FoR DistriBUTION.~—W. E. 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

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.

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 ?

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.

——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.

—=—On the sixth of last July a young
man who gave the name of John Nesbit
secured a horse and buggy from the livery
stable of F. 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. It isthe
chance of a lifetime to see a good play
without going to New York or some other
large city.

——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.
