Y., September 22. —The present farmers’ congress in session here, will devote a great portion of its time to the distribution side of farming, the productive side having hitherto taken most of the attention of farmers. The addresses by the officers - show that the congress is growing in power and influ- ence and especially in the matter of secur- ing beneficial national legislation. Major D. G. Purz, of Savannah, Ga.. gave an address on the Sugar Supply of the United States. The congress should op- pose a reciprocity with Caba, he said, un- less reciprocity treaties are made with France and other countries. In the general discussion which fol- lowed the reading of the paper all the delegates agreed that the United States will ultimately produce all the sogar it uses. Timothy L. Woodruff addressed the afternoon session of the congress on agri- cultural conditions in the insular posses- sions. Secretary Cortelyou, of the department of labor and commerce, explained the pur- poses of the new department to the farm- ers. At the evening session O. P. Austin, chief of the bureau of statistics of the de- partment of commerce and labor, made an address on ‘Farm Prospects in the Markets of the World.”” Mr. Austin finds that from 1870 to 1900 the population has in- creased 100 per cent., and agriculture ex- ports 330 per cent., but that the increase in the number of people engaged in agri- cultural work has increased only 75 per cent. As prices are now lower a greater per cent. in bulk is exported. Of wheat the United States produces 49 per cent. of the World’s production against 37.9 per cent in 1875. The United States also prduces three- fourths of the world’s corn, three-fourths of the world’s cotton and 40 per cent.of the provisions used in international commerce.

SS net The United Brethrems in Conference. The 65th Annual Session now Sitting in Philips- burg. The sixty-fifsh annual session of the United Brethren church convened in Phil- ipsburg, on Tuesday evening, with Bishop J. S. Mills,D. D., Ph. D., of Annville, Pa. presiding. A large number of ministers, lay -dele- gates and visitors are in attendance, and the session promise to he unusually inter- esting. The meeting Tuesday evening took on the character of an evangelistic service, with an inspiring sermon by Rev. J. A. Eby, who is now conference evangelist. He preached on the conversion of the Phi- lippian jailer, and delivered a discourse that was thrillingly interesting, and made a profound impression on the audience. A very impressive prayer service followed, and the meeting was in every way an inspiring opening to the sessions of the con- ference. Rev. Eby is a young man, but a powerful preacher and specially gifted as an evangelist. He will have charge of the evangelist services each evening, and we predict the church will hardly be large enough to the crowds that will aim to be present. The conference session Wednesday morn- ing began at 10 o'clock, with devotional services in charge of Bishop Mills, who fol- lowed with an address on ‘The Example Chriss.’ It was brief, bat very instructive and inspiring. The organization of the conference fol- lowed the Bishop’s address, by the election of Rev. W. H. Spangler as secretary. The Bishop then announced the follawing com- mittees: Missions—E. E. DeHaven.

Swift, the packer, died to- day from the effects of a blow on the tem- ple with a polo ball, at Onwentsia field in the progress of the game. The accident was at first thought to be trifling. Mr. Swilt was playing in a contest in which his com- panions were Frederick McLaughlin, W. W. Rathhone, Walter Farwell, Sidney Love, Walter Keith, R. R. McCormick and Char- les Garfield King. : The ball which struck Mr. Swift was one that went high in the air, and from the mallet of Mr. Love. Mr. Swift did not appreciate his danger until too late, the glare of the sun preventing him from following the ball in its flight. When the ball hit him he did not fall from his saddle, and when his companions galloped to his side, he was at first inclin- ed to make light of the injury. He was inducedso dismount, but walked without aid from the fleld. Arriving at home, he complained of dizziness, and later he went into a deliri- um, which was followed by his death. Schwab's Gifts May Reach Ten Mil- lions. Fortune He Promises to Give to Schools Estimated at That Figure. PITTSBURG, September 20.—If Charles M. Schwab carries out his intention, ex- pressed at the dedication of the Weatherly School yesterday, to devote his entire for- tune to establishing educational institu- tions, it is estimated that something like $10,000,000 will be distributed by him. When he left Pittsburg to assume the presidency of the United States Steel Cor- poration his wealth was estimated at that amount. It is not probable that he has become poorer since then. Besides the school at Weatherly Mr. Schwab’s notable benefactions up to date include the founding of a manual training school in Braddock, a Roman Catholic church in Braddock, and a church edific at Lorretto, Pa. The auditorium at The Pennsylvania State Callege, together with a costly shrine in honor of Prince Gallizin, founder of the institution, He has made many minor bequests to churches of other denominations.

Her cost will be $5,852,000. ~——Subseribe for the WATCHMAN. On October 6th the grandest Fair ever held in Pennsylvania will open You will miss a great event if you miss it. EEA EE BE TT, The President’s Gun. waen rresident Roosevelt jumped to the wharf at Ellis island from the im- migration cutter H. B. Chamberlain the other afternoon and ran forward to shake hands with Commissioner Gen- eral Frank P. Sargent a powerful gust caught the skirts of his frock coat and whirled them against the back of his head, says the New York World. Those standing behind the president saw a sight that evoked much com- ment. Sticking out of his right hand hip pocket was the handle of a revolv- er. One of the secret service men quickly restored the skirts of the pres- ident’s coat to their proper place, but the momentary glimpse the spectators had convinced those familiar with such matters that the handle indicated a weapon of heavy caliber. Those unfamiliar with the president's custom wondered why he should go armed when on a mission so peaceful as an inspection of Ellis island. It was explained by one of the secret service men, however, ‘that the president inva- riably carries a revolver when he goes to a public place. : The president has carried a pistol ever since he took the oath of office aft- er the assassination of McKinley. He has the greatest faith in the ability of the dozen or more secret service agents who guard him, but prefers to be arm- ed himself in case of emergency. The pistol is the black handled, blue steel, .88 caliber revolver which he carried when with his rough riders in Cuba. It is the same gun with which he shot a Spaniard, as he tells in his history of the rough riders. ; When in Cuba he practiced faithfully with his revolver until he became an excellent marksman. Since that time, both in Washington and at Oyster Bay, the revolver shooting has been contin- ued until the president can score. a bull's eye at pretty nearly every shot. The secret service men have strenu- ous target practice at Oyster Bay each summer. One of them pins a bit of pa- per to a tree or stump; the man who is to do the shooting is started on a run and must pull his pistol as soon as he sees the object and fire every charge without slackening his pace. The presi- dent has taken part in this practice and has been able to hit a small sapling five times out of six shots. The president's ammunition is fur- nished him by the ordnance bureau of the army. It is especially inspected and loaded, and the president knows he can depend upon it in an emergency. The most remarkable shooting ever done by the president was at Oyster Bay in August, 1902, when he chal- lenged Commander Snyman, who had been on General De Wet’s staff in the Boer army, to a match. With his re- volver at fifty yards he drove five bul- lets, one after another, through the hole made by the first in the center of the bull's eye. General Snyman confessed that he had never before seen such shooting with a revolver. The president is equally expert with a rifle or a shot- gun. Legislation in Alaska—Public Senti- ment as to Best Form of Government, A special dispatch from Sitka, Alas- ka, to the New York Tribune says: The spectacle of a horde of statehood boomers urging the claims of their ter- ritory to sovereign rights in the Union is common enough, but Alaska pre- gents the anomaly of not being quite sure that she even wants to be a terri- tory. Agitation there is and of a vocif- erous kind that the territorial form of government should be conferred by congress at once. But there is a strong party, headed by Governor John G. Brady himself, which believes that the district is a mere infant still and should be left for a time longer in its present swaddling clothes. The knee breeches of territorial government and the manly garb of statehood should not be donned, they say, until their huge land is more thickly settled. The committee of the United States senate which has been looking into the legislative needs of Alaska this sum- mer has heard a great deal on this particular subject, and its recommen- dation on this point will be received with great interest. The senators have traveled many thousand miles in the interior and along the coast and have had an exceptional opportunity to learn public sentiment and to examine the facts at first hand. Meanwhile the merry war between the boomers and the let well enough alone party goes briskly on. The terri- torialists had a field day at the trans- mississippi congress which was recent- ly held in Seattle. Poor Governor Bra- dy had no one to back him up, while a dozen or more men identified with Alaska went in hammer and tongs for the change of government. A. P. Swineford, ex-governor of the district, pointed out some of the abuses of having the laws all made in Wash- ington. “Why,” he said, “a woman dressmaker has got to pay a license of $20 a year. I heard of one case where a man who kept a general store sold an official a bottle of arnica liniment. The merchant was thereupon compelled to take out a druggist’s license at $500 a year.” John C. Green, for twenty-eight years a resident of Alaska, made these points: “We feel that we know what laws are best for us and are capable of making them. We don’t want to be saddled any longer with the laws of Oregon, which now govern us. We want to elect our own territorial legis- lature instead of being ruled by cast off politicians.” Don Fletcher of Seattle told how a miner in the interior was attacked with malaria and after much trouble man- aged to get a bottle of whisky. He paid $5 for it. Information of this com- ing to a government official, he laid complaint, and the camp of miners which had sold the stuff had to take out a liquor license and to forfeit its whole outfit. It was further pointed out that Alas- ka now produced $25,000,000 a year in metals, fish, furs, etc, while it con- sumed an equal amount of goods from the parent country. If the district were allowed to collect its own revenues of, say, $200,000 a year, half would suffice for expenses and the rest could be used in the internal improvements which were so much needed. Governor Brady of course believes that Alaska needs more money, but he thinks congress should appropriate it. He pointed out at the Seattle gathering that by the census of 1900 the popula- tion was only 63,592, of whom only 30,507 were white. These were scatter- ed over 600,000 square miles. Most of them were in a measure sojourners, as the total number of families was hacd- ly more than 500 or 600. “The only gain,” the governor went on, “would be a delegate in congress. The expense would be much greater, and Alaska is not yet prepared to meet it. Besides, the territorial form of gov- ernment is unsatisfactory to many of those who live under it.” It must be said that there is consid- erable support for Mr. Brady among business men. One of them, who has been in Sitka many years, said: A London Street For Americans. It looks as if the great new London thoroughfare to pe built between the Strand and Holborn, to which the name of Kingsway has been given, will be very largely given up to American ten- ants, says a London letter to the Kan- sas City Star. Only two allotments have yet been made for building sites, and these are to be occupied by a sta- tion for one of the new “tube” rail- ways and a theater. As far as purely business enterprise is concerned, how- ever, Americans seem to be on the look- out for the best sites. A prominent New York firm of real estate brokers is willing to pay an enormous sum for the privilege of erecting an office build- ing after the American style, with as many floors as the London county council will permit. An American de- partment store for the new street is also promised. rm — Automobiles and Potatoes. Rapid progress is being made with the preliminary plans for the produc- tion of alcohol on a large scale in Ire- land for motor purposes, to which the department of agriculture in Ireland is now turning its attention, says the Chi- cago news. Early next year itis hoped that what is practically a new indus- try—the making of alcoho! from pota- toes on a large scale—will be in full swing in Ireland. With one exception all the petroleum consumed in the United States is a foreign product, and the supply is limited. 'Alcohol, on the other hand, is much cheaper, can be produced in unlimited quantity from the potato and will drive a car just as fast if the mechanism be slightly mod- ified. It is probable that an “interna- tional alcohol competition” will be held in Ireland next year, each car to use’ alcohol of its own country’s manufac- ture. New Baggagé Reégulations, New baggage regulations recently signed by Secretary Shaw place wom- en traveling without escorts on the “preferred list,” says a Washington dis- patch to the New York Tribune. When the passengers on an incoming steamer line up for the work of the customs in- spectors a detail of inspectors is to be especially designated to examination or ASR of the baggage of women without es- corts, in order that their landing may be expedited as much as possible. The new regulations are more restrictive than former circulars on the subject. No courtesies are to be extended to any one except foreign ambassadors and ministers, the members of their suits, invalids and persons arriving in charge of their dead or persons sum- moned home in haste by news of af- fiiction or disaster or other imperative emergency. The issuance of passes on revenue cutters is allowed only in ex- ceptional cases. School For Scene Painters. Boston is to have a school for scene painters under the direction of Walter Burridge, says the New York Times. It has been started by Henry W. Sav- age, the manager of theatrical ven- tures, in order to train a corps of paint- ers who shall understand the pculiari- ties of stage painting in all its ins and outs. : ADDITIONAL LOCALS ——Tomorrow night the ‘‘Johnstown Flood’’ will be seen at Garman’s. tren fp pre ——Of course the doctors haven’t much use for the Chicago girl who is making a personal demonstration of her assertion ‘that the cure for all ills is fasting. rr pp ne ——MTr.

Prof. George A. Miller, the judge, made the following report on its rendition of the tournament selection: ‘‘Tempo,good; tone, fine; harmony, good; points, 80; ex- pression, fine, points, 90; average 85 out of a possible 100. In regard to the merits of each section he made the following report. Lead instruments, excellent; side fair; bass section, fine. The members of the Milesburg band are a jolly good set of band men and their rendition of the contest number, as as well as all numbers played by them elicted hearty applause from all those who were in hearing distance.” —— “The Panther Hunting Club’’ is the name of a crowd of fellows from this place who expect to shoot all the deer that re- main in Pennsylvania this fall, and clean the woods out entirely of all other such nuisances as wild turkeys, pheasants, Etc. They met at the Garman house, on Monday evening, and effected a permanent organ- ization hy electing J. Linn McGinley cap- tain; probably because on all their previous hunts he is the only man whoshot anything. R. 8. Brouse was made treasurer and C. Bruce Garman, secretary. The latter was instructed to write a note to all the bucks and doe in the Eddy Lick country to be tied to certain trees any time on or after the 1st of November: The members of the club include the following : Messrs. Lewis Gettig, W. C. Cassidy, Joseph W. Rightnour, Jack Decker, H. C. Quigley, John Knisely, Charles Heisler, of Bellefonte; Frank Mar- tin and Frank Heller, of Berwick; Jacob Heaton and Jacob Bathurst, of Eddy’s Lick. ll te CAN A CoupLE BE FouND ?—The maga- gers of the fair are trying to find a couple who are willing to be married on the grounds during the great Centre county fair, week after next. These public ceremonials have become quite popular among the young people in other communities. Last week a couple were married on the Huntingdon fair grounds; the week before a similar event took place at Johnstown and during carni- val week in Altoona a young fellow and girl were actually married in a lion’s cage. The management here offer a prize of $50 worth of furniture and the Bellefonte mer- chants will come forward with as much more for the young man and woman of Centre county who will be married on the fair grounds during fair week. The man- agement also guarantee good behavior and will spare no expense to carry the wedding off with as much eclat as possible. Here is an opportunity for some couple who intend being married soon to get a nice start in housekeeping for nothing. If you know of anyone who might care to ac- cept the proposition advise this paper at once. eee AAA reer, Megs. RHONE'S FUNERAL—The body of Mrs. Caroline Elizabeth Keller Rhone, who died in Los Angeles, Cal., on August 24th, arrived in town yesterday morning and was taken directly to the Union cemetery, where interment was made by the side of her husband, the late Dr. John W. Rhone. Mrs. Rhone’s two children, Miss Ella, of Los Angeles, and Dr. Charles, of Arizona, accompanied the body here. They were met at the station by Mrs. Rbone’s two sisters, Misses Clara and Sallie Keller, of Boalsburg ; Hon. Leonard Rhone and his family, of Centre Hall ; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Keller, and a number of the friends and former associates of the family. Rev.

EL1zA ANN BAILEY.—Mrs Eliza Ann Bailey, widow of William D. Bailey, and mother of Newton 8. Bailey, passed away at her home on Lamb street on Sat- urday morning at 9 o'clock after a long illness. Mrs. Bailey had never beena strong robust woman and the closing years of her life were passed in great bodily weakness. For the past six - months she had been confined to bed and it 'was only because of constant attention and care that her life was prolonged as it was. She was a native of Elkton,Cecil county, Md., where she was born 84 years ago the 1st of the month. Her maiden name was Smith and she is the last of her father John Smith’s family. - On July 6th, 1843, she was married to William Devoe Bailey in Columbus, Ohie. He followed the print- ing trade for over thirty years and died at the family home in this place August, 1882. For more than thirty years Mrs. Bailey and her family have been residents of Bellefonte and no one in the community is held in higher esteem than she was. Quiet and with a very gentle disposition yet devoted to a clearly defined line of duty, her life was so earnest, pure and up- right that to her children and friends is left a heritage incomparably rich. In early life she joined the Baptist church but as there was no church of that denomina- tion here she regularly attended the Epis- copal church as long as her health allowed. Of her six children four are living William F. of Galva, Ill., Mrs. Mary Elmore, Mrs. William B. Rankin and Newton S, of this place. Funeral services were held at the family home on Lamb street on Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock by Rev. George Israel Brown, of the Episcopal church. On Monday morning her body was taken to Williams- port were interment was made in the Wild- wood cemetery by the side of her husband. The pall bearers were C. C. Shuey, Claude Cook, C. F. Montgomery and Hamilton Otto. ' I i I WiLLiAM TONER.—William Toner died at the home of his parents at Axe Mann,on Sunday,after a short illness. He had been away working until a few weeks aga he returned home suffering with stomach trouble. At first it was not regarded as being serious, but when his heart became affected ae a result of it little hope of his recovery was entertained. Deceased was the son of John and Mary Toner and was about 36 years old. His early life was spent about the home at Ax Mann but after he became old enough he spent most of his time in distant parts working to support his aged parents. And it was a beautiful tribute to him that fath- er McArdle paid during the celebration of mass for the repose of his soul, on Tues- day morning, when he said ‘‘he was good and kind and true to his father and moth- er.” He leaves to mourn his father and mother and the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. Mary Curry, of Waddle; Mrs. Robert Mor- rison, Lizzie, of Elizabeth, Pa., Thomas, of Axe Mann ;James,of Bellefonte,and Andrew of Clearfield. The casket bearers were Edward Cainp, George Hughes, Frank Gross,Edward Beck, William Hoover and Boyd Hunter.
