Science "’
The introduction of courses in domestic
education into the curriculum of The
| Pennsylvania State College was discussed
| in the programs of various women’s olubs
of the State and an agitation was began,
| beaded by Miss McKnight, president of
| the Federation of Women’s Clabs of Penn-
| tion of $12,000, made June 30th, 1907, by
| the State Legislature for establishing a
| Department of Home Economics for Wom-
| en in the College, and $13,000 tor renovat-
ling, altering and enlarging the existing |
| dormitory for women.
| The old dormitory was erected in 1889
at a cost of $12,016, the money being ap.
propriated by the Legislature. The new
woman’s building just completed is located
on the west side of the old building and
| connected thereto with a wide hallway.
| The plans for the building were drawn by
architect J. Herbert Hall, of Huntingdon.
It is of the same style of architectare avd
material as the old one so that the two
buildings harmonize as ove. The entire
building is about one hundred and forty
feet in length, fitty feet deep and three
stories in height. It contains [fourteen
suites of rooms, each suite being comprised
| of two bed rooms and a sitting room; and
| nine single rooms in the domitories, enough
| to accommodate twenty-two students as
well as the instructors. On the first floor
is a big reception room, an immense laho-
{ratory and two smaller demonstrating
| rooms. There are also several small labor-
| atoriea on the second floor. All in all it
| is a most complete Haiiding and one very
cleverly adapted to the needs of the course
in home economics,
President Edwin Erie Sparks extends a
cordial invitation to the ladies of Belle-
fonte to go to the College this (Friday)
morning and participate in the dedicatory
exercises. He especially desires as large a
representation from Bellefonte as possible.

WHAT A PoOoR BUT ENTERPRISING
Young MAN CAN Do—Eighteen or twenty
vears ago James H. T. Ryman, of Boggs
township, while only a lad in his teens
worked in the ore mines until he managed
to save one hundred and fifty dollars. With
that amount he paid his tuition in the
Bellefonte Academy for three years. The
ensuing winter he taught a private school
in Milesburg and the next summer wens
to Missonla, Mont., and went to teaching
in the public schools for sixty dollars a
month salary.
He was there only a few years when at
the urgent solicitation of friends he ran for
oounty superintendent, and was elected.
In the meantime he invested what money
he made in mining and real estate inter-
ests and prospered accordingly. Some
eight years or more ago he was one of the
promoters and organizers of the Western
Montana National bank, of Missoula, of
which he was made cashier, a position he
still ocoupies.
He grew in prowinence as he prospered
financially and is now among the foremost
citizens of Missoula. He has always taken
a great interest in education and was one
of the foremost in urging upon she Legis-
lature of Montana to establish a University
of Montana at Missoula, which was finally
done and Mr. Ryman was made president
of the university board. Dr. Duniway
was recently elected president of the Uni-
versity and was formally inaugurated on
Monday, October 5tb, with very impres-
sive ceremonies, over which Mr. Ryman
presided.
Mr. Ryman’s career shows what a young
man can do if he has the necessary nerve
and determination, He set out to conquer
adversity and he did so and made of his life
one worthy of emulation, even though he
is yet a young man. And through it all he
has not lorgotten the home of his youth or
! his alma mater.

This is shown in the fact that when the
Academy grounds were fixed up several
years ago Mr. Ryman sent his check for
one hundred dollars to help bear the ex
pense, aod last fall he senta check for fil"
ty doliars to help pay for fixing up she
new Athletic field. If every stadent of
she Bellefonte Academy was as liberal in
contributing to its needs the long felt want
in the way of additional buildings might
soon he realized.

— About three weeks ago the farm of
the late W. W. Clark, on Marsh Creek, in
Liberty township, was sold at public sale
by W. Edgar Clark, attorney for the es-
tate. It was purchased by Frank Clark,
of Alexandria, Louisiana, one of the sons,
for $5,100, who in turn gave the farm out-
right, by deed, to his brother, J. Irvin
Clark, who bas been occupying the prop-
erty a number of years,

of the projectors both propositions offer to
she people of Bellefonte cheaper light and

carefully and grans any reasonable fran-
chise asked.

—— Monday afternoon a freight wreck at
Snow Shoe Intersection blockaded the rail-
road tracks several boars, so that both the
east and west bound passenger trains were
considerably delayed. On Tuesday morn-
ing she shiftiog engine in the Bellefonte
yard jumped the track near the tower and
before it could be stopped bad torn up
fifty or wore feet of track. It took two
hours or longer to get the engine righted
aud the track repaired.

Bic Tomato Crops.—Mre. William
Johnson, of Howard township, is the cham-
pion tomato grower in Centre county.
| Last spring she planted one and three-quar-
| ter acres in tomatoes, from which she sold
to the Howard Canning company 16.175
pounds, retailed 3,500 pounds in Belle-
fonte, made thirsy-eight gailons of catsap,
twenty gallons of ohow-chow and eight
gallons of Chili sauce. From nine hnodred
plants Joseph Herr, of the same place sold
3,800 pounds of tomatoes, or an average of
forty-five pounds to the plant.
——Hunsers in Union towaship, as well
as a few in Bellefonte, are longing to get a
shot at what they consider the ‘daddy’
wild turkey gobbler in the Alleghenies. It
has as its range from the top of the Alle.
gheny mountain down to Bash Hollow,
where it has been seen most every morning
feeding and dricking. It isa wary old
bird, however, and takes flight at the
slightest strange noise. Those who have
seen it declare the gobbler stands fally four
feet high and has a beard almost a foot in
lengsh. If such is the case he is not only
a monster bot must be as old as he is big.

~——Schad’s Corner is already giving
promise of being a very imposing place in
Bellefonte when it is completed. The
place referred to is the square on the corner
of Spring and Lamb streets, purchased
some time ago by Albert Schad from the
Hames estate. He has already put down a
concrete pavement along the entire prop-
erty on both streets and is at work on the
building of two sabstantial doable houses,
both to face on Spring street. That vacant
lot has been an eyesore in that neighbor-
hood for years but when Mr. Schad gete
his houses up and lots leveled off it will
be quite a pretty place.

~——Have you heard Miss Hovey, the
girl with the beautiful voice, sing at the
Scenic this week? If you have not you
have missed a musical treat such as you
don’t have an opportunity of enjoying very
often. Miss Hovey, whose home is in Bal-
falo, N. Y., possesses a full, rich soprano
voice of extreme wide range and is not
afraid to use it ; while her enunciation is
so distinot she can easily be heard in the
remotest corners of the house. She will
be at the Scenic tonight and tomorrow
night, and very likely all of next week. In
addition to Miss Hovey’s singing manager
T. Clayton Brown continues to hand out
every aight a big double program of the
best pictares obtainable ; and all for the
small sum of five cents.

~——That well known boniface, Peter
Meitzler, of Lock Haven, spent two days
in the Clinton county jail last week for
threatening to kill attorney George A.
Brown. When Mre, Meitzler died several
years ago she lefs her property to her grand-
daoghter, Miss Edna Dornblaser, of Phil-
ipsburg. Brown wae not only made exeon-
tor of the estate but was appointed guardian
for Miss Dornblaser until she became of
age. Recently Mr. Meiszler found fault
with BroWwn’s management of the estate
and Thursday evening went on the hunt
for him with a gun. Brown swore outa
warrant and bad him arrested and for two
days the veteran hotel keeper refused to
accept bail and remained in jail. Finally
on Saturday evening, through the inter.
vention of friends, the case was settled and
Meitzler released.
WRECK OF L. & T. RaILroAD.—The
passenger train on the Lewisharg & Tyrone
railroad, due to arrive in Bellefonte at 4:20
Tuesday afternoon, was wrecked at Centre
Hall by running into an open switeh and
colliding with a string of box cars. Con-
dantor U. H. Reamer was badly out and
scratched by being pitched head first
through the glass in a car door while the
entire train crew and a number of the pas-
sengers received severe humps and were
badiy shaken ap by being thrown against
seats, eto.
The accident ocourred at the eastern end
of the siding at Centre Hall a:..! wonld have
been far more serious only for the fact thas
the train was alieady slowing down for iss
stop at the station. As soon as engineer
Theodore Cherry saw she engine take the
open switch he closed the throttle, threw
on the air and calling to fireman Under
wood to look out jumped back on the
tender. The engine struck the freight cars
with such force as to knock off she pilot,
headlight and badly derange some of itd
mechanism. The baggage car was not dam-
aged to any extent hat the rear car was
raised from the track hy the force of the
collision and the front platform broken to
jHieces, .
Conductor Reamer bad just called out
the Centre Hall station in the rear oar and
was about to open the door to go forward
into the smoker when the collision ocourred
and he wae pitched headlong against the
door with such force that his head orashed
through the glass. Fortunately the glass
was broken all to pieces else he might have
received more serious outs. J. C, Harper,
of this place, was sitting in the front seat
of the rear car and he was throwao forward
with such force as to have the skin knock-
ed off of his right leg from the knee down,
but observing Mr. Reamer’s plight he heip-
ed several vitier passengers release bim and
carry him to the station at Centre Hall.
There an examination showed a cat on the
right temple which required seven stitches
to close, another out near the left eye and
quite a number of soratohes on the face,
while the third finger on his left hand was
knocked out of joint. He was fixed up as
well as possible and not only. brought his
train to Bellefonte but went out on the run
next morning.
A college student, William Twaddell,
of Philadelphia, in the rear car was
thrown forward against the seat and sus
tained aout on the lip from which the blood
flowed quite freely, so that be looked as if
he was hall killed. The engine was so
badly damaged another one had to be se-
cured from Sanbury to bring the train to
this place, so that it was after seven o'clock
when is reached here. Just who is respon-
sible for the open switch has not yet been
divulged but an investigation is being made
to find out where to place the blame.

FoorBaLL ToMORROW.~Lovers of foot-
ball in Bellefonte will have an opportunity
of witnessing what promises to be a very
good game tomorrow when the Bellefonte
Academy team will play the strong Wil-
liamsport High school eleven on the new
Atbletic field. The Williamsport boys
bave already beaten the Lock Haven Nor-
mal team this year so that they will come
here with a good record. The Academy
team has been beaten only once this season,
and that was last Saturday by the Indiana
Normal team hy the score of 15 to 0. But
that defeat is partially accounted for by the
fact that the Academy boys played the
strong Punxsutawney High school team
just the day previous, defeating them by
the score of 6 to 0, and were in no shape
to go in to Saturday’s game. However, that
is now history and the Academy team will
endeavor to continue its good work hy ad-
ding another victory to its good-sized string
tomorrow. Go out and see the game and
help the boys along by your presence and
financial assisiance.

———A big crowd of rooters will accom-
pany the Williamsport High school foot-
ball team to this place tomorrow in the
hope of cheering the Lumber city students
on to victory. Last Satarday the Wil.
liamsporters defeated the Lock Haven Nor-
mal team by she score of 5 to 0 and they
think they oan do the same here. That

freshmen this season. Bellefonte wants to
turn out a big orowd of rooters to enorur-
age the Academy boys.
