THe PRUNER
the people of Bellefonte are directly inter-
ested in a legacy which the late Col E. J.
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

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.

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.

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. Keifer ; second vice
president, Miss Olive Steele; third vice
president, Miss Sadie Caldwell ; fourth
vice president, Miss Nora Loveland ; seo-
retary, Miss Elizabeth Smith ; treasurer,

——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.

~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.

~——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.

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

Longacre, Pearl Knisely, Bessie Brouse,
and Charles Barnes, James Harshberger,
Milan Walker, Jesse Derstine, Paul Wetz-
el, Edward Gates and Calder Ray. 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.

Thompson and Miss Sarah H. McKinley
