The Rittersville Hospital Scandal.
The Philadelphia architect who was
pains to be as lenient as possible. He
couldn't help reporting irregularities and
graft. The evidence was so abundant
that a blind man could see and one didn't
need the technical knowledge of an arch-
itect to discover the bad work which is
apparent everywhere. Nearly $2,000,000
have been expended in the nine years
since the enterprise was begun and not a
patient has been accommodated and no
part of the work is sufficiently advanced
toward completion to make it available
for patients in the near future. But even
in the face of these facts no suggestion
of graft is made.
The architect does admit that one firm
of contractors was favored, that inferior
materials were used and that the build-
ings have been practically ruined by ex-
posure before they have been completed.
He “owns the soft impeachment” that the
site ‘was badly chosen and cost vastly
more than it was worth and he acknowl-
edges that the architectural work is
atrocious. But he doesn’t intimate that
any of those responsible for these things
is culpable, though he might easily have
made a “goat” of former Auditor General
SNYDER, who is yet a member of the com-
mission, though he is in the penitentiary
for other grafting operations. He was
probably afraid that such aspersions
might involve some who are not yet con-
victed and inculpate some favorites of the
machine.
The truth of the matter isthat grafters
are shielded by the machine and will con-
tinue to be until the machine is voted out
of power entirely. Four years ago Gov-
ernor STUART promised a vigorous prose-
cution of the capitol grafters but he has
done nothing to fulfill his promise, for the
conviction and sentence of Dr. SNYDER
and SHUMAKER was merely a subterfuge.
If STUART had been defeated for Governor
half a dozen distinguished politicians
would now be languishing in prison and
grafting would have been made so odious
and hazardous that no criminal impulse
would have dared venture it. The Rit-
tersville operations have not been as ex-
tensive as those in the construction of the
capitol but they are quite as venal and if
GRIM is elected Governor there will be a
cleaning up.
Another Rebuke for Roosevelt.
The New York Republicans have de-
clined to commission THEODORE ROOSE-
VELT as political dictator. At a meeting
of the State committee of that party for
that State, the other day, Mr. LLoyp C.
GRiscoM proposed the ex-President for
temporary chairman of the coming Re-
publican State convention. All the federal
office holders in the body voted for him
but he was defeated by a large majority
and Vice President SHERMAN was des-
ignated for the honor. Under the shad-
ow of scandal in connection with the
Indian land frauds, the selection was
eminently fit. Yet we cannot withhold
an expression of admiration for the spirit
that opposed ROOSEVELT.
The plain inference is that the Republi-
can party of New York is hopelessly
divided. During the closing months of
his own administration and thus far dur-
ing the administration of TAFT, an alien
element, that is a non-resident contingent,
has undertaken to manage the Republican
party of New York. Young GRISCOM, con-
spicuous in the shipbuilding trust but a
citizen of Philadelphia, was made presi-
dent of the New York city organization,
recently, in opposition to the wishes of
the local voters of that faith, but in the
to bossism. Upon his return from the
jungle RoGSEVELT at once as assumed the
dictator and issued

that but for it, would be cast for the
Democratic nominee—thus aiding the
Machine in the most effectual way possi-
ble. And it is doing exactly what it was
launched to do.
He is a queer Democrat who is willing
to do—and is proud of doing—this kind
of work, and our neighbor of the Demo-
crat seems not only anxious, but actually |
aching to do as much of the discreditable |
ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.
FLEGAL—Adam Lever Flegal, one of |
the oldest and most esteemed citizens of
Philipsburg, died last Friday evening. He
had been ailing for a number of years
and his death was the result of Bright's
disease and other complications.

BARNES.—John Barnes Sr., died at his
home in Philipsburg on Monday after-
noon after an illness of several months,
He was born in Lancashire, England, and
was seventy-four years old. He came to
this country in 1862 and first located at
Powelton but two years later moved to
Philipsburg and that place was his home
the balance of his life. For years past he
was engaged in the coal mining business
and was also a large real estate holder.
He was a member of the Episcopal church
and an unassuming, though progressive
man. His wife with eight children sur-
vive, namely: James, of Barnesboro;
Mrs. Richard Miller, of Zanesville, Ohio;
Thomas, of Toronto, Canada; Mrs. Hunt
Hughes, of Emporium; and John, Joseph,
Henry and George, of Philipsburg. He

ROTE.—Mrs. Fred Rote, of Tyrone, died
on Sunday night in the Altoona hospital.
She was in good health until Saturday
when she was taken seriously ill and was
taken to the hospital in Altoona where
her death occurred twenty-four hours
later.
Her maiden name was Miss Sarah
only 22 years, 11 months and 3 days oid.
Eleven years ago the family moved to
Tyrone and it was there she was united

Howarp.—After suffering for several
months with tuberculosis Martin Howard
died at his home in Bush Addition on
Tuesday evening. He was about forty-!
eight years old and was born in county
Galway, Ireland. He came to this coun-
try with his parents when he was only
three years old, coming soon after to
Bellefonte. For a number of years he
was employed at the Nittany furnace and
was faithful in the discharge of all his
duties. He never married but is survived
by his aged mother, three brothers and
one sister, namely: John, Michael, Daniel
and Miss Mary. The funeral will be held

old. Most of her life was spent in Cen-
tre county until three years ago when
she went to make her home with her

years ago and of all her children Mrs.

one of the best known of them all.
Martin Fauble, plain, honest, genial man
that he was died in the height of his suc-
cess. From nothing he had built up one
of the largest clothing establishments in
the central part of the State, earned for
himself an enviable position in this com-
munity and established a record for fair
dealing that brought its fullest measure
of success. With no ambition for self ex-
ploitation his greatest pleasures seemed
to be in a quiet, friendly interest in the
welfare of those about him. He loved
animals and knew the agricultural life so
well that his aquaintance in the county was
as large and probably more intimate than
that of any man we had. And his sterling
character made him the counsellor of so
many that we know his going marks the
loss of a friend not soon to be replaced
in the hearts of hosts. He w2s a man of
keen intellect, broad-minded,and practical,
charitable, always, where his judgment
discerned merit. Wholly indifferent to
most of the lighter pleasures of life he
was happiest in close intimacy with his
family ahd spent many of his leisure
hours in gratifying his fondness for good
literature. It is only natural that the
passing of sucha man should be deplored
and this community bears testimony to
the loss it has suffered in the expressions
of profound regret that we hear from all
classes.
Mr. Fauble had had several periods of
illness in the last year or two but it
was not until six weeks or two months
ago that arterial sorosis with which he
had suffered became acute and re-
sulted in his death about 8.20 o'clock
on Wednesday morning. From the very
first the nature of the disease was such
that there was no hope of a permanent
recovery and realizing this he met death
calmly and unflinchingly, as theone sure
means of escape from days and nights of
pain and suffering
Deceased was born in a small hamlet
near Hamburg, Germany, on December
| 22nd, 1844, hence was 65 years, 7 months
! and 26 days old. He came to this coun-
Steele, and she was born at Martha Fur- |
nace on September 10th, 1887, hence was |
try when but sixteen years old and three
years later, or about 1863, came to Belle-
fonte and embarked with Abram Baum
in the peddling business. Later he
worked for Simon Lyon, the butcher and
several years after his arrival here he
began work as a clerk in the store of S.
and A. Loeb. Later he was taken
into the firm as a silent partner and con-
tinued with them until 1886 when he
started in business for himself by opening
a clothing and gents furnishing store in
the Ammerman building on Bishop street.
At the expiration of one year he moved
into the room in the Reynolds block now
occupied by Knisely's cigar store where
he was five years, during which time he
not only laid the foundation of his future
good business but established a reputa-
tion throughout the county for fair and
honest dealing which was the prime
factor in his successful career. Seven-
teen years ago his business had increased
so as to outgrow his quarters at that time
and he leased and moved into the rcoms
he has occupied ever since in the Brock-
erhoff house block. While Mr. Fauble
gave much of histime to his business and
his family he was also enterprising and
progressive and always willing and ready

it is going to be acinch to win a game and

not the case. Several changes were made

HUNTING HER DAUGHTER.—Last Thurs-
day afternoon Mrs. Charles Yeager, of
Jersey Shore, came to Bellefonte on the
4.44 train and after registering at the
Garman house enlisted the aid of the
police in a search for her fourteen-year-
old daughter, Miss Grace Hammerstein,
who, she claimed, had come to Bellefonte
with one of the attaches of Robbins’ cir-
cus. A search of the various hotels dis-
closed the fact that a young girl who reg-
istered as Lulu M. Decker, Williamsport,
had taken dinner at the Brockerhoff
house, but she was alone. From the
description given Mrs. Yeager expressed
the belief that it was her daughter but as
the girl paid her bill and left the hotel
right after dinner, she had disappeared
as completely as if the earth had swal-
lowed her.
The search was continued during the
afternoon and evening without avail
Mrs. Yeager remained over night and
word was telephoned to the Tyrone au-
thorities to be on the lookout for the girl
but about noon on Friday word was re-
ceived from the Lock Haven authorities
that the girl had been found in that place.
On Saturday one of the men with the
show was arrested at Saxton, where the
the circus was exhibiting, and that night
was taken through to Jersey Shore, but it
has not been learned if he was the man
who enticed the Hammerstein girl away
from home.
A STRANGE EXPLOSION.—George W.
Sunday, the Bishop street tailor, was the
victim of a most unusual accident Tues-
day morning. As a result of it he has a
badly burned right hand and forearm and
will probably carry it in a sling for two
months.
He was cleaning a ladies dress in the
yard at the rear of his establishment and
had about two quarts of gasolene in a
pail. There was no fire nearer than in
the shop, twenty feet away, but the
gasolene in the bucket exploded with a
terrific report that shook the windows at
the rear of the building and threw the
burning gas all over George. He was
completely enveloped in flames, but had
the presence of mind to run intosome high
grass in the yard and roll over and over
until it was smothered. The flesh on his
right hand was burned to the bone over
the knuckles and very painfully else-
where.
The remarkable part of the accident is
the fact that the gasolene should explode
in an open bucket and without fire being
near it.

~——Dr. J. M. Brockerhoff harvested one
of the best crops of oats grown in Centre
county on his farm east of Bellefonte and
feels confident that the yield when thresh-
ed will also be large. He had two fields
of it, one of the ordinary variety grown
in this section and another of a new vari-
ety which he raised for the first time this
year. On Sunday he counted the grains
on several heads of the common variety
and they ranged from 104 to 108, while
on the new variety there were 118 grains.
While the extra ten and twelve grains on
a head may not seem very much when
just one head is taken into consideration
yet when you figure that it means about
a ten per cent. increase in yield taken
altogether, it makes quite a difference in
oats and financial returns.

three young men and women took a hike
up Spring creek. They started with the
idea of going to the Eagle's Nest or the
Forked Spring but when they got up to
Ferd Beezers they were all willing to go
into camp. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Jackson
are spending the week at The Willows
and they kindly granted the young peo-

back to Bellefonte about midnight.
——The Central Pennsylvania District
Firemen's association will hold their an-
nual convention at Osceola Mills aon
Wednesday and Thursday of next week,
August 24th and 25th. In this connec-

firemen have gone to considerable trouble
and expense to have everything in fine
shape for the visiting firemen and their
efforts should be rewarded with a large
attendance. The Bellefonte department
will be well represented.
DEDICATION POSTPONED.—Owing to the
fact that the persons desired to address
the public at the time of the dedication
of the new High school building cannot
be secured for the date heretofore fixed,

some folks, but honest people call it a piece of
scoundrelism.
There was quite an exciting scene at the medi-
cine show on Thursday evening last, the occasion
being a prize contest. The prize was presented
to the most popular lady in town to be decided by
ballot. Quite a number of candidates were in the
field, but Mrs. O. T. Corman carried off the prize,
consisting of twenty-seven pieces of plated ware
—knives, forks, spoons, etc. A little unpleasant-
ness was created during the contest, no doubt
the result of accumulated booze. A party making
great promises to work for one of the contest-
ants, but like the witches in Macbeth, “kept the
word of promise to the ear and broke it at the
hope,” by another party, being de-
tected it looked war, but finally ended in
fumes and vapor, and nobody hurt.
