In executive session the conference adopt- ed a resolution declaring that it will not be responsible for the policy of Dr. Swallow’s Pennsylvania Methodist. The report of the statistical committee shows a membership of 62,878, a decrease for the year of 227; there was an increase of six churches. The total missionary col- lections for the year were $48,484, au in- crease of $2,246 over last year. The dele- gates to the general conference were in- structed to vote for an amendment to the discipline of the church placing members of the Methodist Episcopal church who sign applications for liquor licenses and Methodist attorneys who plead for the granting of liquor licenses under the disci- pline as is provided for in the case of church members who rent places for saloon purpose. Rev. Dr. S. C. Swallow was re-appointed superintendent of the Methodist book room at Harrisburg. The report relating to the better support of conference claimants and recommending an annuity fund was adopted ; subserip- tions for the fund were then taken up. Dr. Monroe, Presiding Elder of the Altoona dis- trict, said he would subscribe $500 and al- so his $300.00 life insurance policy. The terms of Presiding Elders Dr. D. S. Monroe, of the Altoona district, and J. B. Polsgrove, of the Juniata district, having expired, Martin L. Smyser was appointed by the bishop to the former and Emory M.

Mecllnay, Burnt Cabin; Nelson Cleaver to Newton Hamilton; G. P. Sarvis to Thomp- sontown. *- CounciL’s UNIMPORTANT MEETING.— Very little business of importance was transacted at council Monday evening. President Gerberich was in the chair and members Walkey, Wetzel, Derstine, Gher- rity, Knisely and Houser were present Burgess Blanchard was present and re- ported that he had made overtures to Supt. Westfall of the P. & E. R. R. with the hope of securing a watchman at the rail- road crossing over Willowbank street; but that official stated that as only four trains a day pass that point he scarcely feels war- ranted in putting a watchman there ata cost of $30 per month, though he had is- sued orders for all trainmen to be careful in crossing at that point. Council endorsed the action of the bur- gess and decided to co-operate with him in rendering the crossing less dangerous. Lawrence Williams asked to have the water pipes laid to the borough lines so he could tap and run a pipe on out to a prop- erty he contemplates purchasing on Fifth Ave. It would require about 1320 feet of pipe. The Fire and Police committee reported favorably on the Burgess’ suggestion to move the old lockup to the site back of the water works, where it can be supplied with steam heat from the works. Council adopt- ed the recommendation. Upon motion of Mr. Gherrity it was de- cided to enforce the ball and chain ordi- nance against tramps and put all them to work on the streets. . Bills to the amount of $220.37 were ap- proved and the session adjourned. ener ee pl rm, ——A handsomely appointed card party was given, Tuesday evening, by Miss Eliza M. Thomas at her home on Curtin street, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. John Porter Lyon, of Tyrone, whose wedding was one of the pleasant events of last September. Thirty guests were entertained. WAS MARRIED IN JOHNSTOWN.—The Johnstown Tribune of last Thursday, March 15th, published the following account of the wedding of a well-known Centre coun- ty business man to acharming young wom- an of that city. Mr. M. Clair Gephart, of Millhem, Centre county, and Miss Anna Gertrude Miller, of Johnstown, were married at 9:30 o’clock this morning at the First English Lutheran church, in the presence of a number of rela- tives and friends of the bride. Rev. William Alfred Shipman, pastor of the church, per- formed the ceremony, assisted by Rev. Calvin Gephart, pastor of the Lavansville, Somerset county, Lutheran church, a brother of the groom. Immediately after the nuptial knot was tied the bride and groom were conveyed to the Pennsylvania railroad station,Mr. Frank D. Baker and Miss Blanche Brubaker, of Stonycreek street, accompanying them. Mr. Gephart and bride departed on main line express for Washington and Virginia to spend their honeymoon. They will make their home in Millheim. Mr. Gephart is a piano and organ mer- chant of Millheim, and his bride is a daugh- ter of the late Rev. J. K. Miller, whose widow makes her home with her son-in-law and daughter—Mr. and Mrs. Dick Custer— of Vine street. Miss Miller made her home on Adam street with her brother—Mr. Joha Miller. The groom is prominent in business cir- cles in the lower end of the county and has a large coterie of friends about Bellefonte who will join us in our wish that his mar- ried life may be as bright and pleasant as the balmy southern skies under which it has begun. ie t——— ——On and after Monday, April 2ud, a slight advance in passenger rates will go into effect on the Bellefonte Central R. R. The rates on that line have always been considerably under those of other rail roads and Supt. Thomas has endeavored to the last to keep them down, but the sharp ad- vance in t.ze prices of coal and iron has in- creased the expense of operation so mater- ially that it is no longer possible to main- tain the old rates. Manufacturing News for the Papers. Daily A man in that line of work may get a lit- tle richer in money benefit but it isa very poor way of making a living. He may have a little more to eat, but it is not easy to see where the comfort of conscience comes in from reporting what was not done and no- body even thought of doing; what did not happen and was utterly false. The writer of this hac- reference now es- pecially to the report of the Centre county Sunday school convention at Centre Hall last Tuesday which was sent from Bellefonte to the daily papers in Philadelphia. It was reported that certain lines of business were transacted, that was not done. That Mrs. Barnes, of Philadelphia, delivered an address on Primary Teaching; Mrs. Barnes was not at the convention. That the next conven- tion was fixed for State College; no one at the meeting thought of placing the conven- tion there. : In this age of newspapers and newspaper reading the readers want reliable news, not false reports. If they do not get it then, be- lieve me, some of our dailies will be Shel- donized. R. C. + eee eee —— Pine Grove Mention. Rev. Aikens transacted business at Centre Hall Tuesday. Mrs. Gallagher, of Illinois who has not been east for many years, is the guest of her sister, Mrs. Michael Hess. Mrs. David G. Meek is convalescing from her recent illness so favorably that she is now visiting her sister, Mrs. Krumrine, at Tusseyville. Bruce McMahon, the Shingletown mer- chant, is laid up on account of a broken leg. It is his left one and the accident happened while he was getting lumber. Rev. C. L. Reeder, president of the Wom- an’s Seminary, of Hagerstown, Md., will fill the pulpit in the Lutheran church in this place on next Sunday morning. W. D. Port ison a strike this week for higher wages which he expects to get out in the coke region near Patton. He is to have charge of the tool department. That little weather prognosticator, the ground-hog, just humped himself, last week, before he disappeared and the sleighing was excellent for several days. But the roads were drifted so that most of the traveling was by the way of the fields. Professors Miller and ‘McWilliams both bright young men made a bee line for Scotia as soon as the sleighing materialized and as we promised them that we would not peach we will not say one word about them or the attractions they found there. On Tuesday Fairbrookers were out in full force to help Messrs. Koch and Meyers, flit. They just exchanged farms as Mr. Meyers had purchased the George Y. Meek farm on which Mr. Koch has lived for some years and Mr. Koch took posecssion of the J. F. Krebs farm from which Mr. Meyers moved. Former sheriff Chronister is deviating from his old ways and branching out after new honors. He has heen attending our public sales, this spring, and looking up choice stock with the hopes that it would thrive and eventually supplant the ducks, buckwheat and disturbances which, is said, grow plenti- fully on that brag farms of his over in Bald Eagle. On last Thursday the home of Sup’t. Frank Clemson, at Scotia, narrowly escaped being destroyed by fire. Shortly after dinner a passer-by noticed a dense smoke issuing from one of the rooms upstairs and promptly gave the alarm. A bucket brigade was soon form- ed and the fire was drowned out before any serious damage was done. The fire originated in an unused room upstairs, where one of the children was playing, and must have been started in a trunk as all its contents, a lot of clothing and the window curtains were com- pletely destroyed by the time help arrived on the scene. It is very likely the child would have been overcome by the smoke if assistance had not arrived just when it did. On Saturday morning Mrs. Margaret Corl, wife of J. Elmer Corl, of Pine Hall, departed this life after an illness of many months of consumption. She was only 24 years, 9 months and 10 days of age and her untimely death is a severe loss to her husband and two little children. She was an active worker in the church and Sabbath school and had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church from her childhood ; but upon her marriage had joined the Reformed church at Pine Hall to which her husband belonged. She was buried from there on Monday after- noon at 2 o'clock with Revs. Black and Aikens officiating. A large concourse of sor- rowing friends and neighbors assembled to pay her their last tribute and sympathize with her husband, son, daughter, sisters and brother. Women Get Rich as Well as Men. How One Woman Makes $18.00 to $40.00 a Week. Many women say it is hard to get along in the world because they do not have the chance to make money that men do. I disagree with them, for I am perfectly independent since starting in business a few months ago, and never make less than $18.00 a week, and often as much as $40.00. I am selling Baird’s Non-Alcoholic Flavoring Powders, which are much superior and cheaper than the liquid extracts sold in stores. Before starting I wrote to the Baird Mfg. Co., Baird Building, Pittsburg, Pa., and obtained samples which we tried in cakes, candies, custards, and ice cream at our church sociable. Everything was <o delicious that 1 wrote for the agency at once, and had no trouble in establishing a regular trade with my neighbors, which only occupies the time I can spare from household duties. The manufacturers say they will employ any earnest person, man or woman, who can spare all or part of their time, and I ean say I never heard of such an easy way to make money.
