ProMises Bic THINGS. — Five weeks
ago the WaTcHMAN published an article
relative to G. W. Hooden, of New Bethle-
bem, being in Bellefonte in the interest of
the Melntosh cement brick-making ma-
chines. At the time the gentleman in-
spired considerable enthusiasm among a
nawber of Bellefonters by telling them of
the fortune lying practically at their door-
step, in the mauvafacture of cement brick
from the mountains of slag piled up at the
two furnaces near town. Though his story
was discounted to a certain extent, because
it was realized shat his main purpose here
was to dispose of his brick making ma-
chines, it was still glowing enough to in-
terest a number of Bellefonters who bave
been quietly carrying on investigations in
their own beball.
They have had made a small quantity of
cement bricks from she farnace =lag and
are now at work putting them through all
Decessary teste to prove their efficiency.
Several of the bricks were taken to the
Bellefonte furnace last Friday to be tested
as to their capacity to withstand heat.
They were put in a white hot furnace and
left there for seventy-two hours and when
taken out on Monday were apparently as
soand and perfect as when pat in the heat.
They bave also been tested chemically and
have withstood the hardest test. So far, it
cau be said, the parties interested feel very
mueh encouraged aud if all sheir investiga:
tions prove as favorable as the brick tests
there is every likelihood thas a plant for
the mavafacture of cement bricks will be
built in Bellefonte before very long.
Cement hricks are practically a new
commodity in the market but where they
bave heen tried are preferred over the ordi-
nary building brick or even pressed brick.
Toey are used for building and paving par-
poses and io either way, it is claimed, will
far outlast the oidinary brick. And when
it is considered that they can be manufac.
tured at even a less cost than the ordinary
building brick there is no doubt about a
market being found for them. Within a
radius of one hundred miles of Bellefonte
over one hundred million brick are used
every year for varions purposes and those
who ase them will nasorally select the best
brick they can get for the money, so that
| there ix no doubt bat that a cement brick
plavt in Bellefonte conld easily dispose of
its entire output.
Sach is the condition of affairs at the
present, aud the wain question tu answer,
| as it now appears, is, will the men who are
behind she project be able to get the
financial backing to push it to a successful
fruition ? There is slag enough piled up |
at the two farvaces near Bellefonte to keep
a big plant rauoing for years and taro ont
millives upon millions of brick so that, if
the brick prove all it 18 believed they will,
tLere is no doubt bat that there is a small
fortune iv it for the man or company who
will take hold of the matter.

HEROIC Acer PERFORMED AT RIGHT
"Time. —On Thursday of last week a small
party of people from Williamsport and
Lock Haven were picnicking at Heola
park. Daring the afternoon several of the
party, among whom was Rand McManus,
the little son of Mr. and Mra. MoManus,
of Williamsport, decided to make a trip up
the gap to inspect the trout stream. They
had not gone far when the MoMaous boy
gave one soream then began to ory. Hurry-
ing to bim the men in the party discovered
a hig rattlesnake which was promptly
killed. Though badly frightened the boy
managed to tell that he had been bitten by
the snake and this so frightened his mother
that she fainted and the other members of
the party were almost panic-stricken.
Fortunately an aatomobile party came
along at the time and hearing the fuss
stopped to inquire what was wrong. On
learning that the little boy had been bit-
ten by a rattlesnake one of the young ladies
in the amo party took matters in her own
hands. Taking the boy on her knee she
detracted his attention from the injury by
telling him barmless stories, but in the
meantime she was busy as a professional.
With deft fingers she removed his shoe and
stocking when the bite was plainly dis
cernible just about the shoe top. Bhe then
wound her havdkerchief tightly around
the little leg above the bite and with a
penknife borrowed from one of the men,
which she sharpened on a stone and steril-
ized in the fire of burning matches, she ont
cut the wound made by the bite and
enough of the surrounding flesh to remove
the poison. Then bandaging the wound
as well as possible with the materials at
hand tarned the child over to one of the
men with the injuuoction to ges him toa
doctor as soon as possible, which was done
accordingly. Bat so skillful bad been the
operation of the young woman shat the
doctor declared there was little more Le
sonld do than dress the wound ; and that
the young woman's prompt and heroic
action had undoubtedly saved the ohild’s
life, as he ha: since experienced no ill
effete.
Having performed ber duty as amateur
surgeon the young lady who had thus
taken masters in ber own hands elipped
away very qaietly and before the mother,
Mrs. MoManus, bad an opportunity to
thank her or even fiod out her name. But
inquiry since has developed the fact that
the young lady was none other thao Miss
Isabella Huston, daughter of Dr. and Mrs,
J.H.Huston, of Clintondale,and this fact no
doubt accounts for not cnly her knowledge
but rare presence of mind in a time like
the above. And while she Las not yet had
au opportunity of personally thanking
Miss Huston, in a letter to the WATCHMAN
Mrs. McManus expresses hersell as being
under life-long obligations to her,

A Horerur Report. —The depositorian
of she Centre county bible society reports
an extended continuous circulation of the
soriptures. He spent one day last week in
Jalian, Bellview and Martha where mem-
bers of the bible schools purchased all
of the bibles and testaments he had
with him and gave orders for more. He
says that a demand for she bible in any
place is always a hopeful sign, being proof
of a good work in progress. With a faith.
fal use of the ‘‘sword of the spiris, which is
the work of God,” there is never a failure
of she Divine blessing.

PooRMAN FAMILY REUNION.—About
five hundred members of the well known
Poorman family held their third annual
reunion in Kohlbeoker's grove in Boggs
township last Satarday, and it proved one
of the most pleasant gatherings ever held,
Representatives of the family were present
from Centre, Clinton and Lycoming coun-
ties, and several from the new State of Ok-
lahoma. As the business meeting all the
old officers were re-elected and everybody
was enthusiastic in deciding to make the
annual reanion a permanent affiair. Very
entertaining addresses were made by T. P.
Meyer, of Look Haven, and J. C. Harper,
of Bellefoute. Oue of the prominent fea-
tures of the gathering was the dinner, and
it was so elaborate that a few hungry
Bellefonters who happened to be guests
there that day could hardly realize shat all
the good things spread before them were
put there just to eat. Various sports help-
ed to while away the time in the afternoon
for the young people while those a little
more advanced in years swapped stories
and recounted reminiscences of days gone
by when the elder Poormar was among
the pioneer settlers in Bald Eagle valley.
All fn all it was a woet delightful day's
outing.

Nor EFFECTED. — While ‘business iv all
lines seems to be more or less depressed
and as & vatuoral consequence it might have
been expected thas there would be a cur-
tailment in expense accounts wherever pos-
sible we were very much surprised to learn,
on Monday, that the opening of the Belle-
fonte Academy in two weeks will be witha
larger student roll than ever before. It is
more han gratifying to note this condition.
And to meet it Mr. Hoghes announces a
corps of instruotors the lkke of which no
emall school in the country would think of
having.
Is is all in line with the character and
progressive spirit of this century old insti-
tution. The work it does justifies the po-
sition of eminence it bolds among prepara-
tory schools and the policy it pursaes leaves
no doubt that its future will more than
fulfill the hopes of its founders.
SoLpIER'S REUNION T0 BE HELD HERE

was in Bellefonte Monday making arrange-
ments for the holding of the annual re-

Regimental association in this place on

23rd. This is always one of the largest
reanions of old soldiers held in shis part

this year's gathering will be as well at-
tended as any in recent years. Bellefonte,
at least, will do her part toward showing
the old soldiers a good time.
