also burned. The loss is about $800 with
$300 insurance.
——Representatives of Buffalo Bills’

very few permits.
——William Wright, of Conemaugh,
recently purchased two tracts of timber
land in Union township, this county, one
containing three hundred acres and the
other one hundred and seventy. It is his
intention to erect a saw mill and manu-
facture the timber thereon into market-
able lumber and already has a few men
at work cutting timber.
——DLinn McGinley, son of Mr. and Mrs.
A. L. McGinley, of Thomas street, is
achieving quite a reputation as a fisher-
man, considering the fact that he is only
about nine years old. Itisa very ordi
nary thing for him to take home a mess
of suckers as the fruit of his piscatorial
skill and on Friday he landed a 15} inch
trout and on Saturday caught one 8

! which is the Pennsylvania Furnace flour-
grounds and forty-five acres of land, on
ing mill. The grounds lie on both sides
of Spruce creek and the club has acquir-
ed the fishing rights to three-fourths of a
riage house, etc.
Since coming into possession of the
been removed and the grounds placed in |
order. A new spill-way has been placed
in the dam ; a new tail race, 600 feet in
length constructed and a turbine water
wheel and electric generator installed for
the purpose of lighting the house and
grounds. The turbine has a capacity of
twelve-horse power and the generator is
good for 200 lights. The dam covers
from four to five acres of ground and
with its beautiful surroundings will prove
a most attractive place for boating and
fishing.
Inside, the house has been wired
throughout for electric light and new fix-
tures have been placed in position. An
additional bath room has been installed ;
painting and papering have been done
where needed and the entire house has
been newly furnished throughout. The
large parlors have been fitted out with
furniture in mahogany with leather up-
holstering. The men’s room is furnished
in mission of a most substantial type ;
this too, with leather upholstering. The
dining room will be furnished in Flem-
ish oak, with pedestal tables and leather
upholstered chairs. The bed rooms on
the second floor have been furnished with |
quartered oak dressers and wash stands |
and with white enameled bedsteads, those |
on the second floor being unique in that!
the tubing is all square, producing a pecul- |
iarly striking Colonial effect. At this |
time five bed rooms are being furnished |
on the second floor front, and four on the
third floor, for the use of the club, while |
in the wing one large room on the sec-
ond floor and three on the third floor
have been fitted up for the keeper and
help.
The culinary department has not been
neglected. A Majestic range of hotel
size, with a hot water tank of seventy-five
gallons’ capacity has been installed and is
in working order.
The water supply for the club house
and grounds is provided for by a two-
inch line of pipe from a nearby never-
failing spring, which delivers water to the
house, where a Kewanee water pressure
system with pump, operated by an elec-
tric motor, puts the water under pressure
for delivery where needed. This system
is controlled by an automatic starting
and stopping device which maintains at
all times a constant supply of water in
the 800-galion tank, kept under a fixed
pressure.
The club has a membership of about
one hundred and a notable feature of its
makeup is that the charter absolutely
prohibits a “sideboard,” or other substi-
tute, and all games of chance for money
or any other valuable consideration. The
gentlemen back of the organization are
of high standing and its success is, there-
fore, assured. The organization of the
club is as follows : President, A. G.
Morris ; vice president, George C. Wil-
son ; secretary, A. M. Laporte ; treas-
|urer, Howard Himmelwright ; directors,
Richard Beaston, Claude Jones, R. J. Mat-
tern, of Huntingdon ; Dr. John B. Nason,
and R. A. Zentmyer ; standing commit-
tees : House, Richard Beaston, R. T.
Garman, F. K. Lukenbach ; grounds, R.
A. Zentmyer, W. E. Hoffman, A. M.
Brown ; finance, John D. Meyer, of Al-
toona ; F. K. Mattern, of Warriorsmark;
Howard Himmelwright, ex-officio ; mem-
bership, Dr. R. L. Piper, H. W. Koch, of
Huntingdon, and J. L. Porter.

SACRED CONCERT AT STATE COLLEGE. —
The first of the outdoor sacred concerts
for this season will be given by the Mil-
itary band, on the front campus at State
College, at four o'clock next Sunday af-
ternoon, May 8th. These concerts have
been greatly enjoyed by all who heard
them in previous seasons and they will
likely prove just as popular this year.
Bellefonte automobilists can go up, hear
the concert and return in time for sup-
per.
To ORGANIZE A WOMAN'S CLuB.—A
meeting will be held in the W. C. T.
U. room in Petriken hall next Monday
afternoon, May 9th, at 3.30 o'clock, for
the purpose of organizing a Woman's
Club for civic and charitable work. All
women interested are urged to attend.
——There has been some weather dur-
ing the past few days and the farmers
are getting oats and corn into the ground
about as fast as they can. The recent
rains have had a marvelous effect upon
the wheat. Fields that didn’t promise
half a crop a few weeks ago are look-
ing twenty-five per cent. better now.
——J. Howard Lingle has secured the
contract for all the foundry and machine
repair work for the Eyre-Shoemaker Con-
struction company on their big job at
Northumberland. This will give an in-
crease in business and work at the Lin-
gle foundry and necessitate the increas-
ing of the force of workmen. Mr. Lingle
is now devoting considerable attention to
the brass casting department of the foun-
dry and feels confident that it will grow
into a big thing.
——At the Methodist church, on Sun-
day morning at 10.30 o'clock, the Rev
Dr. Charles E. Bohner will speak in the
interests of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Bohner
is one of the five young men who went
to study the conditions from which our
emigrants come. He will speak on the
emigrant question, a question of vital in-
terest to every wide awake American. In
the evening the pastor will present the
fourth sermon of the series on the Lord's
Prayer. The Sunday school sessions are
well attended, but still there is room.
——Neil Twomey's dramatization of
Augusta J. Evans’ famous novel of South-
ern life, “St. Elmo,” will be seen in Belle-
fonte at Garman'’s opera house, tomorrow
evening, May 7th. Mr. Twomey is an
able writer and a master of stagecraft,
and with such material as the author of
the book has provided, there is sufficient
assurance of an unusual production. It
will be interpreted by a metropolitan cast
and a carload of specially built scenery
is provided for the setting. The dresses
of Miss Roberta Brenman are alone
worth the price of admission.
——Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Moore and
Mrs. Mollie Valentine got into Bellefonte
Saturday evening at six o'clock with the
latter's new Ford touring car which they
drove from Philadelphia. The three of
them with Mrs. Thamazine Lane left
Philadelphia on Thursday and encounter-
ed such deep mud and heavy roads the
entire trip that they were until Saturday
evening getting here. Mrs. Valentine
drove the car as far as Duncannon when
the strain proved too great and she al-
lowed Mr. Moore to drive it home. Not-
withstanding the muddy roads the car
stood up manfully and the trip is consid-
ered a good test of its enduring qualities.
Mrs. Lane did not make one of the party
the entire trip but came home from Har-
risburg by train.
~The Roosevelt in Africa picture at
the Scenic yesterday evening drew a large
crowd. While Roosevelt was not very
much in evidence and there were no
scenes showing him bringing down any
of the big game of that country, the pic-
tures were interesting in showing just
what kind of a country it is and speci-
mens of different kinds of game killed as
well as life among the natives. If the
moving picture manufacturers would ca-
ter more to realistic pictures, showing
life and nature as they exist, instead of
the cheap comic and drama that is de-
picted, it would be far more interesting
and instructive. And there is no question
but that Bellefonters would have an op-
portunity to see all of the best, as man-
ager Brown sees to it that nothing of any
value escapes being shown at the Scenic.
That is the reason it is always so popular.
——Dr. H. W. Tate is notonly a good
dentist but he is a fadist whose genius
runs in channels which meet with the ap-
probation of his friends. One of his fads
is making wine and that this is a fad is
proven in the fact that neither he nor
Mrs. Tate care for it nor drink it and
about all he makes is given away to his
patrons and friends. And it is no mean
quantity he makes, either, as he now has
stored in his laboratory over one hun-
dred gallons of wine of his own make,
from one to six years old, and perhaps
older, and it is of very excellent distilla-
tion, too. The collection includes grape,
blackberry, raspberry, elderberry, dande-
kinds that we fail to remember, and he
is so generous that he invariably insists
on his visitor sampling them all. If the
time ever comes when there will be no
more tecth needing repairs, nor den-
tist work to do, the doctor might turn his
wine-making abilities into a profitable
business.

——R. B. Taylor this week shipped his
stone crusher, several wagons, tools, etc.,
to Franklin, where he has a contract for
building two and three-quarters miles of
state road. Philip H. Garbrick also left

which will be commenced at once and
must be pushed to completion within
sixty days. The road there will be all

SION.—Only seven members were present
at the regular meeting of council on
Monday evening and it took them only a |
half hour to transact what little business |
there was to attend to, it being mostiy of |
a routine and unimportant character.
The Water committee reported that the |
repairs had been made on the pump at |
No. 2 plant and that water meter bills to
the amount of $671.48 had been collected
for the first quarter. None of the other |
standing committees had anything to re-
port.
The report of the burgess showed a |
balance of seventy-five cents due him.
The treasurer's report showed an over-
draft of $290.20.
Street commissioner S. E. Showers
asked for an increase of salary commen-
surate with the high prices of living. The i
matter was referred to the Street com- |
mittee for investigation and report.
Thursday, May 19th, was fixed as the |
day for holding the water appeals, and !
the time seven o'clock in the evening.
On motion the president of council was
authorized to execute a deed to Susan
Miles for the lot or lots lying west of the
railroad in Boggs township, acquired by
the borough when the Green property at
Milesburg was purchased cighteen months
ago.
On motion of Mr. Keller a note was or-
dered drawn in favor of the borough
treasurer forone thousand dollars for one
month, to meet current bills.
In the matter of the ordinance read at
the last two meetings of council relative
to laying a sewer on Allegheny street the
committee having the same in charge
have not completed their investigations so
merely reported progress.
The residents of east Linn street have
decided to try oiling that thoroughfare
from the Lutheran church to Ridge street
and wanted to know if thestreet commis-
sioner would apply the oil if they would
purchase the same. Mr. Keller moved
that he be instructed to do the work and
Mr. Kirk in seconding the motion asked
to have it amended in that the street
commissioner be instructed to put oil on
any street in the borough when the ad-
jacent property owners purchase the
oil. It was so ordered.
When the survey was made for the new
state road through the borough it provid:
ed for a fill of from three to four feet in
front of the Beaver and Hoy row and J.
Harris Hoy, who has charge of the prop-
erties entered a protest and gave notice
that he would hold the borough liable for
any damage to the properties because of
the fill. An amicable arrangement has
about been reached in the matter. In-
stead of a fill as above mentioned it will
not be over two or two and a half feet
and the borough will build a concrete cul-
vert across the road of ample dimensions
to insure good drainage from the proper-
ties. The matter of building the culvert
was left to the Street committee to have
it done as cheap as possible commensu-
rate with a good job.
Bills to the amount of $967.87 were ap
proved and council adjourned.

ORCHARD SPRAYING. — Following the
public demonstrations on pruning and
spraying fruit trees for scale insects held
in the State's model orchards during
March and April the work will now be
taken up of applying an effective com-
bined insecticide and fungicide, viz., the
Bordeaux—Ilead arsenate spray, which
prevents injury to fruits and foliage from
codling moth, curculio and other chewing
insects, as well as the development of
rot, scab, rust, blotch, leaf blights and
fungus, etc.

performed by the bride's uncle, Rev. Rob-
ert Kline, of Allentown. There were no
attendants, the wedding being a very
simple and quiet one owing to the recent
death of the bridegroom’s mother. Mr.
Fortney is a son of David F. Fortney,
Esq, and is himself a member of the
Centre county bar. The bride is one of
Bellefonte’s well known and popular
young women and will make a worthy
helpmate for her husband. They are
now away on a wedding trip to eastern
cities and upon their return will take up
their residence in the Fortney home on
east Bishop street.

nished home, Mr. Bechtol having a good
position with a large shredded wheat bis-
cuit company in that city.

—Last week the WATCHMAN stated
that John Krumrine had bought out the
Pearce Bros., at State College. The item
was given us by a citizen of that town
but it now develops that it was incorrect
and that the Pearce Bros. are still in bus-
iness at their oid stand.
