- PERRY WILSON McDOWELL.—With the
passing of Perry Wilson McDowell Marion

township, last Thursday evening at seven
o’clock, having been critically ill only since
midnight of the preceding day.

from the north of Ireland, settled. He was
a son of William McDowell and Ann Alex-
ander, a daughter of Maj. Thomas Alexan-
der of Revolutionary fame. Of their seven
children Perry was one of the last surviv-
ors. His early life was spent about the
parental home where in the days of crude
machinery and rough land there was plenty
to occupy the time of the country hoy. In
1839 he made his first venture alone, going
to live on a small farm near Milroy. In
1842 he married Miss Catharine Conley and
took her to live on the little place. They
resided there but a short time, however, for

township, this county, and removed to it.

i| tion and located on a farm near Lamar.
This latter place he sold and. again moved
to Marion township, where he remained un-
-til he bought the place he still owns near

Mrs. McDowell died in 1897, from the
effects of a paralytic stroke, but all of their
five children survive. They are Mrs. J.
W. Blair, of Belle Centre, Qhio ; Mrs. Jas.
Allison, of Seman, Ohio; Mrs. S. H. Ben-
nison, of Jacksonville ; Mrs. J. E. Tibbens,
of Beech Creek, and Harry T., of Abdera.
Mr. McDowell was a man of distingunish-
ed ancestry and impressive personality. He
lived a long and useful life in Nittany val-
ley ; baving been prominent in the life of
that community and wielding an influence
for good that will have its effect on many
generations to come.

falo Ruu since. She was one of the frugal
and hard working women whose influence
for good has given such stability to the
German element of the country and from
the fact that she issurvived by eleven chil-
dren, all of whom are known for their un-
usnal size and sturdiness, as well as their
diligence and respectability attests to her
personality and worthy influence.

. THE GREAT CENTRE COUNTY FAIR.—
This being the last opportunity we will
have to talk to the people of Centre county
before the annual meeting of the Centre
County Agricultural Exhibiting Co., which
will be held on the fair grounds in this
place on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of next week, we think it but
proper to give you an adequate understand-
ing of what it will be.
In the first place it represents the best
and most elevating of amusements. It is
designed to encourage advancement in agri-
culture, stock raising, horticulture, garden-
ing, fruit growing and the domestic arts.
It is backed by gentlemen of known integ-
rity and honor and in every way possible is
being made to serve the long felt need of a
first class agricultural fair in Centre county.
Naturally those whoare opposed, for self-
ish reasons, to the fair will say that it is.a
money making scheme and that these men
are ‘‘not in it for their health.” Granted
that such is the case. Where under the
blue canopy of Heaven can you find an en-
tire day’s program of such good, wholesome
amusement and instruction in every branch
of industry in which you are interested as
is here offered you for the small sum of
25cts? But the fair is not altogether a
money making scheme. In fact it has not
made any money yet and is not likely to
pay even interest on the investment for
many years to come. Because it is only in
the formative state now. Next week yon
will be given an opportunity of judging for
yourself’ what a great thing the fair will
grow into and it is your duty as a ‘public
spirited citizen to take a part in helping its
menting the attendance.
The racing features are already assured,
the classes filling nicely. That favorite in
Centre county, the only one of the old fair
racing men who is left in the business,
Jefl Meadows’ will be here with a string
of five horses, including such fast ones as
Highwood Spider and Organ. Thereon
Powers, the horse that won the $1,000
stake race at Geneva, N. Y. last week, is
also entered and among other good ones
Gail, Graymont, Miracle, Joe Wilkes,
Worth, Drollery, Big Harry, Billy Obedi-
ent, Jim Saup, Hartford, Cuckoo, Dan W.,
Lillie Riekel, Glenco, Suzanne, Dan and
Alice W.
There are twenty-five entries in now
with more coming every day. The trask
is in splendid condition and the rain this
week was just what was needed to put the
finishing touch on it.
With fair weather we will have a great
fair next week. Let us hope that the
weather man will give us his best, for it is
certain that the. fair company will do the
same.

THE WORK OF ARTISTS —There are two
pastel portraits on exhibition in Blair's
jewelry store which are attracting much
attention because they are very excellent
portraits of two well known’ men, Gen.
Jas. A. Beaver and the late Rev. Mr.
White, of Milroy.
Even a novice in art will judge a por-
trait favorably when it is the WELL portray-
ed features of one who is familiar to him,
bat Sir Joshua Reynolds ‘says‘‘In portraits,
the grace, and, we may add, the likeness,
consists more in the general air than in the
exact similitude of every feature,” and it
is this general air which is so pleasing in
these two portraits, for with the similtude
of features there is harmonious blending of
colors and softness in outline obtainable
only in pastels. In all ages portraits have
been the most ambitious productions of
great artists and while oils have been
largely the medium, pastels are now win-
ning laurels, as they have the merit of not
oracking with age and can be more skill-
fully handled by the average portrait
painter. These portraits are the work of
Messrs. William L. Antrim and Marcus
A. Landsy, whose studio in Philadelphia
been spending some time in this part of the
State studying the originals of his portraits.
And in addition to what he is exhibiting
here he has done some very satisfactory
work in Lewistown and other places. He
will be in Bellefonte until next Tuesday
and will be glad to converse with anyone
interested in his work or desirous of sitting
to him while he is here.

‘A MYSTERIOUS FIRE.—A very myster-

was a cheap frame structure, was doomed
and their attention was directed to saving
surrounding property.
The place was run by O. H. Osman, who

Two REVIVALS. —For the revivals of
‘The Cattle King”’and* ‘The Bandit King,”
which aze to be presented by Mr James H.
Wallick this season, that manager has se-
cured the services of Mr. John J. Farrell,
an actor of well known ability, who will
be seen in the leading roles in both of shese
plays. These parts were formerly played
by Mr. Wallick himself, but owing to the
immense amount of business he has to at-
tend to in connection with his several or-
ganizations, he felt as though it was impos-
sible for him to undertake them. Conse-
quently he was obliged to look about for
some capable person to impersonate them.
At the instance of several well known man-
agers he concluded to engage Mr. Farrell
for these parts, and it is safe to say that
they wiil be in good bands. Mr. Farrell
bas all the accomplishments necessary for
the imupersonation of characters of the west-
ern border. He has a handsome face, a
good voice and a manly beariog,all of which
will serve him well in these characters.
Both plays will be elaborately staged
with new and appropriate scenery, and
many startling effects will be introduced,
notably the great trotting horse scene.
“The Cattle King’ and The Bandit
King’' will undoubtedly repeat their suc-
cesses of former years. These two plays
will be seen at Garman’s next week. The
