——1It is said there are at least fifteen
vacant houses in Bellefonte. This is unus-
ual and has not occurred for several years,
but from the way they were going on Wed-

¢heir parents were necessarily frightened
for a little while.

adaughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Brooke,
of Pleasant Gap, was married to Mr. John
‘M. Royer, a sou of B. W. Royer, of Marion

mony.
After the nuptial knot was tied a wed-
ding supper was served at the home of the
bride’s grandmother, Mis. James Brooks,
with whom she has resided for some time.
Mrs. HueH S. TAYLOR.—Not for a
long time has the announcement of a death
in this community been received with
more genuine gorrow and regret than was
that of Mrs. Catharine Bauer Taylor, wife
of sheriff Hugh S. Taylor, who passed
away at the family home, on east High
street, last Friday evening after a week’s
suffering of acute Bright's disease. Mrs.
Taylor’s condition had been most critical
from the Monday previous and several
physicians or trained nurses were with her
constantly and from Friday morning it
was generally known that there was no
hope of her life being spared.
Through her husband’s prominence in
military and political circles Mrs. Taylor
enjoyed an acquaintance with an unusual
nomber of people and, although of a very
quiet and rather retiring disposition, was
endeared to everyone of them by her pleas-
ing personality and considerate gracious-
ness. A daughter of the late Nicholas!and
Mrs. Marion Bauer, her entire life was
spent in this place where she was born 37
years ago on the 19th of Feb. Her mar-
riage to Captain Taylor took place in No-
vember, 1894, and her home relations were
particularly happy. Asa hostess she was
exceedingly generous and thoughtful and
to those in need gave most unselfishly both
of her time and means. She was a devout
church woman and took an active interest
in most of the charitable organizations of
the town, but pre-eminent over all her oth-
er characteristics devotion to her family
and home ranked first. ;
She is: survived by her husband and
four little children, Hugh, Vincent, Frank
and Mary. The infant son, who was born
at her death, died on Wednesday and was
laid by her side. Of her father’s family
her mother, her sister Josephine and two
brothers, Vincent and John, are living.
Funeral services were held in the Catho-
lic church on Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock. Rev. Father McArdle officiuted at
requinm mass with the largest congregation
present be had ever had on a similar occa-
sion. His tribute to her memory was the
highest possible to be paid a human soul,
The floral’ offerings were beautiful and
the body with its pall of Easter lilies and
roses was carried to its final resting place
in the Catholic cemetery by Ellis L. Orvis,
J. Mitchell Cunningham, William Lyon,
Calvin Harper, Mitchell T. Gardner, Dr.
Joseph Brockerhoff, A. G. Archey and
Thomas H. Harter.

A SUGGESTION As TO THE RETROGRA-
DATION IN TEETH.—Professor Wm. A.
Buckhout read a very interesting paper on
‘“Teeth”’ before the Natural History club
of State College, Wednesday evening, March
23rd. This is a subject which is arousing,
interest, scientific and popular, and is of
vital importance as the opinion has been
hazarded that we are to become a toothless
and hairless people and there is no disput-
ing the fact that there is a gradual deca-
dence in these epidermal appendages. Even
though this decadence may indicate an
advanced stage of intellectual development,
as has heen suggested, it is so marked a
blemish in physical development that it
would take ages to accommodate our ideas
of perfection to such a change and present
generations will continue to be interested
in methods best calculated to develop and
preserve the hair and teeth.
Professor Buckhout offers the rather novel
theory that the teeth are perhaps beiug too
carefully nurtured and are suffering from
disuse; to 1llustrate—we caution a child
against biting crusts and other hard sub-
stances rather than encourage him to de-
velop his teeth by just such exercise. Prim-
itive man would, of necessity, be obliged
to use his teeth as weapons and utensils
and;would subject, them to usage much
more constant and; rigorous than is now
deemed desirable and it may bave been
just this that gave us a structure, beautiful
hard and serviceable as a tooth.
After hedring and discussing the paper,
the club entertained informally in honor
of Pro fessor Buckhout, who is the pioneer
in natural history work at the College and
to whose interest in this subject is largely
due all that has been developed along
these lines at the State College.

SMALL-POX MAKES FIGHTERS — Dr.
Kurtz, of Howard, came up to Bellefonte
on Monday looking and, we have no doubt
feeling, decidedly worse than any of the
small-pox victims of that community.
He is the state quarantine officer at
Howard and on Sunday morning, in com-
pany with a young assistant, went to the
home of Mrs. Weneel, in which there had
been small-pox, to fumigate it and raise
the quarantine. Boarding with Mrs. Wen-
sel is John Mokle, who is said to havea
grudge against the doctor, whom he blames
with having set his leg improperly after he
had fallen off a load of hay some time ago
and broker it. Mokle is said to have re-
marked that if the doctor came near the
place he would go out faster than he ‘went
in.
Appearances are very much to the effect
that Mokle knew what he was talking
about. The doctor has had him arrested
on four ‘counts and he is under $500 bail
for his appearance at court.

IT 1sNow MAJ. TAYLOR.—At a meet-
ing of the line offices of the Fifth Reg. N.
G. P. in Altoona on Tuesday Capt Hugh.
S. Taylor was elected to succeed Major
John H. West, of Hollidayshurg, who was
placed on the retired list on March 1st.
Sixteen of the regimental officers were
present, though Capt. Taylor was not there
by reason of the'great sorrow he has had
in his home so recently. The honor came
to him entirely unsolicited as partial recog-
uition of his long and enthusiastic connec-
tion with the Guard. He enlisted as a
private in Co. B in 1886 and ten years later
rose to its command; a position he has
held ever since. Daring his leadership the
company has attained the highest rank in
the State and won several medals for pro-
ficiency.

are you doing now Billy ?’ he said : “Oh, just
wandering around.” That isn’t his regular oc-

penter and just as soon as the spring opens up
right he expects to goto Winburn to help the
Karstetters along on that big contract they have
out there.
—Harvey Bowersox, of State College, was in
town on Monday attending to a little business for
kimself and some of his friends up there.
Though only a young man Harvey has practically
retired and calls himself a ‘gentleman’ now.
Well, he always was that only in his earlier days
he worked so hard that he hadn’t time to think
much about it. As a result of his work, however,
he owns a nice home at State College, a good

J. Stephens, of Raven,saved the day. The lattter
was born and raised at Port Matilda and is a son
of Samuel Stephens, deceased. He is now in the

for a lot of remitting letters next week.
—Mr. H. C. Holter, of Howard, was in town on
business on Monday and brought his liitle son up
with him to enjoy the day in Bellefonte. Mr.
Holter is one of the staunch old Republican soi-
diers who has been given the cold shoulder by
his party many-a-time. He has frequently ap-
plied for the Howard post-office, but it seems
that all the use they have for him is his vote, He
is one of the deserving who has never been
recognized.
—Perhaps the rain of yesterday suggested to
Mr. John M. Homan that a roof for one’s head is
a good investment, as he braved the inclement
weather and came to Bellefonte to consummate
the final arrangements whereby he becomes
possessor of the Corl property at State College;
When comfortably provided with a home wha
can make a man’s fireside more complete than
his home paper ? So thinks Mr. Homan and he
accordingly renewed his subscription. May his
household gods continue to smile !
Mr. B. F. Thomas, of Snow Shoe, is a heartsome
visitor to have on a rainy day such as yesterday.
He has perhaps never considered himself a poet
but there is more consolation in the silver lining
he gives the editor’s cloud than in all the poets,
“Behind the clouds is the sun still shining!” It
may hava been the consciousness of the satisfac-
tion he was bestowingithat made his smile seem
80 [pleasant and his appearance so prospercus
and good to look on. Snow Shoe must be an
all right place to live in nowadays. It is certain-
ly a good place in which to have subscribers,
judging from Mr. Thomas’ generosity.
