The re- hearsals which are being beld two and three nights a week under the direction of Mr. W. T. Noss are developing av unusu- ally strong cast and chorus. ‘‘The Coming of Ruth” will be produced two nights, July 18th and 19th. The first night the production will be given in Garman’s op- era honse and the second night in Petriken ball. The rendition will be the same in both places and the price of tickets will be 35 and 50 cents. “The Coming of Ruth’’ is an exceeding- ly beautiful and effective cantata, replete with dramatic situations that make it ef- fective without the elaborate stage settings generally demanded for an entertainment of this kind. It is embodied in six scenes, the first depicting the famine and the wor- ship of the god of Baal at the hands of balt a hundred typical Hebrews. In the second scene Elemelech and family bid farewell to their countrymen aud depart for the land of Moab. The third scene depicts Ruth's love-making with Mahlon and Orpha's flirtation with Chillon, but in the midst of | the marriage festivities Leah, the Moabite princess, calle on her countrymen to go forth to war with the Philistines. The fourth, fifth and sixth scenes conclude this well known biblical story with all the viv. idness of realism and the andience can al- most picture the scenes as they were en- acted ages and ages ago. The cast of characters for the dramatic parts bave been selected and is said by those who have been present at the re- hearsals to be an unusually strong one, while the chorus is made up of from fifty to sixty voices. The cast selected is as fol- lows : Elemelech, of Bethlehem... John M. Bullock wud. O. atpes ween We Fu Dunn ng POPRCE sus seesre serscaresuiend Clarence Garbric Naomi, wife of Elemelech.... ..

The first was on Tuesday afternoon and was from the Ardell Lumber company’s plant. A smal! blaze bad started on the roof of one of the buildings but it was ex- tinguished Ly the employees before the fire companies arrived on the scene. The second alarm was just before noon on Wed- nesday aud was from the livery stable of George A. Beezer, on Water street, now occupied by L. H. Musser. The fire there was undoubtedly the result of carelessness on the part of some one in throwing either a cigar stump or a lighted match ina small pile of straw on the second floor. But as it was discovered in time a few buckets of water put it out. The third fire occurred about eight o'clock Thursday morning in the hounse on Spring street belonging to the Lomgwell estate and occupied by Will Katz and family. The family were just sitting down to breakfast when Russell Blair ran into the house and told them the roof was on fire. A little delay in sounding the fire alarm gave the fire opportunity to get con- siderble head way so that by the time the fire companies arrived and got the flames under control a big part of the roof was burned off. The damage doue by water, however, to both the building and con- tents, was greater than tbat done by the fire. A temporary roof was put on until the insurance adjusters fix the amount of damage and in the meantime the Katz's have taken rooms at the Brockerhoff house. C— SEVERE HAIL StorM.—Hard rains and severe hail storms are quite numerous this summer, though so far Bellefonte has for- tunately escaped the latter, as very little bail has fallen here. But other portions of the county have not been so lucky. For instance, last Saturday afternoon and even- ing » terrific rain and bail storm passed over the lower end of both Nittany and Penns valleys, though the greate:t damage was done in the latter. Down in the neighborhood of Spring Mills, one barn was noroofed, trees were blown down and the corn and gardens badly damaged by the bail, which fell in stones as large as wal- nats. Several gardens were entirely ruined, among the number being that of Hon. William Allison. There, not content with cutting his vegetables, etc., all to pieces the high wind stripped the branches from the trees in a nearby grove and piled them all in the Allison garden. Down Nittany valley the raio fell in tor- rents and in the vicinity of Fishing creek the bailstones were so large that the Belle- fonters camping there used them to make ice water and iced tea, and the only reason they didn’t make ice cream is because they bad no freezer. Monday afternoon anoth- er bard rain and bail storm passed over the lower end of Nittany valley and over Clin- ton county, bat Centre county residents were damaged but little by is. E————— A ———— ——Horton 8S. Ray and family and Maurice A Jackson will leave Bellefonte the latter part of July in the former's au- tomobile for Lake George, N. Y., where they will spend » two weeks vacation at a cottage taken by Mr. Ray’s father, Mr. F. D. Ray, of New York. In addition to the Bellefonte crowd the party will include Mr. and Mrs, F. D. Ray and Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Ray Jr., of New York. ~——Track foreman Murray, on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad, bad his leg badly hurt on Tuesday morning by a rail falling on it. He was taken to bis home in Miles- buig where an examination showed that the bone was not broken but be will be laid up for a week or two, a—— A» ——On Toesday the big black team of horses on the experimental farm at State College, ran away with the mowing wa- chine, badly damaging the machine. The driver was in the rear of the machine oil- ing it when the horses took fright so tbat he escaped being injured. Neither of the horses was hurt. *>ve ——The Ladies Circle of the Lutheran church at State College will serve refresh- ments this (Friday) afternoon and a sup- per this evening in the vacant store room in the Meek block. They will also bave fancy articles for sale. As the proceeds are for the building fund of their new chuich a liberal patronage is solicited. — ~The Philipshurg Presbyterian church, a frame structure built thirty years ago, was almost totally destroyed by fire on the 4th, the origin of which is thought to bave been a skyrocket. There was an insurance of three thousand dollars oo the building and the damage to it was so great that no effort will be made to repair it. oe —— The Fourth of July passed off very quietly in Bellefonte. A few people went to Jersey Shore and other cities to spend the day but the wajority went to the Undine picnic at Hecla park. There tbe crowd was a fair-sized one and they all bad an enjoyable day, as the weather was delight- ful. Several disturbances occurred on the grounds and on the train caused by a too free indulgence in fire water. a———— — Mrs. Helen Martin, well known as the author of “*Tilly, the Mennonite Maid- en,” and just now being widely advertised by ‘‘His Courtship,’’ came to State College last week with ber two childrev to spend the summer with her sister, Miss Reimen- snyder. Two days after, her youngest child developed scarlet fever and bad to be taken to the Infirmary. Fortunately, it was a mild case and the child is now rap- idly convalescing. — Everything that P. Henry, common- ly known as “‘Patsy’’ Bathurst undertakes be makes go, from plambing to gardeving and eo successful have been his efforts iu the latter that he will doubtless be adopt. ing it ns a profession. This season has not been particularly propitions for develop- ment of flowers bat his yard is gay with many kinds, and almost every day be pre- sents beautiful bunches of sweet peas and nasturtiums to some other less fortauate individual. ————— A] — Francis E. Pray, who last wiuter re. signed his position as teacher of the gram. mar school in the etone building in this place to accept the position of teacher of science in the Philipsburg schools, aud was re-elected to that position at a recent meet- ing of the Philipsburg school board, has notified the board that he cannot accept as be bas been offered a position on the teach- ing force of the Kane schools at such ao ad. vavce in salary that he cannot afford to de- cline. Mr. Pray is now at his home in Jersey Shore, where he will remain until the opening of the fall term of school. ————— ~The Cherokee Indian base ball ag- gregation, who were advertised to play a game with a picked up team in this place last Friday, came here that morning but there was uo game in the afternoon. As is usually the case with the Bellefonte crowd wany went out to the grounds expecting to gee the game for nothing and when they refused to buy tickets and the Indian’ manager thus saw that the receipts would necessarily be small, he called his men off the field and refused to play. Quite natar- ally the crowd was disappointed, as reports from other towns state that the base ball end of the aggregation could play ball, though the band end of it would hardly carry off many prizes for their musical abilities. ——On Saturday, June 20th, T. S. Strawn, representing Henry J. Spubler & Co., brokers, sold his broker's office in this place to Harry L. Garber who is now in charge. Mr. and Mrs. Strawn left Belle- fonte on July 3rd, with their housebold goods, going to Scotdale where they will locate temporarily until Mr. Strawn de- cides just what business he will engage in in the future, though it is likely it will be the hotel business. In the meantime Spubler & Co. bave arranged with a broker connected with the New York consolidat- ed stock exchange to handle all their busi: ness and thus they claim to be exempt from the provisions of the Mesta auti- bucket shop law whiock already has been the means of putting a number of alleged brokers in the big cities ont of business. ————— A — ~The season of the year is now here for camping out parties and Bellefonte is well represented. Last week two crowds were encamped on fishing creek, which is the mecca for stag parties, as in addition to its many natural beauties, it is far enough away from civilization to afford the free and easy life which is one of the greatest at- tractions of camping out, and is one of the hest trout fishing spots in central Peunsylvania. This week two other parties are encamped there and it goes without saying that all are baving a delightful time. Some eight or ten young ladies of Bellefonte spent last week at the Mason’s camp down Bald Eagle and this week quite a number bave gone into camp up along Spring creek. In fact, camping ont is an outing that Bellelonters prefer to going to the seaside resorts. | It was teudered Lim by the “'staff’’ of the | LOAFING AT PENNSYLVANIA Rai’ R0oAD DEPOT Must StoP.—For years past it bas been a very regrettable habit of the young people in Bellefonte to congregate at the Pennsylvania railroad depot in this place in the evening to ‘‘see the train come in.” Various efforts have been made in the past to break up the custom but in- stead of getting rid of the nuisance it has steadily become worse and for some time past passengers coming to Bellefonte or going away could hardly get off or oo the trains on account of the crush of men and women and boys and girls who crowded the platform between the building and the train in a perfect jam. Bot the railroad authorities bave now taken the matter in band and it is their in- tention to get rid of the nuisance if they are compelled to make arrests by the wholesale. The first step in this direction was taken last Saturday evening. When the 8.16 train pulled into the depot the platform was crowded with the uscal throng of cariosity seekers. When the train stopped a railroad officer in plain clothes got off and approaching a crowd of young people blandly asked if they were goiug away. Oa being told that they were not he politely but very firmly informed them that they would have to get off the platform. He was not long in chasing evershody who bad no business there away. One or two young women declined to move when told to but when the officer said he would have them locked op they lost no time in getting away. For the information of these who haye been in the habit of making the station a rendezvous every evening it can be stated that the railroad company has received nu- merous complaints about the nuisance at the Bellefonte depot and their determina- tion to break it up will not be merely a spasmodic one. They have given ample warnieg and the next time an officer is sent here he is likely to make arrests on the spot, so if you wish to avoid being locked up stay away from the station un- less you have legitimate business there. *oe of Dg. A PLEASING RECOGNITION ARrMsBY's Popuvrariry.—Dr. H. P.| Armsby was, last Saturday, the recipient of u very handsame cut glass punch howl, i Experiment Station as a mark of esteem and appreciation of the twenty years of as- sociation with him as Dean and Director. Dr. Armeby’s unfailing courtesy and con- sideration for all of his employees together | with the nunseifish aud enthasiastic devo- | tion of the real scientist to investigation has unified and given an enviable reputation to his departmuent—The School of Agricnl- tare. Two years ago be desired to be re- lieved of the executive duties in connection with Lis work in order that be might have more time for investigation in animal nu- trition in which subject he has already gained a national reputation, but it is only recently that a successfal accomplishment of bis desire has been possible. Dr. Thom- as Huot, late Professor of Agronomy, at Cornell, assumed the duties of Dean on July the first. IMPROVEMENTS AT ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT. —Improvements are now being made at the electric light plant in this place whick will give the company a very much increased lighting power over what they now have. A three foot extension has been hauilt on the eastern end of the build- ing in which will be installed a new and larger, as well as more modern switch board. When the old board is removed from the northeast corner of the building anew set of dynamos will be installed there with a high power engine to run them. The wire service on the streets is also being improved by the putting up of new copper circuit wires. Next spring it is the intention of the company to build a pew office huilding on the vacant lot re- cently purchased from Charles Schad, on the completion of which the present office will be converted into a stock room. Tae FIFTH REGIMENT LEADS.—~The report of Inspector General Sweeney, of the National Guard of Pennsylvania, con- firms the statement made in the WATCH- MAN some time ago that the Fifth regi- ment would this year lead the Second bri. gade in point of efficiency. Its rating is given as 93.33 per cent. with the Tenth regiment second with a rating of 91.59 per cent. Company B heads the Fifth regi- ment with a rating of 96.80 per cent. as against 96.65 per cent. for Company F, of Indiana. For this state of efficiency in the Fifth cousiderable credit is due to the ef- forts of Col. Hugh 8S. Taylor, of this place, who bas been untiring in his work for the raising of the standard of this organization. es A r——— —Will H.
