Meehan, state fish commissioner, with Hon. A. R. Whis- taker, of Phoenixville, a member of the hoard of fish commissioners, aud she saper- intendents of the eight hatoheries in the State, namsly : William Baller, of Corry; A. G. Baller, of Union Cisy; N. R. Baller, of Wayne; W. H. Sopflord, of Conneans Lake; P. H. Hartman,of Erie; J. R. Baok- baas, of Philadelphia; W. H. Hus, of Spruce Creek, and H. M. Baller, of the Bellefoate hatohery, were ia Bellefonte lass Friday afternoon on a trip of inspection of the varions hatoheries foc she parpie of asoertainiog juss how many trous fry they would bave for distribution this spring. All the hatcheries were foand in good condition and the batoh of trout fry has been a very good one. From very careful estimates the commission figares is will have for distribation a total of 3,200 cans, or 7,300,000 trout fry. These will be sap- plied by tour hatoheriae,as follows : Corry; 3,500,000; Bellefonte, 2 300,000; Wayne, 1,000,000 aad Sprace Creek, 500,000. From the above it will be seen shat the oatpus from the Bellefonte hatchery is now nexs $0 the largess of any hatchery in the State, Corry being the only one to exceed it. The visitors were very pleased to find everythiog about the Bellefonte hatchery in excellent condition. The hatchery has now heen in existence long enough that the stock of breeders is becoming too large and is is the intention of Mr. Meehan to reduce it somewhat hy weeding out the sarplas of bucks as well as some of the older of the female trous. Jast what dis position will be made of the same has not yet been definitely decided upon, bus is mighs he well worth she while of the dis. ciples of Izaak Walton in this section to in- terest themselves in having the same liber- ated in Centre county streams. Every fisherman knows what the result would be Belore coming to Bellefonte Mr, Masha and the superintendents had a basines: meeting in Harrishueg on Tharsday night, and after the basiness pari was over Mr. Meehan entertained his gaests at a supper. Afier the inner man had been satisfied the guests evened up matters hy presenting Mr. Meehan with a handsome gold watch and chain. > AMERICAN LIME AND Sroxg CoM- PANY'S WATER SyYsTEM. —Several months ago we made mention of the fact thas the American Lime and Stone company were then at work bailding a private water sys- tem for supplying water forall purposes to their varions plants. Haviog seonred the water rights iu she gap north of Coleville as well as land on whioh to consiruct a dam and build a reservior they began work on same on October first and had the sys- tem completed aud ready for the tarning in of the water by January first. This incladed she building of a good sized dam and a reservoir 30x80 feet and 30 feet deep, with a capacity of one million gallons, as well a3 the laying of a four iuch feed pipe from the dam to the reservoir and a four inch pipe fzom the reservoir to their differ- ent quarries, even aoross to Armor’s Gap, or about two miles of pipe all told. They have beeu using the water from this system for several weeks and find that the supply will be great enoughfor all their uses, while their plantis located so high np on the mountain that alter being piped through hollows and ‘over hills to Armor's Gap they still have sixty poands pressure, or enough so afford good fire pro- tection, if needed. In addition, it is sofs, mountain water aud very muaoh besser for boiler nses than the hard limestone water they bad heretofore heen using. -oe Does ADVERTISING PAY ?—The above is a question which should be considered bv every merchant in Bellefonte and, if he oonsolted his own interest, he would give it a trial. As proof that it does we can cite the following instance right here in Belle- fonte. Last week F. E. Naginey, the tarni- ture dealer, placed an advertisement in the WartcuMan as well as other Bellefonte papers offering $11.50 felt mattresses for $8 50 ; and stating thas he had & special consignment of one handred of them for sale. Up to Monday evening, or within three business days from the appearance of his advertisements, he bad =old jast thirty- #ix mattresses, or at the reduced price of $8.50, jost $306 worth, ail for an expendi- tare of less than twenty dollars for ad- vertising. Can there he any more telling affirmative answer to the above question than this ? meses AA LiTTLE FIRE AT STATE CoLLEGE. —Mon- day morping the roof nn the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity house at State College cacght fire, supposedly from a defective flue, and before she flames could he ex- tinguished the rool wae about all burned off the building. Through the prompt work of the Alpha fire company as well as the stadents themselves the personal be- longings of the members of the fraternity were gotten out without being greatly damaged and the bhailding was saved from total destruction. Tne loss will possibly reach one thousand dollars, mostly cover- ed by insurance. ss nc AY ——Since his sojourn in the south John I. Olewine is getting along very well though so far he is nds much impressed with the place as a summer resort. He lett Bellefonte an Monday of lass week and arrived in Ashville, N. C., the next day, and by a peonliar happening of nature that was the coldest day of the winter in that place up until that time. But that was not the record for on Sunday morning the thermometer went down to swo degrees below zero. Of course Ashville is located in the monntains of North Carolina and patarally the atmosphere is considerably rarer there than it is here ; and then it is not always as cold ae it was Sunday morning. ~Landis Gerberich, a native of Centre county and a brosher ef C.

February 26sh aod 27sh. A number of instructors from other parts of the State will be present to join with the farmers of this locality in the disonssion of topics relative to agrionltare.

K. Fickes in Tyrone, to take a short drive, bat failed to return. Several days later the buggy was recovered from a farmer at Gatesburg, this county, to whom Nesbit bad sold is for a small amount, and the horse was recovered near State College, but the young man entirely disappeared. No trace of him could be obtained until last week when it was learned he was in Johnstown and he was at onoe arrested and taken to Blair county where he will likely have to stand trial for horse stealing and perhaps face two Centre county farmers for swindling them in selling what did not belong to him. TRAGEDY AT Stare COLLEGE.—The student body as well asthe citizens of State College have a rare treat in store for them in the booking of a capable company of actors from the Ben Greet school which will give two performances in that place on Satarday, February 27th. The com- pany which will appear as the College has already attained inter-national fame in their renderings of Shakespearean plays. They aim to play rue to life and in order to give the piece natural settiogs wher. ever possible the play is given oat of doors when a suitable location can be fonnd. The college campus affords one of the bess spots possible for a natural stage setting and consequently the afternoon performance will be given on the campus, weather per- mitting, when the world famed play, ‘*Hawles,” will be given. In the evening a second performance, ‘‘Macbeth,” will be given in the aoditorium, for which the company carries its own special scenery. Everybody in Bellefonte should avail themselves of this opportunity to sees company of higholass artists in their rendering of Shakespeare. They are juss what they are represented $0 be in every respect, and you ean take oar word for it they are not a “Jerome K. Jerome” aggre- gation. If enough Bellelonters] desire to go up and see these two plays special trains will be run over the Bellefonte Cen- tral railroad $o suit she convenience of the orowd. In order to insure getting the trains all those desiring to go should leave their names as this office or band them personally to Geo. R. Meek.

ER ——A traveling man who spent Taesday in Bellefonte told the writer that he saw less evidence of the recent business de- pression in Bellefonte than he found in any other towa or city in the entire State. That be did more business here in three hours than he had been able todo ina towu the size of Bellefonte in a whole day. Theabove statement may be all right so far as the gentleman in question, and his business in particular may be concerned, but if he were to live here from day to day and month to month he could not help bat be impressed with the faot that times are not as flourishing here as they have been for some years past. And yes, on the other hand, Bellefonte never feels bard times to that extent that is experienced in towns entirely dependent on industries of one kind or another for the support of their people. And as an evidence shat the busi. ness men of the town have faith in its fa- ture is shown in the fact that there are more new houses being pus up this winter shan there have been for a number of years ; and at thas the number isnot very large. *de ——Emil Roth was this week appointed health officer for the Spring and Benner townships distrios.
