Hayes was called in: consnltation with Dr. Coons, of Scotia, re- cently on the case of Mrs. Daniel Harpster, of Buffalo-run, whose condition baffled a satisfactory diagnosis, until Monday, when they decided to operate on her. They found that a large abscess had formed in her abdomen; caused by a portion of a tooth pick, which she had evidently swal- Towed. It passed through the stomach and into the intestines where it made a perforation and caused the abscess. ——Auvudrew H. Knisely, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Hunter Kuisely, of this place, was married to Miss Leona Wetzel, of Shamokin, on the 30th ult. Their wed- ding was celebrated in Lebanon by Rev. A. W. Back, of the Evangelical church. An- drew lias heen located at Shamokin for sev- eral years and has been meeting with mark- ed snceess in the bakery and confectionery business. He and his young wife went to Lebanon to be married in order to escape being the victims of a joke friends threat- ened to play on them, but upon their re- turn Audrew did the handsome thing by giving a banquet at which more than one hundred covers were laid. STATE COLLEGE FRESHMEN OUTWIT THE Sopns.—The annual banquet of the Fresh- men of The Pennsylvania State College is a function that has to be carried out, some- times at hazards that rob it of most of its pleasure as a gastronomical event, but only adds to the keen satisfaction of being able to have it at all. It isan unwritten College law that the Freshmen must have a banquet and there is another clause in the same act authorizing Sophomores to deny them that pieas- ure, if possible. So the having or not hav- ing resolves itself intoa question of physic- al supremacy or surpassing scheming. Many heads have been badly battered up, clothing reduced to the rag poke condition, rail road cars stoned, trains uncoupled and even legs broken in these scraps between the two ciasses when the Sophomores have discovered the Freshmen about to start off for their banquet or have overtaken them en-route, as has been the case in recent years. But last Monday the Freshies sprang a great coup on the older men. Monday night was not to be reckoned as a probable ban- quet night and they had that in their favor. The whole thing was so carefully planned that when the time for the departure of the noon train from the College arrived Fresh- men seemed to rise right up out of the ground surrounding the station. More than one hundred of them were there in less than five minutes and before the Sopho- mores had an inkling of what had happen- ed they were steaming on their way toward Williamsport, the scene of their festivities. About 4 o’clock fifty Sophs arrived here in their fighting togs expecting to overtake the banqueters, but they had flown on the 2:40 Central train. It was not possible for the Sophs to reach Williamsport before 10 at night, but they were not loath to give up and acknowledge themselves outwitted so they went on to that city on a night train. There they found the happy Freshmen at the Updegraff, which was surrounded by a strong cordon of policemen. For a while the situation was threatening and the offi- cers fearing that they might be overpower- ed called upon the chief of the fire depart- ment for a hose cart with which to drench the menacing students, bat it was refused by the mayor who offered to swear in dep- uties if they were needed. There was no clash, however, as the Sophomores withdrew when it finally soaked into them that they were helpless to keep the Freshmen from enjoying the sumptuous feed that had. heen prepared for them. : EE a i. AMATEURS 8ING NELL GWYNNE.—The opera ‘‘Nell Gwynue,’’ which was sung at Garman’s, Saturday night, under the per- sonal direction of ‘Mrs. A. C, Farrish can scarcely be-accredited with having added to the suodesses scored by other amateur pro- ductions ‘of the same character in Belle- fonte. It was pat on under conditions ‘most trying to the directress and those who took part. Owing to circumstances which conld not be obviated several of the princi- pal roles had to be substituted within ten days of the date ses for the performance and then the failare of the costumes to get here as. intended for the Friday night engage- ment was such a disappointment as to take cerned. itself was responsible for the rather unsat- isfactory result. . It: is not nearly as well might have been selected. It seems to lack any choruses with that swing that -makes light opera airs catchy, the solos are, for the most part, tedious and difficult and the comedy vot disseminated well enough to keep the opera lively. the chorus sang admirably, but the opera is one that would not please many people if sung by professionals. Taking all these conditions into consideration we congratu- ‘late the company that they handled it as well as they did and we feel certain that nad they put the same talent and training -into most any other of the light operas ‘within range of amateurs they would have scored an immense hit. —o0e— How FRANCIS RHOADS DIED.—In last week’s issne was published the announce- ment of the death of Francis S. Rhoads, which bad occurred in Seattle, Washing- ton, the previous Wednesday. At fthat time nove of the particulars conld be ascer- tained, farther than that his death had heen caused by asphyxiation. The body reached hie howe here on Wed- '| nesday morning; having been accompanied from Chicago by his brother Joseph, who went out to that city to meet the gentle- man who accompanied it from Seattle to that point and. learn the particulars. Ac- cording to the story he learned Frank was found dead in bed on Wednesday morning. He was lying in a perfectly natural position and the indications were all to the effect that he had just slept away. Physicians were summoned at once and every effort made to resuscitate him, but it was too late. It is presumed that in turning out the electric light, which is on the same fixtures as the gas jet, his sleeve caught the key of the latter and turned it on enough for the gas to escape. As the gas is of an odorless kind in Seattle he did not notice its escape and was asphyxiated after he had gone to sleep. Funeral services will be held as his moth- er’s home on west Linu street this after- noon at 3 o’clock. Se —— Jacob Transue, a son of Stephen Transue, of Mackeyville, was hurt while at work on a rail road near Bradford.

There is no question but that the opera adapted for amateurs as mavy others that’ There was talent enough in the cast and: MRs. BENJAMIN BoDLE.—Mrs. Nancy Tate Bodle, widow of the late Benjamin Bodie, died at the Bellefonte hospital on last Thursday night rather unexpectedly. Mrs. Bodle had been in a critical condition for some time, suffering with hernia and if was finally decided that her only chance of life was in an operation. She was brought to the hospital here from her home near Hunter's park on the Monday previous and after the operation, which was the six- ty-third of the kind that has ever been re- corded in medical annals, she showed every indication of recovering. The physicians were very much encouraged by her improve- ment and that her life was spared as long as it was led them to believe that eventuai- ly she wouid get well. She was a mostin- dustrious and diligent woman and her life of hard work had so weakened her consti- tution that it finally refused stimulation. Mrs. Bodle was a daughter of William Tate and her entire life of sixty some years was spent.on or.in the vicinity of the Linn farm, near Hunter’s park. Her husband, Benjamin Bodle, preceded her to the grave three or four years ago and she is survived by their one son, William J., and his fam- ily of children who made their home with her. Her body was taken to her home on Friday morning and the funeral services were held on Sabbath morning at 10 o’clock by her pastor, Rev. E. L. Eslinger, ' of the Filmore Methodist church, of which she was an earnest member. Interment was m ade in Meyer’s burying ground. li Yeositrnl JACOB G. SHOPE.—On the morning of Feb. 3rd, the death of Jacob G. Shope, of Milésburg, occurred. Mr. Shope was well known in Centre county, having resided at Milesburg or in its: vicinity during his en- tire life of 76 years, 4 months and 17 days. He was ill only a few days. iy He was a good citizen and well respected by the community and all. who knew him. Ot course in the home his excellencies were hest known and appreciated. 1 He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary A. Shope and six children, as follows: Wesley, of Snow Shoe; Mrs. M. C. Adams, of Philipsburg; William and Thomas, of Milesburg; Lydia and Edward, at home. Besides these be is survived by three broth- ers and one sister, all of whom live at or near Milesburg.

Services were held yesterday afternoon af- ter, which interment was made at the ceme- tery adjoining the Advent church. A i Boo HARRY A. GEHRET.—Harry Andrew Gehret died in the Bellefonte -hespital about 11 o'clock Monday night.. He had been ill for a long time with typhoid fever and other complications that rendered his case almost hopeless and at no time except in the early stages of his illness did jrecev- ery seem possible. Owing to poor circula- tion gangrenesetin in his arm and as he:-was too weak to stand the shock of an operation his death resulted. Hfmewinid Deceased was the son of David Gehret and was born at Zion June 28th, 1859. For years he bad been one of the trusted .em- ployees of A. G. Morris and the American Co. at this place. His church affiliations were with the Seventh day Adventists, whom he joined some time ago and has liv- ed in consistence with their ritnals éver since. vos ¥ genta Surviving him are his widow, who was Miss Villa Strouse, of State College, and their children Evelyn, Thomas and Eliza- beth.. . ; a an, : Interment was made from his late home on east Howard street yesterday afternoon. . offre ofl wach oil " MRS. ALBERT RHOADS.—Mrs. Albertf Rhoads died at her home on north Alle- gheny street.on Fiiday from the effects of a stroke of paralysis she suffered while ahout her household duties only that morn- ing. She bad been in ber usual health up to that morning and no premonition of her sudden calling away was had. Mrs. Rhoads was Miss Clara Shaffer before’ her marriage. She was born in Look Hav- en 48 years, 7 months and 23 days ago and was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Shaffer, who survive her. Her three chil- dren, Mrs. Boyd Cummings and Mrs. C. P. Blair, of Lock Haven, and Frank Sausser- man, of this place, also survive her. Funeral services were conducted in Ss. John's Episcopal church, on Tuesday after- noon, Rev. Geo. I. Brown, = the rector, offi- ciating. Interment was made in the Union cemetery. 9 “A i f 3 — —Their many friends here will be grieved to know that Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Lingle, of Patton, have lost their little boy baby Richard. He died on Sunday after- noon, just baving reached the interesting age of eight months. Mrs. Lingle will be remembered as Miss Mame MoLain, a daughter of James A. McLain, formerly of this place. Mr. Lingle is ason of Hon. W. C. Lingle and formerly lived in Philips- | burg. li li Bison ni oon ——Hepry T. Jarrett, Register and Re- corder of Clinton county, died very sud- denly Thursday evening while sitting in Rinn’s tailor shop at Lock Haven talking tofriends. Death was due to heart disease. He was born at Allentown in 1842, was a graduate of the Pennsylvania State College and was serving his second term as Regis- ter and Recorder of Clinton county. i Il Fo! ——On Sunday night, Feb. 1st, the in- fant daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Craig Cross- ‘mier, of Milesburg, quietly breathed her last. Her age was 12 days. Interment was made on Tuesday in the cemetery at Curtin; Rev. A. C. Lathrop officiating. Mes. JoHN B. MATTERN.—Mrs. Mary Krider Mattern, a well and favorably known resident of Buffalo Run, passed away at her home in Matternville on Tues- day morning after a long illness of heart disease. Mrs. Mattern was a woman of great energy and remarkable health until the death of her eldest son, G. Guyer Mat- tern, the popular merchant and politician. The sorrow and shock of his death, after a very brief illness of typhoid pneumonia, impaired her health and then soon after she lost her husband, John B. Mattern. A third death in her family, that of an adopted daughter of whom she was very fond, oc- curred in a short time and Mrs. Mattern’s health has been failing steadily since. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Krider and was born near Warrior’s mark about sixty eight years ago. Her entire married life was spent in Buffalo Run and there she was greatly beloved and respect- ed for her pleasing personality, her strong character and general kindness. Her hus- band died July 7th, 1896, and since then her son J. Linn has resided with her at the family home at Matternville. She was a useful and earnest member of Gray’s Meth- odist church and raised a family of estima- ble and diligent boys. Her surviving sous are J. Clark Mattern, of Braddock ; Dr. S. Gray, of Philadelphia ; J. Linn, of Buffalo Ran, and Krider, of Julian. She is also survived by two brothers one, C. D. Krider, is a resident of this place. Funeral services were held on Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock by Rev. Eslinger and interment was made in Gray’s burying ground. Il I I MERs. JOHN D. BROWN.—Annie, wife of John D. Brown, of Snow Shoe, died at their home in that place on Sunday morn- ing; leaving a husband and family of eight small children to mourn her distressing loss. She bad heen ill since the birth of her little boy baby just before Christmas and continued growing worse until death came. Mrs. Brown was a woman whose life and character was felt beyond the home circle to which she was so devoted. Of a bright disposition and inspired by high christian zeal she was a much esteemed woman ahout Snow Shoe; the true measure of her useful- ness being seen in the general manifesta- tion of grief that pervaded that community when her death became known. Funeral services were held at her late home on Wednesday afternoon, with Rev. Faus, of the Methodist ohnroh, officiating. fi I f -—Max Gilbert, the fourteen months old son of Mr. and Mis. Claude W. Falton died at their home in a Pittsburg suburb on Tuesday morning with an attack of pneumonia and whooping cough. His re- wains were brought to the home of his grandparents, ‘William T. Falton’s, near Milesburg, where services were held apd interment made the next day. h Ih I ——Mrs. Frank Ubl died at their home at Romola, on Wednesday morning of last week. She had been ill for several weeks with fever. Mrs. Uhl was 44 years old and is survived by her husband and several children. Interment was made on Friday afternoon. ——— ——Sapt. W. C. Patterson of the farms at The Pennsylvania State College cele- brated the sixty-fifth anniversary of his birth op Saturday by entertaining a party of twenty gentlemen at dinner. Tt was served at bis spacious home on the College grounds and inasmuch as all of his guests, save one, were veterans of the civil war it partook of the military and the decorations were patriotic and the fellowship made the] warmer by that comraderie that pervades the camp-fires of the boys in blue. The gentlemen present were Dr. Theo. Christ, Henry Campbell, Thomas Snyder, Hiram Thompson, G. A. Jacobs, Rev,J. O. Den- niston, W. C. Patterson, J. B. Shuman, James Stevens, Prof. M. M.

S. Kramer, junior mem- ber of the firm of Kramer & Son, merchants of Centre Hall. Mr. Kramer was interested as a witness in the Bible—Centre Hall borough water case and as it didn’t come up was forced to spend the most ot the week loafing ahout doing nothing; which was very much to his disliking as Sam is known as a fellow who makes every mo” ment count. One thing that surprised him in town and a matter altogether foreign to his notion of the habits of young men of this place is worthy of notice. While here he spent a few nights with his cousin, who happens to be prin” cipal of the High school and when we quizzed him as to how John had entertdined him he said : “W hy, goodness gracious, he spends his entire evenings in reading, then goes to bed at) o'clock.’ Just as if that were not the best thing for a well ordered young man to do. We always did know that they had a good crowd of ‘“‘round- ers” over at Centre Hall, but 8am musn’t ex- pect the Bellefonte fellows to keep apace with them. > ‘ : —Mr, and Mrs. Shem Spigelmyer, of Jersey COUNCIL IN SESSION.—The regular meet- ing of council Monday evening was attend- ed by all of the members but three.

He has been here for several days trying to get the wheel in- to a more efficient condition. Up to Mon- day evening he had succeeded in getting it to deliver 40 gals. per minute, but that was still far below the agreement whereby he was to have $1,200 if it would deliver 100 gals. per minute and on up to $2,000 should it reach a certain mark. The gentleman said that inasmuch as his company was at & great expense in experi- menting with the wheel and they would like to get it off their hands he was prepar- to offer the whole thing to the borough,just as it stood, for $1,200. This offer was de- clined and on Tuesday night he cut the price down to $900, which figure the com- mittee is holding under advisement. ——A¢t- Garman’s tonight some of our amateurs will vie with the Edwards profes- sionals in entertaining the andience.
