Fair Headquarters Opened.
These who have thought the great Centre
County Fair wouldn’t amount to much
this fall are beginning to change their
minds in the face of the unusual prepara-
tions in progress for the event. Heretofore
there has always been considerable an-
noyance te would-be exhibitors by reason
of the fact that there was no regular place
for them to get needful information. On
Monday the large store room on Spring
street, next door to James Schofield’s sad-
dlery, was opened as headquarters with
Mr. L. A. Schaeffer in charge. He will be
glad to receive everyone who has anything
to exhibit and furnish all the information
and help at his command. The public,
generally, is invited to call at the head-
quarters and give any information they
may have that will be helpful to the in-
terest of the fair.
A number of exhibits have already been
entered and chief among them is one that
will be made by L. H. Musser, the im-
plement dealer. He has engaged a space
100x60 and his firms will make such an
exhibit of a farm machinery, gasolene
engines, etc., all in operation, as has never
sen seen in Centre county. For this pur-
pose two car loads of the latest improved
machines will be shipped direct from the
factory for the exhibit. Farmers have al-
ways complained that the implement feat-
ure has never been complete enough. This
year they will have no cause for such gom-
+ ment.
On Monday a force of eiirpenters and
decorators went to work on the buildings
and fences so that within another week the
grounds will be in the finest condition
possible. ! 4
A lively interest is being aronsed in the
. competitive township exhibit, which pfom-
ises to he one of the features of thelair.

that are offered as prizes you will be

BELLEFONTE ACADEMY OPENING.—The
Bellefonte Academy opened for the ensuing
term on Tuesday under the most auspi-
cious circumstances of any year in the his-
tory of the institution. There are in at-
tendance this year from forty to fifty board-
ing students, one-third more than last year’s
big attendance, so that every available
space for dormitory use is occupied. The
list of day students is also large, making
the aggregate attendance a banner one for
the Academy.
With the new building, the beautified
surroundings, the largely increased corps
of instructors and the much larger enroll-
ment of pupils the Academy, under the very
able management of Mr. Jas R. Hughes
has grown to be an institution that is not
only proving an important factor in the
educational world but one of which Belle-
fonte has every reason to feel proud.
re Qt,
IGNORANCE THAT 1S TO OUR SHAME!—
The people of Bellefonte have always jost-
ly prided themselves on their culture but it
is not being held fast to by the younger
generation as it should be and we must
look to it, or like some other good things,
once lost it will be with difficulty regained.
Objections have been made that the opera
house management is too lax in demand-
ing quiet from the andiences that attend
and the noise has usually been laid upon
the gallery gods and excused as pardona-
ble because they know no better. Isis
oupardonable in anyone for courtesy is the
inalienable right of every man, woman and
clk:ild, however poor they may be in mongy.
The discourtesy and disorder that were
shown last Friday night while Mr. Griffith
gave his very fine presentation of ‘‘King
Richard III’ can noi be wholly attributed
to the gallery. It was shared in by young
women and men who have had every
advantage of birth and training and from
whom better things might be expected.
With the exception of Thos. W. Keene there
bas never been in Bellefonte so gifted a
Sbakespearean scholar as is Mr. Griffith,
and itis to onr shame that some of his
finest pieces of impersonation were greeted
with silly laughter and ill-timcd applause.
It is to be greatly regretted that such an
open display of iguorance of the great
Shakespeare should be shown in what claims
to be an intelligent community! Mr. Grif-
fith, the true gentleman, gave his best,seem-
ingly oblivious of theill bred audience to
which he was playing and for the sake of
those to whom he gave great pleasure
aod profit we hope he may not lay it up
against us to prevent his ever again delight-
ing those appreciative of his talent.

DEATH or MRs. Eva V. GRAY. —It was
a shock to the genera! public when the
death of Mrs, Eva V. Gray, widow of the
late Dr. Edward J. Gray, was announced
last Thursday afternoon in Williamsport
while on the operating table. Last January
Dr. Gray died in Johns Hopkins hospital
‘after having undergonea severe operation
and the death of Mrs. Gray so soon after
and in much the same way seems indeed
strange. Perhaps there are few women in
Central Pennsylvania better known than |
Mrs. Gray, for as the wile of a man dis-
tinguished as was Dr. Gray and with him
indissolubly associated in the success of
Dickinson Seminary of which he was presi.
dent for thirty years. she met more people
in a year than most women know in a life
time and her personal influence was great
for she was a most charming and talented
woman in every way, an ideal helpmate for
so striking a personality as was Dr. Gray.
From the Lock Haven Democrat is taken
the following account of her death :
Mis. Gray returned to her home from
the eeashore about two weeks ago’ and,
while not in the best of health, was not re-
garded as ill until a week ago. On Wed.
nesday it was determined that an operation
was necessary and Jast Tharsday afternoon
was fixed as the time. Drs. Koser and
Donaldson performed the operation, which
was not at all a serious one, avd it was re-
garded as a success in every particalar.
Her respiration and temperature were good
| and she was rallying nicely when, about
ten minutes alter the operation was com.
pleted, she suddenly ceased to breathe, says
the Gazette and Bulletin. Artificial respira-
tion was at once resorted to, but without
effect.
She was born in Wellsboro and was 65
years old. She was the organizer of the
Seminary branch of the{Woman’s Mission-
ary society, which has established the Eva
Gray scholarship and is educatiog a girl in
Japan. Was one of the board of managers
of the Home of the Friendless and also of,
the Y. W. C. A., of which latter she bad
also been a vice president, she was one of
the original members of the Clio club. Mrs.
Gray is survived by two sons, William E.
and Edward J., and by two sisters and
three brothers, Mrs. Charles S. Bundy, of
Washington, D. C.; Mrs. E. E. Knapp,
John B. Emery and William V. Emery, of
Williamsport,and Frank B. Emery, of Chi-
©ago.
‘the funeral took place Saturday after-:
noon and was strictly private.
Lor W. KIMPORT.—Last week we pub-
lished a brief notice of the death of Lot W.
Kimport, which occurred on Thursday
after a month’s illness with paralysis. His
death was not unexpected and he passed
away surrounded by his wife and children.
Deceased was the youngest son of ‘John
and Elizabeth Fortney Kimport and - was
born on the well-known Kimport farm in
Harris township, June 16th, 1837, so that
he was past 68 years of age. From early
manhood until his death he followed the
occupation of a farmer, proving one of the
most successful and prosperous on the South
side. He was a man who worked not only
for his own henefit but at all times sought
to promote the best interests of his friends
and neighbors as well as the community in
which be lived. In politics he was a Demo-
crat--clean, staunch and{progressive. In dis-
position he was one of the most genial and
hospitable of men. A good citizen and
neighbor and an affectionate husband and
father. He was a member of the Methodist
church and lived the life of an upright,
christian gentleman.
In the spring of 1866 he was united in
marriage with Miss Rebecca Shirk, who
survives him with two sons and three
daughters, namely : Samuel, of State Col-
lege; John F., of Boalsburg; Mrs. Will
Wagner, of Altoona; Maude and Myra at
home. He also leaves one brother and
sister, James and Lizzie Kimport, at the
old home.
The funeral was held on Saturday morn-
ing from the house and was very largely
attended, the floral offerings of sorrowing
friends being most profuse. The services
were conducted by ‘Rev. Edgar Heckman,
assisted by Revs. Black and Stoneoypher.
Interment was made in the Branch ceme-
tery.

suffered two weeke or more. From the
very first everything possible was done to
