A TRAINER FOR THE TRACKS.—The
Centre County Agricultural Exhibiting Co.
seems determined to put every advantage
of opportunity in the way of our people.
The announcement was scarcely made that
the fair, this year, would be bigger and
better than ever, with more magnificent
prizes for the exhibitors, and larger purses
for the races until another important bit of
information was made public.
The company has employed John Coco-
man, a professional horse trainer, to come
here and take charge of the track. Mr.
Cocoman is in Bellefonte already and his
family will move here at once. His work
will be chiefly the training of horses, so
that anyone having an animal that shows
speed will have the opportunity of having
it developed under the direction of a man
thoroughly qualified for the work.
Cocoman will be remembered as the
driver of “Queen Medium,’’ the gray mare
from Williamsport that took several purses
at the last spring race meet here. Aft pres-
ent only two horses are at the track, ‘‘Bil-
ly Howe,”” owned by John M. Shugert and
a young bay pacing mare that was bought
for John M. Dale, in Lexington, a month
ago. People who know the horse expect
“Billy Howe’ to go very fast this year.

A GREAT HUNGARIAN FETE. — The
Hungarian colony about Clarence made a
great event over the marriage of Annie
Katschik, the winsome daughter of George
Katschik, last Thursday. All the miners
laid off work, the Lehigh mines all being
closed, and the festivities began in earnest
at noon. From that hour until 4:30 in the
afternoon thirty-seven kegs of beer had
heen disposed of, in addition to many gal-
lons of whiskey and barrels of crackers.
After 4:30 our representative could not
keep count any more, but as the affair
wound up with a dance that lasted well
into the night it is natural to infer that
the thirty-seven kegs were only sufficient
to make the guests keen for many more
afterwards. The music for the dancing
was furnished by the bride. All of the
liquid and solid refreshments were sup-
plied by her parents but the usual custom
of passing the plate was followed ; the re-
ceipts from it, however, always go to the
bride and groom. It is a noteworthy fact
that not a fight or disturbance of any sort
occurred.

FELL FROM A BARN RooF. — Jerry
Sharer fell from the roof of the new barn on
the Samuel Hoover place in Taylor town-
ship, on Monday evening, and sustained
injuries that may prove fatal.
The barn had been raised only a short
time ago and Mr. Sharer was at work on
the roof when he started to slide off and
fell to the ground, a distance of thirty
feet. He alighted on his left side, dislo-
cating his left shoulder, smashing his left
hip, breaking his left arm at the elbow and
cutting an ugly gash in the side of his
head.
Mr. Sharer is about 60 years old and an
experienced barn builder, but he was un-
able to save himself when he started to
slide Monday evening. Dr. Musser, of
Tyrone, attended the injured man, but he
will be unable to tell for a few days as to
whether he is internally injured. Mr.
Sharer’s home is at Haunah Furnace. He
was taken to the Cottage hospital in Phil-
ipsburg on Tuesday.

delphia, secretary of the state society, de-
livered an appropriate anniversary sermon.

——Caterpillars are causing Nittany val-
ley farmers great-annoyance. Some of the
trees are almost enveloped in the gauzy
tents and the owners are in despair as to
how to get rid of them. A Buffalo Run
farmer who was in this office a few days
ago thinks he has an easy and effective way
of destroying the nests. He soaks a corn
cob in coil oil until it is thoroughly satu-
rated, then fastening it to a long pole that
has a sharpened nail in the end upon which
to fasten the cob, he has a splendid torch
with which he tramps from tree to tree,
burning all in sight.

to the rails. Both legs were crushed from
the knee to the thigh and the left arm was
torn clear off. At 11:30 that night a man
named Simcox found his body and it was
taken to Lock Haven, where he lingered in
a semi-conscious condition until Sunday
morning, when he died. Wilmert was 21
years old and unmarried.

will deliver the commencement address
before the class of 1901 on Thursday even-
ing, June 6th. The event is to be made
the occasion for infusing new spirit in the
alumni of the High school, with the hope
of effecting a permanent and working or-
ganization. Thereisn’ta particle of doubt
as to the influence for good an enthusiastic
‘alumni association could have on the under-
graduates of the school, if properly wield-
ed. There are so many ways in which the
graduates who have gone out into the
world might help those about taking the
step that the wonder has always been that
they are not in closer touch.

diocese have been fixed to include the fol-
lowing counties : Cambria, Blair, Somer-
sett, Bedford, Fulton, Huntingdon, Centre

by the Most Rev. P. J. Ryan, archbishop
of Philadelphia, and the Rt. Rev. Edmund
Prendergast, auxiliary bishop and vicar

THE MAN IN THE MOON.—As a mouey
making scheme we are not for “The Man in
the Moon,’’ although as a show it sized up
to most of the other requirements of an
amateur performance. It was given Fri-
day, Saturday and Monday nights in the
opera house and every night it furnished
entertainment and amusement for a big au-
diénce. About two hundred and fifty
young people and children were in the cast
and many of them did unusually well. In
deed some of them were so remarkably
good that our stage managers in the future
can select their actors without the trouble
of preliminary trials.
‘‘Around the World With the Man in
the Moon’’ is the fall title of the play, and
the interest is kept up with brownies and
fays and gnomes and maidens singing and
dancing. It isn’t over-burdened with plot
or tragedy but the Chinese boxers, here,
who parted company with their swell
fronts were well worth the price of admis-
sion alone. The cake walkers, too, were
prime favorites. They were almost as
good as professionals and were fairly even-
ly classed. When the judges gave the cake
to Esther Campbell and Charley Brackbill,
Saturday evening, the audience rose up
and demanded that Ione Donachy and
Louis Daggett and Rose Fauble and Fred
Chambers be accorded the same honors.
By Monday evening the rivalry between
the friends of the contestants had reached
such a pitch that bouquets as well as cakes
were handed over the foot lights to the
walkers. The six other participants were
Maud Koontz, Jesse Derstine, Adelaide
Woodring, Chas. Donachy, Bernice Shuey
and Arthur Grauer.
The other amusing and very popular
feature of the show was the ‘Mystic Gob-
lins and their antics. In that group were
Manie Joseph and Rich McCafferty, the
brownie policemen ; Ivan Walker, the
dude ; Frank Smith, the poet ; Montgom-§
ery Bair, the chinaman and Wm. McFar-
land, the Dutchman, who was about as good
an impersonator as you have ever seen.
Bernice Faxon and Bernice Haupt, as two
little pickaninnies, had their fall share of
applause and Roger Bayard, as Dragonfel,
fairly surprised his audience with his sing-
ing as well as his acting.
The comedians of the company were H.
P. and James Harris and the other notice-
ably prominent characters were Ione Don-
achy, George Harris Betty Heinle, Jennie
Harper, Louise Garman, Rassell Blair and
Raymond Russell. It was the kind of an
entertainment that pleases little and big
and old and young, and the performers all
deserve credit for it was not gotten up
without hours of practice and rehearsal.
Financially, though, it was not the great
success it was expected tobe. Only $50.50
was realized for the Library fund and even
that will not be entirely clear. The total re-
ceipts for the three nights amounted to $346.
54. Of that Mr. Hoffman got $135.00, the
expenses of the opera house, printing and
incidentals were deducted and the balance
was divided between the director and the
Library to be.

CoUNCIL IN SESSION.—Members Ger-
berich, Walkey, Derstine, Gherrity, Cun-
ningham, Whittaker and Potter were pres-
ent at council meeting Monday evening.
A communication from the burgess was
read urging the people to sprinkle the
streets early in the morning, instead of in
the middle of the day, as when first
sprinkled they become very slippy and
dangerous.
Four new brick crossings in the South
ward were asked for at the following loca-
tions : Centre county bank to D. Garman’s
residence on High street ; Brockerhoff resi-
dence to old Lieb property on Spring
street ; Brockerhoff residence to McClure
property on Bishop street and from Aiken’s
corner to Ed. Brown’s on Bishop street.
The suggestion was then made that the
stone secured from these crossings be taken
out onto Curtin street, dressed up and put
down there, as there are no crossings at all
on that street, east of Allegheny. This en-
tire matter was placed in the bands of the
street committee for investigation and re-
port.
The Water committee reported the
pumps at the water works running twenty-
four hours a day and the boilers in fine
condition, having lately passed inspection
of an expert. Upon the recommendation
of this committee Benner Graham was ap-
pointed water assessor for this year.
The Market committee reported the op-
ening of the curb market on Saturday, May
18th, with Thomas Shaughensy as clerk.
Mrs. Mary Blanchard was granted per-
mission to connect a sewer pipe, leading
from her property on Lamb street, with the
east Linn street sewer.

A NARROW ESCAPE.—L. 8. Frazier, of
Mill Hall, was driving along ths road a-
bove Mill Hall, Thursday, when the young
horse he was driving shied to a side. He
fell over the embankment onto the grind-
stone which was lying at that point and
was instantly killed. Mr. Fsazier jumped
from his meat wagon and caught on toa
telephone pole thus escaping injury. He
had only bought the colt a few weeks be-
fore and paid seventy-five dollirs for it.

A CominG CoNcErT.—The concert to be
given in the Presbyterian charch on Tues-

usually fine entertainment. Mr. Hahn,

ful playing, and isa finished artist. He
has played with the Boston Symphony
orchestra, Damrosch’s orchestra and other
famous orchestras as soloist.
Miss Rees has a fine contralto voice, and
has had great success in concert work.
They will give a delightful concert and one
that will appeal to everybody who cares for
music at all.
It is very seldom, if ever, that Bellefonte
has had the opportunity to hear such an
interesting entertainment.

Park, who was pastor of the Methodist
church here from 1875 to ’78 and who was
one of the chief instigators of the present
church building, was in town over Sunday
as the guest of former Governor D. H.
Hastings. He came here to lecture for the
Epworth League, Friday evening, and was
so pleased with the reception accorded him
that he remained in town until Monday.
His lecture Friday evening was first class.
The subject was ‘‘Pluck’ and while there
are not many new ideas to be presented
along that line he so attractively guised
the old ones that every one was pleased.
And the audience was a good sized one,
too. Sunday morning he preached in the
Methodist church to a large congregation
of all denominations and his great ability
was apparent from the beginning of his ser-
mon to the end.
