Youse Woman Commits SuvicipE.
—Miss Minnie Clark, the nineteen-vear-old
daughter of Mr. Jobn Clark, deliberately
drank carbolic acid on Thursday morning
of last week from the effects of which she
died in the Bellefonte hospital about eight
o'clock the same evening.

sister, Mrs. Fry, and went np-stairs osten-

plainly what had happened.

That the young woman's act was de-
liberately planued ix proven by the fact
that after going to ber room and before
taking the poison she wrote a brief note of
farewell to her father aud other members
of the family, selected the persons who she
wanted to act as pall-bearers at her funeral,
the pastor _to conduct the services and the
bymuos she preferred, though she gave no
reason for her deed. And because of this
it is best to honor the unspoken wishes of
the dead and draw the veil of charity over
the causes that led up to the girl's sell-
destruction. Just where she got the poison
is yet a mystery, so far as known, though
there are strange rumors regarding it.
Miss Clark was born in Marion township
ou Jane 16th, 1888, so that she was just 19
years, 9 months and 25 days old. For
some time past her father and family have
lived in Bellefonte. Her mother died a
nomber of years ago but surviving her are
her father, two sisters, Della and Eliza-
beth ; aud the following half-brothers and
sisters : Mre. Mary Gordon, of Bellefonte;
Mrs. Maggie Fry, of Filmore ; Mrs. Sadie
Walters, of Hoaserville ; William Clark,
of Clearfield ; Walter Clark, of DuBois,
and Mrs. Charles Lose, of Bellefonte.
The funeral was held on Sunday afser-
noon at two o'clock and was very largely
attended. Rev. Barry, of the Lutheran
church, preached a very affecting funeral
sermon, after which the remains were taken
to Pleasant Gap for interment in the Luth-
eran cemetery there.
——
TaIRTY MEN GOT WORE. —Considerable
curiosity was manifested last week when
Dr. J. M. Brookerhoff announced his
scheme to give every unemployed man
work who wanted it and was willing to
work if they would report as his farm east
of Bellefonte at seven o'clock on Monday
morning, and no little speculation was
indulged as to the outcome of the offer.
As the doctor did not state the nature of
the employment be would furnish nobody
knew what they were expeoted to do uusil
their arrival Monday morning.
But when the hour lor reporting arrived
about fifty men and boys were on the
ground and presented themselves to Heory
Tibbens, the man in charge, ready to go to
work, The crowd was mostly made up
of people living in or around Bellefonte,
aud it is a fact that there really were more
of them than the dootor expected. In fact
he bad only implements enough to give
thirty men work aod this number was
picked from the entire crowd, married men
being given the preference. The work to
be done was ontting and grabbing, clean:
ing our fence rows and windbrakes. The
men went to work with a will and did a
good day’s work and when six o'clock in
the evening came Dr. Brockerhoff was on
the ground and paid every man his $1.25
for the day.
Tuesday morning only twenty-seven of
she thiréy meu reported for the job bat
they put in another day and seemed glad
of the opportunity to have something to
do. Wednesday it rained so that out-of
door work was impossible and we bave not
learned how mauy reported yesterday. As
an experiment the dootor’s offer proved
that there are some men around Bellefonte
who not only are willing to work bus want
work, though the number is not nearly so
large as had been supposed. Be that as it
may, however, the doctor bas bad almost
enough of his experiment and the cleaning
of his land will likely be completed by
contract.

ALPHA FIRE COMPANY CLEARS NICE
SUM. ~The treasury of the Alpha Fire com-
pany, of State College, was enriched about
$550 as its share of the proceeds from the
performance of George Ade’s late play,
“Just Out of College,” by the original New
York company in the anditorium at the
College, on Monday evening. About sixty
Bellelonters witnessed the performance and
the consensus of opinion was shat it was
very good. The company spent Sanday
night in Tyrone, came to Bellefonte Mon-
day morning and continued their journey
to the College, leaving on Tuesday morn-
ing for New York. The total receipts were
$1,280, of which sum $700 wens to the
company while the miscellaneous expenses
were not over swenty-five or thirty dollars.

JAILED FOR ILLEGAL FISHING.—On
Friday of last week James Kerns, Nelson
Sterger, George and Frank Wingard, of
Penn township, and John Ebert, of Gregg
township, were given a hearing before
justice of the peace John M. Keiohline on
the charge of illegal fishing. The evidence
showed that they had fished in Penns creek
with a dip nes and the justice fined them
each twenty-five dollars and costs. Two
of the young men paid their fines, two
went to jail and the case against Eberts
bas been appealed for trial in court.

HANGED HimseLrF.—Last Saturday af-
ternoon Nick Alflander, an Italian, dis.
appeared from his bome at Scotia and after
an hour's search his dead body was fonnd
in a vacant house where he had committed
suicide by hanging. From all appearances
he stood on a beer keg while placing the
noose around his neck after which be kick-
ed the keg aside and huog suspended in
the air, strangling to death. When bis
death by suicide was reported to his wile
she declined to take care of the body and
it was taken in charge by Reuben Crone-
miller and sent to undertaker Frank E,
Naginey in this place who prepared is for
burial, the funeral being beld on Monday.
Interment was made in the Catholic cem-
etery.
OPENING oF TROUT FISHING SEASON, —
Although Wednesday was nota very an-
spicions day for the opening of the troat
season, owing toa hard rain, it did nos
interfere io nuyway with the fish biting
and the catch was protahly oue of the big-
gest made ou any opening day in years, It
was & poor fisherman who did not sucoeed
in bagging at least a few of the speckled
beauties while there were vome very good |
catches and an unlimited nawher who got |
from a half dozen to fifteen. Though it is
impossible to state just how many fish
were caught on Weduesday in Centre conn-
by it is bardly an exaggeration to say thas
there must have been at leass one thous- |
and trout taken out of Logan's branch and
Spring creek. While this was the condi-
tion that prevailed hereabouts those who |
bad the courage to go to Fishiog creek and |
the mountain ¥treams were equally sucoess- !
ful, if not more so ; though a full report of
heir catobes has not been received as this
writiug. Among the individual catches
made in Logan's braveh and Spring creek
were the following :
J. M. Decker 19, Dr. Rider 8, 8. Kline
Woodring 8, George Miller 11, A. A. Dale
9, W. L. Malin 24, John Sbhugers 12, Geo.
R. Meek 14, T. Clayton Brown 3, Frank
Davis 5, John J. Bower 3, £4 Derstine 33,
which weighed just ten pounds ; W.
Harrison Walker 7, Harry Keller 8, James
Furst 17, Harry Banm 26, Louis Daggett
16, Charles Heisler 27, Frank Dawson 12,
William Walker 35, weighing nine pounds;
Thomas Harter 13, Hard P. Harris 23, M.
A. Jackson 5, Ed. Erb and bis father-in-law
43. The biggest tront caughs so far as can
be learned measured 19} inches while quite
a number measared from 14 to 17 inches
These were undoubtedly some of those
washed out of the fish hatchery ponds dur-
ing the high water a month or so ago.
Those who sav them said they were thin
and the flesh soft. Dr. J. J. Kilpatrick
and J. Kennedy Johnston went to Fishing
oreek and returned with 65 pice trout
They reported shat stream alive with
fishermen and good catches being made by
everybody they saw.
Asan indication of how many people
were oat fishing a gentleman who came to
Bellefonte on the Lewisburg train Wednes-
day morning told the writer that from the
Pleasaut Gap station to the Nittany fur-
nace he counted just two hundred and
fifty fisherman, and those composed only a
part of the crowd out.
—
A BEAUTIFUL PLAY.—The influence of
the Saviour of mankind permeates and
illamines every scene of ‘“The Holy City,”
Clarence Bennett's powerful religious play,
which is to be the offering at Garman’s
Tuesday evening, April 21st. This is all
the more remarkable when the fact is con-
sidered that He does not appear upon the
stage. Mr. Bennett has so ingeniously and
masterfully conjured up the atmosphere of
those hitter days two thousand years ago
when the Son of God mes His death upon
the hill of Calvary in expiation for the sins
of man that the spectator unconsciously
feels the nearness of the Teacher and Guide
who is so constantly referred to.
This is one of the reasons that bas
prompted so many olergymen to heartily
endorse the play and to recommend is nos
only to professing Christians, bat to all
seekers alter truth whatever their faith.
The play is not an adaptation of she sorip-
tural story. It is the soriptural story with-
out alteration or change, the narrative
recorded by the evangelists. There is an
added story which deals with she love of
Salome, the daughter of Herodias, for
Marius, a yonng Roman, bas thas is en-
tirely separate and distinot and does not
detract from the other story of the persecu-
tion, deash and glorions resurrection of the
Chriss.
The play is presented by a company of
rare excellence. Nearly all of the parts
and players having especial facilisy in the
delineation of strongly marked roles which
were chosen for the principal characters. The
settings are unusually ornate, massive and
rich and the costuming is lavish in the ex-
treme.

EAsTRR DONATION FOR BELLEFONTE
HOSPITAL.—Oue year ago the people of
Bellefonte and Centre county were most
generous in their Easter donation of eggs
and fruit to the Bellefonte hospital and as
the Ladies Aaxiliary have again requested
that the hospital be not forgotten it is
hoped the response will be equally liberal
this year. Remember that eggs are always
in demand at the hospital and there will be
no daager of overdoing the donation, no
matter how generous your contribution.
Fruit, also, is a staple very much used
and very much needed at the hospital, so
let part of your donation be along this line,
HapLey's Moving ProTures.—Belle-
fonters will again have an opportunity of
seeing Hadley’s famous moving pictures
on Monday evening, April 27th, when
they will be shuwn in Garman’s opera
house, for the benefit of Gregg Fost, No,
95. The proceeds realized will be devoted
to the improvement of the soldiers burial
lot in the Union cemetery. Hadley is
said to be better this year than ever and as
he always did give an up-to-date exhibi-
tion the people of Bellefonte can feel as-
sured of something entirely new in the
moving pictare line.

—— While fishing on Logans branch on
Wednesday morning Harry Keller stepped
on a big rusty spike whioh ran through his
gum boot and penetrated his foot to a
depth of an inch or more. He came home
as soon as possible and bad the wound
caunterized. The accident will necessitate
his staying in the house for a few days
to avoid she possibility of blood poison or
any other bad complication setting in.
