At this meeting the an- nual report of the chiel fish warden will be presented and arraugements made for the preparation of the annual report of the commission. On Tharsday morning, December 16h, at ten o'clock, fish commissioner W. E. Meehan and four members of the commis- sion, namely : John Hamberger, of Erie; Heary C. Cox, of Wellshoro ; Andrew R. Whittaker, of Phoenixville, and W. A. Leisenring, of Mauch Chunk, will bold a meeting at the Bash house to hear testi: wony of fishermen regarding the status of Penos creek as a trout stream. This action is the result of a dispute among fishermen as to whether any part of Penos creek is inbabited by trout or not, which dispute was referred for settlement to the Fish Commission under the Act of May 1, 1909 The meeting will be open to any person wishing to attend and all parties in any- ways interested should appear and bear testimony. Under the law any stream in- habited by trout cannot be fished with any devioe exceptiog a rod and line, and under & decisioon of the Attorvey General a stream which is inhabited only in pars comes under the provisions of the law and it is uolawfal to construct therein fish baskets and eel pots, or use gigs, spears or loops for catching fish. Under the above ruling, if it is fonod that Penns creek in part is inbabited by trout it would be un- lawfal for the county treasurer to issne li- oenses for fish baskets, eto., and it is to de- cide this question that the above meeting will be held and testimony taken. The decision of the commission will he final. WHAT SUPERLATIVE INTELLIGENCE! —As a sample of the kuvowledge some newspaper writers have of Bellefonte and ite surrounding indastries is the following item from the sclamn eutitled *‘In Osher Counties’ in Monday's Altoona Tribune : Lime burniog is #aid to he hecoming wore general in the vicinity of Belle. fonte where for years ite use was al- most unknown, The increasel favor in which is is held is dae to the agita- tion for its use in farmers’ institutes and gatheriogs. Now whoever heard of anything as pre- posterous as the above? Lime hurning be- ing a thing almost unknown here, when it bas been one of our moss staple industries fora third of a centary and is now the largest indostry in shis community, at pres- ent giving employment to eight bundred men or thereabouts, whose monthly pay roll rons way up in the thousands. And as to its inorease being dae to the agitation for its use at farmers’ institutes and such like gatherings, why oot oue-hall of one per cent. of the lime burned here is taken by the farmers. Is practically all is shipped to pointe all over the country, and used for various commercial purposes aside from that of a fertilizing agent. "te FILLING THE JURY WHEEL. —Ou Taes- day the jary commissioners, J. Adam Ha- zel and Clement H. Gramley, began the work of filling the jury wheel for the year 1910. The commissioners are subject to the orders of she court and prior to begin- ving their work they were instructed by Judge Orvis to put 700 names in the wheel this year instead of 650 as heretofore. This will be done to insare there being enough names from whioh to secure all the jurors needed for the ensuing year and obviate the necessity of calling talesman from among the audicace in the court room. Another point the court instraoted them on was that while they were to be nnbiased in the se- lection of names they were not to put in the name of any postmaster in Centre coun- ty; for the reason that it probably woualdn’t suit them to be away {rom their office for several days or a week attending cours. Aside from the above all right-shinking and law-abiding citizens are eligible to do jary duty and if you bave any desire to serve in that capacity and send your name to the jury commissioners they will give it equal consideration with all others, ee Fire Brick Company ELkcrs OFFI CERS.— At a meetiog of the Hayes Run Fire Brick company held at Orviston last Friday she lollowing directors were pres- ent : Juodge Ellis L.

An explanation for this may be found in the fact that a good many of the merchants have not ad- vertised their goods and naturally the holi- day shopper does not know where to go to be suited. ~The first real tonoh of winter the people of Bellefonte and Centre county have had this year came on Tuesday. It began raining between eight and nine o'clock in the morning and the weather was just cold enough that it froze into slosh and ice.

From present indications there will be a number of new machines in Belle- fonte next year. ——— What bas become of the Bellefonte baseball association? A meeting was to bave been held a month or more ago at which definite action was to be taken re. garding the continuing of the association vexs year and also looking toward the ac- quisition of new grounds for next season. Bellefonte had plenty of interest and a lot of good sport out of its team lass season antil the riotous gambling spiris throogh- out the league broke up the game as far as clean sport was concerned and there is no reason why a properly organized and man- aged team here next season should not be just as good sport as that of last year. EE me. —W. G. Laye, who spent moss of the summer in Bellefonte, bas been here this week as singer of the illustrated sougs at the Socenicand helping to run the place durivg manager T. Clayton Brown's absence in Philadelphia. And as Mr. Laye has been in the business long enough to know all about it patrons of that favorite place of amusement can feel sure of wit. pessing the usual high class pictures and catoby songs every evening, just as they bave witnessed in the pass. The best of order is always maintained sod it ie one place that any man, woman or child in Bellefonte can go and enjoy themselves. And five cents pays lor it all. — About five o'clock on Monday alter- noon C. C. Shuey’s grocery delivery wag- on was out on east Lion street with a large load of groceries. The driver came out of a house and was just in the aot of stepping up into the wagon when the team gave a jomp and ran away. The driver was thrown to the ground but was not hurt in the least. The team ran west on Linn street and down the state road to the red school house where they were caught by Edmund Blanchard. Notwithstanding the fact that the team ran almost a mile they did not oollide with anything, the wagon and harness were not broken in any way aod not a basket of the large load of gro- —— ceries was overturned. CI ————. already donned their holiday attire and | Roap Supervisor's MggriNe —Thir- teen road supervisors of Centre county, which included the officers and executive committee as well as a few others, attend- ed a meeting of the Road Supervisors as- sociation beld in she office of J. A. B. Mil- ler last Saturday morning. The sah com- mittee which had in charge the prepara- tion of a constitution and by-laws submit- ted ite report and with a few changes it was accepted and both adopted as the gov- erning power of the orgacization. The article on membership provides that allroad supervisors are eligible and may become members if they wish to do so. No membership fee is required from active members and there is no provision for an- noal does. Persone who are not road sa. pervisors can become honorary members aod from them any voluntary contributiun they see fit to make will he accepted by the treasurer of the association for the pur- pose of covering any expense they may have. Alter the meeting the supervisors were entertained at dinner at the Brockerboff house by the Bellefonte Motor clab. It had been plaoned to give the supervisors an automobile ride but as most of the vieitors left Bellefonte on the early alter- noon trains this part was dispensed with. The next meeting of the association will be beld in this place on the second Satnrday in Maroh, 1910. ier TaE HoLy Crry.—Mr. Clarence Bennett, the aotbor, will appear bere ia “The Holy City,” playing the dual roles of John and Jadas, supported by Pauline Harioe, as the Princess Salome. This well known pro- daction will be at the opera house next Toesday evening, December 14th. The play of course, deals with sacred objeots and satjeots, the author having taken for his theme the thrilling story of Jobn the Baptist, in which role he will appear, and the incidents of the Bible story just previ- ous to and immediately following the oruci- fixion. The tragedy of Calvary is sbown by a tableaux after the famous painting by the Michael Angelo and is said to be one of most striking and at the same time coe of the moss magnificent of stage piotares. The character of the Saviour is not in any way drawn into the play bat many ofjthose as- sociated with Him while on earth are shown with a fidelity to the best concep- tions of their characters and appearance, and the result is a play that is at all times absorbing in interest and elevating in its teachings. Clarence Bennett has provided a soenio equipment that bas rarely, if ever been equalled and the costuming is said to be really maguificent. The Dance of Salome will be an added featare. Prices, 25 to 75 cents. —— “GirLs” WILL BE HERE, —‘'Girls,” under the management of the Shaberts, will be the offering at the opers house, Wednesday eveniog, December 15th. The play is from the pen of Clyde Fitch and bas to its credit an all season ran at Daly’s theatre, New York. To create laughs was the intention of she playwright and in this be has been most successfal. There are laughs for the pessimist, for she lovelorn, for the woman bater, for the man hater, for young and old, in “Girls ;"’ aud shen again it contains a pretty love story so oleverly interwoven as to make it not only a play for those who seek the lighter form of en- tertainment, but one that appeals to the more serious minded. Taken as a whole “Girls” is credited with being one of the mo3t entertaining productions of the sea- son. Prices from 25 cents to $1.50. ———— KuiNe's SHoE STORE CLOSED, — Ex- sheriff Heury Kline has given up the shoe business in Bellefonte. For some time past it was manifest to him that the basi- ness would not pay, as the most of the large stock of goods purchased for the fall and winter trade was still on his bands. Under sach adverse conditions be decided shat the best thing for him to do was to olose his store himself and not wait for the sheriff to do it. By an amicable agree- ment the manafacturers from whom he purchased his stock will take it all back at the regular cost price so that Mr. Klive will be able 80 meet every obligation and retire from the bosiness with very little loss. Just what he and his head olerk, James Corl, will do in the (ature has not yet been decided upon, so far as known. THE PHARSONIANS AT STATE COLLEGE. ~The Pharsoniaue of The Penuvsylvania State College will give their annual min- strel entertainment in the aaditorium at that place on Mooday evening, Decem- ber 13th. It is olaimed by those who have reviewed the rehearsals that the Pharson- ians are unusually good this year. The second part is devoted almost entirely to typical college stunts, included in which is a very realistic hazing bee. One of the features of the olio is a snappy little skit entitled “Cook and Peary as the North Pole,” which is reputed to be quite catchy. And unusual local interest is attached to this feature because it was written by Ed- mund Joseph, a son of Mr. aud Mrs. Emil Joseph, of this place, who is only in his fires year at the college.
