Roosevelt for “Tim” Woodrafl
Is is semi-officially announced that
“Tim' WooDRUFF, of New York, is to be
the administration candidate for Vice
President. Of Mr. WOODRUFF it may be
said that be is nota very good man hat
weighs two hundred and fifty pounds.
His public service is limited to two terms
in the office of Lieatenant Governor of
New York. His achievement is leading
the fashion in favoy waistcoats. As Lien-
tenant Governor he was without influence,
As a leader of fashion he is bizarre. Bus
he is rich beyond the dreams of avarice
and by the jondicions use of his *‘bar’l”’ has
aoquired a considerable following of ma-
obine politicians.
That an idealist like ROOSEVELT ould
degenerate to such palpable political com-
merce is more or less surprising. The
adoption of WOODRUFF is a complete sur-
He twice aspired to she Governorship of
bis State and was literally laughed out of
the conventions. RoOSEVELT himself ridi-
onled the ahsurd pretense. Bat that was
while ROOSEVELT still cherished his ideals,
Lately he has abandoned them and there is
no expedient he is not willing to espouse
in order to promote the perpetuation of his
policies. WOODRUFF is forbidding but
ROOSEVELT is ready to accept him.
The present indications are that Tarr
will be nominated bat his chances of reach-
ing the Presidency will not be advanced hy
associating WOODRUFF with him. Even
bitter and bardeuned partisans would revolt
agaivst such a perversion of publio life.
The vice presidency has not allured the
most distinguished men bat it bas hitherto
been occupied by wen of high character, at
least. This ix a tradition which we don’t
believe ROOSEVELT will be able to break
down and the nomination of **TiM"’ WooD-
RUFF would be an insult to the decency
of the country. Let us hope that such a
thing will not happen.
Latest Fad of Dr. Kalbius.
Is there no way under the san to restrain
Dr. KauBrus, secretary of the alleged
Game Commission? For years he has been
threatening every cherished pleasure of the
people in order to foster the interest which
he has, at least nominally, in charge, and
00 man can go to bed at night withous ap-
prehensions that the morning papers will
bring information of some new fad of the
doctor. Last winter, during the session
of the Legislature, he was in the lobby
most of the time importuning Senators and
Representatives to vote for one absurd
measure or another. He was disappointed
in his worst hopes, bappily, bus he will be
back.
Dr. KALBFUS'S latest fad is the destrac-
tion of cats. He wants to wipe the whole
feline family off the face of the earth for
the reason shat their dainty palates orave
birds. Others enjoy a hot bird and a cold
bottle and a hungry oat is hardly to be
blamed because it relishes a tid bit without
adding the condiment which makes men
wild, women reckless and all humanity
foolish. Bus Dr. KALBFUS condemns
them, not to ordinary punishment for this
temperamental peculiarity, but to violent
death. He would bave the Governor infla-
ence the Legislature to a movement for the
extinction of cates.
As a matter of fact Dr. KALBFUS is mak-
ing a nuisance of himself and surning the
so-called protection of game into ridicule.
Every reasonable man is in favor of the
protection of game, song and inseotiverons
birds along intelligent lines. Baus to ocon-
vert a beneficent movement of thas sort into
a process which would deprive the people
of sheir pets and the country men and boys
of a rational source of pleasure, in order to
save the birds for wealthy men in the cities
who bave acquired preserves and formed
expensive clabs, is an intolerable infrac-
tion of the principles of justice.

DEATH oF DR. DALE —The announce-
ment of the death of Dr. J. Y. Dale, of Le-
mont, on Taesday morning, was a great
shook to his many [friends all over the
“| county who thought of him only asa
healthy, well-preserved man, even if he
was close ou the border of three score years
aod ten. He bad not been sick at all, and
so far as known bad wade no complains of
feeling ill. On Mooday he attended to bis
practice as usual and that evening made a
professional call as she home of Prof. Wil.
lard at State College. He lefs the house
and started towards his baggy, only a short
distance away, bat just before reaching the
vehicle he sank to the ground ‘Che only
person who saw him was William Markle,
son of Joseph Markie, and he ran to the
dootor’s assistance. He helped him ap and
into the buggy, then unetying the horse and
putting the lines in his hands asked bim if
he could get home all right. The doctor
was uuvable to speak and merely nodded
bis head affirmatively. As it was then
abont dark no ove noticed him oo the 10ad
as his horse traveled the distance from State
College to bis home in Lemont unguided.
Mrs. Dale beard the arrival of the convey-
ance at home and when ber husband failed
to come in as soon as she expected she went
to see what was wrong and found him io the
buggy uoconscious aud helpless, and she at
once realized that be had been stricken
with apoplexy.
Securing assistance the dootor was oar.
ried into the house and word was at once
telephoned to his son, Dr. David Dale, of
this place. He started for Lemont in his
automobile but bad an accident on the top
of Rishel’s hill and delayed until over-
taken by Drs. Hayes and Sebring, who
also bad been sammoned, aud she three
proceeded to the Dale home where they
found the doctor in a very critical condi.
tion. The three of them worked with him
until four o'clock in the morning when Dr.
Sebring returned home. Dr. Hayes re.
mained until morning when, it being evi
dent shat nothing could be done to save
the man’s life he came home on the train
and it was only a few minutes past nine
o'clock when Dr. Dale breathed his lass.

of she oldest und best known families in

began the practice of medicine hut a year
later, in the fall of 1864, Dr. Berry died as
his home in Lemont aod Dr. Dale went
there as his sncoessor, and has heen located
there ever since. In the almost forty-five
years of his practice of medicine he was
recognized as one of the best physicians in
this section. He was aman of wide ao
quaintance notwithstanding the fact that
he was of a retiring disposition. At the
time of his death he was secretary of the
Centre county medical society, and was a
member of the West Branch and Pennsyl-
vania State medical societies.
He was married in the early sixties to
Miss Matilda Allport, of Philipsburg, who

ily of eight children, seven sons and one
daoghter, he having attained the greatest
age of any of them.

THis BEAR STORY 1s Nor “‘FIsuy.”—
Cousiderable excitement was caused in
Bellefonte on Monday morning when word
was telephoved in from Coleville that a
monster black bear had come down off Man-
oy mountain, down the road through Cole-
ville and in as far as the Bellefonte bor-
ough line where it ondoabtedly scented
trouble if it came further, so turned off the
road, scampered actos the meadow hack of
the old glass works site and orossing the
Bellefonte Central railroad tracks close to
several houses went np over the hill and
back onto the mountain. As first is was
reported that Mr. Bruin bad stopped at
Harry Garbriok’s store for a package of po-
lar bear tobacco, but that was not true,
In fact the hear was not in Coleville at
all It doubtless deemed it wise so skirt
that town so alter taking a prep over the
village came down off the moontain
through the old stone quarry of the Belle-
fonte furnace company. The bear was seen
by a dozen people as it crossed to the pub-
lio road and made its way toward Belle-
foute. Just what deterred it from coming
right into town will perhaps never be
known, as so far bruin bas sent back no
word to explain his actions. Be that as it
may, however, he recrossed the meadow
aud took to the moontain. Of conrse when
Bellefonte nimrods were apprised of the
fact that a bear wae ruminating in thas sec-
tion they became very much agitated, but
not enough to start after the bear ; and is
probably did not go farther than the top of
the mountain where there is still a quanti-
ty of nohusked corn in one or two fields.
That it has donbtless been making thas lo-
cality its feeding grounds for some time is
evedinoed by the fact that bear tracks have
heen ween in that vicinity and down the
mountain side ever since the hig snow fall
last week. Monday evening a story was
circulated that the bear had been shot on
the mountain above Snow Shoe Interseo-
tion but such was noé the case.

ORE WasHER BURNED.—The hig wash-
er at the Scotia ore mines was entirely de-
stroyed by fire between seven and eight
o'clook Saturday morning. Io addition to
the washer the house in which it wan lo-
cated, as well as the tipple was also de-
stroyed while two stationary engines were
entirely ruined. The fire started a few
minutes before seven o'clock, just shortly
before she time for beginning work for the
day, and ite origin is wnoertain, though it
was likely caused from a spark or the care-
less dropping of a lighted matoh. Every
morning before startiog up it was the duty
of a hoy to go all over the machinery and
oil it. Is was while he was on the tipple
Saturday morning that the fire started, and
although it is not positively known it ie
just possible that the boy may in some
way have dropped aespark which ignited
the 01] and waste lying around.
Outside of the washer house and contents
no damage was done the rest of the works.
The Scotia ore mines are owned by the
Bellefonte furnace company and have been
in continuous operation since purchased by
them from the Carnegie company. While
they have vot fully figured up the loss, is
is approximately from $12,000 to $15,000,
and is partially covered by insurance. The
worat feature of the fire is thas it of course
puts the plant out of commission and
throws most of the employees out of work,
which will prove quite a bardship to them
this winter. It is just possible, however,
that the company may resume operations
at Red Bank in a month or so which will
give moet of the men work.
Of course the destruction of the ore
washer will in no way affect the running
of the furnace. The company bas on hand
astock of ten thousand tons of ore, or
enough to run them for several months,
and by that time they will be able to have
one or more of their mines in operation.
——The annual meeting of the Centre
county medical society for the election of
officers, eto., whioh was to have been held
on Tuesday was postponed on account of
the death of Dr. Dale, the secretary, and
the illness of Dr. Christ, the president;
the doctors who had come to Bellefonte
for the meeting merely being oalied to
order and then adjourned to some future
date.

G. A. R. OrricERs ISarassD=Though
year by gear they are growing fewer in
number, their ranks decimated by thas
grim enemy, death, the members of the
Grand Army of tbe Repanlie, are not lack-
ing in enthusiasm and patriotism and ad-
vantage is taken of every opportunity to
show the public at large that they still sar-
vive. Ouve such occasion was last Saturday
evening when a pablic installation of the
pewly elected officers of Gregg Post, No.
95, was held. Previoos to the installation,
or from 5:30 o'clock until all were fed, a
fiee supper was served members of the
poss, visiting comrades and invited guests
by the members of the Woman’s Relief
Corps, and guaite naturally this proved one
of the most enjoyable features of the even-
ing, for who can imagine an old soldier,
with dim visions of those early days in the
sixties, when rations consisted of hard tack
and hacon—often minus the bacon—who
nowadays does not relish a good meal. And
they one abd all manage to do fall justice
to the good edibles spread in front of them,
as was the case Saturday evening.
The installation ceremonies took place at
eight o'clock, and were as usual, quite im-
pressive. Gen. W. H. Green, of Philadel-
phia, department inspector, was the in-
stalling officer and conducted the services
in a most impressive manner. As the con-
clusion of these services past commander
W. H. Masser was called to the cbair and
presided as commander in ohief over one of
the most spirited camp fires shat has heen
held in Gregg Post rooms for some time.
Alter Mr. Musser bad applied the torch
Col. J. L. Spangier was introduced and the
log he added to the fire must have been of
pitch pine, for the way it crackled and
snapped as the colonel proceeded with his
ta'k made the eyes of the old soldiers glis-
ten and the blood course more freely
through their veins. Others who added
fuel to the flames were Dr. William Laurie,
D. D,, LL. D., Rev. James B. Stein, Rev.
J. Allison Platts, J. R. Pheasant and com-
rade Nelson, of Post 261 ; S. H. Bennison
and 8. B. Miller, so that it was quite iate
in the evening hefore the dying embers
warned all that it wae time to go home,
The officers installed were as follows :
Commander, H. B. Pontius; senior vice
commander, Isaad Thomas ; junior vice
commander, Joseph Alters ; officer of the
day, John I. Curtin ; officer of the guard,
Charles Eckenroth; quartermaster, W. H.
Musser; sergeants, John H. Bryan; chap.
lain, James Harrie; adjutant, Emanuel
Noll ; sergeant major, Monroe Armor ;
patriotic inspector, 8. B. Miller.

A HospiTAL BENEFIT. —Friday evening,
Jan. 31ss, Beallefonsers will bave the pleas
are of hearing Dr. Thomas C. VanTries in
his famous recital, ‘Anecdotes and Remin-
isoences of Eminens Men and Women
Whom I Have Seen and Heard.” This re-
vital, whioh will be given in the oourt
house, beginning at 7.45 p. m., must not
be confounded with the ordinary didactic
lecture, as it is not. The speaker merely
ams to ses forth, by anecdotes and word
piotures, important moral and religions
truths gathered from the ablest and best
men of the past third of a century, inser-
spersed with the witticisma of distinguish-
ed lecturers. Those who have heard the
recital say it is both bighly entertaining
and instructive. No admittance will be
charged but as the recital will be given for
the benefit of the Bellefonte hospital a sil
ver collection will be lifted. In this con-
peotion it is hoped shat the people will re-
spond liberally. Dr. VanTries is giving
the entertainment gratis, not asking one
cent, so that all the money contributed will
go to the hospital. As itis to be a silver
offering it must not be understood that
nothing larger shan a silver dollar will be
accepted, silver vertificates in any denomi-
nation will be just as s \hankiully received.

ley, an employee of she Bellefonte Central

now getting along all right. The accident
occurred because the valves for emptying

A PoINTER.—Al Tyrrell is advertised as
being with Vogels minstrels again this sea-

singing comedian we have ever hemd in

the price of admission. If you don’t see

will miss a treat—that is, of course, if you
