The game will be called as three o'clock and will undoubted. ly be a contest worth seeing. The price of admission will be only twenty-five cents and the game should be well patronized because the Academy boys play good ball and deserve to be ecoursged and then they need the money. i ToMAaro PLANTS BY THE MILLION.— Mrs. William B. Johnson, of Howard, bas between two and three million young to- mato plante that she don’t know what to do with, nor how to dispose of them so that she may not soffer too much loss for the work and care she bas already ex- pended in planting and caring for them. When the Howard cannery was started it offered a good market for all kinds of vege- tables and produce and farmers as well as lot owners in and around Howard raised tomatoes, sweet corn, pumpkins, and everything shey could. This quite natural- ly created a demand for eatly tomato piants and with an eye to business Mrs. Johnson erected a green honse and went into the business of growing tomato plants, and each spring supplied the entire peighbor- hood at reasonable prices, but enough to make it a profitable business for her. This spring she planted the usual space in her bot beds allotted to tomatoes with the re- salt shat she has a orop of over two mil- lion thriving plants. Of this number from filteen to twenty thousand have been transplanted and are sturdy enough to be put out in the garden as soon as the weath- er will permit. Bus her visions of a for- tune this year have been dispelled by the recent announcement of the cannery com- pavy that they will not rao this year, and hence will not be able to use the larmer’s produce ; and consequently the farmers will nos need Mrs. Johnson's tomato plants. > Tug THEsPIANS.—In their musical me- lange, *‘Popocaterpillar VII,"’—The Thes- pians, of State College, gave the hest pro- duction in the opera house lass Thursday evening they have given in the twelve years of their existence. The plot was light enongh that the piece wae not overburdened with monotonous dialogue but afforded plenty of opportanity for the tanefal melody of the namerous musical numbers interpolated into she play as well as the many graceful dances by the leading char- acters and chorus. As the King ‘‘Dick” Childs was illimitahle in his deliveations of the old Aztec, while ‘‘Bob’ Armstrong made a bewitching king's daughter. Arm- strong’s singing was also a feature. “Tom”! Piolet and “*Hal’”’ Foster made two ideal ventursome Americans while Henry wore his judicial ermine as prime minister with all the sedateness of a Supreme court judge. The chorus was fourteen stroog—seven of the students wearing the costumes of chorus girls ; in fact the costumes did not end with frills and flounces, tight lacing and French heeled shoes, but was carried out even to the bewitching graces of the old-timer on the stage, while their sioging and dancing would put to shame many of the supposed | number one choruses of well known theat- rical troupes. And commensurate with the young men on the stage was the saperb playing of the college orchestra in the box, ander the leadership of Mr. Allport, of Philipsburg. — GREAT DOINGS AT STATE To DAY. —The Pennsylvania inter-scholastio track meet will be held at State College to-day and the occasion will be made » memorable one since it will be the formal dedication of the splendid new athietio field.

Admission to the track events will be 25 cents, to the baseball game 25 cents. The Bellefonte Academy is sending a track team to participate in the events and in order to make it possible for Bellefont- ers to get there the Bellefonte Central has wade the very low rate of 50ots. for the round trip from Bellefonte and will hold the evening train at State College until the base-ball game is conoluded. —————— AU A ———— A TreEAT POR Music LoveRs.—Musio lovers of Bellefonte and vicinity will have an opportunity next Wedoesday evening, May 12th, which rarely comes. On that evening Miss Margery Knowles, Dr. Lee B. Woodoook and Mr. Geo. B. Brandon will appear at the court house in a benefit for St. Joba's Protestant Episcopal church. Miss Knowles, while not strictly a Bellefonte girl, is almost claimed by us by reason of ber frequent visits with her cousin, Mrs. Florence F. Dale, during vacations. She is recognized as the possessor of one of the finest contralto voices in the country and is a protege of Mme. Eames. Dr. Wood- cook needs no introduction to Bellefonte. The only thing which prevents grand opera from claiming him is his devotion to his profession. Mr. Brandom likewise is too well known to be specially introdaced. He is the leader of the Scranton orchestra, and recognized as one of the leading pianists of the country. These three stars bave vol- unteered their services ont of their devo- tion to Bellefonte and you cannot afford to miss hearing them. : —————— A ————— New CoMpANY OpENs OFFicEs.—The men who are interested in the organization of the Pennsylvania Concrete and Manu- facturing company bave opened up offices in the Eagle block, in the rooms formerly occupied by the late Thomas J.

He is a talented pulpit orator and will preach bis first sermon in she Milesborg church this coming Sunday and in the Blanchard charch on Sunday, May 16th. As these congregations have been without a regular pastor for six months the ac- ceptavce of the pastorate by Rev. Eldridge is very gratifying to the members of both congregations. ————— ——Kuigely & Rhoads and Lewis Wal- lace, who last week were awarded the con- tract for digging out and putting down the concrete foundations for the mew sobool building in the North ward, began work on Monday morning with a good force of men. Cousidering she fact that they will bave only four weeks in which to do the work, and that the job is no small one owing to the depth is will be necessary to go to find a solid foundation, it will take some bustling. But the men in charge un- derstand their business and it is safe to say will put the work through on time.

In addition Mr. Kern put in a new reading table and bad his lounging chairs ali cleaned and revar- nished so that the place now presents a very citified appearance. And one com- mendable thing about the new front is that it was made right here in Bellefonte by T. R. Hamilton, at his new machine shop in the rear of his residence on How- ard street. The front is in three sections, each containing a large beveled edge French plate glass mirror. It is of oak, highly polished, stained and varnished, aod is a job that could not be surpassed by any factory in the country. SrEVENS—HAZZARD—The many friends | of Hon. A. A.
