BURGESS BLANCHARD TAKES A PROMI- NENT PART IN THE TRAMP CONVENTION. —Burgess Edmund Blanchard, who has done so much toward breaking up the rowdyism on our streets, and long ago practically rid Bellefonte of the tramp nuisance, was in Philadelphia on Wednes- day. The object of his visit was to attend the convention of the burgesses and mayors of the various towns and cities in the State, called by the Philadelphia Inquirer, to dis- cuss the tramp question. The confegence was held at the Conti- nental hotel and proved very enthusiastic. As a result of the deliberations it looks as though the tramp has received a harder jolt that the old woman gave him when she offered an ax and a wood-pile to the festive hobo to work up an appetite for breakfast. Two sessions were held. Mayor Ash- bridge, of Philadelphia, spoke at both and urged concerted action in ridding the State of the pests. A committee of ten was ap- pointed to consult with authorities in oth- er States with the purpose of bringing about a general co-operation all over the country in the project. Before adjourning the convention, by resolution, thanked the Inquirer for bringing the subject so promi- nently before the people of the State and taking the initiatory in a step so manifest- ly beneficial to all. While probably one of the youngest men there burgess Blanchard, if not too modest, might have given them all a few valuable pointers on doing the right thing in municipal affairs. Especially would the Hon. Sam Ashbridge, of Philadelphia, have been a good mark for our burgess. ‘WHERE TROUT MUST BE PLENTIFUL. — About the best fish story of the season comes from the new fair grounds in this place. > A few days ago the members of the Acad- emy base hall team were practicing on the grounds down there, when the ball was accidentally knocked into the lake. It fell close to the shore and one of the boys took a bat to recover it with. By striking in the water he made waves that were car- rying the ball towards him, until a big trout caused him to forget all about the ball and everything else. Just at the moment the end of his hat was about to strike the water the big trout jumped at a fly directly under it. The bat struek the trout on the head so hard tbat it was stunned and keeled over on its side. The student quickly took advantage of his opportunity and soon had the fish lying out on the grass. * It was a brook trout and measured 17} inches in length. > oor A PATRIOTIC COMBINATION. — Coinci- dents frequently happen in the thoughts and actions of persons but such an one as came under our notice on Wednesday morning we have never heard of before. Three letters, one from Rudd, Iowa, anoth- er from Clearfield, Pa., and the third from Sherman Heights, Teun., were opened in the order named. From the first fell adol- lar in red postage stamps, from the second a white check and from the third a blue postal money order. It was purely accidental, but they fell in such a way as to make a perfect tri-color of red, white and blue. Such a coincidence in colors we have never heard of betore, coming in such differing objects, in the same mail, and from such widely separate points. ee serra STATE Losr.—The inter-collegiate de- bate between a team from the Pennsylva- nia State College and Franklin and Mar- shall, at Lancaster, on Tuesday evening resulted in a decision for Franklin and Marshall.

King, one of the actors in Millheim’s frightful drama of last week, has taken a turn for the worse and it is feared she can- DOG recover. As a result of the bullet wound in her abdomen, caused by her husband, on Mon- day morning, before he tragically put an end to his own life, Drs. Frank and Mingle say an abscess is forming from which she willjhardly be able to recover. Since the time when the bullet plowed its way through her liver and kidney, final- ly lodging near the middle of the back,’she had born up with remarkable strength for a week and symptoms were most hopeful until last Monday, when she was seized with an epileptic fit, to which she had been subject. It so exbausted her that she bas been failing ever since and now little hope for her recovery is entertained. The doc- tors made a diagnosis on Wednesday and came to the conclusion that an abscess is forming. iain WHERE IS THE GIRL WHO WIrLL HELP Him.—The following advertisement ap- peared in the Philadelphia Sunday Inquirer and while we are not paid for republishing it we do so with the hope that a well built young woman may be found for this young Bellefonte business man.

It was put out to kill the rats that were carry- ing off Mrs. Harter’s chickens and when it was discovered that Dick had eaten it everything possible was done to counteract it, but all to ne purpose, for he died soon after. The Harter hoys valued Dick at about: $50, so that the loss is quite an appreciable one. rm Qf ren FAIR CoMMITTEES.—The committees ap- pointed at the recent meeting of Centre County Agricultural Exhibiting Co. are as follows : Amusements—John M.

Instead of ‘‘directing’’ the Commissioners of Centre county to pay the costs and expenses it now ‘‘authorizes’” them to do it. attr ——Daring the thunder storm Saturday evening there was a heavy fall of hail in the vicinity of Rosecrans, Clinton county.

CHUPES AND Miss JENNY.’— Among the new books that have just been | published and one that is well worth reading is “‘Mr. Chupes and Miss Jenny.” the life story of two robins, by Mrs. Effie Bignell. It is an entertaining tale, all the more in- teresting because true, of the life of two birds who were rescued from untimely deaths by the author and whose intelligence and affection, ever afterwards, made them willing captives and most fascinating and lovable companions. It is a departure from the ordinary bird book and holds the attention, whether we are especially inter- ested in birds or not, for it is an unusual theme and contains a fand of valuable in- formation for comparatively little search- ing. In style and diction it is refreshing ly, simple and pleasing and we would that more people were imbued with its spirit. For the bird lover and now popular natur- alist it is a delightful volume. From begin- ning to end it reveals the charm of the cool forests, green byways and peaceful coun- try air, as well as the wonderful individ- ual ity of itschief characters, ‘Mr. Chupes and Miss Jenny.” And they were remark- able members of our most captivating and deservingly popular bird family—the robin. It is published by The Baker and Taylor Co., New York, and is attractively illus- trated by photographs from life.
