great pleasure to Mrs. Elliott to be here in
the summer she feels like migrating to
Knoxville at the first soggestion of cold
weather, especially now that she is not en-
joying the best of health. We wish she
might have waited to enjoy with us the
big Democratic victory that is to be ours
this coming election."
——Friday evening Geo. Brown, (colored )
janitor at the Bellefonte Academy, had a
lot of old paper and rubbish in the furnace
room he intended burning in the furnace, |
but in raking out the ashes a spark fell
among the paper which was soon ablaze.
An alarm of fire brought a large crowd to
the Academy but no damage was done
aside from badly smoking the interior of
the building. To prevent a similar and
perhaps worse catastrophe in the future a
separate boiler house will be built.
——John Wood, son of Rev. J. A. Wood

permanently interred in ther Wood lot in
the cemetery at that place; a fact which
means that at some time in the not very
distant fature Rev. Wood and family will B g
also return to the land of their nativity.

THE DEATH OF AUSTIN D.’ BREW—.
Years of meditation and experience are
usually counted to the making of a philos-
opher but if Thomas May be right ‘The
wisest men are glad to die; no fear of death
can touch a true philosopher,’’ then had
Austin Brew attained to it at an early
age. Young says ‘That man lives greatly,
w bate’er his fate, or fame, who greatly
dies,’” and better illustration of a great life
could not be found than in the death of
this young man whose last words to his
mother as she tried to raise him were ‘Oh,
mother, I was just abont in Heaven.’
What a life must be that of the man who
can thus wrap the drapery of his couch
about him and lie down to pleasant
dreams! Insuch a death we realize the
fallacy of meusuring—as we, too worldy,
are apt to do—the success of a man’s life
by the riches and honors accrued. For five
years Mr. Brew unsuccessfully battled for
his life against pulmonary tuberculosis but
de feat in this was triumpbed over in the
victory of his death. It would ill become
us to be selfish enough to mourn our loss
in his so great gain.
He was the only son of Mr. and Mrs.
Har ry C. Brew, formerly of this place but
now of East End, Pittsburg, where he died
at three o'clock last Saturday morning. He
was twenty-five years of age, was born in
Tyrone but later moved with his parents to
this place and when W. W. Montgomery
wus appointed postmaster six years ago,
Austin was made his assistant. The work
h owever, was too confining for his pre-
carious health and he was compelled to
resign. He went with his parents to Pitts-
burg five years ago and during that time
has visited many resorts seeking health.
Surviving him are his parents and one
sister, Mrs. Albert D. Riley, of Plainfield,
N. J. The remains were brought to Belle-
fonte, Tuesday noon, the funeral serv-
ices being held in the Presbyterian church
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Rev. Dr.
Laurie officiating. Interment was made
in the Kline lot in the Union cemetery.
Il I wl
BoAK.—In the death of Mr. George R.
Boak, which occurred at his home at Pine
Glenn, at one o’clock last Thursday after-
noon, Burnside township lost one of its
most popular and progressive citizens; a
man who created the first gardenspot in
that wild section of the Allegheny moun-
tains. Mr. Boak’s death was from heart
failure and was as sodden as it was
sad. He had gotten up from the table,
after’ eating a hearty dinner, and wens
ont to look at his plangs. A quarter of
an hour later he was found there dead.
Deceased was ason of James K. and
Sarah Boak and was born in Burnside
township, 65 years ago. His family was
one of the pioneer settlers of that locality.
Early in life George R. embarked in the
lumber business with his father and broth-
ers and later engaged in the mesecantile
business at Pine Glen, where he built him-
self a magnificent home and established
perhaps the first deer park in this State.
As the time of his death he was also post-
master at Pine Glen. In politics he was a
Republican though not aggressively so.
Mr. Boak was married three times, the
last time to Miss Sarah Newcomer. of
Burnside township, who survives him. He
never had any children but leaves the fol-
lowing brothers and sisters: James, Cam-
eron and Theodore, of Hughesville; Mrs.
Mary E. Shaw, of Hagerstown, Md. ; Mrs.
Annie Weakley, of Harrisburg; Mrs. A. J:
Cook, of Bellefonte, and Mrs. H. M.
Ash, of Oriole, Pa.
The funeral was held from the house, at
10 o’clock Sunday morning, interment be-
ing made at Moshannon.

MINGLE.—Mrs. Eve Mingle, relict of
the late H. A. Mingle, of Aaronsburg, died

ties of old age, she having been in declin-
ing health the past seven years. Deceased
was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Bower, of Haines township, and had she
lived until next February would bave been
83 years old. All her life was spent in
the township in which she was born. A
descendant of one of the pioneer families of
that locality she was a woman known and
revered by all. She was a life-long mem-
ber of the Reformed church and an estima-
ble christian lady.
‘Early in lifeshe was united in marriage
to H. A. Mingle, who years ago served two
terms as county commissioner. Surviving
her are five sons, namely: W. B. Mingle,
of Centre Hall; D. H., of Maxwell, Towa;
Thomas, of Minneapolis, Minn.; A. C., of
Bellefonte, and Edward, of Aaronsburg,
with whom Mis. Mingle made her home

week attending the seventy-sixth annual
Communication of the Grand Encampment

twelfth annual session of the Departm ent
Council Patriachs Militans. They were

lar gathering in five years. The various

house the representatives marched to Odd
Fellows hall where a morning session was
held. The business transacted was mostly
routine, including the reports of the var-
ious officers, committees, eto. In the after-
noon two hundred visitors took advantage
of the free excursion to make a
trip to State College and the wmag-
nitude of that institution made the major-
ity of them gasp with astonishment, while
they were all loud in their praise of what
they saw in the three hours allotted to
their stay there. Tuesday evening a school
of instruction was held which was open to
all Royal Parple Degree members.

PUBLIC SPRAYING NEXT WEEK.—The
first practical demonstration in the State’s
campaign against the San Jose Seale is to
to be held in the large orchard belonging
to Colonel Reynolds, between Bellefonte
and State College, Friday forenoon of next
week, from 10:00 to 11:30 A. M.
Pablic addresses will be given upon the
subject of ccale insects and how to save
srees from destruction by them. This will
be illustrated by making and applying the
best known insecticides for these pests.
The San Jose Scale is only siarting in
Center county and very few persons in this
region understand how exceedingly de-
structive it may possibly become. In the
southeastern quarter of Pennsylvania if
has destroyed millions of dollars worth of
fruit and ornamental trees and shrubbery,
and this extensive effort to show how to
fight it will be appreciated by all persons
who understand the importance of the
subject.
All interested persons are invited to at-
tend this demonstration and to bring with
them specimens of twigs and fruits infected
with San Jose or other pests. These will
be inspected at the meeting and informa-
tion will be given concerning them. If
infested orchards are found in other por-
tions of the county, arrangements will be
made to treat them and make due an-
nounsements of the dates and places of
demonstrations.
——The Jackson, Mich., Morning Pa-
triot, of October 7th, is authority for the
statement that Chauncey F. York, the
Malena man of Warriorsmark, had become
the owner of the Palmer cottage, on the
north shore of Clark’s lake, Mich., which
he will make his summer home in the
futare. The Pairiof also intimates that
Mt. York is considering moving his factory
from Warriorsmark to Jackson, a fact
which, if correct, is news to everybody
hereabouts.

——A novel situation for melodrama is
the finish of the last act of'‘Dora Thorne.”’
Not a word is spoken for fully three min-
utes before the final curtain, and the most
remarkable thing about it all is, that the
most excitable and restless in the audience
especially in the gallery, remain quietly
seated until the very end of the play, which
is bronght about quite naturally, and to
the eminent satisfaction of all concerned.
