Pruner left for the establishment and maintenance of a home for the friendless and orphan children of this place and Ty- rone we publish in full the statement of receipts made to the Tyrone council on Monday evening by Mr. Frank M. Waring, who bas had charge of the trust since Col. Pruner's death. His report for the two years is as fol lows, April 18, 1905, - Income.

Total expenditure..... cous 1,503 00 street work, £1,700 60 Balance on hand.......cevnneee $2,864 00 According to these figures it woald ap- pear that the average yearly income from the properties is $4,232.69. The average expenditures, ordinary, being $1,992.28, there should be a net annual balance of $2,240.41. In the event that Tyrone should exempt the property from taxation $474.06 should be added to the net balance increasing it to $2,714.47. In the event that Tyrone should be asked to remit the taxes on this property the council of that borocgh would probably require, and fairly, that Belle- foute borough should pay half the amount which would be $237.03 annually. This condition is based on the fact that all the taxable property being located in Tyrone it wonld bardly be fair to require that borough to remit all of it as against no ofl- set of a like amount by Bellefonte; especial- ly as the home is to be located bere and practically all of the mouey for its main- tevance expended where it would benefit only the tradesmen of this town. Assuming that there would be an annual a home could prob- ained on that sum, bat we fear that Mr. Waring has uot estimated his expenses as high as would be required for the proper and economic administration of such a trust. In the first place he bas made no allowance for services of a super- intendent or trustee. According to his own opinion expressed to us this service would be worth at least $300 per annum. Such being the case the annual net ivcome would be reduced to $2,414.47. In our judgment his estimate of $187.48 for an- nnal repairs, such as painting, papering, carpenter work, plastering, plumting,ete., on property that he says is worth $45,000 is far too low; in fact not hall as much as it should be, since the property is of such u character as would require a maximum rather than a minimun of repairs in order to retaina desirable class of tenants. If $187.48 be deducted from the amount above there would ke left $2,226.99 or about 5 per cent. on $45,000, Mr. Waring's estimate of the value of the property. If the property is worth $45,000, why would it not be a better proposition to sell it all at that figare and place the money in some good 6 per cent. investment and thus be assured of an annual income of $2,700.- 00, without the danger of losses through defaulting tenants, depreciation and other similar causes that owners of renting prop- erties are so thoroughly familiar with. From the very first the WATCHMAN has been of the opinion that a greater good could be served by diverting this legacy to the endownment of hospitals in Tyrone and Bellefonte, bat if that cannot be done there can be no harm in trying the orpban- age,though we frankly confess that neither the past history of this town, nor the pres- ent exigencies reveal any need for an in- stitution such as the perculiar provisions of Col. Praner’s will would provide. 90 19 ——: QA i ——— Con. CHAMBERS OUSTED.—On Wednes- day Auditor General Young deposed Col. E. R. Chambers, of this place, as traveling auditor under hie administration. Col. Chambers was first appointed under the ad- ministration of Governor Stone and was re. appoivted at the sclicitation of Governor Pennypacker four years ago, so that he has held the position close to eight years. He also sought a re-appointment under Aud- itor General Young bat that gentleman has now turned him out and announces as a reason that he wants to appoint men who have no outside interests and who will give all their time to the State. So far no suc- cessor has heen named but it is known that the place was offered to another Bellelonser, though it is hardly likely that he will ao- cept it. The job carries with it a fifteen hundred dollars a year salary and all nec- essary traveling and other expenses. sn Ae m— EPWORTH LEAGUE OFFICERS. —A#$ its last regular meeting the Epworth League of the Bellefonte Methodist church elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Miss Grace Blackford ; first vice president, Sydney A.

Thompson, of the same town. — A — ——Two cows belonging to C. H. Heck- man, of Buffalo Ran, were killed by the Bellefonte Central train last Friday and a third one badly hurt. Mr. Heckman places his loss at sixty-five dollars. ~The Joseph Meyer farm in the east- ern part of Harris township was recently purchased by Dr. L. G. Kidder, of Boals- purg, for $7,800, a price estimated to be just about fifty per cent. what the farm was worth at the time of Mr. Meyer's death. ——The State College track and field team went to Carlisle last Friday and on Saturday engaged in their first dual meet for this season with Dickinson, winning by the summary of 92 to 12 points, from which it can be seen that State’s track team is just about as fast as her baseball team. nc A m—— ~——Are you going to the College tomor- row afternoon to see the State—W. U. P. baseball game? Remember the college baseball season is about hall over and you should lose no opportunity to see State play. They will also play the University of West Virginia nine next Monday, May 13th, which will be the last game on Beav- er field until Friday, May 24th. mse AA ~The girls of The Pennsylvania State College will give an entertainment in the old college chapel on Friday evening, May 27th, for the benefit of the Young Wom- en's Christian Association. Two short plays, ‘“The Minister's Wife’’ and ‘‘The Ghost of an Idea,’ will be given. The price of admission will be bat thirty-five cents and the public is invited to attend. *o0 ~——On Tueiday a committee,composed of C. H. Lucas, of Centre Hall; Rev. S. E. Koontz, Winfield; Rev. J. T. Shaltz, Bell- wood ; I. 8. Frain, Jacksonville, and Rev. J.C. Reeser, Carlisle, was in Bellefonte looking for a parsonage for the presiding elder of the Centre district of the United Evangelical church. Both Mifflinburg and Bellefonte are offering desi.able locations but as yet no selection has been made. —— Hard P. Harris’ venture as a chicken raiser bad quite a set back on Sunday night. He was not satisfied to hatch and raise chicks in the good old way bat this spring made a brooder and ever since has bad visions of perpetual dinners of spring chicken. On Sunday evening, however, the oil lamp in his machine was upset and exploded and hefore Hard could extinguish the flames they bad not only consnmed his brooder and thirty little chicks that were mothering in the box; and vow he will have to keep chewing beefsteak as formerly. ~——Ex-county treasurer Harrison Kline, who has been in poor health the past month or 80, was taken to the University hospital, Philadelphia, last Friday by Dr. R. G. H. Hayes and sheriff Henry Kline, his son, for a thorough exawination and consultation as to his ailment and treatment. The hos- pital physicians diagnosed his trouble as nervous indigestion. Mr. Kline was brought home on Monday evening and the next day appeared some better, probably the result of the little change of scene and excitement of the trip to Philadelphia and back. — ——On Sunday six State College stu- dents started out for a walk. As they did not expect te go far they went without bats. After going as far as Centre Farnace one of the number proposed they go as far as Lemont and when they reached that place one of the others dared the party to walk to Bellefonte. They all started but one after another turned back until hy the time they reached Rockview only two, Hulings and Watson, remained aod as neither one would say go back they kept on walking, finally reaching this place about #ix o'clock. They then had to skir- mish around and get bats in order to be presentable. ——The grammar school in the stone building in this place has been in bard luck this winter so far as keeping a teacher is concerned. Starting in the season with Francis E. Pray as teacher it bad only pro- gressed a few months when he resigned. Charles A. Knupp, of Harrisburg, was then secured but after teaching less than a month he got a bad attack of nervous pros- tration and also quit. Charles Noll, of College township, was then secured and he taught until last Thursday evening and when Friday morning came left for Phila delphia to take the civil service examioa- tion fora government position. Now the school is in charge of Miss Sallie Fitzger- ald, and as there are only fourteen days more it is likely she will complete the term. Sr—— A see— ——General James A. Beaver certainly had a bunch of bard luck in Philadelphia last week. He started home on Wednes- day evening and when at the Broad street station he reacied in his pocket to get his wallet in which were his mileage book, money, ete., and what was his chagrin to find not only the wallet but everything else gone, leaving him stranded at the gates of the railroad yard with less than a dollar in his pockets. He tried to explain the situation to the guard in the hope that he would be allowed to pass and could eventually reach home}but that official was | obdurate and in despair he looked around for some one to whom he could appeal. Fortunately, Col. E. R. Chambers, who bad been in Philadelphia, was coming home on the same train and the general es- pied him in the depos, told him the plight he was in and borrowed enough money to pay his way home. THAT Bas BALL GAME Topay,—This is the day for that big game of baseball be- tween the State College 'Varsity nine and the Bellefonte team. It will be played on the Meadowbrook park grounds in this place and yon will miss a rare bit of sport if you fail to attend. The strength of the State College team is well koown. It has played fourteen games so far this season and bas won thirteen ont of the fourteen, a record not wade by any other college team in the land. Its ability to pull out of a tight place was never better shown than in the game with Dickinson lass Fri- day. At the beginning of the eighth in- ning the score stood 4 to 2 in favor of the visitors. State blanked Dickinson in her half and scored one run for herself in the last half, making the score 4 t03. Iu the ninth inning Dickinson again drew a goose egg and in State’s hall it Jooked as if she was doomed to defeat, as there were two men out and the man at bat bad twostrikes when he fortnnately made a single and the next man at the bat knocked out a three bagger. In the tenth inning Dickinson again failed to score and State won the game with but one wan ont. Sach is the makeup of the college team. As to the Bellefonte aggregation that will be pitted against the visitors, it has not yet been made pablic in its entirety, but it 1s certain that Fallerton, of the Bellefonte Academy team, the famous spit- ball thrower, will pitch. And this will mean much toward making the game ex- ceedingly interesting as Fallerton bas lost but one game this season. He won his second game last Friday from the Wil. liawsport High school nine by the score of 7 to 2. In addition to the best of the Acad- emy players a number of Bellefonte stars will be in the game. The price of admis. sion will be buat twenty-five cents and as the band will be there it will be a game you don’t want to miss. And as it is for the benefit of the pathological department of the Bellefonte hospital yon want to be sure and take your quarter with you. The college team and all students de- siring to attend the game will be brought to Bellefonte on the regular train leaving the College at twelve o'clock and will be taken back on a special train which will leave Bellefonte after Miss Crissman’s dance in the Bagh Arcade. The fare for the round trip will be seventy-five cents, including admission to the game. This very cheap rate and the fact that the students will thus be able to spend a half day and even- ing in Bellefonte will doubtless result in a large crowd of them coming to the gawe. etl em AND STILL THEY CoME.—Bellefonte, or to speak more to the point, Bellefonters must be considered good money by Pitts. burg brokers. About [ourteen months ago John Larkin & Co., of the Smoky city, opened au office in this place and it bad not been in operation over two months until Henry J. Spubler & Co., alscopened an office here. A broker's office was not a new thing for Bellefonte, as the experiment bad been tried here on several occasions previ- ous and it was always a case of a boy pick- ing up a bar of red-hot iron. When the Larkin & Co. office was opened here it was given six months as the limit of its existence by the wise-acres,and when Spubler & Co. opened up the life of both was piaced at even a shorter period, bata year has passed and the Spuhler office is still here and Larkin’s likely would have been had they not sold out to Spahler, because the owners had made money enough and wished to retire from the busi- ness. But the passing of Larkin & Co. was not the permauent closing out of one office in this place but rather an incentive for the establishing of more, and represen- tatives of Pittsburg brokers came to Belle- fonte in plenty. The result was the opening by H. L. Garber of another office in Temple Court on Monday morning as the representative of H.C. Harvey & Co., and yesterday a third office was opened in the rooms on the first floor of the Crider building, formerly ocoupied by Dr. Harris as offices, by C. V. Tattle, as representative for the Adler Commission company, so that there pow are three broker's offices, or bucket- shops in Bellefonte. It is not the purpose of the WATCHMAN to make any comment on the stock-dealing business. Every man who goes into it does 80 with eyes open and kuows what he is up against, but there are two things certain: One is that the Pittsburg brokers are not keeping their branch offices open here for nothing and the other is that very few of the reputed dealers are riding around in automobiles. HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI RECEPTION.— The filth annual reception of the Bellefonte High school alumni association to the grad- uating class of 1907 will be given in the armory on Tuesday evening, May 28th.

These receptions have grown to he one of the most pleasing diversions of the High school commencement week and no effort will be spared to make this year’s as successful as those held in the past.
