bundred dollars with his contribution.
Every church, however, does not have a

PRESBYTERIANS SELECTED PASTOR.—
After a church campaigo that would not
bave shamed either political party the
members of the Bellefonte Presbyterian
church, at a congregational meeting held
last Sunday morning, elected Rev. J. A.
Platts, of the Central Presbyterian church,
Allegheny, as their pastor to succeed Rev.
William Laurie, D. D., LL. D. There
were seven candidates on the ticket and it
was thought the contest bad simmered
down to between Rev. Plattsand Rev. Guy
Louis Morrill, but the vote on Sunday
showed the latter to have only a very
small following. Quite a large coogrega-
tion was present and 216 votes were cast.
These were distributed as follows :
PIM le cexeussosine sosseatmeccorsssessensmemnsrsmescansomers wes - 12
WHKINNON. .....ccoceserre ese ecesesssmssssmsroressrsmessesureee , ;
Thus the summing up showed that Platts
had received 129 votes to 87, the total of
the other four candidates voted for, hence
| was declared elected. His salary wae fix-
| ed at two thousand dollars per year with
parsonage free of rent and four weeks va-
cation every summer.
A meeting of the trustees of the church
formal call was prepared and forwarded to
Rev. Platts and also a request to the Hunt-
ingdon Preshytery for permission to re-
ceive him. It will possibly be the first of
May or later before Rev. Platts will be of-
ficially installed as the resident pastor of
the church.
In speaking of his election Monday
morning's Pittsburg Times said :
Mr. Platts was seriously ill at his home on
Hawkins avenue, Allegheny, last night
when he was info that he had been
elected pastor of the Bellefonte church.
Since last Tuesday he has been confined to
his room with a severe cold and his physi-
cians fear that be is threatened with pnen-
monia. Mr. Platts said that he would hold
the call of the Bellefonte church under con-
sideration until his health would permit him
taomake a formal reply to the congregation.
He thought, however, that in the event of
his receiving the formal call this week he
would endeavor to send his answer next
week.
Mr. Platts came to the Central church in
May, 1903, succeeding Rev. D. M. Skilling,
D. D., who for guy Jn was its pastor.
The church ocenp an edifice at An.
derson and Lacock streets when Mr. Platts
was chosen by the congregation and during
his administration the present handsome
new Central church was erected at a cost of
about $50,000, Mr. Platts is one of the most
liked clergymen on the North side and is
popular with churchmen of all denomina-
tions. [tis likely that his flock will try to
e him from leaving his present
charge.

association will hold its annual convention

Rouxp TaBrLe CONFERENCE. —This
evening and tomorrow the Roand Table
conference of school superintendents and
principals for this district will be held in
Petriken ball, this place. Teachers, di-
rectors, parents and all others who are in-
terested in the cause of education are most
cordially invited to attend the conference
and take an active part in the discussion of
the scbjects on the program. The discus.
sions will be entirely informal—no set
talks or papers—thus giving every person
present an opportunity to take part. Pa-
pils of the public schools will profit by at-
tending the conference.
Quick WoRK.—For some time past the
Bellefonte furnace was not doing as good
as it couid on account of the accumula tion
of slag in the stack, which in faroace par-
lance is called a “scaffold.” The furnace
was blown out last Tharsday, allowed to
eool and a gang of men put to work cutting
out slag. The “‘scaffold’’ was removed, the
stack filled and relighted and everything
running as usual by Monday morning, an
exceptionally quick job which showed the
good mavagement of those in charge.

MagrcH SNows.—Not for a number of
years have we had suoh deep snows during
the month of March as we have bad the
past two weeks, Not content with the
two deep snows of last week the weather
man poured down another one on Monday,
about eight inches of the beautiful, and it
is no exaggeration to say that the snow
fall in ten days was over two feet. Of
course some of it has melted but there is
still a good covering on the ground and
this week has witnessed the first good sled-
ding of winter. And the farmers have taken
advantage of it to haul as much of} their
grain and corn to market as they possibly
can,
Considerable wind prevailed with Mon-
day’s snow and the result was badly drift-
ed roads. After the early trip on Monday:
morning the Bellefonte Central railroad
was blocked by huge snow drifts between
State College and Pine Grove Mills and the
train was not able to get through to the
latter place for a couple days. A number
of big drifts on the Lewisburg delayed the
train on Taesday morning so that it did
not reach here until almoss twelve o'clock.
Mauy of the public roads throughout the
county are drifted shut and travel is
through the fields. Such was the condi-
tion of affairs when Spring began on Wed-
nesday morning, and even this was not all
as the weather man, just to have things in
keeping, sent us cold as well and Wednes-
day morning the mercury was down to
within ten degrees of zero. Of course it
bas warmed up some at this time and the
question which is now agitating the minds
of mauy is, will the snow go away with
such a rush as to cause a big flood?

METHODIST CONFERENCE NEXT WEEK.
~The thirty-eighth anounal session of
Central Pennsylvania Methodist Episcopal
conference will convene at Tyrone on Wed-
needay of next week, March 28th, with
Bishop Joseph T. Berry, D. D., LL. D., of
Boffalo, N. Y., presiding. The conference
this year will be one of unusual interest
for the reason that there will be at least
one new presiding elder to select, that for
the Danville district to take the place of
Dr. W. P. Eveland, resigned to accept the
presidency of Williameport Dickinson
Seminary, and in addition there will be at
least thres important vacancies to fill,
namely: Bloomsburg, Mulberry street
church, Williamsport, and Bellefonte, the
latter because of the intention of Rev. John
A. Wood Jr., to go to California immedi-
ately alter conference. As these three ap-
pointments are regarded among the de-
sirable ones it may necessitate considerable
nioving around of ministers to get every
place filled satisfactorily.
So far as can be superficially learned the
past year bas been one of satisfactory oen-
ditions throughout the entire conference.
There has been a steady growth in church
and Sunday school membership, a number
of new churches have been built while the
finances are in as good a condition as ever.
The reports at the last conference showed
a church membership of 65,900, with 6,484
probationers, while $104,149 was the sum
total contributed for all benevolent pur-
poses.
