——Watch for tbe big crowd that will
go to the Logan benefit on Tuesday night,
April 6th, and then you will have an idea
of how the public regards our very efficient
fire department.
——The wheat crop in Centre county has
never promised better than at the present
time. From every section the same news
comes of a promise of a most abundant har-
vest.
——Mrs. J. E. Shope, who will be re-

manent home in Connellsville.

——Wahile on his way from home to his
drug store on High street, last Thuisday
morning, F. P. Green was knocked over
by a lot of dogs that were fighting in front
of W. R. Jenkins home. He was dazed
for a moment or so but was soon able to
resume his way with no further injury
than several painful bruises.
——1It required seven stitches to close up
a wound which Frank Neubaker, an em-
ployee of the Potter-Hoy Hardware Co. re-
ceived in the fleshy part of his leg on Mon-
day morning. He was walking past a pile
of glass in the ware-room and did not no-
tice that one jagged piece protruded beyond
the rest until it had slashed his leg.
——The appearance of a ‘‘Woman in
Black’’ in Bellefonte seems to be no longer
permissible of doubt. As to her motives
there is no reasonable explanation, but if
she serves no other purpose than the fright-
ening of children off the streets ata late
hour every parent in town should welcome
her coming and magnify her bug-a-boo pro-
pensities to the fullest.
—— President Geo. W. Atherton, of" the
Penna. State College, and Gen. Beaver ap-
peared before the House appropriations
committee at Harrisburg Wednesday even-
ing in support of the State College appro-

Play and his lecture is said to be, by com-
petent critics, most entertaining and in-
structive.
——On Thursday evening, March 12th,
William H. Ishler, of Tusseyville, and
‘Miss Leah Elizabeth Kaufman, of Lamar,
were warried at the home of Rev. H. J.
Crow, pastor of the Reformed church at
“Hublersburg. The bride is a daughter of
David Kaufman, a well known farmer, of
‘Lamar. They will make their future home
at Tusseyville,
~— Remember that next Thursday even-
ing the entertainment that Mrs. Lonsbery
and Mrs. Seibert are so certain will be
‘‘well worth a dollar’’ will be given in the
Methodist church lecture room, and from
what we heard of it ourselves, at a rehears-
al the other evening, we’ll have to go the
ladies one better and say that it will be
well worth two dollars but won’t cost any- |*
thing like that much.
——A christening is rarely made the dig-
nified and beautiful ceremony it should be
and was in the christening of George Har-
ris Shugert, infant son of John M. and
Katherine Cartin Shugert, on Wednesday
morning in St. John's Episeopal church.
This little one is the first great grand child
of the late ex-Governer Andrew Gregg Cur-
tin to be born in Bellefonte and had the
honor of his maternal great-grandmother’s
presence at his baptism. His{sponsors were
his maternal grandparents, Dr. and Mrs.
‘George Harris, Mies Adaline Harris and his
father, John M. Shugers.

LIVERY, «On Tuesday a lage delega-
tion of indignant citizens from Patton
township were in town protesting against
doing away with the post office at Waddle,
which would be one of the results of a free
mail service through the Buffalo Run val.
ler. Over in Penns-valley they are desper-
ately anxious to secure the service.
The Centre Hall Reporter, of last week,
says, ‘Valentine Shoenberger,a special route
agent of the post office department, has been
in town since last Monday going over the
territory of the proposed mail route in the
north precinct of Potter township.
The route laid out by him on Tuesday
starts at Centre Hall post office, thence to
John Conley, east by J. A. Keller's to Perry
Breon’s, retrace *o Krape farm and continue
south to turnpike at a point near Indian
Lane, thence east by pike to public road
east of Daniel Keller's. thence north to road
leading to Howard Darst’s, thence east by
the same road to public road leading from
Brush valley road to Union church, thence
north by said road to Brush valley road,
thence west to CentreHall on same road,
thence west to Crotzer’s hill, thence south
by way of David Keller farm and Leonard
Rhone to Boalsburg road, at Boal farm,
thence west to J. E. Rishel’s, retrace to near
Richard Brook's on G. M. Boal farm, thence
east to Loop road near D. L. Bartge’s and
south on same by Grossman to Strohm farm
near Tusseyville, thence east to road ata
point east of Samuel Flory farm, thence
north by D. W. Bradford to Boalsburg road
near John Kline, thence east on Boalsburg
road to Old Fort, thence north to Centre
Hall post office, making a distance of
twenty-two and three-eighth miles.
The south side of Potter township will
be served by two routes from Spring Mills,
as recommended by Agent Shoenberger.
The route will serve the sections about Cen-
tre Hill and Colyer and close the post offices
at these points. The Potters Mills and
Tusseyville offices will be kept opeu.
Considering the topography of the south
side and the business relations between that
section and Centre Hall, one would natur-
ally be led to think that Centre Hall would
be a more advantageous point for distribu-
tion. Agent Shoenberger represents that
Spring Mills was selected as the point from
which distribution should be made, because
of a petition largely signed by the residents
of the south side of Potter township asking
that Spring Mills be made the distributing
point, and although natural conditions
seem contrary. the will of the people should
be respected.’ 2

THE SPRING CHANGES.—While house
bunting seems to be the principal diversion
of some of our good citizens, the changes
that are going to be made this spring are
not nearly so many as usual. Mis. D. W,
Woodring has bought her brother’s interest
in the Galbraith property on Howard street
and with her family will take possession of
it the 1st of the month. Conductor John
D. Hall, who now occupies the same, will
move into the Kline house on Spring street.
Rev. Crittenden has leased a house on Cur-
tin street. Mr. aud Mrs. Boyd Wilson will
move from Petriken building into the Mor-
rison house on east Bishop street now oc-
ocupied by the Woodrings. Joseph Lose and
his wife are going into the Curry house on
east Logan street,and the house they ocoupy
on Water street has been rented by William
Royer. Orrie Kline will get possession of
Joseph Beezer has purchased the Rankle
property on the same street. George
Bartiey bas bought the house now occupied
by the Beezers and S. D. Gettig will move
into the house vacated by the Bartleys.
John Gress has purchased the Beck property
on Methodist Hill and will move his fam-
ily from his present home on Water street
on the 1st. E. M. Huyett, the lumber:
man, who has made his home in one of the
Zeller houses on Howard street for some
mo ntbs moves back to Centre Hall. Dr.
and Mrs. Tate are going to housekeeping in
one of the flats in Petriken building ;
Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Hindman will move
into Mrs. Orbison’s house on Curtin street
recently vacated by E. M. Greist. Miss

ly large one. Because there is such a great
quantity of stock and implements to sell it

Next Thursday, the 26th, G. W. Keizh-
line will have bis sale at his home 1 mile
north of Rock Springs. It will begin at

best make. He has a fine lot of stock to
sell also.

known to many readers of the WATCH

pal church at Sn, 'dertown, has declined to
consider a proposition to become pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal church at Ogden,
Utah, which pays a salary of $12,000.

—-‘‘Francesca da Rimini,’’ as present-
ed at Garman’s on Tuesday night by the
Porter J. White Co. was superb. The cos-
tuming and scenery were such as is seldom
seen in this place and the action far beyond
the average talent of road companies. This
notice is not written at the request of the
management of either the opera house or
the ‘Francesca’ Co. but merely as a mat-
ter of justice to an exceptional lot of play-
ers who merit crowded houses everywhere.

—— The Presbyterian church at Tyrone
is about to lose their pastor, Rev. Mr.
Wisely, who in the six year of his pastorate
there has bad no less than six calls from
other churches. At this time he is wanted
at Trenton, N. J.; Newark, O. and at
Dr. MoCook’s church in Philadelphia, of
which the aged divine is pastor emeritus.
This church offers Dr. Wisely a salary of
$5000 a year, but the Tyrone people
have a handsome parsonage and their
present salary of $1800 is to be increased to
$2000.
—— “The Mipister's Son’’ is devoid of
the usual traveled path of rural dramas,
seeking effects by other means than the ex-
ploiting of live stock and kindred devices
which have grown tiresome through fa-
miliarity. The simple way and naturalness
of the characters in the play, helped along
by a clever company, make this production
one that will long linger pleasantly in
your memory. It will appear at Garman’s
Monday night, March 23rd.
—
—— Little Miss Catharine Humes Allis
son celebrated her eighth birthday on last
Saturday by having eight of her playmates
spend the afternoon with her. It is need-
less to say that they bad a good time and
lots of delicacies to eat for Catharine isa
most unselfish little lassie and her home is
generously equipped with'all the games and
toys that a child could desire. The guests
were Mary Warfield, Catharine Love,
Nancy Hunter, Margaret Gilmore, Sarah
Hastings, Janet Potter, Mary Schad and
Helen Chambers.
——The quaint little shanty at ‘‘Alto”’
in which Mr. and Mrs. George Thompson
have heen so happy almost since their mar-
riage, was destroyed by fire early Monday
morning. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson lived
there so as to be near his work as superin-
tendent of the lumber operations at that
point and while the home was only tempo-
rary they had it fixed up so cosily and had
80 many of their handsome wedding pres-
ents there that the loss is a very heavy one.
In fact they had no insurance and were ahle’
to save only theirsilver and some cut glass.
It is supposed that the fire caught fiom the
chimney. It was beyond control when
Mrs. Thompson discos ered it.

—— Because of an expressed opinion that
college students in general and especially
students of State College are sons of wealthy
parents. an incomplete list of men in this
college who are, wholly or in part, working
their way through their course of study has
been prepared. Oat of a total of five hun-
dred and seventy men enrolled in regular
and special courses, eighty nine are engag-
ed insome kind of work by which their ex-’
penses are decreased. Many others would
do outside work if they could find the
work to do. Besides these there are many
who either earned the money for their col-
lege course hy their own exertions before
going there or who have borrowed the
money and will have it to repay when they
are through. In very few institutions is
there less of the aristocratic spirit than at
State.

——Cousiderable opposition has develop-
ed to the proposed mail route starting from
Scotia mines. It is mostly based on the
great delay there would be in the delivery
of the mail from Bellefonte and points
within the county east and north of it. As
at present carried via of Tyrone, mail post-
ed at Bellefonte, or passing through this of-
fice, for Sootia, lies over night at Tyrone
and reaches its distributing point after nine
o'clock the next morning, or too late for
distribution hy carrier the next day. Con-
sequently a Monday’s letter from this place
or any point along the Bald Eagle valley,
could not reach its destination until the
second day after it had been mailed—un-
less the starting time of the carrier was fix-
ed to suit the incoming mails of the same
day. Even this would be an inconvenience
to many residents of upper Buffalo Run who
are now, aud have for some time been serv-
ed with three mails a day from this point.
Waar me Cousot. Dib <The last
meeting of the town council on Monday
evening was attended hy Messi= Jenkins,
Reynolds, Fenton, Wise, Mallory, Kirk
and Destine.
Steet committee reported cleaning different
streets and alleys. The alley next to the
residence of Mrs. Miles on Bishop street is
in bad condition.
Chairman Fenlon, of the Water commit-
tee reported that the pump at the water
works is not working right as yet. The
manufacturer has asked for two weeks
more time, as he wanted to put in a new
pump, and then hoped to have the wheel
working up to the contract.
Chairman Kirk, of the Nuisance commit-
tee reported the bad condition of the walk
in front of McCafferty block and the eross-
ing owned by the P. R. R., on West High
street. The clerk was notified to give the
property owners ten days notice to repair
these places and if such was not done, to
repair it at their expense.
A request for the extension of the water
to the corner of Ridge and Beaver streets
was referred to the Water committee for
investigation. On motion of Dr. Kirk
seconded by Col. Reynolds, a meter was
ordered to be placed on the water pipes of
the Penna. railroad at the passenger station
and meter rates charged after the 1st of
April. The request of Geo. Gross for per-
mission to sprinkle west High street dur-
ing the summer months was granted.
Burgess Walker offered an ordinance in-
flicting certain penalties for drunkeness,
which after some debate was adopted and
ordered to be printed.
Boro Treasurer Meek asked for an order
of $1,000 to pay current expenses. Dr.
Kirk objected saying that the Boro had
overdrawn the limit allowed by law. Boro
Solicitor Fortney explained the law in re-
gard to the matter and the order was finally
drawn on the water fund for $1,000.
The water wheel and pump which the
E. Keeler company of Williamsport placed
in the water works and which faiied to do
| the work required, is still stored at the
water works and the clerk was instructed
to notify the Company to remove the wheel
and pump at once.
Messrs. Reynolds, Kirk and Fenlon were
appointed a committee of three to revise
the ordinances and have them printed in
book form.

THE DAILY NEws VERSION oF WHY
THE BANQUET OF BELLEFONTE CASTLE
K. G. E. WAS 50 SUCCESSFUL !—We, as
a mouth-piece for our brainy Democratic
party desire to thank the Daily News, that
paper-not--often--given-to--bestowing--even
deserved--praise--upon--Democrats, for its
tribute to our orators at the banquet given
Tuesday night in their castle by the Belle-
fonte K. G. E. And indeed literary Belle-
fonte might be proud of our party, as for
once even the skill of the caterer is made
secondary as, ‘‘eloguence ran riot, each
succeeding orator endeavoring to con-
tribute the richest gems of thought,” the
News even regretting that the speeches
could not be reproduced in type so that
everyone might know there is more than
one Chauncey Depew. This peroration of
the News was induced by the brilliant
speeches of James Schofield, C. M. Bower,
J. K. Johnston, N. B. Spangler, S. D.
Gettig, all Democrats. It is not surprising
that, ‘‘the whole evening was one of en-
joyment aud everyone had a pleasant
time I” We Democrats do not have to
economize for four years to have enough
eloquence to make a few campaign speeches
but have always enough to wake any oc-
dasion memorable.
The only ungrateful and discordant ele-
ment seems to bave been the Eagle which
‘‘groaned at the good things they contain-
ed.”” Only a Republican Eagle would
groan at anyone’s else having anything but
it might have been generous as the News
and screamed in appreciation of the Dem-
ocratic Depews !
S—— .
A SHOW WORTH SEEING.—That all the
successful amateur performances have been
presented by the young people of Belle-
fonte is soon to be a disputed fact, for the
matrons of the Methodist church will, no
doubt, share these laurels after their ap-
pearancejin comedy next Thursday night.
That this assertion may easily be true ap-
pears when it is remembered what hits
some of these ladies made in the Village
Schoc! several years ago. It takes years
and experience to mature a real sense of
humor as next Friday night's spontaneous
mirth will prove.
To give proper dignity (?) to the levity
of the ladies’ performance, the infant class
will have a doll drill and the boys of the
intermediate class will move the audience
to tears by the melodious (?) strains of
their German band. The fout ensemble of
an entertainment including such a range of
years and talents should surely attract a
large audience ! :
An admission of 10 and 150ts will be
charged with refreshments extra.

«We regret to learn of the serious ill Te Bosroxia SEXTETTE CLUB. —
ness of Mr. Jno. W. Conley, of Centre Hall,
who has been struggling with pneumonia
since last Monday morning. Mr. Conley
was stricken with it while sowing clover
After the approval of the minutes of the |
last meeting, Chairman Derstine, of the |
seed and so sudden and severe was the at-
tack that it was only through the greatest
effort thatjhe succeeded in getting from the
field where he was at work, to the house.
A physician was immediately called and
while Mr. Conley is still in a very serious
condition, it is generally believed that the
disease has been checked, and that he
stands a good chance of recovery.

——An attempt was made on Monday
night to fire the building occupied by
Schofield’s harness manufactory, and Hill’s
sewing machine office. Fortunately it
was discovered by Russell Blair, before
it had made much headway, and was ex-
tinguished before any damage was done.
That it was the work of an incendiary, was
shown hy the preparations that had been
made, and gives warning to the police, and
our citizens generally to be on the look-out
for the miscreant who to gratify an insane
desire to destroy, would jeopardize life
itself.

THE COMING OF EASTER.— Easter is late
this year. Ash Wednesday came on Feb-
ruary 25th and Easter will cccur on April
12th, almost as late as it can possibly come.
Easter may come as early as March 22nd,
and as late as April 25th. It depends, as
everyone knows, on the phase of the moon.
Easter Sunday is always the Sunday that
follows full moon immediately following
the spring equinox (March). In 1894 it
fell on so early a date as the 21st). If the
moon is full on Sunday Easter is the Sunday
next following, In 1883 the day fell on
March 25th, and in this and two following
centuries it will occur only seven times on
the same date, 1951, 2035, 2124, 2125, and
2198.

In ““The Minister's Son’ will be found
a beautiful, simple portrayal of everyday
life, showing a son's loyalty to his parents,
and while all the village think him a
worthless idle and laugh at his invention,
he goes to the city and soon interests cap-
italists in his scheme, sells out his pat-
ents, and returns home in time to save his
old father and mother from being turned
out of their home. At Garman’s Monday
night, March 23rd.
