The situation is peculiar and the discussion interesting hecause the two teams, Harvard and Pennsylvania, olaim- ing the championship, did not meet, con- sequently the only way the issue could be settled would be from the ‘‘dope’’ on the games they have played with the same seame. But an avalysis based on ‘‘dope’’ is pot worth much, since most any conclusion can be arrived at from it. For instance, if the defensive play of teams were taken as a basis State would rank higher than Cornell, the Indians or Annap- olis, becausefno opposing team scored more than twelve points against State while as many as sixteen'points were scored against the three teaws mentioned. In offense State scored more points than Harvard, Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown, Princeton or West Point and played a relatively harder sohedule than any team in the country ex- cept the Indians and Brown. Thus it might be figured out that State’s rank should be a great deal higher than the foot- ball sharps will make it, bus, after all, it matters little since no team, however good, will be permitted to detract from the hon- ors of the *‘big four’ or five, though any of the latter may deteriorate into the class of prep school elevens. The so called “‘smaller colleges’’ will not be smail col- leges long eo that with their development will come athletic teams that will make the element of uncertainty as to which is really champion greater even than it is to- day. ——Tuesday’s telegrams furnished the fact thas two of the large Slate quarries in the vicinity of Bangor closed down indefi- nitely for want of water, throwing over 200 workingmen out of employment. What a pity the election didn’s go otherwise. Mr. BRYAN could have been charged with this condition of affairs then, but as it is Prov- idence will have to take the blame until the rain comes, when you'll find every Re- publican paper at the front yelling to the people to look and see how Republican sue. cess is starting ap our industries.

The fact that at last week's fire it took almost five minutes to get one plug open, owing to its being rusted shut, is enough to warn the borough authorities that such a condition is ex. tremely dangerous, and that every fire plug in town should be tested and oiled often enough to keep them in first olass condition. As the time of a fire a delay of even a few minutes may mean the de- struction of thousands of dollars worth of property and this should not be allowed to ooour through neglect in having the fire plugs in good working order. PR. WILLIAM LAURIE, Db, D, LL D. DEaTH OF, DR WILLIAM LAURIE. — Though it was no surprise to his wany friends in this place to bear on Taerday of the death of Dr. William Laurie, at the home of his danghter, Mm. Samuel F. Eldredge, of Cape May, N. J., it was still a great shock to them, as most everyone olung to the hope that he would to a cer- tain extent recover the rohost health in which he was so generally known all bis lite. It was probably four months ago that Dr. Lanrie became ill, not with any pacticalar disease but a complication of ailments as the result of the wearing out of his magnificent physical constitution. About a month ago he went to the home of his daughter at Cape May in she hope thas the change of location and the invig- orating sea breezes would result in rebuild- ing his impoverished vitality,but it proved in vain. Hardly bad he gotten there when he had a sinking spell and bis condition gradually grew weaker and weaker. On Sunday he was slightly improved and bis friends hoped it was a change for the het- ter, hut it proved only the last feeble flicker of the flame before the spark of life was extinguished at one o'clock on Tues- day morning. Dr. Laurie was born in Wigtoushire, Scotland on August 26th, 1832, hence was 76 years, 3 months and 5 days old. He came to the United States when but twen- ty-one years of age and Jocated in Phila- delphia where he worked as a carpenter. Three years later be went back to Scotland where he was married. Returning to this country he continued working at his trade and at the same time began a course of reading on theology. Subsequently he took a course at the University of Penn- sylvania and then at she Princeton Theo: logical Seminary from where he graduated in the laster sixties. His first pastoral work was dove at Stewartville, N. J. From there he went to Pen Yan, N. Y., thence to Watkins, and in November, 1876, be came to Bellefonte aud accepted the pastor- ate of the Presbyterian oburch here as suc- cessor to Rev. W. T. Wylie. For almost thirty years, or until the last day of December, 1905, he labored most assiduously as pastor of the Bellefonte ohurch. That his work here was fruitful in a large measure is shown by the fact that when he came here a heavy debs was hang- ing over the church which he succeeded in lifting. The chapel alongside of the church was built and the church remodeled, while the parsonage was also repaired, entailing a total expenditare of from $35,000 to $40,000. When he came to Bellefonte the congregation of the church numbered 240 and when he retired from bis labors the membership was 374. Dr. Laurie was a bard worker and a pro- found student of theology. Preaching was not a mere calling with him, bot work to which he devoted ail his energy, asit was conscientiously a work of love in thus labor- ing in the cause of his Master. That his marked ability was also recog- nized by others is shown in the fact that in 1886 Lafayette College conferred upon him the degree of Dootor of Divinity. In 1897 he was elected moderator of the Synod of Pernsylvania aud presided over its seseions at Wheeling, W. Va., and in 1898 he was honored with the degree of Doctor of Laws by the Western University of Pennsylvania. Following his resignation as pastor of the Bellefonte church he served the charge made np of Mileshurg, Howard and Jack- sonville, pieaching at those piaces until some six weeks ago when his health be- came so bad he was compelled to desist from his labors, As is nataral with a man of Scottish descent Dr. Laarie was a man of strong opinions and beliefs and during his long residence in Bellefonte and his prom- inenoe before the public he bad his various controversies, but through his entire life he displayed a sincerity of heart and pur- pose that always won for him the admira- tion and esteem of all—even those who differed with bim in argument and precept. That his lite in Bellefonte was not lived in vain can be attested by hundreds of peo- ple, and especiaily by many whom be be- friended in his own quiet and heartfelt way. Dr. Laurie was twice married. His fires wife was Miss Martha Bailiff, of Scotland. Four children were the result of this union, namely : Mary, widow of the late with the Laurie family ; William and James both dead, and John T., of Tyrone. His first wile died when the family lived at Stewartsville, N. J., and at Geneva, N. Y., be was married to Miss Alice Ives, who survives with two children, Mrs. Samuel Eldredge, of Cape May, N.J., and Miss Berths, at home. One. brother, 8. Durbin{Gray and who makes her bome J. Malcolm Laurie, survive. The body was brought home oo Wednes- day evening and taken to bis late home on Spring street and the faveral was beld yee- terday afternoon. The remains were taken to the Presbyterian church at one o'clock in the afternoon where they lay in state until $wo o'clock, the hourof the funeral. Rev. R. M. Campbell, of Penn- sylvavia Furnace, a warm personal friend of the deceased, had charge of the services. Barisal was made in the Union cemetery. of Winburne, also TRIBUTE 70 REV. LAURIE, D. D, A great, good man has been taken to his eternal resting place ! His religion, was of the ortho, dor, old school type. He was a St. Paul in his manner and convictions. His life and faith were built upon the rock, that “the gates of hell shai! not prevail against it.” His sermons were prac. tical, scriptural, logical, profound and full of the spirit of Christ. So much in touch was he with | | his subject that he seldom delivered a sermon that he did pot brush away trickling tears! Es. pecially when he referred tothe great love of Christ for sinful man. He believed, and preached that the Salvation that was necessary to save the old hardened sinner, was just as necessary, to save the young one,and to both he appealed, and ap- plied the fundamental truths of the bible alike. In this doctrine he was sustained, as the Seript- ures plainly teach, that “God is no respector of persons,” Acts 10:34. The young sinner is too apt to think that he should have special privi- leges, that the pleasures of the world were first, his to enjoy ; then at a more convenient season he would give these up for Christ. God says “But Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His right, eousness, and all these things shall be added unio you." Dr. Laurie preached the same gospel to his best friend that he would to an enemy. The writer of this was for many years a member of his church and a constant attendant, and all of his sermons were highly appreciated. He some- times said things that I did vot think as he did about ; they were not upon scripture truths; upon them we were in harmony. For seven years our friendship unfortunately was broken. Nota word passed between us during all of that time— the silence was my fault. I always during that time attended church and fully enjoyed and re- ceived great comfort from his excellent sermons. I had not a thought of unkindness or ill-feeling toward him. Seven years after we both incidentally were on a train, he going to preach at Lafayette College snd also in New York city, and I going to Wil- liamsport. He was seated alone, on the opposite side of the aisle from me. I concluded to attempt breaking our long silence and went to him ofter- ing him my hand. He cordislly extended his and asked me to sit down beside him which I did, and we freely conversed, without any reference to our past silence, about matters of interest to both of us. He was a wonderful man to seek, and practice useful maxims and practical truths. I remem- ber, when travelling together at another time, I repeated the following and he committed it : “Five things, observe with care, Of whom you Speak, To whom you Speak, And how, and when, and where.” Also another: “The sandal tree, perfumes when new, The axe that laid it low, Let those who hope to be forgiven Forgive and bless their foe." Dr. Laurie was a kind-hearted man, calling upon the poor and needy, giving of his own earn. ings to any that he found out was in want, and giving more counsel and comfort to them, wheth- er they were of his faith or not. This I know of my own knowledge in many instances, He did not publish it himself. Today he is, without a doubt, in my mind, in Giury with the redeemed ones, wearing the crown of righteousness.

Coburn, which occurred at his home on wvorth Allegheny street at six o'clock on Tuesday evening, Bellefonte and Centre county bave lost one of their best known and most prominent citizens. He had been in failing health for a year or longer. Abont six months ago he suffered a slight stroke of paralysis and the result was a greater weakening of his already en- feebled system. He recovered sufficiently to be out and around and up until ahouta month ago attended to his business as president of the First National bapk. Since that time, bowever, he has been con- fined to the house and as the result of a complication of ailments gradually grew weaker and weaker until the end came at the time above named after a period of twenty-four hour’s unconsciousness, Col. James Potter Coborn was born at Aaronshurg, shis county, July 11th, 1831, hence was 77 years, 4 months and 21 daye old. His father was Dr. Charles Coburn and his ancestors date back to 1620, when bie forefathers emigrated from England and settled in Connectiont, where his father was born. Dr. Coburn came to Centre county when a yonog man and allied bim- sell with the first families of this section by marrying Miss Peggy C. Potter, a daughter of Gen. James Potter, ol Potter township. After several years of married life she died without issue and two years later the doctor married Miss Margaret Huston, mother of the subject of this sketch. Mr. Coburn attended the common schools of his day and later attended higher sohoole at Owego, N. Y., Harrisburg and Harte- ville. After preparing for Yale college be was compelled to forego taking a course on account of the illness of his parents. In the early fifties he came to Bellefonte and went to work as olerk in a store. At the same time he began reading law in the office of Hon. Andrew G. Curtin and Edmund Blanchard and for eight years he pursued his studies until the year 1860 when he was admitted to practice at the Centre county bar. Though he never en- gaged very actively in the practice of his profession his business ability and keen judgment of human bature made him a valuable adviser and counsellor. The build- ing of the Lewisburg and Tyrone railraad was mainly due to the untiring efforts of Col. Coburn, who for thirty years labored unceasingly to interest capital and was finally successful. Most of bis life was spent at the family home as Coburn from where be directed the various business interests with whioh he was connected. On July 1st, 1896, be was elected president of she First National bauk of Bellefonte and moved to this place, though he still kept his house open at Aaronsburg, where he epent many of his Sundays. In politics he was a Republican of the most pronounced type and thirty- five or more years ago was a candidate for the Legislature, but was defeated. He always took a very prominent part in the work of his party and for two score years was always a covspicaous figure in every county convention. He at various times represented Centre county in Republican state conventions and was onoe or twice delegate to the national conventions. He was a member of the Presbyterian cburch and loyal to its teachings and doctrines. Asa man and peighbor he was always kind and considerate of his fellow men. Io his business affairs he was scrupulously just and honest. He was successful in every business undertaking he ever made, mainly through bis own indomitable will and remarkable business acumen. In 1860 he was united in marriage to Miss Jane E. Huston,a daughter of Thomas Huston, of Nistany valley. They had no children, and his only immediate survivors are his wife and one sister, Mrs. Morgan F. Medlar, of Allentown. The funeral will be held from his late residence on north Allegheny street at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, interment to be made in the Union cemetery. | | BRATTON.—Mrs. Frances A. Bratton, wife of Perry M. Bratton, of Bradford, and a sister of Mrs. Anua Ayers, ofl Philips- burg, died at her home in the former place on Wednesday of last week of apoplexy, aged fifty-four years.

Ske is survived by a son and daughter, two sisters and a broth- er. | | | BAILEY.—Mr. and Mrs. John H. Bailey of Pine Grove Mills, are almost heart- broken over the death of sheir only child, John Krebs Bailey, aged ten months, who died yesterday morning after five day’s ill- ness with inflammation of the howels.

While engaged in the sport Mary Giliski, a young Slavish girl whose parents live near the Pleasant View school house, was wounded by a pent shot strik- ing her a glancing blow on the forehead and cutting a gash about three-gnarters of an inch in length. The boys were arrested the same afternoon and put to jail. Friday afternoon they were given a hear- ing before justice of the peace John M. Keichline. The boys admisted that they bad done some shooting but only at musk- rats in the canal. In their behall it was proven that the distance from where the boys were to where the girl was shot was three hundred yards,and it was maintained that a shot the size the boys used woanld not carry that far. It wae also proven that at aboas the same time the boys fired the shot which supposedly struck she girl another shot had been fired across the oreek. After hearing the evidence the justice held them for trial at court. The boys were compelled to spend Friday night in jail and on Saturday succeeded in giv- ing bail for their appearance at court. ans— A — Don's miss the Big Sacrifice Sale of Overcoats at The Faable Store. -o- Live DEER INVADES BALONA.—Resi- dents of Salona, Clinton county, were treated to considerable excitement on San- day when a live deer was chased into the town by dogs and was captured alive in she yard of W. A. Soyder. Thedeer was first driven from the mountain into the upper axe factory dam where it remained in the water a long time or until some men chased the dogs away. It then started for the mountain but several other dogs taking up the trail the deer ran through a corn field and into the public school grounds at Salona. From there it jumped into the yard of W. L. Miller and then into Soy- der’s yard, where it was thrown to the ground in an attempt to jump a high wire fence. Several boys captured the deer, which was too exhausted to resist, and took it to Harry Ricker’s barn where they were going to keep it in a box stall until it regained ite strength, but hardly bad they gotten it into the stall until it dropped over dead. The deer, which was a doe and weighed 125 pounds, had evidently been run to death by the dogs which were prob- ably chasing it all day. ———— ee SHor Dog, PAID FINE.—On November 16th, the first day of the deer bunting sea- son, a big doe was killed by a party of hunters at Six Mile Run, between Philips- burg and Port Matilda. Members of the state constabulary stationed at Philipsburg began an investigation and finally sucoeed- ed in tracing the shooting to some one con nected with a hunting party from Port Matilda. On Wednesday of last week William Cowher, of that place, was arrest. ed on supsicion of being the man and taken before "Squire Warlel, at Philipsburg. At the hearing the fact was developed that the shooting of the doe was done by Porter Woodring, another member of the party, aod that as soon as be discovered that the animal was a doe he went be- fore a justice of the peace at Port Matilda and, pleading guilty to tke offense, paid a fine of fifsy dollars, thus saving the fifty dollars which would have gone to the in- former and probably a big bill of costs. Under the circumstances there was nothing to do but discharge Cowher. roe MAY BecoME RECTOR OF CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY. —Rev. Monsignor Nevin F.

Prize CHICKENS KILLED.—Some un- known animals, presumably dogs, killed six- teen prize chickens and a turkey belonging to H. M. Bidwell, on south Allegheny street, last Friday night. The fowls rep- resented his entire flock with the excep- tion of one rooster which got eway and was found on a nearby tree in the morning. That the raid on Mr. Bidwell’s hencoop was not the work of weasels or minks is evidenced by the fact that the animals got into the coop by breaking through the wire fence enclosing the yard. A number of the chickens were almost torn to pieces and some of them carried some distance from the coop. The same night five chickens belonging to Mrs. Neal Martin, a neighbor of Mr. Bidwell, were alsokilled. A sharp lookout is now being maintained in shat neighborhood and if any suspicious acting dogs are discovered they will stand little ohance of dying a natural death. ms —Don’t miss the Big Sacrifice Sale of Overcoats at The Fauble Store. e—— = Big BARN BUrNED.—The large barn be- longing to Miss Mary Potter, on the old Potter homestead near Centre Hall, was entirely destroyed by fire last Saturday afternoon.
