Blair, the well known engin- eer of the local freight train on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad, was set upon by foot-pads in the Lock Haven freight vard Tuesday evening and was ‘knocked down with the evident intention of committing robbery, but in fear of being discovered they ran away before they accomplished their purpose. ——The members of the A. M. E. church gave their new pastor, Rev. J. E. Morris, and his family the most acceptable kind of a reception last Friday night. They in- vited themselves to the parsonage on How- ard street and after filling up the larder to ‘over-flowing proceeded to show she strangers what a jolly time church people ean ‘have. —— John Caldwell, one of the oldest citizens of the town, isin a very critical condition at the home of his grandson, Thomas Caldwell, on Beaver street. He is suffering from a stroke of paralysis and it is not likely that he will ever be any better for he is 95 years of age. On San- day afternoon at a meeting of the family at his bed side just four generations were represented. ——A most social and pleasant party was given on Saturday evening at the home of J. Willard ‘Barnhart, on east Howard spree.

The Rev..Dr. Halloway will preach the an- nual Thanksgiving sermon and all denomi- nations are cordially invited to participate in what should be to everyone a most de- lightful season of prayer and praise. If the Spirit that moved - the Pilgrims to the first -observance of Thanksgiving were to pene- ‘trate and permeate this community what a glorious service and memorable day would be this of Nov. 26th, 1903 ! ~The. members of the Epworth League. of the Methodist church will hold a bazaar the second week in De- cember in the leoture room of the ehuroch. The public might imagine the exchequer of the Methodist church to be overflowing with money, from the frequent suppers, and entertainments advertised, bus the outlay involved in remodeling the ehurch several years age, was quite large’ and strenuous efforts are being made to raise the money. The League made itself responsible for $500 and the coming bazaar is the first attempt to lessen the amount. DoinGgs oF CouNcIL.—The regular meet- ing of the borough council was held on Mon- day evening at 8 o’clock. President Can: ningham presided and the following mem- bers were present, Col. Reynolds, H. E. Fenlon, Jos. Wise, Dr. Kirk and W. R. Jenkins. The minutes ‘of the’ previous meetiug were read by the secretary, W. T. Kelly, iness was transacted. Samuel Rine report- ed having had the boilers at the water works inspected aud reported them in good condition. ‘Mr. Wise, of the Street com- mittee, reported cleaning various streets and alleys. - The contract between: the boro and the Bellefonte Electric Co for lighting the streets for a period of ‘three years from January 1st, 1904, with a privilege of five was then brought up by Mr. Fenlon. Col. Reynolds seconded the motion that the con- tract be drawn [up and approved. It carried. : Col. W. F. Reeder on behalf of the Belle- fonte Electric Street Railway presented an ordinance asking council to grant them franchises permitting them to construct a street railway through the principal streets of our town. He bad drawn up an ordi- nance which he submitted to the boro so- licitor for his approval. The street railway is to be completed within two years after the granting of the franchise. The contract between George I. Thomp- son, of Clearfield, and the boro for laying the concrete walk on north Water street was read by the clerk. President Cun- ningham and Dr. Kirk entered their pro- tests against laying a concrete walk along this thoroughfare on new made ground. The contract price is to be paid in two years’ time and the contractor is to give a bond for the successful completion of the work. The pavement is guaranteed for two years. “There seemed to be no action nec- essary in the matter as the Street com- mittee at a previous meeting had been or- dered to make the contract. The work on the new pavement is to begin at once. The ordinance granting a franchise to the ‘Bellefonte Electric Street Railway company was read and discussed. Council decided to take no immediate actien on the subject. Friday, Nov. 27th, was named by the presiding officer as the time for hearing water appeals. Col. Reynolds offered an ordinance fixing the water rate. It was prepared by Solicitor Fortney, who ex- plained its purposes and provisions. The ordinance was held for future consideration. Surveyor Wetzel introduced the question “of having permanent grades fixed for our streets. Council decided to investigate the question and establish a permanent grade.

Heinle $1,683 86 ete To Hunt 18 IT?—When a party of men want to have a good time they don hunt- ing ocoats,shoulder guns, get some harmless dogs on chains and a lot of other impedi- menta and announce they are going hunt- ing. Strange how long this word has ob- tained when man is so loath to opeuly an- nouuee his failares ! Hunting is pursuing game for the purpose of catching or killing. Sporting is the finding of something di- verting and amusing. There is game big and little io our mountains and yet if one deer is shot in a whole season, the name of the crack shot is advertised all over the country and the deer ex- hibited with great pride. Either there must be a mighty lot of poor hunters in thie town or these expeditions are to sport rath- er than to Aunt. Wouldn't you rather be a sporting than a hunting party that drove five deer past the skilled markeman of the crowd and only the tale left to tell ! That was a Six Mile Run experience. The game wardens of the State aud those interested in the preservation and propaga- tion of the rapidly disappearing deer and other game will be glad to know that only three deer have been laid to our credit—one shot by Linn MeGinley, another brought by Col. Fred Reynolds and the third which Joe Rightnonr brought home last Friday from the vicinity of Beaver Mills and which Jobin Harris olaims a share in as having fired the first shot that brought it down. ‘Mr. McGinley was a member of the Panth- er Hunting Club encamped on Eddy’s Lick. With him were John Knisely, Bruce Gar- man, R. 8. Brouse, Harry Gerberick, Will Cassidy, Jack Decker, C. M. Heisler, Jacob Jury, Paul McGarvey and Lewis Gettig. Col. Reynolds was encamped at Spruce Run with G. Murray Andrews, Joseph L. Montgomery and C. M. McCurdy. : _ “At Six Mile Run, Frank Clemson, Hard Harris, D. M. Stewart and George Meek are now— we feel safe in saying —sporting 1ather than hunting as the game in the region is perfectly safe. Rev. James P. Hughes is hunting with friends from Port Matilda. ys ——No need for Bob Morris to carry concealed weapons to defend himself against the ‘‘bogies'’ since he does not even fear the darkness and bears of the Alleghenies but walks six miles alone after midmight in a drenching rain over the mountain from Philipsburg to Six-Mile Ran. It was not that the bed aud board of camp were ipsburg but that he wanted to show the men who insisted on his driving at their time and gait that he could go his own gait at his own time. and after being approved the following bus- superior to what was offered him in Phil- | ——The main offices of the Peale, Pea- cock & Kerr Coal company are to be moved from Clearfield to St. Benedict on the first of the year. ———— eee —~—Mrs. Thomas Moore, of 1606 Green anyone desiring to shop by mail or will ac- company purchasers from a distance on shopping expeditions. Mrs. Moore "was so long a resident of Bellefonte and is so well known to the majority of the people here that i6-is scarcely necessary to say that she will doubtless be able to fully satisfy her patrons. MOG gu Hi og ——Little Ruth Waite, danghter of George Waite, of the Bellefonte Fuel and Supply company, came very near climbing the golden stairs on last Saturday. She is a fearless little maiden and was spending her day out of school hanging on wagons. In jumping off one, near Irvin’s grecery store, she fell juet under the feet of an ap- proaching team, The driver stopped his horses as quickly as he could but, before he was able to do so, a wheel had gone over her. She was not seriously hart and was able to go to school on Tuesday, and’ thas she escaped without a broken neck was nothing less than a miracle to those who saw the accident. ew iii iit ——While we country people, in our course -dinners and elaborate entertain- ments, are striving to keep pace with the votaries of fashion, they are seeking novel- ty in a return to the simplicity of our ear- lier customs. Recently there was given, in a bachelor’s fashionable apartments in New York, a ‘‘Farmer’s Dance’’ as one of the unique entertainments of the season. The rooms were decorated with minature bun- dles of straw, vegetables and articles sug- gestive of the farm. ' The guests were serv- ed at a table laid with all sorts of old fash- ioned dishes; these filled with celery, cran- berries, prunes, apples, pumpkin and mince pies and everything a homely reminder of the time when all the food was placed on the table for each guest to serve himself as be chose. —— ‘The Minister’s Danghters,’’ which comes to Garman’s on Tuesday evening Nov. 24th has been delighting large aundi- ences wherever it has been presented, and should no doubt prove the same here. The play deals almost entirely with a stratum of society known only to the larger cities. The dangers and pitfalls to which the young and innocent wage seekers are sub- jected are carefully and skillfully drawn. Of course in the end the villians are foiled and virtae triumphs. The cast which will interpret Leonard Grover’s comedy drama isan excellent one. The scenery and mechanical effects are of the bess, and the explosion and burning of the Old Tetlow Oil Yard. with its massive mechanical effects, is the strongest sensational scene now upon the stage. to ——The many friends of Miss Julia Reed, for along time teacher of English and History in the Bellefonte Academy, will regret to learn of the death of her sis- ter, Mrs. Elizabeth Gillet, at Sharon, Conn., on the 29th of October. While kuown to us only through Miss Reed, Mis. Gillett was a very lovely woman and the loss to her family and friends is easily imagined since we know how greatly Miss Reed’s absence from our community was felt. Miss Reed left Bellefonte to become principal of the largest boarding school for young ladies in Havana, Cuba, and has re- turned there every fall until this ove when she remained North owing to the serious illness of her sister. She will, however, later resume her work in Cuba as she been very successful there and much enjoys the work and climate. ——— -——In a special issue devoted to ‘“Mod- ern Aids to Printing,’’ the Scientific Ameri- can presents to its readers a fund of infor- mation about an industry which plays an important. part in the life of the people. bat of which little is popularly known.. The number describes in an entertaining way the advances that bave been made in tne printing art within recent years and strik- ingly shows the economic significance of the press. Of the more important articles in this issue may be mentioned an instructive interview with Theodore L. DeVinne, the master printer of America; on account of the influence of mechanical typsetting as a labor saver; a description of a modern newspaper press which prints 150,000 cop- ies per hour; an outline of book binding which tells how books are sawed, ecase- wade and embossed. The number is dress- ed in an admirable colored cover. — *0e ——John Foster, class of ‘93, P. S. C., and youngest son of the late William Fos. ter, of State College, has resigned as chem- ist at Cumberland Furnace, Tenn., and ac- cepted a position at the Experiment Sta- i tion. In the spring he will take charge of his father’s farm, near State College. This is one of the most delightfully located farms in the county and has been under Foster management for so many years that {it is very gratifying to know there is yet | one of the name to continue its successful history and to give his time and brains to | the advancement of agricultural interests, | Twenty five years ago to be a good farmer | was all the recommendation a man longed { for, but now other occupations have seem- i ingly offered greater inducements and many of the beautiful old farms of the coun- ty have passed into the hands of strangers, | The next generation will doubtless see a revulsion in favor of farming as it will come to realize that as much science and wi is required to make a success in this as in other pursuits. street, Philadelphia, makes announcement : that she will act as purchasing agent for | November. PROF. SURFACE GETS A *‘RISE” OUT OF EDITOR HARTER. —Jubt because Mr. Har- ter, .of the Gazette, happens to énjoy fishing be is interested in the establishment of the fish hatchery and comments very favorably on the part played by Prof. H. A. Surface, of State College, in securing its location in our vicinity. Even if it is Harter {fish + Surface, we are glad to know that 'soME- THING has directed Mr. Harter’s attention to the benefit to be derived from an econo- mic Zoologist who knows nature and prac- tically applies his scientific knowledge. “'A: fish hatchery in our vicinity is a good thing but does it promise: to yield more general benefis than the bulletins Prof. Surface has been issuing eversince he went into office ? | : State College to establish a good course in biology and a year as Economic Zoologist, lecturing and writing on subjects vitally important to agriculture; Professor Buck- bout has given the hest years of bis life to State College and the State for the advance- ment of horticulture and forestry; Profes- sor Surface has worked at State College ‘three years, lecturing at farmer’s institutes acd doing everything possible to awaken an interest in the practical application of the scientific subjects which his position represents and yet in all these years the Gazette has been spare of landation for the work of these men and has never taken even passing interest in the appointment of an economic zoologist. Perhaps it is because Mr. Barter’s most pleasant im- pressions of biology here come from hunt- ing and fishing that he ‘‘warms’ up over the hatchery. It is to be hoped that his interest in Prof. Surface and his work will not be indissolubly connected with the batehery but that it may come to include all phases of biology and in time the Col- lege also, which deserves the enthusiastic approval and co-operation of every news- paper in Pennsylvania. Tee ~~ THE METHODIST LADIES ADD ONE MORE To THEIR LIST OF SUCCESSFUL EN- TERTAINMENTS.—The chicken supper serv- ed by the Ladies Aid of the Methodist church, Thursday evening, Nov. 12th, was a great success—if success may be judged by the number in attendance. Unforta- nately mauy of these could not wait for the treat of the evening when Miss Grieb play- ed and Miss Faxon recited. It is a great pleasure to hear both and as the opportuni- ty is not often extended, the audience of Thursday evening was to be congratulated. It was Miss Faxon’s first recital in the church for almost a year, but she was in- deed generous this time and responded laughingly to encores so frequent and in- sistent as to alone establish any artist's claim to popularity. The Ladies Home Journal hooth adver- tised to be a special feature was indeed most beautiful and attractive, a framework covered with scarlet and black crepe paper hung with delicate garlands and decorated wirh rosettes, the whole forming a pleas- ing and showy background for the twenty pictures sent with the booth. These pic- tures were the ever popular—Gibson girl, the getting-to-be-popular Stanislawse girl, a Christy bride and other equally beantiful reproductions from such prominent artists as W. L. Taylor, Alice Barber Stephens, etc. Booth and pictures were wholly due to the generosity of the Curtis Publishing Co., as the only expense to she church was the express. The Cartis Publishing Co. is spending $50,000 this year in advertising and on such terms that the benefit falls in- to the bands of subscribers or anyone who will hustle a little to take avail of these of- fers and it is well worth a little work to become the possessor of a subscription to The Ladies Home Journal or The Saturday Evening Post. — Pe GOVERNOR'S DAY AT THE PENNSYLVA- NIA STATE COLLEGE. —Last year through the efforts of those interested in State Col- lege a special day to be known as Govern- or’s Day was inaugurated for observance in Governor Stone with other diguitaries was present. The initiatory ef- fort to have a day when the Governor might personally visit the different depart- ments at the College proved so successful and satisfactory that it has been made per- manent and on November 20th, of this year Governor Pennypacker will visit the col- lege. The order of proceedings will be : o 8.00 A. M. Regular morning chapel service in the Auditorium. 8.20 to 11.10 A. M. work, for which a special schedule will be prepared. 2.30 P. M. Review of the cadet battalion by his 2300ljsncy) the Governor, Major- General ¢harles Miller, and Adjutant- General Thomas J. Stewart, 8.00 P. M. Reception in the armory by the Senior class and the annual Thanksgiving assembly. eS ——A local in the Philipsbarg Ledger at- tracts our attention. It is that Mis« Maud Hale, chairman of the finance committee of the Village Improvement Society, had sponsored two cake sales which netted $120 for the society’s use during the winter. In 1895 there was organized in Bellefonte a Village Improvement Society. It had a mushroom existence of about one year dur- ing which $202 was raised as a fund and thus ended the first chapter in the history of our Improvement society. Philipsburg’s Society needs $120 to steer it over the win. ter. We do not seem to need any improv- ments—our streets may revel in accustom- ed dust and rubbish, our pretty little stream remains a dumping place for Platt- Barber’s refuse potatoes, vegetables and everything else anyone may care to throw knowing that Mrs. Wiggs in her Cabbage Patch was spered all the responsibilities and worries that the Philipsburg ladies will bave in specding the $120 and keeping np their record for progressiveness, BE —— ll Dr. Henry Fernald worked ten years at |. ‘| Philadelphia this week Inspection of different departments of | W8s dedicated, : Tennessee river by boat to Shiloh where another monument was dedicated to the 77th Regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers, and then a stop at Nashville & Asheville to see the famous Biltmore estate. It is interesting to hear Col. Chambers impressions for, although a staunch Republican by education, by inheritance he is really home when South of the Mason and-Dixon line as his grandfather, Col. Staples, owned one of the larg- est plantations near Lynchburg and loyalty to the South can never be wholly eradicated from one of her children. One could scarcely blame Col.

They are daughters of William H. Houser, who with his family went west 23 years ago and this is their first visit to their kin-folks here. Whilein town they were guests of their cousin,, Mrs. John Strunk. —Mrs, Mary Daniels and Mrs. Mary Hoy, of Adrian, Mich., who arrived in town last Thursday for an extended stay with their relatives, visited at the home of their cousin, Mrs. J. Willard Barn- hart, on east Bishop street over Sunday. Mrs. Daniels is a native of this county, but she was only a little more than a year old when her parents moved West and is therefore as much of a stranger to her kin aud the localisms of Centre county life as Mrs. Hoy, who has never been in the State before. —Frederick Blanchard, who was here to at- tend the wedding of his sister; returned to Chi- cago last Friday, where he is in the employ of the Illinois Steel Company. He has lately had a promotion and will possibly make the West his home for several years at least as he has taken a flat in Chicago and will have. his two sisters, Misses Anna and Christine with him for the win- ter. The Blanchard home in Bellefonte has al- ways been a most attractive one and we hope that all the regrets associated with its closing may be balanced by the pleasures that shall be found in the new homes in Lock Haven and Chicago. —Mrs. John Lauth, who for the past twelve years has speni the winter in Colorado Springs, called on Friday to engage the WATCHMAN as an aid to enliven the coming year which she will pass at the old Lauth home in Howard. Her hus- band has been in Mexico for several years where he is superintendent of one of the largest iron industries in the state of Jalisco. The magnitude of the operations he is managing may be imagined since it owns and controls 5,000 peons dnd $7,000,- 000 was recently refused as a price for the inter- ests. Iron can be manufactured there, packed sixty-five miles on a mule and sold at a profit for 234 cents in the city of Mexico. —What has woman todo with politics in Penn- sylvania slnce she may not even vote on munici- pal questions? But even if she mus allow a man who owns not a cent’s worth of property to say what shall be done with hers and must allow a man who perhaps has no children or knows little of educational movements to direct the school affairs of her children, she may wield her home influence in such a way as to vote by proxy. Instance—Mrs. Bennison, of Abdera, whose hus- band has always been a Republican leader in Centre county, but not so Mrs. Bennison, whose sympathies have always been with the Demo- cratie party. When her son cast his first vote re- cently it was not a Republican ballot ! Hurrah for Mrs. Bennison ! We hope she may live to see her Democratic voter a power for good in his party and progressive enough to yield the prerogrative in municipal affairs to woman. : —Col. and Mrs. E. R.

Blair who was retired on his 70th birthday. Mr. Johnston is a son of the late J. J. Johnston, of Greensburg and brings to his new position the good wishes of a host of friends which added to those of the new ones he is sure to find awaiting him in this section ought to make his work a success—if wishes count. Life must always be “The King is dead!” ‘Long live the King!” Mr. Blair managed the position through its struggling formative period and the public is indebted to him for many more favors than was 2 accorded him.
