The President loses no opportunity to sound the toosin of war. - In his Fourth of July speech he expressed the hope that Congress will provide for a navy equal to that of any other power. That is an in- definite proposition as well as a silly one and may be construed variously. Proba- bly he meant, however, a navy equal to that which Great Britain has at present. But we can’t see what good that would do for Great Britain bas twice the naval strength of this country and much greater capacity for increasing. An attempt to in- crease our equipment, therefore, would. be accepted by Great Britain as a menace to her peace and she would build until this country bad gone broke and we would be no nearer her equal then than now. That is not the only reason why the proposition of the President is both un- wise and unpatriotic. If it is his idea to increase the navy for the purpose of or- ganizing wars of conquest his plan involves the subversion of every cherished tradition of the country. From the beginning of the government the policy of this country has been to avoid such complications. The Declaration of Independence forbids such ambitions and the constitution of the United States makes the government of subjects impossible. Therefore the crea- tion of a big navy for that purpose is out of the question except on the hypothesis that we desire to change our form of gov- ernment. President ROOSEVELT will hardly submit that proposition to the de- termination of the people. The President’s plan involves one other result. Poverty among the people is the bandmaid of tyranny in power. Ship building is the most expensive of all gov- ernment luxuries. A first class ‘battle ship costs any where from six to eight millions of dollars at present prices of material and labor and it becomes anti- quated in five or six years. The building of a navy equal to that of England at . present would therefore, impoverish the people of this country through the medium of tax burdens, to such an extent that that within a few years they would be abject slaves to the money power and absolutely incapable of resisting or resent- ing usurpations of whatever character or description. Probably that is why the President wants to incur so vast and need- less an expense. Leads Them Co. B, Fifth Reg., N. G. P. leads all the military organizations in the State Guard, according to the recently published reports of the anuual spring inspection. Capt. Taylor’s crack organization made an aver- age of 98.85 which was not surpassed by any other and equaled by only one, Capt. All. John W. Borland’s Co. M, of the Sixteenth.’ This high rank attained by B Co. is cer- tainly a matter that all the boys may well be prond of. To stand highest in their regimens would be an honor, but to stand highest in the Guard is an extraordinary one. —I6 now looks as if LOVE has the Re- publican nomination for judge cinched. All of the other would-bes have been seared off. Clark Gives Out a Statement Con- cerning Letters of Dr. Berry. DENVER, Col., July 13.—The Rev. Dr.: Francis E. Clark, president of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, fo-day re- plied to the statement made by Dr. Berry, of the Epworth League, that ‘union be- tween the different young people’s socie- ties is impossible.’ “If Dr. Berry’s remarks were correctly reported,’’ said Dr. Clark, ‘‘he must have forgotten that such union has already been accomplished to a large degree. The Christian Endeavor society has already united the young people of twenty-seven denominations in this country alone and more than as many more in foreign coun- tries. Several denominations that have distinct young people’s societies of their | own also unite in this inter-denomination- al name of their ow’ denominational one. Dr. Berry says the denominational young people’s society is as noticeable as the denominational Sunday school is, not called by some other name to make it dis- tinct from other Sunday schools, nor is if kept out of the fellowship of other Sunday schools. Every Christian Endeavor society is a denominational society of the same de- nomination as the church to which it be- longs and just as loyal to the church as any can be. Itsimply adds broad-minded fellowship to its denominational loyalty. The Christian Endeavor is, in this respect, on exactly the same basis as the inter-de- nominational Sunday school movement. “Dr. Berry says the Methodist and Bap- tist denominations would never consent to have their young people furnished with literature by outside persons. But will not the Methodist church allow its’ young people to read any other books or papers besides those its own denomination pub- lishes ? No one asked or expected Metho- dist young people to give up their denomi- national provisions. The Christian En- deavor society does not force its literature on anyone and does not exist to sell its publications.

Grenninger was formerly a resident of Lock Haven and taught school at Flem- ington. He is in jail to await trial. eee QA eee ——While the James-Younger wild west show was exhibiting in Philipsburg last week the residents of that place discovered that the ‘‘wild boomerang thrower from South America’ was none other than Seth Johnson, a son of Matthew Johnson who was born in Philipsburg. He went with his father to Central America to work on the Panama railroad and had never been seen since until he turned up as the boome- rang thrower in this circus. reer Two MORE OF THE PRISONERS IDENTI- FIED.—Two more of the robbers who were rounded up in the Seven mountains some time ago have been identified as old of- fenders who have served time in the pen. The one giving his name as Palmer is really John McCrae and the other, who says he is Ryan, is none other than James Daily, both of them have been positively identified. aR “Just FILLS THE BILL.””—One of the WATCHMAN’S younger readers writes from Lynn, Mass., as follows: “Your paper just fills the bill in my case and its weekly visit, with its news, is as eagerly looked for as a letter from home.” Just so, the WATCHMAN tries to be ‘‘a letter from home’’ to all Centre countians in distant parts. It is not sensational and it tries to publish the news as it is, not highly colored or imaginative. Such words of commendation as these from our young friend at Lynn encourage us in the effort to keep the WATCHMAN the best country weekly paper published. terre A een. HERE'S A PROBLEM FOR You.—Our old friend W. A. Kerlin, of Rudd, Iowa, the gentleman, who has contributed so many interesting oatch questions to the WATCHMAN, sends the following from Prof. E. E. White’s complete arithmetic : I sold 50 Bu wheat for A and 60 Bu for B; re- ceiving $150.00 for both lots. A’s wheat is worth 20 per cent more than B’s. How much did each receive ? Mr. Kerlin thinks very few of our math- ematicians can solve it and even goes so far as to say that Prof. White’s own solu- tion is palpably wrong. Let us hear from some of you. —— Artemis ——The birthday anniversary of Mrs. Rebecca Burnside has for a number of years been marked as a very pleasant as- sembling of old friends. Although more quietly observd this year than usual it was sufficient to prove the fallacy of the old superstitution of ill luck attendant upon the number thirteen,for we would all wish to have been born on the thirteenth of July could we, when passing the eightieth mile- stone of our lives, be as sure of pleasant home surroundings and many loyal friends as is Mrs. Burnside. To good fortune alone, however, such envied possessions must not always be attributed, but to the personality which has won them and re- tained them for more years than an ordi- nary lifetime. When young and beautiful a friend does not count for as much as when we must be proud only of years and he grace with which we carry them. ere ly erent. ? BELLEFONTE SCHOOL TEACHERS ELECT- ED.—A#$ a recent meeting of the Bellefonte school board all the old teachers were re- elected as follows : Principal, John D. Meyer ; assistant principal, Miss Ella Levy ; 20d assistant, Bessie M. Craighead ; senior grammar, Jonas E. Wagner ; junior grammar, Chas. A. Heiss, Carrie A. Weaver and Mary Underwood ; intermediate, Mildred Smith, Gertrude Taylor, Mae Taylor, Elizabeth Faxon, Anna McCaffrey, Jennie Longacre, Frances B. Elmore and Helen Crissman ; primary, Bessie H.

MITE MISSIONARY So- CIETY.—The Woman’s Mite Missionary Society of the Pittsburg branch of the A. M. E. church met in its seventeenth annual session in this place on Thursday, July 9th, and continued until Sunday, when the business for a year was closed and the final adjournment made. There were about one hundred and sev- enteen delegates present and among them some very prominent colored church work- ers. The sessions of the convention were held in St. Paul’s A. M. E. church and most of the delegates were served with their meals in the lunch rooms in Petriken Hall, which bad been specially arranged for the occasion and served the purpose ad- mirably. The sessions of the convention were all largely attended and evidenced an interest in the work that is decidedly creditable to the A. M. E. church. At the business meeting it was decided to hold the next convention at Canonsburg, in July, 1904. The officers elected for the ensuing year were : President, Mrs. R. H. Bumry, of Brownsville; 1st vice president, Mrs. Grace P. Offer, Pittsburg; 2nd vice president, Mrs. Eliza W. Cross, Williamsport; secre- tary, Miss Libbie Skinner, Washington, Pa; assistant secretary, Mrs, Anna V. Downey, Wilkesharre; coresponding secre- tary, M. L. Carter, Monongahela City; treasurer, Mrs. Lida A. Lowry, Pittsburg. Lecturers.—Pittsburg Dis., Mrs. J. Batch, Elizabeth; Allegheny Dis., Mrs. R. Al- ridge, Pittsburg; Wheeling Dis., Mrs: D.

Morris, Tyrone; Mrs. Lillian Dor- kins, Allegheny. On Sunday morning Bishop B. W. Arnett preached to a large audience in the Metho- dist church. The service was in charge of the pastor, Rev. John Wood, but was con- ducted entirely by the colored brethren ; five of their ministers having taken part. The Bishop’s sermon was a missionary ef- fort and at times he became quite brilliant in his development of the ideal christian character. Before adjourning the convention passed enthusiastic resolutions of compliment to Rev. T. J. Askew, the pastor of St. Paul’s, the committee of entertainment and the people of Bellefonte who had contributed to their comfort while here. ie MARRIAGE LICENSES.—Following is the list of marriage licenses granted by or- pban’s court clerk, A.

Harter, and Mr. Charles Findley Mensch, which was cele- brated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harter on Monday, July 6th, was sensibly devoid of show or ostentation it was a very auspi- cious affair. Rev. Dr. Laurie, of the Presbyterian church, pronounced the ceremony and there was no one present except the near- est members of the two families. A break- fast was served immediately after the cere- mony and Mr. and Mrs. Mensch departed on the 1:05 train for an extended journey through the West. They attended the National Editoral Association in Omaha last week and this week are coaching through the Yellowstoue Park, in company with editor Charles Kurtzand a large party of other members of the Association. The bride, who is ‘a danghter of the late James Musser, of Harileton, has made her home here with her sister for the past ten years. She is a very attractive and accom- plished young woman and the value and number of gifts she received attested to her many friends. ‘‘Charley’’ Mensch is a nephew of Mr. Harter and has been asso- ciated with him in the management of the Gazette ever since the latter’s proprietor- ship. He is a splendid young man and is fully deserving of the happiness and pros- perity that is now his. Upon their return they will continue to reside with Mr. and Mrs. Harter, on north Allegheny street, where they have made their home for some years, eee rene ——William I. Gordon, formerly of this place, and Miss Lizzie M. Holter were mar- ried at Howard on Thursday afternoon, July 2nd, by the Rev. G. W. Boggs, of the Methodist church of that place. Quite a number of guests were present to witness the ceremony, after which an informal re- ception was held. After a tour of the Great Lakes Mr. and Mrs. Gordon will lo- cate at Columbus, Ohio, where the groom is employed in a chain works. He is a conscientious, upright young man, deserv- ing of much of this life’s happiness. ree ef ees ——Miss Annie Dunkle, of Beech Creek, who is well known in this place, was mar- ried to Lieut. W. P.

EMANUEL PETERS.—On Thursday of last week there passed away at the old Peters homestead, near Oak Hall, a man whose sturdy character, neighborly dis- position and unquestioned integrity made him one whose death is deeply deplored. Emanuel Peters was one of College town- ship’s best known farmers ; progressive in al] things, yet tempered with conservatism enough to lend the highest measure of suc- cess to his every undertaking. He was born near Franklinville, in Huntingdon county, about 54 years ago. Most of his life was spent on the farm where he died. His illness was of com- paratively short duration. On the Sat- urday previous he bad been working in the hay field. On Sunday he complained of feeling unwell and that his one side was affected in a peculiar way. Later spinal meningitis developed, causing his death. Surviving him are his widow, Mrs. Susan Peters, and the following children : James, Rock Springs ; Mis. Annie Rishel, Oak Hall ; Mrs. Minnie Wagner, Oak Hall; Mrs. Mary Stem, Altoona ; Arthur, Luther, Elsie and Maggie at home. His sisters Mrs. John K. From, of State College, and Mrs. Matthew Riddle, of Pleasant Gap, with his brother John, in Missouri, also sarvive. : Interment was made at Boalsburg on Saturday morning, the Rev. Stonecypher having officiated. i I I Mes. JoHN I. RoBISON.—Mrs. Priscilla Morgan Robison, wife of Dr. John I. Rob- ison, of State College, died at her home at that place on Monday, July 6th, after a short illness caused by appendicitis that superinduced general peritonitis. Mrs. Robison had been in this place as recently as the Thursday before her death and when she reached State College she was too ill to walk from the station to her home. On Saturday the case was diagnosed as appendicitis and on Sunday an operation was performed, but the conditions were guch as to leave little hope of its bringing relief. Mrs. Robison was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reese Morgan, of Scranton, in which city she was born 28 years, 11 months and 8 days ago. All of herlife was spent in that city until her marriage in 1899, since which time she has made her home at State College, where she had formed many friendships that are so sadly severed and had lived as a useful, christian woman. Surviving her are her hushand and their two little children: John DaCosta and Earl Morgan, aged 2 years and 4 months respectively ; her parents, three sisters and one brother. Funeral services were held at her late home on Wednesday morning and her re- mains were taken to Scranton for burial on Thursday. s 0 I I DROWNED NEAR OAK GROVE.— Walter Fannen, a son of the late James Fannen, was drowned while bathing in Pine creek, above Oak Grove, last Friday afternoon. The young man had only recently moved to that place from State College, where he had been previously employed. The day he met his death his wife and two little children arrived at their new home know- ing nothing of the tragedy until their ar- rival at Oak Grove. After getting his home fixed up and to pass the time until their arrival Fannen went up to bathe in the creek. He was accompanied by a boy. Stepping off an embankment into a fifteen foot hole the man drowned because he was unable to swim. His companion gave an alarm as soon as he could, but it was several hours before the victim’s body was recovered and then dynamite bad to be used to bring it to the surface. He was 27 years old. His father for years was a policeman in Bellefonte, later the owner of a farm near Fillmore. He is survived by his widow and two children and one brother, Forest. His body was taken to State College for interment. ll I I WILLIAM GOODHART.—After an illness of three or four weeks Willian: L. Good- hart passed away at his home near Spring Mills, on Thursday, July 2nd. Deceased was about 65 years old and was one of Gregg township’s most prominent farmers ; having been a resident there for years and a gentleman whose character was such as to make him the friend of all. He wasa Democrat and a member of the Presby- terian church. ; Surviving him are his widow and ten children : William L., and Mrs. Edward Foreman, of Youngstown, Ohio; John H. and Robert, of Altoona ; Myra, of Milroy ; Sara, of Cleveland, Ohio ; Frank, Samuel, Margaret and Letitia at home. Funeral services were held in the Presby- terian church at Spring Mills, on Monday, July 6th, and interment was made in the Union cemetery there. 8 i I fi Was BURIED AT SPRING MiLrs.—The body of Mrs. Jennie R. Van Valzah, relict of Dr. F. H. Van Valzah, of Spring Mills, was buried at that place on Wednesday. She died at Bloomington, Indiana, on Sat- urday night, where she bad been living sinve the death of her husband, two years ago. A few weeks since she underwentan operation in a New York hospital, from the effects of which she never recovered. Mrs. Van Valzah was a member of the class of 1864 at the Mountain seminary at Birmingham and is survived by one sis- ter, Mrs. R. Chamberlain, of Blooming- ton. I I I ——Bessie Smoke and John Kerin died with black diphtheria at Gillilandtown re- cently. DEATH OF A. V. Hoyr—Allen Vanvolzo Hoyt, the well-known civil and mining engineer of Philipsburg, passed away at his home in that place about noon on Wed- nesday. Although he bad been in poor health for some time previous he became seriously ill only the day before his death. Mr. Hoyt was 52 years old and located in Philipsburg when only 20. In 1882 he was married to Miss Ellen Starret, who survives with their five children. He was a peculiarly pleasant gentleman, one whose acquaintance grew more valuable as it lengthened and his death in the prime of life is another of those inscrutable works of Providence that we are taught not to marvel at. I I I FRANK STEINKIRCHNER.—The vener- able Frank Steinkirchner, who resided along Spring creek, near Roopsburg, died on Saturday, July 4th, the cause having been old age. He was a native of Germany and was 89 years old. Surviving him are his daughters, Mrs. Robert Rosenhower, of Spring creek, and Mrs. Beaverstein, of Philadelphia, and his brother Joseph. Interment was made in the Catholic cemetery in this place on Tues- day morning, July 7th, after mass for the repose of his soul had been celebrated in St. John’s Catholic church. I l I ——Charley Nelson, a 6 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Nelson, of Philips- burg, was buried Tuesday afternoon. He died from the effects of a wound in his left hand, caused by the explosion of a blank cartridge on the Fourth of July, from which he suffered much up until death re- lieved his sufferings. Everything was done for the child that medical aid and home care could do. Three doctors being in attendance several times a day, but lock jaw set in which proved fatal. It is a sad blow to the parents, who have the deepest sympathy of the community at large. This is another warning against the handling of these dangerous blank cartridges. I I I ——As the age of 81 years and 8 months Miss Elizabeth Eby died at the home of her brother Michael on Saturday, July 4th. Interment was made in St. Paul cemetery near Woodward on Tuesday. Rev. O. L. Buck officiated. I I I ——Theodore Roosevelt, son of William W. and Mary Kreamer Rishel, died at their home at Braddock, on Sunday, July 5th. The Rishels were formerly residents of Bellefonte. i i ——Former county commissioner Joseph W. Hubbard, of Clinton county, though past 79 years of age, made a full hand mn his harvest field all last week. I I i ——C. C. Moore, aged 38 years, was seized with acute peritonitis at his home at Munson, last Friday and died within twenty four hours. TRADED A $1200 DIAMOND BROOCH FOR A RIDE ON A MERRY-GO-ROUND.—During the Carnival in Bellefonte Mrs. Samuel Wallach, of New York, who is spending the summer with her sister, Mrs. Emil Joseph, in this place, lost a diamond brooch in the shape of a heart. As the jewel was valued at $1,200 its disappearance caused quite a stir in the Joseph home, where every nook and cranny was searched. In fact all of the carpets were taken up, but to no purpose. A day or so later one of Mrs. Wallach’s maids thought she saw the lost brooch on Nellie Lebkircher, a little girl who resides with her mother on west High street. An investigation later brought out the follow- strange story : A little errand boy about the Joseph home says he found the gem in some rub- bish in the yard and not dreaming of its value carried it about with him until one night during the Carnival he presented it to Nellie. Little she knew of its value and wore it about like a ‘cheap pin until the next evening she traded it to the man at the merry-go-round for two rides. He thought it very pretty but that he didn’t know its value is proven by the fact that he used it to pin up his suspenders. When told of what had been in her pos- session Nellie promptly gave all the infor- mation possible about the missing brooch’ and it was found in the possession of the man to whom she had given it. hep init ——Philipsburg is well satisfied with its Fourth of July celebration. That there was a big crowd in town is proven by the fact that the ‘‘Allepopper’’ railroad alone handled 6,225 people that day. The parade wasn’t so great as it was good and the sports resulted as follows: J. K. Thomp- son’s horse won first prize in the road race ; Thomas Nicholson’s horse, of Morrisdale, second prize ; Lee Hagerty’s horse, third prize. In the special race Wierinan’s horse took first money ; Thomas Murphy’s horse, of Morrisdale, second prize, Burton Erb’s horse, third prize. In the hub race the Reliance fire company won first prize ; the Hope second. O. H. Peightal carried off the first prize in the 200 yd dash ; Elmer Sheriff, second. The 100 yard dash ; Earl Johnston won first prize ; W. P. Hoffman, second. Sie ch ol gn UY TEE) ——Thursday, July 30th, will be Metho- dist day at Lakemont park, Altoona. A$ 10:30 the Rev. C. E. L. Cartwright, of Scottdale, will deliver his celebrated lecture, ‘“The Mistakes that Moses Didn’t Make.” A$ 2 the Rev. Thos. J. Leak, D. D., of Pittsburg, will speak on John Wesley. Short addresses will follow by Hon. T. H. Murray, of Clearfield; Drs. | Cartwright and J. M. Yeager. At8p.m., the Rev. J. M. Yeager, of New York, will give his popular lecture, ‘‘Rocks that Wreck.” Tae NitrANy CouNTRY CLUB.—The property of the Nittany Rod and Gun club at Hecla Park was sold under the sheriff’s hammer on Monday, July 6th, and was boughtin by a party of Bellefonte and Tyrone gentlemen, who have already reor- ganized the club and will continue it as the Nittany Country club. The old organization broke up not be- cause of the financial straits of its mem- bers, but because the attempt to propagate quail on the preserve was not a success and the gunners in the club lost interest. The property was levied on on a $3,000 judg- ment held by Mr. Vandegrift,of Pittsburg, and sold on a bid of $2,075.00. To pus it in new would cost in the neighborhood of $5,000 or $6,000. The club was started in 1897 with a membership of nearly one hundred and since that time at least $60,- 000 have been spent on it. Last Friday evening the members of the new club met at the club house and after luncheon they assembled on the porch and organized with the following officers ; President, J. L. Spangler ; vice president, J. W. Gephart ; treasurer, Geo. R. Meek ; secretary, Edmund Blanchard ; board of governors John M. Dale, Esq., W. Harri- son Walker, Esq., L. T. Munson, Dr. J. M. Brockerhoff, Robert Morris, Col. Wil- bur F. Reeder, R. B. Freeman, of Tyrone; house committee, Hard P. Harris, H. C. Quigley and Geo. R. Meek. It is the plan of the new organization to make it purely a country club, with golf, tennis and other out-of-door sports and the club life as attractive as possible. The club trout stream will probably be kept stock- ed, but little attention will be given tc birds. LL A TERRIFYING RUN AWAY.—On Tues- day evening Ethel and Hubert Gray and Gray Way, of near Waddle, drove up to Gray’s church to attend a singing class which was to have been organized there that evening. The instructor, however, failing to appear they spent the evening at the Bricker home on the old Jacob Gray farm near by. About ten o'clock they started home and were driving along very quietly when without the least warning or provocation the horse suddenly kicked in the dash board and started to ran. The hoys are both accustomed to horses and they held onto the lines with all their strength until some distance below Mur- ray’s Inn. Then they were going at such a pace that they decided to attempt to get out of the buggy. Miss Gray escaped without any serious injuries but the boys were not so fortunate. Young Way bad a deep gash cut in his left shoulder and his leg, over which a wheel of the buggy passed, is so cut and bruised that he is practically out of busi- ness for the summer. Hubert Gray landed on his head and in consequence his ear was badly cut and the whole side of his face bruised. The horse continued its mad race past the residence of D. L. Meek, who on hearing the racket started out to investigate. The young people were found up along the road and helped into his home where they were cared for until they were able to be moved to their homes near by. Gf fpr THE BULLOCK SWING AND CHAIR Co. GROWING.—The Bullock Swing and Chair Co. has been making such rapid strides in the progress of its organization lately that it has been difficult for the public to keep up with it. After Mr. G. R. Spigelmyer joined efforts with L. C. Bullock in ex- ploiting the Solid Comfort swing it became evident that the possibilities of the basi- ness were even beyond their well known ability as hustlers. Consequently they have decided to incorporate their business as a stock company and as the first step under the new plans they have taken Mr. W. L. Hicks, the well-known Tyrone at- torney, into the firm. Tyrone people have been especially im- pressed with the Bullock invention and think it such a good thing that there was a general scramble to get into the business when the opening was made. In fact there is a possibility of moving the manufactory to Tyrone. rn Qn ‘THE FORTY-FIFTH TO REUNE.—To- morrow there will be a great time at the home of Dr. Capt. Maj. W. H. Fry, at Pine Grove Mills, for the forty-second an- nual reanion of the Forty-fifsh Reg. P. V. V. will be held there and the old fel- lows in blue will lay siege to bulwarks of good country provender and have a hand- to-mouth encounter with legions of turkeys. and chickens. i W. H. Musser, J. G. Heberling and W. H. Fry are on the committee of arrange- ments and they will leave nothing undone that will add to the pleasure of their comrades. : BGA AHE, ; Howard, Did you all hear of the riot in our town on Saturday ? 5 Mrs. J.
