SHOEMAKER. — Mrs. Ellen Collins Shoemaker, wife of Edward Shoemaker, died Saturday evening at 8 o'clock at the family home, just north of town, after a short illness of pleural pneu- monia. ’Thongh Mrs. Shoemaker’s death was not so suddenly expected yet it was not surprising to those who knew her well. She had not enjoyed good health fora year and more and at times suffered so in- tensely with neuralgia that during the summer she had consulted several special- ists and spent some time in Atlantic City and Baltimore with the hope of getting re- lief. She allowed no one, though, to see her depressed and she resolutely refused to lay aside any of the responsibilities of her useful life until ten days before her death. Then she had a chill, the effects—it was thought—of a cold she had taken while out driving, several days previous, with her grand children to whom she was devotedly attached. And while no unfavorable symptoms developed until Thursday even- ing, and there seemed every chance of her recovery until that time, her family were alarmed about her from the first and a trained nurse or physician was with her constantly. : She was one of the Collins family who are well known throughout the State and who have been prominent factors in public affairs from 1834 when Thomas Collins, then a lad of ten years, guided Father LemkKki through the Alleghenies to Loretto to Father Gallitzin, the Russian prince and missionary. She was born and raised in Munster, Cambria county, and she was a daughter of Peter and Sarah Collins, whose eleven children were all remarkable for their fine presence and splendid characters. She was about 63 years of age and most of her life was spent in Ebensburg until 1885. That year her brothers, Philip and Thomas, and her only son, Thomas A., came here to build the Buffalo Ran railroad and the Bellefonte fur- nace and since then she has resided here with her family at their beautiful country place down on the pike. Gifted with rare intelligence, much personal charm and a most charitable disposition Mrs. Shoemaker was a fine representative of the best type of womanhood. In per. sonal appearance she strikingly resembled her distinguished brothers—she was un- usually tall and stately looking—aud in intellect and disposition she was still more like them. Though eminently fitted for leadership and with means and the very best social opportunities at her command she was pre-eminently a home woman. There she was the practical woman of af- fairs, the quiet, beloved friend and the gracious, generous hostess. She was a true christian and gave much cf her time and means to the services and interests of the Catholic church. Her private charities, too, were innumerable. She was constant- ly doing and caring for the needy and dis- tressed and she did it so quietly and un- obtrusively that it was never displayed for public applause. She is survived by her husband, her only son Thomas A. Shoemaker, the well-known railroad contractor and financier, her two sisters. Miss Elizabeth and Miss Sarah Collins, to whom her death is an irretriev- able loss, and one brother, Mr. Peter Collins now a resident of Philadelphia. Funeral services were held on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock and interment was made in the Catholic cemetery. The body with its pall of flowers was taken to St. John’s Catholic church and there high mass was chanted by the pastor Rev. P. McArdle, assisted by the following priests, Rev. John Boyle, of Johnstown, vicar general of the Altoona dioces2; Rev. J. J. Deasy, of Gallitzin and Rev. Philip Bohan, of Tyrone. The pall-bearers were H. E. Feunlon, A. J. Cook, J. L. Ceader. John M. Shugert, C. M. Parrish, J. M. Dale, John Blanchard and P. Gray Meek. ll I i. JouN M. PARKER.—John M. Parker, merchant and post-master of Roland, this county, died at his home on Friday even- ing after a short illness with pneumonia. While to all appearances Mr. Parker was a very robust man previous attacks of pneu- monia had left him in such a condition that he was quite susceptible tocold and when out driving during the ‘stormy period of two weeks ago he contracted a cold that soon developed into another caseof that dangerous trouble. Notwithstanding the most attentive work of physicians and nurs- es he sank rapidly until the time of his death. ge He was born at Jersey Shore in Nov. 1851, and was the son of A. T. Paiker, a leading resident of that place. Soon after his marriage to Alice Hale, in 1874, he lo- cated at Roland—commonly known as Curtins Works—where he became agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., servieg with efficiency in that capacity until about a year ago, when the large mercantile bus- iness he had built up meanwhile demanded his undivided attention. . He was also post-master of the town for yearsand had been repeatedly honored by election to the office of Justice of the Peace. ‘. Mr. Parker will be greatly missed in that community. His own success in life had inspired the confidence of all about hin so that be was their counselor and friend. He advised them in their moments of in- decision, comforted in trouble and helped in need Though a Presbyterian he was constant in his atiendance at the only church there—a (Methodist. Rev. Whar- ton of that denomination preached at his funeral Monday morning and that after- noon his remains were taken to Jersey Shore, where they were interred on Tues- day. Surviving him are his wife and the fol- lowing children : Mrs. W. Galer Morrison; of Bellefoute; Mrs. Rebecca Glenn, of How- ard; Kate, Trude and Paul, at home. His father and mother and five sisters and one brother also survive, namely : Mrs. H. M. Bidwell, of Bellefonte; Mrs. Oliver Glosser, of Linden; Mrs. Eva Snyder, Kate, Martha and William, of Jersey Shore. I ll ll Mgs. JoHN HousMAN.—Mris. Catharine Housman, of Gregg township, died at her home near Penn Hall, Saturday noon, af- ter a short illness of bronchitis. Mrs. Housman was 83 years, 1 month and 14 days old and had lived at her late home since 1836, when she was married fo John M. Housman, who died in 1888. She was of the noblest type of women, in- telligent, charitable, cheerful and energet- ic. In disposition she was gentle and lov- able, and she was most gracious, alike to poor and well-to-do. She was an earnest and active member of the Evangelical church until called to her reward. : She is survived by one daughter and three sons; Mrs. Baney, of Howard; Sam- uel, of Potter township; John, of Mill- heim, and Chas. at home, who took the best of care of his mother since his father’s death, and one sister, Mrs. Samuel Gobble. Rev. Koontz, of Spring, Mills, conduct- ed the funeral service in the Green Grove Evangelical church. Interment was made in the Green Grove cemetery. II- ll ll GEORGE RHYMESTONE.—One of Mill- o'clock Monday morning from paralysis of the heart, superinduced by a stroke of paralysis he had suffered at midnight Sat- urday. Deceased was 77 years of age and for a long time had been keeper of the toll- gate south of that place, though the later vears of his life were spent in retirement at his home north of Millheim. Deceased was a highly respected resident of that community and is survived by his son George, of Selinsgrove, and a daughter who is married and lives in the State of Indiana. His wife died fifteen or sixteen years ago. Interment was made Wednesday morn- ing at 10 o'clock. I il ll Mgrs. Danie CoNDO.—Mrs. Daniel Condo, of Walker, died at her home in that place about 1 o'clock Sunday after- noon, from the effects of old age. She was 83 years and 2 months old and for fifty-six years had been a resident of that section. It is not to be wondered at then that she was regarded by all as a Mother in Israel, $or she lived among them a peaceful, christ- ian life. Surviving her are her son, a daughter, three grand-children and two great-great- grand children. Interment was made at Jacksonville on Wednesday. 1. ——Murs.

All of the boarders returned to their hemes but two. The term just ended is generally considered the most successful in studies and athletics in the history of the Academy. The winter term opens on Tuesday, January 7th. ——Council met on Monday evening with P. H. Gherrity presiding in the ab- sence of president Gerberich but very little business was transacted. Upon motion of Col. Reynolds it was decided to order the board of health to fumigate the school buildings, owing to the prevalence of scarlet fever and diphtheria in the town. Bills to the amount of $409.25 were also ordered paid. ——The property of ‘‘Our Book Club,” an organization that has used room in the Presbyterian chapel on Spring street ever since its organization nine years ago, has been moved to the Y.

Ingram, of Brownsville, spent in Bellefonte looking for a wife who had quite upset his dreams of matrimonial contentment and long drawn out felicity. Charles had a long tale of woe to tell and, of course, found no trou- ble getting listeners by the score. His story was one of simple gullibility ; but he told it in such a serious way,and we know he felt badly over his loss, that one could not help but sympathize with him. Ingram, having failed in all other attempts, resorted to advertising in the effort to get a wife. His plea for a mate some how reach- ed the attention of Mrs. Annie Gebret, of Bellefonte. Now Annie was Annie Tipton, of Howard, until she married Samuel Col- lins Gehret, of this place. They lived hap- pily together until her husband began to ran away and leave her then she sued for a divorce and it was granted on Oct. 7th. Once more free to bestow her affections where she pleased she made up to Charley as warm as a mail courtship would permit. Accordingly they agreed to meet in Altoona and look each other over, then if all was satisfactory they would be married. They met there on November 14th and the next day the following marriage notice appeared in the Altoona papers : Married—At the Methodist parsonage, by the Rev. Horace Lincoln Jacobs, Charles W. Ingram. of Brownsville,Ohio,and Annie Tip- ton, of Bellefoute. Immediately after the ceremony they started for Brownsville, but before reach- ing Pittsburg Mrs. Ingram looked Charley over more critically and came to the con- clusion that he must bave thrown dust in her eyes when she got off the train at Al- toona. Aud that wasn’t the worst of it, either, for she told the unhappy groomthat he wasn’t as pretty as she bad thought he was. Then Charley tried to fix it up, but it wouldn’t go. Nothing he could say or do would make it right with the other balf of him until he suggested that he give her $10 and she should stop off in Pittsburg for a little tour of her own, while he journeyed on home to get things fixed up for her re- ception. This pleased the new Mrs. In- gram very much and while Charley didn’t like the idea of giving up his bride of a few houts so soon he was willing to make any sacrifice in order to get her more thorough- ly charmed. Accordingly, he continued the trip home, leaving Annie in the Smoky city and he never heard of her afterwards. He had learned that she had returned to Bellefonte, s0 he came on to get her or the ten, but to be honest we think he would sooner have had the woman, even alter all the trouble he had heen put to. When one of the per- sons to whom he had told his story here asked him if Annie had seen him before she married him he didn’t see anything sig- nificant at all in the question. Wednesday night he went to see Arthur Deming in “Don’t Tell My Wife’’ and for- got his own troubles in those of William Green, the unhappy victim of that play, but he left for Annapolis, Md., a day or so later without hearing anything at all con- cerning her whereabouts. A a FRANCIS ATWOOD TO JOIN THE WORK- ERS IN THE LATIN QUARTER IN PARIS.— Lately a great deal of interest bas been manifested in the movement to carry evan- gelical work into the great student settle- ment in Paris, where the Bohemian lives led by the young men of art and letters is gradually sinking to a level of degradation from which many of them are utterly in- capable of ever rising again. The crusade is to be carried right into the Latin quarter and, if possible, the grisette and the tank- ard will be driven out. The people of this vicinity will watch the progress of the work with more than usual interest because Rev. Sylvester W. Beach is going to organize and lead it. Rev. Beach isa son-in-law of Mrs. N. D. Orbison. He has just resigned the pastorate of the first Presbyterian church at Bridge- ton, N. J., to move to Paris, where he will settle in the midst of the three or four thousand American students there. Rev. Mr. Beach’s work will be among those young men and women. His family will be with him, and a home will be es- tablished where students will be always welcome. A service of song, with a short practical address, will be held every Sun- day evening, but the main influence will be sought through personal contact. As a friend and brother Mr. Beach will mingle with the students and identify himself as far as possible with their work and recrea- tion. : : “The habits of most of the students,” Rev. Mr. Beach explained, ‘‘render them difficult to reach. Many of them are skeptic- al and immoral. They care nothing for religion, and a minister pf professional manners and methods would repel them. But they are among the choicest youth of our land and are as susceptible as are all young men and women to the influence of sympathy and kindness. “Many Americans who visit the Latin quarter are impressed with the opportuni- ties for usefulness a tactful counselor would possess. Great results, such as figares will tell, are not expected. But the reward at- tending any quiet; humble, loving work for Christ is confidently looked forward to.’ Francis Atwood, the only son of Mrs. Emma C. Atwood, of this place, went with Mr. Beach to help in the work for six months. While Francis is quite young he has had some experience in Y. M. C. A. work and is so earnest and eu thu- siastic that he will doubtless sow some seeds of goodness that will bring forth rich harvest in due season. . Francis left here on Tuesday and they fine library will be located there. ‘‘Our Book Club’’ was conceived by Gen. James A. Beaver. It isan organization to which any one can helong by the payment of $3 per year. All of the funds are ex- pended in the purchase of books and the club now has a library of more than a thousand volumes, covering all the latest works of reputable novelists. sailed on Wednesday. ——Thowas Flack has left the U.

There was not a great deal accomplished, but some progress was made in the direction of tracing the title of the estate from Henry Pool to the descend- ants of the present day. The claim is against the United States government, and the heirs claim that it amounts now to $100,000,000. a ——1It will be a nice little holiday diver- sion for you to go to see the Durno-Emmett combination in the court house on the night after Christmas. The Plainfield, N. J., Daily Express has this to say of Mr. Emmett and as he is only part of the en- tertainment you may imagine what the whole will be : ‘‘Just previous to the final number, Hugh J. Emmet, the prince of entertainers, gave his side-splitting, saw- ripping, unconventional, ventriloquial, fun- nyisms, and kept his listeners screaming with paroxysms of laughter, for twenty minutes, and then he was not allowed to go. This artist certainly scored a greater success than any that has recently appeared in Plainfield.” ——— ee — A COMING ATTRACTION.—On the night after Christmas the ladies of the W. C. T. U. will offer you one of the best of the at- tractions in their season’s entertainment course. It will be the Durno-Emmett combination in which Durno, the eminent magician, has united his bewildering talents with those of Hugh J. Emmett, the clever violinist, to make an entertainment that is full of both mystery and art.
