resulted in replenishing all the streams in
the county, as all arose to above their nor-

there would be danger of them freezing dry

by a cold snap with freezing weather.

——Up to this time the merchants of
Bellefonte in general have not heen over-
taxed with a big extra rush of holiday
business; a fact that might be accounted
for in any one of several ways. First, be.
canse of the increased cost of all the nec-
essaries of life, which naturally reduoces
the amount the average workman will bave
to spend on luxories, ete. Second, the
mooey market stringency may have its el-
fect on boliday buying but perhaps one of
the greatest reasons why some Bellefonte
merchants are not getting their share of
the business is becanse they do not adver-
tise, and consequently holiday shoppers go
to where they know they can get what
they want. There is no bester way to
crowd your stores with buyers than to leave
them know what you have to sell, and the
best way to do this is throngh the columns
of your newspaper.

——While Bellefonte is in no immediate
danger of a coal famine it is true, never-
theless, that anthracite coal, and especial.
ly the chestnut and pea varieties, are at
times quite scarce in this place. This
soarcity is occasioned because of the nn-
usnal demand for the smaller sizes, owing
no doubt to the fact that pea coal, at least,
is considerably cheaper than the larger
grades. The immense freight traffic on the
railroads very likely has something to do
with retarding the shipment of coal and
between the two the stock on band in
Bellefonte yards at times becomes very
low. But so far as now known consumers
need have no fear of not being able to get
enough of fuel to keep them warm, or of
any increase in the price of ame.

— William 8. Farst Feq., of Philadel-

the late Daniel Rhoads their hall interest
in what has always heen known as the
Rhoads park, on the south side of the
western end of Lion street, and which was
jointly owned by the Rhoads and Farst
estates. It is Mr. Furst’s intention to
build a block of three nice residences there,
a project that will likely be carried ont
within the next year. This will not only
greatly improve that end of Linn street but
will provide new homes in a most desirable
locality.

who have seen the play in other places say
it is well adapted to amateur talent, and as
Bellefonte has a reputation of having some
of the best amateur talent in Central Penn-
sylvania, next Tuesday night's play should
be well worth seeing; especially as most of
the favorite performers in the town will
appear in the cast.

ers of this paper to the facs that Prof. J.
Angel, the eye specialist, of Williamspors,
will be ut the Brookerhoff house on Wed-

the most important part of his announoce-
ment for this trip is the fact that he has
decided to make a reduction of twenty-five
per cent. in all his charges, so that there
need be no excuse for anyone wishing his

~——Last Friday Blanche Confer, a
danghter of B. F. Confer, of Millbeim,
was bronght to the Bellefonte hospital for
treatment for a ranniog sore on her face.
The young lady, who is twenty-one years
of age, had a tooth extracted some three
months ago. Her face began to swell short-
ly afterwards and an abscess formed which
finally developed into a running sore. An
operation was performed on her at the hos-
pital Satarday and the fact was disclosed
that the jaw bone had been broken and it
was loose particles of the hove that bad
been causing the tronble. These were re-
moved and it is now believed she will per-
manently recover.

PASADENA, CAL., Drc. 4.
EpirorR WATCHMAN: —
We have been reading in the WaTcHMAN
and other papers, as well as in private let:
ters, various comments on the disagreeable
weather you have been experiencing in the
east and thought it might be of some inter-
est to your readers, among whom we have
many dear friends, to read a brief account of
the weather at this season of the year at
Pasadena, as well as a few other items of
interest. .
We arrived here on the evening of Novem.
ber 9th and the following day was cloudy
most of the time, the sun appeared only at
brief intervals, but the day was pleasant and
comfortable, nevertheless. The next morn-
ing the sun came up brilliantly and not a
cloud was to be geen all day. So it has been
day after day, without exception, up until
the present time. One day the thermome-
tor registered 84° in the shade but usually
the temperature ranges from 70° to 78°. The
nights are always cool and the mornings
cool and bracing, but Old Sol soon warms
up the atmosphere and it is usually most
delightful, The climate is indeed marvelous,
for this season of the year, so that it is not
much wonder people flock here to enjoy it
and escape the more rigorous climate of the
east.
And then the good things we have to eat:
Fresh vegetables in great abundance, peas,
beans, caulifiower, egg plant, tomatoes and
every other vegetable you can mention. And
the fruits are just as abundant and delicious,
(Great, big blackberries, strawberries, late
penches, pears, grapes, canteloupes, watermel-
ons, ete. Aud then there are flowers, flowers
everywhere. Roses and most every other
kind of flowers grace the breakfast table,the
table at luncheon and at dinner,
With the exception of the Sabbath we have
taken a drive every morning since we came
bere. The outdoor air and the fine scenery
and good roads give great pleasure. Belle
foute is « fine place to be in the summer,
but give me Pasadena for the winter.
Sincerely yours,
Tuomas BR. Haves,
