——The Curwensville Mountaineer has a
notion that ROOSEVELT has a chance to car-
ry Missouri. There is about as much
chance of that as there is of LANGLEY’S
airship flying to the moon. ROOSEVELT,
of all possible Republican candidates, is the
one who will appeal least to the people of
Missouri; for isn’t be the very same
ROOSEVELT who only last year kicked so
strenuously about what he had to eat at
St. Louis and acted like a boy of seven over
it?

when he has been a respectable resident of

The Republican County Convention.
There were just seventy-seven of the
faithful banging onto the horns of the altar
and nine or eleven scattered through the
back pews when exhorter Wilbur Force
Reeder call the Republicans to their ‘‘con-
fession of faith’? last Tuesday. It was a
small, but earnest looking gathering and I
was just wondering whesher they were all
thzare when in walks Col. Jim Coburn,
“Sunny Jim,” you know. Under his
breath the gentleman sitting beside me re-
marked ‘‘and last of all came Satan.’’ Of
course that wae only a little joke, so it is
passed up to you for a laugh.
Most everybody wore an expectant look,
though a few had on celluloid collars and
some others putty faces. It was an inter-
esting looking gathering for a physiogno-
mist and bow former Judge Furst bad the
nerve to look it in the face and say ‘I am
going to vote the straight ticket this fall,”
he, alone, knows.
George ex ‘‘Big Five’’ Rees read the call
as usual, but he wouldn’t have done even
that bad there been any danger of a letter
bearing a Scranton post-mark showing up,
and then Frank Carl Williams named A.
G. Avery, cashier of a Philipsburg bank,
for chairman. It had been rumored around
that ‘Avery bas money’’ so in light of the
departure of the ‘‘real thing’’ from the Re-
publican camp in Centre county and the
slump in Consolidated Lake Superior the
boys are very willing to have him‘‘butt in”’
to the game just as soon as possible. It
must be said for Mr. Avery that he has a
voice so musical as to be entirely out of
harmony with the discord of the average
Republican gathering. He is a purty man
and is all right in a bank, but at Republi-
can conventions—Well, that’s different.
After D. A. Irvin, of Marion, and John
'W. Stuart, of State College, had been elect-
ed secretaries. and George ex ‘‘Big Five’
Rees, reading clerk; the committee on res-
olutions was appointed as follows: Dr.
James A. Thompson, Half Moon ; John
Harris, Walker; H. C. Woodring, Worth;
Hon. Harry Curtin, Boggs, and John W.
Stuart, State College. This heavy body of
resoluters retired at once so that the ‘‘tick-
et of leave’ men went right on with the
program.
Some one resolved that Uncle Solly
Dresser be endorsed for Congress again and
be permitted to seiect his own conferees
and also permitted to contribute twenty-
three thousand dollars for the Love cam-
paign fund this fall. Uncle Solly is an easy
mark, you know, and, maybe, just to show
him that they ‘‘ain’t no rail-splitters’’ the
local managers wili knock off about one
thousand from the tap,but that depends en-
tirely on whether Lake Superior makes
good hetween this time and election day.
‘Take and Tell you’’ Johnny Gowland,
looking as if he had the Philipshurg post-
office right under his vest at that very mo-
ment, was the next to his feet to name Se-
bastian M. Miller, of Philipsburg,and Sam-
uel B. Miller, of Bellefonte, as delegates
to the state convention. They went through
with a hurrab that brought the Bellefonte
Miller to his feet in grateful recognition of
the honor. Sam is nothing, if nota Re-
publican, and he made a few sinister re-
marks for the benefit of the wise (?) men
who, a month ago, were trying to show him
the way.
‘‘Take and Tell you’’ was an important
factor Tuesday. He had two slips to read.
The second one resolated that Col. Wilbur
Force Reeder be endorsed for delegate to
the national convention and be permitted
to name his own conferees.
As the committee on resolutions had not
finished subscribing to the paper that bad
been prepared for them Col. Reeder was
called on for aspeech. The Colonel was in
a happier frame of mind than he was last
summer when he grew personal and almost
lacerated our super-sensitive feelings, but
then the effects of bitter medicine are not
ever-lasting and the Love dope was too
fresh then to set well on him. He march-
ed up San Juan hill with Roosevelt and af-
ter he got up there,just jumped off,because
he had nothing more to say. He didn’t
have to fall bs ck on the colored regiment
to fetch him down again like his living ex-
ample of all that is strenuous and brave
did.
Oratory was running rampant when
‘‘Sunny Jim’’ was called upon. It’s a
shame to inject Presbyterian dogmas into
unsuspecting Republicanism and I won-
dered whether the boys all had their blue
socks ou, for a proper understanding of his
‘‘confession of faith.’”” It was so out of his
ordinary that he had the crowd guessing
proper by the time he sat down and former
Judge Furst stepped to the fore. The lat-
ter posed as a prophet and declared thas he
would stand for every idea promulgated by
Roosevelt except the big families. As a
prophet is not without honor save in his
own country I infer that the Judge didn’t
scare any of the younger fellows present
very much so that there is not any imi-
nent danger of a falling of of the crop of
Republicans in Centre county.
At this juncture some modest little voice
called: ‘‘John Daley.”” John has been
suspected of practising ventriloguism be-
fore and there are those who eay he called
on himself. However that may be he was
Johnny on the spot with the nsual bunch
of poetry. Everybody thought it was right
good up to the time that he commenced to
toot his horn for the Legislature and then
John Knisely, who was standing back in
one of the aisles to keep anyone from get-
ting out, remarked to a friend. ‘‘Now,
wasn’t that a h——1 ef a thing for him to
do.” Of course it was John. Bat then if
you wants to run for the Legislature, too,
it’s up to you to hand out a few such
tricks to the Cartin township statesman.
Judge Love was not present, nor wae
COLONEL chambers. The latter left town
that morning, saying that he had forgotten
all about the convention. His memory will
be improved hy the time of the next con-
vention, however, for it is whispered that
he intends having himself made county
chairman just to show Reeder that a COL-
ONEL can’t stand for being made sixteenth
secretary in the organization. Aunt Clem-
intina was there, though, with her heard
all fresh from the curl papers and it made
me blush for shame at ever having said
anything unkind of the dear old soul. By
this time the convention had taken on the
appearance of an experience meeting and
just as it was beginning to look as if auntie
would tell more than she knew brother
Samuel Miller rose in his seat and moved
for adjournment. Rok %

The report of Rev. Dr. Silas Swallow,
superintendent of the Methodist book
rooms, was laid on the table by a vote of
97 to 68. After refusing to receive Dr.
Swallow’s report of the book room concern,
the conference returned to him a check for
$300 for superanuuated Methodist clergy-
men. Bishop McCabe addressed the con-
ference complaining of what Dr. Swallow's
paper, the Pennsylvania Methodist, had said
about his address before the Erie confer-
ence, in which he spoke disparagingly of
Wendell Phillips, Lloyd Garrison and
Horace Greeley, because of their radical
position on the abolition question and com-
pared them to the radicals on the prohibi-
tion question.
Dr. Swallow, in reply, defended radicals
on moral issues, saying, it was necessary
forty years ago and is as necessary now,
that the tardy one should be prodded.
And ‘‘that the prodding sometimes reaches
a bishop,”’ added Dr. Swallow. Then,
turning to the bishop, the doctor offered
his hand and said that he loved him. all
except his politics. Some one started
‘‘Blest Be the Tie That Binds’ and all
sang it with a will, which ended the con-
troversy.

New York 2 St reets
How Some of the Old ones Gained Their Names.)
The churchwardens of old Trinity
thurch had more to do with naming
the streets in the lower part of old New
York than all other authorities com-
bined. To be sure, the quaint burgo-
masters, before the first Trinity church
was built, after hearing the pros and
cons of landowners, found names for,
many streets significant of certain es-
tablished facts, for streets and byways
below Maiden lane on the easterly side
of the Heere straat, afterward changed
to Great George street, in honor of
King George, by the authorities of
Trinity. Then our patriots ignored the
name and called it Bloomingdale road
and then the Broad way, simplified
into Broadway.
The present Trinity church, at the
head of Wall street, is the third edifice
of that name, the two preceding struec-
tures erected upon the same ground
having been burned, but the first was
one of the first churches erected in this
city, and Trinity has always been the
wealthiest corporation, patronized by
the richest and most influential families
for ages. The churchwardens of this
church had their own way about nam-
ing the streets from the church to
what is now Twenty-third street, west
of Broadway, along the Hudson river
front, because they owned that im-
mense property.
In the olden time Queen Anne of
England owned what was known as
the Queen's farm, which covered the
land commencing at St. Paul’s church
and extending to what is now Twenty-
third street, bounded by Broadway on
the east and the Hudson river on the
west.
"Vestry street was so styled by Trin-
ity because the church had a vestry in
that street between Hudson and Green-
wich - streets. Church street was so
called because it bounded the west
side of St. Paul's churchyard. Rector
street was honored by the residence of
the rector of Trinity, Barclay and Ve-
sey streets were named after two cler-
gymen of the church.
Trinity's officers determined that the
main artery of the city should run
through its land, and, grounded in their
belief in their ability to carry out their
intention, Hudson street was laid out.
St. John’s park and many other im-
provements were offered as induce-
ments to purchasers of land, and St.
John’s chapel was erected and finished
in 1808, one of the handsomest pieces
‘of church architecture in the city.
Trinity counted without an expression
of the majority of the people and fail-
‘ed in its endeavor. :
The arrogance of the church fretted
the good people, and more to spite the
churchwardens than because Broad-
way was nearer the center of the city
Broadway acquired the preference, and
the glory of Hudson street departed,
never to return.
It has been remarked that the streets
laid out by Trinity on the farm are all
perfectly straight, while many in the
lower part of the city are wonderfully
crooked. The explanation of this lies
in the fact that scarcely a small hill
existed on the farm, while below there
crooked lanes and byways, to say noth-
ing of cow paths, were turned into
streets, which ran in devious ways
around hills, valleys and swamps.
Many streets were named after the
owners of property adjacent to or
through which the ways were laid.
Moore street was originally the line
of the first wharf erected in the city.
Colonel Moore was formerly a large
owner of the lots when first built upon.
John street was named after John
Harpending, who resided in Broadway,
and John street. when first laid out
passed through his garden. Cortlandt,
Dey and Beekman streets were carried
through the property of the men after
whom they were named. Ann street
was named after Ann Beekman. Van-
dewater, Roosevelt, Rutgers, Gouver-
neur, Harrison, Lispenard, Bayard, De
Lancey, Rivington and Willett streets
were so designated because they pass-
ed through the property of people bear-
ing these names.
Hester street was named after one of
the Bayard family and Catharine after
Catharine Rutgers. Henry street was
named after a son of the Rutgers fam-
ily, and Jacob street bounded the Ja-
cob Leisler estate. Frankfort street
was also a boundary of the same es-
tate. Leisler was a native of Frank-
furt. James street was named after a
member of the De Lancey family, as
was also Oliver street. Batavia lane
‘was 80 called because the Roosevelt
estate, through which this street was
run, was called New Batavia.
Division street was originally the di-
vision line between the De Lancey and
Rutgers farms. Leonard street was
named after one of the Lispenards,
and Orchard street was cut through
the orchard of the De Lancey farm.
Sheriff street was called after Sheriff
‘Willett, through whose estate it was
carried. Mangin and Goerck streets
jwere named after the two city survey-
ors who laid out the river line.
| The first mayor of New York after
the Revolution, a true patriot, was
James Duane, who was honored by the
maming of Duane street after him.
Elm, Orange and Mulberry streets
were laid out through public property
iin the vicinity of the Collect pond and
we their names to the peculiarities
they suggest. Cherry street was origi-
inally run through “the road by the
icherry trees” and named accord‘ngly.

Thirteen Blacks Dead as a Result of
Clash With Whites.
Two Killed Saturday in Arkansas Race War Makes
Hoodoo Trial.
LITTLE RocK, Ark., March 27.—A spee-
ial to the Gazette from Dewitt says:
Two more negroes have been killed in
the clash between whites and blacks at St.
Charles, 15 miles from here, in Texarkana
connty. This brings the total of dead ne-
groes up to 13, all of them being killed
within the past week. The two last ne-
groes killed were the Griffin brothers, Hen-
ry and Walker, who were the cause of the
trouble. It is believed shat they were
killed yesterday.
In the St. Charles neighborhood the ne-
groes largely outnumber the whites and
tionble has been brewing for a long time,
and is is said that the negroes for the past
two years have been getting insolent and
belligerent. It is now believed that the
leaders of the unrnly elements have been
killed and that further trouble will he
averted.
Near St. Charles ‘the negroes are quiet
aud are attending strictly to their work.
The trouble originated last Monday, when
the two Griffins met two white men, broth-
ers, named Searcy. The Searcys and Grif-
fins bad an altercation a few days before
and when they met the trouble was renew-
ed. One of the negroes armed himself
with the leg of a chair and, with his broth-
er, aseanlted the white men, beating them
so severely that one is now on the verge of
death and the other is in a critical condi-
tion. In an effort to arrest the Griffins, 13
negroes have heen killed.
