AFTER A FORTUNE IN EXGLAND —Every
now and again there comes to the front in
some part of the country a family claiming
to be heirs to a large fortane in one of the
Earopean countries. Most of these claims
are mythical and vot one ina thousand
has even a flimsy foundation to stand on.
Oue of the claimants who bas been par-
suing the evasive idol for'a namber of years
past and who is still determinedly push-
ing the claim is Dwight Lawrence Bath-
arst,stamp clerk in the postoffice at Pueblo,
Col. He is the son of Reuben Archibald
Bathurst, of Boggs township, this county,
and a great, great grandson of Lawrence
Bathurst, son of the Earl of Bathurst and
heir to an estate in Eogland, who came to
this country in 1783. For one handred
aud twenty-three years the Batharst fam-
ily and their descendants have lived in
Centre county, the original home being in
Boggs township.
For the past ten years Dwight L. Bath-
urst has been working up facts to establish
his claim and right to the estate in Eog-
laud. Seven years ago he visited Belle
fonte and Centre connty members of the
Bathurst family for the purpose of enlisting
their aid in prosecuting the claim to the
fortune. That the claim has not been
abandoned is proven by the fact that the
western heirs of the family held a meeting
at Bloomington, Ill., last Friday, when
committees were appointed and preliminary
arrangements made for sending Mr. Bath-
urst as a representative to England to in-
stitute legal proceedings for the recovery
of the fortune. All heirs of the Bathurst
family in Centre county or shis part of the
State who desire to co-operate with the
western beirs can get in touch with them
by writing to Dwight L. Bathurst, at
Paeblo, Cal.

A Lost OPPORTUNITY.—A few days ago
a happy thought came into the mind of a
gentleman in town who is interested in the
Bellefonte hospital—and by the way that
institution is crowded to the doors just
now with patients, It bas been customary
for the policemen to confiscate all the
whiskey found on drunks who are placed
under arrest. In the ordinary course of
affairs the whiskey thus secured is turned
over to the burgess, who probably destroys
it—in just what manner he has never told
ns however.
Well, the gentleman with the happy
thought conceived the idea that the hos-
vital would be a good place to send the
whiskey for there it would serve a mission
of mercy in use for rubbing patients. He
confided his suggestion to the police, who
agreed that it would be a good scheme, but
alas ! for the poor hospital, bottles will be
few and far between now that the court's
ruling against selling liquor in bottles is
in force.
Had the idea only evolved itself in some
wind a few years ago there might have
been enough whiskey in store at the hos.
pital for years to come, but now, we fear,

Haxaep Hiusgrr.—Nicholas Confer,
one of the largest and most prosperous far-
mers in Howard township, committed sni-
| cide, Wednesday,by banging himself in the
hay mow of his barn. He had not been in
good health for months and of late had
been so much out of his mind that arrange-
ments were being made to take him to an
asylum. It is believed that this fact drove
him to the desperate act of taking his own
life. Wednesday he was around as usual,
though generally under the watchful eye
of his wife. Abont the middle of the after-
noon he was missed and a search being iun-
stituted his dead body was found in the
hay mow dangling from the end of a rope.
His rash deed bad evidently been commit-
ted about 2 o'clock.
Deceased was a member of the well
known Confer family of Howard township
and was about sixty years of age. He was
twice married, his second wife eurviving
with several children by the first wile. At
this writing no arrangements have been
made for the faneral. :

WILL WEAR Caps AND Gowsxs.—For
some time past there has been a growing
sentiment in the Senior class of the Belle-
fonte High sobool in favor of wearing caps
and gowns at commencement time instead
of the customary soite and dresses worn by
members of former graduating classes.
The cap and gown custom is a growing one
all over the country, not only in colleges,
but in High schools as well. The members
of the Serior class of the Bellefonte High
school discussed the subject from every
poias of view, secured not only ihe consent
bat the hearty co-operation of the faculty
and on Monday evening appeared ina
body before the school board and presented
a petition requesting permission to wear
the caps and gowns. After due considera-
tion the request was granted and the forth-
coming graduating class will be thus ar-
rayed.

oldest daughter, Maude, is married and

WiLL BE REORGANIZED, ~The Pevoeyl-
vaoia Mining and Smelting company, com-
posed principally of Centre and Clinton
county stockholders, is now undergoing a
process of reorganization which the officials
believe will result in makivg it a paying
investment. For some time past the zine
mines of the company located io the neigh-
borhood of Joplin, Mo., were only partially
operated or allowed to be idle, while none
of the mines have been developed to the
depth where it ie believed the largest and
best paying veins of ore are located. Obli-
gations bad accumulated against the com-
pauy which bed to he satisfied at once.
With the covsent of the majority of the
stockholders a committee of the officials of
the company wens to Joplin a couple weeks
ago with fuuds to meet the claims pressing
them there. They then advertised all the
properties of the company, put them up at
public vale aud failing to get a satisfactory
bid sold them to Harry Keller, of this place,
as trustee for the stockholders. A charter
was then secured under the laws of Mis-
souri, the original charter baving been
takeu out under the laws of Arizona. A
plan bas already been perfected fora re-
organization of ike company snd raising a
sum of moury sufficient to meet all out-
standiog obligations as well as give ample
working capital to go ahead and develop
the properties, and is is with the hope that
when this is accomplished such large and
good paying veins of the ore will be found
as to make all the stockholders a good re-
turn for the money invested.
