THE ACADEMY MINSTRELS.—The annual
performance of the Bellefonte Academy
| Minstrels was given at Garman's last
| Friday and Saturday evenings. A crowd-
ed house greeted the amateurs the first
| night and enough were present the sec-
| ond evening to net about $160.00 for the
| new running track on Hughes field.
The show was unusually strong in mu-
sical numbers, but lacked a sufficient
; amount of farce comedy to give it the
real minstrel flavor. Forty-six black
| faced students greeted the audience
' when the curtain roiled up on the first
| part and supported by a fine orchestra
| Purcell Beattie, as director, led them |
that he will drivesimply for the pleasure ;
' through the tuneful medley that made
' up their opening chorus. Then the end
men opened fire with a volley of jokes
and repartee that was decidedly clever
and the solo numbers were so interspers-
ed as to give the proper variety of enter-
tainment. The best songs of the even-
ing were Mr. Bemus’ “Sweet Miss Mary,”
Arthur Roderick’s “I Apologize” and Mr.
Beatties "Mine."
In the Olio William Bemus, James Col-
lopy, David Merrill and Edward Maltby,
as the Jimtown Quartet, introduced a
very pleasing musical skit and Hard P.
Harris, as "Prof. Schlobberspitz,” offered
a Dutch number in which “Schnitzel
Bank” was featured. During this act
William Groh Runkle made his debut as
a soloist and while very few could under-
stand his Dutch song all were made ac-
quainted with the quality of the voice
that has caused more or less of a sensa-
tion in private musical circles lately by
its dulcet rendition of “Genevieve.”
All in all the minstrels were fine and if
any criticism at all were to be made it
would be limited to one or two things.
The show, as most amateur performanc-
es are, was too long; several of the end
men failed to get the proper results out
of very clever jokes because they did not
bring them out strong enough, and with
as good a quartet as the boys have they
could have gotten some beautiful music-
al effects out of the ballads that were
sung in the opening.
FATALLY BURNED.—Mrs. George W.
McWilliams, one of the best known wom-
en of west Ferguson township, was so
badly burned on Wednesday afternoon
that she died at five o'clock yesterday
morning. She was boiling soap and got too
close to the open fire when her clothing
caught fire and she was soon enveloped
in flames. Her limbs and body were ter-
ribly burned and she inhaled the flames.
The accident occurred shortly after one
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon and she
lived for sixteen hours, though suffering
terrible agony.
Deceased was a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Peter Keichline and was born in
Ferguson township or August 7th, 1839
| hence was 71 years, 9 months and 15
| days old. Her entire life was spent in
Ferguson township and after her mar-
riage to Mr. McWilliams the family lived
on a farm near Fairbrook. She is sur-
vived by her husband and the following
children: Mrs. Newton Hess, of Ferguson
township; Mrs. J. T. Buckwalter, of
Lancaster; Mrs. Edward Bowersox, of
Altoona; Mrs. Newton Dreiblebis, of
Fairbrook; George, of Harrisburg; John:
at home; Henry of Ferguson township,
and Samuel, located near Pittsburgh.
Three sisters and two brothers also sur-
vive, namely; Mrs. Margaret Meek, of
Altoona; Mrs. Sarah Gardner, of Rock
Springs; Mrs. Susan Goss, of Pine Grove
| Mills, and John M. and Peter F. Keich-
line, of Bellefonte. The funeral will be
held at ten o'clock tomorrow (Saturday)
morning, but the complete arrangements
are not known.
——Remember the day, May 25th.
This is the opening day of the Cash Non-
Delivery store,
A NARROW EsScAPE.—Thomas F. Kelly,
the Cato coal operator, was driving his
car from here to State College, on Tues-
day afternoon with a party of gentlemen
and when in the vicinity of the home of
commissioner Dan Grove, this side of
Lemont, they ran into a lot of new tele-
phone wires which were being stretched
on the Bell pole line along the pike. At
that point the wires cross the road and
the dozen or more new ones that were
being strung were hanging in a bunch
just high enough from the roadway to
clear the hood of the machine. Mr.
Kelly did not notice them because they
were new copper and shining in the sun
may have looked like the brass frames on
his wind shield.
Fortunately he was driving slow so
that when he struck the wires they rolled
up along the strap supports for the top
and there caught under the front of the
top and stripped it right back off the
machine.
H. S. Ray was seated beside Mr. Kelley
and in the back seat were Hard P. Har-
ris and D. G. Stewart. All of them duck-
ed saving probable injury but had the top
straps not rolled the wires up they might
have had a very serious accident.
BELLEFONTE ACADEMY RECEPTION. —
The annual reception and dance of the
Bellefonte Academy will ke held in the
armory on Friday evening of next week,

home immediately after the ceremony.

——The date for the card party which
the Ladies Auxiliary of the Bellefonte

| Hughes field will be duly opened on the
| afternoon of Memorial day when the
Bellefonte Academy will hold an inter-
class meet. The events will begin at two
o'clock and this will be a good opportuni-
ty for the people of Bellefonte to see
what kind of track men the Academy
can turn out. Medais will be given the
| winners of the several events.

——An item of interest to many Centre
countians was the marriage last Satur-
day of Charles E. Allison, son of Hon.
William M. Allison, of Spring Mills, and
Miss Hermine Brown, of New York city.
‘Lhe bridegroom has held an important
position with the Shipley Construction and
Supply company and last season made
a trip abroad in their interest. This year
Mr. Shipley had intended going abroad
but for various reasons could not get
away and Mr. Allison was again deputized
to go. Owing to this fact he and Miss
Brown decided to get married now and
turn the trip abroad into their honey-
moon. They will sail from New York city
tomorrow.

ery. You can save all of this at the Cash
Non-Delivery grocery store.

—The Old Fort farm—one of the
most productive and best located proper-
ties in the county can now be bought at
private sale. Its owner, General Taylor
of Mifflin county, feeling that owing to
his advanced age—his next birthday
making him eighty-five—its care and
oversight should be turned over to a
younger man has concluded to part
with it, and offers it at a very raesona-
ble price, considering its actual value,
its splendid location, the excellent condi-
tion of its building, the fertility of its soil
and its uniform productiveness. The
property contains about 140 acres, every
foot of which is tillable except 17 acres
which are covered with the finest white-
oak timber in the county. It has plenty of
fruit, an abundance of running water, its
barus and buildings less than half a mile
from the Centre Hall railway station, and
is in one of the prettiest valleys of the
State. Further particulars will be given
upon inquiry made at the WATCHMAN
office.
——We guarantee to sell you groceries
for less than any other store in Centre
county, Why? We sell for cash, do not
deliver. Visit the opening of the Cash
Non-Delivery store May 25th.
MAY MEAN STARTING OF FURNACE.—
The iron market has shown some im-
provement the past few weeks and the
result has been manifest in Bellefonte as
the shipment of iron has been increased
until now four carsa day are being sent
out from the Nittany and Bellefonte fur-
naces. This means a shipment of about
two hundred and forty tons daily. At
this rate the stock on hand will be ex-
hausted in six weeks or two months and
it is only natural to conclude that this
may mean the putting in blast of one of
the furnaces at least. Local men in
charge of the company’s business admit
that there has been some discussion as
to the advisability of putting the Belle-
fonte furnace in blast,but other than that
there has been no decision in the matter
and until there is the question of start-
ing is an indefinite as it has been at any
time in the past two years. But the
very fact that the shipments of iron have
been largely increased in the past ten
days is at least encouraging.
——We sell for cash, you carry your
own goods home. Our store is on Bishop
St., where rents are cheap. We are re-
ducing the cost of business one-half.
This is the reason you can purchase gro-
ceries so cheap at the Cash Non-Delivery
store on Bishop St.
