FRANCIS S. RHOADS MEMORIAL LIBRA-
RY FORMALLY PrEseNTED TO Y. M. C. A.
—A good-sized crowd was present in the
Y. M. C. A. parlor at four o'clock on Sat-
urday afternoon to witness the formal
presentation of the Francis Sinnickson
Rhoads memorial reference library to the
association. The library is the gift of
Miss Rebecca N. Rhoads, who in present-
ing the same to the association is faith-
fully carrying out the oft-expressed wish
of her deceased brother. i
Gen. James A. Beaver made the pre-
sentation speech on behalf of Miss
Rhoads. He first told of the growth and
present standing of the Young Men's
Christian Association throughout the
world and of the great good that is being
done through its influence. He then
stated that an association to be success-
ful must be properly equipped with those
things that appeal to young men and old,
and that nothing could be of greater ben-
efit than the library in question. He
told how Miss Rhoads had spent a week
or two in the government library at
Washington; how she had consulted li-
brarians and various authorities all over
the country in order to get the most and
best kind of reference books possible for
the means she felt able to devote there-
to, and the result was a library of three
hundred volumes, covering cvery possi-
ble subject of science, the arts, inven-
tions, nature and everything in which
the student or any one making a re-
search of any kind may be interested.
All of the latest standard dictionaries,
modern encyclopedias, books on physics,
etc, are included, and where the subjects
treated are issued in volumes Miss
Rhoads has arranged to keep the library
up to date by subscribing for additional |
volumes as they may be issued. This ii- |
brary is enclosed in a handsome book- |
case, on which is a silver plate properly |
inscribed, with the name of the library!
and donor thereof. |
Mr. Charles M. McCurdy, president of |
the association, made the speech of ac- |
ceptance. Hestated that ten years ago |
the Bellefonte Y. M. C. A. appeared to be
a dying organization. But since that
three things have been done which have
put new life into it and put it into good |
standing. First, the association secured
the building they now occupy, which gives
them a good home; second, the board of
directors have succeeded in guaranteeing
the finances of the association so as to
establish a credit in the community by
promptly meeting all bills; and third,
they were fortunate in securing Dr. Wes-
ton as general secretary, a man whose
services to the association could not be
measured in words. And for such an as-
sociation, the speaker said, it gave him
great satisfaction and pleasure to accept
on behalf of the association the splendid
library referred to, feeling sure thatit
would be of inestimable benefit to the
members of the association as well as the
community at large.
When the speechmaking was over Mr.
McCurdy, for Dr. Weston, invited
all those present to remain and partake
of light refreshments which had very
thoughtfully been prepared by the latter.

SwiMMING Poor For Y. M. C. A.—Dur- |
ing the past week announcement was
made of the munificent offer of Mrs.
Margaret W. Wilson to give a swimming |
pool to the Y. M. C. A, and only those |
who have knowledge of what a blessing |
to the young people of the town as well
as advantage to the Association a swim-
ming pool will be can fully appreciate the
magnanimity of Mrs. Wilson's offer.
The swimming pool will be erected on
the lot of the Y. M. C. A. alongside of the
gymnasium and will be about 30x75 feet
insize. It will be of concrete and will
vary from three feet in depth at one end
to ten feet at the other. The building in
which the pool will be located will be
built of brick and will be large enough to
afiord ample platform room all around
the pool, with places for spring-boards,
etc. The building will be heated so that
the water will be of an even and warm
enough temperature. It will also be kept
fresh and clean by constant circulation.
Plenty of windows and large skylights in
the building will admit an abundance of
fresh air, light and sunshine. The plans
for the building are now being prepared
and as soon as completed and the weath-
er will permit work will be begun and it
is expected that the building will be fin-
nished sometime during the summer. The
exact cost has not yet been determined
but it will be approximately ten thousand
dollars, and the entire amount, whatever
it may be, will be borne by Mrs. Wiison.
The members of the Association will
have access to the swimming pool at any
and all times except on one or two days
a week which will be set apart for the
special benefit of the ladies of the town
who may desire to take advantage of the
healthful exercise.
BARN BURNED.—About ten o'clock last
Saturday morning the large barn on the
George F. Stevenson farm near Waddle
caught fire in some inexplicable manner
and was entirely destroyed, together with
the contents of grain, hay and straw and
all the adjoining outbuildings. All the
live stock was gotten out without being
harmed. The barn was one of the bestin
in Buffalo Run valley and Mr. Steven-
son's loss is considerable. The total in-
surance carried on buildings and contents
was $916, which will not anyways near
cover the loss. It is thought by some
that the fire may have originated from a
spark from the McNitt—Huyett saw mill,
which is located in close proximity, but
this is not certain.

All members are urged to go and take |
with them their friends.
~—-0n Wednesday evening one hun. |
dred young people gathered at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. John Klinger, near Shin-
| gletown, as a surprise party for their son
' William, who attained his majority that
day. The young man received many
| presents and during the evening there
| was dancing and refreshments.
——Word was received here Wednesday
that the condition of former Judge Cyrus
N. Gordon, of Clearfield, had become so
precarious that his family had been called
to his bedside and that little hope of his
recovery was entertained. Judge Gordon
has been in failing health for several
years, but his many friends here will be
sorry indeed to learn that his case is hope-
less.
——That the hunters of Pennsylvania
are united in their opposition to the bill
proposed by the State Game Commission
to put a license tax of one dollar on every
man who owns a gun or goes hunting is
shown in the fact that in response to a re-
quest of the Hunters and Anglers’ asso-
ciation over thirty-four thousand people
have signed the petitions of remonstrance
to the passing of such a bill. Of the
above number 1,708 are from Centre coun-
ty.
——The Pennsylvania railroad company
has had printed and distributed among
its various employees a folder entitled
“Hints on First Aid to the Injured.” It
contains some very good and expli
what to do in case gf

in rendering efficient help to any person
who may be injured on the railroad or
anyone becoming ill while riding on the
train.
——Next Sunday communion services
will be held in the United Brethren
church of this place, both morning and
evening; the pastor will also baptize any
children presented at these services. On
the following evening the second quarter-
ly conference will be held; also, Rev.
Sawyer, of Youngwood, Pa., will deliver
the first of a series of evangelistic ser:
mons, to be continued indefinitely. The
public will be given a hearty welcome at
all of these services.
——Miss Anna McCoy's afternoon with
cards, Thursday, in honor of Miss Mary
Harris, the bride of next week; Mrs.
John P. Harris’ dinner, Friday evening at
which the honor guests were Dr. and
Mrs. Platts and Dr. Fife; Mrs. Frank
Thomas’ five o'clock dinner Saturday;
Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Quigley’s bridge party
Monday evening and Mrs. R. S. Brouse's
four tables of flinch and five hundred the
same night; Miss Mary Brockerhoff’s
bridge Tuesday night with the dance in
the town hall brought the social life in
Bellefonte to a close on the eve of Ash
Wednesday.
——Agricultural organizations through-
out the State and farmers generally are
very much interested in the bill now be-
fore the Legislature providing for the
establishment of a state fair and making
an appropriation sufficient to not only
cover all necessary expense of holding
same, but to provide for such premiums
and purses as will make it an object of
patronage to farmers and stock raisers,
The proposition has not gotten far
enough aleng for selection of the site
for holding such a fair but it will
be as centrally located as possible to as-
sure good grounds and a large attend-
ance.
———Shortly before ten o'clock on Wed-
nesday evening fire broke out in the attic
of the old Kline house on Spring street,
owned by John P. Sebring, and did con-
siderable damage before the flames could
be extinguished. How the fire originated
is a mystery. The house has not been
occupied for two months or longer.
Workmen have been engaged in making
repairs and Dr. Sebring, who will occupy
the house, had already moved some of
his furniture into it. But so far as known
nobody had been on the attic where the
fire broke out. The flames burned a good
sized hole through the roof before they
were finally checked and with the water
used to extinguish the fire considerable
damage was done. The loss, however, is
covered by insurance.

successful in securing some booty, but at |
Mr. Chambers’ they got nothing for their |
trouble. At every house an entrance was
effected by forcing open a downstairs
window. They were also at Mrs. Evelyn
j day to spend Sunday with the former's oor’ lume, but the nuree there evie)
| dently frustrated their plans for an en- |
trance.
At Gen. Beaver’s they stole the pocket-
book of Mrs. Platts, who was a guest
there that night, securing between seven
and eight dollars in cash. They took
Thomas Beaver's trousers out of his
room and carried them downstairs, but
got no money. At Dr. Ward's they forced
open a small window in the kitchen and

and down. In the bedroom occupied by
Dr. and Mrs. Ward they took out three
bureau drawers and went through them,
but got nothing of value there, although
they got between eight and ten dollars
from the pockets of the doctor's trousers
and took his gold watch as well as Mrs.
Ward's watch. From the sideboard in
the dining room they took two silver
knives, but did not disturb those on the
As stated above nothing was got-
ten in the Chambers louse, although they
had gone through a good part of it, as
could be seen from the trail of burnt
matches on the floor.
Of course there is no clue to the rob-
bers, as they were not seen at either
place and none of the robberies were dis-
covered until the next morning. The po-
lice, however, are looking for suspicious
persons and will follow up any clue dis-
covered. In the meantime it might be
advisable for residents of Bellefonte to
keep their houses well locked.
WHO WiLL BE BELLEFONTE'S PosT-
MASTER?—The one question that is excit-
ing the interest of the people of Belle-
fonte at the present time is who will be
Bellefonte’s next postmaster? Mr. Har-
ter's term of four years expired on Tues-
day and the contention for the position
for the ensuing term has been between
himself and Samuel H. Williams. The
latter has had the backing of the Repub-
lican organization in this place and many
of the patrons of the office. In fact it
was claimed that he had the support of
Congressman Barclay, Congressman-
elect Patton and Senator Penrose, but the
one stumbling block to his appointment
was first assistant postmaster general
Hitchcock, who is opposed to remoying a
postmaster, or rather making a change,
except for cause.
However, on last Thursday President
Taft sent Mr. Williams’ name to the Sen-
ate as p r at Bellefonte and nat-
‘his friends’ bo 3
But day after day |
was no report of the appointment being
confirmed and finally on Tuesday Harry
Keller and H. C. Quigley Esgs., went to
Washington in his interest. They re-
turned yesterday and, though nothing
definite could be learned as to what they
accomplished, the fact was disclosed that
Mr. Williams’ name had been withdrawn
by some one after it had been sent to the
Senate by President Taft. Whether Mr.
Williams will be able to finally land the
appointment is the question of great con-
cern to his friends at the present time,
but in the meantime Harter is going
ahead as postmaster with the utmost se-
renity and confidence, and claims that
there will be no change made.
BoLp, Bap Tramps.—Last Saturday
morning a tramp made his appearanceat
the home of Ira Benner near Rock and
on learning from one of the Benner chil-
dren that there were no men around at-
tempted to force an entrance into the
house after he was told by Mrs. Benner
to stay out. Fortunately the Benners
own a dog and Mrs. Benner turned him
loose on the tramp. In the meantime
she went to the stairway aud secured a
shot gun and used it as a club with such
good effect that between the woman's
beating and the dog's vicious attacks the
man took to his heels and ran away.
On Tuesday morning when a youngson
of D. A. Grove, near Lemont, was fecd-
ing the horses he prodded a tramp who
was asleep under a pile of hay. The
tramp jumped up and hit the boy with
such force as to knock him over a feed
box then made off as fast as he could be-
fore the men made their appearance.
DELIGE'S DEATH WARRANT RECEIVED. —
Sheriff W. E. Hurley on Wednesday noon
received the death warrant for Bert De-
lige and the same was read to him after
he had finished his noonday meal. The
only man with the sheriff when he read
the warrant was deputy sheriff Fred W.
Rees. Delige was more or less affected
when he heard his doom read to him, at
times trembling very visibly, but had not
a word to say one way or the other. He
has less than two months of life be-
fore him and this he will likely spend in
the same unperturbed way he has lived
ever since his arrest. As Centre county
has a gallows stored in the jail the final
preparations for Delige’s execution will
take but little time and will not be made
until the week prior to the fatal date.
——Lewis H. McQuistion has so far re-
covered from his recent very serious ill-

be at the shop long enough every day to
