THE ACADEMY SURROUNDINGS.— When
the movement to fix up the Bellefonte
Academy grounds by popular subscription
was inaugurated there was some doubt
as to the feasibility of the plan, but an
inspection of the surroundings now that
the improvements have been almost
completed will show what a wonder-
ful change has been wrought. 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.

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.

BorouGH CounciL.—The work of the

confined entirely to miscellaneous matters
with nothing of very great importance.
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. Ap-
plications for two lights on Bishop street
were also referred to the Street committee.
On recommendation of the Water commit-
tee J. Kennedy Johnston was appointed
collector of water rentals for the ensuing
year. :
Mrs. Hazel, of Madisonburg, through
ber attorney, presented to council a bill of
$41.00 for damages sustained by falling on

A PasTOR’S EXAMPLE. —Everybody in
Bellefonte will be pleased to learn that in
his pastoral work at DuBois ‘Rev. Morris
E. 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. They contemplate a vastly bigger af-
fair in every way this year than they have
had for some years. Among the features of
the day will be racing, field events, trap
shooting, a sack race, boat 1ace, a game of
ball hetween a team of Logans and one of
Undines, and various other sports. 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.

— Rev. R. Crittenden departed, yesterday, for
the Pine Creek region, Lycoming county, where
he will hold Sunday school mission services over
Sunday.
— Harry Rine, now living in Kane, and who was
called here on account of the death of his brother
Charles Rine, spent the past week visiting among
his friends in this place.
—Mrs. Ralph Mallory and her two bright child-
ren accompanied by Miss Nannie Maliory de-
p arted, on Wednesday, for an extended visit
with friends in Philadelphia.
—Wallace Reeder, who is now time-keeper for
Thos. A. Shoemaker on his big railroad con-
tract at Lewistown, was home’ to spend Sunday
w ith his mother in this place.
—Mrs. R. Crittenden and her daughter, Mrs:
Burns Crider, went to Granville, Ohio, last Sat-
urday, in response to a telegram announcing the
death in that place of Mrs. Crittenden’s brother.
—Ex-register John A. 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. We hope so,
because the ’Squire is a good fellow, and too
young to die.
—Mr. and Mrs. G. Murray Andrews came up
from their winter quarters in Philadelphia to
spend last Sunday at their home in this place
just to see that everything was in first class
shape. They returned to Philadelphia, on Mon-
day, and tomorrow they will sail for Europe, ex-
pecting to be absent three months.
—George Richards, of Philipsburg, was one of
the prominent figures in the Philipsburg delega-
tion on Tuesday. 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

/ ; 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. She is
well remembered as Miss Sallie Weaver, a daugh-
ter of the late "Squire Weaver, of this place, and
in years gone by was one of the most efficient ‘of
the Watchman’s very excellent corps of Women
workers.
—Among the Bald Eaglers who attended the
D emocralic county convention, on Tuesday, were
ex-t reasurer John Q. 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
