| Tae Comix or Rurn.—The singiog of
this beautiful biblical cantata in Belle-
fonte is now an assured success. 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-

THREE FIRE ALARMS. — While the fates
tried very bard to have a fire in Bellefonte
last week quick action on the part of those
who discovered the incipient flames as
well as prompt responses of the firecom-
pavies kept the destruction of property
down to a very small margio, considering
the fact that there were three alarms of
fire.
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.

——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,

——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.

——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.

— 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.

— 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.

~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.

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.

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.
