——J. K. Moyer, of Centre Mills, has purchased the peach orchard of Henry Detwiler lying north of his farm. The orchard contains 500 trees, but is not ex- pected to yield much this spring as an ex- amination of the buds last week revealed the fact that many of them were frozen. rrr Ql pe ——The 20th century thank offering commission of the Central Pennsylvania Methodist Conference met at Harrisburg Wednesday and furthered the plans for raising a balf million dollars by mass meetings and special services in the churches toward the support of Dickinson college and Dickinson seminary, the Methodist hospital. Philadelphia, retired ministers’ fund and locai church debts. The secretary’s salary was fixed at $2,000 and in addition he will be allowed the ex- pense of traveling and what may be neces- sary to keep up the work. The secretary will arrange conventions and mass meet- ings, which will be held in every city throughout the conference. The trustees of the conference in session considered plans for raising a $100,000 annuity fund, one-half of which is to be raised by the laymen and the other half by the minis- ters. Rev. Dr. Wm. Stephens, formerly pastor of the Methodist church here, is the secretary of the commission. A A FosTER WEATHER.—My last bulletin gave forecasts of the storm wave to cross the continent fiom 22nd to 26th, and the next will reach Pacific coast about 27th,cross the west of Rockies country by close of 27th, great central valleys 29th to May 1st, Eastern States May 2nd. Warm wave will cross the west of Rock- ies country about 27th, great central val- leys 26th, Eastern States May 1st. Cool wave will cross the west of Rockies coun- try about 30th, great central valleys May 2nd, Eastern States May 4th. Temperature of the week ending 8 a. m. April 30th, will average below normal in the great central valleys, below in the Eastern States, and above on the Pacific slope. Rainfall for same period will be deficient. About the date of this bulletin temper- ature will be going from low to higher de- grees and this rise will be closely followed by the coolest part of April. A rapid rise is expected not far from April 29th on meridian 90—earlier west, later east—causing a great high temper- ature wave and making a noticeable con- trast with the low temperature immediate- ly preceding. rr QA pees REV. CRITTENDEN’S CREED FOR A CHRISTIAN.—Rev. R. Crittenden, the Sun- day school evangelist, is very much inter- ested in the unification of church creeds and few men have thought more seriously of the matter than he. His latest work along this line is a revision of the Presby- terian creed, which he thinks should be along the following lines and he expects, ere long, to see the old creed of that church forgotten entirely. THE CREED OF THE CHRISTIAN. 1.—For what purpose did God give us the Bible ? “These are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God ; and that be- lieving ye might have life through his name.” (John 20:31.) 2.—For what did the Lord Jesus come into the world ? “Christ Jesus came intothe world to save sin- ners.” (1 Tim.1:15.) 3.—What did Christ do to save sinners? “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.” (1 Cor. 15:3.) 4.—Is there any other way for us to be saved? “There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12.) 5.-~What must a sinner do to be saved? “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” (Acts 16:31.) 6.—How may we know if any person is a Christ- ian ? Jesns says, “If ye love me, keep my command- ments.” (John 14:15.) 7.—What is the Christian’s condition after death ? “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.” (Rev. 14:13.) Sl ese THE CENSUS ENUMERATORS NAMED.— Several weeks ago the WATCHMAN publish- ed a list of the districts into which Centre county had been divided for the purpose of taking the census of 1900. To day it pre- sents the names of those who have been recommended for appointment as enumera- tors in the various districts. They are as follows: 1 Bellefonte N. W....cocnvieeiinnnnnnseennas S. B.

Dale took a tumble while play- ing ball with some kids on Water street on Wednesday that would have done credit to a circus acrobat. He was running back- ward to catch a fly when his head got to going faster than his heels and Al plowed up a clond of dust that would have done credit as the advance agent of a western cyclone. Centre Hall. Mrs. Elmer Noll, of Lancaster, a niece of Mrs. M. L. Emerick, paid that lady a visit this week. Mrs. Alfred Hosterman, of Centre Hill, who has been in ill health for the past month, is seriously ill at present. F. O. Hosterman, of the live business firm of Hosterman &§Stover, hardware men, of Millheim, was in town on Tuesday on busi- ness and pleasure. Mrs. Scholl, the aged mother of Mrs. Gi W. Hosterman, is seriously ill with dropsy. She had been in excellent health up to ten days ago. The horse sale was well attended on Wed: nesday, and twenty animals were sold— drivers and draft horses. The prices ranged from seventy-five to.one hundred and fifty, with most above the hundred mark. The dealer expects to be back again with another lot. Earnest, a son of Mr. and Mrs. James Her- ring, died at the home of his father in Al- toona a few days ago. It will be remember- ed that this young man lay sick for some time last winter at the home of his aunt, Mrs. John T. Lee, in this place, Mrs. B. H. Arney and Mrs. M. B. Richards attended the funeral. The wheat through the the valley has im- proved 50 per cent. since the recent rains. Where the plants are not totally destroyed by freezing there is prospects for a half to three-quarters of a crop, and in some few cases probably a full yield. The improve- ment in appearance is marvelous. The out- look for a hay crop has also greatly im- proved, although the clover was raised in many parts of nearly all fields by the hard freezing of the past winter. With favorable weather during May there will be many good grass fields. Pine Grove Mention. Blacksmith William Eckly has closed his shop here to accept a position at Benore. The aftermath of the April showers is noticeable in the improvement of the wheat fields. Rev. C. B. Love opened his school, Mon- day, at the Baileyville house with twenty- three scholars in attendance. John Kimport an employee of the Altoona railroad shops is at his home here on a ten days leave of absence and some big fish stories can now be looked for. Reuben Meek and Clay Campbell drove over to Waddles on Sunday from State Col- lege where they more than enjoyed a good square meal at Dempster Meek’s. Reuben Glenn, manager of Meek’s hard- ware store at State College, passed through town on Tuesday on his way to the Glades: He was on business and in such a rush that he did not have time to talk politics. M. E.Heberling and W. E. Reed packed their grio sacks on Monday and started out for greener pastures, which they expect to find up near Patton. There, itis said, work is running around hunting up men. Our newly married man of the tongs and hammer and his bride, nee Miss Remy, are now comfortably located at Struble’s station. He purchased the D. S. Erb property there and is prepared to do all kinds of work in his line and only asks for his share of patronage. Well digger Krape, of Centre Hall has just completed a two hundred and five foot well on Samuel Musser’s Tadpole farm with an abundance of water. Mr. Krape is now sink- ing a second well on the Frank Bowersox farm as the one he completed last summer caved in several hundred feet below the sur- face. On: day last week the pipes down at the Baileyville creamery became clogged and in spite of all that manager Clemenstine could do the machinery refused to go. At first 1t was thought the obstruction was sand and an attempt was made to blow it out but finally the pipe was uncoupled and a two foot eel found, quietly reposing in one of the elbows. Since writing our last letter in which we said an operation would not be performed on Lowell Smith, Dr. Keene of the Jefferson hospital decided that one was necessary and the incision was made last Friday. It was found that a tumor was growing on the abdominal artery and that any attempt to remove it would prove fatal. The 'wound is being healed up so that he will be able to be home in a few weeks but with very little encouragement of an extended lease of life. Captain Kerr, of Pittsburg, engineer Wm. Brady, of Latrobe, and mine host Mr. Wends- worth, of the Mountain house at Cresson as jolly a trio of fishermen as ever waded Spruce Creek were down there on the 16th and caught 198 of the speckled beauties their first day. While here they were entertained at John B. Goheen’s as pleasant a place to stop at as any one could find and Captain Kerr presented a magnificent Scotch collie to Mr. Goheen as he evidently, realized the dog would never find a better home. ——The multitudes who use Major's Cement know that it is many hundred per cent better than other cements, for which similar claims are made, but a great many do not know why. The simple reason is that Mr. Major uses the best materials ever discovered and other manufactur- ers do not use them, because they are too ex- pensive and do not allow large profits. Mr. Major tells us that one of the elements of his cement costs $3.75 a pound, and another costs $2,065 a gallon, while a large share of the so-called cements and liquid glue upon the market are nothing more than sixteen cent glue, dissolved in water or citric acid, and, in some cases, altered slightly in color and odor by the addition of cheap and useless materials. Major's cement retails at fifteen cents and twenty-five cents a bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon it that his only object is to make larger profit. If you are not at all handy (and you will be likely to find that you are a good deal more so than you imagine) you can repair your rubber boots and family shoes, and any other rubber and leather articles, with Major's Rubber Cement and Major's Leather Cement.

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. Kverything 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.
