at Curtinon Sunday when a large con-
gregation was in attendance. The church
was beautifully decorated with evergreen

their different parts in excellent style,

that “it looked so silly to see those old

—[n their undertaking to secure an
elevator for the Bellefonte hospital the
Misses Mary and Elizabeth Blanchard
have so far secured pledged subscriptions
to the amount of $750. To purchase the
elevator, do the piping and install it in
the hospital will require about $1,400, but
as the firm from whom it will be pur-
chased requires as a first payment only
$700, it means that the elevator will be
secured and installed in the near future;
and when it is the physicians, patients
and everyone connected with that insti-
tution will be under deep obligations to
the Misses Blanchard for what they have
done. The borough authorities have of-
fered to furnish the water necessary to
operate the elevator free of charge.

! SANE FoURTH.—Quite a representative
gathering of men and women assembled
in the new High school building last Fri-
day evening in pursuance to a call of the
Civic committee of the Woman's Club in
order to formulate a movement for a safe
and sane Fourth of July. And right here
we want to say that by a safe and sane
Fourth it is not meant that the people of
Bellefonte are to spend the day housed
up in their homes or at church. It sim-
ply means the doing away withthe pro-
have been the cause of such a large cas-
ualty list throughout the land, and mak-
ing the day a holiday replete with harm-
less sports and amusements.
Various suggestions were made at the
meeting as to how this could be done but
no plan has as yet been definitely out-
lined. Among the suggestions are a base-
ball game, a marathon race, various field
sports, an automobile parade, a good
band to give concerts at various places
throughout the town during the day and
evening to close with a mammoth exhi-
bition of fireworks to be put off on some
hill where they can be seen by everybody
and under the direction of an experienc-
ed man. Of course it will require money
to do all this but if one-fourth theamount
usually spent individually is contributed
into one general fund it will be ample to
give the people of the townsuch a Fourth
of July as can be equally enjoyed by
all.
As the one big thing in doing this is
the money a Finance committee was ap-
pointed atlast Friday evening's meeting
to see how much of a fund can be rais-
ed and report at another meeting to be
held this (Friday) evening at the same
place. The members of this committee
are G. R. Spiglemyer, H. C. Quigley, W.
Harrison Walker, Mrs. E. E. Davis, Mrs.
W. G. Morrison, Mrs. L. A. Schaeffer and
James C. Furst. If you have not yet put
your name down for a contribution such
as you feel able to make and are ap-
proached by any one of the above com-
mittee don't be at all backward, as they
will take whatever you have to give.
The following gentlemen were appoint-
ed a committee on amusements: J. D.
Sourbeck, chairman; Dr. R. A. Weston,
R. Russell Blair, J. Will Conley, George
R. Meek, John M. Shugert and Robert F.
Hunter. It is their duty to arrange the
schedule of amusements and sports for
the day and the nature and scope of
these will depend entirely upon the
amount of the fund subscribed.
SECOND ELECTION FOR COLONEL UN-
SUCCESSFUL.—A second election for col-
onel of the Twelfth regiment, N. G. P,,
was held at Sunbury on Saturday night
and again it was without definite result,
so far as electing a colonel was concern-
ed, though it showed the remarkable
strength of Capt. H. S. Taylor, of this
place. At the first election there were
three candidates, Major William F. Foll-
mer, of Lewisburg, Major W. C. King, of
Williamsport, and Capt. H. S. Taylor, of
this place. There are thirty-six line of-
ficers in the regiment and of this number
Follmer received sixteen votes, King four-
teen and Taylor six.
At Saturday evening's meeting Major
King withdrew from the contest, leaving
only Follmer and Taylor in the field.
Only thirty-four line officers were present,
as since the last meeting two vacancies
have occurred, one by retirement and one
by resignation. Seven ballots were taken
and each resulted in a tie, both Follmer
and Taylor receiving seventeen votes, and
the meeting again was adjourned without
electing a colonel. It will now be neces.
sary to await the issue of another elec-
tion order before a third attempt can be
made to elect a commander for the
Twelfth. In the meantime lieutenant
colonel William F. Barber, of Sunbury,
will have charge of the regiment and all
its affairs.
