVENTH ANNUAL CHRISTIAN EN-
DEAVOR CONVENTION AT UNIONVILLE.—
The seventh annual! convention of the
Christian Endeavor societies of Centre coun-
ty met at Unionville on Saturday and Sun-
day under the most auspicious circum-
stances that have ever attended such a
gathering in this county. It was held in
the Presbyterian church and every session
was largely attended.
The convention was called te order
promptly at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon,
by the county president, James A. Pratt.
He introduced the first speaker of the day,
George Spotts, of Unionville, who spoke
on ‘‘If ye shall ask anything in my name I
will do it.”” Miss Nannie Fisher, of Union-
ville, made the address of welcome, which
was also very well responded to by G. H.
Lichtenthaler, of Philipsburg. A very
beautiful piece entitled ‘‘The Banner of the
Cross’’ was then sung, after which Miss
Lulu Griest, of Huntingdon, read a report
on ‘‘Ideal Committee Work’ which was
certainly appreciated. After the following
committees were appointed the afternoon
session was brought to a close.
Committee on nominations was composed
of W. B. Thomas, of Mileshurg; Mr. Ebbs,
of Loveville, and Miss Carric Weaver, of
Bellefonte.
Committee on resolutions, G. H. Lich-
tenthaler, of Philipsburg; Miss Rose Levy,
of Mileshurg, and Mrs. M. B. Holtzworth,
of Unionville,
The evening services began at 7:15 with
a lively song and praise service. At 7:35
Rev. J. T. Scott, pastor of the Presbyterian
church at that place but whose home is in
Bellefonte, made an excellent address on
the subject of ‘‘Stir up the gift that is with-
in you.”” A hymn entitled ‘‘He is Near’’
was then sung after which a number of
short sentenced prayers were offered. Rev.
Newett. pastor of the United Brethren
church of Port Matilda, was introduced
and made an able address. After Mr.
Newett had spoken a business session was
held. Reports from different county of-
ficers and superintendents were then heard.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year resulted as follows: President. J. A.
Pratt, Unionville; vice president, H. B.
Heylmun, Bellefonte, recording secretary,
Miss Nannie Fisher, Unionville; treasurer,
Miss Rose Levy, Milesbhurg.
After the evening session the visiting
Endeavorers were charmingly entertained
by the local society.
SUNDAY’S PROGRAM.
Probably the best and most interesting
meeting during the convention was the
“Sun Rise Prayer Meeting’’ held on Sun-
day morning at 6 o’clock, led by Miss M.
B. Holtzworth. She used for her subject
‘The Supreme Gift.”” This meeting seem-
ed to be filled so full of the power of God
that during the whole day the Endeavorers
were overflowing with the Holy Spirit,
that precious gift from on high.
At 9:00 o'clock the quiet hour service
was held and led by G. H. Lichtenthaler,
of Philipsburg. At 10:05 the convention |
sermon was preached by Rev. Elmer C.
Wiliiams. His subject was ‘‘The Attrac-
tiveness of Jesus Christ.”” The afternoon
meetings were deeply interesting, especial-
ly the excellent talks on the ‘‘Junior
Work,”” and the ‘‘Tenth Legion Work.’
FOSTER TALKING WEATHER.—My last
bulletin gave forecasts of the storm wave to
cross the continent from: the 22nd to the
26th, and the next will reach the Pacific
coast about the 26th, cross the west of the
Rockies hy close of 27th, great central val-
leys 28th to 30th eastern States 31st.
Warm wave will cross the west of Rock-
ies country about the 26th, great central
valleys 28th, eastern States 30th. Cool
wave will cross the west of Rockies coun-
try about the 29th, great central valleys
31st, eastern States Sept. 2nd.
Temperature of the week ending 8 a. m.
Sept. 4th, will average about normal. Rain-
fall for the same period will be above nor-
mal in the northern States, below in the
southern, about on the Pacific slope.
Near the date of this bulletin will begin
a ten days’ heated term in the northern
States, accompanied by dry weather. Not
all the time hot and dry but these will be
the averages of the 10 days.

——The remains of James Nelson, aged
15, who died at the home of his adopted
parents, Chas. W. and Elizabeth Myers, in
Tyrone, on the 22ult, were brought to Snow
Shoe Intersection for burial. Typhoid fever
caused his death.

-——The Free Methodist bush meeting
up in *‘Bush’s Hollew,”’ near Unionville,
was largely attended last Sunday.
Centre Hall.
Miss Tacy Kramer spent several weeks at
Rebersburg among friends.
Amanda Bair, of Rebersburg, died last
week and was buried Sunday. She was aged
between fifty and sixty years.
Bicycling is one of the sports indulged in
by both single and young married people of
town between dusk and darkness.
J. Frank Meyer, of Penn Hall, who is tak-
ing a post graduate course at Johns Hopkins
University, Baltimore, in chemistry and
physics, was in town this week.
Mrs. Jennie Heckman has returned to Lock
Haven after spending some time here. Mr.
and Mrs. Kramer will move from Lock Hav-
en to DuBois within two weeks.
Dr. Parke has purchased the medical out-
fit of Dr. W. A. Jacobs, deceased, and will be
here Monday for business. Dr. Parke is a
graduate of New York college of physicians
and surgeons.
Dr. Lee moved to town from Madisonburg
and will practice his profession here. That
gives Centre Hall three new physicians, and
if the sick don’t get well and the well don’t
get sick ““There’ll be a hot time in town.”
Young Schofield in his Manila letter says
monkeys are worth one dollar and parrots
two dollars per pair. At that price it would
pay to send a pair of parrots to Washington
to tell the people the truth concerning the
Philippine situation, but monkeys are
evidently not needed in the National Capitol.
Rev. A. A. Kerlin, of Sharpsburg, Md.,
was here this week to see his brother A. S.
Kerlin who has been ill for some time. The
reverened was accompanied by A. M. Wake-
field, of Petershurg, Huntingdon county, who
is one of the up-to-date and practical farmers
of his section. The application of ‘‘old
farmer’’ with reference to his personal ap-
pearance would be a misapplication.
Mrs. Stiver, while going to the stable a few
days ago to feed chickens, was overcome by a
| the walk.
Rev. Dr. Campbell, of Mt. Union, gave an |
interesting discourse on the subject of
‘‘Christian Ead eavorers and the Mid-week
Service.”’
At 7:00 o'clock a lively praise service
was led by Miss Nannie Fisher, after which
two excellent addresses were made by Rev.
C. E. Eberman, of Lancaster, and Rev.
Luther DeYoe, of Harrisburg. The con-
secration service followed. This meeting
was led by Samuel Taylor, of Bellefonte,
and it was one of the most interesting
meetings during the convention.
Next year the convention will be held in
Bellefonte.
The following resolutions were read and
adopted:
The C. E. societies of Centre county in
convention assembled at Unionville, Pa.,
Aug. 26th and 27th do hereby resolve,
1st. That we urge upon the members of
all the societies in this county to join the
Tenth Legion or adopt some other way of
systematic giving.
2nd. That we look with alarm upon the
indifference shown by the members of the
most of the societies to the mid-week serv-
ices held in their churches and urge upon
them to attend the same.
3rd. That we fully appreciate the work
amoug the juniors and urge upon each so-
ciety to try to awaken an interest in this im-
portant branch of the C. E. work.
4th. That we urge upon all the societies
in the county to do all they can and to use
all honorable means for the overthrow of the
drink traffic in the county, it being one of
the greatest foes if not the very greatest foe
that the C. E. army has yet to conquer, and
is to-day the greatest menace to the final
triumph of the true principles of Christian
Endeavor.
5th. That the true and heartfelt thanks
of the members of this convention are here-
by extended to all who have in any way
aided to make this convention so enjoyable,
interesting and successful. We are deeply
grateful to all the good people of this place
who have kindly opened their homes for the
entertainment of delegates. Especially do
we thank the officers of the convention for
the untiring zeal that they have exhibited
for the success of this convention.

For W. C. T. U. WORKERS.—The 16th
annual county convention of the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union will be held
Monday afternoon and Tuesday, Sept. 11th
and 12th, in the W. C. T. U. rooms, Belle-
fonte. Miss Jessie Ackerman, who has

ties in many of them, will speak on Mon-
day evening and be present at Tuesday
morning’s session. : =

Her daughter Maggie saw her

Neighbors were called in and
the aged lady was helped to the house.
Dr. John I. Robison is the successor of Dr.
J. F. Alexander, who retires from practice.
Dr. Robison also purchased Dr. Alexander's
splendid home 1n this place, which will be
presided over by his widewed mother, Mrs.
Rebecca Robison, of near State College. The
doctor comes highly recommended. Heis a
graduate of Jefferson college, Philadelphia,
and the fact that he has been an assistant in.
that institution for some time, which is a
competitive position, is 2 guarantee in itself
of his medical and surgical knowledge. Dr.
Alexander’s future has as yet not been map-
ped out. He will remain in his present home
until the middle of October.
The dwelling owned and occupied in past
by J. O. Deininger narrowly escaped being
destroyed by fire Thursday noon of last week.
Mrs. Rishel, widow of John Rishel, an elder-
ly lady, has rooms in the same house and
uses an oil stove to do her cooking. While
preparing the noon meal the oil in the stove
took fire. Mrs. Deininger gave alarm just as
a number of workmen were passing bye on
their way to dinner. They rushed to the
scene, and found the oil stove covered with
carpets and woolen clothing, but the fire had
burned through them. The stove was pitch-
ed out the window and a window curtain
which took fire was extinguished, then all
was over. It was a close call, and but for the
timely aid of the passersby there would have
been more to tell about ‘that little oil stove.”
Dr. John E. Spindler, a veterinarian of
Tyrone, and Dr. Riter, of this place, slaugh-
tered a cow on the premises of Wm. Gross-
man, across the valley, that responded to the
tuberculin test. The postmortem proved
the test to be correct. Dr. Riter also killed
an animal for Mr. Walker, near Howard,
that had symptoms similar to pluro-pnue-
monia,or as the doctor states it may have been
a case of rabbis. The brains,liver and pleura
were shipped 10 the state department for ex-
amination. Dr. Riter’s diagnosis of a case
is usually supported after an examination
at the state laboratory of the affected parts
of diseased animals sent there. Speaking of
tuberculosis it may be mentioned here that
there is a controversy going on at present
among the most skilled and recognized au-
thorities in the State, as to whether or not
tuberculosis can be communicated from cat-
tle to human beings and vice versa. As the
arguments stand to-day it appears that there
has been an undue scare among the meat con-
suming people, and it looks very much as
though the minds of science will state as a
fact that this much dreaded disease is not
communicableéby eating of diseased meats. In
fact, it may be that tuberculosis will have a
general shaking up and the slaughtering of
cattle to eradicate the disease discontinued.
|
There is at least a sentiment growing in this |
direction among men who have spent much |
>
time in the study of this disease.
Rain came at last and came in a telling
way—it was a wet rain as is declared by all.
Probably a little late to do much good to corn
and potatoes, yet it was of inestimable value.
Preparation for seeding is advancing rapidly
and pastures that were totally dried up will
be refreshed. The pessimist could see no
good in the rain, because it did some damage
by washing fallow fields and permitted the
corn in some places to yicld to the winds.
A peculiar accident happened to a mule
belonging to “Squire W. MM. Grove, below
Centre Hill. A crew of men were working
on the public road near his farm house, and
among the tools used to pull sods off the wag-
ons was a manure hook, which was laid
along side the road. ’Squire Grove's little
girl rode a mule that way and the beast step-
ped on the hook which raised the handle
and the forward motion of the mule caused
the handle to penetrate its skin in front of
the abdomen taking a course in the direction
of the shoulder. Tke wound, which was four
inches deep, was dressed by surgeon Riter
and is healing.
Prof. Geo. Snyder, of State College, cireu-
lated through town Tuesday in the fullest
meaning of the word. He rode from the
College to the home of Lycurgus Lingle, at
Earlystown, and while there his horse fright-
ened at a traction engine and tore loose. The
steed scampered to town and the professor
came 1n hot pursuit. The horse played hide
and seck for an hour or more through the
alleys only giving a clue by the noise of his
travel. He was finally located in Stahl’s
lane and cornered. Prof. Snyder will short-
ly take his position as assistant principal of
the Lock Haven public schools and let horse
hunting at night for those who like it better.
W. A. Hutchison agent for the state de-
partment of agriculture was in this locality
securing samples of fertilizers which will be
analyzed by the department and published in
pamphlet form for general distribution. How
these samples are taken may be of general
interest to farmers. The agent is armed
with a cylindrical brass T. shaped pointed
tube, three quarter inch in diameter and
a foot in length with a quarter cut out down
tc near point. The sack from which the
sample is to be taken is opened, the tube in-
serted and given several turns which fills the
section cut away for that purpose. Several
sacks are thus sampled, the whole is mixed
and then about two ounces of the compound
is put intoa numbered vial. The cost to the
consumer, the analysis on the sacks from
which the samples are taken and the place
the sample is secured is also written on the
same package and shipped to the state De-
partment of Agriculture.

NOT AN ORDINARY SCHOOL
When Williamsport Dickinson Seminary was founded money
making was the last thought of its promoters. To give the young
men and women thorough intellectual instruction and careful
moral training at the lowest possible cost was the paramount aim.
It still remains its paramount aim. New buildings have been
added, the equipment has been enlarged, the faculty broadened
step by step, hut
WILLIAMSPORT DICKINSON SEMINARY
still remains true to its first principles It is a Home and Chris
tian School, but not sectarian. It provides for health and socia
culture as carefully as for intellectual and moral training, taking a
Dersonal interest in each pupil and adjusting methods to needs,
believing that true education seeks to develop the highest type of
manhood and womanhood. Athletics RE by a trained athlete
make ball-field and gymnasium of real value. Nine regular
courses, with elective studies, if desired, offer wide selection,
while 17 skilled teachers classify and instruct, making school
work other than drudgery. Music, Art. Elocution may be studied
with other branches orjalone under teachers with best European

I: DIFFERENT
THE NORTH AMERICAN
(PHILADELPHIA.)
IT'S DIFFERENT, because it prints all the
news, and all the news it prints is true.
IT'S DIFFERENT, because it’s bright and brisk,
up-to-date and vigorous, but not yellow.
IT'S DIFFERENT, because its only policy is to tel)
the truth. It has no covert or personal in-
terests to promote. It serves no political am-
bition, no creed, no class prejudice, no mere
partisan purpose.
IT'S DIFFERENT, because it advocates equa 1
taxation and battles against the existing sys-
tem, which favors the rich corporation at the
expense of the farmer, the merchant, the
manufacturer and the wage-earner,
11"S DIFFERENT, because it stands for Repub-
lican principles, and makes war upon all who
under the stolen name of Republicanism, are
disloyal to those principles.
Is DIFFERENT, because it believes manhood
and not money should rule. Therefore, it up-
holds the rights of all, as against the agressive
power of the privileged few.
IT’S DIFFERENT, because no boss, no corpora-
tion, can control one line of its space.
IT’S DIFFERENT, because it is nonsectarian
and broad; every party, every faith, every
class, and the working man equal with the
millionaire, gets a fair hearing in its col-
umns.
IT'S DIFFERENT, because it
upholds faith in humani- F
it, and the progress of
mankind toward higher CENT
ideals, larger hopes and EVERY-
better living. WHERE. |
IT'S DIFFERENT. It will continue to be dif
ferent. Watch the North American and see
it grow. 44-32-3t.
