County Committee Meeting.
The Democratic County Committee will
meet in the Arbitration room in the Court
House, Bellefonte, Pa., on Monday after-
noon, April 22nd, 1901, at 1 o'clock sharp.
The object of the meeting is to confirm the
apportionment of delegates and to arrange
for holding the Democratic Primaries. We
would urge that every member of the com-
mittee be present either in person or by a
substitute.

Chairman.
No Sympathy For Them.
The Fhiladelphia ‘‘ripper’’ bill, that
will rip out of the hands of the courts the
power to name the tax-assessors of that
city, passed the Legislature on Wednesday
and by this time, we presume. has become
a law. The fact that it will knock out of
place Democratic officials whose aggregate
salariesamount to over $75,000 is but little
to be deplored, for the simple fact that
‘while pretending to be Democrats they
never failed to give their best efforts to
foment factional trouble and their utmost
endeavors too, in building up Republi-
can majorities.
When country Democrats understand
that at present there are 271 men claiming
to be Democrats who hold office in the
various departments of the government of
Philadelphia the salaries of which aggre-
gate over $300,000, and that out of this
long list of office holders enough of money
cannot be raised to pay the taxes of delin-
quent Democrats in a single division there
will be little sympathy extended to those
of them “the ripper’’ ouste from place.
House Passed “Ripper” Act.
t Provides for Election of Philadelphia Board of Re-
vision of Taxes by People. The Creasy Measure
Taxing Corporations for Road Purposes Adopted by
the Representatives.
HARRISBURG, April 10.—The Sebate
bill repealing the act creating the Philadel-
phia board of revision of taxes was taken
up in the House this afternoon for final
passage. Mr. Clarency, of Philadelphia,
said a large percentage of the citizens of
Philadelphia was satisfied with the present
system of assessments of property and that
they were opposed to any change in the
law by the passage of this bill.
Mr. Creasy, of Columbia, was opposed to
the bill because it took away from the
board of judges the appointment of the
members of the board. of revision of taxes
by whom the assessors are appointed.
Mr. Creasy said that he would be satisfi-
ed that the members of the hoard of revis-
ion should be elected by the people if they
were givena chance to have their votes
counted through an honest ballot system.
Two years ago. when he was a candidate
for State Treasurer, one of his colleagues
on the ways and means committee from
Philadelphia put 200 votes in the ballot
box against him before the pools opened.
Mr. Cooper, of Delaware, said he was a
Republican, and always had been, but he
had no hesitancy in saying that if this hill
becomes a law the great Republican party
will be in danger. He was opposed to the
bill because he believed by so doing he was
helping to break a ring. He voted for the
Pittsburg “ripper” because he believed
that by the passage of the bill he was help-
ing to break a ring, but he now finds that
he and 106 Members have heen given a
gold brick. He proposes to peel the gold
off the brick and use it for some good pur-
pose.
Mr. Cooper said he did not understand
the recent political movements in Pennsyl-
vania, and to give the great leaders of the
State a chance to be heard he moved to
postpone consideration of the bill for the
present. The motion failed by a vote of
78 yeas to 116 nays. The bill then passed
finally by a vote of 116 to 78.
The bill now goes to the Senate for con-
currence in the House amendments.
The House then took up the companion
bill providing for the election of hoard of
revision of taxes at the next general elec-
tion.
The Creasy hill taxing corporations for
road purposes passed finally by a vote of
120 to 38.
“THE bill amending the “act of 1895, rela-
tive to the rebuilding of county bridges
over navigable streams by extending its
provisions so as to authorize the rebuilding
by the Commonwealth of county bridges
which have become dangerous and unfit
for the uses intended and providing for
changes in the location of bridges rebuilt,
also passed finally. ‘
ACTION ON BEDFORD BILL.
The Bedford ballot reform bill was tak-
en up by the House this afternoon and read
the third time and then laid aside for the
present, When the Van Dyke primary
“election bill and the Guffey bill are reached
tomorrow, similar action will be taken up-
on them. Mr. Ikeler, of Columbia, who
has charge of the Guffey bill, says none of
the ballot bills will be taken up before
next Wednesday, to allow the parties in
charge of these measures an opportunity to
formulate some measure, if possible, to
meet with their united support.
A bill was introduced in the House to-
day by Mr. Smythe, of Philadelphia, which
practically revives the ballot act in exis.
tence prior to the enactment of the Baker
ballot act,
The Beacom election contest bill was
reached tonight on second reading, and
dropped from the calendar on motion of its
author, Mr. Beacom, of Westmoreland.
The order of to-night’s session was hills
on second reading. Among the measures
passing this stage were bills providing an
additional law judge from Luzerne county ;
validating official acts done and performed
by burgesses holding office under irregular
elections or appointments ; licensing the
manufacture or sale of ““Boiled’’ or ““Pro-
cess’’ butter and repealing the act exempt-
ing sewing machines and typewriting ma-
chines leased or hired from levy or sale on
execution or distress for rent.

Vocaticns in Heaven Will be as on the |
Earth. |
Such is the Doctrine Preached by Rev. Minot Sadage,
a New York Divine, in a Sermon on “The World Be-
yond the Grave.”
NEW YORK, April 7.—Rev. Minot J.
Savage, pastor of the Church of the Mes-
siab, who has delivered many sermons that
have attracted much notice hy reason of
their originality, preached to-day on ‘‘The
World Beyond the Grave.” Speaking of
the possible disentanglement after death to
relationships existing in this life he said :
“Will there be perfect happiness, perfect
bliss in the other world? Perhaps I shall
shock you when I say Ido not expect it at
all in my own case. This old idea that the
minute you died you were either going to
hell and be miserable as possible and con-
tinue to exist, or going to Heaven and he
happy as you could he and continue to
exist, both seems to me utterly absurd. I
expect to go into the other world what I am
now. Ido not expect to.be perfectly hap-
Vi believe there may be a good many
sources of disquiet and discomfort for
awhile over there; but if life is something
grand, and there is hope for everybody,
then there may be happiness unspeakably
finer and nobler than that senseless and in-
sipid happiness that has heen painted to us
of sitting on acloud and do nothing ex-
cept play a harp or hear someone else play.
‘‘I believe over there there is to he field
for the operation and development of all
that we are. The astronomer shall still
have heavens to study. He who isover-
whelmed, as I have always been, by the
infinitely little, shall have an opportunity
to look into the secrets of the universe.
Why may not poet write grander epics
and dramas and lyries than he ever wrote
here? Why may not the historian have
grander themes to engage his pen ?
‘Why may not the orators have ‘andi:
ences still to listen and applaud? Why
may not the painter and the sculptor be
able to outline and shape the images of
beauty that they see in the outside world,
or that they dream in the innermost cavities
of their brains? I believe that the occupa-
tions over there shall be just as natural and
human as they are here.
‘Why shouldn’t we think of this finally
as human, active life, and a life that can
go on forever, and dream of an eternal
life 2”

Serious
German Emperor's Latest Speech to His Soldiers
Tells Them the Authority of the Crown Must Be
Maintained.
BERLIN, April 7.—Careful investigation
at Potsdam to-day regarding the circum-
stances in which Emperor William deliver-
| ed his latest military address developed the
information that during a review last Tnes-
day of a number of military bodies belong-
ing to the Pottsdam garrison extraordinary
precautions were taken to prevent any rep-
resentative of the press or other civilian
obtaining knowledge of his majesty’s re-
marks, which were uttered in the Lust-
garten, adjoining the royal castle. From
persons who were present it was learned
that the Kaiser spoke substantially as fol-
lows :
‘A hand from out of the people was re-
cently raised against me, to my intense sor-
row. Evidently serious times are coming,
which will try our mettle. I know that
the army is true to its traditions and the
solemn oath it has taken. I know it will
remain steadfast and faithful to me.
‘My conviction is especially strong re-
garding the guards and regarding this regi-
ment now present, which is tied to the
Hohenzollerns by indissoluble bonds, as
the past has shown during the troublesome
times abroad, and even during revolution-
ary times at home.
“The authority of the crown must be
maintained. Woe to the soldier who list-
ens to the voice of the tempter !’’
Orders seem to have heen given hy the
Prussian minister of the interior to sup-
press all public mention of quotations from
the , Emperor's speeeh. At Styrum,
near Essen, during a recent meeting called
to protest against an increase of the corn
tolls the police dissolved the assembly
when a speaker cited a sentence from his
majesty’s speech to the Alexander Grena-
horseback after the attack upon him at
Bremen. The papers niention similar in-
stances elsewhere.

Being Wrecked—@hastly Tale of the Edstgrn
Seas & 8
Loxbox, April 8.—The Singapore cor-
ghastly story of cannibalism at sea brought
to Singapore hy two survivors of the Nova
Scotian bark Angola, wrecked six days’
sail from Manila, October 23rd last. The
Correspondent says :
*‘The survivors, Johuusen, a Swede, and
Marticornu, a Spaniard, assert that the
Angola struck a reef. Two rafts were
built. The smaller, hearing five men, dis-
appeared. The other with 12 men, drifted
for 40 days. The sailors ate harnacles,
seaweed and finally their boots.
“On the twenty-fifth day two became
insane and killed themselves. The follow-
ing day a Frenchman killed the mate with
an axe, drank his blood and Sried to eat
his brains, but was prevented by . the
others. Next day the Frenchman was
killed while attempting to murder the
captain. The survivors, all of whom were
now insane, ate the Frenchman’s body.
“Cannibalism continued until only
Johnnsen and Marticornu remained. On
the forty-second day the raft stranded on
Subi or Flat island, in the Natuna group
(Northwest of Borneo). Johunsen and
-Marticornu__ were awfully emaciated.
Friendly Malays sent them by junk to

THE BELLEFONTE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH —REMODELLED AND RE
THE REMODELED METHODIST
CHURCH.
Dedicated Under Most Auspicious Circumstances on
Easter Sunday. A Powerful Sermon by Bishop
Fowler. Powell's Original and Successful Money
Getting Plan. The Changes that have been Made
at a Cost of $15,00.
While Easter Sunday proved anything
but a satisfactory day for dame Fashion it
was more than auspicious for Methodism
in Bellefonte, for notwithstanding the raw,
chilly, showery April day the new-old
church was opened with soul stirring serv-
ices that were crowned by raising the en-
tire indebtedness hanging over it.
Ever since last fall, when the work of re-
modeling began and the expense of it went
steadily on into the thousands the members
of the congregation had looked with fear
and trembling toward the day set for the
re-opening. With brave hearts and stolid |
determination they went on with the work,
however, until their old church has been
completely remodeled in its interior. The
total cost of the work was estimated at
$15,000 and to raise that sum was the task
set for Sunday.
The services were carried out exactly as
announced hy the program published in
recent issues of this paper, but we want to
note three of the special features.
Bishop Charles H. Fowler, D. D. LLD.,
preached at the morning service from the
gospel according to St. Matthew. ‘Come
see the Place where the Lord Reigns’’ be-
ing his text. The duel event of a dedica-
tory service and an Easter Sunday gave the
eloquent divine food for most beautiful
thoughts and his masterful oratory clothed |

Bishop Fowler has the reputation of being
the most eloquent of the eminent men in
the Methodist church aud he disappointed
no one on Sunday. bai a ie J
The. real work of the day and the task
that seemed most impossible of aceom-
plishment at this time was assigned
to J. W. Powell, a lay brother from Buffa-
lo, N. Y., whose successful attempt at rais-
ing the deht of several Buffalo churches, a
few years ago, has: forced him into the posi-
tion of a semi-professional church beggar.
Mr. Powell isa young man, jolly, ole
souled and to ordinary appearances nothing
more than the successful head of a fruit and
produce commission house in Buffalo, the
Pan-American city. But he is, in reality,
far more than that. He is a wonder.as a
money getter and will be remembered as a
benefactor as long as the Methodist church
in Bellefonte stands. Only the Sunday be-
fore he had cleaned up an indebtedness of
$45,000 on a church in Wilkesbarre and
came here with a record that has the first
failure yet to sully it. Those who knew
the conditions best were fearful of the re-
salt, bu. Mr. Powell left with promises
more than fulfifled. His system is a sim-
ple one. He sells bonds to the value of $24
each, payable in two years and bearing 6
per cent interest. They are made pavable
. monthly, quarterly or annually and if paid
{ before three months carry no interest.
At the morning service the system net-
! ted about $8,000 and the balance was made

| The entrance has not been changed in
any way except as to the landing of the
stairs. Instead of landing in a lobby out-
side the church auditorium as they did be-
i fore, they now run along the right and left
| sides of the church to about the second win-
| dows, leaving all the old hall and space
| under the gallery which is torn clear away,
| to he taken up with seats, and making the
large west window a part of the interior
decorations. A straight aisle runs across
the church from door to door ; leading off
from it toward the pulpit are four aisles,
| twoalong the side wallsand two in the cen-
tre, thus there is no centre or main aisle.
The seats in the recess back of the main
cross aisle are in a solid tier and the floor
under them is level. From that point for-
ward the floor is inclined from an elevation
of 21 inches. The seating, wainscoating,
| pulpit furniture, choir box and other wood
work is all handsome. Tt is dark English
oak, very heavy, giving the elegant ap-
pearance of massiveness. The seats are ar-
| ranged in circular form and thongh without
cushions are very comfortable. The light-
ing is effected by hoth electricity and gas.
The old gas fixtures were replaced, but
thas far the electric lights are being used.
They number 66 incandescent lights ar-
ranged along thie heavy trusses that sap-
port the ceiling and so connected that they
can be lighted alternately. Around the
{ pulpit and altar rail are bunch lights with
| wrought iron chandeliers.

{ cove or arch, the pulpit in the center and
from the left one a staircase leads to the

Why Cuba Objects.
—
From the Pittsburg Post.
After considering the subject for five
weeks the Cuban constitutional convention
has delivered its judgment on the Platt
conditions passed by Congress and approv-
ed by the President. Itis clear and de-
cided. The motion to accept the condi-
tions was overwhelmingly defeated, there
being only two votes in favor and twenty-
four against. Public opinion in. Cuba js |
no doubt with the convention, and is hard-
ening against the conditions. Unless there
should be some change there will be a long
interval of doubt and unrest, and possibly
of danger. The President has not a free
hand to change or modify the conditions,
as Congress made them absolute. The sit-
uation is unfortunate. The section ob-
jected to most strongly by the Cuban con-
| vention and people appears to be the third,
which is in these words : :
That the government of Cuba consents that
the United States may exercise the right to
intervene for the preservation of Cuban in-
dependence, the maintenance of a govern-
ment adequate for the protection of life prop-
erty and individual liberty, and for dischar-
ching the obligatiens with respect to Cuba
imposed by the treaty of Paris on the United
States, now to ‘be assumed and undertaken
by the government of Cuba. i
If Cuba is to be free. and. independent,
“‘as it of right ought to he,”’ as we set
forth in our pledge to Cubans and declar-
ation of war with Spain, the benighted
Cubans see in this clause a grant of powers
that will destroy their independence.
They are not far wrong. It is really a
greater power than Great Britain exercises
in Canada or Australia. We believe the
Cubans should be trusted until they show
themselves unworthy of trust, and certain-

Another Boer Capital Falls, but the Boers Captured
75 British Soldiers in Cape Colony.
LoNpoN, April 9.—Lord Kitchener, re-
porting to the war office under date of Pre-
toria, April 8th, says:
‘Plumer has occupied Pietersburg, with
slight opposition. He captured two loco-
motives and 39 trucks. He took 60 prison-
ers, capturing a seven-pounder and des-
troying 210,000 cartridges, 1,000 rounds of
seven-pounder ammunition, and a consid-
erable amount of powder and dynamite.’”
The capture of Pietersburg is regarded
here as important. The place is the termi-
nus of the railway and has been the capital
of the Boer government since the evacua-
tion of Pretoria. The whoie N orthern
railway is now in the hands of the British.
As an offset the commander-in-chief Te-
ports that a detachment of 100 men, Fifth
Lancers and Imperial Yeomanry, were at-
tacked by 400 Boers to the northward of
Aberdeen, Cape Colony, and that after sev-
eral hours’ fighting the British were sar-
rounded except 25 who succeeded in
making their escape.

Her New Maid.
A young matron tells this joke of her
bridal attempts at housekeeping. She had
employed a greenhorn as a servant, and
spent many weary hours teaching her the
way things shonld be done in the correct
style. :
Her latest lesson related to the correct
Way to receive a visitor, and the maid was
instructed in the mysteries of cards, card-
trays and the accepted formula to be gone
through when opening the door fora caller.
One afternoon the door bell rang, and
Mrs. Gregory heard the ‘‘maid’’ tearing
up the stairs two steps at a time. ‘Shure,
m’m, there’s ove of them machines out-
side with two men a-sittin’ on the top of
it, and a lady on the inside, an’’’—look-
ing at the card in her hand, and with a

The Tasman Sea.
A new name has been given to a part of
the Pacific ocean. A sort of a basin is
formed by the east coast of Australia and
Tasmania, New Zealand and the western
islands of the Polynesian groups which, in
the opinion of Australian geographers,
should have a distinctive name, The Aus-
tralian association for the advancement of
science has accordingly given to this basin
the name of Tasman sea, and the English
admiralty has ordered that the name be
inserted upon the ad miralty charts.

——=A fire at’ the works of the Pennsyl-
vania Mateh Co. in this place aroused the
| town shortly after 6 o'clock Monday morn-
ing and for a while it looked as though the
| flames would destroy one of our principal
industries. The fire originated in the
matoh drying kiln in the centre of the
great building and is supposed to have
been caused by a tray of matches falling
from a rack. The flames licked up the
‘matches and dry wood like tinder, bat fire
proof walls kept them from spreading to
‘other parts of the building and they were
soon under control. The loss is estimated
at about $500.
