MARRIAGE LICENSES.—Following is the list of marriage licenses granted by or- phan’s court clerk, A. G. Archey, dur- ing the past week : Francis A. Foreman and Sarah V. Kline, both of Centre Hall. G. W. Kelley, of Fillmore, and Anna Leitzel, of Patton township. John E. Rinka and Lizzie Immel, both of Spring Mills. George W. Johnson, of Fairbrook, and Clara Cole, of Boalshurg. Walter M. Barr, of Sandy Ridge, and Bessey B. Cowher, of Taylor township. Toner A. Hugg and Mary A. Kreamer, both of Milesburg. Elmer B. Jackson, of Lemont, and Sadie Treaster, of Pleasant Gap. Charles Boob and Alice Frederick, both of Laurelton, Pa. Robert Miller and Ida Knoffsinger, both of Bellefonte. Henry Beezer and Katharine Davison, both of Bellefonte. Centre Hall. » Mrs. Reifsnyder, of Millhiem, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. W. W. Boob. J. W. Wolf and F.M. Crawford made a business trip to Reedsville and Lewistown on Monday. Prof. B. M. W agonseller opened his school Tuesday with eleven scholars. Miss Anna Bartholomew has a large number of children she is looking after. At noon hour the school yard looks like the play ground of a kinder, garten. Dr. Jno. F. Alexander arrived home from California, last evening, looking consider. ably improved in health, though the strain of the long journey caused a break down at Tyrone, to which place Mrs. Alexander journeyed to accompany him home. Messrs. John Hosterman and Ralph Boozer are attending school at Spring Mills, going to and from that place by train. They help to make the school of sixty odd pupils who are instructed by Rev. D. M. Wolf, D. D. assist- ed by John Keller, of this place, a student at the theological seminary at Lancaster. Dr. H. Glossner went to Luzerne county last Saturday and from there will return to his home in Paoli, near Philadelphia. He had charge of Dr. Alexander’s practice for six or more months and during that time proved himself exceptionally well qualified in his profession. Dr. Glosser also had many enviable personal qualities, and during his stay here gained the confidence and ad- miration of all who learned to know him. Samuel Shannon Post selected Prof. John D. Meyer as orator on Decoration day. He will fill the position with credit, undoubted- ly, and have some new thoughts to present to his hearers. The average Decoration day orator uses the stereotyped expressions that have long ago lost their grit, not because they are not true, but because of familiarity. The post should adopt some new program for this May holiday. The attendance could be greatly increased if properly agitated. Ef- fort should be made to have decorations of a more fitting character. The wild daisy, lilac, locust blossom and dandelion are pretty, of course, but the man who stood in battle or showed a willingness to do so by enlisting, is entitled to the prettiest and sweetest of the floral kingdom. Who will hesitate to lay the loveliest flower on the grave of the de- parted hero? Let the soldiers have the flow- ers and attention on Decoration day; the graves of those bound by ties of consanguini- ty can be looked afterat another time. Dec- oration day is distinctly a soldier’s day and no one should attempt to rob it of flowers to put them on the graves of personal friends and relatives. The dead do not want this habitual robbery of the soldier’s legacy and it should be no longer practiced. The trustees of the Centre Hall cemetery should go on and complete the work begun last summer and put the burying ground in first class condition. There are some un- sightly spectacles to be seen on the ground un- der the trust ees’ management. Improvements that suggest themselves to the passers by are many. Among them are these: The head and foot stones should be stood erect. There are many grave marks there who have no one to care for them. All such should be taken in charge by the trustees and properly placed. Not a marker of any description should be left stand at any angle except per- pendicular after the fifteenth of May. Why collect moneys if they are not to be expended on beautifying the burying ground. Anoth- er improvement should be gravel walks and driveways, which are within the reach of the treasury receipts. Pine Grove Mention. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Kustaborder, of State College, attended Easter services here. Sheriff Brungard transacted business here pertaining to his office last Saturday. Martin Dreiblebis is happy over the advent of a baby boy at his home. His family now numbers two girls and one boy. The grain came out of winter quarters in bad condition so that at best but halfa crop can be expected. The hay crop will also be short as the grass was badly frozen. Lowel Smith, one of our boys who is now in the Jefferson hospital in Philadelphia, writes that he is slowly improving and that Dr. Kune thinks an operation is unnecessary. Mrs. Simon S. McCormick,of Hublershurg, and her children are visiting at the Dannley home here. Before leaving they will spend some time with the doctor’s relatives at Pine Hall. Mrs. John McGill returned to her home at McAlevey’s Fort Tuesday after a delightful visit with her friends at Fairbrook and the Glades. She was a guest at the home of G- W. McWilliams. Levi Krebs returned home Saturday from the German hospital in Philadelphia where he was treated for stomach trouble. He is now able to be about and hopes that with the coming of warm weather he will regain his health more rapidly. The recent floods washed our roads so that supervisor Hess has had to make several tours of inspection and lots of repairs. At Pine Hall great gullies were washed and deep sinks formed close by the road and at one place extended clear across the road. It was filled and bridged over with planks. Every spring new cavities form at that point and a year ago Mr. Corl investigated and found that a hundred feet below the surface there seemed to be a subterranean passage from which rumbling sounds could be heard. George M. Johnson and Miss Clara Cole were married at the county seaton Thurs- day the 12th by the Rev. Wilford Shriner, of the Methodist church. On their return the calithumpians gave them a royal welcome which cost the groom a whole box of tobies. This is the groom’s fourth venture in the matrimonial line but the bride, Miss Clara Cole, is the very picture of health and bids fair to have a longer lease of life than any of his former helpmates. She is a daughter of the late Abram Cole, of Boalsburg, and is an expert housekeeper. The groom is one of our tallestand best farmers and at present is tilling the acres of the Ewing farm at Fair- brook. Mzs. ELIZABETH HARPSTER.-—The death of Mrs. Elizabeth Gates Harpster, at her home in Gatesburg, at midnight of the 13th after a long illness of lung trouble was not unexpected. She is the last one of the fam- ily for whom the little town in which she was born and lived was named. There she was known as aunt Betsy and because of pleasing ways and generous kindly disposi- tion was greatly loved by the entire neigh- borhood. She was born on the 13th, of May 1826, and fifty years ago she married Chris- topher Harpster. Four of her children sur- vive to mourn a dear, good mother. Mrs. Elliott Ward, of Washington, Pa.; Mrs. Samuel Boop, of Pleasant Gap; David Harp- ster, of Half-Moon, and Isaac at the old home. She was buried on Monday at 10 o'clock in the Gatesburg cemetery by the side of her husband. Rev. Aikens conducted the services and paid a glowing tribute to her noble christian character and church work. The pall-bearers were John R. Lemon, Jacob Krider, Cyrus Barr, Levi Garber, Jacob Rider and Howard Barr. Millheim. Mrs. M. C. Gephart is visiting at Johns- town. Francis Ulrich has been given employ- ment by postmaster Spigelmyer as assistant. Edward Williams visited the home of his brother-in-law, Prof. H. C. Rothrock, over Sunday. The Commercial Telephone Company is putting an exchange in town this week and intends stringing the wires between here and Brush valley. Mrs. Rachael Hummel, of Milton, and her daughter, Mrs. Elmer Noll, of Lancaster, are visiting friends and relatives in Millheim this week. Warren Swanger, who had been spending his spring vacation in town with his parents, left, Monday afternoon, for Muncy, where he is employed as a telegraph operator. Trout fishing in Elk creek this year has been reported as being very poor, although the banks of the stream are daily lined with disciples of Old Walton, yet there have been no remarkable catches made. The Easter cantata which was rendered in the Methodist church last Sunday was a suc- cess. The class consisted of twenty persons who, under the efficient instruction of Mr. Harry Kister, certainly acquitted themselves nobly. NEW ORLEANS, La., April 17.—The election to-day in Louisiana for members of the Legislature and full state ticket re- sultel in a Democratic landslide. The ticket headed hy Auditor Heard swept the State from one end to the other and the Legislature is overwhelmingly Demceratic. To-day’s was the first election held un- der the constitution disfranchising the ne- gro and the battle at the polls was fought almost exclusively by the whites. Three state tickets were in the field, the Denio- cratic, the Republicans and the fusion em- bracing planters, independent Democrats and Populists. The Democratic majority in the State will exceed 25,000 and may reach 50,000. OPPORTUNITIES FOR BusiNess.—At towns on the new lines of the Chicago & North-Western Rail- way are summarized in a pamphlet that may be obtained upon application to W. B. Kiskern General Passenger and Ticket Agent, 22 Fifth, Ave., Chicago, Ill. Women Get Rich as Well as Men. How Cne 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 so 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 can say I never heard of such an easy way to make money.
