The young man is a native of Bellefonte, a son of the late Hogh Taylorand a brother of Col. H. 8. Taylor. He has been a member of com- pany B lor a number of years and was re- oeutly eleoted first lieutenant. He also served during the Spanish—American war and in the Philippines. We oongratulate the young man upon bis appointments. of dissatisfaction in the coogregations of the First Methodist Episcopal church of York and the First church of Tyrone over the appointment of ministers assigned them by Bishop J. W. Hamilton at the adjourn- ment of conference in Harrisburg last week, Dr. James B. Stein, who was cent back here for his fourth year with the Metho- dists of Bellefonte, has been traveferred to the pastorate of the Firss chaorch in Ty- rone and Rev. T. 8. Wilcox has been as- signed to the Bellefonte church. The entire affair is one that might be termed charoh polities (if there is any such thing) and while is was kept as quiet as possible for several days is finally leaked out and a correct statement of she facts in the case is only just to the oburch and those concerned. When the appointments were read it was found that J. Ellis Bell bad been transferred from York to Tyrone ; J. H. Daugherty from Tyrone to Harrisburg, sod T. 8. Wilcox so Tyrone. The members of the York church at once entered a vigorous protest againet the re- moval of Rev. Bell, and in sapport of their demand that be be lefs there gave as their reason that he bad wouder way some non- finished work which it was bat fair to them and him to allow him to close up. Rea- liziog the strength of their argnment the Bishop cousented to allow Mr. Bell to re- main there and assigned Rev. Wilcox to Tyrone, and then the Tyroners kicked ; not so much because they didu’s wans Rev. Wilcox as because they did want Rev. Bell. In this dilemma Bishop Hamilton voti- fied the district superintendents to bold a meeting in Huntingdon on Saturday and settle the matter some way, and the only way they found to do it was to travsfer Rev. Stein to Tyrone and send Rev. Wil- cox to Bellefonte, and their finding was sanctioned by the Bishop who, on Sunday, notified Rev. Stein of the fioal decision. Rev. Stein was loath to leave Bellefonte, because he bas just finished an unusually good work here in freeing the church of debt and bas greatly endeared himself to his congregation, who deeply regret his re- moval. As a minister and as a man Rev. Stein bas been universally liked in Belle- foute, while his family have won the love aod esteem of all. Thoagh it is like tear- ing heartstriugs to part with him the Methodist congregation have howed to the will of she higher oharoh an- thoritira and submitted to she inevitable, hoping that his lot will fall 1n pleasant places and the success of his work in Ty- rove be ample justification for the transfer. As to Rev. Wilcox, the new minister, he is not a stranger to many of the Methodists in Bellelonte. He bas always been regard- ed one of the leading ministers in the con. ference, has filled the foremost appoint ments and served two or more terms as presiding elder. That his pastorate here daring the ensuing year will be a very congenial and successful one there is no reason to doubt and we wish bim God- speed. Rev. Stein had a farewell talk with his old coogregation on Wednesday evening and is was a very affecting leave. taking. He will go to Tyrone tomorrow and preach his first sermons to his new con- gregation there on Sunday, thongh he will nos move his family to Tyrone until next week. Rev. Wilcox will be here and preach to the Bellefonte congregation on Sunday and will also move his family here next week, -—=The children want Pla-mate shoes, easy on the feet, plenty of toe room, at Yeager's. ———— AA a Trour FISHING SEASON S00N HERE.— Next Thursday morning, April 15th, will wark the opening of the tront fishing sea- son and quite naturally every man in Bellefonte and Centre comnty who basa drop of Izaak Walton's blood in his veins, (metaphorically speaking), and owns a rod and line or can beg or borrow one, will be the early bird looking for the biggess and fattest trout. Already excursions are being planned tc Fishing creek and other outlying atreams which heretolore have yielded up a fair supply of the speckled beaaties; and to this end the man that now owns an automobile is congratulating himself upon being very fortnmate indeed: albeit be stands a good chance of never reaching the coveted rendezvons because of a break down or some other natural con- trariness of the machine. Be that as it may, however, the main thing that is now giving the fishermen con- cern is whether there will be any trout to catch. In past seasons good fishermen invariably had the good pools spotted long before this time and knew just where the streams were alive with trout but this year, if the fishermen are to be believed —and nobody would doubt a fisherman's word, so few trout have been seen in any of the usu- ally well populated streams that it is the general opinion that they will be very scarce, and fortunate will be the man who succeeds in landing a mess on the opening Whether this apparent scarcity of the trout is due to the prolonged dry spell last summer and fall and the consequent low water in all the streams is a matter of con- jecture, but it is generally given as a rea- son. Bat even that should not have effect. ed such streams as Spring oreek and Fish- ing creek, and from all reports very few trous are to be seen in either one. The water in Spring oreek partioularly has been very clear for weeks and if the trout were inbabiting their usual! haunts they could be plainly seen, unless they kept under cover, but so far the number seen has been unusually small. Ol course there may be more trout in the streams than there now appear to be, and only the opening of the season will tell the story. Rev.

They made the final gathering the latter part of last week and found thai they bad just 9,600 pounds, or not qaite hall a car load. As there was no indications of getting more they shipped those and will realize about twenty-five dollare clear therefrom. Sr —————— GAA] es — ——Mrs. Mary Robinson, a oolored woman who cooks in Ed. Murray's restan- rant on Spring street, is authority for the statement that on Monday she received a oheck for eighty-five dollars from the Phil- adelphia Press for being among the first contestants in working out a ‘Roosevelt in the Jungle’ puzzle published recently by that paper. Considering the fact that there are hundreds of newspapers in the United States continually offering all kinds of prizes, from jig-saws to automobiles and most any amount in cash for answers to various puzzles Mrs. Robinson might find it a more remuuerative business using her brain in solving the same than in using ber hande cooking in a restaurand. WHILE VISITING SicK FATHER HARRY FirzoErALD'S STORE ROBBED. —Last Fri. Gay Harry E. Fitzgerald, of Colombus, Ohio, was summoned to Bellefonte on ac coant of the serious illness of his father | William Fitzgerald, and he aod his wite arrived bere on Saturday intending to stay several days, at least. Oo Sunday evening, | however, Mr. Fitzgerald, who conducts a dental supply house in Columbus, received a telegram stating that his store bad been broken into on Saturday night and gold filling and other articles estimated in value anywhere from five to seven thousand dol- lars had been stolen. At the same time Mrs. Fitzgerald received a telegram stating that ber sister bad been taken suddenly siok aod her condition was regarded as extremely critical and asking her to come home at once. The telegrams were received after the 4 44 train had left for Tyrone and Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald were in adilemma what to do until Charles Mensch agreed to take them to Tyrone in his automobile so they could catch the 11.05 train west. They lels hete immediately after supper, Mrs. Harter accompanying them and taking Will Keichline along in case anything went wrong with she machine, and the trip was one they will not soon forges. They went by way of the Bald Eagle valley and encountered mud eo deep in places that the men were compelled to get out and pash to ges the machine through and when they finally arrived in Tyrone is was only to discover that she western train had been gove twenty minutes or longer. Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald were compelled to take the trolley to Altoona where towards morning they gos a fast train for Pisisburg. With all the trouble he had getting to Tyrone Mr. Mensch was alraid to return by way of Bald Eagle valley so decided to make tbe trip home via Pennsylvania Furonce. They lefts Tyrone about mid- night and got as far as Warriosmark all right but there they got on the wrong road aod didn’t know where shey were until they arrived at Hantingdon Furnace. They then were compelled to retarn to Warriors- matk avd finally getting on the right road came home by Pennsylvania Farnace and Pive Grove Mills, arriving in Bellefonte at just four o'clock Monday morning. Of coarse Mensoh enjoys telling all abous she trip. A Goob TESTIMONAL.—The WATCHMAN bas at various times made mention of she orgauization of she Concrete Brick and Manufacturing company organized by J. C. Meyer E«q., J. C. Rowe aud others and the intention to erect a plant near the Bellefonte turnace for the purpose of manau- facturing concrete brick ous of slag. Dil- ferent samples of the brick bave been made and tested here and at State College and in every case the test was highly satisfactory to the promoters. Recently samples of she brick were sent to the Bareau of Building Inspection, of Pittsburg, and on Wednpes- day Mr. Rowe received the following very flattering letter as a testimonal of the ex- cellent quality of the brick : Mau. J. C. Rows, Concrete Brick and Mfg Co. Dear Sir : . I have tested the sample (brick which yon left with me, and I find the results to be most satisfactory. [ can cheerfully recommend it for ita durability, non-absorption qualities and cheapness. We have had quite a number of brick makes left at this office to be tested, and think I can safely say your brick is one of the best that 1t has been our pleasure to have tested. Yours very truly, Joux P. BrExxAN, (Asst. Superintendent.) It might be added shat the building of the plant for the manufacture of these brick is now as much of an assured fact as any projeot can he until the erection of the same is actually began and, because is will mean business for Bellefonte and money for the promoters, we heartily hope for them every possible success. PoLLy oF THE CircUS.—One of the best stories ever written by that celebrated aun- thoress, Margaret Mayo, is ‘‘Polly of the Circus ; and with a desire to give it's read- ers the very best in fiction as well as in news the WATCHMAN has secured the rights for the publication of the story as a serial and will begin the same next week. “Polly of the Circus’’ is a story that can be read by everybody, and will be appre- ciated by those of highly oultivated literary tastes just as much as by the boy whose general reading is confined to the dime novei.

Dramatized from George Barr MoCutcheon’s captivating novel of the same name, it is a clean cut, clever and interestiug play of love and intrigue, and abounds with sensa- tions and thrilling climaxes. It is a ro- mantic drama of the higher order that ap- peals to all classes, pleasing the most ex- acting patroon of she theatre, because there is a touch of romance tucked away in every living mortal, and one iv charmed hy its sweetness and the true ring of human na- tare in every line and situation. So in- tensely dramatio is thie play that one is electrified by each climax, and the actors and aotresses who portray the principal obaracters are given curtain call after ounr- tain call. Gertrude Perry,as the ‘‘Princess,”’ gives an intelligent and impressive inter- pretation of a difficult role, and Alfred Britton, as ‘“‘Lorry" has been commended + | for his portrayal of the daring American. The entire cast is an exceedingly strong one and embraces the names of several artists who seldom leave the Broadway theatres. The production ia personally staged by Mr. James W. Castle and is lavishly mounted ; its magnitade can be imagined when one realizes that it takes a sixty foot car to transport its scenio and property effects. Don’t mies it.

The stook- holders of the Dale Summit line are Chas. E. Wetzel, Frank Musser, George, John and William Dale, Samuel Zettle, H. E. Zimmerman, W. E. Crust, Henry Shuey and Jobn Houser and in addition they bave three renters on their live. Bellefonte Produce slarkets. Corrected weekly by R. 8, Brouse, grocer.
