BENEFIT FOR THE HosPITAL.—It is very encouraging to the initiators of the hospital movement in Bellefonte to see the interest that is being manifes ted init by the students of the High school and the en- thusiastic and earnest way they are working to aid it financially. Eacouraged by Mr. Meyers and the other teachers, they planned out a campaign involving much thought and work, which is sure to be of much benefit to the hospital, not alone pecuniarily,but from the interest it will arouse in every class of people. The first in this series of entertainments was the Valentine social given by the Jun- ior class in the High school rooms last Fri- day evening. It takes people young in years and enthusiasmi to voluntarily assume as much work as did the Juniors to make their fete the brilliant success it was. Youth has no doubts of its ability to make anything go and will infect with its buoy- ant good spirits all who come near. This was never more clearly proven than in this Valentine party, for everything was beaati- ful, everyone was lovely and they cleared about sixty dollars. All the seals were re- ‘moved from the rooms, from the ceilings were suspended myriads of red cardhoard hearts, the walls were concealed with the class colors, purple and old goid, the High school colors of red and white and a beau- tiful flag, the property of the school. The large room was converted into a reception hall, where the Juniors received and offer- ed a literary program for the entertain- ment of their guests. Miss Twitmire sang, Miss Faxon recited, Alice Lowry and Mary Hicklin, as a little boy, gave a character song and Smith’s orchestra played most of the evening. In an adjoining room ice cream, cake and coffee were served upon tables pretty enough, with their uniquely arranged decorations of hearts, to tempt the taste of anyone. The Juniors were fortunate in selecting the propitious Val- entines Day, as cupid would certainly smile upon their efforts. The Senior class will give its entertain- ment, A Measuring Party, next Fiiday night and will doubtless make every effort to insure its success,since the Juniors have established such a brilliant precedent. The younger students were given five cents to put out at interest and it is interesting and amusing to see the clever- ness that has made these nickels grow to dollars. One youth made five dollars in chances on a pair of pigeons; another made two and a half dollars in penny chances on a dish; a little girl bought one dozen rolls for her nickel, sold them for ten cents, bought materials with which to make can- dy from which she secured money to buy materials for a cake and thus kept her fund growing. Criticism is made upon the noticeable absence of doctors and managers of the hospital from the Junior entertainment. Had they known their personality would have contributed to the success of the evening some would doubtless have been there, but as mere representatives of the hospital their influence should not be reckoned ‘on as anything. The hospital is to be a public institution, knowing no creed, no caste and having no attribute of a private character where any man may ar- rogate to himself dictation or authority. It is to be hoped that every family in Bellefonte will feel itself invited and ex- peeted to aid as though the hospital were its personal property and for this reason no man or set of men can ever be accused of lack of interest as it belongs to no one more than to another. Certain men have been initiators but only because the town need- ed a hospital and they were willing to de- vote some time aud trouble to its estab. lishment and we all know that a hospital opens its doors not to certain ones hut everyone, providing there are funds to maintain it. We cannot expect the mana- gers or docters to maintain our hospital, for then it would be a private institution to which the public had no legal rights. We must give it our support, else how ex- pect it to be continued ? There has as yet heen no assured means of support and if those who think it strange that patients are expected, when able, to pay for their care there, will consider what expense illness always entails and that the doctors and nurses cannot be expected to do it all for nothing then there will be less criticism and complaint and more co-operation and agitation as to where funds are to be se- cured. : ; : Think what the running expenses of such a building must he, what the medi- | cine must cost, and that skilled nurses tributed one cent thus far and then will you wonder why the wards cannot be filled with charity cases. Someone has to pay for it and can you expect the other man to do what yon won’t do yourself? *00- nesday night was a stinger, It was by far the coldest night we have experienced in this section for several years. The mercury started to dropping below 0° mark quite early in the evening and by ten o’clock was down to 3 or 4 below. A$ that time the snow crunched under foot in the way that always indicates severe cold and there was no let up until 10 o'clock yesterday morning, when the sun got high enough to warm alittle. At half past nine yester- day morning the government thermomeser at Centre Hall recorded 4° below 0. The record from various points in the county is as follows: Miliheim...... 0 5° to 11° degrees below 0 Bellefonte. 59 below 0 80 “ Centre Hall... 0 State College.......7° * 0 Huhlersburg. go «0 Unionville. ..

P. 8. C. E. of the Mileshurg Presbyterian church will hold a social at the home of Mrs. Albert Bietly, in that place, Friday evening, February 20th. Admission 10c. Every body will be warm- ly received. *oo— Bishop Garver, of the Altoona Dio- cese, visited the church at Clarence last Sunday aud advised the congregation there to keep up a parrish house for Rev. Father Victor Zarek who has been meeting with such signal success in that field. Sai ——S8ignor Angelo Patricolo, the noted pianist, and his company of artists will give a couceré in Petriken Hall on Tuesday even- ing, February the 24th. It is the last en- tertainment of the Star course and although every one of them this year has been more than satisfactory this one is expected to be the bes’ of the series. Signor Patricola is one of the most popular and attractive pianists before the public and he has given five hundred concerts to date. His com- pany consists of Miss Rose Richard, violin- ist, Miss Rosamond Duga,impersonator, and H. Bargess Jones, barytone,all of whom are most highly lauded by the press where ever they have been heard. Admission 35 and 50 cots. ——Denman Thompson and George W. Ryer’s pretty play, “The Two Sisters,’ the real companion piece to ‘‘The Old Homestead’’ is booked for Garmaun’s on Wednesday night, Feb. 25th, and will be given by Hickey and. Warmington’s com- pany. The high standing of the authors and management are an assurance to the public that this attraction will be one of the best offerings of the present season. This will be the first time this wholesome play has been seen here, in fact it has been in retirement a few seasons, but is remem- bered with affection by theatregoers and as the authors have re-written it right up to the fashion and requirements of the minute and the management has given it all possi- ble artistic, picturial and dramatic embell-. ishments it will undonbtedly do a record breaking business here. epi CLIMBING RIGHT UP.—At the recent meeting of the Standard Steel Car Co., it was aunonnced that orders aggregating $15 000.000 were on the company’s books and that prospects of the great new eater- prise at Butler were most auspicious. B:llefonters will be interested in this cor- poration because A. 8S. Valentine, a nephew of Harry C. Valentine, of Cartin St., is the secretary. He is a son of Evan Valentine and is only a young man; vet one of the officers in a great corporation that has practically revolutionized not only the car building business but the tonnage possible for rail-roals to handle. —— lp i AN AID SOCIETY FOR THE -HOSPITAL. —That Bellefonte needs a hospital has been clearly demonstrated in the last few months aud that we are going to have one is now an assured fact. But if it is to be of great benefit to suffering humanity and a credit to the town depends entirely upon the citizens of the community. Just now it is in the embryo stage aud needs lots of en- couragement and care if we would make out of it a live, reputable institution. Lat- er the State, no doubt, will give its aid in the way of an appropriation and possibly some generous philanthropist will perpetu- ate his name with a building or free beds, but waiting that time we have the oppor- tunities of the present. : It is the experience of everyone, who has had to do with hospital management, that an efficient aid society or auxiiliary is a most important factor in the upbuilding of ‘a first-class institution, so an effort is being made to enlist those who are interested. in an orgahizition. A preliminary meet- ‘ing was held on the 21st of November and shortly after that the subject was presented to the members of the various churches. Considerable interest has been manifested and a number of women have joined the or- ganization and paid their fifty cents, the yearly assessment, but many moreare need- ed and desired. a It is a work that appeals to everyone for ‘who are more needy than the sick or afflict | ed? and if you would extend a helping hand now is the time to do it. An efficient and influential society can very easily be secured by the co-operation of the women of the town. While on the other hand if ‘the work is left for the few or a certain creed then no great results can be expect- ed.” The names that have been handed. in are: A Mrs. Joseph Ceader, ¢ M.

SELLERS.—Paulser Agnew Sellers, one of the most prominent farmers of Pat- ton township, died at his home at Grays- dale on Sunday, after a long illness with heart disease. He was a useful, progres- sive citizen, public spirited and endowed with a character that was above reproach. Deceased was a son of Thomas Sellers and was born in Patton township 60 years, 1 month and 7 days ago. He was a grand- son of Paulser Sellers, who came to Centre from Chester county in 1816, at the solici- tation of Gen.

Tom was on oue of his sleds drivinga new team that he had had hooked up that morning for the first time. He undertook to cross the Pennsyl- vania railroad tracks on High street, just as the Lewisburg passenger train was drop- ping slowly into the station. Mr. Beaver was watching the train and saw that he had plenty of time, but just as his team stepped onto the west track the mail from Tyrone came bearing down on him from the opposite direction on the other. It was too late to get across ahead of it and for an instant it looked as if the team, sled and its human freight would be ground to pieces under the wheels. But quick as a flash Mr. Beaver threw the horses back on their baunches, then jumped from the sled to get at their heads. Given this loose rein they started again and were just about on the track when the engine struck them. The team wheeled about and started up the track. In doing so the rear end of the sled was thrown in front of the engine, which smashed it to pieces and threw Baumaster on his back within a few inches of the rails. He was 50 near being under the wheels that when the tiain stopped he was directly under the steps of one of the cars. The team ran away; doing some damage to the fence about P. Gray Meek’s lawn and was finally canght on Thomas street. : His LIFE CRUSHED OuT — Another fatal accident occurred at the Nittany farnace about 11 o'clock Wednesday night in which Edward Flack lost his life. He was a member of the shifter crew in the far- nace yard and was in pursnit of his duty when he met his death. A cinder car left the track aud pinned him against the side of the cinder house, crushing his abdomen 80 that he lived only a few minutes after he was released. : The unfortunate young man was a son of John Flack aud was just 18 years old. He is survived by his father, five sisters and two brothers. Interment will be made on Saturday afternoon. The engine used in hauling the cinder train was the same one on which engineer William Dyke was killed a few weeks ago and it was in charge of Wm. Royer when the accident occurred and he was so much impressed with it that he gave up en- gineering on the spot and Edward Whit- taker had to be marked up to finish the night work as the furnace. ——— Oe Sale Register.
