No MUMMER'S PAPADE.—New Year's
day this year hardly seemed like New
Years at all because of the absence of the
Mummer’s parade from Pleasant Gap
and Horntown. For a number of years
past this has been one of the leading fea-
tures of New Years and was always look-
ed forward to with a good deal of antici-
pation by the people of Bellefonte. But
for various reasons those who usually
took the lead in getting up the parade
deemed it best not to have one this year
and the writer knows that it was a great
disappointment to Bellefonte people, as
many inquiries were made at this office
as to whether there would be a parade or
not. Possibly by next year our neigh-
bors from Pleasant Gap will reconsider
their determination of this year and give
us a better and larger parade than ever
before.
Aside from the the fact that the banks
were closed and the postoffice and tele-
graph companies observed holiday hours,
no difference was apparent in New Years
from that of any other day. All business
places were open as usual throughout
the entire day. Beginning yesterday
evening most of the stores in Bellefonte
will close at six o'clock, except Wednes-
days and Saturdays, until March 15th.
AT THE OPERA House.—Two good en-
tertainments are in store for Bellefonte
theatre-goers. On Saturday, January
11th, Keene, the magician, will be at the
opera house for a matinee and evening.
As a mystifier Keene has no superior and
few, if any, equals. The press and pub-
lic are profuse in their praise of his weird
and wonderful performance and unani-
mously pronounce him “America’s great-
est magician.” From the moment the |
curtain rises on his first trick until its fi-
nal drop, his audience is kept in a state
of bewilderment and surprise. He per-
forms, with perfect ease, feats which to
the uninitiated seem utterly impossible.
On Wednesday, January 11th, Charles
Klein's American play, “The Lion and
; cated in the public schools and the old
Aaronsburg academy and when a young
man learned the trade of a shoemaker.
Later he engaged in the mercantile busi-
ness but after a year or two gave it up
to return to the shoemaker’s bench. In
1872 he was one of the men instrumental
in organizing the Pennsvalley Banking
company at Centre Hall, and was made
cashier of the same, a position he filled
at the time of his death. During his for-
ty years in that position he discharged
his duties with the utmost fidelity to the
stockholders of the bank as well as the
customers of the institution.
He was a man who always had the in-
terest of his home town at heart and did
all he could for its advancement. He
was one of the promoters of the Centre
Hall Water company and was an influen-
tial citizen in every way. He was a mem-
ber of the Reformed church and was an
active worker in the same all his life,
Mr. Mingle was united in marriage to
Miss Elizabeth Yearick who survives
with two children, W. Gross Mingle, of
Centre Hall, and Mrs. J. Emory Hoy, of
Philadelphia. Four brothers also sur-
vive, namely: Dr. D. H. Mingle, of Max-
well, lowa; Thomas J., of Minneapolis;
Albert C., of Bellefonte, and Edward G.,
on the old homestead.
The funeral was held on Monday
morning. Rev. Joues had charge of the
services and burial was made in the Cen-
tre Hall cemetery.
