Being Sick the Devil Would be a Monk.
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.

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

TEACHERS" INSTITUTE. — The sixty- |
fourth annual teachers’ institute of Cen-

on Monday afternoon. The enrollment
of teachers took place Monday morning |
and all told there were a few over three

of 326 in the county.
The first speaker on Monday afterncon i

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

BURKHOLDER—STROHM.—A very quiet
wedding took place at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. James B. 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.

——The new granite steps and marble
tile floor on the porch at the court house
were completed last Saturday and the
same now compares very favorably with
the interior of the building. 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

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.
