The old, worn-out . fence that surrounded the grounds and which had been an eye-sore for years, basall been torn away and will be entirely dispensed with in the future. The grounds in the front of the Academy building have been filled up sufficient to make one wide large terrace, while the remainder of the ground has been cleaned up and sloped down gradually to the street. In the rear of the buildings hundreds of loads of filling were required to filliup the unsightly hole that had been used as an ash dump and for other refuse. This bas all been filled up, nicely terraced and sodded. A six-foot flag-stone pavement is now being put down through the entire length of the grounds, from north to south, on the eastern side of the building, while a flag- stone pavement and steps run from the street up the north end 'of the grounds 0 connect with the main pavement. Branch pavements will be,laid to each end entrance to the main building while a gravel walk will be put down around the rear. Is is the intention to further beautify the grounds by the planting of shade trees wherever needed. Luckily these improvements bave been so nearly completed that they will be fin- ished entirely by the latter part of next we ek when the Academy will celebrate its centennial anniversary. And then, when the many strangers,old students and others, will be here to witness and participate in the celebration those who contributed so freely and willingly to the grounds im- provement fund will bave just cause to congratulate themselves that the result has heen so marvelous, and no one can help but see that the money contributed for this purpose was well and wisely spent. eee A ACADEMY CENTENNIAL SOUVENIRS.— During the celebration of the Academy cen tenial next week there will be on sale three different souvenirs of the event and, as the number of each will be limited, persons desiring either one or all should make their purchases promptly or they may not be able to get them. The first and most valuable souvenir will be a medal made out of pieces of the old bell picked up in the ruins after the fire. ‘This bell was possibly the oldest in the county. It is not known just when it was put on the Academy but its age was fixed from the fact that on one side wasa large cross and the word ‘‘Espana, 1802.” The souvenir medals will be about the size of a quarter. On the one side will be the old Academy building in relief with the date ‘1805. On the reverse side will be the new building and date 1905. The medals are handsome souvenirs and will make nice charms or pins. Another souvenir will be a badge, con- sissing of a medallion on which will hea picture of the new building in bold relief. Attached to the medallion will be a silk ribbon streamer properly inscribed. The third sonvenir will be the centennial program. This will contain not only a brief history of the Academy with a full program of all the centennial events, but will be handsomely illustrated with six- teen large plates of buildings and people ‘connected with the institution since its inception. > TYRONE WANTS PRUNER ORPHANAGE. —A#$ Monday night's meeting of the Belle- 'fonte borough council no mention was ‘made of matters pertaining to the Pruner orphanage. The Tyrone council, however, voted to accept the bequest. Chairman ‘Armstrong, of the legal committee, present- “ed the opinions of ex-Judge John G. Love, ‘of this place, and O. A. Hewitt Esq., of Hollidaysburg, in which they held that ‘the trust was already vested in the” hor- oughs and that only the court could relieve them of the obligation. After the reading ‘ol the two opinions, which bad heen se- cared by Mr. Waring and were quite lengthy, Mr. Armstrong offered a resolu- gion that the offer of Mus. Sallie M Hayes 't0 pay Tyrone borough $10,000 in case it resoinds its action accepting the trust im- posed by the Pruner bequest, he declined; fusal of Bellefonte horough to co-operate with Tyrone horough in conducting the home for friendless children founded by My. Pruner, the borough of Tyrone de- olares its intention to take charge of the properties, as surviving trustee and, to exe- Mr. Dolaway’s motion the resolution was unanimously adopted. And thus Tyrone has voted to accept the bequest and establish the orphavage while Bellefonte has voted to refuse the hequest. ‘What the final developments will be is hard to predict. —— A Jox TURNED To SorrROW.—On Friday, May 26th, Dr. L. M. Holloway, of Salona, arrived at Akron,O., on a visit to his moth- er and brother. The same morning Rev. H. .C. Holloway, of Bellefonte, reached Ak- ron, neither one baving any knowledge of the other’ g visit, The next day, Saturday, ‘their brother, E. P. Holloway, complained ofa bad headache; Sunday morning he was tod fndisposed to get up. He gradually w worse until noontime when he be- eame nnconscions and at 2 o’clock he died. Thus what was anticipated to be a trip of pléasare was one of exceptional sorrow. and that in the event of the continued re- oute the trust to the best of its ability.

The Water committee reported the laying of the twelve-inch water pipe on Allegheny street completed, and the Street committee reported the abutments for the bridge over the race finished and the superstructure here ready to be put on. The building of sewers on Thomas and south Spring streets was referred to the Street committee with power to act.

Swartz is meeting with exceptional suc- cess; and that more than that he is setting an example for the right that others are beginning to follow. Speaking of his work in that place the Patton Courier says that on the Sunday prior to Memorial day he preached a sermon in which he took a stand against the desecration of the day. Right- eously indignant that no other observance of Memorial day bad been arranged for in Patton outside of ball games, pionics and dances, he announced that asa personal protest he proposed to be at the church at 2 o’clock in the afternoon of May 30th and from there go to ‘‘God’s acre,”’ and dec- orate the graves of those who bad answered the lass call of the great commander. He would do this if he had to go alone, hut he invited his parishioners to accompany him. It is needless to say he did not go alone, hut was accompanied by a large crowd. THE LocAN PicNic.—The Logan boys -are making great preparations for their an- nual picnic at Hecla park, Thursday, June 220d.

There will be plenty to eat for all who will at- tend. Special trains will be run to suit the convenience of all comers and goers.

Rupp, looking better than he has for some time back, was a Bellefonte vis- itor, Tuesday, and took as much interest in the Democratic county convention as if he were a candidate himself. —Sheriff H. 8. Taylor accompanied by his wife, his mother and his sister Berenice, departed yes- terd ay noon for West Point, where they go tosee the yearly inspections and graduating exercises of the class of 1905. . —Amongthe Democrats in town on Tuesday was John Smith, the hustling Spring Mills furni- tur e man, and while he didn’t have time to get into the convention he had quite a little to say during the usual lobby that goes on before the hour of calling to order. —Michael Dempsey, of Osceola, one of the Democrats who count for something over in Rush township, dropped in for a minute on Tuesday; but he was so busy with politics that he couldn’t spare more than time enough to drop a dollar into the Watchman till. —J. G. Dauberman, the man who will do his part toward keeping the people of Centre Hall from falling prey to the beef trust, wasin town on Tuesday acting as a delegate to the conven. tion. He is a good Democrat and a good butcher and that is a combination hard to beat. —'Squire O. H. Nason, of Martha Furnace, was in town on Monday looking as it the sundry medicines he has been dosing himself with for the past few years have at last combined to ef- fect a cure that will be permanent.

It was his first offense as a delegate, but we are sure that he had such a pleasant time mixing up with the Democrats over here that it won’t be his last. Mr. Richards conducts a meat market in Philipsburg that does a business worth the while. —Mr. Lawrence L. Brown, of Sandy Ridge, was a visitor in Bellefonte Wednesday and yesterday. His trips here are so infrequent now that when his friends saw him this time they hardly recog- nized him as he looks if anything even more youthful than he did when he was one of the coal barons of Bellefonte and incidentally manipglated the Republican politics of the county. Mrs. Sarah Shaffer, of Vilas, who was the 4 / ; ygliojd fe this we, foe ol Srna! dapat a pt pei) i a guest of Mrs. James Kellerman for a few days w as called home before she had concluded her visit; owing tothe illness of Mr. Shaffer.

Miles and ex-sheriff. W. M, Cronistér. The latter did not make his appear- ance until Tuesday morning but the former came down Monday evening with the Philipsburg del- egation in tow and itis needless to say that in keeping close to John Q. they did not miss any- thing that went to the make up ofa royll good time. —On Sunday editor 1. H. Harter EN Mrs, Harter departed to join the National Editorial as- sociation excursion on the trip to Guthrie, Okla., where the annual convention is being held. From Guthrie the excursion will be to San Diego, Cal., and thence north to Portland, Or., to take in the Lewis and Clark exposition. The return trip will be by way of the Yellowstone park, the Dakotas and the Mississippi river to St. Louis. 5 —William B. Gingerich, of Martha Furnace, was in town on Tuesday serving as a delegate to tlie convention and attending to a little business for his honored father, our friend Samuel Ging- erich. William is a worthy son of a worthy parent and it was especially pleasing to us to see the evidence that the senior Gingerich has start. ed the junior off on the path of Democracy; where there is need for just such intelligent enthu- siastic young workers. —When ex-prothonotary W. F. Smith, of Mill- heim, failed to come to Bellefonte on Monday eve ning it looked very much as if the Democrats would have to hold one county convention with- out his presence, if not his assistance, but when Tuesday morning's train came in over the TLiewis- burg Bill was one of the first to ‘‘bob up serene- ly,” and, though he was not a delegate he wasas busy asa wood chopper all morning—so much so, in fact, that he failed to get around for éven a g ame with his old cronies in the pool room, —Perry Wood, who has been visiting his par- ents, Rev. and Mrs. John A.
