eight hours he bas not been able to eat or
drink.
~The skating rink opened in the ar-
mory on Monday afternoon and evening

or over twenty-five per cent.

ning came here last week and after spend-
ing a day in town notified the board that
he bad decided he would not take the posi-
tion and up to this time no other teacher
bas been secured, .
Dr. WADSWORTH RESIGNS. —Dr. Maish-
man Edward Wadsworth, dean of the
school of mines and professor of mining
eg ineering and geology in The Pennsyl-
vania State College, bas tendered his resig-
nation to the board of trustees in order to
accept a professorship in the new school of
mines pow being established at the West-
ern University of Pennsylvania, for which
the last Legislature appropriated the sum
of two bundrcd thousand dollars. Dr.
Wadsworth is a graduate of Bowdoin and
Harvard colleges and during 1885 and 1886
was dean of the school ef mines in the
Michigan University. He came te State
College in 1901 as professor of mining en—
gineering and geology and later was made
dean of the school of mines. In 1902 he
was appointed geologist on the state board
of agriculture, which positicn be has held
ever since. Dr. Wadsworth is a very able
man and an effort will be made to have
him stay at State College. If, however,
he cannot see his way clear to doing so, he
will leave for the Western University jost
as soon as his release can be obtained from
the board of trustees of The Pennsylvania
State College.
Coincident with Dr. Wadsworth’s resig-
nation is an authoritive report that Pf.
Louis E. Reber, besd of the mechanical
engineering department at the College, has
received a very flattering offer from the
Wiscousin State University to accept a
similar position in that institution. Up
to this time, however, Prof. Reber bas
made no decision in the matter. While
the offer is a much better one than he
conld ever hope to bave at State College,
yet be has been counected with the latter
institution so long that he is loath to leave
it; especially now when it is so fast be-
coming one of the foremost technical
schools in the country. For both Dr.
Wadsworth and Prof. Reber the Warch-
MAN bas always bad the highest regard
and it is our earnest hope that both gentle-
men will decide to stick to Old Penn
State.

BiG ENGINEERING BUILDING FOR THE
PENNSYLVANIA BTATE COLLEGE.—Dar-
ing the past week dispatches have appear-
ed in various newspapers throughout the
State announcing that Charles M. Schwab
intended building a one million dollar
techoical school at State College. In the
main the story is correct, the facts being as
follows : Several years ago, prior to the
death of Dr. George W. Atherton, presi-
dent of the College, and on the occasion of
one of Mr. Schwab's visits to that institu-
tion he and Gen. Beaver were walking
across the campos when Mr. Schwab told
the latter that as soon as he could see his
way clear to do so he was going to build
for the College the finest engineering build-
ing in the world.
As an evidence that he meant what he
taid he had an architect make the plans
and drawings of a magnificent building,
the estimated cost of which will be from
$1,000,000 to $1,500,000. And the an-
nouncement now comes as no surprise to
those closely connected with the College,
as Mr. Schwab reiterated his promise but
a little over a month ago to Gen. Beaver
and Judson P. Welsh, vice president of the
College. The two gentlemen were in New
York city and went to see Mr. Schwab
and he then told them that be intended to
erect the building and though he did not
state definitely just when he would begin
he left both gentlemen under the impres-
sion that it would be within the next year
or two. And that the College is eventual-
ly certain of getting the building is shown
in the fact that Mr. Schwab also said that
even in the evens of his death the build.
ing would be erected, as he had already
made provision for it.

BELLEFOXTE FURNACE BLOWN IN.—At
eight o'clock on Tuesday morning Miss
Elizabeth Gephart applied the torch which
started the fire in the Bellefonte furnace
and the plant is again in blast after being
out of commission since July 23rd. In
that time fhe farnace was relined and the
entire plant thoroughly overhauled so
that now it is as good as new and when
they get rightly started will be able to
turn outlover one hundred and twenty-
five tons of metal per day.
Whilelthe job of relining the furnace
was completed in record time it conld have
been done almost a week sooner had the
work not been delayed because of the fail-
ure to get the brick here on time. When
the fires were lighted there were present
Col. C. M. Clement, of Sunbury, president
of the furnace company, superintendent
L. T. Munson and quite a erowd of epec

THAT HYDRATING PLANT. — Several
weeks ago the WATCHMAN published an
item relative to the hydrating plant the
American Lime and Stone company were
is now far enough under way to show what
ao industry it is going to be. The wain
bailding will be 36x96 feet in size and
three stories high. It will rest on a ce-
ment foundation built by the Haupt
brothers.
Oa the firet floor of the building will be
the engive roow and roller room. The lat
ter cousis!s of large iron rollers in which
the burnt lime is rolled as fine as powder.
From the first floor the rolled lime is car-
ried by elevators to the second floor where
the pan room is located. There it will be
thoroughly mixed in an immense pan then
carried to the third floor where it is screen-
ed and sacked ready for the market, Hy-
drate of lime is used for plastering purpos-
es and being already the nature of cement
the method of baudling it is much more
rapid and satisfactory thau by the old pro-
cess,
The machinery for the plant is already
on the ground and it is the intention to
push the work of its erection as fast as pos-
sible. When completed and in operation
it will require the lahor of about twenty
skilled men to operate it. It is aleo the
intention of the American Lime and Stone
company to put up a plant to make phoe-
phate by grinding together lime and wood
ashes. This plant will be located near the
railroad, opposite the home of David J.
Kelly.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS AT: AE BROCKER-
HOFF HousE.—Workmen began yesterday
making improvements which will mean a
partial remodeling of the Brockerhoff house
and which, when completed, will make it
as up-to-date as any hotel in Central Penn-
gylvania. The small room to the left of
the main entrance, in which a handsome
tile floor has jost heen laid, has been taken
by landlord Ray and will beused asa
writing room, though a small portion in
the rear will be cut off by a wainscoting
partition for au private office for the land-
lord. These rooms will both he furnished
with the most com{ rtable and up-to-date
furniture.
The present writing room at the head of
the stairs will be converted into a parlor
while the present parlor will be furnished
as a large hed chamber, and which can also
be used as a sample room. Room 39, the
big room at the left of the stairs will be
made into two rooms with bath attached
to each. In fact the two bath rooms will
be so conveniently located that they can
be connected with either rooms 38, 39, 40
or 27, or the four rooms can be nsed as a
suite with two private baths. Naturally
these will make very desirable rooms,
being located on the first floor and all in
front, so shat when the improvements are
completed the New Brockerhoff will be
newer than ever.
A Roast.—The families of Hon. J. W.
Merrey, H. B. Clark, E.T. Quigley and
Dr. J. E Tibbeos, of Beech Creek, with
Mrs. Philips and son, of Tyrone, as guests,
indulged in a big corn roast in Orly Mer-
rey’s woods near Beech Creek last Satur-
urday evening. To any of the WATCHMAN
readers who bave ever participated ina
corn roast it is not necessary to dilate on
the pleasure the party undoubtedly had ;
and to those who have never enjoyed the
delicious taste of corn as roasted on a hot
stone in the woods and eaten with a gener.
ous supply of butter, pepper and salt, we
say, you don’t realize whata good time
and a toothsome repast you have missed.
Iu fact, knowing how delicious corn is
when roasted in this way, and also how
delightfully pleasant it is to spend an even-
ing at a corn roast, it is a wonder that they
do not become more popular during the
green corn season.

PosT-0FFICE NoTiCE. — Hereafter the
lobby of the Bellefonte post-office will be

worning until 4 o’clock in the afternoou,

delivery must call at the usual hours, name-
ly, between 9 and 10:25 o'clock. After
that hour no stamps will be sold and none
of the windows will be open for the delivery
of mail.

——The barn, carriage shed, hog pen
and other outbuildings of W. H. Long, at
Howard, together with all this year's crops
were entirely destroyed by fire last Friday.
The fire originated in the thresher and
from there was carried to the straw stack
which was all on fire so quickly that it
was impossible to extinguish the flames.
From the straw stack the fire communicated

was bard work to save the stock in the
barn. The property was insured,
