Democratic County Convention.
A reconvened meeting of the Democratic
County Convention of June 3rd, 1902, will
be held in the court house, at Bellefonte,
on Wednesday, October 1st, 1902, at 11.30
o’clock A. M., for the purpose of nomina-
ting a candidate for Coroner, and any other
business that may come before the conven-
tion. All delegates elected at the Demo-
cratic primaries on May 31st, 1902, are
requested to be present either in person or
by proxy. By order of
. ELLIS L. ORVIS,
Attest : Chairman Democratic
JOHN J. BOWER County Convention of '02
Chairman Democratic
County Committee.
The Democratic Spell-Binders.
* On Monday next the Democratic candi-
dates will begin their tour of the State, the
initial meeting being fixed for McConnells-
burg, Fulton county, whence they will
cover the Cumberland and Juniata valleys
and reach this county in time to attend the
Granger’s picnic at Centre Hall on Wed-
nesday at noon. On the evening of the
same day they will be in Huntingdon, and
end the week in Altoona. It is a strenuous
itinerary and will tax botn the physical
and mental resources of the gentlemen
participating. But it will bring the candi-
dates and the spell-binders face to face
with a vast number of voters and ought to
be productive of much good.
Governor PATTISON has always been a
favorite in Centre county and his coming
visit will be more than usually auspicious.
His associates on the ticket, Hon. GEo.
W. GUTHRIE and JAMES NOLAN Esq., are
equally deserving with himself and con-
spicuous for the same virtues which have
made him popular. That is they are gen-
tlemen who have invariably held the in-
terests of the public as above those of the
individual and their duties to the com-
munity as equally if not more binding than’
those to themselves. The visit of three,
such unselfish and patriotic gentlemen is,
"an event of unusual importance and the
people should reveal their appreciation by:
a‘'generous exhibition of courtesies.
“Of the election oi the Democratic ticket
this year there is no longer any doubt. The’
desperation of QUAY as shown in his’
criminal attempt to capture the convention,
of the Union party is the best: evidence |
that he has lost hope of electing his candi-|
dates. But this is not the only proof on
the subject. The activity of the Demo-*
cratic organization, the enthusiasm of the |
Democratic people and finally the determi- |
nation of Democratic leaders to prevent the
usual frauds in the big cities combine to
create hope and inspire confidence among |
Democrats. . We sincerely hope that Cen-
tre county will not’ prove laggard in this
important campaign.” © "© "©

Needs a Defense:
The untruthful and brutal attack made
on sheriff BRUNGART Ly the ‘Gazette last:
week will hurt no one. It will not injure
the sheriff because he is known in! every
part of the county, and known as a man of
the highest character who wonld scorn to
do an unjust act to anyone and whose
reputation for truth is so far above that of
the unprineipled sheet that assailed him,
that a comparison between the two is out
of the question. It won’t hurt the Gazette
because nothing it: can do or say can lower
it any in the estimation of the public. It
has long since earned the reputation of
being the pitiable source through which
its mercenary owner attempts to levy trib-
ute on public officials and others and fail-
ing in such efforts uses it as the medium
through which he squirts his venoms at
those who refuse to be bled or blackmailed
by him.
Sheriff BRUNGART needs no defense from
statements coming from such a source. The
knowledge the people have of him, the
confidence they have in his sense of duty,
his manliness, his entire truthfulness, and
his innate-kindness of heart, places him
far above the reach of the weapons used by
the scurvy dog that barks and whines at
him through the Gazette.
It is a waste of time to give further at-
tention to it.

Baer Will Resign it Morgan Acts.
President of Anthracite Railways
Determined
There Shall Be No Interference. !
It J. Pierpont Morgan intervenes in the
coal strike or endorses any plan involving
arbitration, president Baer, of the Reading
system, will resign, and presidents of the
other anthracite railways, it is said, will
adopt a similar course.
This statement was made by a prominent
railway man Wednesday night, who, how-
ever, qualified his declaration by affirming
that Mr. Morgan would not intervene.
WOULD NECESSITATE WITHDRAWALS.
He pointed out that any direct attempt
on Mr. Morgan’s part to settle the strike
by going over the heads of the presidents
of the railways would be a repudiation of
their methods and would necessitate their
withdrawals from the management of their
several companies.
‘Politics and ambition have sought to
force themselves into this struggle,’ it was
stated, ‘‘without sincerity or genuine feel-
ing for the public, the miner or the opera-
tors. It would be folly to let the people
who are seeking to make capital out of this
trouble upset the plans of such men as Mr.
Baer and Mr, Truesdale. These officials
planned a line of battle and have adhered
to it unwaveringly for four months. They
could do nothing but quit if overruled in
order to suit interests that seek selfish gain
out of it.”
A break between Mr. Morgan and his
ablest lieutenants would be an unheard of
proceeding and would result in widespread
disorganization.
BAER GAVE ULTIMATUM.
Mr. Baer’s statement of last week to |
Senator Quay and Penrose, it was stated,
is the ultimatum of the operators, in that |'
investigation and adjustment of grievances
was promised, but no arbitration amend-
ment to that will be accepted.
Mr. Morgan favors the proposition to
have tke men return, and endorses the
promise of an adjustment of grievances, to
which he is willing to add the right to
arbitrate afterward, if the miners are dis-
satisfied. But it is not believed by Read-
ing interests here that he would persist if
he bad to face the resignations of the presi-
dents of the anthracite roads.
Taking Steps to Restrict Emigration.
VIENNA, Sept. 10.—The Hungarian gov-
ernment is taking steps to adopt stringent
measures to regulate and restrict emigra-
tion. The ministry of the interior has pre-
pared a bill which will shortly be introduc-
ed in parliament, whereby all emigration
on the part of men is forbidden until after
the performance of military service. The
bill also provides for strict control of emi-
gration agencies and transportation com-
panies and prescribes severe penalities for
persons attempting to induce emigration
by means of misleading statements or over-
flowery advertisements.
Labor Looks to Pattison
Railway Workers Lead the Way in Demanding His
Election in the Interest of all the People.
AU Harrisburg on Monday the State
Legislative Board of Railroad Em-
ployes announced that it had indorsed
Hon. Robert E. Pattison for governor.
When it is known that this board rep-
resents about 65,000 railroad men, al-
most all of whom are voters, the sig-
nificance of this action is apparent,
and its importance cannot be overesti-
mated. Byron J. Austin, of Philadel-
phia, offered the resolution, and it
was seconded by Thomas T. Sheridan,
of Conemaugh. It is as follows:
Resolutions Indorse Pattison.
‘Whereas, The present political regi-
me in this state has proven that no
good can be expected from it, judging
from the actions of the last legislature,
in that various “ripper” bills have been
enacted and executed, together with
the grabbing of valuable franchises
given to corporations, without restric-
tions, and the legislature as a whole
| going on record as being the most cor-
rupt body ever known to exist in the
state of Pennsylvania; and,
‘Whereas, Legislation in the cause of
labor has not been given proper. recog- |
nition, in that bills presented for the
improvement of the condition of the:
‘wage worker of this state have failed
to pass; and
‘Whereas, The only method by which
the corrupt and. domineering govern- |!
ment, with selfish intentions, and en-
trenched by many -years-of machine |
rule. can be reformed is to cast the bal-
§ lot for me opposing candidates; there- |:
fore, be i
i That we, the State Legis-/|
lative Board of Railroad Employes, do
hereby indorse the candidacy and adyo-
cate the election of Robert E. Pattison
for governor. believing that thereby the.
commonwealth may once more be re-
stored to the party of the immortal
Lincoln—the party “of the. people, by.
the people and for the people.’
Notification Committee Nadied.
The resolution had no opposition,
and it seemed, as one present said, as
if there was a general desire to stamp
the seal of condemnation on the legis:
lative grafters and at the same time
express their preference for a guber-
natorial candidate who would check
the rule of graft and plunder. The
committee then decided that a com-
mittee of notification should be ap-
pointed to notify Candidate Pattison.
A resolution was also adopted indors-
ing the labor .candidates, wherever
nominated i the state.

Ave Yow More Prosperous !
From the Lansford Reeord.,
The best way to arrive # whether the
average man is better off to-day than he
was in 1897, is to figure the cost of living
to-day as compared with that time, together
with wage earning capacity at that time as
compared now, A bill of goods consisting
of salt, sugar, spool cotton, sole leather,
bleached sheetings, dress goods, kerosene
oils, axes, and other things which cos: at
wholesale in 1897 $43.04, cost $55.35. If
we add to these wholesale prices 33} for
retailers profit (and this is an exceedingly
small addition for such profits) we find
that the retail price of this bill of goods in
1897 was $57.39, and that the identical
articles in 1901 cost $73.79. This wonld
require about ten days extra work to pay
for the bill over 1897. If on the other
band it was a farmer who bought the bill
it required seventy-two bushels of wheat
| to pay for it in 1897, while in 1901 it re-
quired one hundred and two bushels to pay
for the same ‘bill.

A NoteEp WoMAN—Rev. Anna H. Shaw,
who is advertised to speak in Petriken hall
on Wednesday evening, Sept. 17th, is a
woman of world wide reputation. Though
born in England she was reared in Michi-
gan, and in the pioneer days. The coun-
try was wild, and she breathed in the spirit
of freedom, and is to-day as crisp as the
frosts of those northern forests in which
she wandered in her childhood. Her wit
is as keen as the wind of the northland,and
as delightfal and rich as the balsamic odors
borne thereon.
She was educated for the ministry—edu-
cated herself. She is a selfmade woman. If
any other body made her what she is, that
other body might well be proud of the
work. Young girls with their own destiny
to hew out should go to hear the Rev. An-
na H. Shaw and take courage. She stud-
ied medicine, prepared herself to doctor the
body and soul, was ordained, and preached
for one parish seven years; and then she ex-
changed the small parish for a larger one—
that is, the world for her parish, and the
enfranchisement of women her gospel.
Miss Shaw has repeatedly spoken before
congressional and legislative committees.
Whenever women have a ‘‘case in court,’
that is, a bill before a legislative body, they
send for Miss Shaw to speak. She isa born
orator; bas a magnificent voice which she
never spares, but which endures without
impairment most severe ‘usage. Few wo-
‘men and few men are so well equipped for
‘public speaking as the Rev. Anna H. Shaw.

CENTENNIAL OF THE PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH.—The Presbyterians of this place
have been showing unusual interest in
their church and its records this week in
commemoration of its establishment one
bundred years ago. On Sunday morning
Rev. Dr. Laurie took the history of the
church as the subject of his diszourse and
made of it a most interesting and excellent
sermon from which the following facts
were taken.
The church at this place was instituted
in 1802, Rev. Henry Wilson being the first
pastor, who was installed in 1803,and serv-
ed as pastor for seven years. He was suc-
ceeded by Rev. James Linn. The salary
received by Mr. Wilson was $400 per. year.
When Mr. Linn was called the salary was
increased to $500, and: besides preaching in
Bellefonte his field was extended from Ju-
lian to Jacksonville, or a distance of about
26 miles.
He continued serving the several obich
es until 1839, when Bellefonte secured his
entire time and service. He remained as
the minister in charge until 1868, when he
closed his earthly career, after a pastorate
of 58 years, at the time of his death: being
85 years.
dene to the infirmities incident to age
the congregation in 1860 relieved him of a
ortion of his labor by calling,as co-pastor,
Dr, Joseph H. Barnard, who remained for
8ix years, resigning to accept another call.
He was succeeded by Rev. Alfred Yoemans
who occupied the position of co-pastor at
the time of Dr. Linn’s death. He remain-
ed for a short time as minister in charge,
when he also accepted a call from a church
in New Jersey.
In 1869 a call was made to Rev. W. P.
Wiley D. D.,who remained until 1876, when |
Rev. William Laurie, the present pastor,
suoceeded him. --The-degree- of Doctor of
Divinity was gonterted, upon Dr, Laurie in
1886 and that of Doctor of Laws in 1898.
The first church building was erected
upon the same site as the present com.
modious structure in 1819, at a cost of
$2000. In 1840 this building was torn
down and a new one erected ata cost of
$8000; this building proving inadquate to
accommodate the increased number of
members wae also torn down, and the pres-
ent church home was built in 1868 ata
cost of $35,000. The chapel building, ad-
joining the church, was built in 1883 at a
cost of $17,000. "The congregation also
own a handsome parsonage, which cost be-
tween $7000 and $8000 and not one dollar
of debt is owed to anyone.
Since the organization of this church it
has been the parent of five Presbyterian
churches viz: Moshannon, Bald Eagle,
Milesburg, Buffalo Run, and Winburne.
The membership of the church today is
four hundred.
The amount of money contributed
during the first fifty years for the several
Boards, Congregational and Miscellaneous
expenses, as far as could be ascertained
amounted to $13,000. During the next
twenty-five years the amount contributed
was $121,612. and in the last twenty-five
years the contributions reached the sum of
$181,875.
much larger crowd than was expected at
the annual picnic and reunion of the Cen-
tre County Veteran’s Association at Hecla
park on Saturday. The crowd numbered
about one thousand, there was good music
by the State College band and an ideal fall
'| day to add to the exhilération of this annual
meeting of the old boys in blue.
At the business meeting of the Associa-
tion, in the afternoon, it was decided to,
hold the next annual reunion at Pine Grove
Mills, at a time to be selected by the exec-
utive committee... Officers for the year
were chosen as follows : President—James
A. Beaver; vice presidents—Capt. W. H.
Fry and W. C. Patterson; treasurer—Capt.
Geo. M. Boal; secretary—W. H. Musser;
assistant secretary—Samuel B. Miller.
During the day the State College and
Howard base hall teams played on the ath-
letic field and the State College boys. went
down before the invincible Howard aggre-
gation by the score of 10 to 2.
Esquire Reifsnyder Has a Word to
Say.
Millheim, Pa., Sept. 3rd, 1902.
To the WATCHMAN :—1I noticed an article
in last week’s WATCHMAN in reference to
the libel suit which emanates from the
same ‘‘citizen,” who wrote the notorious
Journal fabrication, alleging that I pro-
nounced the Winters case not small-pox,
which might be trne. I did not say so.
This citizen also claimed that Winters was
isolated, when the facts are that he was
penned up with another family in the same
house for seventy days, which was very in-
significant to this citizen, but utterly re-
pudiated by the sober citizens and taxpay-
ers of this place. I don’t think a person
would be competent to give expert tesbi-
mony, who says he never saw a case of
small-pox.
The grand jury came to the conclusion
that an editor who inserted an article in
his paper and refused to give the name of
the author, libeled himself more than any
‘one else and is of such small calibre that he
was not responsible for any damages.
