While the attendance of young women has not, by any means, paralielled by that of young men, last Friday certainly marked ao achievement in this comparable to the strides wken in other directions. Two years ago this fall the State Federa- tion of Pennsylvania women held a session at State, as a result of which $25,000 was secared from the Legislature that year, which money has built an addition to the Womans Building and inaugurated several attractive courses specially feminine. Since the interest and perseverauce of one wom- an has, iu two years, tripled the enroll- ment of girls aud added $25,000 to main- tenance, by progressive caloulation the concerted co-operation of many women throughout she State will in ten vears effect such radical changes that this day will indeed have marked the heginning of an Era for Women at State. Thos may Friday, October 16th, be classed as dedicatory, commemorative and commencement, The morning was occupied in an inspec- tion of the dairy, bacteriological laboratory, poultry yards, and a fine exhibit of many varieties of apples, nearly all of which were grown in Centre county. At the dairy ice oream was served. The guides and ushers were selected from among the women students and wore the academio costume. Each olab belonging to the State Feder- ation of women was iovited to send a delegate. Not many of the latter pre- sented themselves, but the members of the State College Club and ladies of the | faculty to the number of one bundred and twenty-five were entertained at the dainty luncheon which was served at 12:00 noon in the new building, where were on exhibi- tion specimens of students work in cooking and sewing. At two o'clock, an enthusiastic audience, typical of college and countryside life, dis- tinguished in character, gathered in the large Schwab anditorinm, Miss Lovejoy, Dean of Women and pre- siding officer of the day, introduced each speaker, the first of whom, after the wel- coming address of President Sparks, wae Mrs. Auvpa C. M. Tillinghast, chairwoman of she Northwestern Federation committee on Domestic Science Scholarship, which scholarship it is hoped will soon be estab- lished in the Home Economics conrse. The subject of her paper was ‘‘The Place of Domestic Seience in the Amelioration of Mankind.” It was well written and olear- ly and forcibly delivered. Mrs. Tilling- bast was followed by Miss Mira Lloyd Dock, a vice president of The Pennsyl- vania State Federation of Women, a most indefatigable club woman who has perform- ed such splendid work in forestry and oivies. Miss Dock’s address, ‘‘Miss Mo- Knight and The Pennsylvania State College,” was not only an enlogy of Miss McKnight bas gave fall credit to all who had co operated with her in this work for women at State College, one of whom was our late distinguished and revered presi- dent George W. Atherton. The program was closed by the address of Mrs. Sarah Tyson Rorer on ‘‘Educa- tional Value of Domestic Soience.’’ Mrs. Rorer, personally by reputation is so well known as to have been perhaps the most interesting figure of the day. Leoturer, writer, demonstrator, of necessity a wage earner for thirty two years, her remarks were based on an experience common to few women acd as such are apt to carry convic- tion. She is one of two surviving mewm- bers of the first class in Domestic Science organized in 1878 and ker two first years of apprenticeship were spent under Mrs, Eliza Tarner, “The Guild Mother” in Philadelphia. No eight hour-a-day sys- tem was then in vogue. Pupils in this class washed, scrubbed, cooked from six a. m. until ten p. m., many times closing the day by oarrying four gallons of hot soup many blocks to one of the distriot stations in the hope of ‘‘helping some poor soul.” For this labor they received four dollars per week aud boarded themselves. The menace to health and developmeat of physical vigor owing to ignorance of principles underlying the science of cook- ing, she regards as sufficient necessity for wide spread establishment and support of schools in Domestic Science and Home Economica and she closed her address by hoping that Pennsylvania would realize shis in as striking a manner as has Illinois. — OLD ProPLE'S DaY.—"Old Folk’s’ day will be observed in she Methodist Episcopal church next Sunday. In the morning the pastor will preach on the theme ‘‘The Crown of Old Age” and in the evening on “The Land Marks of the Fathers.” The old hymns of the church will be used and the decorations will suggest the days of our fathers.

Last week his knee became so sore that his leg became stiff and he consulted a phy- sician who probed for any patt of the thorn or foreign matter that might have remain- ed in the wound but was unable to find anything, and it is evident thas if any por- tion of the thorn remained in the wound it has probably worked its way under the knee cap.

Since that the engineers have invaded Cen- tre coanty aud during the past week or ten days bave bad their headquarters at Stormstown and bave been making surveys in Halfmoon and Buffalo Run valleys. While not at all effasive io their decla- rations ae to the purpose of their work the fact has been fully established that they are making a full and final survey of the route for that proposed air line railroad from Chicago to New York projected aud sprung on the public swo years ago by Jo- seph T, Ramsey Jr., late president of the Wabash railroad, and which at she time caused considerable stir and comment in railroad circles. Though very little bas been heard hereabouts of the Ramsey road it is an alleged fact in railroad circles that several hundred miles of the western end of the road have already been provided for» aod for this reason there is a belie! that the 10ad will eventually be built. The present corps of engineers bas been out on the sarvey over a year, having start- ed from Chicago in September, 1907. They are in charge of a sou of Mr. Ramsey, the projector of the enterprise. Centre counn- tian« are especially interested in this be. cause of she fact that if built the road will traverse the county from the western to the eastern end. To encompass the Allegheny mountains the original plan provides for a number of tannels, the last of whioh will be from the neighborhood of Houtzdale to the Bald Eagle valley, coming out in the vicinity of Dix. This tunnel will be be- tween two and three miles long. The sur- vey is then east through the Warrioramark valley into Halfmoon. During the past ten days, since the en- gineers have been in this county they bave made three surveys. One was through Stermstown and down tbe Buffalo Run valley as far as Waddle, the idea being to cross through the Barrens so as to strike State College on the eurvey through Penns valley. Another route was via Stormse town and throagh the Barrens by the way of Red Bank, but now both these surveys bave heen given up and the engineers are following very clusely the line of the old survey which was through Loveville and Gatesburg, across the Barrens into upper Peousvalley in the vicinity of the White Hall road and by way of Pine Grove Mills down the valley, keeping to the Tussey mountain side, While shis road, if built, would not ma- terially help Bellefonte it might enhance the valae of property in those sections of the county through whioh it passed. In any event it would meau close connection with the shortest and most direot line from the Windy city to the great metropolis. aes A WRECK ON BELLEFONTE CENTRAL.— The train ou the Bellefonte Central rail- road was wrecked on Saturday afternoon at Johnson's fill about two miles beyond State College and every passenger on the train was bart more or less, three of them being injured to that extent that they were brought to the Bellefonte hospital. The three are Miss Sadie Dannley, an operator in the Commercial telephone exchange at State College, who had her left arm wrist fractured badly bruised breast and a num- ber of contusions on the face and body. Her sister, Miss Susan Dannley. of Pine Grove Mills, received a bad cat on the head and a blow on the left eye so that lor a time it was feared the sight was destroyed. The other person brought to the hospital was James Moffat, of Stone valley. He bad a badly lacerated head and face and was suffering from shook, although his condition at no time was considered dangerous.’ Among the others injured but not brought to the hospital were Miss Vida Sunday, arm brok- en; Mrs. Emory Jobuson, ankle sprained, and Mrs. William Collins, hip hurt and other injuries. The wreck occurred shortly after three o'clock in the afternoon. The train was on its through trip to Pine Grove Mills, and consisted of the engine, two freight oars and the passenger coach in which there were about a dozen passengers. At John- son’s fill the rails spread and the wreck was the result. The engine and both freight cars passed over in safety but the passenger coach was thrown from the rails and leaving the track toppled over thc bank alighting bottom side up. The car was crashed and every one of the dozen or more passengers injured, though with the exception of those mentioned above their injaries were only slighs, consisting of a few cute and bruises. Immediately after the accident ocoarred some of the trainmen made their way to State College and telephoned to this place and a special was made up and sens to the scene of the wreok. In the meantime Drs. Glenn and Robinson, of State College, had gone to the wreok and attended to the n- jured and when the special train arrived accompanied the Misses Dannley and Mr. Moffat to this place and saw them safe in the hospital. A new train was made up and sent to the College about six o'clock to bring the regular passengers and delegates of the Young Men’s Christian Association, who were on a trip to the College that day, to Bellefonte. They arrived here about 7.45 o'clock without any further adventure. >to KiLLep AT.

FARMERS' WEEK AT STATE COLLEGE. — The school of agriculture in The Pennsyl- vania State College offered a program for Farmers’ Week last winter that attracted handreds of farmers from one-half the coun- ties of the State.

Noted specialists from many Statesiwill as- sist the faculty of the school of agricaltore in making the coming meeting the greatest in the history of the State’s agriculture. The attendance now promises tojbe so large thas it is necessary to schedule four lectures jor the same hour, in order thas the visitors may he accommodated. The arrangement will be such that u specialist way seleot lectures of direct interest to himself throughout each day of the week. The program will be read y for distribution about November 15¢h.

At the time the proprietors stated thas their loss was about a dozen suits, several! sweaters, some shirts and men’s socks. On Friday of last week they recovered all the stolen goods and were themselves surprised to learn that she amount stolen was almost double what they bad figured on. The goods were found on Tuesday after- noon of last week by Jawes Kellerman, hidden in the culvert under the Nittany Valley railroad near the Gatesourg ore bank. Kellerman was walking along the railroad when be noticed a man’s coat ly- ing in the end of the culvert. He began to investigate and was very much surprised to see a bulky objeos sticking in the oul- vert. He pulled it out and found it to be a big burlap bag filled ‘with clothing. A second burlap hag was discovered and a big bundle tied in heavy wrapping paper, in all almost a small wagon load of stuff, Mr. Kellerman at once concluded thas the clothing was that which had been stol- en from the Manafactarer’s Outlet Cloth- ing company, and replacing it in the cal- vert notified sheriff Henry Kline of his find. The sheriff went out and the cloth- ing was taken out. It was all wet and practically ruined by lying in water, with which the culvert bad been filled by the rain of the Saturday night previons. Fri- day morning the owners were notified and they sent out and got the goods, though owing to their ruived condition their loss is about as great as if they bad not recov- ered the clothing. ; Naturally they would sooner bave had tue robbers apprehended, but so far their identity is as'muoch a mystery as ever. The big burlap bags in which the clothing was found are the kind used by farmers and quite a quantity of ohafl was found in each bag, evidence that they must have been used around a barn somewhere before be- ing used to carry away the clothing. From the amount stolen it is evident 'that the thieves must have carted’ the goods away in a wagon, and doubtless hid them in the culvert expeoting to get them some time in the future. nr WiLp TURKEYS AND BUNNIES. —Centre county hunters met with fair lock last Thursday, the opening day of the wild tar- key and rabbitseason. Oat in the mocun- tains back of Unionville seven wild turkeys were shot on Thursday and Friday, one of which was secured by John Nighthars, of this place. It was a ten pound hen apd Jobn was just as proud of it as if it had been that ‘‘daddy’ gobbler that holds forth in that section. Probably the most surprised young man and “‘stuck-up’’ bunter who was out in the woods on Thursday was Milan Walker. He was up in the vicinity of Point McCoy. hunting squirrel and having driven one into a bole in a hollow tree sat down to await its reappearance. While sitting there watohiog for the squirrel a big wild turkey gobbler came sailing through the woods and alighted on the ground only a short distance from him so that he had no trouble killing the bird, which proved to be a twenty-pounder. Of course he quit wateh- ing for the sqairrel at once and hastened bome with his prize. Joe Thal got one that weighed sixteen pounds and there were seven shot by the Dukemans and oth- er hunters about Curtiuve Works, The slaughter of rabbits was not as greaé as on opening days in former years. Ed- ward Gillen and Charles Anderson were probably the two most successful Belle- fonte hunters. They came in with twelve rabbits between them, bat the majority of the hunters gos but one or two. Is is the general belief that the weather is yet too warm for good rabbit bunting. Bellefonte Produce Markets. Corrected weekly by Sechier & Co.
