The Academy team, however, bad a very good record for the year. —— ~The first mountain fire in this seo- sion this season occurred on Brush moun- tain, near Rebersburg, on Thursday of last week, bvaing caught from a spark from the engine ol a saw mill. Fortunately, how- ever, a hard rain fell in thas section before the flames had spread enoogh to doany damage and the fire was thus extinguished. — —John W. Morse, a brother-in-law of Murs. A. B. Steele, of this place, died at his home in Philipsbarg, Montana, on March 27th. His wife was Miss Charlotte Emel, who was born and raised in Bellefonte.

Hayes made a deal in automobiles by which he secured the model D. Franklin car from John Sebring, trading in his old one as part pay.

Marsh Creek is one of the best trout streams in the coun- ty and a preserve there should farnish good sport to the members of the club, rie mics ———ChatlesjR. Kurtz, who several weeks ago purchased a linotype typesetting ma- chine has it set up in the office of the Centre Democrat though as yes he has not attempt- ed so operate it. In fact be has not yet selected his style of type for use in his paper. He expects, however, to leave for New York on Sunday and will spend several weeks at the plant of the Mergen thaler company in learning all about the machine and how to operate it, so shat when he’does start work on the one in his office he will thoroughly understand it. -e —— With the advens of spring will come renewed agitation for the improvement of the various roads in Centre county; and especially for the building of those pieces of state highway for which application was made last summer but which are still banging fire in the departmens at Harris- burg. One of these is for a bigh way through, Bellefonte from the northern to the eastern boundary. It: construction will mean the putting down of one good street in the town, which might prove an objeot lesson to the borough authorities for the buildiug of more like it. PR — While Easter in Bellefonte was a bright, sunshinyg day the air was quite cold, owing to the snow atorm of Friday and the continued cold blustery weather of Satnr- day, and as a result the Easter costumes were not as plentifailly worn as would bave been had the day been warmer. With ‘all that, however, there were quite a nam- ber of women hiave enough to dely the weather and wear their new creations in both bats and costumes. Of conrse the day was celebrated with special rervices in all the churches and the ministers had the gratifiation of preaching to large congrega- sions. Special programs of Ea<ter music were also an additional attraction in most of the churches, while the Methodists had the pleasure of listening for the first time to their new pastor, Rev. T. 8B. Wilcox, and all were very much pleased with the - sermon he delivered. ———— ~The base ball season i# now in fail blast, both the big leagues baving started playing championship ball this week. The minor leagues will open shortly and this leads to the query : Will there be a Cen- tre—Clinton county league this year? Last year, from reports from a number of the towns, it was uot a paying venture, owing to the fact that the latter pars of the season most of the teams wera padded with | ‘high priced players in order to afford a bes- ~#er opportunity of winniog the pennant. Because of this the backers of some of the teams were left stranded several hundred dollars in debt ; and of course this condi- sion of affairs put a damper on the base ball ardor. It is too bad that such was ‘the case, as the teams in the Centre—Clin- tou league played good all and furnished exoellent{sport for the hundreds wino wens to see them. If a league should be formed this year the proper way to manage it would be to confine the team membership to strictly local players, when the expense could be kept down to a minimum.

Many persons are wondering why work on the foundations for the new building has not already been commenced, inasmuch as it will be located in the rear of the present building, bat the facts are that the board is not yet ready to begin work. There are various preliminary details to settle when it comes to putting ap a new thirty thous- and dollar building which must all be completed beloreband and this bas net yet been dove.

It was a good advertisement and shows that he is just as wide-awake to his own interests in such apparently little things as he is enterprising in securing pic- tures which please and the people approve of.

Hearing so much of the ultra character of the spring style of ladies hats, gotten up by three or four hat makers in some corner of Paris, and that they were so hideous and outlandish that even the French women re. fused to adopt the absurdity, I called into the millinery parlorsof Mis. G. W. Wolfe duticg her opening especially to see them, [but was disappointed. She informed me {that they were really so absurd and ridie. ulous that she refused to purchase one just fora sample. She was satisfied, she said, that the American women would never adopt the model, it was simply monstrous, Mrs. Wolfe has her parlors in her new quar. ters =o nicely arranged that she can dis play her hats, trimmings ete, without any confusion or inconvenience.
