—~—TheChildren’s day service in the
Methodist church last Sunday evening was,
as usnal, well attended and interesting.
Scarce of cultivated flowers, the committee
on decorations showed how pleasingly
flowers of field and forest could be arrang-
ed. The children graduated from the pri-
mary department in the main room and who
received diplomas and bibles for commit-
ting the twenty-third Psalw, command-
ments, beatitudes, Apostle’s creed, the
| Lord’s prayer and names of the books of the
Bible were Georgiana, Helen P.and Miriam
Smith, Helen Eckenroth, Mary Hepburn,
Margaret Gehret and Henry Ogden. While
a service of children is beautiful at any
time, the morning hours, bright with sun-
shine, fresh flowers and happy wide-awake
child faces, seem more appropriate than the
evening when nature as well as children
drowse.
GoLD WATCH MYSTERIOUSLY Disap-
PEARS.— Wm. Doll, the baker, was minus
his gold watch which mystericusly disap-
| peared from his vest pocket between 9 and
10 o'clock Tuesday morning. Mr. Doll
bad taken off his vest and hung it up in
the kitohen of his bakery in the Bush
Arcade... At .9.0'clock he took -the- watoh
out of his vest pocket to tell the milkman
the time of day. About a balf hour later
he went to see what time it was and the
watch was gone; and though he searched
everywhere for the timepiece it could nos
be found. Outside the employees in the
bakery only one person: had been in after
the milkman went out, Jobn Delige(color-
ed) after the off-falls. Doll swore out a
warrant for Delige’s arrest but at the hear-
ing there was no evidence that he had
taken the watch and he was discharged.
Tuesday night Doll’s delivery wagon was
| housed, as usual, in the Brockerhoff stable.
Wednesday morning when the driver
brought the wagon around to the bakery
and opened up the bread box he found the
watch in the bottom of the box among the
baskets. How it got there is as much a
mystery. as its disappearance was Tuesday
moming.

The groom is a

Is 1T FAT R?—While only one of the large
dry goods houses in Bellefoute regularly
uses the WATCHMAN asa medium of reach-
ing the public we feel that itis only dne to
all of them to call attention to a manifestly
unjust action on the part of some of the
people of the town toward our home stores.
During the week there has been an itiner-
ant vender of cloth and dress goods making
a house to house canvass in Bellefonte and
we understand that he has sold goods to
the amount of nearly $1000.
Some of the purchasers are families of
men who are renting store rooms to mer-
chants in the same line of business, others
are families of business men themeelves
who expect the patronage of dry goods
merchants and their families.
Aside from the responsibility of this
itinerant salesman it is scarcely fair to onr
merchants to ask them to pay rent for store
rooms, pay taxes for public improvements,
furnish employment for clerks and con:
tribute their share to the prosperity of the
community ; while others pay no attention
whatever to_their share of the duties ot
good citizenship.
Now, a word of consolation. If the gen-
tleman who has been selling dress goods
in Bellefonte during the past few days is
the same fellow who was selling suitings
to State College students several weeks ago
—and we are told that he is—the purchas-
ers of his articles might find their great
bargains a great fake ere long. We
know, as a positive’ fact that when
the beautilul suits—in the piece—that
were sold to the College boys, came to be
made up the colors in many of them ran so

While we do not wish any such misfor-
tune to befall the Bellefonte purchasers
referred to, yet we could not censure local
merchants if, upon hearing of such, they
were t0 remark : Good for them !
ELECTION OFFICERS GO TO JAIL
Plead Guilty to Stuffing Ballot Boxes
and Are Fined and Imprisoned.
Philadelphia, June 28.—The sensa-
tional case of ballot box stuffing in the
21st division of the 13th ward, which
came to a quick and unexpected ter-
mination in quarter sessions court,

ed guilty, while the other two pleaded
not guilty. The latter pair were dis-
charged by the recommendation of

The three who pleaded guilty were
a fine of $500 and disfranchisement for
seven years; Strauss to five months

A ‘DOUBLE ‘SUICIDE
Naval Bandmaster and Wife Preferred
Death to Separation.
Paterson, N. J, June 27.—Unable to
endure the thought of a long separa:
tion involved ‘in the foreign service to
which he was ordered, Henry Eichen-
rodt, bandmaster of the United States
battleship Alabama, and ' his young
wife, to whom he had been united less

After the last cruise of the North
Atlantic fleet Eichenrodt came home
and was to have rejoined his ship last
night, with the understanding that he
{would not again obtain. shore leave be- |

Friends gathered at his home to bid

THREATEN TO BOMBARD ODESSA
Red Flag of Revolution Floats at the
Mast Head, and a Naval Battle Is
Expected When Black Sea Fleet Ar-
rives—Rioters In Odessa Are Defiant
and Rein of Terror Exists.
Odessa, June 29.—The red flag of
revolution is hoisted at the masthead
of the Kniaz Potemkine, Russia's most
powerful battleship in the Black Sea,
which now lies in the harbor in the
hands of mutineers,
The captain and most of the officers
were murdered and thrown overboard
in the open sea, and the ship is com-
pletely in the possession of the crew
and a few officers who have thrown in
their lot with the mutineers.
The guns of the Kniaz Potemkine
command the city, and in the streets
masses of striking workmen who on
Tuesday fled before the volleys of the
troops are now inflamed by the specta-
cle of open revolt on board an imperial
warship and are making a bold front
against the military.
All day long firing has been heard in
many quarters of the city. A number
of barricades have been erected, and
tumult and disorder reign.
The main squadron of the Black Sea
fleet, consisting of the battleships
Georgei Pobiedonosetz (George the Vic
torious), Tri Sviattitelia, Rostislav and
Ekaterina II, with two cruisers, are
expected to arrive here, and a regular
naval battle is in prospect.
The rioters are in a most defiant
‘mood and are not inclined to surrender
without fighting.
Reports of the TAT which oc-
curred while the battleship was at:
sea, are difficult to obtain, as the muti-
neers refuse to allow communication
with the shore, but it is ascertained
that it arose from the shooting of a
sailor who was presenting on behalf of
the crew a complaint against bad food.
| According to one version, this sailor,
whose name was Omiltchuk, objected
to the quality of the ‘“borchteh,” or
soup, and was immediately shot down
by a mess officer. The crew then rose
and seized the ship and the officers,
eight of whom were spared on condi-
tion that they would join the muti-
neers. The others were killed and their
bodies thrown overboard.
After a period of vacillation the
Kniaz Potemkine headed for Odessa
and arrived here, accompanied by two
torpedo boats. The body of Omiltchuk
was brought ashore in one of the bat-
tleship’s boats and was landed on the
new Mole, where it has been exposad
in semi-state all day. It was visited oy
thousands of persons, many of whom
placed coins in a basket at the head
of the body towards a fund to defray
the cost of the funeral, which the sail-
ors propose to hold, and ‘which the
strikers will make the occasion of a
great demonstration. +
An inscription on the breast of the
‘dead sailor states on behalf of the crew
that Omiltchuk died for the truth, be-
cause he presented a just complaint of
the crew. :
The authorities have made no at-
tempt to remove the body,’ the sailors
having served notice that: the ship
would open fire on any one seeking to
interfere with it. A police agent visit-
ing the spot was killed by strikers.
During the day a red flag was hoist-
ed on the Kniaz Potemkine, and mem-
bers of the crew rode from : ship: to
ship in the harbor, forcing the stop-
page of all work thereon. Food was
supplied them by sympathizers on
shore, who pillaged the maritime store-
houses.
The strike is now general in the
city, and the rioters are. growing .in
numbers and boldness. There were ex-
changes of shots all day, but the num-
ber of victims cannot be stated. A
bomb was thrown in Cathedral ‘Pale
ace, killing its thrower and a Dpolice-
man.
During the day ore. of the torpedo.
boats which accompanied the ‘Kniaz
Potemkine came into the harbor and
seized the Russian steamer ‘Esperanza.
The steamer was laden with 2000 tons
of coal, ‘Which the ‘battleship is taking

‘BLOODY BATTLE AT LODZ
Polish City the Scene of a Frightful

Todz,. Russian Poland, June 27.—
Since the proclamation of martial law
the situation has become more quiet.
The governor general has proclaimed
a state of siege at Lodz.
The rumor of an approaching mas-
sacre of Jews has caused 20,000 Jews
to leave the town.
The victims of last week's outbreak
total over 1200. Thus far the bodies of
848 Jews and 218 Christians have been
buried. The wounded number over 700 |

WILD RUMORS, DENIED
Russian Staff Claims They Have Woa
ictory In Manchuria.
St. Pte). June 29.—The gen-
eral staff announces that it has abso-
lutely nothing to support the many
wild reports that General Kuropatkin
has been killed or has committed sui-
cide and that a portion of the Russian
army is surrounded. On the contrary,
the staff reports that the Russians
have achieved a considerable victory.
According to the information in pos-
session of the staff, the operations
thus far have been in the nature of
preliminaries for a general engage-
ment, which has not yet begun. They
regard the movement of the Japanese
in Korea as being most serious, be-
lieving that it indicates their deter-
mination to drive a wedge northward
and isolate and invest Vladivostok be-
bore the peace negotiations begin.
There are indications that the Rus-

FOUND GIGANTIC SKELETONS
Remains of Indians. Eight Feet Tall
Discovered In Maryland.
Baltimore, Md., June 29.—The Amer-
ican has learned that a number of gi-
gantic skeletons of prehistoric Indians,
nearly eight feet tall, have been dis-
covered along the banks of the Chop-
tank river, in this state, by employes
of the Maryland Academy of Sciences
and are now at the academy's building,
where they are being articulated and
restored by the academy experts. They
will be placed on public exhibition
early in the fall.
The collection comprises: eight skele-
tons, of which some are those of women
and children. They are not all com-
plete, but all the larger bones have
been found, and there is at least one
complete specimen of an adult man.
The excavations were in progress for
months, and the discovery is consid-
ered one of great importance. The re-
mains are believed to be about 1000
years old. The formation of the ground
above and the location of the graves
gives evidence of this. During the ex-
cavations the remains of the camps of
later Indians were revealed. These
consisted of oyster shell heaps, frag-
ments of cooking utensils, etc. These
discoveries were made fully 10 feet
above the graves which contained the
giant skeletons.
INSISTS ON CONFERENCE
Germany Refuses to Accede to France
On Moroccan Question.
Paris, June 28.—Germany’s reply to
the French note on the subject of Mo-
rocco was presented during a confer-
ence between Prince Radolin, the Ger-
man ambassador, and Premier Rouvier
at the foreign office. While most
friendly in form and entirely lacking
in peremptory tone, Germany’s response
none the less maintains the position
that the Moroccan question must be
regulated by a conference of the pow-
ers, without any agreement in advance:
limiting the scope of such conference.
This was accompanied by the presenta-
‘tion of Germany's general point of
view in such an amicable spirit as to
disarm the suspicion entertained con-
cerning Germany's ulterior motives.
