! CAMPBELL. —A death that has caused considerable sorrow in west Ferguson township, was that of Mrs. G. Boston Campbell, at her home at Fairbrook.

The stand-pat Senators in Congress are heaping humiliation upon the head of President TAPT “with a vengeance.” After inducing him to say, less than a vision by subjects and Senator LODGE has since fallen into the same idea. There isn't much difference between revision by schedules and revision by subjects, but there is some. For example during the recent campaign the President said he is in favorof revision by schedules and the stand-pat Senators prefer to lead rather than follow. ) So far as the general public is concern- ed, however, the demand ‘is for down- ward revision whether by schedules or subjects. In the first place the first duty is to remove the tariff tax from meats altogether. This will take millions of dollars a year from the profits of | the Beef trust but it will bring wholesome and nourishing food within the reach of the average wage-earner. The next step should be the repeal of the tariff tax on wool and the reduction of that upon woolens to a revenue basis. This will take money out of the pockets of the Wool trust magnates but it will enable industrious mechanics to clothe their children in a manner to shield them from the rigors of a bad climate. It is a safe proposition that neither Senator ALDRICH nor Senator LODGE is in favor of downward revision of the tariff by any process or method. They are making the false pretense now for sinister purposes. LODGE hopes that it will secure his re-election to the Senate and ALDRICH expects that the question of revising the tariff on rubber may be delayed a considerable time while Con- gress is wrestling with other subjects or other schedules. But the Democratic majority in the House will pay little at- tention to the wishes of ALDRICH and LODGE with respect to tariff revision. They will proceed in the quickest and best way to achieve it, whether it suits these emissaries of the trusts or not. —Pittsburg boasts because beef is cheaper there than in most any city in the country. But then Pittsburg ought to have a few bright spots to point to with pride. One Smith Who Won’t Do. The platform upon which JAMES SMITH, Jr., proposes to run for United States Senator for New Jersey won't do. In a letter announcing his candidacy for the office Mr. SMITH says that he favors “a prompt revision of the tariff down- ward, especially with reference to the necessaries of life, having due regard for the conservation of our industrial inter, ests and the welfare of our wage-earn. ers.” Senators ALDRICH, or LODGE, or HEYBURN could hardly have expressed the aspirations of “the interests” better, The “conservation of our industrial inter- ests” and the “welfare of our wage-earn- ers” are the false pretenses behind which the predatory operations of the last forty years have been perpetuated. Senator SMITH likewise declares that he favors “a revival of our merchant ma- rine on a basis that will be fair and equi- table” and “the fortification of the Pana- ma canal when completed.” The late MARK HANNA always insisted that his ship subsidy scheme was for the purpose | of “a revival of our merchant marine on a basis that will be fair and equitable,” and the Steel trust, ordnance makers and other grafters favor the fortification of the Panama canal for the same rea- sons, probably, that influence Mr. SMiTH'S mind in that direction. It would afford a great opportunity for graft. There would be not less than ten years of good stealing in that enterprise. It would be a gold mine for contractors. The United States Senator for New Jersey to be chosen by the next Legisla- ture should favor tariff for no purpose other than revenue. There is no war- rant in the constitution for tariff or other taxation for any other purpose. Besides Congress has no right to legislate for the death when she contracted a severe cold which developed rapidly into pneumonia, | causing her death. Deceased was a daughter of Robert and | Mary Potter and was born in Pennsvalley ' May 5th, 1840, thus being in her seventy- i first year. Her family were among the early settlers of Pennsvalley and descend- ants of General Potter, of revolutionary fame. She was educated at the old Boalsburg Academy and in the early seventies was one of Centre county's well known school teachers, having taught several terms at the old Kepler school. On October 15th, 1873, she was married to G. Boston Campbe.l and the young couple took up their residence at Fair- brook where they lived ever since. She was a good christian woman, kind and generous, and her death is mourned by a large circle of friends. Surviving her are her husband, who is himself confined to bed and was unable to atténd his wife's funeral, three chil dren, Bertha, Agnes and Isaac; also one brother "Squire Fergus Potter, and three sisters, Mary, Phoebe and Athema, all at the old Potter homestead near Centre Hall. The funeral was held on Tuesday morning. Rev. S, J. Pittinger officiated and burial was made at Fairbrook. i A STINE.—David C. Stine, aone time resi- dent of Bellefonte, died quite suddenly at his home at Tipton, Blair county, last Friday morning. He had not been in the best of health for some days but was able to be around and even worked most all day on Thursday. His death at five o'clock on Friday morning was due to heart failure. Deceased was born in Lebanon county and was 74 years and 13 days old. He came to Centre county when a young man and worked at his oc- cupation as a carpenter in varions places until 1873 when he went to Tipton. Later he moved to Tyrone and some years after returned to Bellefonte. He was here a few years when he again moved to Ty- rone where he lived until a year or so ago when he took up his residence in Tipton. In 1859 he was married to Miss E. A. Wagner, a daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. P. Wagner, of Millheim, who died in 1880, and in 1881 he was married for the second time to Miss Margaret Zentmyer, of Alexandria. She survives with two children, E. W. Stine, of Tyrone, and Mrs. H. W. Dinges, of Centre Hall He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. C. B. Wagner, of Lebanon, and Mrs. Mary Weaver of Unionville. The funeral was held on Monday afternoon, burial! being rone. | i i I Warn. —Following an illness of two weeks with pneumonia Mrs. Sarah J.

The enrollment of teachers took place Monday morning | and all told there were a few over three hundred teachers present out of a total | of 326 in the county.

Mr. Charles has been an honest, industrious, hard working man all his life, and has the respect and es- teem of all who know him. He has been a life-long Democrat of the staunchest type and for more than forty years a sub- scriber to this paper. In fact he would not think his Sunday complete if he did not have the WATCHMAN to read. And we might here mention the fact that he considers it almost a religious duty to pay his subscription in advance. progress as manifested in church and | state, industrial and commercial life, and , cited how the school was the place where the foundation stone of all was laid. The school vecures the child in the embryo of | manhood and itis up to the teacher to give him proper mental, moral and re- ligious training to fit him for the future, in whatever walk of life he may elect to travel. On Tuesday afternoon Prof. L. A. King, of the Lock Haven Normal, made his first appearance. He took for his subject, “What is your chief 2im in your work.” His talk was along the same line as the speakers who had preceded him, an endeavor to impress upon the minds | of the teachers the necessity of a fixed purpose, such as an individual interest in every child and its progress. His talk was forceful as well as interesting. Prof. C. D. Koch, a state High school inspector, talked on courses of study, ex- | plaining the economy in adopting a uni- form course. The mental life of a child is not composed of one thing alone buta unity of things, and to train it properly La constant care and thought on part of the teacher. Dr. Kinneman spoke of the achieve- ments of the teacher through a uniform course of study. Tuesday evening the same gentleman lectured on “Tempera- ment in Teaching.” The various talks on Wednesday and yesterday were equally interesting with spected residents of Stormstown, died at | where he followed the occupation of a her home in that place on Thursday, De- | jahorer.

Strohm, in Centre Hall, last Saturday when their youngest daughter, Miss Margaret Strohm, was united in marriage to Ammon R. Burk- holder, of Philipsburg, N. J. The cere- mony, which took place in the afternoon, was performed by Rev. J. Max Lantz, of Spring Mills. Owing to the illness of the bride's father it was a very quiet wedding, the only persons present being the mem- bers of the Strohm family and the bride- groom's mother, Mrs. Mary Burkholder, of Centre Hill. The bridegroom is a na- tive of Potter township but now holds a good position with the railroad company at Philipsburg, N. J.,, where the young couple will make their future home, after a brief wedding trip. cy - ——Frederick William Topelt was the guest of honor at a turkey dinner at the Country club on Wednesday evening. ——Thomas Beaver and John McCoy were promoters of a large sledding party who drove to Centre Hall on Monday evening for a chicken and waffle supper. ——Two handsomely embroidered cen- tre pieces are on exhibit in Yeager's shoe store, the work of Mrs. Harry Yeager.

The job is apparently a very good one, though it remains to be seen whether or not it will be durable after being put down in such cold weather, when the concrete froze almost as soon as put down. _ ——In the case of the Brunswick-Balke Calendar company against Edward Shaf- fer, of Philipsburg, the last one tried in court last week, the plaintiff company was awarded a verdict of $613, the full amount of their claim without interest. The case was brought because the de- fendant refused to pay the above amornt in settlement for a bar purchased for the Lloyed house in Philipsburg. ——The Carrell Comedy Co. will be at the opera house all of Christmas week. Monday, December 26th, legal Christmas day, a matinee for ladies and children at 10 and 20 cents. Bargain prices and a treat for everybody. Monday night a famous play with plenty of fine special- ties. This company is one of the most popular ones on the road. Don’t forget Monday afternoon and night. Prices 10, 20 and 30 cents. ~—T. Clayton Brown scored another hit at the Scenic at last Saturday after- noon's matinee when he gave a very lib- eral bag of candy to every girl and boy in attendance. Of course this is only in line with his progressive management at all times but it made a hit nevertheless. The Scenic this week has been a popular place with the teachers and of course is patronized liberally at all times by the people of Bellefonte. The pictures are always good. -—
