Not only in the national, but in the State elec- tions the Democratic party has revealed itself for generations as having invaria- bly presented men of unusual calibre for the offices to be filled and men who have gone down to defeat not feeling as mar- tyrs do, but proud of the principles for which they stood and proud of the op- portunity to publicly espouse them. In the nomination of President WOODROW WILSON, of Princeton University, for the Governorship of New Jersey, the Demo- crats of that State have added to the rep- utation of the party at large. President WILSON is not a politician, but he is a Democrat; a Democrat from principle and he is also a man of world wide repu- tation in educational circles. Whether he will be elected or not he will remain the same and though there may be those who will think the Democratic party is honor- ed by having him accept a nomination at its hands President WILSON would not have accepted had he thought so. As we have said before he is a Democrat from principle, nothing else, and being such he regards the honor as having been con- ferred upon him. The percentage of the voters of today who are really anything from principle is so small that the names of the great parties under which they parade are really misnomers. —So far Mr. ROOSEVELT has failed to release his views on the Maine election.

The franchise stipulated that active opera- tions were to be begun within twelve months and that failing in this the fran. chise would be forfeited. While at the time the Bellefonte people who were en- gineering the scheme talked very san. guine of it being pushed through of late nothing has been heard of it and the only conclusion to arrive at is that the bottom has dropped out and the franchise will be allowed to go by default. ~The Leathers brothers, of Howard, recently purchased the tract of timber- land owned by John Gummo in Beech Creck township, Clinton county.

The various committees had nothing of any importance to report to council and there were nc verbal or written com- munications except a letter from Arthur Brown, of New York, in which he asked for the written guarantee promised before he pays for the concrete pavement laid by the borough in front of the Brown property on Bishop street. The borough solicitor was instructed to secure the guarantee from the contractor and for- ward same. The ordinance providing for the extra width asphalt macadam paving and con- crete curb and gutters on Allegheny street; and the one amending an ordi nance passed several months ago and providing that the brick paving on Alle- gheny street from Plke alley to Bishop street shall be fifty feet wide instead of forty-six, were read for the second time and passed finally.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. D. F. Drawbaugh, of the Fourth Lutheran church. Both the contracting parties are prominent socially and the wedding was quite a pretentious one, though the num- ber of guests was confined to their large circle of friends. Following the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Noll left on a wedding trip which will ex tend through New York and the New England States to be followed with a brief sojourn at the bridegroom’f former home in Perry county. Later they will go to Ithaca, N. Y., where Mr. Noll will take another year's advanced work in zoology at Cornell University. KEICHLINE—NAATZ.—The wedding of Charles C.

All the above were authorized. Complaint was made of the dangerous condition of the pavement in front of the properties of A. C. Mingle, V. J. Bauer and W. S. Zeller, on Logan street. They are all from a foot to eighteen inches lower than grade and the adjoining pave- ments, thus forming a pitfall for the un- wary foot passenger, at least one lady sustaining a bad fall there last week. The clerk was instructed to notify them to bring their pavements up to grade. And while on the pavement question Mr. Sheffer, of the Street committee, sub- mitted a long list of pavements through- out the town that are in a bad condition, some of them dangerous, and the clerk was instructed to notify prop- erty owners to have same repaired within . twenty days or the same would be done ——One of the oldest, if not the oldest bY council at the cost of the owners. woman, in Centre county today is Mrs. The attention of council was called to Cronister, of Centre Line, Half-| the condition of High street bridge, which on She is now ninetyasix | 18 bordering on the danger lineand the years old and while she is enjoying fair Street committee was instructed to make health she is almost blind, though she is an immediate investigation to see what it still in possession of most of her other needs and what can be done to put it in faculties.

RE — — — Something very unusual in a night blooming cereus transpired at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Weber, in How- ard, the past week. Fourteen years ago Mrs. Weber got a plant and has nurtured and watched it very closely ever since in anticipation of coaxing forth its exceeding ly fragrant flower. Her efforts were re- warded last Friday night when the plant put forth its first installment of flowers and as if to repay Mrs. Weber for her ten- der care the plant bloomed again on Sat- urday night and then on Sunday night. Ordinarily a night blooming cereus puts forth blossoms only one night and some- third, so that Mrs. Weber was very fortu- nate. CENTRE COUNTIANS ALSO VICTIMS. —Last week's WATCHMAN contained an | account of the defalcations of State Sena- tor Chambers O. Templeton, of Tyrone, ‘and since then several more suits have been entered against him while every day brings something to light which makes his affairs more hopelessly involved than ever. His peculations were not confined to strangers but his nearest friends and business associates are numbered among his victims, and in the list are some from Centre county. One Bellefonte gentlemen is short $1,000 on the bogus mortgage scheme which Templeton seems to have worked to perfection, and it is stated on good authority that one Bellefonte lady which is likely gone beyond recovery. Another party at Port Matilda is a loser to the extent of over three hundred dol- lars, and there is no telling how many others there are who have not declared themselves. had $6,000 in Mr. Templeton's keeping | ew, and Miss Mildred Naatz, a niece of the bride sang “Oh Promise Me,” after which a wedding breakfast was served to NoLL—CRiLLY.—Charles Franklin Noll, in thatcity. The interior of the Plopper CHURCH CORNER STONE LAID.—The corner stone of the new St. Paul's Metho- dist Episcopal church at State College was laid on Sunday afternoon, Septem- ber 18th, with appropriate ceremonies. The congregation, which numbered be- tween five and six hundred people, assem- bled on the floor of the new building, which had been provided with temporary seats. The pastor of the church, Rev. J. McK. Reiley, presided over the services. The entire congregation united in sing- ing the opening hymn, “Holy, Holy, Ho- ly, Lord God Almighty!" which was fol- lowed with prayer by Rev. Samuel Mar- tin, of the Presbyterian church. Rev. L C. Sassaman, of the Lutheran church, read the scripture lesson. The college quartette, composed of Messrs. Roop, Smith, Miller and Stod- dart, sang a beautiful sacred selection after which addresses were made by Prof. F. L. Pattee; Dr. B. C. Conner, su- ! perintendent of the Altoona district, and Dr. Edwin Erle Sparks, after which an of- fering to the amount of $545 was lifted.

S. Glenn, president of the board of trustees. Dr. Thomas S. Wilcox, of the Bellefonte church, pronounced the benediction. A number of Bellefonte Methodists were present to witness and | participate in the services. In the corner stone was placed a roll , of the members of the church, name of i pastor, board of trustees, building com- | mittee, a list of those who have so far ' contributed toward the building of the | church and among various other things a | copy of the DEMOCRATIC WATCHMAN. “DAVE HoLcoMB.”—Oncein a while the | public likes to be serious long enough to | have their memories reverted to their : childhood days down on the farm or some | reminiscences recalied where they have | spent a pleasant vacation out in the open | country. William Lawrence, who is to | appear at Garman's, on September 30th, in his latest effort, “Dave Holcomb,” says the world is growing better. He backs his claim with the assertion that since he has advertised his play as a moral tem- | perance drama of real life, more people | have paid admissions to see him than | ever before. “Dave Holcomb” is not a | bar-room play, but is a wonderfully con- ! structed story of a man's moral life | against that of his reckless brether and | the lesson taught will not cause any great | remorse but will make you feel better | after having seen it, and convince the | most skeptical that there is lots of good | in this old world after all.

The factory was first entered on the night of September 7th when one hundred cigars were stolen. On the night of the 11th it was again broken into and two hundred cigars taken. Suspicion pointed to young Parks because he was continual- ly smoking and on several trips up Spring creek sold cigars at two for a cent. After his arrest he confessed and told where the cigars were hidden, under a stable in the rear of F. E. Naginey's store. Policeman Dukeman made a search and found the six boxes, though only two hundred cigars were recovered, Parks having smoked and sold the other hundred. When arrested he was sent to jail but was bailed out by Col. Taylor on Wednesday. , =——When in doubt as to where tospend ' an hour each evening, go to the Scenic.

On Tuesday evening the electric lighting system was turned on for the first time since the dynamo was reset—to run foward instead of backward—and the dif- ference over what it was when first in- stalled in the old house is quite marked, being almost one hundred per cent. more brilliant. The new house was built and will be furnished in the best way possible for the comfort and convenience of the club members.

There will be fruit and vege- tables of all kinds, fit to grace any table, that can be purchased as cheaply as any- where else. There will be lots of house- hold necessities, fancy work, etc. A real (?) Hindoo fortune teller will be on duty at all times and there will be plenty of other attractions to please everybody.
