Thé WATCHMAN has in past years
undertaken to publish a list of the trout
catches on. the opening day of the trout sea- |
son, but they were so small on Tuesday as
to be hardly a matter worth recording.
Various theories. have been advanced as
causes. Sowe fishermen say the water was
too high, others that it was too cold and
while both may have had something to do
with 16 the real reason is that the streams
in this section are depleted. They are over-
fished aud nnder-stocked.

MILDRED E. WAGNER.—The death of
Miss Mildred Estella Wagner at the home
of grandmother, Mrs. Sarah Wagner, on
south Spring street, Saturday evening ab
nine o’cloek, was not unexpected for though
she was out on the street only a few weeks
ago it was evident to the most disinterest-
ed observer that she was failing rapidly.
She had been ill for some time with con-
sumption and several of her acquaintances
anxiously urged her going to Arizona or
Texas, but she was not privileged to go
and was very hopeful that with the warm
days of spring her health would improve.
She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
Wagner Jr. and was born in Osage, Mitch-
ell county, Iowa, August 24th, 1877. She
came here when only a little child to make
her home with her grandparents and gradu-
ated at the High school in the class of "97.
She bad a most amiable aud kind dispesi-
tion and was, moreover, an excellent and
self sacrificing young woman. She had an
intelligent knowledge of financial affairs
and until her grandfather’s death had much
to do with his many business transactions.
She was a reliable member of St. John’s
Reformed church and actively engaged in
all its charitable and mission work. Her
life—short though it was—was fall and re-
plete of kindness and service for others and
her death will be sincerely mourned.
She is survived by her aged grandmother,
to whom she was most devoted, a sister,
Mrs. Howard Brubaker, of Woodstock, Ill,
a brother, John Wagner, of Altoona, and a
large circle of relatives. Funeral services
were held on Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock
from the Wagner home on south Spring
street with Rev. Ambrose Schmidt, of the
Reformed church, officiating. Interment
was made in the family plot in the Union
cemetery.

MRs. REUBEN GLENN.—The death of
Mrs. Mary Strouse Glenn, wife of Reuben
Glenn, at their home at State College, on
Sunday evening, was exceedingly sad. She
was a young woman whose entire life was
spent in service for others and three little
children were left motherless. She was only
sick two days and her death was brought
about by a fall which she had had a month
previous.
She is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Strouse and she was just a few
months past thirty one years of age. Her
home had always been in the vicinity of
State College where she endeared herself to
everyone who knew her by her genuine
kindness and unselfishness. She was most
energetic and industrious and her life, pos-
sibly, would have been prolonged for many
years if she would have complained wore
and worked less. She was a zealous mem-
ber of the Lutheran church and her pastor,
Rev. C. T. Aikens, assisted by Rev. Benj.
Gill, of State College, and Rev. G. M.
Glenn, of RoarinZ Springs, conducted the
funeral services on Tuesday afternoon.
Services were held at the house and in the
Pine Hall church and the body, with its
pall of beautitdl flowérs, was laid to rést in
the Pine Hall burying ground.
She is survived by her husband, three
little children, Charles, Edna and Joseph;
her parents, ‘five brothers and many rela-
tives andl friends.

hest known citizens, L. Scott Bricker, pass-

day evening at 9 o'clock, after a lingering
illness of tuberculosis of the throat. For
many weeks he had only been able to take
nourishment ‘through a tube but he en-
dured his sufferings with great fortitude.
He was almost 43 years of age and his en-
tire life was spent in or near Boalsbarg,
where he filled many positions of trust. Of
late years he had been engaged in the mer-
cantile business and no one’ever left his
store empty handed. His genial manner
and kind disposition made him may friends.
He had been a member of the Lutheran
church since; childhood and the entire com-
munity regreted his untimely death.
He is survived by his wife, two sons,
John and Charles, his mother, one sister,
Mrs. Berry Kramer of Punxsutawney, and
his brother Mitchell of Lewistown. His
pastor, Rev. Lescher, assisted by Rev. Black,

big, healthy looking young fellow but he

soon,and working constantly he bad not an
opportunity to regain his former health.

attention and kindness that his mother or
sisters could devise. He was only twenty-
one years of ageand he was as conscientious

the opportunities he had in this life and

rest and promotion.

and Alice Taylor Williams, five sisters,
Mrs. Reuben Harrison, Clara, Alice, Celia
and Louise and one brother Lawrence.

The trouble over the assignment of
Rev. Amos H. Baldwin, of Lock Haven, to
the Pine street Methodist church, Wil-
liamsport, has been finally adjusted by
Bishop Walden. Rev. Baldwin is made
presiding elder of the Juniata district and
Rev, Emory Stevens, who had been on that
district, has been sent to Pine street. The
trouhle all arose out of the refusal of the
Williamsport congregation to accept Mr.
Baldwin; his appointment having been
made by the last Conference here.

—— Frank Gamel. secretary of the Y.
M. C. A. has consented to give instruec-
tion oun certain subjects which have heen
intioduced in connection with the teachers’
Bible class held every Wednesday evening,
and whish, because of limited time, conld
not be discussed as fully as desired. The
time appointed for this instruction is every
afternoon of next week, beginning Monday,
the 21st, from 4 to 5 o’clock. The subjects
will be as follows : Monday, ‘‘The Won-
derful Word;’’ Tuesday, ‘‘Regeneration;”’
Wednesday, ‘*Consecration and Cleansing;"’
Thursday, *‘The Holy Spirit;”’ Friday,
“Prayer;'’ Saturday, any topic that may
be suggested. These talks will be given
in the Association hall and all interested
are cordially invited. They are free and
no collection will be asked for.
A XN EXPLANATION—A ‘mistaken thought
seems to prevail in the minds of many,
concerning the change of ownership in the
property now occupied by the Young Men’s
Christian Association to the effect that the
Association will be obliged to move in the
near future and that thereby a large part
of the money recently invested in improve-
ments will become a dead loss.
The facts are : First—By far the greater
part of all money spent in improvements
was invested in furniture and fixtures,
which can be removed and which would be
just as valuable in another building as in
the present one. The painting and paper-
ing are the chief items that cannot be
moved and nearly two years use will take
most of the shine off these.
Second —The present lease does not ex-
pire until April 1st, 03 and Dr. M. J.
Locke, the new owner of the property,states
that unless he is really obliged to vacate
his present quarters at that time, he will
be glad to give the Association a new lease.
The Association is grateful to its friends
for the many expressions of interest in the
matter and this statement is made by the
authority of the board of directors, that
all may have a clear understanding of the
facts.
Respectfully,
FrANK H. GAMEL,
General Secretary.

A NOTABLE LECTURER COMING.—DBelle-
fonte is soon to have an opportunity of
hearing Hon. Joseph Belford lecture. Aside
from the high place he occupies in oratoric-
al and political circles in New York Mr}
Belford’s visit will be looked forward to
with a keener interest because of the fact
that he once made Bellefonte his home.
A number of years ago he taught a pri-
vate school in this place. Though he met
with but indifferent success he was recog-
nized as a man of brilliant attainments.
After leaving Bellefonte he located in New
York city, where he attained prominence
as a lawyer and linguist and was sent to
Congress. He is coming to Bellefonte to
lecture for the benefit of Petriken hall and
because of his love for the cause and Belle-
fonte has kindly volunteered to come for
nothing. It will be a great treat to hear
the honorable Mr. Belford and while Belle-
fonte cannot claim him entirely she will
be glad to give him cordial welcome be-
cause he once lived within her gates.

-——Reading merchants have long had
the reputation of heing among the finest and
leading business men of the State. They
have prospered when those of other towns
were complaining of dull times and grew
wealthy while others eked outa slim liv-
ing. The reason is because they do bus-
iness on, business principles and act with
good judgment in matters that affect
them. It has a mercantile association of
over 200 which has just shown the good
sense to decide against all advertising
Schemes ou tside of the columns of news-
aper. The association declares that, io-
asmuch as ‘‘merchants in general have suf-
fered for years from constant! y increasing
solicitations for advertisements for hotel
registers, desks, bill board, blocks, key
boards, ‘charts, programs, tickets, cook
books, moving pictures, enunciators, enr-
tain advertisements, oil paintings and pam-
phlets, the members pledge themselves
that they will make use of no such forms
of advertisement. &

“John H. Landis; wito has been ap-
pointed superintendent of the mint in Phila-
delphia, to succeed Henry K. Boyer, isa
‘brother-in-law of Supt. F. H. Thomas, of
1] place. That the appointment is regard-
Led asa very satisfactory one is apparent
from the following editorial paragraph in
the Record. ‘The selection of Mr. John H.
Landis to succeed Mr. Henry K. Boyer as
superintendent of the United States mint
in this city is suitable both as a matter of
business and asa mattér of politics. As
chief coiner for several years past Mr. Lan-
dis has acquired familiarity with the work-
ing of the greatest of our money factories,
and his previous reputation as a staunch
partisan of the party in power rounds out
the measure of requirement. The retiring
superintendent brings to a close a satisfac-
tory incumbency of his own choice. He
has been both efficient and popular.”

——The Howe moving pictures are the
best in the world. They are not ‘‘said to
be the hest’’ or ‘‘reported to be the best,’’
but they ARE the best. That is the reason
the Loganssecured them for their benefit on
Tuesday night, April 22nd. The firemen
wanted something clean and amusing, to
which they could invite all classes without
fear of offense to any and, at the same time,
guarantee an entertainment fully worth the
price of admission. You will miss a good
show, as well as neglect to contribute to a
deserving benefit.

will locate, but wherever it may be we bespeak a
warm welcome for him. Certainly such a pleas-

HAppPILY MARRIED.—Surely Miss Anna
Kate Bell, who was united in marriage
yesterday morning to Samuel T. Brooks
the enterprising liveryman, must have
been supremely happy if the old saying
‘‘Happy is the bride that the sun shines
on’ is at all true. The ceremony took
place at the home of the bride’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. William Bell, at Pleasant
Gap, and was solemnized by the Rev. B. A.
Salter, of the M. E. Church, at 11 o’clock.
Sixty guests were present and a delicious
wedding breakfast was served after the
ceremony. The bride wore a very becom-
ing gown of white organdy and her sister,
Miss Mame, was maid of honor. Mr. and
Mrs. Brooks will spend their honey-moon
visiting friends and on Monday will go to
house keeping in the house next door to
Mire. Longwell’s on Spring street. They
are both deserving of the best that is going
and we wish them only good fortune and
happiness.

*‘CRANFORD.”—Which was given in
Petriken Hall on Wednesday evening, in
connection with the fair that is being held
there now, was as entertaining and dainty
a show as Bellefonte has had for many a
moon. The muchly lauded sextette in
‘‘Florodora’ are not a degree finer than
the young ladies who acted the characters
in Cranford. The stage furniture and cos-
tumes were as quaint and @sthetic as the
figures in an old print and combined with
the good acting it was a clever bit of com-
edy.

THE FEAST oF DAYS.—The fair that is
now in progress in Petriken hall is quite as
great a success as was antizipated. Those
who were not there the op ening days miss- :
ed a real treat, for the booths were decorat-
ed so artistically and contained by far the
greatest stock of well made articles that
bad ever been offered for sale at a bazar
here.

——Even if the Logans were not to re-
ceive one cent of benefit from the Howe
moving picture show on the 22nd it would
be worth your while to attend the novel
entertainment then to be given. But es-
-| pecially since it is to be a Logan benefit it
is more than that, it is yonr duty to see
that the house is filled to its utmost. Yon
will get your money’s worth in the show
itself. It will be worth more than the
price of admission, so this is your opportu-
nity to see something gocd and, at the same
time, help a good cause.
