ARRANGEMENTS FOR A NEW CHURCH CoMPLETED.—The building committee of the Methodist Episcopal church at State College has about completed arrange- ments for the erection of a new house of worship at East College avenue and McAllister street. The building as now planned will cost from $25.000 to $30.000. It will be of native limestone trimmed with Indiana limestone. The dimensions will be 101x66 feet with an extreme height of sixty-five feet. Three hundred and seventy will be able to find seats in fhe auditorium, while two galleries will afford seating capacity for 130 more. The Sunday school room will have seats for 400 and will be arranged in such a way that it can be thrown into the auditorium of the church. The total seating capacity of the church, therefore, will be 900. Itis expected to start work on the edifice within three weeks. For the present serv- jces will continue to be held in the old church, which will be moved to the back of the lot. The congregation was orga- nized twenty-two years ago with a hand- full of members. Now its roll of names numbers 250. The new church, which will be in a splendid location, is being built with an eye to the future. Andrew Carnegie has pledged one-half of the $2,500 necessary for the new pipe organ and a committee of ladies is soliciting the other half. The pastor is Rev. J. McK. Reiley. mn ns AP = PossiBLY A CHANCE FOR YOUR Boy.— Competitive examinations of applicants for two of the eight regular Frank Thom- son scholarships will be conducted dur- ing the latter part of the present month. These scholarships, each of which amounts to $600 a year, were establish- ed in 1907 and endowed in the sum of $120,000., by the three children of the late Frank Thomson, formerly president of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, as a memorial to their father. They were designed to afford to “sons of the living and deceased employees of all the Pennsylvania Railroad an opportunity for a technical education so as to better en- able them to qualify themselves for em- ployment by the company.” Each year since the establishment of the fund, two scholarships have been awarded. With the two to be awarded this year, there will be a total of eight, which number will be maintained in succeeding years. ‘The examinations corrrespond in general to the entrance requirements of the sci- entificdepartments of the higher class of universities,colleges and technical schools. They are open to the sons of all employ- ees living or deceased of the Pennsyl- vania railroad lines. DONATED LAND FOR HOSPITAL PARK. —Col. W. Fred Reynolds has deeded to the Bellefonte hospital the land in the rear of the Evangelical church, extending from the eastern boundary of the present hospital grounds to the road running along the west side of the dam, contain- ing a little more than two acres. The grounds will be cleared of all stone and rubbish, a roadway built through them and thus converted into a hospital park. Seats will also be built at various places in the park which will afford a delightful retreat for lounging or the recreation of convalescing patients. Col. Reynolds is to be commended on his generosity in thus giving to the hospital ground for a park and if his action was emulated by others who are able to do so in giving at least soldiers who served in the war of the Revolution, three in the war of 1812, two in the Mexican war and twenty-five in the Civil war. In the new cemetery are the remains of fourteen Civil war soldiers, while the Treziyulny cemetery contains two, the Advent cemetery forty-seven and Fairview three. The above were all decorated by Post 261, of Milesburg, on Memorial day. IN] DEATH OF Ex-JunGe JoHN G. Love.— | Heread law until the fall of 1866 when EX-JUDGE JOHN GRAY LOVE.

For the past eighteen months he had been afflicted with sciatic rheumatism and had tried various remedies and different mountain and seaside resorts. At times he would show enough improvement to justify a hope of regaining in part, at least, his former health, only to be seized with another and more serious attack. Late- ly the dangerous complication of harden- ing of the arteries set in and while this rendered his condition very grave he never gave up hope. Some two or three tack which compelled him to take to his | bed. The last few days of his life he was apparently improving and he had admitted to practice in the New York state courts, He took six weeks’ vaca- tion at home and in August, 1867, came to Bellefonte and was admitted to prac- tice and became a member of the Centre county bar. That was the beginning of a career which in a stretch of over three-score years can be written the one word-—suc- cess. Success achieved because he was a diligent worker, studious, careful and concise in the preparation of a case and always conscientious and honest in his dealings with a client.

John Gray Love was a son of James | and Catharine Gray Love and was born! at Stormstown December 10th, 1842, | making his age 67 years, 6 months and 2 days. At the time of his birth and dur- ing his boyhood days his father conduct- ed a tailoring establishment in Stormstown | and he was very painstaking in directing the education of his children. When the subject of this sketch was twelve years old the family moved to the western end of Halfmoon township where his father bought a large tract of land, a good part of which was covered with the original growth of timber. He engaged in farm- ing on that portion of his land already cleared and cleaned off a good portion of the other until he had the largest farm in that valley, and there laid the founda- tion for the little village of Loveville, named after him. In this work John as- sisted, working on the farm during the summer and tramping over two miles to school five months during the winter. In this way he not only acquired the rudi- ments of a superior education but also a healthy ‘constitution that carried him through the various vicissitudes of his more than three score years of life. In the fall of 1860, when not quite eighteen years of age, he entered Dickinson Semi- nary, at Williamsport, and continued as a student there during the year. The next summer he put in on the farm and dur- ing the winter of 1861-2 he taught school at Stony Point, in Patton township. At the close of his school he returned to Dickinson Seminary for the balance of the school year. The next winter he taught school at Masseysburg, Hunting- don county, and in the spring of 1863 he took the final course in Dickinson Semi- nary. At the close of college in June, 1863, he returned to the farm with as yet no definite idea as to his future. It was only a few days thereafter when Gen. Lee with the pride of the Confederate army invaded Pennsylvania and to the gen:ral alarm and call for volunteers to help re. pel the invasion John Love promptly re- sponded. He joined the state militia and went to Harrisburg and though he did not in the battle of Gettysburg early in July of that year he assisted in guarding the property of other towns in the Cumberland valley from destruction by marauders. After Lee's defeat and retreat from Pennsylvania he returned home and helped with the work on the farm until the fall of the year when he went to Mt. Union and enlisted in the regular volunteer service. At Harrisburg he was assigned to the Twenty-second cavalry and sent to Waynesboro to do picket duty. From that place the regi- ment was sent to Charleston, W. Va, where they encamped during the winter of 1863-4. In the spring of 1864 this body of cavalry was sent into London and Woodstock valleys, W. Va,, to break up the raids of Imboden’s cavalry and Mos- by's marauders and during that summer young Love saw and engaged in consid- erable active service. When his nine month’s term of enlistment expired he returned home and early in the year of 1865 he entered as a law student in the | brother attorneys, and especially so to the younger members of the bar. When Judge Love was admitted to the Centre county bar it had among its mem- bers some of the ablest attorneys in the State but he rapidly forged to the front, and though his reputation as a jurist was perhaps not as state-wide and celebrated as some of the older members it did not take him long to take rank at home with the best of them. In addition to his prac- tice he always took an active interest in politics though he never sought any po- litical favors until the year 1894 when he entered the race for the judgeship nomi- nation against Hon. A. O. Furst. The primaries were hotly contested but Mr. Love won out. The Democrats nominat- ed C. M. Bower as his opponent and the campaign is still a memorable one. At that time the judicial district was com- posed of Centre and Huntingdon counties and it was a close fight but with the in- fluence of Hastings back of him Love was elected and served a term of ten years, from January, 1895, to January, 1905. At the election in 1904, he was de- feated for a second term by Judge Eilis L. Orvis. As a judge Mr. Love was as assiduous in his labors as he was in his individual practice. On the bench he presided with honor and credit to himself and the Centre county bar, and as evi- dence of his fairness and judicial acumen is the fact that during his entire term he had very few reverses of judgment by the higher courts. He was a man of strong convictions but rarely, if ever, allowed them to prejudice him in judgment. In politics the judge was a Republican of the most pronounced type and was always found lined up with the regulars of his party. He was an open admirer of Senator Quay and his advice and counsel were often sought in a hot political con- test. Though he held the office of judge for one term it is generally conceded that he never received proper recognition for the work he did for his party. As a citizen and neighbor judge Love was the embodiment of the highest type of American citizenship. Always affable and courteous, easily approached by men in every walk of life; interested in the welfare of the town and community, and kind and thoughtful of those around him, he was universally esteemed. While he naturally had his political differences he rarely allowed it to enter into his social life and his death is the taking away of a man whom any community can ill afford to lose. For over thirty-five years he was a and a trustee of the Bellefonte Lodge of Elks. He made the address at the first memorial service held by the Bellefonte lodge and last year made the address at the Lock Haven lodge services. Judge Love was married twice. His first wife, to whom he was married in 1874, was Miss Mattie Fisk, of Lock Ha- ven, a woman of many charms and rare accomplishments. She died on February 25th, 1887, without issue, and in October, office of Edmund Blanchard, in this place. | 1889, he was married for the second time only a little over a week's illness with a being possessed of a remarkably good complication of diseases, due principally Voice his singing in the choir was always to his advanced age. + a feature of the service.

When but four yearsold his parents moved to Ferguson township and located at what is now Pine Hall, where young Israel as sisted in clearing the land that has been the family homestead ever since and where he spent all the rest of his life. His occupation was naturally that of a farmer and he was quite successful. In March, 1860, he was married to Miss Harriet McBath who survives with the following children: G. Edward, John, Elmer, Benjamin and Charles, at home; Mrs. Scott Meese, Mrs. Otis Hoy, Mrs. Susan Resides, of State College, and Mrs. H. M. Walker, of Fairbrook.
