The Academy has made it a custom for a number of | years past to give a banquet to the foot- | ball team and this year invited Congress- | man A. J. Barchfeld, of Pittsburg, as the | guest of honor. Congressman Barchfeld is the step-father of Gilbert Meyers, a brightest boys in the Academy, and as accepted the invitation to be present, and when the trustees of the Academy and other prominent citizens of the town were informed of the fact they decided to make it an occasion worthy the presence of such a prominent man, so that at the banqueting board last night ninety cov- ers were laid and among the guests were many of Bellefonte’s most prominent pro- fessional and business men. Congressman Barchfeld arrived in Bellefonte in the morning and was met at the train by James R. Hughes, John Blanchard Esq., Hard P. Harris and others and escorted to the Brockerhoff house. After a brief rest a delegation of citizens escorted him around the town and showed him the various places of interest. In the afternoon he went to State College accompanied by Judge Orvis, John Blanch- ard, Joseph L.. Montgomory and Hard P. Harris. There they were the guests of Dr. E.E. Sparks in an inspection of that institu- tion. At 8.15 o'clock he gave a free lecture in Petriken hall on the subject “The Na- tions Progress.” Congressman Barchfeld is a much-traveled man and was thorough- ly conversant - with his subject and the large crowd who heard him were not only well entertained but deeply interested in every word that fell from his lips. Following the lecture those who were fortunate enough to be included among the guests at the banquet repaired to the Brockerhoff and shortly after nine o'clock the doors to the big dining room were thrown open and the guests marched into a room resplendent with the Academy colors, orange and white, with just enough of a mixture of orange and black to give an effective tone to the decorations. Christy Smith's orchestra was present and furnished the music while the large crowd present discussed the following menu: Oak Islands Pickles Cream of Asparagus Roast Philadelphia capon stuffed. giblet sauce Mashed potatoes Celery Olives Creamed onions Pine apple sherbert Lobster mayonnaise New York ice cream Toasted water crackers Roquefort cheese Coffee Cigars Cigarettes When cigars were lighted James R. Hughes, principal of the Academy, arose and in a happy little speech told of the occasion for the gathering and expressed his gratification at the way the trustees and the people of Bellefonte had united to make the affair such a success and to do honor to the guest who had come here from Pittsburg especially to be present at the banquet, Congressman Brachfeld. The latter was introduced and in respond- ing spoke of “Our Island Possessions.” Congressman * Barchfeld has traveled through the Philippines, Hawaii, Porto Ri- co and other United States possessions so that what he said were facts and not sec- ond hand information gleaned from other sources. Mr. Hughes presided throughout the evening as toastmaster and those who re- sponded were as follows: Dr. E. E. Sparks, to the tuast “Secondary Education;” Prof. Arthur Sloop, “The Faculty;” Gilbert Meyers, “Our School Life;” Rev. James P. Hughes, “My Students;” Hon. J. C. Meyer, “Bellefonte;” Hon. Eillis L. Orvis, “The Alumni,” and Gen. James A. Beav- er, “The Trustees.” Although the hour was late several others were called for in impromptu speeches and responded in turn. Success is the only word that will fit- tingly describe this annual testimonial of the Academy to the boys who also won success on the gridiron and thereby athle- tic fame for the institution; but it would not do to close this article without refer- ring to the fact that the banquet also commemorated the eighty-second birth- day anniversary of that grand old man, ——Last week we failed to mention the fact that on January 11th Rev. and Mrs. Winey, of the United Brethren church, were the recipients of a generous dona- tion from the members of his congrega- tion. After the meeting in the church had closed for the evening Rev. Winey went home but had hardly gotten into the house when a message was re- ceived asking him to go to the Aid society room. He went there and when he got inside the door the lights were suddenly turned on and he was confronted with a room full of his parishioners. Dr. Platts had preached for him that evening and he was there in the capacity of spokes- man for the crowd and in a fitting little speech told Rev. Winey the object of the gathering and presented him with the donation which consisted of groceries and provisions,a load of coal and money to the amount of thirty-five dollars.

Carroll § Sleppy, one of the | brightest students at the Beilefonte Acad- | emy, is in the Bellefonte hospital with a very bad attack of pneumonia. In fact his condition has been so serious that his father, who is a Methodist minister in Pittsburg; his mother and his brother have been here for a week past, but it is now believed the disease has passed the crisis and there is hope of his recovery. ——The song hits § in “Buster Brown" this season, are “The Billiken Man,” “By the Light of the Silvery Moon," “Cuban- ola Glide,” “My Little Kangaroo,” “Bon- nie, My Highland Lassie,” “Mr. Soldier,” “Oh, Buster Brown,” “I've Been Think- ing,” “Obediah,” and others. The songs are all light, easily remembered, and beautifully sung. This ever-welcome mu- sical show will be at Garman'’s this (Fri- day) evening. isin ——]. M. Cunningham has joined the ranks of automobilists in Bellefonte, he having purchased the old Buick car re- cently owned by Thomas H. Harter, and when the weather gets warm he will enjoy himself just as much as the man with a high priced car. Writing of auto- mobiles, the indications are that the com- ing season will witness quite a number of new machines in Bellefonte. Two or more demonstrating cars will be brought here and a number of Bellefonters are contem- plating buying one. ———— AH — ——0On Saturday, January 15th, Mrs. Eliza M. Campbell, of Linden Hall, cele- brated the eighty-second anniversary of her birth. She is the last surviving mem- ber of the well known David Mitchell family, of Pine Grove Mills and is well known to a large number of people on the South side. To participate in the above celebration there were present three of her children, D. M. Campbell, J. Eimer Campbell and Mrs. James C. Gilliland, as well as seven grand-children. Mrs. Camp- bell has entirely recovered from a recent illness and in addition to enjoying good health is as spry as a woman many years her junior. —— ee A] on mmm ——Wednesday of next week will be the day for the visit of the Philadelphia Merchants association to Bellefonte. They will travel in a special train and, as they will be here only one hour, arrange- ments will likely be made to connect the train by special wires with the Penn- sylvania telephone system, so that greet- ings can be exchanged by telephone and all questions asked and answered. The train is scheduled to arrive in Bellefonte at 2.15 p. m. The merchants and busi- ness men of Bellefonte are requested to meet at the Bush house at two o'clock in the afternoon for the purpose of tender ing a reception to the visitors. ——The citizens of Bryn Mawr, Mont- gomery county, endeavored to induce Edward L. Powers, an old Bellefonte boy who is now one of the successful harness and leather goods dealers of that place, to run for either school director or township commissioner at the recent primaries but he positively declined to accept the honor. He was a member of the board of com- missioners in 1900 and made a record for which he was commended by both Re- publicans and Democrats and is satisfied to rest on the laurels won at that time. Mr. Powers is not only a regular sub- scriber and reader of the WATCHMAN himself but he appreciates it to that ex- tend that in a letter received from him recently he enclosed an order to send the paper to his uncle, James E. Powers, at Dayton, Ohio. ing Bellefonte raised the price of milk from six to seven cents because the farm- ers from whom they secured their supply raised the price to them, giving as their reason the high price of feedstuffs. But the people of Bellefonte raised such a kick that the price was put back to the old figure, six cents. Now they have another grievance. They claim that they are losing so many milk bottles, through the indifference or negligence of their patrons in returning them, that it is tak- ing all their profits in keeping stocked up. And now as a means of forcing a prompt return of all bottles they not only threat- en legal proceedings but also to increase the price of milk to seven cents. To avert this all patrons should return bot- tles promptly. | A Goop Sizep Froop.—Centre county FooTBaLL TeAM.—One of the most elab- ' phia, will sail from New York tomorrow | had another flood last Friday and there is nobody better aware of the fact than the editor of the WATCHMAN. It began rain- ing on Thursday night of last week and continued until late Friday afternoon. The thick coating of ice prevented the wa- ter from soaking into the ground and the { result was it all went into the streams (and a good sized flood was the result. Early Friday morning it was apparent both Logan's branch and Spring creek rose four foot flood running in Spring creek through Bellefonte but the water did not reach its crest until about half past five in the evening when it was over eight feet above normal level opposite this office. The result was that the WATCH- MAN press room was flooded to a depth of four feet five inches. The Republican press room had over two feet of water in it. The Palace livery was flooded to a depth be removed to other stables. The Belle- fonte Fuel and Supply company were com- pelled to remove their horses from the stables at their yards and the basement depth that the fire in the heating plant was drowned out. The back water came within a few inches of flooding the water works at the big spring and cutting off the town's water supply. So high was Spring creek that it overflowed on south Water street and on north Water street about sixty feet of wall and concrete pavement was undermined and washed down near the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania depot. At Oak Hall water covered the track of the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad to a depth of three feet and the train due here at 4:15 in the afternoon was compelled to lay at Spring Mills all night. The Belle- fonte Central railroad tracks were also covered and no afternoon trains wererun, The tracks on the Bald Eagle railroad from the old round house to below the fair grounds were two feet under water and the evening trains on the Bald Eagle did not come into Bellefonte but were able to make their usual runs from Tyrone to Lock Haven. Bald Eagle creek was high and overflowed its banks but did little or no damage. Down at the plant of the Linn—McCoy Iron company the water the furnace and it kept a force of men working until late Saturday night to get things in shape and keep the furnace from chilling. But with all the high water no bridges were washed away and no great damage was done. The water fell about as fast as it raised and by Saturday morn- ing it was only about a foot above nor- mal and regular traffic had again been re- sumed, but it wiil be some time before the effects of the flood will be entirely effaced from the machinery, etc, in the press room of this office. CENTRE COUNTY'S REAL DAUGHTER OF THE REVOLUTION.—~Among the many things the members of the D. A. R. do in their great work of collecting and pre- serving historical data and Te Revolutionary war as well as the early history of Centre county is to seek out any real daughter of an American Revo- lutionary soldier and bestow upon them the recognition prescribed by the Nation- al Chapter. The Bellefonte Chapter some time ago made the discovery that Mrs. Elizabeth Evans Reese, widow of the late Christian Reese and who is probably the oldest per- son living in Centre county today, is a real Daughter. She is a daughter of Eleazer Evans, deceased, who came to this country from Wales and settled in Chester county. He enlisted in Captain Hallman’s company, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Bull, Septem- ber 24th, 1781, and served till the close of the Revolutionary war. After that he with his family came to Centre county and located at Centre Furnace where Mr. Evans followad his trade as a millwright. Mrs. Reese was born in Ferguson town- ship and if she lives until March 3rd will be ninety-eight years of age. The above facts being laid before the governing board of the National Chapter D. A. R. they, on January 5th, passed Mrs. Reese as a real Daughter and voted her a regular insignia of a gold spoon and a pension of eight dollars per month. The spoon was presented to her by Mrs. James A. Beaver, as representative of the Belle- fonte Chapter. Mrs. Reese lives with her two daugh- ters, Mrs. Kate Burkett, a widow seven- ty-seventy years of age, and Mrs. Alice Hoover, sixty years old, who take care of her while the latter's husband manages the farm which has been their home for well on to three quarters of a century. When Mr. and Mrs. Reese were only a young married couple the former pur- chased a tract of land on the top of Muncy mountain, in Patton township, it being one of the original Gratz surveys. They cleared the land and created a nice farm and home and there Mrs. Reese has lived ever since. Notwithstanding her great age Mrs. Reese, though naturally feeble, is in good health. She eats well and sleeps well and has no pains nor aches. The honor that has been confer- red upon her in passing her as a real Daughter makes her the twenty-fourth real Daughter living in the United States, five of whom are in Pennsylvania. ———Workmen have just completed the painting of Elmer Straub’s home up on the mountain by the lime kilns.

Elliott, of New York, was in Bellefonte on Wednesday from morning until evening and was a guest at the Brockerhoff house. Mrs. Elliott, it will be recalled, is the lady who was in Bellefonte early last summer and got up the club for the American University course lec- tures and after she left the town the members could not get into communication with her and the course was started only after the members them- selves held a meeting and arranged for the lec- tures and lecturers. At the time there was con- siderable discussion about the matter and as the same thing is alleged to have occurred in other towns Mrs. Elliott was of course criticised quite freely. Just what her mission in Bellefonte was on Wednesday is not known but she is going around over the course of her old trip and seems to be pretty well informed as to everything that took place, though so far as known she offered no explanation of her apparently peculiar silence when her club members tried to communicate with her. : Mrs. Mary M; . | join will please apply at once. few minutes in the WATCHMAN office.

In connection with her subject Mrs. Avery gave a report of the girls’ shirt- waist strike in New York and Philadel- phia, which is at this time creating a sensation, partly because of its novelty. Its participants are being supported in their demands for justice by Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, of New York, and other wealthy women connected with the suf- frage associations. Mrs. Avery stated that one of the most gratifying results of the strike was the good fellowship which it had brought out among women of all classes. To stand together, to be loyal to the sex, to lend support to the woman who is ground down, that she may have her chance to earn an honest iiving, will work wonders toward abolishing the “white slave” traf- fic now a problem of the time.
