A western paper recently published the following criticism of the Cherry Sisters, who are just now before the public as something extraordinary in the song and dance line. The criticism is evidently not * regarded as fair by the terpsichorean wab- blers, for they have had the publisher sued for libel and the Supreme court of Indiana has thrown their case out of court on the ground that when they go before the pub- lic to kick up their beels they have no rea- son for complaint, if the public kicks at the kind of kick it is. The critic said : ‘Effie is an old jade of fifty summers, Jessie a frisky filly of forty, and Addie, the flower of the family, a capering monstrosity of thirty-five. Their long, skinny arms, equipped with talons at the extremities, swing mechanically at the suffering audience. The mouths of their rancid features open like caverns and sounds like the wailing of damned souls issued therefrom. They pranced around the stage with a motion that sug- gested a cross between the danse du ventie and a fox trot, strange features with pains- ed faces,and hideous mien. Effie is spavin- ed. Addie is stringhalt, and Jessie, the only one who showed her stockings, has legs with calves as classic in their outlines as the curves of a brcom handle.” ——Whether the ousting of the post- master in this county who refused to be bled for the benefit of the machine will strengthen the QUAY cause hereabouts, is one of the things we must wait to find out. The United telephone company in establishing its new toll rate of one-half a cent per word would make a heap of mon- ey were woman in business, generally, so they would have to use the long distance lines. The President's Originality. From the Johnstown Tribune. President Roosevelt is having his own way—or possibly Mrs. Roosevelt’s way and —about another thing; that is the livery of the White House attendants. The lat- ter have all been decked out in new suits, decidedly military in style, with white cord down the outside of the trouser leg, and a red, white, and blue cockade in the cap. There may be a little criticism to the effect that the Roosevelts are putting on style, but there seems no good reason why the people around the White House should not be uniformly and handsomely dressed, aod certainly we can’t have too much of the red, white, and blue the President’s home or anywhere else in America. But if the criticism on this point should be ever 80 severe, and even deserved, it is offset by the commendation the President has re- ceived for his stand against having dock- tailed horses in his stables. The indica- tious are that when the Roosevelts bow to a fashion it is usually a sensible one. Simple Cure for Lockjaw. W. W. Chesney, of Asbury Park, N. J., claims to have cured many cases of lock- jaw hy thissimple remedy : Put the patient in a bath of warm water and place in the water one pound of mustard. Immerse all except the mouth, nose and eyes. Cover the head with warm cloths, then add hot water until the temperature is 110 degrees, or if the patient can bear it 120 degrees. Keep the patient in until the jaws open, which usually takes about twenty min- utes, although some have been in forty minutes. Not a single failure in this treatment has ever occurred. Mr. Chesney says he has attended all cases without charge. Probably A Clue Evansville, Ind., Nov. 14.-It is now announced that the only clue so far found in connection with the murder mystery here that gives ground for any hope of clearing up the affair tends to bring under suspicion a man who for several years has kept company with Mis. Railey. Friends of the woman told the police that this man had shown a jealous disposition and had - gone so far as to send her letters threaten- | ing her. with death if she received the at- tentions of any other man. Interest in this line of investigation is increased hy the fact that some time Mouday a stranger went to the Railey house, in Clark street, during the absence of the woman, and destroyed all the letters in her possession. All the livery stables have been visited by officers, and it developed that the buggy in which the Railey woman went riding with her companion was not hired at any of them, but was the property of a friend of the man suspected. The suspect has nat yet been placed under arrest. The interal organs of Miss Lena Renner, the other woman found murdered on the outskirts of the city, have been examined ...by the coroner and physicans. Traces of morphine were discovered although not in quantity sufficient to cause death. This leads the police to believe that the woman was drugged by the murderer and that af- ter the victim became unconscious he ‘choked her to death. At the funeral of Mrs. Railey hundreds of people crowded the cemetery. Allison ‘in the Cabinet, Rumors That He Will Become Secretary of the Treasury and Cummins Senator. DEs MOINES, Ia., Nov. 18.- Rumors are circulated here to the effect that Senator Allison is to be invited into President Roosevelt's Cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury; that Governor-elect A. B. Cum- mings will succeed Mr. Allison as United States Senator, and that John Herriott will become Governor. Mr. Cummins address- es the Chamber of Commerce in New York city on Tuesday night. From New York he goes to Washington upon the invitation of President Roosevelt. Politicians here regard this as significant, believing a con- ference will be held on Thursday looking to Senator Allison’s acceptance of the Treasury Secretaryship and Mr. Commins’ elevation. ——Subscribe for the WATCHMAN, Our County Superintendent. A Timely Suggestion from Gregg Township. As the time is approaching to elect a county superintendent, a word or two in reference to the question might not be in- appropriate. It certainly ‘behooves the school directors to exercise their hest judg- ment and ascertain who is the most com- petent as regards to educational abilities to discharge the duties of tliat important office. It is not to be presumed that they will commit so grave a mistake as to elect for county superintendent,one whose quali- fications are limited and verge on mediocri- ty simply because the candidate is a ‘‘good fellow’’ and belongs to ‘‘our party’’—and if such would be the case, of coprse the directors know that friendshipand pol- itics should not be entertained for a mo- ment in electing a candidate for county superintendent. Friendship and politics should be mere empty words, and, like physic,thrown to the dogs. : Superiority, qualifications of the highest order, a college graduate and he who has made education the study of a life time are the requisites absolutely necessary in the composition of a county superintendent. The gentleman now occupying that po- sition has proved himself capable and his course has been highly satisfactory. He has heen elected twice to the position, and’ is again a candidate for a third term, buf why should he ask for another election ? He certainly has been sufficiently honored by serving two terms, to ask for a third savors of too much—and seems like drifting toward a life tenure and people generally look with disfavor and are averse to three terms for any office. Besides other town- ships have valid claims. Among their citi- zens are gentlemen of ability and edunca- tion thoroughly qualified to occupy the position, and why should they be set aside | and ignored? Gregg township, for in- stance, can be proud of Mr. Wolf and pro- fessor Hosterman, two profound scholars, and college graduates, gentlemen of refine- | ment and the highest order of intellectuality qualified to occupy any position requiring character and a wealth of education. Why should these gantlemen he overlooked and seemingly forgotten? Other townships, too, have citizens fully as proficient and learned as the two gentlemen referred to. They have their eqnals of course,but nosu- perior. It will indeed be a grievous fault to elect mediocrity to an important and re- sponsible office, when we have intelligence and ability of the highest order at our command. Would it not be well for the school di- rectors previous to electing a county super- intendent, to pause and reflect, to proceed in the matter wisely and slow, remembering the adage that they stumble who run fast. x ADDITIONAL LOCALS ——A.

There were about 2500 out to see the game, notwithstanding it was a very bleak, raw day. ai ——The coudition of William Schuyler, the young man who was brought here Sat- <urday afternoon fiom Centre Hall and tak- en to Dr. Hayes’ hospital on Spring street, is by no means encouraging.

Schrieber, the Philadelphia veter- inarian representative of the state board,and Capt. W. H. Fry, of Pine Grove Mills, made a tour of investigation through parts of the county on Tuesday and Wednesday. They first visited the vicinity of Spring Mills, where a large herd of dairy cows were supposed to be affected with tubercu- losis. The tests were applied but not a trace of the disease was discovered. The next place they visited was. that portion of Harris township in which hog cholera is said to be raging. On the farms of Jacob Meyer, Jacob Lee, the old Spang- ler place, and the Zeigler farm near Linden Hall sick hogs were found, but their troub- le is of a catarrhal nature and not cholera, 80 the veterinarians report. ——The Bellefonte Academy foot ball team went up to State College on Wednes- day afternoon, and lined up against the first team on Beaver field. The Academy boys were far lighter than their oppovents so it was agieed that they should not he subjected to any unnecessarily rough plays. The result was a very pretty, clean game in which the State team came off victorions by the score of 22 to 0, though when the second half ended the Academy had the ball on State’s two-yard line. In this con- nection it was amusing to watch the flop that the spectators took about that time. Of course it had been understood that it was merely a practice game to give State the opportunity to try a few new plays she proposes working against Dickinson on Saturday, but there was a large crowd of students out to watch it. Courteously enough they took sides with the Academy boys and cheered them on all they could. But when the cheering inspired the plucky youngsters to work the ball down to State’s two yard line and there was a danger of a score on the great blue and white things changed and the students: began to cheer the other way very vociferousiy. to say the least, very amusing. ess It was, Kips oF MANY CoLORS.—One of the most attractive of the childs’ publications for the year is ‘‘Kids of Many Colors,” a singularly interesting and unique work of 250 pages by Grace Duffie Boylan and su- perbly illustrated in colors by Ike Morgan. The hook appeals at once to the little folks because of the flaming style it possesses, | but underneath all the gaudy colored, gro- | tesque midgets, gobelins, hrownies and baby types of all races there are pretty lit- tle stories, told in the simplest thyme ; so entertainingly that they captivate the child mind at once. The book has real literary merit,as well, ior every story is founded on some historic fact or fiction concerning the race it deals with, so that in “Kids of Many Colors” we find a real combination of cute poetry, clever illustrations and matters that the children will profit by knowing. A better Christmas present would be hard to select for yeur child. It is pub- lished by Jamieson-Higgins Co., Chicago, and sells for $1.50, bound in cloth, with | embossing in form colors. oer SPECIAL COURT CALLED AND ADJOURN- ED.—The special term of court that had been called for this week convened, with Judge Love presiding, on Monday morn- ing, and the full quota of jurors aud wit- nesses in their places. Four cases had been listed for trial and it was expected that because they were land suits they would consume most of the week, but when court convened and all was in readiness to take them up it was learned that the Hon. Simon P. Wolrer- ton, of Sunbury, attorney for Monroe H. Kulp & Co., the principal litigants, ‘was sericusly ill and could not be in atten- dance. This necessiated adjournment, which was done that afternoon. Some minor court business was transact- ed. John M. Parker was appointed guard- ! ian for Frank R. Holt, of Roland, Pa., and { W. E. Brown for Augustus Sherwood Fet- zZer. The land cases that had to be continued were Monroe Kulp &. Co., incorporated, vs Nathan Houogh. Ejectment. Plea, not guilty. Emeline Hough vs Monroe H. Kulp, Gilbert Kulp and D. C. Kaseman, trading as Monroe Kulp & Co. Ejectment. Plea, not guilty. Emeline Hough vs Monroe H. Kulp, G. Gilbert Kulp and D. C. Kasewan. Tres- pass. Plea, not guilty.

EE A NEW LIME TRUST FORMED. — The WATCHMAN has previcusly published the details of the gigantic lime and stone trust that was proposed to include all the im- portant lime kilns and ballast quarries in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia under one corporation with a capital of $7,000,000. It also published an account of the failure of the proposition to be carried to completion. Now it is announced that a new trust is actually formed that is not quite =o large. It includes the Morris and Stevens oper- ations about Bellefonte and will endeavor to buy the McCalmont & Co. business out- right. The latter firm is not in the com- bination, but will probably seil if they get their figure. According to a Pittsburg dispatch, un- der date of November 20th, the Ame rican lime and stone company, incorporated some time ago at Harrisburg by dealers in limestone, in which : Pittsburgers figure largely, has concluded the hig deal which gives it the practical control of the lime stone interests in Central Pennsy Ivania. The company will hegin business with a working capital of $1,500,000, paid up by the properties taken into the combina- tion. As far as the present plans go the com- pany will absorb the interests of A. A. Stevens, of Tyrone; A. G. Morris & Co., and the J. King McLanahan interests in Huntingdon, Blair and Ceutre counties. The formal meeting of the company will be beld in the near future and the direct- ing officers chosen. The probable president will be A. G. Morris, of Tyrone, with A. A. Stevens general manager. The American Trust company of this city has taken up the entire bond issue of the new combine and will finance it, to a working basis. —— ——Miss Tieth, an artistic and stylish milliner, arrived in town Thursday to finish out the season at Mrs. E.

THE LUTHERAN SNXYOD AT PLEASANT GApP.—The northern conference of the Evan- gelical Lutheran Synod of Central Penn- sylvania met at Pleasant Gap on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. A large number of the clergy and laymen of the chuich was in attendance, conse- quently the session proved of a very inter- esting character. Rev. C. D. Russell opened the Snyod Monday evening with the communion ser- mon and it was announced that the gen- eral topic for discussion would be ‘‘the third Article of the Apostle’s Creed.” Tuesday morning there was a prayer service led by Rev. R. W. Mottern, fol- lowed by a short business session. From 10 to 10:45 a. m., there was a discussion on Augsburg Confession—Article II, of Origi- nal Sin, by Rev. H. C. Holloway, D. D., of Bellefonte. Next was a discussion of *‘the Holy Ghost,”” by Rev. J. M. Rear- ick. Tuesday afternoon’s Snyod opened at 2 o’clock with a half hour business session followed by a discussion on ‘‘the Chris- tian Church,’’ by Rev. J. A. Earnest, D. D.

Saturday his household goods will be offered for sale at his home, on east Lamb street, but he has not yet fully decided what he will do with the splendid library he possesses. A eee Mrs. ELLIS SHAFFER.—After a long and patient suffering Mrs. Jennie L. Shaf- fer, wife of Ellis S. Shaffer, of Madison- burg, passed into that great realm where suffering is not known on Sunday. She was 43 years, 6 months and 25 days old and it was doubly sad that her useful life should he cut down right in the full bloom of womanhood. For years she had been a working mem- ber of the Lutheran church, her services only ending when her health failed en tire- ly. Herhusbhand survives her. Funeral services were held yesterday morning at 10 o’cleck by Revs. Harman, Doerstler and Wetzel and interment was made in the Madisonburg cemetery. Safely, safely gathered in, Far from sorrow, far from sin; No more troubles, no more fears, No more sadness, no more tears. Farewell, dear wife, thou art at rest, And shall forever be. You could not stay on earth with me, But I can come to thee. Lonely our home and sad the hours, Since Jennie dear has gone; But, oh a brighter home than our’s. In Heaven is now for me. I i ll Mgrs. EMMA E. WALLACE.—Mrs. Em- ma E. Wallace, who is well known here where she has visited a number of times at the bome of her niece, Mrs. W. F. Reeder, died Saturday at her residence in Washing- ton, D.

She is survived by one son, Donald B. Wallace, of New York, avd two sisters, Mrs. M. W, Jackson, of this place, and Mrs. J. G. Har- ris, of Tock Haven. Her hody was taken to Lock Haven and buried from the Episcopal church there Tuesday after- Doon. i I I Mgrs. MARY KEEN.—Mrs. Mary Keen, relict of the late John Keen, passed away at her home in Millheim last Thursday morning, after a lingering illness with con- sumption. She was 78 years, 1 month and 20 days old and for sixty years had been a zealous member of the Lutheran church. Mrs. Keen’s maiden name was Bower. She was born in Haines township and was Mr. Keen’s second wife. Her three brothers, David. John and Daniel, and one sister, Mrs. George Bright, survive her.

Private funeral serv- ices were held Sunday afternoon. : CouxciL MEETING.—At the meeting of the town council on Monday evening the Street and Water committees had a mo- nopoly of the business transacted. Presi- dent Gerberich was in the chair and the following members were present: Rey- nolds, Knisely, Gherrity, Cunningham and Potter. S. A. McQuistion was present to ask that some necessary repairs be made on the crossing between his property and the U. B. church. Complaints were also made about the condition of the walks along the F. P. Blair property, on Willowbank street; the W. R. Shope, property on Reynolds avenue, and the Central railroad’s siding, on Lamb street to the gas works, which is uo longer in use. On Col. Reynolds’ motion the Street committee was instructed to find out to whom the railroad siding on Lamb street belongs. If to the railroad company it is to be repaired and if to the borough it is to be removed entirely in ten days. On Mr. Gherrity’s statement that the electric lights on the streets were not kept burning until daylight, the Edison company was notified to ‘keep the lights on until daylight and have the street globes cleaned. The report from the water works men- tioned some repairs, pumps running 24 hours, three sewers flushed hy request of the school board, and that people from out side the borough were hauling water from the town pipes. The water meters showed a la: ge consumption of water hy the hotels and livery stables and Mr. Knisely recom- mended that a railroad siding be built to the water works. He stated that the bor- ough had the right of way through the Ardell lumber yard and that it would be at a saving of $500 a year in the coal bills. The siding would cost about $700. Mr. Knisely’s suggestion was referred hack to his committee for investigation and report at next meeting. He also made known that coal had heen offered to the water works for $2.20 per ton, which is 15 cents cheaper than is being paid at pres- ent. Superintendent Rine admitted that there was a difference of 15 cents in the quality of the coal but a car load at the lower price was ordered for trial. An order was drawn for Col. Bayard for work on crossings out side the Diamond but for the paving about the Diamond his bill was held over. The following bills were approved and orders drawn : Board of health..

On Saturday morning, Oct. 26th, we—that is my daughter Annie and I—began packing our satchels prior to starting to the Pan- American Exposition and by. 11 a. m. we were ready to start for Howard, some 7 miles distant, where we were to take the train for Buffalo. Owing to the fact that our fall work was completed we left home knowing that we could easily be spared for a week so, with the best wishes of the rest of the family we started on what was to be the most enjoyable trip of our lives. 4 We departed from Howard on the fast line at 1.45 p. m. and at Lock Haven we made close connections with the Buffalo flyer and we were now traveling up the Susquehanna river valley at a rapid rate. We traveled on the P. and E. line until we reached Empor- ium, where we ran on the old W. N. Y. and P. road, which is now owned by the P. R. R. Co. and were I to attempt to describe the beautiful scenery along this line I am certain I should fail, so I shall pass on by simply saying thal the beatiful scenery and the very courteous treatment which we received of the employees of the P. R. R. Co. made the trip an ideal one in every sense of the word. I almost forgot to state that at Lock Haven we were joined by the Hon. Wm. C. Heinle, of Bellefonte, who is our Senator and I need not mention the fact that the trip was made all the more enjoyable of his being with us. At 7 40 p. m. we landed at the Central sta- tion, Buffalo, after having been on the road just five hours and fifty five minutes. We took a Broadway trolley car for Sloan, where we were royally entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Jere Ryan, who formerly lived in Curtin township and with whom we were friends inthe days of ‘Auld Lang Syne.” We retired at midnight, after having had a talk of the past and telling of the changes since last we met. On Sunday morning we started to the Niagara Falls which are about 20 miles dis- tant. At 11 a. m. we rolled into the station at Niagara and after winding our way down bridge street we now heard the roar of the mighty cataract and going farther down we now stood at the foot of the street beside the river. After wandering aimlessly around for an hour we sat down to eat our dinner, after which we walked over to Goat Island, which divides the river into two distinct falls—the American and Canadian or Horseshoe the former being 167 feet high and 1060 feet wide. The latter, though only 158 feet high, has a contour of 3010, more than 4 mile. In the centre of the Horseshore falls the water is of a deep emerald green hue caused by its great depth. It was on the other edge of the deep water that Mrs. Taylor made her perlious trip in the barrel to give notoriety and ac- quire some much needed cash. Fortune fa- vored : this one mortal but for this one thousands may be lured on to certain death, however, I am of the opinion that no real sane person, after seeing the magnitude of the falls, would attempt to go over them and I cannot look upon the person who attempts it as a hero, but as a lunatic or a crank. Well, we are still standing on Goat Island and can command a splendid view of the rapids, as they dash over the precipice. I shall not weary the reader with a lengthy description of this. Suffice to say that our view from here would amply repay us for the trip. We retrace our steps and are once more at the foot of Bridge street, we purchase tickets and start over the bridge that spans the river and joins Canada and the United States. We ride across the bridge as this is one instance in life where walking is no cheaper than riding. Arriving at the Cana- dian side we enter the hotel Lafayette and rest for a while after which we start to walk up toward the Canadian falls. As the sun- light falls upon the spray rainbows of marvel: ous beauty are formed, each a perfect circle. Our time being limited we start back to the depot taking with us as mementoes a few small shells and some green sprigs but in memory we carry with us a picture that will last during life, a picture on which we shall fondly gaze and around which will cluster many pleasant recollections. But as this trip must include a visit to the Pan American ex- position I must close the part that pertains to she Falls, by saying that at 8.30 p. m. once more finds us under the hospitable roof of the Ryan home, : We arise at 6.30 a. m. Monday, feeling quite refreshed and fully prepared for a day at the exposition, so at 9.30 we start and after a ride of 6 miles we arrive at tlie west end gate and immediately purchase tickets and enter, where oh ! the sights which greet our eyes are almost beyond description. We are farmers and the first large building which attracts our attention is the agriculture building, and upon entering this building the exhibits are marvelous. We find before us the choicest fruits and grains of the three Americas. Today is ‘Alaska Day” but we are here to take in the whole thing so after ascending the second floor of this building and standing in fancy in the Grand Canyons we hasten to the Stadinm where we spend some time. Then sit down on one of the benches and eat our dinner from a lunch basket. We thenenter the machinery building and spend ashort time gazing on the wonderful strides made by the mind of man in the invention of modern machinery. The various state build- ings were a credit to their States. We have now reached the midway and as we pass down the street we are startled at the noise. They call it music. First we en- ter the Streets of Mexico and we find it to be a fake, but as we were not charged any ad- mission we will not complain. We pass on down farther and the noise made by the spielers is almost deafening as they tell you what you may see on the inside for the small sum of a dime or possibly 25¢, and as we are sauntering down farther still we come to the Hawaiian village and find our friend the Senator among the crowd. We have neither the time nor the inclina- tion to enter any of the shows, only Bostocks animal show and the trip to the moon. We are compelled to forego the animal show but we are unable to resist the temptation to take a trip in the air ship Luna and after spending the greater portion of an hour in this place we come out feeling that we have received our money’s worth as this company not only gives an interesting entertainment but one which is highly instructive as well. We find the day is drawing to a close and that we have many places to go yet and things to look at. We next enter the Temple of Music. This seems to be the Mecca for all the visitors, for so great is the throng of people who are at- tracted to the building where the immortal McKinley was shot. I find we are being car- ried along by the crowd and presently we are marching single file between railings and I notice we are approaching a space enclosed by railing and a policeman is stationed there to keep the people on the move. AsI came nearer I notice the people in front of me are lifting their hats as they pass this space I see as I reach it that there is a gold star tacked on the floor marking the spot where our be- loved President stood when he received the fatal shots and all people in passing the spot remove their hats in honor of the memory of the man whose name will ever be coupled with those of Washington, Lincoln and Gar- field the man who was school teacher, law- yer, soldier, statesman, governor, president and marytr. We pass on from this building to the Alaska sod house. which by the way is simply an eating vlace and there we satisfy the inner man. Itis now getting dark and we enter the Ethuology building. We find in this building many things of interest one of which was the exhibition of skeletons taken from a prehistoric cemetery in Ohio also the devel- opment of the salmon fish. Zs As we come out of this place the Electric tower and electric building is illuminated and I find that though I have been looking on many wonderful things during the day yet the electrical display far excels them all, for look where Emay I see such beautiful ef- fects as to cause one to stand still in wonder and it is all the more wonderful, since it is caused by harnessing the mighty power of the Niagara. We were so very tired that we find we must leave the grounds so as we re- luctantly start for Sloan we realize that we have only seen a very small portion of this the greatest of all Worlds Fairs or exposi- ions. On Tuesday we start out to visit the wharves and do a little shopping in order that we may be able to take something home to each of our loved ones at home.
