The Real Remedy Suggested.
In a Fourth of July oration delivered at
the Jamestown Exposition Dr. WooDRoW
WiLsoN, president of Princeton College,
expressed a sentiment which ie familiar to
the readers of this newspaper. ‘‘One real-
ly responsible man in jail,’ remarked Dr.
WiLsoN, ‘‘one real originator of the
schemes and transactions which are con-
trary to the public interest, legally lodged
in the penitentiary, would be worth more
than a thousand corporations mulcted in
fines, if the reform is to be genuine and
permanent.’”’ This statemens, cariously
enough, appears to have aronsed public in-
terest and popular discussion. Probably
it is the man rather than the matter that
attracts attention.
About four years ago the Supreme Court
of the United States declared that the
Northern Securities company, known as
the ‘‘railroad trust,” was an unlawfal
combination and ordered its dissolution.
Then the WATCHMAN pointed out an op-
portunity to put an end, finally and for.
ever, to all inimical trusts in this country,
by hauling Hivr, HARRIMAN and their as-
sociates in that conspiracy into the crimi-
nal cc arts and punishing them as other vi-
olators of the laws are punished. Some
time later PAuL MoRrTON, who bad been
vice president of the Santa Fe railroad,
confessed to rebating to a corporation in
which be had a pecuniary interest and we
urged that he be summoned to answer in
the courts. But nothing of the sort hap-
pened. “We are not running amuck
against corporations,”’ is what the Presi-
dent said at that time.
The Northern Securities company was
dissolved, according to the order of court
and those concerned re-organized it on the
“Community of Interest’ plan, in which
form it was continued until HILL and
HARRIMAN quarreled about the distribu-
tion of the spoils. The Santa Fe railroad
was fined a few thousand dollars and prob
ably reimbursed itsell out of the profits of
a week’s unlawful operations. But the
trusts paid no attention to these incidents
and comparatively little to the President's
talk about trust busting. As Dr. WiLsoN
says, the only real remedy for the abases of
corporations lies in putting one of the per-
petrators in the penitentiary.

Dr. Hoy's USTiMELY END.—It is al-
ways a source of the deepest sorrow and re-
gret when death claims a friend near and
dear, or a man who stands high in sceial or
business life, but how much greater the
cause for regret when a man’s earthly ca-
reer is brooght to a sudden termination by
his own wilfall act, and the only paliation
of the act is the belief in the minds of his
friends that he was utterly irresponsible
for what be was doing, as it is bard to eon-
jecture how any man in full possession of
bis faculties could perform the act of
self-destruction.
So it was when the news of the suicide
of Dr. Harvey K. Hoy, at his home in Al-
toona last Friday worning, was received in
Bellefonte that his many friends and ac-
quaintances here realized that the act must
bave been committed when the man was
laboring in the very sloughs of desponden-
cy. And such undoubtedly was the case.
Dr. Hoy was an able physician, as many
Bellefonters know who availed themselves
of bis services when he was a resident of
this place prior to twelve years ago. And
bad be stuck to bis practice he might today
not only be standing at the head of
his profession but been possessed of an am-
ple fortune, the glitter of which lured bim
from his rightful calling into the treacher-
ous paths of business for which he was
not adapted. And in the various echemes
in which he engaged he not only met with
reverses but probably lost what money he
had made in bis practice. And it was un- ;
questionably worry over his disastrous bus.
iness speculations as well as fioancial
troubles that finally dethroned bis mind
and led to his enicidal act.
This is the only plausible explanation
that can be given, as his home lile wasan
exceptionally bappy one, as all who bad
access to his home know beyond a doubt.
Up to some three or four weeks ago Dr.
Hoy was the same as ever. About that
time it was apparent to his family and
friends that he appeared worried, though
be rarely talked of his troubles. His nights
were always spent very restlessly and on
Tharsday night prior to killing himself he
slept very little. He arose before seven
o'clock Friday morning and started to go
down stairs withous dressing, but at the
request of Mrs. Hoy he donned his clothes
as usual and went down stairs.
He went to the kitchen and from there
to his office which was the front room in
the house. As there was nothing in bis
actious to cause alarm Mre. Hoy did not
get up until about 7.30 o'clock. When
she went down stairs she failed to find her
husband in the main part of the house so
went to his office only to find the door
locked. Going out on the porch she look-
ed through the window and saw him
lying on the conch and from kis attitude
the at once became alarmed and suspected
something wrong. She bastily summoned
Dr. A. O. Taylor, who lives a few doors
from tbe Hoy residence, and he responded
promptly. The door was forced open and
one glance at the figure on the couch was
enough to assure his brother physician that
Dr. Hoy was dead, aud that hy hie own
band.
The body was already cold and bad been
dead perbaps a haif hoor. An examina-
tion of the office showed that the agent used
for bis self-d.struction was a mixture of
eatbolic acid and laudanum. Bottles
which bad contaived the two drogs were
standiog on the medicine case, as was the
glass from which be drank the deadly
potion. The mixture was evidently made
for the purpose of preventing the acid from
burning, though it failed to do eo, as his
mouth was terribly burned. After taking
the poison Dr. Hoy lay down on the conch
aud death evidently came without a strug-
gle and in a very few moments, as the dose
taken was sufficient to kill ten men. The
coroner was notified but as it was unques-
tionably a case of suicide no inguest was
deemed necessary.
Dr. Hoy was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joha
Hoy and was born in Sprivg township, just
east of Bellefonte, in 1849, so that he was
about fifty-eight years of age. He was ed-
ucated in the public echools of Bellefonte
and at the Millersville Normal. Later he
entered the Hahnemann Medical college in
Philadelphia from where he graduated as a
homeopathic physician. He located in
Bellefonte and built up a good practice but
twelve years ago went to Altoona and in
that city built up a large practice which he
successfully beld until he gave it up in
part to devote his time to outside interests.
Dr. Hoy always had a penchant for schemes
which he could be influenced to believe of-
fered big financial returns. While be lived
in Bellefonte he got out a patent fence
which he felt positive would revolutionize
the fence business and put thonsands of
dollars in his pookets, but it failed to prove
a success. Shortly alter locating in Altoo-
na he became interested in the Midland
oil company, of California, but the fortune
be anticipated reaping from it proved as
mythical as the one he expected to get in
the fence business. His last venture was
his backing John Elmore, the Altoona cob-
bler, in his ash-burning scheme. In this
Dr. Hoy spent considerable money and
there is hardly any question bat tbat the
miserable failure it proved to be was di-
reotly responsible for the despondency
which resulted in his suicide.
Dr. Hoy was twice married, his first wife
being Miss Catharine Barnbart, by whom
be bad one child, Lula, now Mrs. H. D.
Clark, of Clarksburg, W. Va. His second
wife was Miss Grace Wobley, a niece of
George B. Brandon and she with his daugh-
ter and the following brother and sisters
survive: Dr. F. P. Hoy, of California ;
Misses Justia and Ida Hoy, of Altoona, and
Mrs. Gibbe, of Irvona. Dr. Hoy was a
member of the Heptasophs and the Artis.
ans. He also was a member of the Rane

Fuvoeral services were held at his late
home at 9.30 o'clock on Monday morning.
Rev. H. L. Bowldy, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, officiated. At noon
the funeral party left Altoona for this place,
arriving here on the 1.23 p. w. train, from
which the remains were taken direct to the
Union cemetery for interment in the Hoy
lot. The pall-bearers were Drs. E. H.

——The farmers throughout ihe county
are now busy waking bay, and, contrary
to expectations, the crop is a good one.
The grass, instead of being short, grew
quite rapidly the last swo or three weeks,
with the resalt that the crop is more than
twenty per cent. better than was anticipat-
ed. While there has been no wheat cut so far
it bas been ripening very fast the past few
days and it is quite likely that in some
portions of the county, at least, harvesting
will begin some time next week, though
the old-time weather proguosticators say
that very little wheat will be cut before
the full moon, which falls on July 24th.
The lateness of the haying and harvesting
season gave the farmers ample opportunity
to properly work their corn and the result
is that that crop is looking fair.

success in every way. And is bad a per-
fect right to be for those at the head of it
bad everythiog arranged in true Romany
fashion and even the young ladies taking
part were garbed so true to life that they
were taken to be members of the tribe of
real gypsies encamped at ‘the pail works
and one Bellefonte gentleman at least was
vot only so mistaken but commented on
the fact that they were the first real pretty
women aud girls he bad ever seen with any
gypey band. Tents avd wagons were scat-
tered over the ground in picturesque confa-
sion and under the glare of the highly sus-
pended arc lights the effect was very orien-
tal, especially when the crowd of gaily
decked women and men was the greatest.
As a moneymaker the carnival was also
a success, although most of the visitors
complained that there were not enough
chances to spend money on the ground ; a
rare state of affairs to be sure. The
drawback co Wednesday evening was that
the ice cream tent ran out of cream and
could not get an additional supply. They
only arranged for twenty gallons of cream

double that quantity.

COUNCIL AND THE PRUNER ORPHAN-
AGE.~—At the regular meeting of borough
council on July 1st the millage for the
next year was fixed at three wills for bor-
ough, five mills for street and five mills
for interest purposes. The committee ap-
pointed to confer with a committee of the
Tyrone council relative to the Pruner or-
phanage reported and was discharged.
Their report was substantially as the facts
printed in the WATCHMAN two weeks ago.
Two years or 20 ago an ordinance was pass-
ed by council acceptingthe Pruner bequest.
Later, after the matter had bzen more
thoroughly considered and discussed, coun-
cil passed a resolution rescinding the ordi-
navce and so the matter stood until the
last meeting of council when another reso-
lation was introduced rescinding the form-
er resolution and providing that the ordi-
vance should stand. This resolution
passed council but was vetoed by the bur-
gess, Gen. John I. Cartin, and so the mat-
ter now stands, no nearer a eatisfactory
settlement than it has been for two years.
In the meantime, through the death of
Mrs. Clara Moyer, two properties in
Tyrone will revert to the estate and be
added to the endowment fund set aside for
the support of the orphanage. These
properties bave an estimated value of four
thousand dollars and the annual income
from them in rents is about $360 per year.

weeks ago bought the fire brick plant at
Curwensville and will begin operations
there instead of building a new plant near
DuBois as was at first intended. When it
come to getting a suitable location at Da.
Bois a deal could not be made. The man-
agement then contemplated going to Falls
Creek but in the meantime the plant at
Curwensville was closed down and the
company went into the hands of a receiver.
Negotiations were at once begun which re-
salted in the purchase of the plant by the
Bickford company. It will be put in
operation just as soon as itcan be ar-

broken leg sustained on Tuesday by a bar-
rel of whiskey falling on him. He was as-
sisting the drayman in unloading the whis-
key when he slipped and fell and the bar-
rel fell on his leg.
Though his injury is bad enough it was
fortunate the barrel did not fall on his
body or he might have sustained injuries
