STRAUB.—Mrs. Alice A. Straub, wife of Elmer C. Straub, died at her home on the old Alexander farm west of Belle- fonte at 5.30 o'clock on Monday morning of neuralgia of the heart. She had been in her usual health up until nine o'clock on Sunday evening when she complained of toothache. Later she was attacked with pains in her shoulders and chest, and pain so intense that she was unable to go to bed and with her husband re- mained up all night applying what reme- dies they had on hand. Shortly before five o'clock Mr. Straub came to town for a doctor and after he left the house Mrs. Straub went upstairs, dressed herself and with her daughter went down stairs to start breakfast. She sat down in a chair and feeling very faint asked her daugh- ter for the camphor. Those were the last words she spoke, as her death fol- lowed almost instantly. Deceased was a daughter of James and Mary Alexander and was born near Belle- fonte on February 6th, 1859, hence at her death was 53 years and 11 months old. Since her marriage to Mr. Straub they have lived on the old homestead farm. In addition to her husband she is survived by two children, Anna Mary and James Alexander. She was a member of the Presbyterian church and a good christian woman. The funeral took place from her late home at two o'clock yesterday afternoon. Dr. George E. Hawes had charge of the services and burial was made in the Union cemetery. | | Hess.—Charles C. Hess, the well known gardener and fruit grower, of Rush town- ship, died at his home about a mile south of Philipsburg on Saturday afternoon. He suffered an attack of the grip early last week and later pneumonia develop- ed. Other complications followed which caused his death. He was a son of William and Sarah Hess, deceased, and was born at Beaver Springs, Snyder county, on January 26th, 1855, making his age 57 years, 11 months and 10 days. When eighteen years of age he moved with his parents to the neighborhood of Philipsburg and that had been his home ever since, with the ex- ception of several years spent in the South. A number of years ago he engaged in farming and later specialized in fruit growing, truck farming and gardening, and in these lines was one of the most successful men in Centre county. Just last week he was awarded two or three prizes in the corn growing contest at State College. " Surviving him are his wife and the fol- jowing children: Millard, living near Pittsburgh; Edward, Homer, Samuel, Ralph, Carrie, Sarah and Catharine. He also leaves one brother, Frank W. Hess, of Sandy Ridge, and one sister, Mrs. Ida M. Rothrock, of Philipsburg. Burial was made in the Philipsburg cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. | | REED.—At 1230 o'clock on Monday night John Reed, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Reed, died at his parent’s home at Scotia as a direct result of an attack of the grip. The young man, who was nine- teen years old, had been an invalid since boyhood and when he was attacked with the grip recently it developed into catarrhal pneumonia and his system was too enfeebled to withstand the ravages of the disease and his death followed. Physically enfeebled as he has been all his life he bore his affliction uncomplain- ingly and got as much of sunshine and happiness out of his short life as it was possible to get. Through the patient and loving administrations of his parents and brothers and sisters his life was made as easy and comfortable as possible. While he was not a member of any church he had confidence and faith in the bible as taught him by his mother, and the sor- row and suffering of this werld will no doubt render his home beyond the grave incomparably brighter. In addition to his parents he is survived by four broth- ers and three sisters. The funeral was held at two o'clock on Wednesday after- noon, burial being made in the Gray's church cemetery. : | | INGRAM.—Mrs. Louise E. Ingram, wid. ow of the late Hickman Ingram, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James Kellerman, on east Bishop street, last Friday morning, of paralysis, after an iliness of one month. She was a daugh ter of John and Sarah Wilson and was in her eighty-fourth year. She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Kellerman. The funeral was held from her late residence at one o'clock on Monday afternoon, Revs. Hawes and Yocum officiated and burial was made in the Union cemetery. | . - - - RHOADS. —When the announcement of the death of Edward K.

There is a certain public man in Washington long noted for his quaint wit. One day last winter, when the sidewalks were quite slippery by rea. son of a fall of sleet that morning, this official and his wife were proceed. ing down a thoroughfare carefully picking their way. Just ahead of them was a little foreigner, a member of one of the legations, who was having just as much difficulty as they in keeping on his feet. Finally the lit tle fellow slipped and fell, but not with sufficient force to injure him. His dignity, however, received a fright. ful shock, for he sprawled over the pavement in the most ludicrous way. The lady could not restrain a smile, perceiving which the irate foreigner, as soon as he had picked himself up, rushed forward tnd presented the offi cial with his card. . The recipient looked the card over very carefully. “Beg pardon,” said’ he, “but why am I thus favored?” “Your ladee here,” raged the for eigner, “she laugh at me as I fall! I, sir, I demand the satisfaction!” The American gently handed back the card. “I'd like to oblige you, my dear sir,” said he, “but I think you've addressed the wrong party. I would suggest that you go to this lady's brother and demand of him the satis. faction you seek. She is no blood relative of mine!” Oppose Eccentric Dances. London hostesses, following the tradition of the land which found its way into the saying “Write a letter to the Times,” are letting newspapers know that they will resist to the ut most any effort to introduce the gris zly bear hug and other American dances into English ballrooms. The newspapers themselves do not share the fear that these freaks of the waxed floor will gain a foothold there, but one of them says that “though the ES o £8 < gr EE i : §3 2p i
