A meeting of the Village Improvement committee will im- mediately follow that of the club and all members are urged to be present. — Another meeting will be held in the office of W. Harrison Walker Esq. this (Friday) evening at eight o'clock for the purpose of furthering the movement for the organization of a Retail Mer- chant’s association. Every merchant in Bellefonte is requested to attend as some questions of unusual importance will be discussed. —f anybody asks you to make a date for either Friday or Saturday evenings, May 5th and 6th, don’t do it unless it is a date to attend the performance of the Academy minstrels, which will take place on those evenings. It may seem a little far ahead to be talking of this now but the fact that it isto be an athletic benefit should stir up everyone to work for its success. ~The Beilefonte friends of Harry H. Schroyer, of Chicago, will be interested in learning that he is fast becoming a mil- lionaire, if he is not already one, from a patented invention of his which has been adopted by the Pullman car company and other car companies. He has purchased a handsome home in one of the fashion- able suburbs of Chicago and drives around in a ten thousand dollar Pierce-Arrow car. ———— ii iin —'Squire George S. Berryhill, of Blanchard, who has a reputation of set- tling more cases than any other justice of the peace in the county, had one last week that taxed his acumen to the limit. It was an action of one woman against three others for slander and as each and all of them had to have their say it took the "Squire some time to smoothe their ruffled feathers—and tempers as well— and get all of them satisfied. —Adjutant General Thomas J. Stew- art made public last Friday the names of the National Guard officers selected to go to the maneuvre camps along the Mexi- can frontier to view the movements of the United States troops. Eighteen out of a total of over four hundred willing ones have been detailed to report at San Antonia, Texas, April fifth, but none of the Bellefonte officers of Company L, Twelfth regiment, are on the list. ——The general saying is that every- thing is a matter of habit. In many in- stances such is the case, but it is more than habit that draws the large crowds to the Scenic every evening. It is the good program of moving pictures you are al- ways sure of seeing and the excellent or- der at all times. There never wasanoth- er place like it in Bellefonte and it has no superior, if any equals, anywhere in the State. That's the reason it isso well patronized. If you don’t attend, try it once. ——— ——-M. A. Landsy has had on exhibi- tion at the Brockerhoff house this week a life size painting of J. D. Hancock Esq., of Franklin. It is one of the best re- productions in oil turned out by this well known firm of portrait painters, Antrim & Lundsy, of Philadelphia. In fact it is so life-like in appearance that it was strongly commented upon by Rev. John Hewitt, who is a warm personal friend of Mr. Hancock, and who declared it one of the very best likenesses of a man he had ever seen, while as a work of art itis also high class. —Edward Brown Jr., bought the property of James McCafferty on east | Logan street and will make that place the home of his family instead of Baltimore. Mr. Brown and family accompanied the remains of his father here on Monday and are now in Bellefonte awaiting the arrival of their household goods. Once they have everything fixed up Mrs. Brown and two children, Mame and Lec, will remain here. Mr. Brown and daughter Kathryn will go to Tennessee where the former is working for the J. G. White people and the latter is a hospital nurse, and Richard will continue his work in Baltimore. i e — ——Sunday was warm and pleasant and BrowN.—Edward Brown Sr., for many years a resident of Bellefonte, died at the home of his son, Edward Jr., in Balti- more, at 7:30 o'clock last Thursday even- ing. His death was due to no particular disease but merely the wearing out of what was once a robust constitution owing to his extreme age, which was just three days less than one hundred years. Deceased was born in County Donegal, Ireland, on March 27th, 1811. He came to this country when a young man and shortly afterwards located in Bellefonte. During the first few years of his life in Bellefonte he followed various occupa- tions and later embarked in the hote | business. His first venture was as land. lord of a hostelry on the southwest cor- ' ner of Bishop and Allegheny streets called ' “Our House.” He later became proprietor | of the Butts hotel, now called the Brant house. After quitting the hotel business "he conducted a butcher shop and grocery : store respectively in his own building on ithe corner of Allegheny and Bishop | streets. He was always of a frugal nature | and naturally was successful in acquiring | considerable property. He made Belle- , fonte his home until something over a | year ago when he accompanied his son | Edward and family to Baltimore. But he never was fully contented in that city and | the family were making preparations to ! return to Bellefonte and Mr. Brown hoped to live for that day but Providence willed | it otherwise. When a young man he was united in marriage in Bellefonte to Miss Bridget Burns, a native of Dublin, Ireland, who died many years ago. His only survivors are his son Edward, and one sister, Mrs, Margaret Kane, of Altoona. Funeral services were held in the Catholic church in Baltimore on Sunday and on Monday morning the remains were brought to Bellefonte. They were taken to the Catholic church where an opportunity was given all those desiring to do so to take a last look at one whom they knew for years, after which burial was made in the Catholic cemetery. il i Test.—Mrs. Harry Test, of Philipsburg, died at the home of her niece in Pitcairn on Sunday night, of heart trouble. She left Philipsburg last week in good health and had been with her niece only a few days when she was taken sick and died quite suddenly. Deceased was a daughter of Reuben and Elizabeth Iddings and was born at Plum Grove, in Union township, on Sep- tember 11th, 1862, hence was 48 years, 6 months and 15 days old. Since her mar- riage to Mr. Test she had lived in Phil- ipsburg. Surviving her are her husband and two sons, Sommerville and Herbert, both of Philipsburg. She also leaves one brother and three sisters, namely: Philip, of Plum Grove; Mrs. Willard Fisher and Mrs. Hannah Gill, of Unionville, and Mrs. Alma White, of Columbus, Ohio. The remains were taken to her late home in Philipsburg on Tuesday evening from where the funeral was held yesterday afternoon, burial being made in the Phil- ipsburg cemetery. | | Musser.—After only four days illness with pneumonia Mrs. E. C. Musser died at her home in Greenville, Pa., on Wed- nesday morning. Her maiden name was Miss Mabel Worley and she was born in Williamsport twenty-one years ago. Last September she was united in marriage to E. C. Musser, of Ferguson township, and immediately thereafter they went to Greenville where Mr. Musser became principal of the public school. Mrs. Mus- ser was a member of the Lutheran chutch and Sunday school and an earnest work- er in both. She was a bright and in- telligent young woman and her untimely death is deeply deplored by all who knew her. The remains were brought to Cen- tre county and taken to the Musser home on the Branch from where the funeral will be held tomorrow (Saturday) morn- ing at 10:30 o'clock. Rev. Sausserman, of State College, will officiate and burial will be made in the new cemetery at Pine | Grove Mills. | | | ENTWISLE.—Joseph Lee Entwisle,” a | brother of Mrs. Frank P.

No stamps will be sold, but the general delivery window will be open a brief time to deliver mail to the traveling public. All box holders will be able to get their { mail as usual, as such mail will be prompt- !ly distributed. Local patrons who are | served by carriers will be unable to get | their mail on Sunday, but in the event | that they are expecting an important let, | ter they can get same by applying at the | general delivery window when it is open ! and filling out a blank describing the let- ter and where it is from when it will be given if there.

She was seventy-three years of age and practical- ly her entire life was spent in Walker township. Her husband died last June | but surviving her are the following chil- dren: Mrs. Catharine Harshberger, of Hublersburg; Clayton, of Altoona; H. A. of Zion, and Miss Ada, at home. Burial was made at Zion on Saturday. ! finger of his left hand amputated. There are now twenty-six patients in the insti- tution, there having been two deaths this week and Mrs. George Darr, of Coleville, and Mrs. Cora Fink, of Julian, discharg- ed. Mrs. George Darr’s case is one of the most peculiar on record. It will be re- membered that over two months ago she ran a needle into her abdomen while doihg the family washing and a week or so later blood poison set in. She was taken to the hospital but all efforts to locate the needle proved futile. Her condition be- came so bad that the doctors had little | hope of saving her life but when her con- dition seemed most critical she suddenly took a turn for the better and improved right along. While not entirely well her condition is such that it was deemed per- fectly safe for her to return home. Jacob Marks is still in the hospital, but is convalescing now more rapidly than at first and he will likely be discharged in the near future. He has been in the hospital since February 6th, or almost eight weeks. ——Rev. and Mrs. Ezra H. Yocum will arrive in Bellefonte this (Frid) after- noon and at eight o'clock this evening the members of the Methodist chuich will tender their new pastor a formal re- ception in the lecture room of the church. All members and friends are invited to be present. - Architect Robert Cole has complet ed plans and specifications for a new Walker township High school building to be erected at Hublersburg. The plans call for a substantial brick structure with all necessary modern conveniences. The plans haye been approved and accepted by the school directors. ——Having traversed most every sec- tion of the State the good roads special train operated by the Pennsylvania rail- road and The Pennsylvania State Col- lege, passed through Bellefonte on Wednesday on its way to State College, where the equipment will be kept until the train is sent out on another trip. Taking advantage of the train's lay up at the college a big good roads meeting will be held there Saturday afternoon which | will be open not only to the students of the college but farmers and everybody in the county interested in improving the pub- lic highways. Addresses will be made by competent speakers and the latest im- proved road making machinery will be on exhibition all the time. In addition a meeting will be held on Monday. The cars will be open for in- spection from 9 a. m. to 4p. m. each day. A mass meeting will be held in the au- ditorium at four o'clock Monday. This will close the work of the good roads special for the present. with favorable recommendation and there | Miss Rosie McCormick, who has been attend. is every reason to believe it will be pass- ed by the Legislature and approved by the Governor. This is the bill that pro- vides for the building of about five thous- and miles of state highway connecting every county seat in the State at a total cost of fifty million dollars. Under the original bill the route from Lock Haven to Tyrone was by way of Bald Eagle valley and Nittany valley and State College was untouched The bill was later amended and the road as now planned for Centre county will be over the following routes: From Bellefonte across the Seven mountains to Lewistown; and from the Old Fort through the Narrows to Lewis- burg. From Bellefonte to Lock Haven by way of Nittany valley, and from Belle- fonte to Huntingdon by way of State College and Pennsylvania Furnace. A letter received from Hon. J. C. Mey- er yesterday stated that he had succeed- ed in having Route 219 also scheduled which provides for a road from Clear- field by way of Philipsburg and Port Ma- tilda to Milesburg, thence down Bald Ea- gle valley to Lock Haven. The above routes cover Centre county complete, with the exception of Buffalo Run and Halfmoon valleys. Dogs CENTRE COUNTY WANT THE WEST! ERN PENITENTIARY.—There is a bill now before the Legislature, which has been favorably reported out of committee for the removal of the western penitentiary from Allegheny county to the central part of the State, either Huntingdon or Centre county: The fact that Governor Tener has expressed himself in favor of the bill looks as if it might pass and be- be the choosing of a suitable location. Centre countians tried very hard to se- cure the Masonic home which went to Elizabethtown, Lancaster county, and we have always been anxious to secure any institution or industry that would add to the prosperity of the county or the citi- zens thereof, but when it comes to going after the penitentiary that's a matter for very careful consideration. As a general rule everybody tries to keep about as far away from such an institution as itis possible to do, and it would seem like tempting fates to have it brought any nearer. ——Tuesday, March 28th, being the birthday anniversary of Mrs. F. C. Mc- Intyre, of Pittsburg, formerly of Belle- fonte, she was very agreeably surprised to receive 116 post cards from friends.

Paul A. Noll and Lydie Rothrock, two of College township's teachers, were off on the sick list for a few days last week. MabeliKline, daughter of John Kline, is at pres- ent confined to her home with an attack of rheu. matism, which will make it bad for moving.
