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.
The Hon. Frank B. Mo Clain, ex-speak-
er of the House of Representatives, and
one of the really prominent Republican
politicians of the State, will make the dedi-
catory address.

many of the High echools, Academies and
preparatory schools of the State will bold

o'clock the Dickinson and State baseball
game will be played on old Beaver field.

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.

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. :

New CoMpANY OpENs OFFicEs.—The

where ex-recorder John C. Rowe will be in
charge. Stock in the company is now being
sold to local investors and is being taken
quite liberally. A full organization of the
company will be made in the near future
and as soon as the financial part of it is ar-
ranged work will be commenced on the
building of the plant.

twelve passenger auto bus is now in Ty-
rone and will be broaght to Bellefonte just
as 8000 as the weather and condition of the
roads are fit for traveling. Mr, Beezer will
then be in shape to take ous pionio or sight-
seeing parties, a convenience heretofore not
enjoyed by Bellefonters, notwithstanding
the large number of automobiles in town.

——The entertainment which was to
have been given in the opera house on
Wednesday eveniog in the interest vf rais-
jog a fund to purchase a bospital ambu-
lance, was postponed until Friday evening,
May 21st, for various reasons which the
committee in charge had overlooked at the
time the date was set. This will give those
who are to participate more time in which
to perfect their parts.

Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Saxion, of Bishop
street, attempted to strike a match to light
the lamp when the head of the match flew
off after it was lit, alightiog under the

grabbed the piece of furniture and, though
his hands were badly burned he managed
to get the couch to the door and tumble it

—— Rev. Burroughs Eldridge, of Cam-
den, N. J., has accepted a call to the pas-
torate of the Baptist churches at Milesburg
and Blanchard and moved to Milesburg,
where he will make his home, this week.
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.

——Mrs. Belle Doughty, who has been
in Bellefonte for some time past in the in-
terest of establishing a local Tens, Ladies
of the Maccabees, on Sunday morning sang
a solo in the Presbyterian church aud in the
Methodist church in the evening and great
ly pleased all who beard her. Mrs. Dough-
ty is a woman of more than ordinary musio-
al ability. She is not only asweet singer
bot has a wide reputation as a composer,
and the solo she sang on Sunday morning,
both words and music, were written by
herself. Her repertoire of compositions
includes both sacred music and pational
songs.
— George A. Bayard, who is now olerk-
ing at the LeRoy hotel, in Altoona, every
now and then favors residents of the Moun-
tain city with a sample of his fine singing,
and lust Sunday sang the solo, ‘Face to
Face,” in the First Preshyterian church on
the occasion of the Odd Fellows services.
In commenting on the fact the Zimes said :
“Mr. George Bayard, of Altoona, sang the
beautiful tenor sole, *‘Face to Face.” Mr.
Bayard is the brother of Roger T. Bayard,
editor of the Tyrone Daily Herald and pos-
sesses a beautiful voice and his rendition of
the eaored sole was faultless and was lis-
tened to with rapt attention.”
——Patrons of Milton Kern's barber
shop bardly know the place mow. Last
week the old stands and mirrors were re-
moved and an entire new [ront of modern
design put in ite place. 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.

of Hon. A. A. Stevens, of Tyrove, but who

took place at the home of the bride's
brother-in-law, Dr. Thomas L. Hazzard,
and was performed by Rev. Joseph Hamil

Mrs. Stevens is a woman of more than
ordinary intelligence. Since the death of

the paper owned and conducted by ber
busband a number of years prior to his
death. She was also interested in various

PENN STATE ORCHESTRA CONCERT.—
The famous State Co'lege orchestra will
give a concert in the court house next
Thursday evening, May 13th, and the mu-
sio loving people of Bellefonte want to take
advantage of this opportunity to bear
something especially good. Those who
attended the entertainment given in the
opera house last week by The Thespians
were equally pleased with the playing of
the orchestra, but when the fact is taken
into consideration that only a small part of
it was with The Thespians it can easily be
conceived that a concert by the entire or-
chestra will be something unusually good.
The Penn State orchestra as it will appear
here next Thursday evening will be shirty-
three men strong, under the leadership of
R. H. Allport, of Philipsburg. They will
givea fuil program of the latest and most
catoby musical numbers and as ao extra
attraction will bave with them H. M.
Armstrong, who will sing a number of his
best songs. The price of admission will be
fifty cents and tickets will be on sale at
Parrish’s drug store.

sidered appealing the case but whea they

ing Monday evening that the expense of

would be $82.00 they concluded that the
wisest course would be to pay the amount
of the verdios of $157.00 and costs, which

HiGH WATER.—The bard rain of last
Thursday aod Friday, while it raised
Spring creek two feet or more, did not
bring the water hereabouts high enough to
do any damage. The fair groonds were
under water bas comparatively little dam-
aged. Bald Eagle creek was very high,
overflowing its banks in low places and in-
andating the farms along its banks, bat
withont washing ont to any extent.
Between Mill Hall and Look Haven the
Bald Eagle was very high and wild aod a
large section of track of the Bald Eagle Val-
ley railroad was washed away so that it
was necessary for the trains to run to Mo-
Elhattan, and there take the New York
Central tracks and run to Mill Hall where
they travsferred to the Bald Eagle. The
water subsided within twenty-four hours
and by the beginning of this week the rail-
road was put in shape again for the run-
ning of trains. While there bas been some
rain since it has not been enough to do any
farther damage.
