Here THE PooR—Two coulerences of ministers and laymen as well as other charitably inclined people were held in the Y. M. C. A. rooms this week for the par- pose of devising means for raising a charity fund and the best method for helping those actually in need in Bellefonte and vicinity. Under present conditions, with many of the industries around Bellefonte closed and most of the others only working part of the time, there are families in this seo- tion in actual need of the necessaries of life. Of course it is only temporary assist ance they need as just as soon as there ie work to do the existing condition will be relieved. In the meantime men, women aud children must have something to eat and enough fuel to keep warm. The result of the conferences held was the appointment of a general committee who will bave charge of any fand contrih- uted and, wisn the belp of at least one representative from each of tbe Bellefonte churches, seé that all those in actual need are given assistance to tide them over until the husband or whoever provides for the family can obtain woik. Todo this prop erly it will be necessary for those who bave woney and can afford it,to give as liberally a possible to this charity fund. There are more actual cases of need thau is generally sapposed aud if the good work is to be done it ought to be begun at ouce. As an evidence of the truth of the above it is only necessary to take a census of the schools. The attendauce at the public schools of Bellefonte is just now smaller than it has been in years and no truant officer can do anything to help the difficul- ty, as pupils are being destained at home simply because they do not have the proper clothing to attend in this kind of weather. It may be that they lack a coat or garm ents for their body, but in most of the cases it is because of a lack of shoes. And in this con- nection we desire to state that all who are able to help should be willing to do so. If you have a pair of shoes that you have out- grown, or a coat or wrap of any kind that you have cast aside, give it to those who not only need it, bat will appreciate it. All such articles delivered te Jobo D. Meyer, supervising principal of the Beile- fonte schools, will be carefally sorted and given to those who need them. In this way the wants of those tn need will not only be relieved but children who want to attend school but are now unable to do so because of the lack of proper olothing will again be able to attend as asual. As a last word we want to say, don’t he at all backward in your philanthropy. It you have only one pair of hall-worn shoes, or a coat that is partly threadbare but for which you have no use, give it. Give anything and everything yon oan, as it will help those who need it, and perbaps need it badly. FREE FIGHT AMONG FOREIGNERS FoL- LOWS MARRIAGE.—On Tuesday morning at ten o'clock Rev. Fasher MoArdle per- formed the marriage ceremony which gave Mrs. Aonie Simcoe her second husband. Mrs. Simcoe, it will be remembered, was the widow of Steve Simcoe, one of the men who wae killed in the big land slide in the No. 2 quarry of the American Lime and Stone company a little over a year ago. Of course over such a propitious event as her wedding there was reason for much merry making and as is the oustom among the foreign element, a wedding and a birth is always celebrated by a feast, with plenty to eat and much beer to drink, followed by a dance. And this was the program for Tuesday night, and is was carried out to the letter of the law and a little beyond. Will Bronse and Harry Gehret were second best guests of honor next to the bride and groom and whether it was becanse the bride danced too often with Will or hecanse of that kiss so generously bestowed on Harry Gebres by one of the good looking Ama- zons in the party bas not been divalged, but at any rate a free-for-all fight was started in which knives were not only flonr- ished but used quite freely. Word was telephoned to Bellefonte that a riot was in progress and the sheriff with deputy Fred Rees and policeman George Jodon hurried out to the scene of revelry and revenge. By the time they got there the appetites of the bloodthisty had been appeased and instead of finding a half doz- en or more dead men the officers only found several who were binding up a few knife thrusts, though none of them serious. Of course the law must be enforced and after buntivg around among the throng the sher- iff and bis party arrested three men who appeared to be the ringleaders and escorted them to jail where they have since had am- ple time to reflect over their doings. P. 8.—Will and Harry both escaped. em THE RoyAL SLAVE. — Clarence Ben- net's attractions are so well known every- where tbat is is with pleasure the manager of Garman'’s opera .house announces the coming of one of his standard successes, “A Royal Slave,” which is hooked to play here Mouday evening, Febroary 17:h. The author, who wrote that other phenem- enal success, ‘‘The Holy City,” bas chosen for the action of the piece the most romantio period in the history of Mexico, the briel reign of the unfortunate Max- imillian, The character of Aguilla, the descendant of the Monteznmas, the last of a race now extinot, is a poetio oreation which appeals to our imagination. The other oharacters of a long and interesting cast are equally strongly drawn. The speginlties introduced hy the comedy element are striotly in keeping with the atmosphere of the surroundings and the bis of sword-play in the duel scene, second aot, is as pretty an exhibition as one could witness. ——Pine Grove Mills was without train service all of last week on account of the deer drifts on the Bellefonte Central railroad. —William L. Sicele presented both the Logan aod Undine fire companies with a check for fifteen dollars for their efforts so- ward saving bis property the night his house was on fire. em — Harris B. Heylumn, who since leav ing Bellefonte bas heen cashier of the Citizen's National bank, of Indiana, has resigned that position to hecome secretary and treasurer of the Homestead Savings aud Trust company, of Homestead. ee eee —=—0n Taesday Knisely brothers of this place, received a beautiful peacock which they sent to Williamsport to bave mounted and later it will fill the place of honor among their collection of animals and fowls in their pool room and cigar store. The dead bird is a perfect and most bean- tiful specimen with a tail easily three feet long and brilliantly hued in coloring. -—ee ~——— A force of men were put to work at Nittany furnace on Monday morniug clean- ing up and patting the plant in shape for starting up on or about March first. This will be good news to the old employees and the one hope of everybody is that once put in blast the market for ison will have im- proved to such an extent that the manage- ment can see their way clear to keeping it in operation. ————— res ——The Methodists of Look Haven will present a petition to the annual Central Pennsylvania M. E. conference, which will meet in York in Maroh, asking for the assignment of Rev. W. P. Bhiiner to the pastorate of their church. Rev. Shriner, who for several years past has been station- ed at Carlisle, was formerly pastor of the church in this place, and is an able and eloquent minister. ——R. E. Urell, who a year or two ago was one of the force of clerks at the Bash house and consequently will be well re- membered by the people of Bellefonte, is now in charge of the Mansfield public li- brary at Tioga. This library was organiz- ed and opened in 1901 and already has three thousand volumes on the shelves. It is the purpose to increase this stook as soon as possible to five thousand volumes, em ———Last week three young women of Bellefonte while on their way home were chased by a man. In one instance, at least, the man was so persistent in his attempts to force his attentions on the young woman that it is claimed she recog- nized him. Chasing women on the streets after night is a dangerous business and if the man is canght'who is doing it summary punishment will likely be his portion. A —— Just forty years ago last Monday, or on February 10th, 1868, W. L. Malin opened the first Western Union telegraph office established in Bellefonte. And while we think we have been having cold weath- er now that gentleman assures the writer that during one whole week at that time the thermometer never went ahove zero, day or night, while at night it was from four to as low as fifteen degrees below zero. ~The family of our good friend Riley Pratt, at Unionville, is a sadly afflicted ove at present. His wife has heen confined to her bed for months and her condition is now oritical; a daughter, Mrs. Harry Black, is seriously ill with cancer of the stomach and a few days ago a son, Seth, a mail agent with a ran from New York to Pitts- burg, was brooght home with inflammatory rbeamatism, and so bad he cavuot help bimself as all. —— ~——A#s the fourth quarterly conference of the Methodist church held last Friday evening by a unanimous vote the congrega- tion decided to send a memorial to the an- nual conference when it convenes at York in March asking for Rev. Stein’s return to the Bellefonte church. Rev. Stein's work in Bellefonte has bern most commendable and highly eatisfactory to his entire con- gregation and itis hoped that conference will return him. —-. ——The venerable Rev. J. F. Tallhelm,of Jalian, is seriously ill with his chances for recovery very doubtful. Rev. Tallhelm, who is now almost eighty-four years old, is a retired minister in the United Brethren church. He was actively engaged in preaching the gospel for three score years and was one of the best known and most promivent divines in his oburch in Central Pennsylvania, having served three terms as presiding elder. ————— ——Tyrove’s ‘‘Big Five’ basket ball team, which has been defeating most every team it has gone up against outside of Bellefonte, undoubtedly strikes a hoodoo when it reaches this place, as in the game with the Bellefonte Academy in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium last Saturday evening they were defeated by the overwhelming score of 54 to 16. At State College last Thursday evening State's basket ball team defeated the W. U. P. team by the score of 40 to 14. ————— fp pr ——Quoe of the hess paintings that has ever been brought to Bellefonte was on ex- hibition the past week in the window of F. P. Blair & Co’s jewelry store. Itis an oil painting of Mrs. George A. Beezer and her little daughter Eleanore,and was paint- ed by Antrim & Lasadsy, of Philadelphia. This firm has painted portraits for many Bellefonte people and their work has al- ways proven moss satisfactory. In fact, its quality is so well known that it carries with it its own guarantee. But in no picture they ever brought to Bellefoute has the exquisite blending of lights and colors been #0 barmonious and life-like as in the pie- ture of Mrs. Beezer and her daughter. Goop Arnneric FieLp For BELLE FONTE.— This week James R. Hughes, principal of the Bellefonte Academy, com pleted arrangements wherehy he secured complete control of the glass works meadow and it is now nis purpose to make out of the same a complete athletic grounds for the use of th various athletic teams of the Academy as well as all manner of sports. It is the purpose to enclose the grounds with a high boaid fence erect a grand stand and bleachers and grade the ground so as to make it a perfect field for base ball, foot hall or any other oatdoor sport. To do this will require ahout $1,800, and here is where the people of Bellefonte and the pablic at large can show their interest in the Academy by lending their encour agement and financial aid. A voting con test has been arranged as to who is the most popular merchans in Bellefoote. It will oost just one penny a vote and you can vote as many aod as often as you see fis. In fact the more and oftener the better. Three years ago over two thousand dollars were raised by popular subscription to fix vp the grounds surrounding the Academy and now it onght to be a comparatively easy matter to raise the amount desired to build a complete athletic field. The only thing necessary to do is for every friend of the Academy to push the project along. It will not only be helping this most admirable educational institution hut at the same time will be providing a field for sports which has long been needed | | attending the bakers and ice cream makers’ in Bellefonte; and thirdly, will give you au opportunity to stand up for your friend, the merchant. Two voting stations will be arranged to start with, one at The Index and another at Geo. T. Bush’s stationery store, where locked boxes will be placed in which you can drop your pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters or dollars and your ticket with number of votes recorded. The hoxes will be ready and the stasions opened to morrow (Satorday ) morning, and she vote will be announced in the papers. The cou- test will continue until the amount of money desired has been raised. In connection with this proposition it might be stated that now that Mr. Hughes has secured control of these grounds ali ap- plications for concessions of any kind shere- on must be made to him personally. TWENTY-NINE DEGREES BELOW ZERO. —1It seems very much like foroing an issue , to be saying something about the weather every week hut if the weather continues cutting up such gueer capere as it has heen the past three weeks we will have to tell about it. When the early risers in Belle- fonte Sunday morning found the thermom- eters registering from 16 to 23 degrees bslow zero according to location they of coarse thought it was pretty cold; and even the people who slept until nine o’clock and did not get out of bed until after the sun was high in the heavens were around in time to get nipped with zero weather, so that it was enough to make a person feel as it be was in the Klondyke, bat when the | word came from Clarence that it was 29 de- grees below zero out there it made it seem comparatively warm bere. At State Col- lege it was 18 below and at Centre Hall only 10. But then Centre Hall always was a little slow in keeping up with the times, even in cold weather. The extreme cold naturally played havoo with the water pipes and hydrante all over town. In the Temple Court, a building heated with steam, the large water pipe which furnishes the power for the elevator, froze up and burstedl and wheo it thawed out during the day the cellar was flooded with water before the water was shat off and necessary repairs made. The water pipe which runs from the main on east High street into F. E. Nagivey’s bounse froze at the out off in the street, fifty-four inches under ground. Even hot water pipes were frozen up in various houses around town. Monday morning was also cold bat not over ten degrees below zero, and it is possible that Sunday will stand as a record for the winter. — eee For LocaL OPriox. —Though the at- tendance was not as large as it was hoped it would be yet the number of people pres- ent at the three meetings held iu the court house last Thursday in the interest of the local option movement showed that the cause of temperance is rapidly advancing to that point where the question of a con- tinnance or discontinnance of the liquor traffic will be left to the people to decide. And this will probably be the only eatis- factory way of settling the question, pro- viding it is submitted to them in the right kind of a way. As a sequence of last Thursday's meet- ing a local branch of the anti-saloon league was organized with the following officers : President, David F. Fortney E«q.; seo- retary, Isano Underwood; treasurer, James Harris. It was decided to engage a room and hold regular meetings and to this end a room in Petriken hall has been secured and the meetings will be held there. Mr. Nicholson, secretary of the anti- saloon league of Pennsylvania, who was to bave been present last Thursday evening and make an address, was detained and Dr. Chase, of Harrisburg, spoke instead. Fol- lowing on the heels of Thursday’s meeting Bishep Stanford, of Harrisburg, represent. ing the anti-saloon league, was in Belle- fonte over Sunday and that morning preach- ed a sermon in the Methodiet ohuroh in the interest of local option. On the same day H. A. Davie Esq., of Altoona, was in Belle- fonte in the interest of the same movement and spokein the Presbyterian church in the mourning aad the IU the evening. —r —— Robert M.

The Freshmen made all their ar- rangements aod kept them so gniet that the Sophs were almost outwitted. As early as Monday evening the class presi- | dent, Billy Baroets, with Jake Mosser and a number of the other banquet orators, left the College on a little trip to Belle- fonte. Snspecting that the banquets bee was buzziug in their ears they were fol- lowed by a »quad of Sophe but they evad- ed them in this place and got away on the night train to Williamsport. The same right a number of Freshmen walked to Bellefonte through the deep snow and were joined by others the next morning, all of them continuing their journey to the Lom- ber city. The big bulk of the class, however, ar- ranged to go down on Tuesday night. They chartered a special train over the Pennsylvania railroad and in order to throw the Sophs off their guard bad the Bellefonte Central bring shem to Bellefonte ina train of box cars. The train did not go to the College but stopped at the stone quarry about a mile away. Notwithstand- ing the fact thas the Sopbs had every part of the campas under guard the Freshmen managed to get together and start shrongh the deep snow for the stone quarry. Bat the Sophs were also wise by that time and at the train the two classes came together aod for a balf hour or more fought and tambled in the snow for the mastery. Bat the Freshmen came out victorious, as they outnumbered the Sophs three to one and the result was that over two hun- dred and fifty of them got away, made the journey to Bellefonte in their train of box cars and here took. their special train for Williamsport. They will return this morning. ee Took His OWN Lire.—It was quite a shock to those who knew him in this place to learn on Monday that Frank Harrie, a brother-in-law of Col. W.

Mr. Harris left a note addressed to the newspapers in which he stated that financial troubles alone was the oaase of his act, as his domestic life was ex- ceptionally happy.

The body was taken from Boston to Lan- caster where burial was made. rH To HANDLE THE ForpD MACHINES. —Will Keichline has taken the exclusive agency for the Ford automobiles and is making arrangements to push the sale of them in this section.
