works to be easily spared. .

hearted, generous helpful people live.
The donation was the result of a general

Black, Mrs. Mary Woods, Mis. John
Strouse, of Boalsbhurg; Misses Ella Rossand
Freda Hess, of Linden Hall, and Mis.
Green Irvin and Mrs. Edward Sellers, of
Oak Hall. It would take up nearly all of
our space to mention the list of the con-
tributors but what they gave gives an
idea of how many they were and how gen-
erous.

tion for Y. M. C. A., church or any other
institution is unknown as defiziency or
need anywhere is supplied by the unsolicit-
ed generosity of those able who seek rather
than are sought for opportunities to give.
Question—is this a progressive twentieth
century village. or is it nourishing prinei-
ples of socialism such as Sheldon would
countenance or has it not yes forgotten the
true charity of our forefathers and which
was more akin to the Christ doctrine than
that generally obtaining nowadays ?

their horses. Brown had bath lege broken

sime. He with his wife and father Wil-
liam Brown, res ide in a small house in the
alley near the steam heat warks. The
dead man is 32 years of age and was born
in Ashlamd, Pa. He is survived by his

err: Patrick, of Scranton; John of DuBois;
Michael, of Philipsburg.
Hia body was taken throngh here last
nighs on the way to Wilkesbarre for inter-

SMALL-POX AT EAGLEVILLE.—The ex-
pected bas happened and there is now a
well developed case of small pox in the
family of Jobn A. Nestlerode who lives.a
quarter of a mile from the Eagleville sta-
tion. Two weeks ago William Nestlerode,
a son, and his family from Youngstown,
0O., visited their relatives in Liberty town-
ship and on their way home a physician
discovered that Nestlerode and his sister
bad small pox and they were taken from
the train at Altoona to the pest house. As
soon as the affair became known: the au-
thorities of Liberty township made strenu-
ous efforts to prevent the spread of the dis-
ease. The family of John A. Nestlerode
and others who were exposed to the disease
were quarantined and Dr. Kurtz, of How-
ard, was delegated to look after the health
of those in quarantine. Sunday he found
that Mrs. Nestlerode had taken the disease
and that several other members of the fami-
ly were likely getting it. Harry Rupert,a
son-in-law of Mrs. Nestlerode is the latest
victim of the epidemie.

THE PINE HALL LUTHERAN CHURCH
BURNED.—The two story frame church
which the Lutherans have used for a place

evening.
The fire was discovered about 6 o’clock

is not known it is supposed to have caught
from a super-heated flue. Early thatafter-
noon fire had been made in the stoves to
ges the church warm enough for the sing-
ers who were to he there to rehearse Christ-
mas music.
The church was 45x60 and only lately
had heen considerably remodeled.§{Two
organs were burned up. The building
was insured in the Patron’s company.
While we have no authority for the
statement it is likely that when the church
is rebuilt there will be a strong sentiment
in favor of locating it at State College,
which would eventually mean the removal
of Rev. Aikens from Pine Grove to the lat-
ter place.

THIRTY-FIVE YEARS A JUDGE.—The
Hon. C. A. Mayer, of Lock Haven, holds
the enviable position of having been on the
hench longer than any judge in Pennsyl-
vania. In speaking of his unequalled term
of service the Democrat, of bis home city,
speaks as follows :
Today. December 15th, he could be seen
sitting upon the bench in the court house
in this city, disposing of legal points with
his usual dispatch and quietly celebrating
the 73rd anniversary of his birth and at the
same time celebrating the thirty-fifth an-
niversary of his service on the bench. This
is the longest consecutive term any judge
of any district in the State has served.
Judge Mayer has five years of his: present!
term yes to serve and judging from his ap-
pearance he will serve out that time and
have several years to spare to caper with’
the yonng fellows after he has rounded out
his forty years on the bench.
